f Chairman Democratic Co. Cora.
A R1"Z.Y Tl TIIEI.IDEL.
It ha9 been a subject of cor.gratulatiou
. in past elections, here in Cambria county,
y&i low personal abuse Las been avoided
y both parties. The canvass . through
fhich we have just passed has been emi
i ; ently so, so far as the press is concerned.
J ! Jut there has been that- done which we
; rust, for decency sake, will never be rc
. 'eated in Cambria county ; and from the
- ebuke it has met at the bands of the peo-
le we think there arc no fears of a repe-
,'ltion of the same dastardly game.
The Democratic ticket was nominated
,.ome three months before the election,
.-.nd the character of every ma.n on that
y icket was fairly presented to the scrutiny
( tf every elector. The columns of a free
1ress, representing Uth political parties,
n -as opn to any charges that could be
,' ; referred against any candidate by any
.J v,pPnsible party. No charges were made,
' ecauso we bclicvo none could be trnth
; t illy made.
V, . On the very eve of the election, how
.rer, after the respective papers had issued
leir last numler before the election, a
ji anderous handbill was got up by some
. '..idnight assa?sin of character, printed
reside of Gunbria county, and, through the
(edium of the post office, scattered all
ii'er the country. We give this beautiful
j Voduction to the world :
AN INSIDE VIEW OF POLITICS.
. . ' TH WAY THE MONET GOES.
' JTia a.truc saying. that if the people knew
i W thtir money was spent, taxes would
!; jt be eafcily collected. This saying applies
-' 'it now, with peculiar force, to Cambria
I, unty. Look for instance at your Toor
; use, where about fifty persons are iadif
ently supported at a cost of $10,000 per
t r. Of course no sane man believes that
: mm is spent for the benefit of the in
J ? -lhe Preut Steward, having made
. much money as he is likely to need, has
, lly consenteJ to withdraw, remaining a
w ml purtner. Tha present Cvunty Treag-
i - !-. -
urer I ting at lat settlement a defaulter, in
the sum of near $4,009.00, and the leading
politicians of town being bis security, the
candidate for Poor House Director, a brother-in-law
of the Treasurer, who has enough
of the County's money to start a Shoo Store,
is nominated, and the Treasurer, being a
cousin of another Director, and a cousin of
the candidate for Sheriff, is to be appointed
Steward i.f the Poor House, bo th-it these
worthies can get their money back, ex ne
cessitate. This is the plan, it may be alter
ed as to form, but not as to substance, But
bad a3 this is, th operations of your Com
missioner's office is far worse. Think of
l pacing your Commissioners $2,400.00 for
uoing the LusiiiCPiS which a good buuness
man can do furty in days. .TL:i:k too of
paying $2,000.00 for the support of uboi:f,
on an average, six persons for a year in your
jail. But you may ask, have we not Audi
tors to settle ail these accounts yearly. Un
fortunately the Auditors seldom know any
thing about their business. They come to
town, and the first persons with whom they
.confer are the Cmmissuners. They toll the
And: o s they must have a Clerk, and that
the Commissioner's Clerk is thtf . proper per
son ; he is emph.ycd, and 63 one of the Au
ditors is always to be Commissioner nest
year, any ana alt bills are soon passed.
They then go to the Poor House; where
the Directors' Clerk and the Commissioners'
Cleik soon settle the accounts and cover all
tracks. This is the system, and it is time
the people knew it. The papers will' never
say a word, because they almost live by re
ceiving exorbitant bills for public printing.
People of Cambria county, whatever denial
of the above may be made, you may lest
assured that the half has not been told.
The remedy is in 3'our hands, and if you do
not use it, you deserve to be taxed to death.
Break up these camps of dishonesty, the
Commissioners and Poor II -usj Directors,
and your burdens will be lightered, other
wise those Lurt'ens will be doubled within a
few years.
This mean, poisonous libel was without
n signature, and was accompanied by a
ticket hea led by. bharswood and Linton,
arid the rcct made up of tha radical can
didates. It elicited the following reply:
CAM DiU A FUEL M AN F XTlt A .
UIDXKillT LYING.
The Detr.ocratic th-ket r.f Cambria cctmfy
was fairly nominated, in broad eliu light, in
an open Convention, v.heru all the world
might wituens the proce. -dins. Prom that
time to the present neither of the two re
publican papers in Cambria county, con
ducted by men responsible for what they
say, have dared to utter a word agiinst the
honesty or fitness of th 3 respective candi
dates, and when we made no chnrge against
the Jlepublican candidates, we sujtposeel the
canvass would be conducted on principle.
We were mistaken. Afoul and slander
ous, midnigjit handhill has gone out, on the
eve of the election, nut signed by the re
spectable Chairman of the Republican Com
mits e 'Dr. I t.ll, i or by ar.y re-nonsib'e

mean enough to father it. No ehult it was

This handbill Contains m re falsehoods
than sentence.-?, and is a. libel n-1 only on
near;' ad tue leading- Democrats in the
county, but ca thi Damjcratic party itself.
Not content with, lying about the candidates,
it has the wickeciiies to slander Col. Mc
Dei milt, a brave soldier, as a heavy default
er without the shadow of truth, as he has
not a dollar of public money in his hands.
Thus are the soldiers, of the Ik-public slan
dered for the purpose of electing a Canadian
Rad.cal Shcrifi" and a poor tool Poor House
Uirector.
It will bo time enough after the election
to trace- up the parties to litis infamous libel.
For the present we can only say toemr fellow
Democrats, be os thus gvav.d ac.aimst
FALSE TICKETS. ESAMISE TVIIRV TU KF.T BE-

Fellow Democrats ! we shall carry the
btate; but let not the election of Judge
Sharswood, and the j ly it will afford, be
dampened by the defeat of a single candidate
on our ticket, especially when the effort is
made through secret midnight handbills.
R. L. Johxtos,
Chairman Dcm. Co. Com.
But it was not needed. .The people of
Cambria- county have too much sense to
swallow a midnight fetch of this kind.
Some preserved the bill as a literary curl
osity, some burnt it, and some even con
verted it to an unseemly purpose but
perhaps not a score of them voted the
ticket which accompanied it. On the
contrary, while the fraudulent ticket con
ppired with Col. Linton's popularity to
throw our friend, Mr. Singleton, behind
his ticket, the reaction on the part of
right-ruinded Republicans, ran the other
Democratic candidates ahead of Shars-
wooci
The Ignorance of the poor devil who
got up the bogu3 ticket is eqvial to his im
pudence, as he spelled Sheriff Ktckman's
naicO wrong, took an "M" out of Com
missioner Flanagan's name, an "A" and
a "t" out of Treasurer McDermitt's,
"IV out of Coroner Stinman's, and mude

of John.
liut enough ! It may Le some consola
tion to the eetters-un of this handbill to
know that they are dcpiscd by every de
cent Democrat and Ko-nublican in Iho
county. .
A. ''lovely girl" in Wisconsin recently
recovered fourteen hundred dollars dam
ages in a breach of promise suit against a
perfidious lover. Her lawyer congratu
lated her on th? unwunt, when she er
claimed, with a furious glance towards
the mulcted defendant, and nervously
clenching her fingers, "I'd give every cent
of it for one good pull at his hair ! "
On the 10th salutes bf one hundred
guns were fired by the Democracy of

firing of cannon were intlulged in, over

Our Johnstown neighbor ia disposed to
be tcvere upon the Chairmaaof the Dem
ocratic County Committee for a short ad
dress issued -by hirn on tfie eve of the elec
tion in' reply to a scurrilous, si'norTinou3
handbill which had - made its appearance.
There was littla time for reflection, and
we had to meet a most dastardly act, yet
if we did iiiju3tice even to the League we
are sorry for it. When a pit'per appeared
playing into. the hands of the radicals, it
n-as natural to suppose it came from their
camp; yet we exonerated ; every d-ceiil
IJepublican from any 'chare in it.
We are under obligations to the Tribune
for cor.iidiring the Chairman no "block
head," especially ?.6 that epithet, never
very flattering, has grown worse in signi
fication since Greeley applied it to the
radicals, but think he should not be quLe
eo bcns-itive on the subject of suztt, confid
ing the crowd who have been to the wind
ward of him for the last few years.
The following very . sensible remarks
appeared in the 1'ittBburgh CJromcle, a
radictd paper, on the morning after th
election. V e commend then to the think
ing portion of the Kepublicana here :
The imperfect returns of the vote on es-
tcriidy in the Western lUserve, Ohio, !hjw
a state of fce-ntinitiit which we confers take
us by surprise. Wc Euppcwed that there
would be in that sectkm little division
amongU the republican relative to the
Amtudiiieiit givmg surrase to black r,eti.
It appears, however, that there has not beta
such unauiruity ia th party on that qiK-s
lion, even on the luaeiTJ, as had been con-
jeetui'td, aud it will very serkusly rairf the
inquiry whether tee can injutttce demand the
South io do what vet refuse to do ourselves.
A defection on the qiution of suffrage ia
strong Republican districts will very natu
rally excite people to consider the propriety
of instating as an absolute condition of resto
ration on the enfranchisement of the blacks
in States where they far outnumber the
white voters, whilst we of the Nerth are un
willing to extend suffrage to the few blacks
ho live in our midst, and whose vote could
exercise no material influence over public
affairs.
Ohio. The Cincinnati Enqvircr pays
the political soccers in this State is per
fectly wonderful. Of the 42,000 liadical
majority which towered 90 high last year,
hardly a yestige remains. There has
ben a change for the Democrat in the
total vote, of at kat ten per cent. The
most aanguine expectatioM of the Democ
racy have been more than realized. The
Uepublicans, putting confidence in the
loud boasts and tatinta of their organs of
what immense rasjoriti-a thcy woald ob
tain, are dumbfounded at ths result. They
had no premonition of tins tremendous
popular hurricane that was setting in. It
struck tbenvlike a thunderbolt, delivered
from a clear tky. They nov sec the
"handwriting on tlte wall," which presa
ge their fat?re doom. Their afroefidancy
in Ohio is irretrievably broken, if wily a
moderate degree of sense whall actuate the
Democratic party.
Ho. Wiujau A. Waixack. -At a
time when cvry man has don his duty,
it 19 perhaps invidious to single out n par
ticular namt to mention with especial
praise, : lkit no one will find fanlt with
our. calling attention to t lie able and ener-
gefic manner ir. which th Chairman of
the Democratic State Committee discharjr
ed ali his duties. The position he occu
pied required capacity -of a peculiar order,
and we rejoice that such a competent and
efficient leader was placed at the head of
the Democratic column during the cam
paign which has just terminated in-a glo
rious victory for the Democratic cause.
Mr, Waixace labored earnestly and faith
fully. He gave all his time to a proper
organization of the Democratic forces,
and we, in common with thousands in
our midst, heartily thank him for the
marked ability he di?playeel in the per
formance of his official duties. Age.

LIucelnlNmii, Indelicate and
, . . Oiscrtdltabie.
From the Cleve'and Herald (R (d.)
Our readers in perusal of the article
copied from the Nevr York World, will
agree in this, that the disc!esure there
made is very indelicate on the part of
Mrs. Lincoln, and sadly discreditable to
that person ; for, of course, .the private
letters there spread Out are published with
the knowledge and consent of the writer.
The New York Times says :
We believe it ia no secret that.ilrs L'nV
coln ia in this city, under an assumed name;
trying to dispose of a quantity of valuable
laces, shawls. jewelry;'nd other article re
ceived as presents by, her while in the VVhi e
lIou.e, from parties interested in securing
her favor. c We have beard mys
terious whisperings that unlets they were re
deemed by parties who had received politi
cal favors at the Lands of their owner, very
damagicg revelations were likely to be made.
The sooner they are made the better for the
party, the country, and all concerned.
No person wcmld be justified in drag
ging Mrs. Lincoln before the public, and
in prtibing the domestic and private affairs
of the White House, so far as she was
instrumental in their administration ; but
Mrs. Lincoln has herself come before the
world, appealing to the public for sympa
thy, and if that appeal results in ' disclo
sures, damaging to herself, she can alone
be held responsible therefor.
It has b;en believed that charity and
oblivion we-ro the cloaks that should cover
Mrs. Lincoln's career as mi9tres3 of the
White Hou3e, and a generous public has
been willing such shooi 1 be the case ; but
if Mrs. Lincoln will not permit it, on her
own hcaa must lie the consequences
Congress has been charitable, too, for it
Is well known that investigation has been
suppressed through regard for the feelinga
of that lady. But we hcpe that nothing
will now be kepi secret, and that we may
know the whole truth in the premises
let the sea pel of investigation cut where it
may.
A lady whose early life was one of very
simple indulgences, and whose sphere was
one of very limited circumfeience, sudden
ly raised to the possession of an income
of seventeen hundred dollars per year,
with a profusion of shawls ranging from
seventy-five dollars to two thousand dol
lars, with dress patterns costing four
thoussnd dollars, with flounce worth one
hundred and fifty dollars, a parasol cost
ing two hundred and fifty dollars, and a
handkerchief valued at eighty dollars,
with diamond rings to match, cannot ex
pect plain, economical people to believe
her wben she complains of being pressed
for means of common subsistence.
The facts are just these: Judge Da
vis, Lincoln's Administrator, reported that
the eetate was worth $75,000. Congress
gave Mrs. Lincoln the President's unex
pired year's salary, and also gave her
V-J,000 besides, the same as was allowed
the late Mrs. General Harrison. .
Congressman Wentworth pressed Mrs.
Lincoln's claim for one hundred thousand
dollars, but Congress did not . think such
a course justifiable. There are other facts
that should see the light, and perhaps
woul.l explain Mrs. Lincoln straightened
circumstances. Among such facts is this,
that a bill for 15,000 for jewelry pur
chased by Mrs. Lincoln, was presented to
Congress and disallowed, and the secret3
of that committee would divulge most
remarkable items that through Mrs. Lin
coln were presented for payment We
hope these things will be made public, and
that it also may bo known what the forty
huge boxes sent to Chicago from the
V bite House, after the death of Mr. Lin
coin, contained. L.et?the country know
the fact that it required an appropriation
of one hundred thousand dollars to make
good the spoiliation of the White House,
and let it be proved who had the benefit
01 such plundering.
