The CnnInnk.

A Mass Meeting of the Democrats oi
Hancock county was held at New Cum
berlanA on Friday, August nth. II
was largely attended by men of botf
parties; the crowd exceeded in size any
similar gathering held in the county
since the commencement of the war.
The speakers were r. NJ. GIBSON, ot
Pittsburgh, and HENRY. S. WALKER, o
Wheeling. The political field was fully
cauvassed, and it is believed with goot
results.
Another meeting, addressed by the
same speakers, was held ut Freeman''
Landing, Hancock county, on Friday
evening. As at New Cumberland
the attendance of both parties
was very large. Republicans Turned
out who had not listened tc
a Democratic speech for years, ant
several openly rcnounced their connec
tion with the Radical party. A mos
remarkable change is going on i'll Han
cock; prominent Republicans in almost
every neighborhood are declaring IL
favor of SEYMOUR and BLAIR and the
whole Democratic ticket. The county
may be safely set down as Democratic
by handsome majority.
A Marion county correspondent writes
us that on Saturday, Sth inst, fin'
Democratic meeting and pole-raisinG
was held at Rivesville, in that county
A procession was formed. headed by
twenty-six yoke of oxen hauling thu
pole; following were over three hun
dred persons on horseback, together
with number Of persons in wagons
carriages and on foot; the entire pro
eession was over one mile in length
Everything passed off quietly and th'
effect was most happy.

Radical Phraso Book.

To advocate the repeal Of the recon.
struction acts is to Surrender the re-
suits of the war" To desire the re-
moval of the Freedmah's Bureau, is to
''sap the foundations of the republic"
To deny the equality" of that part
of the Chicago platform, which declares
that the negro is good enough to vote,
serve on juries, pass laws and hold
office in the Southern States, and that
he is not good enough to do anything
of the sort in the North, is "a
rebellious attempt to restore slavery
and reopen the African trade.'
To refuse to admit carpet-baggers
and scalawags to the society of
ladies and gentlemen, is "rebel ruff
fianism." To question the financial
honesty of the Radicals, is "repudia-
tion," and to express determination
to vote for SEYMOUR and BLAIR, is "a
renewal of the war"

Greeubnck Republicans.

GREELEY is wbirling the party whip
about the ears Of all Republicans who
would like to believe that the Chicago
platform means greenbacks for bonds
In his estimation q greenback Republi.
can is about on par with greyback
rebel. Here is what he says upon the
subject:
There may be an honest man who
believes that the Five-Twenty bonds
may lawfully, if not honestly, be paid
off in sreenbacks. We rejoice that no
such man has a right to put his hands
into our pockets. Our estimate of his
integrity was forcibly indicated by the
Colored American who, being asked to
give ON oath his opinion of the hoHesty
of party to the case on trial, respond
ed-"Well, sar, if / was chicken, and
L saw that gentleman around, should
roost pretty high" We trust no one
will again ask in what currency we con-
slider the Five-Twenty bonds payable"

A Grant aud Colfnx Ratification
Meeting in Michigan

A horrible outrage was perpetrated at
the toll gate house between Royal Oak
and Birmingham, on the Pontiac road,
OH Sunday night. The house was occu-
pied by family named Pullen. The
only male member of the household,
William Pullcn, went away from home a
short time since, leaving his mother, an
aged lady, and his wife and sister at
home About eight o'clock on Sunday
evening two ci2namon cOlored negroes
called at the house and asked for a
drink, which Miss Lorinda Pullen pro-
cured for them. They withdrew reluc-
family, and as they went seemed to cX-
anime the door and observe the windows
very closely. At half-past ten the fam
lily were startled by heavy rap on the
door, and one of the women, on looking
out of the window, recognized the two
negroes who had been there for wa
ter in the early part of the evening
They were very much alarmed, aud the
old lady and Mrs. William Pullen went
up stairs for safety. Miss Lorinda tried
to induce them to remain and defend
themselves with an axe and a hatchet,
the only weapons of defence i'm the
house. The negroes were at this time
| irving to effect All entrance at one OF
the windows, and Miss Pullen proposed
that her sister.in.law and herself sta
ton themselves on either side of the
window and as the negroes entered
deal them blows with the axe and hatch
ct, but before she could overcome the
fears of her timid comrades the scoun-
drels effected an entrance to the room,
and seiziug hold of Miss Pullen demand.
ed all the money they had in the house,
She told them she hadn't much, and
begged them to spare her life. She went
to the drawer where the gate money
was kept and gave them the contents
about sixteen dollars. They were not
satisfied with this; they must have
more money, they said, or they would
kill all in the house. Miss Pullen then
produced two five dollar notes, which
she also gave them, and they then went
up stairs and seizing Mrs. William Prl
len subjected her to the most wantor
outrage. She finally escaped from their
grasp aud succeeded in getting out o.
the house. She ran with all speed tC
the nearest neighbor, whom she aroused
and with several Others returned to the
toll house. The negroes became alarm
ed after she got out Of the house anC
fed.
We cannot learn that any efficient
steps for their capture have been taken
in fact but little was known regarding
the affair by our police authorities til
last evening, when some oHe from TIT
nsighborheod reported the affair to al
officer. 1t seems strange that the OF
ficers, if there are any in the vicinity
should let two days pass without som
active efforts at securing the perpetra
tors ofso gross an outrage.-Detro't Ere

Radical Piunderers.

Not long ago Mr.. w. j. Marker, OF
Washington, published pamphlet ex.
posing the extravaganza of the Radical
Rump in what are conveniently called
1.-THE contingent expenses OF the House
of Representatives" These contingent
expenses cover the compensation OF
clerks, messengers, and others employed
in the House; the expenses of summon
ing witnesses to testify before various
special committees; hack hire; use OF
parlers in hotels in all the leading
cities in the Union; travelling expenses
of the Sergeant-at-Arms, and the paper,
gold pens, penknives, pantaloons, and
other perquisites which are vaguely
summed up as Stationery" Mr.. Man
ker says in the predatory paragraph
to bis pamphlet that he ''has been a
Republican from the organization of
the party in 1854" that he received an
appointment in the doorkeeper's de-
partment in the House of Representa-
tives through the influence of Repub-
lican member, and continued in his po-
sition till July /, 1868, when he resign
ed. These statements are to show that
he has had opportunities to know some
thing of the expenditures and extrava-
gances he exposes, and that his publi-
cation is not biased by party prejudice.
He says that he attempted to secure the
attention of members to the shameful
abuses and general squandering, but to
no purpose, and that he "inally be-
came satisfied that this scandalous
waste of money would never be stopped,
or honestly inquired into, while the
present party was in power" So he
printed his pamphlet in which he makes
the following statement: ~

House of Representatives for the Years

This shows an enormous increase, the
expenses of 1868 more than doubling
those of 1864. The details exhibit an
extraordinary expenditure for particu-
lar items, which should at least be eX-
plaincd. For instance: For the second
session of the Fortieth Congress the
whole amount of Stationery" would
equal an allowance of $500 to each
member; there were S50S6 worth of
pens for the House; the penknives
amounted to $500, equal to fifteen
knives at $25 50 for each member. No
one supposes that members used, or
even received, all these articles which
the people pay for. The bills of the
Sergeant-at-Arms amount to thousands
upon thousands of dollars; he charges
for 20S ,403 miles of trave ell for himself and
witnesses; the scandalous details of the
investigation of the New Orleans riots
show that nearly $4,000 were expend-
ed, mainly to pay the board, washing,
and travelling expenses of the carpet
bagging beggars who pretended to be
witnesses" These are but items in
the mass of swindles which Mr.. Marker

worth while to investigate the matter
of its own extravaganza, and commit
tee was appointed, July 10, to inquire
into the disbursement of the contingent
fund fer the years 1867 and 1868. This
committee has made report which ex-
plains, denies, attributes increased ex-
pcascs to extra sessions and, white
washes generally. The report has been
printed, but no further action has been
taken; only Mr.. III. McCulloch, of
the committee, makes n minority
report showing that funds have
been improperly or illegally disbursed,
and declaring that the committee is not
a proper committee to investigate such
charges. 1T is like" says Mr.. McCul-
loch, "a member charged with corrup-
ton or fraud asking for committee to
investigate that charge and being APP
pointed its chairman to report on his
own case" Yet the party in power,
which has plundered the people of $780,
100000 year during the past three
years, is now patching up its accounts
for campaign purposes, and by its own
showing the people cannot continue
that party in power, simply because
they cannot afford it. Radicalism mast
go next November. 1t is "loil," "mor-
AL" and all that, but it costs the cOun-
try too much money.-UOrld.
