Thc Outlaws nnt the Reporters

This Thing Of "reporting" the
situation here through tic Northern news
papers Is getting TO bc au inLOIerablc
nuisance, and we would suggest 10 the
county authorities the propiicty Of putting
a stop to it, Let every stranger who goes
to ScullletOWu and companions with the
outlaws be arrested, and Il thorough eX-
animation had rs 10 the character Of his
mission.
We lave suffered enough already from
these so-callCd reporters, ddcciiCcs, ct III
OHulc loil scamps, and it is high time their
prankS were stopped. Who but these
same detectives and reporters have given
the outlaws the idea that SO long as their
depredalions are confined To Democrats OF
so-called Ku-kluX they viii De protected,
or at least tolerated by the government
Who but these same reporters and detec-
tves have united the almost unanimous
sentiment Of the cOlOrcd people III sympathy
with the outlaws rs lhc avengers Of the
wrongs of the ucglO race"
it IS Il notable fact that the visits OF these
intellOpCrs have always been followed by
renewed activity and boldncss On the part
of the band, who seem to derive iicw inspi-
ration from every such visit. These IGcn
! arc our cnemics-thc uns1upilotls ennis
saricS Of a malignant hate, and are even
more to bc dreaded tIlau Tie outlaws thcnl-
! selves. But for Tie support and encour-
! aCcmcnL received from abroad-from the
! federal government and especially from
! these vile cmiasaries from lhc North, this
! band would have been broken up long ago.
! ifthese reporters, who profess soInucll aston
! iohnent at the failure Of the people Of the
! county to arrest these men would tcllthcir
readers that they are supported i'll their
| lawlessness both by the state and federal
! governmental ,much Of lhe surprise awakened
| by these professions Of astonisIment would
be done away, and instead of pronouncnlg
the people Of Robcson "a county Of COW
ards" they would stimnatize the govern
ment that supports and encourages such
| fiendish lawlessncss-such wholesale rob-
berry and murder-as disgraceful 10 the
most barbarous nation on the face Of the

Farewell, a long farewell to ali my greatness !;
This is the state OF man: To-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope; tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honOrs thick upon him !;
The third day comes q frost, killing frost;
And when he thinks good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a ripening,-nips his root,
And then he falls as do have ventGr'd
Like little wantOn boys that swim on bla6tderS,
This many summers in a sea OF glory;
But far beyond my depth-my high-hlOwn pride
At length broke under me; and now has left me,
Weary and old with service, to the mercy
of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. "

Safe and Simple Remedy.

Scarlet fever-the red demon O. the
nurscry'-diptheria and other fatal dis
eases are now creating CONSERVATION
among the children in various parts OF
the country.-There is still another sly
and fatal disease which needs timely
watching, particularly at this season OF
the year-croup. A lady correspondent
of a popular agricultural journal gives the
following as an effective remedy for the
complaint. Half a teaspoonful of pull.
verzed alum, mixed with a little molasses.
The remedy is one almost always at hand
and, one dose sehiom fails to give relief

\ civil war of more than ordinary er-
tent has been for several weeks raging in
Mexico, the insurrection fonented bv
PROFIRIo DIAz having assumed the di.
mensions of a formidable rebellion. Tho
leaders of the troops of JUAREz are pres.
sing DIAz sharply. Defeated in the field
near Oaxaca he retreated into the latter
city, where he was, at latest advices. be.
sieged by the Federal Generals ALAIoR,
RACHA and FIGUERRA. The army sent
by DIAZ into Guerrero has also suffered
repulse at the hands of the government
troops. JUAREZ is now concentrating bis
strength against the chief of the threaten.
ing uprising against his authority. This
is certainly wise policy for him to pur-
sue, for with the downfall of DIAZ the
present revolution must come to an end
and, from the tenor of our latest Mexi.
can news, it is safe TO infer that DIAz
will find the grave of his ambition to rule
Mexico, if not his own sepulchere, at

OF the 593 ,5S6 tons of iron rails rolled
in this country in 1869, 3l9.653 tons, or
nearly five ninths, were made in Penn
sylvania, and in the year 1866, of the
595,3ll tons produced of rolled or ham
mered iron (other than rairoad), 242 ,92l
tons, or nearly three sevenths, were manu-
factured il this State. These figures show
how important the present protective tariff
is to the people of Pennsylvania, and how
many thousands of US are directly de-
pendent upon it.

A judicial opinion in relation TO wo.
man suffrage was delivered in Philadel-
phia last Saturday At the October elec.
tion Miss Carrie Burnham offered to vote
in the Fourteenth ward, but her ballot
was refused by the election officers She
thereupon brought suit to determine
whether or not she had a legal right to
vote, claiming this right under the Con-
stltutions of Pennsylvania and the United
States. The case was argued before Judge
Sharswood, who held the Nisi Prius
branch of the Supreme Court. His de-.
cision was adverse to Miss Burnham's
claim. The Judge says that he can find
nowhere in the Constitution declaration
that women may vote, but he does find
various parts and clauses which define
the duties and privileges of freemen in
such language as can only be applied to
men. The uniform construction of the
Constitution and laws, since the earliest
times, has been in accordance with the
doctrine that none but males have right
to vote. The question has been conclusi-
vely settled by the usage of the last two
hundred years. This decision apparent
Iy settles the matter in Pennsylvania for
the present. Judge Sharswood is we'll
known conservative, but his views are
doubtless shared by nearly al our judicial
authorities. To obtain the suffrage the
women must now work for expressly af-
frmatiyc legislation

s9~ The Wharton trial still drags its slow
length along at Annapolis A Professor
Toney, of Baltimore, was employed by the
prosecution to make chemical examination
OF the remains of Gen'l Ketchum's stomach
and this witness testified that he had
discovered positive proof of antimony, the
basis of tartar emetic. In this he corrobora-
ted Prof. Aiken, the same chemist who
furnished the proof in the Scheppe case at
Carlisle. But on Friday Prof. McCulloch.
formerly employed in the Mint, was called by
the defense and testified that the tests made
by the other chemists were insufficient and
delusive. He declared that the indications
of the presence of poison were nothing be-
yond what would result from the medicine
given 10 the deceased by his physician. This
puts brighter face on the case of Mrs.
Wharton, and will certainly cause any intelli-
gent jury to hesitate before condemning her.

Candies.

Usually about the holidays parents are
much given to lecturing children against
eating too much candy, because of the
"horrid coloring," but the simple state.
ment that piece of red coloring matter
the size of a gum drop will color five
thousand pounds of candy is sufficient to
show the fallacy of such ideas. People
may easily make themselves sick by eat
ing either TOO much candy or too much
pure sugar, but this "poison" is so "slow"
as to take longer than lifet time for i,s
action. Carmine and cochineal are useJ
for red, saffron for yellow, burnt sugar
for dark brown, and this with carmipe f.,
orange color. These are all the colors in
general use, except for decorating, where.
in the ordinary water r-color paints are
used, but in such in6nitesimal quantity
as to produce no bad effect, the proportion
being, we believe, less than one miilionth

y careful estimate of the probable
electoral vote for President next wear
shows a very decided Republican pre-
dominance. 1t is based upon the aIlot
ment of votes to the different States bv
the new apportioument bill The States
which have voted steadily in favor of the
Republicans since 1868 will cast lI3
electoral votes and those which have
been constantly Democratic will be en-.
titled to 90 electoral votes. There are
thirteen States which have been carried
by each party in turn, aud which will
really be contested next year. OF these
the Republicans carried four last fall, cast
ing 53 electoral votes and the Demo.
Gratis nine, casting G2 votes. 1t will re-
qulre lI9 electoral votes to make choice
OF President. 1t will therefore be only
necessary for the Republicans to obtain
SIX votes in addition to those they mag
certainly claim. To get these they NAV
look to California, Connecticut, New
hampshire, Louisiana, or New York. all
OF which are really Republican in their
politics. On the other band, it would be
necessary for the Democrats, in addition
to the States which now belong to them
to carry every one Of the thirteen contest
ed States to secure an election. There
are many sanguine men on that side Of
the ience, but study Of the figures and
tacts must convince them that in making
a light next summer aud fall they must
encounter certain failure
