Akers. of Johns town, has kindly consented to undertake a collecting and canvassing tour of the county oa behalf of the Freeman, and as soon as we can find time to make cut the lists the work will commence Johnstown to be the start ing point. We received comparatively little money last week and very much less the I resent one, ami as we have tried coaxing, threatening, and other means without suc cess, we have concluded to see what virtue there is in presenting each man's bill to him personally. That failing, we shall do as other men do in such cases collect by law where the parties are wotth it. All bills for fubscription will be made out to the close of the present volume, four months from now, and we sincerely hope that all persons in debted will pay promptly when called on by Mr. Akers. Moneys collected by him will be acknowledged through the paper or oth er wise, as desired. If we receive what is due us the Freeman will receive what is due it a new outfit at the close of the present vol nme. Will our friends aid us in this way ? and will they assist Mr. Akers in securing more subscribers for the Freeman f V direct the special attention of every democratic voter in the county to an address, which will be found in another column, on the subject of the Registry Law, from James II. Hopkins, Esq., who represents the Dem ocratic State Committee for the. western por tion of the State. It is a full aud correct synopsis of what the Registry Law requires in order to enable a qualified elector to vote, and no man who reads it carefully can fail to understand his duty. We also publish below a complete list of the registry officers for the different election districts in the county. Whether the Chair man of the Democratic County Committee has thus far made any effort towards secur ing a full and perfect registry of the demo cratic voters of our county we are unable to say. If he has done any thiug towards bring ing about that result we have not yet heard of it, and as the duty should be attended to AT ONCE, we advise every democrat to heed the counsel of Mr. Hopkins and altend to this important duty without delay. Let every democrat see f jr himself that his name is on tho registry list of his election precinct. Don't wait on your neighbor or any ona else, no matter whether you presume it to be his duty to see to the matter or not, but exam ine the lists in your respective districts, and if you find that you have not been registered delay not an hour until that all-important lusiness has been attended to. Here are the names of the registry officers in the several districts of the county : Alleghany. Henry Glass: Blacktick, Samuel Heed; Carroll, Henry Byrne; Carrolltown, A. J.

A radical stump orator delivered a speech In the Court House, on last Monday night, to a very small but select audience of Re publicans and Democrats. Mauch Chunk is his residence and Daniel Kail f us is his name, with the prefix of Honorable there unto added. Ho seems to be a veritable po litical Daniel come to judgment. We did not hear the Honorable Daniel Kalbfus spread himself, but wo learn from undoubted au thority, that he was then and there respon sible for the following singular statement: That once upon a time a citizen of Mauch Chunk, whose name Kalbfus did not state, loaned Asa Packer the sum of eleven thous and dollars that Packer never repaid the money that the man who loaned it to him was attacked in consequence of Packer's conduct, with the Jieart disease that he lingered for a long time, and lingering, final ly did die of a broken and crushed heart. This was the substance of the astounding revelation made by the Hon. Daniel Kalb fus at the aforesaid radical meeting. Now, as Asa Packer has been regarded as a weal thy man by the people of Mauch Chunk for the last twenty five years, the question naturally suggests itself, why did not the executors or administrators of the man who loaned Asa Packer 60 Bnug a sum of money as eleven thousand dollars, and who died of a broken heart, bring a suit against biro, obtain a judgment, and compel him to dis gorge the amount. That could have very easily been done, and it 13 just what is uni formly done in all aeh cases. Whether Kalbfus (which, when translated into plain English, ireins Ca7'a foota. very appro priate name for the aforesaid Mauch Chunk orator) is more of a knave than a fool, or whether he unites in himself the shining qualities of both, we will not here discuss. And this is one of the mendacious slanders invented at this late day against the spot less character of Asa Packir for honesty and integrity. Let the immortal KaU'fi.s have an open field duriDg the canvass. He will not seriously endanger the election of Judge Packer, but will materially aid in bringing about that certain result. The whole 6tory is a bald and unmitiga ted lie, and is eminenty worthy of the ca pacious brain of Daniel Kalbfus. A Slander Refuted. Although the fact has never been hereto fore questioned that, in 18G6, Asa Packer made a contribution of Jive hundred thousand dollars for the erection of Lehigh College, the radical papers, being unable to say any thing against him, have resorted to the con temptible expedient of trying to rob him of that honor. The Philadelphia Post, a leading radical sheet, published the following unfounded statement in reference to the matter, which drew from the Vice President of the Lehigh Valley Rail Road a reply which effectually exposes the injustice attempted to be done to the fair name acd reputation of Judge Packer. We print the bane aud the anti dote together : PACKER AND THK LEHIGH COLLEGE WHO PAID TBI $SuO,UuUZ Among the praises sung of Mr. Packer is an alleged contribution or endowment of Lehigh College of $5Uu,u0t. which was made a num ber ol vears aso. The Democratic press, gen erally, is content with quoting the Presbyteiian Banner endorsement ot that 'liberal Dequesr, which, of course, speaks from appearances. The truth is. there is a strong reason for be lieving that Mr. Packer nevkr contributed a SINGLE DOLLAR OUT OF HIS OW.H POCKET for the endowment of that institution, the whole pro ceeding having been one through which a ruil road company's bonds were negotiated in Eu rope by what might be called a sharp specula tion. We give outline of the proceeding, as w hispered bv the knowiMg ones, and those who know Mr. Packer acd bis speculations well, say that it is precisely in character with him During the time that a certain railroad compa ny, in which Mr. Packer whs and is still inter ested, was in that position when a few millions would either make or break it, and when it could not command a loan in this country, ex cept at a iuinous sacrifice, the brilliant ide i oc curred to some one that by mixing up a little theology with its stock the thing could be ef fected. Mr. Packer was accordingly despatch ed to England as ambassador, carrying with him letters and papers holding him up as the munificent contributor of $a'K.UUU to an Epis copal College. Of course Mr. Packer was looked upon as a great man, and between Church and State the loan was negotiated. The Episcopal part was dropped, but it is still under the control of that Church. The loan effected, Mr. Packer returned, and now comes the best part of this magnificeut idea, namely : whether Mr. Packer, who had obtained the reputation of having given a princely endowment to a college, or the rail road company, which had derived the benefit of this ruse, should pay the half million? Our eyesignt, through a small hole in the wall, shows us that the railroad paid it. Let the Presbyterian Banner examine into this matter, not among those immediately interested in up holding Mr. Packer, and we strongly suspect that it will stumble over some facts in this "be nificeut" transaction which will show where the (ruth lies. What gives this inner view of the case a strong show of probability is the fact cited by a paper published near Mr. Packer's home, that when Dr. Cattell, the energetic President of Lafayette College at Easton, sought assistance from the men of the valley to save that vener able institution from ruin, he appealed to Asa Packer, but got from him no assistance. He next applied to Mr. Ario Pardee, of Hazelton, whose generosity immediately responded by a handsome endowment. Jl'DGE PACKER AND THE LXHIGH ROAD. To the Editor of the Post. Sir : In your paper of the 3d instant there is an item headed "Packer and the Lehigh College. Who paid the $500.000?" in which it is intimated that the money to Lehigh University was really paid by a railroad company, and not by Judge Packer individually. Although not particular ly mentioned, the reference is plainly to the Lehigh Valley Rai'.road Cotrpeny.and I think it due to the stockholders, of whom there are more than two thousand residing in this city and immediate vicinity, to stite that the com pany lias never di&lctlt or indirectly con tributed one dollar towards the Lehigh Univer sity, nor has JuJge Packer or any one e'.se ever negotiated a loan iu Europe on our account. His vibit there was, as far as we know, entirely one of pleasure and relaxatien from business. ChARLKS HABT4UOR.NK, Vice-President Lehigh Valley Railway. Philadelphia, September 6, l)b9. Bucltalevr and Cliulfant. A State Senator is to be elected in Octo ber in the counties of Northumberland, Mon tour, Columbia and Sullivan. There have been two prominent candidates for the dem ocratic nomination Chas. R. Buckalew, of Columbia county, and Thomas Chalfant, of Montour county. The following despatch relates what occurred at the Senatorial Con ference, on Monday, 6th inst.: NoBTncMBKRLASD, Pa., Sept. 6. The con test for the democratic nomination for State Senator for the district composed of Northum berland, Montour, Sullivan and Columbia coun ties, has been very lively Ou the 270th bal lot, Thomas Chaifaut, editor of the Danville Intelligencer, received the largest number of votes ike delegate from Northumberland and Montour and McMinch, of Columbia, voting for him. Immediately on the result being an nounced, Withington, of Northumberland, who had been voting lor Chalfant on that and pre vious ballots, wished to reconsider his vote. A stormy time eusued, and Chalfant and his delegates withdrew in disgust; after which the remaining delegates nominated Charles R. Buckalew. In this district last November Seymour re ceived a majority over Grant of 3100 votes. Is that to be neutralized and thrown away by this senseless personal contest between Messrs. Buckalew and Chalfant. and a radi cal sent to the State Senate from that strong democratic district? If such should unfor tunately be the result, those gentlemen will have a heavy responsibility resting upon them. One of them has been a United States Senator and the other a member of the State Legislature, and wo tell there dis tinctly, that the unenviable position which they have seen proper to assume will not be sanctioned by tho democracy of the State. We know nothing about the merits of tha controversy, and caj only hope for their own credit that the difficulty may be amicably adjusted. Trust no ose. but go and see for your self that j our name is properly Registered. l OJLUl S I C ATI OK . THE "GINGER-POP" MASS MEETING. Mr. Freeman On Thursday night of last week the "Ginger Pop" party held their first campaign mass meeting in the Court Hous. The meeting was organized by call ing the stately Rcade to the ehair and select ing two heavy men of the woods as Vice Pn sidents, with the usual number of Scribes, or Secretaries. Tho meeting being thus fix ed for business, the President arose and said : Fellow-Citizens, we have met to-night to in augurate the campaign, and I beseech 3ou, few as we ara here to-night, to sleep not on your oars until the enemy is vanquished. We must raise the war cry and send it to the neighboring counties. If we flag iu our ef- forts now the State will be ht. and our noble and valiant hero. Gen. Geary, who never lost or won a battle, will be beaten. Let us not be disheartened by this demon stration, but let us persevere under the bloodless ginger pop banner of Geary and the Registry Law. The night is passing away, and I will not detain you any longer. Allow me to, introduce to you Mr. Kalbfus, who says he is from Mauch Chunk. Great cheering by the ginger pops. Mr. Kalbfus. in great pomp and majesty, arose, and after looking around for the crowd, said, "I did not leave homo because I stole anything I could not carry away, ior be cause I done anything that I was afraid I would be takea up for ; but I came here to night to talk to the people of Cambria county on some ef the dead issues of the past. Fellow-citizens, a3 I said before I came into the Court House, I could not be onttadicted by any one for any statement I would make here. I will begin by saying Democracy is dead. The elections in Vir ginia, Kentucky, California and Tennessee are proofs of that fact, because you will ob serve some members of the Freedman's Bu reiu voted for the successful candidates, who are all friends of our gallant stitcsman, Gen. Grant. The Democrat who. would not vote the Republican ticket this fall is an ingrat-, because we, the great and immaculate Res public tn party, built the great railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacitfc, aud we cleared out rivers, and built harbors, and fitted out ships and cannon in one of the most splen did wars for the liberation of our African friends the world or any other nation ever saw or heard of. We also created Fried man's Bureaus to protect and f--ed the negro and give him dominion over the white man. This, of course, has created a debt, and cursed be he who would not pay his tax willingly to pay off every cent of it in gold to the bondholder. This should be sufficient to convince any democrat who is not an in grate to vote for the gallant Geary, who was and is the friend of the naturalization system especially while he lived in this county." Here he was interrupted by the "Chaplain" who cried out "Washington township knows better." After harmony was again restored, the speaker resumed : Gentlemen, I presume that man is crazy. Now let me say some thing that is not as j et understood or known. Y-u have all heard of Judge Packer." Cries of "Yes!" "Yes!" "His friends say he is worth twenty millions of dollars. We don't think so, but we believe he is worth seven millions. And he don't pay one cent of tax. He left his home and rented a bouse in Philadelphia, which he furnished for fifty dollars, but don't live in it. He won't pay the bond-holders in gold. If you elect him Governor be will be controlled by Jerry Black and Frank Hughes, and the poor woman who has her government bond in her little box will not be paid in gold, and she may die in want. Why, fellow-citizens, in our town he could not bo elected Burgess, while I could-be elected to any office in that municipality. But I have detained you too long. There will be some awful develop ments in the Pittsburgh papers, all sworn to by men as good as I am, that will show np Mr. Packer ia his true colors, lie mast be beaten." IL'ra the chair declared the mass meeting adjourned, when the officers, with lion. Double A. B., D. O. E., and two other members of the ginger pop parry, together with the Mauch Chunk orator, quietly passed out into the silence and the darkness of the night, and the rest of the "ginger pops,'' as well as tha greater nnmhr who were not "ginger pops," took up their line of march for their respective hemes. Observer. The Avcsdale Horsor. Although the destruction of Lutnan lifts in the terrible mine disaster at Avondale. in Luzerne coun ty, was not as great as at first apprthended, yet the calamity was the rao6t heart-rending and appalling that has ever occurred in this country. One hundred and eight men and boys were suffocated to death over two hun dred feet below the surface of the earth. The particulars are heart-rending in the ex treme. A fire broke out iu the miues early on Monday morning of last week, and be neath the fire were the miners, who had no other chance for escape but through the opening from which the flames were esca ping, and they remained in the recess of the mine until Wednesday morning, forty-eight hours after the fire broke out, when they were discovered dead and piled one upon another. Extraordiuary endeavors were made to extinguish the flames by those a round the opening of the mine, and after the fire was put out, the passage had to bo clear ed of the rubbish which bad fallen in, acd even theu it was some time before a descent could be made on account of the fire-damp. The bodies of the men were taken out and decently interred. A man named Steele, one of the victims, was descending the shaft with a quantity of hay, and the presump tion is that the hay caught from his miner's lamp and set fire to the coal breaker. - Hun dreds of widows and orphans have been made by the catastrophe, all of whom are in desti tute circumstances their condition appeal ing to the charity of their fellow beings. Money in their behalf cau be sent to Thos. P. Hunt. Wilkesbarre, or George II. Stuart, Philadelphia. The Avondale Disaster An Affect ing Incident. A Scranton correspondent says of the whole number (108 men and boys) in the mine at the time of the explo sion, more than one-half the men were mar ried and had families dependent upon them for support. As fast as their bodies are identified, they are delivered into the charge of their friends to be prepared for burial. C-jfiins have been sent from Scranton, Pittston, Wilkesbarre and other places, to meet the demand which Avondale makes upon her sister towns and cities in the val ley. Such utter wretcheduess was never witnessed anywhere as that which is mani fested by wives and daughters and sisters as they recognize in the lifeless forms before them the loved ones who would never smile upon them again this Mde of eternity. The fifty-third and fifty-fourth bodies un earthed were a father and his son, their names John Burch, Sr.. and John Burch, Jr. So tightly were they locked in each other's arms. It was found to be a difficult task to separate them, and it did seem to be at last cruel to dhsunito thsir ai ms, when they had embraced each o;her in doaib.anJ laying down upon the bottom of the poisoped pit, kissed each ether for the last time and perished., Political aud Sews items. Old Mr. Jsse Grant writes concerning Judge W. Dent; "he Dont a Mount to much, he wants to be sumthin and hekan't. He never did hav muh sens, He never wil." Geary was quite poor when he became Governor. He has recently offered to invest JSO.OOT) in a farm. Hia salary is but J.5. C00 a year. Where did he get the money ? Wilbia a very short time five young women in Louisville, 111., have been seiiously poisoned by the use of imported face pow der adulterated with lead. In each case the cosmetics caused paralysis. The Press says, "Democracy and re pudiation are synonymous. " What party nominated Heny WV Williams for Judge? What party repudiated a portion of the debt of this State, by altering the interest from coin to greenbacks 7 It having been ascertained that Wil liam Tell is.a my th, somebody has now found a manuscript which will lead people to doubt the truth of that story of Newton and the apple. Let us be thankful that we can still cling to Washington and his hatchet. In Ohio the Radicals have already ar ranged a general system for colonizing voters taking them from strong Radical counties and placing them in doubtful ones, as a means of carrying the State Legisla ture. This is what they .call a "free ballot." An Indian named Joseph Shaw-we-nos-se-qua lately carried half a bushel of pota toes twenty miles to pay his subscription te a paper in Luddington, Minnesota. He can neither read nor write, but gets some of his better informed neighbors to read the paper for biro. Gen. Canby has issued his proclama tion announcing the result of the Virginia election. The election of six Walker and three Wells! Congressmen is announced. The State Legislature will meet October 5th. On the 21st inst. Walker is to be installed provisional Governor only provisional, mind you. The main shaft of the Warrensburg Coal Mine, at Carbon Hill, Mo., caught fire last Monday. Fifteen men were in the mine, seven- of whom got out by clinging to an as cendiug car. they being badly Lurned in the passage. The rest were brought up from the mine after the fire was extinguished. All were injured and the foreman is expected to die. The death of the Hon. Wm. Titt Fes senden is ascribed to the effects of the pois oning by which the enemies of Mr. Buchan an attempted his life, when he went to Wash ington to assume the Presidency. Mr. Fessenden was then at Brown's Hotel, and never entirely recovered from the illness with which he and many others vrere af fected. At Pittston. on Thursday mornins, while the special train for the sceue of the Avondale disaster was leaving the depot, crowded to overflowing with human freight, a man named John Tocher, iu attempting to jump on between the platform cars, miss od his hold and fell upon the track, the cars cutting him in twain and killing him in stantly. Though you may have lost buth arms and both legs by a railroad accident, aud thus be deprived of all power to earn a liv ing for yourself or to sustain those depend ent on your labor for support, the "calami ty bill," approved and signed by Governor Geary, gives you but three thousand dollars damages from the railroad company for your irreparable loi-s. Things look as squally for Radica lism in Texas and Missfcippi as they have proved disastrous in Virginia and Tennessee. Grant's ptomised support to the extremists has had the effect of uniting all the moder ate men of the two States named in behalf of the Conservative movement, and will un doubtedly lead to the triumphant election of the Conservative candidates. So we go. A meeting of mill owners and others interested in lumber was held at Williams port, Pa., last week. Nearly every firm in the trade was represented, and entire unan imity prevailed. It was resolved that but one-half of the usual stock of logs be cut aud manufactured on the West Branch for 1870. A committee was appointed to ar range to have the resolution carried into ef fect. Grant did not tarry long by the grave of his friend Rawlins. Tho clods bad hardly ceased to rattle upon the coffin until he was off again. He is expected in Harrisburg shortly, and rumor says he is to be the guest of Simon Cameron again. The probabili ties are that he may be influenced to make Don. Cameron Secretary of War. Simon is always ready to pay big prices for political favors. As a train on the Co!umbu9 and In dianapolis Railroad, on Saturday evening, reached a crossing about a mile east of Ur bana, Ohio, it struck a one-horse cariiage, in which were a man, wife and three children, in the middle, throwing the horse off on one side and the carringe with its inmates on the other; yet nobody, not even the horse, was injured. One of the children, the baby, was deposited so near the track that the passing car wheels almost touched it, but it lay quiet and was unhurt. It is asserted by the Radical journals that Governor Geary's name was used in connection with the Gettysburg "dance of death" without his knowledge or consent. To this the Gettysburg Compiler answers : "We know that the ball card was arranged at the Springs' Hotel on Tuesday evening, whilst Geary was staying there. Is it likely under the circumstances, that he would have been assigned the prominent position of Master of Ceremonies' without his knowl edge or consent?" An old lady named Sparhawk, at Wal pole, N. II., last Saturday, was sitting in a room with some other women and her graud son, a boy of eleven years, when the report of a pistol was suddenly heard and she fell dead upon the floor, with a ball in her brain. Although the report was distinctly heard by several persons, and the smoke was seen, no one was able to tell where the ball came from, or who fired it, but on Monday the boy confessed that he did the deed. He had had a quarrel with his grandmother, and. said he did it "to get the eld critter out of the way." A drowning casualty that was surround ed with peculiar and affecting circumstances occurred in Newark on the afternoon of the 10th inst. Albert G. Drecker. an employee of the Newark and New York railroad at the Passaic river drawbridge,was closing the draw j-estenlay, when his son, a boy 10 years of age, fell from the bridge into the river be low. A passenger train was coming swiftly down, and barely sufficient time remained to close the bridge, but. the father remained at his post while tho lad was sturggling in the water, closed and locked the bridge, and then plunged in to rescue his son. But the boy could not be found, until, after an hour's search, the lifeless body was dragged up from the bottom of the river. , The latest returns from the election in Maine on Monday indicate a majority for Chamberlain. (Rad.) of 6,000. Last year the Republican majonty for Grant was 27, 000. This is a "straw" indicating the re vulsion which is takine place in public fen tiraent. When the Maine chance ia gone there is, small hone for radicaliauji T51E BLGISTUY L.Av. WHAT MJST BE DONE IS OKDEB TO VOTE. REAP, EXPLAIN AND CIRCULATE SEE THAT I0CR NAMB IS ON THE LIST.
