THEEBIxfc SEWS,
From every part of the State come
the tidings of accessions to the Democ
racy. The attempt to force Negro
Suffrage on our State through the in
strumentality of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, the short-comings of Grant's ad
ministration and the corruption and
official malversation at the State capi
tal, joined with the personal unpopu
larity of Governor Geary, have thor
oughly disgusted the rank and liie of
the radical party and have caused ev
en many of its leaders to regard the
eauvass with indifference. This is the
case throughout the State, but especi
ally is it observable in Philadelphia
and in the eastern and central counties.
The indications now are that Packer
and Pershing will be elected by at least
10,000 majority.
I u order to placeour success beyond all
doubt,"to makeassurancedoubly sure,"
it is only necessary for every Democratto
yo to the election and vote. This time
the Democracy are perfectly united on
their State nominations. A large con
servative vote is gravitating to our side.
Therefore, let us put forth our whole
strength and make our victory overwhel
ming. Our word for it, that if we poll
as large a Democratic vote as that east
for our State Ticket at the last October
election, we shall carry the State by
20,000 majority. We can poll that vote.
Will it be done? Let the Democrats
of the several election districts answer.
To bring out a full vote, much work
must be done. The tooting of horns,
the rattling of drums, the inkling of
cymbals, the splitting of throats by
public speakers, are of but little a
vail. They are sound and fury, signi
fying nothing. Thorough, syste
matize! organization of each and every
election district by the active Demo
crats in the respective districts, is what
is needed. Let this he had and there
can be no trouble in getting out every
vo'cr to the polls. Never mind the
blowing of radical bauds and radical
speakers. It is all wind. Let us work
while they tool and talk.
THE FJFTEKNTfi AMENDMENT fas
tens Negro Suffrage irrevocably upon
the people of this State. Shall the
snap judgment taken on the people by
the last legislature in ratifying this A
mendiiient, be permitted to stand ? If
not, vote for FJNDLAY, NOBLE and
SIPE. ________
VOTE FOR GEORGE ELDER
FOR COMMISSIONER. He is a
gentleman of experience, sound judg
ment and uniropeaohed integrity. He
will see that theradicaUhievcsat Ilar
risburg do not rob our county treasury
by demands for State Taxes levied
without authority of law.
THOME NEVE* MIUIUSS.
The radical newspapers have not
yet succeeded in explaining what be
came of the Seven Millions oj Dollars
spent during the first two years of Gov.
Geary's administration. They dare
not itemize the account. They dare
not inform thejpeopie to what uses it
was applied. Upwards of three million
of that sum they have utterly failed to
account for. It was given in salaries
and perquisites to lazy radical officials
at Harrisburg; to pasters and folders
who never performed any service and
who either remained at home until the
time came to draw their pay or loafed
around the slums and dens of the cap
ital beguiling their idle hours in li
centious and vicious pursuits; to radi
cal favorites who wer • given the print
ing jobs of the legislature; to clerks in
thedepartment number has been
more than doubled in lateyears; to civ
il code commissioners who enjoy their
otium cum dignitute at $2,500 per an
num ; to Geary and his understrappers
whose salaries have been increased ; to
numerous secretaries which eat out the
substance of the people. Shall the
men who cannot and dare not explain
to the people what they have done
with the millions of taxes wrung from
them, be given another lease of power ?
Shall a Governor be re-elected the rec
ord of whose administration is stain
ed with this waste of public treasure?
Shall members of the legislature be re
turned, whose votes have been deliber
ately cast for this reckless appropriation
of the people's money. The coming e
lection will decide. Let every voter
make up his mind to rebuke the cor
rupt and improvident rule which is
dragging our grandold Commonwealth
from her high position in the commu
nity of states, and fixing upon her
once bright escutcheon the stain and
corrosion of political corruption.
82,500 A YEA IT.
W. Maclay Hall, tiie Chairman of
the Radical County Committee is one
of the three Commissioners appointed
by Geary to revise the civil code.—
These Commissioners are to remain in
olliee until 1871, at a salary of $2,500 a
year.
Mr. Hall finds time to attend to his
practice In our courts, to superintend
his farm, to travel more or less, and to
boss the radical politics in this county.
With these laborious duties to per
form, it is not presumable that he has
many spare moments to devote to the
"revising" business. His salary, how
ever, goes on at the rate of $2,500 a
year.
We refer to this matter merely to
show how Geary has pensioned off
greedy and seedy radical politicians.
The work that is to be done in the
revision of the civil code, could be eas
ily performed by one man in the time
allowed the three Commissioners ap
pointed by the governor. Rut then
there were three radical politicians
who must be pensioned upon the tax
payers at the rate of $2,500 a year.
THE I ATE B I.NT OX THE STATE EBT.
Let the voters of Bedford county re
member that during the administra
tion of John W. Geary, the interest on
the State Debt has been increased from
4, 44 and 5 toO per cent.
By this operation the Common
wealth paid in 1807, just $94,063
more interest than in 1806, and in 1808
the increase over 1566, was $172,554!
This shows a loss to the Commonwealth
in two years, of $266,617! Only
think of it, TWO HUNDRED AND
SIXTY SIX TIIOUSAND, SIX HUN
DRED AND SEVENTEEN DOL
LARS thrown away, in two years,
by this increase in tho rate of interest!
Will the Bedford Inquirer please in
form its readers in regard to this mat
ter? Is this not true as gospel, every
word of it, Mr. Inquirer f Come, now,
an honest confession is good for the
soul, especially the soul of a radical ed
itor. What say you in regard to this
charge against your party, Guilty, or
Not Guilty >
VOTE FOR JOHN P. REED FOR
PROTHONOTARY. A more capa
ble man than Mr. Reed could not have
been nominated. Through the most
terrible trials he has always been a
steadfast Democrat.
THE infamous Registry Act, passed
by a radical legislature and appoved
by a radical Governor, will cost the
tax-payers of this State over ONE
MILLION OF DOLLARS ! And this we
are to take as an evidence of "retrench
ment and reform." And the party that
made up this item of costs for the tax
payers to foot, asks to be retained in
otlice. Will the people sustain them ?
We think not.
VOTE FOR WM. KEYSER FOR
SHERIFF. He has always been a
hard-working Democrat and deserves
the united support of the party.
KU-KLUX outrages are scarce, con
sidering that we are so near an im
portant election. Shall we bo trcsi
ted to a horrible dish of skinned
niggers before the 12th of October?—
Look out for it.

THE COST OF THE REGISTRY
LAW.
t EE*BEIT. HI BIIEX OX THETAX-
I-VYEK.V
A Million or nollnrs Annually the
, lplee of the Elective Franchise
I*il lv the People of Penn
sylvania.
Our animadversions on tire odious
character of the Registry Law as a
barrier in the way of the voter in his
approach to the polls, must now be
supplemented by a few words in re
gard to the cost entailed upon the tax
payer by the execution of this infam
ous statute. Not only is the voter sub
jected by it to insult and vexation*
but he is compelled to pay dearly for
the privilege of suffering under its
outrageous provisions. We have made
a calculation of the expense attending
the execution of this law, and find
that it will exceed One Million Dol
lars.' We give the reader our data
and figures:
There are 2,100 townships and
wards, and boroughs not divided into
wants, in the State. There are, there
fore, 2,100 Assessors or Registers.
These, by the terms of the Registry
Law, are required to commence regis
tration on the first of June and to
close it ten days before the election.
Their work proceeds during the
months of June, July, August and
September, and the average time for
which they will be paid will be %
days. Their pay will be Tated not be
low SO per diem. The printing of
Registry Books, Blank Affidavits, Ac.,
(not computing the cost of these for
the city of Philadelphia) will average
at least $2OO to each county. The ex
tra clerk hire of the county commis
sioners for making out duplicates of
the Registry Books and furnishing
them to election boards, will be about
$l5O to a county, (not estimating the
cost for Philadelphia). There are GGO,-
006 voters in the State. One in every
three of them wiil lose a day in having
himself registered. Now, let us ascer
tain the sum this will aggregate:
2.100 Assessors, at $3 per Jay, for 96 day 5.604.800
Printing for 65 counties 13.000
Extra clerk hire for commr's 9.750
Loss of a day to 220,000 voters, averaged
at $2 per day 440,000
Total $1,067,550
From this calculation, which is cer
tainly a moderate one, it appears that
the people of Pennsylvania will pay
upwards of One Million Dollars , (not
counting the cost of printing, canvas
sers, etc., for the city of Philadelphia)
for the luxury of being insulted and
trammeled by the requirements of the
Registry Law. Gov. Geary and the
radical legislature,in foisting this hate
ful enactment on the people, have
madea base and cowardly attack on the
freedom of the ballot and at the same
time have required that those whom
they would rob of their rights
shall pay the cost of this assault upon
their liberties.
MEN OF PENNSYLVANIA ! Are you
willing that thisexecrable law shall re
main on the statute-book? Will you
permit the knavish trick by which you
are marked as serfs on what should be
the roll of freemen, to be played upon
you without an effort to rebuke its au
thors? Are you really slaves to the
men whom you chose as your servants?
Your action at the ballot-box will give
the answer.
THE people want an honest man and
will accordingly vote for Geary.—ln
quirer.
This is the most unblushing piece
of impudence that we have ever wit
nessed. Geary honest ? Why we
need but call the Pittsburg Dispatch
and the Philadelphia Telegraph , two
leading radical journals of this; state,
to prove the utter untruthfulnessof fhe
above.
Geary honest? Let the infamous
Herdic act, the Philadelphia "Stock
Yard" bill, the Oil Pipe arrangement,
and the "supplementary proclama
tion" by which an honestly elected
member of Congress was to be cheat
ed out of his seat, answer. Those of
ficial acts of Geary may be considered
as "loyal" to the party, but the peo
ple have never looked upon them as
"honest."
Lurz, of the Inquirer , cried earnest
ly and loudly for but "one man " to
stand up against the wrongs and out
rages that were being perpetrated
by the legislature last winter. Now
that paper advocates the election of the
whole corrupt gang from Geary down.
Has any one been around to see Lutz,
and has his paper been sold out to the
"Ring ?" It looks deeidedlj that
way.
VOTE FOR HUGH MOORE FOR
TREASURER. He is an obliging
gentleman, an honest man and will
make a splendid officer.
"A CHANGE is NOT REFORM," cry
the radicals in their despair. Cut the
people think differently. They evi
dently mean to make a change, in the
hope that retrenchment and reform
will continue to change until the much
desired reform shall come.
VOTE FOR OWEN McGIRR FOR
AUDITOR. Not a word can be utter
ed against the integrity of Mr. Mc-
Girr. He is as true to the interests of
the people as the needle to tho pole.
TUK FIIUUtCU'iIIA TELEGRAPH
AS# (iVKKSOH CKAKY.
We publish on our first page, this
week, an article from the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph giving the reasons
why it can no longer support the
claims of Governor Geary for re elec
tion. In that article the following
seutenee will be found :
"Our opinion of Gov. Geary is toler
ably well known ; w r e do not think atiy
better of him since his renomination
than we did before, but if the republi
cans of this State chopses to vote for
him again, that is their business and
not ours "
In order to show what were the o
pinions of the Telegraph before the re
nomination of the radical candidate we
furnish the following extract. On the
19th of May last it said :
"Most of all he has not that stern in
tegrity which should be as much a
part of his office as his oath, as his sub
serviency to the "Iting" has amply
proved. He wants altogether not ordy
statesmanship, but even that lesser
quality of intelligence which he should
bring to the discharge of his respon
sible trusts. His self-esteem is prepos
terous, his talents tawdry as the tinsel
of the stage. His assumptions of ca
pacity render him ridiculous, and
what he thinks are proofs of his wis
dom, only confirm us in his ignorance.
His dignity is as sham as that of the
false duke in the Honeymoon. Ilis as
sociates, while they should be of such
a character as to hedge him about
with respect, are of such origin as to
lead the weak to think them his jack
als, and no more. His office, in which
only the grave affairs of state should
be considered has been desecrated to
the vilest purposes of brokerage and
sale, and then, when he should alone
go to discharge his solemn duties, he
retires only to prey upon the '"Ring"
and the seekers after his clemency.
With a profundity of ignorance which
nothing hut his personal vanity equals,
he makes speeches, which even after
his clerk has corrected their grammar,
are miracles of bosli and nothingness."
AND now the Inquirer pleads earn
estly for the election of Geary, the pa
tron of legislative thieves, and the
chief of the legislative "ring." Has it
found in him that "one man" who
should rescue the party from the dis
grace brought upon it by the corrupt
and infamous practices of the radical
legislature ia stwinter?
THE man who votes for Governor
Geary and the radical candidates for
the legislature this fall votes—not for
negro suffrage only, which would be
bad enough—but to sanction a palpa
ble violation of the Constitution of the
Commonwealth wlueh declares that
negroes cannot vote. How can the
radicals have the effrontery to ask
honest men to stultify themselves in
this way ? O, the shame of it!
PACKER'S friends have never dared
to deny that for several years past he
has regularly cheated the government
out of more than thirty thousand dol
lars taxes, Ac.— lnquirer.
None but the most depraved po
litical villain has ever dared to make
so mendacious an assertion. And
Lutz knew that he was uttering a vile
falsehood when he penned the above.
LET laboring men remember that
such radical organs as Forney's Press
and the North American recommend
the employment of coolies, who will
not strike." Slavery is to be introdu
ced in the North, by the importation
of coolies, whose bone and muscle are
to build up a moneyed aristocracy.
VOTE FOR A. K. PENCYL FOR
POOR DIRECTOR. He is a good
man in every sense of the word. He
understands Poor House affairs thor
oughly and will make a safe and effi
cient Director.
SJIALI. TIIE RATIFICATION of the
Fifteenth Amendment stand, or shall
it be repealed? is the great question to
be decided in voting for Governor,
Senator and Members of the Legisla
ture.
VOTE FOR J. B. BUTTS FOR
CORONER. His neighbors speak
highly of him in every respect. Let
him receive the full Democratic vote.
SATURDAY, OCT. 2 is the last day on
which you can be registerd. Don't
neglect to go to the Assessor and as
certain whether your name is on his
Registry Book. If not, have it put on
in your presence.
ARE TIIE PEOPLE anxious for an
other raiil on the Treasury by the ar
my of pasters and folders? If so, let
them vote for Geary and the radical
candidates for the legislature,
Now the Inquirer calls Packer "the
bloated bondholder." A while ago it
charged him with "disloyalty" for not
investing in Government bonds. O,
Lutz, thou art a jewel!
THE QUESTION which Governor
Geary and his organs cannot answer is,
What became of the Seven Millions
spent during the first two years of the
present State administration.
GEARY, in his late speeches, says that
he is powerless against the "Ring."
The people will take him at his word
and elect a man who will stand up for
the people. Such a man is Asa Pack
er.
A FULL turn-out on election-day
will ensure the success of the Demo

to do anything, Ac. Many is the day
that we have felt so ourselves, and in
fact have imagined ourselves sick, but
for the life of us could not tell what was
the matter. One day while thuscom

and the hand was hastily withdrawn,
and retreating footsteps plainly told

Schenck's Pulmonic S y r up,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, willcureCon
sumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspejsia, if ta
ken according to directions They are all three
to be taken at the same time. They cleanse tbe
stomach, relax tbe liver, and put it to work : then
the appetite becomes good ; the food digests and
makesgooil blood ; the patient begins to grow in
flesh; tne diseased matter ripens in tho lungs,
and .he patient outgrows the disease and gits
well. This is the only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J 11. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
troatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an easy cxpectora
tion. for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a
slight cough will throw it off. and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleause the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good blood
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely, and tho liver
is soon relieved ; the stools will show what tbe
Pills can do ; nothing hHS ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly poison which is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts tho secretions
of the liver iike Schenck's Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much ; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the secre'ions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or lever. Re
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia. Cataarb, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofcourse the lungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ah
scesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast de
caying. In such cases what must be done ? It
is not only tbe lungs that are wasting, but it is
the whole bpdy. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food Now the
only chance is to take Schenck's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, tho
patient will begin to want food, it willtligesteasi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy and well. This is the only way
to cure consumption.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billions complaints, a9 they are per
fectly harmless
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
tho very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to hie fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since hisreoovery
many thousands similarly affiioted have used Dr.
Schenck's preparations with tho same romarkable
success. Full directions accompanying each,
make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
Dr. Schenck, unless the patients wish their lungs
examined and for this purpose he is professional
ly at his Principal Office, Philadelphia, every
Saturday, where all let ers for advice must be ad
dressed. He is also professionally at No. 32 Bond
Street, New Y'ork, every other Tuesday, and at
No. 35 Hanover Street, Boston, every other
Wednesday. He gives advice free, but for a thor
