HKDFORfi, PA., FRIDAY, JUNE % 1865. TO OUR FRIENDS. The war has drawn rapidly to a close, and public questions are becoming more profound ly important and interesting than ever they were before. Not only the adjustment of the terms of peace, and the future constitutional relations of the states, but all the momentous measures of finance and taxation will need to be discussed within the next four years. No citizen will be able to make up his mind in telligently on these subjects without the aid of the newspapers, which have now become the great forum of public discussion. On all public questions the INQUIRER has clear, decided, well-established principles, which it means to utter with its usual bold ness and freedom. The preservation of our National Integrity at all hazards; Universal j Liberty for all men; Freedom of Speech, i and of the Press; the Limitation of the j Powers of the Government; Economical and j Equal Legislation: and the Just Distribution of Taxes—these are among the leading prin ciples that it designs to maintain with all its ability and zeal, yet with moderation and judgment. Its tone, as heretofore, will be outspoken, candid and fearless, but in strict observance of all the recognised courtesies of public debate. We trust that the principles and aims of the INQUIRER will ensure from its ofd friends the same generous support and encourage ment which they have given it in years past, aud that its usefulness will be greatly increas ed by a large accession of new names to its list of subscribers. CAMPAIGN INQUIRER. The importance of the approaching elec tion calls forth all our energies, and to meet a deficiency generally experienced for want of proper reading matter, we will issue the INQUIRER as a campaign paper from and after the FIRST OF JULY until the week after the October election. EVERY UNION MAN IN THE COUNTY, WITHOUT AN EXCEPTION, SHOULD HAVE A COPY. Let our friends see that this is the case. A little exertion will do it.

M., for the purpose of nominating a county ticket, aud adopting such measures as may be deemed necessary to aid in comple ting the great worjt of restoration. | The following persons are authorized and requested to hold the delegate elections above mentioned.

RUPP, Chairman Union County Committee. Bedford May 26th, 1865. THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON ELEC TIO* FRAUDS. —A copy of" the report of this 'Committee has reached this office. We have had very little time to examine it, but we hope, at some future day, to be able to lav it before our readers, or at least copious ex tracts from it. The greater part of the re port refers directly to Bedford county, and we conclude it is pretty severe on several who figured conspicuously about the time of the assembling of the return judges last fall. I here are two reports. The majority report is signed by Messis. Jas. K. Kelley, Wni. B. V\ addell, and J. H. Negley; the minority re port bears the signatures of Messrs. A. An derson, and A. Grady. These gentlemen do not pretend to deny the facts arrayed by so many witnesses, but satisfy themselves in venting their wrath, if they had any, on Hon. John Cessna. This gentleman need's no vin dication at our hands, his reputation will not suffer by having his motives impugned by these Copperhead gentlemen who could find no other vindication for their disreputable position. THE NEW POSTMASTER AND POST OFFICE. —Colin Loyer, Esq., having been appointed Postmaster by Mr. Lincoln, took possession of that office on last Monday. Mr. Loyer was Postmaster under General Taylor's ad ministration, and his uniform courtesy and prompt attention to the duties of the office won for him the kind plaudits of the commu nity. He has entirely refitted the Post Office boxes, casing, Ac., and everything presents the neatness and cleanliness which should characterize public offices. A large number of boxes have been added ? so that in the fu ture, "the public can be fully accommodated. The retiring officer, William Riser, has the kind wishes of the entire community. He retires from four years of arduous labor with much credit. THE BUCKEYE MOWER AND REAPER.— This marline is said, by good judges, to be the best article of the kind in use. Its manufac turers claim it to be the ''Best Machine in the World," and we are not surprised at this, if the evidence before us is to be credited. The "Buckeye" was first introduced in 1857, and the good features embraced in it, imme diately attracted the attention of practical and scientific men everywhere, who were interest ed in lessening the toils of the farmer. PETER H. SHIRES ot this place, is the Agent for this county. He is prepared to supply all orders for them at the lowest cash rates. Farmers, now is the time to buy. Go to SHIRES' at once and save money. HYDRANTS. —It becomes necessary, howev er sorry we may be to do it, to call the atten tion of the "city fathers" to the fact that a large number of hydrants are out of repair, and large quantities of water are wasting. We know full well how sensitive these gentlemeu are on this subject, but with all dne respect for their feelings, duty compels us to tell them that, unless immediate repairs are made the town will suffer for water. We have had a very wet season. Nothing, it is said, pays up better than weather. If this is the case, and it generally is, we must expect a dry sea son, at least, it wonkl be wisdom to prepare fir it. We were about to add, in time of war 1 repare for peace, hut as the adage runs the other way, we prefer this: in time of wet weather prepare for dry. J&r Several persons residing in Freedom township, in this county, in the early part of the war enlisted in the Rebel service—some of whom have since returned to their old homes. ' Indignant at this, a meeting of the loyal men of the township was held at Mr. Moritz's on the 20th inst., who resolved that they would not allow any persons to re main among them who had left to enlist in the rebel army, and appointed a committee to wait upon those who have, or may return hereafter, and notify them to leave within twenty-four hours after such notice.— Adams Sentinel. ' We have been requested to ask the public to assist, on Friday (to-day,) in pre paring the Cemetery grounds. Much labor is yet required to make it the pleasant recep tacle for the dead that it should be. If each family will send one member to assist, mnch will be accomplished towards the desired ob ject. REMARKABLE. —A young mare, the property of Philip Basler, of Middle Woodberry town ship, this county, aged four years, has given birth to twin colts twice within the last fifteen months. In four years her progeny has been as great ip number as the years of her age.;. THE SOLDIERS A RR COMING HOME.— Happy news! Hojfc its announcement will cheer the heart of many a weary wife and mother who, at home, in tears and in prayers have waited for the return of their loved ones. These are now on the road home. They are coming covered with fhe dust of the march—they are coming grim with the blackness of battle— they are coming from fields of immortal vic tory and invincible valor. Let us all prepare to meet them, ; to garland them with flowers, to greet them with applause, and cast at their feet a nation's gratitude for deliverance from treason. We must make room for the bronzed veterans everywhere. They deserve the front seats in every assemblage of honor. They are entitled to the blandest smiles and the sweetest kisses of beauty. To them lie longs the nation's blessing. The soldiers of the Republic are now its crown jewels, more glorious and richer thau any which glisten in the diadem of a king. The soldiers are com ing home ! Thank God ! Let every village, town and city prepare their ovations for the coming men. Let every humble hearth be swept for the return of its idol. Let every parlor be illuminated. Mothers, wives, sis ters, children, shout theglad news over moun tain and valley, clap your hands and rejoice ! The soldiers are coming home 1 The war is over! Victory is ours ! The Republic is safe! and Freedom is perpetuated I— Ex change. AN EFFICIENT OFFICER.— The Atteghenian of last week, published at Eberisburg, says: '"There being no further call for his servi ces in an official point of view, and in confor mity with the order of the President that the expenses of the Government be reduced wherever possible, Mr. M. S. Harr has bpen relieved from duty as Commissioner of the Draft for this District. The other members of the Board of Enrollment will probably be discharged in a few day 6." TYe have been well acquainted with Mr. Harr for many years, and we are prepared to add our testimony to his many good qualities. It gave ns great pleasure to learu that the government had found so good a fpan for the office of Commissioner for our neighboring district. And since his office is no longer ne cessary, we know that he will carry the kind wishes of many friends with him in his retire ment. COUNTY OFFICER'S FEES. —The following is a cony of the Act passed at the last, session of the Legislature, increasing the fees of the several.county officers of this commonwealth. It will be observed that, the Act is merely temporary in its provisions, and authorizes the increase to be demanded during the pres- ent year only: SECTION 1. Be it enacted, That for one year from the passage of this Act, the Sher iffs, Pn thonotaries, Clerks of the Orphans Court, C!erks of the Court of Oyer and Ter miner, Clerks of the Court-of Quarter Ses sions, Recorder of Deeds, and Register of \\ ills, of the counties of this Commonwealth, shall be and they are hereby authorized to add to, collect and receive, twenty per cent, in addition to the sunt total of all fees a'lowed by law: f'rovided, That this Act shall not ap ply to the counties of Philadelphia, and Alle gheny, Susquehanna, Bradford, and Sullivan. CAUTION TO FENCE-BREAKERS AND THIEVES. the acts passed by the last Legisla ture is one providing : "That if any person or persons, from and after (he passage of this act, shall malicious ly and wantonly break or throw down any post and rail, or other fence, erected for the enclosure of land, or shall carry away, break or destroy any post or other material of which such fence was built, enclosing any lot or field within this commonwealth, such person or persons so offending, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction small be sen tenced to pay a fine not exceeding fifty dol lars, one half thereof to be paid to the infor mer, on conviction of the offender or offenders the other half to the support of the poor of such county, township, or borough or ward where the offense has been committed, with costs of prosecution, or to undergo an impris onment not exceeding six months, or either, at the discretion of the court.'' PRIVATE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNOR. — We have neglected to notice the change in the Private Secretaryship to Governor Cur tin. Mr. A. Mullen, who held that position for several years, has retired to accept the post of Secretary and Treasurer to a Coal Oil Company in Philadelphia, and Col, Robert A. McCoy has been appointed bis successor. While discbargingthe.se i.tiponunt duties, Mr. Mulliu won the esteem and the confidence of all with whom became in contact. — liar. Tel. PRIMARY ELECTION. —The Republican Pri mary Election for Somerset County will be held at the respective places for holding the same On Saturday the 17th day of June, 1865, between the hours of 2 and 6P.

COMMISSIONER DISCHARGED. —The services of the Commissioners of the Board of Enroll ment being no longer needed, by reason of the crushing out of the rebellion and the sus pension of recruiting for the military service, John Culp, Esq., has been honorably dis charged from the service as Commissioner of the 10th District of Penna., a position which he has filled with credit to himself and satis faction to those having business with his office. — Repository. j>i;i)FOiiT> MARKET.

Washington, January 1,1864, Gentlemen.—Having stated it verbally to you, I have no hesitation, in writing the fact, that I ex perienced marked benefit From your Hoofland's German Bitters. During a long and tedious session of Congress, pressing and onerous duties nearly prostrated me. A kind friend suggested the use of the preparation I have named. I took his ad vice, and the result was improvement of health, renewed energy, and that particular relief I so much needed and obtained- Others may be sim ilarly advantaged if they desire to be. Truly your friend, Thomas B. Flobemce, From John B. Wickersham, Esq., firm of Wick ersham & Hutchison, the celebrated Manufac turers of Fancy-Iron Works, 259 Canal St. I am the recipient from you of one of the great est favors that can bo conferred upon man, vn: that of health. For many years have I suffered from one of the most annoying and debilitating complaints that the human family can be afflicted with, Chronic Diarrhea. During the long time I was suffering from this disease, I was attended by regular physicians, giv ing me but temporary relief. The cause seemed to remain until I was induced to try Heoland's Ger man Bitters. After the use of a few bottles of that valuable medicine, the complaint appeared to be completely eradicated. I often inwardly thank you for such a valuable specific and, whenever I have an opportunity, cheerfully recommend it, with full confidence IB its reliability. Truly yours, JOHX B. WICKBBSHA*. New York, Feb, 2, 18f4. Fiom Julius Lee, Esq., firm of Lee k Walker, the mostextensive Music Publishers in the United States, No. 722 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. February Bth, 1864. Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentleman: —My mother-in-law has bten so greatly benefitted by your Hoofland's German Bitters that I concluded to try it myself. I find it to bean invaluable tonic, and unhesitatingly recommend It to all who are suffering from dyspepsia. I have had that disease in its most obstinate form—flatulence—for many years, and your Bitters has given ine ease when everything else had failed. Yours truly, Juuus LEE, From the Hon. JACOB BROOM, Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 1863. Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry as to the effect produced by the use of Hooflaud's German Bitters, in my family, I have no hesitatien in say ing that it has been highly beneficial. In one in stance, a case of dyspepsiaof thirteen years' stand ing, and which had become very distressing, the use of one bottle gave decided relief, the second effecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has con firmed the cure, for there has been no symptoms of its return for the last six years. In my individ ual use of it 1 find it to be an unequalled tonic, and sincerely recommend its use to the sufferers. Truly yours, JACOB BROOM, 1707 Spruce St. Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of 12th Baptist Church Philadelphia, December 26th, 1863. Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen:—l have recently been laboring ander the distressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of the nervus system. Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, and some of them tested, but without Belief. Your Hoofland's German Bit ters were recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorahle mention of the Bit ters induced me also to try them. I must confess that I had an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and otic" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugged liquor upon the community, in a sly way; and the tendency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learn ing that yours was really a medicine preparation, I took it with happy effect. Its action was not upton only the stomach, but upon the nervous sys tem, was prompt and gratifying. I feel that I have derived great and permanent beuefit from the use of a few bottles. Verv respectfnllv yous, Vv. D. SEIGFRIED, No. 254 Sfaackamsxon St. From the Rev. Thos. Winter, D. D., Pastor of Roroueh Baptist Church Dr. Jackson :—Dear Sir:—l feel it due to your excellent preparation, Hoofland German Bitters, to add my testimony to the deserved reputation it has obtained. I have for years, at limes, been troubled with great disorder in my head and ner vous system. I was advised by a friend to try a bottle of your German Bitters, 1 didso,and have exprienced great and unexpected relief; my health has been every materially benefited. I confidently recommend the article where I meet with cases similar to my own, and have been assured by many of their good effects. Respectfully yours, T. WINTER, Roxborough, Pa. From Rev. J.f. Hrrman, of the German Reformed Church, Kutitown, Berks County, Pa. Dr. C. Jackson:—Respected Sir :—I have boen troubled with Dyspepsia nearly twenty years, and have never used any medicine that did me as much good as Hoofland's Bitters. I am very much improved in health, after having taken a bottles. Yours with respect, J. g, HBRMAJT. BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. See that the sizuature of "C. M. JaekaOß' is on the nrabpef of each bottle.
