Many small bands of insurgents are
operating near Cinovillas. Their num-
bers are increasing in the vicinity of
Santiago, and it is supposed they are
going to Cinovillas, where they will
mass their forces. This movement, it
is thought, explains the recent disap-
pearance Of the rebels from the juris-
dietion of Juagar.

AMONG the appointments made by
President Grant, aud confirmed by the
Senate, is that of one Pinchbeck, a
Louisiana negro, as Land Register for
that State. This negro. on the Sd of
September, 1868, in the Senate Cham
Der of that State, rose to question of
privilege, and delivered himself as fol-
lows:
II want to tell them tthe whites) to
beUare. | want to tell them that they
have nearly reached the end of their
string. The next outrage of the kind
which they commit viii be the signal
for the dawn Of retribution "a retribu-
ton of which they have ret dreamed !;
signal that will cause ten thousand
torches to be applied to this city, for
patience will then have ceased to be a
virtue, and this city will be reduced to
ashes"
What the outrage complained of re-
ally was we do not now remember, but
suppose that they the whitesl preferred
men of their own color to legislate for
them, instead of lazy, ignorant, and
indolent negroes. Sunday Mercury.

less than nine pews from the different
denominations in New York city for

occupy them regularly, free of charge.
This is certainly praiseworthy, and it is
to be hoped that others who employ a
large number of people, will follow the
example. The above fact, accompa-
MED with the belief that a firm who
would look so closely after the welfare
and morals of their employees, would
not undertake to impose upon the pub

IT Will be remembered that the
proposed fifteenth amendment, as it
passed the House of Representatives,
allowed the negroes the privilege of
holding Office as well as of voting, and
that the Senate altered the resolution to
its present shape, which does not con-
fer this honor upon the negro. This,
as a matter of course, is not by any
means consistent, nor is it at all COM
plimentary to the negroes. If the ne
groes have the right to vote, they have
the right to hold office. If they are fit
for the one they are fit for the other.
But it is not a question of ftness-but
Of right, according to human and di-
vine law-and so the democracy under
stand it, and so they wish TO treat it.
But President Grant seems TO take
quite different view Of the situation.
He is not inclined to await the adop-
ton Of the fifteenth amendment guar
anteeing suffrage to the negro, but he
goes a step further ard places him in
Office at once-having appointed two
negroes as Justices Of the Peace in the
district Of Columbia, another as Post
master of Columbia, South Carolina,
and another as register of the Land
Office at New Orleans. '-Put none but

CLEAN UP.-Duriug the winter sea-
son there invariably collects around
the premises of even the most particu
lar housekeepers lot Of rubbish and
garbage, which, with the approach Of
spring, should be at once removed
Aside frOnI the mere measure of clean
illness, this matter should receive atten-
tion more particularly as a matter OF
health, for there is no better fact estab
lished than that filth and dirt arounf
Il dwelling is one Of the most frequena
causes of sickness and disease. There
are persons, however, who, nOtWith-
standing they feel this to be true, yet
through carelessness or some other feel
ing allow filth ofall kinds TO accumu-
late around their premises, and never
think of removing it until they are 50
compelled, either by the complaints of
their neighbors, who are sufferers, or by
the enforcement of those laws relative
to the matter, which have been enact
ed by the authorities Of every proper
ly governed municipality. We trust
therefore, that our people will kindly
accept the invitation of the borough
authorities, and carry out the sugges-
tions made, by each one sweeping
clean before his own door"

TIE OID SoNG. During the last
twelve years the raqairer has annually
sung the self-same song ofabuse Of the
Democratic county officials, SO that
with the return of spring we expect it
just as surely rs we do The hoarsc notes
OF tie rest Of the erQaker family. OF
course this eroaking never amounts TO
anything, because the people know
that it is only the whine of a beggar
who wants the crumbs that falI,from the
tables of office. Last week the Z1qut,'
er. with its usual pious cant, complain
ed of the County Commissioners be-
cause of the Poor House muddle,a y as
it styles the building of the new Poor
House. Now, the least the Inquirer
saws about the Poor House matter the
better for its party. It's own poiiti-
cal friends have had quite as much to
do with it, as anybody else. We do
not understand why the Inquirer talks
so much about this Poor House busi-
ness, unless lis editor means to dam
age MIR. LoNGENECKER's chance for
reelection. For ifthere is any ''mud-
dle'' about the Poor House now, DIR.
LoNGENEcKER and Mr.. STUTZsIAN and
a Republican Legislature are to blame,
and not the County Commissioners.
The act just passed by the Legislature
authorizes and directs the building of
the Poor House upon the site seIec-
ted by the architect, DIR. Haviland, and
makes theGommissioners smereagents to
execute the vii: of the Legislature.
If therefore, the Liquire' man de-
sires to defeat Mr.. Longenecker, let him
keep on growing.
