Iii hopes to induce every Democrat in
(he county, not already rx : subset ibcr, to
take our paper, at least during tho canv
paign, wc propose to send the enlarged

with the next or following issue, to any

will be the first among our friends to get

A VOUSTIXR TICKET.
The Radicals of Cambria county, tired
of a square fight against the Democrats,
are endeavoring to reach the county ofiiccs
by a flauk movement that is, neither
more nor less, than by getting a volunteer
ticket of Democrats into the field, and
dividing the Democratic vote, and thus,
between the opposing factions,, elect a
Radical ticket. A pretended Wilmore
Democrat, who styles himself ''Anthro
pon," harps on this string in the Johns
town 2'riluue ; and he must excuse us for
believing that he is neither a Wilmoreao
i jr a Democrat, but a Johnstown radical.
Four years ago the little borough of
Wilmore presented a candidate for Treas
urer, and he was nominated the Ebens
burg delegates voting for him, against an
excellent man of their own. Hence. Wil
more has no claims now, and should feel
grateful to Ebensburg ; therefore, " An
thropon," we think, is not a Wilmoreaa.
Jle publishes his communication in the
Tribune, a radical paper a paper which
rails Democrats "copperheads," "rebel
pympatLisers," and the like whereas, if
he had been a Democrat, ho would have
eent it to the Democrat or Freeman, either
of which Democratic organs would have
published it. Therefore "Anthropon" is
not n Democrat.
The Democratic Convention met on the
fullest notice. Every district in tbecoun
ty vas represented by true Democrats of
th:ir own choofeing. The Convention
was harmonious no charge of fraud or
corruption. Every candidata was. fail ly
i.omiuated. It i3 not pretended to be de
tiled that the candidates all come up to
the Jcfiersonian te-et all "honest and ca
pable." Rut "Anthropon" sympathises
with the large Townships rCarrolI, Clear
field, Allegheny and Washington. They
have more Democratic votes than Johns
town and Ebensburg, even with Wilmore
added. Rut these large Democratic dis
tricts got what they wanted. It is true,
one of these townships Washington
presented a most excellent man for Sheriff.
Jut Allegheny, Clearfield and Carroll
preferred another, as they had a right to
do. None of the large districts had a
candidate for Treasurer, and their dele
gates were divided. . So were the Ebens
burg delegates, one voting for Cox, one
for Kinkcad, and two for M'Colgan.
" More than this, the candidates were all
nominated by the country districts, and if
they are satisfied, .radicals in Johnstown
or Wilmore need not complain. Our
'tickets are never nominated With a view
to the wishes of the radicals. A .Demo
crat who would have objected to Mr.
WCreight, as a nominee, that ho lived
in Johnstown, or to Mr. M'Colgan that
lie Uved in Wilmore, or to Jndge Kinkead
that he lived iu Ebensburg, might think
himself a good Democrat, but we fail "to
"see it."' .' V " ' 4 ' ' "
O, no, Ht. "Anthropon," you are only
damaging Michael M'Colgan, Esq.,-and
other Democrats,' by dating your radical
document at Wilmore. He and his friends
do not sympathise with you, and can only
See in this an opening to let the radicals
into power. t
: ; Already they are striving to amalgat
mate a ticket at Johnstown, to be called
a. "New County Ticket," or any ether
name that will damage the Democracy.'
.No objection is made to any of the
candidates, as to qualifications. They
have all been nominated precisely in ac
cordance with the" usages of the Demo
cratic party, as pursued for the last thirty
years in Cambria county. Whenever the
Democratic masses -desire it th?s system
will be changed until then Democratic
nominations, when fairly made, will be
successful, as they always have been in
the past ; and woo to the Democrat who
seeks, by dividing the serried columns of
his party, to place radicalism in power
in Cambria county.
ISROTIIERLXX12 A.n JURIES.
The editor of the "Radical and Whi"
is a funny old cuss. He wants to know
if it requires more than twelve to consti
tute a jury ia Cambria county? Cer
tainly,-, t he kind of juries that he has had
most business before the Grand Jury
consists of twice that number. It. didn't
require any traverse jury during the war,
as Muttary Commissions did the business,
but in Cambria eounty a. traverse jury
has always consisted "of twelve. Mr. 15.
"asks for information" a thing he very
much needs and we have given it to him.
Ry the way, since our friend lias, in
addition to the R. R., been dubbed 11. II.,
or Register in Rankruptcy, he has taken a
new name, to please the appointing power,
and put "Radical" as the first 'name to
his paper.
Now the old name of Whig, which at
one time we sported in common with
John, represented a conservative organi
zation, and John finds this will no longer
do ; and as fond as he is of riding two
horses at the same time, even when ' they
travel in opposite directions, he ought, for
shame, to drop the "Whig" when he
assumes the "Radical," as the one is pre
cisely a contradiction 'of the other. A
whie blackbird would be juBt as appro
priate as a Radical Whi.
Indeed, in his local column John drops
the Whig and goes the Radical clean or
rather dirty and promises "several sup
plementary Whigs during the campaign."
Rut it's no nse reasoning with the Regis
ter in Rankruptcy. We can't convince
him, and he can't be got under conviction,
unless "by twelve,"
Mrs. Scrratt. Even the Evening
Bulletin admits there is great doubt as to
the guilt of the 'unfortunate woman who
was murdered at Washington two years
sipro, and who-je doom was then 'by loyal
folks thought a just one. Iv-on the fiul
it'tin is shocked nt the story which is just
now put in circulation that David Hun
ter's bloody tribunal formally recommend
ed! to the President to commute M.s.
Surratt's punishment, and that their
recommendation was suppressed and with
held from Mr. Johnson. lie never saw
it or heard of it- Who suppressed it?
Who withheld it? These questions must
be a nswercd. The Military Commission
was a devise of the War Department.
Stanton and Holt contrived it. Their
judgment and, of course, their recommen
dation went to the War Department.
the ar Department must know all
about it. Let it speak. One other wit
ness there was, but his lips are scaled.
The oozo of tha bottom of the Hudson
covers him. This, was Seward's friend
Preston King. He it was. who, in the
dark interval between Mrs. Surratt's sen
tence and execution, kept guard at the
White iIouse.: : He repelled the weeping
daughter. He denied all access to the
Executive. And the day of doom came,
and the bolt wa.' drawn and the manacled
woman foil "six feet," and died with a
broken neck or congested brain ; and a few
weeks later, the man who barred the
gates of mercy, threw himself otf a Jersey
City ferry boat, and, with loaded pockets
and a conscience burdened, sank to -the
bottom of the river. But Holt and Stan
ton still live to tell what became of the
recommendation to mercy I Phil. Aje.
ohn Albert. Esn. . of Greenville T&h.
non county, has in possession a chicken,
which was hatched on his premises, hav
ing four fully developed legs and. feet.
Those supernumerary members, which
proceed from the body, independently from
the other legs and . posterior to . them,
manifest a slight motion when the chicken
move, but do not assist in walking ; they
do not touch the ground, but stand hori
zontally indirection to the length of the
body. - Thi3 monstrosity in the feathered

was determined to get a draught of some- j

A letter from Rome says that among

. The boilers in the Fulton cotton mill,
at Lancaster, Pa., exploded on the morn

part cf the building and killing some nine
of the operatives and injuring several oth

square, redounding twice from the earth
in its passage. .
The Lancaster Express, a Radical
sheet, says that Thad Stevens had bought
lots in several cemeteries, but finding that
there were not "any of God'a children"
buried in them, he cancelled his purchases.
A "copperhead" organ remarks , that
"He seems to think as little of his grave
as he does of lus bed." r
- In Mexico negroes vote and possess

A man named O'Neill, says the Ve
nango Sji-ciafor of the 12th, employed on
the Allegheny Valley R. R., was drown
ed near the mouth of Pij Scrubgrass, on
SaturJay last,', hilst attempting to ford the
rivcr. on horseback. His body, was re
covered the same day. " Another man,
name unknown, was drowned whilst
bathing near the same place, half an hour
afterward.
-Immediately succeeding the surren
der of the city cf Mexico.. Gen. IJaez, the
Juarist 'commander, ordered the nuns to
vacate the convents within forty-eight
hour, and, in accordance with the order,
on the 23d of June the eight hundred and
sixty nuns were driven out. Henceforth,
it i3 said, there are to be no more convents
in Mexico. This is tho "liberal" course
pursued, by the self-styled "Liberal party"
of Mexico. : ':
A terrible murder was perpetrated
about midnight on Friday last, in Spring
field, IU. An industrious and . sober
laborer, by tho name of John Graham,
beat out the brains of his wife while she
was asleep. When arrested, he confessed
the murder, said he was drunk when he
committed the deed, but . was jealous of
his wife and wanted to get rid of her.
They have been married about ten years,
and have four young children. Graham
heretofore bore a good character.
Water is purified by a French chem
ist by. using alum. Ha states that two
grair.3 of alum to a pint of water will
clarify water which is unfit to" drink, and
the taste of the alum will not bo perceiv
ed. Another French chemist, in Algiers,
shows that muddy water will became
drinkable in the course of from seven to
seventeen minutes, by. adding half a grain
of potlassi alum to every quart of water.
Ten years ago a citizen of St, Louis
county, Missouri, made a will, in which
ho provided that certain of his flaves, ten
in number, sliould each receive five hun
dred dollars on condition of their emigra
ting to Liberia, or "such other country as
might be set apart for free persons of
color," The legatees have never gone to
Liberia, but they havo sued for their mon
eyand got it, on the ground that Missouri
was "such other .country," ' &c, '.
Stnall, but Characteristic,
We think'it is justifiable, says the Pitts
burgh Post, to charge that the attempt of
some Radical editors to traduce the char
acter of Judge Sharswood, and to raise
up a personal prejudice among the people
is unworthy of honorable men. We have
no right to- expect anything -else,- for the
game has been invariably pursued against'
every democratic candidate, no matter
how virtuous or upright. Rut we have a
right to protest against ii, and to give it
its right name.
We are a w are that it is unreasonable
to look for a twenty-inch shell to proceed
out of the moutli of a', four-inch piece.
Things must work, of course, according
to their - calibre. The idea designed to
be conveyed by these editors, to the popu
lar mind, is something deemed by them
very prejudicial to the character of Judge
Sharswood.:. They would teach that Judge
Sharswood is in favor of something that
will injure the people ; whereas it is im
possible for a' fair man, like him, to enter
tain or sanction any such thing. These
editors know better. They know that he
is not the sort of man they are endeavor
ing by ingenious, but sophistical represen
tations to make him appear. They cite
a bgal opinion given by him several years
ago in the performance of his professional
duties as proof that he would do something
that would injure his fellow .citizens.
This is not only nnju3t, but it is false.
The- sum and substance - of Judge
Sharswood's opininon referred to, in com
mon sense language i?, that men should
fairly abide by fair contracts ; and that if
ft man makes a bargain to pr.y for a hone
or a horse in gold, he ought to pay it in
gold, or it? equivalent. And this is precise
ly the sort of justice that ought to prevail
between man and man. We would be
loath to believe that the Republican candi
date, Judge Williams, would advocate or
sustain a contrary doctrine.
Go on Radicals ; you think the people
are so easily gulled. We think you will
find out pretty soon that you : have made
a slight mistake, . Reing small, it is, of
course, of no great conscqueuce. You
can take your time to correct it.
