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. It
M ° tn ' ! : od,t V be blii recently introduced by
A r. Liwunds to prohibit the holding of
more than o„ e c ; Til or m ji iury office by one
person at the same time, which is modified

ore s l ig section shall be construes! to pre
vent ue t t t -ig nations or appointments of
°i r if orai temporarily the duties of
other officers as are or may be authorized
by law, nor to prevent such appointments.
Ac., as are designed by law to be made from
the army or navy."
P ° Xii ragin * fiercel > a num
. of K eatern cities. Cincinnati!, St.
Louts. Chicago and Miiwaukie are being
scourged by it, though the fact is carefully
kept out of the newspapers.

THE EDITORIAL PROVINCE.
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.

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.

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. Principal Office, 631

P ITTSBURGH COM MERCIA L
DAILY AND WEEKLY.
Now fit the time to Pnbecribe—Grent's Election a
New Era.
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

These reports occupying nearly an entire page,

AY ER'S SARSAPARILL A.
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.

FOR TH*
RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
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.
