AUDITOR GENERAL:
GEN. JOHN F. lIARTRANFT,
OP MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
SURVEYOR GENERAL:
COL. JACOB M. CAMPBELL,
OF CAMBRIA OOCNTT. j
TIIE VICE I'RESIDESCY.
We have heretofore refrained from any
discussion of the merits of the vsrious can
didates in this State for the nomination of
the Republican National Convention for
Vice President. The course of our delegate
to the State Convention and the persistent
effort of the managers of the Curtin ring
seem to call for a plain statcmct of the
condition of public sentiment in this county.
Our people, with the exception of a few
partisans, have become thoroughly disgus
ted with the Curtin and Cameron fight and
and wish to have nothing furthtr to do with
either faction. As for as the merits of the
two men are concerned they both have
many good qualities and some had ODCS.
We have no ill will toward either of them
except that we think that for their conduct
in sacrificing State and National interests and
devotion to the principles and success of
the party, all to their own desires of person
al preferment and bringing their personal
quarrels into the party to distract and di
vide it they deserve the emphatic rebuke of
the people of the .State. There is no better
way of doing this than by ignoring both
until they learn that while the people have
applauded the services of both in various
offices of honor and trust, they will not brook
being made servile tools for the promotion
of mere personal ambition nor the cats
paws to fight-out personal quarrels and
rivalries.
The Services of Gov. Cuitin during the
war have been fully appreciated and for
them ho has received well merited honor
and praise from our people. All this how
ever has not nor will it buy for him or any
other public favorite immunity from the
stern rebuke of the people when he at
tempts to force himself into position in de
fiance of their expressed will. This seems
to be the character of the effort now making
to compel all the delegates of the state to
cast their votes for Curtin at the Chicago
Convention. It is tru© Curtin got the Ma
jority in the State Convention. llow he
got that majority we do noteertainly know;
it may be an expression of the will of the
majority of the party, but wc are quite
sure that it is not a fair expression in the
recorded vote. We sent a delegate there
instructed first by the uaanimous vote of
two County meetings and afterward by a
three-fourths vote of the County Committee,
to vote for E. M. Stanton as the choice of
Pennsylvania for Vice President, yet he de
liberately voted for Curtin and betrayed his
trust by setting his own will up against the
express and emphatic instruction of the
party. How many more delegates were
guilty of the same faithlessness we don't
pretend to know but there is reasonable
ground for suspecting that there were more
of the same sort in the Convention. We
will heartily support Gov. Curtin if he is
nominated, but we declare emphatically that
lie has not been much less is he now the
choice of Bedford County. Wc wish it dis
tinctly undertood that we are opposed to
putting forward any man who shows a dis
position to override the expressed will of
the people or_who shows any inclination to
sacrifice the credit of the state and the
principles of the party for the sake of mere
}>crsonal preferment.
REDUCTION IN TAXES.
One of the most hopeful features of Con
gressional legislation at present (after the
impeachment) is the disposition to reduce
the load of taxes, laid ii,-a us by Demo
cratic rebellion, as far as the condition of
the National finances will permit. A bill
making large reductions of the taxes on all
domestic manufactures has been under con
sideration for some time and now seems to
be near completion, so that we may expect
its passage at an early day. The immedi
ate result of the passage of the hill will bo
the infusion of increased activity into all the
leading branches of manufacture, bringing
down the prices of all manufactured goods
and giving employment, food and clothing
to thousands who have for months been
idle, suffering and starving. There is no
legislation of the present session likely to
have so beneficial an effect on the general
prosperity of the country and the welfare of
the people. The ability thus to lighten the
burthens of the people has been attained by
the determination of the Republican major
ity to retrench in every branch of public
expenditure. Extraordinary efforts have
been made to obtain increase of pay for va
rious officers and special classes of clerks as
well as the exemption of certain monopolies
from taxation for the benefit of private par
tics or rich corporations, bnt they have thus
far been deservedly unsuccessful. Of this
class the whiskey ring is one of the most
powerful as well as importunate. Efforts
are still being made to have the tax largely
reduced upon whiskey, but we sincerely
hope they may not succeed. There is no
article of manufacture that can hear so
heavy a tax nor that of itself imposes so
heavy a tax on the people, in crime and
poverty. It fills our jails with criminals,
our poor houses with paupers, and occupies
our courts with tedious and costly litigation.
As long as there is an Internal Revenue tax
to be imposed let it be laid heavily on such
articles as this. If they arc taxed out of
existence the country will gain greatly, and
the happiness of our people bo greatly pro
moted. With the contemplated reduction
of taxes and the removal of the stumbling
block in the way of reconstruction, we have
reason to anticipate a speedy restoration of
the whole country to its wouted peace and
prosperity. not our Congressmen and
Senators falter in their good work, nor the
people in their support, until both objects
are fully accomplished. There are many per
plexities and difficulties besettiug these
questions, causing delay in action andrcquir- :
ing long, patient and careful investigation; I
the people often become impatient, and think I
hings move entirely too slowly, but if they '
i will carefully scrutinize the acts of the last
i few sessions of Congress they will find that,
though much time has been takin up in ex
amination and investigation, when a matter
has been thoroughly sifted and a course ot
action determined upon Congress has acted
promptly and energetically. The President
has been the great and almost only obatruc
tion in the two most difficult tasks imposed
; upon our legislators, the reconstruction of
| the lately rebellious States and the collec
tion of the whiskey tax. If be is removed
( both tasks will soon be easily and sucoess
| folly accomplished.
DEMOCRATIC THREATS OF ASSASSINA
TION.—The 'Rev." C. Cbauncey Burr,
editor of the Old Guard, openly advocates
in that magazine the assassination of the
Radical members of Congress as the readiest
way of solving the problem of reconstruction.
'"A hundred men," he says, "of the pluck
and patriotism of YYilkes Booth, at the
start of these teirible despotisms, would
have saved our country," &c. But it is
not yet too late, if the Democratic party
have " the sagacity and pluck to call upon
the people to arm and muster for the salva
tion of the country." The sanguinary ex
clergyman has no doubt of the justice of the
policy he advocates. "The moment any
man begins to play the despot, he forfeits
his right to life. "Just as many days as
these infamous tyrants (Grant, .Sherman,
Schofield, and the Radical members of
Congress;have lived since they began their
despotism, hwrt they lived too lony. lhe

JUDGE YVOODWARD threatens the Na
tional Banks that they shall be blotted out
if they don't throw their influence in favor
of the Copperhead party.
This is amusing. The C'opporheads op
posed the adoption of the whole financial
policy of which the Banks are a part; and
they are its natural enemies, because the
Banks help to keep up the credit of the na
tion. As they were powerless to prevent
the creation of the pystcin, they will be pow
erless to destroy it, for the men who saved
the count, v are the men who are to rule it•
Judge Woodward tried to stop the YVar
by stopping the draft, but the draft went
on, and the YY'ar ended in glorious victory.
He also tried to stop the War by declaring
illegal the greenback currency of the coun
try; but the currency was sustained and the
country by it—The Judge is after a third
victim for his rage, and has selected the
Banks. But they have weathered heavier
storms than he can raise. Gettysburg

THE Bedford and Bridgeport Railroad bill
has passed both Houses and gone to the Gov
ernor for his signature. There is no doubt
whatever that the bill will be speedily sign
ed and become a law. It will then be for
our people to see to it that the road is
made. \Y r e will publish the bill as soon as
wo can obtain a copy. -
GENERAL NEWS ITERS.
Gov. GEARY'S vetoes, thus far have been
approved by the entire Republican press of
the State.
THE whole power of the Democratic party
is bent on the repudiation of the national
debt.
GKS. MEAI>E is managing the affairs of
his Department with satisfaction to all who
have its loyal interests at heart.
No political victory ever had so much po
tential influence for good, as that of the Re
publican triumph in New Hampshire.
THE election in Louisiana on the question
of ratifying the Constitution, will be held on
the 17th and 18th of April.
IT is stated that General Hancock has in
formed the President that he is ready to at
tend to any duty which he may direct him to
discharge.
THE funny man of the Chicago POST re
marks that Mr. Johnson "has attempted
another scriptural character—that of the Del
uge. He wants to reign forty days and forty
nights more."
THE Republicans of Juniata county, by a
majority of 372, have decided in favor of
adopting the Crawford county system in
nominating candidates for office.
THERE will be a Convention held in Chicago
on the l'.'th of May next, composed of so);
dicrß and sailors ot the late war, to place
in nomination candidates for the offices of
President and Vice President.
THE Democratic candidate for City Attor
ney, in Utica, N. Y. at the recent local elec
tion. was a soldier in the rebel army. He
was elected— Utica being a Copperhead city.
His opponent was in the Union army.
IT is stated that a bill extending lor one
year the operation of the voluntary feature of
the Bankrupt law, without the fifty per cent
restriction as it now stands in the thirty third
section, has been agreed npon in the House
Committee, and is expected to be adopted in
both Houses.
THE English people who bought Con
federate securities are very anxious that the
United States should acknowledge and pay
• the same. The face of these bonds declare
they are only to be paid when the Confed
eracy is established. Let the Britishers wait.
DOOLITTLE, Montgomery Blair, If. Clay
Dean and Chauncey Burr have promised to
stump Connecticut for the Democrats. Judg
ing by their efforts on New Hampshire, we
are glad of it, and when they have done their
work in Connecticut, we want them by all
means to come to Pennsylvania.
SOUTHERN papers state that the advance in
price of cotton has had a most invigorating
influence upon business in that section. All
will rejoice to learn this fact. In connection
with this, it gives us pleasure to state that
business is rapidly reviving in this city, and
tho prospect of a good though late spring
trade is very flattering.
THE President having vetoed the bill to
prevent appeals on habeas aorpus to the Su
preme Court, the Senate passed it over his
head, on Thursday, by a full party vote— four
to one. The House did the same yesterday,
so that it is now a law. This disposes of the
McArdle case, and prevents any interference
of the Supreme Court during the trial of the
President.
Tni: Political campaign in Connecticut is
very animated. Immense meetings oa both
sides are held nightly in the several towns of
the State. Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, is
doing yeoman's service in the good cause.
The election will take place the first week in
April. The vote, it is thought, will be very
close.
REV. STEPHEN H. TYSG, JR., has addressed
a letter to Bishop Potter earnestly protesting
against the result of the proceedings in his
case, and appealing from the "nnjust present
ment oppressive rulings, predetermined de
cision and insinuating censure." He announ
ces that after Lent he will present a review of
the whole proceedings to the public and to
the Bishop.
JUDGE BLACK, who despaired of the Re-
I public in 1861. now announces that it "may
last a year and a day from the third of March,
but not a day longer." If our statesmen will
; abandon tbeir reason and argument to go ia
j to fortune-telling business, we prefer the
j cheerful ninety-day prophecies of Mr. Sew
| ard to the dyspeptic forebodings of the de
feated and disappointed Pennsylvanian.
AT the recent annual town meeting held at
Northampton, Mass., two negroes, bv public
vote, were placed on the jury list. One of
them is a son of a Maryland ex-slave, whose
father took an early liking to a more North
em latitude; and the other was a slave five
years ago, who at that time could not read
nor write, but has since become tolerably
proficient in the Eugliah branches.
LIBEL suits are no longer profitable literga
tion, as the Slate Guard says. Judges and
juries imbued with common sense, begin to
recognize the fact that without the outspoken
independent action of the press, rascals can
not be uncovered preparatory to being
brought to justice. Hence it is that in differ
ent courts of the country, by a singular coin
cidence, many prosecutors for libel are being
non-suited.
THE House of Representatives of Mas
sachusetts has passed to a third reading a bill
which forbids for three years the taking or
shooting cf quails, partridges, woodcock and
snipe under a penalty of five dollars for each
offence. Any person having a dead bird of
that kind in his possession will be fined five
dollars and costs for each bird, providing be
cannot show that it came from another
state.
MIL BLACK says some parts of the various
published statements why he declined to act
as one of the counsel for the President, arc
mere speculations. The reason why he re
lused to be retained was, it was impossible
for him to defend the President if the Presi
dent sustained the Secretary ot State in the
Aha Vela case, and he was well satisfied
the President did sustain the position of
Seward.
THE State Historian at Harriaburg a
short time ago sent a circular aronnd to the
officers of the different Pennsylvania regiments
which have seeu service in the late war, re
questing them to furnish him with all im
portant dates, facts and incidents connected
with their military record. His object, of
course, is to enable him to prepare, an
accurate history of "Pennsylvania in the
War," as Ohio and some other States have
already done. b
THE friends of Col. Dan llice have issued
a long address to the delegates to the Demo
cratic National Convention, which they are
spreading broadcast over the country. It re
cites the causes which have enabled the Re
publicans to retain power for so long a period,
argues that none of the candidates named for
the Democratic nomination can be successful,
and arrives at the stunning conclusion that
Dan Rice is the only inan whose name can j
lead the party on to victory.
GEN. BUCHANAN has issued an order for |
an election in Louisiana for members of the j
House of Representatives of the United !
States, and such State, Judicial, parish and i
municipal officers as provided for by the eon- i
stitution to be submitted. This electiou is to !
be in all respects part of the election hereto- 1
fore ordered in special orders of March lltb, ;
subject only to such modifications as may be i
required by act of Congress, under which it
is ordered; that ballots for or against the con- !
stitution shall have on them the names of the
several officers voted for, and returns of elec- I
tions shall be made to the commanding Gen- j
eral.
RHODE ISLAND, which elects every year a
Governor on the first YY'ednesday in April, J
' will afford the next skirmish ground of this j
campaign. This year the first Wednesday is ;
the first day of April, and accordingly this
1 week we shall chronicle another sweeping
Union victory. Last year the vote for
Governor stood • Republican. 7,372; Derno
• crat, 3,178. In 1804, a Presidential election,
• the vote brought out was : For Lincoln, 18,-
092; for McClellan, 8,470. As Major General
Burnside again heads the Republican ticket
' this year, there is no reason to believe that
i the vote will materially differ from that of
1800 and 1807.
