Democratic Victories.

On Tuesday of last week, despatch
from Louisville, KY. gave an account
Of the inhuman cruelty Of gang of
masked White Leagues in Shelby
County, Ky. After mobbing reli-
gious meeting the gallant Democrats
or members Of the Peoples party"
went to the house ofa white man nam
ed Ford, where they amused them
selves by whipping cruelty three ne
groes in his employ. and threatened
Ford's life if he did not discharge
them. From there they went to the
residence of negro named Burning
ton, and fred into the house, one ball
striking the daughter of the man,
girl 16 years old, putting out one Of
her eyes and dangerously wounding
her otherwise. They then broke the
door down, and, after cursing the in
offensive man, rode off to other victo-
ries.

The Rebel Army to be Reorganized.

The general design of the whole
South may be gathered from the opin-
ions and suggestions contained in the
following from an influential rebel
paper in Georgia, the Atlanta Daily
News, October 9. This will bear care
full reading:
"Latterly a general desire has
sprung up in favor Of renewal of war
associations. Numerous reunions Of
Confederate regiments have already
taken place, and numerous others are
projected. This is as it should be,
but we believe that the fraternal bond
would be strengthened if a step fur
ther was taken. Why not reorganize
these commands, fill them up to the
maximum with the young men of the
South, and thus form large and pow
erful defensive force. \
us it possible to reorganize the old
commands throughout the South? We
think it is. Such a reorganization
would prove of incalculable benefit to
us. It would give us an army OF at
least three hundred thousand men,
with every branch of the service we'll
represented, and such force would
enjoy immense prestige. The mere
fact of its existence would, We firmly
and honestly believe, put an end to
our political troubles. Radicalism op
presses and tramples upon US because
We are weak.

The old controversy between Ad-
miral (then captain) Wilkes, of the
American Exploring Expedition. and
Sir James Ross, of the British Navy,
in regard to the existence Of an An
tartic continent which Wilkes claim
ed to have discovered, will be revived
by letter from Lieut.. Hynes, of the
Challenger, to DR.. Hayes. Sir James
Ross claimed that he had sailed over
the very spot where Wilkes placed
his Antartic continent, and now Lieut..
after faithfully searching for the same
curious continent, has failed to find
it. Capt. Wilkes ought to have taken
means to anchor his land safely, so
that it could not drift away. What
possible use is there in continent
which declines to remain in the same
position for any length of time?

Did you ever notice that the fellow
who won't take the paper because by
withholding his patronage he thinks
he can break 1t up, is the first man to
gobble the paper Of some paying sub
scriber? This looks a little inconsis-
tant but it is the fact. This kind of
a man will swear he wouldn t touch the
worthless sheet with pair of tongs,
but he will sit around stores on the
day of issue. and before the paper is
dry from the press will bounce upon
itlike duck upon June bug Ex-
change.
That's as true as gospel; but it don't
hurt their cheeks bit to tell them of
their meanness.

WAYNE COUNTY, INDIANA, NOV. l.


Chronic grumblers see nothing good
in the acts of the Republican party.
During the administration of the
party it has aided and actually secured
the construction of railway across
the continent from ocean to ocean; yet
the party is abused for donating to
this enterprise portion of the public
lands, by which immigration has been
drawn into the interior, developing
the resources Of the great West, and
doubling in value the yet unoccupied
public domain.
During the administration of the
party more than 10000 miles of rail-
way have been constructed over the
country, equaling in cost. including
rolling stock and equipments, the en-
tire railway system Of England twice
told; yet the party is blamed because
there are not railways enough to trans
fer our vast internal products to the
seacoast and manufactures to the in
terror.
Since the party came into power it
has expended vast sums in harbor and
river improvements; yet it is censured
because it has not constructed sys-
tenn of inland canals across the conti-
nent. 1t is censured for expending
money on public buildings; yet there
is scarcely city, Territory, or State
in the Union that is not clamoring to-
day for appropriations for the erec-
tion of public buildings that are really
needed to meet the development and
consequent necessities of the country.
The Government is censured tor the
public debt and consequent taxation;
and yet the debt is the direct result OF
the war inaugurated by the very men
who are now whining over its exis-
tence.
Tie Democratic party is constantly
denouncing the Administration for
the heavy expenses of the Govern
ment, while the figures show conclu-
sively, and everybody who has inves-
tigated the subject knows, that when
the disbursements growing out of the
Democratic war are deducted, the cost
Of the Government is less than it was
, under Buchanan, with one third more
population to provide for now than at
| that time.
The Democracy blames the Repub.
lican party for the late panic and sub
sequent hard times, and attributes this
disaster to high tariff: yet, every in,
telligent man in the country know:
that if it had not been for that same
tariff, the crisis would have fallen
upon US several years earlier, and with
tenfold more severity.

The following is the report of a hur-
ried conversation which, we are asur-
ed, actually took place between two
Chicago merchants, meeting on State
street corner, Monday noon:
First merchant Halo! How is
trade with your
Second merchant-"It's getting to
be quite lively. How is it at your
placer
First merchant-"Dull as Sunday
nothing doing-not max ing expenses !"
Second merchant-"Oh John, see,
you continue to hide your light under
bushel-your old way. The way to
do is to advertise-that's what brings
trade if there's any at all. The differ
ence between us and you is that we
advertise and let the people know
that we are alive. You don't believe
in avertizing. What ails you.
First merchant-"It's throwing
away money. | never did believe in
advertising. Don't believe it pays.
Second Merchant-"That's what
you have always said, and we can
never agree. You do know your
trade is dull, know ours isn't. We
| advertise often; you don't at all. Let
facts speak for themselves"
First isn't the adver-
tising that does tit is the difference
in location. I think we will try to
find store further north"
| Second merchat-"Nonsense! What
you want is to let the public know
you are alive, and that you can only
| do hv o1vortieipp ~
First merchant-'You can't make
me believe it. People amt such fools
as to be Influenced by newspaper ad-
yertisement."
Second merchant-"That all de-
pends upon the style of your adver-
tisement. Ifyou advertise the truth,
as We always do, the public will soon
find it out; but if you try to fool them
they will also find that out. The pub
lie is to smart too be fooled, and a
sharp merchant is too smart to try to
fool them
First merchant walks on, with his
head down, and second merchant
to the printing Office, as usual, with
his written advertisement, and orders
it lone week in first page" The
fact is, as we are aware, the house oil
Merchant No. 2 does more business
in one pleasant day than that of Mer-
chant No. l does in whole week, and
sometimes whole month. Reason
Merchant No. 2 keeps his house, its
location its firm name and its leading
lines of goods continually before the
public, through the papers, while Mol
lives and does business very much like
a snail-within his own little shell
and never makes himself seen or heard
unless driven out of said little shell
by FIRE or bankruptcy.

Well, this is a sumner. Two young
ladies of Chicago, daughters Of a re-
spectacle physician there, have been
arrested for carrying on a wholesale
confidence game, by collecting money
in the name of half-orphan asylum
It is estimated that they have collect
ed $50, 900 or more during the year in
which the game has been going on.
The thing worked well enough until
they ran against the same victim twice,
and then came the collapse.

A fine old English gentleman {Mr.
Moggridge) with abundance of leisure
for study in natural history, has writ
ten very entertaining book on in
sects, in one chapter Of which, as a
critic asserts, he "elevates the charac-
ter of the spider" 1t is pleasant, at
any rate, to know that he has found
out enough about the creatures feel
ings to elevate science in the direction
of mercy. The story is briefly told
as follows: Moggridge had been in
the habit of immersing for preserva-
ton his different specimens of spi-
ders and ants in bottles Of alcohol.
He saw that they struggled for lew
minutes, but he thought that the
sensation was soon extinguished, and
they were soon free from suffering.
On one occasion he wished to preserve
a large female spider and twenty four
of her young ones that he had cap
tured. He put the mother into bot
tie of alcohol, and saw that alter a
few moments she folded her legs about
her body and was at rest. He then
put into the bottle the young ones,
who of course manifested acute pain.
What was his surprise to see the
mother arouse herself from the leth-
argy, dart around to and gather her
young ones to her bosom, fold her
arms around them, and again relapse
into insensibility. until at length death
came to her relief, and the limbs, no
longer controlled by this material in
stinct, relaxed their grasp and became
dead. The effects of the exhibition
upon him is lesson to our common
humanity. He has applied chloroforn
before immersion. Judging from the
above, the spider is certainly superior
to the human animal, in the fact that
alcohol does not destroy her natural af
fections.

The Democrats go for free trade
and foreign goods. But we all know
the result of adequate protection to
home industries will be the home con-
sumption of American agricultural
products. The true interests of the
artisan and the farmer are inseperable.
The American people should monopo-
lize American work and American
markets.
Free trade will open the gateways
of our ports for foreign competition,
and will simultaneously close the doors
of our mills and factories, and their
stoppage means the partial stoprage of
our mines, machine shops. and other
industries, and the general prostration
of business.

Total reduction.
...saO9,s5O,ln

So economically has the govern
ment been managed that expenses
per capita are less now than before
the war, when the nation was under
Democratic rule. In 1860, when
Buchanan was President, the cost
OF supporting the government was
$1.95 per capita, while in 1873 it
was only S1.76. In the light of
these facts the chatter of the De.
mocracy about Republican extrav-
agance is simply ridiculous.
