EDITORS :—Having been nominated for Constable, by the Re publican party of thi* borough against my wishes awl consent, f hereby re spectfully decline the nomination. 8. S. DIEHL. If ( NOR Y. A now Poor House is to be built. So far go good. But there is a lot of hungry sharks lying in wait to pounce upon the job of putting up this much needed building. The Bedford in quirer furnishes the swiinming-hqle for these greedy fish. The Radical minority want to get possession of this contract, at the expense of the Demo ehitie majority. Anyone who will suffi ciently degrade himself to take the Inquirer into his hands, can see this at a glance. Look at its article of last week on this subject. It says, although it "has the fullest confidence in the personal integrity of the present Coun ty Commissioners," it cannot trust them because, (it alleges) they are con trolled by"bitter and unscrupulous par tizansl" The sequel will show not on ly that it is not true that the County Commisioners are thus controlled, but that the animus of this falsehood is the desire of the Inquirer clique to fasten their own filthy clutches upon the "public plunder." For instance, if Democratic partizans controlled the Commissioners, how could it be that the publishers of the Inquirer are allow ed $603,50 for advertising for the year 1867, whilst the proprietors of the GA ZETTE, are allowed for the same year, but $565,30? [See Auditor's Report]. Oh how is it that Mr. B. W. Garretson, Mr. Conrad Fea9terand Mr. J. L. Nor ton, all good "Republicans," have been given contracts by these same Com missioners ! The fact is, that the Com missioners regard no man's politics j when they come to deal with him in j matters of business. We defy the In- i quirer to show a single instance in which any "Republican" has been wronged by the Commissioners on ac count of his politics. But, the Inquir er further says,''however faithful the Commissioners are now and may have been, there is no denying the fact that the aggregate of taxes in this County has under the management increased from $8017,26 in 18G3 to $26,096,61. in 1867." Now, just here the Inquirer litis under a mistake. The aggregate of taxes in 1863, wn* $10,161.76. and the aggregate of taxes in 1867, was $21,- 175.15. I-'or proof of this, we refer the reader to the records in the Commiss ioners' office. But we presume the Inquirer refers to the acttml expendi tures of the County for these respective years, instead of the aggregate assess ments. Well, let us look at the fig ures. We havecarefully copied from the records the following items of the coun ty expenditures for the years 1803 and 18G7, and now place them before the reader in the following comparative table: For Building Bridges: 1BG $366.00 1567 $0823.26 Costs in Commonwealth Cases: 1863—5,1338,00 1867—52342.40 Conveying Prisoners to Penitentiary : 1863 nothing 1567 $908.00 Keeping Prisoners in Penitentiary : 1863 $12.98 1867 : $412.67 Boarding Prisoners in Jail: 1803 666.28 1867 $933.25 Jurors' Fees: 1863 1294.75 1867 $2742.55 Assessment Expenses: 1863 128.98 1867 $1160.90 What do these figures show? Why that in 1863, expenditures for Building Bridges, Costs in Commonwealth Cas es, Conveying Prisoners to Peniten tiary, Keeping Prisoners in Peniten tiary, Boarding Prisoners in Jail, Jur ors' Fees and Assessment Expenses, were but 4106.99, whilst in 1867, they were, 18,823,03, or a difference of $14,- 216.64 in favor of 1863. Now, over these expenditures the Commissioners have no control whatever. Bridges are swept away by floods, and must be re-built. Ihe Court orders tiie Commis sioners to build them, it so happened that the bridge at Hopewell and the one at Itoades'Mill near Stonorstown were destroyed by a ires hot last year, and they had to be re-constructed dur ing 1807. Are the t 'ommisMoners'to be held responsible for the work of the elements? Again, there has iieeu a great increase of crime during the la-t few years, and costs in Commonwealth cases had to be paid. The Court orders the Commissioners to pay them. A large proportion of these coMs, was incurred in behalf of the Inquirer's Negro pots who have been taught that they are "as good as the | whites," and, have thus imbibed the motion.that they can violate the law ; just a* well as anybody else. Are the I Commissioners to be held responsible for the crime which results from the d moralization of society by the late | glorious war? Criminals must betak en to the Penitentiary. The Court or ; ders the Commissioners to pay for their transportation thither. Convicts must ! 1h j boajded in the Penitentiary, the In , quiver's Negro pets included, and the 1 law directs that the Commissioners : shall pay their board, if the convicts fail to earn it. Prisoners must be boarded in jail, and the Court orders | the Commissioners to pay the board. ! Jurors' fees must bo paid (and during ! 1807 there were two special courts, and j none in 1863) and the Court directs the Commissioner- to pay them. Assess ment expenses, too, the Commission ers are by law bound to pay (the trien nial assessment took place in 1807 but not in 1563). How, then, are Vne Com missioners responsible for Vnese thing* ? Quarrel with tbo Almighty, if you please, for the destruction of bridges, or with the Court, or with the Law, but be just, if you can, and cease to blame the Commissioners for what they can not control. From the preceding fig ures, it will be seen that $14,216.01 of the expenditures for 1867, were on ac count of matters entirely beyond the authority of the Commissioners. Now, the county tax for 1863, was, $16,401.76, and for 1867, 821,175.15, but $1,713.39, more for the latter than the former, notwithstundingthefaet that more than three times this increase, had to be paid, in 1567, for the unusual, but unavoida ble expenses, sot forth in the above ta ble. We think the Commissioners do serve great credit for getting, through with an addition of but $1,713.39 to the tax of 1863, considering that they were loaded down with these extraordinary expenses. We have thus shown up the true state of the case, in order that the greedy grabbers after the Poor House job may be foiled in their selfish and sneaking attempt to take .the super vision of the erection of that building out of the hands of the Commissioners, to whom the law now commits it, in order that they may snap it up them selves. Out upon you, pharisees, hyp ocrites! Your cloven foot is plainly visible, and you can't place it upon the necks of the innocent and faithful in order that, you may reach high enough to engorge yourselves with the plunder you covet. I'iUMiKKss "I The trial of Andrew Johnson, Presi dent of the United States, for "high crimes and misdemeanors" (P-h-e-w! what a long tail our cat has !) the said "high crimes and misdemeanors" con si-ting in the attempted removal of an odious cabinet officers, being just such "high crimes and misdemeanors" as Andrew Jackson and the sainted Lin coln were guilty of, progresses a- rapid ly as any fool who wants Congress to be made a Central I firectory could well des ire. On Friday last the President's coun sel, Messrs. rStanbery, Curtis and Xel sou, entered an appearance for him, and asked for forty days time to pre pare their answer to the charges a gainst Mr. Johnson. The impeach ment managers, Ben. Butler, Surratt, Bingham, Buckshot Stevens, Dodger Wilson A co., insisted upon immedi ately proceeding with the trial, but the "High Court of Impeachment," by a vote of 26 to 25, decided against these hasty pudding pettifoggers.— Then came the question how long time the President should be allowed to prepare his answer. All the Demo crats and some "Republicans" were willing to give him the time he asked. But the "Court" went into secret cau cus, and in that dark and damnable Star-chamber, it was resolved to give him only ten days! An order to the effect that the trial should proceed as soon as the replication of the "mana gers" of Impeachment would be put in, with the reservation, "unless other wise ordered ," was then adopted, and the "Court" adjourned untii Monday next. It looks as if the President were a doomed man. The jury before which he is to be tried, is determined to convict. It is packed with the Presi dent's enemies, and it would be hoping against hope to expect justice at its hands. Let them go on. If they want to make a martyr of Andrew John son, and if Johnson prefers martyr dom to resistance, so let it be, Time sets all things even. HA D 2 The Rails, of this borough are mad us thunder because the Democrats have nominated Mr, Win, Gephart, for Constable, Mr, Gephart voted for Sharswood and the Democratic ticket last full, as we presumed every body knew. He is not a convert of to-day, So don't roar and pitch so terribly, boys! You'll all ward lo come over some of these days. THK STATE TIC'iiLI. It is tiie custom of party organs to praise their candidates, but in the case of the Democratic State Ticket just nominated, partizan eulogy is unneces sary. MR. BOYLI;, the nominee for Auditor General, is known through out the length and breadth of the State, as an able lawyer and an incorruptible legislator. Ask any Rapublican nietn !>er of the Legislatures of 1866 and 1867, whatavas the character of Charles E. Boyle, as a member of those bodies, and he will tell you, it was that of the strictest honestij and the highest intelli gence. As for General Ent, the nomi nee for Serveyor General, the soldier citizens of Pennsylvania, w;it bear ample testimony to bis worth. The Pennsylvania Reserves, the Old Guard of the Army of \he Potomac, hold dear his name a,- of a noble companion and a fearless leader. A eoteniporary Cmo Patriot and Union, :. says of these gentlemen: Hon. CHARLES E. BOYLE, of Fayette county, for Auditor General, was a member of the Legislatures of 1866-7, but being a Democrat, he is not in the least chargeable with the corruption of the notorious assemblage of 1867. On tlie contrary, during his career as a legislator he distinguished himself as an antagonist of all the corrupt and partisan measures which have render ed the memory of that body infamous. Mr. Boyle is a gentleman of honesty, suavity* and pure character in everv respect. His abilities and general knowledge of law, legislation and fi nance eminently fit -him for the po sition for which he has been selected. Gen. WELLINGTON* H. ENT, for Surveyor General, is at present a prac tising'lawyer of Columbia county, of which county heisa native. He grad uated at the Law University at Albany, New York, a short time previous to the outbreak of the war, and had commenc ed the practice of law in Columbia, when the call to arms resounded through the land. Dropping his hooks and abandoning his practice,he shoul dered a musket asa private in the Sixth Pennsylvania Reserves. From that time forth for a period of more than three years he participated in carrying out the brilliant war record of that gallant regiment. Step by step he rose - from private to lieutenant, from lieu tenant to captain, from captain to maj or, from major to lieutenant colonel, from lieutenant colonel to colonel, which latter position he honorably and bravely filled at the muster out of the Reserves, in 1861. He was in all the engagements fought by the Army of the Potomac during that strange,event ful period—Drainesvilie, South Moun tain, Antietam, Ac. —and for his "dis tinguished services" he was brevetted a Brigadier General, at the close of the war. But General Ent does not rest alone upon his war record. His legal and business knowledge is fully equal to the discharge of the duties of the. office for which he has been nominated. His rapid promotion in the army from the ranks to one of the most command ing positions is a sufficient guarantee that he is not only a brave man, but a man of great intellectual ability. Such are the candidates just nomi nated by the Demoeiacv of Pennsyl vania. With their names upon our banner, we may well challenge the foe to the on-et. Let the majority of 1,600 for Sharswood, be made at least ten times as great for these true and trustworthy representatives of the peo ple. (JEN*. GRANT'S order to Gen. Han cock to restore the seven, negro council men of New Orleans to the places from which the latter had removed them, has caused a depreciation of the bonds of that city to such an extent that great loss is sustained by the holders. Let it be remembered that Grave yard Grant is the man who forced these negroes back into office, and to make room for them, ousted good Union white men, as Gen. Hancock avouches them to be. The gallant Hancock de clares that lie cannot administer the laws, when such appointments are forced upon him, and has asked to be released from the command of the fifth Satrapy. No decent white so'dier could quietly brook such an insult as this put upon him by the founder of the Virginia Graveyards, Useless Graut. THE Inquirer , of last week, says that a new Democratic paper, called the Repudiator , has been started in St. Louis, and that the Democracy profess one kind of principles in one part of the country and another in another. The Re.pudiator does not profess to be a Democratic paper, but represents the financial doctrines of such men as But ler, Thad. Stevens and Gen. Boatty (he who was lately elected as the Rad ical candidate for Congress intheeighth district of Ohio). Can't the Inquirer stumble on the truth once in a while? The Democratic platforms of the States that have held conventions lately, are homogeneous and consistent with each other on the financial question. But the Radical State platforms are the ve ry opposite. In Ohio and Indiana, they declare for the payment of the federal debt in greenbacks, but in Pennsylva nia, they stick to gold for the bond holders, is this not true, Mr. Inquirer? Answer this, and don't wait till after the election to do it, as you did on the Negro Suffrage quest ion. —lmportant gold discoveries have been made in Franklin county, Ga. There is great excitement in that local!' ty, and the mines are said to be very rich, -A fire at Pit Hole, destroyed thirty buildings, it was caused by the bursting of a kerosene lamp.— Loss *126,000, HARRISBURG. The Radical State Convention ; Threaten ed Rupture: The Free Railroad Law; Senator Stiitzinnn; A "rejfistration" choke ; Strngcrt cast. Ac. Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette HARRISBURG, Mar. 15. MESSRS EDITORS: —The political cauldron is beginning to simmer, and some* singular "stews" are resulting. The Radical State Convention met at Philadelphia lasfeweek and had a "good time generally.'' The Legislature ad journed in honor of the event, and the Radical solons of that body proceeded to the scene of ihe party gathering, doubtless, with the intention of lend ing ana; r of honesty and respectabil ity to the assembled delegates. It Seemed a little queer to find that in this convention Simon Cameron was the "under dog in the fight," and that An dy Curtin stood over him, master of the situation. The truth is, however, that Simon did not care to make much of an effort to defeat Curtin, as he well knows that the latter's chances are slim at any rate. I mean Curtin's chances for the Radical nomination for the Vice Presidency. Nevertheless, there wore other interests that operated against Curtin, and these naturally had the sympathy of Cameron's friends in the Convention. The result was that Ben. Wade's name was introduced as that of Curtin's competitor, and Ben. re ceived quite a respectable vote. A res olution 'to require the delegation to Chicago to vote as a unit for Curtin, caused a bitter fight and some of the delegates threatened to leave the Con vention, if it were pressed. The Cur tin men, however, insisted upon it, and it was finally passed, 47 votes be ing east against it. There is a fair pros pect of double sets of delegates to Chi cago and a rupture in the party on ac count of the gag being thus applied to the minority. At any rate, the Con vention was anything but harmonious, and many of the Radical lookers-on went away disgusted. The "Free Railroad" struggle in the Legislature, still continues. There are two measures, each of which is claim ed by its friends, to be the simon pure, "original Jacobs," the one having orig inated in the House, the other in the Senate. The House bill requires as a pro-requisite to thegpauting of a rail road charter, the subscription of $4,000 per mile, with ten per cent, paid up; the Senate bill requires slo,oooper mile to be subscribed with ten per cent, paid up. The House insisting upon its hill and the Senate adhering to its own, a committee of conference has been ap pointed to harmonize, if possible, the difference, between tlie two houses. Your Senator, Maj. Stutzmari, has vo ted for the Senate bill, and urges in de fence of his vote, that there was an un derstanding with the opponents of the Pittsburg and G'onnellsville bill, that if that hill would he permitted to pass, such a Free Railroad law as is propo sed in the Senate hill, would he all that would he asked for. This understand ing, he,says, was made on his own part, in pursuance of u ceaolut-ion adopted by a meeting of the citizens of Somer set, about a year ago. Besides it is rep resented that if no charter be allowed until SIO,OOO per mile he subscribed and ten per cent, of the same lie paid up, there will be greater assurance that those who apply for charters mean to build railroads, and not merely to spec ulate. As this vote of Mr. Stutzinan upon this question, has been made the subject of severe animadversion, I have deemed it proper to give your readers, his side of the case. There can he no doubt that under the House bill, it will he a much easier matter to ob tain charters than under tlie Senate hill. For my own part, Ido not con sider either of them a true Free Rail road measure. My own notion is, that a "Free Railroad Law," is an enact ment under which any party, or par ties, may build railroads, with the sole restriction of non-interference with ves ted rights. Such is my definition of this much, mooted term, and un til the legislature :sct upon this view of the matter, we shall not be much benefited by what is called Free liuit road legislation. A "registration law," is before the House, having passed the Senate, which will entail an infinite deal of vexation and trouble upon those people who desire hereafter to exercise the right of suffrage. It requires the citizens to make proof to the Assessors, of their rigiit to vote, and every man who does not cad upon the assessor and thus prove his citizenship, can be excluded from the potts I This isoneof the Radical devices to stifle the voice of the people. It will, doubtless, pass the House, as it did the Senate, by a strictly party vote. The Shugert contested election case is <-lill undecided. The great huilabal loo made by Swoope, Cessna & Co., about frauds committed by Democrats, has entirely subsided and the most im portant witnesses for the contestant have been proved to be men unworthy of belief. Mr. Shugert will not be ous ted, unless the political necessity of the Radicals is a stronger argument with the Committee than truth and fairness. FltUn THE FAST. Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette. Lebanon, Pa., March 11, JBGJ. Misses. Editors:— Believing that you would occasionally like to hear from other parts of the State, how the democracy is flourishing, I thought I would write you a few lines for your valuable Deuriocraticpaper, and inform you concerning matters and tilings in Lebanon. It is true that our people are somewhat secluded, from the fact that they are some distance from the great business thoroughfares of our State, but they nevertheless, take an active interest in the progress of things in general, and in none more than the political situation. The Democrats of our borough have already organized p Democratic Club, a Juuior Democrat ic Club, and, inn short time will or- , ganize the two into a Reading Club where Democratic newspapers will be read and the news fully digested from every stand-point. Our county is largely "republican," but we have over 2.000 Democratic vo ters, good and true, whom money can not buy and menaces cannot frighten. The frenzy of the Radicals in Washing ton and their fanatical doings in the present session of Congress, have gone a great way towards disheartening honest "republicans" who believed in the mouth patriotism professed by their leaders. Many of these persons have looked with horror upon the ef forts of the New England fanatics to equalize the franchise and when told by Democrats that it is the intention of the leaders of their party to give the negroes the right of suffrage, they stoutly denied that such was the case, and now, when it is but too palpable, there are many of them ready to leave the party which lias so long deceived them. Some who will not unite with the democracy in ■putting down this unholy usurpation of power on the part of Congress, are, however, luke-warm in their radical ism and cannot he induced to go to the polls, at all thereby helping us in directly. Our people are a .curious people, prone to trust in their leaders, but when deceived, they become dis heartened. I have not the least doubt that Impeachment will tell on the Re publican majority, and would to God that it would so tell over the entire coun try that the revolutionists will them selves becometheimpeaeiied! They will then learn that children should not play with edge-tools which may be made to cut two ways. We are alive to the work before us in the present campaign, and do not intend to permit the interest of our people to flag, knowing that it will re quire eternal vigilance to circumvent the scoundrels who are now in power. The Auditors' Report of our County Treasurer's account, shows that there is a deficiency in that account ol over $17,000! Is there any %onder that the "republicans" have plenty of mon ey for electioneering purposes, when the people arethus plundered by whole sale. The party of great moral ideas, have a sufficiency now to do to cover up the peculations that are thus, in spite of them, brought to light. More anon. A SOLDIER. —The County Treasurer's safe at Glen wood, lowa, was blown open on the night of the 24th ult., and robbed of $5,000.
