The proceeding of the Washington
county Republican Convention, liolil
on Monday, have not yet come to hand,
Lut that (jo. V. Iuwrence will ho
thoir choice for Congress is without
doubt. Lawrence county has put for

Michael Weyaiul, Esq., nnd (ireeno
Capt. J. 13. Donley. Thesa nre tho
men ami now who shall he cIms.mi?
Lawrence county present a man
who wad oneo defeated foV tho oflieo
he aspires to, lie was defeated, Nor
"by slaughter in the house of hi
friends," but by his own apathy, hi
refusal to become acquainted with the
people. What chance is there that he
will uo Hotter H nominateil again :
The fight will bo severe and it want
an active man. That county with its
fifteen hundred or two thousand Re
publican majority has a representation
in the Stato Legislature favorable to
its interests and from that causo a
prosperity has been attained second to
none in tne uistnet. it nas railroads.
aianufactorics, a thickly settled and
wealthy populace. Could they not be
induced to yield tothe interests of their
co-laborers in National politics, who
are always fighting an enemy en
trenched behind a Democratic majori
ty of overpowering strength ? It would
be charity to give us a chance one time
even if we fail.
Beaver county well known as the
homo of State Treasurer Irwin, of Cul
bertson, of Sankey, of Robinson, and
of a host of others familiar as Govern
ment, State and District officers, with
a coolness refreshing in Juno, says she
is not yet tired of absorbing tho pa
tronage of the public. Ilcr wealth ami
improvements arc eminent witnesses to
the goodly share of spoil that has fal
len to her lot. If office-holding to
Beaver Republicans is the sweetest
boon vouchsafed to man, then arc they
the happiest of mortals. They should
now accept contentment.
Of Washington county, and the
claims of her candidate it is hardly ne
cessary to speak. Mr. Iiawrcncc has
represented her and tho District four
years in succession, and on nil ques
tions of polity acted and voted con
sistent with the views of his constitu
ents. Thus far his career has been
brilliant, winning for him the plaudit,
'wcll done good and faithful servant."
It is now hoped that ho will "enter
into tho joys" of his domestic rela
tions and thus escape the "privations
of public life." Washington should
throw its influence with those who
helped her in time of need, and be satis
fied with her offices and distinguished
position among the Western counties.
Really, she has no favors to ask.
Greene county, at desperate odds,
standing isolated and alone without
the circle that joins the sister counties
of the District, now hails them for ad
mittance. She is clamorous for recog
nition. With a spirit of magnanimity
unprecedented, her faithful few have
borne the brant of hard fought fields,
content that they were won and mur
muring not because she reaped no re
ward. They are strangers to the food
that Caesar fattens on. Abjectly ground
down by the iron heel of Democracy,
they have been left to their fate except
when called to do s master's bidding.
It is natural that tho yoke should gall.
When the District Conferees meet we
ask them to nominate Capt J. B. Don
ley for Congress, and if the rest of the
District do as well as in days gone ky
we will voUch for his election. We
ask this la the nan of ths Soldiers
of oar county of which he is fair and
distinguished representative; because
of his unflinching integrity as an ex
ponent of republican principles; be
cause of his ability and the energy snd
thoroughness with which he would
prosecute the canvass. We ask it for
the reason that our county expects and
is entitled to the honor, that she is de
sirous of lifting herself to a deserved
place beside her sister counties in re
gard to wealth and internal Improve
ments. It is not necessary to men
tion all the considerations that makes
it the duty of the Conferees to take
this action, but in conclusion let us
ask it for the promotion of harmo
ny and good feeling. We are jus
tified in predicting a bad state of affairs
if the decision should be against us,
and in the name of Heaven is thcro
any one that can accuse the Republi
cans of Greene of selfishness?
WON'T WOM.
Our "haudsome" neighbor last week
tried to pet un a "sensation" in his
favor among the "laboring men," by
representing himself as a martyr to the
Ureennack cause, lie pretenus some
of his Bonded friends have "gone back
on him" and that ho "don't care a
darn," that ho goes in for "equal
taxation," (which must not be con
strued to mean "equal right," for
that would include tho "nigger.") He
is especially denunciatory of tho "purse
proud hond-holders," and calls on all
such in his flock to leave "the sooner
tho quicker." IIo knows who he is
talking to, however, mid will not in
jure his patronage much if he should
read them out. Greene county IVm
ocrots don't hold many bonds. Tho
git of his whole article is contained
in this simple paragraph near the
clone, intended to catch the eyo of the
weak-kneed snd malcontent in the
Republican rank: "For every such
voter a we loso from our ranks
we will gain score from tho honest,
truo-hcirted men of tho opposition I"
There, ain't that nice? How respect
ful! 'Honest, true-hearted I"
"Wiin'l you walk lulu my jxtlir," l.
To lo sure a nun must be igno
rant to be caught by such a bait, but
the glittering promise at l "soft saw
der'1 goo a long way with some people.
If the honst, hardworking nun will
take thoiiiilit mid ak how it came
about that tho nation was plunged in
debt and drenched in blood, and how
! manv
different schemes have beeu
resorted to by such men as our neighbor
to deotrov tho credit and ruin tho
, 1 commercial interests of tho country,
how we are indebted to the Demo
cratic party for each and every national
calamity of the last twenty years, he
will certainly hesitate before he takes
the step. With the record of the Dem
ocratic and Republican party before
him, no patriot, no lover of right and
hater of wrong, no advocate of ad
advancement and despiser of fogyism,
can give the former tho prcedencO.
But, this is all for nought, our oppo
nents are welcome to the comfort they
derive from accessions to their party
in this locality from our ranks. They
wouldn't bait a bear trap. Whereas,
the sturdy War Democracy, fond of i
their party name and its memories in the
.lays of Jackson and Jefferson, will
flock to the standard as they did in '61,
and aid us by voting for Grant, to
wine out the traitorous clement that
misrepresents the namo of Democ
racy. '

Tho House on last Tuesday week
passed a resolution voting 20 per cent,
additional to salaried official's of a cer
tain grade employed at the Capitol,
by a vote of 71 to 58. A sura ex
ceeding two millions would thus have
been added to the public expenses,
Our leading papers appealed to the
Republican members to vote it down;
Democratic papers said not a word, but
aU but two of their members voted for
the refiohtiion in direct opposition to
their boasted determination of reduc
ing the 'public burden. Tho whole
thing could then have been laid at

We call the attention of oar con
servative soldiers, who talk of sending
delegates to the Democratic Conven
tion at New York, to the proceedings
of the Democratic Convention in Al
abama. The Alabama Democrats
elected delegates to New York Con
vention, and then"OnJrt!( the thank of
the Southern people to Jeff. Davit for
the unflinching courage andunturpuiied
ability with which he acquitted hinuelf
of hit official oath to defend tht Comti-
tution, and paying to him the retpect of
the Convention at a patriot and incor
ruptible man." The Franklin llepot-
itory truthfully remarks, these men
are conservative Demooratio soldiers,
and represent the National Democracy.
They will meet the delegates from
Pennsylvania to nominate a candidate
for the Presidency ; and as Jeff Davis'
manner of savinir the country and
defending the Constitution suits them
they will strive to nominate a man of
his views. If they do tho Pennsylva
nia Democracy who "respect Jeff
Davis as a patriot and incorruptible
man," but who were too cowardly to
fight for his patriotism, will be found
working with the Alabama Democrats
for the success of a ticket for which
they did fight, until they had well
nigh drowned the laud in sorrow and
in blood. How do you like the com

Republican Party nt Chicago, and

astic nomination of wrant nml the
oiiutillv enthusiastic endorsement of
Colfax, 1 have seen no cause to doubt
tho success of our ticket in tho coming
ciiniuigii. i on nro aware, perhaps,
that Indiana is considered a doubtful
State; but tho fact that our forces are
awake to the danger, and are preparing
for a vigorous contest, will serve to
assure vou that we mean to bo victo
rious.
It is now believed that if the Dem
ocrats nominate nn eastern man for
President, Senator Hendricks will bo
put on the ticket with him for Vice
President. In that case, as Hendricks
is now the JJcmocratia camluiute lor
Governor of this State, that party will
make a new nomination. The indi
cations point to Joe. McDonald as the
most, if not tho only, avnilnble man ;
the same individual, you will remem
ber, who was so ignoiniiiously slaugh
tered by Governor Morton. If this
occurs it will be to the ndvantage of
the Democracy, ns McDonald, despite
his former fuilures, is a more formida
ble opponent than Hendricks. In
cither case, however, tho Republicans
of Indiana arc determined to do their
duty, ns they have heretofore done,
and defeat their opposition.

radical, and this is one of tho most
radical conitressional districts ; now

Mr. Orth is one of those rare public
men, against whose integrity, both as
a man and a politician, no suspicion
can be raised. Every speech he has
uttered and every voto he has cast
have been in the interest of his country.
He has been a thorough, consistent,
unflinching radical, faithfully repre
senting his constituency and holding a
nigiiiy Honorable and creditable posi
tion among his fellow-mcnbcrs. While
ho was at his post of duty, during the
boisterous time of impeachment, a
movement nt homo was organized
against him similar to that which he
so signally defeated at his last election.
After a brief and sharp campaign he
has come out the victor more signally
than before, and is now our candidate
for the next Congress. Standing as he
docs, on his radical record this his
fourth successive nomination will serve
to give you some slight idea of the
political complexion of this district

From the testimony taken from tne
Legislative Record, Session of 1868,
it appears that a railroad sixteen miles
Ion" was being built during tho sum
mer' and fall of 1807, in Clearfield
and Center counties, that but a few
rods only of this road was in Center
county ; about tour hundred irisnmen

were employed on the road ami uonnicu

Senator was to bo elected in the Center
District, but none in the Clearfield.
Center county is a Republican county,
but in order to elect a Copperhead
mid defeat the will of the people,
Senator Wallace Chairman of tho
Democratic State Central Committee,
mid the leaders of the party in Center
county, combined with a Roman Cath

Irish Catholics transferred from their

had from ten to twenty men under me
attunes; Patrick Gorman was walking
boss; I was working lour miles lrom
Clearfield, east, twelve miles from the
line, when James Collins and Patrick
Gorman came to mo and said they
wanted to go to Centre county for ten
days, saying their object was to carry
the election; they said it was a Repub
lican hole, and they intended running
in enough votes to carry it; I took the
men to Centre county; Lol. bkclly s
gang also went, all that were at work
then; in and around Phillipsburg
there were about ono hundred men the
day of election; they were quartered
at Mr. Keplar's, Mr. Gray's, Mr.
Harris's, and Mr. Ponohue's; I was in
Phillipsburg all day, most of the time
at the polls; the polls nro in tho same
building. I gave two men Democrat
ic tickets; Sheriff Perks and Mr.
Lcdo distributed tickets; Lcde was a
walking boss on tho road,' I saw them
giving tho men tickets; Sheriff Perks
borrowed a sheet of ticket from 1112 to
have others printed; the tickets were
all Democratic; about all that were on
tho ground voted; all had naturaliza
tion papers; obtained them, as wc said
in Luzerne county; this 0110 on the
table is similar to those used; they
wcro colored; tho men said they ob
tained or nrranged for the papers two
miles out of Clearfield, on Saturday
evening before the election, in a shan
ty kept by Mrs. Lynch; they said two
lawyers came from Philadelphia, nnd
after they were sworn, Lede took pos
session of the papers, and that lie col
ored them with colfee; the day of
election they were handed tho papers;
Mr. Lcdc at the same time furnished
the tax receipt a receipt shown wit
ness, and identified as similar to those
used; I did nothing while in Phil
lipsburg; I did not vote; I saw oil
voto that I named; I had no Repub
lican tickets.
Cross-examination I never agreed
to vote my men on tho Republican
side ; never said for $100 I would do
so ; I received money the day before
and day after, of Mr. Crisman $25, of
Mr. Johnson, dny after, fcOO, ot sher
iff Perks 912 ; I received of Rev.
Father Tracy ?500.
The $500 was given me two weeks
ago last Tuesday to prevent my being
a witness. The priest canio and
told me that my evidence would be
hard against the Democratic party;
and that he had $200 he would give
me if I would leave
I told the priest that I would take my
family and go lor $2,000 ; Father Tra
cy told mo Tie would let me know in a
few days, and when we next met the
priest told mo that ho had written for
advice, and that Wallaco thought that
$100 per month was enough ; I sup
posed that it was Wallace, the Clear
field lawyer; I told the priest I would
take $500. The men vo
ted in borough and township ; Michael
Fallon and ono other were in the
country but a short time; tho men
told me that Lede took the lawyers to
Tyrone; the men went back to Clear
field county, after the election, where
they lived in shanties : but fifty pr
sixty rods of the road is in Center
county ; all the voters were challenged
at tne pons.
John Casey sworn -I -was" working
on the railroad for Mr. Collins at the
(1867) election ; was boarding in Phil
lipsburgh, when I voted with the other
men. Mr. Iedo took me to -vote and
gave me naturalization papers, and put
it in ; cannot read ; am as ignorant as a
baste ; I put the paper iu my pocket,
cannot tell what became of it, I was
never naturalized, never was in a court
before this; Lede told mo to vote; I
was working near Mr. Collin's store;
came tho day that O'Meara did to

Young has five thousand men ntwork

will carry along with it an immense
train of passengers and freight, now
awaiting that happy event. Contrary

per cent, of their whole vote, and the
Republicans 75 percent, less of theirs."

Three or four "conservative" sol
diers and sailors held a mass meeting
last night at the St. Charles Hotel.
They were so ashamed of the meagre
attendance that they adjourned to an
eight by ten room up stairs, and after
carefully excluding the reporters pass
ed a long string of resolutions, and got
up a list of delegates which will ap
pear in the "conservative" papers
hereafter. Industrious inquiries tail
ed to secure the names of any known
soldier present, and we are inclined to
think the meeting a myth ; but for all
that the proceedings will appear duly
"cooked up."
