A E&mpaiit Triumvirate.
The leading abolition journals of the State, !
are wonderfully exorcised concerning an edito
rial which appeared in our paper of May 20,
on the subject of the Federal losses in the pres
ent campaign against Richmond. The Pitts
burg Gazette, the Harrisburg Telegraph and the
I 'ranklhi repository, yelp in chorus at the state
ment of truth made in that article. Their ed
itors feel most keenly their disgrace in being un- i
masked at their game of practising upon the
credulity of the people. It was their darling, i
cherished purpose to deceive the public as to the
management and progress of the war, and they
fondly hoped that their oracular outgivings in
regard to all matters connected with the army,
would be gulped down by every body, without
even an effort in the deglutition. But our ar
ticle exposed their trick and hence the pitbous
tilulations of the sneaking pack, the "Trav,
Blanche and Sweetheart" of Pennsylvania Ab
olition journalism. We can afford, however,
to lei them bark and snarl, for wo need only to
refer the public to the telegrams published in
the columns of these very papers for verification
of the statements made in our article. In fact,
we never gave any opinion in regard to the los
ses of Grant and Butler's armies, but in the
paragraph which these, papers copy from our
article, we expressly stated that the number at
which we placed tiie killed, wounded and miss
ing, was estimated ''according to telegraphic. re
ports." Therefore, if we have erred, they have
misled us by publishing false despatches. I fence,
they must prove that the telegrams given to the
public in their own columns, we're untrue, be
fore they can justly assail us for ranking the
statements of which they complain. But they
know that they are doing wrong, nay, that they
are guilty of a monstrous crime, in trying to
bide from the people the real extent of the car
nage, horror and misery attendant upon there
cent battles. Their object is to keep the blood
of the >iorth at fever heat, so that they may
still further deplete the veins and pockets of that
tortured embodiment of the Government. Kan
grado-like, thc-y act upon the theory that the
whole secret of medical science, consists in tle
ptctwn, and, hence, when any thing is inaclc pub
lic which seems to militate against their system
ot phlebotomy, (and, per consequence, against
the indefinite continuance of the fees which thev
Inake by their use of the Government lancet),
they yell and howl with very fear lest they be
det< itec! in their schemes of wickedness and in
famy. They know, too, that they utter a de
liberate and malicious falsehood, when they say
that we arc engaged "in bolstering up the cause
of murderous traitors." The Hessian hireling
who is lite nominal editor of the Harrisburg
Telegraph, is forced to endorse our course in the
Legislature and confesses that ax a mc-mber of
that body, we were decided and outspoken in
our devotion to the Union. The valiant editor
ot the Repository, who ran away at the first
sound of the rebel bugles in the suburbs of
C harobersburg, speaks of "professions of fideli
ty" to our country on our lips. This noble pair
of brothers know and feel and believe that we
tovc our country, but they hope to parry the
fbree of the blow which articles like that at
which thev are offended, level at the eon tin u
: ance of their corrupt ami bloody dynasty. As
! for the Pittsburg Gazette, its editor did not even
possess the fairness to copy our article as we
: printed it, but made us say that "Gen. Grant
i is still able to act on the repulsive" instead of
"the offensive as we had it. A forgery so mean
.• could only have been perpetrated by an editor
i who swore that he would not support Governor
Curtin, yet did all in lii.s power to re-elect him,
: Hut let the Harrisburg postmaster howl; let the
hero of "Rutherford's Lane" repeat bis cuckoo
note of "traitor! traitor!" let the Pittsburg
! Gazette misquote and misrepresent; they cannot
deter us from telling the truth about abolition
ism and all its crimes, even though they be com
mitted in the sacred name of the Union and by
the authority of an administration which as
sumes to be the Government.
The Cleveland Nomination.
The "wing" of the "Republican" party which
helil its national convention at Cleveland, on
the 31st ult., have put their nominees in the field
in T he person of GEN. JOHN C. FREMONT, tor
President and that of GEN. JOHN COCHRANE,
for Vice Presibnt. To? convention was large
ly attended, about 350 delegates and a very
large crowd of spectators being present. Fre
mont and Cochrane have accepted the nomina
tions, arid the former, in his letter of acceptance,
announces that he lias resigned his commission
in the army and that if Lincoln is renominated
by the "shoddy wing'' of the party, he must be
defeated at all hazards. Their platform is, of
course, thoroughly anti-slavery and in favor of the
prosecution of the war. We will publish an
account of the proceedings of the convention in
our next.
GRADUATED. —Our young friends, Jas. Mar
tin, Adam Koontz, Philip Shoemaker, James
Shoemaker, and Wm. S. Cessna, all of this
c unity, recently graduated at DufFsCommercial
College, Pittsburg. They are all worthy young
men and we commend them to the confidence
of men of business.
TKLKGUAVH LINK, TO THE SFRINGS. —The In
land Telegraph Company arc building a branch
of their line to the Springs. The construction
is going on under the able superintendence of
Mr. Kowe.
APPOINTMENT OF PRESIDENT J EDGE —lion.
Alexander King, of this place, has been appoin
ted, President Judge of this district, to till the
vacancy occasioned by the death of Judge Nill.
NEW GOODS.—J. M. Shoemaker lias just re
ceived a large lot of new goods. Job is very
patient and will wait on customers without the
| least complaint, especially when their purchases
are made for cash.
FRESH ARRIVAL.— J. B. Farqnhar has lately
received, from the eastern cities, an extensive
assortment of new goods. Give him a call.
£3rTbe war news is unimportant, though sev
eral severe battles have been fought, in which
I Stanton says tlte Federal loss was 7,500. These
| battles were indecisive. Grant has been forced
! ro take McClellan's plan of approaching Kich
| mond byway of the Chicktt hominy, and is not
| yet, by several miles, as near the city as McClel-
I lan was two years ago.
LINCOLN KKNOMINATKD.— The telegraph an
nounces the re-nomination of Lincoln for the
Presidency, by the Shoddy Convention at Bal
timore. Andrew Johnson, a supporter of
Breckinridge in IBf>o, and formerly a ferocious
pro-slavery man, was nominated for Vice Pres
ident. This makes the "split" in tiie Abolition
party complete.
Sir A \ igorous effort is now being made by
the abolitionists to circulate their papers in this
county. Now is the time for our Democratic
friends to run up the circulation of the Gazette
Will not the active men of the party see that
this is dono ?

PARDONED. —The President lias recently par
doned twenty-seven of the Minnesota Indians
who were concerned in the great massacre in
that State. It is well for them that they did
not live South of "Mason and Dixon's Line."
THE counterfeiters are trying their hand on
the ten cent postal notes, and have succeeded
so well in imitating them that it is difficult to
distinguish the bogus from the genuine article.

The 'Franklin Repository' and Hypocrisy.
PLSU'S HOTEL, Led ford Co., Pa., I
June G, 186 I. )
Ms. EDITOR:
In looking over the last issue of the
"Franklin Repository," I find you have been
called to account for coining as near the truth
as possible, in regard to our losses in Grant's
first advance on Richmond. They (I mean the
abolition press and correspondents) are so used
to lying, that when they get a glimpse of some
thing like facts, they stand aghast, and cannot
find epithets harsh enough to meet the emergen
cy. "Traitor," to them, is too insignificant;
but they must, as they suppose, make it stronger
by using "A t/pocri<i/ t ill-conceived perfidy, y -e."—
Now, this comes with bad grace from the sheet
above named; and as you, living in the be
nighted village ot Bedford, may not have cogni
zance of the far-famed "Alexander the Great,"
of modern times, I will, if permitted the use of
your columns make a slight expose of some of
the freaks of this would-be prodigy of perfec
tion. Having frequently, since the commence
ment of this bloody war, been thrown into the
society of this individual, I will, in my first let
ter, commence with one scene which I witness
ed in Washington City. It was probably a
year and a half after the breaking out of the
war, that this man, with his coffers filled to
overflowing with greenbacks, filched from the
decaying treasury of our poor, stricken country,
by bogus contract?, had occasion to visit the
great emporium of iniquity—the Federal eapi
tel—and not knowing how to make use of his
money, he thought lie would invest it in Han/,-,
and finding "Wtllard's" too small a "house" to
make a splurge, commensurate with his pile, he
concluded to search for some higher priced cafe.
hi passing down Pennsylvania Avenue, lie was
struck with the brilliancy of some elegant lamps:
he stopped, thinking he had found the place of
the City, and inquired what hotel it was ; he
was informed it was the Hotel de Joe liall. lie
entered, remarking that the fare was so poor at
Willard'a that he was always hungry—be would
go in and partake. lie was admitted by a
friend of his—an "American citizen of African
descent"—who very politely ushered him up to
the supper room: but, as fate would have it,
the table bad been cleared, and tiie guests bad
retired to an adjoining room, and were there
pic/Any bones. He looked at the operation for
some time (being very hungry) and anxious to
expend some of Ins ill-gotten gains. Finally,
he concluded to buy some bones ; he looked at
the piles of ivory for some time, and finding the
red to be the higher priced—the white Wing ren/
cheap —he chose the former. Ile bought a pile,
amounting to $250.00; be commenced finger
ing them, then tried to bite them, but his teeth
not being very good, be concluded lie would not
rise swallowing them, but would feed them to
a pet ti'jer Mr. Hall kept for the amusement of
his guests. The tiger gulped them in without
any fears of his digestive apparatus. He pick
ed out another stack of bones, which lie suppo
sed to be more tender, but after trying them, he
found them still too hard, and again fed them
to the same animal. The Bengal stuck very close
to him, as he was the best visitor that had been
there for some time, and Aleck took quite an
interest in him. lie still continued to bring
bones and to feed them to the tiger; but it be
coming late, and he the only one left to the ten
der mercies of the brute, be thought he would
square accounts for the evening"? entertainment,
which amounted to the nice little sum of $3,500.
Pretty good price for one little repast, but what
did he care? for, "come easy, go easy." He had
found a high-priced hotel and was satisfied.
Now, this is the man who talks about "hy
pocrisy and perfidy;" a person, who, when in
the quiet and christian village of Charabersburg,
is as meek and low ly as any professor of reli
gion, but who, when from home, and when he
thinks the eyes of his minions cannot see him,
lets loose all his ptrfuiy and hypoensy, thinkinc
it " alt right and nobody hurt."
P. S. I tnay enlarge in my next.
Yours truly, K. T. BURKET,

Aii Ugly Customer.
"It is customary, in China, that when the
emperor has occupied any seat or chair in the
house of any of his subjects, it is immediately
covered with yellow stuff, the imperial color;
and none may henceforth sit upon it. One day
when the emperor Chantehe, the second of the
Mantcheou dynasty, paid a visit to the mission
ary, Father Schaal, he sat down, sometimes on
the bed—sometimes elsewhere—wherever he
found a seat. The Father said to him, laugh
ing, but where does your majesty intend mc to
sit hereafter; 'Wherever you like,' repiied the
monarch, 'you and I are on terms of equality
—Missions in China.
Oi/rcmpcror, like Chantehe, relishes a "joke.'*
We would, then, like to know, where we, the
poor people, are going to sit, when he enters our
houses, by his taxes, by his proclamations, and
by bis DRAFTS. Arc we, like the Chinese,
to cover bis foot-prints with the yellow stuff—
the imperial color of profound silenco—or, in
other words, "say and write nothing at all about,
it?" According to our Anglo-Saxon fathers,
•'tin lung can do no wrong.'''' O, for a Chinese
Emperor who could say to one of his subjects:
''Scat yourself wherever you please; you and I
are on terms of equality.'" CHANG 111.

The Christian Association of Bedford,
US SYSTEM OF FAITH, DISCIPLINE AND
GOVERNMENT.
Recognizing the Lord Jesu- Christ as the Su
preme Head of tlie Christian Church, who em
ploys the agencies both of Angela and Men for
the ultimate triumphs of his kingdom in the
earth, therefore, for the purpose of advancing
his glory by the spread of his religion, both a
mong ourselves and our brethren of Mankind,
we do hereby unite ourselves together in the
fellowship of the gosjiel, and agree to submit
ourselves to the following system of rules and
regulations, as comprising only a form of tem
porary spiritual organization.
1 "The Church of our Providence," as it has
been significantly termed, shall be known for
the present, by the name and style of the Christ
tan Association of ]ted ford.
2As tlie basis of our faith, we agree to adopt
what is recognized by Cimerr-al Christendom
as fundamental to the Christian Church, "Trie
.1 jHist/ds Creed.''
d Ihe particular form of Worship we com
mit, lor the present, to the judgment of our Pas
tor, until the views ot the Association upon this
subject can le more definitely understood : the
only requisition at this time being that tiie Pas
tor will confine himself exclusively to a faith
ful expounding of the pure word of Cod and
nothing else; that he will duly administer the
christian sacraments of Paptism and the Lord's
Supper, according to the ordinance of Christ,
and in all suitable wavs, seek to edify the Body
of Christ.
4 As a system of Moral rule and govern
ment, we adept the Ten Commandments and
the inspired precepts of the New Testament
Scriptures, relying exclusively upon the grace
of the New Covenant for all requisite ability to
render acceptable obedience thereto.
5 Tiie conditions of membership in this As
sociation, are first, a firm belief in the truth of
the Christian System, and secondly, a scriptu
ral experience of true religion, or an earnest de
sire to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus
Christ. All persons o! this description of c! a:-
acter, provided further, they shall have been
baptized, may be admitted by the Pastor, with
the consent and advice of the Members of the
Association ; the Pastor having the right of de
cision in alt doubtful cases.
G For the trial of all delinquent or disor
derly persons, the Pastor, upon the presenta
tion of complaint by one or more member-",
shall tiring the case either before the entire As
sociation, or a smaller number to be appointed
by him as be may deem best, before whom the
accused shall be required to appear, and who
shall dispose of the case, either by admonition
or reproof', or censure or expulsion, as the cir
cumstances may demand: the Pastor in either
case, to pronounce the decision of the Commit
tee.
7 The spiritual interests of the Association
shall be mainly under the supervision of the
Pastor, who shall however be advised on all
matters connected with his work and ministry
by the Officers of the Association, having charge
of its temporal interests, whenever either of
these parties shall deem counsel to be appro
priate or necessary.
8 The whole temporal economy of the Asso
ciation shall tie under the direction and control
of a Board of Management to consist always of
the Pastor and five or seven members, to be an
nually elected by the Association. This Board
shall fix the Pastor's Salary, have control over
all expenditures for public worship, and per
form all other duties respecting the temporal in
interests of the Association. In all meetings
of the Board the Pastor shall be ex-ofi/no Chair
man.
0 Looking upon the jurisdiction of the Church
as lo other christians, as being purely spiritu
al, we therefore believe it should have no con
nection with secular or civil institutions, nor
should its deliberations and acts at any time re
quire the sword of the civil magistrate to be
unsheathed for the purpose of enforcing them:
\Vc also equally believe with other christian
churches, " that liberty of conscience and
the free exercise of private judgment in mat
ters of religion, are natural and inalienable
rights of men, of which no government, civ
il or ecclesiastical can deprive us." At the
same time, we further hold, that it is the plain
scriptural duty of all christian people, in all
their relations to civil government, to render o
hedience "to tiie supreme authority of the coun
try" where they may reside and to use all laud
able means to promote such obedience on the
part of others. And so we teach and exhort.
10 The present writing respecting the sub
jects it embraces, refers not, as we have alread
y said, to any permanent, but only to a tempo
rary organization, which shall be subject to the
further developments of that gracious Provi
dence which has thus far marked our progress
with tokens of Divine favor, and upon which
we may safely rely for our future guidance.

DR. RAD WAY'S FILLS.
CURE SCARLET FEVER.
CURE SCARLET FEVER.
CURE SCARLET FEVER
Dr. Radway's Rills are the only purgativo
medicines safe to administer in Scarlet Fever,
Erysipelas, Small Fox and other eruptive and
reducing fevers. These pills cure the patient
and are a safeguard against the subsequent ap
pearance of Dropsical effusions, Optliahnia,
Strumous discharges from the ears, sores, ul
cers. and swollen joints, fits, convulsions and a
train of other maladies that scarlet fever patients
suffer after treatment of this disease.
A LAMKNTAItLK FACT.
Not one physician in one hundred ever cures
the patient under treatment of Scarlet Fever,
Small Fox. F.rysipclu*. Granted that the pa
tient recovers f rom the peculiar symptoms of the
original disease—but the. disease is only smot/i
--end, and subsequently breaks out in other forms.
If Radway's Fills are used in this or any'other
disease where a cure depends upon purgation,
and purity of the blood, a perfect cure will bo
secured. Radway's Fills purge thoroughly,
clean.- e and purify tne blood, regulate the liver,
Kidneys, Spleen and other glands to a healthy
and harmonious action occasion no straining,
piles or tenesmus, they make a perfect cure, 110
more physic is necessary, man is restored to
health, and Nature, until her laws are violated,
keeps him healthy. Frice 25 cents per box.—

ilton County Court of Common l'leas, a final
decree has been entered, confirming \Ym. F. Dav
idson, Druggist, X. K Corner Fifth and Main

and vend this popular medicine, and to use the

successor of Dr. .Tas. M. Ja lm.i m, the original
inventor, ami at Ori.ando Byron LrniXM, his
