Abo.c of (lie A diuiukaf I'BI^on.
The Argus makes a desperate attemp to i
fix upon the “Radicals” the responsibility for (
the mal administration af Andrew Johnson.
It is true that Republican votes elected him
and we must admit that in so doing Republi
cans made a gigantic though au uninteution- ]
al mistake. But the responsibility was speed
ily shifted from the Republicans who did not
o the Democrats who did endorse him. He
did what he could, and that was considerable,
to make his a Democratic administration,and
iu spite ot all the Republicans could do he suc
ceeded but tco well in obstructing the whole
some legislation of Congress, and in perpetu
ating the frauds ot the whiskey ring upon the
revenue. It is as plain as arithmetic can
■sake it that there has been a more efficient
collection, and a more economical disburse
ment of the revenue under President Grant.
Otherwise how are the receipts larger now
than under Johnson, in spile of reduced tax
•e ? The burdens of the people are lighter,
hut the thieves who reigned under Johnson’s
administration have to contribute their share
now to the support otthe government
The Argus says1- The people will ask these
men, and vety properly, how it is, that with
all their prolessions of economy it happened
ttaft the expenses of the Government are to
day two and a quatter rimes greater than
before the war, making due allowance for de
preciated currency and the} growth of the
country ?” No not the people, only copper
heads will ask that question. Every intelli
gent man kows (hat pensions and the public
debt, the interest on which forms the chief
item of additional expend ture, are the price
of the Union. That is probably more than
the Argus and its compeers In disloyalty dur
ing the war think the Union worth. If not
why are they always blaming the Repub
lican party for the debt? The inference
is natural, and their whole conduct
shows that if they could have had their way,
the debt would liave been saved and the
Union las' I The Republican party are not
to blame for the creation of the debt. They
simply elected their candidate for tbe presi
deney as they bad a tight to do, and tbe
southern wing of the Democratic party rebel
led, and tried to destroy the Union. The debt
was created in overtliiowing Democratic
treason, and the Democracy, not the Republi
can party is responsible lor it. If it bad not
lw,nn U..V f Iv.v ii.laenol nenfiniv «P 4l.«
cy about repudiation our credit would long
ago have improved so as to enable us to tund
the public debt at a lower rate of interest, and
thus lighten the burdens of the people. The
growling of the Democratic papers about the
cost ot the public debt shows that six years
of defeat have not taken the copperbeadism
out of Ihem. The country never will be safe
until that element is buried beyond the hope
ol resurrection.
It is not at all strange that the Democratic
party should abuse President Grant. They
did the same by President Washington. Dem
ocratic demagogues were as bitter then
against the father of bis country as they arc
now against its preserver. Of course both
made mistakes, and a fair criticism of these it
entirely proper. But nothing of this kind
comes from Democratic journals. Their crit
icism is worthless because abusive and indis
criminate. It is simply an unscrupulous at
tempt to get themselves into power by decry
ing not only the mistakes but the merits of
President Gram's administration.
A Mare'i Nnt.
The Argus has made an astounding dis
covery and turns up its hundred eyes in holy
honor thereat.
It has detected the wicked radicals in col
lecting funds for carrying on the political
•ampaign in this State, and thereupon
preaches a sermon upon the corruption of the
Republican party. Innocent Argus, to sup
pose that the cartloads of Documents and
newspapers; ti.e thousands of political
speeches, the political meetings with bands of
music and other accompaniments, all come
spontaneously and cost nothing. |TUis dis
play of virtuous indignation by onr Demo
cratic neighbor is very amusing considering
the tact that all political parties collect funds
for promoting the objects tor which they
were toimed. The Democratic committee
now sitting In Washington has doomed every
Democratic member of Congress and every
State official, in States where they have the
ascendency, to procure funds with which to
carry the tall election.
Fwrtunatr-ty *l»ty have » limited field, and
consequently a lean Treasury; but as they
circulate but few documents, and as whiskey
has been cheapened by the reduction of the
tax they will probably manage to hold their
own while waiting lor the predicted “good
time coming.”
The collection of funds to promote polilica
objects is as legitimate as contributions lor the
conversion of the heathen. The Government
was rescued from Democratic misrule, and
saved from destruction by a Democratic re
bellion, by means of the fight shed by Repub
lican speakers and Republican writers. The
party that under Buchanan abandoned the
Government to rebels is again seeking to ob
tain possession of it, and consequently it is
necessary lor the Republicans to keep on
their armor and fight, and pray, and pay.
When we gel this corrupt Democratic party
fairly buried then we can rest, and the coun
try cau “have peace.”
Political.
The proceedings at llie Labor Congress at
Cinehiciunati are not entirely harmonious.
Politics is a disturbing element.
The Republicans of Iowa held their State
coiivention at Des Moines on the 17th and
nominated a State ticket for Judges of the
Supreme Court, Secretary of State and other
officers. They passed resolutions iu favor of
a revenue tariff, opposing grants of public
lands to railroads or oilier corporations with
out ample provision being made for their
speedy sale at moderate prices, opposing mo
nopolies, and expressing sympathy with the
Germans in the present European war.
There is a division ot opinion in Texas as
to whether the anti-Radieal element should
organize as a Democratic party or on a sim
ple basis of opposition lo the present Stale
government as a Conservative party.
The Republican State Convention of Ala
bama meets at Selma on the 30tli of August.
The Bolton Transcript says no one can
reasonably doubt tliat whatever political in
fluence Wendell I’lii'lips may have next win
ter, it will be used to make General Butler
United Slates Senator.
The prospect is that genera! James S. Neg
ley will be nominated for re-eleciion to Con
gress by the Republicans of the Tweniy-sec
ond Peufi3ylvania district.
The Memphis Republicans have started a
campaign paper.
There are so many aspirants for political
honors in Wisconsin just now that it is said
to be a tolerable safe tiling, when one meets a
citizen of that State, ta ask him who the
other candidates are in his Congressional Dis
trict.
Wendell Phillips is the first candidate for
gubernatorial honors in Massachusetts who
has never voted.
The chaotic condition of affairs in Mexico,
go tar from improving, is daily growing worse.
Involutions, from being intermittent, have be
«ome chronic. The whole country is dissatis
fied and restless, and its future prosperity a
problematical matter.
Accounts from the South represent that
the crops are in good condition. The grain
crops are already secured, and are very large.
List year the people of most of the
Gulf States imported grain from the North at
hah prices-corn selling as high as $1,75 a
bushel. Dealers are now offering to contract
fji the delivery of new corn at eiglity-flve
Ct,nt». It heat is selling at Atlanta at $1.25,
63d it is thought the State of Georgia will
h .«* a considerable surplus for export. This
condition of things will be a great relief for
the South, since it will enable the producing
class to enlarge their operations next year,
snd so build up the general prosperity on
ntablc foundations.
The jury system seems to fall more and
moia into dis'avor at New Orleans. The
Times of that city says: ‘ The chance that
they will always be composed ol a majority of
ignoramuses, and a minority of sensible men,
out of temper at being snatched away from
business, does not afford that certainty of jus-1
tice desirable in law disputes. Again, a cer- J
U
ain amount of intelligence ami familiarity b
rith the science of law is indispensable to >>
be proper understanding of nine out of every ^
en cases brought before the Courts.” a

1'olaad Mineral Springs.
Poland Springs Aug. 1870.
To the Editor of the Press:
The reason why this pleasant summer re
sort has received less notice from the press
than other places of no greater attractions, is
that it has numbered among its guests less
newspaper writers, and aspiring essayists.
Those ambitious writers and metropolitan
tourists seeking “immortality” in letter and
notoriety in travel visit the seaside and the
mountains, not that they possess superior
beauties and more healthful attractions but
because they have been long celebrated as the
favorite resort of distinguished pleasure seek
ers, not liteiary aspirants.
But had you newspaper men experienced
the inspiration of these healing waters and
pure exhilirating air which quickens the young
and “restores old age to the vigor of youth,”
this restlul retreat would have been renown
ed in nourishes ol the "editorial quill” and
the display of journalistic ability.
The history of the spring in detail from the
discovery of its valuable water to the present
time would form an article too lengthy for
your columns, hut we trust your indulgence.
But a desire to visit the spot where nature
forms her o r itive wateis and taste it as it
leaps from its native fountain, has attiacted
many thither during the summer seasons fora
few years past. There are more visitois here
the present season than any preceding year.
From your own beautilul city.' from
the “Hub” Irom tbe great metropolis and
national capital they have come in such quan
tities that the hotel cannot accommodate
them. The Central House at the vi lage
three miles distant is filled “from garret to
basement” with metropolitan visitors. The
patronage the present season is only sugges
tive 01 what it will he when its merits are
better known. A place of quiet beauty with
unrivalled rural attractions it is destined to
become the favorite resort of those seeking
health and quietude. W.

was formed inside the building, of S“venty
Jewish children, each carrying a colored wax J
candle, with the president, ciders and trustees j

Sixty of the Roman Catholic clergy of Mad
rid have left Romo and formed a new free
church, and a priest in Estramuda has como
cut, bringing 14 parishes with him. The in
fallibility question has helped on this move
ment. A priest in Madrid of Jewish blood has
jeined the Protestants, and is reported to he a
very eloquent man. He went six weeks ago
to Avila, a town where there is a seminary of
Catholic priests; and his preaching drew such
crowds that the theaters were shut up, except
on Sunday, when some fool-hardy player on
the stage undertook to abuse the Protestants.
He was immediately whistled and hooted by
the audience, who insisted on his reappearance
to retract all he had said. The result is a new
church in Avila.

Tbe news from the seat of war by telegraph
yesterday, up to 5 o’clock are conflioling and
unsatisfactory. More intelligence has come
through Frencli channels and it is very boast
ful. According to these reports the object of
the Prussians was to cut off the French retreat
on the capital, but it failed, and the Prussians
have been out-generaled. The French claim
to have gained positive advantages in a dozen
different localities, but they do not mention
one brilliant or decisive victory at a single
point. Bazaine is advancing (or retreating) on
Chalons aud promises to give general battle
there. He is marching in three lines. Each
time the first line is attacked in the march the
second and third throw themselves on the
threatened paint, join in combat and continue
their retreat alter having gained the advan
tage. This Invariably has been the case in the
actions Bince the 14th. Five bloody engage
ments have taken place and each time we have
repulsed the enemy after having inflicted on
him very heavy losses. Generals Frossard and
Bataille are wounded, the latter seriously.—
The armies of Prince Charles and Steinmetz
are decimated but constant reinforcements
have arrived from the army of the Crown
Prince.
McMahon with a part of his advance is
marching rapidly on Chalons, where he has
despatched two divisions to protect his junc
tion. Strasbourg, Pfalshurg and Thionviile
hold out well. At all these places the enemy
has been repulsed. Gen. Bazaine, it is said,
desires that all news should be withheld from
the French people, fSr fear of the demoralizing
effect which the publication of the names of
the kiUed and wounded would have on the
people. The French journal in New York ut
ters a warning to King William that when
the concentration of the French army at Chal
ons is completed bis colossal army will be an
nihilated. The French claim in the five days
battles to have fearfully decimated the Prus
sian army. Of the Prussiau guards not one
regiment is left fit for service. They also boast
that tbe Prince and Princess of Wales are
warm French sympathizers. Gen. Trocbu has
taken command at Paris and is massing his
forces, which improves the state of feeling in
the capital. Eleven of the Vilette rioters have
been convicted and shot.
t*er contra to all the above the Prussians
claim to have divided <be French army in the
battle of Tuesday, and driven the main body
hack into Metz, while there is but a few scat
tering divisions between them and Psris. The
army of the Rhine, then, must either surren
der or fight. It is believed that negotiations,
for peace are now in progress in London
Tbrere is a strong anti-Prussian feeling in
Ru-sia and negotiations are said to be going
oh Detween 1st. Petersburg and Vienna. It is
also said that the Pope has offered to mpditate
between the contending parties. The King
replied that Prussia neither desired nor pro
voked the war now waging, and was ready to
listen to the appeal of the Pope for peace, if
the independence of Germany was iusured,
and if His Holiness was able to give assurance
of the peaceful disposition of the Emperor of
France, and a guarantee against a renewal by
the latter of any future attempt to disturb the
peace of Europe. But we remember
that His Infallibility' once offered to meditate
between 11s and the rebels in our late difficul
ty. A Berlin despatch states that Napoleon is
suffering from acute symptoms of febrile
monomania, during the proxysurs of which he
incessantly cries that he has been betrayed.
e have also a mass ot details concerning
the battles of the week, but they are chiefly
descriptive in character.
The following aneedote taken from an ex
change describes the past aud present condi
tion of the Democratic party in this district to
a dot. At the commencement of the campaign
the disseutions in the Republican ranks gave
them an opportunity to “laugh” and indulge
the hope of success, but now that the Republi
cans have substantially settled their difficul
ties, and concluded to fight the battle on the
old line, the Democrats see that their “lafture”
was premature and their hopes not likely to
be realized. Here is the story:
Patrick saw a bull pawing in a field, and
thought what fun it would bo to jump over,
3atch him by tile horns, and rub his nose iu’
the dirt. The idea was so funny that he lay
Jowu and laughed to think of it. The more ho
thought of it, the funnier it seemed, and he de
termined to do it. Bovus quickly tossed him
over the fence again, somewhat bruised. Pat
leisurely picked himself up, with the consola
tory remark, “Well it’s a mighty foiue thing I
bad my laugh foorst.”
Rev. Dr. Adams.—Rev. George E. Adams
D. D., left Brunswick on Friday for OraDge,
H. J., where he will assume charge of a new
oaaisb. Dr. Adams has been connected with
the Congregational Church in Brunswick for
nore than forty years, and was much beloved
ij his people, who declined to formally accept
lis resignation. The reason of Dr. Adams,
•emoval is to improve the impaired health o*
limself and family. We are sure that the
dessings of thousands will attend this venera
de pastor and iriend in his new home and new
elations. _

The invalid has oficn good reasons to exclaim,
“save me irom my friends” As a general tliiDg. i
sach of them will have a different medicine to *
propose, and if he follows all their prescriptions j
in turn, the well-meant advice may bo the death J
)t him. The only sensible course in any case of *
lick ness is to resort promptly to a specific which j
las stood the test ot a long acd widely extended f
public experience, and obtained on solid and suffl- t
dent grounds the reputation ot a Standard Remedy. J
L'his rank among the restoratives ot our day belongs
>t right, and beyond all dispute, to Hostetter’s
stomach Bitters. Let those who are taking it at
his debilitating season as an iuvigorant answer for
hemselves as to its tonic properties. Can any dys- *
leptic, who has ever used it, question its superiority 1
ts a stomachic over every other medicine? Can any 1
>erson of bilious habit, who has ever taken it for 1
iver complaint, doubt its efficiency? It is believed ?
.niong the tens ot thousands who are now using, or
lave heretofore used it as an altetative and correct
ve, not one can be lound who would exchange it lor ,
ny other preparation in the kown world. For in- (
ermittent fevers, nervous debility, constipation, ^
ick stomach, and all complaints arising from Indi- .
lestion or impoverishment ot the blood, it is the only t
rticlo which can be conscientiously guaranteed, a
n l no one who i- thoroughly acquainted with its

The greater part of the road Is already completed,
ar.d the earningc from the finished portion are a),
ready more than sufficient to pay operating expenses
and interest on the bonds. The b dance or the work
is progressing rapidly, in time tor the movement of
the coming grain crops, which, it is estimated will
\tuuuio me picacui income oi tat rosu.
The established character of this line, running as
it does through the heart of the most thickly settled
and richeat. portion of tlis great State oi Iowa, to
gether with its present advanced condition and large
earnings warrant us in unhesitatingly recommending
these bonds to investors, as in every respect, an un
doubted security.
These bonds have BO rears to rnn, are < onvertlble
attbe option of the holder Into the stock ol the com- i
pany at par, and the payment of the principal is
provided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility
privilege attached to these bonds cannot fail to cause
tbsau at no distant day to command a marktt price
considerably above par, besides paying about 9 per
cent., currency, interest in the mem while. U. S.
Five-twenties at present prices only return 5 per
cent., and we regard the security equally sate.
