JACOB REED, Chairman.
HON. WILSON REILLY.
We publish in this issue the proceedings of
the Democratic Congressional Conference for
this district, which met, at Chambersburg, on
Thursday the 2d. inst. It will be seen that
Hon. VV ilson Reilly was re-nominated by j
acclamation. That he will be re-elected, no one '
doubts who is acquainted with the! intelligence j
of the people before whom he is a candidate.— {
He is popular in his own county, he is popu
lar wherever his eloquent voice has been heard
and his genial nature has shed its kindly influ
ences. On the oth°r hand, his compelitor has
many bitter opponents in the ranks of his own
party; he is decidedly unpopular at home; makes
no friends when Ire goes abroad ; is a man of
very ordinary is anything but an ora
tor ; in short, is a man that cannot, will not
and ought not be elected to the high ami re
sponsible office of representative in Congress.—
We raise Mr. Reilly's name to our mast, con
fident that on the second Ttiesday. of October
next, he will be returned to Congress by a
larger majority than he received in 1856.
A QUESTION FOR MR. McIMIERSON.
The Abolition candidate for Congress in this
district, is trying to drag the Lecompton ques
tion inio the canvass and solicits the votes of
Anti-Lecornpfon Democratson the ground that
he is opposed to the National Administration.
Will Mr. Mcpherson, in connexion with his
disquisitions on Lecompton, be kind enough to j
inform us whether he would prefer Docclas i
to LixcqLN as Senator from Illinois. This has
just as much to do with Pennsylvania politics
as the Lecompton question. Let there be no
dodging, Mu. McriiEßsox !
G2r"The traitor, Forney, lately addressed a
meeting at Tarry town, New York, in which
he toadied his old enemies and reviled his for
mer friends. A certain Major Andre was,
once upon a time, captured near this same
Tar.-ytow n and through iiis capture the w hole
infernal plot of Arnold's treason was laid bare.
We have no doubt that if Mr. Forney had been
Marched, when making his speech at this place,
Tarry town would have been the scene of anoth
er revelation of a traitor's conspiracy. There
is no doubt that Forney's boots, like those of
Andre, would contain more than a pairol feet, if
he were compelled more closely to hide the arti
cles of agreement between himself and bis Black
Republican masters.
Abolition organ places the an
nouncement of Mr. Castnlr in the midst of a
lot of unimportant advertisements, so as to
make it as obscure o possible. Is it afraid to
let its paity know that he i a candidate ?
Qjr*The request of "A Lady Friend" will
he attended to w itli much pleasure in our next.
Too much crowded this week.
WHERE IS TIIE COUNTY'S MONEY?
The Abolition clique still keep op their
hypocritical whining about the expenses of the
county. We had thought that after the ex
position of their trickery which we made in
the Gazette of week before last, they would hard
ly have the haidihood to re-assert their explo
ded falsehoods. It seems, however, that they
acton the principle that "a lie well stuck to is
as good as the truth," and, therefore, are Je
ter mined to persist in their endeavors to fois>!
their fabrications upon the public.
Now, we have examined the records in the
Treasurer's and Commissioners' offices, and find
that when MR. JOHN TAYLOR'S (Abolitionist)
term of office as County Treasurer expired, the
County was indebted to the State in the sum
of sl4-90.87. At the end of DAVID OVER'S
(Abolitionist) term i n _ (he same office, there was
due from to the State, the sum of $3185.97
of Which the Commissioners paid §2375.72,
(out of the §5600.00 borrowed by them last
spring) and the remainder of which, §810.2.>,
: MAJOR DAVIS, the present Treasurer, paid for
the same said Over, out of the same said fund
of §5000.00 borrowed money. Here then we
see that under the three years' management of
the Treasury by this Abolition bungler, the
indebtedness of our county to the State actually
more than doubled itself!
Again, when this fellow, Over, went out of
office, there were unpaid orders on the Treasu
ry which had been granted during his term, to
the amount of $1315.00. Add this to the sum
of his indebtedness to the State, and it makes
the debt of the County at the time he evacuated
the office, five thousand and one dollars (SSOOI.
00) ! Hence it will be seen that every cent of
the money borrowed by the Commissioners last
spring, was required to satisfy the demands
upon the Trea.-urv which Mr. Over failed to
meet. The question, also, very naturally arises,
here, what became of the County's money, if
David Over, as Treasurer, owed more than
$5000.00 when his term of office expired ?
MORE ABOLT THE COf.\TY DEBT.
We have already shown that when the late
Abolition Treasurer went out of office he left
the County in debt to the Slate about $3200.-
00 and failed to pay some SIBOO.OO dollars
worth of orders drawn upon him by the Com
missioners. This he will doubtless try to
account for, by endeavoring to show that the
Collectors for the different townships and
boroughs did not pay him over the amount of
their duplicates. It w ill not do for him to put
in this plea, for several good and substantial
reasons. In the first place, the duplicates issued
during his term of office, with the exception of
those of 1857, and a few of 1856, have all
been settled up and Ijie money collected on
them has passed through his hands. Again,
the Collectors that owe the largest sums, on
their duplicates, with but few exceptions, be
long to his party. For instance the Collector
for Hopewell township, for 1856, owes $286.
65, slate and county tax, whilst be has not paid
over a cent ot his militia fines which amount
to $39.50. He is an abolitionist. TheCoilec
tor for Bedford Rorough, for 1857, owes SB3B.
90. He is an Abolitionist. The Collector tor
Bedford township, for 1857, owes $653.67.
He is an Abolitionist, The Collector for Cole
rain, for 1857, owes $465.56. He is an Aboli
tionist. The Collector for St. Clair, for 1857,
owes $1298.19. He is an Abolitionist. Sum
this up and we find that the nice little pile ot
$3582.47 of the County's money is now in the
hands ot these Abolition Collectors. If the
clique tbat make such a tremendous ado a
boul the indebtedness of the count v, would
really like to see some of that indebtedness
cancelled, they can have their desir-s accom
plished much sootier by making these defaul
ting partisans of theirs square up their duplicates,
than by writing nonsensical, pointless editori
als on the subject. Go to work, Messrs. Dema
gogues, and dun your fellow Abolitionists for
the money they owe the county —make them
disgorge it—and after you shall have succeeded
in this mission, then proceed with your croak
ing in regard to the debt of the county, but
until then, for shame's sake, hold your peace.
THE "SCOTCH PIPE" ROORBACK.
The Opposition to the Democratic party, hav
ing no principles and despairing of being able
to make an issue on which they can ride into
office, have invented, in iieu of a platform, any
quantity of falsehoods wherewith, if possible,
to injure the prospects of the Democracy.—
One of the boldest, as well as the most insidious,
is thai concerning the purchase of the pipe for
the Washington City Aqueduct, in which it is
alleged that Government bought the said pipe
from manufacturers in Scotland. The follow
ing, from the Hul/idoysburg Standard, shows
the whole thing to be a fabrication :
"We have noticed a Munchausen story trav
elling around in the papers, concerning our gov
ernment making a contract tor crater pipes to
be brought from Scotland. It is- a finely gotten
up story, and did it not lack that one qualifica
tion, iruih, it might be told with a great deal of
effect. The facts areas follows:—Government
required pipes tor the Washington aqueduct.—
An advertisement was made ol lhe contract of
fering it to bidders. J no. Lawrence Myers, an
iron founder in Philadelphia, put in the best
bid and received the contract, agrt-eiug to fur
nish the pipes bv October Ist. Upon JllO. My
ers giving security, his received, and
tlie whole atlair was taken out of the hands of
government and its offio rs. Mr. Myers, eve be
lieve, did make a contract with some Scotch
house to supply part ol the pipes; but only be
cause it was necessary to enable him to fulfil
his contract; and upon these the United States
will be as much of a gainer as the duty amounts
to.
As to the Government making any contract
with i Scotch company, it is simply false.—
Whatever Mr. Myers does is another matter.

On motion 0. E. Shannon, Esq., then addres
sed the meeting. His speech abounded in vig
orous arguments and strong hits at the absurdi
ties of Opposition theories and platlorms. He
was frequently interrupted by the cheers of his
audience. After Mr. Shannon had concluded,
Hon. John Cessna was called upon, who re
marked that he thought it was in order to sign
the Constitution before any more speechifying
should be done, whereupon a large number of'
names were appended to that instrument. Af
ter passing a resolution to meet EVERT SATUR
DAY EVENING until the 9th of October next, the
meeting adjourned.
Tfiis, the first meeting of the Buchanan Club,
for the present campaign, was as large as any
we remember to have been held last Fall. It
was not only large, but full of enthusiasm and
good feeling. The members of the Buchanan
Club will do their duty at the coming election.

MESSRS. EDITORS:—A Sabbath School Cele
bration was tie Id at this place a few days since,
which came off very pleasantly.
The School assembled in the Lutheran Church
at an eariy hour in the morning, where it was
lormt'd into procession by ttie officers and
teachers, and marched a little distance from the
Church to a beautiful grove on ttie bank of the
Raystown Branch, which place had been pre
viously arranged for its reception. The appear
ance of the procession was really interesting.
On reaching the place we enjoyed ourselves
in various amusements, until about half past
eleven o'clock, when the tables were spread
with the luxuries which had been prepared by
the ladies. The Teachers, with their Scholars,
! were decently and orderly aranged at the table,
I a blessing was then asked by the Rev. Mr.
Lawrence, after which they all partook freely
of the bounties prepared for the occasi >n. After
they had finished, all others present were tof-
J dial I y invited to tfie table, which still contained
a sufficient quantity of edibles of different kinds
to suit their wants.
Dinner being over, the afternoon was spent
in singing and innocent recreation. All was
harmony and peace, and each tried to adminis
ter to the wants of (he other.
At about four P. M.,the participants were all
called together by the Rev. Air. Lawrence,
who gave us a short lecture on our duty fo
rward our Maker while young, after which a
prayer was offered up by the same, when we
; were dismissed and soon found our way
homeward. lam happy to sav that it was one
of the most pleasant days that I ever spent.—
Sabbath school celebrations are certainly a
source of encouragement to the young and ri
sing generation and therefore should be patron
ised by ail both old and young.

The Bedford County Democracy.
It was our pleasure lu attend a meeting of the
sterling Democracy of this, our native county,
'on Monday evening last. It was largely atten
! d*-d and animated by a spirit of enthusiasm
: which astonished us. The old veterans of the
; party in Bedford County were present, and a
j mong them there appeared to be the most per
j feet good feeling and unanimity. The meet
: iug was presided over with great dignity and
! appropriateness bv our fiend, MAJ. JAMES PAT
j TON, of Pattonsville, assisted by a host of V'ice
i Presidents and Secretaries. Altera fewappro
i priate introductory remarks by MAJ. S. 11. TATE,
;!he HON. VV IL-ON REII.I.Y was called upon to
! address the meeting, and made his appearance
;in ttie midst of a storm of applause, tie enter
|ed upon tfie discussion of the vaiious political
j questions that now agitate ihe country, and
j gave a full and free exposition of his opinions
' and sentiments. We shall not attempt a des
; cription of Ibis - the greatest speech we ever
j heard the eloquent gentleman deliver. It was
| listened to throughout with attention and re
! ceived with tremendous shouts of applause.
i When Mr. Iiilly took his seat, after speaking
an hour, the meeting rose and gave hirn three
tremendous cheers. Old Bedlord County is all
right!
Mr. Reffly was followed by our friend, Dr.
G. H. KKYSER, of Pittsburg, in a speech of great
power. The Doctor has a peculiar way of sav
ing things that makes a great impression upon
his audience. On this occasion tie was partic
ularly happy in his remai ks ar.d "brought (town
the bouseV with tremendous force. He made
an excellent speech and it was most cordially
received by his old neighbors and friends. The
Doctor may well be proud ot his numerous
| friends in Bedford County.
The resolutions adopted by the meeting which
we shall lay befoie our readers next week,
were excellent not only well written but
I pointed and apposite.— Button Democrat.
THE ATLANTIC CABLE. —The following Bl ief
but comprehensive description of the Submarine
Cable, will be read v\ jth interest at this time :
The central conducting wire is a struri'l
made up of seven u ires of the purest copper,
of theguage known in the trade as No. 22.
The strand itseli is about tlip sixteenth of an
inch in diameter, and is formed of one v
formed wire, with six others twisted around it ;
this is accomplished by the central wire being
dragged from a diuin, through a hole in a hori
zontal table, while the table itself revolves ra
pidly under the impulse of steam, carrying near
its circumference six reels or drums, each
armed with copper i;e. Every drum levolves
upon its own horizontal axis, and so delivers its
wire as it tutus. I'lie twisted form of conduc
ting w ire was fust adopted for the rope laid a
cross the St. Lawn rice in 1856, and was em
ployed with a view to the reduction to the
lowest possible amount of the 1 liance of Continu
ity being destroyed in the; circuit, ft is im
probable in the highest -degree that fracture
could accidentally be produced at precisely the
same spot in more than one of the wires of this
twisted strand. All the seven wires might be
broken at diffe rent parts of the strand, even some
hundred of times, and yet its capacity for the
transmission of the electric current not be de
stroyed or reduced in any inconvenient degree.
The copper used in the formation of these wires
is assayed from time to time during the manufac
ture, to insure absolute liornogenily and purity.
The strand itself, when subjected to strain, will
stretch twenty per cent of its length without
giving way, and. indeed, without having its
elecUic-conducting power much modified or
impaired.
ITT" The Rev. R. F. Sample will preach the
first sermon in course, before the "Young Men's
Christian Association" on Sabbath Evening
next {(lie I2lh)in the Lutheran Church. The
public are respectfully invited to attend. The
other churches in town will be closed on that
evening.

A Darin? Exploit With a Bear.
At Woodland Ulster,county, N. Y.,on Sun
i day,as two brothers, John arid Mat Schoonmager,
were standing up at the Muddy Bush Kill with
|no weapons but their pocket-knives and no
companion but their two dogs—one fox hound,
the other a water spaniel—they stopped a while
to fish ; but they had only caught a few speck
lers, when the}' were staitied to hear the hound
utter the well known cry of his species upon
scenting game.
One of the men immediately put chase after
the dog; on reaching the spot on ttie bank of
the stream where the dog first found the trail,
he was not a little surprised to discover the foot
prints of a large bear on a hemlock tog, where
he had landed from his morning bath.
The bear had retreated some twenty rods
from the stream to a cover ; and there the dogs
caine upon him.
It was but tiie work of a moment to acquaint
the other man of the state of tin case, wliere
upon, giving his fishing pole a toss into the
stream, he ran tip with 'he other dog.
Then a regular rough and tumble fight endu
ed, during Which part of the time the bear had
the upper hand, and part the men and dogs ; Tut
a lucky moment the spaniel got the beai fast by
the hind leg, and then, as he turned over to
give him—the dog—his quietus, the hound
seized the opportunity and the bear, too, bv
the under jaw and so the two pinned him to
the ground, when John thrust a heavy slake
into his mouth, and placing his knee on the
bear's head, proceeded with but a sorry speci
men of a jack-knife to perform the operation of
tracheotomy upon Bruin's throat, and killed
him.
They swung him across a pole and carried
him between them to the nearest settlement.
Snyder's tannery, two miles distant.
It proved to he a genuine black bear. One
of the red-nosed and most savage kind, and
weighed, when dressed, some 300 pounds.
TRIZUTE OF RESPECT.
At a meeting of the Independent BIUPS of
Bloody Run, the following resolutions were u
j nanimously adopted:
Whereas it has pleased Almighty God, in the
dispensation of his Providence, to lake from our
midst our esteemed brother in Arms, Hirrias O'-
Neal, Therefore be it resolved , that whilst we
humbly bow to the will of Him in whose hands
: all our destinies are, we at the same limedeep
' ly mourn the loss of him, who bv the ruthless
i hand of death, has been taken from us, one who
\by his moral life and unexceptionable detri
ment had eudcared himself to al! who knew
I him.
! Resolved, That in the death of Ilimas O'Neal,
\ his wife and children have lost a true Husband
i and Father, our community a valuable citizen,
and the Company of which we are members, a
j brave and noble soldier.
Resolved, That we as a Company do most
sincerely sympathise with his family and friends
|in their sad bereavement; yet we are consoled
with the belief that the one they now mourn is
resting in the embrace of Him " who hath said,
| -lam the resurrection and-the life; he that
I believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall
he Jive."
Resolved, That the officers and members of
this Company wear the usual badge of mourn
ing for thirty days, and that a copy of these
resolutions, be forwarded to the family of the
deceased, arid the same be published in the Bed
ford Gazette and Bedford Inquirer.
