Oh ! no, they never mention it! We
mean the fact that J. M. Russell, Jacob
Barndollar and A. J- Cline, the W big
delegates who represented Bedford and
Somerset in the Convention of ISbJ.
The radical newspapers of this legisla
tive district are mute as mice on that
subject. They affect to be delighted
with the votes of Stutzman, \\ elicr and
Longenecker to undo tho work of
those old Whigs, hut we really think
the editors quietly wish these three
- legislative worthies at the devil. It is
the business, however, of these slaves
to party leaders, to swallow any piJl
the latter may prescribe lor tlieui.
Nothing but tame and abject submis
sion can be expected of them. But the
massed of the radical party—are they
slaves too?

Tlie twenty seven extra pasters and
folders appointed by the late legisla
ture are provided for In the appropria
tion bill at an expense of $20,000 to the
tax payers. Most of these fellows
had A complete sinecure during the
session, not performing any service at
ail. Some of the Radical newspapers
protested very loudly aginst this out
rage in the beginning. Among these
was the Bedford Inquirer. Nothing
more, however, is heard from these
sources til regard to this matter. The in
iquity has been accomplished, but the
radical editors have nothing to say a
bout it. Another election i- approach
ing,and the fear is that some of the men
who voted to pay these paate-sllingers
will be left at home. Cannot the In
quirer say just a word upon this sub
ject ?
M*t 1 \rf.GBA lION.
SEN ATOR Srnaot'K has made sever
al speeches in the t. r . 8. Senate, de
nouncing his party associates for their
profligacy and corruption, and predic
ting the ruin of the country if they
did not change their course. Senator
Ross, of Kansas, and Senators Cameron
and Scott, of this State, have also made
speeches severely reflecting upon the
appointments made by President
Grant. <)f course this is merely a show
of honesty on the part of these men,
and is not to he taken as evidence of
sincere repentance of the folly and
crime in which they have participated
during the last eight years. But it
shows the gradual hut certain disin
tegration of the radical party. The
downfall of that corrupt and rotten
organization is approaching. Let it
come.
TUB POST OFFICE ijunuKiLio.—
"I>AD" AIM'OINTS HLSOWN MAN AND
IOXORES TUB PEOPLE. —SUMF.TIHNO
ROTTEN IN DENMARK.—Maj. Daniel
Washabaugh has been appointed by
the President and continued by the
Senate, as postmaster at this place, vice
(Loyer, resigned. Maj. Washabaugh
is a competent man, and will, no doubt,
discharge the duties of the office with
care and fidelity. We find no fault
with the character of the appointee.
In fact as it is "none of our funeral,"
we stand back, "like a bound boy at a
husking," and content ourself with the
role of a serene -iooker-on. But as a
faithful chronicler of passing events, it
becomes our duty to inform an anx
ious and inquiring public as to the
manner in which the appointment was
made.
It will be rcmemliered that on the
20th of February last, the supporters
of' President Grant, residing within
the range of delivery at the Bedford
post office, held an election to indicate
their choice for postmaster, at which
A. 8. Rub< it received 120 majority
over all competitors. This result was
considered deei-ive and conclusive, by
the people oftht* neighborhood, and
Messrs. Minnieh and Arnold, who were
eandidates against Mr. RUSMOII, grace
fuily and cheerfully submitted to the
popular verdict. Everybody accepted
Mr. Russell as the coming postmaster
and there was general satisfaction with
the choice thus made. The Inquirer
of Feb. xiiith said : "Mr. Russell lias
been dork of the post office for some
time and discharged the duties of the
post to ihc satisfaction of all parties,
and well deserves the high compli
ment paid him in the very flattering
vote lie received on Saturday, lie
will make an obliging and efficient of
ficer." In Hi is the Inquirer expressed
the feeling of-general satisflaction at the
selection of Mr. Russell which per
vaded its party. But, it. so happened
that the choice of the people was not
the choice of "our" congressman. Mr.
Cessna ha interests to subserve in the
future, and he did not think Mr. Rus
sell the man to use in carrying out his
ambitious projects. He determined
that the appointment should not be
made. True, the popular vujeo tfas
loud and positive for .Mr. Russell, but
what cares Cessna for the people? lie
knows that heretofore ho has always
whipped them into the traces, and he
thinks lie will have no trouble iu do
ing so again. They may kick for a
while, but, reasons John, they'll be
lame enough when they hear the crack
of the party lash. If there be any who
have no fear ofthe whip, he has some
nice sugar-plum* in the shape of prom
ises of office, or money, to coax thorn
into submission, and those who can
be neither driven, nor purchased, he
hopes fo glo'zeand cheat by soft words
and pretty little while JieS, such as he
known so well how to tell. Thinking
thus, M"r. flessnadSd not hesitate to dis
regard and set at defiance the expres
sion of the pojralar preference In fhvor
of Mr. Russell.
Of course, to those who call him to
account for his conduet in this matter,
he offers plenty of excuses. First, he
says that Mr. Russell was an appoin
tee of Ex-President Johnson, that he
was recommended by Montgomery
Blair and Senator Buckalevv,and, there
fore, Grant refused to appoint him.
Suppose this to be true, how does it
come that Mr. Cessna, or Mr. Grant,
does not remove Mr. C. W. Asheom
from the office of Collector of Internal
Revenue for this district ? Mr. Asheom
was appointed by Andrew Johnson,
upon the recommendation of Senator
Buckalew, Judge Kimmell and other
Democrats, yet Mr. Cessna and Presi
dent Grant permit him to continue in
office. Will Mr. Cessna please explain
this little discrepancy? We know
that this reason was not taken account
i of by Mr. Cessna, when lie offered to
get the post office for Mr. Russell, if
the (otter tdould pay S3OO of his notary per
annum to another party who wets an ap
| plieantfor the place. Anotherexeuseof
i fered by him, is, that Senator Cameron
controlled the appointment and would
I not suffer Mr. Russell to be appointed.
Certainly Mr. Cameron did not make
choice of Maj. Washabaugh, for the
Major has been known for years as an
anti-Cameron man and was an office
holder under Curtm, the bitter enemy
of Cameron. Ho that cock won't fight
either, I>ad. The fact of the business
is, and John might as well own it, A.
S. Russell could not he made a tool of
by "our" Congressman, and, therefore,
was cheated out of the office for which
lie was the almost unanimous choice of
; the people of this neighborhood.
Mr. Russell is and ha always been
a Republican of the stniitest sect.- We
have nothing in common with him po
litically. But we know him to have
been an efficient, impartial and obliging
officer, and for that reason we should
have lieeti gratified at his appointment.
Only this and nothing more. And
now, if the "Republicans" of this
neighborhood are satisfied that John
Cessna shall set aside their own votes
for postmaster and himself select one
for them, we have no right to com
plain. It is their business, not ours.
But we do say this, that if Seymour
I had been elected President and Judge
Kimmett Congressman, and the Demo
crats of this neighborhood had elected
a postmaster, it would have been worth
the Judge's head, much as the Demo
crats like him, if he had disregarded
i such an election.
PERIOIX'II.S.
THE OLD GUARD FOR MAY.—The
following contents of this popular
monthly, for May, are of a superior
character. "Fifteenth Amendment,"
".Northern Delusions Atmut Negroes."
Article 12, under the caption of "As
tounding Delusions and Falsehoods
Employed by Wilberforce to Turn
Loose the Negroes of the West Indies,"
places that "reformer" in his true light
before the world. The "Construction
of the Bible," by a Hebrew scholar,
who has given years of labor to this
great subject, is worthy of careful pe
rusal. W. Gilmore Simnis' story,
"The Cub of the I'anthcr." The bal
ance of the literary matter, including
the poe ical department, is considera
bly above the late average of merit.
The "Book Table" and the "Editor's
Table are both full of capital reading;
and, all in all, TIIE OLD GUARD for
May makes a splendid number.

J Correspondence of the Bedford Geiette. ]
Piiil'a., April 22, 1869.
"Let us have Peace."
The indications for that desired end
are not very vast, as we look around.
There is thunder every where just now,
and we begin to think that Mr. Grant
will bestirred up by others than his
family circle and those who desire to
serve their country in some fat office,
very shortly. The method last pro
posed in Congress for settling the Ala
bama claims, if officially considered,
will and can end in nothing short of
war.' And we believe the animus of
the lenders of Congress is of that char
acter, while the action thus far can be
construed in no other light. With the
annexation of Canada comes the revo
lution in Cuba in which the whole
country sympathizes, and in which di
rection warlike demonstrations are
now being made. It is known that a
■ batch of cannon left this city to-day,
and it is confidently believed, bound
for the "ever faithful Isle." Here too
Congress has given no uncertain sound.
While all this is going on outside,
there is a disturbing element within.
A party in the interest of Imperialism
has boldly flung out a paper in New
York in advocacy of that revolutionary
doctrine, and says that the present
form of government means "lawless
ness, corruption, insecurity to person
and property, robbery, and civil war."
Touching the attempt to suppress it by
mob law it says: "We are not alone in
this great city, and ire know on whom
to rely in our emergency ." Takiri the
above facts into consideration in con
nection with the unsettled condition of
affairs in the Southern States, it does
not look as though "peace" had yet
lighted down on the Capitol.
OI'EIIA BOUKFK.
Anything foreign will rage in this
country ; and when Opera is Frenchi
fied you may be sure that' it will be
patronized. We know nothing of Op
era Boutie by sight: for we believe it
to be demoralizing. But there are those
who do, and while their conscience is
sufficiently elastic to allow them to at
tend, nevertheless concede that some
subjects are of very doubtful propriety.
Vice and imparity are here made at
tractive because they are covered with
beautiful and gorgeous drapery (some
times not enough of it) and worked up
with music and dance. The Academy
of Music has had crowded houses to
witness such scenes lately. This same
opera had a great run in i'aris in 1867,
and in that case we judge there is no
want of abandon and freeness in it.
As has been demonstrated, there are
plenty here who take to it easily, and
many who profess refinement and are
extremely fastidious in matters of open
vice and immorality, go there night af
ter night and never know anything
iiurts them, on the principle, we pre
sumthat to the pure all things are
pure. The "Hon! Soit" arrangement
is very convenient in French Opera
and Black Crook.
Summer
walked in on us last Sunday in full
dress. And such delightful weather !
From our window we can look over a
wide scope where residences are em
bowered in a delicate green and yards
liegin to smile with vernal loveliness.
In the meantime a warm, gentle rain
has laid the dust and cheered nature all
over, the sun comes out full and warm,
and the birds have a fine concert. We
feel young again, and almost wish for
the times when we played marbles,
rolled on the gnus or went fishing and
came back like all boys do .
The flower market is in full array
and every variety gladdens the eye
and delights the nose. Delaware shad
regale the taste, and are now becoming
abundant. Hot houses are contribu
ting radishes two at a bite in size, and
the next thing wo pray for is,
Lettuce have Peas.
Yours till then, LINDEN.
A<a; 11 \ vat ED Homicide.- Bet ween
S and t o'clock on Monday afternoon
our city was thrown into a state of in.
tense excitement by the killing of Mr.
Jay Johnson, express messenger on the
Cumberland A Pennsylvania Railroad,
by a young man belongingto Lonaeon
ing, in this county, named W. H, H.
Duckworth. The homicide was com
mitted near Krigl.auni's on the line of
this road, about three miles West of
the city, and the facts, as far as
we have been able to glean them, are
about as follows: Duckworth had
beeu in Cumberland during the day
and bad become considerably under
the influence of liquor. He took pas
sage on tiie train, which left this city
at 6 o'clock, to go home. When some
distance out, the conductor, Mr, Sher
idan, while collecting the fares, ap
proached Duckworth and demanded
his passage money. The latter insist
ed that lie had already paid, and re
fused compliance with the demand.—
The couductor then resolved to put
hiti) off the train, and, witli a view to
do pulled the bell-rope signaling
the engineer to stop, whereupon Duck
worth threateningly drew a revolver,
when Mr. Sheridan seized his arm and
one barrel of the pistol was discharged,
the bait striking Mr. Johnson, who
was approaching, with fatal effect.—
The homicide immediately jumped
from the train, and, it is alleged, en
deavored to escape, but was pursued
by the passengers and train hands and
captured by the passengers and train
to the city, and slaver and victim were
brought upon it, Mr. Johnson breath
til his last a few moments after reach
ing here, and Duckworth was taken
before Justice Gotiger, who committed
hiui to jail to await the action of the
grand jury, which is now iu session.—

A safe belonging U) the Baltimore

their plunder undiscovered.

All accounts agree that, nothwith
standing the great severity of the win

was known to lie in a more promising
