END OF THE VOLUME.

With this number we close the
first volume, of the new series, OF
the REPUBLICAN. In doing SO We
desire to thank all who have aided
US the past year in making the en-
terprise 4 success. 1t was with some
fear that we came here and invested
what little we had, with the hope OF
success in the end. From the en-
couragement we have received from
all directions, we feel that our labors
have not been in vain. Our eXpen-
ses have been very heavy, in conse-
quenee of having fitted up first
class office, one that would do honor
to any county in the State. We
therefore urge upon our patrons to
assist us once more in securing a
good subscription list This can
be done by every one renewing his
subscription for the coming year
Every intelligent person well knows
the importance and advantage OF
Two papers in county. We hope,
then, that every Republican in the
county, and many Democrats also.
will renew without delay. We also
ask all our foreign subscribers to
aid us at least another year. We
feel that another years patronage,
similar to the last, will enable US to
make several contemplated improve
nents, as well as place the RErUG-
ucAN on a footing that will enable
it to prosper for years TO come. We.
intend to make the next volume
still better, in every particular, to
the one just closed. But in order
to do so we must have the united
support of our friends. During the
present campaign more or less space
will OF course be devoted TO politics,
after that, we shall apply ourselves
in every way possible that will tend
to improve the paper and make it
interesting 10 all of onr subscribers,
at home and abroad. Remember
only 50 in ddUance. sfii r ls4'"i

REMEMBER THIS.

That every ex slave owner and
every rebel property owner in the
south has complete inventory OF
slaves emancipated and of proper
ty used and confscated during the
late rebellion by both armies, made
out and filed away, which they pro-
pose to collect when the Democrat
ic party comes into power. They
are now accepting the new depart
ure' platform solely for the purpose
of securing majority in the next
Congress- with view TO collecting
these accountsl! If the people OF
the north want these debts saddled
upon them, let them place the Dem
ocratic party in power,and see how
soon these results will follow.

A STRAW.

The New York Tribune has the
following:
About two months ago business
man of Wall St. presented a bill at
the Controllers office for work done
in the new Court House. The
amount claimed was sic, ,000;1 but
whenever the claimant visited the
Court House and demanded pay
mept he was informed that there was
no money and the bill could not be
paid. Really requiring money, he
again and again visited the Control
ler's office and stated his need. He
was at last told that if he presented
a bill for $G4, 900, he would be paid.
This he did. and received $64. 900;
$4,000 he retained, and the remain
der he handed over to the members
of the Controllers Office. The com
plete exposure of this monstrous
swindle is expected to result from
the agitation now going on in Wall
street ... ..

SOME MORE DEMOCRATIC CORRUP.
i.. TlON. -F.a. ..-

There is grand raking up of the
records OF Democratic officials in
other places than New York. The
arrest of r. j. Bright, editor and
proprietor Of the indianapolis Sen
Gnel, and Democratic State Printer
of Indiana, is another case in point.
The indianapolis Journal is enti-
tied to the credit of unearthing this
official kleptomaniac, who seems to
have carried the art of drawing
large sums on fraudulent vouchers
to a point that would have done
credit to a TammaIy sachem of the
royal blood. The Journal appears
to have clear knowledge of the
case and hits hard and heavy,a the
while defying the Sentinel to sue
for libel if it dare. Really these
Democrats are nice lot of saints to
be forever croaking about 'iiiadical
corruption and extravaganza %.

The President Suspends Gen. PIeason-
ton--Secretary Boutwell, Sustained. :.

The unpleasant and protracted
controversy between the Commits
sioner of Internal Reyenue and the
Secretary of the Treasury, was final
ly brought to 4 close by the suspen-
sion from office of General Pleason-
ton by the President, on the 9th inst.
The mitigate relations long exist
ing between the President and Gen.
Pleasonton have doubtless caused
the President to exercise forbear-
ance as long as it was possible to
hope for change ip his demeanor
towards the Secretary, and il is said
that he eXerted his kind offices to
induce Gen. Pleasonton to come to
friendly understand with his supe
rior and yield To him a cordial and
cheerful cooperation in cOducting
the business of the Bureau in accor
dance with the policy of the Secre-
tary, But the effort failed and it
became evident that the interests Of
the public service demanded prompt
and decisive action, ard as there
could scarcely be 4 difference Of
opinion as to who ought to be sus
tanned, the public rejoice at the
course taken by the President
in sutaining Mr.. Boutwell,. All
who are acquainted with Mr. Bout
well esteem him Tor his equable tenn
per and geEtlemanly department to-
ward those who are associated with
him, subordmates in the public SER
vice. A plain, unostentations prac-
ticTl man, he puts On no superfqoqs
airs, but devotes himself with great
assiduity to his duties, and expects
those employed in his department
to manifest like devotion TO the
public interest. r'a i

GENERAL ORDER.

Only think of party having this
sort of general order issued to it from
Head Quarters:
about face, March ten years to
the rear. You have been all wrong
for that time, and your enemies have
all the time been right. Take youl
places behind them in the same
track and catch up, If you can.
That is the English Of the new de
parture. Young democrats are ex-
pected to obey the order, and face
to the rear with the Old veterans OF
that party. Would it not be vastly
better to join the advance guard OF
Republicans,and thus keep in the
front ranks?

ENCOURAGING.

The political canvass so far this
wear has been very satisfactory to
the Republicans. 3.e Commencing
with the victory in Connecticut. the
defeat of the Rebels and Ku klux
in their efforts to annul the recon
struction constitution of North Car
olina followed. The victory, for
such we are enabled to call it, in
Kentucky, the other day whereby
the old Democratic majority of 10
900 was reduced to barely 10000
has given fresh vigor to the spirits
of the party which augurs waH for
success in the coming elections in
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
Keep the ball rolling.

The HOUSE AFrRE. = A gentleman
once offered to bet that he would empty
the whole of good winter fire in a
drawing-room out of the CRATE, and
place II upon the carpet in the centre of
the room, all the company to be seated
around it in circle, and that the rsom
should not take fire. MIR. Braidwood,
formerly Captain of the London Fire
Brigade, said that he would have backed
suck a bet; and that the fire in such a
case would probably have died out of
itself. II is not very easy to set fire to
house without first lighting curtains or
other articles that produce lively flame.
This fact, however, should not make Us
less careful respecting the causes Of fires.
Nearly all fires can be managed at the
outset bp the inmates of the house. Dy
shutting the doors and windows, so as
to prevent the suppy of air to the fire.
and by resolutely attacking the flames
with water, rugs or blankets, door mats
etc, the larger part of fires in dwelling
houses map be smothered.
