THE CRAWPORDSVlI.LK. WEEKLY Ii I:VIK\\

From th|) LaCrosse (Wis.,) Democrat.

Bear us Tor the Truth—ror Oup Country. God cursdPEgypt with licc. "1 He cursed those who sought to themselves of a brother, with famine

He cursed Job with boils. He cursed America with Republicanism, from the black aud bloody depths of which tearful curse the land is slowly and surely emerging as the sun appears from behind the sombre current-driven cloud which floats over its face and is gone forever.

When the country was prosperous, mischief workers could not be satisfied, ari$l advised flying from endurable e^fcls to those which have brought death, bloodshed, waste, tears, desolation, and taxation beyond endurance.

To release a few blanks ijjpom laboi* millions of white people wero'made slaves to debt—a more inexorable master than ever existed in Ij^c south.

The party lately whofly^ n$w tftank Almighty God but partly in power, preached retrenchment and reform while it filled the offices of the land with a set, of thieves, law breakers and plunderers greater than any country has ever before seen.

Presidential tyranny and usurpation of power, official extravagance, open corruption, the most wanton debauchery, the most gigantic swindles—the greatest disregard of laws—the most reckless and foolish expenditures of the people's money—the most careless pledging of the public credit—the grossest injustice in national legislation—the wickedest slaughter of human life, the greatest imbecility and arrogance in official circles—the blindest president this country ever had has characterized the past four years of our national history.

Had, an* Lciryears sance

that the people of America would have submitted to the insults, oppressions, usurpations and extravagances heaped upon them, and stood like fools to see their earnings mortgaged for generations yet to come, the world would have called him mad and spat in his face. JblBut the shuttle oi time carried the woof of corruption and partisan extravagance through the warp of dishonest ambition till the land became spotted with blood and rui::a, and the earth filled with the victims of meddlesome fanaticism.— Our entire national debt five years since would not pay the interest, for three mouths, on what we now owe!

We went to wt#' to abolish a local aristocracy "which vras a blessing to every poor man in the land and in wiping that national, financial blessing out, have built up a general aristocracy of w^lth, extending over the entire country and a thousand times i#bre dangerous to the peace and prosperity of America than the combined evils of slavery on earth.

The men who helped pay revenue have been stolen poor or otherwise ruined by war.

The young men of Amcrica lie dead on a thousand battle fields, victims of abolitionism.

The plantations which furnished the North with material on which to expend labor arc now in weeds, and the houses which were open to hospitality are now in ruins.

The black population of the South instead of by well directed labor, helping to add to the products of the country have been freed from slavery to dio of want., or made to labor as before, when in the mood.

The element in the land which once raised rice, sugar and cotton for northern men to eat is now supported by the men who cannot support themselves as well as the slaves were supported before the war began.

And to these" evils—the fruits of Republicanism—there is added the greatest of all curses, protection to aristocracy by the exemption of United States bonds from taxation.

Two thirds the entire wealth of the country is to day exempt from taxation, and the Republicanism which was tp h"*" so many blessings i»

nas

singled

out tho ivcaith to be supported by^the poor. £. The holder of government bonds sits in his easy chair, his slippered feet on silver plated fender—a choice cigar in his lips—the finest liquors in his sideboard —the richest dress on his person, his pocket plethoric with interest bearing bonds. Every three months he goes to a bank and draws his interest. His notes are against the poor—not the rich.

The tax-gatherer passes him by with a? smile to return and empty his tithes into the rich man's pocket.

A wicked, unlawful, unconstitutional act of a republican congress, sanctioned by a weak truckling, President, the rich man is protected in idleness—the poor man made his slave. The bondholder does not have one cent of taxes to pay on money so invested. He holds his millions and the day laborer, the widow, the mechanic —the farmer, the consumer pays him high interest.

The bondholder pays no taxes. The bond holder builds no churches. The bond holder builds no school houses. i***

The bond holder builds'no roads/* The bond holder does not directly or indirectly support the government whicC thus favors him.

The bond holder does not McAdamize or improve the streets. Thf bond holder does not help take

care of the poor. The bond bolder does not help pay the officers of the law which protects him.

The bond holder docs not help pay for boarding the thief who tried to steal from him, or the villian who tried to take his life. -,3Jhe bond holder does nothing to build up a country, but like a great sponge, absorbs the earnings of his non-bond holding neighbors all over the country.

Think of these things, brother working men. Think of these things, young men of America. The Republican party by fraud, deceit and wickedness came into power. It toyed your liberties away. It added to your taxes. It gave protection to a worse aristocracy thajj it abolished. It ran the country in debt. It exonerat»d tho rich from taxation. It has left a legacy of debt which will last six hundred and fifty years at the rate now going on.

Republicanism plunged the country in ^svar, and now it calls upon the soldiers who saved the country to pay its debts— to save it from thieves as they did from men in rebellion!

The men who fought do not hold bonds. The men who made up the sinews of war do not hold bonds—but they are called upon now on their return to pay the interest on these bonds—to pay their own bounties in the taxation which was heaped upon them. The holders of bonds nGver smelt powder. Thcyc. never toyed with death and marched to the door of hell to flash their sabres in the face of dissolution and damnation as have the soldiers who are now at home.

Not a bit of it. The bond holders are the 1Q.VJ»J OI»arks who patted the jokinir p«-'ideiit on the back tlieir pockets, the while irtughing at his stories. The bond holders are the swindling contractors—the imbecilic army officers—the relatives of republican congressmen and senators— the postmasters, the thieviug provost mar shals—shoddy furnishers and speculators who have turned by a species of "negro-man-ey" the tears of weeping war wid ows into diamonds—the bleeding hearts of, orphaued children into rubies—the prayers of dying soldiers into pratings of loyalty—tho blood covered sod into crimson cloth for their wives and daughters— the tear wet eyes of those home ones who read the list of killed, into pearls—the graves of brave men into luxurious couches—the shrieks of wounded into music for dancing—the groans of the dying into parlor nftisic—the bloody hospital clothes into opera robes—the weary tramping of foot-worn soldiers into costly horses—the ambulances filled with dead into velvet cushioned carriages—the hard tack into game suppers—the water drank from moody pools into costly wines—the patriotic devotion of honest men into schemes for power and personal aggrandizement.

The bond holders are not the ones who fought—bled—suffered and died or who won the second birth of our country, but they are the loyal thieves—the prating hypocrites—the endorsers of Lincoln's usurpations—the admirers of his Millerisms—the cowards who dared not fight for their country. These are the bond holders of America. These are^the men republicanism protects. These''"are the men republican legislation unconstitutionally make lords and masters over braver men.

Soldiers who went to war had bounties. These bounties were raised by taxes.— Whitcty soldiers fought, congress raised money for them by running the country in debt. The men return from tho war find the ones who hired them to go, exempt from taxation, and the entire debt of the country throwjn upon the shoulders of those who suffered the most.

And this is republican equality. Poor men—laboring men of America. It is for you to say whether you alone shall pay the war debt and support in idleness, those who fattened on your sons, fathers, and who live on your labor. It is for jw" oajt.wliotliop the rich shall help, pay the debt towering over us, or whether you will leave a burden of taction, on your posterity for ever.

Waken, freemen of America. Rise, ye slumbering, wronged and insulted people! Stand up for your rights—for the laws— for justice. Face to the ballot box and tramp the accursed aristocracy of repub"icanismjinto th& earth, there forever to remainr:

COST OF THE J^AR IN DOLLARS.—The Washington Republican says:, We are officially informed to day that one thousand and twenty million of dollars haV# bceif paid to the army alone since the beginning of the war. This is but a small portion of the number of dollars expended, to say nothing of the lives lost, to crush out treason. The prize won —freedom to four million of slaves— more than balances the cost.

Let us cipher. Four millions of negroes could have been bought for $800,000,000 at 8200 per head, a high average price for old men, women, childr. ', &c. The Federal, State, county and town debts in freeing them is full S4,000,000,000.

The "prize" won, then, of four mllions of free negroes stands thus: ....$4,000,000,000 800,000,000 Valuo of tho negroes

Lost by tho war $3,200,000,000

As a mercantile job, the freeing of the negroes has not paid, certainly, in dollar?.

A SCANDALOUS AFFAIB.

Gottschalk In a New Role. [Spocial Correspondent of the Chicago Times.] SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 3. The newspapers of this Stato have been ringing for a number of days with the details ofa scandalous transaction that occurred at the Pacific Female College, near Oakland just across the bay from this city, not long since. The partics to the affair were two young ladies of this city, Miss Peck and Miss Able, and Louis M. Gottschalk, the pianist, and Le Gay, a fashionable hatter on Commercial street. A brief history of the affair may not prove uninteresting to your readers, as showing^somcthing of San Francisco life. The two young ladies, whose names are given above, were the daughters ofj-espectablc parents in this city, and haa been attending the Oakland College for a considerable time. They were there when Gottschalk came to this country. How he made the acquaintance of the girls is not clcarly established but but he did know them to their eternal ruin. One evening Gottschalk and Le Gay left this city in a open boat, crossed the bay to Oakland, a distance of eight miles, and proceeded in a carriage to the College, a short distance from the town. The girls were apprised of their coming and got out of the college by a deception played on the principal. They were dressed only in their night clothes, their other garments being hid on the outside. The tender damsels were assisted into the Banks

carriage, and awav r-~*y u-w «.ept by a Frenchman near the bridge, which spans an arm of the bay that runs up between Oakland and San Auto nio. ..jflerc, in separate apartments, the girls and th'cir lovers passed several hours in a manner known only to themselves, and tlien drove to another hotel, where they remained till near morning, the blissful moments gliding by so happily that they were scarcely noted. At the college in the meantime, a storm was brewing. The matron of the institution had missed the girls and they were dilligently searched for all over the building. No trace of them could be found. Young misses were roused from rosy dreams and questioned as to the whereabouts of their fugitive schoolmates but none of them could tell whither they had flown. Every scholar in the entire building was awakened, in hopes that some tidings of the amorous maidens' might be gleaned: At last the matron concluded that some love affair had taken them away, and so the principal of the college was placed on guard for the purpose of detecting the runaways should they come in. The stars were growing pale, aud the east had been tinged with gold, ere the guilty girls awoke to their true position, and became anxious to return to the college. They got into the carriage and were rolled away toward the institution. As they were trying to steal in, they were confronted by the principal. Alas! their secret was known, and their fair names blighted and blasted ^forever. The trembling girls were taken before the matron and they acknowledged their guilt. They were expelled from the the college, and their parents took them home. The story soon got on the streets of San Franciso, aud finally the newspapers told all about it. The indignation against Gottschalk and his hatter companion was great, and tar and feathers were freely talked of. Le Gay became fearful that his libertine carcass might suffer, and he subscribed to an affidavit, stating that he had no criminal connection with the girl he was with, The girl and himself were guilty of an indiscretion, he said, but nothing more. Of course, people belived as much of the affidavit as they chose.

The terror of Gottschalk was perfectly ridiculous. lie saw a pistol in everything, and an avenger wherever he went. His fears grew upon him at such an alarimng pace that he sneaked to the prison one evening, and requested to be locked up to save hiin from the fury of the populace. The prison keener nnninlied ^ri*w-\itB-request, and took the poor, trembling wrotch inside, and closed the ponderous door. Gottschalk wUs still afraid that he might be caught, and wanted to go in a cell. The prisou was nearly full and the keeper was compelled to put him in with a negro and a Chinaman. There he remained, groaning and walking his cell till morning, disturbing the Chinaman and negro, until they cursed him again and again. He said he did not seduce the girl, but that she seduced him. Not content with destroying her fair name, he must say all the fault was hers, to screcn his own vile and cowardly person. The steamship Colorado was advertised to sail on the following day for Panama. Gottschalk was afraid of an avenging bullet, and he resolved to leave on the Colorado and go to New York. He had advertised to give a "farwell concert"— about the tenth one he had given in this city—and used thirty of Chickering's pianos on the occasion but concert Chickering, everything and everybody were forgotten in the wild, earnest, intense desire to "git up and git" from San Francisco. The advertisement relative to the conccrt had already been published, containing the names of leading citizens, who had requested Gattschalk to give the concert. The pianist did not even bid adieu to tliose kind friends, but procuring a hack, he jumped in, tearing down to the steamer at break neck pace.

Disguised as an "honest miner" from

WHOLE NUMBER 1209

Dutch Flat, the "eminent pianist" walked across the stage-plank on board the steamer. Not even the "leading citizens who had tendered him so many farewell concerts could have detected tho fascinating roue the irresistible gallant, the distinguished Gottschalk, in the dirty looking individual who went limping across the stage plank of the Colorado. As soon as he got on board the ship, he procured a stateroom, wont into it and hired a man to keep guard over him until the ship^ left the harbor. This was the manner in which Gottschalk left us. How different from the manner of his comitig! Everybody here regrets that some one of the relatives of the girl he ruined did not kill the cowardly dog before he got away. I imagine he will not rest very easy, let him go withersoever he will. This girl has a brother, and lam informed that he will hunt this strolling, libertine minstrel.to the death sooner or later.

nappy -Family.

Disinterested people, who view the antics of the radicals, may well exclaim, with cutting irony, "How they lovo one another!" The bottom having wholly fallen out from their old platform, they arc no longer attached by a common bond of sympathy, but the malignant spirit of vituperation remains, and consequently they are as likely to fix their fangs upon friends as foes. Witness the evidence. Wendell Phillips, in his recent address at Boston, denounced Gen.

as A

VM -mountebank," *a'nd

tnen, turning upon the President of the United States, charged that the Chief Magistrate of the nation -was a proper subject for impeachment, as follows: "Now my charge against the President, is that he has debauched the moral sense of the loyal States on this question. My charge against the President of the United States is, that he has silenced tho Republican party on this question, and if it were possible, consistently with the nature cf our Government, now is the time contemplated by the fathers, when such a magistrate should bo impeached by the House of Representatives."

Nor did the pastor of Plymouth Church escape these venomous shafts. Mr. Phillips said: "Tho slave power, like the serpent in -J: tho old legend of Laocoen, has eneiroled -t and crushed the life out of tho Republi- 4 can party, and out of Plymouth Church pulpit. ([Laughter and applause] Yes, I rcspect the impulses of that gallant apostle«bf liberty, Henry Ward Beeoher. But that speech of his is one of the most dismal signs of the times."

The Independent newspaper, in" like manner, turns upon its old associate editor thus: "Mr. Beechcr's lauguage now sounds more like the Democratic resolutions of New Jersey than the good old ring of •Plymouth Church bell."

In happy accord is the New York An-ti-Slavery Standard of Oct. 28, which says: "We regard his sermon last Sunday as one of the most effective blows ever dealt at the anti-slaveiy causo."

The negro lecturer, Frederick Douglass, thinks President Johnson is worso than Booth or Jefferson Davis. He said, in a lecture delivered a few days ago in Boston: "We abhor very properly Jefferson Davis and Booth, .but a deeper and more dreadful execration will settle upon that man's name if he shall sacrifice us as his policy now evidently aims to do. Why, if I were a white man, after this war, I should blush to my bones to look a black man in tho face and deny him the right of suffrage."

Among the Radical editors whole col" umns arc wasted in mutual crimination, For instance: Thurlow Weed, who controls the columns of the New Fork Times, refers to bis cotemporary as follows "The mistake of Kohnstamm (who is now at Sing Sing) was in not connecting with the Evening Post before commencing his ctepredations upon the Government." |lg

And the Post editor has no better ^pinion of "T. W." All this is disgraceful and were there not more stability in our democratic form of Government than it has ever had credit for, these fellows would drive the country into anarchy before another Presidential election.—Hew York Journal of Commerce. ..

FRUITS OF FANATICISM.—A letter from Nantucket, Mass., says the grass grows in the middle of the streets that once echoed to the busy feet of trade. Vast' edifices—sperm candle manufactories, oil cellers, ship chrndlers' stores—are abanded to the mercy of the elements. Whole blocks and rows of buildings are deserted. !«A AkW 'tBf

SIR MORTON PKTO'S dinner atDelmonico's New York, cost 825,000. There were 250 guests present and the entertainment cost about $100 each person. At least twenty-four kinds of wine were drank, and the price of some of the brands, the Imperial Tokay for instance, was $50 per bottle.
