SCANDAL ON THE BRAIN.

SCANDAL ON THE BRAIN.
BY MRS. N. A. KIDDER.
OF all the many maladies,
And many human ills,
That rack the frame and fire the blood,
In spite of drugs and pills
The one that takes the deepest root,
And gives the greatest pain,
And makes the patient venomous,
Is"Scandal on the Brain"
CHORUS.
Blighting. biting. trying, prying,
Seeking spot and stain,
Those are the sure unerring signs
OF scandal on the brain.
There's Miss Fitz-Pry, the dear good soul
She never thinks of self;
But keeps record of her friends U.s.
Quite hst dy on the shelf
And when she's nothing else to do,
She takes the volume down.
And enters all the scraps and bits
OF gossip round the town.
Some people dress and 60 to church,
With faces long and prime
And meekiy say their morn ing prayers,
And sing tho Sunday hymn
But Just as soon as church is out,
Some shady nook they gain.
To easc their minds aud treat tn eir friends
To "Scandal on t Re Brain"
Says Beam to Mete oh, have you hoard
The strange and shocking ncws,
How Mr.. Milf and Mrs. Milf
Have taken separate pews!
And how the artful Patience Gale
Was setn-now don't you tell
Out walk ing with a married man,
know him very well.
And ther s's so much horrid talk
About that Nancy Boggs,
They say she really went to ride
III
And when the young man started off
To leave the forward Miss;
The neighbers heard Il faint report
1t must have been o kis.
Now don't you think last Monday night,
When I went out to walk,
met Ned Huntley's wife, and we
Had such splendid talk
She told me all about the, fair,
And told her, you see,
The awful case about the Fits
That live in number three.
And thus you'll find whereer you go,
That some " i'll talk aud pry,
And seek to have finger in
Some other body's pie
But never mind, they're sure to feel
Themselves the harpest pain
$ When suffering with this dread disease
Of Scandal on the Brain"
Now when you see person nod,
And wink, and VIII sper sly,
About what "they say or have said,
And end it with a sigh!
Just set that man and woman down
As rabd; for tits plain,
They've got the most malignant type
OF Scandal on the Brain.

EVERY once in while individuals
who have been dwelling on some pet
hobby for long time are brought
face to face with palpable fact that
interferes greatly with their notions.
Bishop Gilbert Haven is one of those
troublesome individuals that are al
ways knocking to pieces imperfectly
made theories by startling truths. For
instance. a great deal has been said
about oppressive taxation in South Car
DINA, and the Democrats have endeav
ored to make much political capital
out of it, but after a careful comparison
Bishop Haven is enabled to show tina,
the rate of taxation in New York City
IS greater than that of South Carolina
There is no doubt but that in both 10
caities taxes are unpleasantly high

sort of a pot call a moderately clean

SAYS the Springfield Union: "Ken
tucky is the most simon-pure Demo
cratic state in the Union. Its major
tiles are the biggest. 1t is as fair 6
representative of the workigsn of the
Democratic leaven as in the old Bay
state of the effectof Republicanism. In
view of this fact the anarchy and VIC
lence, the universal reign oflawlessness,
which is making of Kentucky a more
t'dark and bloody ground" than ever it
was in the days of Boone, affords an
instructive spectacle" The Union
might also have pointed to Missouri as
another example.
Gov. TAYLOR made speech to the
Changers ofGreen County On Saturday
afternoon. In the course of his re-
marks he defended the Potter law so
earnestly that his hearers must have
wondered why he doesn't enforce it.
But there are several things he omit
ted"to speak of. For example, he
failed to vindicate himself from the
charge published on Democratic
authority, that one Of his appointees
is a defaulter, and that the Governor
instead of exposing him and handing
him over to the grand jury, is seeking
to compound his crime.
A Case Where Cooperation is
Needed.
Under the above heading the Wes.
fern Farmer has the following very
sound suggestion, which we commend
to the farmers of Iowa county:
1t is quite possible that chinch bug
may not be found in all the North.
west next year. is quite possible
they may be even more destructive than
they have been this year. In view of
this latter possibility, perhaps prob
ability, it will be unwise to SOW wheat
largely. But of this each farmer
must judge for himself. In one I'M
portant matter, however, farmers may
cooperate with their neighbors, and
arrangements can be begun now
Many farmers have this year los
hundreds of bushels of corn because
their corn fields lay adjacent to neigh
boris wheat. Such losses may meas
urably be prevented. 1t will be wei
to SOW wheat and plant corn in com
pact bodies, and two or three or fou1
farmers can help each other in THU
way.

BRowNLow, in his last letter of de-
tense against the assaults of the negro
convention, asserts that reconstruc-
ton meant nothing more than en-
franchisement, and did not embrace
in its programme, enforced social
equality. We would rather have A.
j. explanation of that point, since
he was the initiator of the reconstruc-
ton inquiry. Perhaps he intended
nothing more than to make treason
odiOus." Neither explanation, how
ever, is reliable because not full
enough. Now we believe that the
war meant only emancipation, but that
accomplished, in a manner barbarous
and unconstitutional. the weight of sin
the abolitionists had to bear, in conse-
quence of their lawless and inhuman
treatment OF the South, suggested that
that the emancipated slaves might be
made instrumental in unfolding the
usurped power by which they were
liberated. This led to enfranchise-
ment, as an after-thought. But still
lying upon bed of thorns and appre-
hensive that the negro vote might not
cOunterballance, except as a uuit, the
white opposition to Radicalism-see-
ing indeed, that the negro vote could
be made solid for the Radical party,
only by an additional bride, social
equality suggested itself as the very
thing. Thus the Radical party, born
in blood and usurpation and corrup-
ton, found it necessary, to self-pre-
servation, to commit one outrage, after
another, upon Constitution and laws,
from the beginning to the present time.
The whole truth however, is that the
scheme of the leaders, from the very
first, was. to conquer, not only the
South, but the North, and then carry
into practice, New England's theory
of {, ntrsl cation and give absolute su-
premacy to its social, religious and po-
litical heresies-all opposed to popular
liberty. and in favor of the power and
splendor of an empire with a New
Engllnd head, and puritan nobility.

THE Radical leaders are in peck of
trouble about this time Grants veto
of the finance bill has s3rely offended
the Radical expansionisis of the West,
and the Juror about the civil rights
bill. has alarmed them for the security
of the negro vote. The trouble is, so
to shape the course of political events,
as not to offend the monopolists of
the east, the negroes of the South, or
the expansionists of all sections-the
support of all Of them being needed to
keep Radicalism in power. The prob
lem" how to do it, is too difficult of
solution, and the attitude of the party,
is that of the bewildered traveller who
has deviated so far from the straight
forward path, that, at the crossing, he
knows not which road to take, ip order
to find shelter from the impending
storm. Neither road can save Radi-
calism, because either leads to defeat
and ruin.

cLARKsyILLE, ::JUNE 10. 1874.
THE GRANeERs AND THE TARIFF.

To call the attention of the Changers
to particular wrongs whichit is to their
interest to correct, is all well enough
for those who have fancy for details.
For our own part. we look upon the
various ring-monopolies as mutually
sustaining whole, and that to get rid
ofthem, we must fight them in the lump,
and the administration being the key
stone of the entire structure, the re-
moval of the main pillar will be fol-
lowed by a general-if not instantane-
ous-ruin of the whole system of Rad
zeal frauds. Some would have the Pa
irons of Husbandry to single out the
tariff as the mammoth eyilto be abated.
Whilst we concede the enormity of that
iniquity. its oppression and injustice,
as designed for the benefit of the ia
word few, we are as fully convinced
that it is idle to hope for its correction
so long as the Radical party is in power.
And this brings US back to our origi-
nal position-that the aims and duties
of the Changers are too general and
comprehensive to authorize restric-
ton of their efforts to the removal of
a solitary evil, without first removing
the cause of all. Linked together as
are the various ring-monopolies, and
rivited, as they all are, to the Radical
administration, it is impossible to des-
troy them in detail, and the only effec-
tual remedy is in hurting from power,
the master spirit of oppressive corrup-
tion-the Radical party.
Wemight write column after column,
upon the unequal and injurious effects
of the tariff upon the commerce of
the country. and especially upon the
welfare of the producing classes; we
might point out the iniquities of the
railroad monopolies, of the national
banks swindlc and of every other COM
bination of capital against labor, but
chi bono The Changers are too far
advanced in the knowledge of these
political wrongs to require constant
jogging; and endless dissertations upon
isolated points of the sum total. The
great work yet to be done-especially
by the press-is not to enlighten the
Changers upon existing political evils,
but to impress upon them the fact that
Radicalism is the monster curse of the
country; that the people themselves, are
responsible for the Radical President
and Congress-the fountains whence
flow the curses which affliet the body
polite, and that the people can relieve
themselves only by abating the evil of
which they are the authors. This
must be the initial point of the pro-
posed reform, and until this point is
secured, nothing can be done towards
the abatement of the tariff, or any
other of the dangerous monopolies
which threaten the life of the Repub-
lie and the prosperity of agricultural
industry and all honest labor.

THE indications are that Grant is
feeling his way to imperial power 1t
is rumored that he and his friends
are working to secure his third term
the scheme being based upon the sup
position that there will be no election
by the people, and that the next Pres
ident will be elected by Congress. The
object of the conspirators of course,
will be to elect Congress, the majori-
ty of whom will favor Grants third
term. But the most suspicious cir
'cumstance, is the fact that the Presi-
dent is trying his hand as legislator, by
giving the outlines of financial bill
to lie acted upon by the two Houses of
Congress, and thereby satisfy the
people that he can run the whole gov
eminent, and that Congress is an ex-
pensiye and useless department.

THE moral status of the people Of

IT seems to Us that the original
theory of our Institutions though
scalleda complex system Of govern
ment--is as simple as 1t is Ineligible.
The powers of the Federal govern
ment being simply derivative, delegated
and specified by the States, that gov
eminent must look to the Constitution
for its authority to act at all, WILTSHIRE
States-origiual sovereignties = must
look to the same instrument for the
limitation of their powers. Whenever
the general government oyersteps a
constitutional limitation, it is guilty of
usurpation, and if said usurpation is
endorsed by the three coordinate de-
partments, it is an exercise Of despot-
ic power which the people must correct
through the ballot-box, or by quiet
submission, lapse into condition of
political slavery.
The present ruling faction, by re-
peated usurpations of powers not del
egated, has deprived the States oftheir
most important reserved rights and, by
the practice and dissemination of the
grossest corruption, have merged our
entire system of government-political
moral and social-into one reekine
mass of putrid fermentation. The
ballot-box still remains to us, as a
means of correcting abuses, but frau.
dulently manipulated, through the APP
plNkees of corrupt power, it is mert
mockery of political justice and popu
lar liberty, whilst our emasculatet
constitution" league with hell in
stead of being protection, is but :
pretext with corrupt tyranny, for tn,
most fiend-like acts that malice anC
revenge can prompt The power of tn,
federal government to do wrong, is de
rived from the weakness of the PEG
pie, whose ignorance of, or indiffer
ence TO, their own rights, prosperit!
and happiness invite selfish ambition

One effect of the civil rights bill
has been to impress the negroes with a
belief that they are not only placed by
IL above the white man, but above the
penal laws of the country. Such an
impreSsion-and not unfounded-can
have no other effect than toincrease the
arrogance of the negroes, strengthen the
antypathy of race and east and lead,
ultimately to such acts of aggression,
under the sanction of that bill, if it
becomes a law, as must inaugurate the
war of races, so long predicted as the
result of negro worship, by the Radi-
cal party.
