paper, a hack for office-holders and plunderers,'' which, fortunately or unfortunately for the people, is the case with any party that grows over-strong and continues too long in office.

For some years past the Republican party has been, in the language of one of its prominent literary members, "the party of orgnnized rascality," and every pirate bearing down upon the National Treasury flew the flag of R«publicaoism. It was called "loyalty," but it meant plunder. The people had to be hoodwinked with Rome pet senti-

WHAT TIME nAS TOLD.

«-*-The Hudson City Gazette revives a ^debate that occurred in the Kcnate in I860, os the Republican party was about to enter upon the administration of the Government. To the boast of .Seward that the Republican party |"wbuld now take possession- of the citadel,1' Senator Hammond said

The Democratic party surrender the country without a stain upon her honor, boundless in her prosperity, incalculable in her strength. We have kept the Government conservative to the great purpose of government. We have placed her and kept her on the Constitution and that, sir, 1ms been rli* cause of your pence and prosperity. Time will show what you will make of her, but. no iine can diminish onr glory or your /responsibility."

The Democratic party is moving on ^steadily and surely, like an irresistible ^wrmy, to retake possession of ^ie cita--*del. The Constitutional monuments erected by tho fathers of the Republic it will And in many cases defaced, and may bo shattered beyond repair, but it will be its care to preserve what is left aof Constitutional liberty. Time has :showu what the Radicals have made of the Republic. The glory of the Demjocratic party has not been diminished, but the responsibility of the Republican party has shown how little calculated arc its managers to administer a

Government restrained by Constitutional limitations.

.. IMPENDING IMPEACHMENT. Tho New York Evening Post, a leading Republican paper, crics aloud to President Grant to rotrace his steps before it is too late. It declares lie is luputsuiog a fatal path. We qubtc "Thorn is time for him to turn about. And surely, in the light of the extraordinary and unconstitutional. proceedings which Washington dispatches disclose, it is time for him to turn. The acts of war which he has authorized are such that, should it seem fit to the House of Representatives to

impeach

liitii at the bar of the Senate for violation of tho Constitution ho swore to respect, I10 would find it difficult to make a defense.''

NO POLICY OP Ills OWN. IN his inaugural address, General Grant laid down this rule as his guide during his administration: "1 shall, on all subjects, have a policy of uiy own, but none to enforce against the will of tho people." -5 If •. ».

Iu commenting on this declaration, the Toledo Blade, a Radical print, has tho following "No Republican convention, not even of a singlo county in the United States, hns ever asked for San Domingo. Tho Republican press has given no voice in its favor. No class of our citizons—merchants, farmers or manufacturers—has asked for it. Nineteen twentieths of the Republican party are opposed to this and all other pet schcmcs of wanton waste of the public treasure for the aggrandizement of adventurers, politicians and speculators." ,...

Yet notwithstanding these facts, and the well-known opposition of all parties to these schemes, and in spite of the promiso that ho would have no policy to enforco against tho will of the peo pie, PrcsidentGrant makes the support of this annexation project a test of party fidelity. A9 a cotemporary very pointedly aske, Is Grant to turn the Republican party out of doors, or will tho party turn him out?"' Tho odds at present seem against him but as he has tho official patronage Bt his disposal, the cohesive power of the public plunder may enable him to enforce his policy against the will of the people. However, should he make the attempt and fail—thrice woe Ho may find Charles Sumner too heavy for him. It wvuld be a good joke, tlut would make Andrew Johnson and his friends laugh, if Grant should provoke the Representatives to impeach him and the Senate to oust him, and then the people come to the polls and oust the whole burstcd Radical party, voto in a Democratic Administration, and purify the nation.

Kl-KLVI-KLANS.

Tho following comments upon the Ko-Klux Epidemic ore from the New York Herald, a paper which has given hearty support thus far to the administration of President Grant:

Admitting that there are disorders in the South, and particularly in South Carolina, It is worthy of notice, howeTcr, that the reported terrible Ku-Klux outrages are always made to assume a formidable character at tbe time of election in the North, and when Radical politicians are pressed for issue* before the people. Conservative men who have ju*t coma through the Southern States were astonished to hear, when they, arrived at the North, the fearful stories of Ku-Klux enormities. We are inolioed to think there ia much more political smoke (ban real fire in these reports."

who served in the late Union Army, it is stated that no such law was enactcd. A bill to that effect was passed by the House, but failed in the Senate. A

He remarks, with truth, that the future is one of great empires, and that small powers will have hard work to live at all. What a terrible commentary tho above statements are on the wretched condition»of king-ridden Europe Those vast armies, kept up for no other possible purpose but to sustain monarchies and aristocracies over tho people, are eating the life out of their respective nations. The toiling masses, bending under the weight of their pampered masters and hireling armies, have neither leisure nor means to feed or educate their children, or to keep up with the advance of a progressive age, but toil on between the periodical wars which, to indulge the pride or caprice of some tyrant, devastate whole nations, kill off the flower of their manhood, and leave them a shattered army and a bankrupt government to be restored by the toil of other generations. It is not-in the nature of things that such conditions can long continue to exist. If France succeeds in maintaining a republic, there can bo no doubt the whole face of Europe will soon change, and people rid themselves of those twin tyrants—an aristocracy of pampered vampires and the large standing armies it necessitates.

What a Rascal Will Do.

The Topeka Record gives the following puff to what the editor calls the meanest rascal known in Kansas, or anywhere else "Some facts came to our knowledge lately which go far to settle the mooted question as to the total depravity of man. It seems tho,t last fall an old man living in Illinois was persuaded by his son—a big, doublefisted, athletic, raw-boned, slab-sided specimen of depraved humanity—to convey to him, the son, all his little property, and the son w&9, in considerat ion, to take care of the old man and his wife the few remaining years they could reasonably expect to live. The property was sold, the son put the proceeds in his pocket, and the whole family, with tho exception of the old lady, who stopped on the way to visit some relatives, came to Topeka. A short time since, however, she rejoined the fatuity here. Yesterday the young man very coolly informed bis father and mother that the time was up that the old man owed him a dollar a day milcag« for the trip from Illinois to Kansas, which he reckoned would make the account about square and proceeded to move into the country to a farm which he had rented, and left the old people here, to beg or starve as they may choose. It seems to us, in contemplating this case, that the cloud of obloquy which has rested so long on the name of the man who 6tole acorns from a blind hog, should now be lifted. Compared to this heartless son, the acorn stealer was a model of generosity."

SENATOR CARL SHCRZ is not disposed to bo frightened over the displeasure of the President. His paper, the St.Louis Post, in a recent editorial, thus handles '•'Dictator Grant," as it calls him, whom it charges with being "too stupid for his position boundlessly grasping for both presents and power having inaugurated a course of party management which leads thonghtful men to ask whether we are still in possession of republican institutions. Breakers ahead 1 Either the fast-recurring inroads on individual and public liberty must stop, or the Republican party must oeate to be."

COMPARATIVE POWER OF ENGLAND. In the British Parliament, the Marquis of Salisbury, a member of the House of Lords, protested against the undefended and weak condition of tho English nation. lie stated the question thus "Now, the Army of Russia numbers a force of 1,053,000 men, that of Germany 1.466,000, and that of Austria 1,161.000 men. What have we got to meet these

He theu stated it, as follows "Putting our navy aside, we have, then, in these islands, lUO.OOO regular troops, 200,000 militia and other irregular troops, and 150,000 volunteers. The militia and volunteers can not, however, leave our shores, and therefore our whole strength for the fulfillment of our guaranties is only the 100,000 regular troops. Now, it is simply absurd to suppose that we can sustain our guaranties with such a force as we can spare from these 100,000 men. It might be said that it. could not be expected that we should compete with the great military monarchies of Europe. But.in this case we should."

"THE message to Congress, by our haughty and ambitious President, in which he virtualy recommends them to establish the rule of the bayonet over the Southern States, only consists of nineteen lines. There is no attempt to argue the matter, to show the reason of that which he suggests. It suffices, he thinks, that he wishes it to be done. This is in accordance with his idea of kingly prerogatives. Small and minor matters have heretofore been presented to Congress by the President at considerable length but Grant writes just uineteen lines about that which would create a military dictatorship over half the Union. '-VX

"LEGISLATION" IN THE S0UTII. A New Orleans correspondent of the Springfield Republican has sufficient faith in the people of Massachusetts to believe that if the body called a Legislature, recently adjourned, had done to the people of Massachusetts what a Legislature,' did to tbe people of Louisiana, thay would never have left Boston alive." He says

"In 1805, the debt of Louisiana was about $5,000,000 it is now, including the so-called accruing debt, comprising endorsements on worthless railroad, ship canal, and other bonds, over $40,000,000. This Legislature was composed of ignorant blacks, carpetbaggers from the North, and in small majority the meanest Southern white trash—men without a last place of residence,' soaked with whisky, living with negro women, and smelling like wet dogs as they elbowed about the lobby openly selling their voltes. Under these circumstances, is it not unreasonable to expect the planters to talk with enthusiasm of the old flag, or to consider the Government which upholds such a Legislature the best the world ever saw?

THE Manchester, New Hampshire, Union, in the course of an article upon the recent elections in that State, has the following "The Democrats are coming into power— (Tnd are coming to stay. There is not the least danger that they will be displaced until they deserve to be. A great many good men voted with 11s this year who have not done so before, at least not recently and we have only to do right to attach them permanently to our organization, and attract others, who care less for party than peace and prosperity. We have not the least apprehension in regard to the immediate future. Mr. Weston is an honest and prudent man he will have a Council of the same sort, and we are sure that the Legislature will demonstrate the traditional aptitude of Democrats.to govern wisely." j,

"The Republican party is now passing under a shadow the Democratic is advancing its banners into the sun. Defeated on the Green Mountains, the Administration is pushed a step downward into the Valley of Humiliation."

So says Theodore Tilton, of the Golden Age, out of the depths of his great grief, over the deep damnation of Sumner's taking off, by Morton, Cameron, Grant & Co. And as misfortunes never come singly and alone,it is feared that the shadow will grow darker and heavier next Monday, when Connecti

cut shall furnish the thunder. May the shadow never grow less.

TIIB election of three Democrats from New Hampshire, and the accession to the Democratic party of Representative Blair of Missouri, making four in all, now gives a force of a full hundred working Democrats in the House of Representatives. And tbe addition of another from Arkansas swells the number to one hundred and one. The nest Congress and the nest administration will be of the same sort—but a little more so!

A Ku-Klux Outrage.

The Ku Klus Klans are evidently not all dead yet. They still meet and hold their diabolical councils in the gloomy depths of the Great Dismal Cave, in the larid light of the Hazy Moon, under the Great Pyramid of Skulls, when the Destroying Angel femaking his grand rounds, and swear on the cross bones of the Great Wild Turkey, and proclaim their decrees in the thunder tones of the Holey Tin Whistle. The 'Missouri Republican reports another disgraceful outrage upon a gentleman of color, by a regular Ku-Klux individual. It says: "Between Novelty and Edina, in Knox county, Missouri, a gentleman lately killed some bogs, and hanging them over night, a negro availed himself of the opportunity afforded by the darkness, stole one of the hogs, shouldered it, aud started home. On his way he had to cross a high fence, and in doing so he got to the top with the hog, the gambrel stick caught around the negro's neek, and the hog fell on one side of the fence and the negro on the other. Benlt— the negro was fonnd dead next morning with his neek broken."

DRY GOODS.

Local Trade of CrawfordsTille—Imjf j,, pressions of a Visitor.

There is, perhaps, no town of the same population in the State that enjoys so large a local trade as Crawfordsville. There are several good reasons for this. I11 the first placc the surrounding country

for many miles in every direction is un-

u®ua^J

thoroughly worked. In the second place

no competitors that are likeIy t0 soon

its merchants possess a degree of taste, affability and knowledge of the wants of their customers rarely found.

Meandering about town the other day I dropped in at the dry goods store of ALLEN & 1SROTHER, id and remained there about two hours, during which time I am sure that not one salesman or saleswoman (for this establishment employs ladies) out of four, had a moment's leisure. People from the country, people of the city, people of all sizes, ages, and degrees of beauty were constantly crowding in and crowding out, taking goods and leaving cash. This store, like most other houses of its kind in Crawfordsville, while it makes dry goods the leading feature, deals in hats, caps, boots and shoes, bonnets, underwear, etc. The amount of the stock in trade I do not know, but I observed that it was sufficient to fill the whole of a very large, well-arranged and well-light-ed room to such a degree that large piles which could not be put on shelves or counters had to remain in boxes 011 the floor.

It was with not a little surprise that I learned that this firm has adhered from the start strictly to the cash system that it has made the whole of its immense trade by the superior inducements in the way of reduction on prices which that system has enabled it to hold out.

It is thought by many that unless a merchant be in a metropolitan center, where he can depend on a self-sustaining transient business, he cannot safely enter upon a cash policy but the remarkable success of the Allen Brothers proves this idea to be false, at least so far as it relates to Crawfordsville. The well attested fact that people save money as well as trouble by paying as they go. has its influence anywhere and this fact together with the excellence and the variety of their goods, and their uniform politeness accounts for the popularity and the vigorous growth of Allen & Brother.

I was informed by this firm that it is making special preparation for the Wool trade this Spring that it will, within a few days receive large invoices of new goods from the East, which they will exchange with farmers for. ..wool that where no exchange is desired they will pay the highest cash price for wool.

The Altitude ol tlie l'rairics. An exchange, in speaking of tho altitude of the State of Iowa, makes the singular blunder of assigning to Spirit Lake an elevation of 17,000 feet, or over three miles The fact is, that the city of Keokuk is but 443 feet above tide water. No great elevations exist in Iowa, Minnesota or Dakota. Lake Itasca, the head source of the Mississippi, is only 1,495 ieet above the sea and the St. Peter or Minnesota river, which rises in Jiig Stone Lake, has its source on a level with Lac Traverse, which is the head of the Red River of the North. They are separated only by a short portage of low and sometimes overflowed land, so that the waters of either lake can then take their course either to Hudson's Bay or the Gulf of Mexico. It is to the low elevation north of them that the people of Minnesota and northern Wisconsin owe their arctic winters. It is mostly a prairie region, with but a slight growth of timber along the river valleys but all of it rs capable of profitable cultivation. When those States occupying the vast prairies of the Northwest become thoroughly settled, and are planted with shelter belts of timber ruuuing east and west and but a few miles apart, there is no doubt the climate will be greatly modified and made much milder. It is not till the spurs of the Rocky Mountains are reached, further west, that auy great elevations are found. The headwaters of the Missouri are several thousand feet higher than those of the Mississippi, and yet the settlements are fol lowing up the valley, and may some day be seen on the head waters of the stream. In the North, Saskatchewan valley corresponds in elevation very nearly to that of the Red River and as the climatic conditions are favorable, it is beyond question to be the seat of a future dense settlement.

A Man Nearly Killed by a Donkey. The Record, of McArthur, Ohio, has the following extraordinary account of an attack on an old man by a jack in that neighborhood "Charles Brown, Sr., a gentleman aged upward of sixty years, aud well known throughout this section of the State as one of our leading citizens, came very near losing his life las'f Sunday by a jack belonging to Edmund Wolf. Mr. Brown had called at Mr. Wolfs honse, and not finding him at home, started across afield after him. On the way over, he stopped at a pair of bar3 to look at jack, which was grazing in an adjoining field. The animal had been somewhat of a pet,'but upon this occasion he exhibited his treacherous disposition by jumping over the bars, knocking Mr. Brown down in his leap, seizing him by the chin, and throat with bis teeth, tearing out a. portion of the flesh and nearly baring the windpipe, at the same time falling upon and stamping his breast with his knees. Mr Brown kept his presence of mind, cangbt the brute by the nostrils and choked, him off, but be renewed the attack immediately, biting and mungling the lower part of the left arm and hand in a terrible way. Mr. Brown choked him off again, but he instantly repeated the assault. The old man was now bleeding freely, the left arm was powerless, and he was fast losing his ability to defend himself. The unequal contest could have lasted but a minute or

iy.:

two longer, when luckily Mr. Frank Dowd was passing by, heard his crirg, ran to his assistance, and beat the jack off with a rail which he took from the fence. "After the jack was driven off. Mr. Brown walked to the fence, when his steps failed him, and a wngon

there are no internal injuries, and though they do not consider him out of

danger, they think he will survive, with the probability of losing the use of his hand. "The jack is of pure Spanish blood, and has always been a pet, his dam*dying when he was but a few days old. He has been regarded-as the most docile and* even the most cowardly nnimul on the place, which makes his owner entirely unable to understand his vicious disposition as shown in

breaking fences, tormenting animals, arid doing every kind of mischief."

'7 The Wrong Baby. Tbe St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette has the following good story of an awkward exchange of babies in a railway train "Conductor Tom Clark, of the Hannibal & and St. Joseph Railroad, relates a singular incident that occurred on his train, on the 17th inst. At Quincy a lady got on the cars bearing in her arms a little child about four months old, tastefully dressed in white, for which she manifested the deepest affection. When the train reached Shelbina, another lady got on board, holding in her arms a four months old baby, the exact counterpart of the one first mentioned, and dressed in precisely the same way, and took her seat directly in front of No. 1. Just as the train started, both ladies had occasion to get up and pass through the car, and each one deposited her baby carefully on the seat. On returning each mistook her seat, and, singular to relate, also made a mistake in the babies. No. 1 carefully lifted in her arms the baby of No. 2 and No.*2 earcssed most fondly the little cherub belonging to No. 1. For twenty-two miles the two mothers rode on the train, each nursing the other's child for herown. On reaching Macon, the

A Miraculous Escape.

The Utica Observer tells the story of

a singular adventure which befell a lady in Stittsville, N. Y., lately, and which was certainly sufficient to pro

duce "a new sensation." That paper

says "Quite a sensation was cr'csted at Stittsville a few days ago. During the afternoon, while a very respectable married lady was sitting in her house sewing, a strange-look-ing man came into the house unannounced. Of course the lady was startled, and asked the intruder what his business was. After staring wildly at her for some time, the fellow shrieked out, 'Anna, you promised to marry me. and did not do so. I am going to kill you!' The lunatic—for such lie proved to be—then sprang at the lady, with a large knife in his hand, and struck at her breast several times. "The lady escaped injury for a while by a severe struggle but the fellow finally succeeded in inflicting a severe flesh wound in the center of the lady's breast. The knife fortunately came in contact with a spool of thread which the lady was using aud hud placed in her bosom, and cut through the thread to the wood. After dealing this blow the fellow ran from the house, and was not seen again. He is supposed to be an escaped lunatic from the Asylum in this city or the poorhouse at Rome. The lady never saw the fellow before and as she is not the •Anna' that evidently went back on liim, she certainly does not desire to see him again. Iler escnpe is due to the knife coming in contact with the spool of cotton in her bosom.''

., Split lTp the Power. Despotism consists in the exercise of power by one source of authority, from which there is no appeal. It matters little whether it is a king, an emperor, or ao assembly, or a convention. The practical effect is the same the tyranny of a hundred may be as bad or even worse than that of one. The only guaranty against it is that afforded by a division or splitting up of the power so that it may be in contingencies divided against itself. Part of it must be lodged in one place, and part of it in another. These checks and balances of authority are indispensable for Liberty. It is this division of power into three branches Crown, Lords and Commons—that has preserved what may be called the liberal features of the British Constitution. It is the great theory, the main element of liberty, in the Government of tbe United States. But it is not appreciated as it deserves. There are thousands who havo not the least conception of it, and who would make tbe only source of authority in

Only a Question of Time. 'Can tbe Republican party disband?' is the title of a leading editorial in iast Friday's New York Tribune. When a paper of the character of the Tribune is driven to the discussion of such a question, it shows a condition of the Republican party that is very far from being healthy. The impression is taking deep root among Republicans that J$ie Republican party has accomplished it# mission, and having grown enormously corrupt, should, for the good of the country, pass out of existence. And that conviction has been much strengthened by President Grant's selection of Simon Cameron as his favorite leader in the Senate. So noted a jobber and corruptionist as the manager of the Administration, gives to it a character that makes honest and patriotic Republicans wish to have the party disbanded as soon as possible. The Tribune, conscious of this feeling and of its being widespread and deep in the party, endeavors to show, that not just now should the party go to pieces—not, at least, until after the Connecticut election, as we read the Tribune's deprecatory effort against giving up the ghost.— Cine. Inq.

tbe General Government at Washing ton. They look upon it as the bead of the Administration, the "boss," so to speak, with the right to dictate to all the subordinates in other departments. This is a grass political error. The State and local governments, in their sphere, an entirely independent of tbe Federal Administration as much so as that Government is of them. They are not subordinates. The Federal Government itself was the creature of the States, and can only exercise the powers given it by them, and it appears so on the face of the Constitution.

Radical Kascality.

The turpitude of the Radical party

has become so terrible that it forces

men who hold the most honorablo positions from its hands to denounce it. Sumner denounces Grant, the leader

of the Repu blienn party in the Republic, and the Governor of Wisconsin,

elected by Radical votes, and in compliance with the duties of his office ex-

aminiu the actigon of the Radical leg islaturc of his State declares "that for-ty-one members had declared to him their belief that the passage of a certain bill was obtained by bribery

publican. There can be no dispute as

to the facts The disgraceful turpituds of the crime belongs to the Re

publican party.

rH Sumner for Impeachment. The great speech promised the

country by Senator Sumner, was made Monday, and arraigned General Grant as a usurper. He demonstrated

that he had used the naval force of the United States, without authority

of Congress, to for ce the poor llaj'i negroes to remain quiet while a part of their island is stolon to be used as the lever to rob thcca of the rest.

The Senator declares that the Presi

dent has employed the navy to main tain the usurper' Baca iu power, so that he might sell his country, and that the two are co operating iu the

business intending to divide the profits of the transaction between them. He

.obviously proves that. Grant ought to be impeached and removed from the

office he hns disgraced.

MANY inquiries are made in regard to New Hampshire, since its vote iu regard to Governor is rather indefinite. As matters now stand, the House of Representative# will dispose of the gubernatorial office, and that body being sufficiently Democratic, Weston will undoubtedly be cleclcd. For all purposes, the result in New Hampshire is enough to make all patriotic rejoice. The victory is perhaps as satisfactory as if tbe voto on Gov_ ernor had been decisive. There is a majority in both brandies of the Le* islature—The Senate containing five democrats and four republicans, with three vacancies, and the IIOUPC one hundred and sixty-four democrats, one hundred and sixty two republicans and four labor reformers, with three towns to he:ir from. These latter havo probably elected democrats, and the labor reformers arc tolerably sure to voto against any republican candidate.
