BKBPORD, PA., FRIDAY, JOLT 20,1886.
CAMPAIGN INQUIRER
The INQUIRER will be issued as a cam
paigß paper from and after the Ist of July to
the 12th of October, 1866, to accommodate
those who are not regular subscribers.
The importance of the campaign should
timulate the Republics'' party to place- the
IXQCIBSTT in the hands ot every friend of Re
publican principles in this county. The can
vass will not only be important in view of the
election of a Governor, but it will be recol
lected that a member of Congress, Senator,
two Representatives, and a full county ticket
from Prothonotary down to Auditor are to be
elected. Every member of the Republican |
party should be alive to the necessity of
promptly distributing healthy reading matter
among the masses. Bedford county trust be
carried against Copperheadism at the coming
election. We were only beaten on an aver
age from 130 to 140 last fall. At least 160
deserters voted to make this majority. Since I
then the bill disfranchising deserters has be
come a law and they will be excluded from
voting at the next election. This gives the
Republican party a majority of a few votes.
Now then is the time to wrench the political
ascendency from the party which, as a body, j
has so terribly abused its power in this coun
ty for the last four years, and to accomplish
this much desired result IXQI IRER will
l;,:>or earnestly and deal mo it vigorous blows.
Every Union Man in the Connty, with
out an exception, should have a Copy.
Let iiur friends see that this is the case. A
little exertion will do it.

A number of private families have
made arrangements to take Spring visiiors in
this place. A* larger number than usual are
already stopping in town, and we suppose
quite a number more could be taken. This

in a few years, monopolize the business.

THE NEXT New EAST AND WEST LINK
AC-cuss PESNSTCTASIA.— Recent surveys of
routes from the Susquehanna river to points
west at the Allegheny mountain, have de
monstrated that, next to the Juniata and
W eat Branch valleys, occupied respectively
by the Pennsylvania aad the Philadelphia and
Brie Railroads, the route of best alignment
and grade makes Harrisburg a terminus and
ConnellsviUe a point.
As a railroad centre Harrisburg possesses
geographical and physical advantages which
distinguish it above any other inland town
(destitute of free navigation) in the United
States: for the best routes east from Erie
City, Meadville, Franklin, New Castle, Pitts,
burgh, Sleubenville, Wheeling and Parkers
burg, tried by considerations of engineering
merit and commercial advantage, all concen
trate at Harrisburg: nor is it from the west
j only that the shortest and best lines converge
at Harrisburg: because, from New York and
Baltimore as well as from Philadelphia, there
are favorable routes to the Pennsylvania cap
ital. But whether the Rubicon will be cross
ed at or near Harrisburg, or whether the
Cumberland Valley Railroad is to be made a
link hi a new route to Pittsburg, Steubenville,
Wheeling and Marietta, will only be known
as time discloses its corporation secrets. —U.

MACKENZIE'S TEX THOUSAXD RECEIPTS.—
We have received a copy of this excellent
work, for which Mr. W. A. Edwards is agent
in this county. We have not bad time to give
it a careful examination, but from a hasty
glance at the nature of its conteuts we have
no doubt it well deserves the high encomiums
bestowed upon it by the press generally. The
Phil'a. Press says of it—
"This is a domestic cyclopaedia, of nearly
500 pages, in new type, small but clear. We
are assured that two years' labor, by very
competent gentlemen, lias been bestowed up
on tnis enlarged and improved edition, and
can well believe it: There is scarcely a sub
ject connected with the useful and domestic
arts about which a seeker for information can
not find what he wants in this book. The
most recent improvements and discoveries,
up to October, 1865, when the work was ste
reotyped have been included. The quantity
of information in this volume is very great —
so far as we have tested it we can vouch for
its accuracy. As a work of reference, it has
been made complete by the addition of a co
pious index.'"

THE MERMAN WAR.
The Italian army crossed thcMincio with
out meeting opposition from the
It then pushed on towards Feschiera, hut
was repulsed by a short cannonade from the
forts of that stronghold. The Italian army
wa- encountered by the Austrians in great
force in the vicinity of Verona, and a great
battle commenced. The Austrians repulsed
both wings of the Italian army. The battle
is still going on.
The reported relief of the Hanoverian
army is riot confirmed. Negotiations for a
capitulation on honorable terms were agreed
on between the commanders of the Haoove
ria i forces. The Prussians had advanced
into Upper Siberia and Bohemia. They
easily repulsed the Austrian huxtars, owing
to the effective power of their needle guns.
Prince Lliarles army met no resistance in
crossing the Bohemian frontier.
It was reported that Benedek would de
bouch from Bohemia with the main body of
his army upon Coblentz, compelling the
Prussians to evacuate Saxony by a flank at
tack. The Prussians are arming her Cob
lentz and Khrenbreitstein fortresses as a de
fence against the southern Germans.
The engagement on Sunday near Verona
lasted all night, ending in the complete de
fear of the Italians who were commanded
by King Victor Emmanuel. Both arn ies
fought most bravely. The Italians were re
pulsed at all points after a severe and bloody
struggle. The Italians recrossed the Min
cio on Sunday evening. Prince Amadccs
was wounded. The Austrians took two
thousand prisoners. The Austrians then
took Custozza by assault, and occupied
Bormio.
Nothing is nowa of Benedck's move
ments. The Prussians attacked Osweicein
in Uallicia, and wei e driven off with loss by
the Austrian?. The Hanoverian army es
caped through the Prussian eorps and reach

blockade the Hanoverian ports nor seize
I*ivate property.
Garibaldi intends marching through the
Tyrol direct to Munich.
A later telegram positively asserts that
the Hanoverian army is still completely sur
rounded. The King of Hanover demanded
twenty four hours for deliberation on the
conditions upon which his army was to
capitulate. The demand had been granted-
The King expects to receive assistance from
the Bavarian army.

LIVERPOOL, July o—Evening.—A great bat

resulting in the Prussians obtaining a great
and complete victor?. The Prussians- took
14.000 prisoners. There were great losses in
killed and wounded, but no estimate was giv
en of the numbers. The Austrians sent a
flagot truce. Austria has agreed to cede
Venetia to the Emperor Napoleon, and to ac
cept his mediation. Napoleon immediately
communicated with the King of Prussia, in
order to obtain an armistice. The Austrian
field marshal, Von Gablenz, arrived at the
Prussian headquarters, at Hovits, near Gits
chin, on the 4ui of July, with a flag of truce.
The battle of July 3d, near Ludowa, was a
great affair. It resulted in the complete de
feat of the Austriani.
The Prussians were commanded by the King
in person. They mot the Austrians under
Benedek, between Hovits and Konigratz. The
battle lasted twelve hours. Until ten o'clock,
A. M. , the battle was favorable to the Anstri
ans, but after that time the advantag , all
were with the Prussians.
At two P. M.,. after an obstinate defense,
the Prussians carried by storm the position ot
the Austrians, after which the latter were
quickly driven oat of other positions, and by
seven P. x. were in full retreat to Konigratz,
pursued by the Prussian cavalry.
The Austrians were in a complete rout, the
road being strewn with baggage which they
had thrown awa)'. The number of killed and
wounded on both sides was great, but owing
to the extent of the battle-field it had not yet
been ascertained. The Prussians claim to
have captured, up to the evening of the 4th,
14,000, unwounued prisoners, 110 cannon,
and several flags.
The Austrian Archdukes are reported
wounded. Prince Lichtenstein and Prince
Windisgratz were taken prisoners. General
Testitics, commander of an Austrian corps,
lost a leg. General Count Hnme was shot in
the head, and Colonel Bender arid another
staff ofticer were killed.
The London Times of J uly oth, says the
suddenness and magnitude of the Austrian
calamity, are too overpowering for any man
to speculate on the possible consequences on
the destinies of the Austuian empire. With
the exception of a few fortresses of no more
avail in modern warfare, to Italy the progress
of a victorious army than .Tosephstadt and
Konigratz have proved to be.
Benedek has'nothing in his rear but open
country —nothing between him and his capi
tal bet a vast smooth battlefield, where the
cannon, the cavalry and the dreaded needle
gun of the Prussians wiil have free play. The
Austrians have done enough for the honor of
their arms. They most now provide for the
safety of the State.
The most illustrious names in the empire
are among the dead and wounded. The King
of Prussia is in camp, and the Emperor of
Austria is not very far from Benedek's head
quarters. Let there, then, be at Pardubitz or
at Oimuw such an interview as there was after
Austerlitz and after Solferiuo.
Garibaldi oa the 3d of July attacked the
Austrians at Monte Sue'ilo. The latter made
a strong resistance and the Italians fell back
in good order. Garibaldi was slightly wound
ed in the thigh. The ainmunitiou of the Ital
ians was rendered useless by a heavy rain.
The Bavarians attacked the Prussian out
posts at Barefield. There were slight losses
on both sides.
Intense enthusiasm prevailed at Berlin
when the Prussian victories were announced
with salves of artillery.

some plain statements of the nature of
Southern loyalty which people who have
read President Johnson's and Secretary
Seward's inculcations on thai subject, will
do well to peruse. 11 says:
"The incn who took these oaths aud who
became citizens of the United States, and
who have bean obedient and faithful and
loyal to the laws are not at heart friends of
the Government of which they are subjects.
They were defeated by the United States in
an attemnt to perfect a long cherished
scheme which ruust have resulted in the
greatest benefit and advantage to themselves.
They were human and they could feel noth
ing else than bitterness for those whose
triumph was in the ruin of their hopes and
the blasting and crushing of their aspira
tions. They do not love the G'oicrument of
the United States—the "Stars and Stripes
excite no emotions of pride in their bosoms,
for they have seen it trailing in defeat too
often as their starry crossed battle flag wav
ed victorious in the Summer sunlight.'
Tliev have no veneration for the Govern
ment. no lovefor the flag, no feding of secu
rity for their interests, no very gieat desire to
continue under the Government than neces
sarily compelled by coercion. If they had
the power to establish a confederacy before
they were whipped they would have estab
lished it and it is reasonable to believe that
if they could establish it now they would do
so but for their oaths of allegiance. These
oaths were to the effect that they would
support the Constitution; should they ever
be required to do more. or should the Con
stitution be subverted, these oaths are worth
nothing.''
Is this genuine loyalty? Arc men, in this
frame of mind, fitted to take seats in Con
gress? The President thinks they are. We
should be glad to agree with hiui, but we
cannot.
The Mlantonomah and John Hull.
A letter by a late steaoier says : The
American monitor Miantonomali, whose
appearance at Cork created such a sensation
last week, has come round to Spiihcad, in
the channel, where she ha? been saluted and
inspected by the English naval officers,
whoso ideas on naval architecture are get
ting bouleversed, much as their vessels
would be if they were obliged to stand a
few shots from the guns of this wonder of
the West. The Admiralty tried an expe
riment with one of its heavier gums on its
best turret ship the other day. I should
advise them to try the much more impor
tant ex|jerinicnt ofinviting the Yankee
monitor to fire Just one shot at the best iron
clad in the British Navy. It might save
them v great deal of money. The result
would bo mortafjing. but salutary. John
Bull would become more than ever devoted
to the doctrine of non intervention, and, if
possible, more grateful than at present to
President Johnson for having saved Canada
from the Fenians. He may even pay the
Alabama claims without waiting to be asked

, Address to the People of the 8011 th.
WASHINGTON, July 11.—The following
is a call for a convention of Southern Union
ists, to be held at Independence Hall, in
the city of Philadelphia on the first Monday
of September, IS fee
To the Ijiyal UniortinU of the South:
The great issue is upon us. The majority
in Congress and its supporters, firmly declare
that the rights of ' the citizens enumerated
in the Constitution and established by the
supreme law. must be maintained inviolate.
Rebels and rebel sympathizers assert the
the rights of the citizens must belong to the
States alone and under such regulations as
the respective States choose voluntarily to
prescribe. We have seen this dootrine of
State Sovereignty carried out in its practi
cal results until all authority in Congress
was denied the Union temporarily-destroyed
the constitutional rights of the South nearly
annihilated, and the land desolated by civil
war. The time has come when the Struc
ture of the State governments must be laid
on Constitutions! principles, or the despot
ism grown up under an atrocious leadership
be permitted to remain. We know of no
other plan than that Congress under its
Constitutional power shall now exercise its
authority to establish the principle whereby
protection is made co-extensive with citizen
ship. We maintain that no State, cither
by its organic law or legislation, can make
transgression on the rights of the citizen
legitimate. We demand and ask you to
concur in demanding protection to every
citizen of the great Republic on the basis of
equality before the law and further that no
State Government should be recognized as
legitimate under the Constitution in so far
as it does not by its organic law make impar
tial protection full and complete. Under the j
dootrine of State sovereignty, with rebels in
the foreground controlling Southern legisla
tures, and embittered by disappointment in
their schemes to destroy the Union there
will be no safety for the loyal element of the
South. Our reliance for protection is now
on Congress, and the great Union party that
has stood and is standing by tbe nationality
by the constitutional rights of the citizen,
and by the bcneficient principles of free
government. For the purpose of bringing
the loyal Unionists of the South into conjuc
tive action with the true friends of republi
can government of the North, we invite you
to send delegates in goodly numbers from
all the Southern States, including the States
of Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware, to meet at Inde
pendence Ilall in the city of Philadelphia,
on the first Monday of September next. It
is proposed that we should meet at that
time to recommend measures for the estab
lishment of* such a Government in the South
as accords with and protects the rights of all
citizens. We trust the call will be respon
ded to by numerous delegations, of such as
represent the true loyalty of the South, aud
that kind of Government which gives full
protection to all the rights of the citizens
and such as our fathers intended and we
claim as our birth right. Either the lovers of
constitutional liberty must rule the nation or
rebels and their sympathizers be permitted
to misrule it. Shall loyalty or disioyalty
bave the Keeping of the destinies of the
uaijon? Let the responses to this call which
is now in circulation for signatures and is
being numerously signed answer. Notice i 6

their names attached to it by sending a re

Berks are complaining because Hiester Cly
mer,Copperhead candidate for Governor,
was not assigned a consyicuous position in
the great Philadelphia Soldiers parade.
Hiester Clymer indeed! And why should
he have been thus honored? Is it because,
ol his vote against arming the State in 1861?
or hi- vote against increased pay to the sol
dier"? his votes in favor of disfranchising
the soldiers in the field or bis steadfast op
position throughout the war to every patriot
ic measure in which the brave soldiers of
the Commonwealth weri interested? llad
the Committee of Arrangements placed
Clymer in tnat line of battle scarred veter
ans, every soldier would have resented it as
a personal outrage. Hiester Clymer, by bis
unpatriotic course had no right nor the
shadow of a claim to any participation in
the Grand Ovation. He was very properly
left out.
• Gen. John TV. Geary, on the other hand,
earned the right by long and gallant services
to the position assigned him as Head of a
Division. Every soldier present felt that
the honor accorded to him, and the cheers
that greeted him on every hand, as he pas
sed through the streets, were most justly
his due. The difference between the two
Gubernatorial candidates was never more
correctly defined than by their respective
positions on the late memorable anniversary.

such men asColonel Stokes of Tennessee,
ami Governor Hamilton, of Texas, arc pre
paring an address to the true loyal anduneon
ditionul Union men of the States lately in
rebellion, calling a convention to assemble
here iu September next. It will be an off
set to tho Copperjohnson convention which
meets in Philadelphia nest month.
THE editor of the Berks and Schuylkill
.Journal having been favored with an offi
cial document from one E. CowaD, answers
it in the following manner :
"A REGRET.**" —We are in receipt of a
semi official document (franked by Cowan)
enclosing a special invitation from the Hon
Alex. \\. Randall, to be present, at the
"Bread and Butte; Convention'" of Nation
al office holders and Copperheads, called to
meet J a Philadelphia on the 15th of August,
to support Johnson's '"policy." Mr. Ran
dall v ill please count us out. When we can
no longer cam our "bread and butter" by
honest labor, we will prefer to take up our
quarters in the poor house rather than turn
traitor to the great party with which we
have been identified all our life.
How THE PEOPLE RECEIVED GEX. GEARV.
—A Philadelphia paper, speaking of the re
cent Fourth of July celebration i that city,
soys: "They who witnessed the spontaneous,
hearty, enthusiastic reception accorded to
Gen. Geary yesterday, as he rode amid his
old comrades in arms, surrounded by the torn
banners which he and they had followed to
victory and glory on so many wgll-fonght
fields of the war. could have no doubt as to
where the hearts of the people are iu our
present political contest. Geary is the peo
ple's favorite, aud well he deserves to be.
rie periled his life for his country at an hour
when many of bis present defamers were anx
iously listening for the approach ot the rebel
hordes, and ready to welcome them with out
stretched arms."
PENNSYLVANIA ORPHANS. —No feature of
the celebration in Philadelphia on the 4th
was more impressive or touching than the
orphan boys marching in the line of parade
and the orphan girls riding in the ambulances.
These precious charges of our dead heroes
had been promptly looked after, bv the com
monwealth. and they showed in their bright
happy faces the exuberance of spimapeculiar
to the occasion. They were ail well clad,
healthy-looking and apparently intelligent
and sturdy : worthy scions of a noble stock.
Such an exhibition at the close of a great wwr,
iu which the resources of the State were tax
ed to the utmost, shows to the world that
Pennsylvania looks well after her people.
b-.~ _ The following is uri extract from a
letter from one of the leading war Democrats
of Wisconsin: '*We are going to have a fine
time in Wisconsin this fall, if Doolittle and
Randall come, as it is understood they will,
to stump the State. They have no strength
here, and will he coldly received when they
come, and will absolutely fall in their mis
sion. The feeling in Wisconsin against both
of them is intense, especially against Doolit
tle. There ate localities iti the State where
he would be likely to meet with personal vio
lence, and in Racine there are many lending
men: who have been his warm friends, who
say they will not shake hands with him. He
and liandail evidently think they can come
here and walk over the course, but they will
find it rougher than the road to Jordan."
"Awmtat Democratic Victory."—
Scran ton has just elected a "Democratic'
Mayor ami Council. It always went that
way, we believe, but that makes no differ
ence.
