Last week twelve Afghan regiments
revolted at Cabnl, and attacked the
British embassy, which was defended
BY force Of only 70 men, commanded
By Major Cavagnari. OF this number
not one is known to have escaped. The

Whenever a murder occurs in the
South it Is the custom of Republican
papers in the North to make it public
in all its ghastly horrors and then com.
ment upon the insecurity of life in that
section, and thus try to manufacture .
little cheap political capital. This is
very cowardly conduct, but il is the
only way in the world that the Repub.
licans can hope TO carry the next Pres
idential election. They must stir up
sectional strife and get the old war
spirit aroused or else go to the wall.
This movement ON the part of Republi.
cans Is general, as the following circu.
lar shows. It has recently been circu.
lated through all the States which hold

At the next session of Congress there
will be a petition presented to that
body in words and figures, following
to.wit
We, the undersigned, having faith
fully served the government of the
United States in the late war of the re-
bellion, as will be seen by our records
in the War and Navy Departments,
ask to lay before your honorable body
statement of our grievances, and to
petition for relief.
LIST, We would remind your honor
able body that we were paid in de-
preciated currency, worth during the
greater part of our service from forty
to seventy cents ON the dollar in coin.
End. The government has since de-
clared that the payment Of the bond-
holders in the same money that the sol
diers were paid in would be dishonesty
and repudiation.
3rd. We do not believe that the
bondholders have claim either in law
or equity better than the men who Of
fered their lives that the nation might
live.
Therefore we believe that the govern
ment is honestly and Justly indebted to
the soldiers for the difference between
greenbacks and gold at the time of pay
ment, with six per cent. interest COM
pounded semi-annually, and that Con
gress should provide for the payment Of
such sums as may be found due to each
soldier, or sailor or marine, or lawful
heirs, with interest as above, in full le
gal tender greenback, not to be fund
able into bonds of any rate or class.
Therefore, we, the undersigned sol
diers and sailors, do respectfully peti
ton your honorable body to pass Law
covering the above points at once, and
thus give immediate and direct relief Il
one million of the defenders of our gov
ernment in its hour of trial and danger
and indirectly to forty millionsof Amer
lean citizens by reason of the impetus
, given to all industrial pursuits. 70
this act of justice and relief to all th'
people we shall ever pray.
Comment on the above petition woul,
seem unnecessary and inapt, but as som
; politicians are liable to forget that tn
genius and laws of our government, a
well as the sententious and oft-repeate'
declarations of our statesmen, max
, every American citizen equal before th
law, that special privileges shall b
granted to none, but to all, high an
low, rich and poor shall be treated eS
actIy alike But in the face of thes
declarations and contrary to the We
, settled principles of the government {
, this country, lS9 bankers and boHG
holders passed tile Strengthening Act
! whereby bondholders' claims on TIA
= government have been appreciated fift
per cent. Now it appears to rs tina
the soldiers who fought the battles c
the country will not csavenly discoun
: their own value by tacitly admitting b
inaction that the bondhoiiers are thei
, superiors, that money is of iniinitel
more value to the country than patri
otic blood, and by their patiently sui
mitting to this aggravated wrong, a,
| knowledge that the bondholder is a 81

County.
Now that tho campaign for the year
Is about TO open we deem it advisable
to make few important suggestions
for the management Of the same in
your county. Il is, doubtless, true Of
your county as well as other counties of
the State that in order for us to insure
success il Is necessary that some means
should be devised TO divert the atten-
ton Of the people from the so-called
financial issues Of the day. The per-
petuity Of the Union should be made
the s'issue"-the rebellious attitude of
the South and the late utterances of
their Brigadiers in Congress will fur
nish 3 sufficient excuse for bringing
this issue again to the front. If we can
divert the attention Of the people from
this financial craze" and again arouse
the old feeling Of 81, we can carry the
State by an overwhelming majority.
As most potent means of efEecting
this much desired change in public
opinion we suggest the organization Of
the Union League in every township
in your county. This win arouse the
old feeling, and besides s'obligate" every
member to vote our ticket. If you de
sire help in efiecting your organization,
communicate at once with the State or
ganization. It is further suggested
that your county papers and speakers
drop the "finance question" as indicated

The Progress Of Temperance IN England.
In his new lecture, prepared since his
return from England and first delivered
Monday night in New York city, Mr..
John b. Cough says;
"Ailcr a lapse of twenty years | found
things greatly changed in England.
When | went to Oxford at that time Il
total abstaiuer could not be found who
was willing to preside at my meeting,
and one had 10 be brought from London.
This wear there was no such difficulty,
and instead of being met with misses and
iccrs, as on my first visit, was well re-
cciycd. But why this CHANGE said Mr..
Cough dramatically. The people
have been frightened into il. 1t has
been truly said that the Nottingham
often goes into the public house a re-
spectacle man, and comes out a ielon.
The people know this, and they are
afraid. In England there are two pledges
the total abstinence pledge and the
moderation pledge I'm this country
there is also a moderation society. Now
we have no quarrel with the moderate
drinkers, and will not say one word
against them. But there are some men
who can drink moderately, and others
vino can not do so. 1t is like the negro
who needed shoes, and saw an eXpen-
siye pair in q shop that he liked very
much. He made a compromise with
his conscience, and. instead OF stealing
the better shoes, took a cheIpen pair
from shell. | believe prevention is
better than cure.

INVESTIGATE HIM.

Some investigation is proposed to be
made into the management OF the Post
office Department, to ascertain how 1t is
that Assistant Postmaster General
BRADY wants an additional appropria-
ton Of 3 100000. An exchange says
that his plea is that the demands Of
Congressman at the West for extra mail
facilities have been So urgent that he
has been obliged 10 pay out more money
to stage companies and pony carriers
than his appropriation warranted, and,
10 cover his own actions, his report is to
contain list of the Congressman who
have made the applications, and the
stage routes that have, at their request,
been subsidized. Gen. BRADY, seeming
", fails to perceive that this will in no
way clearhim from ccnsurc. He was given
by Congress q certain specified sum OF
money with which TO carry on this
branch Of the public service, and, when
this amount had been properly and Ju-
diciously provided for, the cIamor OF
congressman for some expenditure in
their "dees,riCts," should have no more
weight with him than the requests OF
ordinary citizens. Ii was his duty to
decide how the money should be spent,
not theirs, and his weakness in yield
ing 10 their solicitations plainly shows
that he has not the backbone required
in the man who can acccptably fill this
important office.

ARRIVAL FOR THE MULE.

II is a matter for congratulation that a
compressed air motor, as n sample, has
found its way into our city, and, oil
course, being here, the most appropriate
place to put it is thought to be on the
track OF the Elm Grove railway.
We believe the representative OF this
invention is trying TO convince the
stockholders Of that road that it is the
very thing they have been looking Tor
and Wanting for 10, these many months.
He has been over the line OF their
road, and seems TO find no difficulty
in putting his motor in front OF
car and running from one
end to the other without any change
of track, grade or curve. Which indi-
Gates either that he is a man OF very san
guine temperament, or that his ma
chine possesses advantages OF adapta-
ton of very superior order.
As the first exhibition OF an inven-
ton Of this kind in Wheeling We shall
be disappointed ii it does not confirm
the hope OF the public in seeing more
speedy means OF locomotion established
between the city and suburban points
than is attained through the legs and
lungs of iorlorn-lookiug, shad-belly
mule.
We have not heard any expression OF
opinion from those interested in the
road or others, as to the merits OF the
machine, but as it is represented to be
a success on other roads, it is worthy OF
a fair consideration, which it will doubt
less have, from the managers OF our Elm
Grove line.
