Public debts and standing armies
! are regarded by the common sense
of mankind as the two main causes
Ot the Oppression ami ninety 01 me
masses in modern times, and the
once free, intelligent, brave and
manly American people have, at
this moment, the biggest debt and
the biggest standing army expenses
in Chri.-tendom. What an astound
t .
ing thing to realize, that now, in
the teeth of the loud bragging of
fools and knaves of the "progress"
of the country, the railroads and
common schools, the forging of keys
to unlock mountains of gold, and

richer than ever, alter the annihila
tion of half of the entire property
accumulated since its iJrst settle
ment, here stand the two awful
foundationotS, that we have the
biggest debt and are taxed to
support the bin-crest army in the
-world, and therejovc there are
causes at work to enslave, degrade
and brutalize the millions, more po
tent and positive than in the worst
governed and most outraged peo
ple in Christendom! AVIiy, it" the
American -people could have one
clear, exact glimpse, for live min
utes, of the. real "'situation," a mil
lion of men would march to Wash
ington, and annihilate their "gov
ernment" from the face of the earth,,
and then give no rest to their feet
or sleep to their eyelids until they
found some path of safety or road
to restoration out of a condition of
tilings so horrible and unparelelled.
liut let us go into detail, ami con
template the distinct and isolated
$tcts that now stare ns in the lace.
It is a fart that a Northern sec
tianal party, of barely one-third of
the people, got possession of the
government ten years ago, and
within these years have sacrificed
a million of lives and wasted half
of the entire property of the coun
try. It is a(? t that for five years
past the e iple have been taxed
more lie:, vil to support standing
armies thru have those of imperial
France, ai.d to pa 3" the interest on
a public debt greater than that
whic h, in England, has ground out
two millions of paupers within a
century.
It is a that our commerce,
which, ten years ago,, was second
only to that of England, has so ut
terly disappeared, that in 1870
there were fewer ships built than
in 1770, and, save in "pleasure
yachts," ship building in this coun
try is likely to become one of Wen
dell Phillips's lost arts.
It s:jact that standing armies,
for five years past, have been kept
in the South to abolish the natural
supremecy of the white people, and
thus to abolish negro labor, for, left
to his own volition, the negro not
only is not but cairnot be a pro
ducer. It is a fact ' that this sectional
party of barely one-third of the' peo
ple, has been kept in power, and is
now in power solely by the bayo
nets ot staiuhmjr armies m the
South.
Finally, it is n fact that this sec
tional party of barely one"-third of
the people claim to have totally
overthrown the American systim,
and instead of self-governing
States, composed of a homogeneous
citizenship, to have set tip a "New
Nation," including negroes, In
dians, mulattoes, Chinese and all
the lower races in oar midst, and
that gives Congress the power to
oaf re its p:i; c'ples everywhere
by standing armies, if needs be.
Such are the fact that stare us in
the face, and that, leaving out of
view the tremendous ruin wrought,
present the most ast .tin ding revo
lution of human society the world
ever saw, and that not only may,
but ttiftst end, sooner or later, in
universal ehaos, horror, blood and
misery without parallel save
where the same thing is "tried" on
in Mexico and South America.
What, then, is to be done to save
tha t o mtry, our children, the luna
tics themselves, from these inevit
able horrors? What, in a word,
can be done to save our liepubli
can institutions and society itself
from chaos? Why, we must re
store the work of the fathers the
lnty Republic of 1SG0 that nlo
rious nnd beneficent Union wl'Tich
lunatics, fools and traitors have
overthrown, under the mask of de
fending it. Tins is the work t 1
done, and the Democrtie press must
do it. The "Democratic party " as
it stands to-day, is an incumber
ance. Its assumed lon.lov
most of them as blind and ignorant
as the Abolitionists themselves
without consignee or moral sense
of any kind, and for the sake of of
fice, a seat with niggers in the Mon
grel Congress, would barter their
souls, or what is left of that once
respectable article. The straight

Dignity of Labor. It would
seem that employment, from the
morning of creation, when God
Himself worked and rested, and
when Adam was commanded to
till the soil and subdue the animal,
implies peculiar dignity and honor.
It is apostolie, it is Christ-like, it is
God like to work. No system of
education is complete that does not
harden the hand and toughen the
muscle, while it developes the in
telect and enlarges the heart. The
religion that shows nothing but
pale cheeks and lily-white fingers
is not the religion of the Bible.
Highways and hedges are better
sanctuaries for an acceptable ser
vice than studies and cloisters and
cells. Scars and knots on the hands
are more honorable than rings and
gloves. Bronze out of the sun
beams is more beautiful on the face
than rouge out of shops. Only a
worker attains the true symetiy,
strength and glory of manhood or
womanhood. Genius itself falters
in a conflict with labor. Industry
has the long end of the lever that
moves public opinion, parties, Con
gresses and thrones. It was men
with brown faces and sine we" arms
that built the pyramids in Egypt,
reared the temple on Mount Mo
riah, and walled the Holy city with
adamant, circled an Asiatic em
pire with impenetrable granite, put
arm in arm the old and new world
as whispering mother and daugh
ter, spanned the American conti
nent with a thoroughfare of iron
from sea to sea, cut a canal for
steamers across the desert sands
where the Israelites wandered for
forty years ; "it is men with sun
burnt features and nerves of steel
that to-day whiten the world's
whit e waters with the toils of com
merce, navigate all rivers, explore
all lands, and subdue the earth as
God at first, commanded.

The Cause of Lee's Death.
Dr. B. L. Madison and II. T.
Barton, attending physicians of
General Lee, have contributed to
the Richmond and Louisville Med
ical Journal a detailed account of
his last sickness, and the treatment
pursued. They sum up the case as
follows :
We had long been painfully im
pressed with the conviction that de
pressing moral causes were slowly
but steadily undermining General
Lee's health, in a ratio far exceed
ing the inroads of mere physical
disease. Indeed, how could it be
otherwise ! The terrible strains
upon him during the momentous
campaigns of 1803 and 18G4, the
agony of mind endured at Appo
mattox, the wail that went up from
widows and orphans all over the
desolated and ruined South, the
bankrupt condition of his native
State, the mute and eloquent woe
appeal i 1 ig to him on all sides, were
enough, and more than enough, to
bow his mighty spirit, and to crush
o'.it, with fatal tread, the energies
of his life! And more than this,
with all this mighty sorrow weigh
ing him down, he ever preserved a
calm, serene, and even cheerful ex
terior. Few, even, of his most in
timate friends, knew the depths of
his anguish, rendered all the keener
and the more poiirnant. by the
very efforts to suppress it. lie
felt it his duty to conceal it, even
while conscious that, like the Prom-
einean vuuures it was tearing
away his heart. No man less he
roic than himself, no man le-c-s sus
tained by great Christian faith and
Christian principles could have
borne his burden lor an hour. 1 et,
even with him, it was only a ques
tion of time. General Lee died of
a broken heart, and its strings were
napped at Appomattox ! In ref
erence to the proximate cause of
his death, we. were of the opinion
that it was due to passive conges
tion of the brain, not proceeding
far enough to produce apoplexy or
elusion. 1 here was positive evi
dence of acute softenin'-T, of eere-
britis, or of embolism. There was
no paralysis of motion or sensation,
but marked debility from the lirst.
His svmntoms, in many respects,
resembled concussion, without its
attendant syncope. The treatment
was based upon the above diagno
sis. The Outrage Committee.
Since the appointment of the Out
rage Committee by the Senate, the
Kadicals have found out that its
baek-aelionary effects are likely to
prove more injurious to them than
its direct force to the parties in
tended to be hurt. Governors
Holden and Scott, of North and.
South Carolina, have been sum
moned to give testimony, but we
are told it is probable that the
North Carolina Conservatives will
submit some evidence rather dam
aging to Holden and showing, be
yond all doubt, that bands ot pil
lagers and barn-burners in that
Slate, who have lately been arrest
ed and taken before the civil au
thorities for trial, have confessed
that they belonged to the Union
League. The effort to fasten these
outrages on the Conservatives will
be pretty effectually negatived.
Free Trade. The Democratic
journals throughout the West are
all in favor of the free trade doc
trine. So are we. We believe in
the principle of buying what we
need where we can get it the cheap
est, and selling what wc have to
dispose of where we can get the
most for it. This is the true secret
of national as well as individual
prosperity, and by-and-by it will
he the acknowledged doctrine all
over the country. The old cry of
"protection" is played out ; inas
much ffs the only ones who. are
"protected" are the wealthiest men
in the land. Did anybody ever
hear of tariff for the protection of
the poor man? We guess net.
The manufacturers are about the
only cla;s that are "protected," but
the men who work for them get
none of the benefits of such protec
tion. Free trade is the panacea for
all the ills of the tariff. Let the
pto lp beg'n to open their eyes to
their own interests. The "protec
tion" humbug has veiled them long
enough. Wake up! It is retting
daylight, and the mists and shades
of the tarifr-nisdit are rapidly dis
appearing. IE IV. Statesman.
Some hard-up editor gets off the
following: "Wc love to see the
blooming rose in all its beauty
dressed ; we love to hear our friends
disclose the emotions of the breast.
We love to see the cars arrive, all
laden at our door; we love to see
our neighbor thrive and love to
bless the poor. We love all these,
yet far above all that we ever said
wedovc what overy printer loves
to have subscriptions paid."
Different. It is successful to
love that laughs at loefcsmith's
disappointed "love is of a different
key. .
C0URT3SY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
Es-Presi&ent Johnson on President
Grant-
A correspondent of the Cincin
nati Commercial has visited ex-
President Johnson at his house in
Greenville, Tetm., and elicited from
him the following very candid re
marks concerning Gen. Grant:
The intelligent men of the party
don't know what to do with Grant.
It would gratify them much if he
would resign, but he won't. So
far from resigning, he's working
and intriguing for a second term.
He will never get it. lie is no
more lit for a President than a
goose. He has got no ability
nothing but a little low cunning.
His cunning is of a poor sort; it
is mean cunning. He never had
an original idea in his life. lie is
an insignificant little fellow, a bun
dle of personal piques, petty spites
and . prejudice. He is as selhsh
as the days are long. He used the
highest office in the gift of the
people to advance private ends and
those of his family, and intrigue
for a second term. He knows a
little something about horses, but
has not brains enough to make a
first-class horse jockey if turned
out to the business, although that
is about all he is fit for. If we are
to have a horse jockey for the
highest office in the land we had
ought to have a good o:;e.
Giant's coming to the surface is
the result of an accident; nay, it
is an accident of an accident.
You may search history from the
foundation of the world to the
present, and you will not find a
case like his a man wdio rose
solely by the power ot accident.
In the boiling cauldron of war,
the scum rises to the top. In the
bubbling off he came up from the
bottom, and run off, as scum al
ways will, or we should never
have heard of him. By a series of
accidents he roe to the command
of the anoy. He was the creature
of a peculiar combination of 'cir
cumstances. He rose to the top in the general
turmoil and throwing up. The re
bellion would have been suppressed
without him. He was an . incident
to the strgugle like a baggage
wagon, for example. A baggage
wagon had a part to perform, but
without the war sentiment and
patriotism iu the North, it could
have done nothing. Neither could
Grant. Everything was furnished
him that he wanted. His armies
outnumbered those of the rebels.
Every engine of war was placed at
his disposal. The lebellion went
down while he was in command.
If any one else had been in com
mand at the time it would have
been the same, although the result
would have been brought about
with less loss of life. His Wilder
ness campaign was a perfect mas
sacre. 11 is iv ad was paved with
skulls and washed with blood.
His conduct in regard to the ex
ehunge of prisoners was inexcusa
ble. In his correspondence on the
subject he let one sentence drop
which illustrates his character. A
ray of liirht passing through a
crevice will often light up a whole
room. So it is with the character
of a man
We fequently get a clear insight
into his heart, as it were, by a
single sentence that he may write
or st teak. He is utterly remorsless;
objecting to exchange prisoners
with the rebels because our men iu
their hands were weak and emanci
pated, while the rebel prisoners
were strong and able to go right,
into the army and light us.
Grant, sir, is a small man ; he is
little every way you take him.
He is a bundle of small, contempti
ble prejudices. He does not rise
to the dignitv of a man. He lacks
courage as well as discrimination,
lie thinks he is making tools of
certain politicians, when in truth,
they are making a tool of him.
But he dees not know it ; he is to
be pitied.
Before I would go into Grant's
Cabinet, either in 1872 or any
other time, I would get me a situ
ation as assistant hog driver, or, as
an old man in the country used to
say, I would tie a rope around my
neck ami then round a tree, and
then walk off.
The editor of the Huntington
(Pa.) Globe is a man of sense.
Hear the genious talk:
Love Her.- Have you got a
sister ? Then love and cherish
her with a holy friendship, says an
exchange, to which we add, if you
haven't got any sister of your own,
take some other feller's sister" and
love her. The effect is just as good
and sometimes better.
Suppose that other feller had no
sister, would a pretty little cousin
do just as well ?
A Peeler. A Colorado lover
thus describes his sweetheart;
" She's a peeler, she is. She killed
a bear when she was fifteen, and a
Digger Indian when she was
eighteen, and now she'll whip her
weight in wildcats whoop?"
A First-Hate Temuerance Talk-
A Captain .of a packet vessel
sailing from New. York to Liver
pool, says he never heard but one
temperence talk that was worth
any thing, but that was "first-rate."
He once went to a temperence
meeting at Livepool, to oblige a
friend, and a good looking, well
dressed man was called upon to ad
dress the meeting. He now stood
up before the meeting, ami he said
he iicvr had made a speech in his
life and did not believe lie ever
should, for it was not in him. How
ever, he would tell wliat temper
ence had done for him. When he
used to -drink, somehow he never
was well, could never pay his
quarter's rent, nor his weekly bills,
nor clothe himself nor his family
decently; but now that he had left
oft drinking, his rent -was punctu
ally paid to the day, he had no
weekly accounts for he had ready
money. They all saw how he ap
peared and was dressed. And, fak
ing a nice looking woman by the
arm, ami four children by the hand,
he said: "You see how my wife
and children look, in health and ap
pearance. Well their food and
dress is all paid for, and if you
want to see how my house is furn
ished, come and see me at home
any evening except church 'night',
which is Tuesday, and this meeting
which is Thursday, and you wiil
find me in as well furnished a room
as any one needs, Besides this, I
have a hundred pounds in the sav
ings' bank. This is all I can say
to-night." And he sat down. He
had said enough.
In .New York Mrs. Jane F. Ilal
stead, aged 70 years, has sued for
a divorce from her husband, David
P. Ilalstead, aged 75 years; adul
tery is the offense alleged against
the young rascal. But David
counter charges upon the frisky
damsel by alleging that she. had
been doing the " same dings," and
thereby had attempted to palm off
upon him a child of which he was
not the actual parent. And then,
as a further reason why he should
not 4jdve the juvenile Jane the ad
ditional alimony she demanded,
the young David averred that he
had a child out of tlfe regular
order to support and even worse
than this that a woman and live
other of his children depended on
him for maintenance. If such
things can be done in tlie dry bush,
what may not be done in the green?

A Detroit man went out shoot
ing pigeons, and took a flask of
brandy with him. On returning
he struck a racing track in the sub
urbs of the city and walked around
it all night, wondering why he did
not get to Detroit. At dayfght
the matter was made plain to" him,
and he has sworn off. That night
on-a mile track was the best tem
perance lecture he ever heard.
Mixed. There is a family in
one of the towns of Southern Berk
shire, Mass., in which four own
sisters are lawfully called "mother"
by two individuals. A husband
and wife are cousins, their mothers
being sisters. The husband's
mothers died, and a few years
later a third sister married his
father. Later still the - wife's
mother died, and a fourth sister
married her father.
A young woman delegate in the
recent Ohio convention of woman
suffragists, plumply said: " For
my own part, I love a man, indi

like me, would utter their real sen
timents. I 'am more anxious for
man's elevation ami improvement
than for woman's, and so is every
true woman.

mind them not. If they block
your path, w alk around them. A
man who has no enemies is seldom
good for anything he is made of
that kind of material which is so
easily, worked that every one has
a hand iti it. A sterling character
one who thinks for himself, 'and
speaks what he thinks is always
sure to have enemie. They aro
as necessary to him as fresh air,
they keep him alive and active. A
celebrated character -who was sur
rounded by enemies, used to re
mark, "they are sparks whfc'hQif
you do not blow will go out of
themselves." Let this also be your
feeling, while endeavoring to livj
down the scandall of those who
are bitter enemies against yoU. If
you stop to dispute, you do but a
they desire, and open the way for
al use. Let the p,o r fellows talk
there will be a reaction if you
perform but your duty, and hun
dreds who were once alienated
from you will Hock to you and ac
knowledge their error.
IIo'.v to Quit Swearixg! A
story is told of a citizen of Dan
bury, who was cured of the wretch
ed habit of swearing, in a novel
manner. He was an inveterate
curser and grumbler. At meals
he neglected a blessing, "and swore
at everything, from the gravy to
the teapot. His oath's discolored the
napkins, soared the bread, and cur
dled the milk. His wife, who evi
dently beliveed the hair of a dog
would cure the hire, stood this un
seemly conduct "until forbearance
ceased so be a virtue." One morn
ing lie was unusually cross and pro
fane, and was about to take a fresh
start at something else, when his
wife -suddenly broke out with a
series of oaths that made the old
gentleman get up and leave his
chair as though some one "had in
troduced a -pin between the canes'.
As soon as she ceased, he breath
lessly remarked, "Well, I swear, if
it has got so you can swea it is
time I quit. And he did.

Kevels expires on the 4-th of March

seat, is a white-man, who was a
rebel, and is a Radical, but still he
is a white man in color at hast, and

The same paper says :
"Wherever a Democratic county
paper is well supported", there the
party and its principles grow and
flourish. The most efficient aid a'3
Democrat can give to his cause is
to extend and increase the circula
tion and "usefulness of his county
paper.
Truer words were never spoken".
Money expended for Democratic
newspapers does more for the good
of the people than when expended
for bayonets, uniforms for a stand
