BEDFORD BOROUGH ELECTION!
A GLORIOUS UCSIIH!
The election in this place, on Friday
la-d, resulted in the overwhelming suc
cess of the Democratic ticket. For this
auspicious result, we are indebted to
the faithfulness of the borough Democ
racy, and to the praiseworthy conduct
of a considerable number of conserva
tive and sensible Republicans, who
find it necessary, in selfdefenee, to vote
with the Democrats. Over such we do
not triumph, for they helped us to gain
the victory. The vote was as follows:
Judge of Election.

THE VICTORY IN* NAPIER.—The
Democrats of Napier tp., achieved a
glorious triumph at the election on
Friday last. The majority for Judge
of Election, was 09, a gain of 21 over
iS bars wood's maj. Our young friend,
James Sill, was elected School Direc
tor, by 82 majority over G. Hull.
NAPIER TP., March 21, 18G8.
EDITOR GAZETTE:—As the election
for township officers came off yesterday,
1 have thought you would be anxious
to know the result in this township,
and 1 concluded 1 would give you a
few items for your satisfaction. In the
first place eacli party bad a ticket com
posed of good men, and it was tiiought,
under the existing circumstances • of
the township, that it would make a
close run, but the old Democracy became
aroused, and, after they heard of the
expression of your town's "(/as bay"
leetle Johnny Cessna, that "in Napier
the Democracy had become so rotten
that he would defy them to elect a
Democratic School Director," they
pitched in with heart and soul in the
good work and elected their whole
ticket, with the exception of one super
visor, giving the largest majority that
has been given in the township for
several years. Our School Direclois,
that young and faithful Democrat,
Jamas A. Sill, and that old veteran
war-horse, Win. Rock, sen., being elec
ted by large majorities, Sill having
tiie same as the Judge. Rock being a
"no bounty" man was cut some. There
was not a lull vote polled, hut if there
had been, our majority would have
been increased instead of diminished.
I consider that John Cessna is doing
much more good now for the cause of
Democracy than he ever did when he
belonged to the party, for whenever he
attempts to pile up a Republican ma
jority he is certain to pull il doun.—
We will have an election hoard, next
fall, that will do honor to the township,
three against two, and the "Republi
can" Inspector, (that standing candi
date for Sheriff,) A. B. DennLon, may
make use of ail the gas lie contains
and it will have no effect upon the
other officers of the board, John A
Burns, as Judge, and William Crisman
as Inspector.
Yours, truly,* Q, ix THE CORNER.
DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH IN 8 XTOX.
The following is gratifying news to
the Democracy:

TIM BEDFORD AND BRIDGEPORT
RAILROAD. WHY AND HOW IT
SHOULD BE BUILT.—'The following ar
ticle is from the pen of a gentleman
fully conversant with the busine-s of
constructing railroads, and we give
place to it with pleasure, as we will
to any article upon this subject:
MESSRS. EDITORS:—The value, if not
the necessity, of railroads to a com
munity, is so generally conceded that
it is useless to advocate them, hut there
are some truths in regard to them that
are not generally realized.
The first is that the owners of real
estate in the vicinity of the road, and
not the shareholders in the compa
ny, as such, are most benefitted hv the
construction of the road, and to such
an extent is this the case, that while the
shares in many roads haveproved worth
less, we do not know a railroad whose
completion has not been attended by
a rise in the value of real estate along
and near the line of the road, more
than sufficient of itself to pay the cost
of building the road.
Secondly, each community will hence
forth he compelled to build its own
roads, excepting in the case of a few
important trunk lines, whose construc
tion is necessary for the prosperity of
the cities connected by them, and such
connecting roads as railway companies
are compelled to build in order to pre
venf the diversion of their trade. The
dream that the people of Pennsylvania
have indulged, ever since the commu
tation of the tonnage tax, that the
Penna. 11. It. Co. would build all the
roads they wanted, has at last been
dispelled, it is hoped, forever, and
those who desire railroads must ob
tain them as they obtained their prop
erty, by investing their means in
them.
Thirdly, the interests of a commun
ity are best served by the ownership of
the railroads residing in the commun
ity itself.
Admitting the foregoing premises,
and that Bedford County has not such
railroad accommodations as are essen
tial to its prosperity, thequestion arises:
In what railway enterprise shouid the
people of this county invest their
means ?
In answer, the following reasons for
preferring the proposed road from the
town of Bedford to Bridgeport, 011 the
route of the Pittsburg and Connolls
ville Railroad, are submitted :
As to distance, supposing the distance
from Bedford to Bridgeport to be 22
miles, then the distance to Baltimore
by that route will be 214 miles against
235 by the way of Huntingdon, and to
Pittsburg 158 against 203 via Hunting
don, while to Washington, via the
branch now being constructed from
Point of Rocks, the saving will be
much greater, and these markets both
for buying and selling are as good as
the more distant ones of Philadelphia
and N. York.
By this route another coalfield will
be opened to Bedford, furnishing bet
ter coal than the Broad Top coal, and
the more scarce and expensive article
of lumber will be obtained more easily
and conveniently.
The cost per mile of the proposed
route is much less than from Bedford
to Mt. Dallas, making it a more profi
table investment; for 011 the supposi
tion that there would be the same a
mount of traffic on either line, and that
the line to Bridgeport will cost one
third more than the other, theearnings
of the former would be three time* as
great, making the proportion of earn
i lgs to the capital invested 21 times as
great.
This project is not antagonistic to
the extension of the H. & B. T. It. It.
to Bedford, but will render that exten
sion certain ; first, By endangering the
prosperity of that road in its present
condition so that the completion of the
road to Bedford will be necessary to
prevent the loss of a large portion of
its most profitable business, and, sec
ondly, by creating a considerable addi
tion to the business, it would have, if
completed alone to Bedford, and the
prospect of this large increase would
enable that company to obtain the nec
essary means.
If these reasons are sufficient for pre
ferring the line to Bridgeport before
others, the ail important question re
mains, How can the means be obtained
to build it, if no help can be obtained
from abroad ?
There are, we think, twenty men, at
least, in the town of Bedford, who are
abundantly able to invest SIOOO each in
the stock of the company. As many
more can contribute SSOO each, and an
equal number $250 each, on the aver
age, making a total of $35,000, and tltf*
townships through which the proposed
route lies can, without difficulty, con
tribute the following amounts:
Bedford Township, $30,000
Napier " $20,000
Harrison " SB,OOO
Londonderry " $13,000
Making, with the town of Bedford, the
sum of SIOO,OOO, and other townships
might i>e relied upon to contribute e
nough to cover any excess in the fore
going estimate.
The second resort, which should be
only auxiliary to private subscription,
is a county subscription to the capital
stock of the company, upon the follow
ing plan, which we think the only
proper one.
Ist. No bonds to be issued, but the
subscription to be paid in such a num
ber of instalments as will prevent the
tax for the purpose from being oppres
sive.
2d. .Separate receipts to be given for
the railway tax, these receipts to be
transferable as any other personal
property, and convertible into private
stock whenever presented to the secre
tary of the company, in amounts equal
to one or more shares of the capital
stock.
3d. The county to be represented in
the meetings of the shareholders by a
proxy who shall vote on the amount of
county subscription paid up and not
converted into private stock.
4th. The assessed value of taxable
property in Bedford county, is about
3} millions of dollars. A tax of five
nulls per dollar on this amount for six
years, added to a private subscription
of the amount indicated above, would
place the finances of the company on
such a footing that its bonds for the
amount required to finish and equip
the road could bet isposed of without
difficulty at high rates, and not only
the completion ot the road hut its suc
cess as a dividend paying investment
ensured..
GROWING OLD.—How stealthy the
years creep upon us, one by one, until
some day we are startled to find our
selves grown old! It is curious to see
what different estimates people put
on old age at different periods ol
their lives. To the youth in his teens
the man of middle age appears quite
antiquated, hut when he himself ar
rives at forty years he can scarce be
lieve he is no longer young, and is as
tonished to see so many who were hut
infants the other day, now jostling him
as full grown men in the race of life.
taid one gentleman to another in our
hearing : "What has become of all the
old men ? When you and I were boys
there were many old men about, hut
they seem to be all gone." "Ah," said
his friend, with a smile, "ask these
youngsters where the did men are.
They'll tell you—and you will find
yourself among them !"

citizens of this place, upon the im

here within the last year or two, the

as one of the most important and one
that supplied a great want, when the
man of the brogue exclaimed, "Be me

that same Book Store, but I tawght
it was "one of Meyers' hoaxes upon

FAIRBANK S STANDARD SCALES.— These popular
Standard Scales, which have just received an ad
ditional indorsement at the Paris Exposition,
where they carried off the Gold Medal and the
highest honor over all competitors from the Uni
ted States, Great Britain, France, Germany, See.,
are the most perfect mechanical arrangement ev
er adopted for all kinds of weighing. They have
found their way into every city, town and village
in our own land and in all parts ot Europe, where
they arc rapidly superseding all other scales, but
as they are the most durable and perfectly finish
ed scale extant, we do not wonder at the demand
for them. The depot for these scales in Pittsburg
is on the corner of Wood and Second Streets,
where a full assortment of the different kinds can
be found, including standard weights and meas
ures. Read the advertisement.
NOTICETO DELINQUENTS.—We have
placed our books and accounts in the
bands of John P. Reed, Esq., of thsi
place, for collection. Ail accounts for
subscription for the year ending Au
gust 1, 1808, remaining unpaid, are in
eluded in the bills which Mr. Reed is
authorized to collect. We have been
compelled to resort to this course in or
der to obtain a settlement of our ac
counts. We have too much to do to
attend to making out bills, and we
are tired of dunning. M >ney we must
have, as we have many debts to pay,
and we desire to act honestly with our
creditors. Therefore, we ask all to
pay Mr. Reed, who can, and those who
cannot, we ask to call and settle. If
there is any thing in their accounts by
which they consider themselves ag
grieved, let them call on us, and we
will make all right that is not right.
Friends, let us have the old scores wip
