For the Democratic Press.

Mr.. ED1ToR a leading editoriil !
article in the Bogus Democrat pape,s
of the last week, under the above
heading, very earnestly admomshes
the Republicans. of the Republican
townships of this county that it is
of prime Importance for them to
hold caucuses in season, and prepare
TO put full tickets in the field for the
spring election in every Republican
township, corporation and precinct,
and especially to elect Republican
trustees and judges of election, to
protect the negro "in his newly ac-
quired right to VOTE" as though the
negro had not been allowed to vote by
every Republican election board in
Ohio for many past years, Laws and
Constitutions to the contrary notwith-
standing.
We have thus become accustomed
TO the negro voting, and expect it, but
what we Democrats most dread is that
our Republicans will adopt the prac-
tices of the radicals of other locali-
ties, and taking advantage of having
the entire control of the ballot boxes,
will stuff them to repletion.
1t is observable that Editor Hall, in
his great earnestness, addressing his
Radical friends on the 'prirne impor-
tance" of electing entire election
boards in every Republican township
and precinct, avows no principle or
policy except for the negro, and
though he often appeals to party and
personal interests, not once speaks of
the public or general interest of the
people; and therefore it is presuma-
BILE he means only partisan interest,
the loaves and fishes of office, incIud-
ing the stealings practised by his par
ty friends; for he and they are great
advocates of high salaries. On the
other hand Democrats labor to arrest
the tendency of our governing powers
TO oppression, to an expensive govern
ment, and an oppressed people, to an
absolute Congress and weak State
governments, deprived of all their
original powers of even saying who
shall be voters or legislators.
Iwould recommend to every Dem
ocrat to read the editorial above al
luded to, and be cautioned by it, and
/ if possible to elect one Democrat as
trustee or clerk in every township,
that they may be salutary clerk on
any disposition of our opponents to
fraud. They may perhaps be honest,
but it will be well to watch them.
observe they take every possible
pain, every year to beat the election
early, and where they nave full Re.
publican Board of Trustees, and town
clerk, to elect also the other clerk, sc
as to have full control of the ballotine
and ballot box. That looks a little
suspicious. Let us watch and coun.
teract them. A DEMocRAT.

More Indian Troubles Apprehended.

A Chicago telegram of the 1st inst,
says: a letter was received to-day
at Gen. Sheridan's headquarters from
Col. D. S. Stanley, Dakotah Territory,
which gives discouraging account of
Indian affairs in that region, based
chiefly upon the information brought
to that post by young Sioux chief
named seLittle White Swan" who had
been for some time at Cheyenne agen-
cy. This chief, who is very friendly
to the whites and is regarded as per-
fectly reliable, says he had entertained
hopes of bringing in all his people,
but recently q notorious renegade
murderer, John Richards, had SO
stirred up and Influenced them against
the whites that hostilities the coming
season will probably be worse than
ever before. Several other tribes be-
sides the Sioux are becoming more
hostile and are sending out war par
ties in the direction Of the Platte.
They have recently killed several
white men and brought in numerous
mules. A severe battle had been
fought between a party of Sioux and
Crows, not far from the fort. Twelve
sioux and about all the Crows en-
gagged were killed. The letter con-
cludes as follows: "The posts and
settlers in Wyoming will soon feel the
effect of this change in the disposition
in the Sioux, and some of the best
Indians think we will feel it on the
Missouri river also.o =
Grants Quaker policy don't seem
to work well with the red skins
Why not let them vote? Won't that
enlighten and civilize them And
isn't it their natural right" a

Robb;,.p 4be Poor.

We copy the following sensible par
agraph from the Washington letter Of
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly TO the st.
Paul Dispatch:
Taxation is an essential of govern
ment, and government is an es-
sential of civilization and taxa-
ton, therefore, we must have
And taxation may be so adjusted as
to best promote the welfare of the
country; but whenever you go step
beyond this, You are in effect taking
money out of the pockets of one class
of people and putting it into the pock-
sets of smother. Now, it may be that
under certain circumstances the whole
people may be willing to have this
done but If they are, the question
should be submitted to them clearly
and plainly, stripped of all disguises
and lying pretences, and the money
should be taken openly from tha pub
lie treasury and paid over to the class
which it is intended to favor, in broad
daylight, and as an ayowed gift or boz
nus. This thing of making o poor
fellow on the frontier contribute to
the support of men much better off
than he is, under the delusion that he
is helping to support the government
he loves, and for which he would will
ingly peril his life, is an abominable
fraud, mockery and a cheat. The
one thing that endeared the memory
of. the outlaw Robin Hood to the
masses of the people for many gene
rations, was that although he robbed
from the rich he gave to the poor.
These latter day Robin Hoods rob
from the poorito give to the rich.-
'From him that hath nothing shall be
taken even that which he hath, }" seems
to be the gospel of these saints.

DISASTER AT SCRANTON, PA.-On
the afternoon of the 2Sth ult., terri
Bile disaster occurred at Scranton, Pa,
by the explosion of the boiler of the
heating furnace at the iron rolling
mill of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
Company. A portion of the roof OF
the building with all its heavy shaft
ing, &C., rs by 95 feet, was blown in
to the air, and shafting Of immense
size and weight was carried to an ele-
vation of seventy-fiYe to hundred
feet. The noise of the explosion
shock half the city, damaging many
buildings in the vicinity. Twenty OF
thirty men were buried in the ruins,
nine of whom were taken out dead.

The Coming Storm.

Hon. Ignatius Donnelly in his letter
to the St. Paul Dispatch, a radical
journal, says: "Let the West put its
house in order for the biggest fight in
many years. The disruption of par
ties which accompanied the Kansas
and Nebraska struggle will be repeat
ed on larger SCALE" So bold and
reckless have the radical rulers become
in their class legislation, and their
plundering of the laboring, producing
interests of the country for the bene-
ft of the privileged orders, that
many of the prominent journals and
leading men of the party are openly
denouncing them. The symptoms OF
break up in the radical "happy fam
lyo are nnmistaksble.

SILVER IN CAEADA.-Our Canadian
neighbors continue to agitate the ques-
ton of a redundancy of American
silver in their markets, and complain
that it operates as drag on the busi-
ness of the country. At the late ses-
sion of parliament the house of COM
mons resolved unanimously that the
American silver in circulation is "pro-
ductive of serious Inconvenience to
business men ;" that its removal is
necessary" and that the silver has
become such drag upon the business
of the country that the Intervention
Of the government has become neces-
sarv to remove it from circulation
The finance minister adds; "There
can be no doubt that at present the
silver currency is largely in excess Of
what is required, and nothing but cx-
perience will enable the government
to decide as to the best means of per-
forming the duty deyolved on it by
the house of commons, which is to
secure for the public g silvcr curren-
cy of uniform current value with
gold"

DWELLING HOUSE BURNED.-The
dwelling house of Mr.. David Leighley,
on the road leading from Navarro to
the Falls of Sugar creek, took fire on
the evening of the 18th ult., and was
soon entirely consumed. Most of the
furniture in the lower rooms was
saved, and by great exertion of the
neighbors, his large barn and out
buildings were prevented from taking
fire. There was no insurance, loss

The RADICAL SAINTs.-An exchange
likens the Radicals to the old Puri-
tans of New England, who, covering
their lcovetousness with q religious
CLOAK, adopted this platform:
lst. Resolred, That the world and
the fatness thereof belongs to the
Saints.
: I'd. Resotced; That we are the
Saints.
The Radical leaders are just the
same kind of !" Saints as those
whose resolves are above given. They
think the United States belongs of
right to them, and they have right
to plumber the people for their own
benefit.
THEoLoGY LoosE-The shipping re-
eeipt of well-known Express COM
pany contains this extraordinary
S'saving clause" "And it is hereby
expressly agreed that Wells, Fargo &
Co. are not to be held liable for any
loss or damage except as forwardsrs
only; nor for any loss or damage of
any box, package, or thing for over
$50, unless the just and true value
thereof is stated; nor for any loss or
damage by fire, the acts of God, or of
Indians, or other public enemies of
the Government"
Butler and the other immaculate
lights of the Radical party, should
look to the reconstruction of that COM
panY. Heaven must be on the side,
not against our present loyal and
virtuous Government.
