Address, MEYERS & MENGEL, Bedford, Pa. NEW VOLUME. With this week begins the tenth year of our publication of the GAZETTE, I and the second of the firm of Meyers ! d Mengel. We return thanks to the j public for their patronage and hope to j merit a full share of the same in the fu- { ture. We renew our usual offer to fur-; nish the GAZETTE at advance rates to all who will pay by the coming Sep tember Court. After that period we can't afford to do so. To those in ar rears we would address just one word of expostulation. You are required to pay your arrearages within three months from this date. After that time we will be compelled to use the most stiingent measures to enforce collec tion. We have been dunning to no purpose long enough. There is also a large sum of money due us for estate printing , for which we have waited several years. We desire to remind Administrators, Executors, Ac., that our terms for such printing, are cash, and when we deviate from this rule, it i - only for theirspecial aeeommodatioi . We hope that there will be no necessi ty for the repetition of this notice to delinquents. THE Rump Congress adjourned on Saturday. Honest men, everywhere, will draw a long breath of relief. The country will thank God for a deliver ance greater than that of the Jews from bondage, or Egypt from vermin. The policy of the ruling faction has been fanatical,tyrannical and revolutionary. Their legislation has been the most reckless, extravagant and dangerous ever known in the "nistoryof the coun try. Millions were spent as flippantly $s though money had no value. The appropriations reached more than six hundred millions, nearly as much as any year during the war. Scarcely a bill was passed without the negro in it: and the sums spent to support the vast national scheme of negro pauperism were almost fabulous. They passed the bill to pay liberal bounties to negro volunteers by the usual party major ity; but the bill for the equaliza tion of bounties of white soldiers cami up, the increased pay at first proposed (§B3 per month) was reduced nearly on< half, and even then it only passed by a vote ol 51 to 50, every Democrat, ex cept two, voting in its favor. As a fit finale of their proliflgate career, they increased their own pay front to $5,000 per session, making the snu£ little sum of SIO,OOO to every metnlx r of each < ongress besides mileage. Ex cry citizen should read their proceed ings carefully. No other proof is needed that they will establish a een tral despotism and bankrupt the conn try if they are continued in power. CONGRESSMEN have evidently MADE tip their minds that they will not b re-elected and are stealing all the icon ove what is demanded, Congress pile in taxation by increasing the tariff and nternal revenue tax thirty eight ihil ions, and raises the compensation ol nembers to five thousand dollars per i session. EQUALIZATION OF BOUNTIES. The contest in Congress over the bill 1 to equalize the bounties, xvasprolonged from the beginning to the end of the session. The House passed the bill; the Senate defeated it; the House in si-ted upon its passage; the Senate per sisted in its opposition; finally, on the last day of the session, a committee of ; conference of the two houses agreed to hitch the bill to the Civil Appropria tion list and to tack it to the tail of the proposition to increase the pay of Members and Senators to SS,O(H). 'lhis plan pulled the bounty bill through by a majority of one in the House, the j x'oteStanding yeas 51, nays 50. The Democrats voted for the bill, as they had always done before, and had it not been for their almost unanimous sup port, it would have been lost. More •Republicans' x-oted against than for ' it. Among those voting against it, ; i ar6 Messrs. Lawrence, lvoontz and ; Wilson, of this # State. We have not; seen the bill, as it passed, but it is re - ported that the amount of bounty orig inally proposed was considerably re duced. The vote upon the bill was as \ follows, Democrats in Italics, Republi- j cans in Roman: Yeas. —Anderson, Banks, Barker, ; Benjamin, Bergen, Clarke of-Kansas, Cullom, Driggs, Eekley, Eidridge, j Farnsvvorth, Farquhar, Ferry, Gloss brenner, lligby, Hogan, Holmes, Ilotchki-s, Hubbard.

They ! have a complete registry of the voters of the county, each being marked-"Re publican," "Democrat,"or "Doubtful." Such Democrats as they imagine they can wheedleinto their views, are mark ed "Doubtful," and supplied plentiful- i ly with electioneering pamphlets filled j with falsehoods of the basest character. Among these is one entitled, "Is the South ready for Restoration?" It is j tilled with extracts from Sumner's Scrap Book and Stevens' private let j ters, with garbled extracts from news ; papers and speeches, which, if true, a ! mount to nothing, but most of which have no existence except in the fanat ical fancy of the writer. Send outyour trash, gentlemen! Your movements are watched and your labors will be fruitless. _____—_____ THE Thadites of this county who, a few years ago, engineered Know Noth i ingism, and were ready to cut a for i eigner's throat, seem to have fallen ! wonderfully in lox'e, lately, with the "sweet German accent, and the rich Irish brogue." How they lox'e th° foreigners! They have even gone to thetroubleto preparea pamphlet which they say is intended to "capture the Dutch," thus jeering the men they are trying to cheat. We expect they will next have a pamphlet which they will boast is to "capture the Welsh" and distribute it among the honest miners of the coal region. HARLAN has resigned the port folio of the Interior Department, and the President has apjiointed <). JI. Brown ing, of Illinois, as his sucee.--or. One by one the radicals drop from the side of the President, and the Cabinet will soon be a unit in favor of the Constitu tion and the Union. The resignation of Harlan will put an end to the ship i ping of clerks from Washington for the purpose of making votes against the President. The appointments oi Mr. Randall, as Postmaster General, Mr. Stanberry, a.s Attorney General, and Mr. Browning as Secretary of the Interior, have all been confirmed by the Senate. THE hypocrisy of the Disunion lead er- was completely unmasked by their action on the bill to equalize bounties. They have been tried and found want ing. All the Democrats except two supported the measure in every stage of its progress; but a majority of the "Republicans" opposed it from first to iast. FROM every quarter we have cheer ing news of the coming contest in this county. Many who have heretofore voted the "Republican" ticket are at >ast disgusted with the extravagance md miscegenation proclivities of their .eaders, and openly avow their deter mination to be led no further on the road to negro equality and national bankruptcy.

Geary for Governor, declares that ] Thad Stevens is a Disunionist and in favor of Congress giving the negroes the right to vote. The Union Republi can is at present engaged in a contro- ] versv with the West Branch Bulletin , a : * * ] ' radical paper, and thus speaks of that . I journal,and its beau ideal ofastates i man, Thad Stevens: I Thaddeus Stevens says: "with my ! consent the union never shall he re | stored." The West Branch Bulletin supports . • Thad. in all his acts and sayings. This i paper denounces all such traitorous | sentiments. Thad. Stevens says: "that eleven j states are out of the union and must remain out." ! The Bulletin repeats and endorses Thau's sentiments. The Fnion Republican says no state ! can legally secede from the union, con j sequentlyall the states remain in the ! union. ] Thad. Stevens is in favor of Congress | giving all negroes the right of suffrage, thereby increasing the representation in Congress from the South, (if those ! states should ever be restored) and de creasing it in the Xortn. The Bulletin cries amen to Thud's proposition and endorses all that Thad savs on the subject. This pa per says that Congress has no constitutional right to make negro vo ters; that that right belongs to the in dividual states, and opposes the idea that negroes should be endowed with the right of franchise in Pennsylvania. That is very go< d, (Mr. Union Re publican! But what business has John j W. Geary's nanieat your mast-head, if you hold such sentiments? NEGRO RIOT AT NEW ORLEANS. A terrible riot las just occurred in the city of New Orleans, growing out of a demonstration of the negroes in . honor of the re-assembling of thede : funct Banks .State Convention of 1864. A procession of negroes was passing a i long one of the streets, when a white man was tripped by a negro, and a po liceman undertaking to arrest the lat ter he was at once fired upon by the i negroes, whereupon a row ensued which i soon assumed the proportions of a most J fearful riot. Tiie Mayor and police fi nally succeeded in restoring order, but not until a number of negroes and sev eral whites were killed, and many of both colors wounded. This is another episode in the history of black and j white equality. Such are the workings ]of the Civil .Rights Bill. Riot, blood ] shed and anarchy are its legitimate re i suits. Who would vote so as to en dorse it? TJIE AlSritO PBISSIAX WAR. The latest news from Europe is to the effect that a treaty of peace has been signed by Austria and Prussia.— What is the nature of this treaty, we are not informed. The news was re ceived by the Atlantic Telegraph. The Prussianshad -till continued their vic torious march and had entered Darm stadt. The main Prussian army was within fifty miles of Vienna. A five days armistice, commencing on the 28d ult., was agreed upon between the two powers. The Italians had taken the "Borgo Fort." The Austrian commander ip the Tyrol claims to have driven the Italians across Caffora riv er. A gunboat tight ha I occurred off Dissa, the Austrians claiming the vic tory. A PERSONAL JOB. —Congress de mands retrenchment in tiie depart ments, and raises the compensation of membersto live thousand dollars per session. CONGRESS votes to pay itself more money for remaining in session to leg islate against the people and in favorof Radical officeholders. j A PRECIOUS JOB.—Congress propo sed to give twenty millions' worth of ' valuable mineral lands to the New York 1 and Montana Mining Company, aswin-j die fortunately detected and smashed j by the President, and increases the pay ; of members to Ave thousand dollars per j session. J Ax IMMENSE Jon.—Congress grants ] millions of acres of public lands and ! hinds itself in the sum of nearly sixty ] millions of dollars to aid in thegigan ! tic job of building the Northern Pacif i ic Railroad, and at the same time rais | es the pay of members to five thousand dollars per session. A CRACKING JOB.—Congress raises the salary of its members to five thou* ! sand dollars per session, and compels the government to pay the national I banks thirty millions per annum in the shape of interest on government bonds | for the privilege of having Treasury ; notes and legal tenders superseded as )currency. | A BAD J OR. —Congress raises the \ compensation of members tofive thou ! sand dollars per session, and proposes j to lend (Mexico thirty millions of dol ; lars, the revenue of that country being j collected by French officers to satisfy : French claimants. I A DOWN EAST PEDAGOGUE JOB. — Congress proposes to establish a Bureau of Education, at a cost of five mill ions per annum, and increases the pay ; of members to five thousand dollars per I session. A CHARITY JOB. —Congress raises ! the salary of its members to five thou sand dollars per session, and gives sev en millions in one lump for another great charity humbug called theFreed men's Bureau. A HEAVY JOB.—Congress proposes to aid in constructing levees on the Mis-issippi and Yazoo rivers at an ul timate cost of fifty millions, and rais es the pay of ineinbersto five thousand dollars per annum. A SLY JOB.—Congress proposes to fund the national debt and sell I .surplus gold, allowing a per eent ! age for the business to outsiders, and ! raises the pay of members to five thou sand dollars. CONGRESS meanly cuts off the salary of Minister Harvey, because he wrote a private letter in defence of the Pres ident, hut increases its own salary, earned only by abusing the President. A CONTEMPTIBLE JOB.—Congress cuts down the bounty to poor soldiers, raises the salary of members to five thousand dollars per annum, and squan ders over two hundred and fifty mil lions uselessly. CONGRESS votes to increase its pay 1 for protecting British commerce by j preventing our vessels sold during the • rebellion from coming back under our flag. CONGRESS, having robbed the public treasury in every other way, now makes a direct grab at the greenbacks by an increase of salaries. CONGRESS votes to increase its own salary, but defeats the Bankrupt bill, ] designed to relieve poor debtors. CONGRESS is going to pay itself a higher -alary for keeping the Union dissolved. ST. CLAIR TOWNSHIP, ) 7 Mo., 27th.day, 18(5(5. j FRIEND BENJAMIN: —Thy neigh bors here of,the opposition, were a good deal shocked at cutting the head off of the soldier who had his leg cut off . during the war. So many professions being made for the soldier, led us to tiiink he deserved some consideration; 1 but this serves to show the differ , | ence between practice and profession.— I The Bedford Inquirer's appeal to the "boys in blue," is getting to he well j under- ood. Like the mother's advice j to her son, who afterwards went to jail, for stealing: "Make money my son, honestly if you can, but make money!" the opposition say: "Make votes, white or black, but make rotes !" Two of our neighbors whom you know very well, had a talk, the other day, and being brothers, it was in good earnest; when George said to William: "They (the negroes) must have their vote— anything to beat the d d Demo crats." I give thee their precise lan guage. Such is the desperation of thy opponents. Thee must buckle on thy armor and fight against this corrupt scheme of Negro Suffrage. It is the key to all our troubles. The opposi tion must not be allowed to hide it as they did before. The "Freedmen's Bureau" bill, costing us millions a year to pay agents who are too lazy to work, freedmen who are too lazy to keep themselves and speculators who get the contracts to supply provisions, is another thing thee should expose.— We tax-payers are getting tired and becoming restless. Patience may cease to become a virtue, hut we desire relict from our burdens, peaceably, through the ballot-box. Greedy politicians and speculators have been making enough ; off' the people. Thy opposition neigh bors here are beginning to see these things in their true light, and i can as sure thee that some improtant changes are going on. Ifany thing of importance turns up I may drop thee a note. TIIY FRIEND. Urlrgatcs to tin- National I'tIon Conven tion.

We have already noticed a call for a soidisant Southern Radical Conven tion, to offset the National Union Con vention, of men of all parties, from all sections of the Union. The New York Xeirs thus gives the Jives and history of some of the signers to Jack Hamil ton's call: "Three of them profess to be citizens of Texas. Not one of them is a resident ' ofthatstate. 'Governor' Hamilton left . it some time ago, declaring that he nev | er expicted to reside there again, and lie is now in Washington. George W. Paschal 1, whose suspected treason to ' the Confederacy was magnanimously . over-looked by its government during all the war, is now living in Washing -1 ton and practicing law there. Lorenzo Sherwood resides in the city of Brook lyn, and has a law-office in this city. These are tiie Texans. 1 Two Georgians sign the call G. W. , A.-hburn and Henry C. Coie. Neither of them is known to a hundred men outside of his county. They are both Northern men by birth and education, i ()ne of them is a correspondent of a Bos j ton paper, and as such isthe malignant slandererof the people among whom he lives. Eight sign as citizens of virginsa. Except Underwood, whose infamy has j made him notorious, these men are all • i utterly insignificant and unknown.One , iof them, Lewis McKenzie, is a rather i j respectable person. Another, the Rev. j J. W. Iluuuicutt is a crack brained, ad ' dlepated sort of a fellow, whom every ' one laughs at, a South Carolinian by >! birth. The remaining dxareall natives , | of the North. The signers from Alabama are with "j the exception of Mr. George Reese, so obscure and unknown, that we venture | to say that they have never been heard ol I ten mites from their homes. We are somewhat suprised that Mr. Ilei se ap i pended his name to the call, if, indeed, II it was placed there by his authority. , | The four Missourians who sign thepa '! per are a part of the scum that was | thrown to the surface of the filthy po '! iitical pool of that State by the terrible agitations of the war. if there is a | man in all the land who can tell us any thing about the two North Caroiin | ians whose names grace the call, we ; shall be obliged to him for the infor j mation. j These are the men who have called j a Convention of' the Loyal Unionists ! the South' to meet at Philadelphia on j the first Monday in September." THERE is a paper in Mobile called j the Xotiono/ist, owned and edited by 1 blacks. It has a colored correspondent ; at New Orleans, who expresses his ap ! preeiation of the Bureau in the follow ' ing language. He says: "A thousand times better would it 1 be for the colored men were it übolish ■ ed, for,- instead of being a safeguard and | protection for the freodmen, it is only a place in which freed men's rights are bartered away; it serves only to engen der bitterness and hatred in the hearts of the very people with whom we ex pect to live, die, and be buried." MK. GKEELY DEFINES HIS POSI TION. —In answer to a letter addressed to him from Waukegan, Mr. Greely has written the following letter. Yes Sir: —1 would bail Davis,oryou, or any other culprit that the govern ment* would shamefully keep in jail more than a year, resisting and deny ing his just and legal demand that he be arraigned and tried, or let go. \ 7 ours truly. HORACE (J HE LEY. Mr. J. WILSON, Jr., Waukegan. FEDERAL JUSTICE.—The Age has culled the following from the volumi nous testimony taken before the mis railed Reconstruction Committee of Congress. It is part of the testimony of Judge Underwood, before whom Jef ferson Davis will be tried next fall. The reader would not fail to see, if he should ever read any considerable amount of the "testimony" taken by thi- com mittee, that it lias about as much to do with the price of corn as it has with the subject of reconstruction: (j. What is the standing at present in Virginia of Jefferson Davis in point of popularity ? A. He is not as popular as General Lee by any means. Ile is however, re garded as their representative man, but I know that he is not really as highly esteemed as many others. Q. What are some of the principal defects in his administrative career? A. I think they have complained of his want of firmness, as they called it, and his leniency to prisoners. He iseer ; tiiinly not as popular as General Lee. But now comes tiie most remarkable • ! part of all, as to which, reading in the nineteenth century, we rub our eyes I and wander if it can be i eaiity: Q. Could either Jefferson Davis or i Robert E. Lee be convicted of treason ! in Virginia ? A.() no! unless you had a packed i jury. Q. Could you manage to pack a jury i there. A. I think it would be very difficult, j hut it coiqd he done. / could packajury j to convict him. This is the creature that Abraham | Lincoln appointed a judge in Virginia, and this is he who now administers justice. We have nothing more to say. A JOKE ox GEARY, THE HERO OK SNICKEKVILLE.— At Cape May, the | other evening, Heller the world re- I nowned wizard gavean entertainment, ! which was largely attended by the -o ijournersat the Cape. Somebody asked i Heller if by second sight, or any other ; of his wonderful powers, lie could | foretell who would he next Governor of Pennsylvania? He answered, "That while Geary was a swift runner , his ri val hud the best chance of elevation, being a 11 ster as well a- Ctymer. This br :gii; the house down with three - h . :y iln ers for Hiester Clymer, the e . re ao lienee rising to their feet, 'joined in the hurrah. Three groans were j roposed for the hero of Snicker's j Gap. Such groans would have scared I Geary worse than he ever was scared before. — Patriot & Union. TITETHREE MONTHS EXTRA PAY.— Congress lately parsed an act giving three months extra pay to utt officers in service at the close of the rebellion.— We'd like to know why the privates | were left off the list. The amount the : officers get amounts to over a million ! dollars, and is distributed as follows: Infantry, nett tax off— Colonels, 827" 75; lieutenant colonels, $228 00; Majors, i $199 50; captains, adjutants, reg.ment ! al quartermasters, sl7l 50; Ist lieuten ants, $142,50; 2d lieutenants, $l2B 25. Cavalry —Colonels, $313 50: lieuten ant colonels, $270 75; majors and sur geon:-, $228 00; captains, a.a. generals, I com. of subsistence and assistant quar- I termasters, $l9O 50; regimental qnar | termasters, SIBO 50; lieutenants and as : sistant surgeons. $152 00. | CHASING THE GREENBACKS.— The New York Herald and the Ledger pub lished a statement that the Department of the Treasury under Chase was minus thirty millions of greenbacks. \\ by did not the Black Republican Committee ion the Conduct of the war investigate | this statement? Why did not some ! "loyal" Senator ex press surprise at this i statement? Did the Senate agree to | adjourn so soon in order to pi event in | vestigation? Is this statement, like that in regard to " cotton frauds ," to be j hush d up underthe Radical cry of the ! negro is better than the white man, and I ought to vote? Is the negro to elect i Congressmen who will not investigate into*the corruption of the "loyal" ad i ministration ? It suems so. This is I the best way to pay the national : debt! — Age. THE GREAT QUESTION??—' The great | question with the negroites is, how j shall we manage so that t.he MINO ! RITY can RULE the majority ? I low ; shall we, the disunion minority, man | age to KEEP our hands IN the na -1 tional TREASURY ? j These are the two great questions in | one! The minority MUST RULE be | cause WE are the minority! The ne ; gro must vote, because he will vote i with "WE" the minority ! The Un- I ion must he divided, and usurpation I be resorted to, or else WE, the mino j rity will be out voted! — Xorthumber | land Democrat. —Gen. Francis P. Blair, Jr., has | brought a suit for damages against the ! Missouri Democrat, a.
