courts of the country the case of the
plunderers and Kwindlers who have
rought the State to the ruin of its
finamces, and who have so seriously

Judge Chase and his Platform.
The Waship onm cs rresp. .en ct of
the New York iIemaid furnisbes an
account, of a plan on foot by thme
friends of Chief Ju-tieo Chase to
place him in the Presidenatial field.
It is proiposed to have a meeting at
Parkesburgh, West Virgiia, ou the
18th of April, and to promulgato a
declaration of piriniciples u'on whjiich
his support is to be claimed. The
platform as prese(nt<g is a sounad one
in the main, and adroitly avoids giving
offense to Demnocrats, while it should
be thoroughly acoeptable to every
anti-Granmt Repubboua..
The purpose of this new movement
is to send ini the namne of Judge Chase
to the Cliun~mitj Convention on
something like equal terms with
Jodgeo Davia.
In any view of the ease t):e move
mont is an an important one. It will
add to the force of the* anti.Grant
Republican current . strongly setting
in to sweep the great gift taker., from

n1l Claffn and conany.
We announoed last week that at
the time of goidg to press the troop of
cavalry were on the western side of
the country asking arrests. The
first exploit of tho command was the
capture of Mr. T. M. Bandets, whom
they found at the hou-e of his father.
in-law, Mr. A. T. Waker NJr. 8.n
ders had been i ~ eton overy day for a
week previous ' his arrest, and could
have been oapiured at any tinte.
The effect, though, would not have
boon so dramatic as dragging him out
at 1 o'clock in the worijing and tak
ing him alone as a paisoter of war.
The company ieturned from this raid
on Thursday morning bringit.g with
them, besides Mr. Sanders, M. T. T.
Castles, Riohard Woods, Willia:u Mo.
Collum, Martin- Wade, Thomas A.
Anderson, James Darby and Joseph
Sims. Mr. Sims was released after a
few hours in jail it *ppoaring that
he had been ariested by mistake.
Messrs. Woods, MoCollum tad Wadv,
were kept at headquarters undie
guard all day ; tut were finally di.-.
charged on their parole, after havi,.g
beent subjected to the aestomed iu.
quisition. Mr. Witliaw Leukie wa
arroted on WodnesdAy of last week
and kept in jail till Saturday when he
was releared on bail. On Thursday
night another raid was made by the
cavalry in the Tijk,y neighborhood,
and the following pestone captured,
J. D. Smart, S. Howell, M. Goz)d,
John Jones, John MuCarloy, J. T.
Love, Lee Gaston, and Amos Soife,
colored. About the ssme time a do.
tachment trom York arrested and oar
ried to the jail at that pl.-st Mr J.
K. Kirkpatrick and his brother John
Kirkpatrick. During the we.-k Mr.
Baxter Crobby Was ariested near
Jandsford and lodged in the jail at
this place,
Mr. J. T. Walker was arrested in
Coluwbi-i on F, iday last, and released
on bail. Oa Tuesday of this week
Mr. T. M. Sandera was a.lowed to give
bail, and was disobarged. All the
rest of the unfortunate prisoners are
still in jail.
It is proper tostate that all the ar
rest4 were made by the military au
thorities without ..apy prtene of
acting as an auxiliary to the United'
States Marshal. There was. neither
Commissioner nor Marshal here. The
arrebts, however, were made on war
rants issued by Commissioner Purteus
when here last December.
These are times when we are all
at the mercy of arbitrary power, and
It. probably, therefore would be wise
for us to speak with bated breath.
That every feeling of our heart is in
deepest sympathy with these unfor.
tunate victims of political persecutloo,
it is hardly necessary for us to say.

Departure of Troops.
Company D. Seventh United States
Cavalry, under the command of Cap.
tain Weir, left this place Tuesday
morning last for Opelika, Alabama.
This reduces the garrison at this post
to one company-Company H. Eigh
teen& Infantry.
We have not heard what the dis
turbancoe in Alabama is but we sop
pose it to be that the people uresliow
ing a dig~ouitio.n not, to swallow Radi
oalisma oheerfully, arnd need a little
dratg.oining to biring them up to the
pro per standard.
Te dep,arture of Tiroop D. was eer
tainsly a so.urco of deep regret to o.ne
class of the cowmmunity. From the
immense concourse of colored damsels
that attended them to the cars, and
from the lachrymose, demonstration at
thme depot, it was not unfamir to ou
clude that the most of the troop had
professed Mormonism wilej serving
on the plains.-Ceeter Rieporler.

Memphis has a romance. Once upon
a tiie, very many years ag, John E.
Perkins was a school boy of eighteen
ina Kentucky. He had a bosom
friend, who, in a fit of passilon, delib.
erately killed another young sm.
Upon Perkins' evidence alooe, the
boy was convicted of mnurder, and
hanged. Stricken with remorse at
having brought about the death of his
friend, Per kfns took a solemn oath that
he would never again testify In a case

Editor Prefs and Banner:
"Y.ur ivaders have at one time
or anither been the annourcement
that the 'Patrons of lusbandry' weia
an orgauization banied together by
mystic ties, for the benefit of all par
ties directly interested in tie causo
uf agiliulture. During a recent viait
to the Uity of Wa,hington, I took oo.
Dastou to iuvctigate this subject care
fully, sind have no hesitation in as
serting that, as organized, it can
but be of inonioulable advantage to
he planting interest of our couutry,
North, 8outh, East and Wesu.
H ving been pioffered a remponsible
position in the Order, I accepted it
soiely upon the gr.iunds that it would
be purely agicultural. Experience
bua proven to us its virtues, and while
I would not adviae an organizttion
(a Grutnge) of this sort in any commu
uity, mupiy upon the ground of
311riubity, I do nut hesitate to advise
)ur plauters and farmners to unite and
form Granges everywhere; I guaran.
teo to thetu that just so soon, if ever,
that I obser% e any politios, sectarian
em, or other demoralizing induence
>btruding itseif into the Order, either
birough the National or any State
Gratige, I will expose the imposition,
nin protect my fellow planters from
injury qr loss.
You will observe, by the enolosed
3onDtitution, that nine persons may
)rganize a Grange Thirty persons is
the maximum number, -ten of whom
maust be females, that may do the
9ame. It is better to have the larger
aumber at first, bekuse the initiation
fee fur mnales in the outset Is only
three dollari, and for females fifty
aunts ; wheises, five dellars for males
and tMo dullare for' fethales Is the
iniiatidn foe to join an organized
Qrange.
I am prepared to discuss the merits
uf this Order before the publie ; and
will cheerfully go to any portion of
Dur county, or indeed of the State,
where as many aq thirty persona de
siring to organize a Gr%nge may wish
to be informed on thesubject. Apart
from the social feature of tihe Order,
our people will be astobished to learn
the practical advanttdge accruing from
it in many of the Northern States,
atpd in more than one of the Southern.
A careful reading of the constitution
will disabuse the mind of the centrali
.ation suggested by tihe name "Na
tional Grange," whence emanate the
controlling laws of the Order ; and
0o1vit.ce every sceptic, who believes
in them thero is btrength, that a Na

succesul w(.rking of the "Patrons of

Cpi8l and Labor.
Henry Ward Beecher replies to
4n enquiry respecting the duty due
to capital and labor, whether or not
they are bound to respect each
other's rights, in the Vew Yoik
Lodger, in the following sensible man
ner:
Men talk of capital and labor as if
they were two ebbeutially different
things. They are in faot essentially
one. If a men builds a factory, puts in
machinery, buys raw material, puts
in wokumen, he is said to have in -
vested his capital. The %holo estoh
lishment, is cepital. If it pays the
whole expense of running, including
materials, wear and tear, and wages,
and then has something over and
above, that surplus is called earnings.
It is regarded as fresh capital.
A day laborer who saves three
Jollars a week is a capitalist. If he
puss his savings itato a horse and dray,
..r into a ohet of tools, or into a can
ly shop, he re-invests ; and his capi.
al is, primarily his own productive
force - that is, himf-elf, and see.
1idarily these new means of carry.
og on business. Every step by
vhioh he -ises from poverty to compe.
.enee is in direction of augmented
sapital.
Every prosperous working nan is
proof to himself that there It no need
of confliot between labor and capi
tal.
Payments to laboring men should
be at short intervals, especially when
men have families dependent upon
them. It is better to pay in money
than goods or orders. The tempt.a.
tion to make double profit. on infuri.
or goo,"s leads selfish men to take ad.
vantage of their "hande." Although
a payment by otdere may secure bet
ter goods sometimes than the men
would buy for cash, yet on the other
hand, it leads to oarelessness and
thiftless management in the family.
It in the !fiterbat of. every employer
that his men should be intflligent,
thrifty, and good maiigears in te
household. t is his interest, eVen if
he works by no higher principle, to
deal justly, promptly, and liberally
with all his workmen.

One of the cockney editors pt t4p
New Yotk Times recently got soub
bing from Mr. Cummings, the manalo
Ing editor of the Sun, whiob is thos
pleasantly decribed by the hum orit
of the Boston Post:
A day or two ago one. of tlhe
Times editors ventured incautiously
into the sanctum of the Sun, enquir6d
fur Mr. Cauimings, the managing edi
tor, and indicated his disapprobation
of a personal article. Upon Mr.
Cammings assum 'ng the responibili
ty for said article, the Times editor
casually remarked that Cummings
was a liar, whereupon, after the re
mark had been repeated, the manag.
ing editor rose and patted him after
the manner of Mace, inducing bih to
repose horizontally for a time, and
cultivating asbay window" on his dam
ask cheek. The Times editor then
Colfaxed hurriedly from the scene,
and took his griavance into the
Courts. This sad event should teach
all young journalists the folly and
wiokedtne,.s of giving rein to the an
gry passions, a moral lesson hitherto
ably enforced by the lamented Dr.

count of the ,peeoh, and on this par

shows how Grant got into and out of

interesting historical faols:
Nye launched into a fulbome eulogy
of Grant as a soldier, and he was par.
ticularly vociferous on Grant and his
campaign fsom the Rujilan to Rich

A Word on Kerosene.
Dr. James R. Nichols, editor or the
Boston Journal of Chemistry, writes
the following on kerosene.
"Kerosene is not explosive ;a light
ed taper may be thrust into it, or a
flame applied to it, with perfect
safuty. Accidents from kerosene oc
cur from two causes ; i,nperfct manu-s
facture and adulteration. Na4zptha is
volatile, ini imumable, and dangerous,
and with impes feat distillation of
kerosene some naptha 'emuains, and
further, un prinoliled dealers add
n sptha to kerosene. But even napthma
is not explosive ; to render it or the
vapor that rises from it ex plosivo it
munat be mixed withs air, and this is
the great secret of the terrible aoe.
oidents now so frequent. A lamp in311
or iser.rly full, is comparatively safe.
In using imnpure oil, above the line
*of oil is inexplosive vapor, (not gma,)
and as long as it is warms and quiet,
no air can reaeh the oil ; but when
the lamp cool', the vapor condenses,
and a vacuum Is formed whiob is in
stantly filled with air and the miixture
Is more or lest explosive. Let
the lamp be suddenly shaken
and an explosion is probable ;
or let an uanreplenished latup be liuht-*
ed and there is similar danger. Cold
air striking a partially fi ted lamp
will condemse the Yspor, air will rush
in aind there will be an explo6ion.
