OUR CANDIDATES.
< If our State ticket it is scarcely necessary
to speak. Hen. J. M. CAMPBELL our
candidate for Surveyor General, has already
filled one term of office to the full satisfac
tion of the people of the State. His illus
trious record as a soldier is part of the his
tory of the country. At the breaking out
of the war he was a Lieutenant in the first
company that entered Camp Curtin. and
continued in the service until near the close
of tie war. being promoted for distinguished
and meritorious services, at Various times
until he reached the rank of Brigadier Gen
eral. The "Boys in Blue'' recognize in
him a companion in arras and a standard
bearer worthy of their most hearty support.
GEN. HARTIIANFT'S record and career
are similar in many respects to that of Gen.
Campbell. As 2 gallant soldier in defence
of the T nion he earned the distinction that
made him Auditor General two years ago.
In the discharge of the duties of his office
as guardian of the finances of the State, he
has merited continuance In office at the
hands of the people, for he has in connec
tion with the other officers of the State
administration continued the good work
of paying off our State debt and lightening
the taxes of the people.
Of HON. JOHN CESSNA our candidate
for Congress, wo can only reiterate what
everybody already knows. A prominent
Democrat previous to the war, at the break
ing out of the rebellion he labored assidu
ously to enlist his party in the Union cause
and in defence of ' nion and liberty. Af
ter laboring in vain until 18C4, as a Union
Democrat, to rally his party under the Stars
and Stripes, when the Chicago platform
pronounced the war a failure and declared
for peace at any price, he openly arrayed
himself with the Republican party and did
yeoman sse. .ice for the Union cause in that
memorn ,c contest. Since that time he has
bean thoroughly identified with the Repub
lican party and as Chairman of the State
Central Committee and in various other po
sitions has distinguished himself as one of
the most active, energetic and efficient Re
publicans in the State. His record in this
respect is in striking contrast with that of
his opponent Judge Kimmell whose polit
ical tergiversations are the subject of com
mon remaik wherever he is known. On all
sides of all qnestiens, he has shown a re
markable facility in changing his opinions
and party as often as necessary to suit the
times and the prospects for office. Mr.
Cessna has never changed but once, and
then only when his party abandoned princi
ples. country and flag to follow traitors and
give aid and comfort to treason. In the
darkest days of the war without promise or
hope of aught save the salvation of the
the I. nion and Liberty he cut loose from
the foul aod corrupt carcass of what had
once been the glorious old Democratic par
ty. and declared for the party that was
strugling to preserve the life of the nation,
with which he has ever since consistently
acted. His reputation as an able, energetic
ana influential Republican is acknowledged
not only throughout the State but over the
whole country. His nomination by every
county in the district except one, General
Koontz's own, is sufficient evidence of his
Popularity and the high esteem in which he
1* held. His eminent ability and indomitable
energy wUI make him a prominent and in
fluential member of Congress of whom the
sixteenth district will have reason to be
proud.
HON. D. WATSON ROWE, our can
didate .ur Additional Law Judge, belongs to
the number of those who shouldered their
mu.-kets and did battle for their country on
ihc tented field. At the close of the war
he laid aside the sword and took up his pen.
M ben the office of Additional Law Judge
was created by the last Legislature he was
commissioned by Gov. Geary to fill thß of
fice. During the brief term that has since
elapsed he has discharged the onerous and
responsible duties of his office with eminent
abilityand in a manner so highly acceptable
judicial district as to secure
for him the unanimous nomination as the Re
publican candidate. In fine legal ability,
<joick and deal' perception and promptness
of decision he has few superiors, while his
courteous manner and fine social qualities
have already made him a general favorite
with the bar of the whole district
LIEUT, J. H. LONGENECKER, one
of our Legislative nominees, is still another
of the '"Boys in Blue," having served with
distinction as Adjutant of the 101 st Regi
ment of Penna. Volunteers. Mr. Longe
necker is a young lawyer of respectable
attainments, a citizen of the county and a
lifelong Republican. His character for
sobriety, morality and integrity is unim
peachable. The son of a farmer, thoroughly
acquainted with the interests of the district
and able to advocate them, he will make a
faithful diligent, and efficient representative.
His devotion to the interests of the party
and his services as a soldier iu defence of
his country, in the hour of her trial and
danger, entitle him to the ardent support of
all bis former comrades in arms as well as of
cverj- one who desires to see Republican rule
j ami economy continued in Pennsylvania,
j 1/ot Bedford County give him such a vote
*s his merit and patriotism deserve.
MR \\ ELLER, our other candidate for
the legislature is a native "of Somerset
county and has already served two years in
the legislature, with such credit and
acceptability as to secure tot htm the un
usual honor of being nominated for a third
term. Ilis election, as well as Mr. Longe
uecker's is assured, but they deserve more
than a mere election and should have a
large majority, such as would not only be a
compliment to the candidates but exert an
influence on the Presidential election in
November.
COL. LEWIS A. MAY, our uouiinee
for county Commissioner is well known to
most of the people of the county. He also
was a Democrat previous to the war, hut
his patriotism could not brook the leadership
of such miserable traitors as Yallaudigham,
Pendleton, Seymour Ac. At the call of his
country he shouldered his musket in her
defence. Fighting under the flag he could
not vote agaiust it and consequently cast his
lot with the Union party. He served with
distinction as Lieutenant Col. of the 138 th
Regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers and
was engaged in nearly all the sanguinary
struggles of the famous Sixth Corps to
which his regiment belonged. Let his com
rades in arms, stood by him at the polls and
he will be elected.
JOSIAH M. LEHMAN of Coal Dale is
a clever gentleman of fine business qualifica
tions and will, if elected, make an efficient
Poor Director. The presence of a good Re
publican and a shrewd business man is very
much needed in the board, to guard against
the very extensive leaks in the poor funds
and Mr. Lehman is just the man to do it.
Let the people see that he is elected if they
don't want an increase of Poor taxes.
JACOB EVANS, of Londonderry and
CHARLES L. BUCK, of South Woodber
ry are both men of respectable business
qualifications and well fitted for the dis
charge of the duties of the respective offices
of Auditor and Coroner for which they
have been named.
DANIEL SAMS, our candidate for coun
ty Surveyor is so well known that it is al
most superfluous to speak of him. A gen
tleman of unusual intelligence and ability he
commands the unqualified esteem of all
who know him. As a Surveyor, thorough
ly acquainted with both the theory and prac
tice of his profession, he has no suj>crior in
the State. While he appears on our ticket
only at the earnest solicitation of his friends
we have no hesitation in naming him as an
eminently suitable candidate for the office of
Surveyor General of the State when that
office is again to be filled.
The Republicans of Bedford county have
never been called upon to support better
State and County tickets. Every candidate
is well fitted lor the discharge of the duties
of the office for which he is named as well
as deserving of the hasty support of all
good citizens. Let Bedford County do her
self the credit of giving them her very best
figures.
THE IMPORTANCE OF A FULL
TURN-OUT.
Let Republicans everywhere remember
the importance of a full turn-out at the Oc
tober election. It is of the utmost impor
tance as it will have a great inflaence on the
Presidential election in November. If we
carry Pennsylvania by a large majority for
Hartranft and Campbell on the 13tb of Oc
tober our overwhelming triumph in Novem
ber wiil be assured. In 1867 we lost the
state and permitted the copperheads to elect
a Supreme Judge through pure neglect and
indifference. We had 40,000 voters who
did not go to the polls, when one thousand
would have saved us the State. This fact
will be seen by comparing the votes of 1866
and 1861 which were as follows: —
1866—Republican vote for Governor 307,276
Democratic vote 290,094
Total vote east 497,370
Republican majority 17,178
1367—Republican vote, Supreme Judge....266.824
Democratic vote 267,746
Total vote cast 534,572
Democratic majority 920
If there Lad been a full vote cast in 1867,
this result might have been regarded as a
decided political reaction in favor of the
Democracy. But the aggregate votes of the
two years, when placed side by side, show
that nearly 63,000 more votes were polled
in 1866 than in 1867, as follows.
Total vote of 1866...., 597,370
Total vote of 1867 534,570
Deficiency 62,800
The Democratic vote cast in 1867 was 22,-
000 less than the same party cast in 1866,
and the Republican vote was 40,000 less.
If these 40,000 Republicans vote in October
the same as they did in 1866, and the 22,000
Democrats vote the Democratic ticket, there
will be a Republican majority of 20,000.
Here we see what mischief a little indiffer
ence may d t Let no one slay at home in
the expectation that there will be enough
without him. Such folly lost us last year's
election, when we had an actual majority of
20.Q0Q voters if they had gone to the polls.
It is the duty of every good citizen to inform
himself in regard to the issues of the day
and go to the polls and vote for what he
believes to be the right. He can delegate
the duty to no one else. Let every Repub
lican do his duty on the 13th and we will
carry Pennsylvania by 20,000 majority.
But if 40,000 Republicans stay at home,
each supposing that Lis neighbor will go
and that there will be enough without him,
we will lose the State again and endanger
the election of Grant and Colfax. The
issues are vital ones and include Peace or
War. Every one believes that another civil
war would follow the election of Seymour
and Blair for they have declared for revolu
tion. All know that the Election of Grant
and Colfax will secure PEACE. With Union
and Liberty, the Peace and prosperity of
the country at stake who will dare to stay at
home. To work then, every one, and not
only go to the polls early yourself but see
that your neighbor is there also, and we
will carry Pennsylvania for Ilartranft and
Campbell by a majority that will blot out
the last hope of the rebel conspirators.
HOW THE NEW REBELLION 18 TO
BE INAUGURATED
At a Democratic Convention at lieorge
town, Kentucky a few days ago, one of the
speakers, a rebel lawyer let the cat out of
the bag in the following tylc:
"'As there are no reporters present," he
observed, "I may venture io speak more
freely than I otherwise should deem it prudent
to do. We shall hold white elections in every
Southern State, and choose electors for Sey
mour and Blair. If the House refuses to
count the votes east by these electors, the
Northern Democracy aie pledged to us to
resist by force the inauguration of the Repub
lican President. We have agreed to back
them. Eight years ago they promised to back
us: but tbey failed, and left us in the lurch.
Now we have promised to back them, and
shall not fail."
Here is a bold, downright defiance and
disregard of the law of the land proclaimed
before hand, with the added threat to un
dertake to resist the inauguration of a legal
ly elected President by force. It is thus
they propose to begin a new civil war. We
have heard the same threat made here in
the streets of our town by those who know
the secret plans of the leaders of the Dem
ocratic party. It is in effect the same thing
that is contained in Blair's Broadhead
letter. The same thing is contained in the
eighth section of the New York platform
where it declares the reconstruction acts null
and void. It all means WAR and a fresh
effort to redeem the "Lost Cause." Let
the friends of Peace beware. Seymour and
Blair are pledged to this rebel platform.
By the election of Grant and Colfax the
Peace and security of the country will be
assured.
THEIR LAST EXPLOITS.—The last Dem
ocratic Cabinet under Buchanan embraced
the traitors, Cobb, Floyd and Thompson.
Cobb bankrupted the United States Treas
ury. Ployed stole the arms and amunition
from Northern Arsenals and sent them
South to the rebels. Thompson stole the
funds of the Department of the Interior
and carried tbem South to assist the rebels.
A beautiful trio of Democratic celebrities.
Yet this is the party that claims a right to
take charge of the government because of
its integrity and uprightness. Honest far
mer, mechanic or merchant, be you Demo
crat or Republican is it safe to entrust the
interests of either the State or national gov
ernments in the hands of such a party.
tor ttranl nnrt fhjl/ax. Harlranft
Campbell, CessDa, Longenecker and Wcller.
Vote the whole Republican ticket. Vote
for peace, economy, light taxes, and the
honest payment of the nation's debt.
THE Gazette makes a great ado about the
tariff on sugar, tea and coffee. Why the
Democratic platform proposed to tax in ad
dition, and at the same rate (equal tax
ation) upon their actual value, the farmer's
wagons, horses, ploughs, houses, lands, fur
niture and every kind of property be owns.
That is how Democracy proposes to remedy
the matter. Farmers how do you like the
proposition ? The Republicans have re
duced the taxes about one half within the
past year and propose a still further reduc
tion as rapidly as the condition of the na- j
tional finances will permit. The Deir ocracy j
propose to double, treble and quadruple the ;
taxes, by taxing every thing you have.
X ote for Grant and Colfax and the reduc- !
tion of taxes.
DON'T fail to read the report of the rebel
riot and murders in another column of this
paper. It will give a true idea of the defiant
and rebellious spirit aroused in the South
ern States by the Copperhead platform and
the met) who advocate it If union men
are murdered now for daring to speak their
sentiments what will be the condition of
affairs after the election, if Seymour and
Blair should be elected? Does not every
one see the imperative necessity of electing
one whom rebels have learned to respect as
well as fear. The election ot Grant and
Colfax alone can secure peace and safety for
loyal men white or black in the Southern
States. "Let us have PEACE. "
REMEMBER that the commissioners and
Poor Directors of Bedford County are about
to expend $40,000 or $50,000 in the erection
of a new-Alms-house. In view of the way
the Poor-house matters have been managed
in the past, we ask every good citizen if it
would not be a good thing to have at least
one Republican in each of the boards, both
of commissioners and Poor Directors. Let
every one, who thinks that it would be goon
to have both parties represented, vote for
Col. Lewis A. May and Josiah M. Lehman.
BRICK POMEROY'S new paper, The Dem
ocrat seems to be going down hill about as
fast as the Democratic party. It started
out a short time ago with 25,000 subscribers,
but the more respectable Democrats have
become disgusted with it, or the party is
rapidly dying out for its circulation has fal
len to JO,OOO according to the latest accounts.
It and the modern Democratic party will
fizzle out 'jgether about the 3d of next
November.
JOHN H. Surratt, the last rebel under
arrest, either for murder or treason was
released a few days ago. Jeff Davis is out
on bail and has gone on a pleasure trip to
England. This is the way traitors are
punished and treason made odious. Davis
and Surratt both belong to the modern De
mocracy and would vote for Seymour and
Blair if they could get a chance.
THE New Democratic Arithmatic, by which
they make a Republican majority of over
8000 a glorious Democratic victory, is sup
posed to run as follows:
"Twice one is five,
Carrv four makes seven ;
Twice ux ii twenty-nine,
And eighteen's eleven:
And between yon and me,
It is very plain to see
We can carry all the States,
By the double rule of three !"
REMEMBER that a Democratic rebellion
has loaded the country with debt and taxes.
If you want the debt enlarged and the tax
es increased vote the Democratic ticket,
REMEMBER that the leaders of the Dime
cratic party to day are the same men wh>
either led the rebels in arms or sympatlfizal
with a rebellion that cost the country $5300-
000,000 and 500,000 of her best and brtvet
men. Can you vote lor such men? Ae
they fit to be trusted with power and an
thority whose hands are yet reeking witi
the blood of our martyred heroes?
WE judge of parties as well as men ly
their company. Robert E. Lee, Jeff. l)i
vis, General Beauregard. General Foire-s
and Wade Hampton are Democrats and an
doing all they can for the olection of Sey
mour and Blair. Booth, Wirz and Atzer
oth were Democrats. How do you like tie
company ? Vote for Grant and Colfax.
REMEMBER that the Republicans ha
been paying off both the national and State
debts and at the same time lightening the
taxes. Vote for Grant Colfax, Hartram't
and Campbell. If you want the sntne poli
cy applied to Bedford County and her debt
and taxes vote for May, 1/ehman, ilvans
and Buck.
REMEMBER the TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR
deficit in the Poor House accounts. They
are not the only leaks in the BedforJcounty
finances. If you want these leaks stopped
vote for tho gallant soldier, Col. Lewis A.
May, for Josiah M. Lehman. Jacob Evans
and Charles L. Buck
THE Gazette figures out $40,00 of taxes
on the segars, tea and coffee of evcrv
mer. How much will his tax®* be when
his horses, cattle, farming utensils, houses
and lands are taxed at the same rate accord
ing to the "Equal Taxation"' programme of
the Democratic platform?
Go TO WORK withoat delay. See that
every man is assessed and his taxes paid.
Attend to the getting out of every vote.
It is work that tells. Idle talk amounts to
nothing. Get out every vote and we will
have 25,000 of a majority on the 13th of
(October.
REMEMBER that during six years of war
the Republicans paid off $5,000,000 of the
State debt and abolished all State taxes. If
you want the State debt paid and taxes of
every kind still further reduced vote for
Hartranft and Campbell.
THE ELECTION of Grant and Colfax alone
will insure Peace to the country. Let every
lover of Peace do all in his power to seem®
an overwhelming victory for the whole
union ticket and the peace of the country
will be assured.
IF you want the £40,000 or $50,000 fo be
spent in tho erection of the new Alms
house, judiciously expended, Vote for Col.
Lewis A. May and put a Republican in the
Board of County Commissioners.
$5,000,000 is the cost of a Democratic re
bellion. 500,000 lives were sacrificed in
putting it down. Is such a party fit to he
trusted with power?
IT is not every Democrat that is a rebel.
But every unrepentant rebel is a Democrat
and will vote for Seymour and Blair.
REMEMBER that every Democrat in Con
gress except two voted for paying UOLD to
the BOND HOLDERS..
'• IF ANY MAN ATTEMPTS TO HAUL
DOWN THE AMERICAN FLAG
SHOOT HIM ON THE SPOT .'
Gen. Dix, the American Minister at
Paris, has sent the following letter to a
friend in New York. It was not y;iiun
for publication, but the gentleman, to whom
it was addressed, has consented to give it to
the public:
PARIS, Sept. 4, ISGS.
MY DEAR SIR: It was my hope that my
distance from home would have secured me
from all participation in the political excite
ment prevailing there. But I notice an
annou .cement in one of the newspapeis that
lam heart and band with Mr. Seymour.
1 am uot aware of anything in the pre.-ent
or the past, which could rightfully subject
me to such an imputation.
I haveheen acquainted with Mr. Sewnour
i more than a quarter of a century. He is an
amiable gentleman of unexceptionable pri
vate character, and ot respectable talents.But
you know as well as I that he has not a single
qualification for the successful execution of
the high official trust to which be has been
nominated; and he is especially deficient in
that firmness of purpose, which in critical
emergencies, is the only safeguard against
public disorder and calamity. He has
been twice, at different times, Governor of
the State of New York; and he has in nei
ther case had the talent or the tact to keep
the Democratic party of the State together
more than two years. I should rogard
his election at this juncture, when steadi
ness of purpose, decision, and selfcontrol
are so much needed, as one of the grea
test calamities that could befall the country.
Moreover, he lias been put in nomination
by a Convention which has openly declared
the purpose of those it repieseuts, to pay
the greater part of the public debt, con
tracted to preserve the Union, in deprecia
ed paper. Such a measure would, in my
judgment, be a palpable violation of the
public faith, pledged under circumstances
which should have been binding on all hon
orable inen. Mr. Seymour has made public
speeches to show that it is our duty to
pay the debt in specie. In accepting
his nomination to the Presidency he
adopts the declaration that it ought to
be paid in paper. I know nothing so hu
miliating in the history of American poli
tics as this tergiversation. It was, per
haps, not unfit that Mr. Seymour, after
presiding in 18G4 over the Chicago Conven
tion, which declared the war a failure,
should preside over the Cenvention of 18G8,
in which a proposition to discredit the
debt contracted to carry on the war was
received with "tremendous cheering,'.' and
that he should be the chosen instru
ment to execute this act of National turpi,
rude.
I do not believe that the wishes or opin
ions of the great body of the Democratic
party are fairly expressed in these proceed
ings. They have nothing in common with
the statesmanlike views of policy, and the
high sense of national honor, which guided
the party when Martin Van Buren, William
L. Marcy, Silas Wright, Lewis Cass, and
Stephen A. Douglas were among its most
conspicuous members.
I see but one source of safety for the
country under existing circumstances, and
that is in the election of Gen- Grant. In
his decision of character, good sense, mod
eration, and disinterested patriotism, I be
lieve the South will have a far better hope
of regaining the position in the T'niou to
which it is entitled, than under a man whose
political career has been in nothing more
conspicuously marked than in an utter •in
firmity of purpose.
Independently of all these considerations,
I should be greatly surprised if the people
of the United States were to elect as their
Chief Magistrate, a man who was making,
at the Academy of Music, on the 4th ot
July, 1883, a speech, deficient in all the
characteristics of an elevated love of country,
at the very hour when Gen. Grant was car
rying the victorious arms of the Uuiou into
Vickshurg, and when thousands of our fel
low-countrymen were ponring out their
blood on the plains of Gettysburg, in defense
of their homes, and the Government which
Mr. Seymour was doing all in bis power to
embarrass and discredit.
1 am quite willing that you should show
this letter to any friends who may take an
interest in ray opinion in regard to the com
ing election, and lam particularly desirous of
removing the impression, if it exists, that I
am in favor of Mr. Seymour, orthe repudia
tion of any portion of the public deot. I
am, dear Sir, very truly, yours.
JOHN A. Dix.

RIOT AND MURDERS IN CAMILLA.
The Rebel Democracy attack and wound
a Republican Candidate for Congress
—republicans killed—Gov. Bullock's
Message to the Legislature—appeal
to the President tabled.
ATLANTA, Sept. 21. —On Saturday last,
Col. Pierce, Republican candidate for Con
gress from the lbl District, and Capt. Mur
phy, Republican Presidential Elector, went
to Camilla, Mitchell County, in the couth
western part of the State, to speak at a
public meeting, which had previously been |
announced. When near town they were |
mot by a Rebel, mounted and armed, who
warned them not to go into the town. They
went on. and were coon met by the Sheriff
of the County, who informed them that the |
people would not allow a Radical to speak
in Camilla. They persisted, however, and
on reaching the Court-Iloiwe, they and
their friends were assaulted by a uiob. Col. i
Pierce is dangerously shot, Capt, Murphy;
is badly hurt, and many more of the Repub
licans were killed and wounded; A large |
majority of the Republicans were colored ;
men, who, obedient to Gov. Bullock's*pro- i
clamation of the 14th iust., had left their j
arms 'it home. They were of course beaten
and shot down by the Seymour Democracy, !
almost without any resistance. Official re \
ports place the number of killed and woun
ded at fifty. Among the victims are a
colored woman and her infant. These out-j
rages are being perpetrated all over the j
State. Gov. Bullock sent a strong message :
to the Legislature this afternoon, scconi j
panted by an official reiiort of the riot from
Major Howard, U. S. A., commanding the ;
Sub District, and recommending the L-gisla
• ,c 10 call on the President for troopo iu ]
suppress the Insurrection, and enforce the
laws of the State. After reading the mes
sage, the following preamble and resolution
were offered in the Senate and House by j
the Republicans:
Whereon, The laws of (he United States j
prevent the organization of a Militia force; i
and whereas, the civil officers of the State j
are unable to execute the law and maintain |
the peace. Therefore, be it.
RenofeeiJ, That his Excellency, the Presi
dent of the United States lie, and he is :
hereby, respectfully requested to place at
the disposal of the Governor of this State
such military force, from tho armies of the ;
United States, as the said Governor may I
from time to time call for, and deem neees" '
sary to the preservation of the peace, and i
protection of the rights, lives, and property ;
of the citizens of this Slate, and for the exe !
cut ion of the laws, orders and decrees of the
civil officers.
Jtexolved, That the Governor be, and is
hereby, requested to transmit a copy of this
action to the President by telegraph.
This was voted down by the Senate and
House, and a democraticcoiumittee was rais
ed in each body, to whom the Governor's
Message was referred, and where it will lie
buri< d. Gov. Rullock has done all in Li.-
power to secure protection for loyal citizens,
but is entirely thwarted by the majority in
the Legislature.
We clip the following from the Editorial
columns of the "Lender," Cleveland, Ohfo
one of the most influential papers of the
West.

In making this assertion, we are sustained

being compounded from the prescription of
one of the tuost celebrated physicians of his
day, and is well known and used by the
faculty of the present time. It has been
before the public in its present shape for
over twenty years, and during that time has
become "known all over the world." To
those in need of a remedy of this character,
we would say procure it at once, and do not
waste your time and money on the many
worthless compounds that now flood the

A MAN WITFI A CHARMED LIFE.— The
New Orleans Picayune says: All great cities
; are full of strange characters, but at present
New Orleans excels in this respect. Living
! here is an individual whose remarkable
career is almost without a parallel in the
annals of romance. He was born in Indiana,
and is now about forty years of age. His
name is Edward Caruthcrs. Being engaged
•ni a personal difficulty with a man named
; Simpson, at Madison, in the fall of 1546, he
killed his antagonist anil fled to the Ameri
can army, then entering Mexico. At the
battle of Chapultepec he was taken prisoner,
and laid for months in a Mexican dungeon.
Being released at last he married a Spanish
girl, and settled on the Bio Grande. Here
being attacked by the Indians, himself and
family were carried into captivity, where he
spent two years. Effecting his escape be
joined a ranger company, and was shot in a
fight with the Comanches, scalped ami left
for "dead. He, however, recovered and
joined the Walker expedition to Nicaragua,
where he wits wounded, captured and again
imprisoned. Bat being again released he
saded for the United Spates. The vessel he
was in was wrecked, and he barely escaped
with his life. He was one of the passengers
lon the ill-fated Evening Star, and again
escaped dca'h where so many perished. He
is now a rosi 1 nt of this city, and delights
in relating adventures which are certainly
remarkable to the ls~t degree.

POLITICAL ITEMS.
A TERSE Haute, Indiana Hebrew offers a
standing bet of SIO,OOO, three to one, that
Grant will be the next President.
FIFTT-TWO persons at Des Moines, lowa,
who have heretofore been Democrats, have
declared their intention to vote for Grant and
Colfax.
GEN. BUCHANAN, commanding the fifth
District, has declared for Grant. He has
been commended by Democrats for his Con
servative instincts.
HALF the voters of Union township West
Virgiuia. put their names on the Grant list
on t h e 18th. Among them were six old Dem
< ociats.
I CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE, ex-candidate for
the Presidency before the New York Conven
tion is announced by the Zanesville Courier
to have written a letter to a friend in that
place declaring for Grant and Colfax.
Si KRATT has been released on a technical
' point. The leniency of the court in permit
ting him to plead pretty much as be wanted,
finding one special plea after another and
never allowing the Government the advantage
of its own demurrers, is at least extraordi
nary.
Gen. Charles W. Roberts, of Bangor, who was
a speaker in the Democratic interest in Pe
nobscott county, Maine, said in a recent
speech: "Take out the churches and the
temperance societies, and there will be noth
ing left of the Republican party.-'
THE Ku-Klux of Alabama have marie haste
to prove to the world that the Governor and
Legislature are right in calling upon the
Pre-ident for troops. They have just mus
tered in force near Tuscumbia, overpowered
the officers of the law, and bung three ne
, groce.
I he New York Times says it is stated that
General Hancock has written a letter saying
that Seymour and Blair have not the ghost of
a chance, and adds: "We could nain half a
dozen very prominent Democrats in this city—
whose names would carry weight everywhere
—who have openly said the same thing,"
It-' our Copperhead friends are not satisfied
with Radical reports and speculations con
cerning Maine, they may read what one of
their number —the Richmond Dispatch —says
on the subject. That is:
"If Maine shall shore a gain, large or
small, for the Itadicals, Seymour may consid
er his chance for being a successor of George
Washington as small indeed.''
Small it is; let it be recorded.
AT one period of the war the Government
had not greenbacks enough to pay the soldiers,
and the Secretary of the Treasury offered
those Gevernment bonds. Thay accepted
the offer and took $20,000,000 of the seven
thirty bonds. Were these "fighting boys in
blue" "bloated bond-holders?"
NEW- SYSTEM. —The Democracy have in
vented a new mode of cypher in.' They turn
the figures upside down, and run tbem the
wrong way. By this ingenious mode, the
more they lose in any State, the more they
gain. Is'nt it nice? "Necessity is the motb
or of invention-"
A PARTY of Western politicians had occa
sion to call on President Johnson last week.
Their mission was to seek Government patron
age for election purposes. One of the num
ber has since let out the fact that the Presi
dent did not receive them kindly, but rather
discouraged them. He spoke dolefully of the
prospects of ihe Democratic party, saying that
he firmly believed Seymour would not carry
more than four States, in November next.
"IK ANY MAN PULLS DOWN THE AMERICAN
F LAO SHOOT HIM ON THE SPOT." Such were
the orders of a distinguished Democratic
ollicial under Mr. Buchanan, who loved his
country more than his party. The man who
made that memorable order was Genearl
John A. Dix. who afterwards, when in com
inand at New Y'ork, told Gov. Seymour that
he had troops enough to manage his "friends''
Hiid him too. and who is now the American
Minesterto France. No one, therefore, need
be gurprized to learn that General Dix de
dares no earnestly in favor of the election of
Gfant and Colfax.
CURRY O'LANVS has heard all about those
"Immense Rebel gains in Maine." He has
received the following letter:
SqUEDUME, Me.
To C. O' LASTS, Esq.: The election in
the town has gone just as we expected. The
Republicans have carried the town by an in
creased majority, but the heaviest propor
tionate gain has been on the Demociaticside,
as you will see bv the figures:
1867. 186 S. " 1867. 1868.
Republican....so 60 Democratic .1 2
Touts 51 62
The Democratic gain is 100 percent., while
the Republican gain only 20 per cent. At
this rate the redemptioraof Maine is only a
question of time.
Yours, HI GH B. 81-OPE.
