THE BORDER BUD CLAISLS.
T thi Editor 0 Tht Riming TtlfgrapK
In yonr Issne of March SO yon have an Article
on the "Border Raid Claims," at you are pleased
to stigmatize them, in which yon animadvert
With uncalled-for acrimony and bitterness
against the loyalty of the Border people daring;
the war, and I Irust yon will not refnse to give
the other side a hearing.
Yonr article, like many others In other paper,
It unfair, and calculated to make one-elded and
erroneous impressions on the people outside of
tht despoiled district who are unacquainted
with the facts in the case.
It is not my purpose to enter on any exten
sive defense of the patriotism and loyalty of the
border people. They need none. The records
tire their Justification and their defense. Not
withstanding all their trials and tribulations
such as no other section of the Slate endured they
furnished as much of aei and material for the
Union army and cause, and did it with as much
sJacrity,and In every respect sacrificed as much,
as any other section of the State. For these
common sacrifices they ask no compensation,
but It Is for the extraordinary sacrifices, and
which were not common to other portions, but
were over and above all others, that they ask,
and justly too, to be indemnified and placed, as
nearly as may be, on an equal footing with their
fellow-citizens of the balance of the Common
wealth. I know from personal knowledge that, so far,
at least, as my own county (Fallon) is con
cernedand I believe the same is true ef other
counties the aggregate of the claims presented
Is not more than one-half the loss actually and
directly sustained by this people.
The indirect losses of our people by reason of
the disruption and paralyzation of their indus
trial interests during those terrible years of (to
them) blight and decay are far greater than
their direct losses for which they ask partial
Indemnity.
Whilst other sections, remote from the border
and exempt from the oft-repeated visitations of
the Rebel thieves and marauders, as Jenkins,
Imboden, Mosby, Stuart, McCausland, and
others, were realizing from their uninterrupted
and prosperous industries almost fabulous re
turns, the industries of our people were crippled
and, almost destroyed by these Invasions. The
people of those sections, removed and secure
from raids and invasions, grew rich out of the
Industries so largely stimulated by the war,
while the people of this section grew poorer by
reason of their industries being crushed and
broken by the same war. To others it gave
prosperity: to us it gave crippled industry and
devastated homes and fields, and a general
paralyzation of all business. It will not do to
Bay that others performed their duty to the
Government more patriotically than we did.
No other section was more barely drained of
able-bodied men, and none sent more soldiers to
the Union army in proportion to the population,
than this raided and invasion-cursed section.
Not only did we fill our own quotas In all the
calls for troops, but furnished large numbers of
volunteers for some of the richer counties in the
eastern portion of the State to aid them in filling
their quotas and saving their own men, and be
sides this, in the earlier part of the war, many
along the border enlisted in Maryland Union
regiments, and some even in Virginia Union
organizations.
"We do not claim that we were exempt from
disloyal elements in our midst, but we do assert
that this existed among us to no greater degree
than it did in Clearfield, Lancaster, Philadelphia
city, or any other part of the State, and, more
over, very few, if any, of this class of persons
have presented any claims, because, as a rule,
they were spared spoliation at the hands of the
Rebel marauders, who preferred visiting their
vengeance on the heads of the loyal portion of
the community.
We are well aware that in many instances
persons have included in their claims items
which on paper have the appearance of insig
nificance, and which to you and others unfa
miliar with the necessities of the case may seem
even pusillanimous, but the half barrel of macke
rel at which you sneer may have been the sav
ings out of the earnings of many days of toil
such as the editor of Thk Evening Telegraph
Is a stranger to, and the hat at which you are
disgusted may be more to that man than an
entire wardrobe would be to those creatures of
luxury and abundance who never have known a
want themselves, nor know how to relieve It in
others.
The Blander about the border people selling
water to soldiers is a stale rehash of an old
Btory which exists only in the disordered brain
of some whose acrimony is stronger than their
love of truth. I have myself, and have heard
others do the same thing, said to some boy or
man, not unfrequently a colored brother, as we
passed along, "Here, fill my canteen with water
and bring it to me quick, and I will pay yon."
Sometimes the proffered pay was accepted, and
sometimes it wasn't. It is, no doubt, from cir
cumstances like these that many of these
charges originate, as I have on occasions like
these heard soldiers cursing the poor devils for
accepting the projf'ered pay, but I never saw,
nor do I know of, any one peddling water; and
there were not, at all events, a score of such
cases either at Antietam or Gettysburg, and it is
unfair and unwarranted to apply such a charge
to the people of a whole community of counties
Indiscriminately.
More than nine-tenths ef the aggregate of
these claims is in the hands of men and women
of unquestioned and unquestionable loyalty.
Many of them are held by soldiers who them
selves were at the front fighting the battles of
their country while their homes were ravaged
by Rebel invaders, and many more are held by
those who gave their fathers, sons, husbands, or
brothers to the Union caute, while I do not
know of a single claim on file presented by any
one who was fn active sympathy with the Re
bellion. From the Items you publish, your readers will
naturally infer that, because these individual
claims are small in amount, they exhibit a pusil
lanimous spirit and want of patriotism on the
part of the claimants. Such, at least, is the
tone and drift, if not the design, of yonr stric
tures. Permit me, sir, to make a statement of
one or two of these claims which you hold up as
unworthy cases, and by which you would have
people judge all the others. I accept the issue,
and submit the cases to the Impartial judgment
of your readers.
The claim of Charles Selsor, of McConnelU
burg, which yon parade as one wholly uomeri
torlous and as an example of all the others. Is
the first I will notice. This claim consists of a
suit of new broadcloth clothes, and some moat
making in ine aggregate about f 40. Now, let
us look Into the merit of this case, at which
yon and others are disposed to sneer.
Mr. tielsor is a very poor man, aged and grey
haired; a tailor by trade and dependent on his
dally earnings for support tor himself and
family, and this loss is as much, nay, posdbly
more, to bim than the entire loss of Tub Even
ing Telegraph printing establishment would be
to its proprietors. The items above specified
are all for which Mr. Selsor presents a claim,
but it does not eover his entire loss by at least
one-half. The vandals sacked his bouse, at ttie.v
did others, and appropriated and destroyed
much else, for which be makes no claim. To
aggravate his case, the suit of clothes taken had
been made by him for a customer who
held him responsible for the value thereof.
The meat taken from bim was all
the poor man had In tbat line, and, besides this,
nearly every particle of subsistence he possessed
was taken by the thieves, leaving him in a very
unpleasant predicament, and most of bis neigh
bors were in no better situation. Mr. Belsor
could, very Justly, have presented a claim for
three or more times the amount he did, but he
preferred not to do it. lie is a thoroughly loyal
man, and every con he had capable of bearing
arms was, at the time of this occurrence, and
all through the war, in the Union armv battling
for his country, and it was only the advanced
years of the father that prevented him being
there also.
I submit to your candor whether this is a cose
to be held up to the people of Pennsylvania to
be scoffed at, and yet you present it as a sample
of all others.
Again. The case of a claimant In Ayr town
ship, which you hold up as a subject for scandal,
Is that of a widow lady whose only two sons
were in tne union army, The claim she pre
sents amounts to $247, the principal item of
which is for a horse pressed into the Union ser
vice by some of the soldiers of Milroy's army In
the retreat from Winchester. This horse she
had tben but recently purchased to aid her in
her efforts to make a living from her farm among
the hills. She paid tUO for the animal.
About seven or eight months afterwards the
horse turned up at Cbambersburg, where some
cavalry regiments had returned to reorganize,
and the horse was recognized by some persons
who had previously known him. but he was
now staved, spavined, and so badly broken
down that he was condemned and turned into a
corral to die, or to be sold, with the brand "U.
S." and the letter "C." on him. An effort was
made to obtain compensation for the horse at
government price irom the United States offi
cials without success, but instead the horse was
ordered to be returned to the owner. So badly
was he used up that it took two days to get him
home, a distance of thirty miles, and after much
irouoie ana considerable expense in doctoring,
the horse, for which less than a year before this
widow lady bad paid $240. she now sold for $50.
which, with the clalmahe now presents for his
services, etc., would aggregate ner f 213 lor the
$240 she paid for him. without addinsr the ex-
Sense she was at in recovering him, and without
avlng any services from him of any account.
The next most important item in her claim is
for a field of oats, which, if she bad been per
mitted to harvest and market at the then price
of oats, would have realized her at least, so said
by, competent judges, $150, while her claim for
it is $75. But the marauding Rebel thieves
passed that way (and not tor the first or second
time either), and turned their whole force of
several regiments of horses into the field to
"browse," so that what was left scarcely paid
for gathering and threshing.
The third and last item in this claim is for a
pair of new and superior blankets taken by the
'"Johnnies," for which she asks $10, but which
cost her more money than that in those davs.
This makes the sum total of her claim, but not
of her loss. Iler house was at different times
sacked and ransacked by the incarnate devils of
rebeldom, and much was destroyed or carried
away, instead or $247 sbe could justly have
summed up a claim of $500 or $000, and even
mure; out sne cnose not to ao so.
This widow lady, who deserves better than to
be treated with opprobrium, was intensely loyal,
and willingly, but naturally with a sad heart.
sent her only two sons into the service of her
country, content to struggle along under dlffl
cnltles as best she could with the assistance of
her daughters. Sbe always welcomed to her
house and fed and sheltered any Union soldiers
who passed that way, to the extent of her ability
to do, and never accepted one cent of compen
sation ior so cioing. nerseir ana daughters, like
all the patriotic ladies in that community,
alwavs labored to provide for and f reel v cava
from their depleted stores to the Sanitary and
Christian Commissions, and yet because she
deems it just to aBk for compensation for a
tune oi ner losses (not ner willing sacrilices),
her claim is paraded in the public prints as un
worthy, and herself proclaimed, by implication
at least, as disloyal and unpatriotic.
Such is the history of these two cases, truth-
iniiy stated, wnicn you nave selected as good
subject for jest and jeer, and labor to bring
oaium on tne lust claims oi tne Doraer people,
who made not only all the ordinary sacrifices of
war, but suffered these extraordinary spolla
tlons besides, and the paralyzation of all busl
ness, growing poorer and poorer, while the
communities outside the repeatedly invaded
district enjoyed a degree of prosperity and
realized returns irom capital and labor unpre
cedented in the history of the State.
And these two claims which yon seek to bur
lesque and the claimants whom yon aim to be
little in the eyes of their fellow-citizens abroad
are but fair average specimens of the others
you publish, and. Indeed, of the ninety-nine one-
nunoreatns oi an oi mem. olton.
McConnellsburg, Fulton co., April 18, 1871.
MUSCULAR METHODISTS,
Disgraceful Christian Riot In Long Island
Preacher Kelsey Arrested The Fight
Against the Conference.
Four months aero the people of Loner Island
were shocked at the turbulent proceedings of
tne Methodists oi itockvuie ceutre, L. 1., in
attempting to eject Rev. Mr. Keleey from the
parsonage after they had driven him from the
church. The circumstances of the case, as given
at tbat time, do not need to be recapitulated
A month ago the trustees called the people ta
getber, and they resolved not to receive any
minister from the conference. The conference,
however, appointed Rev. Messrs. Corner and
Dutcher to take charge of the circuit and preach
alternately in the old church. The people knew
that the new ministers wonld contrive to get
POSSESSION OP THB PARSONAGE,
and determined to prevent it. Mr. Kelsey con
cluded to leave the house on Tuesday, aud Mr.
Corner was to move in. Hearing this, about
fifty men kept guard about the parsonasre dur
ing Monday night, and were relieved by as many
on Tuesday morning. At 10 o'clock a truck
drove up to the parsonage, and soon after a
piano was brought out from the house. This
seemed to be the signal for a descent, and
several men tried to force their way into the
house, but failed. Frederick Simonson, one of
the leaders, had an altercation with Mr. Kelsey,
and the latter told bim that if h attempted to
cross his threshold without authority he would
"pit a holb in him."
Simonson instantly went to Hempstead and
firocured an order of arrest for Mr. Kelsey, and
n another hour he was arraigaed in court.
After a patient hearlog of the case the Justice
discharged Mr. Kelsey, who returned to the par
sonage, to find It surrounded by a party of men
all uttering vengeance against him, and one of
them said if he came out again he would lay
him low for the last time. A half-clad, partially
drunken man guarded the gate aud refused to
allow Mr. Dutcher to enter. A strong-minded
woman, who was determined to see Mrs. Kelsey,
knocked several men down and finally reached
the object of her visit. The party lingered
about the house during the day, and towards
evening began mnklng threats of every kind.
As Mr. Kelsey's life seemed in danger the Jus
tice detailed some constables to protect him, aud
Issued warrants for the arrest of fifty members
of the church, including the trustees praying
and exhorting bands on
A CHARGE OF RIOT.
Yesterday Sheriff llenry and his deputies
were busy making arrests. Some found ball
and were released, while others were not so
fortunate and were placed in jail. This has had
a salutary effect, but It will be but temporary.
However, Mr. Kelsey will have time to get
safely out of the "dark.unchrUtian valley" before
tbey can resume operations. Although members
of the church, they swear menacingly, and will
now make war upon Mr. Corner. They will
not allow any one connected with the confer
ence to enter the old church, and deserving
parlies have been burled without funeral rites in
consequence. They are determined to have
possession of the parsonage or to lay it in ashes.
Mr. Corner at present holds the keys, and some
of bis furniture is in the house. lie will not
vacate the parsonage until compelled by law.
The old church has been transformed Into a
lodging-house and res tan rant, the rioters sleep
ing and eating there, having their meals
brought to them. N. Y. Herald, yvtterday.
