BAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
Editorial IIilarltics.

The Pennsylvania editors have at
length determined to enjoy tho world
they live in rs well rs other people,
and TO this end rs well as keen eye TO
their interests, have organized associa-
tions to promote the object. The first
of these bodies, the Democratic Associa.
tion of editors, assembled at Bellefontc
on the 18th inst. where they had a most
happy time. Their official proceedings
were only interesting to themselves.
The feature of the occasion was the hos
pitality extended to them by the good
citizens of Bellefonte. In the afternoon
they were treated to a ride to the top of
Nittany mountain, from a point of
which they had splendid view OF
Pcnn's valley, one of the largest, rich.
est and finest valleys in the State. In
the evening they were treated to a fine
trout supper-a trout, ice cream and
strawberry banquet-which was attend.
ed by the principal citizens of the place.
Wine flowed freely yet the utmost de-
corum prevailed. Toasts were given
and short responsive speeches were
made by several gentlemen, and the
utmost good feeling prevailed through
out. Bollefonte will ever be kindly
remembered by the Democratic editors
of the State.
On the next day the editorial associa-
ton without distinction of party as.
semblcd at Williamsport The remark
ably good looking and genial editor of
the Lancaster Mtehligencer, II. G..
SMITH, Esq, president. After business
they were toasted and welcomed, treat.
ed and eycursioned, and generally but
tered and basted by the citizens of
Williamsport. They visited Minequa
Springs in Bradford county, Watkins
Glen, N. Y, &C., and had happy
time generally.
On both occasions the attendance was
good, yet it was much regretted by
those present that all were not there.
In future it is hoped every editor in
the State will be present at each of these
associations.
We may here remark that the best
report we have seen of the entire pro-
ceedings of the Democratic association
was made by Mr.. w. G. WARNER of
the Titusville Courier.

Death of c. L, yallandiglam.

Hon. G. l.. NALLANDIGHAM fatally
wounded himself by pistol shot at
hotel in Lebanon, Ohio, on the 10Th
inst. The telegraph says he was coun-
sci for M'Geehan, who is on trial for
the murder of Myers, and was prepar-
ing his argument. lie had an empty
and loaded pistol lying on the table,
and was showing how Myers might
have shot himself. He unfortunately
picked up the loaded pistol instead of
the empty one, which went off, the ball
passing through the abdomen. He died
the next day.
Mr.. V. was very able man, and
since he Is dead both friends and ene-
mics give him credit for the most per-
feet honesty of motive in all the rela-
tions of life. Even when it was deemed
necessary to traduce every prominent
Democrat in the land, Mr.. V. S private
character was never attacked so far as
we know. He was, unfortunately for
him, one of those men whose yigoro us
and peculiar intellects accomplish in
jury to friends rather than to enemies.
Although of late years he had the rep.
utation of an extremist in politics, his
ffrmness and reliability was always
doubted by those who knew him best.
He was able but imperious, and if his
measures did not command present sue.
cess he was ever ready to immediate
every thing in the hope that then some
thing new could be turned up tha
would bring success. His recent :" new
departure" which has been so blindlS
followed by the scheming portion o
politicians, is an example in point
Because the Democracy would not &C
cept his counsel to arm against tn
ultraisms of the Radicals he was TO
accepting the most pernicious and de
structive of their measures, in the hop
that upon minor points they might b
beaten.
His calamitous death is to be regret
ted, but by it the Democracy of Obi
and the whole country lose yer
troublesome friend-honest, able an
impracticable. He was near 80 year
of age.

IMPORTANT facts have transpired in
relation to the resolution passed by the
Radical Convention in this State, in
dorsing GRANT. 1t appears that this
res olution was twice offered in the Com
mittee, and twice rejected by an almost
unanimous vote. 1t was next offered
in open Convention, where the men,
bers did not like to vote against it, and
allowed it to so through. The sense of
the Convention was evidently against
General GRANT, and it is said the coun-
ter current was set running by Senator
CAMERON. The old trickster does not
want the President to think he is too
strong in Pennsylvania. That might
detract from the power and influence of
the Senator at the White House

DIR, StantOn's Services,

Let us have light! That DIR. STAN
TON, the Radical candidate for Auditor
General, was Surgeon in the army
and that he was once promoted by his
uncle, is undoubtedly true, for the pay
rolls attest it. But it is asserted that he
was never in hearing of rebel gun
and expended all his patriotism at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, and other safe places
How is this, Messrs. Radicals? Give
the public the history of your candi
date and particularly detail the battles
at which he was present. Let us have
light! Uncles might promote nephew'
without merit.

Gen. McCandless, Military Record.

That Gen. MCANDLEss fought brave
ly, eihclently and continually through
the severest battles of the war, and re-
tired only when severely wounded
the Radical press do not deny. But
they say he refused to accept Gener-
als commission because he was opposed
to the war. Our recollection, though
not clear, is different. We think he
refused because it was signed by LIN,
COLIN or STANTON, or both. If so, h,
exhibited pluck and just pride. Wher,
is his letter? 1t was published in full
let 1t be reprOduced.l

THE Radical party has lost two more
shining lights-Governor Butler, of Ne
braska, impeached and removed from
Office for divers crimes and misdemean-
ors; and cx.Congressman c. c. Bowen,
of South Carolina, convicted of bigamy.
Such wholesale dispensing of justice
should be stopped, or Ben. Butler may
be convicted of theft and Grant found
guilty of violating the Constitution by
accepting bribes and presents, and so on
until the Radical party is left withou t
a leader.

THE "new departure" of small ma
jority in the late Democratic Conven-
tion need not necessarily alarm any
body. The same trick was played by a
convention that assembled at Pittsburg
in 1919, whereby the Democratic party
was made to declare for the Wilmot pro-
viso. That action had no effect on the
party or the ensuing election, but was
promptly and unanimously repudiated
by the conventions that followed. Such
will be the fate of the present absurd
departure.

WHEN HOLDEN, the Radical Gov.
ernor of North Carolina, was impeached
for various misdemeanors in office, and
removed, the papers in his interest
cried out political persecution. In that
case majority of the Legislature was
opposed to the Governor. But what
excuse will be offered for Governor
BUTLER of Nebraska? He, like HoL-
DEN, has been impeached and removed
from office. But it cannot be said that
the movement was Democratic one
for it originated in a Radical House
and was followed by conviction in a
Radical Senate, against Radical Gov
ernor.
1t is worthy of note, that justice is at
last reaching the men who, having

people ftheir money-and their rights.

SMITH, the negro cadet, having been
again sentenced to dismissal from the
Military Academy, by the Court Mar
tial who tried him for his oiienses, has
been again the subject Of political favor.
His sentence has been commuted to

ject of keeping him there is achieved,

IT is gratifying to see the laboring
men take such decided stand against
the dominant party, and it augurs well
for the success of our cause. Bya kind
of delusion, many were taken int the
so'called Republican party, but having
been with it long enough to learn its
real intentions, they have left it, aud in
being so have given it serious kick,
from which it is groaning quite Justify

DIR. STANTON spent large portion
of his term of military service as con-
tract surgeon in Columbus. For this
he was promoted by his relative at the
head of the War Department. In ac-
cepting the nomination for Auditor
General from the treasury ring he has
entered on another and aquite different
contract. This is to audit their accounts
with the people of the Commonwealth.
But he will discover in this last case
that it takes more than the ring to make
bargain.

Care Of Horses.

A celebrated writer says: All
horses must not be fed iu the same
proportions, without regard tc
their ages, their constitutions, and
their work, because the impropri.
ETY. Of such a practice is self:evi
dent. Yet it is constantly done
and is the basis Of diseases of eve
ry kind.
Never use bad hay on account o:
it's cheapness, because there is not
proper nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly
injurious, because it brings on in
aammation of the bowels and skin
diseases.
Chaff is better for old horses thar
hay, because they can chew ano
digest it better.
Mix chaff with corn or beans
and do not give the latter alone
because it makes the horse chew
his food more, and digest it bet
| ter.
Hay or grass alone will not sup
port ahorse under hard work, be-
cause there is not sufficient nutri
tive body in either.
When horse is worked hard its
food should chiefly be oats; if moi
worked hard, it's TODD should chief
Iy be hay, because oats supply
more nourishment and flesh ma
king material than any other kind
Of food; hay not SO much.
For a saddle or coach horse, hall
a peck of sound oats, and eighteen
pounds of good hay, are sufficient
If the hay is not good, add a quar-:
ter of a peck more oats. A horse
which works harder may have
rather more of each. One that
works little should have less.
Rich feeding is wasteful. The
better plan is to feed with chopped
hay, from a manger, because the
food is not then thrown about, and
is more easily chewedeand digest
ed.
Sprinkle the hay with water that
has salt dissolved in it, because it
is pleasing to the animals taste,
and more easily digested. A tea
spoonful of salt in a bucket of wa
ter is sufficient.
Oats should be bruised for an
old horse, but not for young one,
because the former, through age
and defective teeth, cannot chew
them properly; the young horse
can do so, and they are TINS pro-
perly mixed with the saliva, and
turned into wholesome nutriment.

Summer Flowers.

When skies are bright, and Natures face
OF sadness knows no shadow,
And summers hand is clear to trace
In woodland and in meadow
Wnat time the Iong-lost summer-sun
Laughs OH the laughing hours
Hinted by Spring ere Spring was done
We pluck the summer flowers,
Or culpd in gardens rich parterre,
Or by the hedgerow wild,
Where cultured fragrance sleeps the ar
Or where, by breczes mild
Nurtured spontaneous, Summers store
Fulfils the pledge of Spring,
We search the fowery treasure DER,
Which summer bounties bring.
Those summer flowers, where'er they
be,
In wild or tutor'd places,
Are sweet; but ah, more sweet TO see
Are wonder summer faces!
And summer flowers, from out their bee
When pluck'd by Igirlish hand,
Show best encircling girlish head
Within their odorous band.
Then gather flowers while yet you may
Life's opening sweetness cherish,
Ere age shall shadow youths glad ,day
Ere life's one summer perish.
Ahme! you merry girlish crew,
Your laughter speeds the hours;
Your flowers are very fair, but you
Are summers choicest flowers.
