11 member of,tlie,Bar of this couuty.nnd
s.crs'od In tho rccsnt war in, tho capacity
of a Colonel of colored troop?.
Upon tho occasion of Mr. Clurk'ti ro
tirinj,' from thu Asscssorship in conso
quenco of tho new appointment, it Is an
act-of wimple justice to, statu that he has
been, an officer of unusual merit, having
discharged nil his official duties with
completo impartiality and signal abil
ity. TJiero wcro no reasons founded in
public policy or interest fornnewnp
poliittnentjto this ofUco at, tho present
time, und lt is mailq for political reasons
alone. Yb believe thero is now no
oOIco in tills Congressional district, sub
ject totijresidcnlla'l appointment, which
Is.not assigned ,tu a Radical incumbent
in other words, a clean sweap has Deen
made, by tho AdmlnUtratiqii o! all tho
Important omccaof the district and good
progress, .made toward seizing all tho
subordinate ones. Tho two most pro
scriptiyo Administrations in our politi
cal .iiistory'to thi3 date, will bo known
hereafter as ,thoso ofjLincoln and Grant,
although both were placed in power by
a party which had .loudly complained
of Democratic proscription. This sub-,
Jcct will admit of further observation
in, connection, with recent official chang
es in our jown section, and wo shall
recur to it hereafter,
Senator Jackson.
TiiLtcrm, of this gentleman having
expired, it gives, us pleasure to refer to
his.courso as a Representative. Though
acting yitli a political minority, ho has
fuepcoded in all tlio,lo;al legislation de
manded ,by tho District, and thin too, in
, somo Instances, in face of tho most bit
ter opposition. His, aid in securing tho
locution of tlio Normal School at this
place and in getting tho usual appropri
ation, was timely and efficient. A
severer task' was in procuring au appro
priation ,or $100,000 for tho Lunatic
Asylum, to, bo built at Danville, in op
position to that king ,of lobbyists, Peter
Ilerdic, -who spent time and money to
defeat, it., His success seemed doubtful
in tho faco of such strong and well or
ganized opposition, but tho result shows
how indefatigably lie labored.
He was also tho author and champion
of tho movement to make an inquiry
into tho management of tho Soldiers'
Orphans' Schools, and In, that particu
lar was successful beyond expectation.
Ills opposition was strong and peculiar,
and, his triumph, thcrcforo tho more
creditable.
.Senator Jackson has been faithful to
our intercsts.i and wil carry back- to
"Llttl'o Sullivan'"' the good wishes of
all his constituents. Wo wish liim suc
cess in tho future, and assure him that
tho people of Columbia County will
always hold his services In grateful re
membrance Representative Scott.
Tin-: legislature having adjourned on
Friday last, Mr. Scott has returned to
his homo ut Cafawlssa. His record for
the past session Is mado up, and we ro
ferto it with pride. Other constituen
cles havo been sold and betrayed by
their Representatives, but we have been
more fortunate, and Mr. Scott's hands
are clean of all tho dirty jobs which
were brought before tho Legislature,
undoubtedly tho most corrupt over con
vened. This, in theso times, Is a fair
matter for congratulation.
Throiigh Mr. Scott's efforts a large
amount of local legislation was done,
and his active co-operation with Sena
tor Jackson in reference to our Normal
School, tho Insano Asylum at Danvillo,
the Oraugeville School, our I'oor Houso
Aa, deservo mention. Of course there
Is a claiw of legislation local in its na
ture, where tho Interests of different
sections conflict, and in which it is Im
possible to pleaso all. Outside of this,
Mr. Scott's courso meets' with general
approval, and his own bitter opponents
are willing to concede hia ability, lion
esty, and his desire to faithfully carry
out tho wishes of his constituents.

O.V thofilh nf July, IS07, Mr. Lowe
(Ihi! prtwnt I'hniuvllnror tho exchequer
In the (Hailstone mliiiiiilstratlon) mov
ed tho following amendment to the re
form bill In tlio Ifouso of Commons:
l'ownn to DiBTiiniUTE Votes: At
any contested election for n countv or n
uorouirh represented by more than two
members, and having more than ono
seat vacant, overv .voter Klmli bo onti.
tied td n number of votes 6qual to tho
number of vacant Keats, and may glvo
nil such votes to 0110 candidate, or may
dlstrlbuto them among tho candidates
us no ininKS ut.
This amendment (which was for tho
free vote including tho principle of cu
muhitlou and appllinblq generally to
elections where more than ono member
wits to bo chosen) was debated on tho
diiy when offered and on tho day follow
Ing, and received thu very handsome
support of 173 votes a largo voto for a
now proposltl-m upon Its first trial of
strength. Mr. Lowe's, amendment was
identical In principle and almost ldontl
ctl In. tonus' with tho bill now reported
by II1I1 committee. Tho Etigllsh tiropo-
sllloii applied to tho election of mem
bers of Parliament, tho American ap
piles to the election of members, of
Congress,-but In both a freo voto, In
eluding the right of cumulation, is tho
essential Idea, and tho object In vlow
more complete and Just representation
of tho people.
On tho 30th, July, 1S07. tho reform bill
being under consideration In the Houso
of Lords, Lord Cairns moved to insert
tho following now clause, to como In
after clauso 8 of tho bill :
At a contested election for any coun
ty or borough represented bv thrco
members no person shall votu for moro
than two candidates.
This amendment, after nn elaboralo
debate, was adopted by n strong vote:
contents, 112, not contents, 01; nud an
additional amendment was then also
adopted without a division that "at a
contested election for tho city of Lon
don" (which is entitled to four mem
bers) "no person shall voto for moro
than thrco candidates."
Tho success of those" amendments,
(which were concurred In by tho House
of Commons on tho 8th of August,) con
stituted an important event in tho his
tory of representative institutions, for
they recognized and gavo application to
a principlo of justlco which will endure
the test of trial and of time, n principlo
which will hereafter receive cndeflnlto
extension, and wherever extended will
purify olcctlons, insure contentment to
constituencies, and elevato tho character
and Improvo tho action of freo govern
ment. Mr. Gladstone, speaking in thollouso
of Commons, mid confining his atten
tion to his own country, declared that
tho proposition or principlo contained
in those amendments, if .adopted at all,
must bo adopted with tho certainty that
"it must unfold and expand itself over
tho whole country and completely re
construct tho syBtem of distribution of
seats." And generally those who sup
ported it in both houses of Parliament
foretold and rejoiced in the prospect of
its future expansion,
Thoso .amendments constitute the
ninth and tenth clauses of tho reform
act of loth of August, 18G7, and their
effect Isillustrated by tho parliamentary
elections of 1803. '"Wo give tlio. returns
for certain districts:

In Liverpool tlio second seat, previ

by tho liberals; tho result was a failure
as shown by the abovo vote. But tho
third member was most justly secured
to tho liberals under tho certain opera
tion of tho limited vote, provided by
clauso 9 of the reform act.
Under tho operation of tho same
clauso tho tories obtained tho third
member for Leeds, and they carried
members also in Manchester andi Lon

fairly and consistently worked out, It
has no objection whatever. lilac;

This expression of opinion by a lead

somewhat under tho minority clause, Is
a valuablo testimony In favor of tho
principle of electoral reform which that
clauso was intended to promote Sen

Tun following bill passed both IIous
es finally, after having been discussed
and amended at various times during

in accordance with tho provisions of
tho first section of the act of March 9th
1847; that tho owners of unseated lands

Ill
OBJECT. 01-'
the Invasion
Duuincj tho nrocrcss of tho Invasion
,s.
of 1801 (and tosomo'oxtont nfter wards)
calumniation of our pcoplo was scat
tered broadcast by tho Radical press
ond by Radical orators. It was an
nounced by them that Insurgents num
ocring hundreds or thousands wcro
armed and organized In this county;
thatthoy had thrown uplntrenchmcnts;
that they had erected n fort; that they
had field-pieces or cannon, and that
refugees from Canada and deserters
from otlier sections had Joined them in
considerable numbers. Though all
theso statements wcro utterly falso thoy
were made and repeated with tho ut
most coutldenco because an excuso was
wanted for tho stops taken, for tho out
rages committed by lawless power. One
cxamplo of theso slanders may bo men
tloncd:
A certain Reuben K, Wilson, a prca
clier of tho Methodist denomination,
then resided in Bloomsburg and was
corrupted from his sacred calling. It
was a tlmo of excitement and money
was expended very frooly upon elec
tions by tho party in power. Govern
ment expenditures ran at tho rate of a
million and a half or two millions of
dollars per day and Government con
tractors and others who woro deeply
Interested In tho courso of affairs con
tributed largoly to tho funds of tho
"Loyal Leagues." Wilson wai secured
aud ho took tho stump on sundry oc
casions. Ho was, no doubt, well com
pensated for his services. IIo was a flu
ent though superficial speaker, dealt In
slang terms, was not particular about
exactness in statement, and was violent
enough for the demands of tho times.
One of his harangues at Bloomsburg is
well remembered, when from tlio Hart-
man corner he emptied his impetuous
but vapid rhetorIc,througli corrupt lips,
upon a miscellaneous and grinning
crowd. Ills volco sometimes, when put
upon a scream, W03 heard from Market
Street to tho Forks 1
Tho following letter will show the
flagitious statements mado by this po

J. 0. Fjieeze, Esq.,
Dear Sir:
Yournotoof tho
12th lust, is received, and in reply, say,
that I did not hear tho speech mado by
Rev. Wilson myself; but ho stated in
his speech in tills placo in tho open
street, that thero wcro somo thousands
of men up Fishingcreck in nrms against
the eovernment That theso men at
tempted to set flro to tho town of
Bloomsburg several times, and had
burned Mr. Clark's stable
1 havo mado inquiry sinco tho receipt
of your letter of those who heard tho
speech ; and they say ho said as abovo
stated, 'mo exact numuer oi niousanus,
tney do not now recollect,.
Truly Yours
C. W. THABP.
Mr. Tharpis a gentleman of high cred
it, a member of tlio Bar,and has recent
ly represented Northumberland county
in tho Legislature. It Is perhaps only
necessary to ndd, that It is understood
that Mr. Clark's stablo was burned
through tho carelessness of somo little
boys who were playing about it with
matches, and that tho other statements
mado by Wilson wcro without fouuda
tion. As ho resided here at tho time,
his slanders must havo been intention
al and wilful.
But no matter what were tho state
ments mado to Invite tho Invasion, or
to givo to it abroad a color of necessity
or propriety after troops were sent hero
ono tiling is very certain: That tho
military authorities were without any
oxcuso whatever for continuing their
occupation of tho county and for hold
ing our citizens In prison, os'well as for
sundry acts committed or authorized
by them whilo tho occupation contin
ued, (to which wo shall hereafter refer)
For the troops traversed tho wholo
courso of Fishing Creek from lis mouth
to its sources and ascended the North
Mountain into tho forests of Sullivan,
"scouring" tho wholo region through
which they passed, and ascertained be
yond all question that there was no In
surrectionno field-works, no fort, no
cannon, no refugees from Canada ordo-
sorters from abroad and that there had
not been in point of fact in all that re
gion any actual rcslstanco to tho execu
tion of tho laws or molestation of any
officer, civil or military, in tho perfor
mance of his duties. AH this was fully
known not only to the corrupt officer
(Lt. Col. Stowart) who had Immedlato
charge of tho troops, but to Gen, Cad
walladcr himself. Ills declaration that
tho alleged insurrection (or his chaso of
it?) was "a completo farce," was based
upon Ills personal examination of "tho
scat of war" of Ids scientific inspec
tion of tlio sugar-camps of Benton and
tho huckleberries of Sullivan as well
as upon ills personal intercourse with
tho Inhabitants upon tho lino of his
route.
Nevertheless tho troops were contin
ued hero at enormous expenso to tho
Government and our citizens wero do
talncd in prison. Besides, lawless in-
Lsolenco had nn opportunity afforded It
of exhibiting itself in sundry ways bo
foro a peaceful population, and of dis
gusting nil sensible and impartial mon
with tho management of public affairs,
For all this tho samo explanation Is to
bo given that wo havo already given of
tho sending of troops hero at first. Tho
Invasion was originally a political raid
and such was its character throughout.
Tho arrests wcro mado to reduce tho
Democratic voto at tho polls (both by
withdrawing voters from tho eouuty
and- still more by Intimidating others)
and tho men arrested were nearly all
kept in prison until after tho October
election (and many of them much long'
cr) In pursuance of tho samo design.
So also for political effect wero otlier
arrests mado uftcr tho first ones, aud
troops posted (In open violation of law)
at many of our places of election, But
or tins moro nereaitor.
Wo are not nwaro that thero wcro any
deserters (properly so called) in tho
county nt tho time of tho Invasion. If
there wcro such thoy must havo been
very few in number. Thero werosomo
nan-reporting drafted men as thero
were In nil other parts of tho coun
try, but It is preposterous to .ullogo
that tho Invasion was to secure them
to tho public service. They wcro
not numerous and not ono among
them (so far as wo know or bellovolhad
oyer offered tho slightest rcslstanco to
li legal or regular arrest. Certainly
troops wero not to bo called fortonrrost
AND DEMOCRAT,
drafted men until tho ordinary menus
had failed, and then only so many as
wore reasonably nccoasary for tho pur
pose Besides, tho army sent Into tho
county was moro likely to drlvo off
drafted mon than to arrest them, nnd
Its cost was twenty times as much n
would havo been required to obtain
voluntary enlistments equal In number
to tho number of men who had failed
to report. But in point of fact it was
announced that tho Invasion was to put
down nn armed and organized Insurrec
tion, and tho troops proceeded ntonco
to arrest citizens who did not owo mil
itary scrvlco instead of drafted men,
thus exhibiting tho object of tho Inva
sion in nn unmtstakablo manner.

lb the Press of the United Slates :
I beg to caution strangers against
Now York circulars, tickets, shares,
chances and prospectuses in co-opera
tive unions, gift enterprises, or dollar
stores, or in any other possible scheme
whereby property or value Is promised
greater than tho price asked to bo paid,
Every such advertised scIiemo'Isnec-

thero does not and cannot tangibly ex
ist any such schemes in tho city.
Country newspapers whicli advertiso
them, simply aid in tho swindle.
If nil newspapers in tho Union would
now mako a point of publishing and
reiterating this information they will
charitably, and, I think, effectually
counteract tho swindling Intentions of
thoso who uso tlio mails for tho falso

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.
In tho recent Investigation, concern
ing tho removal of tho Orangovlllo Sol
diers' Orphans' School, no man has
acted n moro conspicuous or moro no
bio part, than Hon. Georgo D. Jackson,
tlio worthy Senator from this District.
Not only did ho prepare and lntroduco.
tho resolution to nppolnt n Commlttco
to mako tho investigation, but through
its wholo courso from first to last, la
bored most untiringly to aid .them In
tho accomplishment of their work.
Having satisfied himself ns to tho mer
its of tho caso, ho espoused tho causo of
truth and justice; nnd rising with n dis
interestedness which marks tho truo
manhood of his character, abovo party
considerations and influences, strovo
most earnestly to secure tho vindication
of rlght.'nnd to establish tho integrity
of those who had boon assailed and ma
ligned by tho m!nlon3 of corruption
nnd fraud.
And when tho Orangovlllo Soldiers'
Orphans' School bad been vindicated,
and every chargo preferred against its
Principal, nnd his family and employ
ees, shown to bo false, Senator Jackson
was tho foremost man to vindlcato 7ia
faith of the State, nnd tho Inviolability
of Its contracts. With a firmness which
no opposition could shake, ho main
talncd tho obligation of tho Stato to In
domnlfy tho man who had suffered
from Its injustice; and to lilm are both
myself and family largely Indebted for
tho appropriation received. Mr. Jack
son could not havo beon more faithful
to a brother than ho was to mo. IIo has
our warmest thanks, and tho blessing of
many widows and orphans will rest up
on his head. II. D. Walker.

It is but a few weeks sinco Mr. Mow

DO NOT TRIPLE WITH DANQEK.
A single spark may kindle a flame that wilt
consume a city, and small ailments neglected
may end In fatal disorders, Bearing this fact In
mind, let tho first symptoms of debility or ner
vous prostration be met promptly with Invigora
ting treatment. I-'oremost among tho vegetable
tonics of tho 11 go stands HOSTETTEH'8 stomach
BITTEU9, and whenever the vital powers scum
to languish, or there Is any reason to suspect
tho animal functions csseiitlal tothesustenatlon
and purification of the body are imperfectly per,
formed, this Invaluable tnvlgorant and antiseptic
should at once be resorted to. Indigestion always
produces weakness of the bodily powers. Some
times It happens that tho appetite demands 11101 e
food than the stomach can digest; thoujli not
more, perhaps, than Is required to keep up tho
full strength of tho frame. The object, under
such circumstances, is to Increaso the digestive
capacity of the assimilating organ, so as to make
It equal to the duty Imposed upon lt by the ap
petite, aud capable of supplying the building iw
terlal tf the tystem as fast as lt Is requlreJ, This
object Is fully accomplished by tho use of the
Bitters. They tone and gently stimulate thu
cellular membraue which secretes the gastrlo
juice aud the result tt that the solvent Is min
gled with the food In sufficient quantity to con
Vert all 1U nourishing particles Into pure and
wholesome element. If, ou the other hand, there
Is a deficiency of appetite, without any corres
ponding deficiency of digestive power, the effect
of the tonic Is to stimulate a desire for food. In
nineteen eases out of twenty, hsadache, nausea,
nervousness, faiitlug-flts,,pams, and, lutleeil,
inoitof the casuaTachet and palm to whicli hu
manity Is, subject, proceed primarily from In.
