which have been perpetrated In the abused

these robberies are now seeking to escape the

SAVING NEY.--lhe POSSESSION of few
dollars often makes all the difference between
happiness and misery, and no man, especially
with family dependant upon him, can be
truly independent unless he has Il few dollars
reserved for the time of need. " bile extreme
careiuness to the expenditure of money
will make Il rich man poor, II wise economy
will almost as ccrtainy make poor man rich,
or at least make him, to considerable extent,
independent Of the caprices of employers and
of the common vitssiIudes Of Ete. Nothing
is more important to the poor man than the
habit of saving something; but his little
hoard will soon begin to grow at rate
which will surprise and crafty him. Every
working man ought to have an account III
some savings bank, and should add toit every
week during which he has full employment,
even if the addition is but ii dollar at II time
If he does this, he will soon find the dollars
growing into tens, and these tens into hun
areds, and in little time will be in possession
of SUN which is constantly yielding an ad-
dition to his income, which secures linn ii
reserve fund whenever one is needed, and
vi ich will enable him to do many ihlngs,
which, without little money, he would be
powerIess to do.-PHsburyh Post.

MANuFACTURING NoTEs FOR GRANT.-The
work of stocking Mare Island with unskilled
wcrkmen, who, in consideration of being
paid the highest wages to do nothing. are ex-
pected to vote for Grant and Coghlan, goes
bravely on The number now on the
Island amounts to about fifteen hundred, and
daily accessions are being made to that mum
Der. Men who never handled plane in their
lives are put in the position OF first class
carpenters, and those who have all their lives
depended solely upon their muscle and en-
durance as means of support are placed in
positions of truth and responsibility heretofore
held by practical mechanics, who learned
their art only after long years OF patient toll
md the closest study Many of these work
men recently hired on the island do nothing
but loaf round while they study the scener,
of the hills, or whif' the invigora'ing breezes
of the bay This is indeed the lazy man :
paradise; the very Mecca of Incidence and
sIoth. But the authorities of Mare Island
are sadly mistaken if they suppose that the
men SO employed are bound over to support
The corruption of the present administration,
or are so dead TO he interest of Vallejo as to
deliberately cast their votes for John Cogh-
Ian. They are neither fools nor idiots, and
while they draw their pay they are laughing
in their sleeves at the stupidity and gull
ibity of their over confident employers.
You may control their labor, gentlemen,
with your money but you can't get their
votes. - Vallejo Independent.

THE GIRL FOR ME.

Just fair enough to be pretty,
Just gentle enough to be sweet,
just saucy enough to be witty,
Just dainty enough to be neat.
Just tall enough to be graceful,
just slight enough for fay.
Just dressy enough to be tasteful,
Just merry enough to be gay.
just tears enough to be tender,
Just sighs enough to be sad,
Times oft enough to remember,
Your heart through their cadence made glad
just meek enough for submission,
Just bold enough to be brave,
Just pride enough for ambition,
just thoughtful enough to be grave.
A tongue that can talk without harming.
just mischief enough to tease,
Manners pleasant enough to be charming
That put you at once at your ease.
Disdain to put down presumption,
Sarcasm to answer II fool,
Contempt enough shown to assumption,
Proper dignity always to rule.
Flight of fair fancy ethereal,
Devotion to science full psid,
Stuff of the sort of material
That really good house wives are made.
Generous enough to be kind hearted,
Pure as the angels above
Oh! from her may never be parted,
For such is the maiden love.

CARpET-BAGGER's s " onK-1 he revelations
made in the report of the Committee ION
Alleged Outrages in the Southern States"
of whom a majority are Republicans, though
probably falling short of the TRUTH will be
likely TO oasionish fiiir-minded men in the north.
From statistics given in this repor. it APP
pears that in the ten States where carpet bag
domination has had full sway their debts and
liabilities have been increased since the close
of the war by the enormous amount of more
than two hundred and forty millions of dol
lars. In Texas, which had no debt in 1861,
the present debt and liabilities amount to
SIT 900 900. Georgia in 1850 owed 49,
600 900. To-day its debt and liabilities
exclusive Of Sc 900 900 deemed fraudulent,
and which will probably not lie paid-sum
mp over S44 600, 600 South Carolinl has
increased its debt since 1861 from 81 00O,-
600 to $50 15S, ,914. Alabama's debt has
incrcaced since 1861 from less than Sc ,000,-
600 to more than S39 900 600. Arkansas,
under carpet-bag rule, has added nearly Sl6,-
900 900 to its debt. The little State of Flor
ida, whose total assessed value Of real and
personal estate only amounts to S32 ,4SO 81,
has had SIS $40 ,447 added to its indebl-
ment nee it has fallen into the hands Of
Grants friends Throughout the South the
same story is told.
Many Of the debts contracted in the re-
constructed States have been in aid of fraud
nlent schemes for pretended improvements.
Others have been incurred in orGer to give
these politicians oppori iunities to fill their
pockets by downright stealing Wherever
the rpet-baggers have had power there has
been, without exception, extravagant, waste
fnl expenditure and shameless acts of plum
der. And in order to keep these vultures in
control of affairs, Grant asks Congress to al
low him to use unconstitutional methods of
overawing the people by the exercise of mill
lary force, and his supporters endeavor to
procure legislation which will enable his cl ea-
lures to maninul,to 'hn halot hoves.

NUMBER 8.
WHAT WE VOTE AGAINST.

In a long and able article in Tilton's
Golden Age, thus briefly and tersely sums
up the reasons and objects for voting against
a continuance Of Grants Administrations:
president Grant expressed a natural
curiosity to leara what the country thinks Of
his Administration. He must be partially
blind indeed, if he does not see that nothing
but gratitude for his military services could
possibly keep the people from protesting in a
BODY against the manifold corruptions and
miscarriages Of his Administrations. In vot-
ing against him we protest against financial
policy which keeps one hundred and fifty
millions of gold locked up and useless in the
National Treasury, defrsudng the people
out of eight millions a year, at the least,
while officers and their friends grow unac-
countably rich in twelve-month. We vote
against the insult to international law and
the comfy of nations as well as the usurpa-
tions of power in his dealing with San
Domingo and Hayti. We vote against the
whole policy of lespotsm which has been
enforced in dealing with the Southern States,
treating them as conquered provinces, estab-
fishing governments essentially foreign over
them, and sustaining these carpet-bag gov
ernulents in a system OF robbery and oppres-
sion which has no parallel in modern times.
We vote against the systematic attempt to
array the colored people of the South as
race against the native white population,
making them regard the latter as their ene-
mics and exciting them to acts of antagonism
while inspiring them with spirit of hatred
and revenge We vote against degrading
the civil service of the country into matter
of personal fealtv and favortism, and the
systematic prostitution of the vast powers
and almost unlimited patronage of the gov
emment to secure the reelection OF a Presi-
dent whose administration is one vast tissue
of mistakes, frauds and usurpations, whose
foreign policy has made us laughing stock
among the nations, whose domestic policy
has we'll nigh driven our commerce
from the ocean, and whose extravaganza is
unexampled in our history. And with these
cogent reasons for voting against the re-elec-
tion of President who thinks more Of his
dogs than his duties, and who cares more for
his cigar and boon companions than for the
interests Of the nation, whose genius, wants
and possibilities he cannot comprehend there
is no need of our instiiuing inquiries into his
personal habits and private speculations.

Mostly comeout and indorse him, it is useless
