Address, MEYERS & MENU EL, Bedford, Pa. M;\V VOL,I HE. With this week begins the tenth year of our publication of the GAZETTE, and the second of the firm of .Meyers & Mengel. We return thanks to the public for their patronage and hope to merit a full share of the same in the fu ture. We renew our usual offer to fur nish the GAZETTE at adcu/ux rate all who will pay by tb;; lAt period we can t anora to do so. i'o those In ar rears we would address just one word of expostulation. You an- required to pay your arrearages within three months from this date. After that time we will be compelled to use the most sttingent 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 rash, and when we deviate from this rule, it Ron y for their special aecominodatioi . 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 vennirt. The policy of the ruling faction has been fanatical,tyrannical and revolutionary. Their legislation has been the mos reckless, extravagant and dangerou. ever known in the history of the coun try. Millions were spent as flippantly as though money had no value. Tin appropriations reached more than six hundred millions,nearly&s much a- any year during the war. Scarcely a bib 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 negn volunteers by the usual party major ity; hut when the bill for the equuliza tiou of bounties of white -soldier- raun up, the increased pay at first proposei per month] was reduced nearly on half, and even then it only passed bj a vote of 51 to 50, every Democrat, ex cept two, voting in its favor. As a fit finale of their proliftgatc career, tie \ increased their own pay from $3,000 to $5,000 per session, making the snug little sutn of SIO,OOO to every member of each (bngressbesides mileage, liv ery citizen should read their proceed ings carefully. No other proof i needed that they will establish a cen tral despotism and bankrupt thecoun try if they are continued in power. COXGBESSMEX have evidently ma<'e up their minds that they will not IK re-elected and are stealing all the moil ey rtioy can. THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION. The National Union Convention which will meet in Philadelphia, on the 14th inst., promises to be a true representa tion of the people of the entire Repub lic. It will be the first convention ••(im posed of representatives from all the States, that has assembled since the meeting of the Democratic National Conventipn in 1860. In this respect, as well as in that of diversity in political opinion, it will he truly national. Whilst the "Republican" party will be largely represented in its councils, Democrats from every section of the country will sit bv their side; whilst the "war men" of the North will take ' part in its deliberations, theStephenses, . Johnsons and other prominent South ern men will join hands with them in furthering the long-hoped-for restore-1 tion of the Union. It is meet that such ! will be thecase. Weremenofonepoliti-• eal party alone to assemble in such a con vention, no good could possibly result, j as there could he no opportunity of harmonizing diverse interests in be half of a common cause. We are wil ling to regard any man as a political brother, who will work with us for the attainment of the grand purpose for which all patriots should strive, (he maintenance, unbroken, of the I hion of the Slate.*. Hence, we are glad that in this National Union Convention, men of various and widely different politic al antecedents, will meet and exchange opinions. The result of the delibera tions of such an assemblage, will prove I like that of the Constitutional Conven tions of the fathers, who, though divi ded on great public questions, so har monized their conflicting views, as to erect a government under whose sway the march of empire has been unlim ited, and which, except during its tem porary perversion by corrupt and am j bilious men, proved the unfailing safe ] guard of popular liberty for nearly a ; century. THE RAOM'AI. HF.BELMO\. The letter of Henry J. Raymond, "Republican" member of Congress from New York, exposing the scheme of the Radicals to dt pose the President and inaugurate a .rebellion in the North, has produced much alarm a mong peace-loving and patriotic peo ple. Mr. Raymond has been in the caucuses of the Radicals, and knows whereof he affirms. He declares that they mmn war; that they are quietly arming themselves with a view of forcing President Johnson from the Pa-a -Ttnrjof tty' ru 17ft. Northern mem bers of the next Congress, impeach the President, and attempt toturn him out of office. They calculate that the Pres ident will recognize the members of Congress elect from the Southern States, and the Conservative memiK'rs from the North, (provided these constitute a majority of Congress) as the lawful Congress; and they will then -et them selves up as aii opposition Congress, andappeal to arms to sustain their au thority. This, it is alleged, will occur, if they succeed in electing a majority of the Northern members. Now, then, the question arises. Shad the people, (>y voting for Radical candidates Jor Con gress, run the risk of another war.' There can be no doubt as to the fact that the Radical leaders have determined to in volvetheeountry ina revolution, rather than permit the Southern States to be restored to the Union without Negro suffrage. Let the people he warned. Remember that a leading "Republi can" member of Congress, charges the Radicals with this scheme of a new re hellion. It is no idle tale gotten up f>r the purpose of making political capital. If Radicalism is successful at .he coming election, we fear for the aeace of the country. Again, we say, oeware! EX-PBISIDEVT RI CH L\ A\. The venerable ex-president, James Buchanan, is at present.staying at Bed ford Springs. On Saturday last he paid a visit to ourtoVn, stopping for a short time at the Mengel House. Mr. Buchanan looks well and seems to bear the weight of years without any visi ble effect upon his constitution. His numerous friends in this section will Sedelighted to know that he is again in their midst, the same true friend ol he masses, as when in earlier days he ningled with them in the public af fairs of the country. Tin: New York Herald, of July 26, •ontains a number of sharp things on ;he "job" work done by the present ongrcss. We take pleasure in trans ferring these "hits" to our columns, ind desire our readers to givft credit to he Ih raid for every line in this issui .hat has the word "job" in it. A VERY SEIUOCS JOB.— With a rev nucof over two hundred millionsa >ove what is demanded, Congress pile n taxation by increasing the tariff and uternal revenue tax thirty eight rtiil ions, and raises the compensation oi nembers to five thousand dollars per session. Eqi'AUZATIOX OF BOHSTIES. The contest in Congress over the bill to equalize the bounties, was prolonged from the beginning to the end of the session. The House passed the bill; the Senate defeated it; the House in sisted 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 li.-t and to tack it to the tail of the proposition to increase the pay of Members and Senators to $5,000. This plan pulled the bounty bill through by a majority of one in the House, the vote standing yeas ql, 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' voted against than for it. Among those voting against it, are Messrs. Lawrence, Koontz .and Wilson, of this State. We have not seen the hill, as it passed, hut 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 cans in Roman: Yeas. —Anderson, Banks, Barker, Benjamin, Bergen, Clarke of Kansas, Cullotn, Griggs, Eckiey, Eidridge, Farnsworth, Farquhar, Ferry, Gtoss brenner, Higby, Hogan, Holmes, Hotehkiss, llabbard .

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 wheedle into their views, are mark ed "Doubtful," and supplied plentiful ly with electioneering pamphlets filled with falsehoods of the basest character. Among these is one entitled, "Is the fill.-if wltfl - exTracV< Scrap Rook and Stevens' private let ter-, with garbled extracts from news papers and speeches, which, if true, a mountto nothing, hut most of which have no existence except in the fanat ical fancy of the writer. Send out your tra.-h, gentlemen! Your movements are watched and your labors will be fruitless. THE Timdites of this county who, a few years ago, engineered Know Noth ingism, and were ready to cut a for eigner's throat, seem to have fallen wonderfully in love, lately, with the "sweet German accent, and the rich Irish brogue." How they love th° foreigners! They have even gone to the trouble to prepare a 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. II A HI,AX has resigned the port folio of the Interior Department, and the President has appointed <). H. Brown ing, of Illinois, as his successor. One by one the radicals drop from the side of the President, and the Cabinet will soon lie a unit in favor of the Constitu tion and the Union. The resignation of Harlan will put an end to the ship ping of clerks from Washington for the purpose of making votes against the President. Tiie appointments oi Mr.. Randall, as Postmaster fjeneral, Mr. Stan berry, as Attorney General, and Mr. Browning as Secretary of the Interior, have all been continued by the Senate. THE hypocrisy of the Disunion lead ers 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. FliOM every quarter we have cheer ing news of the coming contest in this county. Many who have heretofore voted the "Republican" ticket are at aist disgusted with the extravagance and miscegenation proclivities of their .eaders, and openly avow their deter mination to he led no further on the road to negro equality and national bankruptcy.

Several despatches were received from Europe. There seems to be no doubt of the successful working of the cable. Truly tlis is an era in the history of civilization. THE Wiiliamsport I nion Rtpullieua r edited l>y 1). S. Dunham, and flaunt ing at its mast-head, the name of John \V. Geary for Governor, declare- that Thud Stevens is a Disunionist and in favor of Congress giving the negroes the right to vote. The I'nion Jit',publi can is at present engaged in a contro versy with the West Branch Bulletin, a radical paper, and thus speaks of that journal, and its beau ideal of a states man, Thad Stevens: Thaddeus Stevens says: "with my consent the union never shall be re stored." The West Branch BuVelin supports Thad. in all his acts and sayings. This paper denounces all such traitorous sentiments. Thad. Stevens says: "that eleven states are out of the union and must remain out." The Bulletin repeats and endorses Thud's sentiments. The I'nion Republican says no state can legally secede from the union, con sequently all the states remain in the union. Thad. Stevens is in favor of Congress I 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 j creasing it in the Xortn. The Bulletin cries amen to Thad's j says oiViw MAjd endorses all that Thad This paper says\h. )r constitutional rlglit 'AsSauwir negro vo ters; that that right belongs to the in j dividual states, and opposes the idea ; that negroes should be endowed with the right of franchise in Pennsylvania. That is very go< d, Mr. I'nion Re publican! But what business has John W. Geary's name at your mast-head, if you hold such sentiments? \E(iKO RIOT AT NI.W ORLEANS. A terrible riot lias just occurred in I the city of New < irleans, growing out off a demonstration of the negroes in ; honor of the re-assembling of thede funct Banks State Convention of A procession of negroes was passing a longoneof the streets, when a white man was tripped by a negro, and a po : iieeman undertaking to arrest the hit ter lie was at once fired upon by the j negroes, whereupon a row ensued which ; soon assumed the proportions of a most j fearful riot. The Mayor and police ft i nally succeeded in restoring order, but j not until a number of negroes and sev | oral whites were killed, and many of ' both colors wounded. This is another episode in tiie history of black and whiteequality. Such are the workings of the Civil Rights Bill. Riot, blood shed and anarchy are its legitimate re suits. Who would vote so as to en dorse it? TIIE AI SlItOI'ltlSNiAA nut. 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 still continued their vic torious march and hail entered Ihtrm stadt. The main Prussian army was within fifty miles of Vienna. A five days armistice, commencing on the 23d ult., was agreed upon between the two powers. The Italians had taken the "Borgo Fort." The Austrian commander in the Tyrol claims to have driven the Italians across Caffara riv er. A gunboat fight ha I occurred off Lissa, the Austrians claiming the vic tory.

We have already noticed a call for a sni(Umttl Southern Radical Conveu dfcntion, of men of all parties, from all sections of the Union. The New York Xrics thus gives the lives 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 of that-state. 'Governor' Hamilton left it some time ago, declaring that he nev er exjxcted to reside there again, and I he is now in Washington. George W. i Paschall, whose suspected treason to | the Confederacy was magnanimously j over-looked by its government during : all the war, is now living in Washing j ton and practicing law there. Lorenzo j Sherwood resides in the city of Brook ; lyn, and has a law-office in this city, i These are the Texans. Two Georgians sign the call G. W. I Ashburn and Henry C. Cole. Neither | of them is known to a hundred men outside of his county. They are both ' Northern men by bifth and education. | (>ne of them is a correspondent of a Bos ton paper, and as such isthe malignant slandererof thepeople among whom he ; lives. Eight sign as citizens of virginsa. ; Hxcept Underwood, whose infamy lias made him notorious, these men are all I utterly insignificant and unknown. One ■<>f them, Lewis .McKenzie,is a rather respectable person. Another, the Rev. i .J. W. llunnieiitt is a erackbraiued, ad | dlepated -ort of a fellow, whom every one'laughs at, a South Carolinian by birth. Theremaining fixareall natives of t he North. The signers from Alabama are with the exception of Mr. George lieese, so obscure and unknown, that we venture to say that they have never been heard ol ten miles from their homes. We are somewhat suprised that Mr. Re. se ap pended his name to the call, if, indeed, it was placed there by his authority. The four Missourians who sign the pa per are a part of the scum that was thrown to the surface of the filthy po liticai 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 Carolin ians whose names grace the call, we shall be obliged to him for the infor mation. Those are the men who have called a Convention of* the Loyal Unionists the South' to meet at Philadelphia on the first Monday in September." THERE is a paper in Mobile called the Xutionalht, owned and edited by blacks. It has a colored correspondent at New Orleans, who expresses his ap preciation of the Bureau in the follow ing language. lie says: "A thousand times better would it be for the eoiored men were it abolish ed, for, instead of beinga safeguard and protection for the freedinen, 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." MR. GKEEEY DEFINES HIS POSI TION.—In answer to a letter addressed to him from Waukegan, Mr. Greely has written the following letter. Yes Sir:—l would hail 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. Yours truly. HORACE GKEEEY. Mr. J. WIESOX, Jr., Waukegan. FEDERAL JUSTICE.— The Aye has •idled the following from the volumi lOUS testimony taken before the mis ailed Reconstruction Committee of Congress. It is part of the testimony if Judge Underwood, before whom Jef 'erson Davis will be tried next tail. The •eader would not fail to see, if he should wer read any considerable amount of die "testimony" taken by this com mittee, that it has about as much to do with the price of corn as it has with the subject of reconstruction: Q. 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. He is however, re garded as their representative man, hut, 1 know that ho is not really as highly esteemed as many others. (j. 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 teuieuetj to prisoners. He is cer tainly not as popular as General Lee. But now comes the most remarkable part of all, as to which, reading in the nineteenth century, we rub our eyes and wander if it can be i eality: (j. Could either Jefferson Davis or Robert E. Lee be convicted of treason in Virginia? A. O no! unless you had a packed jury- * * , . (j. Could you manage to pack a jury there. A. I think it would be very difficult, but it coup Ibe done. J could packet jury 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 lyore to say.
