holder gets the interest on his bond in gold
Hon. Edward Mcpherson, Clerk of the
House of Representatives, has taken the
trouble to examine the record to ascertain
by whose votes in Congress the policy ol
paying the interest in gold was established
The result of his examination he gives in
the Gettysburg Star and Sentinel, as fol
lows:
February 6, 1869, the House of Represen,
tatives, at Washington, passed bill author,
izing Sl50,000,000 of Treasury notes, and
making them illegal tender" for all debt,
and demands due to tie United States for ell

and for all debts, public and pricate, acHhh,

90, nays 50. But sic Democrats voted aye
the rest nay. Had the bill became law in
that shape, there would hare been but one
currency for all.
The bill went to the Senate, where it was
amended so as to make these notes legal
tender for all demands due to and from the
United States, "ercept for interest upon bonds
and notes ,chich shall be pail IN COIN"
February 20, the House voted on concur
ring in this amendment making interest pay,

49, nays 55. But two Democrats voted
nay, Joseph Bailey, of Pennsylvania, and
Thomas f. Noell of Missouri, both of whom

The Pennsylvania Democrats who so voted

DEMOCRATS SHOULD VOTE
FOR GRANT. 4

The Pittsburg Post md The New
York World, both Leading Dem

Iess---They say he is Able. Dis
Greet and Worthy of the support
of the People--,rhe Duty of Dem
Ocrats.
From tho Pittsburg Post, Leading Democratic
Paper, Of June 2S 1867. e.. .y
THE DUTY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN A
CERTAIN EVENT.
Suppose that contrary to the wish Of
some of the leading Radical Black Repub.
lcans, who want the Office themselves, Gen
eral Grant should be nominated for the
Presidency by the Republican party, what
course ought the Democratic party to pur-
sue Ought we to nominate man in op.
position to General Grant, Ought we to
charge him with being on enemy to his
country, or in favor of unjust measures,
merely because he may have received said
nominations
We are inclined to believe that more de.
pends upon General Grant now, than upon
any other individual in the United States.
We believe him to be far Superior TO the
majority of the far sighted politicians who
have been ruling the nation without bring
He is known to all the people as A
STRAIGHTFORWARD MAN, and so far
as can be judged man well disposed to
deal fairly with the people of all sections of
the Union. Certainly if such man were
nominated by the Democratic party, we
would advocate mis- election in the hope
that his election would conduce to the pub
lie. The question is, then, if he is nomina-
ted by the Republican party, whether we
shall as party oppose his election
In the first place, if the people generally
believe Gen. Grant to be the man we think
he is, no individua! in the United States
could command corporal's guard of votes
against him-ON ANY PLEA WHAT
EVER. In the second place, il would be
unjust and very injurious action for our
Democratic leaders TO attempt to place the
Democratic party in false position before
the world representing them as enemies or
opponents of Gen. Grant.
What better thing can we do in case of
General Grants nomination by the Republi-
can party than to VOTE FOR HIM FOR
THE PRESIDENCY Our aim should be
to strengthen his hands; to render Tim as
much as possible independent of party and
and to ELECT HIM AS PRESIDENT OF
THE PEOPLE. If unanimously, so much
the better
We solemnly believe that if the people
Generally of the United States can come to-
gether with real unanimity on General Grant,
in regard 10 the Presidency, il will be the
happiest thing for our country that could
possibly occur. The future good effects OF
this course are almost incalculabe We
earnestly ask our Democratic friends every.
where to consider this subject carefully.
From the New York World
AS Washington was elected and re elected
on the strength of his character and services
without pledges asked or given, we trust
that General Grant will be elected, if at all
in the same way and with the same generous
confidence, Having restored the authority
of the Government, we hope that he may
add the highest civic to the highest military
fame by restoring long lost cordiality o.

Mr.. Pierce the Republican candi date for
Congress- and Mr.. Murphy, au ex- bureau
agent, with about three hundred negroes
armed and equipped, started on Friday for
Camilla, with three weeks rations, and boxes
of new arms and accoutrements, their inten-
tion being, it is said to overawe the citizens
and kill the leading Democrats of the town
and vicinity.
Before they started a friendly negro ex-
posed their plans, and negro courier was
dispatched to Camilla to inform the citizens
of what was going on. A deputgtion of
three prominent citizens met the mob at
Clusia Church, five miles from the town.
The Governors proclamation disarming
and forbidding armed organizations was
read. The mob, paid no attention, and de-
tcrmined to march on the town and kill such

every one they could see. The citizens, white
and colored, rallied, gathering about fifty
stand OF arms. The mob was vigorously
attacked and driven back, beating a hasty
retreat, which spread into panic. The
negroes were pursued Eve miles, losing thir-
ty-tive killed and many more wounded, the
total loss, as far as ascertained, being from
seventy five to one hundred in killed and
wounded. Owing to the panic among the
mob only FIVE whites were severely wounded.

In defeating the mob, whose stores and
munitions were captured. At last reports
