John A. logon ought to be turned out
OF the church at once. He doesn't strag-
gle around with the delrium tremens on
him aa be used to do, but it is said that
he has gone to swearing again like
sailor. The day after Congress ad.
journed he bad special appointment to
meet Grant at the White House, and
talk over With him Logan's right to dis.
tribute the official plunder in Illinois.
but when he got there he found that
Grant was half way to Long Branch;
and this upon the very heels of Logan's
defence OF him against the attacks OF
Sumnerl It was too much. Pious lam
guage couldn't do the subject justice,
and Logan has since then hurled enough
damns at the head of Grant to build, if
they were bricks, house as Large as the
capitol. Snoh conduct is unbecoming q
member of the church. Let him be
kicked out at once.

Spies AND INFoRMKRs.-Oneo of the
curses inflicted by Radicalism upon our
country is the great army of low black
guards. detectives. still-house spies,
whiskey-smellers, sneaking informers,
&c. Daniel Webster once said that 1--WE
must look above the law and beyond the
law to the prevalence of we'll. principled
and enlightened public sentiment. ;.
Laws can only be enforced when they
are In accord with public sentiment.
Hence they must be wise. jnst and i'm
partial to meet the support of the peo.
pie. The test oath prostituted the
sacredness Of the oath and led to i'm
measurable perjury. The unjust tax
upon the industry OF the country has
led to blockade running and evasions of
the revenue laws. So spies are stuck
about in every neighborhood to watch
and report those who are trying to dodge
the unjust laws. Then there is another
set OF spies Of higher degree TO watch
the spies 'of lower degree. Then q
third set sailed supervisors, to watch the
second set, and 30 on and 30 on.
All this scum is born OF Radioalism.
In tho better days of the Republic. de-
tective was an unknown monster. Aspy
would have been looked upon with abso-
lutte horror. The Bible denounces the
whole dirty class of informers: "Thou
shslt not go up and down as tsle. bearer
among thy people," A system directly
opposed to the Bible must be all wrong,
and this system has been forced upon
the country by Radical corruption and
villainy. Homo. s3t

TIE HEBREW POPULATION OF THE
UNITED STATES. The Hebrew popula.
ton Of the United States is. year by
year. becoming larger. The persecu-
tions In Europe have induced many to
emigrate, and tho natural desire to enjoy
the unrestrained freedom of dwelling
and OF trading, and the attractive power
large body processing the same faith
always possesses, has drawn many others,
until now. by their intelligence, energy,
thrift and law-abiding conduct, to form
an important element in the population
OF all our great cities. AS compared
with England, there are several hundred
thousand; Israelites in the United States.
and only 80. 600 there; and immigrants
are constantly flowing in from Europe to
an extent that is little known. They
scatter on their arrival throughout the
United States. wherever they have pre-
vionsly determined, or wherever their
friends may persuade them. In Cali
fornia they are quite numerous and
widely diffused. In New Orleans and
other Southern cities. they are both
active and influential. Their numbers
chow, most in places. like New York and
Philadelphia. but they flourish in Gin
cinnati, Pittsbura. Chicago, st. Louis
and Baltimore. The influx of the race
from Europe goes on unnoticed because
they are not reported separately.

A PeriIOHs Season.

Glorious and delightful as the Summer wealth
er is, its tropical heat is Il severe trial to the
vital powers. Even the strongest are some
times Frustrated by lis effects The common
phrase applied to this condition of the body is
general debility" Now, general debility a.
rises from, ana includes variety of ailments
The liver Is more or less affected the bowels
are either conStlpated or too much relaxed, the
stomach but half performs the work of dipes-
ton, the appetite is poor, and the spirits de-
pressed. This is what is called general debili-
ty. 1t is a general disarrangement of all the
physical functions, and requires as a remedy
medicine that will regulate them ALL Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted to
this purpose. Its general operation is not con-
fined to single organ. If the liver is affected
it restores its tone. If the stomach is torpid it
regenerates it. If the nerves are tremulous and
weak it braces and reinforces them. If the
mind, which ever sympathizes with the body,
is gloomy and respondent it relieves the diff
Guilty and soon brings the whole mechanism of
the body into harmony with the laws of health
There is no civilized nation in the Western
Hemisphere in which the utility of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as a tonic, corrective, and an
ti-bilious medicine, is not known and appreci-
ated. Throughout the Tropics it is consider
ed, both by the people and the profession, the
standard specific While it is medicine for
all seasons and all climates, it is especially suit
ed to the complaints generated by the weather
being the purest and best vegetable stimulant
in the world.
Beware of the Bitters made of acrd and dan
gerous materials, which INSCRIPTIONS parties
are endeavoring to foist upon the people. Their
name is legion, and the public has no guaran--
tee that they are not poisonous. Adhere to
the tried remedy, Hostetters Bitters, sold only
in glass, and never in kegs or barrels.

IllfM0ia.

We are indebted to our late fellow-towns-
man, Mr.. Albert Williams, now residing at
Edwardsville, ILL.,, for pamphlet copy of the
Premium List, &c, of the Agricultural and
Mechanical Society of Madison county, ILL.,, and
for copies of Edwardsville newspapers. The
following brief extracts from one of the papers,
the Intelligencer, will serve as straws to show
which way the political wind is blowing in
Illinois:
UPrER ALroN.-Cheering reports reach us
from Upper Alton in regard to the Greeley
movement. It's stated that at least twenty
Eve per cent. of the Grant men have already
gone over to Greeley and Brown.
Still ON THE INcREksE.-On Saturday night,
at the courthouse, upwards of thirty odd
names were added to the Greeley and Brown
club list. Among the number were several
prominent Republicans. Still the good work
goes on.

The CoIored Schools.


The trustees of the schools for colored chill
dren were before our Board of School Commits
sioners on Tuesday last, and we learn that q
fair and satisfactory understanding was had
in reference to the management of the school
houses now in the possession of the colored
trustees. 1t is understood we believe that
these houses will continue to be used as here
tofere, for other than school purposes, except
during school hours. All houses erected or
rented by order of the Board fer the benefit Of
the colored people will, of course, come under
the regulations prescribed by law, which re-
quire that school houses under the exclusive
control of the Board shall be used for school pur
poses only. By this arrangement with the trus-
tees the houses they now hold will be used with
out charge for rent, and to that extent add to
the funds for educational purposes.

LCoMMUNICATED.1


Mr.. Editor am a reader and subscriber
to your paper so, also, am l a Democrat, but
not politician; in fact leave politics for those
who have more time and wit. But, to-day.
having read letter in your columns, address
ed to Hon. B. G. Harris, l was so filled with
establishment that write you few lines con-
corning it.
The first question asked myself, after read
ing the letter, was: What ais the man; is he
more loyal to his party than five-sixths of the
three millions of Democrats he speaks of? Is
he so heightened in principle that he refuses
help to do what he cannot do by HIMSELF
Great, indeed, must be his party-pride, when
he places it before the country's good Veri-
ly, he writes as one filed with anger-strikes
alike at friend and foe.
<The gentleman undoubtedly spoke without
thought when he charged the Baltimore Con-
vention with having sold the Democratic par
ty. charge SO unreasonably great, Tor great
ly unreasonable that it will not bear its own
weight, and an accusation new to most of us.
But if the gentleman, with a more subtle cum
ming than is ours, has discovered that our Con-
vention did sell their party, then certainly the
great party pride that seems to possess him
should make him keep his knowledge in his
pocket, for, if heis Democrat at all, he must
needs be Greeley Democrat. Just think what
an exposure he is making and how bad the
Convention men must feel Again, much talk
is made of Mr.. Greeley IS course before and dur
ing the war. Very true, he did shrek con to
Richmond true he did shout for 'tnegro free
DOM" But what of that? We all had our
cry; each of usAad our side. Suppose South
ern man had been nominated, would not many
Democrats have found fault with his cry?-
Evidently, such man could not be elected
Then, would not his defeat have insured US
four years more of Grants rule? To my mind
he seems to overlook the suferings of the South
You'read of their misery. Give them half a
chance for better day. Weknow that Grant
is terrible, we have tried him, no one can be
worse. We have many reasons for believing
that Greeley viii stand by his oath. Certainly
a change can do no harm. And I, for one am
willingly what the Convention has made me.
At this late day lit is worse than useless to at
tempt to check the torrent in its onward course.
1t is like crying over spilled milk. He won't
60 with the Democratic party, and he raves be-
cause the Democrats will not go with himl
Respectfully, S.

Vermont.

Notes Of encouragement in regard to the
Presidential contest reach US even from YER
mont. The Montpelier Argus announces the
appearance Of crack in the hitherto impene-
trable shell of Grantism in that State. So
rapid and all absorbing is the spread of the
Liberal movement that even the candidates of
the Grant party are now suspected of lean
ing toward Greeley and Brown and the Rut-
land County Committee are so exercised on
the subject that they have addressed letter
to all the local candidates, questioning them
as to their loyalty. Hon. w. T. Harrabin,
of Bennington, has written graceful and man
ly letter, endorsing the nomination of Mr..
Gardner for Governor 10 the strongest terms,
and entirely conciding with the preference of
a Liberal Republican candidate by the con-
vention, and General Fitzpatrick is putting
the spurs into Grant in the most unmerciful
manner. When such things take place in
Vermont, what may not be expected in other
portions of the Union?

Delaware.

A mass meeting Of the Democracy of Kent
county, Delaware, for the purpose of ratify-
ing the nomination of Greeley and Brown,
was held in Dover on the 18th instant. It
was monster gathering, fully equal to any
ever convened in the State, and particularly
significant from the men in attendance. John
Hall presided, and addresses were made by
Hon. Charles Brown, Hon. Eli Salisbury,
Hon. Benjamin T. Biggs and Mr.. Temple, of
Philadelphia. The speakers all said they
would support Greeley and Brown. An in
teresting letter was read from Ex-Governor
Salisbury, in which he says he will give his
support to the Baltimore nominees.

Can't. Fantz and the rsshinx Law.

In our lastissue we inserted an extract from
the Alexandria GGesas, giving Capt. Fantz's
version of the recent capture Of bis fishing
barge 10 the Wicomico river, wishia tbe juris-
diction, of this county. We have since been
able to learn the full particulars of the affair.
The only part of Capt. F.'s statement that is
true is, 'that he was captured BY party Of
armed men and carried to the head Of Neale's
Creek" So far from RAINING in the Wicom-
leo to harbor out of storm, every person in
the vicinity can bear witness that there was
no storm that day; but that Capt. Fantz had
been hauling on the Potomac that day IN vic.
lation of the law, and had moored bis vessel
in the Wicomico and sent bis seine boat up
the river, where bis men were engaged in
hauling at the time of the capture. The law
prohibits non-residents from hauling o seine
on the Potomac within Eve hundred yards Of
the beach, also in any of the creeks and inlets
within the county. The capturing party were
rather remiss in leaving the vessel in charge
of the Captain, the night after the capture, and
trusting to his word Of hopor not TO attempt
an escape. The absence of the vessel the
next morning proved to them not only their
mistake. but how little Capt. F. valued bis
plighted word. 1t is the subject of much re-
greet with our citizens that Capt. r. was ena-
bled to make his escape, as, we understand
be has been denouncing the Law as worthless
and void, and does not hesitate to threaten
armed resistance against any attempt to cap
tare him under its provisions.

We have seen q private letter from the
Hon. B. G.. Harris to gentleman of this
county, IN which be mentions that "the Port
Tobacco Times publishes the Sum- criticism"
of bis letter to Col. Watkins, and complains
that il was unfair not to publish the letter ALSO
While we felt that we were under no special
obligations to publish the long letter of Mr..
HARRIS yet, II it had been convenient to have
done so, we would have given it an inser-
tion-more out of personal regard, however,
for the distinguished gentleman than for any
respect we have for the position he occupies
10 relation to the political issues now before
the country. The article in question from the
San, we thought, gave the gist of the letter,
and the "criticisms" thereon met with our
hearty approval. The position which the
Times has taken was not assumed without
mature deliberation. We stand with the great
mass of the Democratic party, and aim with
the conservative portion of the Republicans
to remove from power those who have so fire.
quently and fagrantly violated that vital prin-
ciple of the Democracy-local self-govern-
ment-and inflicted so many evils upon the
poor Southern people, for whom our deepest
sympathies have been excited. Mr.. Harris
evidently thinks himself better and more
consistent Democrat than such men as Voor-
hees, Rayard, Black, Salisbury and host Of
other leading spirits of the party, whose re-
cord is unsu,lied. These patriotic men all
support the Greeley and Brown ticket. If,
however, Mr.. Harris vehement denunciations
Of such patriots are proof of bis superior
claims, then be is better and more consis-
ent Democrat than they are. We do not
question the purity Of Mr.. Harris motives or
the honesty of his opinions, but we do think
the propriety Of his course very questionable.
Acting with a mere handful of radical, fire.
eating, strait Jacket disorganizers, who pro-
pose to 60 to Louisville on the Sd Of Septem-
Der to nominate third ticket, Mr.. Harris is,
to our vision, only lending "aid and comfort"
to the radical Republican party. This re-
minds US of the fact that sometimes 'textremes
meet" for evil, just as they did when Fire
eaters and rabid Abolitionists sought to sever
the Union, though each party was actuated
by an opposite motive. The only practical
result of the Louisville meeting (if it can have
any effect at ally will be to re-elect General
Grant. Why then should we be expected to
publish Mr.. Harris peculiar views at length,
when We know, too, that so few of our read
ers accord with hims Our space is necessa-
rily limited, and feeling it duty as we'll as a
pleasure TO do 30. we devote all we can to the
great objects of Reconciliation and Peace and
TO that prominently Democratic principle,
Local Self-government, to which Greeley and
Brown are pledged, and which, by the votes
Of true Democrats and Conservatives, they
will faithfully carry out in the administra-
ton Of the government after the 4th of March
next.
