Radical Fraud.
In aiiothcrcoluinn woprlutan articiel
from a well known Radical newspaper
ijf, Philadelphia", The Sunday J)Upatch,
relative, to the frauds perpetrated in the
Tlrsi f50natorlarDlYtr1hf.whlp.il reaiiltMl
iu tho ccrllftcateof election being giv
en to watt, iiepuhllcEn, la utter tils
regard of the legal election of Diamond
xjcmocrai.
We ask for this' article, a careful and
"tamest perusal. Tho subject Is one of
Uib utmost Importance, dndcalls for
prompt and decisive condemnation by
tho people. It has Keen tho policyof
the Radicals In Congress to1 award con
tested seats tovriiemborfl' of their own
party in defiance of the requirements
pfjustlco and right.and .the, outrage 'will
doubtless bo attempted In our Btato
Legislature.;
No tampering with tho purity of the
ballot box should be. allowed, and no
freo men who will tamely submit to the
Infamous transaction are worthy of
mat. name.
" Judge A-UIson (Radical) declares the
return to ue a laiso ono, out that ho can
afford no remedy as tho caso has gone
beyond hisjurlsdlction. Tliero can bo
no doubt that'.th'o so-called election of
Wutt is a fraud and an outrage, when
both prominent men and Journals of
the Republican party unite In con
clcmnlng it.
Mb. Boutwell aays wo must fund,
and letspeclo payments bide their time.
But taxation must not bo relaxed, nor
.must a dollar come off tho revenues. In
this immense financial view tho PresI
dent tractably concurs. But there must
bo a natural order about these matters,
i Is funding tho public debt of thojlrit
.importance? And, In any caso, can it
boaccompllsh'ed before wo havo resuuip
tlgn? Of course not. And resumption,
wished for by all, because it will mako
present incomes go from twenty to for
ty, per cent, further: Is out of tho iiues
tloil'feo'loiigas theso manacles aro kopt
on eutorprlsoan-J Industry by excess! vo
taxation. Our very first want, then, is
to'get.relieffroui this oppressive burden
of taxes. It is a cantor, eating our lives
out. After tho worklngmen havo paid
ovcr'fiucli a por cent, of their earnings
for tho necessaries of life, and such an
additional per cent, for taxes, for It is
to bo remembered that labor finally pays
tho taxes, very lltllo, If anything, Is
r lert to apply to tho higher social needs,
- saying nothing of encouragement to a
spirit of enterprise. Our first point In
finance, then, is to securo a very largo
and permanent reduction of the taxes,
which were- laid on n war basis, and
havo no business to Intrude Into a tlmo
of peace.

One of tho principal charges made
against our citizens in tho trials at liar
rlshurg, was that they had organized a
secret organization or society to resist
tho draft. This chargo (which was en
tirely falto) nppeared In nil tho cases
irieu anu was continued in mo printed
form of accusation used by tho Judge
Advocate. 'Namps and dates wero filled
In tho printed form, in each case, 'but
tho substatico of tho accusation was tho
samo In all tho cases, and convictious
upon it were had. The form of tho ac
cusation as It appeared In tho charges
and specifications against Stott E. Col
Ioy, ono of tho prisoners, was literally
as follows:
Specification: "In this, that ho tho
said Stott E. Colley, a citizen of Colum
bia county, Pennsylvania, did unlto
confederato and combine with John
Rantz, Rohr M'Hcnry and many other
disloyal persons whoso names aro un
known, and form or unlto with a soci
ety or organization commonly known
and called by thonnmoof tho "Knights
of tho Golden Circle," tho object of
which society or organization was and
Is" to resist the execution of tho draft,
and provcut persons who havo been
drafted under tho provisions of tho said
act of Congress, approved March 3d,
1863, and tho several supplements
thereto, from entering tho military ser
vice of the United States. This done
at or near Benton township, Columbia
county, Pennsylvania, on or about Au
gust nth, lSGi, and at divers times and
places before nnd after said mentioned
day."
There aro three averments In denial
of this chargo which were established
beyond dispute by tho evldenco and
which wo shall now state nnd sustain
1. That ibo (so-called) 'secret meet
ings,' referred to In this charge, wero
held In the spring of 1603 and nono
later than about tho month of May of
that year ; consequently that thoy wero
held nearly one year and a half before
the arrests wero made at tho end of
August 1801.
2. That they wero political clubs
simply, and had nd unlawful or im
proper object; and particularly that
they were not Intended, nor organized
and conducted, to oppose tho conscrip
tion laws of the United States.
3. That they wero not called or
known, during their cxistcuco by tho
namo of "Knights of the Golden Circle,"
nor was any such name ever assigned to
them in any quarter until the tlmo of
the trials or shortly before.
Reserving tho main body of the evi
dence in support' of these points until
our next number, wo will now only
cite the testimony of threo witnesses
examined in tho Rantz trial.
David Savage, sworn: I am a mern-
bor of thoso secret Associations. Tho
only secret about them was tho pass
word. Ve wero sworn to support tho
constitution of tho United States and of
Pennsylvania, and the' laws. There
was no organization to resist the draft.
Almost all the persons belonging to
this Association subscribed money to
pay bounties, Ac. Tho Associations
wero purely political. Rantz said to mo
ho had been In to see tho soldiers, and
told thorn thoy could hunt up all tho
drafted men und arrest them, and thoy
would not bo disturbed.
Nicholas Kindt, sworn: J. was a
member of theso Associations. They
ceased last May a year I think. Tho
password was the only secretin It. Tho
obligation was to support tho constitu
tion of tho United States nnd ot Penn
sylvania and tho laws according thereto.
Thero was no organization to resist tho
draft.
Martin Ammerman, sworn: I was a
member of theso Associations. They
ceased last spring a year. The oath was
as stated by the last witness. There
was no organization to resist tho draft.
Tho only secret was the sign of recog
nition. Never heard theso organiza
tions called Knights of tho Golden Cir
cle, till lately, and that by outsiders.
Not until wo had frccdracu was it
ever thought of that poor men could
walk up to tho Treasury and take out a
hundred dollars apleco" to help them
along in the world. That is tho propo
sition now boforo Congress. Thelandless
people of the South aro to havo two
millions of dollars set apart for them, to
assist them in purchasing and stocking
small farms, and getting together need
ful agricultural implements'. Allow
ing ono hundred dollars apleco, that
sum, will Just go around among twen
ty thousand persons. What is that out
of a population of say cloven millions
of souls? The very proposal suggests
Jobbery on Its face. Tho men who take
one hundred dollars this year would bo
sure to want another hundred next
year, and wo should bo brocdlng,
through tho Treasury', a race of publio
paupers. Not after this .fashion did our
sturdy white pioneers go out Into tho
wilderness of tho West with their fam
ilies, to encounter untold hardships in
subduing it, Cau thero bo any reason
why Government should sot up ono
class or men as farmers moro than
another? or bo moro" tender of tho
sufferings of ono class of poor men than
another? It Is enough that all who are
willing to work can conquer fortune
for themselves If the real Btulf Is in
them. If it is not, ono hundred dollars
Is not enough money to put it there.
Trumbull's Judiciary Bill. .
Tho.blll reported in the United States'
Senato on Thursday, by Judgo Triim-
uiiii,tjrinirrrmn or tho Jndlclary Com
mittee, defining tho Jurisdiction of the
Courts oftho United Btntes, strikes us
as a very strango document for hlrri to
present, or for tho Scunto seriously to
consider. It declares that "no civil
State Government exists in Virginia or
lexas, and no so-called civil StrCo Gov
ernment In ollhorofsald States shall bo
recognized ns a valid or legal Stalo
Government, either by tho Exocutlvo
or thojudlclal power nnd authority of
tho United States, until Congress shall
provide." etc.; and it declares that "tho
act of Congress, entitled 'an act to pro
vide for tho moro efficient government
oftho Robot States,' passed March 2,
1807, and tho several acts supplemen
tary thereto, aro political In their char
acter, tho proprioty or validity of which
no Judicial tribunal Is competent to
question, nnd tho Supremo Court of tho
United States Is. hereby prohibited from
entertaining Jurisdiction of any caso
growing out of tho oxccutlon of said
acts, In cither of said' States, until tho
Senators and Representatives from such
States shall bo admitted into tho Con
gress of tho United States, or Congress
shall rccognizo such State Government
as valid; and, meanwhile, all acts or
parts of acts authorizing an appeal,
writ of error, habeas corpus, or othor
proceeding to bring beforesaid Supremo
Court for review, any case, civil or crlm
inal, or other proceeding arising out of
tho execution of said act, and tho acts
supplementary thereto, or which au
thorlzo nn appeal In any caso from tho
Judgment of tho Circuit Court of tho
United States in a habeas corpus case
or proceedlng,bo and the samo aro here
by suspended," "and the Presi
dent is hereby directed to hold and pro
ceed with all the prisoners held in said
States by military authority without re
gard to any civil proceeding or authori
ty whatsoever t"
These words havo a strango sound In
tlmo of peace. This act, If it become a
law, will blot out civil law In tho States
named, and placo all power in the
hands of the military; unless, by Im
plication, It permits tho Circuit Courts
ofthoUnitid States to oxerclso juris
diction therein. But, if this is allowed,
no appeal can be taken to tho Supremo
Court, to which thoy nro subordinate,
If It permits Circuit Courts to settle
anything, as would seem to bo its In
tent, it makes their decision final, by
preventing an appeal. At all events.it
annihilates thcjurlsdlctlon of tho Su
premo Court oftho United States so far
as Virginia and Texas aro concerned
(why Mississippi is not. included wo
cannot imagine,) and glve3 tho military
full sway, If wo may take tho conclud
ing words of tho bill as declaratory ol
Its meaning and character. "The Pros
Identls hereby directed to hold, and
proceed with all prisoners held in said
States, by military authority, without
regard to aijr, civil proceeding or au
thorlty whatsoever."
This bill places Virginia and Texas
even below tho-Terrltories, for in the
latter tho civil power rule; aud the
people havo tho privilege of appealing
to the United States Supremo Court.
Why tho civil power should thus bo
placed in such completo subordination
to tho military in Virginia and Texas,
wo cannot determine' We had suppos
ed that tho war was over, and that it
was not deemed necessary nor expedi
ent to suspend tho privllego of habeas
corpus in time of peace, especially to
prevent.au appeal to the Supremo Court
of tho United States. If this bill aimed
at the. Courts oftho States named, wo
could understand, and perhaps approvo
it; but wo cannot understand why tho
legitimate Jurisdiction of the United
States Supreme Court-over territory
subject to .the aovemraontof the Unit
ed States should bo curtailed as this
bill contemplates.. Is that Court tho
highest judicial tribunal in tho land
no longer worthy of confidence? Is it
necessary to.blot out ono oftho three
branches of the Federal Government in
order to preserve order and administer
Justice in any part of the territory of
tho United States?
Prothonotary's office, and, by3j most
rcmarkablo fatality, Ma.rcturh had
been tampered with ftnd tho figures al
tered tho in'nocentjroturu Judgo not
being awaro of tho romarkablo changb
in thO result, which elected a candidato
whom ho must havo known was defeat
ed ; and, being unnb'u to notice tho
palpablo alteration in tho figures, ho
copied off tho mutilated return as ho
found it. Tho result would havo been
to certify that Mr. Gcisz, Republican,
was elected to tho Legislature Instead
of Mr. Forsyth, who had tho mnjorlty.
No one with common senso willbellevo
that tho election officer was Ignorant of
tho fact that Gcisz was defeated. In
that case, by prompt action, the fraud
was prevented, nnd Mr. Forsyth receiv
ed his certificate. Ono of tho effects of
tho Registry lawj wo wero told, would
bo to create on honest class of election
officers, nppolnted by tho Board of Al
dermen. In no caso heretofore in this
city havo thero boon such glaring at
tempts at fraud as havo been mado In
tho hopo of unseating Diamond and
Forsyth. If theso aro tho blessings of
tho now system, tho sooner wo return
to tho old plan tho better. "Sunday

fain havo n talk with you, as I silently
watch the cloud wrcatli3 which curl so

As I sit here,meuiory,tlmt over, present

bid tho swift waning year u long fare
well and bury it in tho dead p.'st, but
yet It will contain a history for each of
tho many who havo boon actors on tho
stage during its eventful march. How
many fortunes havo been mado nnd
lost, how much ofjoy and grief, happi
ness and ml3ery,havo been crowded in
to tho short space of onoyear! Soon will
the old year dio. Lit m profit by tho
experience wo havo gained, and resolve
as we continue tho now year and tho
new decado to cultivate that good feel

Tho last ten years havo been, in this
country, devoted to strife and turmoil.
let us hopo that the succeeding ten may
bo given to repairing our wasted oner
gles nud restoring tho country ti her full
measure of power and greatness.
Items of moment hero are somewhat
scarco and nearly all tho Interest seems
to bo centered in Iho action of Congress
concerning tho resumption of specie
payment, and tho currency. Tho new
Rail Road is in full and successful op
eration, and our merchants aro daily
receiving, and forwarding a large
amount of goods ami produce, over tho
much needed Improvement. The Con
gresslonal campaign of 1870 is oven now
being discussed somewhat and ehanes:
of candidate upon both sides arc freely
canvassed by both parties. From any
standpoint,knowing tho bravery and
pluck of old Columbia, I should say
tho Democracy have a good prospect of
success before them.Radicalism in Brad

nothing but tho offices to be got from
tho Administration and tho county

Wo shall look with somo anxiety and
curiosity to tho action of tho Senato on
thU remarkable bill, and for Judge
Trumbull's explanation of tho object of
tho Judiciary Commltteo in reporting
It. At present wo confess to our ignore
anco of any good reason for tho passage
of such ablll. It is plainly Inconsistent
with tho President's position in his
Messago relative to Virginia. Svhy
pass such a law for that State, if Con
gross intend to net favorably on' tho
President's retommondation and fe-ad-mlt

hoped and believed thoy will? Uhe

Frauds among the Return Judges.
It can senrcely bo questioned, by nny
ono who looks carefully at the returns
.oftho election last week, that fraud has
,been resorted ton tho Board of Return
Judges in order to glvo tho certificate
of election, to tho Senato from tho First
dlstrictto Wm. W. Watt.The district is
composed of )lio First, Second, Third,
I'ourtn, Beventn, eighth, and Twenty
sixth wards. Tho return is: For Watt,
Republican, 13,010; for Diamond, Dem
ocrat, 12,810. In the same wards Geary
had 12,723 votes or 293 lees than aro
given to Watt; while Packer had 13,217,
or -107 moro than aro awarded to Dla-
mond. Williams had 12,831 votes, or
182 less than aro given to Wutt ; whilst
Pershing had 13,113, or 303 moro than
aro given to Diamond. Now, is thero
any reason why Watt should be more
popular than Geary or Williams, or
that Diamond should bo more unpopu
lar than Packer or Pershing? Tho pro-
sumption Isthutthovotoof neither of
these Senatorial candidates was govern
ed by personal considerations, but was
purely political. Thero is no reason
why Mr. Watt should run ahead of his
ticket, nor that Mr. (Diamond should
lag behind. Tho whole thing litis a sus
picious look, and Justifies the belief
that tho return Is a gross fraud,
A similar outrago was attempted In
tho legislative return for tho Thirteenth
district. Tho return Judge, who must
havo profited by thoknowlcdgoof the
means by which tho Byorly frauds wero
perpetrated somo years pgo, took his
returns to his resldeuco and placed them
in a book-caso, from which' they mys
teriously disappeared before tho next
morning. Officers of election usually
havo good memories as to tho very fow
figures required In a general return, but
this ouo had not. With his certificate
ho lost his recollection. Ho was com
pelled lo resort to tho return filed In the
Pennsylvania Legislature.

Editor CoLUMniAN Dear Sir
Your readers no doubt aro anxious to
know tho result of our Fair here for tho
benefit of .the It. C. Church under tho
auspices of our exemplary, talented
and energetic. Pastor tho Rev. D, J.
M.'Derraott.
Tho Gold Headed Cano contested so
warmly by Esquires Thornton of Dark
Corner and Kealey of Ccntralia was
awarded to tho former by a majority of
4so votes, tho whole voto being 12801. It
realized $710. This. ' contest created
quiton sensation iu tho neighborhood,
tho friends of both being earnestly ut
work. Tho Caned Justlca of the Dark
Corner labored' under tho disadvantage
of being lu ill health at tho beginning
oi tlio canvass, yet ho returned $11-1
more than his opponent.
Tho mysterious Clock second only to
that far-famed ono In Strasburg on tho
Ithlno contested by Messrs. Gorrell,
uoodrlrtgo and Freck, was given to Mr.
Oorrell by a majority of COO votos.
Tho next articlo canvassed for, was
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, by
tho teachers of tho parish. Mr. Joro
mliih O'Connor, tho donor, was tho hap
py recipient by a majority of 179 votes.
A splendid French Gold-burulshed
China tea set donated by Esquire Thorn
ton was won by Mm. Thomas Geraty, al
though sho had flvo prominent oppon
ents, but llko all good workers you
must ilsocarly and work latoto beat
her.
It was twenty.ilvo cents u voto for
each of tho nbovo articles oxcept tho
Dictionary which was ten cents. Among
tho many articles drawn by chances,
Mr. Patrick Kennedy drew a gold
watch und chain and Miss Cook a largo
mirror.
Tlio proceeds of tho Fair havo not yet
boon ascertained but will probably
reach $3500 clear of expenses, so you seo
it was quito a success.
Our gratltudo and heart-felt thanks
are duo to tho other Religious Denomi
nations for their liberal contributions
on this as well as other occasions for
the erection of this edifice. May tho
Dispenser of all good reward them, is
tho prayer of
Yours Respectfully,

IWining Dangers.
i-tiY.MouTii, uec. ai. Tliero was
nearly a repetition of tlio Avondalo
horror at this placo .yesterday, At
about 10:30 a. m. tho breaker of tho
Nottingham miue.sltuated at thesouth
erii end of the town, was discovered to
do on lire. There were fifty.flvo men
In tho mlno at tho time, which Is one
of tho man-traps, like tho Avondalo
ono with but ono outlet vet. nutwith
standing this, no notice was uiven to
tho mou below that tho building nbovo
was 011 fire. Fortunately, it was dis
covered soon after it broko out, and,
witii great oxort Ion,. wns not only pre
vented from spreading, but was- extin
guished, tlio men below remaining all
tho whlloln ignornnco of their danger,
Tho fire was the result of gross careless
ness on tho part oftho company work
ing it. It appears that two stoves wero
kept in tho breaker to give heat to tho
boys employed thero to pick out tho
slato from tho' coal as It goes in tho
breaker, and iho pipes from theso stoves
were run directly through, tho wood
work of tho building, without any pro
tectlon. Tho result was what any sano
man might havo expected. Tho wood
work heated until it became of tho con-
slstcncy of tinder, and then ignited. At
noon somo of tho men camo up to din
ner, and, although overy oxcrtion was
mado to koep tho ilrofrom thqlr knowl
edge, tho fact leaked out and they bo
camo aware for tho first timo of tho tor-
ritilo fato they had escaped. When
thoy went down again thoy informed
tho rest of tho men in tho mine, nnd
tney at onco got tocethcr and hold nn
indignation meeting, and resolved at
oneo to go up oufof tho mine. When
they got up they assembled tho rest of
tnomen belonging to tho mine in nil
about fcoventy.five and held anothor
meeting, resolving that thoy would uot
again go down Into tho mlno until tliero
wero built two brick chimneys for tho
stovepipes, n watchman placed in tho
building night and day, and a bell at
1110 Dottom of tho shaft, so that thev
should have a signal when thero was
danger at tho surface Slncothat tlmo
tho mlno has not been worked, and tho
in en sun remain lirm. Tho proprietors
Messrs. Thomas Urodrlck & Co., not
being ablo to get any men to supply
tho places of their old hands.havo yield
ed to tholr demonds so far as tho two
cnimnoys nro concerned, nnd their con
st ruction has commenced; but they
think ono watchman in tlio uight is suffi-
lont, una uecllno to placo ono tliero In
tho day tlmo. Tho men say that this
only shows n willingness to protect
their own property, and ns their Jives
aro exposed In the tlay tlmo thoy say
tiioy snail insist on tho two watchmen
and also on tho alarm bell.
STitENcmr op SwdehSihc It may
surprise somo or our readers to learn
that whllo a bar of iron, one inch in ill
amctcr, will sustain twerity-oight tons,
and a bar of Bteel.of tho samo size, will
sustain fifty tons, u bar of spider's silk
of tho samo dimensions, will sustoln
seventy-four tons. This Is based unon
n calculation that u fibre of silk ono
lour thousandth of un inch in diameter,
will sustain fifty-four grains.
