AN INSTRUCTIVE TEXT.
"Equal taxation of every species of prop
erty according to its real value, including
government bonds, and other public secu
rities."
So reads the fourth section or plank of
the Democratic platform. "EVERY SPE
CIES OF PROPERTY" includes houses, lands,
cattle, horses, poultry and pigs, every thing
in short that represents any pecuniary
value. Let us sec how this would apply to
Bedford County. The valuation of lands in
Bedford county in 18C0was $1,139,069.00
and our State tax for the year ending Bee.
1, 1867, $3,i77,34. Since then the tax has
been entirely abolished by a Republican
Legislature. Incomes over SIOOO, by the
Internal Revenue laws are taxed 5 per cent.
Now under this Democratic EQUAL TAXA
TION platform the FARMERS of Bedford
County would have the pleasure of paying
the neat little sum of $56,953.45 of govern
ment taxes on their lands. What say you
to that farmers of Bedford County ? llow
would you relish a DEMOCRATIC 5 PER CENT
TAX on the valuation of every foot of your
land? But this would not be all. Every j
species of property, the platform reads.
This includes all your personal property of
every kind. The widow's cow and the poor
man's pig must also pay this Democratic 5
per cent tax. And all that the faith of the
government may be broken and her debts
dishonestly taxed, And how many bonds
in Bedford County would be taxed? The
tax of one year on the farmers of Bedford
County would amount to more than all the
bonds held in the county. Besides of the
few bonds held in the county the larger por
tion wou.d be found in the hands of our
comfortable old farmers and they would find
their lands and bonds both taxed at the
same time. Don t the whole Democratic
cry of Equal Taxation look very much
like a rebel swindle? Wouldn't $57,000,00
a year be a pretty big price to pay for such
a whistle? ho wants this I ' Equal Taxa
tion ' scheme put in operation ? Does the
farmer ?. Does the laboring man ? Does
the poor man who has already hard work
to feed and clothe his family? Who wants
to see the tax-gatherer tolling the widows
basket of meal, or exacting the 5 per cent
tax on the poor man's cow and pig and his
house and garden ? hoever does has only
to vote for Seymour arid Blair and if elect
ed they will surely bring about this delight
ful condition of things. It is in the plat
form to which they are pledged and all their
speeches are advocating it. If you don't
relish a 5 per cent annual tax on every spe
cies of property in your possession by all
means vote for Grant and Colfax, Hartranft
and Campbell and the name of the tax
gatherer will soon be forgotton in the land.
QUEER I'FTOOE.
The Gazette of last week publishes a doc
ument over the signature of the rebel Ould,
to prove Grant responsible for all the bar
barian atrocities of Andcrsonville. By the
same kind of witnesses they might prove
that the rebels were all entirely innocent of
rebellion or anything else out of the way.
Jeff. Davis, Tombs, Cobb and a score of
others we have no doubt would willingly
testify, for the use of the Gazette , that the
war was cruelly and wickedly made by the
North. M ilkes Booth would doubtless
have testified that Lincoln was responsible
for his own murder. Wirz the murderer of
the Andcrsonville prisoners would no doubt
ike Ould have been willing to swear that
some loyal man or Union General caused
! °f l he prisoners under his charge.
euera. Lee would no doubt also testify' that
the war was all the fault of the Union men
< t e country. Such witnesses can be had
by thousands anywhere in rebeldom. The
Gazette s rebel witnesses are scarcely worth
as much as the rebel speakers brought here
some time ago, to instruct the Democracy
of Bedford County in their duties. Rebel
authority don't go very far even with the
Democracy. Can't die Gazette capture a
lot more Oi the same stripe? In default of
anything better they will do, but it must be
hard up for either proof or argument. '
Bring along a few more rebels. They are
about all you have and they won't be of
much service after the election. The "Boys
in Blue - ' will give them their quietus.

TAXATION.
The Democrats throughout this cam
paign have been making a great outcry
about the taxes which they say the people
have to pay. We wish the taxpayers to
understand the position which the Demo
cratic party occupies in regard to the ques
tion of taxat ion and we ask the attention of
men of all parties to a few undeniable facts.
The 4th plank in the platform of princi
ples adopted by the Democratic National
Convention which met at New York on
the 4th of July last reads thus:
" Fourth. Equal taxation of every specie
"of property according to its real value
" including Government bonds and other
"public securities."
In the Bedford Gazette issued by Mey
ers & Mengle on the 14th of August last,
near the top of the second column ®f the
second page they say*. "We are for equal
taxation upon all species of property" —and
in the Gazette of the same date in the third
column of the second page they tell us
what they mean by equal taxation. They
say; "'By equal taxation the Democrats
'* mean that they will tax every citizen ac
" cording to the value of his property inclu
" ding the wealthy and arristocratic bond
holder" —
Nor if any man thinks that we have
misquoted we hope that he will get the
Democratic platform and the Gazette of the
I4th of August last and read and judge for
himself. We have copied the exact lan
guage of the platform and of the editors of
theJGazette and we ask most earnestly ask
every one of our taxpaying citizens to pon
der well this subject of taxation. Farmers!
Mechanics ! workingmen ! do _you want to
pay more taxes than what you have to pay
now ? In the name of common sense do
you not pay enough already ? If you wish
farmers, to have your farms, your horses,
your cows, your crops "every species of your
property " taxed, vote the Democratic ticket
andyou will be gratified, for the Democratic
party says it is for "equal taxation of every
species of property according to its real
value." Do you, 'workingmen and me
chanics, desire to have your homes, your
little all taxed ? If you do, vote the Demo
cratic ticket from Seymour down and you
will attain what you desire, for "by equal
taxation the Democrats mean that they will
tax every eitizen according to the value of
his property."—
Fellow citizens! no matter what your em
ployment or business may be, we entreat
you to reflect upon this subject. We do not
want any more burdens in the shape of taxes.
What say you ?
HEAD ! HEAD !! READ Ml
Who did it?
Who made the interest of the Five-Twenty
bonds payable in coin? Yes who did it?
Democrats. Why did they do it? In the
hope of crippling the government in its
efforts to put down an iniquitous and wicked
rebellion. Who cry out against this same
payment in coin now and try to throw the
blame on the Republican party? Democrats.
" Gold for the bond holders, rags for the
ymoj nutavn cry these same Democrats
now but never hint that they themselves
have done it. YES DEMOCRATS MADE THE
NATION PAY GOLD TO THE BONDHOLDERS
while it could only pay, rags or greenbacks
to the plow-holders. PLOW-HOLDERS,
READ AND REFLECT. Here are the names
and the figures. Of the 98 Republicans
who voted on the bill, 55 voted for paying

CONVENTION OF "BOYS IN BLUE"—
There will be a National Mass Convention
of "Boys in Blue" held in Philadelphia on
the Ist and 2d of October next. A delega
tion of "Boys in Blue" is expected from
every county. The following orders have
been issued with regard to transportation.
All Soldiers and Sailors in organized
bodies, or by squads of not less than three,
and their wives and families, will be carried
to Philadelphia from all points along the
Pennsylvania Central and Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad and their branches, at two
cents per mile, and return Free of charge.
The Tickets will be issued at the different
Railroad Stations along the line on Septem
ber 29 and 30, and October 1, and will be
good to return on October 3, 4 and 5.
Officers of Clubs, will confer with Ticket
Agents as to the probable number who will
take passage at each station.
Let there be a good delegation from Bed
ford County.
CROWED TOO SOON.— The only consola
tion the Democracy have had since the
Kentucky election has been the hope of
electing a delegate from Colorado territory.
Over this they crowed right lnstily, but alas!
the latest news has cut off this last ray of
Lope. Vermont was bad, very bad ! Maine
was worse, decidedly worse, and now even a
delegate from Colorado is denied them which
is worst of all, for it was a downright sell.
The latest news gives the Republicans the
delegate by from 60 to 100 majority. What
a pity Wallace wasn't on hand with the
coffee-pot brigade
THE DEBATES.
The debates between Kimmell and Cessna
the rival candidates for Congress, at Schells
burg and Blocdy Run on Friday and
Saturday last were not as largely attended
as was generally expected. The bad weather
of the week or two previous had thrown the
farming community back with their fall
work and the weather being fair large
numbers who would have attended the
debates were kept at home. The attend
ance at both places however was respectable.
The debates passed off pleasantly and to
the apparent satisfaction of both parties.
Hon. F. M. Kimmell opened the debate at
Schellsburg and Hon. John Cessna at
Bloody Run. The speeches were both able
and characteristic of the men each, excelling
in his own peculiar sphere. Judge Kim
mell's was characterized by his usual bland
ness of speech and sophistry in argument.
The Judge is well skilled in the art of
making the worse appear the better reason,
but the people have learned "his tricks and
his manners'' and know how to detect his
sophistry. He may cry "taxes ! taxes 1 !
taxes !!! and debt! debt!! debt!!! " but
the people know who brought upon them
both the debt and the taxes. They will re
member the past, while they act in the
present and for the future.
Mr. Cessna's speeches were in his usual
telling, sledge-hammer style, exposing the
Judge's sophistry and showing up the hypo
critical professions of Democratic platforms
and leaders so conclusively that no one could
be left in doubt. He poured a perfect tor
rent of hot shot into the ranks of the Demo
cracy showing their past sympathy with
treason and their present alliance with rebels,
and warning the people of the dire conse
quences that would inevitably befall the
country in the event of the success of Sey
mour and Blair. While we believe but little
is gained by either party in these debates,
the advantage in this case has been decidedly
with the Republicans.
The best feature of the contest appeared
oil the last day at Bloody Ilun, where, after
the debate, the Republicans held a large and
enthusiastic meeting which was ably address
ed by M. A. Points Esq, and Capt. G. W.
Z. Black. The Republicans of Bloody Run
are wide awake and their verdict on the
merits of the debate will be handed in at the
polls in no doubtful shape.
THE WHITE BOYS IN GREY.
For, whom will Robert E. Leo vote? For
Seymour and Blair. For whom will Wade
Hampton vote? For Seymour and Blair.
For whom will General Beauregard vote?
For Seymour and Blair. For whom will
General Wise vote? For Seymour and
Blair. For whom will General MeCauslin
vote? For Seymour and Blair. For whom
will General Ewell vote? For Seymour and
Blair. For whom will General Early vote?
For Seymour and Blair. For whom will
John 11. Surratt vote ? For Seymour and
Blair. For whom would the murderer
Wirz vote if he were living ? For Seymour
and Blair. For whom would the assassin
Booth vote if he were living ? For Sey
mour and Blair. For whom would Jeff.
Davis vote if he were permitted ? For Sey
n'ju' an J Blair, Flu wiiotu would every
unrepentant rebel General and officer of the
late rebel confederacy vote if he were allow
ed a vote ? For Seymour and Blair. For
whom will every sympathizer with the re
bellion vote ? For Seymour and Blair. For
whom will every draft skeedaddler vote ?
For Seymour and Blair. Now all the above
named distinguished individuals will not
vote, for some are dead and others disfran
chised for various crimes, but every man,
woman and child knows how they would
vote if they had the opportunity. Why
would they all vote for Seymour and Blair?
Simply because they believe the cause of
the rebellion would once more be revived by
the election of Seymour and Blair. Who
that loves his country, when he sees her en
emies all on one side, will not without a
moments hesitation take the other? When
every unrepentant rebel, assassin and mur
derer votes for Seymour and Blair, no good
and true man who loves his country need
have the slightest doubt but that his duty
is to vote for Grant, Colfax and PEACE.
LOOK TO THE ASSESMENTS.— Se that
every Republican is promptly assessed. Let
no time be lost. Examine the whole iist of
voters for your township or borough and
see that every name is on the assessment
list at least ten days before the election.
Let it all be done by F'riday evening the 2d
of October. The 3d Is the very last but let
not such important work be left to the
eleventh hour. To work promptly and
diligently and the very strongholds of De
mocracy will be captured. Even Bedford
county may be brought into line by diligence
and energy.
LOOK OUT FOR CARPET-BAGOERS. Not
from Canada but from Maryland. A scheme
is on foot to import voters into the Southern
counties of Pennsylvania in order to carry
the October elections. Coffee colored nat
uralization papers will not be wanting, and
must be looked after, but they are not the
sole reliance of the Democracy. Rebels
from Maryland are to be brought over into
all our Southern counties. Let the move
ments of all such parties be carefully watch
ed and wherever they are found let the offi
cers of the law be promptly put upon their
tracks. See that they are not permitted to
vote.
THE news from Maine is growing better.
Full returns have not yet been received but
the latest estimates put the majority at
about twenty-three thousand.
THIS is the season of others in which this
Bitters, now so renowned, is found so bene
ficial. Added to the ingredients which,
make this Bitters both dietetic and tonic,
are the qualities which invigorate the
debilitated system, remove languor and
depression, restore the appetite, and impart
a healthy action to all the functions of the
body. The mother and houskeeper should
never be without it, and the traveller who
packs his trunk or portmanteau for the
Springs, should class among the necessary
articles a few bottles of Hoofland's German
Bitters. He will find it an invaluable
medicine in the hour of transient derange
ment of the system, which is likely to befall
any one in this climate, and especially dur
ing the Summer season. It is pure, free
from all intoxicating liquors, and for that
reason the most strictly temperate need not
hesitate to use it, personally, or in their
families. — Richmond Examiner.
_ Hoofland's German Tonic is a combina
tion af all the ingredients of the Bitters,
with Pure Santa Cruz Rum, orange, anise,
&c. It is used for the same diseases as the
Bitters, in cases where some Alcoholic
Stimulent is required. It is a preparation
of rare value, and most agreeable to the pal
ate.

Very Respectfully Vpirs.

Att'y for Comnfesioners.
BEDFORD, Sept. 22th, 868.
Dtar Sir. —A very careful expiination
of the Act of Assembly to which yju refer,
has led me to the conclusion that she taxes
imposed by the assessor in makingdie extra
assessments mentioned in the T2tt section
must be paid to the Constables of'be differ
ent townships, who have been qo|ified as
provided by law to receive the spie. and
when they have net been so uualiiki, to the
collectors appointed by the Comnissioners,
under the authority conferred uton them
by the Bth section of the Act.
The 12th section seems to be a special
provision to enable the electors of the Com
monwealth to qualify themselves to vote tt
the October election, and to affoid then:
every facility for doing so. The word "'co!
lector" in this section cannot mean the
Treasurer, or the Justice ot tho Peace that
is furnished with the schedule of unpaid
taxes, as provided in the 3rd section. Their
duty is to receive the taxes tendered by tax
payers, and not to collect or father the taxes.
This duty devolves upon the corn-table, or
the collector appointed, where there is no
constable qualified to act.
The provision that the assessor shall cer
tify the names of the persons assessed, with
the amount of taxes imposed, to the consta
bles or collectors, is too plain to be misap
prehended. If the Legislature intended
that this certificate should have been madr
either to the Treasurer or a Justice of thf
Peace, as has been contended, it would haw
been so stated in the Act, No inferene
is to be drawn from the fact that tie
constables have nothing to do with tit
unpaid taxes certified to the Justice d
the Peace, as the 12th section express!)
gives the collection of these ten day taxes t
the constables, and if to the constables, why
not to the collectors who are merely substi
tuted for constables refusing to perform the
duties, or neglecting to qualify themselves
by giving security, as required by the Bth
section, on or before the 3rd Monday iu Sep
tember. Yours Truly, i

CONGRESS IN SESSION.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. —The Senate was
called to order at 12 o'clock. • 1
The Rev. Dr. Gray, Chaplain, in the
course of his prayer, invoked the wisdom
and grace needful to support the members :
in their public duties, so that whatever j
course tliey pursued, it may meet the divine
approval and the sanction of the whole na- j
tion.
The clerk commenced, reading the Jour
nal, but on motion of Mr. Edmunds, the
further reading was dispensed with.
Mr. Anthony offered the following resolu
tion :
Resolvedly the Senate (the House ofßep
resentatives concurring), That the President
of the Senate and the Speaker of the House
of Representatives adjourn their respective
Houses until 12 o'clock noon of the 16th day
of October, IS6&, and that they then, unless
otherwise ordered, by the. two
further adjourn their respective Ileuses un
til the 10th day of Novembet, 1868, at 12
o'clock noon; and that they thuu. unless
otherwise ordered by the two Houses,
further adjourn their respective Houses un
til the first Monday in December, 1868, at
12 o'clock noon.
On motion of Mr. Sherman there was a
call of the Senate, when thirty four members
answered to their names—exactly a quorum.
Mr. Anthony stated that his colleague was
not present, owing to sickness.
The question was taken on tho adoption
of the resolution which was agreed to —yeas,

that, unless otherwise ordered, till the first
Monday in December. He called the pre
vious question, which was sustained and the
resolution passed without a division.

Shooting Affray in Franklin County.
GREENCASTLE, Pa., Sept. 20. Last
night the Democrates held a meeting at
Greencastle, and the Republicans at
Waynesboro, in Franklin county. On re
turning from the meeting at Waynesboro,
the Republicans encountered some ten or
twelve Democrats returning on horseback
from the Greencastle meeting. As the
Democrats passed along the line of wagons
filled with Republicans, the former employed
their time in striking at the lighted torches
carried by tho latter, and otherwise acting
in such a manner as to create a fear with
many that they would be injured. Finally
the Democrats surrounded aud attacked a
carriage containing four Republicans, when
George, Benner, in the carriage, fired a
pistol instantly killing a young man named
Lecknor, residing near Waynesboro.
England and the Pacific Railroad.
The importance of the Pacific Railroad to
the commerce of the world and the spread
of American power is beginning to penetrate
the English mind, and is exciting something
like a feeling of rivalry. The subject was
brought under discussion a few days ago in
the Geographical Section of the Brittish
Scientific Association by the reading of a
paper on an "Overland Route through
British territory from the Atlantic to the
Pacific." The anthor of the paper urged
that, if England did not stir in the matter,
the Pacific Railroad, now on the point of
being completed, would throw the carrying
trade between the East and Europe entirely
into the hands of the United States. He
therefore proposed the building of a railway
wholly through British territory, and esti
mated the gold cost of it at $135,000,000.
Upon the point of cost he said:
"We shall be told that such an autlay is
far too great to be thought of. But what
we ha7e to consider is not merely the
amount, hut the object to be attained, and
whether that is commensurate with the out
lay. If the commercial supremacy of Eng
land is at stake—and that has been pretty
clearly shown—what are seven and twenty
millions compared with the sad downfall
which must inevitably follow such a loss
and the decay and ruin of our country?
Never, was so large a sum of money more
usefully, more wisely applied; and in vain
might we ramsack the history ofour national
debt to find a parallel."
POLITICAL ITEMS.
"VOTE only for such men as were loyal to
their coutry in 1861."— General Grant.
GRANT'S election to the presidency will
furnish another convicing proof that "Repub
lics Rre not ungrateful. '
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio, Indiana and Nebras
ka hold their State elections on October 18.
West Virginia on October 25, and lowa and
California on Novembers.
DURING the rebellion Seymour preferred
slavery to bis country. The rebellion crush
ed, and slavery dead, the country has no need
of Seymour.
WADE HAMPTON says the workingmen of
the South must vote the Democratic ticket or
starve. There's the crack of the old slave
driver's whip for you. Do you hear it, work
ingmen of the North?
GEN. GRANT subdued secession. It now
says that if it can defeat General Grant, it
nevertheless has triumphed. But General
Grant never has been defeated, and the
people will see to it that he never will be.
AMONG the many puns on tho name of the
Democratic candidate, which may be classed
as passible, bad and indifferent, is the follow
ing. embodied in a toast lor the Democratic
barbacue: "Here's to the old Democratic
hulk; she needs but one sea more to sink her."
THE Irish Republic says with eminent good
sense: "Irishmen, in American politics,
must work from the American standpoint,
and remember that it is their citizenship that
entitles them to vote and shout, and not the
fact of their being born in Ireland."
BEAR in mind that, except General Grant
had conqured the rebellion, there had been
no United States, and no President of the
United States to elect. The office belongs to
Grunt, therefore, on principals of commonest
gratitude.
IT is impossible to chronicle all the outrages
of the Ku Kiux at the South. Our Southern
exchanges are full of them. If Seymour and
Blair are elected, the South will be as unsafe
for Union men as it was at Rny time during
the war. A year or two of that sort of
civilization will make a Dahomy of it.

SUPPORTERS of Grant —Sherman, Sheridan,
Thomas, Meade, Farragut, and eight out of
ten other loyal officers and men who fought
under the stars and stripes during the re
bellion. Supporters of Seymour—Beaure
gard, Forrest, Hampton, Semmes, Toombs,
aud nine-tenths of the rebels who fought
under the stars and bars. This fact needs no
comment.
THE Louisville Journal sounds the long
roll, and says: "Democrats, stand to the
polls. If that will not do, stand to your guns!"
and the spirit of these words breathes throgh
mad speech and raving editorial from the
Ohio to the Gulf. The only hope of quench
ing these flames is by smothering them under
the overwhelming ballots cast for Grant, Col
fax, and Peace.
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS closes a political
letter eloquently and impressively as follows:
May God give the country grace to lift up
1 its eyes to behold the bloody years from
Sumter to Appomattox, to reflect who and
what made those years, then to move forward
to bring the rebellion at the polls, as it has
already brought it in the field, to an "uncondi
tional surrender."
A FEW days ago the Hartford Times pro
fessed authority to aunounce that Orville L.
Grant, brother of General Grant, bad declared
bis intention to vote for Seymour. The
Evening Post, ot Hartford, on Saturday ex
tracts from a letter of O. L. Grant, pronounc
ing the statement false in every particular.
Mr. Grant says he is strong in the Republican
faith, always has been, and always intends to
be.
THE man that to!d Noah there "wouldn't
be much of a shower" when the great deluge
overtook him in his sinful days, must have
been an original Cop. With only three eyes
and ears sticking out above the surging Re
publican tide they gulp out the same defiant
prediction. The antediluvian Cop went down
nevertheless, and was never heard of after
wards, aud so will the Cops of the presen
day.
A RICHMOND correspondent of the Boston
Traveller, writes: "If yon fail to elect Gen.
Grant, you may prepare to receive largely of
the negro population. It will be impossible
for them to live here in peace. I have already
been told if Seymour is elected I will have to
leave Richmond. Loyal men have not been
so badly used since the war as now."
A CORRESPONDENT, writing to theN. Y. Tri
bunt from Niagara Falls, says : "You may be
interested to hear that in our town, which
polls about 500 votes, there were over 60
voters who intended to vote for Mr. Chase
had he been nominated by the New York
Convention, but have decided to vote for
Grant and Colfax since the nomination of
Seymour. Quite a number of them were War
Democrats. They will not touch anything
tinged with copper."
AMONG the many good hits made by the
Hartford Post, the following is the latest and
best: "The great 'reaction' so often referred
to by our Democratic orators, and which was
to have been illustrated by the falling off of
Republican majorities in the late election in
Vermont, proved somewhat like the cannon
which was exhibited before a military com
mittee at Washington, by its inventon—a
very sanguine old man. From its peculiar
construction, it was objected to by the com
mittee as likely to 'recoil' badly when fired.
'Oh. no. getlemen, said the old man, 'not so;
if anything it recoils a leetle ahead.' "
GEN. GEO. H. THOMAS, the honored lead
er of the army of the Cumberland, thus de
clares for grant in a letter addressed to Hon.
John Coburn, who in war times cammanded a
division of the Fourteenth Corps, and who
now writes to bis old chieftain, inviting him
to attend a Republican mass meeting at Indi
anapolis. He boldly and frankly says:
"Though I take no part in politics, permit
me to express the great pleasure I have de
rived from observing the firm and almost
universal support offered by the soldiers and
sailors throughout the country to all measures
calculated to restore it to a condition of
peace and quiet."
TENNESSEE doesn't do as well in the way of
murder as either Texas or Louisiana. But it
can show some proofs of pacification. There
were one hundred and sixty one murders in
that State for the year ending last July. Of
these victims 8-5 were white. 57 colored, and
19 were unknown. East Tennessee, being
loyal, had but 1; Middle Tennessee, more
mixed, had 51, and West Tennessee, where
Forrest is at home and the rebel faction is
strong, had 97 murders. We can't classify
the murdered into loyalists and rebels, but it
is pretty safe to allow one hundred and fifty
five for the former. The half dozen left are
easily accounted for by family differences and
"accidents." "Let us have peace."
WHEN a good old Democrat like Reverdy
Johnson gets into the presence of a British
audience, it is refreshing to see what a patri
otic Republican he becomes. Thus, he is re
ported as saying to a number of Englishmen
at a dinner in Sheffield :
"The war had this compensation: it ended
Slavery. None now but freemen tread the soil
of America, and history will say that blood
was well spent in erasing this blot, transmit
ted from a common ancestry, tarnishing our
fame and belying the Declaration on In
dependence."
All ot which we highly approve. We don't
think that Iteverdy could pronounce senti
ments more in harmony with the Republican
party if he tried.
THE State Guard puts the recent patriotic
action of Gen. J. B. SWKITZBR in a very
forcible and just light, as follows :
We doubt if any political campaign ever
exhibited a grander spectacle than that pre
sented in the attitude of this bold and truth-
Jul soldier. He has carefully considered the
situation. He has put into one side of the
scales his Democracy and in the other his
country, and finds that the latter is worth the
moat, and therefore does not hesitate to re
nounce the former. He has tested, in the
most thorough manner, the honesty of the
leaders of the Democratic party and says that
they are not true to the peace of the country,
and therefore he at once repudiates them to
espouse the cause of the Republican can
didate? whom he knows to be faithful in all
things relating to national peace, honor and
prosperity. After Gen. Sweitzer's declaration
in favor of General Grant, no soldier with the
self-respect of a man can vote for Horatio
Seymour.
GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.
THK Detroit Brewers have lately been chea
ting their customers by fitting pine blocks to
the bottom of their beer kegs, making a dif
ference of nearly a gallon per keg. The
saloon-keepers have becometboroughly arons
over by the discovery, and a full investigation
will be made.
A MAN who made an exhibition of perform

ly complained of and taken before the courts
lor endangering the lives of citizens, lie took
his animals into the court and proved to the
judge that they were not dangerous, as they
happened to be boys disguised in bear skins.
THK bricklayers of New York have sent a
committee to visit the different cities of the
United States to lay before the trade organi
zations the true position of afiairs in refer
ence to the strike and to request aid. The
report of these committees is said to be
very encouraging, and the sympathy of the
mechanics all over the country is enlisted in
the eight-hour movement.
THE Sea Island cotton crop for this season
is represented by the Charleston papers as a
total failure. They say that although the
crop is more advanced this year than last,
the catterpillar is three weeks earlier. In
reference to this insect, it is stated that they
are sweeping the entire east coast of Florida,
and are pervading every island on the coast
of South Carolina, and devouring the crops
along the whole line of the Savannah and
Charleston Railroad.
SPEAKER COLFAX is reported to be engaged
to be married to Miss Nellie Wade, a niece
of Senator Wade of Ohio. Bhe is described
as a sweet, sensible, accomplished lady of
thirty years, an Ohio farmer's daughter,
quite worthy the place she has won in the
heart of the second man in public lite in the
natioß, and of the position by his side in
home and in society she is destined soon to
take.
IN BERLIN, the capital of Prussia, there
are now sixty-one political, social and official
papers; one hundred and thirty-seven news,
scientific, religious, art and entertaining jour
nals, and fifty three agricultural, commercial,
industrial aud advertising papers. At the
end of the reign of Frederick the Great, in
the year 1785, there were only one daily pa
per, two tri weekly, two weekly, and one
monthly.
AT Nantucket common conversation is in a
sea lingo. Boys in the street never throw a
stone; they heave it. People out walking or
driving are "gone on a cruise." They don't
stoj) or rest; they lay by. A place is not so
many rods, but so many ship lengths away.
Clothing and knick-knacks generally are
tackle and rigging. To go from side to side,
or from room to room, is to gam. They put
things aft , they stow them away or haul them
over; they shew a light, and every inau is a
captain.
THE OLDEST PRINTER.—The Palmyra
(Missouri) Courier says that, the oldest prin
ter in the United States lives in that village,
and claims the honor of Colonel James M.
Stoddard, who was born in Croton., Ct, Jan
uary 31, 1784. He began to learn the prin
ting art iu the tenth year of his age, 1794,
with Col. Samuel Green, in the office of the
Connecticut Gazette, at New London, where
he continued bis apprenticeship for about
three and a half years, when he emigrated
with his father's family to western New York.
A QUEER FJSH. —The Calais (Me.) Adver
tiser describes a monster fish recently caught
near Eastport. It is thirty three feet in length
and abont ten feet trom the tip of one lin to
the tip of the other across the back. About
ten feet from the tail are two powerful legs,
about three feet in length, with feet which
resembles those of an elephant, and enable
it to navigage the flats and shoal-waters along
shore in 'quest ot food, as it undoubtedly lives
on marine herbage. It baa three rows of
teeth, which look like so many rows of rice
on end. Its name is given as the "shark
dog-fish."
DEATH 07 ANOTHER CONGRESSMAN. —The
Hon. Darwin A. Finney, Member of Congress
from the Crawford district, died in the city of
Brussels, Belgium, on the 25th of August,
lie was elected to Congress in 1860, and
occupied his seat but a tew months owing to
the State of his health. He left Washington
to go to Europe to recuperate, and it was
thought that he bad been greatly benefitted
by his travel, until the sad intelligence of
his death was received. He was a few years
ago a member of the State Senate from the
Crawford district. He was a man of talent,
highly esteemed and an ardent Republican.
MB. GEORGE W. CHII.DS. of the Philadelphia
Ledger, who has won, by many good actions,
the name of being one ofthemost benevolent,
as he is also one of the most enterprising and
sagacious of Philadelphia business men, not
long ago presented to persons employed in
responsible positions in the Ledger office, life
insurance policies amounting in the aggregate
to s4o,ooo—undertaking at the same time to
pay the premium—about $3,000 per annum,
for ten years, at the expiration of which time
the policies become, by their terms, self
paying. Mr. Childs goes to Europe next
month with his wife, on a tour in search of
rest and health.
OLD FASHIONED WHEAT CHOPS. —The
| farmers in the vicinity of Rochester, New
York, who are now in the bight of wheat
thrashing, report some very large yields. A
few farmers in Bergen and Byron have raised
crops that average forty bushels per acre, and
a large number in Genesee and the western
part of Monroe have realized thirty-five
bushels per acre. The largest yields from
selected fields that we have heard of are five
hundred and fifty-two bushels from twelve
acres, raised by Ed. Emmeus, of Riga, and
two huudred and four bushels from four and
one -half acres, raised by Pitt Squires, of Chili.
In quantity per acre the Genesee wheat
section is returning to its old standard; but it
is doubtful whether it will do so in puint of
quality.
A NEW YORK correspondent writing on
Thursday evening, the 17th inst says; "VV'e
are having a genuine foretaste of winter,
which makes fires and overcoats indispensa
ble, and affords the coal dealers a plausible
pretext for putting up the price of their
merchandise a peg or iwo. Passengers down
the Hudson River and New Haven roads, this
morning report quite a heavy frost all through
that region. A heavy gale from the North
west has been blowing since last evening,
doubtless, the precursor of our old friend, the
equinoctial, if not the veritable equinoctial
itself. Sore throats, catarrhs, colds in the
bead, and various other ailments, resulting
from so sudden a change in the temperature,
appear to be almost universal.
KING VICTOK Emanuel recently had a
narrow escape from death in a mountain
pass. He suddenly found his progress imped
ed by a mass of rock, which appeared impas
sable. Undeterred by its formidable aspect,
the King put his foot on it, but the snow with
which it was covered rested 011 a mass of ice,
which his weight gradually displaced. A shep
herd a few yards below him, perceiving the
imminent danger, scrambled up the rock and
caught him by the back of his shooting coat.
The King took off his hat to the shepherd, and
the spot handed hiin one thousand scudi. He
has since settled a pension upon him for life.
BARON VON BEUST. —The feudal aristoc
racy of Austria treats Baron von Beust and
his colleagues of the Liberal Cabinet with
the utmost disdain. His wife is not recogni
zed by the high-born ladies as their equal,
and, when they happen to meet her in public,
they treat her with offensive rudeness. Few
wealthy aristocrats have ever set foot in
Beust's house. Wheu he issued invitations
for his first public dinner, three-fourths of
them were returned. Most of the Archdukes,
too, treat Beust and Giskra with ridiculous
hauteur. The Archduke Albert, who, al
though he won the battle of Custozza. is by
no means a clear headed man, published, the
other day, an anonymous pamphlet, in which
he said that Beust and bis colleagues would
certainly destroy the Austrian monarchy, and
that the only salvation of the country was the
restoration of the aristocracy and the clergy to
their former privileged and influential posi
tion.
A SINGULAR CASE. —An interesting mur
der trial is to take place at Riverhead, Long
Island, New York, during the present ses
sion of the Suffolk County Court. Eigh
teen years ago a German peddler, who had
been disposing of his wares in the vicinnity
of Patchogue, suddenly disappeared, and
all traces of him were lost. Last Spring
portions of a human skeleton were found in
the woods near that place, and an investiga
tion established the fact that they were the
remains of the missing peddler. Some cir
cumstances connected with the disappear
ance of the man, and the finding of his re
mains, led to the arrest of Wm. McGregor,
of Patchogue, and he is now to be tried for
murder. The case excites considerable in
terest on Long Island, as the prisoner is
well known. It will be an astonishing thing
if sufficient evidence be found at this late
day to convict him of the crime with which
he is charged.

should be bis selection; but in cases where the
emergency is not so pressing, the Bitters is the
specific required. Thousands find infinite bene
fit from takilig each in turn. There is no phase
of indigestion. Biliousness, Nervous Disease, or
Physical Prostration, to which they are not adap

not effect a cure.

and dehpondency to the winds; take a stronger
hold of life, and, in short,
BECOME A NEW MAN!

fevers and other disorders which malaria engen
ders. Invalids who are
WASTING AWAY,
Without any special complaint, except a gradual
declination of bodily strength and nervous ener

in the desert to the sand-scorched and fainting
travelers.
