The Susser Herald, Democratic sheet,
is evidently alarmed at the inroads of the
Greenbac party in that county, and goes
cunning after DIR. Larson, the Greenback
candidate for Congress. 1t publishes what
purports to be a statement of the taxes paid
by DIR. L., and tries to convict the Doctor of
making incorrect statements. Its staten emit
purports to come from a reliable Democrat -
in this county. This Democrat may lie and re-
Tic, but he is not reliable His statement of the
Doctors taxes and standing is not correct, and
he knowsit. The Doctor is championinga very
poor cause, in our opinion but the attacks
upon him by certain papers and persons, show
that the animus is not so much ON account Of
his Greenback principles as it is that he is no
longer working in the Democratic traces.

MORE "BuLLDozING IN LoUIsIANA.-A
Shreveport, La, dispatch says The Republi-
cans held public meeting, yesterday at
Spring Ridge, twenty miles from here, ac-
cording to previous notice. A large number
were present. Democrats gathered in force,
some from adjoining parishes and others from
distance, and claimed the meeting. Final
ly joint discussion was agreed upon, with
the understanding that it should be properly
and peaceably conducted. The first Republi-
can speaker was interrupted, insulted and
stopped. After much trouble order was re-
stored until the last speaker, William Harper
(colored), State Senator, rose. He had
scarcely begun to speak before riot was
started. Harper was not allowed to speak,
the meeting was broken up, and the Republi-
cans present were insuted and threatened by
men with drawn weapons. Everything indi-
Gated an organized plan to murder the leaders
of this parish (Caddo) who were present. The
parish is known to be overwhelmingly Repub-
| lcan, bat the Democrats have organized to
terrorize the Republicans.

SOMETHING FOR HONEST MEN 10
THINK ABOUT!

1t is known by voters of both parties
in this county that for years the debt of the
county has been increasing until now it reach
es nearly ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS,
and that part at least of this sum has been
unnecessarily and corruptly contracted. 1t is
also known that some very crooked practices
have been charged against certain members of
the Board of Freeholders, but, owing to the
strange selection of grand jurors made by
some of the Sheriffs, it has been impossible to
get any of these corrupt officials indicted, al
though positive evidence has been brought
against them. 1t is believed that if fair in
vestigation were made by grand jury, COR
ruptions almost equa ling that of Warren Co.
could be unearthed.
Now it is evident that no assistance can be
expected from the corrupt Pidcock ring in
this work, and if Pidcock's favorite is elect
ed, is it likely that efforts will be made to
bring these men to justice ? By the law of
New Jersey, no person can be indicted for a
crime such as is charged against these Free
holders, after two years has elapsed since its
commission SO that il these men can put of
the day of retribution for year or So they
are beyond the reach of law.
Every honest man who wishes corruption
rebuked should vote for JOSEPH HAINEs.

Do you really think | should permit the

THREE MILLIONS SToLEN-A Bank Rifed
6y Masked Burglars. Manhattan Saw
ings Institution of New York city was rob-
bed of nearly three millions of dollars in Sc
curties and money on Sunday morning by
band of masked burglars. The burglars en-
tered the janitor's sleeping room, handcuffed
him and his wife, and forced him to surreud-
or the keys OF the vault and the secret of the
combination of the lock. They then entered
the vault, where they remained nearly three
hours, breaking open the safe and rifling it of
portion of its contents. They carried away
$2,747, 700 in bonds and $11, 900 in cash. OF
the bonds, $2,506, 700 are registered and $685.
600 are payable to the order of the institution
The numbers of these are given by the New
York press, and it is not believed that the
thieves will profit largely from their robbery
The bank has decided to take the benefit of
the sixty days act in order to prevent dis
astrous run. There is no clue to the burglars
but the conduct of the iantor has caused some
suspicion to fall on him.

dwelling houses were unroofed or otherwise

several were damaged considerably. The loss

At Mount Washington the wind blew at the
