ROM MolIENRY is not very chari-
tably inclined towards those govern
ment officials who prosecuted him
while he was engaged in distilling and
they were busy harrassing people gen.
orally! Though the officers of the de.
partment at Washington forced him to
agree not to prosecute his prosecutors,
he seems determined to hold them up
to the more serious punishment of pub
lie odum. Matters now look as though
the officers had "waked up the wrong
passenger" and they would no doubt
bo glad to-day If they had never dis
turbsd him. He writes with caustic
pen and cuts to the quick. Read his

rebel navy Lieutenant, n delegl ate to
their next national convention. AS
GRANT appointed Gen. LoNGsTREET

Radical Sinalinc.

Paymastcr HODGE, U. 8. Army, 6
Radical favorite, turns up defaultcr tc
the government, has been imprisoned
in Fort McHenry, Nd, and will be
tried by court martial. The amount o.
his admitted defalcation is four hu1dred
and .ffiy thousand doYdrS nearly hal
million--but it may be much more
He says he has been gambling in stocks
in Wall Street, for some years past, and
sunk the money. OF course the people
can make up this loss by paying taxes
into the Treasury.
An assistant Postmaster in the Post
Office Of New York city-another prime
Radical-also turns up as defaulter to
the acknowledged amount of one h,n,-
dred and fifteen thousand dollars. How
he sunk this respectable amount of pub
lie money does not clearly appear /; but
it was probably by speculations, enter
ed upon in order to grow suddenly rich,
in imitation of GRANT.
The big EVANS steal from this State
of three hundred thousand dollars, is
another Radical exploit which we have
had occasion recently to ventilate and
explain. EVANS has not been arrested
nor is it likely that proper punishment
will ever be inflicted upon him.
We endeavor to keep our readers adj
vised of matters of interest occurring
in the country and particularly of all
remarkable events in the administra :
ton of government. But it is impossi
bic to keep up with official abuses under
GRANT, and the task of recting them
is repulsive. Therefore the people can
only expect to be informed by the press
Of occasional cases of mal.administra-
ton which happen to be exposed by
judicial inquiry or by quarrels am ong
the Radical rogues themselves.

County Commissioner.

If the Democratic convention had
nominated citizen of bloomsbury for
County Commissioner tho Radical Of
fice-holdors "ring" would have howl
ed with Indignation and the whole Rad
ical camp would have been fired up to fe'
yer heat! We would have had no end to
yarns about heavy street damages and
other appropriations from tho county
treasury for the benefit of tho county
seat. AS the Democrats, however, re-
fused to do this very thing, the Radical
ringn induces citizen OF Blooms
burg to offer himself as a volunteer
Now IL is all right, good people, they
say, aud if they can have their way the
town of Bloomsbury will have Com.
missioner, Notwithstanding the fact that
a majority of the Democrats in Blooms
burg as we'll as the Democratic convon-
ton said No! the country ought to
have the Commissioner. We refer to
this fact as glaring example of the
want of principle as well as consistency
in the Radical ring. Whatever their
Democratic fellow-citizens do or pro-
pose to do is all wrong, but whatever
they oppose is all right! That logic
may do amongst people controlled sole
ly by prejudice but can never be ap-
proved by common sense people.
What is the great anxiety of Mr.,
SIirvE to be county Commissioner, thar
induces him to cndcavor to force hi m
self upon the people when they SO pal
pably don't want him? a majority of
the Democrats in Bloomsburg voted
against him at tho delegate election.
Only eleven delegates voted for him in
convention, and not one of these will
support him at the election. The honor
of holding the Office IS not sufficient to
account for his anxiety aud there is no
profit in the salary paid. What hidden
ouiect, then, prompts him to endeavUr
to force himself upon an unwilling
public? He promised 10 abide by the
decision of the convention, yet he not
only treats that promise IS worthless
but is doing whatever he can TO be
elected himself in direct opposition to
the almost unanimous decision of the
convention! When man goes so far
as this, it is fair and prudent to infer
that he has some ulterior object TO af-
feet in obtaining oliice-something that
he is unwilling TO tell the public-some-
thing improper, unfair or unpopular.
WILLIAM SuAFFER was fairly nom-
mated for Commissioner on the first
ballot, is worthy man, and is entitled
to the support of every Democrat. In
fact he ought to be supported by all
those who are opposed to the town of
Boomsburg exercising undue influence,
about which some people talk so freely,
and which forms the principal stock in
trade of the Radical " ring"

THE correspondent of the Republican

py faculty of mixing" as we'll as mis-
representing. The fact is that before
the Radicals came into power one dol
lar would buy more necessaries of life
than 1--WE will now. The wages of one
days labor in each week will not pay
all the direct and indirect taxes which
Radical legislation has imposed upon
each citizen. "Two dollars day and
roast beef was motto of the old
Whig party in 1910, and was piece OF
humbug never resorted to by tho De-
mocracy. No great or small "light OF
Democracy ever preached that ten
cents day was enough for laboring
men," and the SANDER resembling this
was dropped thirty years ago, as it wa:
too etf'ectually exposed for even block
heads to believe it. 10 impose the

Thus, the thousands of millions of gov
ernment bonds held by the rich are ex
empted from taxation, while tea, coffee
sugar, salt and molasses, used as exten
sively by the poor as the rich, are heav
lily taxed. Coarse fabrics, used by the
poor, are tariifed as high as 200 per cent
