The tone and style Of this papers re-
ferences to chat large class of orr citi.
zens who oppose and denounce III G
usurping government Of this State, ex-
pose diabolical audacity and mal;e-
nifty which exceed all bounds of news
paper license.
The great body of the white popula-
ton of this State are daily insulted and
reviled in the columns of a paper sup
ported by the taxes extorted from them,
as mere band of Office seekers. as ef-
fe tie pretenders to a responsibility
which, is fictitious as lacking in canac-
ity, and unworthy to exercise any of
the rights of freemen, and only fit to
be governed by carpet-bag plunderers
and their negro tools. Age, intell-
gence, long residence, moral worth and
wealth, are held up in its columns as
lisqualificntions for public office, for
even the right to participate III or in
fuence the government of the State.
The triumph, by whatever means, of
the Radical faction, is assumed to be
the ostracism ofall virtue, honesty and
decency from the government. The
new civilization demands other quail
ties. Open an d audacious plumber,
systematic and universal venalty; the
enrichment of rings of Office holders-
mostly characterless vagabonds and adj
yenturers the confscation ofthe prop
erty of the thrifty, Of the earnings of
industry, and the rapid absorption of
all the means of the people, by parti-
san placemen, and the installation of a
gross and corrupt partlsanship, looking
to their objects, i'll place of the Consti-
tuition and the written law
This is the radicalism, of which the
Republican is the fit champion, and for
which it every day pours forth upon
this people a stream of vulgar ribaldry
and insolent fippancy. Such mode of
dealing with the serious issues pending
in this State may serve to encourage
the audacity and stimulate TO public
outrage, the rascalIy usurpers who now

To tell only halt the truth, is as
potent sometimes as a square false
hood. To demonstrate this wo will
quote from the midwife who prosidcs
ovor tho columns of the Times. This
truth telling, O refined, shrewd and
intellectual giant, last week, in allud-
ing to US, perpetratcd the following:
ave give him credit of being smart enough to
oust Mr.. Bradley out OF the commissioner Office
at salary Of $500 and he step in at 81 600 This
was done to save to the Taxpayers Of the county
5000 by putting it into his pocket ,'i.
That Mr. Bradley received $500 is
true and that tho present Clerk gets
81 900 is also true. But II the scribe
in question desired to state fact, for
the benefit of his readers, he should
have remarked that the passage OF
tho Infamous registry law by the
Radical Legislature in 1869, nearly
doubled the clerical duties in every
Commissioners Office in the State, and
yet tho board only pays 5000 more
for clerical services than previous to
tho passage OF that act That would
have been telling tho whole truth
But from tho matter found in tho col
umns of the Times, it is quite plain
that tho editor devotes but little time
in search Of the truth.
Our new Prison, also, sooms 10 an

strange. Ho halls from q locality
where such structures are not half 80

and buildings Of that kind are terror

at libel, defamation and falsehood arc
a disgrace TO the profession. What
this low scribblor desired to impress
upon the minds OF his readers was,

Sufferings of an Ohio Family
Going West.

Some weeks since family consisting
of husband, wife and six children ar
rived in this city from Ohio. As their
baggage and household effects were de-
layed in transit, they could not proceed
on their journey, and so put up at ho-
tel till they should arrive. Day after day
they waited, and still the goods did not
come. Meantime the funds ran low,
and they could no longer afford to
board, so small room was hired on
Farnham street, and the family moved
into it. 1t was not over ten feet square
and yet these eight persons lived, ate,
and slept there. The ages Of the child
ren were from eight to seventeen. The
suffering of the family eliminated
in the death of n member of the little
banda bright girl of twelve years
She was taken sick on Friday, and died
on Sunday. So reduced had these peo-
Pile become that they had not a single
dollar LEFT to purchase the necessaries of
life. The father is carpenter by trade,
but could not get work. These facts
coming to the knowledge of the First
Baptist Society, they have taken charge
of the suffering family. The rail road
are still endeavoring to trace
the lost goods.-Omdhd Republican.

Can Animals Count.

NJ. Houseau says: The mule is sup
posed to be able to count as far as five,
at least, and this is considered to be es-
tablished by the following observation.
There is 4 short branch line of omnibus
es in New Orleans, where each mule
makes the journey five times successive
ly before being changed. The veteri-
nary surgeon of these animals called at
tention to the fact that at the end OF
each of the first four journeyes they are
silent, but as they approach the end OF
the fifth they neigh. But this is not
satisfactory. The end of the fifth trip
may be marked by separations for
feeding the animals, which they hear
or smell at distance, and these may
have produced responsive neighs. Serb

A Crewless Ship.

The Liverpool Globes correspondent
at Gibraltar writes:
There is little vessel in this port
whose recent history is even more mys-
terious than that of the Murilla, and
perhaps similarly tragieal to that of the
Northfleet. The Mary Celeste, an
American brigantine, was fallen in with
by British vessel some four hundred
miles east of the Azores, and brought
by her to Gibralter on December 18th.
When discovered she was under fore
mast staysail and jib, and under this
hight canvass she had been pursuing her
way for ten days without soul on
board, the last entry on the ships log
being on November 9th. No other pa
pers were found on board-manifest,
bills of landing, every document which
could have thrown any light upon the
history of the derellet had been remov-
ed-and up TO the present time, although
the inquiry is still going on, not the
slightest clue has been traced to account
for the desertion of the vessel, and even
conjecture is at fault. The cargo, con-
sisted of barrels of spirits, is untouched
with the exception of one eask which
had started. There are no signs of the
vessel having suffered from bad wealth
er in any single respect, the most mi
mute examination having failed to de-
tect any injury above the water or be-
low it. A harmonium in the captains
cabin and the music books We're all in
their places untouched by salt water
A little phial of oil was still standing
by a sewing machine, and a reel of cot
ton and a thimble had not yet rolled of
the table. Nor had the cabin been plum
dered, for its contents, belonging toa
lady and child. were of considerable
value. A sword was i'm its scabbard,
rusty, and with marks of blood having
been wiped off. There are marks like
sharp cuts on the topgallant rail and on
both sides of the vessels bows, which
appears to have been done on purpose
Whether this points to any act of vio-
lence, and with what motive committed
why the vessel was left under sail, or
in apparent absence of either plunder
or peril, why she was ever deserted at
all-is still an absolute mystery, for up
to the present moment no trace has
been found of the lady or child, Of the
captain or any one of the crew. sr.
