$3.50 for President Buc-
hanan and $4,000 for
Grant.
In Congress, few days ago,
Hon. Fernando Wood OF New
York, contrasted the expenses
Of Buchanan's time with those
Of Grant. While the former
was content with $3.50 worth
of stationery for the use of the
Executive Mansion, the latter
calls for $4,000 worth. The
expenses of collecting the Gus
toms now were $9,000,000 pei
annum, against 100000 ten
years ago, and so on to the end
of the chapter Of extravaganza
and corruption Of the party in
power.

The Spring EIcctions.Ss

We call the attention of the
Democracy of the various town
ships of Vinton county to the
approaching Spring Elections.
The great quadrennial political
contest is near at hand, in
which the patriotism, the pru-
dence and the wisdom of the
people will he brought into
requisition. There are two
forces at work-diverse in pur-
pose and in politicalS lStheory.
The one, is seeking to destroy
the reserved rights of the
States and consolidate all power
in q Central Autocrat, with un-
limited control over the army,
the navy, the public treasury
and the country. The other
force antagonizes all these po-
litical schemes, and insist on
preserving the reserved rights
of the States and local self
government, when the Central
Government shall exercise the
authority conceded to it by the
States and none other, that life,
liberty and property may be
secure. A proper organization
at this time will have a healthy
influence on the result this fall.
We hope the Democracy Of
the various townships, will
lose no time but hold their
nominations at an early day,
by selecting the very best men
in the party for candidates,
and then organize and secure
their election by an increased
majority over the last election.
Be vigilant, for the enemy are
busy, and will leave no means
untried to secure an advantage.
Let harmony and good will be
cultivated by all, for liberty is
at stake, and if lost now may
never be regained.

An investigation committee
has gone to New Orleans to
see what white-washing of
President Grant is necessary in
that part Of the political vine
yard. 1t is n huge undertake
ing to cover up the dark spots
of Federal usurpation there
but the Radical majority oi
the committee will no doubt
be fully equal to the undertak
ing. Investigating committees
seem to be above par at tht
present time, but the only ei
fectual one will be that of tn,
people acting as a mass com
mittee, turning the Radica
yascals out of Office. Such
committee will need no white
wash.

General Butler still bankers
after the gubernatorial chair Of
Massachusetts. He announ.
ces himself as a candidate at
the next election, and the dis
gusted citizens who buried
their plate and silver spoons in
anticipation Of his possible
election last fall, have ceased
to exhume them, fearful Of the
contingencies that the future
may yet hold in store. Truly
the citizens of the Bay State
have to suffer a grievous pun
ishment for encouraging such
men as Ben. Butler.

Judge BrinkeThOff Pro-
MOuMces AGAINST Grant.

In a most vigorous letter,
which we print in this paper
Hon. Jacob Brinkerhorf pro-
nounces in favor of the Liberal
Republican movement. Tn
referring to this letter, the Gin.
cinnati Commercial says truly,
that Judge Brinkerhoff is well
known throughout the State as
one Of our ablest and purest
men, who, for fifteen years, was
eminent as one Of the Judges
Of our Supreme Court, and du,
ring the last five years before
his voluntary retirement, its
Chief Justices
Judge Brinkerhoff has no
sore head that he is nursing
He is no disappointed Office
seeker; but be arrays himself
against President Grants re-
nomination, because he is un-
worthy Of the place, and be-
cause his administration has
not been sneh as to rebound to
the honor Of the country Or the
prosperity ofits people.
When such men as Ex>Gov.
Cox, Stanley, Matthews, Hon.
j. B. StaElo and Chief Justice
Brinkerhof cut loose from the
Radical party, it is for causes
that should array the whole
people against it.

General Butler has adduccd
the strongest argument yet
presented against the removal
Of the Capitol. He remarked 7
in speech the other day that
Washington was an unhealthy
place, and il the capitol re-
mainel where it was, there
would be a large percentage Of
morality among Congressman.
If, By any known means tho
per centage Of morality could
be increased so as to include
Butler and other Radical
thieves, it might he bailed as
the dawn of the political mil
lennillm.

Senate, last week. Morton Of
Indiana, said "the Democracy
was a Kangaroo party-its

the Cincinnati Commercial an

Campaign.

as unheeded on prejudiced ears
as the idle whistle of'a plough

white men of the South who
are nearly as helpless and hope
less under Radical and carpet.
bag rule as were the slaves of
the South, before the days of
emancipation, and with a sneer
you hear from one half the
people 'served them right. =
But there is a note which will
and can thrill the masses. 1t
is financial reform.
The recent developments in
the New York Custom-house,
showing more corruption than
the bitterest enemies Of Grants
administration has thought
existed-the nepotism of Grant
his connection with Cor bin,
Leet and the Seneca Stone
Company jobbers-the fact that
federal office-holders, nearly
everywhere, are in collusion
with thieves and robbers, and
that the people are victimized
by the very servants who
should guard and protect their
interests, demands that an out.
ragged public should at once
sink all other considerations
and 90 to work to rescue the
country from the spoilsmen,
and restore the government to
those who will administer it
with more honesty, economy
and purity.
The Democratic party is
emphatically the party of Re
form. When it was discovered
that a corrupt ring of Tam
many politicians in the State
of New York was robbing and
plundering the people of the
metropolis, such men as Sey-
mour, Hoffman, Church, Til
den and other prominent Dem
ocratic leaders, put the knife
to the throat of Tweed, Connel-
Iy, Sweeney and other public
robbers. The wisest of the
Democratic leaders were push
ed to the front and battled until
the corruptionists fell. The
fact that it crushed the thieves
in its own ranks, though the
fight for the time being, lost
the party a great State, shows
the sense Of right and justice
of our party-its enmity to-
ward all political dishonesty.
Let the good work go on! The
Twecd's and the Connelly's Of
New York are in a fair way
for the Penitentiary! Now let
blows be aimed for a general
crushing out of the big scoun-
drels who are stealing our ma
tional domain, the Syndicate"
Of thieves who are robbing our
National Treasury-the big
and the little villains Of the
Radical pit Of corruption! Let
the peopIe--honest men, join
ing hands with honest men,
open the grand campaign of
1872 by fighting a bribe taking
President, and the men who
have stolen the South into
bankruptcy, and whose frauds
in collecting the revenue are
so startling and glaring as to
awaken astonisTment, not only
in this country but in Europe.
Let the people see to the over.
throw of Grant and his asso-
ciates like Lcet, Stocking, Ben.
Butler and others, and they
will have done themselves and
their posterity an everlasting
good,

A Strange Scene in Church.

The following story, which is pub
lished in the Albany Evening Journal
is quite true in every particular:
''On Sunday morning last, much tu
the SURPRISE and Indignation of the
congregation, Horace Greeley, ac-
companied by George n. Saunders
and Theodore TiltOn, walked into
Rev. DR.. Chapin's church, taking
seats in Mr.. Greeley's pew. 1t was
soon known that the notorious traitor
who was Matching conspiracies in
Canada during the whole of the re-
belliOn W. Mr.. Greeley's guest, and
an expression of disgust was manifest
in almost every counIenance, for in
our whole city there is not a congre-
CATION more distinguished for its in
telligence and loyalty than this one.
Nor did the circumstance fail to at
tract the attention and the rebuke of
the eminent and eloquent pastor,
whose patriotic heart must have
burned with indignation to see q man
who had conspired to burn our city
and assassinate our President thus
openly and sbamelessly patronized
by prominent member of his con-
SI6SdllOu.
This man, Saunders, who was wan
dering in Europe until Greeley's
nomination for President, was guest
at recent political breakfast to aid
Greeley's election, where he met
Erastus Brooks and others of that
stripe.
The incendiary who burns a single
dwelling goes to State Prison, while
George n. Saunders, who conspired
to burn the whole city of New York,
and whose agents actually kindled
fires simultaneously in several parts
of the city, is not only Mr.. Greeley's
intimate political friend and suppOr-
ter, butts the recipient of public hos
pitalities in q city from which lie
should be promptly and Indignantly
banished."

Character of Modern Preachers

The pulpit, as it has come down to
us, has had an extraordinary history.
For enc reason and another it has, in
many periods of time, been almost
the exclusive source of knowledge
among the common people. Before
books were either plenty or cheap
before the era of the newspaper, the
magazine. or the tract-before knowl-
edge was poured in, as now from
hundred quarteTs-an era almost
flooded with it, the people imbiblng
it, so to speak, through the very
pores of their skln-the pulpit was
the school. tile legislative hail, the
court of law; in short, the university
of the common people. Many ele-
ments ofsuecess III one age, by change
of circumstances cease to be operative
in another. Preaching will be proper
or improper, wise or successful, in
special wants of the different
people, and the different classes Of
people, in any one time. It may be
said, in general, that the length and
breadth of topics will be in inverse
ratio to the civilization and refine
ment of the people; that is to say,
the pulpit in a rude neighborhoOd,
where all the knowledge Of the peO-
pie will mainly be derived from it,
must cover a broader ground, and
must instruct the people in a hundred
different things, which, in civilized
and refined communities, they learn
from other sources. As refinement
increases, the tax laid upon a minis
ter's resources angmeIts immeasura-
bly,. In order to maintain authority
and influence, he must not be behind
his own auditory. If knowledge is
increasing among his people, every
year will require him to develop new
resources. l do not think there is
any profession that demands so much
of a man as that of the Christian

From Gov. Moves, tof ohio Speech


Elect that vain. vacillating old man,
Mr.. Greeley, whom bad men will
control and what will become of the
best interests of the country? When
we elected Grant we took debt OF
millions that some said must be
repudiated. But under him we have
reduced it at the rate of one hundred
millions year. Who could do better
than this? Could the Demo cratic
thieves who have made the debt of
New York, and are now Greeley's
warmest supporters, do better? Work
ingmen, L am one of you. When
fourteen years old cut my first cord
ofswamp maple on farm, and kept it
up until when, in later years, 1 learned
the printers trade. / am a working
man, and care more Tor working
men than for men of millions of
money. Elect Greeley and what be-
comes of our foreign debt? Here at
home our greenback dollar that is
paid you every Saturday night is
worth twenty per cent. more than
when, Grant was elected. Working
men you are surely interested in the
election of Grant, the tanner, and
Wilson, the shoemaker, whose life has
been given to the elevation of his
fellowmen of all shade and color and
condition.
