H The Anthony organs are still throwing up
that Col Martin did not lose his faith in Andy
johnson IS soon as some others did. But they
do not mention the fact that Anthony was ap-
pointed to Office by johnson, long after the Re-
publican party had repudated him, aud that the
appointment was made upon the recommenda-
tion of the renegade, Senator Ross. Ross is now
editing Democratic paper, and urging the re-
nomination of Anthony.

CHEERFCLLY ANswERED.-Tbe last Bulletin
got off this, which, it will be perceived, was in
tended for a sumner:
Treasurer OF Missouri We prefer talking about home
matters first and therefore ask the editor Of the Chief
bond of Charles Scrafford man who fed the country
TO av"i the law in case Of exState Treasurer Oh
Ksnsasi
Yon could not have asked US question which
we could answer more willingly and cheerfully.
In the first place, We "didn't have to" go on his
bond-in other words, it sis" not necessary, for
he had sufficient security, aud to spare, when
we got there. But We had been informed Of his
intended arrival, and that perhaps we might be
needed to help make up his bond. So when We
got there, and found it full, we just added our
name, "for luck" Secondly, the time when q
man needs friends, is when he is poor. and in
trouble. Anybody can be your friend, as long
as You are rich, and able to haul ont your wallet
for his benefit. But the friends who stick when
prosperity and trouble come, are the ones that
count. If We should get into trouble, and our
sunshine friends should go back on US, We should
feel very sad hearted over il. Mr.. ScrafJrd was
our friend, when he had wealth and influence,
and offered to place both at our service, had We
needed them. 1t happened that we did not. but his
offer was just as gratefully received as if We had.
Had we failed in SO simple matter as standing
surety for him, to keep him out of prison until
he could have trial, we would have felt SO
mean that it would even have been relief to
have been kicked by the editor of the Balietin.
Call MS black-mailer; accuse us of taking
money when We earn it; or say anything else
bad about us; but please do not charge Us with
going back on a friend in the hour of need Le-
cause he has not money influence to reward
us. And, finally, whatever the public may
think of Mr.. Scraford, or whatever his trial may
develop, let us remind You that, in signing that
paper, we did not enter into contract to estab-
lish his innocence, or to justify any wrong that
may he proven against him. but simply showed
a belief that he would appear in Court, to have
it legally decided whether he was guilty or in
nocent, and aided in pecuniary guarantee that
he would keep his word.

The PROSPECT EAsT.-The Democracy have
wasted vast afii,,,int Of sngar in sweetsnins
the Grceubmek and National parties, in the h'pe
that thsit organization will work TO the disad.
vantage of the Republicans; but in the East, It
seems to work the other way.
The Nationals Of New York have PLACED
leading Democrat at the head Of their ticket,
and the bulk Of their vote will coms from that
party. Factions and isms always did draw
more heavily from the Democracy of New York
than FROM any other party. The ConkI.ns Re-
pubiicans will probably carry the State.
In Pennsylvania, the stronghold of the Nation
ais is Luzerne County, in the heart "f the min
ing District. The County casts ab,ut 26,OOO
votes, and used to give 1900 Democratic major
ity. The Nationals have taken about 5000 of
these votes, leaving 10000 to the Republicans
and Democrats; but of this Il, 900, the Rspubli-
cans have 1900 more than the Democratic So
that, OH the State ticket, this National move
ment actually sceomplshes gaia of 1000 for
the Republicans over the Democrats in . single
County. In this District, the Nationals will
elect the Congressman; and they have nominat-
ed a man who is q strong Republican ques-
tions outside of that organization.

DEMOCRATIC REEoRM-There are in Ohio 46
Democratic Counties. The Democratic Treas.
urers Of q Of these Counties, or nearly half
have proven defaulters, having stolen sums OF
money ranging from $4,000 to 1855. In two
of the Counties, two different Treasurers were
defaulters, making the number %, or Just hall
the number of Counties. As rule, the larger
the Democratic majority in County, the great
er was the sum of money stolen. In 10 of these
81 Counties, the total amount stolen was S647 ,594
OF this, there has been recovered $57, $50, leav-
ing s59OO35 for the people to whistle for. OF
these % defauters, just five have been punish ed
In one County, the Democratic thief who stole
$4,000 of the peoples money, was sentenced by
a Democratic Judge to one years Imprisonment
in the penitentiaIy, at the same term of Court,
a negro who stole 81 worth of hams from
smOke-house was sentenced by the same Judge
to three years in the penitentiary.
But these are mere trifies Brother, let us
shut our eyes to them, and rise up on our hind
legs, and howl about paying poor newspaper
publisher living price for few dollars worth
of County printing. Do, ra, ME.

BAD MEDICINE The Fredona Citizen, speak
ing of the bitterness of the Commonwealth toward
Gov. Anthony's opponents, recalls an intervie W
with Mr.. Baker, of the Commonwealth, after An
thongs nomination two years ago, in which his
tune was quite different. We had similar ex-
perience. We were delegate to the Convention,
and after the adjournment, We called at the Com
monmealth Office. Baker was blue, and he asked
US what We were going to do about Governor.
We told him that it didn't set well on our stom-
ach, but that it would not do to run personal
differences into politics, and that we should put
up Anthony's name, with the balance of the tick
ct, and say rs little about it as possible. He
said that it was the bitterest pill he had ever
taken, and that he had made up his mind to be
silent in his editorial columns, but to copy every
comment on the nomination that appeared in
the papers, whether good or bad; and he had
an idea that the bad would predominate. The
cOnudrum now arises, what has sweetened that
bitter pill SO that every man in the State who
refuses to clamor for another like it, must be
whipped in by the Commonwealth
