THE DEMOCRACY.
The Radical and the Democrat.

1t has been and is the vile habit of
mind of our political opponents in which
they degrade themselves, while, at the
same time they fill the minds of their
readers and followers with the malev"l-
ence of partisan feelings, to make con-
slant denunciations of the Democratic
party. They can only rule by running
this party. In running or defeating it
they may gain temporary success, but it
is at corresponding injury to the coun-
try. AS long as the Democratic party
subsists in the soundness of its principles
and in the integrity ofits members and
leaders, there will be a constant life
guard defending the Constitution against
the Radicalism which would undermine
it, and against the imperialism which,
from step to step, disrcgarding one pro
vision and then another of that Constitu-
ton, would crush it out in picce-meal.
1t is but little less hostile to Radicalism
than to the Imperialism, for the former is
but the first and the last step to the latter,
for it is only on the confusions of society
that Imperialism can be established, and
when these confusionS come in their
enormity, the strong government is the
necessity. Those who have been sound,
consistent Democrats, know that this
vituperation of their party has been, in
full measure, 4 part of their own lives,
and that these SANDERS and calumnics
came from every faction, and from every
combination of politicians, who, under
various names, have come, and gone and
been forgotten. They were those vari-
Gus parties who, without regard to con-
stitutional law, which equally protects
all citizens, had contrived tosccurc secret
or public organizations on some party
principal of Known othingism; on some
local interest; some combination Of mo-
nopolics; on something, on anything,
and on everything of class-lcsiSlation, rs
against the Democratic party standing
guard over the Constitution, and
protecting the rights of the
people, on every side, from every en-
croachment. So standing, it was the
the common point Of attack Of all such
special combinations as had private IN
tcrests. or personal, or religious prcjudl-
ccs that could only be pursued or graft
fled in violation ofthc general law, which
.sgranted favors to none and protection

Since the tragic death Of the inventor

its peculiar mechanism. We will not
vouch for any mans life who mounts
it and sets it in motion in a timbered
locality, but it can be managed safely
on the half.mile track on the fair
grounds, and will be put to les best
speed, if any man can be found who is
competent to guide it.

Cheer Him.

At fire in large city, while the
upper stories of a lofty dwelling were
wrapped in smoke, and the lower stories
all aglow with fame, piercing shrek
told the startled firemen that there was
some one still in the building in peril
A ladder was quickly reared, until it
touched tie heated walls, and diving
through the flames and smoke . brave
young fireman rushed up the rounds on
his errand Of mercy. Stifed by the
smoke, he stopped, and seemed about
to descend. The crowd was in
agony, as life seemed lost,
for every moment OF hesitation
seemed an age. While this shivering
fear seized every bcholder, voice from
the crowd cried out s'cheer him! cheer
him - and a wild ''hurrah" burst from
the excited spectators. AS the cheer
reached the fireman, he started upward
through the curling smoke, and in few
was seen coming down the lad
der with child in his arms. That
cheer did the work. How much can
we do to help the brave ones who are
struggling with temptation, or almost
in their efforts to do good to
others. Don't find fault with your
Brother in his trial, but cheer him.
Give him = word that shall urge him on
the way, and if you can't help him IN
any other way, give him cheer.

IO'Neil. They were brought to Platts-
burg, ana. on the examination that fol-
lowed, the following testimony was
brought out: ssss, +, :
The cause Of their arrest was state
ment made by an old man named
Granger, who had been working for
several farmers in that section, in which
lit appears that on the night after the
funeral of O'Neil he left Plattsburg,
about 10 o'clock, on his way to the
residence Of man named Finnegan.
Twice he stopped to rest on the way,
the second time in little hollow near
brook which ran by the house Of the
Leonards. Here he sat down and light
ed his pipe. Ere long he observed two
men coming out Of the house and 60
down toward the brook by the road
fence, whom he recognized. by the aid
|of the moonlight, to be sPete'A and
John Leonard, the former carrying 4
spade.
Upon seeing them come towards him
Granger placed his hand over his pipe
and slid down softly under the cover of
the bushes. When they arrived at the
brook, John had bundle in his hand
and something under his arm, which
latter fell to the ground, sounding as if
it were bar of iron. He commenced
to wash the garments which the bundle
contained, and, after some exertion,
declared that it seemed as if the blood
would never come out Of the clothes.
His brother thereupon advised him to
burn them up. At this juncture a
woman, dressed in her night-clothes,
came out and appealed to them, for the
honor of God, to come into the house,
as enough had been done already.
Turning to her, ''Pete' grufhv told her
to take the clothes with her into the
house and burn them. After
the woman had departed, one
of the men picked up the bar of
iron, remarking that he had given
O'Neil three or four good knocks with it
on the thigh, and also that if his broth
er had not taken it and struck O'Neil
on the head with it, the latter would
have put him out Of the wagon, and
that he had never thought O'Neil was
as strong a man as he proved to be
The other said that if he had not hit
him on the head with it ''he would have
euchercd you" John thought it would
be best to go to Canada, but ''Pete''
said that would be equal to confession
of guilt. After other conversation they
moved off and went to the house, and
Granger emerged from his hiding place
and resumed his journey.
AS may be expected, he was terribly
frightened while he lay among the BUSH
es, and astonished at what he had
heard, and was very much in doubt as
to what was his proper course to pur-
sue. He had dread of informing the
authorities, and kept his secret until a
couple Of weeks ago, when it became un-
bearable, and he went to the Rev.
Father'AIahoney, pastor Of St. Johns
Church, of this place, for advice, and
that gentleman informed him that his
duty was plain,-to lay whatever infor-
nation he possessed before the proper
officials. lie then went to q citizen of
the place and told his story. An affi-
davit was made out and the Leonards,
as before stated, were arrested.

A WONDERFUL NO HORSE WAeoN.
4 Negro Inventors End~An Old
Darkey Constructs q Remarkable
Machine, and Becomes the Victim
Of His Own Ingenuity.

From the Franklin (Ky.,) Patriot, Sept. 81
We referred, few weeks ago, to an
invention called perpetual motion,
constructed by an old negro who lives
three miles west of this place. 1t is .
wagon, so arranged that, after being set
in motion, it runs itself by virtue Of the
fact that the weight of gravitation is
thrown forward Of the centre of motion,
and. consequently, the machine is com.
PEELED to run. .s...
1thas been the intention of the in
ventor to have his wagon at the fair on
the 9th Of September. so that its
value may be tested publicly in presence
ofthe thousands Of people who will be
present; and we learn from one of our
best mechanics that last Wednesday,
the day Of the circus-the old negro
mounted the machine, adjusted the
bands, tipped the balance-weight over
the centre Of motion, gave the driving.
wheel shove, and started for Franklin
to report to Jshn B. Montague, secre-
tary Of the association, and have his
machine regularly entered on the books.
About one mile this side Of the old
negro's home there is a noted point,
called ARed Pond,'' immediately at the
forks Of the Cross Plains and Springfield
roads; and here, unfortunately, an &C.
cident occurred which we fear win
cause q disappointment to many inven-
tors who were coming to our fair for
the purpose Of examining this wonder
full invention. The machine was hum
ming along the smooth, sandy road, At
about fifteen miles m hour, and the
happy inventor was on deck, feeling as
proud as Fulton on board his first
steamboat, when, in making the turn
just near tbs margin Of the red pond,
the starboaTd front wheel collided with
. heavy-set post-oak sapling, and the
rebound was so powerful that the old
negro was thrown forward over the dash.

by the flange Of the driving-wheel,
which precipitated his speed 50 much
that when his head struck the fence
panel on the opposite side of the road
he was so badly smashed that his death
must have taken place Immediately.
Coroner Hartfield's inquest was un-
certain Is to whether he had been killed
by . sudden stroke Of the driving.
wheel, or by too hasty collision with
Il panel Of the fence. The machine,
after this accident, struck out With
freedom, and, passing the residence Of
Capt. Lea. soon made its way across in
the direction of !, Boisseau's meadow
but was arrested in its progress BY q

September Work and Play.
It is somewhat astonishing that Sep
TENDER, in many respects, the most
beautiful month of all the year. should
be turned to so little account by most
farmers. Ordinarily, it adds little to
the pleasure or pocket of farmers or
their families. Being the season be-
tween grass and hay, there is generally
nothing Of hurrying nature to be
done. Ordinarily, it passes and the ap-
pearance Of the farm changes in no re-
spect except that the corn ripens and
the weeds grow. Still September offers
advantages for doing certain kinds OF
work that no other month does.
/ It is an excellent time in which to
build fences; the roads are in excellent
condition so that materials can be haul
Ell to the best advantage. It is a good
time for digging wells and cis:erns and
for cleaning out snd stoning up springs.
The water supply Of most farms is mad
equate to its wants. The cattle show
1t by the eagerness with which they
come to the we'll or other watering place
The women know it when the small
cistern gives out, and the washing of
clothes has to be done with hard water
September is the best month of the
year in which to top-dress grass lands.
Manure applied at this season, properly
pulverized aad scattered, soon shows its
good effects. The rains of the later
fall months carry it down to the sur.
face of the soil, dissolve much of it and
take it to the roots. These top-dressed
fields make ample returns the next sea-
son for the labor bestowed on them.
Carts carrying manure can be driven
over grass fields at this time, with the
least injury Of any season. Barn yards
scraped now will be in good condition
for mixers, and will be comfortable fer
the stock.
While top-dressing fields it is we'll t.
make critical examination Of their
condition. If there are bushes thew
should be cut down or uprooted and
burned. If there are sticks, stumps,
stones or other impediments to the
moving machine or rake, they should
be removed. If there are spots in the
fields partially barren, they should be
sown with grass seed. Finally, if there
are weeds growing in fences, or along
the sides Of fences, they should be cut
down and burned.
