been guilty Of one act alone for which his
head is the legitimate forfeit he should have
paid-that he dared to deny the American
citizen the great constitutional privilege to
bear arms, and that he absolutely through
his janissaries, paid with the peoples money,
seized and hold the private arms of that peo-
pie. And more than all, MIR. Schwing has
forgotten that the rains of heaven have
hardly yet washed from the stones
of our streets the stains of the best
blood Of the land shed in wrestling
back from the usurper and tyrant those
very arms and sealing over again the sanctity
OF this our great privilege of freemen, when
the Representatives of those martyrs are in
political treaty with the tyrant before whose
guns they fell. He has forgotten that when
these martyrs fell they left but one common
legacy to their widows, orphans, parents and
friends-an honored name among an i'm
poverished and oppressed, but still honorable
people. CITIZEN.

have to be raised by increased taxation, and,
by way of logic, hurts at our unprotected head

Waving this peculiar logic, let us examine
the facts.
The army costs Sal, 100000 a year. One
fourth of the army is employed in the South
to sustain fraudulent Republican Governors
and to terrorize Opposition voters. That costs
100000. The department of Justice, "
better known as Williamss outrage mill, ex-
pended about 100000 last year in the
South, of which at least thres.fourths was for
partisan purposes. That makes SIG, 600, OOO
Suppose we cut off all these supplies from
the Republican party and devote them to the
construction of jettles at the mouth of the
Mississippi? That will leave $4,000, 600 to
be raised, and this can easily be saved out of
the Indian fund, if the stealings are cut off
and few contractors and Indian agents sent
to the penitentiary, where they ought to have
been long ago. But if these supplies were

A Dog of Sense.
Lebanon lKy.l Standard. ]

Lebanon (Ky.) Standard.]
When Rev. Miles Saunders and Mr.. Sam
Merrifeld, Of Nelson county, graduated from
Center College, Danvile, In 1857, the latter
procured and carried home with him pup
py, to which he gave the name of "Beppo''
He grew up, became a favorite with his young
master and continued such till the death OF
the latter in August, 1858. After this, he
remained in the service Of the family for
twelve or thirteen years, was constantly
about the house, and was the recipient of
unusual consideration, until he became SO
old and infrm that it was thought best that
he should be quietly dispatched. One morn
ing, when Mr. Sam Merrifeld and Rev. j. N
Saunders were going away, to be absent
day or two, they told servant that they did
not desire to hear what had become of him.
Beppo was present during this conversation,
but disappeared Immediately afterward.
When Messrs. Merrifeld and Saunders re-
turned home the mysterious absence of the
dog was mentioned and an exhaustive search
was instituted. At last, Beppo was found in
the barn, hid away in the straw; and, although
the order for his execution was counter
manded, he could never again be induced to
return to the house, and did not long survive
his loss of confidence in the affection of his
masters. 1t seems difficult to account for
this conduct on the part of the dog upon
any other hypothesis than that he understood
the order for his execution and endeavored
to Illustrate it by conceahng himself in the
barn.

Another Desperate Plot.

We cannot believe that any considerable
number of Republicans, aside from Butler
and his cohort Of et-baggers, thieves and
malefactors generally, cherish any serious in
tention of re-enacting the Ku-Klux bill and
empowering the President to suspend the writ
of habeas corpus. Our Washington kilograms
Of yesterday indicate that such scheme is
entertained in the Republican caucus
But it must be remembered that this eau
Gus is ''run" by the most desperate of the
classes to which we have alluded as followers
Of Butler, and that it has been snubbed sew
eral times in the House already. There is no
doubt that the carpet-baggers and the thieves
generally in Congress would like to pass q
two years appropriation bill for the army,
navy and Judiciary Departments, re-enact the
Ku-Klux act and confer dictatorial powers
upon the President until after the next cam
paign.
But it is hardly to be supposed that enough
Northern and Western Republicans will sup
port them to insure the passage of any such
measures. 1t must be said, however, that
the country will hold its breath until after
this crazy Congress has adjourned, because
there is no telling for certainty what it will do
or what it will scruple at doing. It is, indeed,
in the power of this Congress, though: it has
only four weeks of existence left to provide for
tumult and possibly bloodshed on an enor-
nous scale, North as we'll as South, between
this time and 1876. For this reason the
country will draw long bre ath at noon on the
4th of next month, if it shall adjourn without
having paved the way to any such calamities.
For our part we shall not believe that the Ku-
Klux bill is to be re-enacted and the country
placed under martial law by suspension Of
habeas corpus until we see it done. 1t is too
monstrous proposition to be credited as
possible Louis Republican, Feb 9Th,

Judging from the reports from New Orleans it
would appear that Mr.. George F. Hoar and his
colleagues are coming back freighted with the
same kind Of sentiments that the subcommittee,
Messrs. Foster, Potter and Phelps, got imbued
with in their investigations down there. We
should recommend that the whole Republican
party in Congress be sent down to Louisi ana In
squads to be instructed on this subject. No
doubt they would all come back as completely
enlightened as the extremely obstinate Repubi-
cans Of the committe, who have been unable to
resist the convictions Of their senses and their
understanding in regard to this whole Louisiana
business. 1t is no small credit to Speaker Blaine
and the class of Republicans that he represents

fend the Kellogg government or justify any Of
