RApicAL PRospERITY-Thc misrule
of Radicalism for the past ten years
proves as fatal to commercial prosper
ity as the cholera or yellow fever
plaques, which occasionally scourge
sections of our country. The assess
rhent returns OF our county when com.
pared with that of three years ago,
shows how deep tho malady has struck.
Although some progress has been made
in improvements within the past three
years, there is wonderful decline in
all kinds of property. To illustrate
Three years ago the seated lands OF
our county were valued at s3,070, ,S49,-
10; now the same lands are returned
at s2,79l, ,l70.l4, and the unseated at
s269l, ,7sl2s, while they were put
down in 1874 at 1885,, ,S3345. The
houses and lots in the boroughs OF the
county were valued at sI91 ,46O.l3 IN
1874 now they are valued at s7On,.
039.s0, Notwithstanding all tho i'm
provemcnts that have been made since
There is loss Of sl50,0O0 on houses
s25, 900 Oh cows, $4,000 on oxen, slO,-
600 on occupations aud $4,000 on bug,
gies and carriages. There is no gain
in anything except in watches, the re-
turn being s22325 to s191.25.

An EvIL.-The editor Of the Clinton
Democrat, in alluding to one of the
wrongs that Representatives frequent
ly tall into, says "Absenteeism is an
evil that afflicts political parties, and
more than once in their history has
the unnecessary absence Of u represent
ative been OF material injury. A case
in point is the absence of Lieutenant
Governor Latta from his seat few
days since when the State Senate pass
ed the bastard resolves TO boost up the
rotten cause OF Hayes aud Wheeler
Mr.. Ncwmeyer, a Radical, was in the
chair, and disgraced himself by par.
tisan ruling that cut off debate and
run the scare crow resolves through
under the party lash. Had Mr.. Latta
been in his chair, such ruling could
not have taken place. We do not know
why he was absent, but the fact is that
he was absent, and if he had been
there il would have been well for the
party and the interests of the people
in securing a fair expression on an i'm
portant matter that ought to have
been discussed. Eternal vigilance is
the price of Liberty" 1t is a sound
maxim, but unfortunately, it is TOO Of
ten honored by our representatives
more in the breach than in the oh.
servance.

BULL.DozING MoRToH.-The Phila.
delphia Times, in alluding TO the rag
ged edge" performances of the Indiana
Statesman, says "As might have been
expected Morton has fooled away with
the tattered bloody shirt over Alabama
elections until the decent Republicans
of the State have risen up to protest
against his persistent libcls on the
State people. Mr.. Delmos, q leading
Republican member of the Alabama
Legislature, has offered resolutions in
that body saying: 'Wepronounce any
statement affecting the fair name Of
the State in the matter OF elections Of
the past year. no matter from what
source it may como, as utterly devoid
of truth and without any foundation
whatever Now that Congress has
nestled down to a lawful inquiry into
the Presidential election, wouldn't it be
well Tor Morton to stop political bull.
dozing fora season? Ex-senator Revels,
the leading colored man in Mississippi,
and the first OF his race who sat in the
Senate, declares that Republican theft
and prohigacy made bis State Demo

slavery has been abolished. The Dem.

must keep an eye on the agents of this
corrupt unscrupulous firm, which is
just now endcavoring to establish a
Monarchy on the ruins of the Republic,
and have their blood declared the

again say TO the Democratic members
sec that tho members Of this firm OF
political free-booters are kept in the
vestibule of free government. Because,
if they are permitted to enter the holy

"this farce of government" as con.
vcntion of Radicals which met at Ridg.

be, and succeed in placing the Whine.
bago family permanently at the head
of all governmental affairs.

AN ExAMPLE.-An exchange says .
"Wade Hampton's father was mill.
ionaire when he died and he left to
each of his two daughters by his will,
100000; the rest of his property be
bequeathed to his only son. After the
funeral the will was shown to young
Wade. He read 1t thu ough very care
fully, and then threw it into the fire,
saying, an never consent to take a
larger share of the estate than tho
others, Let the property be divided
equally among the three This, il is
said, was actually done. Such is the
present Governor of South Carolina
The members of the "Bucktail Regi-
mcht" and other soldiers heard of him
at Bull Run, before Richmond, Gettys-
burg, etc, during tho war as a cavalry
leader He was wounded five times
during the late affair between the
North and the South, and to-day is one
of the most humane men that was
at the front during the rebellion. As
an example, carpet.baggcrs, scalawags
and many others had better initiate his
example. Under his advice South
Carolina will again become rich and
influential, and the political lice and
frogs which have infested and plumber
ed that proud Commonwealth for the
past twelve years will be compelled to
take wings and fly away, or spend
their days in prison.

DouBLINa Up.-We filed our protest
last week and denounced the huge
steal perpetrated on the State Treasu.
ry and Taxpayers last year by the
public robbers in this State, known by
the name Of the n. G.. Of Pennsylvania.
We notice that the thieves are endeav.
oring TO take million this year, four
times what they obtained last year,
and this movement has been seconded
by the men owned by Simon Cameron
4 Son, who are now rusticating ut
Harrisburg, in tho capacity of Sen
ators and members OF tho General As
sembly of this Commonwealth. II
gives US pleasure that this huge steal
was agreed upon in Radical caucus
where no Democrats were admitted.
All the Democrats need to "keep an
eye on, is, to see whether any of their
members vote with this band of con-
spirators to carry out their plundering
scheme.

COMMERCIAL INNOCENCE. - Some
smart individual last week drew a
s64 900 check on an Insurance Com.
pany in New York, and went TO one
of the city banks and had it cashed.
The fraud was not detected, until after
the bank officers had sent a number Of
checks to the office Of the Insurance
Company, among which were checks
for $4,000, sT5, 900 and sl50,00o, but
the bookkecper could find no stub
in the check book OF the Company to
fit to the $4,000 card Then only
was il discovered that some one had
perpetrated a forgery to that amount
The officers OF the bank are now look
ing for u man who looks like the chap
who pocketed the s6l, 900 and left the
institution without telling theofiicer just
where he resided The idea that such
a huge crime can be perpetrated in
this centennial yearof our civilization
is wonderful.

A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

The recent investigation of Con-
gressional Committee in the frauds
practiced on the ballot-box by the
Grant. Cameron leaders, has developed
one stubborn fact at last and that is,
that no Cabinet Minister should ever
be allowed TO serve in the capacity Of
Chairman of the National Committee.
How very odd that honest men like
'honest" Zack Chandler, must tall back
on their privileges as officers of the
government when they are called upon
to reveal the truth. Chandler was
called on to testify in regard to the
late elections in the South, but he re-
fused to answer the committee on the
ground that what passed between him
and Grant was of confidential nature
and he need not tell. So our govern.
ment is run like a secret society, and
whenever there is rascality at the bot
tom the rascals fall back on "privi-
leges." That is little too thin, and
the committee ought to stand up stiff
for its privileges, one OF which is the
right to examine witnesses and com.
pei them to answer. This thing Of a
member OF the Cabinet, as in Chand-
ler's case, undertaking to direct cam
paign, is an cfense against common
decency that should never be repeated,
and should be prevented by "appro-
pirate legislation" as Constitutional
amenders would say In the case Of
Chandler, the world has the spectacle
presented, that a member Of the Cabi.
net has been the instrument OF great
frauds practiccd on the elective fran.
chiso, and when called before com
mittee to State why these crimes were
committed, he falls back on his Cabi-
net dignity and refuses to tell why
those frauds were perpetrated. A
pretty spectacle for christian States
men to look upon 1t is wonder
Belknap did not think Of that 'privi-
lege" when similar committee pump
ed him.

VASpERBiLT's DOMESTIC LIFE.--To
bis family the late Commodore Van.
derbilt was kind, without being demon
strative. He expected his children to
do well in marriage and life, and had
little patience with those who contin-
ued dependent, Us several of them did.
One of bis relatives had passion for
borrowing, and on one occasion OBJ
tanned large sum OF money from the
late Horace Greeley, which he was un.
able to pay, Mr.. Greeley supposirg his
connection TO be security enough. But
the Commodore was not to be affected
BY the social or political consequences
of the lads creditor; he refused to pay
the borrowing and did not do il through
years, thereby leading to coolness
with the editor of the Tribune. AT
Greeley's death, however, when his
family was temporarily embarrassed,
Vanderbilt said< "Grecly's girls can
have any money they want" He is
said to have made his word good.
Vanderbilt once fitted this same boy
out with n farm and the young man
promised to make his own way in the
world after that. The Commodore had
his misgivings, but hoped for the best,
II was not long before the boy wrote
that the farm was gone and he had
nothing with which to buy food. In.
closing a stamp in letter, the old
man wrote Enclosed is fifty cents to
buy your breakfast. Go to work and
earn your dinner. Your atfcctionate

Down IT GoEs.-The nearer we ap.
proach President Tilden's inauguration

comes. 1t is now one hundred per
cent. less than II was a year ago, and
less than it has been for sixteen years.
After the 4th Of March, gold will be
worth no more than paper, as in former
good Democratic times, when bankers
used to say, (Which will you have,
gold or paper, for your chcck?" This
occurred at period when the govern.
ment was run without an army, aud
when the sale Of trader-posts, Credit
