TY COMMITTEE.
In another column appears a call for
a meeting of the Democratic County
Committee, in this place, on Tuesday
next. In our experience, the meetings
of the County Committee, have been
utter failures. We have never known
more than one-third of the members to
attend, and some of those that did at
tend, merely looked in at the place of
meeting and then took their departure.
Now, to the County Committee are
entrusted the interests of the party.
This trust is placed in their hands by
the County Convention. Hence, it is
the duty of members of this Committee
to attend the meetings called by its
chairman, and to take part in its delib
erations and the transaction of its bus
iness. Sometimes we hear a growl a
bout a few "wire-workers" in Bedford
managingtheuffairsofthe party. Why,
then, do not the country members of
the Committee take a little more inter
est in those affairs? Suppose that the
"wire-workers" in Bedford borough
took no part in urging forward the
Democratic column, what would you
think bf them? Wouldn't you consid
er them a set of worthless drones?
These reflections occurred to us as we
read the call of the Chairman of the
County Committee, published else
where. We print them with the hope
that they will put a little mo-elife and
mettle into the members of the Com
mittee, and that they may have the de
sired effect of bringing out a full meet
ing on Tuesday next. Will not every
member attend ?
ini'KACHME.Vr !
A Majority of Uo Jinlieiary lommillce
iScuart in favor of liic
President!
The Judiciary Committee of the
House of Representatives at Washing
ton, to which were referred the charges
against President Johnson, has repor
ted in favor of impeachment! The
Committee is composed of nine mem
bers, seven Radicals and two Demo
crats. Until lately three of the Radi
cal members of the committee, opposed
impeachment, and with the help of
the two Democrats, formed an anti
impeachment majority. However,
when the Committee was ready to re
port, one of the three Radicals who had
opposed impeachment up to that time,
suddenly "changed his views," and
joined the four Radical impeachers,
thus giving the latter a majority of the
Committee, which then stood five for,
to four against, impeachment. The
five Radicals who favored impeach
ment, viz: Bout well, of Massachusetts,
Francis Thomas, of Maryland, Wil
liams, of Pennsylvania, Lawrence, of
Ohio, and Churchill, of New York,
then signed a report setting forth their
views; a minority report, declaring the
President innocent of the charges pre
ferred against him, but censuring him
for not acting with the Radical party
in its Reconstruction schemes, was
signed by the two dissenting Radicals,
Woodbridge, of Vermont, and Wilson,
of lowa, which latter is the chairman
of the Judiciary Committee; and anoth-
er minority report, vindicating the
President politically, as well as legally,
was made lip by the two Democratic
members of the Committee, Marshall,
of Illinois, and Eld ridge, of Wisconsin.
Thus the Judiciary Committee, by a
bare majority, has recommended the
grave and dangerous step of impeach
ment. We do not believe that the Na
tional House of Representatives, will
sustain the report of the majority of the
Committee. Doubtless, they would if
they dared. The spirit is willing, but
the flesh is weak. The only harm that
is to be feared from this impeachment
movement, is the effect it will have up
on the business interests of the country.
Financial matters are even now in a
critical condition. Should the Radi
cals in Congress make a persistent ef
fort to carry through their scheme to
depose the President, there will be
great peril of a monetary callapse. But,
although the majority of Radical Con
gressmen may vote to sustain the report
of the Judiciary Committee, there is a
strong minority of their party, who,
with the Democrats, will be able to de
feat it. Hence, we consider Impeach
ment, the darling scheme of Radical
ism, dead beyond the reach of revivifi
cation. It stinks already in the nos
trils of the people, and it will not be
long until the Radical leaders will pray
that they may be delivered from "the
body of this death."
THE next session of the Pennsylva
nia Legislature is approaching. We
note this fact in order that J. Cessna,
Esq., may not forget that he is to have
that Prohibitory Liquor Law, which he
was appointed to draft, ready for the
consideration of our PennsylvaniaSo
lons. Now, John, don't you forget!
GR IVT BEFORE THEJI DICITRY COM
MIITEE.
We have before us a copy of the tes
timony given by Gen. U. S. Grant be
fore the Judiciary Committee of the
National House of Representatives. j
Gen. Grant testifies that President
Johnson originally desired to punish
General Lee and the other principal
Confederate officers, as well as the
civil leaders of the rebellion, but that j
he (Grant) dissuaded him from carry
ing out his intention. Grant says:
"The President insisted that they
should be punished. 1 told him not so
long as they obeyed the lairs and com
plied irith the stipulations of their surren
der. That wastheground I took." Fur
ther on he says that the President
changed his views upon this subject,
conforming them to those entertained
by himself. To a question in re
lation to this change of views on the
part of the President, Gen. Grant
answered: "When I said that the
President's views underwent a change,
I meant that while I was contending for
the rights which those paroled rebel sol
diers had, he was insisting on it that
they should be punished.'''' Grant also
testifies that he recommended the par
don of General Robert E. Lee, Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston and other Con feder
ates. But the following is, perhaps,
more important than any other part
of the General's evidence: "I will
state here that before Mr. Lincoln's
assassination the question about issuing
a proclamation of some sort and estab
lishing some sort of civil government
there (in the revolted states) was up,
and what teas done then was continued
after Mr. Johnson came into office ." And
again:
"Mr. Lincoln prior to his assassina
tion had inaugurated a policy intend
ed to restore those governments. /
was present once before his murder when
a plan was read. The plan adopted by
Mr. Johnson was substantially the
i plan which had been inaugurated by
, Mr. Lincoln as the basis for his future
action. Ido not know that it was verba-
Idm the same. I think the very paper
■ which I heard read twice white Mr. Lin
! coin was President, was the one which
! was carried right through."
It thus appears from Gen. Grant's
sworn statement, that President John
\ son desired to bring the Confederate
leaders, even the paroled Generals, to
trial, and that Gen. Grant prevented
\ him from executing his purpose. It ap
pears, further, that Grant recommend
! e<l many Confederates for pardon, a
mong them the two most eminent mili
tary men connected with the rebellion,
Generals Lee and Johnston. And last
and most remarkable of all, it turns
out, as stated under oath by Gen. Grant,
that Johnson has only been trying to car
ry out Lincoln's policy! In the face
of this testimony, how can the revilers
and persecutors of the President, stand
up and face the American people?—
How can they prate about "Johnson's
treachery," or denounce the men who
support him, when they find that Grant
himself, their beau ideal of a patriot,
acknowledges, under oath, that he
(Grant) dissuaded Johnson from his
purpose of "punishing traitors and
m iking treason odious?" Nay, how
can they say oue word against Johnson's
i "policy," when they discover that
Grant has sworn that Johnson had
' merely undertaken to carry out the
plan of the late lamented Lincoln ? If,
I after this, the Radicals continue their
i opposition to the President, it follows,
as a logical conclusion, that Grant is
taken by thein to have committed per
jury, and Lincoln to have been guilty
j of "disloyalty."
ri! i'l'..vioi s siiijrs.
The Philadelphia Press, Harrisburg
Telegraph i Franklin Repository, Somer
set llerahl <C- Whig, and many other
quondam Radical papers in this State,
have recently changed their politics.
These papers all support Grant for
President, Grant, the man who inter
fered to prevent President Johnson
from "umiGhiny tmitoiu and making
treason odious," Grant, the man who
recommended Lee and Joe Johnston
for pardon, Grant, the man who.wrara
that .Johnson is carrying out the policy
of Abraham Lincoln, dee'd. The
whole Radical party of this county, too,
were converted at last Court. The
Radical mass meeting at the Court
House, on Tuesday night, 10th ult.,
unanimously adopted a resolution fav
oring the nomination of this endorser
of applications for the pardon of "trai
tors," this witness who swears that
Johnson is only a copy of Lincoln.
With such wholesale accessions to the
ranks of the "Copperheads" ;tnd
"Northern Traitors," what will become
of the country ? Is it not in imminent
peril ? Will not "greenbacks" beabol
ished, nay, will not the "Maryland
militia" invade Pennsylvania and lay
waste our farms, and despoil our hous
es? To arms! to arms! ye Radical
braves! There's treason in the camp,
—treason! treason! treason!
THE Bedford Inquirer doesn't hoist
Grant. What's the matter? Does that
paper dare to set at defiance the will
of the assembled multitude of Tuesday
night of last Court week ?
II.%! IIA! IIA! NRNI A NOMINEE!
And now we must jog the memory j
of our neighbors, the editors of the
Franklin Repository. Do you remem
ber, gentlemen, how vigorously you
scolded Mr. Johnson for failing to
"punish traitors and to make treason
odious? Do you remember how you
raged and stormed because lie adopted j
a certain policy with regard to the se
ceded states? You cannot have forgot
ten. Nay, even now you rant and blus
ter about "my policy" and "Johnson's
treachery." Well, how is it with you
now, when your candidate for Presi
dent in 18fi8, sirears before the Judiciary
Committee of Congress, that Johnson
wanted to "punish traitors," &e., but
that he (Grant) prevented him from so do
ing? How is it with you, now, when >
this same Grant sirears that he recom
mended the pardon of Lee and Joe
Johnston an 1 other leading "traitors?"
Nay, how is it with you, when this pet
candidate of yours, this Grant, sirears
that uohnson is endeavoring to "carry
through" the identical plan adopted by
the late lamented "Government" Abra
ham Lincoln? Come,now,gentlemen
of the Repository, do tell us how you
"feel" on these questions ! Your
friends would like to know how you re
concile your opposition to Johnson
with your support of Grant, the father
of Johnson's policy; how you can damn
the President with your Radical ana
themas, for pardoning rebels, and sup
port Grant for recommending thesame
rebels for pardon ; how you can hunt
down and persecute Johnson for car
rying out a policy which Grant testi
fies, under oath, is the same that was j
adopted by your own Lincoln. We
would like to see the logical presligia- !
tiou by which such feats are accom
plished. Presto! change! Now you see
it, and now you don't see it! In this
column the Repository consigns John
son to everlasting infamy, in that it
lauds Grant, the preceptor of Johnson,
to the seventh heaven! Signor Blitz,
Professor Anderson, and all the rest
of the conjuring brotherhood, look to
your laurels! The great prestigiator
and professor of Radical legerdemain,
who presides over the columns of the
Franklin Repository, "is coming!"
THE Inquirer might as well answer
that oft propounded question of ours,
Js it in favor of the establishment of Ne
gro Suffrage in Pennsylvania f As one
of its editors has publicly declared him
self in the affirmative on this question,
and as the elections are over and a
plain and honest answer could not in
jure its party just now, we look for an
early forth-coming of the long expected
reply.
GEX. HANCOCK has thrown a bomb
shell into the Radical ranks by declar
ing that the American people must
still be free, that we are still entitled
to the right of the Habeas Corpus, trial
by jury, protection in person and pro
perty, and other franchises lately sup
posed by Radical politicians to be ob
solete. Three cheers and a "tiger" for
Hancock!
SOME How-or-other, the negroes in
South Carolina failed to come up to
the Radical scratch. Although out
numbering the whites two to one, they
did not carry the Reconstruction Con
vention, a majority of the registered
voters not being polled. Is it possible
that General Apathy has got down
among the South Carolina "niggers"?
NEW HAMPSHIRE is coming! The
Democrats carried Portsmouth by 50
majority, and came within 00 oi carry
ing Dover, at the late town elections.
Last year the former gave nearly 200,
and the latter over 100, Radical majori
ty.
lk> unto others as you wouldn't do
unto yourselves. This is the morality
of Radicalism. Force Negro Suprema
cy upon the South, but vote down Ne
gro Suffrage in Ohio, Kansas and Min
nesota. Magnificent Christians, eh?
WHAT has becomeol' Phil. Sheridan?
that "bustiiP " Radical martyr, the
Duke of Orleans? We hear nothing of
him since the elections. Why don't
his friends keep him on parade?—
Have they no more use for him ?
—Gen. Hancock, on taking charge of
the Fifth Military District, on the2Uih,
declared in special orders that hence
forward the civil authority should be
held superior to tiie military in all ca
ses except armed insurrection or forci
ble resistance to the laws, lie an
nounces that "the great principles of
American liberty still are the lawful
inheritance of this people and ever
should be. The right of trial by jury,
the habeas corpus, the liberty ot the
press, the freedom of speech, and the
natural rights of person, the rignts ot
property, must be preserved. Free in
stitutions, while they are essential to
the prosperity and happiness of the
people, always furnish the strongest in
ducements to peace and order. Crimes
and offenses committed 111 this district
must be referral to the consideration
and judgment of the regular civil au
thorities, and those tribuuals will oe
supported in their lawful jurisdiction."
Tliere is a notable contrast between this
commencetiieQtand that ofUrand Duke
Philip.
For the Garettr.
"THE newspaper is a sermon for the
thoughtful, a library l'or the poor, and a
blessing to everybody. Lord Brough
ham called it the best public instruc
tor."
Mr Editor:—The above extract is ta
ken from the last issue of the Inquirer,
whose editors have themselves extract
ed the saying from some other paper.
We fully agree Avith them, on certain
conditions. "The newspaper is a ser
mon for the thoughtful and a blessing
to everybody," "the best public in
structor." This is fully acknowledged,
provided the newspaper is a vehicle
of truthful, sound information ; but if
it becomes a propagator of falsehood
and calumny, it ceases-to be a bless
ing to everybody, a public instructor.
Now, "the Inquirer''' 1 is an illustration
of this doctrine. For in the very same
issue in which it truly sets forth the
glorious prerogatives of a true newspa
per, it shows its own utter want of
them. It lias in this issue published
the basest lies, the foulest calumnies,
against an un-offynding portion of our
fellow-citizens, witness the article
which it has published under the head
ing, "A cage of Unclean Birds." It is
no excuse that that article of defama
tion, was copied from another bigoted
paper ; for, according to the old adage,
" The receiver is us fytd as the thief." So
the receiver, or endorser, of printed
lies, or forged crimes, of blackest cal
umnies, against any individual or com
munity, is as bad as the original inven
tor.
It is truly strange and worthy of all
reprobation, that a paper designed for
politics, a paper that we take to he in
formed about the news of the day and
important political occurrences, shou'd
go out of its sphere and dabble in re
ligious, or rather irreligious, denunci
ations, in exciting unchristian feelings,
and uncharitable sentiments against a
religious community. In conclusion
we entirely coincide with the extract
which we have taken from the In
quirer's columns, for the heading of
this communication ; but, we must, at
the same time, observe that though the
Inquirer , on this point, is sound iu doc
trine, it is rotten in practice. If the In
quirer wants to be a true paper, viz: a
sermon for the thoughtful, a library
for die poor and a blessing to everybody,
it must cease publishing lies aud cal
umnies against any religious body—or
any body whatsoever.

ST. Louis, NOV. 30.—A North Platte
dispatch dated the 27 instant, says that
"Spotted Tail with three hundred of
his tribe have been here since Saturday,
waiting the arrival of the commission
ers. Half a dozen of the Ogallallas are
also here, with their chief Blue Horse.
"Spotted Tail says that no more In
dians will come. He is anxious to get
the annuities for his tribe,and return to
his camp at Willow Creek. In a speech
to-day Spotted Tail said he was unwil
ling to go to Washington until peace
had been made with the Northern In
dians, and the treaty signed. He is
willing to go to Fort Phil Kearney in
the spring and sign the treaty with the
Indians, all together.
"Generals Harney and Stan born, and
Indian xYgents Beamas and Jack How
land arrived to-night, by the way of
Cheyenne.
"Spotted Tail has since expressed his
willingness to visit Washington, it al
lowed to take his five wives with him.
"General Harney's aid. Col. Tappan,
will remain over to satisfy the clamor
of the Indians for goods.
"The Northern Indians are still belli
gerent. On the Gth inst., a sutler's
train, escorted by Lieut. Shirly and
forty soldiers, was attacked at Fenian
Creek, twenty miles above Fort Phil.
Kearney, by Red CI aid's band. Lieut.
Shirley'was shot through the foot, and
two men killed. The Indians ran oil
six wagons, containing goods valued at
$20,000. They numbered 300, and
some of the Crow tribe were among
them. , r ...
"On the 15th fourteen Indians led by
Big Bear's sons,came within two miles
of Fort Laramie and ran olf 70 head of
horses and mules.
"The herders followed the band for
forty-five miles accompanied by Capt.
Welles's company of the 2d Cavalry, but
were not able to overhaul them.
"The Indians are on the war-path,
and it is supposed are waiting for the
soldiers, expecting to decoy tiiem into

We wish somebody would give
publican impartial, accurate account
of what took place during the war in
the Old Capitol Prison. Think of A
merican citizens being snatched up and
held in confinement one, two, and even
three months, denied all communica
tion with their friends, and charged ex
tortionate prices for what they desired.
And when the facts are investigated,
no substantial charges are made out.
Think of prisoners not being permitted
to hold converse with their counsel un
less in tiie presence of a detective.—
Think of men lww>g persecuted by
their jailor until in sheer desperation
they commit suicide. VVe believe it
the people understood a tithe ot the se

would have much less said about the

—The trial of Je'fe son Davis, at
llichinond, has again been postponed
on aecount, as it appears, ot the absence
of Chief Justice Chase. On the meet
ing of the court last week, Judge Un
derwood charged the grand jury, and,
as far as reported the indications are
that he did so in a much more unex
ceptionable manner than luts been his
wont. He cautioned them that no par
ty or class prejudices should influence
their deliberations, hut it it should be
brought to their knowledge that any
one bad committed treason, be must
be indicted. It is supposed tlmt a new
indictment is to be prepared in Mr.
Davis'case. The government, through
its counsel, declared its purpose to try
the ease some time during the present
term, after the adjournment of the Su
preme Court, when Judge Chase could
be present; aud the counsel for Mr.
Davis, while asserting their readiness
to proceed at once, having agreed to
the proposition for a postponement un
til the 20th of March, the court ordered
the trial for that time and extended
Mr. Davis'bond accordingly, with the
understanding that, if Judge Chase
could not then preside, the period of
absence should extend until the term I
following.
—This community was thrown into
an intense state of excitement on last
Thursday evening, Oct. 31st, when it

outraged by a negro, not more than a
quarter of a mile from this city, about
sundown of the above day, as she wa-on
her way hone, a short distance from
this place. Miss Ciine observed the
negro approaching her, and becoming
frightened, ran, but was soon overtak
en by the scoundrel, who threw her
to the ground and accomplished his
hellish purpose, after which he quickly
fled. The young lady, when discover
ed, was taken to the nearest house, and
as soon as she was able to state the
facts, par ties started in pursuit of the
villain and succeeded in capturing him
on .Saturday last, and was fully identi
fied by Miss Cline. The negro calls
himself Ed. Jones, and says he is from

ADDRESS TO THE NERVOUS AND I)E
-BILITATBD whoie sufferings have been protracted
from hideous causes, and whose cases require
prompt treatment to render existence desirable.
If you are suffering or have suffered from involun
tary discharges, what effect does it produce upon
your general health? Do >ou feel weak, debilita
ted, easily tired ? Does a little extra exertion pro
duce palpitation of the heart ? Does your liver, or
urinary organs, or your kidneys, frequently get out
of order? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky,or
floeky, or is it ropy on settling' Or does a thick
scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at 'he bottom
after it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of
short breathing or dyspepsia ? Are your bowels
constipated ? Do you have spells of fainting or
rushes of blood to the head ? Is your memory im
paired? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon
this subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, of life ' Do you wish to De left
alone, to get away from everybody ? Does any lit
tle thing make you start or jump ? Is your sleep
broken or restless ? Is the lustre of your eye as
brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as bright?
Do you enjoy yourself in society as well? Do you
pursue your business with the same energy ? Do
you feel as much confidence in yourself ? Are
your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits or mel
ancholy ? If so, do not lay it to your liver or
dyspepsia. Have you restless nights ? \ our back
weak, your knees weak, and have but little appe
tite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver
complaint?
Now, reader, sell-abuse, venereal diseases badly
cured, and sexual excesses, are ah capable of pro
ducing a weakness of thegenerative organs. . Toe
organs of generation, when in perfect health, make
the man. Did you ever think that those bold, de
fiant, energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect he Ith ? You never hear such
men complain of being melancholy, of nervous
ness, of palpitation of the heart. They are nev
er afraid they cannot succeed in business ; they
don't become sad and discouraged; they are al
ways polite and pleas nt in the company of ladies,
and look you and them right in the face—none ot
your downcast looks or any other meanness about
them. Ido not mean those who keep the organs
infl lined by running to excess. These will not
only ruin their constitutions, but also tho.-e they do
business with or for.
How many m n from badly-cured diseases, Iroia
the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought
about that state of weakness in those organs that
has reduced the general system so much as to in
duce almost every other disease—idiocy, lunacy,
paralysis, spinal affections suicide, and almost
every other torin of disease which humanity is heir
to and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ev
er'suspected, and have doctored for all hut the

WALTHAM
WATCHES.
The true value of Machinery applied to Watch- i
making is not that by its use Watches are made
rapidly, but that they are made correctly. Very
few people know why a Waltham Watch should
be superior to any other. In the first place, at
Waltham the Watch is regarded as only a machine,
to be constructed like any other machine, on me
chanical principles. If the watches are good, it
is because the machinery is good. Of course there j
must be no defect in the principle or plan of the j
movement—no mistake in the sizes or shapes of
the pieces of which it is composed—nothing want- ,
ing in their properties, and no error in their posi- !
tins. These points once thoroughly settled, it
rests wholly with the machinery, constructed with j
infinite d versity of form and function expressly
for the purpose, to produce the finished pieces. !
By means of multyplying guages and microscopes, !
tests and inspection for the detection of wear in j
the cutting tools, and for faults and laws in steel
or stone are made to accompany the work in ev- <
ery stage from beginning to end. As a necessary j
result, the watch.goes together a perfect machine.
Every part is found to fit properly in its place.
Every pin may be pushed till it pinches, nnd ev
ery screw turned home. Ins ead of a sluggish and
feeble action, the balance, even under the pressure
of the lightest mainspring, vibrates with a wide
and free mo'ion, and the beat has the clear ring
ing sound always characteristic of the Waltham
Watch. The machine is a time-keeper from the
start
This system of watchmaking is unknown in for
eign countries, and is •entirely original with the
Waltham Company. The Company claim that by
it they produce watches that cannot be equalled !
for every quality which makes a watch valuable. 1
Simple in plan and correct in principle, the move- j
ment is uot only beautifully finished, substantial, j
aecurnte and cheap, but is uniform in the minu- j
test details, not easily damaged, and when re- j
paired always as good as new. There are differ- j
eut grades of finish in the different varieties of j
watches made by the Waltham Company, as j
there are different sizes and shapes to suit all tastes |
and means; but every Watch that bears the gen- I
ui: e tra I>-mark of "WALTHAM" is guarantied to j
bo a good oue, and nobody need be afraid to buy j

I)r. Sen kxck's Pulmonic Syrup.
Tiiis great medicine cured Dr. J. 11. Schenck, the
proprietor, of Pulmonary Consumption, when it
had assumed its most formidable aspect, and when
speedy death appeared to be inevitable. Hisphy
sicians prononnced his case incurable, when he
commenced the iso of this simple but powerful
remedy. His health was restored in a very short
time, and no return of the disease has been appre
hended, for all the symptoms quickly disappeared,
and his present weight is more than two hundred
pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his attention
exclusively to the cure of Consumption, and the
diseases which are usually complicated with it,
and the cures effected by his medicines have been
very numerous and truly wonderful. Dr. Schenck
makes professional visits to several of the larger
cities weekly, where he has a large concourse of
patients, and it is truly astonishing to see poor
consumptives that have to be lifted out of their
carriages, and in a few months healthy, robust
persons. Dr. Schenck's PULMONIC SYRUP, SEA
WEED TONIC, and MANDRAKE PILLS, are generally
all required in curing Consumption. Full direc
tions "accompany each, so that any one can take
them without seeing Dr. Schenck, hut when it is
•uvaaLnt it is host to ecc him. He gives advice
free, but for a thorough examination with his Re
spirometer his fee is three dollars.
Please observe, wheu purchasing, that the two
likenesses of the Doctor, oue when in the last stage
of consumption, and the other as he now is, in per
lect health, are on the Government stamp
Sold by all druggists and dealers; price $1 50
per bottle, or $7 50 the half dozen. All letters for
advice should be addressed to Dr. Schenck's prin
