Cambria Freeman. - EDBSDVIIG, PA. TiiciiSDAr Morning, : May 12, 1870. , Geary at "Sweet Sixteen." When the negroes of Harrisburg celebrated tLe ratification of the fifteenth amendment, John W. Ocarjr was invited to address them. As it is the easiest thing in the world for a natural orator like Geary to make a speech on any given subject, of course he complied with the request of his new political allies, and, among other straDge and wonderful things, gave utterance to the following : "I do not and never did consider it disgrace ful to say 1 was mi abolitionists, although 1 was sixteeu years of age before I ariived at that point. And now how grateful to my heart is it that during my life, from sixteen earsof age to the present time, I have never hesitated to give my voice and riht band," etc. We have always known, since Geary be came Governor, that his reputation for truth among his political friends who have had access to the executive chamber, has been at a ruinous discoun t- But that he would at tempt in a public address to surpass Mun chausen himself, shows a degree of brass which we did not suppose that even Geary possessed. When he made the above sweeping decla ration, did he suppose that it would be be lieved, and that it would not be received with a shout of derision ? If he rightly pre sumed on the ignorance of the gable crowd that stood before him a to his early political career, he should have known at least that there are persons living in this section of the State to whom it h perfectly familiar. Does he forget that at one time he had a local hab itation and a name in Cambria county ? He was then only a few. years beyond "6weet sixteen." Who then roared more lustily against the old Whig party, and in favor of D-'tnocratic men and measures, than he who is now Governor and who was then Cleik to the Superintendent of the old Portage Rail Road. At that time he had the same love and sympathy for an abolitionist that a wolf has for a lamb. While residing in this county he support ed James K. Polk for President, and, for the manner in which he displayed his zeal for that gentleman, succeeded in getting himself into the Court of Quarter Sessions? Was he an abolitionist when he went to the Mexican war as the captain of a company of Cambria county democrats 1 Did he be long to that party when President Pierce sent him to California and to Kansas ? Had he a single drop of abolition blood in his veins when, in the winter of 18G5, after hit return from the war and in anticipation of receiving the derwmatic nomination for Gov ernor, he wrote his famous letter t Sam. Maguire. of Philadelphia, in which he (Gea ry) boasted that he was a democrat "with out prefix or affix" 7 The. answers to all these questions are eapy, and stamp Geary as tho lowest type of a demagogue, in pan dering to the prejudices of the negroes who listened to his self-laudatory but mend.tcious harangue ou the occasion referred to. How humiliating it is to be cursed with a Gover cor who can stoop so low as to thus basely falsify his own political record for the mere purpose of exciting negro applause ! Tbe Radical Convention. The Radical County Convention, a full re port of the proceedings of which is given in cur local department, met in the Court House on Monday last and was called to order by C. T. Roberts, Chairman of the County Com mittee. There are forty election districts in the county, all cf which were represented, and from five of the northern districts tico nets of delegates presented their respective credentials. On a preliminary test question, not including tbe vote of the contested dis tricts, Daniel J. Morrell scored 44 and A. A. Barker 26. The report of the Commit tee on Contested Seats, which was a packed Committee in the interests cf Mori ell, ad-, mi t ted six cf his delegates and four adhe rents of the political fortunes of Barker, thus giving Morrell 50 votes and Barker SO. Harry Boggs was then elected permanent Chairman of the Convention, and Morrell was declared to be the choice of the Conven tion by a vote of 50 to 80 for Barker. Res olutions endorsing Grant's administration and highly eulogistic of Morrell were ffered. The thirty friends of Barker, on a call for the yeas and naya, stubbornly refused to vote for the Morrell resolution. One of the Barker delegates had previously offered a protest against MorrelPs nomination, which the friends of tbe latter refused by yeas and nays to permit to be read, and the docu ment was handed back to the gentleman who offered it. Tbe Morrell faction then ijominated a County Committee, the friends of Barker refusing to take any part in this branch of the proceedings. A resolution was then adopted by the Morrell clique de claring against the nomination of a county ticket until after the meeting of tbe Demo, cratic Convention, the Barker men voting No. A motion to adjourn was then carried by Morrell's friends, who thereupon retired from tbe Court room. The Barker phalanx, the immortal thirty, then took possession of the Court room, organized and nominated as their candidate for Congress, Samuel Calvin, Esq., of Hollidaysburg familiarly known as "Tariff" Sam'' and then adjourned. The feeling exhibited between the rival houses of Morrell and Barker, was intensely bitter, and manifested itself throughout the entire proceedings of the convention. The friends or Barker showed that they meant business and exhibited great pluck and deter mination. The peculiar appliances, how ever, so well known to Morrell's understrap pers in a political contest, were too potent for the Barker wing of the party, and by their skillful use accomplished the desired ret alt. It is s pretty fight in this county just as it stands, but does cot lessen our confidence ' in Morrell's nomination by tbe Congress ional Conference this lesson is to be learn ed from the action of the Convention : That although Barker is perfectly familiar with tiie sliook business, he has never studied the mysterieb of pig metal, and of him it may be said : Alan ! wbnt perils To c-nviron Tho man who middles with coll iron! Tardj Justice. At the election held iu October, 1868, Furman Shcppard, the democratic candidate for District Attorney for Philadelphia, was elected over his radical opponent, Charles Gibbons, by about twelve hundred majority. Gibbous contested the seat, and, after along and tedious investigation, the Court rendered a decision declaring him (Gibbons) elected. The Judge who delivered the opinion was F. Carroll Brewster, who immediately re signed and was appointed Attorney General by his friend Geary. Several other moves were made on the political chess-board about the same time, all of which caused much sur prise atd were said to have grown out of this decision of Brewster. Mr. S'jeppard, know ing that he had been wronged, succeeded in ! getting a rehearing of tho case, and last week the Court, composed of three republicans and ono democrat, unanimously decided that Mr. Sheppard had been legally elected. John Covode. who was Chairman of the Radical State Committee when Mr. Sheppard was turned out of his office by Brewster's decision, just after the October election, was naturally connected with all this dirty busi ness. How could it be otherwise? The Philadelphia Bay, in referring to the case, says : "If this closer scrutiny had been exercised in October Isst, it would have prevented the wrong decision and spared the State the shame of i corrupt bargain, consummted between her Governor, one of her Representatives in Congress, and a judge of one of her courts. Yet, it may be better that the publi." has learn ed the nature of thi bargain, the manner of fulfilment, and who were capable of making and concluding it. It is certainly proper that the rxple should understand how their Attor ney General acquired hit position, and why it was given him by the Governor ; and it is equally fit that the citizens of the Twenty-first Congressional District should know why their representative is called ' honest J ohn Covode.' " When the Georgia bill whs retnrned from tbe Senate to the House with amendments, three weeks ago, it was referred to the Re construction Committee of which Benjamin F. Butler is the chairman. Prompt action ou the part of the House committee was ex pected, not that much was hoped from it for the beet interests of the people of Geor gia, but in order that tbey might know where they stood and with what additional ignominious terms they would be asked to comply. Just at this time Butler had an excuse for posting off to Massachusetts, and an arrangement was entered into by the other members of the Reconstruction Committee of the first part and Butler of the second part, by which it was agreed that the com mittee should not take any action on the bill until" Butler would return on the 6th of May. This is the mauner in which legisla tion is conducted at Washington when the interests of a State are involved, and shows the supreme influence which a bad man like Butler exercises over the action of a raIical Congress. Why should this thing have been done ? Must the wheels of legislation abso lutely 6top during the absence of this milita ry charlatan, but Congressional autocrat? Is the most important legislation to be held in abeyance until Butler again appears on the scene of action and cracks bis whip over his obsequious slaves? Of what material must a House be composed that will thus meekly bend to the arrogant demands of this Massachusetts disturber of the country's peace ? It is a humiliating reflection, and shows the utter political demoralization which the country has reached, when the rights of a sovereign State of the Union are made to depend on the mere whim or cap rice of such a persistent enemy to the public weal as Butler. We make room this week for Mr. Persh ing's reply to the second communication of Daniel McLaughlin, Esq. We have not deemed it necessary to express any opinion in regard to the merits of the controversy, although we entertain a very decided view of it. The issue out of which it has arisen is dead and buried, with no bright prospect of ever being successfully revived. Its most boisterous advocate may, like Owen Glens dower, hereafter call spirits from the vasty deep and will sadly disappoint public ex pectation if he does not. But, uwill tbey come"? All the questions in dispute be tween the parties to this discussion have been thoroughly and exhaustingly ventilated. Every thing terrettial must have an end; and so far as the columns of the Freeman have been or may be used to spread this lengthy controversy before its readers, that desirable point of time has been reached in our present issue. Roofing Slate. It will be seen by an advertisement in this paper that the Twin City Slate Company are prepared to furnish to builders or slaters their dark blue colored roofing 6late, from their quarres located in Northampton couuty. Pa., at quarry prices. This will afford our builders a rare opportu nity to secure fire proof coverings for their buildings at a slight addition to the ordinary expense of a combustible shingle roof. The Northampton county slate is conceded to be superior for roofing purposes to any in the United States perhaps in the world ; and when it is remembered that a slate roof out lasts twenty shingle ones, it will readily be seen that it is far the most economical. We doubt not our citizens will avail them selves of the opportunity presented by the above company, and purchase slate for their buildings now in progress, or hereafter to be built. E. L Goodwin is the agent of the company, and his office is in Brewer's Build ing, Duquesue Way, Pittsburg. Pan'l M'Farland, after passing through the ordeal of a trial of twenty five days' du ration, has at last, on Tuesday of this week, been acquitted of the morder of Albert D. Richardson on the grounds of insanity. The verdict was received with great applause by the large crowd of spectators in attend" j ance. I The Removal Farce Still pn the Boards Sir. Pershing's Rejoinder. From the Johnstown Democrat. Mr. Daniel McLaughlin, smarting under his self-inflicted disgrace, has again appeared before the public in the columns of the last Democrat, having heralded his approach by a card in the Tribune of the previous week, promising some new developments. Mr. McLaughlin expresses himself as "pleased" that I was found by his Vide" in the Demo.rat of the 20th ult. He is sin cere in this, no doubt, and therefore tbe somewhat violent language he employed, when he first discoveied ray reply by the side of bis confession of puilt, must have been used in mere jest. Not only is Mr. McL. pleased with my company, but my letters are especially the subject of his at tention, as he pot only reads those intended for him, but carefully opens and retains any addressed to other parties of which he obtains possession. Mr. McL. draws upon his fancy when be supposes I am indignant wi.h the "respect able citizens who signed the call" for the publication of my letter. It may interest him, and those who use him, to leara that m "dread of exposure" was so great that I especially requested some gentlemen to sign the call, and authorized them to request others to do the same thing, so that my let ter might be given publicity. Mr. McIauhliE still labors to make it appear that Mr. Scbnatteily was not in Harrisburg, and that he (McL ) was there fore excusable in opening tbe letter address ed to Mr. 3. If Mr. S. had been a thousand miles away, McLiugh'iu's dishonorable con duct would not be mitigated in the least. Flimsy and contemptible as this defence is, it will not avail him. Since writing my former communication, I have seen John Porter. Esq., who is positive that Mr. Schoatterly was in HarrUburg on the Mon day that "Mr. McLaughlin reached there. Mr. Porter stated to me that Mr. S. proposed to postpone some business requiring his atteutiou at home, and remain till the next day and assist in defeating the bill for the removal of the county seat, if Mr. Portei desired him to do so. Mr. Porter informed Mr. S. that the bill would be defeated with out bis vote, and Mr. Schoatterly left Harrisburg on Monday evening, several hours after McL. was in the city. Mr. Bolton's telegraphic dispatch does not relieve McL. in the least. If Mr. Porter is correct, as no doubt he is, McL.'s Btory about the absence of Schnatterlv is uutrue ; and I here repeat, in reply to his call for proof, that I have strong reasons for believing that my letter to Mr. S. was opened by this pink of honesty before his ariiva! iu Har.isburg, and that he purposely avoided finding the party to whom it was addressed and who alone had tbe right to open it. I did not give Mr. McL. sentence by sen tence the contents of the Schoatterly letter when I handed it to him, but, as I said in my first reply to his attack, I explained it to him. McL. himsell gives a sentence from tbe letter, as coramuuicated to him at the time by me. Why should I give the sub stance of that and not the balance? Why not tell the whole truth, Mr. McLaughlin ? Mr. McLaughlin must aspire to the char acter of a profound moral philosopher. He "supposes" that if "neither Brown cor Schoatterly were there," and he had returned tbe "letters unopened" to me, he would not only be censured in the "strongest terms," but be left open to the "strougest suspi cions" that he was betraying somebody ; and. therefore, as tbe only way in which he could escape tho ''strongest censure" and be relieved from the "strongest suspicious" as the best means of proving to the world that he was pure and honorable, and could be trusted he allowed his "itching fingers" to tear open another man's letter, and till retains it from the rightful owner ! "Under the circumstances the letter was mine," says McLaughlin ; and, by purity of reasoning, if the letter had contained auything of value, that would be "mine" too, as the right to keep the one thing is just as defensible as the right to keep the other. Of such puerilities is the defense of abase act made up. The vilest treachery might in this way be excused. Mr. McL. expresses great regret that he did not withhold Mr. Brown's letter from him. Had he done this, it would not have much intensified the scorn which everywhere meets him. Are you sure, very sure, Mr. McL-, that Mr. Brown's letter was not opened before handing it to him ? This is not a mere idle interrogatory ; I have some ground for propounding the question. The attempt to throw doubt on the state ment written to me by Mr. Brown, (which I have shown to a number of persons.) by Mr. McL. introducing what a "member" told him. is rather shallow. I suspect the "member" is a myth. As I have always found Mr. Brown to be a gentleman a man incapable of interfering with any man's private correspondence I must be excused, if on any question of veracity between him and Mr. McLaughlin. I believe Mr. Brown. As corroborative of the suspicion that Mr. Brown's letter was tampered with. Mr. McL. professes to know its contents. He says "it was tho letter to Mr. Brown that we claim was instrumental in defeating it" (the bill.) How do you know what the contents of the letter to Mr. Brown were? Can't you in troduce another member to relieve you? If you have a copy of Mr. Brown's letter, I challenge its publication. Says Mr. McL., "Certaiuly we all knew, and so did Mr. Pershing, as he acknowl edges, know that Messrs. Brown antl Scbuatterly were opposed to the bill." Then how did either the letter to Mr. S., which was opened and never delivered, or the letter to Mr. Brown, which was gracious ly handed to him, defeat the bill ? The trou ble is, the bill was dead before I went to Harrisburg. and the doctors having it in charge failed to infuse new life into it. I feel very much gratified on one point : Mr. McL. declares bis speeches about the "minions" and "fraudulent naturalizations" were not secret or confidential, and that I violate no confidence in giving extracts from them. I assure Mr. McL. that had his elo quent lips, on the occasions referred to. been "sealed" even with mucilage, no considera tion could have induced me to make his ut terances public. He repays my attention to bim in this respect by resurrecting a newspaper coutroversy I had some years ago with Hon. D. J. Morrell. That was a con test between gentlemen, in which Mr. McL. would not have been a participant. It was settled as gentlemen always adjust their con troversies, and we now "have peace." It is too late for Mr. McL. to get himself in between Mr. Morrell and myself on the sub ject of that controversy. As neither Mr. m. nor i ever did, or ever will, get down to the iufamy of opening private lettejs, Mr. McL. would not feel at home in our com pany. I have no recollection of eoine "indori. ousiy uooer" at that time. I think I went gloriously np on the top wave of the largest majority ever given by the incorruptible freemen of Cambria county. Mr. McLaughlin is mistaken in bis posi tive assertion that I have in my possession the letter written by me to Mr. Brown. I have not seen, it since the. day I handsel it to Mr. McL., He is also mistaken in "be lieving" that the bill for the removal of tbe county seat was submitted to me. I have never seen it. It was forwarded to Harris burg in my absence. I am glad to learn that it was so ably drawn and that it guard ed bo carefully against colonizing votes. The proviso on that subject, for which Mr. McL. inquires which 1 suggested, had the same object in view, and would have secured it. Mr. McL thinks it strange that I did not give the replies I made to the arguments of the opponents of tbe bill. That would be a work of some labor. The sum of the an swers he can find in my former communica tion, viz : that the whole question was to be decided by a vote of the people. Mr. McL. also affects surprise that I did not make kuown to him the objections I heard urged. I naturally supposed they were already known to him. Am I to infer that be knew nothing cf the objections made by the op ponents of the bill, till they appeared, through me, in the Democrat? 1 was in Harrisburg but once during the winter, and then for less than twenty-four hours. Mr. McLaughlin spent much of his time thre during the session, took upon himsell the leadership, expected others to report to him, and now intimates that he never heard the objections of. which 1 spoke! If he had knowledge of tbem he is now guilty of de ception. If be bad cot, he is unfit for the place into which he thrust himself, and tbe defeat of tho bill is easily accounted for. In his former article Mr. M'L. spoke of the "leading friends of the bill." I am curi ous to loam how many friends the bill bad, as not even two members could be found on the floor of the House, when tbe bill came up, to demaud the yeas and nays. What was Mr M'L. doiDg in Harrisburg, besides visiting his brother-iu-law ? Did he do any thing? Did ho secretly connive at the de feat of the bill, so as to keep the question open, in the hope it would result to his own advantage? Certainly tbe people of this community contributed their money to keep him and others at Harrisburg to little pur pose, if he did not learn what objection was madft to tbe measure, and could not secure as many as tiro members out cf ono hundred to call the yeas aud Days. But Mr. M'L. aunounces his intention tf 'eschew iug" party politics in this question. I think by the time I get through with him he will also conclude- upon hereafter "es chewing" the opeuing of private letters. I agree with bim, that upon important local questions success can only be obtained through unauimity of counsel and action. It was the tear that party politics were not "eschewed" that induced many to withhold their support from the removal movement. Could the proceedings of two secret meetings which wcie held by certain parlies, and to which care was taken not to invite. me, be made'public, it would clearly appear that these fears had a substautial basis. There was unanimity among our people up to the time of the defeat of the first bill. What course was then taken, and by whom, to in troduce dissensions, is as well known to Mr. M'L. as to any other mau iu the community. Mr. M'Laughlin states that the bill "came before the House the day it was reported by the Coromittea." Aud here again he is either gtiilty of deception or of inexcusable ignorance. A bill, after its rsport from the committee, is numbered, sent to the printer, and on its return is filed, and remains on the file till it is reached in regular order ; then it is "before the House" for action, aud not before. Days, and, at some stages of the business, even weeks, ma' intervene between the report of the committee and the comiDg of the bill before the House. Mr. M'L. is "correctly informed" as to my support of the new couuty biil iu 1854. 1 have always supported to the extent of my pecuniary means and ability, in a lair and honorable way, any measure intended to promote the prosperity of our peopl e. Iu some respects I think a new county now preferable to any other Echeme that has been devised. I cannot discuss that question here, but am ready to lay aside party politics on any question of the kind, provided others do the same thing instead of plotting for some mean advantage. There is one matter connected with this controversy to which Mr. M'Laughlin has made no allusion in his printed articles, al though I am well advised that he has in his conversations spokeu very freely on the sub ject. I refer to the fact that he came to my house, and received the letters entrusted to him, on Sunday afternoon. In apologizing for his intrusion, and pressing me to yield my convictions, he professed to believe that no wrong would be done on my part, "unoer the circumstances," in complying with bis request. I did what 1 believed to be wrong, in deferenco to him. Ha got tho letters, and left my house with a smile on his lips and treachery in his heart. My knowledge of human nature should have taught me that the man who could presi st outly ask another to violate his conscience could not be trusted. I now notify all who may desire letters from me that they need not call on Sunday. My first experience in Sunday letter writing shall be my last. Mr. M'L. is very lender of the reputation of Gen. Campbell. He says, referring to nr.y former reply, "As to his pitch into Gen. Campbell I merely say, that that gentleman needs no defence from me." No verily; but "I will merely say" that M'L. badly needs a defence from Gen. Campbell. I stated, iu my former reply, that I did not believe what M'L stated about Gen. Camp bell ; and I can now inform Mr. M'L. that Gen. Campbell has publicly aud repeatedly pronounced a material part of what Mll has published concerning bim to be entirely destitute of truth. I give it in a milder form than Gen. C. did. but what I have stated is sufficient to put Mr. M'L. en inquiry as to his character for truth and veracity. Mr. M'L. thinks I do not write "honest letters." lie needs "light" as to what hon esty is. My letteis are honest enough ; that quality appears alone lacking in tbe mau who undertook to deliver them to the parties entitled to receive them. Mr. M'L. caunot escape the consequences of his disreputable conduct by putting on a bold front. His conduct will lash bim lor his double treach ery to the last day of his life. As if in an ticipation of the general verdict which must at last be rendered by all honorable men, he has, in advance, written his own epitaph "Ingloriously Under" and there, for the present, 1 leave him.

John Hoover, residing within three miles of this place, lost bis life on Wednesday last while at woik on Goodfellow's Saw Mill, under the follow ing circumstances : lie went to the mill about nine o'clock, and not coming to din ner some one repaired to the mill, about one o'clock, and there found him corded on the bull wheel, dead and mangled in tbe most horrible manner. It appears from the sur roundings that the first thing he done after he went on the mill, was to draw a log out of a pond ; in attempting to prevent the rope from "piling up" on the wheel, he was evidently caught by the hand and drawn upon the wheel, and the rope wrapped around him. His legs head and arms were all ponnded into a jelly, caused by striking the timbers while revolving around with the wheel. The rope had broke, but he was still held tight to the wheel when found. Mr. Hoover was a single man about 30 years of age. If is Dot long since a death was cau.sed at Messrs. Bigler's Mill, near this place through similar carelessness. Clearfield Republican.

Once more comes up in Congren the prop osition to revive and extend the Freedmen's Bureau, onder tbe guiaeof providing for tbe education of tbe Southern black. But why should tbe people of the North be taxed to educate these ntgroes ? They or their friends have possession of the State governments of the South, and if there is really euch an overpowering thirst for knowledge among the freedmen. why don't thse State govern ments give it to tbem ? They cau alwayt raise money enough for a railway job or other speculation, and why not appropriate something to the establishment and mainte nance of negro schools ? South Carolina ne groes contribute nothing towards the edu cation of white cbildreu in Illinois, and why should llliuois be taxed millions to educate the negro children of South Carolina? It is not equal rights. But we all know what this revival of the bureau means, it is in reality as little ed ucation as the original-bureau was charity, but now, as then, a political device, a trick, a means of sustaining in the South an army of bt-ar-kaders to bring the DCgroes up promptly to the, polls. The cost of any re vivitication of this policy will be enormous. It will far exceed that of the old bureau, since that was local and temporary ; this is meant to be permanent and universal. In the remotest hamlet in the South a "teach erv" i. a political agent, is contemplated. All the teaching he will ever do will be to train the young blacks up in the most dia bolical hatred of tbe whites, and thus pave the way for years of future trouble. His main function will be to reorganize loyal leagues ; fiud out Klu Klux in every bush, after the fashicn of the old Puritan witch catchers ; breed "outrages" to order ; tell lies about the South generally ; and. in a word, renew and amplify each diriy office apper taining to the days of the old bureau. We want no such disturbing scheme as this. The country is just beginning to set tle, and a revivification of the bureau will reopen the old sore. We are taxed too much already, and caunot stand the additional robbery the suppoit of this institution would be. If there is such a vital necessity to ed ucate the young blacks and so "make them woitby" of the ballot, as Grant said, forget ting that they have it already without being worthy, then let tbe negro State govern ments of the South provide for such educa tion. These governments have the power to raise money for educational purpose , and in the reconstructed constitutions are the most stringent provisions commanding the establishment and proper support of a school system. Why, then, come ou the North ? But for the immensity of the robbery con templated, one would say tbe most amazing thing in this contemplated swindle was its impertinence. The implied idea is that having freed the black we must enfranchise him ; having enfranchised him we must give bim an education ; and then do doubt when we have educate! him give him a towD honse and a country seat, while we pinch ourselves to foot tha bill. We suggest to Congress that gome better principle than this must be found to daub over the pro rosed re-establintment of the bureau. X. Y. World. MAY, 1870. THE BEST YET! THE CHEAPEST YET!!
