IF Democrat, long accustomed to
Democratic rule, low taxes and hard
money, observes the Pottsyille Stan
ddrd cried out a number Of wears ago
against his thirty-iive or six cents
worth Of gold on his paper dollar, it
was constructive treason with rampant
radicaiism. But now, when the gov
eminent appears to be veering around
from its political meandcring. and is
righting up under the prospect that
the old and stable constitutional party
will soon be at the helm, that same
Democrat is abused for accepting the
currency as he finds it, until prosperity,
which is sure to follow Democratic
rule, shall enable them TO do better.
The Democratic party must of necess-
ity take the country rs it finds it. To
ride rOugh-shod over the industries of
the country to spe lie payment would
be worse than folly; it would be a
crime. The history and traditions of
the Democratic party are in favor of
uniform, sound and invariable cur
rency, and such they will provide, by
abolishing the national bank circula-
ton. by making the greenback legal
tender for all debts due the govern
ment as well as the people. and by
blsipg the circulating medium upon
the faith of the government, so that
the grennbask dollar shall be what it
processes to be, and not continually
carry lie upon its very face.

THAT mordI and eXemplaryman .the
editor of the Johnstovn IrjbHpc, in
his issues of Thursday and Friday of
last week, came promptly to the res
cue of his po'jticoi friend and associate,
John Porter This was both natural
and expected. and is in harmony with
the eternal fitness OF things. \ fellow
feeling makes Il man wOndrOus kind,
and birds of the same political feather

temperance () who presides over the
Tribune talks incohercntly about "a
Ring paper and so full of whisky" etc
Well. he ought to know bravelv how
it is himself, for he has often been
there The last time but t1cO that he
was in this place, and it was SUnd0y
too, he was taken for walking distil-
lery. Well knowing that he could not

sources. lie brought his own jug along
with him. He does not come often,
but whenever he puts in an appearance,
the small boys on the corners, if they
know it, are prepared for him and al
ways give him an enthusiastic recep-
tion. They soIcmnly aver that they

A FEW weeks ago. as we mentioned
at the time, Col. q. Wiley Wells, who
is Republican candidate for Congress
in one of the Mississippi districts,
charged in a public speech that Adel-
bert Ames, the carpet-bag Governor
of that State, was the instigator of
the bloody riot at NicilSbnrg last fall,
and that he (Ames) had remarked just
before that event, in the presence Of
living witnesses, that the "biOOd Of
LCeaiii-fre or Hirty negroes ,could
beneft the Rrpubijcan pariy" Ames
did not answer, or in any way notice
this damaging accusation, and Col.
Wells has now published card in
which he says: '''To the end that this
controversy, unsought by me, may be
speedily settled, | now state that
Whenever Governor Ames denies the
charges made by me, over his own
signature, it will then be understood
that the obligation Of secrecy is re-
moved from the gentlemen who were
present at the interview referred to,
and | shall then feel called upon and
be a7;le to establish in substance the
must now answer this specific declara-
ton. The radical press of tie north
asserted that the Nicksburg riot was
the work of rebel democrats" thirst
ing for negro blood, but Col Wells
allegation, if unans wered, will disclose
the fact that the guilt belongs to mes.
Precisely the same infamous game has
been pla ayed often before by carpet bag
politicians in the south, for the base
purpose ofinhaming the northern mind
and contributing to radical success at
the elections, 1t is now well uEder-
stood and will not win in the future.
What first class scoundrel this Ames
must be who is always ventilating his
pretended admiration and love for the
negro by whose votes he has crawled
into power?

Three Young Girls Fighting for
MeiI. LiccS.

SHOHLoLA, Pa, August 30.-Gesterday
afternoon three young women, residing
near the Big Brink Pond, in Sholola town
ship. started to go berryiug. They We're
obliged to cross the pond to reach the
woods. Before entering the boat they saw
something in the distance swimming i'll
the water. Thinking it was a dog, they
paid no further att ention to 1T, but started
on their way across the pond, which is
about two miles wide. After rowing for
several hundred yards, the girl who was
plotting the boat saw that what they first
thought to be dog swimming in the water
was buck, which was coming directly
toward them. Having clumsy pair of
oars, it was some time before the boat
could be turned, and then the deer had
reached to within few yards of them.
The girls became greatly terrified, for the
deer was fast gaining upon them, and
from the way it snorted and plunged, they
were satisfied it meant mischief. While
the one rowed with all her might the other
Two padded, thus somewhat increasing
their speed but the deer was slowly gain
ing on them, and knowing they could not
reach the shore before being overtaken,
they ceased rowing to prepare for the in>
eviiable battle. When the deer, suorting
and plunging. had reached to within few
feet OF the boat, iU stopped for moment.
Then it made a sudden plunge, and as its
head struck the side of the boat the brave
girls brought down their raised paddles
upon 1t with such force as to drive 1T under
water. The girls again raised their only
weapons, aud as the head rose to the sur
face they again brought their paddles to
bear upou il with the same result.
When the deer again raised from the
water it seemed to realize that this was to
be the death struggle, and its eyes gleam-
ed like balls of fire. 1t made a lunge, aud
threw It's fore feet overthe side of the boat,
near the oar locks. This nearly capsizrG
the clumsy craft, and threw Maggie Jor-
dan, the oldest of the three, into the water:
but as she fell she caught the edge of the
boat, and was hauled in by one Of her com
panionS. Then the heroine at the oars. as
she felt the animals breath in her face,
raised "a paddle and struck for her life,
and as the blow fell across the deer's head
the blood started from its nostrils, and it
sank back helpless and seemingly dead,
but really only stunned. The girls then
started for the shore, leaving the deer
struggling between life and death in the
water. ... .r..... .
Reaching the shore, one of the girls ran
to a small log cabin, an eighth of mile
distant. in which lived a family by the
name of Berger, and told what had occur
red. Mr.. Berger seized his rifle and went
to the pond, where he found the wounded
deer yet struggling in the water, a few rods
from the shore. He rowed out to it, and
seizing it 10y the antlers, cut its throat, aud
then towed the body to the shore The
deer was the largest ever killed in the
neighborhood, weighing 227 pounds.

Run FOR LIFE.-On Tuesday after
noon, John Callighan, an orphan lad, aged
about fourteen years, and hailing from
Stroudsburg, Pa, met his death by being
run over by the cars. Just before the 40
train on the J.. & B. road reached the Park
Hill bridge or culvert, young Callighan,
who was standing on the track ran across
the culvert, and instead of stepping to one
side, which he could easily have done, and
averted the accident, continued his race on
the track, notwithstanding the danger
whistle of the engineer. He had run prob
ably fifty feet after crossing the culvert
when lie was warned by a flagman near by
OF his danger, and told to get off the track.
The boy evidently was so frightened that
he was perfectly oblivious to his fate. for
he took off his hat, and, increasing his
speed, KEEP. to the track. He had run but
short distance, however, when he was
struck by the engine ana carried along for
some distance and hurled over an enbank-
ment. He had a terrible cash on the head
penetrating the skull, which produced
death in about four minutes Monroe

"WAsHINGToN, the capital Of this
great nation" remarks the Allegheny
Mail, a Republican Journal "has be-
come the paradise Of felons. The
growth of crime there is simply appall-
ing. With population Of about 49,
600. onc-third of whom are black, the
statistics of crime at Washington are
astounding. When persons in the
employ of the government, who were
glad to get office for the pay, and who
have received no inheritance, become
suddenly rich as rule, there is good
ground for suspicion that such wealth
has not been honestly acquired, and
that they have utilized opportunities
cOrTuptlv. As n result of the cOrrup-
tion influence of suddenly acquired,
ill-gOtten gain murdercrs, counterfeit
ers, robbers, Iuflians, gamblers, cut
throats, and other criminals, have no
dread Of the law, because they know
how to disarm its terrors, and to pro-
pitiate those who administer it. JUS
tice has become mCckery and cheat.
Worse than that, it used to shelter
crime and pursue innocence. Life is
not safe, and prOnrietv is at the mercy
of combination Of thieves and their
confederates in authority. COnspicu-
Gus among the characters who have
become milionaires, are DelanO, Cow
en- and Smith, of the Interior depart
ment. -Four or five years ago they
were poor, now they are said to he
Very wealthy. 1t is not difficult to
divine how they acquired their riches"
THOSE prominent California Re
puhlicans"in Washington are strange
set. The next day after the election
they had their opinions telegraphed
over the country to the effect that it
was all right, that che full returns
would show that the Radicals had
carried the State. On yesterday morn
ing they changed their tune and
Washington special says that ''the
election returns from California are
not a surprise to, the Congressional
Republican Committee, and the friends
of Senator Sargent say that he was
confident the State would 90 Demo
cratic. The failure of the Bank of
California had nothing to do with the
result. Those who know best the
cause of the political diSsension assert
that at the Presidential election next
fall the vote will be solid for the nom
inees of the Republican party for Pres
ident and Vice President" The faith
of these men is equal to bushel of
mustard seed. They have reduced in
verse proportion to science. If the
loss of 80, ,000 or 1000 votes to Radi-
calism in California Will make the
/ vote solid for the Radical ticket next
fall, what would have been the result
had the Democrats gained $4,000?

iron, that had been thrown out of
the mountain in a molten state,

From The Citizen of November 1871
Gov. Stafford, Thos. Ewing aud
W. e. MorfOrd visited the public
schools on Tuesday and came
away much pleased with the large
attendance and manifest progress
of the pupils. Mr.. MOrford re-
marked that it often occurred that
certain things were needed about
a school, for which the teachers
did not feel disposed to call upon
the trustees, and therefore he gave
$40 to meet such cases, which was
handed to Mr.. Horton and Miss
Nesmith.

that forty men of the 9Th Cavalry
had crossed the Rio Grande to
support Capt. Mentally who had
been driven to the river by Next
cans, but had been ordered to re-
turn. 1t appears the United
States Cavalry caught nine Next
can cattle thieves crossing with
stolen cattle. The United States
troops were ordered not to cross
the river aud remained on this
side INTELLECTUALLY with the Texas
state troops crossed over and at
tempted to recapture the cattle.
The Mexicans drove McNally be-
fore them. The 9Th Cavalry Cross
ed over contrary to orders and
fought the MeXicans side by side
with McNally's men until they
were obliged by overwhelming
numbers to fall back to this side
of the river. Four Mnxicans were
killed. It is not improbably but
that Mexicans will cross over to
this side. The cattle were not
recovered. Las Cuevas, where
the fight took place is the head
quarters of Cortina's thieves.
GALVESTON, Nov. 22.-Advices
from Brownsville to-day state
that on Saturday, Capt McNally
was entrenched on the Mexican
side of the river under the pro-
lection of the guns from this side,
while there was prospect Of fed
eral troops crossing. He remain
ed to hold the passage, when po-
sitive orders were sent not to cross.
Capt. McNally then returned with
his whole command but he ex-
tOrted a promise from the Mexi-
can authorities that they would
deliver all stolen cattle and
thieves, if caught.

1t is stated that yesterday the
MeXicans delivered several head
of cattle at Ringold Barracks. All

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Gen-

bandits, most of which has been
anticipated by press publications.
The report closes with sign ificant
suggestions that more effective
means must be adopted than send
ing troops to look on while Our
people are being despoiled and
murdered, for it is evident that
soldiers however willing, can do
nothing if confined to this side of
the river. The President issued
an order this evening that the
various departments of Govern
ment be closed on the day Of Vice
President Wilson's funeral, and
the executive mansion and execu,

In compliance with the order of

The sensational article publish
ed III the Chronicle and call Of
yesterday morning, relative to
the proposed treaty with Mexico,
looking to the ceSsiOn of Mexican
States lying south and west of the
Rio Grande, including all of Low
er California, creates considerable
speculation. The article purpOrts
to DE based on authentic informa-
ton from Washington and other
sources, and claims that the treaty
has already been drafted and will
be submitted to Congress at the
coming session. The Acting Mex
lean Consul, NJ. G. Pretchard, in
an interview last evening, said he
knew nothing of any such treaty
aud that not person in Mexico
could be found to sustain it. The
Constitution of Mexico fOrbids any
attempt at dismemberment of it's
territory, and no document look
ing toward that end can be sign
ed unless by reasonable act of
the Government. Before any trea-
ty of that kind can be entered in
to, it is necessary to amend the
Constitution, which can be done
only by act of Congress, and rati-
fed by two-thirds vote of the
legislatures of the several States
forming the Mexican Republic.
He considered the scheme con-
cocted by certain parties engaged
in land grabbing interest, know
ing that many persons had been
buying land in Mexico in hope
of something of the kind happen
ing.
The Gail and Alta this morning
editorialIy scout at the story as
prepostorous and unfOunded, as
far as any official action is concern
ed. though admitting there may
be great endeavors made by in
terested parties to effect such a
result.
SAN FRANCISCO, November %.
Your reporter has investigated
pretty thoroughly the reported
cessiOn of Mexican territory to
the United States. There is a
reason to believe that the basis
for the sensational statement pub
lished in the CGIL and Chronicle,
is a negOtia tion by Col. Scott in
Mexico, some months since for the
right of way through the Lower
California frontier for the Texas
Pacific Railway. It is probable
that the Texas Pacific people have
made a tender for a strip of land
along the frontier between the
Colorado River and the Bay of
San Diego. Mr.. Pretchard, Act
ing Mexican Consul, says the
Constitution of Mexico fOrbids the
dismemberment Of it's territory
and before any treaty of such
character can be made, it will be
necessary to have an act of Con-
gress amending the Constitution,
which act must be ratified by a
two. thirds vote of the legislatures
of the several States forming the
Mexican Republic. Mr.. Pretch-
ard feels sure that the people of
Mexico would not ratify any such
cession as has been reported
There has been a marked adj
vance in several of the leading
stocks.
