Tlie County Contuiu have issued a call fur a county meeting, ro be b*-bl " Tuesday night of Court week., in which is is announ ced that the campaign of JB*W to com incnee. Republicans, <l*o you realize that this is the case? Whether* you ixmtiac it or not, it it- never!helcss only • true. Ihe campaign is upon us and you must go to work at once in good earnest to pot the Republican hosts in battle army. The fight is likely to be a long and desperate one, and it may be much more desperate than uiany of you art willing to believe. The Copper head organs ft. ni Main* to Texas, are threat cuing civil war itln ady. Of course these croakers who skedaddled to Canada or hid in caves when dratted, arc <>l very little ac count, but the satire class ~ s men stimulated the South with promise- of ii--i=iabce until the time for action caun:, ami then coward like, stole away and left their .Southern friends to fight it out. They may do the same thing again. They may get somebody else into a fight, never thtiu-elves. Let the party thoroughly organize and prepare for the worst. Lot the soldiers be organized in every township and borough throughout the county. An ounce ol prevention is worth more than a pounded cure. The Spring election will la- upon us in a few weeks, commence the .work of organi zation at once. Let every borough and township in the county have a regularly nominated Republican District ticket, nom inated at least ten days before the 3rd Fri day in March. Let the A igilauce Commit tees that were appointed last Fall, stir up their sub School District Committees, so that every man in a district who votes the Republican ticket will be teen and induced to attend the election. Many of the minor Dorough aud township, officers, though of very little consequence in a general way, have much to do in advancing the interests of the party, and no opportunity should be left slip to elect Republicans where Repub licans can be elected. This is by far the safest plan. Many persons come to the conclusion, because an office i< trifling with in itself, that there is no use paving any at tention to it. the office of Assessor for in stance. This is all wrong. Our Copper head friends never leave an opportunity of the kind pass. Not they. The County Committee has also been called together. This call i.- made for the purpose of selecting a Delegate to the State Convention, whieh assembles in March, as j will be seen by notice given in this issue. I We desire the Committee to fully under stand the duty which devolves upon them and to act intelligently The selecting of a Delegate to the .State Convention is of much more importance than ordinarily. That Delegate will have much to do in shaping the course of events in this Congressional District in f he coming campaign. The State Convention will select an Electoral ticket, to be voted for at the Presidential clectiou. The Delegate will hive utuch to do with his selection. The Elector will regulate the Congressional nomination. If the Elector should be taken from the lower end of the District the candidate for Congress will be taken from the upper end and nee ccrm. Delegates will also be selected to the Nation al Convention. Here again the Delegate will have &u important voice iu the selec tion of Delegates and Alternate-. It is all important that good men be selected for these positions. Who are to fill the positions of Elector, Delegates and Alternates? Again a member of the State Central Com ruitteo from this county is to be chosen, in whose hands will rest a great part of the labor and success of the campaign in this con- *. Who i- to fill tltis position? We want to commence at the root and build up such an organization as will sweep Copper headism out of existence. We have no personal interest in the different applicants for Delegate, hut we would like very much to know their views in regard to the selec tion of persons to fill these various positions. Wc expect to do our share of the work, which is generally about one half, and some times considerably more, anct we hope we will not be asked to " go it blind " for any body. Let the Committee look at this mat iner gravely, and do the best for the party. Let the first step toward the incoming cam. paign be taken judiciously, and without any regard to persons, and if this is done we c-an expect to triumph. TUB HEW HECOHSTKKCTIOH BILL.

In the House it passed by a vote of yeas—-123; nays—4s: Be it enacted, <tc., That in Virginia, North Caroiina ; South Carolina, Georgia.

Editors Inquirer.—lT we are too eager for allowance in your colnmns, please remind u> in your next issue that you desire no further news from this scene of bloody con flicts. No sensation, is intended, for we are not engaged in another war for the Union, nor do we propose to institute any such thing as rebellion, or secession. We are popularly known as Bloody Run ners:—but we arc only running after our own business. "Do we ever gain by the running?" We answer, couie and see. Thrift and enterprise are characteristic of the place. Loafing is as foreign to the good people ol the town as enterprise to beautiful old Bed ford. Loyalty was the motto of all who retained positions with ui during the late Rebellion. Johnsoniauism and Dishonor is now the watchword. But wc beg pardon, ye wiseacre Bedforditcs, who manufacture our politics for us. We shall desist until we see you. Politically, we yield, but for thrift and importance weshall continue the competition In giving publicity to our conceived capa bilities we mean no encouragement for fur ther fossilliferous deposits within our limit-. 'Progresses written in unmistakable charac ters and we understand its import. The grasping for wealth is not our only in centive to industry. Liberality, hospi tality, have long since been recogni sed as paramount to all other claim.- f'.ir notoriety. The beautiful and orna mental, are receiving marked attention, ind neighboring towns may well look to their laurels. A soldier's monument, will, we predict, in i very short time grace a town so abundantly worthy. We hear of a fund of several hun- Ired dollar.-, collected for the mouument in Bedford. This amount, (with interest, of sourse) will be refunded to us as there can ,e no demand for its expenditure there. We leduc-e our conclusions from popular opi uion, io report of the projected enterprise has been 'urnished us, nor have we heard of its exig ence. The engrossing topic with us now, is the ■ublioation of a newspaper in our town. I'he advent of the first paper is always an •nt in the history of every growing town. iVe are not printers and shall not venture m opinion until we see the effort for its es ablisbment. But if not too Wood)/ in ap pearance, too bloody in its teachings and :oo bloody in its rates, we hope to be able to rid it God speed. Yours, Ac. Prattleum. —We arc happy to publish anything of in terest sent us by friend "Prattleum," but there are some things iu the above to which wc take exception,—viz: That we— the "Bedfordites"—are'wiseacres' cr 'man nfacture polities" for the "Bloody-Ilun ncrs. We deny this, and would suggest to our friend that it is dangerous policy to at tempt to build up a reputation by abusing that of another. A regard- enterprise we give Bloody Run credit for considerable more of that article than is possessed in Bedford, but think matters will assume a different aspect ere long.—e. Union Republican Stiue Convention. Harrisik iu;, Jan. 24, 1 868. The annual Union Republican State Con vention will meet in the city of Philadelphia on Wednesday the f Ith day of March, 18G8. at ten o'clock, a. ui., to make nominations for Auditor General and Surveyor General, and also to form an Electoral Ticket, and t< choose four Jelezates at large to represent the State in the National Convention to be held at Chicago on the 2Uth of May next foi nomination of candidates for President and V ice President, it being understood that each Congressional District will choose twe delegates to said National Convention. As heretofore, the State Convention wili be composed of .Representative and Senato rial delegates chosen in the usual way, and equal in number to the whole of the Sena tors and Representatives in the General Assembly. By order of the I nion Republican State Committee. F. JORDAN, Chm'n. Geo. W. Hamerslv, f J. Roblev Di nolison. j Secretaries. IHE gran product of California is now ol more value than the yield of gold. During 1847, not less than $12,000,000 worth o flour and wheat were exported from San Francisco, including one hundred and sixty one full cargoes of wheat for Europe. Gkk. Hancock has issued an order, in which he declines to set aside the registration in Texas, on the ground that certain classes had been excluded and others admitted to the registration wrongfully. He will not as sume to revise or correct any action of the Boardß of Registration in matters which, by the_ Reconstruction act, are submitted to their judgment and discretion. This is per fectly right, and shows that the General is not fully demoralized by Johnsou's perfidy and nonsense. THE various reports presented to the Odd Fellows' Grand Lodge of the United States, show that the order in 1867, embraced 2.860 lodges, with 214.561 members, and that dur ing the year there were 35 021 members ini tiated, and 2,164 members died. The receipts for the year were $1,020,111, and of this 629 were paid for charitable purposes, there having been 2,026 bretham, and 8,141 widowed families releived by the lodges, nnd 2,935 members, and 180 widowed families re lieved by the Encampments, which number 697, and have 34.842 members, all of whom, however, arc also members ot the lodges. The Times' Washington special pronounces the statement, said to be supported by the Cabinet, that Grant admitted that he bad agreed to hold on until removed, as totally false. He agreed with the President, that if he (Grant) was removed, Stauton would have to resort to the Courts, but be never promised the President that he would so remain and become a party to the controversy. A sub sequent examination of the law convinced him of the course he must pursue, and fortv eight hours before the Senate acted, he wait ed upon Johnson of his own volition and an nounced his determination.

THE Quebec Legislative Assembly is dis ! cussing the causes of emigration from hat province to the United States, and proposes to prevent the same. THE State of lowa is the only one in the American Union which does not owe a dollar. At least that Is the report which comes from the State itself. TUE Gettysburg Asylum Lottery Associa tion has been undergoing an investigation by a Committee of Congress, and the result proves it to be a great swindle. JUSTICE GRIEU, of the United States Su preme Court, was so feeble that the other day he was taken into the court room on the , shoulders of a negro. THE House Committee ou bunking IMS substantially agreed to a bill authorizing the several State Legislatures to tax the share holders of National banks resident within their respective States. JT is reported on good authority that tlie Emperor has forbidden the publication of Prince Napoleon's pamphlet 011 the subject ! of the Foreign and Domestic Affairs of France. THE Chinese Government hus taken some military steps on the Russian frontier, which the latter Government regards as warlike and offensive. A protest is to be sent forward. THE Huntingdon county Court was brought to an abrupt termination lasi week by the quashing ot the jury by Judge Taylor, owing to an informality in its drawing by the Jury Commissioners. IT is currently rumored that Secretary Me- Culloch hus advised the President to veto the bill suspending the further contraction of the currency. The bill passed both houses by a large majority, and if vetoed, would no doubt be enacted dy the necessary two-thirds vote. THE Kansas Legislature has uiemoralized Congress to prohibit by law the sale of large bodies of land to one person, and asking that the railroad companies owning lands received j from Congress shall be forced to put them into the market. DR. PARKER, of Troy, New York, cut open the windpipe of a horse, removed a piece of tin the animal had gnawed from his manger, and after thus rescuing him from threatened strangulation, sewed htm up again as good us ever. Tin. Legislature of Maine, on Wednesday, chose delegates at large to the Republican National Convention, at Chicago, aud adopt ed a resolution in favor of Gen. ''Grant as the candidate of the party for President. E. B. WASHP.CRJTE, of Illinois, made a per sonal explanation in regard to the statement of a Pittsburg paper that he had dodged voting on the Reconstruction bill that lately passed the House. He stated that he gave his vote in the allirmative 011 that occasion, AT MEMPHIS, during the trial of the man charged with the murder of Mike Cas serall, an altercation to place between the Council. Thomas Maiour, an uncle of the murdered man, was shot through the body and fatally wounded. The court-room was crowded, and it is not known who fired the shot. Coi,. WHITE, who challenged Gen. butler, in Richmond the other day, is a member of the \ irginia Convention, and a local preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He very probably forgot the latter part of his vocation when inditing the hostile summons. THE New Tork Exprtts thinks the bill to be reported to the House, forbidding the Su premo Court to interfere with Reconstruc tion, "the last step toward revolution." The Democrats seem to be bent on having anoth er war, but we think they will be disappointed. A cable despatch announces the death of the distinguished tragedian Charles Jbhu Kean. He was born on the 18th of January, 1811, received an excellent preparatory edu cation, and entered Eton in 1824, remaining there for three years, and distinguishing him self alike in the classes aud in athletic sports. THE latest advices from Alaska are to De cember 28. They mention no suffering among the troops, bat. on the contrary, rep resent them ns all well. The Congressional resolution of inquiry into the reports that the troops are in want of accommodations and provisions, and are suffering from the ex txtreme cold weather, creates surprise there. IT is announced that John 11. Surratc is again to be tried before the Criminal Court at Washington, commencing February 24th. It isa'.so announced that the law officers 0! the Government will order the release of Sur ratt without going into another trial. The latter statement is the more likely to be cor rec'. THE busiest man in Washington is Judge Black, James Buchanan's Attorney General. The whole task of writing vetoes against Con gresr and arguing for rebels in the Supreme Court seems to be devolved upon him. Jerry w ill hardly be able to work up another rebel lion. G EX. W. S. HANCOCK, out of regard to the feelings of the rebels in New Orleans, has decided not to wear his uniform in that city, and for this decision he is commended by the Washington organ of the President as acting wisely, in not irritating the feelings of the Loaisianians.

THE robbery of Mr. Benniughoff, in Ve nango county, has created considerable ex citement in Ihe oil region, and bis losses aie much larger than first reported. Tt appears that the old gentleman did not know exactly the dimensions of his greenback pile. The losses so far as ascertained exceed 8250,000, and it is thought may approximate $350,000 TUE mystery connected with the disappear ance of Capt. E. G. Rehrer, of Tremont, Schuylkill county, in November last, is in a fair way of being unravelled. An Extra of the Tremont A ttr.s, states that' a young man named Samuel Albrighton has made a con fession, in which he says that Capt. Rehrer was murdered by two Irishmen, who have since beeu arrested at Buffalo, N. V. THE Committee on W ays and Means in Congress have had under consideration that part of the new- internal tax bill relating to manufactures. While it is certain that they will recommend a general reduction of man ufacturers' taxes, there is evidently a dispo -1 sition on the part of the committee to keep ' the tax on articles of luxury, such as jewelry, 1 plate, carriages and the like, and also on gas and coal oil. There is a probability that the tax will be removed from the raw cotton. | The bill will not be reported for several weeks to come. _ ——————— ——— i' 11 FOK SA I.E .
