PRoGREss or THE CONSPIRACY THE ac-
tion of the House on Monday on the army
bill is natural and logical sequel to their
revolutionary movement against President
Hayes. In spite of their protestations of
having no such purpose in view, every step
they take more clearly reveals to the country
that is the real and only object of the oonspi-
lacy. They intend that no such serious OBJ
stace as loyal and resolute national army
immovable in its fidelity to the government
and irresistible in the hands of Generals
Grant, sherman and Sheridan, shall be allow
cd to stand in the way of the consummation
Of their purpose. So on Monday they voted
20 reduce the army to 10000 men, and also to
transfer the Indian Bureau to the War De-
psrtment, in order to scatter the reduced force
throughout wide and remote expanse of
country An amendment was also adopted
which prohibits the use of the army as posse
comttatns for REFRESHING riots or strikes, for EN-
forcing the revenue laws in the South, for pro-
teotiug the negroes ald others in the exercise
Of their political rights &c. All these me6-
sures are logical steps in the revolutionary
movement which the Democrats have inaug-
urated.

PAYING THE PIPER.-Those who dance
must pay the piper, but Warren county
doesn't like it. There is trouble caused by
the recent Board of Freeholders and the Sher-
iff who during the July riots deputized q
large number of deputies, forty of whom put
in claims for services rendered the county,
The claims range from 1884 to $3.50. Some of
the men did not do q days duty but their
bills were paid. When the new Board of
Freeholders was organized committee was
appointed to investigate the accounts of the
Treasurer and Sheriff.
AT a meeting of the Board held at Belvi
dere on Tuesday, the Treasurer presented
new book and set of vouchers, which the
Board refused to audit, and it is expected
that the Sheriff will have to pay $4,000 or
$40, 900 out of his own pocket. The Board
consists of twenty one members, and fifteen
of them are in favor of thorough search in
10 the doings of the old Board, and expect to
be able to show to the taxpayers of the coun-
ty that they have been cheated out of large
sums Of money.
Wednesday the accounts of the County
Clerk were presented to be audited and prov
ing unsatisfactory to the Board they were re-
ferred to special committee for examination.
The Treasurer Of the county still refuses to
present his old books, and declares that he
will present none others than the new ones,
although the old ones are still in his possess
sion. Last Summer the Court House was en-
larged under a contract, and the Freeholders
have discovered orders overdrawn amounting
to $4,000
Some of the members of the old Board of
Freeholders, it is stated have returned some
Of the money which they have illegally recev-
ed, amounting to sums of from $1,000 up
ward.
When the books of the Steward of the Poor
Al.
among the bills paid was one for $500 for to-
bacco, one for 30 tons of pork, and another
for large amount of Java coffee, which the
new Board will not allow, as there was lot
half the number of inmates in the County
Aims House during the entire past year neces-
s.,ry to consume tho amount of provisions
which the bills paid for.

CLARK PfERsoN, EDITOR.
80 FR1UD.o

THIS word has lately suffered fearfully at
the hands of tile average Democratic news
paper editor. The more rural the sheet and
the more yerdaut the editor, the more fire.
quently he rings the changes on the word in a
given length Of space. Ons might suppose,
from the holy horror assumed by the Demo-
cratic editor, when be uses it, that he is not
aware that that word is tattooed completely
over the carcass of the Democratic party,
and that the charges of fraud he makes
against certain leaders of the Republicans, in
the late presidential contest, if true, are but
as a drop in the bucket, compared with the
crimes of the party that now cries Fraud"
The name of this SO called Democratic party
is fraud--it is not democratic it has always
been the servilo creature ofthe aristocIatc task
masters and F. F. VS. of the South and the
wealthy Belmonts and 1ildens of the North.
It's whole course has helped to degrade Ia
Dor, by sustaining slavery in the South and
free trade in the North. 1t made war with
Mexico to increase the area of slave territory !;
it mobbed men who claimed the right of free
speech it attempted by armed border ruff
fans to thwart a fair election in the territory
of Kansas it removed men from the Govern
orship of that territory who were true to hon
esty and liberty it carried the bludgeon of
the highwayman aud the pistol of the assassin
into the halls of Congress and struck down
Sumner and threatened others, without pro-
test from the party at large it encouraged
rebellion aided the South to steal our ships
and munitions of war sent the troops of the
nation to inaccessible points and failed to
bring the northern wing of it's forces to the
aid of those it had encouraged to out
break. 1t passed "Union " resolutions at
the North, and growled every time there
was anything done to hurt the rebels it has
pursued the same sinuous course since the
war; and for eight years had but ono single
principle, viz: sAnything to beat Grant"
To beat him it nominated a Republican who
detested Democracy as much as the De-
mocracy detested him it organized system
of murder, terrorism and outrage in the South
during the last Presidential campaign, by
which four five states we're fraudulenty car
ried for Sam Tden, aud then cried "fraud -
because it did not carry three other states by
the same means. 1t HIS during the present
session of Congress given six Democratic con-
gressmen seats who were elected to stay at
home it has cried s'reform" and gots its
fingers into the treasury whenever it could.
These are but very few of the many records
of the party that assumes to be the guardian
of the honor and purity of the nation. Is
there bigger FRAUD?
