Who is to Blame ?
It is part of the daily business of the
Watchin.an and the ." Court House,
Clique" to cry taxes, heavy.' taxes; out
it4s only done in order to conceal their
own action and the -gross mismanage
ment of the 'public affairs of the coun—
ty. 'Every - day they are increasing the
"local and county taxes, and yet they
'aim to be, par excellence, the friends
of the people. The new jail, built at
.a cost to the tat-payets, .of fifty-thous-.
- and dollars, is, as we have before stat- .
.ed, perfectly worthless except as a
nlended residence for the Sheriff.—
Prisoners remain in it if they are so
disposed; but if they have been guilty
of some crime that would bring upon
them heavy and condign punishment,
they are sure to make their escape be
fore trial and conviction. Never, in
any county in the State,was there such
gross mismanagement of the people's
funds on the part of the county officers,
as in Centre county for the last six or
eight years, and never, we venture the
assertion, have so many lucrative for
tunes been made in the same length of
time, by those whom the Democracy
have elevated to power. The county

farm to farm. Why is it that those
who earn their bread by the sweat of
their brow and pay the heavy county.

cratic officials, cannot amass fortunes
as rapidly as those whom they have el
evated to power, and chosen to manage
the public business of the county? Is
it not an.establish'cl fact thatno man can
honestly become suddenly rich? That
man does not live who amassed a large
fortune in a few years, and did it hon
estly and in fair and legitimate trade.
Sudden - wealth, fortunes amassed in a
few years, are always, or nearly always,
the result of a combination of sharpers
who, for selfish purposes, band togeth

honest hard-working tax-payers of the
country. 'This system of robbing is
called, by these man, speculating 1—
Look back eight or ten years and see
how many men were poor, or in mod

see those same men sporting fancy hor

stocks. Some of them were county of
ficials. Some of them could tell all
about the new jail, its cost, the entire
contract, the secret partners, &e., &c.
People can think as they please ;
but of one thing we are very certain,
and that is,it takes an honest business
man,farmer or mechanic almost a life
time to accumulate a competence, to

cogitations of his fertile brain and
uncommonly lively imagination figure
up a great Democratic gain? If so,we
fear the remainder of his days will he

length of time that will elapse before
everybody will be in the Democratic

will adopt her new constitution and
elect her State officers. During the
Summer months Mississippi and Tex

Congress assembles in December next
the last of the rebellious sisters will be
admitted into the National family
within ten years from theuutbreaking
of Secession. Then the old wounds
will be healed; old differences forgot
ten, and all will unite ierestoring
peace,harmony and prosperity. And
while we look forward with joy to all
this, let us not forget the sacrifice it
has .cost, but cherish with holy de
votion the 'memory of those wbo laid
down their lives a ransom at the feet

Grand Banquet to Dan'( G. Bush, Leg
rpee'l Correspondence of the In hirer.
BELLEFONTE, June 2, 1860.
Last evening a grand banquet was
given by the residents of this place to
Daniel G. Bush, Esq., a gentleman
whose enterprising and liberal spirit,
sound judgment and extensive means,
have contributed greatly to the growth
of Bellefonte within the last five years.
The entertainment was a vory elegant
one, and took place at the new hotel,
near the railroad depot, lately erected
by Mr. Bush. The company sat down
at eight o'clock, and the catering was
admirably attended to by Mr. Biaony,
the manager of the hotel.
At the close of the feast, a number
of letters from distinguished gentle
men, who could not be present on the
occasion, were read by Major Charles
H. Hale, of the Committee of Ar
rangements, and speeches were made
by John Irwin, Jr., Esq., who pre•
sided, and by Messrs. Brown and
Hutchison,, the proprietors of the
Bellefonte Republican, Mr. Bush also
delivered a neat and appropriate ad
dress, thanking his fellow-townsmen
for this evidence of their appreciation,
and modestly referring to the efforts
he had made to increase the resour
ces, and to improve the waste places
of Bellefonte. The party broke up at
ten o'clock, without a single incident
to mar the pleasure of this occasion.
Mr. Bush is a remarkably far-seeing
and successful man. Instead of hoard
ing up, as so many do, the large means
which he had accumulated in a few
years by judicious and well-timed in,
vestments, he, in 1864, engaged in
real estate enterprises, and has, since
that time, erected about twenty or
thirty new buildings in different parts
of the town. He, at first, built an
arcade, with six stores on the first
4loorz, a number of offices and two
rooms for societies on the second floor,
and a grand ball for balls and lectures
on the third floor, at a cost of $50,000.
Next, he built a mansion for himself,
costing $20,000, and, in order to di
vert the attention of capitalists to a
section of the town well adapted for
business purposes, but heretofore un
improved, Mr. Bush has erected a
magnificent hotel, of four stories in
height; 180 feet front, by 120 feet
deep, on High street, near therail
road depot, but on the opposite side
of spring creek.
The energy and goabeaditiveness of
Mr. Bush stimulated many other gen
tlemen ofswealth in Bellefonte to the
building of extensive manufactories,
handsome stores and private residen
ces. Among the latter may be men
tioned as costing over $20,000, the
new and elegant mansions of ex-Gov
ernor Curtin, Messrs. Robert Valen
tine, D. M. Wagner and D. G. Bush.
The Presbyterians and Episcopalians
are just finishing two large and im
posing edifices for divine worship.—
The total amount of capital invested
in all these undertakings is estimated
at $600,000.
Bellefonte, under its new auspices,
cannot fail to attract large numbers of
the dwellers in our eastern cities to
a summer vacation within its bound
ary. Trout fishing is abundant here,
and the walks and rides, amid roman
tic and beautiful scenery, in the fer
tile valleys and their mountain fast
nesses, are unequalled in any other
region
General Hartranft
Speaking of Gen. John F. Hartranft
as a possible candidate for Governor,
the Washington Reporter says :
Gen. Hartranft is a young man of
fine abilities,high character and strict
integrity. Perhaps no public man in
the State possesses such an unblem
ished reputation. He is a lawyer by
profession, but when the war brok-e l
out he raised a regiment in his own
county (Montgomery) and led it to
the field. By conspicuous gallantry
be rose, before the war was ended, to
the rank of Major General. His gal
lant conduct at Fort Steadman just
before the close of the war will long be
remembered. He was elected to the
office of Auditor General in the fall of
1865, and re-elected last fall. He has
developed the highest abilities and
business qualifications in the depart
ment over which he is placed. He is
very modest and unassuming in de
meanor, dislikes eclat or notoriety,
and never - seeks anything like prom
inence. He is universally popular
with the soldiers, and if nominated
will receive an enthusiastic support
from that element. Had he not been
made Auditor General, he would have
received the nomination three years
ago instead of Geary."
AGAIN.—For unavoidable reasons
the History of the 49th P. V. ,is crowd
ed out of this number. It will be con,
tinned next week.
A Few Plain Questions For Free Trath
1. If the present Tariff is "prohibi
tory," or, in other words, , prevents
buying what we want from foreign
countries, how dots it tonne that we
do buy one hundred Millions of dollars
worth of merchandise more than we
sell them of our products during this
year of Grace 1860 ?
2. If the "enormous and grinding
taxation" we aro how paying to
"monopolists," or.ih plainer terms,
the customs note raison nn foreign
imports, is "grinding" our pimple
"poverty and Want," :tOl3, is it
that a constant stream of immigrants
abtl come from nations now enjoying
Free Trade to our languishing, tariff
cursed country?
3. If tree trade were declared to
morrow, and foreign manufacturers
were permitted to compete in our mar
kets with our own, would not fabrics
made by European workmen at fifty
cents a day drive those made by
American workmen at two dollars and
fifty cents a day, out of the market ?
4. When the American manufac
turer finds himself undersold at home,
by those engaged in the same busi
ness in Leeds, or Manchester,or Corn
wall, in England; must he not either
discharge his hands and close his,
mills,furcaces. &e., or reduce the wa
ges ha is now paying to his employees ?
5.. Must not the mechanics, under
this state of affairs, either stop work
or submit , to the reduction, or find
something else to do?
6. Do the Free Traders want.the
workmen ofAmerica to work fer lower
wages than' they now get? Or, if not,
do they want them to give up skilled
labor (and so lose the years spent in
learning a trade), and work at Agri ,
cultural pursuits?
7. Will not our country under Free
Trade, which must inevitably destroy
her manufactures, become absolutely
enslaved to the countries which furn
ish us with everything we need from
a fork to a steam engine ; and will we
not, when declaring war against Eng
land—for instance—or she against us,
experience some difficulty in the way
of cannon, muskets, etc?
8. How do you propose to pay coin
interest on the bonds, whieh we
solemnly proposed to pay, when you
have destroyed the only source of coin
revenue we now have,or cab have,until
we resume specie payments?
Answers to the above are respec
fully solicited.
Our Washington Letter
WASMNGTON, D. 0. •
• ,Trine 4, 1860,
DEAR REPUBLICAN:
, The absorbing topic for the past two
weeks, in this city, has been the cere
mony of decorating the graves of the
Union soldiers, at Arlington, Virginia,
which was done on Saturday, the 29th
ult., by the hands of some twenty-five
thousand who delight in honoring
alike their countries and her fallen de
fenders.
Preparations for the event were be
gun in due season, and everything ar
ranged for the occasion on a grand
' scale. By direction of the President,
the Executive Departments were all
closed, and thousands of the employ
ees attached thereto availed themselves
of the opportunity to take part in the
programme of this sacred duty.
I send you the entire poem and ora
tion of the day, and will curtail my let
ter accordingly, that you may have
space to print any extracts therefrom
that you may see fit.
From early morning the streets were
thronged with carriages and pedestri
ans, and the aqueduct Bridge leading
from Georgetown to the Virginia side
of the Potomac, was one seething hu
man mass from morn till MOD. About
12 o'clock, M., a Battalion of Marines,
headed by the famous "Band," arriv
ed, having been detailed for special du
ty on the grounds during the ceremon
ies, and shortly alter, the President,
Cabinet, Foreign Ministers, Orator,
Poet, and hosts of notables made their
appearance. At IP. M., the nation
al salute was fired by Dupont's Bat'y,
stationed directly in front of the Ar
lington Mansion, and immediately af-
terward the assemblage was called to
order by the Chairman of the Commit
tee of arrangements, who introduced
the President of the day, Col. S. A.
Duncan, Grand Commander of the
Dep't. of the Potomac. After the
Pres' t. had formally anuouned the pur
pose of the gathering, and the Marine
Band performed the " Miserere", a
fervent prayer for the blessing of
Heaven upon the Nation, and the work
before those present., was offered up by
Rev. J. P. Newinan, D. D., Chaplain
of the Senate. The order emenating
from the Head-Quarters of the Grand
Army of the Republic, was then read
by the chairman of the Committee of
arrangements, followed by the ode :
"Our Native Land," rendered by the
"Beethoven Club" of - Washington, D.
C. Next in order came the PoEn OF
THE DAY, by Francis Dellaes Janvier,
the gifted author of the " Sleeping
Sentinel," ether well-known "Po
ems of the War, "followed by the ORA
TION, delivered by the Hon. S. S. Fish
er,
Com'r. of Patents. This was in
deed a masterly effort, and the stream
ing eyes and stifled sobs which greeted
one on every side during the delivery
of portions of the speech, proved how
deeply the feelings of the audience had
been touched. After a chorus by the
" Arion Quartette Club," entitled
" Prayer," the assemblage proceeded
to the decorating of the graves, and the
work ceased not until " every soldier's
mound" received its fitting tribute.
A pleasing circumstance occurred at
the decoration of the Monument to the
memory of the " Unknown" sol
diers, which the children from the
" Orphans' Home," numbering be
tween sixty and seventy, were engaged
in placing the wreaths, crosses ; &c,
on this monument, they received an
addition to their number in the person
of Miss Nellie Grant, the little daug - h
ter of the President, who also brought
hey tribute to the bigitory of the he
roes whose names are only known to
God.
The other eenietaries in the neigh
borhood of the eity,in which any of the
- anion d*l. are buried, were all 'visit
ed and the' graves strewn with flowers.
Several friends of the rebel dead,
buried at Arlington, not satisfied with
having 364 other days in each year on
which to honor their fallen . friends
had made preparations for a counter
demonstration on this day. As the day
had been set apart as holy alike to the
country's defenders, ant? the cause for
which they fell, the Committee • very
properly refused to allow this counter
decnonstration,
course this brought a howl of rage
from all the Democratic papers of the
city, which has been echoed from all
parts of the country. The polite,- but
resolute, Lieutenant of Marines, Who
was charged with seeing .that "no
graves should be decorated but those
of Union soldiers," has been represent
ed as a brute in human form, as curs
ing and jeering those who attempted
to place flowers on the . rebel graves,
(to., &c. It is needless to say that
nothing of the kind of conduct,alluded
to by our Democratic friends,occurred,
The unpleasant duty devolving upon
the officer mentioned, was performed,
but in a gentlemanly manner.
We would like to ask these persons
who are so exercised at " the outrages
to the Confederate dead," why they
never have a word to say concerning
the outrages committed on the tombs
of the Union soldiers, buried in the
South, by the Confederates, not by re
fusing to place flowers, but by mutilat
ing and defacing the monuments erect-:
ed by the
.0. S. Government in such a
way as oftentimes to render the name
wholly unintelligible: Truly, " consis
tency, thou art a jewel."
For the Republican
PORTLAND, ME., May 28, '69.
DEAR REPUBLICAN :
It may seem strange
that a stranger, should address himself
to you, and so far.removed as " down
East" ; la.ft, when it is told you..that I
am not unknown in Bellefonte,' and
your paper is not :n uttor stranger to
um, it may . he pardonable in me for--
wri:•inir . .
PorCalid is the comm3icial mefroP
o'is of Maine, and a growing city.—
Three years ago it was nearly ruined
by the great fire on the 4th of July,
but has risen like Phoenix from her
ashes,and is to-day a monument of-en
ergy and pluck, displayed in the long
lines of new streets, not excelled in
architectural beauty; in New England.
Hardly a trace of the devastating :cle
ment can be found. The City Hall—
the pride and boast of the city—is far
superior in excellence and elegance to
the former one. The new Custom
House and Post Office are marble beau
ties, whose equals, in every particular,
it will be hard to find; and all over the
burnt district, have sprung up buildings
superior in every respect to the old ones
and ornamenting the city with their
tasteful exteriors. One thing cannot
be given to the city so quickly as her
magnificent trees, whereby it so truly
won the title of "Forest City." These
must be of slower-growth, yet they are .
coming surely, as their long lines indi
cate.
Business is dull. High rents and
fast living, with a tight moneimarket,
are telling tales of sorrow on many
families who have flourished in "first
circles," until overtaken by the tide
that sweeps thousands each year from
the front ranks to humble places.—
There must be low rents, more econo
my, and attention to business, before
we can say we are prospering as a city.
Fast horses and high living are ruining
hundred of our young men, as in oth
er cities. The "Maine Law" is a dead
letter practically, and Neal Dow will
have to try it over again before he can
bring , up the tipplers to his standard,
or compel the authorities to enforce ex
isting laws.
Politically, Maine is Republican, as
all the world 'knows. Her harmony
and concert of action have won for her
the motto "Dhigo" in politics. This
year that harmony is seriously threat
ened by a refusal of the Temperance
• Party to co-operate with the Republi
cans. The Temperance question has
been going on from bad to worse, for•
several years, and its friends have ap
pealed to, and even threatened,all par
ties with something politically awful if
they did not come to a direct issue on
this troublesome moral question. This
year they propose to nominate a candi ,
date of their own, at any rate if Cham
berlain is re-nominated, or if some
Temperance man is not taken up.—
However hot the battle may wax in the
Republican camp,the Copperheads are
looking on very complacently, much as
Justice Monkey is supposed to have
done when weighing his cheese ! If the
Copperheads had a decently presenta
ble candidate, there might be some
hope of winning once more the office
of State ; but all the public men of
former Democratic principles,espoused
the cause of the Union at the com—
mencement of the rebellion, and of
course became Republicans, and those
who followed the lead of the South
have become so identified with disloy
alty and treason, by words and acts,
that they cannot face the storm sue
cessfully. Treason may appear pleas
ant at first, but it becomess " odious"
at last, as the Copperheads will find,
whether there are two or three candi
dates in the field.
Portland is being agitated greatly by
her projected Railroads towards the
West. The Portland and Ogdensburg,
and Portland and Rutland have been
surveyed, and estimates of cost made.
Both companies are confident of build
ing their roads, and $750,000 have
been voted to the former already.—
Both roads are needed to brini , the
trade to Portland that naturally cen
tres there. Rich and fertile lands yet
undeveloped await them, and millions
of acres of timber lands are in the di
rect touch of both roads.
The Sebago water-works will be com
pleted by next "Fourth of luly," and•
then this city may boast of as pure wa
ter as any in the Union. The Lake is
situated 18 miles from the city, is of
the purest water, and 18 miles long by
1i miles wide. It is about 40t feet
above tide water, so that fire engines
may be dispensed with by attaching
hose to hydrants. The cost of the
works will be about $1,504,000 ;
The farmers are busy,and more than
a usual breadth of grain, and crops gen
erally, have been put in. The trout
fishing season has commenced, and
strangers and citizens are alike improv
ing this opportunity of " casting the
fly." Big stories are told of five and
seven pound trout that have succumb
ed to the fishers, and a day's work is
considered good if 100 "beauties" are
put in the basket; but,methinks,many
arc disposed to adopt the "eight hour
system" as defined by Hoar ! At any
rate, trout are abundant, and Maine
can compete with any of her sisters in
the size and number of her spotted
swimmers.
The "jubilee" at the "Hub" is cre
ating much excitement here as the time
approaches. •We shall send a delega—
tion who can lift their voices "long and
loud," as they demonstrated within a
short time. It will be a big affair for
Boston and will fill her accommoda
tions to their utmost capacity. It
seems as if it must be a success, and it
is the wish of your correspondent that
it may prove so. Yours, &c.,
Truly Yours,

Aud courting was done and hearts have
been won
By the light from the hole in the wall.
The neighbors were friendly wherever they'd
meet, -
With a word of true kindness for all;
And joy was complete to hear voices so sweet
Ring round that old hole in the wall.
In those days we know, folks cared not for
show,
Of improvements knew nothing at all;
Bnt 'twas really no joke, when great clouds
of smoke
Rushed out from the hole'in the wall.
But those days are now o'er, we shall know
them no more,
And all those old fashions have flown;
Whilst the solemn and gay are coming each
day
To purchase the famous "OLD HOME."
Coming not only in couples, but in scores,
as hundreds of good and wise men and
women have done before, to look upon this
magnificent stove, which is acknowledged to
be the best cooking stove of the age. Re

COMPLETION OF THE PACIF

GREAT RUSH TO STERNBERG'S
Sung to the Tune of vankee Doodle
The Great Paciffc Railroad's laid,
From ocean unto ocean,
And now comple connection's made,—
An enterprising notion.
The mighty work at last is done,
So speedily and brisk, oh!
And now in ten days we can run
From here to San Francisco.
No more we take the ancient route,
The stage, a horrid slow thing;
It banged the passengers about,
And wore out all their clothing.
