THE
LAST NOTICE J,
JfcSTDeeming that it would derogate
from our 'dignity 1 and be unbecoming-the
elevated position we bold, as the head
grinder of the Grand Organ of a great
party, to notice anonymous communica
tions emanating'from any source whatso
ever, and especially when coming through
a particidar channel, and more particu
larly when our pay-triotic andywe mo
tives are questioned, impugned or rightly
divined, thereforo we have
Resolved, That we will not hereafter
i descend from our stilts and deign-to notice
j the babbling of undignified and irrespon
; sible characters who write anonymous
communications no matter "under what
circumstances they are published."
Resolved, That the meat we have fed
upon gives us the right to comment whbn
arid hoW w'c please and *' 'as occasion re
quires," and therefore,
Resolved, That when we ope our mouth
let no dog bark.
Resolved, That this be double leaded

dred exchangee and seven thousand dccid-l

Some men grow ricb by long, Laborious toiling—
A wasted life repays their unrcmittant care;
While I grow fat by other men despoiling,
And quietly from them their surplus treasure tear.
I love Sambo, while lie brings
To my coffers such bright things,
Dut if ho ever stops'his"'nss,"-
I*ll kick his shins,
And break his nose,
And stump his t jos,
And" punch bis eyes, .
Until he ciics.
Uut while he'll steal,
I for him feel.
I'll Dinah kiss
And think it bl'fs,
1/ very soon 1
It brings a Spoon'..
When friends my death bud gather round
To catch th' articulated sound
The last word from my tongue that slip',
And trembles through my quivering lips,
Though knowing dsath is coining soon,
Will bo, my kingdom for a Spoon!
Three' Cheers for Sct-anton*?-
jtriTAn election was held in Scranton,
Luzerne County, Pa., OD Tuesday of last
week, which rcsul'ed in the choice of Mr
Mahon, the democratic candidate for city
treasurer, by 638 ! majority. The demo
cratic majority for mayor in 1866 was
188. For treasurer in 1807 it was 405.
The select council will staud 5 liupubli

we thought of you, poor Brail, cooped op,

Although there wec fully two hundred

happiness; each and everyone sought aud

LIBERTY AND LAW.
A gentlemen writing from Rome, Geoc*--
ia, to an exchange, says :
° 'That if a frcedmnn tells the Bureau ..
that a farmer owes him a sum of money, *
and the farmer protests that he doesn't .
owe him a dollar, an i asks for a trial, no
trial is granted, hut a military judgment
is summarily rendered against bun for
probably more than he is worth, his prop
erty seized, his } orson put under guard,
and his family terrified, and all fir noth
ing—no writ, ne charges, no court, no
party, no examination no inquiry, noth
ing but the black vagabond's jay-no*
What else could bo expected under
military rule? The will of each petty ty
sary. So it has been in all ages. Iliuian
nature is the same now it was in tho-days
of Belsbazzar and Ilerold and Nero. The
one-man power is death to civil liberty.
And this is the kind :>f Government
that Lewis P. Fiery and radicals-of his
stripe are seeking to have established in
Maryland—the kiud of Government- tho#
style Republican-the kind of GOVCD*-
mcnt. they pronounce tho brst the world
evor saw—the kind of Govcrmr*t that
Grant glories in, and tho only* kind that
lie possesses calibre sufficient to adminis
ter There is no •Justice or Liberty in
such a Government, and the people will
have none cf it.
