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.

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.

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,

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.

ADDRESS TO TIIE NERVOUS AND DE
BILITATED whoie sufferings have been protracted
troin hideous causes, aud 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 you feel weak, debilita
ted, easily tired ? Does a littlo 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
fiocky, or is it ropy on settling' Or does a thick
scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at 'he hot torn
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 tho 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 oe 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 tits or mel
ancholy ? If so, do not lay it to your liver or
dyspepsia. Have you restless nights? Your back
weak, your knees weak, and have but little appe
tite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver
complaint?
Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly
cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of pro
ducing a weakness of the generative organs. The
organs of generation, w hen in perfect health, make
the man. Did you ever think that those bold, de
tiunt, energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect he Ith ? You never hear .-uch
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 aud discouraged ; they are al
ways polite aud pleasant in the company of ladies,
and look you and them right in the fane—none ot
your downcast looks or any other meanness about
them. Ido not mean those who keep the organs
inflamed by running to excess. 'These will not
only ruin tueii constitutions, but also tho.-e they do
business with or for.
How many in. n from badly-cured diseases, from
the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought
i 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 tonu of disease which humanity is heir
to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ev
er suspected, and have doctored for all but the
right one.
Diseases of these organs require the use of a diu
retic. HELMBOLD'S FLUID EXTRACT BUCIIU
is the great Diuretic, and is a certain cure for
diseases of the Bladder, Kidneys, Gravel, Dropsy,
Organic Weakness, Female Complaints, General
Debility, and all diseases of the Urinary Organs,
whether existing in Male or Female, from what
ever cause origiuating and no in tter how long
standing
If no treatment is submitted to. Consumption or
lusanityinay ensue. Our flesh aud blood are sup
ported from these sources, and tho health and
happiness, and that of Posterity, depends upon
prompt use of a reliable remedy.
