More About tbiat “Arrangement.”
Ip toother column of to-day’s paper
willbefound a communication from “ One
Who Knows,” which will throw a little
more light on the subject broached by .the
same writer in our last week’s issue. It
"places one of the candidates for the Cony
grpss’ipnal nomination, and two of the
American Conferrccs, in no very enviable
position. The “satisfactoryarrangement”
and selling out of the American party,
* proylo.ualy referred to, will now be fully
understood. By what authority, we would
ask, Imre those two American .(Jonferrees
entered into this “satisfactory arrange
ment.” Were theysdelegated the power
thus to meet in secret council with the
Conferrccs ; of a different party and enter
into an “arrangement” known to be con-
trarytothc will of the American jmrty of
this county and in violation of the publish
ed .instructions of fifty of the seven
ty delegates who elected them, and that
.tpo, without giving anyinformhtion of
their intentions to their party ? There is
.something u rotten, in Denmark,” and it is
time the Americans of Blair were waking
tp (o the fact. That an attempt has been
.made tor sell them out ,is now certain, but
it is for them to say' whether they will
ratify the bargain. True, flpjfc itre some

to the Republicans. They hold a kind of
mock auction —the bidder examines and
prouounces them good Americans and
-.gives a bid. Peter Funk steps in and he
■is-knocked off to the Republican candi
date at a high price, when he really does
not know that there is an American orga
nization in the county. Can it be expec
ted that such men express the sentiments
Of .the American party of Blair, and that
it will be governed by their actions ? No
Air. Let not the friends of the Congres
sional candidate referred to expect that by
such means they can drive ,the American
party of this county into his support.—
Jffowever it might have been inclined
bo .regard him bad he pursued an honest,
straightforward coarse and obtained the
nomination, his tampering with the Amer
ican‘Conferees to secure their inflnencein;
‘violation of their instructions, has raised
a barrier over which he will udt he able to

. The hut number of above named
paperooutahftan article in reply to the
communication of t( One Who Knows/’
which appeared in the Tribune of last
Week, in which the editor hoots at the idea
if a u bargain and sale” and the “ satis
factory arrangement,” and attempts to
ridicule with high sounding words and
Witty (?) sarcasms the non-de-plume of the
writer, plainly indicating that he evi
dently knows more about the whole trans
actions than he cares to have made pub
lic. He asks the writer to “speakright
out in meotinV* and he has done so, with
out any "hinting and punting’' about
it. The public can now guess whether He
“ knows” anything about what he intima
ted in his former communication. The
Star can now be convinced that the Con
ferees of the American party are not what
they were supposed to be, although they
may be what he wished them. The Amer
ican party is not governed by a single ad
viser, tobr will they be. handed over to a
minority party by a few soheemiug and
designing politicians. The trick is now
too transparent for the Star, to attempt
to cover it up by the oiy of “American
Republican” “good man” who will “ run
the largest vote'* Recent actions have
materially/diminished the expected vote
both hep and elsewhere. But enough ;
“ One Who Knows ” is able }to take care
of himself. i
Bou In the-last number of the Tyrone
Star we find almost a' column article in
reply to our intimation that there were
peaceable and more satisfactory means of
Setting the difficulty now existing between
the editor Of the £tor and the editor of
the Hollidaysburg Standard. We did
not presume that our advice would be re
ceived and noted upon, nevertheless we
are hot convinced by the lengthy article
in the Star that we were not'correct. —
The editor .pf the Star argues, and we
| agree with him, that character is as valu
able as life, and then asks, in substance,
whether he should not pursue his present
coarse to sustain his character which has
been assaildd by the editor of the Stan
dard. We, ask, what does he expect to re
cover by a course of law that could not
have been more easily recovered by other
means. Can a price be placed on life ?
and if character be as valuable as life, will
money pay for it ? Certainly not. Then
what is to be gained by carrying the mat
ter up to Court ? Nothing more, we opine,
than giving the affair a more notorious
publication, unless the editor of the Star
places a valuation On his reputation, and
should succeed in recovering it; afid cter
that would)be but* a small remuneration.
‘We arc nol the apologist of Mr. Traugh,
never having spoken to him about the
matter, hut we entertain too high an opin
ion of his courtesy as a gentleman and
| editor, to believe that he would not have
made due reparation for the wrong done
the editor of Star , had he been convinced
of his error, and our only excuse for med
ling with the case is a dislike to witness
such proceedings between our brethren of
the press. Wd do not pretend to dictate
to the editor of the Star. As he is the
agrieved party he has a right to pursue
whatever course to him seemeth best.

dwell upon the fact .that the first news des

that the same intelligence should have

the most memorable occasions of their
reigns, to renew to each other most sol
emn pledges of peace and friendship, and
alliance. And it is how no common co

Masssa. Editors :—Tho| “ Satisfaotoiy ar
rangement” has become afixedfbet A secret
affecting, composed of two |of the Congressional
Conferees chosen by the American County Con*
rention and the three Bepnblioan Conferees,
was held at this place to-day, andthree of their
number were selected to represent them in
Johnstown, on the Bth of September. This,
meeting was got up prvxUtty, by. tbe friends of
8. 8. Blaif, Esq., without consultation with the
Americans of the county and without notice to
any of the other Congressional candidates ; and
in order to Mde their actions from the glare of
the noonday sun, after:ample consultation with
Mr. Blair and his supporters, the Conferees met
and sat with dosed doors. I
. This is the “ satisfkctoiy|arrangement” which
Mr. Blair spoke of in his letter to Cambria coun
ty, which Mr. Kopelin said he saw the day pre
vious to the meeting of .their county Contention
and which induced him to throw his influence
in favor of Mr. Blair. When it was whispered
that this ‘‘satisfactory arrangement” had been
made, and that two of the' American Conferees
had been secured, by what means yet remains to
be seen, and disregarding their instructions in
tended to support Mr. Blair for Congress, it
could scarcely be credited, and it was not until
Mr. Hileman, one of the Conferees, himself sta
ted the fact in confidence, that the rumor was re
duced to a certainty.
The first step in this “satisfactory arrange
ment” was the nomination of the Republican
ticket by the friends of Mr. Blair, for the avow
ed purpose of holding it in Urrorum over the
heads of the Americans. Like the English-Kan
sas Bill it was to act at once as a bibe and a
threat. They say to the Americans in substance
“nominate Mr, Blair, gentlemen, and be will
take down the Republican ticket; defeat bis
nomination and rive ticket shall stay in the field,
and we will defeat yonr county nominations.—
“ This was the two-edged sword that was to be
need upon the masses to awe them into submis
sion, whilst the Conferees were being acted on
by arguments equally as potent.
It now remains to he seen if this “arrange
ment” will be “ satisfactory” to the Americans
of the county. The “ Straight-outs” of Altoo
na, Logon and Antes have too often braved cer
tain defeat in defence of their principles to be
driven into the support of Mr. Blair by any
threats that either he or his friends may use,
and the American party of the county >s com
posed of high-minded and honorable to
be bribe# into the support of a candidate for
Congress, even though his Mends may promise
in return the election'of their coanty ticket, and
notwithstanding the course their Conferees may
have seen fit to adopt.
If the Johnstown Conference endorses thii
“ satisfactory arrangement” you will hear from
me farther. “ Os* Who Knows.”
Hollidaysbnrg, August, 31,1868.
ILast Friday week, the overseer of Mr.
James K. Polk’s plantation (some eight miles
below this) undertook to whip one of the hands,
when the others interfered and rescued the cul
prit. Mr. Mars, the overseer, then started out
fonossistance, and during his absence the ne
groes armed themselves with axes, hatchets,
clubs, scythes, stones, &c,, retreated to the gin
house, hade defiance to the overseer and bis
Mends, and swore they would die to a man be
fore one of their party should be whipped. Mr.
Amos Duke, in attempting to arrest one of
them, was struck across the side of the bead
with a club, it is feared, will lose one of his eyes
from the effects of the blow. Things continued
in this state up to Tuesday last, when a-party
of some seventy-five citizens of this place and
Troy visited the plantation, and arrested every
negro on dhe place. They were tried the next
morning bn the plantation, before Judge Fisher,
who committed four of the ringleaders to j.iil to
await the action of the grand Jury. The bal
ance, some fifty or sixty, were whipped accord
ing to their several deserts. —Cpffeeville (Hits.)

Childish Idiosyscbasy. —A child of barely
three y ears, the son <>f a friend of ours, was re
cently desirous of visiting the menagerie, but
being afflicted with the whooping-cough, his
parents objected thereto, although they allowed
his brother—a little fellow - two or three years
older—-permission. The senior brother, deem
ing this a triumph over the younger, said to
him, in a bantering way, “ Ah, bub, you can’t
go to the show, but I can!” VBub” was evi
dently annoyed, and, as his tiny eyes became
suffused, replied, “ But I’ll do, and if pa don’t
’ct me. I’ll give _de el’pbant de toopin toff !”
After which terrible threat, overcome with emo
tion, he burst into tears.”
A few nights since,' while a storm was raging,
the same child inquired of his grandma, while
listening to the thunder, “'When Dod walks so,
why don’t he foil trough?”—a question that
his graiid parent, with her much superior years
and wisdom, added to her knowledge of the
Scriptures and theology, was unable to answer.

tenons case of abttcwtion end pn*«Me murder
of a distinguished ladjfrom the New York, 7H
bune, of Monda-ydantf-
On the 20th oflast month Mrs. Brennan was
in Ne w York, visiting some of her friends in the
upper part of the city. She told her friends
that she was going home by the afternoon boat.
Ww Brennag has for some time past been stay
ng at the residence of her mother at Chelsea,
Station Island, and when speaking of going
mine, she meant to this place. It appears,
lowever, that she did not return to her mother's
hat night, and the following morning her rel
atives and friends made inquiries for her at va
rious places throughout the city, but were Una
ble to obtain any information as to her wherea
bouts. „ ■ l.
On the 22dDr. Crime, a brother of Mrs. Bren
nan’s gave information to Deputy Superinten
dent Carpenter relative to her disappearance.—
Deputy Carpenter placed the matter in the hands
of Detective Officers Wildey andMoDougal, and
deputised them specially ; to investigate the af
fair. These officers at first obtamed a full and
minute description of Mra-Brennan, and made?
inquiries of Various persons, who asserted that
they had seen her last. They ascertained that
a lady dressed in black was teen atthe Port
Richmond Ferry at 8 o’clock, a ftwmomepts
after the boat had gone, and that she appeared
greatly disappointed at bring left She tookan
up-town stage from the ferry, N | '
Officers Wildey and MeDongal subsequently
braced Mrs. Brennan, or a lady dressed in black
supposed to be her, on board of the 7 o’clock
boat—the last boat down to the island for the
day. A gentleman was found who said that; he
bad noticed the lady on the boat, and, from the
fact of her being unattended, took more notice
of her, than he otherwise would. He/ saw her
go to a livery stable, and subsequently saw her
get into a hack, into which she was followed by
a man, and the vehicle was driven offi?
The officers visited the stable ana saw thp
proprietor, who told them that he recollected a i
lady answering the description coming to the
stable and asking for a carnage. She asked
him if he was acquainted With Col. Crane, ami
he replied by right only—-that he knew his broifi
er. His attention was soon after directed else-?
where, and/the lady made an agreement with
one of the drivers, but. which: one he did'hot
know.
The gentleman above mentioned said that a
man followed Mrs. B. but did not speak to 1 her
or she to him. He approached tho carriage af
ter she had got iq* and saying something to; the
driver, jumped into the-vehicle, Which was iheh
driven off. From this and other information
which the police for the present withhold,.; the
officers came to the conclusion that Mrs. Bren
nan hod been violated and then murdered, and
her body secreted somewhere on the island.—
Owing to the darkness of the night the gentle
man was unable to distinguish the countenance
of the person who followed her into the carriage,
and could not for the same reason identify the
driver. Officers Wildey and MeDougal return
ed to the city and gave all the information to
the Deputy, who detailed Officers Poole and
Stevenson to go down to the island and make a
thorough search. j
This search was made, bat without avail.—
The next day the Deputy accompanied theioffi
cers and searched the grounds and roadi for
hftlfa mile from the residence of Mrs. Crane,
the mother of Mrs. Brennan. Every place where
a body might have been boned was searcheid.—
No trace of the missing woman was however
here found.
From all the facts obtained, the police are
certainthat Mrs. Brennan left Quarantine or
Tompkinsvilje in a carriage, and that some man
got into the vehicle with her. The drivers of
the carriage were closely questioned,' ant( one
of them, who gave; a suspicions account of him
self oh the night in question, was apprehended.
Other parties are suspected r but facts enough
have not yet been obtained to warrant their ar
rest An investigation is to be had ii) the; ease
before a magistrate at Port Richmond thisweek,
I when some interesting' facts relative to the dis
| appearance of Mrs. Brennan will be elicited.
A Very Tragical Joke.
Quizzing, says the Mobile Tribune , has some
times awkward results. Every good thing has
some attendant evil, and so of this. There are
dangers accompanying it, that they who aspire
to enjoy the unspeakable pleasure of enjoying
the frightening, deceiving, or disappointing of
their fellow-creatures, instead of mere old-fash
ioned and more, bumble jokesj must make up
their minds to do so at some risk. A case of
this sort, which occurred of late on. the Pacific
coast, is thus related'by a California paper.:
“ Two of the Rogue river Indian Chiefs, a
father and son, were sent down from Fort; Van
couver, W. T., to San Francisco, by the steam
er Columbia. On tbeir passage down, these
Indians were informed by some of the foolish
passengers that they were going to be hung
The savages resolved to sell their lives dearly ;
so, In the dead of night on tho 11th of June,
while the passengers were all asleep, these In
dians stealthily rose, and stealing from so pie of
the slumbering guards revolvers and knives,
suddenly commenced an indiscriminate shooting
and cutting among the people aronnd
Tho passengers, startled from sleep by the sound
of pistol shots and the shrieking of the wtmnd
ed, became panic struck. The'ilighta were put
out, and an indescribable scene followed- \ Ope
passenger in the breast, three ptbers
were cut, one*woman being badly .Inju red?; The
officers of the boat finally armed fhempires,
and, after a desperate straggle, succeeded in
I wounding and overpowering the savages. - They
weje both wounded, one of them very severely.
