SECRET ORGANIzATIoNs.-The Radicals
shrink from public scrutiny. Having ruined
the country, impoverished the people, and
resolved TO revolutioniZe the Government BY
usurpation of power, they dare not expose
their doings to the public gaze. They choose
darkness rather than light, because their
deeds are evil. They meet in secret cons
clave to plot treason, to concoct plans for
the overthrow of constitutional liberty and
republican government, and to secure poY-
er by improper means. There can be no
other object in secresy. When a political
party resorts to such measures to prevent the
community at large from knowing its objects
and purposes, it stands convicted of treach-
cry to the people. Why disguise their acts
if they are good Why keep the people in
Ignorance if they are their friends The
old Know Nothing leaven is at work among
the destructives, and they hope by proscrip-
tion and secresy to accomplish what they
know would be impossible if the people un-
derstood their designs. The organizations
known as the Grand Army of the Republic
and Freedoms Defenders, bode no good to
the republic. These secret cOnclaves mean
slavery to the masses. They have been
brought into existence for no other purpose
than to force radical measures upon the peo-
pie against their will. They pretend to ad.
here to the forms of law, but it is upon the
principle of "heads win, tails you lose'
If they can carry the elections and are allow
cd 20 have their own way, they will be content;
but, if the people repudiate them, they in>
tend to force their measures through at the
point of the bayonet That is the meaning
OF the Grand Army Of the republic. Under
such circumstances, the duty of all the con-
servative elements of the country is plain.
They must come together and act in concert
for the salvation of the country and the press
ervation Of their liberties. They should or
ganize themselves into clubs in every neigh.
borhood and prepare for the great struggle
to take place next Fall. Their only safety
is in overwhelming the plotters for their
destruction.-S. F. Independent

A DEAD BODY FoUND.-About week
ago, while "Dutch Johnny" who brings fish
and game into this market, was fishing along
Porters creek, four miles above Horse Shoe
Bend, on Brownlee's trail from Placerville
to the Payette, he found the body of man
underneath a shelving rock, little way
back from the water The body had evil
IDENTIFY been placed there. On the body
were pair of blue overalls and a coarse
woolen shirt, and pair of stout boots. A
blanket was wrapped around the body, fas>
tened by rope around the neck, and again
by another bit of rope about the trunk, and
the blanket was drawn up so as to conceal
the head. On uuwinding this, it was dis.
covered that the skull had been broken Just
at the top of the forehead, the bridge of the
nose broken, and wound, from knife most
likely, penetrated the neck from near the
iugular all the way through. The deceased
was about five feet eight inches stature, of
sandy complexion and sandy hair, with
small bald place on the front part of the
head, and it is thought he must have been
about 35 years of age. Johnny called on
persons living about there for aid on discov-
ering the body, and after a partial search
for means by which to identify the body,
and to ascertain information respecting the
deceased, but without avail, the remains
were given respectable burial The impres.
sion among those who assisted in the search
and burial was that the body had been there
for FIVE or six months. The only thing near
by was frying pan, which had probably
belonged to the deceased. The Eeighbors
in that section tell of bay pony with a
white streak in the face which had roamcd
around there like an estray from late last
Fall until few weeks ago, when it got
caught in the ice in the creek and perish
ed. 1t is conjectured that the pony belonged
to the deceased, and further that the deceas.
ed was camping near the spot where the
body was found, on his waa perhaps from
the mines, with money on his person, and
was surprised and murdered, and his effects
stolen by his murdorer.-Ldaho World.

NJ. p.vmen, or the Debt in creenbacks.

The Payment Of the DeDt IN Oreehpacks'
The question of paying the national debt
in legal tenders is looming prominently be-
fore the public. The radicals, as a general
thing, denouuce the proposition, and are in
favor of keeping up, at the expense of the
government, the present national bank sys-
tenn. Their policy is, as it ever has been,
to favor the capitalists at the cost of the
workingman. They would not pay the debt
until the bondholder could receive all in gold,
or in other words, till the country would be
compelled to pay from three to four hundred
per cent. more than it received. Like Shy.
lock they must have their pound of flesh
though the government bleed to death. The
radicals shout about "repudiation," "faith
Of the government" and numerous other
stereotyped phrases, in which no argument
can be found. We will endeavor to prove
to the candid reader that the paying of the
national debt in 'greenbacks is not repudi-
alton, nor does it affect the faith of the gov>
srnmont The people begin to see that un-
less this debt is paid in legal tenders, the
day for the resume of specie payments is
placed at a period that it will take years to
reach The resumption of specie payments
with this heavy deb; resting upon the coun-
try, will at once be source of great evil,
which will cause our government to totter
in the balance. A convulsion in mercantile
circles far more terrible than the one of '37
will be the result. ) What is meant by pay
ing the debt in "green backs" is to keep in
circulation as much of this currency as the
country can stand, and not to contract the
present amount until all or nearly all the
debt has been liquidated. What injustice
is there in this? Every bondholder would be
paid double the sum he gave for his bonds.
The country would be prosperous, with an
abundant circulation. Withdraw all the mas
tonal bank currency, issne IN their stead
three hundred millions of legal tender notes ;
with these notes let the government buy up
and cancel that amount of interest bearing
notes. With the debt thus reduced, and
the process of payment going on, taxation
might be lightened, and speedy resume
of specie payment could be made with safety
to to the country. During this time legal
tenders will have reached a gold valuation.
If this be reputation, it is what will
eventually be the policy of the government
as expressed by the will the people.
