EVERY TRUTHFUL report from the
South fully proves that the Republican
party is effectually crushed out by the
vilest system of terrorism that ever
disgraced a barbarous nation-not to
say one that pretends to be civilized.
This is nothing newt is the old story
of slavery renewed another struggle
of the oligarchy to regain what they
foolishly lost by the rebellion. Yet if
Republicans refer to these things as
good and sufficient reasons for reject
ing the rule of this class of people, we
are accused of keeping up sectional
strife-of arraying the North against
the South just as though it was aorong
to refer to the past history by which
to Judge Of the future. Our Northern
| Democrats can see no reason for excus-
ne or apologizing for this peculiar
manner Of expressing the freedom of
political thought. Shooting, burning
and lynching or any brutal or torcibIe
means that may be used there against
political opponent, there it is all
right, but for Northern people to speak
of such things when their sufrages are
asked in order to restore rebel rule.
Why, that is to keep up strife, to re
vive burning animosities, to array one
section against the other. Why not
! let such little matters rest in the grave
Of oblivion. Q, yes, let by-gones be
! by-gones, let US peaceably submit to
domination, and then see, what lovely
times we will have-paying a few bills
it will be a good time for more
bloated bond-holders and high tariffs.
See how willing we Democrats are to
submit to the behest Of humane
friends South, -some naughty Repub-
! licans call them our masters. What
care we what they are called, so that
we can enjoy some of the Offices
which we can't hope to under Repub-
ican rule.

Sec'y Belknap's Malfeasance.

The reports from Washington con-
corning the iniquities in the War De-
partment are Of the most grave and
astounding character
It is shown beyond all possibility of
doubt that immense frauds have been
perpetrated with the cognizance, if
not by the connivance of Secretary
Belknap, whereby thousands of dollars
have been realized, accrulng to the in
dividual benefit Of the Secretary family
aud immediate friends, in the sale of
post-trading Offices on the frontier.
The sums realized by the preparation
of this new species of Secretaryship
deyiltry vary from $4,000 to $4,000
and $4,000 dollars. The Fort Sill
l. I. Trading Post netted the hand
some sum of 10000 or $4,000 dollars
per year. This was an unusually good
thing. When it is considered that
these Offices are. like other positions,
supposed to be bestowed upon trust
worthy and competent men, and that
the attempt to buy or BRIDE ones way
into such position has ever been con-
sidered an offence against the integrity
Of the nation, as it certainly should
be a reproach upon individual charac-
ter; the enormity of the crime be-
comes apparent, touching as it does,
the integrity of the Executive branch
of our government, as with the foul
hand Of leprosy. Sec'y Belknap has
shown himself to be not only fraud,
but most weak mon. The sins OF
commission have been with his full
sanction through the operations of his
wife and wife's sister in order to sup
port species of extravaganza which
was Of itself deplorably wicked, and
doubly SO, when the monies to support
so much Of vanity have been levied
upon the nations free offerings which
no shadow Of precedent, amid all the
corruption Of national politics hitherto,
has even remotely, directly or Indirect
ly established.
General Belknap has been one of
the trusted advisers of the President.
His high position enabled him to COW
er the crimes of which he has been
guilty. He is a republican, but this
fact will not shield him from the pun
ishment he justly deserves. Let him
step down and out, or rather be made
so to do, Invested Of every civil right
to which he has been hitherto entitled
to enjoy, branded as "thief' and
''robber," and let his name be re-
proach in all the land. ''Let no gull
ty man escape"

RUDOLPH. Wis, March 4, 1876.
is that the great smoke and confu-
sion raised by the finance question IN
yolving contraction, expansion, 1865
bonds, specie resumption and other
kindred matters being discussed
through the press and rostrum, will
entirely obscure the more vital ques-
tion--one that more intimately con-
Germs all the people, than all other
questions put together the mainte-
nance of our liberties-or submission
to Southern rule through Democratic
domination. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the South is almost unit
under rebel terrorism, with a few
Northern States carried by the Demo
Gratis our subjug cation will be complete.
Who can contemplate such an event
without a shudder of horror. Yet
the thing is almost accomplished.
The obsequiousness Of the Northern
Democratic leaders as manifested IN
Congress the present winter but too
clearly proves that the days Of cring-
ing dough-faced sycophants, is revived
again as in the palmy DAYS of slavery.
No one posted in the past political his
tory, can doubt for a moment that
there is a large and powerful party
amongst us perfectly willing to place
the whole power of the Nation in the
hands of those that have crushed out
liberty at the South, as effect1Ially as
did Russian rule when it proclaimed
that peace reigned in Warsaw. :"
As, for the purpose of concealing the
real designs, the internal iniquity
about to be consummated on the peo-
pie of the United States, the currency
question will be thousand times mag
nifed, dissentions will be encouraged
by all the arts and subtlety that party
intrigue can invent. The prize is a
great one-the desperation to win viii
be in proportion to its greatness. II
will require all the vigilance and con-
summate ability of the Republican
party to arouse the people to a proper
sense Of their danger Thousands be-
lieve the fnapcial question the all i'm
portant one, indeed the only one wor-
thy Of consideration. No greater
mistake was ever made by a Liberty
loving people. The people ought to
be made to see that the financial ques-
ton, great as it appears, is one OF ut
ter insignifcance, when compared to
the loss of our liberties, by tamely
submitting to Southern Terrorists.
For be it known that the rebels are
more intolerant than ever before, more
firmly bound up in the States rights
doctrine viz That the union is con-
federation to be dissolved at any mo-
ment when the parties become dissat-
isfed with each other. This doctrine
is more rampant to-day at the South
than ever before. What could the
question Of paying few billions of
rebel claims weigh when placed in the
balance with that other, mightier, most
vital of all questions, dear to every
American heart, the perpetuity of the
Union. Why then place in power a
party so inimical to say the least, to
the preservation of the unity OF these
States forever.

Teachers Association.


Inc meeting of the teachers of
W ood 90. which was announced in
iasC weeks papers came off pursuant to
previous announcement. Supt. Gar
riSon acting as President, G. L. Ham
llton was appointed Secretary, Chas.
Blake, Critic.
The programme which had been pre-
vlously arranged was then carried out
attended with much interest on the
part OF the teachers present and show
ing thorough understanding, on the
part OF those who conducted the exercis
es, OF the subject under consideration.
The exercise in Arithmetic by G..
Blake was attended on his part by
considerable embarrassment, yet he ex-
planned the principle of finding the
&. c. D. very nicely. The exercise
on the History Of Wisconsin, by E.
Lynch, was executed with good effect
and showed thai Mr.. Lynch had taken
great pains in preparing his part Of
the programme.
But it was plain that both these
gentlemen are lacking somewhat in
confidence in themselves and I acou7d
suggest that they join oar Debating
Society and thereby o9ear off some of
that diHdence achich makes 1t SO diff
cult for persons to get up and tell wh al
they hnog.
Next came Primary teaching by
Miss Shaw with a class of little schol-
ars. This, to me, was the most inter-
esting part of the whole exercise.
Miss Shay is an experienced teacher,
and one who sees her conduct a class
cannot help seeing that she has made
good use of her experience.
Then came some good sound hints
to teachers by Prof Stewart.
After deciding when they would
meet again and appointing a commit
tee to arrange programme they ad-
journed for four weeks or until All
Fools day, when it is expected there
will be large attendance.

Reply to Jefferson Davis.

NORWICH, February 7.-Warren
Lee Goss, President Of the National
Union Of Andersonville Survivors,
has written letter to the Bulletin
replying to Jefferson Davis assertion
that the mortality Of the Confederate
prisoners in Union hands was in great
er proportion than that of Union sol
diers in rebel prisons. Mr.. Goss
quotes the Federal War Department
figures, showing the total captures of
soldiers and citizens by the Confeder-
ate forces to have been 1S8, AS. And
it is estimated that of these, half were
actually confined in prisons. The
number of deaths in Confederate pris-
ons was SO, 401, consequently the per
cent, of mortality in prisons was over
3S 34, and the per cent. on the entire
captures about 10 3-8. The number
Of captures by the Union forces was
476, 1862 actually confined (the rest
being paroled or exchanged), 327, $40;
per cent. of mortality in prisons 13 IL;
per cent of mortality of whole num-
Der of captures, 6 1-3 Thus the NOR
tality in rebel prisons was about three
times as great as that in Union prisons.
Mr. Goss also quotes the official report
of the Confederate Inspector Of Pris-
ons, Lieut.. Col. d. T Chandler, who
is favorably Endorsed by the Confeder-
ate Assistant Secretary Of War, to
show that recommendations were act
ually made to Davis Cabinet to re-
place Gen. Winder, commandant at
Andersonville, with some one more hui
name, and the only notice taken there
of by Davis was to promote Winder
to the position of Commissary General
Of all the Confederate prisons.

was consequently arrested and taken to
