WHAT d~es the Inquirer think of
Horace Greely, by this time? Horace
Greely, the man who bailed Jeff. Davis
out of prison!
UNDER whose administration oc
curred the first and heaviest deficits in
the Poor House account? Under that
of Gideon D. Trout and George D.
Shuck, Republican Poor Directors.
Who discovered and rectified those
deficits? The present Democratic board
of Poor Directors and the present Dem
ocratic Steward.
THE PHARISEES HOWE.
The New York Tribune , whose chief
e litor, Horace Greely, is one of the
sureties for Jefferson Davis, says, the
"Pharisees are howling" over the re
lease of the ex-president of the ex-Con
federacy. That is a good name for
your partizans, Mr. Greely! Pharisees!
Hit them again !
LONGSTREET A RADICAL.
The telegraph announces that the
Rebel General James Longstreet was
one of the Vice Presidents of the Radi
cal meeting lately addressed in New
Orleans, by Senator Wilson. Disun
ionists will flock together. A pretty
mixture the "Republican" party is get
ting to be —Abolitionists, Rebels and
Niggers!
of the Old Democratic Party and the
Copperhead Party twelve or fifteen
years to discover a small deficit in the
Poor House account, which, it isalleged,
should have occurred under theadmin
istration of Messrs. Shuck and Trout,
is it not about time that the whole par
ty were kicked out "without the bene
fit of the clergy," and somebody placed
there who can keep the accounts cor
rectly ?— lnquirer.
As the "combined wisdom" of the
Old Whig Party, the Know Nothings,
People's Party, Republicans, Aboli
tionists, and Ladieal party, during
"twelve or fifteen years," was not suffi
cient to discover that "small deficit,"
ought any such dunderheads be per
mitted to have anything to do with
"keeping the accounts?" That's the
question!
THE RE are black sheep in every flock,
but there are so few of them in the
Democratic party, that when one is
found there is a general yelp of aston
ishment from the Abolitionists whoare
quite accustomed to the society of such
animals. The absquatulation of the
late District Attorney of this county,
is an instance. The conduct of that
official deserves the severest reproba
tion, but the less such creatures as Geo.
Bergner say about matters of this kind
the better it will be for their own char
acter. The editors of the Bedford In
quirer will also have enough to do if
they keep their own door-way clean.
Little speculations in bounties, substi
tutes, &c., have been known to help
some' Abolition newspaper establish
ments amazingly. Let such fellows
skiu their own skunks.
A IROIOSITION.
The Bedford Inquirer , as well as a
large number of other Radical papers
in this State, have denounced the last
Legislature as the most corrupt body
that ever assembled on the face of the
earth. The Inquirer has said, "Another
such Legislature will sink us!" At
the same time, as a partial set-off to
the corruption of its own partizans,
that paper sets up a howl about the
Poor House accounts. Now, if the In
quirer and its party will agree to run
but one CBndidate for the Legislature
in this district, so that one Democrat
may be elected, we will agree that no
candidate for Poor Director shall be run
by the Democrats of this county. A i
change in the Legislature is certainly
needed, by the Inquirer's own admis
sion. What say you, oh! ye virtuous
fellows around the corner? Is it a bar- j
gain?
A HI'ESTIOS.
The Inquirer , of last week, has an
article reflecting upon the Southern
whites for trying to control the Negro
vote. Of course, in the opinion of the
Inquirer , nobody in the South has anj
right to ask a negro to vote for him ex
cept some Yankee spoon-thief acting in
the capacity of "Agent of the Freed
men'sßureau." Well, perhaps,negroes
ought to vote for such fellows, for no
body else will. In connection with
this subject, will the Inquirer please
inform us whether its party is in favor
of giving the negroes the same rights
in Pennsylvania which it has forced
upon them in the South ? Is the Radi
cal parti/ in favor of Negro Suffrage in
Pennsylvania f
"Since there is no difference of opin
ion between the Gazette and the IN
QUIRER in regard to Mr. Blymyer's
responsibility for the deficit which was
discovered in the Poor Ilouseaccounts,
will the Gazette be kind enough to state
who is responsible for it? Mr. Bly
myer, it is admitted on all hands, is
NOT responsible. Now come up square
ly and tell us WHO is. The people want
to know."
"Itisa well known fact that the Coun
ty Auditors settle the accounts between
the county and the Treasurer of the
Poor House Fund, and NOTTHEDIREO
TOKS. We believe this to be all wrong,
nevertheless, it is the case and those
gentlemen—Shuck and Trout—knew
as little abont the settlement of the
Poor House Accounts as any other
individual who read the published
statement."
The above articles appeared, separ
ately, as editorials in the last Inquirer.
The reader will observe the complete
backing-down of that paper so far as
Mr. Blymyer and the Poor Directors
are concerned. It declares that "it is
admitted on all hands that Mr. Bly
myer is NOT responsible, and, in tire
second article, it states that the Poor
Directors have nothing to do with the
settlement of the Poor House Accounts.
Let this be borne in mind. The In
quirer entirely exculpates the Poor Di
rectors as well as Mr. Blymyer. But it
wants to know who is responsible.
The Inquirer may guess its own conun
drums. We will propound one in re
turn. Is any body responsible for any
deficiency when the county loses noth
iUg?
LINCOLN ON NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
The sayings of that sainted personage
whose apotheosis is claimed by ail who
believe that a man who dies in a thea
tre, goes straight to heaven, ought to
have some weight with those who be
lieved in him while living and affect
to worship him now that he is dead.
Of course the lunatics who are bent on
rroinff the nearest road to the devil,, vvijl
their <Ltrlin(j "Old xtw." x-itil them
go. The sooner they get to their journ
ey's end, the better for the country.
But there are, (at least there ought to
be) some few scattered admirers of
Abraham Lincoln, who may be induced
to hear what he had to say upon the
momentous question which is now be
ing pushed upon the consideration of
the people. To such we affectionately
commend the following, which is an
extract from a speech delivered by Mr.
Lincoln in a debate with Mr. Douglas,
at Charleston, 111., September 18, 1858.
31 r Lincoln said :
"While I was in the hotel to-day, an
elderiy gentleman called upon ine to
know if I was really in favor of pro
ducing a perfect equality between the
negroes and the white people. I Will
say, then, that lam not, nor ever have
been in favor of making voters or jurors
of negroes, nor of qualifying them to
holdoffice, nor tointermarry with white
people, and I will say in addition to
this, that there is a physical difference
between the black and white races,
which I believe will forever prohibit the
two races from ever living on terms of
social and political equality. And, inas
much as theycannotso live, whilethey
do remain together there must be the
position of superior and inferior, and I,
as much as any other man, am in favor
of having the superior position assigned
to the white race."
Mark well that Mr. Lincoln said
"there. is a physical difference between the•
black and white races which I believe
will forever prohibit thetwo races from
ever living on terms of social and po
litical equality." Ah! how these mod
ern advocates of "political and social
equality without respect to color or
race," give the lie to the apostle whose
teachings they profess to follow! It is
enough to make the bones of the "mar
tyr President" rattle in their coffin,
such perversion of his doctrines, such
flat contradiction of his political opin
ions. Shame, shame upon you, mod
ern "Republicans."
MORE RADICAL DENUNCIATION OF
THE LATE LEGISLATURE!
The appended expose of the extrava
gance of the late Radical Legislature,
is taken from the Lancaster Examiner,
the home organ of Thaddeus Stevens.
It will lie seen that the Examiner refers
to an official copy of the appropriation
bills passed by the last Legislature, as
authority for its figures. It appears that
in three years, the expenses of the Leg
islature alone, have increased $115,000!
That is it cost $115,000 more to run the
Legislature of 1867 than that of 1864.
Did Messrs. Welier and Richards, of
this district, vote against this appropri
ation bill? Will some of their friends
please inform the public whether they,
too, did not acquiesce in this scheme of
wholesale plunder? We ask for infor
mation, as we did not get to see a single
copy of the Legislative Record for the
last session, and, therefore, cannot, at
present, speak by the book. For this
time let the testimony of the Lancaster
Examiner , suffice, for it convicts the
Radicals of the last Legislature, as a
body, of the most unparallelled and
corrupt extravagance.
READ!
From the Lancaster Examnier, Rad.
We are indebted to the Hon. I. B.
Gara, Deputy Secretary of the Com
monwealth, for an official copy of the
acts of the last Legislature, making
the ordinary appropriations for the ex
penses of the State government and
other general and
Instead of being "ordinary" they had
better be designated "extraordinary"
appropriations. "Ordinary," is cer
tainly a misapplied word in this bill.
It is a most alarming document for
the tax-payers of the State to contem
plate. For reckless and proflgate ex
travagance it has never been equalled
in the history of this Commonwealth.
For the last few years the appropria
tion bills have been gradually growing
in magnitude. When this last one had
gone through the first process of incu
bation by both houses, nearly a million
dollars more had been "appropriated"
than the whole revenues of the State
amounted to. But the vigilant State
Treasurer gave these virtuous Solons
notice that somebody would have to go
unpaid, if a bill so proflgate in appro
priations was allowed to become a law,
which it did not. As it passed, how
ever, it is worse than any that had pre
ceded it.
Since 18G5 there has been an increase
in salaries in the appropriation bills,
and offices alone, involving annually
an expenditure of not less than from
fifty to a hundred thousand dollars.
Every year some trifle— a few hundred
dollars* or a thousand, is added to some
body's salary, or some "friend "of some
body is slipped into a snug place with
nothing to do but draw his salary.
We do not intend to compare all the
different items of this bill with other
appropriation bills, to show how sev
eral hundred thousand dollars are
recklessly appropriated and how this
extravagance has grown in a few years.
But we will confine our comparison
for the present to two items which we
think will be sufficient to convince our
readers that this disposition to vote
away the hard earned dollars of the
tax payers has gone far enough, and
that they had better be looking after
those who are sent to legislate for them
a little more in the future than they
have in the past. We will compare
the appropriations of 1807 with those
of 18(54.
By section 27 of the appropriation
bill of 1864 was appropriated for the
payment of the expenses of the Legis
lature, including pay and mileage of
members, clerks, <fcc., $150,000.
By section 24 of the bill of 1867 was
appropriated for the payment of theex
penses of the Legislature, including
pay and mileage of memoers, clerks,
Ac., $265,000; showing an increase in
three years of the small sum of one
hundred and fifteen thousand dollars.
Now let us look at another item. In
1864 by section 23 of the appropriation
bill, was appropriated for law judges,
not including Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh, $73,000.
By the act of 1867, section 20, for the
same judges is appropriated fllp.OOOj.
aToiVe.
The two items foot up the round sum
of ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
We merely give these two items be
cause they serve our purpose to show at
what a fearful rate reckless and faithless
men can squander the taxes of the peo
ple, and by their unnecessary and un
called for liberality to themselves and
others, divert the money of the people
from its legitimate and proper use, the
payment of the State debt. Almost
every section of this bill shows the
same liberality towards those who draw
their sustenance from the State Treas
ury. It is a question which the peo
ple ought to be looking after. The
remedy rests with them in the selec
tion of representatives. If men are
elected who are either incompetent, or
venal and corrupt, profligate with their
own or other people's money, drunk
ards or gamblers, it cannot be expected
that they will prove either prudent or
economical legislators.
The cry now is, tha't corruption and
extravagance is not alone tobe found at
Harrisburg; but at the capitols of
other States, Albany, Trenton, &c\, the
same evil is sapping the foundations of
the law making powers.
WIDE AWAKE.—Our excellent Dem
ocratic neighbors of Bedford County
are awake and putting on their armor
for the big victory that surely will be
next fall. The energetic of
their County Committee, J. W. Dick
erson. Esq., has issued a call for die
Annual Convention of the party to
meet in Bedford on the 18th of June.
A number of announcements for office
(alwaysa sign of life in a party) appear
in the Gazette; and the Gazette itself
begins to quicken its usual adroit keen
thrusts at the enemy, betokening in
every line its self-satisfied appreciation
of the fact, that a big tight is on hands
and that we are 'going in to win.' To
all of which responds Fulton County
Amen.—-Fulton Democrat.
MILITARY DESPOTISM is costly.—
Like war itself it eats into the resour
ces of the people. IT is a bad animal to
be yoked up with civil government,
under a common flag. Already we hear
of its evil effects in Virginia, and other
States. The registry lists are made
out by military commanders—a mock
ery upon Republican government;
and"sei?e hundred officers' 1 ' 1 are required
as clerks and asistants, in Virginia a
lone, to make out the lists. The law
is that white men shall be very gener
ally .disfranchised at the South, and
negroes enfranchised—so it requires a
vast deal of labor to do business.—
Richmond is already full of "loyal"
office-seekers, who are eager to prey
upon the people's money. The wit of
man could not devise a precedent
more dangerous to Republican institu
tions than this military despotism, no
matter whether its pretext was recon
struction" or oppression.

Coi LISION ON THE BRAN, H.— The
Branch engine, which was making an
extra trip to Altoona last Tiiursday,
attempted to pass the freight train at
Baker's siding, but the track being a
single one, it proved a smashing fail
ure—the result being two used up en
gines and several wrecked cars. For
tunately'no person was injured—thanks
to the jumping abilities of the engi
neers, firemen and brakemen, but no
thanks to those who sent the freight
train out ahead of time. — HoUidayshurg

PRESERVING FURS.— The following
for preserving furs will interest our la
dy readers about now: One ounce gum
camphor, and one ounce powdered shell
of red pepper, are macerated in eight
ounces of strong alcohol for seven days
and then strained. With this tincture
the furs and clothes are sprinkled over
and rolled up in sheets. This remedy
is used in Russia, under the name of
"Chinese tincture for moths," and is
found very effective.
—lt is already understood to be the
purpose of Jeff. Davis to set to work
writing a book—giving a history of the
secession movement, the Southern
struggle, and his own adventures from
December, 1860, to May, 1867.
KENTUCKY ELECTION.
Democratic Majority in the Slate
42,000.
LOUISVILLE, May 14.—Returns to- *
day indicate the certain election of j
Adams over Rice in Randall's District I
by a majority of 800. Young's majority I
over McKee in the Ninth District is a- j
bout 1,200. The Democratic majority j
in the entire State over both the other
parties combined is about 42,000, as fol- 1
lows: First District, 8,000; Second
District, 4,591; Third, 6,000; Fourth, •<
5,414; Fifth, 3,582; Sixth, 5,641; Sev- ]
enth, 6,724; Eighth, 800; Ninth, 1,200. <
THE POLITICAL REACTION.— In the
last, or thirty-ninth Congress, the Con- .
gressional representation in the two ;
States of Connecticut and Kentucky
was as follows : (
Denis. Rails.
Connecticut, 4
Kentucky, 5 4
5 8
In the Fortieth, or present Congress,
this is the result :
Denis. Rads.
Connecticut, 3 1
Kentucky, 9
12 1
It thus appears that in these States
the Democrats have gained seven mem
bers.makingachange of fourteen against
the Radicals. At this rate with a few
1 more States to elect to the present Con
! gross, the state of public feeling is such
that we would soon overcome the Rad
ical majority, great as it now is.
A ReninrUable Change in tlie Eighth Dis
trict ot° Kentucky.
Adams is beyond all doubt elected
in this district over Rice, the Radical
candidate. He has eight hundred and
thirty-one majority, with Clay, Harlan,
.Jackjson, Letcher, Perry and Wolfe to
hear from. Clay, which gave Hobson
four hundred and thirty-eight majority,
has gone for Adams. Adams' majori
ty in the district will probably be a
bout eight hundred.— Louisville Cour
ier.
This district last year gave over five
thousand majority for Hobson. The
change in it has been wonderful.
DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.— At the
I municipal election in \\ illiamsport,
! Lycoming county, on the 15th, Dr. W.
F. Logan, the Democratic candidate for
Mayor, was elected by 87 majority—a
gain of 161 votes. Last spring the
Radical candidate had 104 majority.
This is a most signal triumph, and en
titles the Democracy of that little city
to unbounded praise.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., May 17. —At
the municipal election, held in this city
on Wednesday, Hon. J. B. Stark,
Democrat, was elected Mayor by two
hundred and sixty-eight majority over
Colonel E. B. Harvy, Radical, (present
Mayor,). Harvey's majority last year
was four hundred.

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 bu r . eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause
of so great a change, she plainly told them
that she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and con
sidered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady's
toilet. By its use any Lady or Gentleman can im
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 impuriiies 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
