Democratic Organs,

The Democratic Journals still keep
their old game of lying and vitupera-
tiou at work, just as though the people
of this state at the ttate election by a
majority of 10000, and at the presden-
tial election 10000 majaority, had not
set to their seal as lying ministry, in
language to plain TO be mistaken. ave
know you gentlemen to be liars, and SLAM
ders, we take nc stock in your only stock
in trade to wit: Unmitigated talsehood. y
One says of the President that he is
weary of Long Branch, and american
things generally, that he is going to
Europe next summer because his son and
daughter met with a hearty reception
there this las. season. Now nobody but
Democratic organs knows anything about
tie President going to Europe next SUM-
mer, not even the President himself. and
all there is about it is Democratic CUES
sing, and the Democratic guess is always
lie.
Another says Of Gen. Hen, our
worthy State Auditor General that he
was sinister in the army during the war,
and all we have to say to the cowdardly
SANDER is that it is lie made out of
whole cloth, not word of truth in it,
as every soldier, and honorable, and truth
loving civilian knows, such lie is hard
ly worth passing notice, ,yetIwe waste pa.
per and ink enough to simply designate
it by its true character and that is a
wholesale falsehood. Every sensible
Democrat, and every intelligent Demo-
cratic organ knows that the Democratic
party is dead. Then why this fuss and
bluster over the carcass of what was once
live controlling element in American
politics? Slavery was at one time the
life and soul of the Democratic party,
when that went under every thing upon
which the party relied for power disap-
peared. The orators and oracles of the
party could no longer wax eloquent about
this peculiar institution as the gift of the
fathers of the Republic to the people.
They laid much stress on the word "pe-
culiar," ih using it, in regard to slavery,
as if it ment more when so used, and as
thoug b it relieved the institution of one
whit of its barbaric meanness. Well
slavery being dead, the skeleton carcass
Of the Democracy, uow aud then utters
groan over what it once was, to wit, a
great, very great political party, and
would likesto make believe that it is yet
But when did Gen. Grant tell a Demo-
crat editor or orator that he was going to
Europe? That American scenery had
lost its charms? Or that he earnestly
desired to be lionised by Europeans?
These gentlemen don't know, for the
best reeson in the world Gen. Grant
las never intimatcd any such thing, not
even to his most intimate friends. Upon
the whole it is somewhat amazing to
see and hear these Democratic whifi'7
caper and bark and snarl while the great
Republican party moves on, not even
pausing to say get out.

were earnest in providing for the tenn

will probably be arrested tomorrow, as
facts have been developed tonight which
seem to prove that there was premed-
itated plan on the part of these three
men to kill Botticher.
Mrs. Cronenbold is the widow of the
late County Judge Cronenbald, a man
of wealth and position, and all par
ties, except Botticher, are highly con-
nected.
FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE MURDER.
ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 10.
Further developments regarding the
murder of Richard Botticher, by young
Cronenbold, yesterday, are to the effect
that Botticher had seduced Miss Cronen-
bold; that their marriage was favored
by Mrs. Cronenbold on this account, and
that young Cronenbold murdered Bot
ticher to ayenge the wrongs done his
sister.
Botticher was thirty-five years old.
He had been employed by Mrs. Cronen-
bold as cGachman, and is alleged to have
won the affections of Miss Cronenbold
and effected her ruin, last summer, dur
ing the absence of her brother in Europe.
Miss Cronenbold is only sixteen and her
brother twenty-five years of age.

Attempted bank Robbery.

An attempt to rob the Second Nation
al Bank of Elmira, was accidentally
frustrated last Saturday night, in the
following manner: ID. r. Pratt, presi-
dent of the bank, having occasion to
enter the bank vault during the evening,
discovered some brickdust that had
fallen in from above, through crack
between the iron plates. Thinking the
circumstance suspicious, Mr.. Pratt W en-
up stairs to the rooms of the Young
Mems Christian Association, which are
in the bank building. DR.. Hart, presi-
cent of the association, was there, and
the two lOosened the carpet in the south
east corner OF the room and discovered
that portion of the floor had been
taken up and screwed together. Re
moving the board, they were astounded
to see that the solid masonry of the arch
of the bank vault, made of brick, stone
and cement, had been almost entirely
removed, at least two cart loads having
been carried away. The iron plates of
the vault were laid bare, and in the hole
thus made were found full set of bur-
glars tools, a number of iron wedges,
eight cans of powder, two rubber sacks,
and curiously contrived jack-screw,
which was in position to raise the plates
of the vault. DIR. Hart said that there
had been several strange men in attend
ance at the reading room of the associa-
ton for a week or two, who were al
ways the last to leave One of these
was found at the foot of the stairs when
Mr.. Pratt went down, and was at once
taken into custody. He said he was
from Boston, and in his possession were
found 1855, a fine gold watch, and two
heavy chains. He denied any knowl-
edge of the attempted burglary. Sew
eral suspicious persons, who were stop
ping at the Elmira House, have disap-
peared, leaving their bills unpaid. s,-..

DIFFICULT SURGICAL OPERATION. Dir
VIM. M. Huntington, of Rochester, has
got his name up for remarkable surgical
skill. A year or two ago he made over
two hideously deformed mouths, one in
Vermont, and the other coming to him
from Massachusetts,. The operations
were entirely successful. Last week,
Mial Pinney, of Pittsfield, while climb
ing in the barn, suddenly ruptnred him
self, producing what proved TO be
strangulated hernia. Persistent efforts
were made during the night to replace
it but without success. The next morn
ing, all other means having failed, and
as this was the only hope of prolonging
life beyond few hours, DR.. Hunting
ton, assisted by Drs Brigham and Rich
mond, operated by cutting down upon
the tumor through the walls of the abb
domen, charging the opening through
which the intestine had escaped, and re-
placed it. The operation, which was a
difficult and dangerous one, lasted nearly
an hour, but was entirely successful, and
Mr.. Pinney, at this writing, seems in
fair way to recover.
