the combustible nature of the oiled
floor the flames were communicated to

Still BEEcuERINa.-The absorbing
topic in the Brooklyn Courts are the
Bcccher-Tilton suits, for libel and for
damages, and they promise to be long
winded affairs. The suit of Tilton, for
damages, has been postponed, Beecheris
counsel apparently being anxious to
postpone it indefinitely. This post
ponement or legal strategy is construed
by Bcecher's enemies to mean that he
is afraid to have the trial hurried up.
Whatever happens in the matter, the
public has lost its curiosity in the case.
In the meantime Mr.. Beechcr breaches
moro vigorously than over before. A
friend OF ours recently likened him to
a mule, which pulls heavier loads with
several men upon his back TO hold him
down. Beeeher certainly works better
with Tilton and Moulton ON his back
but he has acknowledged that II was
dreadful hard work to appear fresh
and cheerful under the circumstances.
Plymouth Church is the most popular
place of resort in the vicinity of New
York, since the recent developments,
and Henry breaches more vehemently
since he separtod Tilton and his wife
than before. But then Beecher's
Church and John Morrisscy's saloon
are rival places of resort. The former
and his friends gamblein in theology and
morals, and the latter with cards, for
wealth A difference without dis
tnction.

FoR SPEAKER.--Hon. N. p. Banks,
elected to Congress by the Democrats
in Massachusetts, was one Of the best
Speakers who ever presided over the
national House Of Representatives
His decision was never overrnlcd by

pleasant demeanor was acquired from

He is an excellent man, but then no

CASH PoLITIcIANs.-Thc late cleo.
tions have ended the labors Of that
class of politicians who ego for cash. y
The Democratic party must begin
at once to end forever the business Of
those men who have lived so long on
"the cash" which they aslS, demand,
or take for political service.
The curse of the Radical party, OF
rather one of its curses, was the gang
of creatures Il brought into life who
where known as always "going for
the cash" Votes, bills, lcgislations,
contracts were to be had for cash, and
these creatures were the agents to buy
or sell. nl ,ii .Iril 'r i8if |'IF
Offices were put up for sale and he
who had the most money was most
successful. "Put up your CASH was
the demand made ON every occasion 10
every applicant for office, from the
man who applied for q pollcemans
badge to him who asked the nomina.
tion for Governor, Judge, or any other
post Of high public trust, ~ Ii.i
The Democratic party must now
put an end to this business. 20 Z
Let the first question that is now
asked of a candidate be, 'did YOU put
up your cash ?" and if II can be shown
that he even proposed to do it, defeat
him on the spot. f..a faI
No greater good than this could pos
sibly come out of the return of the
Democracy TO power. II would end
the men and the party lately known
as "the Radical gang. .'--C6mmoHruth,

WILL NOT RALLY.-JThe Radical
leaders in this county who started out
to "bust up the Democratic party
find the bust in their own party. The
Chairman is making an effort to rally
his scattered forces, but they will not
rally worth n cent. In common with
our friends, we feel grateful for the
assistance we received from the liberal
element in the opposition party which
refused TO train with the ring which
undertook to force their party into ex-
treme measures, and acts of doubtful
propriety. The Democrats can stand
a "bust up" of this kind every fall, in
this or any other county.

And damned be he who first cries hold, enough =

A @SLATE" FouND.-A correspon-
dent at New Washington informs us
that while repairing his garden fence,
few days ago, he found a "slate"that
some member of the ''ringp had drop
ped while climbing over the fence
The "slatc" was dated the 18th OF
June, and contains the names of can
didates for full county ticket. But
as none of the candidates on this
"slatc" were elected this fall, we deem
II Unnecessary to publish the names.
From this il is evident that the "Court
House ring" is not the only "ring' do
ing business in this county, and that
"slates" can be made here as well as
in Harrisburg Oh, the innocents!

Or COURSE You Do.-Those refined
twins who preside over the columns Of
the Times and the Remile, file objections
to the action of the Sheriff and Com.
missioners in offering rewards for the
capture of burglars and highway rob
bes. Those tax ridden fellows arc
hard to please, and never approve the
acts of an official unless they arc first
consulted or paid. Had the officers in
question sent an advertisement TO each
of these patriots, they would have been
landed to the skies. That is all there
is in their criticism.

USmApPY.-A sound as of mighty

4 PLOT IN LONLSLANA.

" u fbOi fA' LOUISIANA.
The New York Sun has the fol.
lowing double leaded editorial
We learn from very Trustworthy
sources that il rs the purpose of the
carpet-bag authorities in Louisiana To
count in the Republican candidates for
State officers, with the majority if not
all of the Republicans who ran ior
Congress- and \ sufficient number Of
the defeated nominees to the Legisla-
ture to control that body and thereby
prevent the impeachment of Kellogg
and secure the United States Senator
Grant is in the plot and has agreed to
carry il through with the bayonets OF
the army The ultimate object which
Grant is aiming at is understood to be
the election of his brother-in-law Casey
to the Senate.
We learn further that if this great
crime against the people OF Louisiana
IL perpctratcd, the conspirators profess
to apprehend that vengeance will be
summarily inflicted upon some of their
leaders and they name Kellogg and
Packard as two whom the Conseiva-
tives have resolved 10 put to death.
We credit the report that the thieves
who have so long prcycd upon Louisi-
ana under cover Of Grants protection
intend TO. commit these frauds upon
elective franchise; and there is no
doubt that Grant will countenancc and
sustain them now as he has heretofore
done in the commission Of these fel-
onies. But we hope no outbreak of
violence will follow from these wrongs.
True, if Kellogg, Packard and Casey
were to be killed, three snealSing vii
lains would be put permanently out Of
the way but no good would como. Of
il so long as those three boldcr villains,
Grant, Williams and Robcson, could
use the army, the navy, and the courts
to defy and set at naught the verdict
Of the electors delivered at The polls.
Rctribution may advance slowly, but
it is sure to come, though not by the
violent shedding of blood, however
vile. Armed with the majesty of the
law, the New House of Representa-.
tives will lay bare the Louisiana in
famics, while the results of the next
Presidential election will send some of
tho bead conspirators to the peniten.
tiary unless they emulate the example
