THE RESULT IN BEDFORD UOENTV.
"AVc have met the enemy and tluy atf;
[not] ours !" The re-.uk in the county was j
uot as we we supposed it would be car'.y iu
the canvas. We were led to believe ifom
data in our possession, that the comity
would be very close, but the inerca o of
votes in the heavy copperhead districts,
and the inability to increase our own vote
in a like proportion in Republican district-,
exhibiting the fact that at the last two or
three preceding elections our entire vote was
out, completely unhorsed us, and sent the
county into the hands of our opponents by
a majority varying from one to three hun
dred. We certainly expected that John \\ .
Lingenf'elter would be elected Prothonotary.
but the treachery of some' of those from
whom we had a right to expectbetter things,
and the enormous vote, brought defeat Oven
to his door. Never in the history of this
county was there such an effort made by
the party in opposition to the Republican
party t<? get out their vote and to keep the
shaky members of their party under their
control as was made during the last canvas
Money was lavished with a degree of ex
travagance unsurpassed in the history of
political corruption. Thousands of dollars
were expended where previously only a few
hundreds were necessary and applied;
offices were peddled about and tendered pro
miscuously to any one who was willing to
fall down and worship the golden calf;
threats were applied to all who held office
under the administration ; Sharpe, Latta,
and others were imported to harangue the
people from every stump and school house
in the county, and when the fact that Bed
ford county had no district candidates upon
the Republican ticket and that the entire
woiW of liibxthig die huiTuiuuu cfforio of the
opposition devolved- solely upon the party in
the county is added, is it not astonishing
that we did so well ? The majority against
Geary will be about 235, an increase of 102
votes on the vote of last year, or the Re
publican gain of 178 on the vote for Abra
ham Lincoln in 1864.
B@What'g the matter now, "Dad" Lew
is? Huntingdon 1200 majority for Geary!
Please send all the surplus drapery you hare
oa hand over to one B. Lutz, editor of the
Aughwick Valley Herald.
Query —lf two quasi Republican papers
going over to Clyiner in ona couuty can in
crease the Republican majority from 900 to
1200, how much would they have injured the
same cause by remaining?
VILLAGE CAMP MEETING. —There will be a
Village Camp Meeting held in the Methodist
Church in Bloody Run, commencing Friday
night, Nov. 23d. Preaching three times a
day, viz: 10j a. m., 3 p. in., and at night.
Rev. Thoa. Barnhart, Presiding Elder, and
other distinguished clergymen are expected
to be present.
IhwNTiES.—The act equalizing bounties ha
become a law. Persons who enlisted in 1801-
2, and who were Only entitled to, and receiv
ed are now entitled to another SIOO in
addition. The heirs of all deceased soldiers
of tbie class are entitled to SIOO. All appli- ,
cations to DCRBORROW & Lrrrz, Bedford, will
be promptly attenden to. t.K
TIIE DEAD DECKS.
The Gazette i we presume, will
contain some very significant
heads this w ek. such as "Grand
triumph of negro suffrage!"
"Negro Eq lality Established!"
"The people sustain Congress in
giving S3OO Extra Bounty to the
nigger and SIOO to the white sol
dier!" "The Nigger Pie-nic
Popular!'" "Pennsylvania no
longer a white man's State!"
"Copperheads must marry colored
ladies !" These significant heads
will be followed, quite probably,
with an elaborate argument to
satisfy the negroes that the Cop
perhead party was ever an earnest
and consistent advocate of the
cause of the negro.
So effectual was the logic used
by the Gazette and the orators of
its party who harangued the, de
lectable squads which assembled
in various school houses and bye
places throughout the county, that
the above side issues were the is
sues of the canvas, that on j
Wednesday morning, when the
telegraph announced the decisive
ness of Geary's victory, one of
the county leaders of that party,
who had imbibed a little too free
ly, swore most lustily that since
the people had. declared in favor
of "Negro Suffrage" and "Negro
Equality ' that he should hang
himself. The last that was seen
of the afflicted and chagrined
Copperhead, who was determined
to thus sacrifice himself upon the
altar of Copperheadism, he was
in the hands of E. F. Kerr, Esq.
who was endeavoring, by the
most subtle logic, to convince
him that it was a useless sacrifice,
as the cry of "Negro suffrage"
and "Negro Equality" was only
intended to gull the ignorant. Mr.
Kerr supposed that every leader
of the party understood as mueh
and that it was entirely unneces-
to nftke any 6xplan"atloiis af
ter the election, and further, if he
insisted on hanging himself, that
it must be evident to every intel
ligent mind that it would bo
dead loss of one vote and the par
ty had lost already too much in
Bedford township. Whelht rthe
individual has hung himself or
not, we can not say, l ' hut those de
siring to know are referred to
Mr. IveiT who eau. give them all
the satisfaction in die world.
THANKSGIVING.
Proclamation of the President ot the
United States Appointing Thursday,
November 29th, a Day of National
Thanksgiving.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.
The following proclamation has just been
issued by the .President of the United
States;
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, has
; been pleased to vouchsafe to us as a people
! another year of that national lite which is an
indispensable condition of poaeo, security
and progress. That year has, moreover,
been crowned with many peculiar blessings.
The civil war, that so recently dosed among
us, has not been anywhere reopened. For
eign intervention has ceased to excite alarm
,or apprehension. Intrusive pestilence has
been benignly mitigated ; domestic tranquil
ity has improved; sentiments of conciliation
have largely prevailed, and the affections of
loyalty and patriotism have been widely re
ceived. Our fields have yielded quite abun
dantly; our mining industry has been richly
rewarded, and we nave been allowed to ex
tend our railroad system'far into the recess
es of the country; while Our nation has ro
sumed its customary activity in foreign seas.
The great national blessings demand a
national acknowledgment.
Now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United Stoles, do hereby
commend that Thursday, the 2'Jth day of
Noveaiber next, be set apart, and be observ
ed everywhere in the several States and
i Territories nf the I SUatas Kjr 11>„
pie thereof, as a day of thanksgiving and
praise to Almighty God.
With due remembrance that "in Ilis tem
ple doth every man speak of His honor," I
recommend also that on the same solemn oc
casion they do humbly and devoutly implore
Him to grant to our national councils and
our whole people thatrdivine wisdom which
can alone lead any nation into the ways of
all good.
In offering these national thanksgiv ings,
praise's and supplications, we have the divine
assurance that "the Lord remaineth a king
forever ; them that arc weak shall be guided
in judgment, and such as are gentle shall
JTe learn His way. The Lord give strength
to His people, and the Lord shall give to
Ills people the blessing of peace."
In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.'

Santa Anna again Recruiting in San
Antonia for on Attack on Matamoras.—
Whereabouts of Juarez—Condition of
the Inberal Force*. *
NKW YORK, Oct. 8.
Advices from San Antonio, via Galveston,
Texas, say that quite a number of Santa An
na's agents are at work recruiting lor a raid
on Matamoras.
Hut little sympathy was shown them there,
it being fully understood that Santa Anna bad
pledged to Napokon to acknowledge the
French debt if he succeeded in gaining a
footing on the Mexican soil. Very few have
signified their intention of joining his stand
ard, as he is known to be inimical to the Lib
eral cause, and his antecedents with the Tex
ans having always been of a questionable
character from his former treacheries.
Quite large quantities of arms, ammunition
and supplies have lately reached the Mexican
frontier, designed for Juarez's arms at Mon
terey and other places.
The forces under General Escobeda are
now in excellent condition and will soon be
fully equipped for,the coming winter eaui
pai^u.
The latest advices from Chihuahua of Sept.
IT, state that Juarez was then at that place
preparing for an early departure lor Monte
rey, where General Escobeda was at present
in command.
The Liberal forces were in excellent con
dition and sanguine of success, and await the
presence of their President, who for five
years has upheld their cause.
JOIINSONISM.
Attempted Murder of the Southern Loy
alist Delegation.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 8.
Col. Highani, one of the Southern loyalists,
who was not allowed to speak in Cairo on
Friday night, publishes a card, in which he
states that the rioters at the meeting were
armed with revolvers and bowie knives, and
came there with the avowed purpose of inau
gurating another New Orleans tragedy. The
delegation, which wa3 supposed to include
Brownlow and Hamilton, came near meeting
with a fearful accident on their way to Cairo.
The train upon which they were supposed to
be was thrown off the track, on a high em
bankment, eighty miles above Cairo, at 2
o'clock on Wednesday morning, by the re
moval of two rails, which threw the engine
off the track, killed the engineer, and badly
wounded the fireman and four other persons.
The indications all point to this act as a de
liberate attempt to kill Brownlow and Ham
ilton. The whole delegation have arrived
here safely, and will have a public reception
in Lucas Place to-night.
A violent attempt was made to break up a
meeting on Saturday night, callad iu the in
terest of the Radicals.
THE LOYALISTS.
Grand Ovation to the Delegation of South
em Loyalists in St. Louis.
ST. LOOS, Oct, 8.
The reception of the Southern Loyalists
to-night was a grand ovation.
A torchlight procession two miles long es
corted the delegation to the Lucas Market
Place, where thousands of citizens had al
ready gathered, and which was decorated
with hundreds of flags, banners, transpar
encies, lanterns. Ac.
Hon. Henry T. Blair delivered the wel
coming address, which was responded to in
a very able argument by Governor Hamilton
of Texas.
Speeches were made from three stands by
different members of the delegation,, and the
utmost enthusiasm prevailed.
The number present had but slightly di
minished at 11.30 to-night.

Secret Rebel Societies North and South.
NEW YORK, October 5.
The Tribune's New Orleans special says :
Some important disclosures will soon be offi
cially made public in reference to secret rebel
societies which permeate the entire South.
These organizations have branch circles in
New York city and the West. That in
New Y'ork is said to number 50,0(X), princi
pally composed of men who served in the
rebel army. Each Circle has a different
name. Some are known as the "True Sons
of the South," others as the "Knights of
Arabia," ana all are well armed with the
most improved weapons, ready at a mo
ment's notice, should a favorable opportu
nity arise, to renew the struggle for the lost
cause. One of the chief members of this
organization, now in prison, is said to have
made important disclosures.
General Sheridan is concentrating troops
in this city for important purposes, which
willsoon be made apparent.
Nine cases of whipping of negroes have
been recently officially reported in the Parish
of Bienville. One old woman seventy years
of age received four hundred lashes.
The following explains itself: New Or
leans, September 20th, 18f>6. To his Excel
lency. Gov. Throckmorton. —I have just re
ceived riom Col. Mason the report on the
affair which occurred at Benham, Texas, ou
the Ttli Instant, and have directed him to
notify Brevet Major Smith, that he must
not permit himself nor any of his men to he
arrested. 1 respectfully request of your Ex
cellency to do all in your power to allay the
excitement there, and I will do all in my
power to satisfy the ends of justice in ovary
case, but T doubt if much justice could he
done in a community which compels our
officers and soldiers to remain inside of the
defenses thrown around their camp. I will
have an additional and thorough investiga
tion of this affair, if possible, to ascertain if
any soldiers were guilty of the affair: but
Col. Mason is clearly of the impression that
those designated for arrest are innocent.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
PHIL. H. SHERIDAN,

The Time's New Orleans special says: A
large number of Justices in different par
ishes have sent certificates to Gen. Sheridan
that they are unable to execute the laws

Magnificent Offer by Mr. A. T. Stewart
The Harold says: Mr. Stewart proposes
to devote one million of dollars to the build
ing of small tenement houses for the use of
the working classes, to be let at a low rent,
suited to the means of those iu receipt of
but small incomes, and to devote the accu
mulation of receipts for rent, Ac., to the
extension of the undertaking. For this
purpose Mr. Stewart lias applied to the mu
nicipal authorities for a grant of land, mere
ly stipulating that the sole management of
the matter, the appointment of trustees,
aim one or two minor points should be ves
ted in his hands. Hitherto the required
land has not been granted, but in case of a
refusal, Mr. Stewart wiil not be daunted,
lie intends to carry outr his noble purpose
all the same, only of course the number of
dwellings will be smaller at first, as part of
the sum, which would otherwise be entirely
devoted to the construction of the houses,
will then have to be used for the purchase
of land.
MERCY TO THE TRAITORS
General John A. Logan is making a tre
mendous canvass in Illinois. The following,
in reply to hi 3 Johnson competitor, serves
also as a rejoinder to such men as Edgar
Cowan, in this State, who are so eager that
the rebels shall be forgiven and the Radicals
hanged:
"Now, My friend Dickey says you must be
charitable and forgiving; and if we do that,
these people will come back, and we will all
live happily together. Oh, yes, you must
forgive them —forgive them for the murder of
oOOjOOO of your boys and friends; forgive
them for draping this land in mourning and
causing river* of our best blood to flow;
forgive them for making a different flag from
yours and tiring upon ours; forgive them for
making a different Constitution and tramp
ling ours under foot; forgive them for making
a different Government and trying to destroy
ours. They sought to do all this, but now
must be forgiven. Oh, yes, treason must be
forgiven, and loyalty must take a back seat;
treason must take a front seat. I believe Lu
cifer once tried to commit treason in Heaven.
Heaven was so merciful to him that the arch
angel Michael hurled him from Heaven head
long, and he went miles into hall; and 1 have
not heard of his coming out of there. [Laugh
ten - and cheers.] If you want to get him out
oi that place, I don't know how you v-ill do it,
unless my friend Dickey applies to President
Johnson fur perdon. [Groat laughter.] I
can't understand it in any other way.
This, then, is the manner in which we
must deal with rebels. You have robbers,
murderers and plunderers in this country,
and you send them to the penitentiary. If a
man commits a murder, you hang him. Yet
these men committed treason against the
Government—a higher crime than murder,
robbery or larceny, or than any other in this
tyt. fffa 'fifty? /(jtgiYfflkem." * [Laugh
ter. )
Now, I ask my friend Dickey this: "Why,
If you are .so forgiving and so desirous that

American Machinery Abroad.
Ihe London Times and the largest Eng
lish newspapers are printed by Hoe's presses,
American reapers and other agricultural im
plements take the lead in England, and our
sewing machines may now be found In every
well ordered British household. Commercial
Journal, in a recent issue, describes a hand
some sewing machine which has been made
for an English lady of high rank. We quote
the paragraph:
"As the sewing machine has Lean advan
ced gradually from purely manufacturing
uses to a household position, and thence to
on adjunct of the duties of a refined home,
Messrs. Grover A Baker, 150 Regent Street,
have wisely catered for lhe r supply in a more
eiegraiit form, and the mamhhes tlicy have
now'hroriglit before the public prcse'i' ♦!.<%
appearance of cabinets, ana arc made in va
rious woods. This firm has juA completed a
mucliine, designed and ornamented express
ly for a lady of rank, which surpasjes, for el
egance, anything of the kind ever seen. The
table and stand are of satin wood, inlaid with
tulip wood, with carved border, and richly
gilt. The niaelilhe itself is silver-plated, in
laid with penrß land most delicately tinted.
It has been pronounced, by all who have seen
it, as perfection."
There is quite a controversy going on in
another British periodical, The Queen*, with
regard to tlie "qualities and advantages of<tlie
different American sewing machines. A cor
respondent •of the last-mentioned paper
writes:
''l am happy to inform 'Perplexity' that I
tmve been rising omfof Orover & Baker's ma
chines for the last six months. I can not
speak too highly of the beauty of .the work,
por of the perfect ease with which it is used

Our text is Health, and wo will put our cominen
taiy into a nutshell. Wenlcnet* ia indirectly the
caure of all sickness; fer if nature be strong
enough to resist the morbid influences which pro
duce illness, of course they are powerless. Seek
strength, therefore. Invigorate and regulate the
system. When the quicksilver ranges from 80 to
98 degrees in tho shade, the most athletic are en
feebled , and the weak are prostrated. It is at
such a time that such an invigorator as HOSTKT
TE IVfci STOMACH BITTERS i urgently need
ed. What are the effects of this rare Vegetable
Tonic? Would that all who have known its ben
efits could condense their experience into this
paragraph. They would tell the healthy, te pro
tect their health they must use this great safe
guard against the debilitating influences. They
would exhort the weak to discard all unmcdicated
and impure stimulants and cling to this whole
some and unfailing tonic and alterative as the
shipwreck ed mariner would cling to a raft in a
stormy sea. They would tell, of dyspeptic pangs
relieved, of appetite restored, of shattered nerves
restruDg, of headaches cured, of disordered func
tions regulated, of hypochondria dissipated, of
miasmatic diseases baffiod, of fever and ague cur
ed, of liver complaints arrested, of heat, priva
tion and toil defied, of hope reanimated, and
cheerfulness restored. Such are the effects of
HOSTETTER'S BITTERS.

They would fill Broadway six ieet high, from the

Drake painted all the rooks in the Eastern States
with his cabalistic "S. T.—IS6O.—X," and then
got the old granny legislators to pass a law "pre
venting disfiguring the face of nature," which
gives him a monopoly. We do not know how
this is, but we do know the Plantation Bitters
