Bogus Greenhacks and Bogus
Democracy.

A Washington dispatch asserts that
gentleman of Blair county, Pennsylvania,
has forwarded to Treasurer Spinner sam
pie of bogus greenbacks which the Demo
Gratis are circulating as an electioneering
dodge. The object was to ascertain wheth-
er it was not violation of the law estab-
fishing the national currency, and Mr..
Spinner referred the matter to Solicitor
Jordan, of the Treasury Department, who
is of the opinion that al! such limitations,
for whatever purpose issued, are clearly
violations of the law, and parties concern
ed in issuing or -raficking in them are Ii
able to fine and imprisonment Tor so do
ing. General Spinner has written reply
to the gentleman in BlaiT county, in which
he sets forth these facts, and eloquently
shows that if Seymour and Blair are cleo
ted these unauthorized emissions will un-
questionably supersede the genuine ma
tional currency, which will become value
less. The Blair county gentleman states
that large numbers of these limitations
have been in circulation in Western Penn
sylvania and adjoining States, aud that
many simple minded farmers have been
imposed upon and received them for mon
ey, being told by interested parties that
they were just as good as greeubacks
Geueral Spinner has also received infor.

been largely circulated through the South

Republicans!

Are you assessed ? If you arc not, be
sure to have your names on the assessment
rolls on or before next Saturday, Sd inst.
You must be assessed at least ten days be-
fore the election or you cannot vote, and
Saturday is the last day of grace. The
Importance of one cote is incalculable.-
The fate of elections has sometimes been
decided by one vote. See to it, therefore,
that erery Republican in the county is
assessed in time.

COnee Again.


We have been pursuing our investiga-
tions into the matter of the Democratic
coffee-colored naturalization paper frauds
of last year, and find that the subject is
not yet exhausted
William H. Swanzy, an inspector of the
Q867) election in Oliver township, Milf
fin county, testified before the investiga-
ting committee that one Henry Hixon
came to the polls, and, after swearing that
he was born in 1916, voted. Mrs. Bar
bara Hixon, mother of Henry, testified
that he was born in 1848, and was there
fore only 19 years old when he voted, and
produced the family record in substantial
ton of her sworn statement. She also
testified that Henry told her he voted the
Democratic ticket.
General John Ross, of McV eytown, who
is described in the testimony as a."leading
Democrat" is the man who is credited
with the feat of putting Hixon through
and polling this illegal vote.
This Ross was put on the stand. He
testified that he sent for one John Harcly
to vote; that he expected he would votl
Democratic; that he used to vote SO. Who
and what John Harclv is, is shown by the
testimony of DIR. Abram Rothrock cam
acquainted with John Harcly; have known
him for years he as idiotic has been SO
since [ have known him he is utterly
incompetent to attend to any business
whatever; is in charge of his parents; he
is feeble can Go no work unless directed
by some one cannot talk intelligently /;
his father told me he could do no work
was no account; | was member of the
board of enrolment; his name was taken
off the list on account of mental disa-
bility H'
Ross further testified that Harcly 'Fonly
uoted When the election acds close -
That Ross is ''leading Democrat" ap-
pears to US to be fully established by the
foregoing testimony. He leads minors
and idiots up to vote.
Republicans of Cambria county take
warning from this expose of Democratic
tactics at an election. Watch the 'lead-
ing Democrats" at the polls. The coming
election will be ''close" one here, and
the votes of minors and idiots, if allowed
to be cast, would count just as much in
their favor as the votes of legal and well
qualified electors.

In New York the conservative journals
are engaged in discussing the question
Ought Seymour to resign ?" 1t seems
to us to be u topic hardly worth debate.
Whether Mr.. Seymour resigns his nomi-
nation or is relieved of it by the people is
a matter of no practical moment Better
stick to naturalization and assessment
points, which do have a bearing on politics
aud government.

The Georgia Riot.

Democracy has allied itself to the rebel
element of the South, and naturally feels
sort of responsibility for the conduct of
its friends. But spite of all, they will be-
come obstreperous. Even the gallant (?)
Wade Hampton, after being allowed to
dictate what is, perhaps, the most signif-
cant passage in the Democratic platform,
could not rest until he had made the air
echo with his boasts of it. How cruel it
was i'll him to do so is we'll shown by Ho-
ratios doleful exclamation, ''You have lost
me quarter million votes in the North
my gallant friend And loss of even
half quarter million of votes means that
Horatio's prophecy, "Your President l
cannot be- is among the things foreor-
dained to become true. 1t is all in vain
that the Democratic presses keep from
their readers the speeches of their South
ern co-laborcrs Like murder, their doings
will out" The latest, and since the
New Orleans riot, the most terrible per-
formance of the unreconstructed, is the
riot at Camilla, in Georgia. 1t adds still
another task to the labors of those who are
still sweating over their efforts to apply
the rules of Democratic arithmetic to the
late elections so as to make their result

however, the difficulty lies in making
words appear what they are not
Is it not very significant fact that the
rebel clement of the Georgia Legislature
no sooner secures control of the State than
their friends begin the slaughter of Union
men ? Could argument be stronger to

The .wounfasi, Or Debt!

The highest mountain in the world is a
peak of the Hiwalaya Mountains in India,
which reaches the altitude of 2S,176 feet,
or little less than five and a half miles.
The public debt of the United States,
according to the official statement of the
Secretary of the Treasury, amounted, on the
first of the present month, to the sum of
81, 523, 534 ,4S0. Now let us, for illustration,
suppose this debt to be one dollar bills, and
piled up before us. Do you imagine 1t
would reach mountain high 2" Let us
see. 81
Allow one hundred notes to the inch, and
we have its height
M 10 be. -. /. 1926, 344 =. inches!
-a Or ..,... 2,102,9 feet j. ,r,
Or 1910, 700,9S1 -. yards
Or 1884 miles!!l!
Or, if the notes were of the denomination
of 800 each, instead of 81, we have pyra-
mid of money reaching about four miles
high. whilst the highest mountain peak in
North America Mount st. Elias, in Rus
sian America,) is but 1900 feet, or less
than 81 miles.
Still further: let us suppose the debt to
be in silver instead ofnotes, and estimating
SIG to the pound, we have a weight fdebt
amounting to just 157, 720, 9O5 pounds !---or
1857 car loads Cat 10000 pounds to the
carr, which would make train of cars SO
miles in length, allowing but 80 feet to
each carl!!
But let us illustrate little further, and
suppose it was necessary to take the silver
dollars from the mint, employing porters
for that purpose, requiring each man to
carry 40 pounds. In that case, it would
take about 100000 men, who standing
three feet apart, would make a line 1000
miles long; and marching at the rate OF
three miles an hour, it would take about
forty days for this debt-burdened army to
pass given point! And the task ofcount-
ing the debt in silver dollars would be one
of almost endless duration. Let us see: A
man, commencing August 1, 1868, and
working ten hours each day, and counting
$50 each minute, would accomplish thejob

But there are other illustrations of the
magnitude of this great national blessing y
which cannot fail to arrest the attention Of
farmers, to whom the following is adj
dressed: 31o] .Sl % 2 1lal--;is1
At So per bushel the public debt repre-
sents 1851, 707, 945 bushels ofwheat, OF 35,
S53,017 tons. To transport this amount in
two-horse wagons, almost one, ton each,
would require 35,s53,O17 wagons and 75,-
706,334 horses Give each team 80 feet
space, and you have a cavaicade which
would encirele the globe q 1lW
But we tire of these illustrations, as we
do of everything pertainingto Radical rule,
which, in brief period, has covered the
land with ruin, and crowned their work
with immortal infamy by a monument OF
debt, which, like the pyramids, is more
conspicuous from the desolation that. sur
rounds it.-Frankfort (Ky) Yeoman.

A REMARKABLE FAoT.-Not little re-
markable is it to observe that from the ac-
cession of Louis XIV. to the present time
not single king or governor of France
though none of them, with the exception of
Louis XVIII, have been childless-ha
been succeeded at his demise by his SON
Louis XIV survived his son, his grandson,
and several of his great-grand children,
and was succeeded by one of the younger
children of his grandson, the Duke or Bur
gundy. Louis XIV. left son behind him,
but that son persisted in the filthy dungeon
to which the cruelties of the terorists had
confined him. The King of Rome, to
whom Napoleon fondly hoped to bequeath
the boundless empire he had won, died a
colonel in the Austrian service. Louis
XVIII. was, as we have said, childless.-
The Duke de Berri fell by the hand of an
assassin in the lifetime Of Charles x, and
his son, the Duke de Bordeau, is in exile
from the land which his ancestors regard
ed as for their own estate. The oldest son
of Louis PHILIPPE persisted by an untimely
accident, and his grandson and heir does
not sit upon the throne of his grandfather.
Thus then, it appears that for upwards of
two hunnred years in no one of the dynas-
ties to which France has been subjected
has the son succeeded to the throne of his
father. Charleston Mercury. r..

Picture Of a RECONSTRUCTED
F @ State.

South Carolina is model reconstructed
State, with four score and two negroes in
one branch of the Legislature, and the
Charleston Nescs thus exposes it to thes skin /:
The carpet-bag government of South
Carolina is impecunious to degree 1t
has got neither money nor credit The RE-
construction Convention, by the aid of the
military power, seized upon the balance in
the treasury of the lawful government, and
converted it to the benefit ofthe usurpation.
But the extravaganza of the regime exhaus-
ted the small sum before the Legislature
convened, and the latter body has been
compelled to depend upon the credit of
the State and taxes -. ~. "a
1t was impracticable to collect taxes in
time to meet their expenses, and credit was
their only resource. They tried this in
every legitimate way, but failed. They
were reduced to moribund condition.
A number of the colored Legislators, it is
said, were compelled to give their services
as waiter at their boarding places, in order
to meet their bills They then resorted to
Buccaneering. They robbed the Bank of
the State. They finally descended to Leg
islativc prostitution. They offered to sac
rifce their collective virtue to the Chatham
Railroad Company for $125,000. They re-
ceived $4,000 ON account, and showed
signs of yielding, but the payment Of the
balance of the bride seemed doubtful, and
they kicked. A contemplate and ridicu.
ious spectacle they now present.. Eg na'a
1t is to maintain this condition ofthings
that taxpayers contribute $4,000 pei
day for a standing army. This is the kind
of "loyalty" the people are asked to endorse
and perpetuate Look at it! itoa
