llThat,a the waE bic Money Goes! p

"Brick Pomeroy, ,, in bis peculiarly forcible
style, furnishes the following stone from the
Radical corner:
Itonly cost nineteen thousand four hundred
and seyenty-o one dollars, per bills rendered, to
fit the TdUdpoosG out for the little Presi>
dental pleasure trip to Long Branch.
There were new carIets for the rooms, new
dishes, new mirrors, wife, provisions, servants
and their living-repairs, Goals, and other
incidentals with the cost of running.
Long live Grant, the Emperor Ye gods!-
But can't he spend money and put on style
Who owns all these things?
Who pays all these little bills2
The bondhoIders?
Oh, no-they are ttio nice
They sit in the shade at Long Branch and
enjoy themselves They hurrah for Grant,
and drink wine with money stolen from the
people.
a Republican form of Government
Retrenchnent and Reform
The hundred million dollars stolen by aid
of Legislation from the people to enrich the
thousand dollars year stolen by Grant.
"God bless our noble President y
When Henry j. Raymond died Grant was
invited to the funeral.
Raymond helped 10 make Grant President.
But Grant had an engagement TO see the
pretty legs of the ballet dancers at Niblo's-
though it would not look well to go to a
funeral and theatre the same hour, so he sent
his regrets to the funeral, and squinted through
gold trimmed opera glass at the flesh colored
tights, and the padded calves which so de-
lighted him. Meanwhile-all the Christians
who don't like theaters and theatre goers-
let us pray!
You tanners, who scrape hides, dabble in
hemlock water. and prepare hides for wear,
may work laway-Grant aud the bondlolders
will spend your money.
You farmers who sweat and swelter in the
heat of harvest-field may work away-the tax
collector will be round in little while for
money to pay for Grants excursion, and the
support of bondholders.
You pute, noble, honest, virtuous wives
and widows who work from month to month
helping the husband to educate your chill
dren, may keep at it, you, too, must pay taxes
for Grant and the bondholders, who use your
hard earned money to purchase diamonds,
Grecian bends, cosmetics, and elegant wrought
jewelry for their mistresses.
''That's the way the money goes, Pop goes
the weazel ~
Republicans and Democrats-all must pay.
And if you can't stand it, we can.

Brick Pomeroy calls for another I'm
parchment Trial.

One of the first duties of the House of
Representatives upon its assembling in De-
cember next, should be the drawing up of
charges against Ulysses Simpson Grant,
President ofthe United States, and the ar
raigniDg him before the bar of the Senate
upon a trial of impeachment.
1t is their duty to do this, and if they fail
the curses of the American people will be
upon them.
Let them arraign Grant under the Consti-
tuition of the United States upon charges Of
Bribery in Office.
Inability to do its duties
For violation of his oath.
For leaving the Executive Office in the
hands of clerks.
For not calling the Vice President to per-
form the duties during his absence.
For not faithfully executing the law.
And finally, for various high crimes and
misdemeanors, all of which were fully detailed
in the leading Radical newspapers of the day.
The proofs are sufficient.
The country demands it.
The great loyal party ''that brought the
Union so safely through so much danger"
demands it
1t must be done. Because, if it is not done,
when the time for another election rolls around,
the Democracy, with one accord, will charge
the imbecility of Grants administration di>
rectly upon the Radical party.
Hence the Radical PARTY must do this in
self-defeuce.-NeU Pork Democrat

National Politics.

A few days ago, the Hon. Geo. Fl. PEN
ileton, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio, was waited upon by number
Of his political admirers, to whom he made
the following speech -
stI cannot agree with Governor Hayes that
the vexed questions of national politics ara
wisely and happily settled; that the great
questions of liberty and Union have been
solved, and the reconstruction of the Union
made safe. / cannot agree with him that re-
trenchment, economy and honesty have been
introduced into the management of the Fed
eral expenditure; that the debt has been de-
creased and is decreasing, as he states it; that
the burdens of taxation have been reduced
and their weight upon the people fghtened;
that sound judgment and freedom from bad
influences have been brought to the exercise
of the immense power of the Secretary of the
Treasury; that business is active /; that enter
prise is active that vigor, energy and indus
try are bountifully rewarded; that employ
ment is abundant; that daily toll - fairly
compensated that commerce on the ocean
and on the land is prosperous; and there's
fore, cannot serenely, as does our worthy
Governor turn my face from all questions of
Federal politics and look only at State affairs.
l cannot say the Union is restored, when Vir-
ginia, Mississippi aud Texas are under milita>
~ government, and Georgia without repre-
sentation in Congress; that the Union Is re-
stored, when Justice is administered by a
drum>head court>martial that the COnstitu>
ton is maintained, when we know that the
Supreme Court is only waiting the Opportuni-
~ to declare the reconstruction acts uucOn-
stitutional. / oppose the adoption OF the Eff
teenth Amendment, because it is material,
radical change in our system of Government
1t DESTROYS the relation of the States to the
Federal Union which the Constitution estab-
lished, and degrades them /; takes away from
the States. without their consent, that essen
tial attribute of self.governing community.
Two years ago the people of Ohio, without
distinction of party, by an immense minority,
refused to amend the State Constitution. /
| see no reason to believe that they have changed
their opinion. object to the adoption, be-
cause by the strongest implication it confers
upon Congress a right reserved to the States
to exclude from the ballot persons of our own
white race because of their nativity, creed,
want of education or property and prohibits
the exclusion only of another race. If the
| Interpretation of Senator Morton and Senator
| Howard be correct under this amendment
Congress and the States may exclude Irish>
men, Germans, Catholics, Protestants, or the
| poor man from the enjoyment of suffrage, but
not the negro or Monaghan. | object to its
adoption because it is part and parcel of a
scheme to flood the country With forced i'm
portation of an immense, humber of Chinese
! coolies, and to bring info our alien races a
more difficult form of the social and govern
mental questions that have so unhappiy di>
vided our people"

Obituary.
WILLIAM PITT FEssENDEN, UNITED STATES
SENATOR.

Mr.. Fessenden was son of Hon. Samuel
Fessenden. and was born, October 16, 1906,
at Boscawen, Merrimac county, New Hamp-
shire. He graduated at Bowdoin College, in
1928 studied law, and was admitted to the
bar in 1927; opened an Office at Bridgeton,
Cumberland county, Maine, where he practced
for two years, when he removed to Portland
Mr. Fessenden was elected to the Legislature
in 1881, and, although the youngest member
of that body, he rose at once to distinction
both as a legislator and a debater. From
1882 to 1889 Mr.. Fessenden devoted himself
exclusively to his profession, in which he very
soon rose to the first rank, both as a counsellor
and advocate. In 1889 he was the second
time chosen to represent Portland in the Leg
islature In 1910 he was elected to Congress,
where he participated in the current debates
with honor. He declined the denomination
which was rendered him in 1913, returning
to his profession. In 1856 he was again
in the State Legislature, but declined to serve
after that time. He was defeated for member
of Congress in 1850. In 1854 he was again
in the Legislature, by which body he was
chosen United States Senator, and in 1859 he
was reelected for six years, during which
term he was appointed by Mr.. Lincoln, as
successor to Chase. Secretary of the Treasury,
to accept which Office he resigned his Senator
ship, and Mr. Farrell was appointed to succeed
him for the unexpired term. In 1865 he
was again elected TO the Senate, where he
distinguished himself by voting for the ac-
quittal of President johnson in the impeach-
ment trial, in the face of the threats and blan-
dishments of his party, which failed to move
him in the slightest from what he regarded as
the path of duty.
Mr.. Fessenden was sixty-three years of age,
of commanding personal appearance, and was
always considered one of the fnest>looking
mer in the Senate. His unspottcd purity of
character gave him great weight in the delibe
rations of the Senate, and his abilities made
him one of the leaders of his party.

VALLEY ITEMS,

From our Valley exchanges we cory the
following items:-
Report says the old Valley Star at Lex
ington is to be revived.
DR.. George NJ King of Waynesboro,
died on Friday week, from the effects of an
:dose of audanum.
- The Journal, radical paper published
in Winchester for more than four years, is
dead. The presses, type, fixtures. g.. were
purchased by Mr.. N. B. Meade, for 81 900
cash.
On Monday last, as Colonel f. J. Arm,
strong was returning home to Bridgewater,
in this county, somewhere between Harrison
burg and Dayton, his horse fell with him,
fracturing Colonel Armstrong; leg below the
knee and otherwise injuring him. We are
very sorry to hear of this misfortune Detailing
Colonel Armstrong, and hope his injuries are
not of character to permanently disable him.
HarriS0mJwy Commonwealth.
- Robert Hicks, young man residing
near Nineveh, in Frederick county met with
n very serious accident few days since whilst
working at a threshing machine. He was
driving the machine at the time, and Upon cut
ting the horses they gave the machine sudden
jerk, when he slipped and his foot getting
caught in the gearing was severely crushed.
AT first it was thought that amputation would
be necessary; but fortunately the fears of his
friends were not realized, and the young man
is doing well.
The Alexandria, toudoun and lamp
shire railroad company has again sent the two
engineering parties employed by it into the
field, this time for the purpose of ascertaining
the grades of the line of the proposed extern
sion of that road to the Ohio river. One
party, under Captain Bruce, has its camp To-
Gated about twelve miles west of Winchester,
and the other, under Captain Marbury, has
selected as its camp ground site War
densvillo, about half way between Winchester
and Moorefeld, in Hardy county. The com
pany will decide upon the selection of no line
until thorough examination has been made
of all the routes spoken of.

made little less hideous than was at first

eight were imprisoned and suffered horrible

agony of the death of these men will never

its ordinary amount of original matter. In
the first place, there is little to write about;
and in the second, the editor has been too
