We Red Republicans, hearin' that Carl
Skurz waa comin' to enlighten us about poli
tics, got up flaming handbills, with big let
ters, as black as a nigger, and sent them all
over the county, but what waa our surprise,
when Tuesday evening came, the Boys in
Blue as we called them, didn't turn out,
and. in course, the meetin' was very small.
There were two hundred Red Republicans,
ten Black Republicans, three hundred Demo
crats, one hundred ladies and wonieu, and
about one hundred aud fifty boys. It was a
fair night, and the meetm' was held on El
lis's Public Square. It was after eight
o'clock befre anybody appeared, but me
and Mr. Boggs sent some boys down to sing,
mid some men to blow horns, and they blow
cd a tune that had a psalm set too it. In
the meantime one Mr. Hunt hunted a soft
place for the meetin', s that the people
could stretch themselves without exposing
iheir nakedness, or hurtiug their feelings.
After mc and Mr. Hoggs told the speaker
wb:it to say, we came down and Mr. Boggs
opened the meetin' with prayer by saying,
"be wished to God the boys could be kept
qnit t." The boys shouted amen, and kept
on yelping like WooJ hounds. Me and Mr.
llg&s then organized the meetip' by ap
jKiiiting two young men and fifteen boys as
officers, from ft paper that we wrote down At
the office before we knew who wovild be there.
The pan es in course dirin't fit, Lut Carl
Shurz didn't know that, and so all went on
smoothly. We preferred young men before
old ones, on the "Reconstruction principle."
People kept asking where the meetin' was,
which insulted us so much that we told them
that it hal went to the station to meet the
speaker, after which several country people
went home dtsap poin .ed, which tue and Mr.
Btigg didn't much like.
Mr. Hughes, of Wilmore, got funny and
paid twice t! at if the speaker didn't soon
come he would address the meetin' himself.
(Lafter ) While this laff waa going on,
K'ltni! one cried out, "a fight! a fight!" si:d
the litle knot of men, women, children, nig
pevs and dogs scattered, and Cari Shurz
leaning on nuother Teuton's arm mounted
the scaffold. Mo and Mr. Boggs sent a fel
low round to cry "fight" just to make room
for the distinguished stranger, who had
sobered up enough to "talk Injun." Having
reached the goal of safety, the speaker broke
forth in a torrent of broken English, or bro
ken German, I don't know which. Two
fellows cheered him simultaneously at once,
but one fellows voice give out, as if he had
swallowed a potato, arid the other follow got
sheered and his voice died away like th' light
of a sky rocket. This was all the cheerir'
wis txoae, for me and Mr. Bisgs had told
them uot to cheer, lest they might skeer the
speaker, and Mr. Swank of the Tribune
who was there to put down what Mr. Shurz
would miss, and thus make the speech read
well on paper. Owing to the noise of the
boys Mr. Shurz missed some paragraphs of
he speech that he said at Pittsburgh and
other places. Mr. Shurz Is about the sizeot
a man that is five feet eight inches high, and
would weigh about as much as a man that
weighs one hundred and fifty pounds. He
Mated that he had been hired by the Red
Republican Committee of the "re construct
ed" to make speeches at the North, and as
bis voice was weak he would like .is little
noise as pss-ible. By void he meant stom
tick of course. He said, as me and Mr.
Hoggs bad tuld him, that the bonds ought
to be paid iu gold and our party was pledged
to do so, altho' it Hasn't the bargain at first.
and it would take seven hutdred mti'ions of
dollars additional tax to do this. This be
gan to make the people stare and look on
easy, so Mr. Boggs and me pulled his coat
fail and told him to talk about Oie tariff.
This lie didn't hear, but sat down, thinkiug
that his lime was up. I Uarnxl Mr. Boggs
and he blamed me and we would have Jit it
vut on that line only f r the "Glee Club"
which struck up tile "Digger Song" to
"Yankee Doodle," ia commemmorashun of
Gen. Grant's explorations among the Inji
ins. This Digger song was sung so well that
ere could almost see the motions, after
which we adjourned to maet again at Lan
caster. Mr. Boggs and me tried to get up some
enthusiasm, but the speakers words fell 'ke
a stone in a bottomless well. We will try
it again, however, and run the tariff instead
of the bonds. I think this will kindle up
the "Boys in Blue," and the toil men of all
parties and the niggers too. Nous verrons,
which means we will see.
Yours in the wool,
Nasbt, Ja.
N. B., which is notabene. The Tribune's
devil put a cipher too much in and made the
mcctin' 7000 instead of 700. which the edi
tor, bein' a man of verasit y, will correct ver
bally about home, and it won't do any harm
abroad. If you put down the numbers,
don't make it more than 16,000, and then
watch your devil, or your verasity might be
impeached too. X.
. P. R., which is postscript. Me and Mr.
Boggs is going to have resolutions prepared
for the next meetin' to put ourselves on the
record, so that if Grant is elected we can get
into offis. N.
P. S., which ia postscript No 2. Me and
Mr. Boggs told Carl Shurz not to talk any
"nigger" here, bat to tell them folks at
Lancaster that are purty black, tbat it was
thought out west that Grant and Colfax'a'f
traces of nigger blood, in them. This we
think will make them many votes down
there. N.
riously Tnjcecd. Mr. Thomas Dur
bin, Sr., of Clearfield township, was thrown
from his wagon, ia consequence of his horses
becoming frightened and unmanagable, on
Saturday last, while deccending a bill in the
vicinity of Loretto, and received injuries of
a very serious if not dangerous character
one of the wheels of the wagon, which had
but recently received a new tyre, passing
along and stripping the flesh almost entirely
from his right arm, besides fracturing one
of the bones. He now lies in a very preca-rioush-ondition
near Loretto, being toojsevere
ly injured to be removed to his own home.
Nice Fruit. Our estimable friend, John
B. Ross, Esq., of Black lick township, pre
sented us the other day with a basket of the
finest apples we have seen this season. One
of the varieties, known as "Peck's Pleasant'
was as large as the common Pound apple,
of a yellowish white color, entirely sweet,
mellow and luscious. The other was a very
fine red apple, slightly acid, but remarkably
palatable. A few such horticulturists as
Esq. Ross will convince our lowland neigh
bora that the mountain is c f ail places the
fiueat frail country.
Altooxa Citt, Aug. 31, 1868.
Friesd Mao The only question of Interest
exciting this community Just now is of a politi
cal nature. Go wheie you will politics is the
absorbing topic of conversation. What won
der then if my letters should partake more of
a political than general news character?
Saturday evening last will long be remem
bered by the gallant Constitutional Union De
mocracy, who turned oat by the acre on that
occasion to listen to that able defender and el
oquentjehampron of Democracy, thebrave Gen.
Irvin, of Miiflin county, who addressed the im
mense assemblage ia one of the most Impas
sioned, forcible and convincing speeches made
here during the campaign. It was replete with
sound sense and irresistible argument, and was
totally devoid of the clap-trap logic bo freely
indulged in by the scallawag carpet-baggers of
the Radical persuasion. The meeting was the
largest and most euthusiastic of the campaign.
Od the same evening the shirt-tail rangers
had a tcrchlight procession aiid (m)ass meeting.
I would Koggest to the Burley chap who headed
the procession to be a little raore careful of his
linen, for "all'ia not'gold that glitters." There
were from 100 to 150 persons in the procession,
all armed with murderous weapons. Some of
them were Penitentiary-deserving rowdies, for
they almost killed one or two young Democrats
who happened to be in their way. One quiet,
inoffensive young man named Farlaud was
struck over the head and arme by one of these
blackguards, aud so severely injured that the
attending physician is afraid his wounds will
produce deth.
1 his fizzle of Radicalism was addressed by
some three or four speakers. The first one
waa an atpirnt for the U. S. Senate, and he
was'aVorse sardinehan our own lovely Swartz.
The speaker had such a dirty load to Hall that
he almost swamped in the effort. I have heard
it said that Col. Hall was a good talker that
he waa above clap trap, abusive slang nd wil
ful misrepresentation, and that he would dis
cuss iiving i.-sues in a manly, honest spirit.
Oh. how sadly I was disappointed! I waa not
prepared to hear such a belching gasconade
There was neither argument, sense, decency or
got-.! bieeding disr.'ajeJ in all he said for the
two mortal hours he swaggered and foamed,
ranted and panted, ripped and tore, bellowed
and bio wed from one end of the platform to the
other. I will sul i-It it to any man who heard
it, be he Democrat or Republican, whether
such an harangue wonld not have been a dis
grace to a fifth -rne tax room politician 1 This
aspirant for a seat in the U. S. Senate resides
in Hariiaburg.
The iici.i L(,uiker cn the stand was a acalla
wag carpet-bag "loilist" from John3town
uamud Hurt, who said he "jist came among us
to git an insight into the way thimgs were
working," after which he proceeded to tell
whit -.: niiguty man Daniel J. Morrell waa
that he was one of the foremost men of the
age that he was a poor man's friend that he
had given on of his own pocket $25,000 to
biiiid homes t,r poor men. (All of which will
doubtless be news to the Johnstown people.)
He further said that Daniel J. was no tyrant,
and fiat a laboring man could approach hint if
he had busiress. lie also remarked that Col.
Linton was s good, clever "feller" and a sol
dier of some reputation, but that he wanted too
nir.ny oifices. Bunt then hunted a seat, and
sat d:wn greatly latigned.
The next ?uter on thevcstrum waa a brave
Bpay master .jidier from llollidaysbu'-g, Benny
L. Hewit by nam" o the credit of th;s spea
ker, however., be it said that ne told some truths
which his P.ajicul hearers did not seem to rel
ish. Uc said that Col. Linton was a brave
r-nl Jier, a good lawyer, a true patriot and a pure
and honest man but nary word had he to s ay
about Daniel J. Morrcll. This kind of talk
did not suit the- loil" shirt tail rangers, and
they manifested their disapprobation very un
mistakably, and soon succeeded iu bringing the
speech to a close. Thus cuded this grand
Radical fi.zle, and ihui ends the letter of
Yours, kc, T. I. M.
Wilmoee, Sopt. 1. 1868.
Dear Freeman By writteu notices posted
up in all the conspicuous places about town,
the citizens of Wilmore ar.d the surrounding
country were called upon to meet In the
Pub.lc .Square, in f.VhI borough, on Saturday
evening last, for the purpose of organizing a
Grant and Colfax club, and to transact such
other business a the npcrsiHes of the partv
regioned, ?.s well as to listen to "a big talk" !
from the v:llr-? school master. The hour
(7 p. m.) arrived, and so did the meeting.
Joseph Mi'.Icr, Esq., J. P., Banker, called
the meeting to order by req'iesting David
P-rber, Esq., to act as presiding officer.
Dave couldu't see it, how-eve, and retired in
disgrs:. Vico Prt-fldccts or Secretaries
were appointed. Trie sflyjl master afore
said, a long, lean, cadaverous looking chap
from away down "tu Maine" or somewhere
about that region, was introduced and talked
for about two h- ur-:, kving the audience in
doubt as to what side of the great political
question hewas on. .MT.ier (O. J) then in
troduced himself, and tpake some not
much. He challenged any Democrat present
to come to the Bland and discuss the ques
tions of the day, whereupon Zlr. David Kin
ney, one of the "Boys in P!ur' aud a good
sound D?ruocrat, mounted the ftand, and
pitched into tne Radicals with au earnest
ness and eloquence tut astonished the few
of that persuasion who were present. As
no Grant man was willing to undertake a
reply, and as the Democrats composed about
nine-tenths "f the crowd, tney coucluded to
make a little change in the programme and
hold a Seymour and B'.air mectirg. P. D.
Skelly, Esq., was called upon wnd delivered
an e'onuentand logical speech, in which he
showed up the inconsistencies and destruc
tive tendencies of the Radical policy. He
was fallowed in a neat and telling speech by
Mr. James Lemon, of Johnstown, whj hap
pened to be present. Mr. Lemon is also one
of the "Boys in Blue" who fought for the
onion and wauis it. .
At the conclusion of Mr. Lemon 'a speech
the vnvrt;nr; adjourned with Dine tremendous
cheers for Seymour and Biair, and so ended
the effort to organize a "Grunt and rolltax
club iu Wilmore.

Johitstowk, Sept. 1, 1868.
Dear Freeman A match game a base
ball between the Mountaineer Club of your
place and the Kickenepauling Club of Johns
town, occurred on the grounds of the latter,
on Friday afternoon last, resulting in a vic
tory for the Kicks, the score standing Kicks
27 ; Mountaineers 19. The game was closely
contested, both sides doing excellent playing.
On the third inning, Mr. A. Y. Jones, catcher
for the Mountaineers, while running to the
first base, fell and sprained one of his ankles,
which rendered him hors du combat and no
doubt bad its effect in determining the game,
as Mr. Jones has probably no superior as a
base ballist in the State. B? this as it may,
both sides seem anxious te have another whit
at each other, and the 14th of the present
month as the time and Altoona as the place
is being agitated. What say the Mountain
eer boys'?
Your Club was accompanied on its visit
here by about one hundred citizens of Ebena
burg, among whom I noticed three of "ye
jovial printer men,'-" namely. Messrs. Hutch
inson and James, of the AUeghanian, and
"the other Mac," of the Freeman.
Two young black rascals named Patter
soa, a few days ago assaulted and attempted
te ravish a little white girl, nine years of
age, daughter of Frederick Boiler, of this
place. She was returning with her father's
cow from the pasture field near Wood vale,
when the young scoundrels set upon her,
and in attempting to accomplish their hell
ish designs tore nearly all the clothing from
her person. They were arrested and lodged
in the lock up but have since been released.
Their devotion to the cause of "progress"
entitles them to the utmost consideration
from the party of "great moral ideas."
The democratic Club was entertained on
Saturday night last, by Daniel McLaughlin,
Esq., in au able and comprehensive address.
He was frequently interrupted by bursts of
applause. A transparency bearing the por
traits of Seymour and Blair has been placed
over the entrance to the club room.
The Radical mass meeting on the Public
Square, on Tuesday night last, was in effect
a fizzle. The speech of Charley Schurz was
entirely devoid of sound logic, and failed to
excite the least enthusiasm. Some of the more
respectable and honest Rads. went away
greatly disgusted with the tone of his ha
rangue. A few more such speeche? in this
county would be of great benefit to the De
mocracy. Among the students going from this place
to St. Francis College, Loretto, I notice my
clever and promising young friend, Mr. Geo.
J. Akers.
Two Johnstowners, Dr. Wcrder and Mr.
Edward Frattery, left this place on Friday
night last for California, whither they go to
seek their fortunes.
Seymour and Blair Clubs are being organ
ized all over the county. A meeting for the
purpose of forming a club will be held at
Conemaugh Station on next Friday evening.
Yours, &c.
Bbief Mention. Mr. R. R.Thomas will
serve up the first oysters of the season at his
Saloon on High street, this (Thursday) even
ing, and lovers of these delicious bivalves
will do well to be on hand to er.j y the rich
feast. See advertisement in our paper

Westmoreland county, which we are assured
can be bought at a greac bargain. The
Ebensburg Foundry is now in full blast, and
the new proprietors are prepared to turn out
work whieh will bo a credit to their me
chanical skill and a strong inducement for
all who need anything in their lide to pa
tronize them. See their advertisement and
then see them, if you wih any article they
manufacture. Mr. Geo. Norris, of Derry
township, Westmoreland county, was kick
ed on the head and body by a fractious
horse, on Sunday morning week, and so se
verely injured that he ditd in a few minutes
after. Two pigs with two legs each, and
one with onlv one lez, were found among a
litter of nics produced bv a sow in West
moreland county on Suoday week. Mr.
D. J. Evans, has removed his tailoring es
tablishment to Heade'a new building on Cen
tre street, three doors from High street, and
is now better prepared than ever tq give his
customers "fats." Hon. i. nomas voinns.
of Philadelphia, and his amiable lady are at
present on a visit to Ebensburg, called here
by the serious illness of his brotner, Air.
James Collins. Dr. Balford was unavoid
ably detained from making his usual month
ly professional trip to this place on Monday
of last week, but will bo here punctually
on the fourth Monday of the present month.
Patrick Dullenty, an employee of the
Cumbria Iron Company, was1 seriously in
jured, a few days since, by the blowing up
of a puddling furnace. Several others jere
slightly injured at the same time. SanN
McKinney, a tailor who worked with Mr.
Thomas Elway, of Altoona, for a number of
years, but who was receutly employed about
the Pennsylvania Railroad Yards, at Pitts
burgh, had his heel badly crushed by a car
wheel passing over it, a few days since, and
died of lock jaw shortly afterwards.
A New Establishment. Mr. Andrew
Mies announces through our paper to-day
that he has commenced the manufacturing
to order of all kind of gentlemen's wearing
apparel, in the well-known Suppes build
Ing, Clinton street, Johnstown, aud we
know from personal observation that he uas
a very large stock of the best cloths, cassi
meres, etc., on hand, which his long experi
ence as a merchant tailor and foreman of the
Cambria Iron Co.'a tailoring department
will enable him to manufacture in the latest,
neatest and best style of the art. Our gen
tlemen friends will find Mr. Moses a good
workman and a clever, deserving, prompt
and obliging business man.
In thk Feont Rank. No town of the
same sire and few of larger dimensions can
lay claim to a better arranged or more am
ply filled hardware, tinware and general
variety store than the one kept by our over-the-way
neighbor. Mr. Geo. Huntley. No
housekeeper, farmer, mechanic, or other per
son in the community, can go amiss for what
he wants in Mr. Huntley's line of traffic if
he calls upon him, and no man is more dis
posed to deal fairly and liberally with his
customers than he is. The best of goods
and tho lowest of prices is his motto, and he
lives up to it strictly.
ICaught thb Feveb, V. S. 3 arker, our
clever merchant friend over the way, has
caught the improvement fever, and his store
and dwelling is becoming a "thing of beau
ty" under the maipulationsof the painter's
brush. Vallie is up to the times in all
things, and keeps one of the largest, most
desirable and varied assortments of merchan
dise in this market, which he sells as cheap
as like articles can be bought anywhere in
this part of the State.
Impkoved. Our jeweller friend, C. T.
Roberts, has improved the cntward appear
ance of his store and residence by having it
very neatly painted, and can now boast one
of the handsomest store and dwelling houses
ia Ebensburg. Chn. i.prosperinglbecause

lent stock of goods, sells at fair prices, and
attends faithfully to his business. From
Buth men people will buy.

Pennsylvania State Fair. The Penn
sylvania State Fair will be held at Harris
burg, commencing September 29th, 1868,
and will continue four days. It promises to
be one of the largest ever held in the State.
The locality is very central, and accessible
from all parts of the State by Railroads
We are informed by the Secretary that al
ready many inquires are being made by ex
hibitors with great promises of an exhibition
of their articles. The grounds contain sixty
acres and are located on the banks of the
Susquehanna, within a convenient distance
of the City of Harrisburg, and about one-half
mile from the line of the Penn. Railroad?
The locality should insure a large and most
interesting Fair.
Thb Best and Chbafest. The extensive

The clothing sold at this establishment
is manufactured by the firm itself expiessly
for the trade of this section, and buyers may
depend upon not only getting garments well
made, but of the best material and at he
lowest cash prices. Dou't forget these facts
and you won't forget to patronize the Messrs.

wonderful little parlor oracles a few evenings

"Which is the cheapest store in Ebensburg V
and it answered without hesitation and in

acknowledge the correctness of the answer,
and advise our readers to make their pur

and no generally admitted, that an (numeration
of their relative excellences is no longer con
sidered necessary.
OUR NEW FAMILY MAC HDfE.
which has beeu brought to per lection regardless
of time, labor, or ezp rse, is now confidently
presented to the public as incomparably the
Best -swing Machine in existenck.
The machine in question is oIMPLE. COM
PACT. DURABLE and BEAUTIFUL. It
is quiet, light running, and capable or per
forming a range and variety or wore never
before attempted upon a single Machine, using
either Silk, Twist, Linen or Cotton Thread,
and sewing with equal facility the very finest
and coarsest materials, and anything between
the two extremes, in the most beautiful and
substantial manner. Its attachments for Hem
ming, Braiding. Cording. Tucking, Quilting,
Felling, Trimming, Binding, &c, are Novel
and Practical, aud have been invented and
adjusted especially for this Machine.
New designs of the Unique, Useful and Pop

to the Machines manufactured by this Compa
ny, have been prepared for enclosing the new
Machine.
A faint idea, however, can at best be con
veyed through the medium of a (necessarily)
limited advertisement ; and we therefore urge
every person in quest of a Sewing Machine by
all means to examine and test, if they can pos
sibly do so, all the leading rival Machines be
fore making a purchase. A selection can then
be made understanding. Branches or agen
