It will bo seen that a re-election of Mr
Scott the present year will bo .In confor
mity with usage, and that Under tho
u?age, If adhered to,Montour will have
tliGllcprcscntatlvo for two out of three
years of tho next Senatorial term.
Tho Democratic voto of the two eoun
ties at tho Presidential election last year
was as follows:
sKYJtoun
Columbia -1022
Montour 1097
Thus tho Democratic voto of this
county was about two and n half times
that of Montour and that, wo beliuve.ls
about tho usual proportion. It follows,
that during the last fifteen yenrs Mon
tour lias obtained more than double tiic
representatives she was entitled to In
tho Hou.sc upon n principle! of numbers
nnd rehitivo weight uf population. Hut
it has been thought expedient and has
been found convenient, to dlvldo repre
sentation equally between tho counties
and such has been (ho practice. To bo
sure thcro was difficulty In maintaining
tlio usago when Mr. Clialfant wai a can
didate tho first timo, in 18G0. For great
dissatisfaction was produced in Ibis
county by ciii'iim.slaiiccs attending the
district nominations of that year, und
tho lleprei-cntallvo Conlerees of this
county, tho Standing Committee, and
both of our Democratic newspaper.-?
united in pulling up Col. Talo as a can
didato agaln.t Mr. Challant. Only by
energetic effort was that formidable
movement defeated and the nomination
of Mr. Clialfant sustained. Thocirctlm
stance which then .stung tho passions of
men and produced tho dilllculty was,
lhatwhiloMonlour (the smaller county)
took tlio Representative nomination,
tho votes of her Senatorial confoiees de
feated a Columbia county nomination in
Senatorial conference, although when
Mr. C. was nominated lie and ills friends
had agreed that they would support a'
ColumbiacoiinlySenatorialuominatlon.
Tlio Editor of this Journal, in common
with others, supported Mr. Clialfant at
that time in order to sustain party ua
gcs.und accepted his explanation that he
could not control tho Senatorial confer
ees of his county as as excuse for tho re
suit in Senatorial Conference, tint we
do not dc&lro to over see again the same
strain put upon the Ildelity and magna.
nimlty 'of our party in this county that
was put upon them at that time.
Turning now to tlio upper House of
tho Legislature, tho fact appears, that
neither Columbia nor Montour has had
a Senator for twelve' ye.irs. Col. Uest of
Danvlllo was Senator when Montour
was erected and Immediately afterwards
'Mr. Uuckalew of this county represen
ted tho district. Taking into account
tho relative population and Democratic
vote of tho two counties, tho terms of
service of thoso gentlemen balanced
eacli othdr, in other words wero propor
tioned to the relative political weight
of each county in the Senatorial district.
Upon the whole, Montour lias had
her full share of representation in the
Legislature, and In fact, for a longtime,
nn excess as compared with this county.
Wo aro not careful to have an exact nc-
countstatcd between our countlesjto In
sist to its full extent upon tho principle
of popular numbers in our representa
tion, but our exhibit wo supposo Is now
timely and may bo accepted as instruct
ive. That harmony which has existed
almost without interruption between
our counties for so many years, will bo
best preserved by a frank acceptance of
facts and by tho avoidance of all undue
prctciifcionsorelaims by cithcrcounly In
its relations with tho other.
Bradley's littlo Lies about Gen. Bnt.
It is our duty to repel unjust assaults
upon our candidates whetherStato, Dis
trict or County, and as occasion thai I re
quire during the canvass that duly will
ho performed. The Jlepubltean of last
week assaulted Gcn.Ent in a small way,
and 'wo shall now answer it. It said :
"There is Ehl, who, besides being a
resident of llloom,camo very near coin
ing over to IhoKcpuhlicau party during
tho war. Ho wrote some pretty strong
letters homo in omiosltlou to tho l.'Ish.

ment up hero to belli put down tho In
surrection. Wo go In for tlio General
every timo. A distant view of tlio
omeo or Surveyor General recalled his
waning nlfections to thoDcniocratlc. par
ty, and tho position of Prothonotary in
n county Court, in recilUy, may secure
them."
TO AM WIIICU WK ANSWKU:
1. Gen. l.'ut is not (and lias not been)
u resident ofllloom, but pf Light Street.
no did not coma near to going over
to tho Republicans during tlio war or at
any other timo.
!1. Ho did not wrilo strong letters
home In opposition to tlio Eislilngcroek
Democracy or any other Democracy, in
hisniimuaudin our own, wo defy the
Jlfjmbltam to produce any such letter
or to prove that It ever' existed.
I. He was not anxious to bring his
ltcgliiieut hero to put down an Insur
rection or anything olso. ill fact his
Rcglmonl was. discharged and dispersed
so mo timo before tho idle gcd insur
rection and tho Invasion of our county,
Its term of.scrvico expired in thoSpring
of 1801 whlio the troubles here were in
tho Summer following. "Liars should
havo good memories."
Einuily.n vlew( whether uearor dis
tant) of the oQlco of Surveyor General
did not recall his waning Directions to tho
Democratic party. Ho was nominated
impromptu In the State Convention In
1868 for Surveyor General when ho was
absent in New Jersey nnd had no knowl
edge or expeclntlon of such an ovont.
Three years beforo that tlmq ho spoke
at length at the Nob Mountain meeting
and four years beforo ho acted as u
Democratic Commissioner In the taking
of tho Army voto. n sprvIcQ for which
ho was roundly abused by tho Vuhmibla
Cointy Jlepubucun. Ho was also n
speaker at Democratic meetings In our
own and other counties In 18C0.
THE COLUMBIAN
Tho Columbia County Invasion.
XIX
1 ill' iiviait).
TlIK WIT.S-KHM AHAM LUTZ! -This
wUncss was examined against Hants',
and Colley but not lii tho Daniel Me
Henry cave. Ho resided In tho village
of Ilcutnn, was u pump-maker (and
farmer) and about the lime of tho trials
an inn-keeper. That hu was n man of
strong passions was shown by a transac
tion subsequent to the trials. Hohr Mc
Henry sometime after his return homo
from prison complained of tho testi
mony against It I tn which I.titx had giv
en bn tho Itant. trial ; whereupon Lulu
struck lihu violently with u hand-saw
and cut his bead suverely. Considering
tho small slzu of tho man assailed and
the great prostration of his strength by
Imprisonment, and considering also tho
great lnjustlci of testimony given be
lilnd his back without uotlco or oppor
tunity for cross-examination or reply,
this assault appears not only very re
prehensible but bs convincing proof of
tho unreliability uf Lutz us u witness.
For It exhibits u passionate nature, lia
ble to bo carried away by any strong
Impulse beyond tlio limits of Just and
considerate action,
But there is a particular reason for
not subjecting the testimony of this
witness to sovero criticism, or Insisting
strongly upon facts that would tell
against him. For ho died about two
years slnco of pulmonary dl8easo oud It
would now bo ungraclouo becaiiio un
timely to subject his memory to much
of odium or censure. Hut wo aro com
pelled In tho full performance of our
task to pats his evldenco in roviowand
accompany thn exhibit wllhsomo ex
planatory remarks.
In the Hantzcase, Lulz testified that
hu had heard of tho Hauls', meeting but
did not know Its object, and that upon
oiln occasion (tho timo of which ho
could not .state) hohud hoard Kant, say
that they (tho people) should save their
money to buy powder nnd lend to shoot
tho abolitionists. This remark was
made after a failure to ralno bounty
monies to clear the township. Ho fur
ther teslllled to n convers itlon with
Uohr M'llenry to which allusion has
been already made, and which was
manifestly Intruded Into tho case with
out reason or Justification. Wo omit it
because it was wholly Irrelevant to the
casoon (rial and its introduction plainly
unjust to an absent party.
In the Stott K. Colley case, (Nov. 2Jrd
0J), tho testimony of Lutz was as fol
lows: Adam Lute sworn : "Jtosido in Don
toil; know prisloncr. Last harvest,
about July, got Into conversation with
him about the draft and about election.
He claimed Woodward .was elected j
Curtln put in by intrigue. Ho stated
wo could never whip tho South ; we
had been whipped in every engagement,
lost every batilo. He said our armies
were all cut up whilo the south was In
good lighting order. Ho said wo could
not HU up our aimhs; volunteering was
played out, und thcro was no uso in
drafting. laskedhim why tlieycould'nt
fill tho armies by drafting; lie said,
they did not Intend any moro men
should' bp sent south to be slaughtered.
I told him if a draft was made it would
be enforced. Ho said, If tho Govern
ment undertook that thero would bo
war at home, and tho bloodiest times I
ever heard tell of. Ho said I would bo
sorry that I had over lea the party.
Cross-examined : Wo came nearly to
having blows. We talked somo before
that day. He said wo had never given
tho poutli any chanco to como back into
tlio Union. lie spoko In tho way I
stated."
Itn.MAnKH : Evidenco of conversa
tions between disputants, detailed by
ono of them, Is always to bo received
with caution. It Is In human nature,
even when thcro Is no unfair Intention,
to color such norratives according to tho
bias of tho witness. Hence tho circum
spection and critical caro with which
sucli evidence is received and considered
in Courts of justice.
Upon tho faco of tho abovo testimony
it appears that tho parties to tho conver
sation hud a warm dlspulo about poli
ties thai they had ''talked somo beforo
that day" and that thero must havo
been moro of tho dlseourso between
them than that reported. Thcro is hero
groat opportunity for tnUtnko not only
as to tho actual language used but also
as to tho connection In which it was
uttered.
Hut the declarations of Colley, (as
suming tlio fact that thoy uro reported
with substantial correctness,) fall short
of criminality. However Improper and
censurable they may bo thought to bo,
their utteranco violated no law and
could justify no conviction. Audit is
to hu romombeml that thoy wero spok
en In excitement and not deliberately
and that they wero very probably pro
voked. Tun witness UoiiuuT La Favi:ttk
CoM.i.v: Tliis person will make but a
single uppeuraiico In our narrative, as
wo havo tho record of Ids testimony In
ono casoonly ; but whilo ho remains be
foro us for Inspection wo shall endeavor
to do him justice. His position and his
testimony aro nllko Interesting nnd
qulto untqtto in tho history of tho trials.
Ho was particularly earnest and con
spicuous In the trial of Mr. Sleklo, (one
or the prisoners, to whom lie imputed a
prlvato injury,)but his best title to dis
tinction arises from Ids appearance as a
witness against his own brother. That
was u spectacle wortbv of commemora
tion nnd woshould esteem ourself great
ly lu fault if It wero overlooked. No I
this patriotic citizen who could spurn
the puny ties of fraternal affection
when thoy impeded tho performance of
duty; who could rlso suporlor to tho
ordinary feelings of humanity at the
call or his pat ty and becomo tho willing
Instrument or political vengeance upon
his brother, must not bq forgotten, nor
must one atom of Ids valuable testi
mony bo withheld. Hero Is what ho
said pu tho UUrd November '01, on his
brother's trial, when tlio question was
whether tho latter who had already
undergone nearly throo mouths of dun
goon liro, should bo further persecuted
and punished ;
Jl. L. F, Cbltey, sworn. I livo lu
Kenton ; a shoemaker by tnido, I know
Stott E. Colley j ho is my brother. On
flonday ovenlng after thoy mot at
Hantz's, I heard Stott E. Colloy say, In
Benton town, "If the soldiers cumu on
that side of the bridgo thoy would
butcher ovory devil, or d d ono ono of
mem," no naa agunj i saw two others
with guns that evening Mathias Ivlluo
and Valentino Full. Through tho day
saw squads or near twenty armed men ;
somo hud arms, homo few had none, I
AND DEMO Oil AT,
I heard Philip Knouso say, their Inten
tion was to glvo tho soldiers fight on
their way, rrom Hloomsburg to Ucntoti.
If thoy found tliehl too Rtrong they
would lay In tho brush. If tho soldiers
como up and behaved themselves they
would not disturb them. If they dis
turbed, or endeavored to arrest the draft
ed! men, they Intended to fight them.
Ho said ho knew the drafted men had
no pe.teo Torn long tlmoand they would
not stand It any pioro. P. Knouso left
that night; not heard of htm slnco tho
arrest,
Ci'oss-ccamlned: Thcro was a good deal
of oxcltemcilt in town. I wajno nearer
to my brother than across tho street. I
supposed ho was excited. Thcro was
great excitement in tho neighborhood.
My brother was not present' when P.
Knouso spoko what I havo detailed. I
think I saw him that day ; I saw him
at Applcmans. It was n common talk
that the soldiers would burn tho houses
of tho drafto.1 men."
HEMABK8: 1. Hero again wo havo
Irrelevant testimony, Improperly nnd
unjustly Introduced, In the Intemperate
and defiant declarations of Knotlso.
Stott E, Colley was not jirosont when
those declarations are said to havo been
made and as In no way responsible ror
them, nof was any connection between
him and Knouso shown. Nor was the
latter ono of tho arrested men.
2. Tlio witness locates his brother on
tho opposite sido of n street at the time
of ids nllcdgcd romark,a position which
might causo his ianguago to bo misun
derstood; docs not glvo any dlseourso
or clrcum stance which preceded or fol
lowed tho speaking of tho particular
words to cnablo us to judgo of tho cred
ibility or ids statement, and is unfortu
nate In putting his brother's language
in an alternative form.
3. Tho statement of this witness that
"it was a common talk" that tho sol
diers would destroy property, Is evi
dence in explanation of tlio Hantz
meeting lo which wo shall hereafter
refer.
1. Wo havo occasion fo repeat hero
our remark already mado about tnu
caution or rather prudent distrust, with
which evidenco of conversations should
bo received wliero thoy occur under
circumstances llko tho3o now in ques
tion. For such caution or distrust is
particularly nppllcablo to Mr. It. L. F.
Colley whoso zeal so far outran discre
tion when ho was beforo tho Commis
sion as a witness, that ho wos checked
once or twlco by tho President of tho
Commission and directed to como to
tho point and contlno himself to tlio
questions asked. The witness who vol
unteers testimony may thereby provo
his zeal but. will not Increase his credit
and may safely bo classed as unreliable.
His testimony upon any poidt in doubt
or controversy can hardly stand alono,
but will require confirmation.

nrocpss nnd nocketcd tho gains. Tho
handling of thlrty.flvo millions of dol
lars was "a big tiling." Who; profited
by it ?
By that bill the rato of Interest upon
nearly tho wliolo thirty-llvo millions
was increased from flvo per cent, to six
percent, per annum. To tho tax pay
ers of tho Stato this was ati nnnual loss
of three hundred nnd fifty thousand dol
lars. No man demanded tho change
and only In tho necessities of the Treas
ury ring was tho operation deemed n
good ono. Boo its practical operation
On December 1, 18C0, our wholo debt
was $35,022,052. On this the people paid
an annual interest of $1,807,130. In 1807
wo paid nn annual Interest upon our
debt of $2,257,033. On December 1st,
1808, our wholo debt was reduced to
$33,2S0,0I0, nnd lu that year wo paid an
nnnual interest of $1,901,190, or nearly
$100,O00moro Interest than wu paid when
our debt was over two millions larger.
Tho wholo expense of placing tho new
loan wns'$90,000. This went mainly to
radical newspapers, tho organs orGenry,
Kcmblo & Co.
For tho three years ending on Dc
ccmber 1, 1809, wo will havo paid, by
reason or this splendid financial opera
tion, over nine hundred thousand dollars
moro than wo wero required to pay by
tho old law.
Wo chnrgo that this was dono In or
der that Geary, Kcmblo A Co. mlgh
retain In the Treasury, during 1807, an
average monthly balance, of over threo
millions of dollars, and in 1808 or over
two millions.
Wo cliargo that tho Auditor General
and Stato Treasurer's reports fully bear
us out in these fuels and figures and wo
challenge denial.
Wo charge that Joint W. Geary was a
part of tlio conspiracy to pcrpctuato tills
stupendous wrong upon tho peoplo and
that tho ring lias filled its pockets by
his connivance and with his consent and
approval. Patriot.

A COltnECTION.
Mk. EiJixon :
Sin. I like to see Justice dono oven
to a political opponent, nnd therefore
call your attention to a fact which will,
I think, convince you that Bra'JIoy has at
least one ghost.
Don't you remember thecaso of tho
young man, Gitling I think his namo
was, who worked" for Jolin B. Pursol ;
and who had some slight affection of
the throat, to which case tho lato Medi
cal Director was called ; and who to
show his ignorance of medicine and Ids
knowledge of surgery, performed an
operation upon the boy, who died with
in twenty-four hours thereafter ?
Although tho man Is an unmitigated
failure in, all respects, still It is right to
glvo him credit for what littlo ho has
done. I am Sir
Piiii.o-Buath.ey
Le IUysvim.k Pa. Aug. 13th 1809.
Mn. EiitTon : Thinking that per
haps somo items eonccrnlngcrops, pros.
pects etc., from Bradford, might not
bo entirely without interest, is my ex
cuso for, writing you at this time.
Grass nnd grain havo como in good;
potatoes com and other crops promise
an nverago.yicld, tho farmer Is well ro
warded for his labor In this section this
season. Wo aro also expecting a largo
ijiehV of Pachcr and l'ershlng votes in
October, as many Republicans havo ox.
pressed themselves in favor of tho la
boring man's friend, Asa Packer, ovor
tho "Bogus hcroof SnIckersvlIIe,"Jno,
W.Geary. All tho Indications nro that
the Democratic candidate will iccelvo
a hearty support from many honest men
who havo heretofore acted with tho Re
publican parly, and who now wish to
aid in tho restoration lo tho form of
Government bequeathed us by our nn
costers.
Tho rail road from Piltston toTownn
da will bo completed in a fuw weeks
when wo shall haven much nearer aud
cheaper communication with Nuw York
andPhlladelphlaand thelron andConlrc
glons of Pcnua. Great credit Is duo to
the able and elllcieut superintendent of
construction Col.V. E. Plollct, wdio lias
labored incessantly for tho completion
of tho road during tho past threo years,
and Is now about to bee tlio work con-
Bumatcd.
For tho past month I have failed to re
ceive all tho uumbcrsof thcCoL'tf mman.
However much I may dislike to loso tho
papers, I am consoled by tho reflection
that thoy havo beon tuken by somo
"Loll" V. M or tlio party or "groat
moral ideas" who needs tho instruction
thoy, contain however loth ho may bo
to prolit by It.
Wishing you and tho principles you
aitvocato tlio' fullest success,
I am yours truly. S. W.
The Presbyterian Manner speaks In
tho following complimentary manner
or the nominees or tho Democratic par.
ty, ror Governor nnd Judgo or tlio Su
promo Court:
"In 1805, Mr. Packer founded atSouth
Bothlchom, a sclontiflo school, under
episcopal control, called tho Lohlgh
University, nnd enclosed It with a tract
of land fifty acres In extent, and with
$500,000 In monoy, and It Js believed ho
intends giving an additional $500,000,
making ono mllllou of dollars. Ho is
said to bo u man of most oxomplary
prlvato llfo who dispensed Ids charities
with a mostllberul hand."
"Ever tlnco Mr. Persldug was admit
ted to tho bur ho has resided in Johns
town, where ho has met with complete
success, and has alwayo maintained tho
highest reputation for Integrity and
Christian character. Ho Is an nblo law
yer. HoIsanElderln
tho Presbyterian Church or Johnstown,
and Superintendent or Its Babbath
School, For four years' ho occupied n
prominent placo. In tho Pcnusylyanln
