SAVING OFF THE LIMB.-Speaker Blaine tells
us that seventeen different times during the
last session of Congress the Democrats preven-
ted the passage of the Civil Rights bill of Mr..
Sumner by flibustering with the use of parlia-
mentary tactics. The passage of this bill for
the further securement of the rights of the
colored people, has been the idol of Summers
heart and the aim of his labors in the Senate.
Yet Mr.. Sumner advises the colored people to
vote for Horace Greeley and Congress of the
same political shade in preference to President
Grant.
How can Mr.. Sumner conscientiously advise
colored men to support Horace Greeley when
he knows that the votes that will elect Greeley
President will place Democratic majority in
Congress? Is he now anxious to have his Civ
il Rights bill passed and become a. law? If SO,
does Mr.. Sumner pretend to say that the men
who used diligently the only means they had
in their power of defeating it will vote for it
when they have majority in the House? If
he has any pretentions to claim this, he has
less political wisdom or less conscientious mo-
tives to guide his actions than the great man
has had ascribed to him hitherto, even by
Democrats
You cannot find Democratic candidate for
Congress in the whole land who will announce
himself as favorable to Mr.. Summers BILL
How then can he clairn.to be faithful to him
self and the colored people and advise them to
saw off the limb upon which they stand p
When the limb is sawed off they must fall, and
their Civil Rights, as set forth by Mr.. Sumner,
falls with them.

A TERRIFIC FLoOD. very terrific and DANA
ging flood was caused by showers on Friday last,
which passed over the wnship Of Brookdale and
vicinity, on or near Snake creek, Susquehanna
county. A very dark, heavy cloud Lung over
the mountains toward Silver lake Tor long time
about noon OF that day, causing all the streams
from that direction 10 come tearing into the val
ley in a manner never known before, and swelling
Snake creek into proportions unprecedented, caus-
ing an unwonted scene of death and destruction.
Two dwelling houses and two barns were swept
away at the junction OF Rineys creek and Snake
creek near the acid factory. One of these dwell
lings was occupied by Mrs. Washburne and tam
lily, who, fortunately, were absent and escaped
The other was occupied by Mr.. Owens. Mrs.
Owens and four children were in the house at the
time, and two Of the children, one daughter Of
about 10, the other d child of or years, were
drowned. Mrs. Owens and Jacob Chalker were
rescued from the food both in an inseusible con-
dillon, and it was with difficulty that they could
be resuscitated. Mr.. Chalker thus peried his
life in attempting to rescue Mrs. Owens who
caught hold of him in such manner as TO cause
them both to be drawn under. Families were
separated on each side of the creek, each frantic
with doubt as to the safety of the other, and all
were almost wild with terror and excitement
Every bridge on Snake creek and most OF its
tributaries, from Franklin Forks to where it flows
into the Susquehanna river at Corbeusville, was
swept away. Six bridges were destroyed in the
township of Liberty. The loss in crops, washed
land, fences and other farming prop riy is very
great, much OF which is utterly destroyed. Moth
ing of the kind, within the memory of the present
generation OF that vicinity has ever visited them
that is comparable with it in terror and destruc.

HONEST HORACE ExPLAINEs 1.-THE Democrats
tell Us that they were cheated out of North Caro-
lima. We can disprove this charge by placing
their own candidate on the stand as a witness
Honest Horace Greeley tells. us in the Tribune
that Georgia and Louisiana were made to vote
against Grant and Colfax ia 1868 by violence and
terrorism North Carolina and Alabama were
last year (ls7o) carried Democratic by kindred
performances, ard 1t is calculated that most Of
the lately rebel States may be so carried in 1872
at the cost of more than ten thousand midnight
whippings and two or three hundred iives.'
This appeared in the Tribune May Sd, ls7l.-
Honest Horace then says that "North Carolina
was carried Democratic in 1870 By uiolence ana
terrorism" Yet when the Democrats attempted
iusls7l to call a constitutional convention, ii
was defeated by the Republicans by majority Of
9,345 votes. In 1871 the Democratic organiza-
tion-the Ku-Klux-was broken up by the Uni
ted States governments and the chief actors in
the premises sent to recreate in the Albany pene-
tentiary by Judge Bond. The terror Of the Ku-
Klux was removed from their last election. Re-
pubIicans could vote unintimidated by this band
of outlaws. Hence men voted their own senti-
ments, and the result was the return of the State
to Repubicanism as it stood before the Ku-Klux
placed it in Democratic hands.

Put the Voters on Record.

The work of seeing that every Republican
who is unregistered and who is entitled to vote
at the election in November devolves in point
of duty upon every Republican in the county.
About the middle of September the work of
placing upon the voting lists the names ofthose
persons who have arrived at legal age since
the last registration and who have come into
the particular voting district or precinct since
last election and six months prior to the COM
ing one. Besides the placing these new names
upon the list the names of all those persons
who have died and removed permanently from
the district or the county are to be stricken off
the list. The object of these requirements of
the law is to prevent fraud. They require that
the names of all who are entitled to vote shall
be upon the list, and the names of those not en-
titled shall be stricken off.
Since last election there are numbers in al
most every locality of the county, who have
become voters. They must have their names
placed on the voting list during the days the
register sits for that purpose, or else they will
be unable to vote on election day. Many peo-
pie who are entitled to register will never think
of it unless some one calls their attention to it.
This is not confined to the non-reading class of
voters by any means. Folks who take the
papers and have every means ard facility of
keeping themselves informed about what is
going on frequently overlook this important
business.
So, Republicans, it is the duty of every one
of you to look about among your neighbors and
see who is a new voter and have him go and
be registered. Some may think this is rather
early to call attention to this matter But we
do it in order to have the lethargic aroused to
a sense of their duty and to keep them wide
awake in regard to it. Unless a diligence is
exerted by at least two or three active men in
every locality, there will be sure to be some
who will be left unregistered when the books
are closed
There are some who will need urging to get
them to perform their duty. They will not
want to lose half day in going to the registers
Office. They will be afraid of giving offense to
their employer, and things of this kind. These
will be presented as excuses. These excuses
must be met. The voter must be urged to do
his duty. He will do it if he is. If he is not
some will stay at home in obedience to the half
threatened wish of his employer. twill take
diligence, perseverance and industry to accom-
plish the work.

N9-The following is from a leading New
York German:
"They charge Grant with centralism. Do
they again confound nationalism with central
ism? Have they not yet learned from history
and our own times that the Democracy is al
ways inclined toward absolutism and depot
ism? All State Rights men, even Mr.. Calhoun
he was my personal friend-were severe CEN
tralists with their States. Their idea OF proper
Government in the United States was only the
utmost possible State opposition to the Nation
al Government just as it had occurred in the
Netherlands. Still you may possibly object to
this the question whether the Democrats have
not led this country to glorious development.
l totally deny it. The country has grown great
despite of that which is Enthusiastically DEM
ocratic elective judiciary, disregarding the Su-
preme Court, distribution of national funds, re
pudiation, State Rights doctrine, idolatry of
slavery, and civil war of which fairly began
to resemble the German thirty years war
With reference to the Democrats and the sue
cess of this country we have the same old and
ever-repeated error in logic-because things
exist together therefor they stand as cause and
effect to each other. Storks love the frogs of
the Netherlands, and on every farmers house
is stork's nest. The Netherlands was Re-
public therefor it used to be said, 'Storks like
Republics"
We are told things ought to be forgotten.-
What have the Republicans done? Has one
traitor been tried? Has ever people shown
such absence of vengeance as the Union people
of the United States have done? If, as pray
God to avert, the Democrats come i'll again un-
der Greeley it requires no prophet to fortell that
we shall see a very different spirit on the part
of the victorious Democrats. l shall vote for
Grant.
Your obedient servant,
