a party of WOrkmen soldiers fashioned
the White-heated rails into the two let

exclamation, the earth was eXcaVatad

with many a strap and spike, were fas-

Tune Changed.

When the success or failure of the ef-
forts of the Government to maintain its
existence, rested on the willingness OF
the people to provide it money, and
bonded promises to pay, 1t was deemed
evidence of the highest patriotism for s
citizen to merit the title Of bOndhold-
er. The strongest appeals to the sense
Of duty, to patriotism, to love of coun-
try, were made day amer day and
month after month, by Government
officers and agents, by public speakers,
by the press, by the pulpit, by patriot
men of both parties, to induce loyal
citizens to give their hard-earned mon
ey to the cause of the Union. Demo-
cratic journals except of the most treas
enable type, Joined in urging all who
had money, to lend it to the Govern
ment, and to become public creditors
by accepting, in exchange for cash, the
Governments bonds, or prOmissory
notes.
Thousands of men among whom were
many Of small means, loaned the Gov
eminent all they could spare, trusting
to its honesty and honor to return the
pledges it made, on the return Of peace.
We are able from personal knowledge
to declare that thousands of our citizens
from sense ofpatriotic duty, purehas-
ed this loan, when on the same day Of
the purchase they were offered higher
LHEGG VI ALlLdE65E gl1alA lAlG Lf4N CA4ALAAGAAA
promises to pay. For purchasing Gov
ernmen6 bonds in large amounts, cap-
italists were respected, praised and hon
Ored for the much needed aid and noble
services they were rendering the nation
in its dire extremity.
But the Government having weather.
ed the storm, there is all at once a
change of tune. 1t remained for VoOr-
hees, Vallandigham and Pendleton,
and the Democratic press generally to
discover that the men who held the
public securities did not have in their
possession the evidences of a service
niable proofs, rather that they were
scoundrels. Into these "scoundrelly
bOndholders, the late patriotic lenders
of money have been suddenly trans
formed.
That there should be found in mans
possession evidences that he had ever
responded to the Nations appeal for
help, is now deemed disgraceful. Such
a man should feel thankful to get for
his claims even printed slips of paper
containing promises to pay him sOme-
thing at some time or other. In short,
he should be grateful for greenbacAs,
that is, for "lampblack and rags" as
these gentlemen used to say.
The truth is, hostility to this large
class Of security holders is owing to the
fact that they, no less than the army,
were guilty of the crime of breaking
down the Shareholders rebellion. To
have destroyed slavery, to have prOvi-
ded the means by which alone the
Union was preserved, this will damn
them to all eternity in the estimation
of Davis, BreckinEdge, Vallandigham
and orhees.-COJltH1b1t Journal.

DiaboIical.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing from Lexington
Ky, under date of January 1, says:
The Freedmen's Bureau has received
information of a most diabolicaI out
rage perpetrated on the colored citizens
Of Breckinridge County. A clever col
Ored man has, it appears, been teaching
a school at Hardinsburg, and q few
evenings ago his school being about to
close its session he concluded to give an
exhibition and show the fond parents
what wonderful things their little wool
ly headed offspring could do. Having
more sense than the majority of white
country school teachers, he made the
performance very short, and adjourned
the audience at half past 10 O'clock
The parents were Well-pleased, and
proudly carried their little folks home
never dreaming of the terrible danger
they had been exposed to. Scarcely
had they reached their homes when @
terrific explosion was heard and an i1n-
mense cloud of smoke was seen to rise
in the direction of the school house.
ION hurrying back the building was
found to have been blown up, and was
a complete wreck. The desk had been
hurled through the roof part of which
had been torn Off, and the rafLers scat
tered about. Nearly the whole of the
floor had been ripped up, and the
benches broken and splintered. Under
the desk hole was found, in which
keg containing some twenty five lbs.
of powder had been buried. 1t is be-
Iieved that it was the intention of the
f1end or fiends who made the mine, to
blow up the building while the exhibi-
ton was in progress. AS the negroes
generally keep up their meeting until
late hour, it was thought that the exhi-
bition would continue until half past
IL o'clock, and many are of the opinion
that slow match had been applied to
the mine and was burning while the
children were reciting, and the audience
looking on, unconscious Of any danger
near them. These are the facts as we
get them from two thoroughly reliable
Sources. The official report Of the af-
fair has not yet been received, and it is
hoped it will mitigate the horrible fea-
lures of this most diabolical outrage
upon a defenceless people.

solomon's Temple Exhumed.


The London Times publishes an in
/ teresting letter in regard to the discov-
1 cries at Jerusalem, from which we Sc
lect the following: t'The colossal fOUn-
datiOns of the temple wall, which Ere
stones of ten cubits and stones Of eight
cuibts, laid by Solomon or his success
ors on the throne, are now being lad
bare at the enormous depth Of ninety
feet and more beneath the present sur
face. The bridge that once spanned the
raVine between the palace of Zion and
the temple on BIOriah is now proved to
have been upward of $50 feet high. If
this be, as 1t seems, the ascent to the
House of the Lord which Solomon
showed to the Queen Of Sheba, we can
not wonder that on seeing it there was
no spirit in her. The pinnacle of the
temple on which the tempter placed the
Savior has Just been uncovered to the
base, and is found still to have an eleya-
ton of 136 feet. The Statement Of jose
phus is therefore no eXaggeration. If
any one looked from the battlements
into the valley he would be giddy,
while his sight could not reach to such
an immense depth.
Sections of abe ancient wall of Ophel
have been exhumed, showing that, as
JOsephus says, it was Joined to the
southeast angle of the Temple. Aque-
ducts. cisteruS, rOck-heWn channels and
passages have also been discovered
within and around the haren1, throwing
new light on the buildings, the arrange
ments, and the services of the Temple.
The great work of a complete explOra-
tion Of'ancient Jerusalem is thus fairly
and auspiciOusIy commenced. The OPP
perfume visit of the Sultan and Grand
Vizier to this country and the represen-
tations made to the latter by the Arch
bishop of York, followed up as they
have been by the energy, the wisdom
and tact Of Lieutenant Warren and his
admirable staff, have smoothed down
Moslem prejudice, removed local OppO-
sitiOn, and thus brought about oppor-
tunities for excavation and exploration
such as never occurred before and be-
sides, large numbers of Arab laborerB
have been trained to the work, and are
eager to be employed; and the exact
points for successful exploration are
now well known"
