a DisloYal Governor.

There does not seem to be good understand
ing between President Grant and the Governor
IAN ex-army officer of South Carolina for the
reason that the latter does not want Grant to
interfere with matters in his bailiwick. A
Northern exchange referring to the subject,
says:
''An interview was recently held in Wash
ington between General Grant and Governor
Scott, of South Carolina, in relation to the Ku-
klux bill, and the means of its enforcement
The Governor said there had been no distur-
bance of the public peace in South Carolina,
and mildly insinuated that the blood and thun-
der proclamation was as unnecessary as it was
ineffective. Grant claimed that his action was
necessary, because the Radical State Central
Committee in that State had adopted resolu-
tions favorable to its denomination to the Pres
idency. The meeting was of doubtful char
acter, and Governor Scott went home with the
opinion that the Radical party could have a
better candidate for the Presidency in 1872
than Gen. Grant

atrocities of the first French Revolution, that
civilization itself may engender the barbarism

A POINT IN THE BANKRUPTCY BUSINESS. -
A new and important question in bankruptcy
has arisen in the United States District Court
in New York. 1t has been that in majority
of instances no account has been rendered of
the sums paid by bankrupts to the Lawyers !;
and as all the assets of bankrupt belong to
his creditors it is claimed that a bankrupt has
no right to fee counsel with any Of the pro-
ceeds of his estate, and that counsel in receiv-
ing such fees, invountarily take the place of
debtors, and may be sued.

+ CAUSE OF THE FRENCH. DEFEAT General
Trochu, in the defence of his administration at
Paris during the siege, which he resumed be-
fore the French Assembly on Wednesday last
stated that the principal cause of the defeat of
the magnificent sorties made by his troops for
the relief of the city was the almost exclusive
use of artillery by the Germans. The art Of
combining and concentrating artillery, for both
offensive and defensive operations, was : the
leading feature of the German campaign, and
may be said to have really decided every i'm
portant engagement It was perhaps the only
war in which artillery was ever so extensively
used, and it was employed frequently by the
Germans in positions and under circumstances
in which infantry are ordinarily called upon. =
Gen. Trochu attributes the troubles in Paris
during the siege to the intrigues of Bismarck,
who, he said, furnished the malcontents secret

Free Trade.

An excellent Democratic paper, the
Democratic Watchman, published of
Bellefonte, Pa, thus condenses several
columns of argument in favor of free
trade:
We are for free trade. We believe in
buying what we need where we can get
it the cheapest,and selling what we have
to dispose Of where we can get the most
for it. This is the true secret, of ma
tional as well as individual prosperity,
and by and by it will be the acknowl-
edged doctrine all over the country. The
old cry of ssprotection" is played Gut;
inasmuch as the only ones who are .'pro-
tected" are the wealthiest men in the
land. Did anybody ever hear of a tariff
for the protection of the poor man? We
guess not. The iron manufacturers are
about the only class that are protected
in Pennsylvania, but the men who work
for them get none Of the benefit Of such
protection. Free trade is the panacea
for all the ills of the tariff.
To which the New York Democrat
adds:
Who ever heard Of a poor man re-
ceiving benefit from tariff Yet poor
men are beguiled into voting against
their interests, not to put money in their
pockets, but to please protectionists and
those good talking men who claim it is
the duty of the poor to make laws for
the protection of the rich.

LET The Senate has stricken out from
the Indian bill the clause which the
House had inserted to protect the Indi-
ans against the robbery to which they
have been subjected by conspiracy be-
tween so.called attorneys and Govern
ment agents. This is the work of job
bing legislators, who are notoriously
concerned in these frauds. It WIS pro-
ven before the House Committee that
General Blunt, an attorney, received
S126, ,000as fees from three tribes in
cases which amounted in the aggregate
to 1895, 600 The Quaquaw tribe is one
of the number, and q certain Mr. Mitch
ell, brother-in-law of Senator Harlan,
who is chairman Of the Indian Affairs,
and an agent OF the Government, was
the witness to several OF the contracts
made by Blunt. and paid him the money.
This system uf blhnder has become
monstrous, and is daily growing worse
1t is difficult to say whether the Indians
are most robbed by the Bureau or the
''ring' in Congress, which, sad to say. is
most notorious 10 the Senate. It is high
time that the parties engaged in this bu-
siness should be thoroughly exposed.

Living wllhin Your Means.

Bulwer says that poverty is only an
idea, in nine cases out of ten. Some
men with $4,000 year suffer more for
want of means than Others with $500
The reason is, the richer man has artifi
cial wants. His income is $4,000 a
year, and he suffers enough from being
dunned for unpaid debts to kill a sensi-
tive man. The man who earns dollar
a day and does not go in debt, is the
happier Of tue two. Very few people
who have never been rich will believe
this, but it is true. There are thousands
and thousands with princely incomes
who never know moments peace, be.
cause they live above their means. There
is really more happiness in the world
among the workingmcn; than among
those who are called rich.

First, solemnly determine in your
mind never to allow an ounce of ground
coffee to enter the door of the kitchen.
If no one about the premises under
stands the art Of roasting coffee. then
buy it ready roasted, and try and find q
dealer who has not soaked all the essen
tial Juices from the coffee before putting
it into his oven Get an earthen pot
you cannot make good coffee or tea in a
tin vessel-and put the ground coffee in
a clean white flannel bag, and be sure to
put enough in, and drop the bag into
pot. Pour on boiling water and let it
steep; do not BOIL it The coffee will
steep in twenty minutes. Never break
an egg into coffee, and never fill up with
water the second time. Pour on in the
beglnnisg, the amount of water needed.
An ordinary teacupful of ground coffee
is sufficient fol three persons. Use ia,
va, Mocha, or Java and Rio mixed. Fol-
low this recipe, and you will never COM
plain of poor coffee.
