An old physician, retired from prac-

Stronger Government Wanted.

The Geneva Courier, a staunch
republican paper, in discussing the
present aspect of public affairs, en-
ploys the following language:
"7here IS no denying tie statement
that the best thought Qf the country ia
vors a stronger government than the ma
ton has yet enjoyed"
What is the meaning OF a"strong-
er government
"a stronger government" says
our contemporary, "than the nation
has yet enjoyed"
Stronger than Washington's.
Stronger than John Adams.
Stronger than Thos. Jefferson s.
Stronger than James Madison's. 8.
Stronger than James Monroe's.
Stronger than John Q. Adams.
Stronger than Andrew Jackson's
Stronger than AbrahamLincoln's. S.
A stronger government does not
mean merely stronger administrs-
tion of our present form of govern
ment. 1t cannot mean that. There
would be no significance to the
phrase if employed in that sense,
1t would be impossible that the
government could be administered
more strongly than it was admins
tered by the great fist presidents,
who were among its original foun.
ders; more strongly than by that
iron man, Andrew jackson; mors
strongly than by Abraham Lincoln
who abolished slavery.
No; those who speak of a strong
er government mean a different
ent form of government, in which
greater power is reposed in the
executive. They mean a monarchy,
and they can have no other mean
ing.
Born free, they would become
comparative slaves! Such men
have no fit place on American soil.
Degenerate sons of worthier sires,
they have not the manhood to stand
erect, but would voluntarily bow
their necks to the yoke and hail
Grant as king.

The Rope and Shot Gun.

The Brownsville Democrat, in no
ticing a recent outrage in West Ten
nessee, says: "The rope and the
shot gun is the only method for
which we have any respect in deal
ing with that brutal class who com
init offenses against females. Swing
them up to the nearest tree, and let
a coroner's jury try the case after
ward, or lift them off the face OF
the earth with q double e-barreled
shotgun and have q quiet funeral
subsequently. There is another
class who deserve scarcely q less
punishment Society is infested
with them. 1t is the conscienceless
scoundrels who are ever on the
watch to surprise female virtue at
an unguarded moment, whose faith
in it's purity is OF the basest skep
tlcism, and who cast, by insinua-
tion and innueDdo, doubts upon the
fairest names. These men are as
base as the wretch who tried to
outrage the poor young girl in St.
Peters church at Memphis yester-
day. Their designs are only yelled
by cowardice and hypocrisy"
