R.p,c.1 Orrp.cr-Tbe Radicals mad

RADICAL OUTRAGE. The Radicals made
an organized raid on the house where the
election was held in Wikesbarre township.
Luzerne county, on election night, fractured
he skull of one man and wounded two or
three others They tried to seize the bal
lot-box, with til. intention of destroying it,
as the district gives large Democratic ma
iority, but one of the officers escaped with
it. Pistol shots were fired by the Radicals
in the melee, but fortunately no one was
killed outright. This is II specimen of the
Radical method ofmaking up majoriiies.
e@. THE American Journal of 1ortcul.
,ure and Florists Companion, published at
Boston, by Tilton e. Co., is out for October.
This is decidedly the best agricultural, hor.
ticulturnl, and Florist journal published in
the United States. Two fine plants Of the
Wilder Strawberry and Colored Illustra-
ton are given to every subscriber on the re.
es;pt of t300 for The IcuuN. ...

Our FRIENDS will notice that no.with.
standing the unprecedented Democratic ma.
jority in Columbia and Montour Counties
for the general ticket, VIcToR 4. PIoLLEr,
our candidate for Congress, did "a little
better" Trifing as the difference is, it is
nevertheless tribute to known worth for
unexceptionable as all our candidates were,
PIoLLEr, situated as he geographically was.
in the very Egypt Of Radicalism, had our
rpecaI sympathy. He is the very vidette
Of Democracy, and is ever true.

Radicals who have control q! the Rrruhli-

will have no policy OF his oHD II that

all the powers of the Presidential Office, in.
Guiding those Of Commandor.in.Chief of
the Army and Navy, to carry out to IFS full
est extent whatever policy the Radicals may
dictate. No man can doubt that, and every
voter should 80 to the polls with full
understanding as to what will be the effect
Of the decision in which his ballot will have
as much weight as that Of any other man
in the nation.
The election ofScymour will be the begin.
ming OF a change Of policy. The Radicals
may still have large majority in Congress.
The dislranchisement Of the whites of the
South and their infamous gerymandering
Of Northern States may enable them to
maintain heir supremacy both in the Senate
and the House, but if Seymour is elected,
they will not dare TO violate the expressed
will Of the people by continuance Of their
unconstitutional anil revolutionary lerisla-
ton. The masses will have given utterance
to their desire. in such ,bape that their voice
will be heedtd. They vii, have declared in
favor OF certain great principles, and will
expect that respect will be paid to their de.
manis authori!a,ively made through the
ballot box.

Our County.

We call the attention Of Democrats thro'-
Gu, the State to Columbia County, the
STAR OF THE NORTH. She has given
a majority for BOYLE of I,9s3, nearly
equal to the whole Republican vote, and for
ENr majority Of S,I:c, erceeding the
whole Republican vote, in the county! And
all this after majoritics consecutively given
so enormous that increase was supposed to
be next to impossible. What adds to the
astonisllmcnt Of our Radical friends, is,
that for several years past they have had
the assistance Of most industrious local
press, and it is during these identical years
that our majority has doubled up. I, i.
obvious that newspapers, normal schools.
academies, and other like institutions, are
inimical to the Republican party.

Mr.. EDITOR: Several of your corrcspon-
dents, very oH and rrspcctnLie IN doul IT.,
seem to bu wonderfully exercised as TO the
origin Of our Plantation Btters. So long
as these Btter> are all that we represent
them to be, we do not know that it makes
any difference from whom they come, or
from whence they originated; but for the
information of the public generally. and old
Capt Wentz in particular, We will say that
he told the truth. ana that these Bitters
originated in the West India Islands that
many of the Ingredients have been favora-
by used for over a century, but our ronbi-
nation Of Calisaya is entirely new, and our
own. The rum and other materials are the
same, and as your correspondent says, II
better Bitters aud Tonic is not made We
recommend them particularly for dyspep.
tics, fever and ague, debility, loss Of appe-
titc, and in all eases where tonic and slim.

MEEcrR's majority in Bradford County
is 3,4Gl. This is the only county in the
Eve, composing the Congressional District
that gave him majority. In Columbia
County, Piollet's majority is 1896, and in
Montour he receives, over his abolition com.
pe,itor, 495; making in the two counties
2,49l. The official vote of Sullivan and
Wyoming counties are not yet received !:
but it is sufficient to say that Col. piollet i,
beaten, if reports may be correct, $50 votes.
We dof't doubt that he is defeated, but We
doubt that Mercur's majority is $50. The
people came very nearly doing what they
should have done--left Mercur at home!

THE FIRST HUMAN PHoroGHArH.- Some
forty years ago says the New York fDmn.r.
cini two men in France aud one IN England,
all unknown to each other, were very quietly
WORKING away where nobody could see or
hear them, each Que with transient gimpscs
heiore !tm O.: the same wonderful discovery.
lbi two Frcnchmen were Nierce and Dag

Nicpce died without finding the light he
sought, but Dagnerrc nevertheless pushed
on aloue, and in 1889 he made the announce.
nent Of the daguerrco,ype. Tablet reached
the same result in different way at almost
exactly the same timc. But Monsieur could
take pictures only Of things that couldn't
but keep still it took nearly half an hour
for him to make his pictures, and to be quiz

poor humanity could bear. lie couldn't

Europe gave it up. So America took it up
and did it. The universal philosopher Of
the New Yoik University, Professor John
W. Draper, began to think about the idea,
aud it was not long before he produced from
hi, den in "Chrysals College" q sun drawn
portrait of human face-of one Of the
members of his class, we think, which is
still extant. Europe was astonished ut the
good thing that had come out of Gotham
and Gotham very properly eloriied itself
in having taken the first human photograph.

Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1868-06-21

In our issue Of Friday We published on
what We deemed as reliable authority a re.
futation of the many wild rumors current
in the city in regard TO a difficulty having
occurred between some Marshall county
negroes and body of the Ku-Klux Klap.
We have since learned that our informant
misled us-no unusual circumstance in
newspaper life-and that there really ex-
listed some foundation for the report. The
expanded facts, somewhat condensed, are
about as follows: At Chapel Hill, in Mar
shall county, a difficulty arose from the
whipping of a negro by some disguised
persons, between a number OF armed ne
groes Of the vicinity, and a supposed party
OF the Ku-Klux Khan. The negroes left
their homes, under command OF one Doc
Garrett, negro, and came in the direction
OF Murfreesboro, where they raised a con-
siderable stir; but were finally disbanded
through the influence Of Mayor Jordan, of
that place, not, however, with the promise
OF "feasting and drink" as reported
Thus matters rested until the disbanded
negroes scattered over the country, and
four Of the stragglers were arrested and
taken to the Murfreesboro Jail. A requisi
hon was made for their possession by some
of the men from Marshall county; but, az
they had not the necessary legal authority
with them, the Sheriff at Murfreesboro re-
refused to deliver them up.

An Important SuggestiOn--A Factory
For the Poor.

To the Editors Of the Union and Dispatch.
Do you witness or hear of the suffering
that is existing in our city? There is
great restitution among the widows and or
phan children, made so, in many instances.
by the late war. The distress now exist
ing here is lamentable to think OF, and we
do not believe our well-to-do citizens know
of the suffering that has to be endured by
the poor, unemployed people in cur COM
munity. We believe you are alive to the
interests Of our people, and deplore any
suffering that may exist in our midst, and
as journalist you ought to lay before your
readers the condition of large portion of
our people, and implore the able to pre-
pare for them labor by which they can
earn their bread and meat. Think of it.
reader the little, half naked and three
fourths starved beggar, running round our
streets, may some day be your son-in-law
or daughter-in-laW. Some fools NAV grin
at this, but wiser heads will draw long
breath, and say, 81 wish l could help
them" 70 can help them, and without
injury to yourself, simply by every one
who thinks he has a soul, and is able, TAX
ing a few hundred dollars of stock in a
SOsAOti W NC CdilCu tL6 SOl-
ton Factory, and to be located as near the
center of the city as is practicable, so as to
give all a chance at work.
Try no experiments; have no favorites
for officers or clerks; employ wise, prn-
dent, steady men for managers, at low sal
aries. Let the object be in accordance with
the name of the factory, and our word for
it, the property helders in Nashville will
vote to exempt the factory and its business
from taxes for twenty years, and the Legis-
lature will do the same as soon as it meets.
We could go on and name advantages,
but believing the editors of our city papers
all have souls, and that they believe poor
people have souls as we'll as the rich, and
that the poor are needing employment
more than the rich do a park, hope they
will take up the subject, and invite every
body TO go to the Fourth National Bank
and to Judge Whitworth's back rooms and
subscribe their mite to the enterprise.
