DUTY.-It is but seldom that we call the at.
tention of the public to our business through
the newspapers, and We would not on this occa.
sion but that We feel it our duty to do So The
times are close, especially with farmers, and We
have determined to make our prices on goods to
correspond with the times, .. least for the next
six months. For this reason we believe it our
duty to advise the people of our determination,
80 that they can take advantage of the low price
at which We sell Boots and Shoes, Hats and
Caps and Groceries: As the profit on goods will
be teo small to allow US to give any time on
purchases, our terms must necessarily be strictly
cash. LYNCH, BEATTY & O'KASE.

THE CONTEMPLATED FRAUDS.


The Pittsburg Commercial says
That stupendous frauds with forged
naturalization papers, manufactured
in Philadelphia, have been arranged
for by Mcclure and Randall, there
is no manner of doubt. One thou
sand of these papers have been sent
to Clarion county alone. That a
market has been made for them
there is evident from the fact that
in Richland township alone, in that
county, when last year the Domo-
Gratis cast I57and the Republicans %
votes, the Democrats hare register
ed one thousand u0tes, $50 of them
having been added in the last ten
days. In other counties, q similar
state of things has been detected.
But these attempts at fraud will.
measureably at least, be frustrated,
detectives having been put Oh the
track. Republicans are fully warn
led, and preparations made to bring
to justice every scoundrel who at
tempts to vote fraudulently. For
every offense there will be tenant
in the penitentiary. .4a q.

THE MACON RIOT.

The Cincinnati Gazette says the
brief dispatch giving the account of
the serious trouble at Macon on
election day deserves thoughtful at
tention. 1t is significant, as show
ing the feeling that exists toward
the colored people of the South on
the part of some, ut least, of their
old masters, and as prophesy of
the state of things that would arise
should the party of reactionists sue
ceed. While it is unquestionably
true that many in the South have in
good faith accepted the issues of
the war, it is equally true that many
have not. The men,. thousands in
number, who were banded together
in the Ku-Klux organization, and
whose atrocities were such as to ap-
pal the nation, are not dead yet, nor
changed in spirit. The are anima,
ted by the same hostility to the
Union and to the black now US two
years ago, and they need but the en-
couragement they would derive from
the success Of the Democratic party
to resort again to the whip, and the
knife, and the rope. Under the firm
hand of President Grant, these out
RACES have happily in great measure
or wholly ceased. Should the De-
mocracy succeed, a new reign of
blood and outrage would begin. The
men who were guilty two years ago
would construe the verdict of the
nation as direct rebuke of the pol
icy of the Republican party toward
the South, and they would resume
with fresh zeal their horrible work.
The course Mr.. Greeley has pursued
in his speeches would give them
fresh encouragement. For whereas
the Cincinnati movement was avow-
edly inaugursted on the basis of
civil service and tariff reform, Mr..
Greeley has deliberately wrested it
from its early significance, and has
proclaimed its chief purpose to be
reconciliation, albeit he is the man
who, above most others, is respons
ible for the Legislation that his sup
porters now claim to be the chief
cause of dissatisfaction in the South.
The Macon riot is but a foretaste
of Others to come if Greeley is
elected President. Is the nation
prepared to witness this result? Is
it prepared to contribute to it?
