THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
REPUBLICAN TRIBUTE To THE GRAND OLD
ORGANIZATION.
From Forney's Progress .

From Forney's Progress.
We are of those who will never forget
the Democratic party-that pure and noble
old organization which was mainly instru-
mental IN charging the area of the country
and adding to the States of the Union
which acquired Florida, Louisiana, Texas
and California, and which, in two wars with
foreign foe, carried our flag to victory and
established our martial ability among the
nations of the world. What the Anglo
Saxon has been and is to
civilization the old Democratic party
has been and is to the politics of the Amer
lean people. Disguise it as some men may,
it is to Democrats that all parties owe more
or less of their leadership and champions,
and there has never been a successful party
in this country that did not contain in its
Democratic characteristics, who received
their first training for political service in
the ranks of the Democratic party; and
while that party maintained its purity no
party opposing il ever secured State or Ma
tional power which lasted more than
one term. The native American
party tried this opposition and
failed. The Wing party made a similar
effort, and met with like disaster, and only
when the Democracy became corrupted by
the arrogant grasping of the slave power,
which finally made it refuge for traitors,
was it defeated by the Republican party,
which would never have succeeded had it
not been for the honest Democrats assisting
it. The backbone and large proportion
of the brains of the Republican organization
comO out Of the dismembered Democratic
party. Without the disintegration of the
Democratic party the Republican organ
izatlon of 1860 could not have elected Abra-
ham Lincoln President, ana had the vaior
and virtue of the Democratic party stood
aloof from their Republican neighbors and
friends Of the North, as did the large pro-
portion of what was left of the Wing party,
which actually joined the dough-facc Dem
ocracy, the Republican party would never
have been able to crush the shareholders
rebellion.

nHE UNDERWOOD. HoLBRooK VENDETTA IN
n KENTUCKY.
A dispatch from Upper Tygart, Center
. ,unty, Kentucky, says: The war
: the Upper Tygart country con-
|, lucs to grow worse and worse. With all
: reports sent out from this part of the
untry as to how desperate the men are
no are engaged on both sides Of this war,
ne have been ovcrdrawn. Fhc outside
rid see and know of the condition of af-
lrs here through the newspaper reports,
uch have but partially pictured tho true
edition of the people living in the noun
tan recesses of this isolated country.
Cor more than q generation there has
ben war between the Underwoods and
tllir ncighbors, which, from time to time,
would result in shooting scrape, and oc-
casionally in the death of one or more of
the participants. Such things have served
to edlcate the people here to look upon
such state of affairs with but little concern.
Old George Underwood who was reported
dead, IS still alive. He has proved a most
remarkable man as to his constitution. He
had been shot in the leg, thigh and body;
and eye shot out wounded in the head and
neck; and withal had so far recovered as
to limp about, with his rifle ever ready
and two navy revolvers belted around his
waist, ever on the alert for his sworn enc
mics. With all of his vigilance he was
\again shot from ambush by the Holbrook
party whin near his house. He was going
towards the house when fired upon from the
rush, the ball taxing effect in the right
boulder and arm, inficting dangerous
ad painful. wound. After partially recov-
Icing from the shock he succeeded in get
ting to the house, commonly known as
Tort Underwood. The women folks went
fr PHYSICIAN to dress his wound, but none
muldgo. The physicians of this part of
TIN cdntry have been notified by the Hol-
bro0arty not to render service to the IN
derwols, or they would be considered
friendto them, and will be served in the
same nnner. Neither physicians nor citi-
zens Nuld go to his aid, so great is their
fear of being drawn into the
existiE troubles. The old mans
wounc were dressed as best his
wome folks could with naught but water
and b,dages of cloth. None dared visit
the olman until his son Jessie, who was
in the GODS as usual, heard of his father
condlth, when he fastened to his aid, on.
ly to reive mortal wound through the
lung ju,as hewas entering his fathers
door. e was fired upon from the noun
tain-sid about one hundred yards distant.
The bal passed entirely through his body.
Messeng,s were again sent out for physi-
clans anaid. The death-warnlng from the
HolbrooEamily prevented any one from
going to lem. Your readers can imagine
the feelns of the women and children shut
up in the ouse with their wounded, and eX-
pecting ewy moment to have their house
burned, OTTO have their door forced open
and their tther and brother murdered be-
for theireys. What will the Kentucky au.
thonties dto suppress these outlaws and

THE Quincy Herald has proper concep-
ton OF Beecher's advocacy of the election of
-Conklings man, Cornell. 1t says that it is
quite proper that Mr.. Beecher, the great
scandal preacher, should come to the aid OF
the Conkling- Cornell ticket, in New York, in
opposition to man Of SO spotless an official
record as Governor Robinson. If the great
Plymouth Captain were to assume any other
position in New York politics at this time
he would find himself occupying position
wholly inconsistent with his known charac-
teristics. 1t seems quite fitting that the
guilty and besmirched hero of the most
disgraceful social scandal in the history of
the country should pollute the holy Office of
minister of God and enlist himself and
his church in behalf of Mr.. Conkling who
has about his name social stencil almost
equally as strong as that which makes the
name Of Beecher SO obnoxious to decent
people, who have regard for the sanctlty
of the domestic relations. Mr.. Conkling
who so recently was guilty Of such indecent
Liberties in the family of brother senator,
that he was driven from the premises at the
muzzlc of shotgun, probably found in
Mr.. Bcecher q ready supporter of the ma.
chine politician and moralists of the Conk.

THE Southern wing of the Democratic
party seems to be fated to the commission
of some act or series Of acts, just before the
occurrence of important elections in the
North, that renders a Demo-
cratic victory impossible of ac-
complishment. The Yazoo affair, with
the Southern Interpretation of State Rights,
brazenly published and defended from the
stump and through the columns of Southern
newspapers, cost the Democrats the States
Of California and Ohio, and worked out a
Republican victory in Maine. That defeat
will not follow in New York, is not to be
hoped for.

SOME Of our Democratic contemporaries
indulge the belief that Republican leaders
distrusted the continued Republicanisn of
Iowa. The result shows that they had no
cause for such distrust. The majority
against the Democratic ticket is about 75,-
600; against the Greenbackers about 100000
and over both, about $4,000. Iowa is COM

DIPTHERIA CURED BY SULPHUR

waterman,
The celebrated DR.. Field cured his pa.
tients by sulphur. He put teaspoonful of
flour of birthstone into wineglassful of
water, and stirred it with his finger instead
of spoon. When the sulphur was we'll
mixed he gave it as a gargle, and in ten
minutes the patient is out of danger. In.
stead of splitting out the gargle, he recon.
mended the swallowing of it. In extreme
cases, when the fungus was too nearly clos
ing to allow the gargling, he blew the sui
phur through quill into the throat, and af.
ter the fungus had shrunk he gave the gar
gle. If the patient cannot garglc, take a
live coal, put it in shovel and sprinkle a
spoonful or two of -four of birthstone upon
it; let the patient nhale the fumes, and the
fungus will die. Birthstone kills every spe.
cies Of fungus in man, beast, or plant, in q
few minutes.

POPULATION Or NEW YORK.
New York Times,

II is commonly said that New York is, il
respect of population, substantially foreign
CITY; that more than 100000 Of its denizeni
is usually given in round numbers at 400,
600; of Germans at 100000; of French al
| $4,000; of Italians, Spaniards and Cubans
at $4,000. This is an evaporation, and d
great one. The native population exceeds
the foreign by about 10000. According
to the census Of 1870. there were 2O1 ,9D0
Irish, 24,442 English, 6,562 Scotch, 151,.l6
Germans, S265 French, 2,794 Italian,
2,737 Austrians, 1898 Poles, 2,17S SyiA
1897 Hollanders, 1851 Russians. This
very large proportion Of foreigners, ce
tainly, but nothing like the proportid
generally supposed. There were then ID
070 colored persons, who are said to hay
largely increased SINCE The women a
reported to have increased, also, there b
ing, nine years ago, an excess over men
more than $4,000. The Chinese are nut,

census Of 1870 gives but 12, and now the
are, it is said, over 700, some putting
number as high as 1000. The census
1880 will show many changes, and prob
bly, a notable increase in population, espe
ally as two wards have been added sic
1870. 1t is thought that the native POI
lation has gained considerably on the 4.

Fire and Loss of Life.

The dwelling house of VIM. L. Bar
rows of Irasburgh, was burned on the
night of the 9Th, and Miles Convey was
buried by the burning ruins and burned
to death. Mr.. Barrows returned from a
lodge meeting, and built up a brisk
fire, which caused the chimney to burn
out. The fire was watched until all
danger was thought to be over, and Mr..
BaIrows retired. About II o'clock fire
broke out in the chambers, and the
family commenced at once to remove
the goods and furniture. Mr.. Covey
was Mr.. Barrow's hired man, and with
Others was engaged in clearing the
house. While in one of the rooms the
roof and upper timber fell, burying him
in the ruins. 1t is probable that he was
killed by the falling timbers. The body
could not be rescued, and only a small
amount of bones and ashes were picked
up in the morning. Mr.. Convey was an
industrious man, and leaves Il wife,
now in the West, and four children in
this town. His age was 25 years. A
sad fatality has attended his family {:
his father was drowned, one brother
was killed by tree, another had his
head crushed on the cars, and Miles
persisted in the flames. Mr.. Burrows

The ingenuity of some people in try
ing to make dishonest living is really
surprising. Taking out the ink from
defaced postage stamps and selling
them is an old dodge. The latest i'm
provement is to sell genuine good
stamps to a man, get him to have you
arrested for selling washed ones, have
trial, and lot of general fuss and feath
ers, and then find out it is all a mistake
and go off rejoicing. The unsophisti
Gated inquirer might ask where the fun
comes in in all this. The fact is, wit
nesses are paid 50 day for their sup
posed loss of time in attending crimi-
nal trials, and some enterprising youths
have been luxuriating to that extent on
the taxpayers money by getting up
these bogus petty larceny cases in order
to receive the witness fees among the
somewhat numerous gang.

Elegant as was the first annual din

evening, and profoundly wise and enter
tanning as were the sayings and doings
on that memorable occasion, there was,
nevertheless, to our own mind, seri-
Gus drawback, contained in line add
ed to the otherwise exceptionally ele-
CANT bill of fare. ''Ihe aUaiters are
furnished ,vith WINE LISTS" Who was
responsible tor this untimely hint we do
not know but it seemed to us exceed
ingly unfortunate, in laying the corner
stone of an association designed to ele-
vate and ennoble the legal profession
of the state, that a custom, which is
well known to have been its greatest
impeachment and curse in the last half
century should not have been studiOus
ly discarded. Happily, so far as known,
in not single instance was the sugges-
ton acted upon.
