lebfor&Jnquirer. BEDFORD- F&IBAI, IKB. •, IBH. OJICB FOH ALL. For tbe rery few who have found fault wiih our recent strictures upon legislative extravagance we have a few plain words. As an organ of Republicanism we will dc fend its principles at every hazard, but when our chosen represent ati ves bet ray their trust, common honesty and the welfare of tbe par ty alike demand their unqualified condem nation and they shall receive it at our bands. Neither friend nor foe shall be spared in such cases. A subsidized and mercenary press is the bane of our country at the pres ent time and tbe evil is confined to no one party. The salvation of the country dc mands a free, independent, honest outspo ken press. Neither money nor patronage shall turn us from the right as wc are er,a bled to see it. By this we intend to stand and when the people will not support u in this position we will betake ourselves to some other honest calling. W bile we con trol the columns of a paper it sba 1 be made the cats paw of no man, nor clique. Ihe great principles of the party shall be detend cd and advocated to the best of our ability. The right shall be commended and the wrong condemned, DO matter whose corns are pinched, whose vanity is wounded or whose nice little arrangements are frustra ted thereby. This is our position. The Republican party of Bedford County and oi the State wc believe will sustain us in the advocacy of a pare and honest Republican ism. THE PRIJIAKV ELECTION. It has been suggested that the Primary election for the nomination of a Republican ticket l held on the 17th of March, the time for holding the spring election. This will be entirely too soon as tbe County com mittee have not yet promulgated a plan ol operation under the new system about to be introduced. Candidates should be announc ed at least four weeks before the election, and as only five weeks intervene between tbe time of the meeting of tbe County Com mittee and the March election, our people will not have familiarized themselves suffi ciently with the change to enable them to respond promptly. Our member of tbe Legislature, who, we presume, will dc.-irc a re-election, will have no opportunity to vindicate his record in fact he will not have made all his record up to that time and the people should not prc-judge him. The peo pie ought to act knowingly and not thought lessly upon this matter, and up to thi* time they have had no opportunity to post them selves, nor is the time from now until the 17th of March sufficient for this purpose. There is no necessity for any great haste; people who desire the nomination of a can didate will turn out any time and vote for him, and then they will have made up their mitids to vote for the person most meritori ous. The only way in which the adoption of the Crawford County system can be ad , antageous will be by conducting the can vass fairly and honorably before the people. This can only be done by giving sufficient time. IT is reported that the Republican mem bers of Congress from Ohio recently agreed, in conference, to support the proposed Amendment to the Constitution providing for Manhood Suffrage and that they would oppose the bill proposing to accomplish the same object by Congressional enactment. We think this a proper view of the que-tion. We believe in impartial suffrage a* embody ing a vital principle of the Declaration of Independence but wc would not force it up on the loyal States contrary to the will of the people. If the people are not prepared for it let its fairness and ju.-tness be shown and advocated until they understand it and are prepared to accept it. This is the position taken in the Chicago platform of l>t> and on which the Republican party gain d her glorious victory. Let us have the amendment and submit it to theLegi-!a tures of the States. The cause will only gain strength by fair, honest, open advoca cy. Right and justice need never fear pub lic scrutiny nor a fair trial. IHE Gazette of L~t week is in quite a quandary over our strictures upon certain acts ot the legislature now in sessiou. The Gazette and its kind are FO accustomed to supporting everything their party does, right or Wrong, that it supposes everybody else mu-t do so. For the edification of the Gazette man we wiil inform him thatagood- Iy proportion of the men in the Republican party, who are identified with the acts we r .idemn are recruits from Democratic ranks. Their probable motives in joining us it is unnecessary to discuss. Now it is high time the Gazette should begin to un derstand that though we ore an uncompro mising Republican we hope always to have independence enough to denounce wrong wherever we End it, and further, that we have the sanction and approval of all hoc is'i upright raaical Republicans in so doing. CHANGING THE ELEC TIONS. A bill was introduced at Harrisburg last week to chauge the time of holding the local elections known as the Spring elections Jo the second Tuesday of October. The meas ure is a good one and cannot be passed too soon. It will save a vast amount of ex pense to the State, save the time of our people and give us a fuller attendance at every election and a better expression of public sentiment. We have never been able to discover any good reason for having them thus separated. Let us have the change by all means. The people will ap prove it everywhere. SENSIBLE. The Senate Las reported a bill amending instead of repealing the Ten ure of Office act. Plie amendment provides that members of the Cabinet may be re moved during the recess of the Senate, and other officers may be suspended at the dis cretion of the President, but should they de mand that reasons be sent to the Senate, euch demand- shall be complied with.

The Harrisburg State Guani gives utter ance to some very sensible notions on the responsibilities and duties of political writers or rather editors of political journals. The tendency to praise every man pat forward, or who has the brass to push himself for ward for offices of profit and trust has bo utterly debased and demoralised a large portion of the press, destroyed its indepen dence and made it the tool of corrupt dema gogues, that the veriest upstart considers himself grievously wrooged if he is not ful sooiely pufful as soon as he has chosen to express his desire to occupy a ftlaee and draw a salary —The matter of fitness is never to be mooted in such a case and the presumptuous editor who would have the im pudence to a.-k of fitness is at once con demned as unfit for and unequal to his position.—We hope to see a speedy and general u format ion in this respect, and in its effort- to this end the Guard has our hearty apptoval; it delivers itself as follows: A j? iiticsl writer, by which we mean the conductor of a pun. y political journal, has two corrections or emendations to make be fore we due hope to have anything like the fuirnt-.-s ahd the dignity in official affairs which we must have to realize the trie in tent of free Government. What we intend to write will, no doubt, apply to ourselves us well as to otht rs, but this fact will not deter us f. itn tir utterances. The great and grievous fault with most editors of political journals in this country is the pen chant to overpraise or brutally abuse. There is not an editor in the country who has escaped this temptation at all times, and we regard the indulgence as one of the greatest evils from which the American people now suffer. Those who are controlled and direc ted in their preferences and oppositions by party organs conducted in the spirit of over praise or bitter abuse, never get a proper idea ol" a public man; and when they do form an opinion or an estimate from the standpoint thus afforded, are always disgus ted with their mistake when brought in con tact with the man whose character they supposed they fuiiy understood. By this system, untried men whose good fortunes or the plotting of corrupt upholders placed them in pet itions of great trust and honor, are puffed into character which they cannot -ustain. Frequently a good man is spoiled in this way. He is made to appear more famous than he is, and therefore imagines it is unnecessary to indulge in an effort to -erve a public whose organs are ready with fulsome adulations to reward him before he renders himself deserving of acknowledg ment. Or, the other hand, good men, faithful public servants, liberal statesmen, are overslaughed and traduced by those who cannot use them, while the poor dupes, the people, allow themselves to be led into un favorable views of men who are their truest friends and most faithful servants. The cause of all this wrong is with the condue tors of journals whose columns teem with over praise and bitter anathema. It is the very extremes of tbe abuse of the liberty of the press either to over praise or bitterly assail a public man. Under these circum stances our system of free government is made to suffer. The practice vitiates pub lic appreciation of statesmanship, foists on the public service a class of men who should not be trusted, while it impairs confidence in others who are entitled to our largest faith. Everybody would like to see this evil practice abated if not entirely abolished. For ourselves we arc heartily sick of it, and we know that with sensible newspaper rea ders. the practice ot over praise and brutal abuse is a most disgusting spectacle in jour nalism. It i-the interest of all journalists to irowu on this practice, to abstain from it and devote their columns solely to discus sion of the merits of measures instead of the blemishes or beauties of men. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] TETTER FROM II VKRISBI KG IIAKRISBCRO, Pa., Jan. 30, 1869. MEMBERS AND THE NBWSPAPER PRESS. — During the past week a number of daily papers have very severely criticised the action of the Legislature, especially on the question of retrenchment and reform, which has called out a corresponding reply on the part of several members. In the House, yesterday, Mr. Davis, of Philadelphia, made a very bitter speech in reply to certain articles alleging that lie, as Speaker of the House of last year was responsible tor the extravagant waste of money in the payment of extra and unnecessary officers. He stated that he was not on the committee that made out the list of subordinate offices last year, did not know their names or number, and in no way au thorized the payment of their salaries. The editors of papers that had made statements to the contrary he prononnced liars , and would hold himself rf sponsible for his words, either personally or otherwise, in the House or elsewhere. Mr. Kleckner, of Philadelphia, has already soed the Lancaster Intelligencer for libel in reference to his course as a legis lator, and it is not at all probable that a number of other suits will follow. ELECTION Faints.—Wednesday the com mittee on the contested election case of Bunn vs. Witham made their report to the House. It will be remembered that Mr. Witham was returned as elected to a seat in the House, from the Xlth district of Philadelphia, by a Democratic majority of thirty five. The com mittee report, as the result of their investiga tions" that Mr. Bunn received one hundred majority of ail the legal votes cast and is therefore entitled to the seat. There were but five witnesses called, and those by the contestant Their testimony is to the effect that they were a part of a gang of ten men, not residents of that district, who passed from poU to poll, voting upon different names, residenci and occupations, as furnished them atcachp .il. Afterwards they divided, and five of them charging hats and coats went over the same ground again. The manner in which the perpetrators of these frauds en deavored to prevent the "repeaters'' from knowing for what particular candidates they were voting was also developed. None of the witnesses examined opened and read the ballots, but understood they were voting the democratic ticket. They were directed by the pnrlies who sent them, to go to a man stationed at the several polls, who was to be known by the Democratic badge of a string in the button-hole of his coat, and from whom they reoeived the tickets. Parties who the sauie undtrutaixling, and testified that they invariably procured Democratic tickets from the same man, con taining the name "of Daniel Witham as a candidate for Assembly. The committee say that the evidence does not at all implicate Mr. itham in these frauds, but they seemed to be a part of a general and thorougly organized system which, if permitted to be successful would render our elections a criminal farce. POLITICAL GOSSIP.—The political atraos phere about Harrisburg is thick with rumors and (lying reports. The Gubernatorial ques tion is exciting a good deal of interest, and the relative chances of the various candidates for nomination are freely discussed. Hon. G. A. Grow, as chairman, has issued a call for a meeting of the Republican State Central Committee in this city, on the 4th of Febru ary, for the purpose of fixing the time and place of holding next State Convention. The friends of Gov. Geary are pressing his re-nomination with a good deai of vigor, and it is thought that if an early meeting of the Convention can be secured his re-nomination is quite certain. The administration of Gov. Geary has been popular with the people at iarge, but IHB independent course has given offence to a certain class of politicians, and it is now quite currently reported that Simon I ameron will uee his influence to secure his defeat. The other names now mentioned , most prominently are Gen. Harry White, and ; Hon. W. W. Ketcham, both widely known as j staunch Republicans and men of commanding influence in the political ranks. The Democrats are discussing forgubernato rial honor* the claim* of Geo. M'Candlesa of Philadelphia, Hon. Asa Packer of Carbon, and Gen. Caa* of Allegheny. The name of ffm. A. Wallace was brought forward by the Clearfield County Convention, a short time since, which drew out a letter from Mr. Wal lace, declining to be a candidate. The name of Gen. Hancock has also been mentioned in connection with the office. Gen. Cass now seems to be the most prominent man, al though Geo. M'Candlessis very popular and would have great strength on the Democratic ticket. About the only point that teems to be definitely settled, is that the candidate must be a man with a military record. The Democratic State Convention will probably not be held until after the Republicans have made their nominations. IxsTßucrjya PEKXSYI.VAXIA COKGRESSMEX. —The number of joint resolutions introdirced into the Legislature for the purpose of in structing our Senators, and requesting our Representatives in congress, in reference to certain measures is already quite large, arid will doubtless elicit considerable discussion. Among them thw following subjects are era braced : Protesting against tbe passage by Congress of any law incorporating railways within this State: urging our Congressmen to use all honorable means to procure the enact ment of a law regulating the elective franchise in all the States of the Union; urging our Congressmen to vote against tbe incorpora tion of any railway companies by the General Government; opposing the passage of any law placing the telegraph lines under the control of the United States Government; urging our Congressmen to use all honorable means to secure a connection between the Pacific rail road and some of the Pennsylvania railways; and urging our Congressmen to vote against all proposed amendments to the Constitution looking to the adoption of negro suffrage in the several States of the Union. COXSTITCTIOXAL AMEXEMEXTS.— Mr. White of ludiana ha* introduced into the Senate a bill to provide for the calling of a State Con vention with power to submit amendments to the Constitution to a vote of tbe people. The propriety of calling a State Convention for this purpose is favorably considered by mem bers of the Legislature. It is not however likely that a sufficient number of votes will be procured to pas* the bill. In the House, Mr. Adaire, of Philadelphia, has introduced a joint resolution providing for amendments to tbe effect that the number of members of the House of Representatives shall be increased to three hundred, and prohibiting the Legis lature from passing any bill conferring any corporate powers on private individuals but that the courts shall have power to grant all such privileges. This resolution seems to have been presented more with a view of drawing out discussion and securing an ex change of opinion than with any hope of its passage. STATE TAX. —In compliance with a resolu tion, the Auditor General transmitted to the House on Wednesday, a communication giv ing the amount of State tax due and overpaid by each county of the Commonwealth. The balance now due from all the counties of the State is $108,172 39. The balance due to the State from Bedford county is $2,035 16. 40TII CONGRESS—TUIRU SESSION. SENATE.

Mr. Lynch (Me.) gave notice that he would-call up, after the morning hour, his bill to provide for the gradual resumption of specie payments. Mr. Ileaton (N. C.) introduced a bill to amend the 34th section of the act of August 5, 1861, to provide increased revenue from imports, and thereby suspending and aba ting the collection of the uncollected port ion of the direct tax laid by that action upon the States of North Carolina, South Caro lina, Alabama, Georgia Florida, Louisiana and Arkansas.

A STANDARD MEDICINE —The Editor of the Review, Washington, Peon., writes as fallows: Atnong the few remedies for tbe curing of disease, that have stood tbe test of experience and grown into popular favor, is Hoofiland's German Bitters. This Bitters has been before the public for many years, and has been constantly growing in reputa-- tion. In many cases of Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, disorder of the digestive organs, Ac., it is used with the greatest success, and is often presetibed by the most skillful and experienced physicians. To those afflicted with any of the diseases arising from bilious disorders of tbestomach. and diseases resulting from a disordered condition of the digestive organs, this Bitters is said to be invaluable. Tbe Bitters is not an alcoholic drink, and a taste for alcoholic stimulants is therefore not engendered by its frequent use. We believe that if our people—our far mers and mechanics, and ail who are obliged to work out of doors in the wet and rainy weathpr of the spring and fall, would use the Bitters as directed a large proportion of the fevers and bilious complaints with which we arc afflicted, would entirely cease. Hoofiand's German Tonic is a compound made with all the ingredients of Iloofliand's German Bitters to which is added pure Santa Cruz Bum, orange, anise, &c., making a preparation of rare value, agreeable and pleasant, it is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, by those requiting some Alcoholic Stimulus.

EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. Tbe election of Grant marks an era in tbe his tory of the country. Tbe fuinre is full of prom ise. We stand on tbe tbreshbold of a period of remarkable interest. If tbe Presidential cam paign awakened a desire for reading and intelli gence, the election of Grant must crepte a wish among all classes to be well informed at every step in the career on which, as a people, we are about to enter. Tbe people having elected a President by an unexampled majority, they will naturally wish to observe bioi at every step, know of every event as it happens, and have en intelligent understanding of men and things not only in our owu country but throughout the world. More than ever now a good newspaper becomes essential to every man, who would keep himself informed concerning passing events. ■*" THE PITTSBURGH COMMERCIAL has won a place among the first journals of the country, and by common consent is tbe BEST PAPER IN PENNSYLVANIA. We GIVE ALL THE NEWS. And the habitual reader of tbe Commercial will find himself well informed on all topics of gener al interest. Few papers in the country have so extensive a correspondence, none has so com plete arrangements for gathering the news, and no other pays so much attention to adapting what it prints to the wants and associations of its read ers. The Cummercutl is NOT MERELY A POLITICAL PAPER. An advocate of the principles of the Republican party, it returns to political friends and foe a thousand times what he pays. THE DAILY COMMERCIAL, ever since it was established, has been ahead in giv ing The latest, faileet and most reliable newt. Not professing to be a party organ, and wishing not to be understood as tbe instrument of any set, sect or combination, yet devoted to the great principles which have so signally triumphed in Grant's election, the C> mmereiml claims to be an educator of the public mind, the medium through which it will find expression, and the advoeate and friend of truth in ail things. If it is the organ of anything, it is of PENNSYLVANIA INTERESTS, more especially of the great industrial ciasses, with whom it is in the closest sympathy, and of whom it is a part. As a commercial paper, es pecially in its EXTENSIVE AND RELIABLE MARKET RE PORTS. the Commercial ie reeogniied everywhere as an tnority, and it is daily read and relied on in Banks, Counting Rooms, by the Mechanic, Trades man and Rcprentative, Man of every calling. In a word, if you desire the iatesc and all the news; the fullest and most complete market re ports, tbe choicest general reading and literature, and a complete newspaper in every respect, take the commercial. TIIE WEEKLY COMMERCIAL, IS a very large sheet, each number containing an amount of reading equal to a dollar volume, pre pared expressly for those who desire in one paper ail the News, and Newspaper reading enough tor a family. To this end wc give in the Weekly Commercial the particulars of leading events, whether of POLITICS, FINANCE, HOME OCCURRENCES OR FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. To render the Weekly Commercial of especial value to the rural portion ol the population, we give extensively of AGRICULTURAL READING, for which we have special arrangements; so that no number of the paper shall fail tc give what to any man with an acre of ground will be* worth many times the cost of a year's subscription. Be sides this each number ol the weekly is stored with CHOICE FAMILY AND FIRESIDE READ ING. Including entertaining sketches of Biography, Travel and Discerery, interspersed with Poetry, Stories and light reading. To this we add what has already caused the Weekly Commercial to be sought after very widely—a FULL WEEKLY REPORT OF ALL THE MAR KETS OF PITTSBURGH t.N'I) THE PRIN CIPAL CITIES AT HOME AND ABROAD. These reports occupying nearly an entire page, are to the buyer and seller of whatever our popu lation makes, grows or trades in invaluable.

FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD. The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys, is derived from its cures, many of which are truly marvelous. luveterate cases of Scrofulous disease, where the system seemed sature'ed with corrup tion, have been purified and cuied by it. Scrofu lous affections and disorders, which were aggra vated by the scrofulous contamination until they were painfully afflicting, have been radically cu - ed in such great numbers in almost every section of the country, that the pu'olic scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one of the mo--t destructive enemies of our race. Often, this un een and un fclt tenant of the organism undermines the con stitution. and invites the attack of e~ r eebliog or fatal diseases, without exhibiting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it SCCJQS to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of its hideous forms, either on tie surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be sud denly deposited in the lungs o- heart, or lurao-s formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or feul ulcerations on some part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sartaparrilla is auvisable, even when no active symp.oms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following complamts generally find immediate relief, and, at lcigtl*. cure, by the use of this SA USA PA JUL LA: St. Anthony'* Fire , Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, £elt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ear?, and other eruptions or visib'e forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more corcealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Diseese, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous af fections of the muscu'dtr and nervous systems. Those painful diseases. Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous mrt ters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Ir fiamatioo of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they often do, from the rauking poisons in the blood. This Sarsaparilla is a great restorer for L e strength and vigor of the system. Those wi o are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleep'ess, and Troubled with Nervous apprehensions or Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of Weakness, will find immediate relief and convin cing evidence of its lei.torative power upon trial.

THE GREAT DESIDERATUM sf the AGE! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the llair. Faded or gray hair ie toon reetorcd to ite original color and the gloee and freehneee of youth. Thin hair if thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of ten, though not always, cured t>y its use. Noth ing can restore the hair where the fallicies are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can ; only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for* IIAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer en the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by. DR. J. C.
