We have been taught to consider it one of
the duties and objects of government to pro-

and insignificant as otherwise he may be,
stands forth as Il representative American cit

A New SwINDLE-A new swindle is said
to have been started in New York city, which
is well calculated to deceive persons living in
the country. A circular is sent out with
samples of prints, which are represented to
be manufactured at print works whose own
ers have an office in New York. Enclosed
in the circular are samples ofgoods, ofwhich
twelve yards will be sent on the receipt of
one dollar, Or ten yards for eighty-five cents.
A few days ago Postmaster Kelly received
a letter from lady, with an enclosure of
eighty-fve cents, asking him to send her ten
yards Of the goods ifthey were as represented
when it was found that the place was in charge
of boy, and that no business was transacted
there beyond receiving letters, which usual

NEGRO EQUALITY IN THE NoRTH.-We
have never doubted that fanatical radicalism
would 60 to the same extreme in the North
ern States it has done in the Southern, when
ever the power existed If negro equality is
right for ten States, why is it not equally so
for thirty Z? The Pittsburg Post, speaking on
the subject, very properly attributes all re-
straint to fear, and says;
"What hinders the Radicals id Congress
from thrusting negro equality upon lis in the
North precisely as they do with the aid of
the army i'll the South? Fear. Nothing
else. They encounter no danger at present,
in the South with the Southern whites dis
armed and military and negro power guided
by radical cunning, holding down and pre-
venting all attempts of white men to free
themselves from hated thralldom.
Give these radicals an inch they will take
an ell. Give them the apparent support of
Northern people in favor of their extreme
measures and they will do precisely the same
in the North as they are now doing in the
South. The remedy is in the hands of the
people of the North. Let our apprehension
of this vile unconstitutional tyranny go on as
it has commenced, and the cowardice of Rad
ical tyrants Will soon show itself, and the cure
for the present misrllle begin, and never cease
till Radicalism is buried"

CAS-" The newspapers are giving different
accounts of what the President intends to do,
and what he will not do, on the Impeachment
matter. Some say that he is to object to the
"jury"-a majority of them-as having form
ed and expressed an opinion against him
already and that he will object also to the
competency of the Senate to try him, ten OF
the States not being represented Others,
again, say he will resign. Others, still, that
he will meet the charges and stand his trial
upon the law and the evidence, confident that
they will not be able, with any show of JUS
tice, to condemn him. But these are all
mere conjectures. Nobody knows but him
self, and his counsel, and his intimate friends

HARD TnEs-As an evidence of the tight
ness of the times and number of men out of
employment in various sections of the coun-
try, the following item speaks volumes Last
week an iron firm in Cincinnati Ohio, adj
vertsed for four wofkmen in their line of
business. The applications numbered more
than five hundred before ten o'clock in the
morning, and the number increased to over
one thousand before the close of the day
After such occurrences as this need we be
told that the country is in flourishing con-
dition, and that plenty and prosperity smiles
upon all. Never was there greater need for
judgment and wisdom in the rulers of the
country, yet never was there greater lack
of those qualifications in ourpublic men as at
present.

STATE BoUNTIEs.-We notice from the

House has passed the two bills sent from the
Senate in relation to State bounties One of
these bills re-enacts, with certain amend
ments Zone of them exempting the bonds
from taxation,) the defence loan" which was
repealed in 1867. One motive for this action
is alleged TO bethe reimbursement to the State
treasury of nearly 100000, taken from it
to pay bounties. The other bill provides for
the payment, out of the fund thus raised, of
claims for bounty to persons enlisted in
1864 and 1865.

SPRING FLooDs.-The Harrisburg State
Gua,d accounts in the following manner for
the great freshetS, which have within the past
few years, characterized the Susquehanna
river. The immense pine forests of the
northeastern and central parts OF the State
are disappearing before the axe of the lum-
herman. Wherever these extended clearings
arc made, tributary streams have been deep
ened and widcned to enable contractors to
float their logs to market. The open country
thus exposed, is the region where immense
snow accumulates, so that at the first thaw
in the spring, the sun has a full influence in
reaching and melting the snow, which thus
produces sudden and destructive spring
floods. Heretofore the shade of the pine for
ests prevented sudden thaws. Large quaint
ties of snow were thus kept back-and hence
our floods passed off gradually. But within
the last few years the floods have been in
creasing in volume, as they will continue to
do, until as ne have already asserted, proper
ty in close proximity to the banks of the Sus-
9uehanna will be in constant danger.

but intensities the fury of the avenger when
his hour be come. What to-day may be an
orderly community, passivcly bearing WRONG,
and obedient to tyTanical laws, may, to-mor-
row, by the persistence of its enemies in such
wrong, becomes tumultuous army, the very
destruction of its oppressors. 1t is but hui
man nature, after all, to bear great evils, IA
thcr than to resort to violence for their abate
ment; but as it is "the last straw that breaks
the cameps back" so will cumulative wrongs
at last provoke vengeance.
Our ruiers-pGjurers, usurpus and ty-
rants, are building scaffolds, sharpening
swords, which msy soon, very soon, be used
in mcteing out justice TO themselves. They
boast of having made shroud for the Con-

Patriot Fathers, murdered by their hands;
but let them take heed, lest it prove the wind

even now apparent. Let traitors beware of

They may sncer at, and ridicule the muir
murs of the people; so did the bloody cut
throats, their prototypes, of the French Rev
