IMPORTANT POLIL'R'A). (IOVESIF.XT. !
In the last issue of the Somerset Dem-1
oerat there is published a call for a eoun- 1
ty convention of delegates to represent'
the voters of Somerset county who are
in favor of a free railroad law. who j
condemn the course of our representa-■
tives in the late State Legislature in re- >
gard to the extension of time to the j
Connellsville and Southern Pennsyl
vania Railroad (,'ompany, and who sup
port President Johnson's administra
tion. This call is signed by about/owe
hundred voters, among whom we recog
nize quitea number of influential mem
bers of the "Republican" party of Som
erset county. The convention thus
called will meet in the borough of Som
erset, on the 2lst in.-t.. and will nomi
nate candidates for county offices and
for Representatives and Senators. 1 his
is a novel feature in the polities ot the
"Frosty Sons of Thunder" and ought
certainly to prove a successful venture,
as both political partie- in Somerset
profess to favor a free railroad law and
also to support President John-m.
CIRCUEATR the truth! The "Cam
paign Climber" will be an indispensa
ble document during the approaching
campaign. Our friends throughout the
county are respectfully request* d to get
up clubs for it.
A HESSI.AS < II'TI lUa.
Gen. Knipe has routed the Hessian
of the Harrisburg Telegraph, "horse
loot and dragoons." Bergner, theslati
derer of President Johnson, the libel
ler of the best and purest men in thD
Commonwealth, i- superseded as post
master at Harrisburg, by Gen. Joe
Knipe, a white Republican and a de
cent man. President Johnson removal
Bergner and appointed Knipe. and al
though the Senate lingered awiiileover
the appointment, the influence of Sen
ator- Cowan and Buckalew finally ef
fected its confirmation. Had it not
been for the indefatigable exertions ol
these true friends of the Union and the
soldiers, the appointment of General
Ivnipc would have been buried in the
tomb of the Capulets, by Sumner,
Wade A Co. But the whole Democrat
ic, combined with the conservative Re
publican, vote of the Senate, secured its
confirmation. We feel like shouting
over this result. Bergner has lied e
nough alwiut us and almost every oth
er Democrat in the State, to cause a
general jollification at his downfall.
COL. M CLL'KE, of the Franklin lie
pos'dory, is about to start a campaign
paper in the interest of the Gearyites,
to be called The Old Flag. This is cer
tainly a proper title for a Disunion or
gan. The Hag under which Geary, Mc-
Clure A Co., are marching, has but
ticenty six stars upon it'represents but
twanty six States, and. therefore, must
be quite au old flag—in fact a little old
er than the Stars and Stripes under
which our armies put down rebellion.—
We congratulate the Colonel on the ap-
< PO-TO-MAC !"
There seems to be some dispute about
the signification of the Indian name
Potomac. We find the following refer
ence to this question in a sermon enti
tled "The Curtained Throne," preach
ed by the Rev. It. F. Sample, of this
place, "on the death of our lamented
late President, Abraham Lincoln." on
the ?6d of April, I860:
"Here I am reminded of an incident
in the early history of this country.
The signification of Potomac is gener
ally suppo-ed to be. the river of swans.
Count Zinzendorf, who was familiar
with the language of the Aborigines,
says this is an error. He relates that
long ago the Delawares, who had been
at war with a Southern tribe, with the
view of securing an amicable adjust
ment of their difficult,es. appointed a
meeting on the banks of the river which
separated their respective domains.
The Delaware-- assembled at the desig
nated time and piace. Hour alter hour
passed on, but the other tribe tailed to
appear. The former were-about tore
tire, for the sun was near its setting,
when one of their nnmher saw ft solita
ry Indian on the summit- of a distant
hill. Believing that other- were com
ing after, he lifted up his hands with
an exclamation of joy, saying, "Po-to
mac,"—"Lo they come!"
"The bank-of this same river have
been the scene of many a hard-fought
battle since then, and the Potomac has
borne the blood of martyred heroes to
the Eastern main. Yet here we wait
the return <4 our erring countrymen.
Mav they soon come, in penitence. o>
pledge eternal fi alty to the nation.
Then, when we shall" witne-s their ap
proach, we will fill the air with out
glad rejoicings, shouting 0110 to anoth
er, "Potomac.' —"Lo they come !
Well, our "erring countrymen" hare
returned, l hey cry out to us. "Lo we
! we have come!" But who answers,
j with hands uplifted in joy. "Po-to

j the gentlemen who admired Rev. >am

a copy of it for publication, are now

ANOTHER FEATHER IN ULYUER'S
<A*.
Th- Republican press have been com
pelled to sneak of Mr. Clymer's char
acter as unexceptionable. We now
have the gratification of copying from
the Pittsburg Post, a ietter from Hon.
G. V. Lawrence, the Republican mem
ber of Congress from the Washington
district, which speaks of Mr. Clymer
as "an honest man" and of his "public
record as straight-forward and consis
tent." This letter was elicited by some
remarks in the Po#f upon a recent
speech made by Mr. Lawrence in Con
gress. When such ardent "Republi
cans" as Mr. latvvrenee tesiify to the
worth of the. Democratic nominee,
what more is needed to establish his
claim to the suffrages of the people?
Mr. Lawrence's letter is as follows:

JAMES P. BAKR,

and neatest, as well as one of the ablest,
country newspapers in the state. Mr.
Meek is an honest and fearless man and
has cut his way through many difficul
ties to the proud position which he at
present occupies. We hope that the
Democrats of Centre county, will rally
still more closely around him and give
him sueli support as will cheer him for

a "Potter Cylinder Press," same style
as that upon which theGAZF.TTK is prin

EVEN* Stanton at last supports the
President's policy. The Cabinet are
now a unit, with the exception of Har

of it and against the Radical pro

MR. EDITOR: —It is a fact that is pas
sing strange, that m these matter-of
fact times, matters of fact should lie so
lightly regarded. Of course people
will not always tell the truth; nay. it
cannot be expected that they will; but I
when 1 say people, 1 mean the ru/yun
profanum, the "outside barbarians,"
those who do not belong to church, or
have not joined latoly; 1 certainly do
noi refer to the godly, and. therefore, ;
must not be understood as alluding, in
any way. to the editors of the Bedford
Inquirer. 1 make no charges of false
hood against those gentlemen; indeed
] indulge in no insinuations as to their
veracity. Kor the present, i leave
those grave matters in the hands of the
federal office-holders in thi- county,
with this simple question, addressed to
t hem, In if trin , an the "Hertford Jw/ni- j
of 'ant. week, states, that "tin re in
noi a ninyle He publican in tin ••onnty thai
rJoen not fidly endorse ('nngrens, and eor
npondinyfy express hin nonfemgt for f/o
neernid Tyler?" How is this, Mr. j
Thomas Hughes, Mr. J. K. Bowles and
the rest of you? Do //of "fully endorse ;
Congress and express" your "eontempt
for the second Tyler?" Somebody at
Washington would like to know, if
you answer this in the negative, as I
presume you will, it will not be worth j
while to call public attention to the I
brawn impudence of the same sheet in
denying that the New York Jleraid i
a "Republican" paper. Pray, did not !
the Jlerahl support Fremont in ISoO,
Lincoln in 1860 and again in 1864? i
Next, I suppose, we will be told by j
this pink of veracity, that the A. 1.
Tribune is a Democratic paper and that
Thad. Stevens is a leader of the John
son men in Congress! As for the fling
at the people of Southampton Town
ship. it will be remembered by the lat
ter when election day comes. Never
mind the honest yeomanry of South
ampton, Mr. Inquirer! They know
how to resent an insult and you will
hear from them in due time. But I
will leave this subject and "hitch on"
to another one, by making a quotation
from the last issue of the Bedford In
quirer. Savs that -beef, in an editorial
l on "Equality," "We do believe that
! the Government should know neither
: white nor black, rich nor poor, high
nor low, in the application of the law
and the guaranteeing to her citizens of
all the rights of person and projierty."
That sound- very well, hut how would
such a policy operate? If all are "e
--qual before the law," black and white
laborers must associate together in the
same field, black and white women
must sit together on the same seat in
the same car, and in all the relations of
life controlled by law the two races
must commingle, if either of them de
sins to mingle with the other. The
: one cannot run away from the other.
And to what will this inevitably lead?
Why, to the iutermarrige of whites
and blacksandtothebreedingof amon
-1 grel race, verily a race of copperhead*.
| Wherever the doctrine of "equality
before the law" has been taught, we
find also the tenets of the Amalgama-
tionists put into practice. Look at our
own colored imputation".' How many
of them are of pure African blood?
Not one in twenty. Many of these are
the issue of white and black intermar
riage; some of them are illegitimates;
but even now whites and blacks are
living together as man and wife, in this
neighborhood. But a few days ago the
daughter of a Mr. Griffith, of Somer
set county, ran away with a negro man
who was a laborer upon her father's
farm. Mr. Griffith was an apostle of
the doctrine of "equality before the
law," and his child washisdiseiple and
an apt scholar she proved herself to be.
Now, does the Inquirer want to make
a Mexico, or South America of this
country? If so, let it continue to ad
vocate the "equality" of the races, and
with the help of the liadicals in Con
gress, it will succeed soon enough. But
there is no danger of the people approv
ing this "equality" doctrine. There
are many of tin* Inquirer's party who
loatheund despise it, and who will, at
the coining election, vote accordingly.
Stick a pin there. OLD SALT.
BLOODY RUN, May 12, LS((i.
MK. Enrron:—Please give these
lines an obscure corner in your paper.
I write for the purpose of upholding
President Johnson. I have read his
veto messages, his Washington's birth
day speech, and his recent speech to
the Soldiers and Sailors, and I have
come to the irresistible conclusion that
lie is a conscientious, honest man. llis
great desire appears to be that the peo
ple shall decide la 'tween his policy and
the policy of Congress. The plans of
the two branches of the government,
are in direct conflict with each other.
The President, a? tfo tribune of the
people, wants these pans in dispute to
be submitted to the people for their
consideration and decision. Such a
desire cannot be cons tie red tyrannical,
or as usurping power. It is the re
verse of tyranny, of usurpation. A
republican government is founded on
the voice of the people. The people
have not called on tlfir law-makers to
pass unconstitutiona acts, to make the
Africans citizens and to extend the
right of suffrage to them. The reverse
of this policy is the vill of the people.
Who then has been usurping power,
one man, or a hundred men ? The ve
to power i- considered the one man
power. But the people can use this
power wonderfully. If it had been
considered a tyrannical power by our
forefathers, it would never have l>eeii
engrafted upon our Constitution, it
was made by them to cheek hasty leg
islation. D. H. Forney may exclaim
that the President vetoes the measures
or laws that his friends want to be a
dopted and that he cannot he com pared
to Andrew Jackson, who vetoed laws
that his enemies pts-ed. Johnson, as
well as Jackson, is sworn to support
the Constitution. If friendship must
lie bought by sacrificing principle, it is
not worth having. Bui the friendship
a public servant obtains by doing right,
is true and lasting and worthy of ap
probation. Jacksc. vetoed act pa—'M
by the Whigs, hi- enemies. Johnson
does not consider the Radical- friend
when they want him to sanction laws
that the Constitution does opt approve.
He will not "throw conscience to the
devil." as Thnddeu- Steven- advised a
Whig to do in the Buck-shot war, and
go with hi- party regardless of aii that
is right and.ju-t. Cou-cieiiee i- an in
ward monitor, it is a veto power, ihe
A 1.1 \vi.e Being has given mortal man
this inward monitor to make him an
immortal being. There can bono reli
gion u nhoui its holy influence. Would
tut iodthatall mankind had a conscience
"void of offence.'' Then brot her would
not meet brother in civil war. May
we be governed > y a good conscience,
so that we may overcome evil with
good, like our worthy President.

Antoine Probst, the murderer of the
Hearing family, has made a confession.
Yesterday morning Rev. Mr. P. A. M.
Cunfht-r. Priest of -i. Alphonsus Cath
olic Church, called upon the Mayor and
narrated the story of the butchery as it
came from the lips of Probst. The con
fession was made to the Rev. gentleman
on Sunday afternoon in the presence of
Mr. Perkins, the Superintendent of the
Prison, and the medical staft" on duty
at the prison. It was a free, voluntary
and open confession. Yesterday after
noon, about one o'clock. Chief Frank
lin and our reporter, and other members
of the newspaper profession, proceeded
to the prison, and on reaching that in
stitution were notified that the murder
er's counsel were in conversation with
him and that they were getting a de
tailcd confession from him. After wait
ing for about an hour Chief Franklin
was informed by the counsel that they
would conclude their statement in a
few minutes. After waiting until half
past three o'clock in the afternoon, the
counsel appeared and informed the re
: porters that they had obtained from the
prisoner a full confession, covering
thirteen pages of foolscap, but that the
murderer expressed a wish and request
; ed them not to give publicity until af
ter the execution. After a few minutes.
| and when the counsel retired, through
! the kindness of Chief Franklin and
Mr. Perkins, Jr., the reporters were
; taken to the cell of tin* condemned
j man. and from him learned the foilow
i ing:
(Yenfe**ion.
1 came to this country on May!),
arrived by thesteanierCoiumbus, which
| sailed from Bremen. 1 was born in 11-1
1 iingen, county of Badenser Lee lvreis,
! I before county of Havenstein;; lam
| twenty-four year and ten months old;
I landed at Castle Garden, N. Y., and
I was only there two hours before 1 en
listed in the Forty-first New York in
fantry: remained in New York about
i five weeks and then went to Washing
| ton, w here I staid about -ix weeks and
| then deserted from the service; went
I back to New York and re-en listed and
! was sent to the front and from there
| with the regiment to Folly Island,
j .South Carolina; stayed there about nine
Months, during which time I was in
j several skirmishes ; the regiment was
! then ordered back to Washington,
1 where i deserted again and on reaching
Baltimore was arrested by a provost
j guard and detained a number of weeks
|by them and then discharged. 1 told
them I had not been in the service.—
After being discharged and when reach
ing this city i went to Bucks Hotel on
Carpenterstreet, where 1 remained sev
davs. I then went to West Chester and
enlisted in the Ffth Pennsylvania cav
alry. This wa- in September, 18(14;
j was discharged on May 18,18115, in Rich
j mond.
How he tost hi* Thumb.
While at the front I was kept on pick
et duty several days and had hardly
any sleep. I became stupid and could
not keep my eyes open. Having the
gun in my hand one night I fell over
and the gun was discharged. At the
time of the explosion my thumb was
over the muzzle of the weapon. After
this occurrence I was discharged from
the service.
Hi* niorement*.
Immediately after my discharge from
the army 1 went to New York, and re
mained in a house on Greenwich street
for six or eight days, and then went
over to lloboken where I worked on
New street at shoveling gravel. Fol
lowed this work lor three weeks and
returned to New York, and from there
came to this city; while here I obtain
ed work in Leyering's sugar house, on
St. John street, and labored there about
three weeks. The work did not agree
with me, and I went to Maryland,
where I obtained work a picking peach
es, at which occupation 1 remained for
three weeks, liere I took sick with
a fever, and wa-taken to the Soldier's
Home, Thirteenth and Chesnut street,
in this city, wljere 1 was sick for two
weeks.
His ri*it to the Hearing*.
On leaving the Soldiers' Home I
went in search f work, and while go
ing along Jones lane I stopped at Hear
ing's, and asked if they wanted a man
to work. Mrs, hearing said she thought
her husband did, she requested me to
call again; i then went to the house a
gain at 51 o'clock in the afternoon, and
found Mr, Hearing at home. Mr. Hear
ing said he would give me #ls a month
to do the lglioriig work about the farm.
I consented, and went to work.
Why he teas discharged.
It was raining very hard one day, |
and Mr. Dearintr me to go to
work in the lieldl refused to go. on J
account of the weather. He insisted
on my going, and I told him I would
not. 1 finally told him to pay me oil'. 1
He did so, and 1 left that evening, and j
rode up to the city along with Corneli
us Carey. During the time 1 was at
Hearing's I saw him count a large a
mount of money.
On reaching the city he went direct J
to Christian Moore's on Front street i
below Noble, and stayed there two days.
I then went to Leokfeklt's on New j
Market street, and left my carpetbag,
which had my clothing in, consisting I
of a couple of shirts, pantaloons, <£c. .
1 then wandered around the country, |
stopping at West Chestes and other
places.
II hot f)< '•titin of h>* money.
1 received bounty-money every time
j I enlisted. I spent it drinking iagcr
! beer and visiting the low dens of the
: city. ' Probst luugiied very hearty when
jhe made this last statement, i Some of
the money I expended in traveling a
ronnd the country.
He return* to the city.
In November. 18(15, I returned to the
city from the country and stopped -ix
days at Christian Moor -. I was then
out-of money, and receiving a ticket
for the alms house I went to the insti
tution on the It of December. 1 re
mained there four or five weeks. Dur
ing part of the time I was sick and the
rest of the time i was employed in the
c( H>k-iiouse.
lie again rixif* tin I ><< rings.
After leaving the alms house on the
I'd of February, in the evening, I re
turned to the bearing farm, and told
Mr. Hearing that i had been to
manv and could find no work and had
no money. When i eft his place I in
formed liini that ! was going to (Ger
many. I also told him that i walked
all the way to this eity from New-York.
He finally concluded to give me em
ployment.
fie emit' m/e'uU-d the n>order.
1 made up my mind when I returned
to the farm to get Mr. Hearing's mon
ey* and was waiting for an opportunity
to secure it. J had been at the drove
yard with Mr. Hearing about four
times. About eight or ten days before
I murdered the family I contemplated
killing them, i thought of murdering
1 them in the house, as I could not get
the money in any other way. I had the
axe ready in the house on several oc
casions. I thought of killing them
when they came down stairs in the
morning, but my heart failed me when
, the time came.
How In foimnit/ed the Murder.
Saturday morning 'the day of the
murder) was a dark, cold and rainy
(lay. I went out with Cornelius aliout
half past seven o'clock in the morn
ing. He took the horse and cart with
him and we went to the ditch in the
: rear of the hay-rick, i took the big
axe with me as we generally did to cut
roots with. Cornelius sat down under
the big tree and i got behind him.
My heart failed me and it was some
time before 1 could brace myself up to
commit the deed. 1 raised the axe sev
eral times before I left it come down
;on him. I finally struck him on the
1 back of the head and then cut his
throat, i then put him into the cart
and hauled him to the hay rick, where
i I concealed him. He always had the
strap around his waist. There was
i some blood in the cart, but 1 washed it
off with some hay. Thesightof blood
produced in me a devilish and blood
thirsty feeling, and I could have killed
a hundred persons if they had been a
bout the farm.
I then put some wood in the cart and
drove up to the barn. 1 left the horse
and cart standing there, and went into
i the barn, taking with me the large and
small axesanda hammer. I then went
i into the house and told .John, the old
est boy, to come out and help me in
the barn. He did so, and I struck him
down. I then went after Mrs. Dear
; ing and told her something was the
matter with the colt. She came out,
and after .-he entered the barn 1 dis
patched Iter with a small axe. I car
ried the bodies and placed them in the
small building at the end of the barn.
1 then went into the house and called
, the ot her children out with the excep
tion of Annie and the baby, and slaugh
! tered them in the same way. I then
went after the others. I carried the
baby in my arms and Annie walked by
my -idc. 1 seated the baby in the hay
wiiile J killed the sister, and then mur
dered the baby.
Question. —How was it that you
struck the baby so often?
An-wer.—l was in a hurry. I then
! carried the children and laid them with
j the mother, after which I took the har
j iless off the horse, put the cart away,
j and went into the house to look for
j plunder, i secured a large pocket book
with sin in it, two counterfeit bilis ..nd
a threeilollar bill, \bout half-past one
, o'clock Mr. Hearing and Miss Dolan ar
rived. Miss Dolan went direct to the
house, and 1 told Mr. Hearing some
thing wa< the matter with the steer.
He went right away into the stable,
and while he was looking at the animal
1 I struck him as the others. MiBB Dolan
j then came into the barn and I killed
her. None of them made a remark—
| J knocked them all senseless.
Mr. Hearing's boots 1 took ofi' bis
feet, thinking they might contain his
money. I secured Miss Dolan's pock
| et book, but it bad only a few small
| notes in it. After secreting the bodies
under some bay I went back to the
j house, made another search for plun
der. secured the revolvers, watches,
| Ac., eat some bread and butter, went
: back to the barn, fed the horses, cattle,
I chickens, Ac., and left the house in the
evening. 1 did not see any large bills
in Miss Dolan's possession. I was a
fraid to leave the baby in the house
lest it might cry and attract attention.
I Mr. D aring did not take off his gloves
j before going into the barn. The pris
j oner then related the story of his stop
-1 ping on Front street, sellingthe watch
j es, Ac., which all came out at tile trial,
j Probst stated yesterday that he work
led for liis father at carpentering at
| home, and was not banished from the
I country for any bad deed,
i His reaaonfor not making a Con/ere ion.
j He further said that he would have
i confessed to all the murders before, but
; he feared if he did so he would be torn
I to pieces by the mob.
During the trial, and even at the time
of his capture, he states that he had a
disposition to make a confession, but
, the yells of the crowd when he first
saw them, frightened him into the be
lief that if they knew the extent of his
i crime all the police *in Philadelphia!
could not save him from their clutches.
Probst also states that he did not like
to go to the court-room during the tri
al, as the yells of the crowd when he
made his appearaneeon the-treet made
a deep and terrible impression on him,
and he much preferred the solitude ot
his cell.
Although no one has doubted, for a
long time, that he was solitary and a
lone in his devilish work, it is a source
of infinite satisfaction to know, from
his own lips, that he had no accom
plice.
