pornrleii amt Is therefore I he he tt medium
for nilvtrllilnjj In thlt lection ofthe Statei
Xtao Convention.
Tho Convention on Hominy last was
fully attciulctl, every district In tho
county sending delegates. For tho first
tlrao tho two election districts of
Bloomsburg were separately represent
ed In Convention, thus doubling tho
former representation of Bloom town
ship. This chango is Just, regard being
had to the prlnclploof numbers, and is
in conformity with tho Standing Rules
Which regulato nominations in this
county. Hut wo are fully convinced
that tho frco vote or somo other plan
for full nud equal representation of tho
peoplo should bo applied to Blooms
burg and other populous districts, so
that delegations from them should bo
divided between candidates in Conven
tion according to tho real preferences of
tho voters at tho delegate elections.
Such arrangement also would prevent
tho unduo influence of any locality in
tho county upon nominations. In con
nection with the representation of dis
tricts in proportion to their democrat
ic volo, it would very greatly lmprovo
our delegate system and would render
it much morojiistnnd satisfactory than
it is at present.
Tho principal question of contest in
tho convention was tho nomination of
a candidate for Sheriff. Therowero no
less than ten candidates presented for
popularsupport at tho primary elections
but in Convention tho contest was nar
rowed to four. "Captain Millard of Scott
wa3 nominated upon tho seventh vote
by a voto of 30 to 21. Ho is a respec
table gentleman well known in tho
county, served with credit in tho lato
war and underwent imprisonment in a
Confederate prison. Ho is now a mer
chant in tho town of Espy, and former
ly hold tho offlco of Postmaster at
Owngevillo.
John It. Yoho of Mlfflu was nomin
ated for Assoclato Judgo upon tho fi rst
voto with special refereuco to his loca
tion in the county, and to his prolonged
servico as a member of our party. No
candidato for this nomination being
presented from tho northern sido of tho
ivi tho question was between tho two
gentlemen proseuiuu uy xwiin nnu
Mifflin townships.
Tho nomination of Mr, Reeder (now
of Catawissa but formerly of Franklin
township) for county Commissioner, is
very generally and heartily approved.
Ho is a fit and worthy inau and will
faithfully attend to tho interests of tho
county,
Tho nominations for Jury Commis
sioner, Coroner and Auditor aro .well
distributed and arc, in all respects, un
objectionable. For tho Congressional nomination
tho Convention named tho Editor of
this journal and selected good Conferees
whoso object it will bo to regard the
public considerations connected with
tho question of nomination as well as
tho dictates of private friendship. It is
their hope and expectation that theso
will bo found to bo perfectly compati
ble with each other; but in any event
their duties will bo faithfully perform
ed. For ourselves w.o tender to tho
gentlemen of tho Convention. our very
slnccro .thanks for tho hohor conferred
upon us by their recommendation.
Bepresentatlvo conferees wero chosen
wlthoutlnstructions, to moot conferees
from Montour county, to notnlnato n
candidate for Representative. Tho issuo
made in tho Convention between two
sets of Conferees was tho result of a
misconception. Tho second set had
been selected beforehand for mention
In tho Convention upon the supposition
that tho first set was to bo proposed un
der instructions for- a particular candi
date. Both sets, in point of fact, wo
believe, held tho samo position with
reference, to concurrence in a Montour
nomination, and their common posi
tion on that subject was, wo believe,
that of nearly every member of tho
Convention. Tho Conferees selected
aro gentlemen of experience, integrity
and firmness, who will insist, under all
circumstances, upon a nomination ac
ceptable to tho peoplo of this county,
and carry out fully tho wishes of tho

THE
Bradley's Truthfulness.
Tho editor of tho Republican In his
paper of July 27th, In an attempt to
bolster up Mr. Morour and crcato for
him npolltlcnt reputation which ho does
not possess, says " The Congressional
Globe states In every Instanco In which
tho yeas and nays wero called, that Mr.
Moreur voted for a tariff and against Its
reduction. Upon tho amendment of
Butler to redttco to $5, ho voted In tho
negative. We speak by the records
Tho Italics in tho foregoing quotation
nro our own nnd wo ask nny reader of
ordluary Intelligence whether It Is not
n direct assertion on tho part of tho ed
itor of tho Republican that ho speaks
from tho printed ovldonco in tho Globe.
What clso can ho mean, by speaking
"by the record." But lo and behold, In
this week's Issuo of tho Republican wo
find tho following extraordinary state
ment : " ice did not quote the Globe as
aulhoriti upon this vote." Wo call this
as pleasing an instanco of baro faced
mendacity n3 wo havo ever had offered
us even by a Republican editor. Hero
Is a blunt denial of an assertion which
is in print and beforo tho public. Ho
further says( that Kelly wroto to him
on tho subject and told him so, which,
perhaps, is true, ho says also "Kelly is
better authority than tho Globe, nn
opinion to which ho is perfectly wel
come, but which wo positively decllno
to accept. Wo had fully as lief rest our
belief in tho editor of tho Republican
and with about as much chanco of cor.
rectness. Tho Republican's article cuds
as usual, with tho statement that this
paper not being ablo to provo anything
ha3 descended to falsehood, iC-c. Wo
havo nothing to say in reply, but to
commend tho two numbers of his paper
to tho people and would remark, simply,
that if wo wero over guilty of falsehood
wo wero not fools enough to deny it with
tho printed proof of It In tho possession
of half tho peoplo In the county.
Old War Cries.
Tho Republican press havo begun tho
campaign by using tho old war cries of
tho past, and appealing to tho nearly
extinct passions of tho peoplo. Their
papers teem with such words as "tral
tors," "rebels," "copperheads," &c, as
though party success could bo achieved
by such means. Tho people aro not to
bo deceived by such stale tricks. They
will decide between tho parties upon
tho living lssuc3 of to-day. Upon this
subject tho New York Times, n leading
Republican paper Justly says :
To a certain class of politicians, tho
rebellion will furnish a themo for stumn
speeches as long as they live. Thoy
win nover ceaso to lavisn encomiums
upon tho loyalty of their candidate, or
to bean coals of flro unon tho Connor-
headism of his opponent. Tho old sto
ry will bo told over and over acrain at
each succeeding election. Tiiey will ro
mind impatient audiences that Repub
licans saved the Union which tho Dem
ocrats would havo destroyed. In what
tno republican party did during tho
war, and what tho samo party has done
sinco tho war, their patriotic imagina
tions win discover reasons for Keeping
it in power at least to tho end of tho
century. Thus, and thus only, will
theso small politicians talk. Thoy havo
their uses, wo suppose, in tho party or
ganization, but thoy aro not its safest
guides, nevertheless.
North Carolina.
In another column wo publish an edi
torial from tho World on tho troubles
in North Carolina. The arbitrary, reck
less courso of Gov. Holden and his
hirelings disgusts many of tho Repub
lican party, notwlthstandingthat Grant
endorses his course. Tho New
York Times, a Radical paper of much
inilucncc, has tho following:
Gov. Holden, however, has sot him
self up as a sort of dictator proclaim
ing counties in a stato of insurrection,
perpetrating all manner of arbitrary
acts through agencies unknown in a
freo community, holding persons in
custody in opposition to Judicial orders,
and actually proposing to try them by
military commission.

terestedness of his motives nnd tho im

paper, tho Raleigh Standard, boasts
that ho Is "indorsed" by the President.
Wo bono that tho President in his "in

Poor Directors.
It is not to bo forgotten that three
Directors of tho Poor for tho Bloom
District nro to bo chosen the present
year, and that it will bo necessary to
make nominations of proper persons
for election. Tho Directors will serve
for three year terms, commencing 1st
of April next and will bo chosen upon
the plan of tho freo voto by tho electors
of Bloomsburg and of the several town
ships Included in tho Poor district.
Either by a meeting of tho citizens of
tho district, or by a Convention of del -egates,
tho proper nominations should
bo mado. Under tho plan of voting
which applies to tho choico of those
officers, as wo understand it, two Direct
ors only should bo nominatod and voted
for by tho Democrats of tho district.
Tho third Director will bo chosen by
tho Republicans in caso tho voto shall
bo political.
As to tho mode of voting, tho provis
ion of tho law of last session Is, that
each voter "may distribute his votes to
and among candidates as he shall think
flt.or may bestow them all upon ono can
didato, and wlion three directors aro to
bo chosen ho may givo ono vote nud n
iialf to eacli of two candidates; in all
cases tho candidates highest in voto to
bo chosen." As tho Democrats havo a
clear majority but not a three-fourths
voto In tho district, it follows that thoy
can elect two Directors nnd tho Repub
licans one,and neither party can prevent
the other from obtaining their proper
share of representation In tho board to
bo chosen.
Republican Assessments.
Tho Republicans are crottintr hard un
for money, and havo laid a tax on all
Government employees, variously esti
mated at from ono to threo per cent of
their salaries. Whoro aro tho wealthy
and gushing memncrs ot tho party who
think nothing of giving Mr. Grant,
thousand of dollars at a noi when thov
are in need of tho Presidential service?
Aro they dead or discouraged? Or is it
possiblo that thoy foreseo tho comlncr
downfall of their rotten party,that par
ty which is only held together by a
common plunder, and do not think It
advlsablo to risk anything on a dying
animal. Bo that as it may it Is a very
small pleco of business to demand high-wayraan-liko
"your money or your
(official) life," and nono but a party in
extremity wouia stoop to so low a
means of recruiting their treasury. This
Is tno precious document.

BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY,
Tho War on North Carolina.
It would bo Interesting to know
whothor thoProsldent has really author
ized tho Governor of North Carolina to
enlist a standing nrmy and mnko war
upon tho peoplo of that State. This,
stripped of all surrounding', Is what
that Governor Is doing, nnd In theso
procedures ho claims most positively
that ho has tho aid, encouragement,
support, nnd countcnaneo of tho Feder
al Executive. It adds color to this
claim that tho President has ordered a
forco of United States artillery to North
Carolina his latest directions to that
effect bearing date nt Long Branch on
the 2!M Inst. But, not to prejudge tho
case, wo wilt give, first, tho circumstan
ces of this war upon tho unfortunato
peoplo of North Carolina, and next tho
declarations of the Givernor that ho is
actiug with tho consent nnd npproval
of tho President, and then leavo It for
tho friends of Mr. Grant to declare
whether ho has really given tho law
less and bloody-minded authorization
claimed.
Tho circumstances nro theso: During
this year there havo boon in tho North
Carolina counties of Alamanco and
Caswell sovcral homicides ono of a
Radical Stato Senator, ono of a negro,
nnd ono committed upon n family of
whiles, Conservatives in politics, nil of
whom were slain in their own homes.
The fact that theso homicides were com
mitted on thoso of both parties suffi
ciently relieves them of any suspicion
of having been prompted by political
reasons; and there is no reason to sup
poso but what tho civil law, if allowed
to operate, would havo been qulto sufil
clcnt In tho premises. Disdaining, how
ever, a resort to that instrumentality,
and claiming to act with tho approval
of President Ornnt, tho Governor
(Holden) Immediately set on foot an
army not calling out tho militia, but
regularly enlisting an army under tho
command of an East Tennesseo bush
whacker named Kirk, formerly an offi
cer in Brownlow's militia. Marching
tills forco into Alamanco and Caswell,
tho Governor proclaimed thoso counties
under martial law, arrested very near
ono hundred citizens, ordered them for
trial by a military commission, and
spread such terror by these proceedings
nnd tho excesses of his soldiery that
many of tho citizens of tho vleinago
fled to Virginia in fear of their lives.
In behalf of thoso held for military trial
a writ of habeas corpus was prayed out
beforo tho Chief Justice of tho Stato
and served upon Kirk, on which that
worthy remarked that lhi3klndof thing
was "played out," nnd drovo tho civil
officer away. Other attempts to tervo
liko writs having been made, ho tears
up the writs and claps the officers serv
ing them in his guardhouse. On this
the Chief Justice is applied to for an
attachmcntngainst Kirk and an order
to tho Sheriff to ralso tho posse comila
tus to executo tho same. Tho poor old
man, overawed perhaps by tho Govern
or's boast that "Grant backed him,"
proves falso to his duty, refuses tho
attachment, and declares that all ho can

That functionary, in n communication
now before us, replies: "I havo declared
" tho counties of Alamanco and Caswell
"In a state of insurrection, and havo
" taken military possession of them,"
"and "I do not seo how I can surreudcr
"tho insurgents to tho civil authority

in other words, I havo proclaimed mar

martial law I cannot respect tho civil
courts. In this attitude, then, tho un
fortunato peoplo of North Carolina re
main: thojudiciary impotent for their
protection, while tho Executive, with
tho claimed approval of President Grant
makes war upon them.
So much for tho facts; now for tho
evidence going to show tho approval of
the President. On tho very day on
which tho Governor dates hl3 letter to
tho Chief Justice, tho Raleigh Stand-
ard, organ of tho Governor, says that
tho President has just written from
Long Branch to Governor Holden to say
that he had ordered moro United States
troops to North Carolina, aud then con
Unties: "A largo number, armed with
" the bcstfasl-shoolinr guns, aro expect

next day tho organ chronicles tho arri
val of a largo detachment of troops
"armed with the bcstfasl-shooting guns,"
"and snccrlngly adds: "Does tho Prcsi

"should think so."
Now, is there not something horriblo
