Stop That Lying.

It is an old saying that a lie well
stuck to is as good as the truth The
Shield and other Democratic papers
throughout the District, seem to think
that the above adage is true, they con
tinue to parade in their columns the oft
refuted charge that General Beatty is a
banker, bank-oflieer, bank director, &c
That he is a partner of Jay Cook, John
sherman, and others, positive proof Of
the falsity Of such charges does not pre-
vent the piOus editor Of the Shield from
reiterating the falshood. The Democrats
Of this District are engaged in playing a
desperate game, and they recconcilesuch
white Democratic lies to their conscien-
cies upon the principle that the end JUS
titles the means, although the editor of
the Shield knows ful well that Colonel
Burns Democracy is questioned by ma
ny Democrats in Richland county, and
that the Shield and Col. Burns have
been politically opposed to each other
within the last few years, he now has
the modesty to insist that all Democrats
shall blindly support Col. Burns. Who
has changed Col. Burns, or the Demo-
cratic party ?-AIaHSieLd Herald.

The majority of the Impeachment
Committee very absolutely held in
their report against impeachment that
the President could only be impeached
for indictable Ofenses. After the mat
ter was all settled Judge Woodward, a
Democratic member from Pennsylvania
and who is one of the abIest lawyers in
the House, delivered an argument upon
this subject which knocks the report Of
the majority into the middle Of the next
century. He took it as a fixed principl e
Oflaw that's a President, may be impeach-
ed for ofenses ofa political nature, and
that this weapon Of impeachment would
be almost worthless in the hands of the
people as protection against a bad
President but for this fact After this
argument Johnson will do well to be
careful or it may be made available
against him. 1t viii not be safe for
him to violate any farther, directly or
indirectly, his sworn duty to execute
laws of the the land.

For about ten years prior to the pres
ent General Assembly of the State the
Republican party had a large majority
in both Houses Of that body. AT one
time there were but four Democrats in
the Senate and a like proportion in the
House. Yet during the whole of that
time the minority were never even re-
stricted, much less cut of entirely from
debate, by the previous question. But
the first time the Democracy regain the
ascendency they force through under
this gag law, cutting off debate, one of
the most important measures which
has agitated the people and which
deeply affects the interests of the whole
country. And this all in behalf of
Rebels who are struggling to regain
supremacy in the Southern States and
in the nation. The epeople Of the Eighth
District will have an opportunity to put
the seal of their condemnation on this
indecent and outrageous proceeding on
Monday next. Though Democracy
may gag their representatives the time
has gone by when it can gag The people,
and we hope they viii speak through
the ballot box next Monday in thunder
tones.

Let not single Union vote be lost.
Not one can be spared that will swell
the triumph which the whole country
expects the Republicans of the Eighth
District to achieve on Monday next.
Send a voice of stern rebuke to the
White House and of encouragement to
the Capitol, and let the struggling 10y
alists of the South hear your pledged
word that you will stand by them in
their efforts to establish aud maintain
through all time the supremacy of the
old Gag. Stand by Congress, stand for
loyalty, right and justice, stand by the
true men Of your country, North and
South, stand by those who have stood
for you through the thick darkness of
the war, stand by your gallant soldier
leader, General Beatty. Let every man
who desires the overthrow Of all the
elements hostile to the best Interests of
the country be at his place at the polls
on Monday next. This is not a time
when any patriot can be Indifferent as
to the result or when his duty can be
done without voting. Therefore vote
and see that your neighbor votes for
John Beatty.

The Democrats in the Legislature are
succeeding admirably in turning the
party inside out, so that the people can
see what may be expected ifthey should
get into full power. There are ndmber
Of students of lawful age at Delaware,
and these, as students generally do, vote
with the party of freedmOm and pro-
gress. Delaware is in the Eight District
where a special election for Congress-
man takes place on Monday. Therefore,
it was sought to rush bill through the
Legislature to prevent students from
voting. There was no quorum present,
however, the absent members being
slow in getting in from their homes so
the bill cannot be passed in time for the
special election. Now, the Union men
Of the Eight District are warned to look
out for frauds. These will be commit
ted by the desperate Democrats when
ever an opportunity is afforded. There
fore, guard well the baIIot-box.-CJn CJnci7s-

What the Rebels Expected-Lettel
from Gen. Meade.

The following letter from Gen. Meade
to Colonel J. w. Forney, published by
permission OF the author, is a curious
commentary yupon the lenity with which
rebels have been treated, as cOutrasted
with the severity which their cOnscien-
ces and their knowledge Of precedents
had led them to expect:
11O3 GIRARD STREET, PHILADELPHIA,
November %, 1867.
My DEAR Mr.. FORNEY Il do not re
member what I said to you in 1865, but
I do remem Der very well the impression
made on me by what I saw and heard
after Lees surrender-which was, that
the officers and men of Lees army were
surprised at the Hberality of the terms
accorded by Gen. Grant that they ap-
peared under the impression that, in
case Of surrender, their liberty would
be restrained, and perhaps the lives of
some of them forfeited. I am not pre-
pared to say this belief on their part re-
suited from their consciousness Of the
gravity of their offense, but more from
their aclSnOwledgmen Of the right and
power of the conquering party. Nor
can L give the name of any particular
rebel officer from whom / derived my
information it was rather the result OF
a general knowledge of what passed be-
tween the officers of Lees army and
ours. Ifthe foregoing is Of any impor-
tance, you can make such use Of it as
you deem proper
Yours truly,

SPECIAL MENTION.

''Early in the war, Col. Beatty parti-
cipated in the important military oper-
ations in Western Virginia, and was
present at Rich Mountains and Elk
Water. He bore an honorable part un-
der Gen. Mitchell, in the engagement
at Bridgeport, Tenn. He commanded
his regiment on the extreme right Of
McCOOk's Corps at the battle of Chap
lain Hills, and displayed eoolness and
courage in that exposed and fatal posi-
tion. At Stone River, Col. Beatty's
brigade was in reserve, and when the
right of our army was driven back, was
gaUantly led to the rescue; and through
such splendid fighting as it and others
did, the army was saved. On Jan. Sd,
Col. Beatty's brigade, under his skillful
management, assisted in stOrmiug the
enemy's rifle pits, and achieving the
success that 1edthe enemy to abandon

How to Push Trade-In the course
Of a trial at Westminster, England,
the other day, witness was asked
whether he had not assisted at fu-
neral where there was no body to
bury. On cross examination he ad-
mitted that he had helped a friend in
the funeral trade who, being anxious
to impress his neighborhood-a subur-
ban one-with the ability with which
he could conduct funeral, and also to
convey the idea that he had received a
good order, had a hearse and mourn
ing coaches, with twenty men, leave
his shop, and after an absence of some
hours return as if from the cemetery.

plausible counterfeit bank note, two
dollar National bill on the National
Union Bank at Kinderhook, n Y.
At a first glance this is one of the
most deceptive Of all the various
counterfeits Of our currency. On clo-
ser examination the words National

while in the vignette on the left hand
