The "diggeis" and "niggers" split onto two facshuns, tho "diggers" goin' with the Welsh Tanners and the "niggers" formin' a D9v nukleus in the Odd Fellows' Hall, old Arkade buildin'. The reason we Jit was because we tried to expel ten diggers lor tnakin' rye laces at your lied Kepuuwcan Mayor, when they were up to Ebensburg swingin' onto the circle. We sent thtrn to tight copperheads, and not to fight with our own nigger brethren. At firt there wus thirty-five of us, aud we expelled ten, leavtu' twenty-five to transact the hul Lisness, and we about "recoustructin"' the teu rebels. One said they should not be expelled without a hearia'. Another said we took their week ly doos. and expthin' of them amounted to taxasbun without representashuu uuh-ss they were admitted to seats and votes. The 1st Lieutenant said, ".Now, Vposin wo leave the matter tew tho bead center tew decide f They all gave their konsent by stickin' out their tongues, which is the secret sigu t. at they have tear much Grant whisky on b-iard to vote with the voice. Sez I, -Injun aud nigger Lrcthi ru, I'm not as good a centre vl.T.r. as Orant wa- among; the diggers, (re- ! ferriu' them to Annie Ditkeison.) but I will try my hand onto a square dcsishun. fcez I. "1 Will UesiUO tills quesHOU aa did the reconstrucshun ot the States. J. wen- t five States voted ten States out of the - i e wilj exntl ten rebel members ' out ot our tannery, wiuiwh mim why." Sez I, "What the Hump can do the heaii and quarters has power tew do without repre.-euta.shnn and with as much taxashun as we please, and they shan't get back onto this wigwam until evry one is branded onto the hips with the letters A. U. S., which are the inishals of "A Returned Sinner." This settled the case, and the diggers left, exhibitin' all the signs of penitence that Jo nah uid when he swailered the whale. We went to the ArkaJj aud reconstructed our telves. When order was restored I called on th- committees to report. Toe 3d Lieutenant read a report on tho "Progress of Tannin'." He reported two young colored members who had laded iu the tannin' process for want of the proper juice or somethin' else. The case had been taken tew Ebensburg, but was klandestiiigiy settled, and he therefore called it up. Mr. P'O.'gs said that the motto of Tanners was, "We know no such word as fail." Mr- Hunt endorsed the sentiment, but hem' a chemist he said he hail analyzed the matter, and the faiiure was owiu' to ph) -sical causes eutirely. He would therefore move tnat they be restored to fraternal and J conjugal fellersliip, with all the otner niggers black aud while, 'Ah;ch was accurm done: The uext question that came up was the "tariff." Tnat question was up toe nite we sanc'-ified the new hall, as 1 sed in my first letter it would be. The b ys seemed di.jap pinted that they didn't see it. They had U-en stretchiu' their necks all nito when Mr. Kennedy was a taik:n One young tanner ted, "bee. Gumbo, there it is. It's for all tho world like a jinff." liut Gumbo couldn't bee it, and the question was sprung in the tannery, but as none of us ever seed the ere tur, and didn't know whitt it was like, we laid the question ou the old table. The committee on elecshuns was uext in order, and Mr. Boggs read the returns from Maine with great persperashun and dignity, lie added, that's a clear gain of eight thous and ovar Ia;t year. ''But," sez 1, 4if you substract it, insted of addin' it, it proves a clear loss of eight thousand from the year before." Bggs ted he knew that, but he supposed it was the Tanners' bisness to add and let the Copperheads substract. I sed, that "it's for no use tew crew over Maiue, for Greeley's Almanac can't lie, while Boggs can, and Gieeley's Almanac says the Repub lican majority in 1860 was 27,000." Bog;s larfed and ted nolhiii'. Then come the committee ou finance?, which reported on the "lh-dueshin of the Xashuiiai Debt." They reported a roduc shiu of six hundred millions of dollars. But as the head centre is swtun by Bride Pome rcs NuO.ij'OjKr net to lie, I had to correct theoi tigers ag.tiu. Sez I, ''The increase ot of the debt is six hundred millions in print in' of bonds and notes that the clerks keep no account of, besides the other increase of interest and the onhquidated debt, which amounts tew more than a tbousand.millions." Sez I. "Tlie debt now, all in all, is more than one hundred dollars a piece for every man. woman and child, black and white, in the United States, and wl.ere there's tew or three parents, twelve children, two old grand mothers, three old maids, and a nephew and a niece onto one family, that family's share of the debt would be two thousand dollars. And as ouq half the people are children, it would be tour thousand dollars for the adults. Ano, agen, as one half the ret are freedmen, or poor whito men, it would make that fam ily's share of the debt eight thousand dollars. And, ageoj as one half the people nearly .are rebels, and riot reconstructed' yet, it will double it agen, and make ono rich family's shire of the debt sixteen thousand dollars." Sez Boggs, "Then we'll have to repudiate." j Sez I, "Never, so loi.g a my name's j Yours, iu the wool. Naet. Jr." P. S. Govfru 'i Gtary has taken tho stump inrennsylvani.i. He's a powerful man, and when Le first mounted the stand it produced aa earthquake ia South Amui ika. He was hereon Siturday nite and talked Choctaw. for ten rrdnnt.es," to the bones and sinews of tho 'Moil" peple of this town. Geary used tew throw dice and piay euchre and other games on the Old Portage Road, and he was so cute at the folks sod he must bo a descend ant of Poke a hunt us. He was als i Alcalde of the Chinese in California, and Postmaster of the Camanche Injuns. He is a paper gen eral, and was defeated at Suicker's Gap. When young he lived on Snod-grass, which so affected the umbiblical cord of his wind pipe as to create a stoppage in his speech, especialiy when there's uo Jlow nv ideas His speech was a faylure, and did cur party no good, but, as Graut used tew say when he came onto contact with a digger squaw and got worsted, "it's f r no use tew cry over spilt milk." He wouldn't come onto the scaffold until they told him that there was no soljurs of the Mexican war about. He's ttfeard of even their ghosts. The next speaker was one Pierce, whose nose rounds like a sweet potato, and he looks down as if huntin' for a "lost cause." He's a piece man. He said if he had wings he'd lly over this broad union and cry "Peace! Peace!!" A feller in the erowd dol'ered, "They'd shoot you for an s poke," which made Boegs laff tremenjusly. N. Nota Bene, which means take particular notis. The new uoses that are beginnin' to blossom on the streets hereabouts would in dicate that our colonization plans are doin' finely.

Come one, come all ! who'll sell his birthrite for a mess of potash!, N. Bcxi6KiNS vs. Tanners. In emulation of the Tanners' Club of Johnstown, which visited this place a couple of weeks since, the Republicans here got up a similar or ganization, and on Friday evening last they made their first public parado with flaming torches, but wkhout tho requisite capes, caps, etc. They presented quite a respect a bfe appearance, but many of the persons in the line were beardless boys, and altogether it was a mere empty show, signifying noth ing. On Monday evening some twenty or twenty-five Democratic juveniles got np a burlesque parade, and their appearance on our streets, unknown and unannounced, created a good deal of merriment. They were preceded by a most discordant band, in which horns, drums, whistles, etc., figured conspicuously, after which came a transpa rency bearing the following legends : "Bull skin Club the tail end of a hide Grant is not able to tan ; 4'Rah for Grunt and Poll tax "Let uh have Teace !"' "How are you, leather (head) Tanners?" and en the re maining side was a picture representing an "American cit'zen of African descent," and a mn'e's daddy." Tins caricature was an nouncid as "Grant's first appearance in the ring," and elicitrd co'iside.-ab'e attention from all who saw it. After the transparen cy came the procession, each boy bearing aloft a large pumpkin, scooped out and properly disfigured, in which a lighted ean d!e had been inserted. The procession moved up and down Main s-trter, and everybody was cut to witness it. Some few stones were thrown at the procession by boys of opposite political faith, but no damage was done. JonssTowN, Sept. 22, 1S88. Dear Freeman The Democratic Club of this place was addressed, on last Saturday evening. by Hon. Geo. Bull, of Philadelphia. Mr. B. is an excellent rpeaker, and is doing good service in the cause of Democracy. His speech was listened to with the utmost attention, and received with great applause. After the conclusion of his speech the meet ing adjourned- Gov. Geary addressed a Radical meeting on the Public Squire, on'the same'evening. irr a speech which was but the reiteration of the vile slauders and tnisrepreSentations of the Radical press, and failed to excite any enthusiasm.- He was followed by Gen. Pierce, who endeavored to raise the spirits of his hearers by telling some dirty anecdotes. But all to no purpose. The crowd, which was not large at best, gradually and percep tibly became thinner and4thinner, and at the close of his speech feflr remained to give him a parting cheer. A hickory pole, 135 feet in lencth, was raised at Coneniiiugh Station on Saturday last. There were several eeches macie ou the occasion. A poor widow woman named Lutkard had a pocket book, containing upwards of seventy dollars, stolen from her one day last week. No clue to the thiif.

Every tidy housewife has a commendable pride in set ting before visitors, at least, the best viands in the best style, anil on such occasions she likes to grace her table with just such arti cles of silver-plated ware as Geo. Huntley has now in store in most attractive array, and is offering at very low figures to all who i.esire to purchase. Husbauds and others should have no hesitation in enabling their wives, mothers or sisters to invest in ware of this kind, if they can at all afford the outlay. Improvement. Our next door neighbor, Mr. M. L. Oatman, has built a very exten sive warehouse in connection with his store, having found that his rapidly increasing business demanded tins impiovement. Mr. Oatman is succeeding beyond his mont san gnine expectations, as indeed all merchants must succeed who deal liberally with their customers. He has at all times the most complete and extensive stock of groceries kept in Ebensburg, and sells at the most moJerate prices. The Oldkst and Best. The oldest clo- thini; house in J hnstown is under the pro prietorship of Mr. James J.- Murphy, nod is located on Clinton street. Its loiiR career IS evidence sufficient of its popularity, and no man can say that he has been otherwise than fairly dealt with by Mr. Murphy in all that time. A new and magnificent stock has just been received at this establishment, and gentlemen and boys can be fitted with the very best of clothing at the most moder ate figures. Gueenbacks are the cause of considerable discussion just now among politicians, but their own backs will be found of more im mediate interest to the masses of the people, and the change in the weather should induce all to make a change in their wearing appa rel. Our gentlemen friends will find that a verv small outlay of greenbacks will cover their own backs very comfortably and Deatly at Cohen fc Bro.'s New York Clothing Hall. Parke's new building.

Mayer, whose store is in Parke's new building, lain street, Johnstown, desires the fact to be kept before the people, aud especially befoie the ladies, that his stock of dry goods, dress and millinery goods is unsurpassed iu quality, quantity and cheapness of price anywhere iu Pennsylvania. Let thif fact have due weight with ladies who visit that place to make them purchases. Coming Events, &c. The disappearance of our ovcr-the-way merchant friend, Vallie Barker, and the complete renovation of his establishment, leads us to conjecture that the aforesaid Vallie is just now in the city pur chasing a full stock of fall goods. So look out for what Barker always brings, a superb and excellent assortment. Prcclamation.
