WE We're witness to a"moving sccne'
last week. Daniel Bauman having
purchased one of the old buildings on
Main Street, near Esq. Chemberlin's,
attempted to move it to Third Street.
After much labor and frequent mishaps
it was moved to within few yards Of
its destination, when an unfortunate
lurch tumbled it over, and completed
the destruction, which age, rats, and
ill-usage had begun. The occasion fur
nished employment to number of
able-bodied men, besides giving the
boys amusement, and iderS II chance
to tell how much better they could do
it. Upon the whole, twas refreShiHg

OUR many readers will learn with
regret of the sudden death of Edward
MHenry, one of the pioneer settlers Of
Columbia county, and for over half II
century Il leading surveyor In it. On
last Friday he attended the election at
Orangeville, and late at night started
for home, in company with Silas Ap-
pleman. The latter left him at the
bridge over Green Creek, near Nance's,
from which point the road ascends the
hill along steep bluff. The old man,
not reaching home the following day,
his family became alarmed, and sent to
Orangeville for information. Learning
that he had left town the night before,
they looked at the bottom of the ledge
below Bowman's mill, where he was
found dead among the bushes, one arm
clasping them, and the other on his
breast. A severe confusion was found
on his temple, which, undoubtedly
caused his death. Sc, at least, the in
quest found. lie leaves n large family
and numerous circle of friends.

Some Queries.

Last spring some gentleman living in a
"truly rural" quarter ofthis county wrote to
Hon. B. G. Cook to know if it was really true
that Gen. Grant got drunk. Mr.. Cook IN re-
ply asseverated that 'no man enjoyed better
opportunities Of knowing whether Gen. Grant
is duty drunk or not, and he was fully salts
llied If these cruel copperhead charges were
true he would know it. 81 urge you, there
FORE" he concludes "to denounce as false all
such charges" That is, Mr.. Cook has not the
face hlmselt to say that Grant don't get drunk,
but he urges his friend to say so. But how
can his rural friend, who seems to be an hon
est, conscientious sort of man, tell fibs at
the bidding of Mr.. Cook, with a statement
like the following staring him in the face
made by Wendell Philips, in reference to
Gen. Grant:
"He was drunk in the pubic streets of Wash
| ington since the list day of January. This is
| fact as patent as the sun at MONDAY none
but those too dishonest to be trusted with
public journals (bats passing themselves off
Tor owls deny it. He is West Point grad.
uate, with his sympathes all in the wrong di-
| rection.n
Apr0pos of the above, we notice the Dan
vile Qu.) Times resolves to strike the name of
the republican candidate for Attorney Gen
| eral from his ticket because he drinks, assert
ING that he will "not knowingly vote for any
man for any officer who drinks intoxicating
fluids" Yet the Times supports Grant.

Julius Avery, ESQ,

Our candidate for State Senator is doing
yeoman service in the Democratic cause. We
have the following report of him in Woodford
county, where he addressed an immense dem
ocratic meeting on the 23d ult. The Sentinel
says of Mr.. A.:
In the evening Julius Avery, Esq., candidate
for State Senator, addressed large and enthus-
astic meeting at the Court House His remarks
were listened to with great attention, and when
he touched upon the financial question it was
easy to soc that the radicals present were becom-
ing uneasy, especially when the speaker produc-
ed and read the letter of the late Thaddeus
Stevens, touching the $50 bond question. This
is pill the radical party cannot swallow. Mr.
Avery lisa good speaker, and has no rival as an
expounder of law. Always working for the best
interests Of the laboring man, having the cour-
age to take the stump and proclaim the enor.
nous frauds and corruptions Of the radical par
ty, in congress and out Of it, we have no fear
Of tho result in November as to his election
He is our candidate for State Senator from this
district, and wo urge it upon every lover of his
country to support him.

The Camilla Riot.

The radicals of the north have for som,
time been Impressed that nothing but big
riot at the south and the butchery of few
hundred negroes can save the party from de
feat in November. To provoke some such
devilsh carnival seems to be the special labor
Of the carpet-bagger fraternity at present in
reconstructiondom. But somehow the s'red
handed" whites won't 60 into the st. Domingo
business worth cuss. They remain stolidly
and most unaccommodatingly peaceful. The
riot business seems to be left wholly to the
'loyal man and brother" himself.
There was shout, however, a week ago, by
the radical press, over genuine anti-negro
riot at Camilla, Georgia. "These negroes" SO
ran the dispatch, duly manipulated by "loyal
hands, were ''shot down by the whites while
On their way to a public meeting at Camilla"
Later and more authentic reports, however,
place the matter in its correct light, and show
that this again was purely family squabble
among the radicals themselves. These are
the facts, as shown by the report Of the agent
oi VIC IIcCulllcU y DuItdu III lilhl AOCtIilN
Under the reconstruction government in
Georgia-all in truly loyal hands--a law
was passed forbidding armed assemblages of
the people; and three months ago procla-
nation was issued by the "loyal" Governor
Bullock, calling special attention to this law
and announcing his purpose to have it rigid
ly enforced. Well, the negroes and carpet
baggers advertised that they would, on a day
named, hold 4 grand powow at Camilla, Ga.
On the day appointed, between 800 and 400
negroes" says the bureau agent, led by a
couple Of mean white carpct-baggers, al arm
ed to the teeth, approached the town in mill
tary order. The Sheriff of the county,
q very loyal appointee of the military
power, went out to meet the procession, and
explaining to them the law and reading to
them the loyal Governors proclamation, used
all his arts of persuasion 10 induce the negroes
to lay aside their arms before entering the
town. The sheriff was accompanied by half
a dozen Of well armed white men. The ne
groes treated his pleadings with contempt,
and on the Sheriff threatening to secure obcdi-
ence by force, himself and his posse were fired
into. They returned the fire. three negroes
were killed, and half a dozen wounded The
negroes then took to their heels, led by the
mean whites, who escaped unhurt. This was
all there was of the riot. The meeting, We
believe, was subsequently, held without distur-
bance.

SENATOR HAHLAN.-What they say Of him
in his own stats. Nothing like true piety to
help man along in this troubled world:
Twelve years ago, and Senator Harlan was a
Methodist preacher upon a beggarly salary He
united his political destiny with the party of
great moral ideas and soon obtained promotion.
From poverty, and we might almost say beggary,
he has risen in wealth. until now he sport. two
princely mansions-ons in Mt. Pleasant and the
other in Washington city, while he is estimated
TO be worth half million Of dollars OF course,
Row. Harlan don't steal any portion Of this
money, but sared 100000 ont of his senatorial
salary. Twelve years as senator-part of the
time at ~, 900 and part of the time 40 $1,000 a
year, would aggregate about $4,000 which,
multiplied by ten, would make 100000 His
piety and coascientiousness would not permit
him TO steal with the same lax hand as his rad
ical cotemporaries, which accounts for his COM
parative poverty. If he hadn't been pious
statesman he might now be in comfortable cir
cumstances.-Booas County Democrat.

week later, the democrats, at a weeks notice,

Mileage,

Hon. B. c. Cook grows quite facctious in an
article which he has had inserted in the last OF
tawa Republican in reply to a squib in the last
FREE TRADER intmating that the object of
the late adjourned meeting of Congress was
simply to enable the members to make an OK
ira grab on the treasury for mileage. Mr. Cook
thinks that can't be so, firstly, in hi. own case
because he didn't attend the session nor
secondly, in the case OF any other member,
because under special act of Congress, the
members were not allowed to draw mileage
for attending that session. That then probab-
ly accounts for Dir. Cooks non attendance, in
spite OF the urgent protestation of AR. Schenck
that meeting was necessary. But about this
mileage. We remember several cases where
the members of Congress, with similar for
bearance, had agreed not to ask mileage for
attending an extra session, yet subsequently
voted themselves the mileage in some 'detici-
ency" or civil" appropriation bill. On Mt
least two occasions, within the reign OF the
"party of great moral ideas Congress was
convened lmmedlately on It's adjournment by
proclamation of the President, and the memb-
ers voted themselves constructive mileage"
for going home and back, when not mothers
son of them had been out of the city IF it is
really true, then, as Mr.. Cook asserts, that for
the CLOCKS" of the thing, the present Congress
did pass a special bill not to claim mileage for
attendance at the late extra session, that,
judging by previous experience, is by no means
an assurance that the bill will not be repealed
on the first meeting of Congress after the cleo
ton. And we may certainly be excused for
not prcsuming such law to be in existence,
never having, in watching the proceedings of
Congress, noticed its passage, knowing SO well
the former grasping disposition OF our exceed
ingly "loyal" Congress in this mileage business.
