May 22, 1868. The Bounty Tax. The County Commissioners have laid a tax for the purpose of paying the bounty promised by individuals to the soldiers. This tax will be a little heavier than that assessed for county purposes for the last fiscal year. The reason why the Commissioners laid a tax to raise the bounty money, was simply and purely of an economical nature. Had they borrowed the money, a debt of $25,000.00 would have been created, upon which the people would have been eompelled to pay a yearly interest of $ 1,500.00! And it was deemed loss oppressive for the peo ple to pay $25,000.00 now, than that sum, with $7,500.00 interest added thereto five years after date The Commissioners proceeded upon the principle laid down by that eminent political economist, Dr. Franklin, to wit: "FAY AS YOU GO!" They came to the wise conclusion that what can t>c (lone to-day should not be de ferred till to-morrow. Meanwhile, lie it under stood, that a law passed by the late legislature compels the Commissioners to pay the bounty and that under this law this tax has been levied. We publish the net in another column. The Bedford Tnquirei- of last week, with char acteristic unfairness, uses the following language m regard to the action of the Commissioners: "The Copperhead portion of the Commission ers which constitute the majority seemed very loath to make any provisions to pay those noble patriots who wore willing to sacrifice everything, and had the act been susceptible of a nugatory construction, they would have passed it by with as little indifference as the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania would pronounce upon its uncon stitutionality. When it was satisfactorily as certained thut the law must be carried into ex ecution, by the advice of the Copperhoad fra ternity generally they determined to make it ns OPPRESSIVE, OBNOXIOUS and hurtful as pottdtle, by levying the whole amount of tax to be raised at a single assessment." Now, in order that tbe Inquirer man's mouth may be forever stopped on this subject, we chal lenge him to deny that Mr. Feightner, the "Re publican" member of the board, fully coincided with the Democratic Commissioners in the course of action adopted. He knowß that the conclu sion at which the board arrived was unanimous. He knows that Mr. Feightner was warmly in favor of the policy of levying and collecting the tax immediately. lie raiseß the cry of "oppres sion" only because he tremblos at the prospect of the people realising what the war, as con ducted by bis party friends, is bringing upon the country. He would like to have the evil day put off, so that be can continue to point out the blessings of an Abolition administration. He says further thut the Commissioners were "offered §10,000.00, at interest not exceeding the legal rate," and that "tbey were told that if thsy would accept this proffered loan, the State would step in inside of five years and pay the ( principal and interest." What assurance hud the Commissioners that the State would "step in" and "pay the principal and interest?" None whatever. There are enough counties in the State in which no bounties were offered, to de feat- the passage of any bill having in view this object. Again, the proffered loan would not hare been sufficient, by at least $9,000.00, to pay the bounty. Hence, in order that the sol diers might as soon as possible receive this mon ey, so long promised them, the Commissioners deemed it beat at once to levy a tax for the whole amount thereof. The Inquirer man may feat, and fume and bel low and bawl, but it will not do him or his par ty any good. Hod he nnd they acted honestly with tbe soldiers and with the people, .the boun ty would lev l been paid long ago. For instacoe when the draft WHS made, last Fall, an order was issued by the direction of Governor Curtin, that all persons who would make oath that they | entertain conscientious scruples against arms, should be considered oxempt from milita ry service, but in lieu of such service, should pay a fine to be fixed by the legislature. Well, 115 persons in this county availed themselves of this "conscientious oath," and other men were compelled to step into their places. But when a bill to fix the fine upon these conscien tious exempts and to appropriate the money a rising therefrom to the counties, in order to en able them to pay the bounties promised the vol unteers, was passed by the lower house of the legislature, the Abolition majority in the Senate "killed it," and now we have 115 men, in thjs county, nearly all of them Abolitionists, who were compelled neither to run the chances of the draft, like other men, nor to pay anything for their exemption. If it had not been for the Abolition majority in the Senate, these men would have been fined, as the Constitution re quires them to be, and the money collected from them would have paid the bounties promised the volunteers. But the mean, contemptible trick ery of Abolition demagogues defeated this just and righteous measure, caused the soldiers to wait for their money and now places the burden of the bounty tax upon the people at large. Let I the Abolitionists squirm under tbe goad which their own dishonesty is laying upon their backs. The Case of the "Chicago Times," Dictator Burnside took it into his head, a few 1 days ago, to order the suppression of the Chi- : cago Tunes, the organ of the Democracy of the North West, and during the lifo of Mr. Doug las, the personal exponent of the views of that eminent statesman. VTcll, the order was car ried into effect, the military took possession of the Times office and the publication of the pa per wns stopped at the point of the bayonet. But this was only the beginning of the end. The proprietors of the Times, applied to Judge Drummond, of the I'. S Circuit Court, for an injunction against the proceedings of the mili tary, which was immediately granted. The peo ple assembled in front of the office of the sup pressed journal, to the numbor of about fifteen thousand, passed resolutions denouncing the or der of Burnside and threatened, themselves, to execute the injunction of Judge Drummond. Then the proprietors of the Abolition papers in Chicago began to tremble for the safety of their property. Pale with terror, the stockholders •f the Chicago Tribune and other leading Abo litionists met together, to take counsel for the protection of the office of that paper against the anger of an outraged people. Soon the tele graph apprised the President of their fears, and quick ns the wings of the lightning could bear it, flew the message of the Executive to Burn side, commanding the Western Dictator to re voke his order. And now the Chicago Time* is published as of yore, and the freedom of the press is vindicated and*restored in the great me tropolis of the North West. Hurrah for the people! We are not slaves yet. INCENDIARISM. —SeveraI fires have recently occurred in St. Clair and Napier townships. The saw-mill of Honry Ickes, Esq., of the for mer and the barn of Jeremiah Gordon, of tbo latter, were the buildings burned. Inasmuch as these gentlemen had both been appointed en rolling officers under the Conscription Law, for their respective districts, it is presumed by some porsons that these fires originated at the hands of parties who are determined to resist the ex ecution of that law. Of course, this is only presumption, but if such be the case, the course of those engaged in this burning business, is very ill-advised and very wrong. We have al ways counseled the pursuit of legal remedies for all wrongs, public or private, growing out of the present unhappy war, and we re-iterate our advice to this effect. The Jacobin conspir ators only want an exousc to call upon the mil itary authorities for a force of soldiers to effect the political subjugation of this county. Should imprudent violence be resorted to in opposition to the making of the enrolment, their object will be gained, whilst all will be lost by tbe friends of law and Constitutional liberty. We counsel prudence. Let every anti-conscription ist make up his mind to exhaust all legal and peaceful means to effect his purpose, before be takes or advises any other course of action. But we are not of those who believe that tbe incen diarism in question, was tho especial work of any one opposed to tbe Conscription. Indeed, we more than suspect that the burning of those buildings, was done at the present j uncture, sim ply because tbe malignant rascals who did it, could have a reasonable excuse to blame it up on political opponents. Besides incendiarism is nothing new in this and adjoining counties. We annex a letter from Mr. L A. Turner, former ly of this county, stating that the same kind of work has been going on for some weeks in Som erset county, where be now resides. Mr. Tur ner's letter is as follows: TURNER'S STORE, Somorsct Co., I'a., ) May 26, 1863 J "DEAR SIRS: Better tell your poople in Bedford coun ty to bo on their guard, as our township has been infested with a set of scoundrels who fire woodlands, fences and the like, often very near buildings. On last Friday, Saturday and Sun day, our citizens were under arms, to the num ber of about 100, scouring all the adjacent woods without getting any clue to the scamps. On Sunday night a brush heap, not over 100 yards from my store, was set afire. We stand guard here every night." Yours Truly, L. A. TURNER. sarMr. J. B. Magill has just returned from the Eastern cities, with a large and elegant as sortment of Trunks, Saddles, Bridles, Harness, dec., which be will dispose of cheap for cash. Call and ae* his stock. The Negro Worth More than the White . Man! The Bedford Inquirer, of last week, contains , tho following infamous paragraph: "Another reason is that Negroes are worth ! from five hundred to a thousand dollars a head, j while white men can lie had at thirteen dollars I per month. Tim killing of a. negro is a dead j loss of so much money, while THE LOSS OF I A WHITE MAN IS OF NO CONSE QUENCE!" Comment is unnecessary. MR. ETHERIDGK'S LETTER.—We call attention to the letter of Emerson Etheridge, Clerk of the lower House of Congress, and one of the few Union men, who, with Andrew Johnson and Parson Brownlow, refused to "secede" when their State, Tennessee, fell into the embraces of Secession. It is one of the sharpest, keenest satires that we bare ever read. The vein of irony that runs through k from beginning to end, is irresistible. By pretending to lavish fulsome praise on the Administration, he cuts| it to the quick at every stroke. Read and enjoy CAPT. T. H. LTONS.—We were rejoiced, the other day, to wclcomo home, our old friend Capt. T. H. Lyons, of this place, lately in com mand of a Bedford county company in the 55tl P. V., now in South Carolina. The Captain looks very well and seems to liavo enjoyed tin service. He lias resigned his commission in tin army. May many years of peace reward hits for his services to his country. o*Wo hour that the common talk among tho Abolition "street-passers," is that tho recent burning of barns, &c., is wholly attributable to Democratic spoeches made at recent meetings. Now, tliis may suit tho dastard purposes of these iuvidioais scamps, but then it is not true. No Democratic speaker ever counseled such work, or recommended it by even n hint. On the other hand, those who have addressed Democratic meetings have always advised submission to the laws and the requirement of the execution of the laws. This attempt to make political cap ital out of the late fires, is a trick mean enough to be worthy of Satan himself. Tho Abolition ists are just as much opposed to lieing conscript ed as any body else, and, therefore, have just as stroiag incentives to resist the enrolment as their Democratic neighbors. Your new game won't work, Messrs. Malignants! yThe Democratic Club had a large ami spirited meeting on Saturday night lust. Speech es were made by J. Palmer, W. Lyon and B. T. Meyers, Esq's.—A large meeting of Demo crats was also held on Saturday last, at Stude bakcr's School-house, in Napier township. Ad dresses were delivered by 0. E. Shannon and \V. M. Hall, Esq's. On Friday evening last, the Democratic Club of the "Upper End" of Cumberland Valley, met at Hunt's School Housn. Messrs. Meyers and Hall addressed the Club. WTke York Gazette, of a late date, brings .put the name of Gen. William B. Franklin, in connection with tho Democratic nomination for Governor. Gen. Franklin played a conspicu ous and important part in many of the battles of the present war, and fell a victim to the pre scriptive spirit of Abolitionism. WGen. Burnside, in a recent order, depre cates and condemns the forming of secret soci eties in the States of Indiana and Ohio. If Gen. Burnsides' headquarters were in Bedford, it would be necessary for him to issue a special order on the subject and probably to send a file of soldiers, some night, to West Pitt street. ®-We would call attention to the advertise ment of our young friend, Mr. W. L. Lentz, of Bloody Run, in this county. Mr. Lentz is in the saddlery line, in which business he is well versed. We know him to be a first rate work man. 07~E. M. Fisher and "Little John C." bavo just received a fresh supply of goods in their line. Call and see the stock. It is very fine. * * HEAD QUARTERS., CAMP Mat. VINE, ) 2d Reg't, Md. Vol., Juno 6, 1863. j MR. EDITOR: Whilst on furlough at yoar place, a few days ago, we were arrested and put under guard by a Lieutenant of tho 138 th P. V. We had lost our furlough, but there were a number of persons in Bedford who had seen it and were willing to swear that our presence thero was au • thoriaed by our proper commanding officer. Be sides we had publicly announced that wo intend ed to start for our regiment the next day, but still wero arrested as deserters. Notwithstand ing our arrest, we did start for our camp, as wo had said we would, and are here now safe from the insults of drunken Lieutenants, We say di-unkenllieutenant,t t, because the officer that ar rested us was undor the influence of liquor ono 1 half his tirao whilst in Bedford. Besides wc have just heard, on good authority, that he was ' denounced, to his face, by a citizen, as a "liar, a poltroon anil a coward," and that he took it all like a lamb. The only reason, we think, why wo wero arrested was because we wore Democratic budges, which did not at all suit the political complexion of the gallant Lieutenant.

CIUSSMAN.—At his residence in Stoncrs town, on Monday, June the Ist, 1863, Joseph Crissmau, nged 47 years, 6 months and 11 days. Life is uncertain, but death is certain. Only a few days ago, the deceased was here with us, but now, alas! he is gone, gone to that world from whence no traveler has ever returned. Ilis Heavenly Father saw tit to call him away and to cause the tear of sorrow to fall from the eyeß of an affectionate wife and a loving daughter. He ha 9 left them to travel through life's weari some journey alone. The deceased has been a resident of Stonerstown for twenty years, and has always been looked up to as a man of re fined talents and good judgment, and would not swerve from the path of truth and honesty un der any circumstances. This is a source of great pleasure to his friends, to know that his watchword was truth and his life was the life of a good citizen; one whose place in sotjjety will be vacant. But let us say like one of old, "The Lord gave and the Lord has tukon away; blessed bo the name of the Lord." J. K. L. McCANLES.—Departed this life, in Phila delphia, on Wednesday, the 27tli of May last, Capt. John McCanles. His numerous friends have been overwhelmed with griof at this sad intelligence. No where has his death been so sadly mourned as in Bedford county. A strik ing peculiarity about Capt. McCanles was, that wherever he went he left visible foot-prints of kindness, charity and benovolence behind him. Wherever ho had visited, ho was a welcome vis itor, and his return was looked for with anxie ty. No man in Pennsylvania had such troops of friends. And the triondship of the people for Capt. McCanles was not of a selfish or mer cenary character. But it was the strong, noble and spontaneous out-gushing of the heart, for an honest, kind and generous man. Capt. McCanles, whilo living, was not only noted for his goodness of heart, but he was ev ery where admired for his enterprise and liber ality in promoting the great industrial interests of his native Stato. The people of Bedford, Fulton and Hunting don counties, owe him a mountain of gratitude. He was the pioneer in the great work of build ing the Broad Top Kail Road. His means were alt given for the completion of that project. We aro free to say that if Capt. McCanles had not lived in 1858, '54 and '55, the Broad Top enterprise would have died for want of nour ishment. A monument should bo erected at Broad Top city to commemorate his name, his virtues and his liberality. It is true, ho is dead—we shall see him no more—but so long as memory servos us, we shall not be unmindful of his noble character. God bless him. S. REBELLION AGAINST JIIGU PRICES!
