COME AND REJOICE!
Democratic Jubilee!
The Democrats and Conservatives of
Bedford county, arc requested to as
semble in MASS MEETING, at the
Court House, on MONDAY EVE
NING, April 23d, to celebrate the
GRAND DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
just obtained in CONNECTICUT.
Turn out, friends of Civil Liberty;
turn out, supporters of the Constitu
tion ; turn out Union men, and rejoice
for the day of the country's salvation is
nigh at hand!
J. W. DICKERSON,
Chairman Dem. Co. Com.
HON. GEORGE NHARSWOOII.
The coming Democratic State Con
vention will be called upon to nomi
nate a candidate for the important of
fice of Judge of the Supreme Court.
The term of one of the ablest men on
that bench, is about to expire, and it
becomes the people of the State to look
among their greatest jurists if they
would find a man worthy of the man
tle of Chief Justice Woodward. There
is, in our opinion, one man whose em
inence as a Judge and whose character
as a citizen, will command the respect
of voters of all parties. We refer to
the Hon. George Sharswood, of Phila
delphia. There is not a lawyer in the
State who does not know Judge Shars
wood by his reputation as ij jurist, or
through his works as an author. And
this knowledge is, universally, of a fa
vorable character. We do not hesitate
to say that the nomination of this dis
tinguished jurist would be responded
to in terms of unqualified approbation,
by the bar of the State, without dis
tinction of politics.
We have no personal ends to sub
serve in suggesting this nomination.
We have an eye single to the fitness of
the man, and hence, to the interests of
the people, which ought to he and
which are the interests of the Democ
racy. Our friends in other parts of the
State, have their local preferences and
many of the names mentioned in con
nection with the nomination for this
office, are good ones. But there are few
of them so universally known and re
spected a* that which stands at the
head of this article. Hence, the ques
tion arises, shall we take a candidate
who is comparatively unknown, and
who could add but little to the party
vote, except in his own locality, or
shall we nominate a man who will
command votes, outside of the party,
from one end of the State to the other,
and thus give victory to our organiza
tion, whilst at the same time we reflect
credit upon ourselves, and upon the
State, by the election of a Judge who
will adorn the bench with eminent
learning and ability ? Let this subject
be fully and fairly canvassed, and let
the good of the people and the welfare
of the party, be duly considered by the
Convention, before it makes its nomi
nation for Supreme Judge; for upon
that nomination may depend nothing
less than the liberties of the, people of
Pennsylvania.
KPEECII OF HON. W. H. KOONTZ.
It always affords us pleasure to be
able, consistently, to praise a political
opponent. Hence we gladly give place
to, and commencf to our readers, the
speech of Hon. W. 11. Koontz, M. C.
from this district, delivered recently in
the House of Representatives, upon the
bill to make an appropriation for the re
lief of thedestitute people of the South.
This bill was carried by the united vote
of the Democrats and the more moder
ate Radicals, against the opposition of
Stevens, Butler, and the extremists
generally. It directs that one million
dollars of the appropriation for the
Freedmen's Bureau be applied to the
relief of the Southern destitute. It is
about the only praiseworthy act per
formed by Congress since the meeting
in December last, and we joyfully make
a note of it. The speech of Gen. Koontz
does him great credit, and wehopesome
of his party in this section will learn
magnanimity from his example.
PEPPEBiJBAMS.
Gov. Geary gave an entertainment
i to the members of the Legislature, the
other day. No liquor was upon the
j table, which was so extraordinary a
thing in the social history of the Gov
l ernor, that His Excellency thought it
j wonderful enough to make it the sub
ject of a telegram to the Associated
Press.
BRIMSTONE BKOWNLOW is in troub
le. He has succeeded in disfranchising
two-thirds of the white people of Ten
nessee and in enfranchising all the
blacks. But he took care to reserve all
the offices for the white Radicals, leav
ing the darkies to do the voting. The
"colored brethering" can't see the
"equality" in old Brimstone's plan and
are holding meetings to denounce him.
They ought to tar and feather the old
traitor —for traitor he is, to his country,
to his race and to his God!
They have the Black Crook in Lan
caster. — Pat. <(• Union.
Is that what they call it? We know
l they have a black disease, of some
I kind, in Lancaster county, and we know
| they are a crooked set; but we didn't
j know they called their ailment by such
a name.
SPRINGFIELD, the home of Lincoln,
needs reconstruction. It has just elec
ted the Democratic ticket by 101 ma
jority.
"How does Old Thad come on ?" ask
ed an anxious Radical, who had heard
of the illness of Mr. Stevens. "He
ought to come on well enough," was
the reply; "you fellows say he is the
Great C'omm-on-er."
On Friday last, the U. S. Senate con
firmed Wm. McSherry,of Adams coun
ty, as Assessor, and C. W. Asheom, of
Bedford county, as Collector for this
District. Will the Bedford Inquirer
please make a note of this "bargain
and sale?"— Somerset Herald & Whig.
Perhaps it isn't our "put in," but we
will risk the assertion that there could
have been no "bargain and sale" in
theabovearrangement, as Mr. McSher
ry is a Democrat and Mr. Ashcom a
Conservative opposed to Negro Suff
rage, who has voted for Democrats
more than once. llovv could there
have been any "bargain and sale"
when both appointees are of the same
polities? Perhaps Mr. Ashcom's ap
pointments of subordinates will throw
some light on this subject.
THE Union Sentinel, published at
Trenton, N. J., thus mourns over the
Radical defeat in Connecticut:
"The causes of this defeat are palpa
ble upon the surface, and we shall al
lude to them next week. In the mean
time New Jersey is rapidly going to
the devil on the same track, and unless
fko Upvll tllCil JjlU
pid eyes to the danger in time, the par
ty will be past insurance."
No, not all the Union League Insur
ance companies in the United States,
can raise money enough to save New
Jersey to Radicalism.
CONNECTICUT. —The election in this
State I.as resulted in the election of
English, Democratic candidate for Go
vernor, by about 700 majority, and of
a Republican Legislature. The Re
publican majority in the House is 30
and in the Senate 1. This secures the
election of a Republican U. S. Senator
to succeed Foster. For Congress 1 Re
publican and three Democrats are elec
ted. the former by about 2,000 majority
and the latter by verysmall majorities.
The alwve is the Inquirer*s account
of the result in Connecticut. It is as
near an approach to the truth as that
paper was ever known to make, but is
far enough from it to be set down as
considerable of a "yarn." We must
correct the Inquirer. The Republican
majority in the House is not 30, but on
ly 4, which does not "secure the elec
tion of a Republican U. S. Senator to
succeed Foster." Senator Foster's
successor, Gen. Ferry, was elected al
most a year ago. As to the majorities
for the Demociatic Congressmen,
Hotchkiss, of the New Haven district,
is elected by 2,500 majority, and Hub
bard and Barnum each have 500 major
ity, whilst Starkweather, the only Rad
ical elected, has but 1,700 majority, 800
less than that of Hotchkiss. We hope
the Inquirer will soon have sufficiently
recovered from the shock it received on
hearing the news from Connecticut, to
be able to tell the truth concerning the
defeat of its party in that glorious
State. _____
WE publish in another column an
article from the Somerset Herald and
Whig of last week, in reply to an at
tack made upon its editor, Mr. Scull,
in a late number of the Bedford Inquir
er. We give place to Mr. Scull's arti
cle in order that his political friends in
this county may see how clearly he
vindicates himself against the malig
nant columnies of the Inquirer, as well
as to exhibit to our own party friends
the true state of the case as between
Mr. Scull and ourseif in regard to the
late contest for the revenue offices in
this district. Let everybody read the
article headed, "How JVot to do It."
THE proprietors of the Lycoming Ga.
zette have commenced the publication
of a daily, the first number of which
gives promise that the enterprise will
be successful. We wish the publishers
good luck and plenty of it.
WE are in receipt of the first number
of the Lycoming Standard, a new Dem
ocratic paper published at Williams
port, by our old friend Col. L. L. Tate,
formerly of the Columbia Democrat.
The Standard is a well printed and ably
edited paper and deserves success.
THE Legislature adjourned on Thurs
day last. May we never look upon its
like again. -

BANKRUPT LAW.— Congress having
refused to change the time of putting
this law into operation, it is presumed
that Chief Justice Chase will, as soon as
possible, proceed to the appointment of
the commissioners of bankruptcy in the
different districts of the country. What
with the wild fluctuations of the past
few years, the effects of the present pro
stration and apprehension of further
disasters in financial and business cir

thousands in thecountry who will avail
themselves of the practical benefits of
the law in order that their hands may
be untied and their energies once more
freed and made available.
"HOW SOT TO OO IT."
"In the Washington news of the 21st,
inst., we find an article running as foj-1
lows: There is a prospect for the con
firmation of Meyers (Dem.) who has
been nominated collector ot the Six
teenth District, if Scull, (Rep.) is nom
inated for Assessor in thesamedistrict.
We have seen a good deal of Somerset
trickery and are generally prepared
for almost any kind of scaly perform
ances by politicians from that section.
But we do hope to see the Senate put
its foot down upon this kindof bargain
and sale of the interests of the Union
party of this district. Scull was collec
tor formerly, and nominally edits a
paper in Somerset; the Collector's Office
effectually shut his mouth as long as he
could hang on to it, and until he was
kicked out, he was perfectly oblivious
of the treason of Andy Johnson, and
the base treachery of his good friend
Cowan. At the beginning of the pres
ent session of our Legislature he was
called to Harrisburg on urgent Rail
Road business and after a whole win
ter of railroad making at Harrisburg,
(he may have made something but we
don't see the railroad,) it seems the
same pressing duty has drawn him to
Washington. We hope the Senate will
never consent to confirm the nomina
tion of a dumb dog that will neither
bark nor bite as long as he is fed, as an
offset to Meyers. If we are to have a
trade off, by all means give us as un
tiinching a Republican as Meyers is a
Copperhead. We protest against any
such bargain and sale, but if it must
come, let us have a quid pro quo and
not a nullity."
My absence from home has prevent
ed.an earlier reply to the above rare
morceau of malignity which appeared
in the Bedford' Inquirer of the 29th
March last.
Had such base and calumnious insin
uations been preferred by political op
ponents, somei palliation might have
been found, some excuse urged on ac
count of the embittered feelings fre
quently engendered by the partizan
warfare into which my position as the
editor of a political paper has necessari
ly drawn me. But I must do my po
litical opponents the justice to say,
that during an editorial experience of
more than seventeen years I have nev
er met with such treatment at their
hands.
The petty exhibition of malice to
wards the politicians of this county,
displayed in the charges of "trickery
and scaly performances" comes with
bad grace from those who so lately ev
idenced their appreciation of fidelity to
principle, and gratitude for party ser
vices, by basely repudiating a life-long
opponent of the Democracy, a Republi
can who had borne the heat and bur
then of the day, a gentleman of talent
and virtue, who tor years had loci the
party against the overwhelming ma
jorities of our opponents, for one —a po
litical adventurer—who came into our
camp after the battle was won, and at
tempted to appropriate the fruits of our
victory. It ill becomes such cogging
knaves, whoare as full of scurvy tricks
as a beggars jacket is seamed with ver
min, to talk about Somerset politi
cians.
The atrocious charge, that the office
of Collector withheld me from a zeal
ous advocacy of the principles of the
Republican party, needs no denial a
mong those to whose doors the Herald
was a weekly visitor. It was while I
was engaged in canvassing (or address
ing) the people in behalf of the Consti
tutional amendments that I received
information of my removal, which was
based upon an article written against
the Presidential policy. 1 was at the
time a member of the State Central
<v>i>rnjittee, and Chairman of the (vani
ty c ommittee, anu m the latter capaci
ty, the result of my labors—shared with
others—will compare favorably with
that of those in Bedford county, who
have so eagerly rushed to my defama
tion. —But, because I could not, viper
like, turn upon a personal friend, after
our political paths had parted; nor
would not before my removal join in
the caluminous assaults upon the per
sonal character ofthe President, nor af
terward exhibit my wounds and whine
like a mendicant for sympathy, these
slanderers have not hesitated to call my
party fidelity into question. lama
ware that such sentiments will meet
with no appreciation from those who
have never been suspectedofentertain
inga generous feeling, or a manly self
respect, but the facts show, that rather
than surrender my judgment upon the
great political issuesof the day—l gave
up an office, the emoluments of which
would have more than purchased a
leash of such mangy whiffits as have
yelped to this assault.
A further scoundrelly intimation
is made that while at Harrisburg last
winter, I betrayed the Railroad inter
ests of this county, and "made some
thing" thereby. For more than fifteen
years I have labored, in season and out
of season, for the completion of the Con
nellsville road. At the entire sacrifice
of my private interests, I spent the
greater portion of last winter at Harris
burg without fee or reward, striving
for this road—which if completed to
morrow would not advantage me a
farthing, other than it would the poor
est man in our midst, by infusing gene
ral prosperity into the community—
and there found, one ofthe insuperable
obstacles to success, the acquiescence
of Bedford county politicians —one of
them then our Senator—in the repeal
of its charter. It is only the thief at
heart, who guages the honesty of
others, by their opportunity tfo steal.
Hence I disdain further answer to this
dastardly calumny.
Now as to the kernel of truth in this
tissue of falsehood, malice, aiyi misrep
resentation. After the rejection of
Messrs. Swope and Coif roth, Mr. Meyers
was nominatodTor Collector. Some two
weeks afterwards I went to Washington
on other business, and without previous
consultation with me, a personal friend
—not a resideutof this district—reques
ted the Secretary of the Treasurer to
send my name to the President for
nomination as Assessor. As it was
well understood that the President
would not nominate two Republicans
nor the Senate confirm two Democrats
for the.e offices, (except in rare instan
ces) and as Mr. Meyers was then at home
and knew nothing of my nomination,
the "bargain and sale" had this extent;
no more. That the confirmation of
Mr. Meyers would have prevented sub
sequent bargains by others, is true, and
it is equally true that radical democrat
as he is, in the many editorial encoun
ters I have had with him, bhavealways
found him a manly opponent, and
"truth to say" if compelled to choose
between him and the hypocritical
sneaks in my own party who sought pre
tense for this assault, it would not cause
me a moment's deliberation.
Of course I acquit the brace of sim
pering imbeciles who have p< rrnitted
their paper to be made the conduit for
this personal venom, of any malice.
They had no personal grievance to
avenge,but someeowardly k nave intent
upon venting his spleen upon Mr.
Meyers, did not hasitate to impugn my
record, and defame my character, in
order to stab him. E. S.

on the Appropriation Hill.
On theeveningof the 10th inst., in the
House, the Appropriation bill having
been reported from the committee of
conference, Mr. Boyle, Democrat, put
the following questions to the Chair
man :
Whether there was ngt an appropria
tion of $15,000 for the Governor's man
sion ; $12,000 for Washington agency;
$15,000 for Adjutant General, for which
it had been demonstrated there was an
utter want of necessity ; S3OO for chap
lain, a member of the House, and a
number of appropriations of like char
acter? And then whether the bill did
not repeal the law of 1860, granting a
pension to old soldiers of 1812?
The Chairman answered all the ques
tions in the affirmative. The report
was then opposed by lessrs. Boyle,
Headman, and Quigle.v, and supported
by Messrs. Mann, Waddell and Davis,
when the report was rejected, by a
vote of ayes 41, nays 49.
The vote was afterwards reconsidered,
and the bill recommitted totheConfer
ence Committee.
Information was then transmitted to
the Senate, when Speaker Hall ruled
that the Senate, having agreed to the
report, it could not be recommitted.
Theconferencecommitteeofthe House,
finding the Senate committeedischarg
ed, were unable to act, and thereupon
asked to be discharged. The com
mittee was accordingly discharged, by
a vote of ayes 56, nays 31. Thus the
bill, as originally agreed upon by the
joint committee of conference, was
agreed to.
The bill as adopted makes the appro
priations mentioned, above, by Mr.
Boy e; fixed the salaries of membersat
$1,000: increases the salariesof the vari
ous officials, and repeals the law of 1812/
The extravagant and useless appropri
ations mentioned by Mr. Boyle foot up
$42,300 ; theincrease to members aggre
gates $30,000 more—s72,3oo—and scores
of other useless and extravagant dona
tions run the whole up to hundreds of
thousands of dollars, (in a total bill of
over four million dollars,) and yet
those patriotic, (!) loyal, (!) soldier-lov
ing (!) Simon-Cameron Radicals refused
to grant a single cent to she few old sol
diers of the war of 1812 ! Let the peo.
pie make a note of the fact.— Patriot

TRIAL OF "LOYAL" MOBITES. —A
lawsuit of some interest has just been
decided at Logansport, Indiana, in the
Circuit Court of Cass county. The suit
originated in Miami county, and was
brought agaist the defendants, Hugh
Hanna, James Wilson and others, for
the recovery of damages, charging
them with mobbing the plaintiff, Rev.
R. H. Curran and his daughters, and
driving them from the town of Wabash,
on the 12th day of June, 1866, under
the pretense that a small peachstone
basket ornament worn by the daughter
was a butternut!
At the time the outrage wascommit
ted, Mr.Curran, who lived at Hunting
ton, was returning home from an ap
pointment G miles from "Wabash, where
he had preached to a Presbyterian con
gregation. The trial of the ease occu
pied twelve days, and at its close the
jury returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, assessing his damages at
S2OO. — Plain Dealer.
SAYS the Bedford Inquirer , "a news
paper to be truly great, ought to be fair
and impartial."'— We take it for gran
ted, that it makes no pretensions to be
"truly great," as it is neither the one
nor the other, as instance its conduct in
regard to the bill introduced by Mr.
Stutzman relative to the Southern
Pennsylvania and Connellsville Rail
road. ' That bill proposes to extend the
nine iui iiie commencement or the
road six months, and to shorten the
time allowed for its completion, Jive
years and yet the Inquirer suppressed
the latter clause, and bitterly as-ailed
Mr. Stutzman for the former.—Somer

PRIZE FlGHTlNG.—Astringent Law
against prize fighting has just been pas
j setl by the Pennsylvania Legislature.
J It makes the penalty for engaging in a
prize fight, or taking part as bottle-hol
der, a fine of more- than SI,OOO, and sol
itary imprisonment not exceeding two
years. Every person I eing present at
the fight, and encouraging the same, or
laying any bet or wager on the result
thereof, whether present or not, shall
be considered a participant therein,
and as giving encouragement thereto,
and may, at the discretion of the Court,
be punished in like manor.
A GOOD DEFFIXITIOX.—Prentice, of
the Louisville Journal, pithily and truly
says the military reconstruction scheme
is simply a law to perpetuate disunion
or to render the so-called Union a curse
when it shali be nominally restored.
That is about the best definition of the
! odious and infamous thing which we
I have seen.

A YOUNG LADY returning to her
| country home, after a sojourn of a few months in
' the city, was hardly recognized by her friends.
In place of a coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had
a soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth
ness, and instead of twenty three she really ap
peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause
of so great a change, she plainly told them
that she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and con-
EIFLORNRL IT NN INVALUABLO ACQUISITION TO ANY T.TLDY S

prove their personal appearance an hundred fold.
It is simple in its combination, as Nature herself
is simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in draw
ing impurities from, also healing, cleansing and
beautifying the skin and complexion. By its di
rect action on the cuticle it draws from it all its
impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving
the surface as Nature intended it should be, clear,
soft, smooth and beautiful. Price sl, sent by Mail

SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC.—This
medicine, invented by Dr. J. H. Scheme*, of Phil
adelphia, is intended"to dissolve the food and make
it into chyle, the first process of digestion. By
cleansing the stomach with Schenck's Mandrake
Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appetite, and food
that could not be eaten before using it wil 1 be eas
ily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck'g Pul
monic Syrup unless the stomach and liver is made
healthy and the appetite restored, hence the Tonic
and Pills are required in nearly every case of con
sumption. A half dozen bottles of the SEAWEED
TOXIC, and three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary c ise of dyspepsia.
Dr. Schenck makes professional visits in New
\ork, Boston, and at his principal office is Phila
delphia every week. See daily papers of each
place, or his pamphlet on consumption, for hisdays
of visitation.

of consumption, and the other as be now is, in per
fect health, are on the Government stamp

IMPORTANT QUALITIES. — BRAND
RETH'S PILLS SO stimulate all the interior powers
of the system that every poison or impurity is for
ced from the blood into the bowels, and thus pas
ses off. Recent cases of sickness will often be
cured by the effect of 6 or 8 Brandreth's Pills,
which, when the operation is full and complete,
leave the blood as free from poisonous and un
healthy matter as that of a new-born babe. In
colds, inflammatory diseases, and even in cholera,
their use restores to health sooner than all other
remedies, because they take from the blood and
bowels those matters upon which pains, cramps,
and aches depend for continuance.
Captain Isaac Smith, of Sim* Sing, says, thirty
of Brandreth's Pills, taken according to directions,
cured him of a very severe bronchial affection af
ter other means had failed and he wishes his nu
merous friends to know the fact.
