DEMOCRATIC STATE NOMINATIONS.
FOR AUDITOR GENERAL,
HON. CHARLES E. BOYLE,
of Fayette County.
FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL,
GEN. WELLINGTON H. ENT,
of Columbia County.
On Saturday next, the Democrats
of this county, will hold elections to
choose delegates to represent them in
the Democratic County Convention to
be held on Monday next. We doubt
not that entire harmony will prevail
at these elections and that the very liest
men will be chosen as delegates. We
hope, too, that every district will be
represented in the Convention, as it is
highly important that such an organi
zation of the party be effected on Mon
day next, as will be active and efficient
from that day forward until the closing
of the polls in next November. The
Convention will meet not merely to
nominate a ticket, but to take meas
ures for the prosecution of the work of
the campaign. In less than two weeks,
the great struggle for the Presidency
will be fairly commenced, and hence
we should be ready to enter the field.
Let there be a full Convention, and let
the prominent, active Democrats of the
county, whether they he delegates or
not, assemble here on next Monday,
for the purpose of consultation and in
terchange of views. Bedford county
must do her whole duty this fall. The
enemy is distracted and dispirited.
Now is the time to strike fur a grand
and glorious victory, a triumph that
will bury the Radical faction so deep
that the trump of resurrection will not
re-call them from their sepulchre.
YATES A\U SinXFR.
The Radical platform made at Chica
go, and the Radical gospel according to
Yates and Sumner, are <iuite different
things. On Tuesday last, in the l\
S. Senate, these apostles of Radicalism,
delivered sermons to their brethren on
the subject of Negro Suffrage. They
took the ground that Congress must
establish equality of Suffrage without dis
tinction of race or color, in all of the
States. The Chicago platform, it will
he remembered, admits the power of
Congress to do this only so far as the
Southern States are concerned, but,
Yates and Sumner declare that it fol
lows as a natural consequence, that it
Congress has the right to regulate
the suffrage in the Southern States, it
has the right to do so in the remainder
of the States. Sumner and Yates are
the pioneers of Radical progress, and
it will not be long until Wil.-on, I'om
eroy, Chandler, Cameron, Conkling,
Sherman and the rest of the Radical
leaders, will follow in their path. Rut
here the question arises, will the mass
es follow likewise? Will those men
who style themselves "Republicans"
consent to theforcingof Negro Suffrage
upon the people by Congress? What
will the "Republicans" of Connecticut,
Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota and Kan
sas, who have lately assisted in voting
down Negro Suffrage, say to this new
stride towards the Africanization of
the government? What will the
white "Republicans" of Pennsylvania
(for there are two sorts in this country
while and black) do, now that Grant's
fuglemen in theU. S. Senate, proclaim
that, in spite of the Chicago platform,
they will establish Negro Suffrage in
the Keystone State, by act of Congress?
"Republicans" of Bedford county, we
ask you to read the Congressional pro
ceedings of Wednesday, loth inst.,
and judge for yourselves whether you
can sustain Yates and Sumner and the
Grant and Colfax Negro Suffrage- par
ty.
RADICAL NHI.IT IN HLL 11. A DIII.HH IA.
A serious rupture has taken place in
the Radical party in Philadelphia.—
In the convention to nominate a candi
date for District Attorney, in that city,
the other day, W. B. Mann, the can
didate of the office-holders' "ring"
was nominated, whereupon sixty-four
delegates withdrew from the conven
tion and nominated Isaac llazlehurst.
The Press says that this division en
dangers the success of the whole Radi
cal ticket in Philadelphia, and inti
mates that it may have so deleterious
an influence upon the prospects of
Grant, that even he may l>e defeated
by it. The fact is, the Radical party
is demoralized everywhere, and needs
but the coup de grace of a good Demo
cratic nomination to destroy it utter
ly.
THE Harrisburg Patriot wines to us
greatly enlarged and otherwise im
proved. It is certainly a good news
paper, as well as sound in doctrine.
We commend it to those of our read
ers who desire to take a morning daily.
BLACK EXI KORKMOST.
The Grant Radicals have pasSed a
bill "admitting'" North Carolina,
South Carolina, Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Florida, to representation in Con
gress on the black basis. These des
perate political tricksters, kept
Stales out of Congress, until by force
of arms, they were enabled to enfran
chise all the negroes, and disfranchise
a large proportion of the intelligent
whites, in other words, until, through
negro ballots, they could control the
election of Members of Congress and
U. 8. Senators. Such knavery as this
would not be tolerated in any decent
community, but it is esteemed as a
virtue in the fortieth Congress. We
would like to know the private opin
ion of some of our "Republican" friends
upon this point.
YOI* DO, EH ?
"I indorse the resolutions."
So says Ulysses Grant.
But will the people of the United
States endorse him ?
You "indorse the resolutions," Mr.
Grant. You "indorse" the vile tyranny
of Congressional reconstruction, the
cowardly forcing of Negro Suffrage up
on an unwilling people, the monstrous
attempt to put eight millions of white
people under the domination of four
millions of ignorant blacks, the atroc
ious wickedness of the disfranchise
ment of hundreds of thousands of free
white American citizens, the blood
sucking policy of the Freed man's
Bureau, (that National boarding
school for worthless black fazaro/ti,)
and even the shameless shuffling on
the great vital financial question
which to-day interests so deeply every
man and woman in the United
States. You "indorse" all this, and
coolly add, "let us have peace."
Yes, you would "make a desert and
call it peace!"
You would put the white man
in the power of your black tools, you
would put the negro's torch to the
white man's dwelling, the negro's
knife to the white man's throat.
You would make another St. l>u
mingo of the Southern States, trample
out what the war lias left of the aijs of
civilization and leave in its stead the
desolation, the howling wilderness of
African barbarism.
Or, as the only alternative, you
would keep your standing army of tit
ty battalions, quartered upon the peo
ple, to destroy their lisbertiesand eat
"out their substance."
These things, Mr. Grant, would be
the inevitable consequence of your en
forcement of the resolutions which
you "indorse." If you were Ulysses
S. Grant, multiplied seventy times
seven by your own multiple, the A
merican people would not sustain you
upon such a platform. As it is, Gen.
Scott's fate is but a slight foreshadow
ing of what is in store for you.— Patri
ot.
"Murder will Out."'
The Pittsburg Republican is neither
a Democratic or Republican paper. It
is what might be termed a "go be
tween the two parties." In an issue a
short time ago, it contained the follow
ing startling editorial:
There are thousands of people in the
land who believe that John Wilkes
Booth was hired by now prominent
Radicals to slay Abraham Lincoln,
and that they then treacherously gave
him up to destruction by their minions
in hope of covering their tricks. The
closeness with which the other priso
ners were guarded from outside inter
course; unfairness of their trial and
the haste with which they were put
out of the world all give color to the
suspicion, whilst the plot now maturing
to complete the work which the assas
sin left unfinished—i. e. the destruc
tion of Andrew Johnson—seem to till
the measure of proof against them.—
Abraham Lincoln fell a victim not
when he performed his most arbitrary
and hostile acts against secession, but
at a time when lie was healing the
wounds of war, holding out the olive
branch, appearing to gather the "re
pentant rebels," into the old Union.
Andrew Johnson is following in the
last footsteps made by Abraham Lin
coln."
What a delightful record this damna
ble abolition party will leave posterity.
Accounts of their murders, robberies,
pillages, false imprisonments, adul
teries, drunkenness, intrigues and gen
eral debaucheries will complete a crim
inal calender never before equalled or
to be again dreamed of.

The Clinton (HI.) County indepen
dent, formerly a Republican paper, is
now published in the interest of the
democracy. Its editor. Mr. George
Sellers, who has been a Republican
ever since the organization of that
party, says he could stand it no longer.
We quote the following from his last
issue:
"Nearly all the decent men who ev
er belonged to the Republican or Rad
ical party have left, and many more
will leave it as soon as they learn the
truth. Chief Justice Chase, Senators
Trumbull, Grimes, Ross, Fessenden,
Cowan, Doolittle, Dixon, and even
the President of the United States
have left the party since it fell into
the hands of such dirty thieves as
Beast Butler, Dirty Work Logan, and
other original fanatics and abolition
ists like Stevens and Sumner."
—Old Thad. declared that if Johnson
was not removed, Grant would carry
but two northern States, Massachusetts
and Vermont. Does the old infernal
still hold to the opinion? He is aw
fully, maliciously silent.
—The Bangor Democrat , one of the
ablest and staunchest Democratic pa
pers in New England, says :
"The misdemeanor of which John
son is guilty, is neglecting to take the
rascals about him by the throat and
strangling them, when he had the
power to do it."
—Thomas Harris, colored, convicted
at Staunton, Va., of an outrage on two
small colored girls, has been sentenced
to the penitentiary for thirty years.

tee or trustees, and direct them to re

pose. The estate is estimated at $300,-
000.
PETERSON'S MAGAZINE for July is
before us. This number, we see, be
gins the JiJ'ty-fourth volume. Like old
wine, "PETERSON" gets better and bet
tor. It has now been published for
twenty-seven years, and its unrivalled
circulation proves it the most popular
of the ladies magazines. The present
issue is one of the best we have ever
seen. A splendid steel engraving,
"Undine and the Knight," leads off;
then follows a mammoth colored steel
fashion plate, with live full length fig
ures; and then we have numerous
wood-cuts of new bonnets, capes, bod
ies, &c., Ac., besides a score of patterns
for the work-table; among them, two
printed in colors. The literary con
tents, as usual, are excellent. Now is
a good time to subscribe for "PETER
SON." Terms, .s±Hit a year. To clubs,
three copies for §4.00, or five for §B.OO,
and in this latter case, an extra copy
for a premium Address Chas. J.
Peterson, 800 Chestnut St., Philadel
phia.
DEMOREST'S MONTHLY for July,
prompt as usual, and with an adition
al quantity of Summer Literature, is
the most useful and interesting of all
the parlor periodicals, reliable from
beginning to end, and better than that,
its tone is elevated and earnest, very
unlike the frivolous artificiality
that disgraces so many fashion journals.
The fashions are a feature, as ever.
Ladies in the country think they can
not make a garment without DEMOR
ICST'S MAGAZINE, and there is in addi
tion to the treasured ■ patterns, always
a fund of useful and valuable informa
tion upon all household and domestic
subjects. W, Jennings Demorest, 478

Tin: Lebanon Advert her came to us
last week enlarged to a thirty-six col
umn sheet and dressed in new type
from top to toe. They didn't make
any better papers any where than the

this evidence of its prosperity.
IMPORTANT BOUNTY CIRCULAR. —

Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Radical can
didate for Vice President, was an orig
nal howler for impeachment. In his
campaign speeches for negro -suffrage,
in Ohio, last fall, he expressed a great
desire that President Johnson should be
made to "dance in the air"—in other
words, that he should be hanged. He
is a tit representative of Radical fanti
cism.
—The Mongrel papers make a far
greater flourish over Colfax's name
than they do of Grant's. Though Col
fax is the tail of the Mongrel kite, it is
the heaviest part of it, and makes a
ridiculous show in trying to ascend.
—The Toronto Globe professes to
have positive and reliable information
that the Fenian movement on Cana
da has already commenced, and calls
on the Government to order into the
field at once the whole volunteer and
regular force.
—That iniquitous institution, the
Freedmen's Bureau, with its attendant
train of pampered, insolent officials and
hordes of lazy paupers, is to be fasten
ed on the country for another year.
The leaders of the Radical party count
on this Bureau as a most potent ally
in the coming presidential election.
Ax exchange says that the latest
dodge of confidence men is the follow
ing: A man contrives to lose a ten or
twenty dollar counterfeit bill where
he is sure it will be found by one who
has had the honor to be selected for
his victim. He then offers a reward
of two, three or five dollars for the lost
money. If the finder keeps the bill,
it is of course no loss. If he be hon
estly inclined, and returns it to the
owner, the latter has no change—the
lost bill was all the money lit had in
the world; would the finder be so
kind as to take his reward out of the
bill, and give him back the change.—
This is done by the unsuspecting vic
tim, and the sharper with his good
money "stands not upon the order of
his going," but "lights out" at once.
In such cases the principle laid down
in the trite maxim, "Honesty is the
best policy" is open to debate.
Social Equality.
A cotemporary says : "The agents of
the Freedmen's Bureau and some of
the Federal military officers, who are
quartered in the Southern communi
ties, bitterly complain that society ig
nores and excludes them Irom all recog
nition of gentlemen who uphold the
infamy of negro equality, and these
should be. If a white man argues
that the negro is the equal of his own
race, let him seek and find among the
negroes a fit and congenial companion
ship. It is the practical application of
his own doctrine, to which he cannot
object without exposing the mean and
corrupt hypocrisy of his pretended
creed. The real white people don t
believe the negroes are their equals,
thou 0- !! they entertain tor them the
kindest feelings and always treat them
with respect and justice. If the seat
lawags prefer the Abyssinians it mere
ly illustrates the principle that men al
ways rise or sink to their proper lev
el."

WASHINGTON, June 10.
RECONSTRUCTION.
It is intimated in Radical circles, !
that after the passage of the omnibus j
reconstruction bill, how (lending in the ,
Senate, Congress will not undertake j
any further legislation toward the ad
mission of the Southern Sates this ses- !
sion. The States which will then be
left out are Virginia, Mississippi,
Florida and Texas, and the Radical
party leaders, at present, seem to be in j
no hurry to let them in, as the majori- j
ty of their electoral votes will proba
bly be cast against their candidate for
the Presidency. The Senate is stiil
discussing the repudiation clause in the
bogus Constitution of Georgia. It
meets with considerable opposition
even on the Radical side of the cham
ber, and in addition to its violation of
an express provision of the Constitu
tion of the United States, which de
clares that "no State shall pass any law
impairing the obligation of contracts,"
it is simply wholesale thieving. Nev
ertheless, it is supported by some of
the leading Republican Senators.
THE INQUISITION.
Butler's "inquisition" was in session in
the Judiciary Committee room of the
House again to-day, and Postmaster-
General Randall was examined as a
witness. Mr. Bingham has returned
to the city, and a quorum of the so
ealled managers being here, it is un
derstood that Mr. Woolley will be call
ed to-morrow. It is said that during
the examination of Mr. Ransom Van
Valkenburg, yesterday, Mr. Butler
asked the witness what he had been do
ing yi Washington so long? To which
the latter replied, "None of your busi
ness, sir." The examination of this
witness was further continued, and the
Express of this afternoon publishes the
following report thereof:
Mr. Butler asked: What become of
the money that Mr. Woolley left in his
room on the centre table?
Answer—l have it in my pocket.
Butler—Will you produce it and the
envelope containing the other papers ?
Answer —I will produce the money,
but the papers you shall not have.
The money was then laid on the ta
ble, amounting to 517,10U, in seven
teen one thousand dollar notes, and
small bills making the one hundred
dollars.
Immediately after Butler received
the money he ordered the witness out
of the room, but he declined to leave,
giving as a reason that he (witness)
was responsible for the money, and he
could not leave it in liis (Butler's)
hands. Butler insisted on the witness
leaving the room, but the gentleman
refused, without he could take the
money with him. At last, B. was
forced to succumb, and the money
was counted in the custodian's pres
ence.
Butler counted the money, the clerk
of the committee taking the numbers
of the notes.
After the counting, Butler, looking
sideways, said to the witness: I find,
sir, here sixteen thousand one hundred
dollars.
Witness—Mr. Butler, if you will
take the trouble to look under that
piece of paper near you, I think you
will find a one thousand dollar note,
which 1 have no doubt was placed there
through mistake.
General Logan, rising from the sofa,
said : Yes, Butler, I see one corner of
it sticking out.
Butler—Oh, yes; 1 did not notice it
before.
WASHINGTON, June 12.
THE RECONSTRUCTION BIER.
TllC House to-day took up the nnnii
uus reconstruction bill with the Senate
amendments. After an animated de
bate, the question was taken on a mo
tion to strike out "Florida" from the
bill, which was disagreed toby a vote
of 4-3 to 99. The other amendments of
the Senate were then adopted, and the
bill as amended was finally passed by
a strict party vole. It provides for the
admission of North and South Carolina.
Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Louis
iana to representation in Congress up
on the ratification of the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States by said States. The bill
will probably be sent to the President
to-morrow, and the general impress
ion is that it will be vetoed.
RADICAL OUTRAGE.
The outrageous conduct of Mr. W J.
Bowen, socalled Mayor of Washington,
and his associates in the City Councils,
caused the majority of the two boards
(Aldermen and Common Council) to
unite in joint convention, last evening,
and elect Mr. Thomas E. Lloyd, Mayor
of the ci'y, ad interim, or until it can
be legally ascertained who was elected
Mayor at the election on the first in
stant. The Radicals, determined to
perpetuate their rule, have appealed
to the Senate through Bowen, and to
day a bill was reported from the Dis
trict Committee legalizing the lawless
acts of the City Register in issuing cer
tificates to defeated candidates for the
Common Council, refusing to deliver
ballot-boxes, &c., Ac. This bill, it is
understood, is to be rushed through
Congress in order to prevent the prop
er legal tribunal from ousting Bowen,
and confirming the election of certain
Council men whose right to serve has
been denied by their defeated Radical
opponents. The Conservatives of the
city encountered and defeated the
Freed men's Bureau, and now they are
met by extraordinary legislation in
the Congress of the United States,
which, it seems, is about to step in and
decide the contest in favor of Radical
candidates who were fairly beaten at
the polls. What next?

The Washington correspondent of
the' Louisville Journal says:
The following laconic messages,
which passed over the wires between
Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee, and
General Stokes, will be produced by
the Democrats if they can get a hear
ing before the nosing committee:
KXOXVILLE, May 3.
How will Fowler vote?
W. G. BROWNLOW.
WASHINGTON, May 3.
Don't know. Think he's all right.
W. B. STOKES.
KNOXVILEE, May 4.
If you ain't certain, pump him.
W. G. BROWNLOW.
WAKHIXOTOX, May 4.
I can't. lle won't discuss the ques
tion. 1 fear he's shaky.
W. B. STOKES.
KXOXVILLE, May 5.
Tell him if he'll resign and let me ap
point you in his place I'll make him
judge of the Supreme Court in place of
Harrison, who will make way for him.
W.G. BROWNLOW.
WASHINGTON, May 6.
He won't resign. W. B. STOKES.
KXOXVILL, May 6.
Not profanely, but religiously, tell
him to go to hell.
W. G. BROWNLOW.

REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT,

NO STANDING ARMY!

NO NEGRO STATES!
While Men Must Rule America!
"Light, more light!" is the start
ling cry of the honest people groping
in Ihedarkness of Radicalism. "Light,
more light!" shouts the groaning tax
payer, bending under the load which
a Radical Congress has heaped upon
him. "Light, more light!" is the
pleading cry that comes to us from
those who earnestly seek a remedy for
the disease that is tugging at the vi
tals of the nation. Look and ye shall
see! Read and ye shall know! The
BEDFORD GAZETTE, for (lie Presi
dential Campaign, will be a complete
compendium of political news, speeches,
documents and every thing that per
tains to a political canvass in the col
umns of a weekly newspaper. It will
be published from the first day of June
until the seventh of November, next,
at the following low terms, cash in ad
vance :
One copy, $ .75
Ten copies, 6.00
Twenty copies, 11.00
Fifty copies, 25.00
Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make it a point to furnish his Re
publican neighbor a copy. This is
the plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO WORK
and put your Democratic newspaper into
the hands of every Republican who will
read. If you will do this you will
accomplish more good in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate Dem
ocratic newspapers at a very small
cost. We appeal to them to see loget
ting up clubs, and to sec to it in time.
Now is the time to sow the seed. Af
ter a little while the heat of passion
and prejudice will beam upon the pub
lie mind in all its intense fierceness,
and then seed-time will have passed.
Friends, let us hear from you !

will begin the publication of a Roll of
Honor, which will contain the names
of all subscribers who pay for their pa

see whether this list cannot be made to
run up to one thousand names. One
half of our subscribers, at least; should
pay in advance.
