The Investigation.

1t is certainly a subject of congra-
tulation, that the Democratic party
has "sammed up nerve' sufficient to
enter into a vigorous investigation Of
the frauds, which all know to have
been perpetrated, whereby Hayes was
enaugurated as President and the
rightful choice Of the people deprived
of that Office.
The purpose of this investigation,
as the mere fact that it had been or
dered, meets, as it should, the ap.
plause of all honorable and right
thinking men. That the frauds
were committed, shameful outrageous
frauds at that, no one, in this section
at least, and conversant with the his
tory of the times, will deny and that
Hayes was not either directly or in
directly connected with, and had not
knowledge of them, is an assertion
90 bald that people here would re-
gard the man who attempted to sus-
tain the hypothesis as either idiotic
or insane.
There is an element in politics, and
they are not of to-day or yesterday
bat have dragged on all honorable
peopleand parties from the earliest
history, which would have US resort
to future expedients, in dealing with
such monstrous questions as these,
and abandon past experience. Such
an element can only be actuated in
this instance, asi it has always been,
by personal motives.
The settlement Of the presidential
embrolio of 1876 was, to our mind,
quite easy. All that was necessary
was a strict obedience to the Constitu-
t,on. What strikes US as the most
senseless of drivel is this call from
some people for claw which will pre-
vent the recurrence of such frauds as
enaugurated Hayes" at the expense,
We beg to add, of the very genius Of
liberty and law. The very law which
these revolutionists overran was
clothed with as much form, both in
verbage and sanctity, as any we
could now enact. If they had no res
pect for the present plain law, is it to
be supposed these people would have
reverence for any Laws The propo-
sition is simply preposterous.
The remedy was lost sight of, or
if apparent, as We believe it was, it
was shirked in a most cowardly man
ner. It was not law that wonld have
resisted the onslaught of traitors, it
,ras force and its application was not
had simply because our leaders were
cravens. "Constitutions," Macauley
tells as, "exist in vain for those who
have not the will to maintain them,"
and the attempted subversion of the
liberty of the people through the
forms of law began with Antiphon
and bis government Of four hundred
and had not ceased with the American
Congress in 1876.
The Democracy of principle, is,
however, asserting itself, and our par
~ proposes, at whatsoever cost, to
not ouly prove these frauds, by which
the ballot, that sacred prerogative of
a freeborn citizen was subverted, but
to punish the perpetrators.
Let the Committee search to the
bottom, no matter who it hurt.

Republicanislll.

III any CAluS was """Vou :" P'
that Republicanism is the naked foe
Of the peace Of this country-that, if
it ever had a "mission,' that mission
was long since accomplished, that
want is supplied by the following
plank from the Pennsylvania Repub'
lican platform, recently adopted at
their convention at Harrisburg:
That we are now, as ever, opposed
to the payment of claims from
the national treasury to those lately
engaged in or sympathizing with the
rebellion. No conquerer should be
forced to pay indemnity to the con
quered, aud the presentations of bills
demanding over $3O0,O0O,O0O at the
present session of a Democratic honse
is a warning to the country of the
cost and danger of retaining in pow
er party whose chief aim is to make
reprisals on the taxpayers for losses
which the crime of treason brought
upon the Southern people.
The South is here willfully charged
with an attempt to "raid the treas
uy," in the payment of Indemnity
to the conquered" when such a
charge is known falsel'ood. This
wicked attempt to alarm the caution
and economy of the North, is the last
shred upon which the Republican par
ty hopes to contest for political power.
What are the facts Of this charge ?
Mr.. Money, Of Mississippi, in aspeech
of recent date, shows this "claim
business9 in its true light, and his
mastery effort completely routs the
radical howlers.
He shows that these economists
constitute themselves the guardians
of the public treasury from every
quarter save their own.
The total amount Of money expend-
ed by the Government, from the adop
ton of the Federal Constitution
down to Both June, 1873, to the
Northern States, has been 1927 1885,
2O2 II. TO the South $7l ,84l ,58l rs.
And in land, for the North, 176,0OO,-
900 acres, to the South, 100000
acres. Nor is this vast sum of money
and area of land sufficient to satisfy
the craving demands of these guard
ians The North clamors at the
treasury doors no'c for one billion 6re
Mndred millions and t~enty-t'co thou
sandsthirty: fire dollars and thirty cents.
Before this stupendous sum, which
bewilders the mind, the mite Of $780,
100000 sinks into insignifcance and
still they tell US that the South, tho
reasonable South, is bent on wreck
ing the treasury.
Out upon such party; reduced to
the miserable extremity Of open faced
lying for an issue upon which to sap.
peal for support. With a President
in the chair plundered from tue peo-
plea steal and a fraud ; with its
Congressman whooping-on to the
strong box Of the government vocif
erously claiihipg a billion and one half
of money, it bas the shameless cheek
to charge the South with an attempt
at robbery.
Such a party deserves, as it will re-
ceiye, the condemnation of American
honor and manhood everywhere. 1t
has lived it's days Of blood, of outra-
ges, of violence and calumny, and
will go down to its grave justly en-
balmed in infamy. ~

A New Way to Collect House Rent.

A man who was living in house,
finding the rent too high for these hard
times, moved out, leaving a small balance
due, which the owner repeatedly dunned
him for, but, becoming tired, gave it
up. His wife was not one of the give
up kind, and was determined to have
the rent, so when the husband gave it
up she commenced to dun, and after
calling several times and not getting
the money, her dander rose, and she
told the man if he did not pay she
would send her husband over to beat
the rent out of his body. The renter
mildly inquired if that was the way she
collected all of her rent. The woman,
thinking she had struck the right key
and had him scared, said it was. Then
in the same mild manner he told her
that would suit him and that he would
take the house by the year and her hus-
band could come around for the rent
whenever he felt like it,weekly, month.
ly or quarterly, or he could leave it TIL
the end of the year, when he could
give it to him with big interest.-keo

On to Bear Paw.

There is gold III the Bear Paw noun.
talns-gold in paying quantities-whole
loads of gold! At least that is what
the best authority that can be obtained
says upon the subject. One of the best
indications that there is truth in the
rumor about gold in these mountains is
the stampede of miners from the Black
Hills to the new diggings. From a re-
liable source we learn that the excite
ment over the discovery of gold in the
Bear Paw mountains is raging high at
Deadwood. In fact, it is said to in
crease as each daily mail from the
north brings cheering information.
The news spread like wild fire, and
Bear Paw is said to be the popular
theme, and is spoken of enthusiastical-
ly by all. The exodus from the hills is
very great and threatens to not only in
crease largely, but also to drain the
country of what little current money
1t contains. The Bismarck coach de-
Parts every afternoon loaded down with
passengers who are obliged to engage
passage several days ahead in order to
secure it. Several large parties have
already departed across the country,
and many others are preparing for the
trip Already about one hundred men
of all classes of society, old and young,
have taken up their line of march to
the Bear Paw mountains. The latest
and mest reliable information in regard
to the new mines is from j. j. Healey,
a well-klown Montanian, who has Wis
tied the bcality himself, and writes in
telligently and in very encouraging
tone. In q letter to John Manning,
sheriff of headwood, he states that but
meagre developments have as yet been
made, but what little has been done
demonstrates beyond all doubt that
gold in paying quantities exists in all
of the many Itreams flowing from the
mountains. There is no danger to be felt
by miners from the Indians, as Gen.
Brooke and a large force of soldiers
have located in the mountains for the
purpose of protecting them from the
hostile indians. The fact that many
frontiersmen well acquainted with the
country have joined the stampede is
additional evidence that the rumors of
the existenceof gold in the mountains
have groundwork in merit.
The effect Of the stampede upon the
Black Hills country is, for the present
at least, veY injurious. 1t is dispos-
sessing the hills of many successful
miners and business men, and as each
man gathers up and takes with him
more or less money, the circulating
medium in that section is said to be
distressingly scarce. The stampede
promises 10 largely increase as the days
go by. Every report that comes from
the mountains brings new enthusiasm
with it. The Bear Paw mountains are
admirably adapted for mining, and there
there than to the Black Hills, and, from
all indications, with better results

Busy Bismarck.

He lives generally at the Radziwil
Palace, which has lately been purchased
by the German Government. and added
to the Foreign Office next door. At the
back is a large garden, called here a
"park," and originally cut off from
the Tier Garten, or Bots de Boulogne
of Berlin. 1t is surrounded by high
walls, and the great Chancellor, when
he walks there, is carefully watched
over by the police, and protected by
his now celebrated dog-a large,
smooth, black boar-hound, which has
succeeded the famous "Sultan," who
was poisoned by the Social Democrats.

ARE ALL THE CHILDREN IN?

The darkness falls the wind is high.
Dense black clouds fill the western sky;
-, The storm will soon begin;
The thunders roar. the hghtnings fash,
hear the great round rain-drops dash
Are all the children in?
They're coming softly to my side:
Inelr forms within my arms l hide
No other arms are sure;
The storm may rage with fury wild.
With trusting faith each little child
With mother feels secure.
But future days are drawing near
They II go from this warm shelter here
Out in the worlds wild din:
The rain will fall, the cold winds blow,
I'll sit alone and long to know
Are all the children in?
Will they have shelter then secure.
Where hearts are waiting strong and sure,
And 1--we Is true when tried2
Or, will they find a broken reed.
When strength of heart they so much need,
10 help them brave the tide?
God knows it all; His will is best.
Ill shield them now and yield the rest
In his most righteous hand;
Sometimes souls He loves are riven
BY tempests wild, and thus are driven
Nearer the better land.
LII He should call us home before
The children go on that blessed shore.
Altar from care and sin;
| know that shall watch and wait
Till He, the keeper of the gate,
Lets all the children in.
