In our issue of week before last, we proposed that if the Radicals of this Representative district would nomi nate but one candidate for member of the Legislature, we would agree that no Democratic candidate should be placed in nomination for Poor Director. We made this proposition in good faith, in order to soothe the anxiety of the Bedford Inquirer as well in regard to Poor House affairs as to the incor ruptibility of the next Legislature. But our very liberal offer has been re jected, and it becomes the painful duty of the Democracy to elect one of their own number as Poor Director, which they will now do by a larger majority than ever was given before to any can didate for that office. The Inquirer has acknowledged, time and again, that the Legislature needs reformation. But it is unwilling to permit Democrats to be elected for that purpose. Now, then, if Radicals only are to reform the Legislature, let us see that none but Democrats are elected to reform affairs at the Poor House. The Inquirer seems to be afraid that if it were to assent to our proposition, we might be chosen by our party to represent this district in the Legislature. On that point we can only say, that Radicalism has made the title of "Member of the Legislature" synonymous with Thief and Robber, and we choose to keep clear of such company. Until the Augean stables at Harrisburg are cleaned, we prefer the "private station." Besides, legisla tive life has not the attractions for us that it is, doubtless, supposed to have by the "standing candidate" of the In quirer, who "measures our oats in his own haif bushel." To him we say that whenever we fall so low, politically, that we can't carry a single district for a party nomination, or fail to receive a half dozen votes at our own poll for such nomination, we hope at least to have sense enough left not to say or do anything which would bring us into comparison with men who have been the chosen standard-bearers of their party, when the tight raged hottest and thickest, and in victory as well as in de feat. MEXICO. The struggle between the Imperial and Liberal parties in Mexico, has end ed in the overthrow of the former, Maximilian and his lieutenants having surrendered unconditionally to Escobe do, the commander of the Juarez forces. The downfall of the ill-starred emperor has been evident ever since the with drawal of the French troops. The Lib eral army began to increase in numbers and efficiency just as soon as the last French bayonet disappeared from Mex ican soil. It had been scattered into insignificant guerrilla parties, formida ble only to travelers and unprotected trains, but from this condition it ral lied, gained a few small successes over the Imperialists, recruited, won some important victories and finally hemmed in its enemy at Queretaro, which, un der the command of Maximilian in person, made a brave and desperate re sistance, only to beeome at last, the scene of the denouement of the Franco- Austrian-Mexican empire. It is said that Juarez has determined that Max imilian and his officers shall be shot. The sympathy of Americans has been with the Liberals in their struggle to drive Maximilian from the country, but if the restoration of that party is to be signalized by so barbarous an act as the execution of the Imperial lead ers, we hardly know whether even the vindication of the Monroe Doctrine will justify us in continuing our good wishes for the "Patriot President." — Let us hope that no such tragedy wi'l wind up the Franco-Austrian farce in Mexico, but that humanity, order and peace will mark the rule of the restor ed President. All the former deprecatory acts of the man are wiped out.— lnquirer. In the name of all the lexicograph ers that ever lived, what do you mean bv "deprecatory acts?" A TASTE OF THEIR OWS HEDICINE. We see by a telegraphic report, that Gen. Swayne, one of the sub-satraps under the Reconstruction Law, com manding the post of Mobile, Ala., has suppressed the publication of the Na tional Republican, a Radical Negro or gan, on the ground that it has uttered "incendiary" matter. I'he article com plained of was one instructing the ne groes "when and how to use firearms." Now, we are for the freedom of the press all the time, no matter what cause the publisher may advocate. We deprecate the course of Gen. Swayne in regard to this Radical sheet just as much as we condemned the conduct of Lincoln's administration in closing the offices of the N. Y. Daybook and other Democratic journals throughout the North. Doubtless, the Negro organ at Mobile exceeded the bounds of law; but, then, its publisher could have been punished according to law, without forcibly stopping his press. The Rad ical party are now getting a taste of their own medicine. We sincerely hope it may cleanse their stomachs of the bile which has made them the scourge of the country. THE Inquirer calls us a "periphery" and a "rhomboid," intending thereby to describe our "roundness." The an gular trapeziums of that newspaperial parallellogram, grope about in the thick darkness of their trigonometrical ignorance, for hard names for us, who simply deal with them on the square, and lose themselves in the intricate mazes of the science of geometry. These miserable editorial parallellopipedons ought to have known that everything round, no matter how large or how small, has a "periphery," and that a "rhom boid" means something with ang lesand crooked corners like themselves, and not roundness and fatneas resulting from a good stomach and a clear con science. Go to, ye small ends of an isosceles triangle! The jubilation of the Gazette over the release of Jeff Davis.— lnquirer. When and how did the GAZETTE re joice over "the release of Jeff. Davis?" Point us to the line or sentence in which our "jubilation" over that event is ex pressed, or be forever silent. We de sire that Jefferson Davis shall be tried for Treason, by the proper civil court and by a jury of his countrymen fairly and lawfully empaneled. We want to know what constitutes Treason in this country, or whether there is any such crime as Treason. If Mr. Davis is not tried, we shall be greatly disappointed. Has the Inquirer ever demanded his trial ? Has that sheet ever urged upon Judge Chase and the Radical U. S. Dis trict Attorney for Virginia, the impor tance of having a judicial disposition of the case of Jefferson Davis? Never once! When had the Republicans the con trol of this county?— lnquirer. During three years of the time of Mr. Blymyer as Treasurer, the "Republi cans" had a majority in the Board of Poor Directors, in the persons of Messrs. Shuck and Trout, and during those years mistakes to the amount of about $3,000 occurred. During that time the whole Poor House machine, Director, Treasurer, Steward, Clerk and all, were under the control of the "Republicans." And it is for these $3,000 of "Republi can" mistakes that the Democrats, ac cording to the Inquirer , are to be held responsible. A pretty way of getting rid of an unpleasant responsibility, truly! Our friend across the corner is "go ing" for Horace Greely most lovingly. —lnquirer. Not so fast, Bro. Lutz! We think Horace Greely one of the most danger ous men, because one of the shrewdest, in your party. He became surety for Jefferson Davis, because he hopes by so doing to make friends for his party, among the white people of the South. Of course, "narrow-minded block heads" can't see the drift of Horace's magnanimity. Our neighbor intimates that we have been in the substitute business. Not that we know of. We can confidently say that we never put in a substitute. Can our neighbor say as much? — In quirer. You meant to say, "Can our neighbor say as little?" No! most emphatically, not! We did put in a substitute, al though never drafted. You pleaded "varicose veins," and "near-sighted ness," and one could always tell when a draft was to be made, by Bro. Lutz' gait. BLOCKIIEADM vs. COPPERHEADS. Horace Greely having dubbed those people who disapprove his course in bailing Jeff. Davis, "narrow-minded blockheads," it is at last settled what is to be the generic title of the pie-bald and mongrel opposition to the Demo cratic party. "The Blockheads" will sound very well as a set-off to "Copper heads." —President Johnson has accepted the invitation to visit Boston the 24th of June.

Dixson and James Doyle, three Broad Toppers, crossing the field of Mr. John Crain in hot pursuit of a coon. Zeigler and Dixon led the hunt. Doyle ran well too, but a good way behind. The coon being too close pursued took ref fuge in an old barn, climbed to the roof and strange to relate, was brought down in Davy Crocket style, wthout injury to either captors or coon. His coonship is now domiciled in a small habitation at the residence of Mr. Crain, prepared by the parties who captured an old coon without the assistance of dogs. S. Brooks, Esq., and R. Divelbliss were the delighted witnesses of the chase.— Hunt. Monitor. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— A daring high way robbery was perpetrated upon George W. Kuhns, a resident of this place, while iij a buggy on the road leading to Glatz's Ferry, in Hellaui township. The affair occurred on Sun day of last week. As Mr. Kuhns was driving along, he was asked by John Wolf, a citizen of Hellam township, for a seat in his buggy. Mr. Kuhns con sented. Shortly afterwards heattempt ed to take something from Mr. Kuhns' pocket, whereupon a scuffle ensued be tween them. About this time three men, strangers, came to the assistance of Wolf, when Mr. Kuhns finding re sistance against so many, useless, ran off to the nearest house. As soon as he was able to procure some assistance, he returned and found his horse, coat, and buggy where he had left them in the road. His pocket book, containing a small sum of money, was taken. The robbery was one of the most daring and reckless on record, and we hope, for the sake of travellers that the per petrators may be apprehended and punished, as an example to others who feel disposed to commit similar outra ges.— York Gazette. D A R*l N G ROBBERY.— On Friday morning last, between three and four o'clock, a safe in tne drugstore of John Read, of this place, was blown open with powder, by burglars. The thieves entered the store, by a back window, and finding the safe behind the count er, had drawn it out to the centre of the room, and placed powder in the key-hole. It is thought the safe ex ploded about the time the trains were passing, the sound of which deadened the report. Money to the amount of about $lOO is thought to have been taken from it. The safe was complete ly bursted, which revealed the fact that it was a very unsafe affair at best, being bound with thin sheet iron lined with boards, and filled in with clay of a common kind. The thieves have not been arrested, and we would caution our people to beware of a repetition of such outrages, and advise them to leave as little money in their safes as possi ble.—Hunt. Globe. COUNTERFEIT NOTES.— Kennedy's Bank Review for May cautions the pub lic against recieving the new and dan gerous imitations of the $2 bills of the National Bank. They are gotten up in a style well calculated to deceive. The following marks of distinction may assist in detecting these bills : In the first place the signatures of both President and Cashier are printed, while in all genuine bills the names are invariably written. The letters"t" and "s" in the title "Pres't," in the o riginal are separated by the apostrophe. In the counterfeit the near figure of the two females, sitting in the lower right is almost invisible; in the genuine it is very clear and distinct. The back of the bill isstill morebunglingly made than the front. The green is pale and poor, and in the true bill no letters a long the top touch on the green border, while in the spurious the words are partly printed on the green entirely a cross. The picture plate is too large for the green border. The Negro Riot in Danville, Va.—'The I n i('
