"FAKEXG TIE OATYk.-

No one has yet forgotten sarcastic
witticisms of Artemas Ward, Orphe-
as C. Kerr, and other humorists of the
war, or the facility with which all
sorts of test Oaths were administered to
captured rebels and the fiippant con-
tempt with which they were after
wards violated. The easy nOnchal-
ance with which such Senators as Chan
dler, Cattell, and Ben Wade sauntered
up to the Chief Justice and took a sol
emn oath to decide impartialiy might
form companion pictures to those of
Artemas Ward, did not a feeling of
horror take the place ofamused indiffer-
ence, in contemplating the fearful con-
sequences of this Senatorial perjury.
There is nothing which so clearly
marks the depravity of an age or ma
tion as the contempt in which Is held
the sanctity Of an oath. Since the ac-
cessiOn of the Radicals TO power, and
their thousands of oaths for inspectors,
guagers, assessors, detectives; since
the perjuries of Baker, Conover, and
hosts of dilators, the virus starting in
the lowest strata of the party has ascen-
ded through all grades of official life,
until it has reached at last the highest
seats in the Senate.
To the Democratic party alone the
people can look for a restoration Of the
government to the pure condition OF
the past. The Democratic party is the
party Of law, order and religion; and
its career has been illustrated by the
best instances of purity and prObity in
official life. The reign of Radicalism
has produced lawlessness, violence, an
archy, military despotism, the silence
of the tribunes, decay in public morals,
and unbounded profigacy in political
life.

DEArH WON'T SAVE YoU.-It has
been decided that dying won't save
man or woman from the payment of
taxes. Assessors are instructed that
incomes of persoLs who died after the
3lst of December, are taxable, and
should be returned by executors, and
also all incomes which accrued in 1867,
to persons who died within that year.
Incomes accfuing after decease should
be returned by heirs. Thus it is seen
that the insatiate taX-gatherer follows
a man in his coffin, sits at the portals
of the tomb, plants himself by the side
of the grave digger, as he drops the
clOds upon the mortal remains, and
after dogging the carriages of the
mOurners, stalks home like a spectre,
and enters upon his books the expected
income the Treasury is to derive there
from. What blessing is public
debt

Know-Nothiugism Among the NeSr

Know -N0fhiHgism Among the Negroes.
A meeting of negroes was held in one
of the churches of Richmond during
the session Of the Radical State Con-
vention last week, and petition was
gotten up and forwarded to General
Schofeld, requesting him to stop the
further naturalization of foreigners in
Virginia. Is it not astonishing to see
how rapidly the poison Of Know-Noth
ingism has spread among the negroes? {?
They have scarcely been granted the
right of suffrage until they desire to
deprive foreign-born white citizens of
the privilege. That is the natural
effect of Radicalism. As a party it
conceals its hatred of foreigners for the
present, hut it rankless deep in the
heart of the organization, and crops
out constantly. The negroes of the
South have been imbued with it by
the Radical carpet-bag adventures
who have gone there from the North.
Let the Germans throughout the coun-
try be careful TO make IA note of the
action of these Virginia negroes. .-Ldp-
caster IntetiiQeRcer.

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make it a point to furnish his Re-
publican neighbOr 4 copy. This is
the plan upon which orr opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO WORK
and 0W yO}u' Democratic newspaper into
the hands Of ereIy Republican 'rb0 ciH
read. If you will do this you will
accomplish more good in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, 10 circulate DEM
Ocratic newspapers AT very small
cost. We appeal to them to see TO get
ting up clubs. and to see to it in time.
NOU is the time to SOW the seed. At
ter little while the heat of passion
and prejudice will beam upon the pub
lie mind in all its intense fierceness,
and then seed-time will have passed.

THE IMPEACHMENT FARCE.

At last the Impeachment trial is at
an end. The evidence and the speech
es are before the Senate. AS to the
former, it shows nothing concerning
the President, except that he desired
10 place in his cabinet an officer with
whom he could have confidential re-
laiions, in the room Of one who had
insulted and defed him, that he in
quired of General Emory what dispo-
sitiOn had been made of the troops
around Washington, and that he made
a couple of speeches, in reply to calls
from his fellow citizens, which speech
IS were not very complimentary of
the Rump Congress. This is the whole
case made out by the impeachers
against the President. Only this and
nothing more Is there anything in
it which makes Mr.. Johnson "worthy
of death or bonds ?" he people will
say NO! even though periured parti-
zan Senators should dare to say Yes.
If Andrew johnson is guilty of "high
crimes and misdemeanors," because
he attempted to remove an odiOus cab
met officer, or because he asked Gen.
Emory what disposition had been
made fthe troops about the -capitaTs
or because he made a political speech
in which he sharply criticised Congress,
then John Adams was guilty Of the
same "crimes and misdemeanors"
when he removed Mr.. Pickering, then
James Buchanan was similarly guilty
when he removed the rebel Floyd and
appointed the loyal Holt, then the
men who condemn Andrew Johnson
for merely exercising his constitutional
rights, as the occupant of the EXecu-
tive office, had better draw the bones
of Andrew Jackson from the grave
and hang them upon a gibbet, because
he, as President Of the United States,
seized the deposits in The United States
Bank in defiance of Congress as well
Of the decree of the Supreme Court.
They had better, too, 60 toSpringfield,
and like ghouls, as they are, dig up
the dust of Lincoln, in revenge upon
him for his repeated and undisputed
usurpations of power. Thecase against
the President is too bald and bare, too
fiimsy and transparent, too contempt
ible and ridiculous, to compare it with
anything Of Il similar character III all
the annals of State trials. His convic
ton upon such evidence, will inevita-
bly, return to plague those who con-
denim him, and will sink into certain
perdition the parry that attempts to
support it.-As tothe speeches, Buffers
was nothing but bIackguardisn, Bout
wells hiuStnr, Stevens rant and Bing
hams denunciatiOn. On the other
hand. it must be acknowledged, even
by The bittcrest of the peachers, that
the -peeches of GrOesbeck, Evarts and
Stanbery, are masterpieces Of logic and
legal learning. Thus stands Impeach-
ment. With neither evidence, nor
on theside of the Presidents
accusers; with the Constitution and
the Right, with Law and Logic, on the
side Of the President how can convic-
ton and removal receive the endorse
ment of the moral sentiment Of the
people? 1t is impossible! Impeach-
ment and impeachers will be consigned
to outer darkness, where there shall be
weeping and wailing and gnashing
of teeth -

MILKING Cows BY STEAM.-An eX-
change says 1.-THE funniest picture
we have seen for a long time, out of a
professedIy comic newspaper, is that in
the last number of the Scientific Ameri-
can, representing the operation of a
COW milking machine. The COWS stand
in a row attached to each teatis a tube
with close-ftting mouth, and all
these tubes communicate with pumps,
which are driven by steam or horse
power. The cows being thus properly
tapped, the pumps are set to work, and
the milk drawn from their udders neat
ly,eXpeditiously land with comfort tothe
animals. Indeed, the editor says, 'the
COWS soon learn to come to the ma
chine if fed or salted a few times while
being MIXED What next ?''
