SOME MORE.

A few more extracts from Demo.
cratic papers on the Prussians. The
following is from the Chicago Times
the great Democratic organ of the
Northwest: ''- % '.'-'.
1t may be added that these, meet
ings to express sympathy for the
Prussians, are exhibitions of very
cheap patriotism-wort however,
of the descendants of the hireling
Hessians who fought against Amer
lean Independence in 1776. .,. l....
1t looks now as if the necessity
for the next war in this country
might be to teach these audacious
scamps Germans the propriety OF
decent behavior. -4.',s SHE s-,. r
And this from the Philadelphia
Age, whose Democracy has never
been doubted: -..,r,.-.., .,.--.-.
"William will be guided by Bis
marck in the future, as he has been
in the past, and Bismarck is cold,
cruel, heartless despot. He will
crush the people of France under
the iron heel of military power, un-
less the Great Powers call halt,
and demand that affairs shall be set
tied by a Congress of Nations. But
will that be done? Who nowrewill
have the courage to bell the cat?
Will Russia or England? Ifnot these
powers, then from what quarter will
even a meek, mild remOnstrance
come? The present is an eventful
period in the history of Europe.
Despotism has gained a decided ad-
vantage, and the rights of the
masses are pushed back a century" -"
And yet the OHIO Democrat has
effrontery to tell us that the Democ-
racy have favored the Prussians
from the inception of the war! We
could fill our paper with extracts
from the New York World, the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, the Boston Post,
and all the leading Democratic pa
pers both North and South, heaping
insult upon insult upon the Ger
mans, and yet in face of all this a
large majority of the Germans In
this country are expected to vote the
Democratic ticket.

STARTLING TO DEMOCRATS.

A startling report comes to us
from Louisiana, says the CONNER
cial-to the effect that the Chairman
of the Democratic State Committee
have decided that negroes have
just as good right as delegates in a
Democratic State Convention as
white men! Not only so, but he
says they will be "welcomedp'
Whereupon that paper says: 'Hear
that, We anti-fifteenth amendment
Democrats of Ohio! DO yer want
yer sister to marry nigger.'

MORTON TO SUCCEED MOTLEY

Nearly all the morning papers
having printed an announcement of
the English Minister, the State De
partment concluded to let it be
known, and sent q formal notice of
the appointment to the press about
noon. On examination it appeared
that wrong initials had been fur
nished. A telegram to that effect
soon reached the department, there
upon it became necessary to send a
second communication to the press
correcting the first. The commls
sion of Senator Morton has been
made out. ..

LAND GRANTS TO SOLDIERS.

AS there are many inquiries il
regard to the land grant to soldiers
made by the present Congress, We
would say that soldiers can avail
themselves of the benefit of this ACT
only by actual settlements, the diff
ference between them and other ac
tual settlers being, that, of the alter
nate reserved sections along the
railroads and public works, they re
ceive on five years occupation 16(
acres, while the other settlers can
get only eighty acres.

REPUBLICAN, COUNTY TICKET.

We would respectfully call the at
tention of the voters of this county
to the Republican county ticket.
These gentlemen were chosen be-
cause of their strict integrity and
fidelity. They are strictly eonsci-
entious, and, if elected, will fill the
offices to the best interests of the
county. Let every voter of the
county, whether Republican or Dem
ocrat, give them his honest support
as they are deserving of it.

The New 1orkiIOS gives the
population of that city at 907,979
In taht, however, seventeen election
districts are estimated by the emu
merations. The Times gives the
population at SS5,026, the same
number of districts being estimated.
The actual enumeration, without
any guess work, will determine ex-
actly what the population is. The
best way to get at the population of
New York, is to estimate it, on the
basis of the Democratic vote. That
would make it the biggest city in
the world. r. ..... ...

THE DEMOCRACY TERRIBLY CON-
CERNED.

Inc NEWARK AHcOcuJe, puDllSneu
by brother of General George w.
Morgan, the Democratic member of
Congress from the Licking district,
and a candidate for reelection, in
stirring up the faithful to activity
and labor, after admonishing them
that "lethargyis only another name
for DEATH" says: "It is needful that
Democrats shall be awake, and that
their thoughts be directed to the
adoption Of schaterer means may
hold out the best prospect of in
creasing the Democratic vote, and
giving death-blow to the destruc-
tive party that has been ruling the
country to its ruin"
There you have the Democratic
programme in a nutshell. They
don't intend to stop with all honor
able means for ensuring success, but
are exhorted to adopt "whateyey
means" will accomplish that end.
This, of course, means bribery,
fraudulent naturalization papers,
repeating and the various other
kinds of trickery that the leaders OF
the Democracy know so well how to
use and invent. But the GOODNESS OF
Democratic assumption, as embod-
led in the last two lines of the above
quotation, is most wonderful. "The
destructive party that has been ru-
ling the country to its ruin," comes
certainly with very bad grace from
member of the Democratic party
which, for four years, upon the field
of blood and carnage, sought to di-
vide and ruin the country, as ap-
piled to the Republican party which
so nobly prevented them from ac-
complishing their fiendish designs.
Is it not the very height of political
diabolism for men who are doing
their very best, both through their
own newspapers and by the votes OF
their Gen. Morgans and Judge Dick
insons, to ruin the finances and the
credit of the country, to charge the
party which has so faithfully admin
istered the government, and main
tanned the public credit, with "ruling
the country to its ruin.'
The people of the country, how
ever, know the difference between
honesty and dishonesty; between a
faithful and unfaithful collection OF
the revenues; between an honest
discharge of every public obligation
and repudiation; between, in short,
a traitorous Democracy and a pat
riot Republicanism, and only need
to understand the Importance of the
matter, to fully and unequivocally
express themselves upon the subject
through the ballot box at the COM
ing election. Therefore, let the
workingmen of the Republican
party strive to prevent Democratic
frauds, and to impress upon the
minds Of their Republican neigh
bors the Importance of a full vote,
and all will be well. This the De
mocracy well understand. Hence
their dishonest and frantic appeals
to the faithful to wake up and de-
wise some 'means" by which the
wishes of the people may be thwart-
| ed .-ET. .t .ri

TREASURY WATCH DoGs.'' .
''The closing days of the session
have witnessed the passage of very
few Jobs. Some questionable ap
preparations have crept in through
the Conference Committees but on
the whole the action of both Houses
have been highly creditable in these
matters. No perambulating COM
mittees were authorized, and all
usual and various provisions for ex-
ira services Of employees through
the vacation failed. The only land
grant allowed in the House was only
actually decreasing a grant already
made, by authorizing change Of
route making the line shorter
Prominent among Republicans in

out for land and railroad bills were

sion. The State Department refus-
es to give any information other
than that n commission has been
filed up and signed, except as to the
name, which the President is to send
by telegraph.

bore herself with such modesty and graco
az to win their entire confidence and re-.
spect. At one time she gave out that it
was necessary Tor her to proceed to Eng
land and look after her rights in person,
and the wife Of the M. ID. spokef, OF above
was selected Ne her c0n2g}agRoa DIN g0Yttqe.
Snbseq uent!y sho asid that the Courts
had decided the inheritance in her favor,
and that consequently she was relieved
from the necessity Of proceeding to
Europe. One thing is little strange ::
that while Miss Gray pretended to be in
almost constant receipt of advices from
her counsel in England and Mr.. Archi-
bald i'd New York. no one ever saw these
letters or even scrap OF paper tending to
confirm her statements. Such was the
confidence felt in her by the community
that her representations were generally
taken upon trust. Week before last,
when it was announced that the first of
the Inheritance had been received in New
York, Miss Gray sold out her millinery
establishment at auction, and prepared to
retire to private life. She then went to
New York, and ON her return announced
the receipt of S5,000000 of the money,
though her demeanor was unchanged and
she remained the same quiet, unpretend-
ing, modest sort Of girl. People re-
marked upon this trait in her character,
and one bluff old fellow said "he1' head
wBs set square upon her shoulders" Now
that the bubble is burst, we wonder what
explanation she will make of her conduct,
particularly as she has through it ac-
CURED notoriety not at all enviable and
one very distasteful to modest, high
minded young lady, such as she seemed to
be up to the denial by Mr.. Archibald OF
the story of her singular inheritance.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

The American people emphatically g fast
hvers." The constant wear and tear of brain and
muscle brings on. MANY ailments, including dis
paa,sia and all i& attendant horrors, such as bill
1ous headache, loss of appetite, stupor hypoehon-
dria, and general debility of the whole system.
All persons thus afflicted need some gentle stimu-
liant, which comprises medical properties and the
virtues of the best tonic. Such an article can be
found in ALIENS CONGRESS BITTERs. They are
not cheap Whiskey, but a scientific combina-
ton of some sixteen kinds of Roots and Banks,
all of which acknowledged by the Medical
Faculty to contain curative and tonic properties.
One important ingredient is the Prickly Ash
Berry. celebrated throughout Europe pre-
ventive of Asatic cholera and of all summer
complaints and diseases. All persons should have
some reliable family medicine on hand, not only
as a cure but preventive and all who believe
that pure curative stimuant is preferable to the
many poisonous compounds usually called ''Bour-
bon Whiskcy," should purchase and use ALIENS
CONGRESS BITTERs. Address w. ALLEN, Pro-

15IE Fort EDWARD MILLINER.-The
papers for several months past have been
snll q stories concerning an immense fc:-
sane which has beer left TO o Miss Gray,
Fort Edward milline~, @y deceased
English lover. The Troy Times of Thurs
day settles tl05 matter, which has eo;ci.Nd
considerable iNterest beresOouts, in the
following o.
) Mr.. Archil Id, the British aCansul at
New Ye-k, has felt it to be his duty to
del5f the story that he had paid Miss
Gray, the Fort Edward nilliner, the s&m
OF $5,000,OJ0, the first instaGment .of a
bequest of $17,000,00C made to Ser by
the father u her lover, an English NOBLE
man and the whole story is therefore nm
doubtedly !. hoax. Some days since we
received 8 letter stating that there was no
truth III the rerort of the milliner girls
good fortune but as it was anonymous
we did DIX repose that confidence in it
Which we otherwise would haps done.
ABOUT the same time we Were called to
Fort Edward Oh business, and undertook
to investigate the5report for ourselves
We tried to interview" the rich ycang
maiden, bat were told Shat Miss GRAY
was out of town; whereupon we souoht
informaticn of the affair from the girls
neighbors, and found that the story was
generally credited by them. Indeed, one
enthusiastic M Dc had no doubt of Miss
Gray's good Fortune, and he himself was
the subject Of numerous congratulations
from his friends, as it was understood
that the rich heiress was disposed to re-
member him in very handsome manner
for acts Of kindness shown to her in her
days of adversity. We cannot divine the
object Of Miss Gray's deception. 1t is
nearly if not quite three years since she
started the story Of her rich Inherit
ance, and during that time. while her
neighbors supposed she was soon
to become extraordinarily wealthy, she
