Fact vs.. Fiction.

To the fact stated by Jshn 7. Hoffman
that the people are heavily taxed upon
their clothing and all their comforts,
the Troy Times responds with the fiction
that Congress has removed the tax from
manufae lures, with certain exceptions.
The fact, however, still remains. Con-
gress removed the tax from certain
manufactures, but not for the benefit of
the people. By means of the high tariff
upon foreign goods, the New England
manufacturer is enabled to maintain
his prices just the same rs before. He,
not the consumer, gets all the benefit of
the remitted tax. He has not reduced
his prices mill in consequence of the
tax remission. The farmer, the mechan-
ic, the laborer, when he purchases his
clothing this fall will find that there are
no benefits for him in the exemption of
fabrics from taxation. He will find
prices as high as ever. The proof of
the pudding is in the eating.

Registrntiou In Mineral.

One hundred and twenty-four voters
OF Mineral county have been summoned
by the Board of Registration to appear
and show cause why their names should
not be stricken from the lists. A gen.
eral fesling of indignation pervades
the county in consequence. The "loy-
al" organs will, Of course, attempt a
defence of this arbitrary proceeding
with the old cry that the
parties are to be disfranchised
for participation in rebellion. Let us
make short work fsuch stuff by stating
upon undoubted authority that q num-
ber Of these victims are honorably dis
charged Union soldiers, whsse right to
vote cannot lawfully be questioned.
Others have been voting fora long time
without question. Heretofore, howev-
er, they have voted the Radical tick
ct. They now propose to vste the
Democratic ticket, and although suffi-
GENTLY loyal" to support Radicalism,
are far too disloyal to Le allo wed to op-
pose it. This is but another illustra.
ton of the fact that the party in power
here is not furnishing treason to the
Government, but is simply disfranchis-
ing men for opposing its rule. ''Let n,

Thrilling Iucident in Missouri.

The most remarkable account of dev,
iltries committed by the Ku-Klux il
Missouri is the following from the Boon
Vile Eagle of the 5th instant:
1t can no longer be doubted that the
Ku-Klux are at work in Cooper county
The thing has been verified and estab-
lished beyond all cavil. A few days
since our county surveyor, with numer-
Gus assistants, was engaged in running
the line of some lands in the edge OF
Mouiteau township, and in approaching
a house sent man ahead with red
flag. The operations were anxiously
watched by an old gentleman and
several of the weaker sex from the
house.
Fear and dismay were on their coun-
tenances as they stood and gazed with
trembling on the movements of the
party. Tho hagman approached near
the house, paused, and waved his blood
red flag in many and mysterious ways.
The surveyor halted at the signal, plant
ed his instrument firmly on the ground,
and levelled it at the house. At this a
wild yell broke from the anxious and
terrified occupants of the house. The
flagman dropped his banner, and ran
with all his speed to see what was the
matter. As he rushed frantically into
the house the old man and the woman
fell on their knees and commenced beg
ging piteously for their lives.
The tlagman tried in vain to quiet
them, but they would not be quieted,
declaring "you cannot fool us; we've
heard of you Ku Kluxers." At length
the old man was made to see the matter
in the right light, but the females never
ceased their crying until the surveying
party was out of sight. The party pro.
ceed short distance, when the line ap.
preached another house. An old lady
was sitting by the door, with her hands
folded and look of resignation on heI
face. The fiagman came up within q
few feet Of the house, and wishing to
know whether he should go to the right
or left, called back to the surveyor
(Which way does she run 7" At this the
old lady broke forth: "Oh, Lord, can't
run at all. If you are going to kill me
you will have to do it right here, can't
escape" She was kindly informed that
no evil was intended her, when, with
all Innocence and amazement, she ask
ed: "Why, amt you Ku-Kluxers 7" She
was answered in the negative, when she
said: well, you look like you might be-
The rest Of the family were then called
from their hiding-places and Informed
that there was no cause for fear.

"s,aud by the Con.litution.v -

This should be the rallying cry of the
opponents of Radicalism. The Consti-
tuition is the sheet anchor of our liber-
tie., the only security we have for the
preservation of order, and of the rights
of property and of person. The Radi-
cal dogma, that the Constitution can be
set aside by Congressional enactment.
By the result of au election, by a noisy
outbreak of popular passion, or the fe-
verish unaHimity of designing dema-
gogues, or of an excited press, is q
crime against civil government, aud an
insult to liberty regulated by law. The
Constitution is the will of the people,
solemnly and formally expressed. 1t
stands as the bond of national life. 1t
cannot be touched save in the way itself
provides, without exposing us to the
horrors of anarchy and the insane fury
of contending factions. Let the men
who even hint at governing "eutside"

The Radical Financial nunehau.en..

Notwithstanding the official, sworn
statements Of the Treasury Department,
made in accordance with law, show
that the public debt has increased sl65,-
OOO, 900 since the close Of the war, has
increased si2,0O0,000 within the last
year, and has increased sl2 ,000, 900 dur
ing the last month, the Radicals parade
a Munchausen named Atkinson, of Bos-
ton, as authority to show that we have
reduced it over $500, ,000, 900 since Au
gust, 1865! That is at the rate Of
s266, ,OO0, 900 a year. II this be so-D
We are paying off our Indebtedness at
such rapid rate. why do the Radicals
propose to stop the liquidation by pass
ing a funding bill to put eff payment of
the debt now outstanding for forty years,
making it impossible to pay any portion
of it before the lapse of that period 7
If the Radicals do net falsify, they show
that the debt of S2,535 5,6l4,3l3 can be
paid in ten years. Why. then, SO fund
it that il cannot be paid for forty yearsi
The Radical Munchausens prove too
much. They have paid off altogether
too large an amount of the public debt,
on paper-so much, indeed, as to draw
the vitals ont of the pet scheme of the
bondholders, the forty years fundiag

nessrs. PauiI and Wilson

We have already made mention Of the
nomination of JAMES PAUL., ESQ., for
the position Of Judge of this Circuit
and of Hon. ANDREW WILSON for an
other term in the Senate from this Dis
trict. We believe the opinion is ger-
eral among all parties that stronger
nominations could not have been made.
The Pan Handle Sers Of last Friday, re-
terring to the probable nomination of
Mr.. PAUL., said:
A far as nominee for Judge is COR
eerned, we believe there is no differ
ence of opinion that We have heard. All
concur in looking to James PAUL., of

yer, of unblemished character, and q
gentleman in his conduct and bearing.
Concerning the Senatorial nomina-
tion, the Ne,cs said:
The candidate for Senator must come
from Ohio or Hancock counties. We
have as yet heard Of no candidate pro-
posed by Hancock, and think it likely
that the matter will be left to Ohio
county, as our people will cheerfully en-
dorse her selection. Captain Wilson
has proved an efficient Senator, and can
doubtless be re-nominated if he desires
the position.
The endorsement of these two gentle
men by the organ of the Brooke De-
mocracy shows that their popularity is
by no means limited to their own coun-
ty but that their merits are known and
abroad.

A Comparison.

Our Radical friends must de-
rive great comfort from COM
parison of tho Democratic meeting last
night with their own. They had great
ly the advantage in the way of general
notice and thorough preparation. They
made, indeed, considerable effort to
get up an imposing demonstration.
They failed, miserably and wretchedly.
A scanty, dreary, lifeless audience
greeted their distinguished General"
and his labored effort was proof of
nothing but hopeless vexation of soul.
On the other hand, word was received
here yesterday afternoon that Senator
DooLlTTl would speak for the people
at the Court House" last night. The no.
tice was short and could not, in the ma
ture of the case, be generally circulated.
Nevertheless, an audience from which
the WAsHBURNE gathering might have
been subtracted half a dozen times, still
leaving q respectable meeting, assem-
bled at the Court House and greeted
the Senator of the West with glorious
welcome. There was life and zeal and
earnest purpose in the Democratic mass
es last night, in comparison with which
the feeble muster at Washington Hall
sinks iuto insignificance.
What do these meetings meant They
indicate the waning power of Radical
ism, broken as it already is ia Ohio
county. Its decay is Fastening day by
day. The exertions of its supporters
are but the last agonies of the dying
varmnt. Their boast and brag of re-
viving strength remind one of the COM
forting reflection of MARRYATT's expir-
ing sea captain, who in the very article
of death swore that he "once knew a
man to live three weeks with the death
rattle in his throat" Gentlemen Rad
icals, your party is at its last gasp.
Your finishing struggles are highly en-
tertaining.

The Extra session-The Partisan-
ship aud Usurpations Of the Radical
Majority in Congress.

From Gov Seymours Letter OF Acceptance.
The Congressional party has not only
allied itself with military power, which
is to be brought to bear directly upon
the elections in masy of the States, out
holds itself in perpetual session with the
aro,ced purpose of making such tdrs az it
shall see ft in rie,c Of the elections ,chich
tciH taks place within a fer weeks. 1t did
not, therefore, adjourn, but took re-
cess to meet again if its partisan inter
ests shall demand its re-assembling.
Nerer before in the history Of our country
has Congress thus taken mCnGcing atti-
tude tOwdrds its electors. Under its in
tiuence some of the States, organized by
its agents, are preparing to deprive the
people of the right to vote for Presden-
tial electors, and the first bold steps are
taken TO destroy the rights Of suffrage.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.l
The fact that two partisan leaders,
one selected from each House of Con.
gress, can exercise the power of calling
that body together without exciting
any special comment from any portion
of the press, goes long way to show
how efectually the whole theory of our
gvvornnont may bo aaorotly Sub"ortod
by adroit and designing demagogues.
If the Constitution delegates any pow
er to the President of the United
States, it gives to him, and to him
alone, the power of convening Con.
gress, on extraordinary occasions"
and when the welfare of the country
may demand additional legislation. 1t
is not pretended that any public inter
est demands a meeting of Congress on
Monday next, but it is asst u d that the
presence of the Radicals n Washing
ton may intimidate the National Exec
utive, or that the Radicals may possibly
devise some plan of helping their party
on the eve of an election. The real
motives of the call are not even dis
guised, for it was publicly declared that
the exigencies of the Radical organiza-
would determine the question of Sep
tember session. Despite all the elbow
ing" over the Vermont and Maine cleo
tions, the Radicals in Was Iington do
not hope for Grants success unless they
can in some way throw the political
power of the Southern States in his in
terest.

Then and Now.

The Radicals, to say the least, are very
much like the cows and hogs that Mrs.
Toodles exults over as sleeping in
watch boxes and wheelbarrows, and
thereby, as she claims, proving their
usefulness. The male Toodles, it will
be remembered, retorts by say ing that
1t only proves the accommodating dis
position of the animals. How is it
with the Radicals J The question is
best answered by the following from the
New York Tribune, previous to Grants
nomination for President:
General Grant We esteem hy no means
as q great man, ner even very great
General. We want a statesman; we want
Mr.. Chief Justice Chase. The Repub-
lican party contains no purer, no VOL
thier, no more gifted man. In what
respect does General Grant surpass Mr..
Chasei "Is he better Republican 7"
we ask General Grant. No reply. If
we want then to talk about horses and
tobacco, we may find him the most val
liable of men. Not one word upon
the question that backs the
heart of the country! "Take me
if you will as Ulysses S. Grant,
General, and when l am President, l
shall do as please" Perhaps We must
take him, but we do not feel like cheer
ing over it; certainly not 80 long as
great statesmen remain in our ranks.
"Give us Grant because we can elect
him." Again that cowardly argument.

full leader into an uncertain
battle for unknown principles
1t would thus appear that the Radi-
calls, with Grant as their leader, are
very much like the cows and hogs OF
Toodles, who slept in watchboxes and
fed cut of wheelbarrows, to prove their
smiable dispositions in accommodating
themselves to circumstances.

Lincoin's Views.

Let the negro-suffrage and negro
equality Radical party hear what Abra-
ham Lincoln says on the fayorite points
of their political creed:
Twill say then, that l am not, nor
ever have been, in favor of bringing
about, in any way, the social and politi-
cal equality of the white and black race
that am not, nor ever have been, in
favor of making roters or jurors of
negroes, nor of qualifying them TO hold
Office; nor to intermarry with white
people; and will say in addition to
this, that there is a physical difference
bet,ceen the nite and black races, which
l believe will forever forbid the TWO
RACES living together on terms of sociai
and political equality. And, inasmuch
as they cannot so live, while they do
remain together there must be the posi-
ton Of superior and inferior, and /, as
much as any other man, am in favor of
having the superior position assigned TO
the white race.
In another speech, Mr.. Lincoln said:
II have no purpose to introduce po-
ltical or social equality between the
white and black races. There is ply
sical difference between the two, which,
in my judgment, will probably forever
forbid their living together upon the
footing of perfect equality; and mas
much as it becomes necessity that there
must be difference, | am in favor of
the race to which L belong haring the Supe-
rior position" ...-
These were the utterances of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and are living and abiding
in the same vigor as when he uttered
them. They were never altered or mod
itied by him. The Radicals claim, not
withstanding this physical difference,
and Notwithstanding the difference in
race noticed by Mr.. Lincoln, both po-
litical and social equality for the negros
everywhere-heuce their clamor for uni
versal suffrage, and legislation for
equality in public conveyances, hotels,
theatres, &c. Not only so, but they as
sign them superior position, as of the
superior race in the South, by comforting
the right of suffrage on them and dis
franchising the whites. Mr.. Lincoln
said, II am in faror Of the race to rhich l
belong haring the superior position"
White men, ponder well these things
before you vote to perpetuate negro
equality or superiority, by voting for
fanatical, radical black Republican can
didates for Congress or the State Legis-

A Negro Fiend First Attempts TO
Ravish n White Girl and then Muir
der. Hcr-He is Caught and Hanged

II.
A most atrocious murder was com
mitted on Friday, at Ponds store, on
the Manchester road, about twenty
five miles from the city. Mr.. Hide
brandt, who keeps the Pond store, is
strong believer in the doctrines Of negro
suffrage and negro equality, and in
order to put these themes into practical
execution, employed negro named
Jordan to do the work around the farm.
To oblterate all lines of distinction, he
permitted the negro to eat at the same
table and fraternize with the family.
Among the members of the household
was q maid, Miss Amelia Drienhofer.
Jordan, presuming upon the liberty
permitted him, and believing that
equality meant right to do every and
anything his more bestial nature might
suggest, on Saturday morning fol-
lowed the young woman into the wash
house and made an indecent proposal to
her, which she Indignantly refused, or
dering him out of the building. Not
content with the rebuff, he attempted
to carry out his design by force. She
resisted and drove him out, locking the
door upon him. As he left the room he
declared he would kill her. Deeming
this but an idle threat, she paid no fur
ther attention to it; but in a few mo-
ments she was borrifed by seeing him
at the kitchen window with gun in
his hand, which he Immediately dis
charged. The bullet entered her back
and passed through the bowels. He
Immediately dropped the gun and start
ed for the woods. He was arrested,
aBd on preliminary examination was
held to answer, and was sent to Glencoe
Station to be conveyed to the Jail in this
county. The excitement around the
depot was intense, and fearing violence,
the negro was returned to Ponds store
for safe keeping. In the afternoon the
crowd broke in and seized Jordan,
whom they conveyed to clump OF
trees, where they hung him without
further parley.
