THE CONFIDENCE PRINCES.
She is q short, thick set woman, about
40 years of age, Of rather respectable
appearance, II it were not for Satery
ewes and an uncommoulJ red nose sug-
gesting the suspicion of iipPiing. She
took the matter quite unconcernedly,

Mail Changes in the Juniata
Valley,

Within the past few days the mail agents
have been taken off the way passenger rail-
road trains, and all concentrated on fast
through mail trains. To get the nail on
the Fast Line, this change requires the
mail bags to be hung on a stand near
the track on which the fast trsins pass. An
iron rod is thrust out Of the mail car ts
catch the bag. and in a majority of cases
when mail is past the usual weight the
rod fails to hold it, and it is not taken on
that train, but drops to The ground, and
must be taken back to the Post Office,
to await the next train that carries
the mail. The late arrangements seem
to have been made entirely in The in
terests of through mails, for cities. The
country, local people, can endure great
deal. but they do not like TO be ignored en-
tirely. The ocean may be large body of
water, but what would the ocean be without
the streams that feed it Can the Post
Office Department take hint

a Back Salary Grabber.

A few years agahe Democracy of
this State claimed be quite virtu-
Gus when it refused TO allow Mr.. Mil
ton Speer, of Huntingdon, to act as
President of a State Convention, be
cause he was a back salary grabber.
Their virtue was all pretension, real
sham, as is evidenced by the fact that
Mr.. Samuel Randall, also a Back
Salary Grabber, has been made
Speaker of the Lower House of Con-
gress. Mr.. Randall is at the head of
that part of the Democratic party
that talks Of seeding from Congress
and inaugrating a wa, if Tilden is
not declared elected.

Who Will Fight I?

A city paper asks the above, and an
swers it quite wisely, as follows:
Pray, who is gong to fight. Sup
pose Mr. Hayes Is declared properly
elected by the Congressional committees,
are the Northern Democratic leaders
going to shoulder their muskets and 60
to war! Ii they do, they will do much
mere than they did in 1861, when they
left the South in the lurch to fight out
the battles to which they had urged
and persuaded them. Do these North
ern Democratic leaders imagine South
ern men have forgotten that turn Let
them ask any Southern man who fought
against the Union In the late war, and
they will get a very disagreeable an
swer. The Southern men are net going
to fight. They have been through all
that, and have learned that war is not a
pleasant or useful way TO settle politi-
cal disappointmen.s or wrongs.
Or suppose Mr.. Tilden is declared
elected by The committees, who is going
to fight. Shall we bear of Republican
leaders shouldering their swords to re-
sist :. Not they for they know per-
fectly we'll that if Mr.. Tilden is elected
they will have to submit. because the
American people of both parties will
make them submit
Who will fight! We can tell the
politicians of both parties whom both
can equally count on. Not the decent.
industrious men who earn &c bread
aud support their families. No; their
army will! consist of the Five Points
thieves, the burglars, the robbers, the
noble corps of tramps, the assemblage
of the unGetected Of the rag tag and
bobtail who happen to be out Of Jail.
These would answer TO their summons,
and marching at the head of such a
Falstaff's brigade, what reception do
these vaporers Imagine they would get
from the respectable part of the CON-
munityt An army whose business will
be to rob, to steal, to set on fire private
dwellings, to empty shops, which will
see an enemy in every bale of dry
goods, aud whose greatest triumph
would be an act Of arson which would
send it, rank and file, to State Prison
that is the kind of army on which
fighting Republ,ca. on one side, and
a set of unfedged Democratic generals
equally innocent Of war, on the other
may count. and We wish them joy il
advance Of their inpatient recruits.

B. F. S II w EIER,
rprros AND PRopREroR.
Their Constituents Should Call
Them Home, to Resign That
will Stop the War Talk.
There is q prominent Philadelphia
Democrat named Randall, and promi-
pent New York Democrat Lamed " Wood,
in Congress.
These men, with few others Of the
same infammable material, have been
veEtilating themselves lately in a most
warlike manner.
Viewed from their standpoint, there
is no remedy for a squabble among men
who are in office, and men who are out
of Office and wish to get Tito Office, but
10 get up fight about it, and involve
the whole country in ruinous and dead
Iy strife.
The American doctrine is that there
is peaeeable remedy for all wrongs
Sometimes the wrongs must be endured
long time, but proper presentation
of them time after time to the people
will bring about a sure and certain
peaceable remedy.
The noisy Randall and clustering
Wood never knew that, or if they know
1t they disregard that fact entirely.
1t was the disregard of just that doc
trine by Southern men in 1861 that
brought all the ills On them that they
now complain Of.
Randall and Woods have 10 right to
talk of civil war as a remedy for the
contest of men for Office they have
not been sent to Congress for that pur-
pose. 1t is an outrage on their con-
stituency to SO violate the plainest of
American doctrines, the very founda-
ton principles of the Republic.
Their constituents should petition
them to resign and come home. Their
places there could be filed by election,
BY men who insist that the troubles
for Office be settled in peaceable way
10 accordance with the spirit Of the
country.
The people can soon settle the blather
of these advocates of revolution and
war by calling them home.
The people are the masters, and they
will net have revolution and war 10
satisfy the ofice seekers and Office
holders.
If you have a Congressman, be be a
Republican or Dem ocrat, who declares
for revolution and war as the only
remedy, just get up petition asking
him to come home, that you can elect
another man who understands the spirit
of the American Government better.
Ii frauds have been committed they
must be reached by civil means, and if
these means fail once, twice, thrice, or
oftener, they must still be persisted in
until the reform has been accomplished.
When force is employed there is an
end of peaceable government.
The people do not believe that tie
end of peaceable government has come,
they know better.
The people are not afraid 70 fight for
their rights whenever it is necessary to
do SO, and they do not now propose to
have their rights violated by allowing
men whom they have sent to Congress
to act and speak in such way as if
the whole system Of Government is
farce, and that all trouble of whatso-
ever kind cannot be settled by peace
able processes.
They are the Office holders and Office
seekers who are talking in that way.
Let ,ll such be petitioned to resign and
come home. That will stop the war
