General Jail Delivery.
'The new jail it seems will not hold
prisoners. In thisrespeetit is no better
than the old one. What was it ly.zilt
for? For use or ornament? The tax
payers of Centre county will not soon
forget the hue and cry that was raised
against the old jail. It was worth
less. Prisoners were constantly break
ing out. In fact, the Democratic
"powers that be" contended that the
old jail was not only a disgrace to the
county, but of no use at all, and
threatened that . if they did not get
permission to build a new one, they
would be compelled to send the pris
oners to be kept in the jail of some
other county, which could only be
done at a vary heavy expense to the
tax-payers. These arguments often
made and persistently repeated gain
ed the approbation of the Grand
Jury and the Court and permission
was given the -Democratic Commiss
ioners to build a nsw jail. It is true
they were constantly crying out
against high taxes. extravagance &e.
&c., but their action in this matter
proved that there was no honesty or
heart in the cry. The plea was that
of the demagogue, the tears, if any,
were mockodile tears..
They had succeeded in obtaining
power to build a new jail. It must
be no mediocre affair. It must be a
bliilding of huge proportions. magni
fieent and grand—an ornament to the
town, an honor to the county. No
home mechanic was considered good
enough or smart ;nough to execute
the draft for this grand building,
therefore .our home mechanics were
ignored, and the talent of some
tineuished Philadelphian was called
into requMtion, and an extra price
paid for a very poor draft—far infer
ior to that drawn by our Ii how towns
man, Geo. Ws"'ltte: A day was ap
pointed for the letting, and the con
tract was awarded to Charles MeAff,
erty and Jno. Mel/et-mitt for the sum
of $45.700. We are inforuied that
they followed the Philadelphia draft
in every particular, except so far as
the County Commissioners changed it
for the purpose, rs they allcdged of
iMproviog the plan. All the changes
made and the work rendered necess.
ary by said changes, were charged,
and paid for as extra work. What
the Lew- jail really did cost, it has
never keen our pleasure or that of the
tax—payers of Centre if, kn ow .' Th e
amount paid under the head of extras
has been carefully witheld.
If the contractors followed the draft
or worked in accordance with the
changes made and the instructions
given by the Democratic Commissi
oners, we cannot see that any blame
can attach to them. If they did not fol
low the Philadelphia draft and the
stew jail proves a failure still no blame
can attach to them for the reason
that the commissioners assumed the
responsibility by accepting the work,
- thereby declaring it a good .job.
If it was a good job, if it was fin
ished in a workmanlike manner as it
should have been for the amount of
money expended in its erection, how
comes it to pass that it will not bold
- prisioners more securely than did the
old jail. Have the tax—payers been
imposed upon and $45,000 or $55,000
of their hard earned money thrown
away on a great stone pile—perfectly
useless except as an ornament to the
town, and a neat residence fo-• the
lierifi? This appears to be the truth
in the matter. Twice have the ris
tners escaped, and twice have we seen
band bills by the Sheriff offering a
-"Beware for prisoners escaped from

Tax-payers of Cextre county, you

zled, cheated, swindled by this
;sham Democracy 'about long enough.

only hope is to strike off the shuakies

A GoOP Law.—The silly and dan
gerous practice of joking with firearms
prove g rather expensive business
In Mich.., htreafter, The Legislature
.of that State hu passed an act impos
ing a fine of not more than fifty and not
less than five dollars upon any one
"who shall intentionally, without mal
ice, point or .9,itu any lire arm at any
other person." The 'discharging of a
firearm, even when it does not oeca4pn
injury, is punished with a fine of one
hundred dollars, and not less than ona
year's imprisonment. :

The Watchman on.the Rampage.
The Editors: of the Democratic
Watchman, have worked themselves
into fever heat over the ratification of
th e fifteenth article of Amendment,
by our State Legislature. Indeed they
grow furious, and attempt - to frighten
people by billingsgate, slang and low,
vulgar abuse of good men. These
gentlemen, it seems, have yet to learn
that - blackgua.rdism, and low, personal
abuse, cannot supply the place of argu
ment, nor satisfy the intelligent mind.
In speaking of the noble men who vo
ted in favor. of the amendment, and in
favor of that good old JEFFERSON doe
trine,that "All men are created equal,"
goes on to say :
"Our readers will doubtless want to
" know the names of theinfamous"
crew who have, afflicted thiss injury
" upon, our Commonwealth.. We give
"them in small type, divested of capi
tal letters, in order that we may a.p
-,: propriately convey an idea of the es
" ceeding littleness of the : contemptible
"puppies. These • are the names of
" the wretches who voted in the House
"of Representatives to give niggers a
"right to vote in Pennsylvania."
After giving the names obese pa
triotic men without capitals, the -Edi
tor adds :
Entrons
"Every one of the above scoundrels
" are Radicals—dirty, miserable dogs
"that theyare."
To be called "the . infamous crew,"
"contemptible puppies," "wretches,"
" scoundrels," "dirty, miserable dogs,"
&c., by the immaculate Editors of the
Copperhead press, we have no doubt,
will give the Republican members of
the Legislature a great deal of uneasi
ness. Not so • much, perhaps, as it
would, if they_were ignorant of the re
cord of these scandal mongers. They
recognize. in the-e Copperhead Editors
the ears and habits of the same animal
that brayed so furiously during the
dark hours of the rebellion. They well
remember that no epithet was too loW
or me=n for this Copperhead, long
eared to heap upon the brave
soldiers who so nobly engaged in the
great struggle to save the nation's life.
" Lincoln hirelings," " robbers,"
"thieves," " cut throats," "assas
sins," " fratracides," "Lincoln min
ions," " incendiaries," " butchers,"
&c., are but lbw of the epithets applied
by P. G. MEEK & Co., to the Union
soldiers, :sidle fighting to perpetuate
our liberties—to save the nation, and
the old flag, from disrupti',n, and dis
grace.
While the talon soldiers -were
abused, derided and insulted, by these.
men, 119 praise was too extravagant
for every leading Rebel sympathiser
in the country. VALLANDIGHAM, in
famous as be made himself, by be—
traying his own State, and denying
his own doetrino of State rights—reb
el and traitor as he was—was made the
t o tcla r deity of these men and-of all
the smaller lights of the party.
WooDwAlin who `sincerelyhoped that
Pennsylvania would secede . apd,.go
With the South" was honored, aye,
adored- by these enemies of Equal
rights and true Democratic Union,
and has, since the war, for his tree
! son, both to his State and Govern
ment, been rewarded by 'his fellow
traitors and sympathisers with a seat
in the Congress of the nation. Your
political record is known, gentlemen,
the'record of your party is so treason
able, black, and damning, that your
efforts to destroy the character of
loyal and true men must prove futile,.
only returning to sink you still deep
er into the mire of your own filth.
Slimy reptiles are these copperheads;
but perfectly harmless since deprived
of their poison fangs at Appoinattos
Court House by GEN. GRANT and the
brave boys in blue. .
When Thomas Jefferson wrote the
Declaration of:lndependence; declar-.. -
jog "that all men were created equal"
and when it was signed by those in:
mortal names that can never die, nor
be forgotten so long as liberty can
fled a resting place on the Continent
of America, the Student of history
will easily recall the choice epithets
that were heaped upon them by the
TORIES and traitors of that day—the
subjects of King George the 3d.
The TomEs and friends of a Mm:-
melded form of Government opposed,
fought and derided the Declaration
of Independence in 1776 with the
seine unchristian spirit as do now the
tories, rebels and copperheads of 1860
the Fifteenth Amendment to the Con
stitution: Stand by your guns, ye no
ble sons of noble sires. Yield not one
jot or tittle of the Iltigntz Ghana of
your rights, until the truths of the De
claration 01 Independence are realized
to the full, and until the glorious and
true DenLocratic doctrine that "all men
are created equal" are emblazoned in
characters of living light, not only upon
the. dome - of the. Capitol of the nation,
;but upon every statute book, and State
Coastifution in our - blood-bought and
bloOd-redeemed National Union.
WHEN,'?n the March of destiny, It:
-v7as impossia“er the - Democratic par
ty to' bind the negro any longer with the
Chains and shackles of slavery, and
since our Democratic County Commis
sioners, after an
. outlay of over fifty
thousand dollars to hoild a new jail,
have proved themselves unable to hold
a few of the loweA and wickedest of
the raee,how do they expect to put the
heel of tyranny upon millions of color-•-
ed American citizens and deprive them
of their political rights?
• "FIAvE -we a Democratic party
aiming us?'' is the • inquiry of . the
Louisville Courier Journal. Bather
except in Kentucky. The
Taw , osoy Fourth of July operation
1:ock ed ;he retrogressive J p at Ely

c'e., have been gathered int o lipauc
ky. where the work of resip,iti
is kept up by "Bascom's whiiky."
ANDREW JOHNSON, says the Phil'a.
Pass, has been humbling himself be
fore the people of Knoxville. He went
there for the purposes of self-exalta
tion, but, as usual, his lips prove his
abasement. His speech is not even a
respectable jabber. It lacks the cohe
rency of a school boy, and has all the.
incongruities of an idiot. It were char
ity to call his ailment -phrenitic rather
than vertebral. After dividing the
powers of the Government into three
heads, he does mot even revert to the
duties of either, but indulges in his
stereotyped billingsgate respecting one
of them. The nearer it approaches
unanimity in its deliberations and en
actments the- more danger •he sees in
its existence. He meanly taunts the
negroes with having set them free, yet
makes himself their equal by showing
them that he is a slave. He glories in
the fact that his reputation is unstain
ed with the blood of- either enemy or
friend, and in the next breath vents
his spleen upon the bondholders, "who
never shed a drop of blood." What
is a virtue in him is damnable in them.
But he caps the climax of the occasion
and exhibits the inward promptings of
the whole man by the blasphemous
imprecation "Twould to God that the
Government had not had the credit to
borrow a dollar to carry on the war."
Much as the nation has suffered from
the presence in high places of this se
ditious monster, it is just beginning to
learn his true character While an in
cumbent of office there was some in
ducement to conceal his hypocrisy, but
now the fear of stultification and dis
grace has no longer any terrors for him.
Though the people endured the tor
tures of his Presidency for nearly four
years, they may well rejoice at what
they have escaped at his hands.
TrtE New York Commercial speaks
of one of the "tricks of the trade" as
follows : "The banks still plead pov
erty. They are reedving little from
the South or any other section, and
some are sending money to Philadel
phia. The remittances to that city
do not appear to be in the way of or
dinary exchanges, and are suspected
to he intended for a specific purpose,
indeed. Philadelphia has become a
sort of safe for the convenience of
parties taking money off the market.
The operation saves the odium at
tached to the old methods of "lock
ing up," and has the appearance of
being a legitimate movement. A re-.
st•ectable banking hcme can there
fore engage in it without loss of
prestige ; this immunity, however, is
not likely to be continued after a few
repetitions of the trick."
THE PUBLIC DEBT. —The forthcom
ing statement of the public debt, which
shows a , !onsiderable reduction in the
Government indebtedness, will contain
a new feature of great public interest,
but not calculated to strengthen the
standing of the Pacific Railroads. It
is a table giving the amount of Gov
ernment bonds issued to these various
roads, amount of interest thereon paid
by the Government and the amount of
this interest reimbursed by the roads
to the National Treasury. The People
supposed these roads, so hirgely subsi
dized by bonds and lands, have at least
paid their own interest, but this state
ment will prove the contrary, and in
deed show they have not half paid it.
The exact figures have not got out,but
Secretary Boutwell's exhibit will be
worth careful examination,
A BILL is before the New Jersey
Legislature which seeks to break a will
made by a husband who left certain
property to his wife to be hers so long
as she remained a Widow. The widow
married again, and the object of the
bill is .to secure to her the property
which by the will goes to others. It
would be a glorious thing if every State
could pass such a law. Of all selfish
ness that which would force a woman
to remain a widow or become a beggar,
is the meanest. The wife aids the hus
band in accummulating his money, and
she is just as much entitled to a por
tion, absolutzly, as he is, and if, on his
death, he attempts to impose conditions
upon his widow, the Legislature sho'd
step in and thwart such injustice. If
New Jersey shall pass such a law she
will. set a good example to all her sis
ter States.
PROPORTION OF DRINKERS.—A St.
Louis physician is responsible for the
fallowing figures: Takimr the popu
lation of this country at forty million
—of 300 won, 122 never drink spirits
at all ; 100 drink moderately, but not
to intoxication ; 50 ;are ephemeral
drinkers; 25 drink periodically, call
ed "spreeing ;" and three are habi
tual inebriates. Of 700 women, 600
never taste alcoholics of any kind ; 30
taste wine occasionally; 17 taste ai
dent spirits; 30 drink ale or beer con
stantly; 14 drink ardent spirits peri
odically ; and 3 are habitual inebria
tes. Fewer women drink than men,
but a larger proportion of them be
come habitual drinkers.
MINISTER Gladstone's bill for the
disestablishment of the Irish Church
has carried in the British House of
Commons by-a majority of 118. It
provides that the Irish people shall
no longer be compelled to support the
church of England against their will.
We hope it may pass the House of
Lords, but of this there is great doubt.

were divided, Kellogg favoring and
Harris opposing. Cameron'. made a
bitter opposition_ : : Brownlow endors
ed his language and strongly .protes

the vote was taken sermal Senators
Faired off, nd it was lucky for Long
street the vote was had at the time,
as in a few minutes inure the Senate
would have been left, without a quo

Two of the members of the jury

course to pursue but to return a ver
dict of guilty in the time specified by
the Judge, who, it seems, said to the
jury ':the Court will wait half an hour
for the verdict." We presume the

a verdict in three minutes if the Court
expressed an intention to "wait" only

THE subscriber offers to farmers through
uut the country, the
EGYPTIAN CORN,
which upon trial, was found to ripen,plant
ed the fast of July. It is estitt.a!ed. from
its very prolific qualities. to yield 150 bush
els per acre. and weighs, by sealed measure,
sixty-five pounds to the bushel. This corn
was pronunced by tonfei-rocured Oirect from
Mr. Jones. our consular agent, directly on
his return front Egypt.
It needs no different culture from that of
other varieties, and in the South two crops
can be raised in. one season on the same
ground. It grows in the form of a tie and
thirty-four ears have grow. up:,n on e stalk,
and will average from five to fifteen. For
domestic use it is unparalted. When - ground
and properly bolted, it is equal in eolor and
fineness
,to wheaten flour. Asa forage crop,
by sowing in drills or broadcast, for early
feed, There is no kind of corn so well adapt
ed to milch cows, and none -that will yield
half the value of stalk corn.
It can be ,uccEsifill!y grown in any !ate
