Why Col. Ingerson is Not Democrat.

am opposed to the democratic par
ty, and want to tell why: Every ordi-
nance of secession ever drawn was
drawn by democrat. Every man that
tried to tear the old flag from the heav-
ems that it enriched was a democrat.
Every man that shot Union soldiers was
democrat. Every man that starved
Union soldiers, refusing them crust in
the extremity of death, was a democrat.
The man that assassinated Abraham
Lincoln was democrat. Every man
that sympathized with the assassin
every man that was glad that the no.
blest president ever elected was assas-
sinated-was a democrat. Every man
that wanted the privilege of whipping
another man to make him work for
nothing and pay him with lashes on his
naked back was a democrat. Every
man that sold babes from the
breasts of shrieking, shuddering moth
ers was democrat. Every that
impaired the credit of the United States
was democrat. Every man that swore
that he would never pay the bonds,
every man that swore he would never
redeem the greenbacks, every maligner
of his country's credit, calumniator of
his country's honor, was a democrat
Every man that resisted the draft, ev-
cry mau that hid in the bushes and shot
at Union men simply because they
were endeavoring to enforce the laws of
their country was a democrat. Every
man that cursed Lincoln because he is
sued the emancipation proclamation,
was democrat. Every man who be-
lieved state could go out of the Union
at its pleasure, and every man who be-
lieved the grand fabric of the American
government could be made to crumble
instantly into dust at the touch of trea-
sou was democrat. Every man that
helped to burn orphan asylums in the
city of New York was democrat. Ev-
cry man that tried to fire New York
although he knew thousands would per-
ish, and that the great serpents of flame
leaping from building to bnilding would
clutch children i'll their mothers arms
every wretch that did it was demo-
crat. Recollect it! Every man that
tried to spread hesmall pox and yellow
fever in the north was democrat. Sol
diers, every scar that you have OH your
heroic bodies was given to you by a
democrat. l am republican.

Supporting the Guns.
HOW A FIELD BATTERY COMES INTO AC
TION.

HOW FIELD BATTERY COMES INTO AC-
TION.
Did you ever see battery take posi-
tion ?
1t hasn't the thrill of cavalry charge,
nor the grimness of a line of bayonets
moving slowly and determinedly on,
but there is a peculiar excitement about
it that makes old veterans rise in their
saddles and cheer.
We have been fighting at the edge of
the woods. Every cartridge box has
been emptied once and more, and a
fourth of the brigade has melted away
in dead and wounded and missing.
Not a cheer is heard in the whole brig
ade. We know that we are being driv-
en- foot by foot, and that when we
break back once more the line will 90
to pieces and the enemy will pour
Through the gap.
Here comes help!
Down the crowned highway gallops
a battery, withdrawn from some other
position to save ours. The field fence
is scattered while you could count 80,
and the guns rush for the hill behind
us. Six horses to piece-three riders
to each gun. Over dry bitches where
farmer would not drive a wagon,
through clumps of bushes, over logs a
foot thick every horse on the gallop,
every rider lashing his team and yell
ing-the sight behind US makes US for
get the foe in front. The guns jump
two feet high as the heavy wheels
trike rock or log, but not a horse

A Crime of Degrees.

For a long while rumors have been
current of fraudulent issue of diplomas
and comforting of degrees by an Gamer
lean University of Pennsylvania" in Phil
adelphia and now the whole fraud is
brought to the light of day by the Pub
lie Record, of Philadelphia. The meth
cd and plan of operations is something
too extensive and complicated to be
treated at length in our columns, but
may be briefly epitomized as follows:
The college was, it appears, incorpor-
ated in 1857. Its charter was secured,
and skeleton Faculty organized by
set of scamps, of whom a certain John
Buchanan seems to have been the prime
mover. And then his operations COM
menced. Fraudulent diplomas of grad
uation in any department, classical or
scientific, together with certificates of
honorary degrees, were sold just as any
article of merchandise is sold. A regular
scale of prices was adopted for gradu-
alton, and for the degrees of B. A., NJ.
A., NJ. D., D. d. S., Ph. D., d. D., L.
L. D., etc. The list of graduates in
cludes over 1900 names, and embraces
the % years from '58 to 80. The
amount of fraud which Buchanan has
perpetrated is almost incalculable. In
the year 1880, though only 80 students
were in attendance, his list of gradu-
ates for that year figures up los, and
this large figure does not include those
diplomas which were antedated-as
many more in number. The returns
from one state, New Jersey, establish the
fact that for every one in his lists there
are seven more that have been aDtedat-
ed, and not in his lists. If the same
ratio holds good in every other state,
then he has sold over IL 900 diplomas.
The number of diplomas credited by
him to Europe and Germany is less than
twenty. That figure is ridiculously
small, in view of the complaints lodged
at Washington by our Ministers and
Consuls abroad. 1t however positively
establishes one good point, namely that
the Governments of Europe can punish
all but these 20 for practicing medicine
under diplomas fraudulently obtained.
Another point by which they can guide
themselves is this: All diplomas of
Doctor of Dental Surgery are bogus.
Buchanan's College has not, and never
had the power to confer sucn degree (;
nor can it confer the degree of Gradu-
ate in Pharmacy.
The devices resorted to for issuing
these fraudulent diplomas are innumer-
able. Very many are antedated some
before the college had an existence, and
some are issued over the signatures of a
Faculty which at the time had no exis.
tence. But while there are hundreds
and thousands of these fraudulent NJ
AS, Phi. DIS, ETC., claimed by those who
have purchased them, the worst fea,
ture Of the affair is that there are thou
! sands of pseudo physicians practicins

medicine and writing M. d. after their
names who never graduated, if, indeed,
they ever entered Medical College or
saw any corpse save what they them
selves have made. These bogus "doc-
tors" are practicing in every state in
the Union, in defiance of law and to
the peril of human life. These men,
whoever they are and wherever they
are, should be ferreted out and expos
ed. And although the university could
and did confer some degrees legally,
including that of NJ. D., what can be
the value of such a certificate from an
institution which sold diplomas and de-
grees at wholesale? All persons prac-
ticing medicine in New York under the
authority of diplomas fraudulently OBJ
talned are liable to Imprisonment. This
swindle is one of the most barefaced
that has been attempted for years. 1t
has grown with the years till it has as
sumed mOnstrous proportions; we
heartily rejoice that it has been un-
earthed. If anyone has legal diplO-
ma from this American University of
Pennsylvania, he will do we'll to turn it
to- the wall, while any charlatan assum-
ing to practice medicine under the guise
Vi q VI
should have visited upon him the Sc
verest penalties of the law.
1t is, let US say in conclusion, a mar
vel, as it affords an illustration of the
general indifference to matters of pub
lie veal, that this fellow Buchanan and
his conspirators should have found it
possible to ply this nefarious business
so long and so openly. 1t does not
speak well for the efficiency of our laws
that practice should have been open
ly carried on for long series of years
which in Germany, France or England
would have been suppressed on the in
slant. But its progress is now arrest
ed the next thing should be the repeal
Of the charter of this college and the
punishment of all the parties to the
fraud. And the unearthing of the fraud
ulent M. DIS is by no means to be lost
sight of.-ChriStidn at Work.

A Windfan from the War Time.

A Washington special to the Travel
ler says The cashier of one of the
Oldest of the Washington banks, while
searching a few days ago for some mis-
laid papers, found in one of the dusty
pigeon holes of the bank vault sealed
envelope which was marked with the
name of former member of Congress
from one of the New England states.
This gentleman, who was noted during
the war for his unselfish patriotism and
untiring devotion to the welfare of our
soldiers, died in this city during the
spring of 1868. His son, who is now
high in rank in the army, was sent for
when the above discovery was made,
and the seal was broken, whereupon
there were disclosed several U. S. 40
coupon bonds for $1,000 each. These
bonds bore evidence of having heen is
sued in 1864, and as the coupons were
intact, it was evident that the patriotic
owner had refrained from claiming any
portion of the interest as it matured.
However, the son, now that the finan-
ces are upon frmer footing, had no
such scruples, and vending his way
across the street to the Treasury, calm
ly asked the interest clerk to cut off
and cash few coupons. The interest,
even without cOmpounding, nearly
equalled the principal, and the surpris-
ed aud pleased owner is now probably
looking for a suitable investment for
his windfall.

A Boy on His Travels.

A small boy about five years old,
living in the east part of Swanton, re-
Gently went to ride with a neighbor a
short distance from home. He was left
a few minutes alone in the wagon, and
after the man returned he found the
boy. gone. He searched the vicinity
faithfully and finally found his tracks
going opposite from his home. Search
was at once commenced and large
number of people rallied. The parents
were about frantic and many thought
the boy stolen. Finally however they
got traces of him travelling alone, and
about midnight he was overtaken at the
remote end of Hog Island, about fifteen
miles from home and still going. The
theory is that while alone in the wagon
he was homesick and started as he sup
posed for home, but went wrong.

old dlctatOrial ways and plantation
manners. 1t was last winter that a
South Carolina member urged the abo-
litiOn of the West Point Military Acade-
my, the only merit in which, that he
could see, was that it had educated so
many officers for the late Confederate
Army. The same member has ex-
pressed the opinion on the floor of Con :
gress that the Government is admins
tered dishonesty by the party to whose
clemency he owes his place, and that it
ought to be placed in the hands of e1-
COnfederates.
A short time since there was another
official utterance of one of the Confed-
crate Brigadiers on the floor of the
House to the effect that loyalty to the
Confederacy was most honorable SEN
tlment, and, upon the whole, rather
more praiseworthy than loyalty to the
Union. A Northern Representative has
made advances toward these gentlemen
by offering the proposition that the
wounded and disabled Confederate
soldiers are equally entitled to pensions
with those who fought for the Union.
All this shows that we are making very
rapid progress. Progress not toward
conciiiatiOn-we passed that point some
time agO-but toward surrender. The
gentlemen engaged in making our laws
are very busily writing over the record
of the bloody differences of the four
years war, "God knows which was
right" Northern hands are doing it.,
and obviously for the most mean and
selfish purposes. Meantime it may be
noticed that the reconciled statesmen
to whom such pleasing things are said,
and for whose support such generous
bids are offered, do not concede so much
as this. They still assert that they
were right, and do not ever refer the
question to the Almighty. They will
wait perhaps until we have passed the
point of admitting that there is doubt
about our own position, when they will
calmly assume the righteousness of their
own side of the question, and proceed
to correct history accordingly. But if
we do not greatly mistake the public
sentiment of the country it will present
ly be found that the people do really
have positive convictions upon some
questions, and that one thing they are
uery decided about is that the late rebel
lion aCas a CRIME that cannot be justified.
