CAMPAIGN INaUIRER
The INQUIRER will be issued as a cam
p&iga paper from and after the Ist of July to
the 12th of October, 1866, to accommodate
those wb ' are not -egular subscribers.
The importance of the campaign should
stimulate the Republican party to place the
I p iRFU in the hands of every friend of Re
j Id iear, principles iu this county. The can
vas* 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
jiarty should lie alive to the necessity of
promptly distributing healthy reading matter
among the masses. Bedford county must be
carried against Copperhead ism at the coming
election. We were only bc-atcn on an aver
age from ISO to 140 last fall. At least 160
deserters voted to make this majority. Since
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,
ha.- so terribly abused its power in this coun
ty for the last four years, and to accomplish
this much desired resalt the IXQCIRKR will
abor earnestly and deal most vigorous blows.
KvtT> Union Man iu the County, with
out an exception, should have a Copy.
1t our friends see thai this is the ease. A
little exertion will do it.

being unwell, Mr. Raymond sat alongside of
tho bed and read until his wife fell asleep.
He then went into nn adjoining room and re
tired for the night. About three o'clock on
Wednesday rooming, Mrs. Raymond was
aroused by a noise as if something was drop
ping upor. the floor. She felt for her hus
band, and finding that he was absent, got up
and hurried to the other room, thinking her
husband was sick. She soon discovered,
however, that her husband was dead, and her
screams aroused one of the neighbors, who
immediately ran to the house. Upon exam
ining the deceased, it was found that he had
been struck on the temple, on the chin and

from the woodshed on the place. The axe
was found in the kitchen down stairs, cover

The country is literally covered with
Book Agents and Pedlars, many ot whom are
able-bodied and capable of following occupa
tions that would redound much m<jre to their
credit. There are enough of crippled sol
diers and other disabled persons, to practice
these professions, without flooding the coun
try with men who can take off their coats and
make a hand at any manual labor. The
country people should not countenance any
man pursuing either of the above occupations
unless he can show satisfactory evidence of
his inability to perform other labor.

HENRY, son of Hugh and Mary Wilson aged 10
months and 9 days.
On the 9th of June, 1*66, Mr. JOHN AKE, Sr.,
departed this life; aged 72 yrs. 11 tuos. and 24
days.
The following obituary' was unintentionally de
layed by Rer. J. H. McGarrah, who officiated.
Mr. Akc came to Bedford county about the
year 1819 or 20, and was, I beliere, tip to the
time of his death, a citizen of this county. He
was a friend to the poor, and the calls of the
church, though he was not a tiember, always re
ceired a liberal response. His most prominent
trait of character was a disposition to reconcile
of!ended parties; be was a peace-maker, and many
of his neighbors can testify that he was the means
of a ljus'ing, in a peaceable and conciliatory way,
their difficulties, when they could not do it them
selves.
His children need never be ashamed of bis po
litical record. Iu the hour of his country's peril,
he was her friend, standing side by side vfith her
through all the gloom; and he wus permitted to
live to see her again in the sunshine.
His death wa. sudden and unexpected; for,
though he bad been visibly failing for several
years past, his friends did not apprehend imme
diate death. Ho was able to visit his son-in-law,
Mr. Henderson, on Friday, the Bth of June, and
to return to his own residence in the evening.
During the night, however, he complained more
than usual, and a physician, at his repjesf, was
brought, but nothing could be done for him,
the forces of life were speht, and a few minutes
before II o'clock he fell from his feet into the
arms of his son-in-law, and expired.

CiEN WISE BADLY RECONSTRUC
TED.
The following extra* from the speech of
Gen. Hemy A. Wise at the celebration of
Stonewall Jackson, is worthy of considera
tion because he teß's plainly what roost
rebels mean but dare not avow. He said:
"I don't know that I am a prisoner,
i Laughter. ] lam bound by no chain. I
have a pass to go where I please upon the
soil of my native land. At least Gen. Grant
says so. I may be arrested, but 1 wanted
no man living to tell m > whither I might go.
[Cheers. J J have the proud satisfaction of
saying that 1 fought until we had won the
privilege of being paroled. [Applause.]
There is no authority here or elsewhere to
arrest me or to stop my mouth, so long as I
obey the conditions of (hat parole; and upon
that parole 1 shall stand so long as I live.
[Applause.] You call me a prisoner of war;
lam not a prisoner of war. If prisoner at
all, lam a prisoner of peace. Among the
last shots fired by infantry at Appomattox,
were those fired jjy the troops that I had
the honor and pride to lead: and there at
Appomattox peace was brought about.
" You call the cause lost; it is ifbt lost.
If it is lost, the cause of civil liberty is
doomed, for it, too. is lost. There was a
Paradise lost and a Paradise regained and
there will be a paradise regained in this
country. The blood that has been spilled
is too precious. I should not believe in God,
if I did not believe that a special providence
would, yet give victory to and secure the
triumph of civil liberty in this country.
"One thing can be said there was one man
who could not be driven to do that which he
did not consent to do. As long as one man
in this Commonwealth—[a voice, What
Commonwealth?] What Commonwealth?
There never was but one Virginia. But I
tell you, Old Virginia is not at home. She
wiil come back some of these days, and then
the devil take the hind most. lam watch
ing, and will tell her, when she comes what
has been done in her absence. I'll say,
•Mamma, yourchildren did not do that. It
was done by impostors and pretenders.
Again. I say, there is but one Virginia
They have taken and are wieldingjjjer pow
ers. If lam traitor, let them make the
most af it. If lam a traitor, why don't
they try me and hang me? 1 have lost my
lands and property, but I would clean boots
on your streets sooner than bow to usurpa
tion. If I had triumphed. I ,-hould have
favored stripping them naked. j
Pardon! They might have appealed for
pardon, but I woe Id nave seen them damned
before I would have granted it For, my
self, the boot being on the other leg. I take
no oaths? I ask no pardons? ( Prolonged
cheers.] I give you that brigade—the old,
the lasting, the enduring Wise Brigade.

The Joiut Resolution ou the Admission
of Tennessee.—lts Passage by the
House—The Vote for and Against it.
WASHINGTON, July 20.
The House of Representatives to day pas
sed the following joint resolution declaring
Tennessee again entitled to Senators and
Representatives in Congress:
WHEREAS, The State of Tennes.<sce has,
in good faith, ratified the articles of amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States proposed by the XXXIXth Congress
to the Legislatures of the several States,
and has also shown, to the satisfaction of
Congress, by a proper spirit of obedience in
the body of her people her return to her due
allegiance to the government, laws and au
thority of the United States, therefore,
Be it resulted bit the Senate and House of
Representatives of the La it a I St'Hes of Ame
rica in Congress assembled. That the State
of Tennessee is hereby restored to her for
mer practical relation to the Union, and is
again entitled to be represented by Senators
and Representatives in Congress duly elec
ted aud qualified upon their taking the oath
of office required by existing laws.
Democrats voted for it under protest, and
it did not suit extremes, as it did not the
Radicals. Tbad Stevens, vote was encored.
Mr. Stevens resolution to adjourn until
the first Saturday in December, and to give
the presiding officers of the two Houses
power to call a special session was defeated
—yeas forty eight, nays seventy.
Mr. Stevens. Reconstruction Bill was laid
on the table —yeas ninety six, nays thirty
seven. The consideration and disposal of
these three imnortant items, drew the first
audience to the House since the warm
weather.
The Hottest Heather for a Century.
The following statement from Yale College
wiil be read with interest:
This afternoon, at 3 P. SI., my thermom
eter, suspended in the shade upon the north
side of the New Haven Hotel, indicated
103} degrees, feeing the highest temperature
known to have been obtained in New Haven
since 1778. a period of 89 years. The high
est temperature recorded before the present.
season vat 102 degrees, viz: June 24th,
1864. Previous to this, the thermometer
had been twice obseived at 101 degrees, viz :
in 1798, and there have been three other
cases in which the thermometer has risen to
100 degrees, viz: in 1781, ISOO and 1845,
making in all seven known instances in
which a thermometer, fairly exposed in the
shade, has risen to 100 degrees and upward.
The period ju=t passed has been quite as
remarkable for the long continuance of ex
treme heat, as for its intensity. Within a
period of eleven daya, the thermometer has
risen five times to 95 degrees and upward.
Since 1778 there has been only one other
instance in which the thermometer has risen
to this height, five times daring the same
summer, viz : 1845; and these cases are
spread over an interval of thirty-cix days.
During the same period, there have been
but two other eases in which the thermome
ter has risen to 95 degrees, as many at four
times during the same summer, viz: in 1780
and 1798.
The hottest month at New Haven since
1778, was the month of July. 1825. The
beat of the past thirty days has been some
what higher than that of July, 1825. so
j that we seem authorized in asserting that
the heat of the recent period has been more
intense, and the extreme heat has been
!oncer continued, than ha.- occurred befopj
in eighty-nine years, and probably for a
much longer period.

Amkrican Pluck.—' The New York
Commercial Adrcrtiter says: Anurias
course in quickly giving up Venetia and call
ing upon Napolecn to interfere in her behalf,
after encountering one defeat, contrasts
stronify with the plcck and determination
exhibited by Americans, North and South,
during the late war. A single reverse on the
the held of battle is sufficient to compel the
Austriaos, who of all .Europeans have been
supposed to be the most resolute, "to
throw up the sponge, "and cry "enough."
On taking a retrospect of our own conflicts
however, we find that such defeats as Sa
dowa were time and again encountered by
both the Federals and insurgents without
shaking their determination or purpose. In
view '4 these facts may we not he excused
for "boasting!v parading," as an English
journal has it, our American pluck, determ
ination and endurance? Certainly no other
people on Ihe face of the earth would have
prolonged the struggle one-third of the
time.

deus Stevens will be a candidate for United
States Senator will somewhat derange the
calculation of some aspirants in a few coun
ties but it will not effect the result. If
'1 haddcus Stevens were ten years younger,
with his present fame, ha would sweep the
field ; but the Union party will not venture
to elect hira to a posision foi six years that
he can hardly hope to fill. I doubt whether
he desires it, notwithstanding the state
ments of the Lancaster papers. He may
have refused to prohibit the use of his name
but he will not enter into the contest for the
place, lie will be returned to the House
this fall by an increased majority, and will, I
trust, remain where he has gained his endu
ring fame, until he falls in the harness, as
did John Quincy Adams.
AITF.K THE STORM.—The gentleman who
foliowa the changes of the moon for the St.
Paul (Minn.) J'ram recently made the fol
lowing effort to describe the calin that suc
ceeded a storm in his part of the country :
"A cold, dark, tempestuous fortnight has
been succeeded by two such serene and per
fect days as were never seen outside of Heav
en and Minnesota. The pilgrim through this
world will find no such rich and gorgeous
sunlight, no such sweet Sabbath calm, no
sky so wondrously pellucid, aad no atmos
phere so radiantly pure and joyous, till he
gets several miles boyond this vale of tears,
and reaches the celestial splendors which
bathe the Delectable Mountains. Earth
and air and sky seem fallen into a heavenly
trance, as if they had gone to sleep on a
dessert of strawberries and cream, and were
dreamineof more."
THE following card, which appears in the
Lancaster Express of Tuesday, explains how
the Clymerites do up things in the county of
the "Old Guard:" Last evening's Intelli
gencer refers to my confinement in prison for
the last thirty days. This is very unkind,
and I have no doubt that some Copperheads
made me drunk for the purpose of procuring
'my name to the Clymer bogus soldier call,
and then took me before the Mayor and had
me sent up for thirty days, for fc-ar that I
might immediately expose the outrage that
had been perpetrated upon me. The Mayor
is in the habit of sending up persons who
do not belong to his party, and discharging
his party friends.
MONTGOMERY PAINTER.
THE Copperheads are gathering. In all
parts of the country their faces are set to
wards Philadelphia and Washington. From
the Baltimore America a we learn that Jesse
P. Bright, Clement L. Vallandigham and
Charles J. Fanlkner pa-sel through that
city on Wednesday evening on their way to
\\ ashington. In the cars they exhibited
great glee, and rejoiced over their political
prospects. Messrs. \ ailandigham and
Bright openly proclaimed their mission to
Washington to be to urge upon the Presi
dent the appointment of John B. Weller.

A New York city correspondent says that

THURSDAY last was the hottest day ever
known in New York City according to the
Herald. The thermometer stood at one
hundred and two in the shade at three P. M.
Out of forty three cases of .-un stroke twenty
three were fatal. Nine cases out of sixteen
in Brooklyn were attended with fatal results.
FHE soldiers of Cambria county who favor
"my policy and Heister Clymer, are to
have a convention in Kbeii-burg on the 25th.
The Alleghaiiun says: "This convention, it
is thought, will be asked to indorse the ac
tion of the Democratic party in refusing to
grant the soldiers the right to vote while in
the field. If not large in number it will be
entirely respectable, and we anticipate an
interesting and instructive session."
£Bg"*Tbe following is a provision in the
new Constitution of North Carolina : "Nc
person who shall deny the being of Almigh
ty God. or the divine authority of both the
Old and New Testaments, or who shall hold
religious opinions incompatible with thti
freedom or safety wf the State, shall b
capable of holding any office or place of
trust or profit in any civil department."
THE Democrats are pointiug to the fact
that three New England Senators voted to
postpone the Tariff Bill as proof of the un
soundness of the Republican party on that
question, but omit to say that ever}' Demo
crats Senator steadily voted in the interest
of Free Trade, lite whole story would be
damaging to them, and they therefore tell
just so much of it su suits their purpose.—
