ga Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Pomeroy
left; the oity, to ELL engagements on
the stump in the interior, and has
played us nice trick. Finding a
returned soldier on the street, with
,, n old hand-organ, on which he pays
ten dollars year license, which
goes to the support of the bond
holders, he hired him to come to the
Office of the Democrat, and, from
o'clock till A every afternoon, play

hour after hour. The man won't
move, for he says Pomeroy hired
him by the week, The San folks
don't like it. d Passers-by wonder
why In thunder he don't change his
tune! One man, from Goshen,
Orange County, stood there an hour,
to-day, waiting to hear the next tune.
But no other tune comes out of the
horrid instrument. And there he
sits, grinding z

and the man IS still grinding

How long he is to grind at that

But it's funny idea, compelling us
to sit here hour after hour to listen

We tried to coax him to change

that Pomeroy hired him to grind it

back, we'll pay the bill and call it

TO THE PEOPLE OF TIE so U1zL

THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in it's former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the
'ow rate Of 81, so for six months.
The annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of it's issues and the mo-
nervousness of its results to that for the
very life of free government is on trial,
and it will be a sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, the jurors who are
to try the issue, pronounce q verdict of
self-condomnation. If the South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitality interested in
the progress of the battle, and cannot
afford to be without a sound and reliable
newspaper.
AS an organ, not only of sound Demo-
cratic principles, but as vehicle of ge-
neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A largo
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
filled with the contributions of able cor
respondents, the daily wealth of tele-
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuse the Northern mind
of the faisehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no more valuable aid to the true
reconstruction of the country and rcstora-
ton OF just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
sending it to acquaintance and friends in
the Northern States.
We ask the aid of such Of our political
comrades as shall zee this prospectus, in
the distribution Of the paper; especially
during the progress OF the impending
campaign.
The WEEKLY CLEANER is published
every Wednesday morning, and mailed to
single subscribers at $500 per aIum; Six
Months, s1.50; Three Months, 75c.; Single
Copies, 10c. Sample copies will be sent
on receipt Of address. Money for sub
scription should be sent in drafts or post
Office orders, but may be sent in regis
tered letter.
Write your address, post office, County
and State, plainly.

SPECIAL NOTICES.


BITTERS.-THE HUMAN STO-
MACH seems to require tonic stimulant
From time, whereof the memery of man
runneth not to the contrary, tonic bitters
have been used. Formerly, men made
their own hitters, and few thought of eat
ing breakfast without first taking their
'tansy." Those were days, however,
when prohibitory laws were unknown, and,
in consequence, liquors were pure. Deal
ers could then afford to be honest and sell
nothing but the unadultcrated. Now,
however, what with Government tax and
court fines, poke-berry juice and alcohol
must pass muster for "old rye" and "pure

THE REASON WHY-In Senator Doslit-
ties Valparaiso (Indiana) speech on negro
suffrage, we find the following:
"Tbree years ago this fall, when Gen.
Grant was in Wisconsin, he held the same
views which l now hold on this question,
and authorized me to state to the people Of
Wisconsin and to the Convention assembled
at Madison. that if Congress should insist
on negro suffrage us the basis of recon.
struction at the south, we should be
obliged to keep standing army there in
order to prevent a war of races.
General Grant, in report which he
made in December, 1865, said the condi-
tien of the South was so good, so quiet
SO fine feeling prevailing amongth peo'
pie of the South-that the army, with
very few exceptions, can be withdrawn.
But Congress insisted upon this new Rad
ical policy of forcing negro suffrage down
the throats of the white people, and there
fore the necessity of keeping the army at
the South. and keeping the Freedmen's
Bureau there to manipulate the negroes
and organize them as a Radical party"

How TO GET AN EDucATloN.-Boyss say
to men, "We want an education but we
are poor, and father is poor, and we don't
know how to get it /; so we are going to
learn trade, or 90 in store, or do some
thing else" Now let me say, every boy
that wants an education, if he will bend
his force to it, can get just as good one
as he wants. The way is open. Educa-
ton does not come through academies
colleges and seminaries these are helps
but it comes by study, and reading and
comparing, and all the schools and col
legcs aud Iseminaries in rho uIA,jd--;11s>e
and with them man will be one if he
never sees college. And what is true of
boys is true of girls, and what is true of
this pursuit is true of any other. The
force must be from yourself, and you must
develop it. 1t is that indomitable 81 cam
that sets man astride the world.

VorE.-An exchange says: Every
citizen, in a country like our own, has i'm
perative public duties, as well as private
ones to perform, and it is as reprehensible
for him to neglect the one us the other.
He can no more conscientiously overlook
his position in the community, than he
can his position in his domestic relations.
He is just as responsible for the success Of
vicious men and vicious principles if his
vote OF omission to vote has assisted to
place authority in bad hands, as he is re-
sponsible for the triumph Of mischief or
unscrup.lousness in the conduct of his
own family. 1t is not optional with him,
it is compulsory, to 80 TO the polls ard ex-
ercise the elective Franchise. 1t is quite
as much so as to settle dispute or to es-
tablish point of equity within the sphere
Of his home, or that of his social circle.
And, precisely as he would summon all
his information to settle that point in a
manner satisfactory to his sense of right,
is he bound to obtain all the necessary
knowledga and employ all his sagacity to
determine whom he should vote for in n
proper regard for the public welfare, at an
approaching election.

AN ITEM.-The .Ie,rish Sentinel, a news
paper published in the interest of the
Jews, at st. Louis, says that some people
were with Mr.. Lincoln soon after the ap-
pearance of Grants celebrated order
against "Jews and other vagabonds." The
Sentinel says:
One Of the St. Louisians expressed the
opinion that Grant had "made mistake'
in the order; instead of directing it against
the Jews as class, he ought to have di-
rected against malefactors of all kinds.
Mr.. Lincoln remarked that he "liked
Grant," for there was good deal of
humor in him, and drew forth and read
Grants letter in reply to the one Mr..
Lincoln had written to him, directing the
order to be rescinded. In this letter
Grant said:
''Mr. President, as you have directed
me, l will rescind the order ; but l wish
you to distinctly understand that these
people are the defendants of those who
crucified the Saviour; and, from the spec
linens | have here, the race has not i'm
proved"
This proves that Grant is proscriptive in
his religious notions,-so much so as to he

The sponge, according to some natural
lists, is neither animal nor vegetable, yet a
sort Of dovctailed specimen of both. 1t
grows at the bottom of the sea, clinging
fist to rocks until torn loose by the divers.
The sponges of the Mediterranean are
gathered by natives Of the Grecian Isles,
who are trained as divers. Very fine
sponees are taken from the coast of Syria
by divers who are very expert. According
to a nautical story teller, one of these
divers went down one morning into fifty
fathoms, stayed two weeks among the
mermaids, brought up one hundred pounds
of white sponge, and got back before
breakfast on the day he started.

Some weeks ago we wrote an article on
the recklcssness and extravagant financial
policy of Iowa radicalism, contrasting it

that Iowa was model State of Radical

that discretion was the better part of valor,
and that free discussion might elicit too

Radicalism. In repeating the uDtruthful
statement of the Register, that the State is
out of debt, which we have demonstrated
to be false, we give the Republican man
the credit Of being honest, and he is frank
enough to admit his error after receiving
information from head quarters. We
wish, however, that with his "retrax" he
had published the official statement of the
Auditor, which he received, showing the
precise amount Of outstanding bonds, and
what portion was due the school fund, and
under what law they were issued. He

Why can't you furnish us with some

We would like some light on that subject,

his explanation of it. We can fiEd plenty
of corruption, rascality and extravagance

A Proper Question.

- WV S$U0St1OA.
Why should not the bonds of the United
States be paid off in greenbacks? The
laboring man, who is paid off for his DAVIS
work in greenhacks very properly makes
this inquiry? Why should he be paid in
greenbacks and the bondholder in gold
worth forty cents on a dollar more ? Is
there any law making such an inequality
necessary? We have never been able to
find it, and we have never found the radi-
cal who could point it out to us. If there
be no such law, why should party make
a. platform with such plank in it, and all
their leading men step upon it? Is it not
because they are forgetful of the interests
of the laboring man, and are for filing the
Golfers of the rich. 1t is the same spirit
that would legislate for the rich manufac-
turers of the east, and against the farmers
of the west. Senator Grimes had the in
dependence to take bold stand against the
tariff swindle. Will he not take the same
stand against the bond iniquity? The
mass of the western people are for green
back ,ystem. They think. so long as they
pay the debts of the masses. they ought to-
pay the bond holders. This is Justice.
The law on its face says it is justice but
the bondholder claims that he was to be
paid in gold. This makes it right. The
people Of the west will be against them.
Rally around the flag of that party who
are for justice and equality in taxation
and payment of the debt in greenbacks.-
