The petulant and ill-tempered reply of the Johnstown Tribune to our remarks in reference to the renting of Union Hall, for the use of the District Court, requires a brief notice. Iu the first place, it is not trne that we are animated by a "bitter hatred of Johnstown," cor Is it true that we have ought to bring the Dittrict Court into "con tempt," or to load it with "ridicule." We have never spoken or written one word against the establishment of that tribunal, but on the contrary have regarded it with favor. If any unfriendly feeling towards Johnstown Las been engendered in this com munity, it had its origin in the false and fraudulent petition which was prepared, signed and tent to Uarriaburz, asking the Legislature, not to establish the District Court, but to remove the county seat. That disreputable document was well calculated to produce a lively feeling of sensitiveness, but not of haired. The statement contained in one of the doc uments published in the Tribune, that there are thirty thousand people within the juris diction of the Court, is very Muncbauscn like. If that is true, then the balance of the population of tho county, say seeen thousand, must be scattered around very loosely, over the remaining six boroughs and fourteen townships. We admit that Johnstown is a bi'j place, but we duny that it embraces nine tenths of the whole county. To the allegation of the Tribune, that the annual cost for several years, "of beating, cleaning, lighting and otherwise taking care of the Court Ilouse at Ebeubburg," has amounted to a frousand dollars per year, we reply, that the charge for these specif c pur poses doas not amount to more than one fouith of the sun uauiid. Besides this, it has nothing at all to do with the cjuestiou in controversy. The whole difficulty is contained in a nut shell, and to gratify the editor of the Tribune, we will admit that Frouheiser'e Hall la "a law, dingy, nncommodious, ill contrived, out-of-the-way and dear-at-any-prico second story 'hall.'" and then ask him, In all can dor, whether all these things prove that two hundred dollars a week ought to be paid for the use of Union Hall ? It is not a question of 'tfuipty pocket-books," but simply one of immoderate rent. The editor of the Tri lune is awcro, that for lecture or amusement purposta, Union Hall would not be used during the day perhaps ten times in the en tire year. TLat alone !s a conclusive an swer to anything tbat may bo urged in de fence of the stipulated rent. Entertaining, therefore, no feeling of "bit ter hatred of Johnstown," but on the contra ry the utmost kindness, and actuated by no desire to cast "contempt" and 'ridicule" on the District Court, but hoping for It a com plete success, we still adhero to the opinion that, in view of all tho facts, the amount of rent agreed to be paid for Union Hall is ex travagant and cannot be justified. And we say further, that if the entortainlng and ex pressing of that opinion should bring upon us so great an "evil" as an "empty pocket, look," we shall be none the loss convinced of the truth and justice cf what the Tribune la pleaded to term our "insane pollcj" la re gard to the question at issue. Wa regret to loam that, on yesterday week, Hon. Jkeemiau S. Black, while traveling In the rail road cars between Louisville and Nashville, met with a pain ful and serious accident. He was sitting with his elbow out cf the window of the car when, through a collision with a freight train, one cf his arms was badly fractured. He was brought back to Louisvillo and the Vest medical aid was summoned to bis re lief. At first Lis injuries were regarded as quite serious, but later advices are more fa vorable. Cambria county was one of the theatres of Judge Black's early professional career. He is well known to our citizens, -Lo admire his great abilities and who sym pathize with him in his recent misfortune. Thb legislature of Rhode Island adjourn ed last week without ratiSng the negro suf frage amendment. This will be bad news for Geary, io aa much as bo has been labor ing under tho delusion that the amendment would bo adopted by the necessary number of States before the next October elccticu, and thereby secure hisu, what ho will so much need, fourteen thousand votes. Jdxgz Clack's arm was broken in four different places, by the accident we notice above, and he is now imder ratdical treatment at St. Joseph's Infirmary, Louisville. Grant and tlie Eight Hour Law. We stated two weeks that; the Attorney General, Mr. Hoar, had given a written opinion to the Secretary of the Navy, con struing the eight hour law passed by Con gress, to mean a corresponding reduction of wages. The meaning of the law having been thus interpreted by the law officer of the government, one of whose duties it is to construe acts of Congress and define their legal affect fur the information and guidance of the President and other officers of the government, it was to be expected that President Grant would consider himself bound by the opinion of his own Attorney General. Such ha heretofore been the re spect that has uniformly been accorded by all Presidents to a carefully prepared legal opiniou by that officer, and any other Presi dent than Grant would have followed their example. But we live in an age of pro gress, and it is one of the incomprehensible things of this administration, that Grant has is&ued a proclamation in which he de clares that, notwithstanding tho act of Con gress, there shall be no reduction in tho navy yards and government work shopa of the wages heretofore paid for ten hoars' work. In other words, he proclaims to tha country that when Congress passed the eight hear law it did not understand what it was doing, and that when his own Attor ney General construes it to mean a reduc tion of wages, he does not comprehend the question. The first of these propositions is undoubtedly true, but the imputation cast by the President on Mr. Hoar is undeserved. Us is a gentleman of acknowledged ability in his profession and is perfectly competent to construe the meaning of an act of Con gress. From what source doeB President Giant derive his euthoiity to suspend the legal ef fect of an act of Ooigress by a proclamation. No othet President ever assumed tho exer cise of such a sweeping and dangerous pow er. If Andrew Johnson had done so, the hounds of impeachment would have been speedily on his track. If tho law Is defective the evil can only be remedied by Congress itself. That Congress intended ty the act -to pay government workmen the same wages for eight hours labor that it had been accus tomed to pay for ten, is perhspa true, but it is equally as plain that it had not the ability to say bo iu language that either Mr. Borie or Mr. noar ccnld compiehend. The issuing of this proclamation id a fear ful assumption of power, and yet it has been applauded by the radical press and wa presume it will be quietly submitted to. It is the beginning of the end. An imperial ukase issued by the Emperor of Kussia has all the force and elfect of a positive law, but no President In this country can exer cise any such absolute power. The mo ment he could do so we would cease to be a republic and would become a despotism. This proclamation, therefore, is simply null and void, and is not worth the paper on which it was written. That it ever should have been issued at all is another of the ever increasing wenders of this bungling administration. It is a singular coincidence, that on the very day on which the President published this remarkable document, William D. Kel ly, a radical member of Congress from Phil adelphia, addressed a letter to the workmen employed by the government in his district, in which he refers to the total want of pow er in the President over the subject, in the following language : "I believe that public officers are bound to obey the hw. I am compelled to sustain the order ot the Secretary or the Navy. The law of provides 'that the hours of labor and the rate of wages of the employes in the navy yards shall conform as nearly as is consistent with the public interests with those of private establishments in the immediute vicinity of the respective yards.' This act is still in lorce, and the solicitor of the navy and Attorney Gen eral, to whom the question bus been referred, have advised the Secretary and President Graut that, under its provisions, they cannot legally pay for eight hours' work tha same wage that are paid for ten hours by private establishments iu tha immediate vicinity of the yards respect ively. If, theiefoie, men who work in navy yards are to receive twenty-five per cent, mare than they would get for the same work iu pri vate establishments, the act of 1SC2 must be repealed. That can only bt done by Congress. Neither the Secretary of the Navy nor the President has tha power to repeal a law, or the right to disregard one." Thk editor of the Wheeling Intelligencer, (radical,) having addressed a letter to Hor ace Greeley, in which he took the position that to give the br.llot to all the whites as well as all the blacks, would be defeated by the legislature of West Virginia, llr. Grcoly sent him the following caustic reply : New Yoek Tribune, ) New Yobst. November 18. 1869. llj Dear Sir; I have yours of the 1 6th. Its leading positions have long bean understood and appreciated in this quarter. Now hear me. Every year one thousand of vour rebels die, and one thousand (or more) of their sons be come of age. You can't disfranchise them. You have now five thousand majority. Six years at farthest will convert this into a rebel majority of one thousand ; then the rebels will be enfranchised in npiie of you. and the blacks will be left under foot and you under-cstimate these at least two thousand. Go your own way and see if the rebels do not have you under foot in less thn six years. I speak from a wide experience when I tall you tbat your bouse is built on the sand. It cannot stand . Every yoar will see tha passions of tho war cool, and the demand for amnesty strengthened. Now you can amnesty the rebels. Soon tha question will be. Shall they amnesty yoo 1 Look at Kentucky and Maryland and read your certain fate iu theirs. Yours, Hoeace Greeley. Horace Greeley can see aa far into tht po litical future aa any other radical, and what he predicts in this letter will surely come to pass. The feeling of ill will -and malevo lence which the radical party has been sow ing in the eld blave States since the close of the war, will produca a bountiful harvest of dissension and hato. It is quite certain, that in a very brief period of time the polit ical destinies of the States lately in rebellion will be controlled by the whit population. It ought to be bo and it will be so. Know ing that such will be the result, Greeley has the sngacity to see the pressing political necessity or at once removing all obstacles ia the Southern States to future peace And harmony between those who supported the rebellion and those who opposed it. In this he shows his wisdom as a politician, as well as his magnanimity as a man, and main tains his consistency as the advocate of uni versal amnesty and universal suffrage. COIIMIJXICATIO.V. Hemlock, May 31, 18G0. Dear Fietman Then is an old saying that "perseverance will accomplish won ders." and though I little thought when I adurtesed a communication to you a week or two ago in rtpard to the injustice done this community by the Penn'a R. R. Co.. ia the stopping of trains, unloading of freights, manifesting' of cars and accommo dation of passengers at this point, that my ftcble efforts wouid make an impression on the minds of the great monopolists. I never theless took the liberty of stating a few plain facts that could and would be authenticated by any or all the citizens of this village and vicinity, and we now flatter ourselves that our prayers and petitions are about to be hoard, and we feel so much elated over our good fortune, BLd being thankful for small favors wiili the expectation of receiving larger ones, we wish to acknowledge the generosity cf the Company in their conde scension to notice to us. And though we have not been favored by the stopping cf an additional tra!n, the erection of a new sta tion ht'Uf-e, nor the establishment of an agency here, we yet have very decided rea son? for feottug our importance. Mr. Editor, you ruay imagine the astonishment of the natives iu making their daily olservatier.s, a few days p.go, to find painted agaiubt t'ue side of the luilding covering the water tank, in gorgeous style aud glowbg letters the word "Lilly's." While my fellow-citizens were conversing on the magnanimity of the Company in thus cnud?scending to enlighten us on our gefgraph'c.il position, I was ru minating on the causes that brought it about, the benefits to be derived from it, and the improvement tbat could be mode without any unnecefsary extravagant expenditure of funds. Stangers traveling this way (and thou ah I am not much of a stranger myself I understand there do a great many travtl tide route) wlii be able to see at a glance whaie they are. They may not be able to rind Lilhfi o the railroad maps, yet they will have the very bt information in the world that there is such a place, furnished gratuitously by the Company, (something they are not nototious for furnishing any thing gratuitously), and we will no loDger, as heretofore, be annoyed by the quest ion, "What statiou i this ?" and thy will be under no obligation ty us for the informa tion. We hope we may r.ot be considered impertinent fr making a few f uggestions. Wa would respectfully suggest that the name te painted on either end of the water tank instead of the side. If this were done there would Le no excuse for running trains the fourth of a mile v't tho station to un load freights the excuse previous to this teiug, tLey didn't know where tb station was. Ab uow arranged the engineer will be unable to st-e the came until immediately opposite, aud it is not possible to stop the train undtr full headway in a moment. Even passengers. I notice, have quite a walk to catch up to the trains sometiu'tes, after running past the station. Iu order to re lieve the Company of what may be a very great annoyance to them some day, I would furtLer suggest that they have a new edi tion of somebody's geography printed, and have Lilly's" inserted iu it, that the rising generation may bo able to utfiue the geo graphical position of " Lilhj 's and not, hke their ancestors, be ignorant of its location. Aa "coming events cast their shadows be fore," we expect in a short time to be able to inform the readers of the Freeman that wo have a new station house, au agency, and perhaps au additional traiu or two stop ping for our accommodatiou. It is tiue we will btill be compelled to go to Cresson for the purpose of manifesting cars, prepaying freights, etc., but we propose to be liberal in our demands, and as we have only been asking these improvements for the last six or eight years, we can cheer f ully submit to this inconvenienco for a few years more. M. P. S. We desire to notify the officials, employees, and others interested, that we shall insist on having our goods unloaded in the neighborhood of tho water tank, inas much as tha water tank is "Lilly's."

Hester Vaughan, whose case excited so much sympathy among the woman's rights people some time ago, has gone back to England. She was convicted of infantirirl., in Philadelphia and sentenced to death, but so strong an Influence was exercised In her Denalt, and so mucn sympathy was aroused for hor, that Gov. Geary first commuted her sentence, end finally set her free, on condi tioa that she would immediately leave the country. This she has done, with the aid of friends in New York, who subscribed money to pay her passage. Bat where did Gov. Geary find authority to require Hester Vaughan to go back to England ? A strange woman has just died In Ten nepsee, named Rebecca Freeman. While yet in her teens, and an orphan, she engaged to be married : but her lover died, and Ka betook herself to a cabin built on the top of a high and rugged hill, in an almost impen etrate forest, where she lived the life of a hermit until her death, at the age of seven-ty-two. She kept the white slippers and the apparel in which she was to be made a happy bride, until the day of her death, and would brood over those remembrances for half a day at a time. Whenever the spirit of sadness fastened upon her she went to her door and blew a long tin horn, bequeathed to her by her mother, for hours at a time. A n8gfo, who was hung last week in Maryland, confessed how he had waylaid a white man and knocked hira sensless. Then he robbed bis victim and went home; bnt came back in the evening with a gun and put it to the head of the Btill breathing man and blew his bralno out. Aa this was a murder perpetrated by a negro on a white man, it created no excitement at the North. Sumner did not propose to eject the repres entatives of Maryland from Congress, nor did Bon Butler suggest the ravishing of the whole country In which the deed was done It was left to the ordinary course of law. But oh ! how differently it wonld have been if a white man, say in Georgia, had killed a negro ! GET THE BEST. This is sound advice, especially since we give it in reference to med icine, and in order to learn which is "the beet" let merit be the test.
