MORE OF HI.

Hon. Proctor Knott, of kentucky,
recently delivered speech at Taylors-
vile, in that State, in which he asserted
thst the next few years would reveal an
amount of corruption heretofore unex=
ampled in all our history. Various in
iquitous schemes, some of which are
now Matching, would be brought for
ward to ''reyive the dropping energies
of the South urged by cliques and
rings for self-interest, while the dear
people would have to pay. Perhaps
Mr.. Knott takes too gloomy view OF
the situation. We have seen enough
of corruption lately heaven knows AS
to the operations of cliques and rings
the public has become quite familiar
with them, and that some large 'Jobs
are on the tapis will be developed pref
ty soon after the meeting of Congress is
well known. 1t is to be hoped the hon.
est, sterling good sense of the country
will be equal to the emergency, and
will promptly put veto upon all
"grabs," come from whatever source
they may.

GRANT.

Gen. Grant is having "high old
time" abroad, He is being wined and
dined to his hearts content. All the
big folks of England are soliciting the
favor of his company, and the Queen
herself makes unusual concessions IN re-
gard to the presentation of the General
and his wife, All this perhaps is very
gratifying TO the party receiving it, out
sfter all there is considerable turnkey
ism in it, and the contrast between the
transformations Emperor OF Brazil, Dom
Pedro, and our republican ex-President
OH their travels is quite marked. Dom
Pedro refused to be party to anything
like parade, and went quietly about his
business. Grant, on the contrary, seems
10 be fond of aGulation and ''fuss and
feathers" generally. However, if the
British can stand it we suppose Grant
can, for he is tough customer, as they
will find out. Seriously, if Grant will
only refrain from making speeches, no.
BODY on this side will object to his hay
ing good time, but We home folks
don't quite see that the General is true
representative of the American states
man, and would infinitely prefer that he
would leave his STEW remarks unsaid.

TROUBLE AHEAD.

There is discomfort among the radi-
zeal politicians. They are not satisfied
with the policy of MIR. Hayes. 1t is al
together TOO conservative. Things are
moving along entirely too smoothly.
There is not excitement enough, ard
worst OF all, they are not being consult.
ed by the President in regard TO the
appointments, Of course this last is
mortal sin, and not TO be tolerated.
When Congress assemblies it is antici-
pated that some Of the bolder OF the red
republicans will make war upon the
President, and more especially upon his
Southern policy. Gen. Butler, it is
thought aspires to be the leader of the
pack, but as his bite is about on a par
with his bark, the administration will
probably await the onslaught with per-
feet calmncss, and will meantime pur-
sue the even tenor Of its way, which so
far has met with the approval OF the
great body OF the people. Indeed no.
body seems TO care particularly what
the wayers of the "bloody shirt" may
do or say, as their power for evil seems
to lie pretty well spent. Peace has
come, and il is believed now by all that
they have not The power to break it
The people will otherwise and that is

WONAN'S SPHERE.

1t turns out after all that woman can
do something more than the mere druid
gerry of the household, and ye lord OF
creation must look to his laurels. In
Wyoming Territory women act as sher-
ifs, justices of the peace, constables,
jury-wo coroners, etc., and 1t IS
said are great success. AS justices OF
the peace they are thoroughly impartial,
A Mrs. Julia Weiler,a territorial squire,
had her husband brought before her for
being drunk. She proved equal to the
occasion, and sentenced him for the full
penalty-six months Imprisonment.
During recent local election there was
great excitement. Pistols and bowie
knives were in every hand, and words
that couldn't be found in any current
religious work were being used freely.
Suddenly there was shout, "Ihe Ia

Rag Our LITTLE Drummer Boy
Master Harry Greenwood, of our town,
has attracted considerable notice, with
his drum, in attending recently large
gatherings of people. AT the decora'
ton of the Cemetery at Sharpsburg, a
few weeks ago, he seemed to be the
centre of attraction, as well as at Ha-
gerstown, On Tuesday OF last week. In
speaking of the confederate ceremonies
on that occasion, the Hagerstown Mail
says
"The people were again called TO the
stand by Harry Greenwood, aged five
years, the boy drummer of Shepherds
town, accompanied by the FIFE OF his
grandfather, Mr. James W. Greenwood.
The solemn little fellow stood upon the
speakers stand, rolling his drum in per-
feet tune, as if undisturbed by the hun
dreds VINO were looking at and wonder
ing at him"

HIS POLICY.

On Monday night last delegation OF
gentlemen from Alabama called upon
the President, aud during the interview
Mr. Hayes laid aside his usual reserve
and spoke freely of his policy. He said
lie was not in the habit of using the
'term 'carpet-bagger, that he did not
propose to use it how, but he would say
that it would net be part of his policy
to appoint to Office Northern men who
went to the South simply for the pur-
pose of obtaining place. 1t was, how
ever, his ernest desire to promote inter
communication between the different
sections of the Union, and when North
ern men settled in the South with the
sincere purpose Of Identifying them
selves with its material interests he
should consider that they had the same
right OF citizenship as perta;ned TO the
na,iye-born inhabitants, and in the dis
lribution of patronage, all other things
being equal, the claims OF the former
would receive the same consideration as
the claims of the latter He also re-
marked that he would ''be glad to have
the assistance Of Senators in making his
appointments, but the views Of other
representative men must also have con-
sidera,ion." This plain talk by the
President will send cold chill down
the spine of the carpet baggers, but all
genuine friends of the peace and welfare
of the country will be rejoiced:

BS STARTLING DIsCovERY!-WHAT
Does IT MEAN?-A citizen of the Kama
vha Valley, writes to the Huntington,
w. Va, Advertiser, as follows, under
date of June g.
"While in Richmond few days ago,
I walked into the Auditors office to
have a talk with my old friend, Gener-
al Rogers, the accomplished Auditor of
Virginia. Whilst there, | was asked
by friend if there was any secret I'M
Outstanding between our authorities
and John W. Garrett, Esq, in relation
TO the claim upon West Virginia tor
S15,OOO,OOO of the State debt. l asked
my friends what he meant. wv ny,
said he, "didnt you know that Mr.. Car
rett and his agents are buying up the
certificates for 100000 OF the State
debt which Virginia has set apart for
your State to pay, and a transfer OF
million dollars has just been made to
him?" then went 10 work to satisfy
myself, and made the startling discovery
that NJ. Garrett and his agents held
over 81, 100000 of these certificates.
farther heard, upon good authority,
that he had instructed firm in Rich
mond TO buy up all that were offered
for sale at certain prices. Will You
please warn our people Of the fact!
The Huntington .8duertissr, upon in
formation of the above, states as fol-
lows:-
An INFAMOUS SCHEME.-John ".
Garrett, the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road King, will soon own the Virginia
claim of S15,000,000 on this State.
Since the proposition to locate the Cap
ital at Clarksburg, on this road, he
has been buying it up at from 5 to 9
cents on the dollar. He owns Clarks-
burg and its approaches. He is the king
of that country. Now, once let him get
the Capital of the State in his kingdom,
and, with his millions, he will soon hold
the purse strings of the State Tie
people will be taxed to pay this misera-
BILE claim. Fifteen millions Of dollars
debt upon our little State! How 90
our people like the prospect? This is
why the Baltimore aud Ohio road is SO
anxious for us to locate the Capital at
Clarksburg. "WiIl you walk into my
parlol? said the spider TO the fly.
The advertiser, in another editorial,
remarks as follows:-
Why THE CAPITAL Is WANTED AT
CLARKsBUEG.-It is well known that
the State OF Virginia has set apart, and
issued certificates therefor, Sl5, 100000
of her Indebtedness, to be paid by West
Virginia, as her part Of the old State
Indebtedness. These certificates, John
w. Garrett, President of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, is busily engaged in
buying up. Our latest advice were
that he had purchased $l,4O0,O0O of
this debt, Now, locate tie Capital at
Clarksburg, OH the b. e o. r. r.,
and what will be the result! Mr.. Gar
rett will bring all the immense power
of his gigantic corporation to bear on
the Legislatures that meet there, and
the first thing our people know, they
will be saddled with this debt. We
warn the people of the State to Use in
their majesty, and defeat thi1 Infamous
scheme.

BE- The Frederick Citizen in speak

sO> The Frederick Citizen in speak
ing of the disaster on the B, & Q. Il.
r., at Point of Rocks, says
One of the sad scenes of the occasion
was the wounding and subsequent death
of Mr.. Lewis ii. Schley, of this city.
IN the wreck covered up with timbers
and iron, was the young man, and when
he discovered his father among those
who were working to extricate him, he
called him to the hole or window, stat
ing that his leg was broken and that he
could not get out alive; taking from
his finger gold ring, he handed it out,
saying "keep this father to remember
me" After he was taken out OF the
wreck a couch was hurriedly made, and
upon it was placed the mangled body
OF the sufferer. Gathered around him
were his heroic mother, his loving sis
tiers and devoted father Every atten-
ton was given him. The Doctors soon
discovered that young and promising
life was about to be torn from the dear
ones around him. After waiting over
three hours and finding no reaction, it
was determined upon consultation to
afhputate the manglad leg. About this
time wrecker's train arrived from Bal
timore, bringing Col Thos. Sharp, Mas
ter of Transportation, DR.. Walls, the
surgeon of the company and Dr.-of
Howard county. The sad intelligence
of the almost hopeless condition of the
sufferer, and the determination OF the
doctors was conveyed to the family,
who by this time numbered his father
and mother, two sisters and only broth
er. They withdrew a short distance,
and the knife and instruments Of the
Physicians were soon engaged in the
work of amputation. The teint hopes
of revival were in vain, science could
not master the monster death, and in a
few moments all that was mortal of
Lewis H. Schley had passed away.

A GOVERNORS VIEWS.

Governor Robinson, of New York,
on Monday night last was present at
private banquet, and during the evening
made speech in which he used these
significant words: 81 recognize with
sorrow the light regard for the most
solemn obligation of the constitution,
which has become the curse OF Amer;
can politics. cannot ignore the fraud
and corruption of the hour, which, pass
ing from the circle Of small things, has
at last laid hold upon the highest place
in the nation. We must recognize and
meet this evil. The pathway CT fraud
ulent elections is the highway to nation
al death. Ii the republic is to endure
we have looked for the last time upon
the Inauguration of national executive
who was never elected" These words
should be pondered we'll by everybody,
They are the embodied opinion OF the
great mass of our thoughtful people,
and may be taken also as the sentiments
of one Of the great parties of the coun-
try, In this connection it may be sta
ted that our electoral system must be
done away with in order that the nation
may not again be brought face to face
with dangers similar to those through
which it has just passed. With that
done we would at least be safe from the
manipulations of returning boards and
electoral commissions,
