JU 32. as Cumbria Freeman. EIIEASIil'ItG, PA. Thcrsiay Morning, : Jckk 1G, 1870. Tbe Johnstonu Address. It was our intention, aa we stated last week, to notice in detail tbe suppressions of truth, aa well as the suggestions of falsehood, contained in tbe Address direct ed to the Editors of tbe Johnstown l)em' ccrot and Johnstown Tribune, on the question of the removal of the county seat. After' having read n second time this high pounding bulletin, which bristles all over, like the fretful quills of a porcupine, with unfounded assumptions and still baser conclusions, we are appalled at the mag nitude of the fast we had set before us, find will content ourselves with exposing a few only of its most prominent misrep resentations. It is quite unimportant who is its author, and yet every line in it be trays its undoubted paternity. We are very certain, that there is but one member of the legal profession in Johrstown, who is capable of committing so many villain ous and damnable Bins against all the well known rules of syntax, as are to be found in this mendacious production. For that unpardonable offence, however, there is no remedy. The writer sets out with the promise of giving "a brief history of the contest for court privileges and the county seat between Ebensburg and the south of the county," and as a part of that 'contest,' proceeds to say : "For a number of years prior to the legisla tive sessiou of lSe.9. bills erecting a District Court fur the southern part of Cambria coun ty, were from time to time, pressed by the people upon their representatives at llarris- burg, but, for reasons lately dicelured, no la vorable action was obtained." We pronounce this to be a falsehood, pure and simplo, and the writer of the Address knew it to be so when he penned the paragraph. We assert that wivr, prior to the Legislative session of 18C9, was such a project as "a District Court or the southern part of Cambria county" ever heard of, nor was any bill for that purpose ever "pressed by the people upon theuy-epresenta lives at Harrisburg." Cy rus L. l'crshing, Esq , was first elected to the Assembly in 18CI and continued to represent this county until he was suc ceeded by John 1. Linton, Esq , in Octo ber, 18CG, who was re-elected in 18G7, and neither of these gentlemen will say that during their respective tcims as mem bers of the- House, they ever heard of a bill to organize a ''District Court" at Johnstown. The project was first men tioned and talked about early in the spring of 1869. Its friends, and especially the author of this address, limited its jurisdic tion to $500 and declared, that if the bill in that shape became a law every difficulty would be removed nd the controversy ended. The Court, as the bill finally passed, was limited in its jurisdiction to $200, which we believed then and still believe to have been below the proper amount. This disposes of that portion of the Address. "After the adjournment of the Legislature Ebensburg turned its attention to other meas ures calculated to forestall agitation of the re moval of tbe county eeat, and obtained a recommendation of two grand juries condemn ing the county jail, and authorizing the con struction of a new one." We do not know certainly when the Legislature of 18G9 adjourned, but pre sume it was on the 16th or 17th of April, as the general appropriation bill was ap proved by the Governor on the former day. The charge in the foregoing para graph is, that the erection of a new jail was not thought of, or the necessary legal steps taken to bring about its erection, until "o7tr the adjournment of the Legisla ture." It was then that this "obsolete" village of Ebensburg, as some of the mag nates of Johnstown, contemptuously style it, became alarmed at the passage of the bill erecting the District Court, and ''ob tained a recommendation of two Grand Juries condoming the county jnil and au thorizing the construction of a new one.'' Th is is falsehood number two. The re cords of the Court show, and they at leaFt never lie, that the first presentment of the Grand Jury in favor of the erection of a new jail was made on the 6th of March 18G9 at least one month and ten days before the final adjournment, and cue montJi and seven days before tho passage of the District Court bill. The simple state ment of this fact disposes of the question of time involved in the above paragraph end of the ten ible things that Ebensburg did not resort to after the adjournment of the Legislature. Tho stuff, not argument, in tho Address against the legal right of the County Com missioners to purchase the necessary ground on which to erect the jail, we will not notice, for the reason that a bill in equity is now pending in the Court to re strain the Commissioners from proceeding any further with the construction of the building, and a newspaper is not the prop er medium through which to discuss pend ing judicial proceedings. "All the Rail Road districts would prefer to tonio to Johnstown and a number of districts with such lofty lying as this. It is a foul libel. The. men who could commit to paper, the broad declaration that "a num ber of districts in the north of the county would prefer Johnstown for Court purpo ses" or that even one intelligent roa in any one northern district of the county would so prefer, is a fit subject for a luna tic asylum, and lis next of kin ought te "go for him" at once. The man who is reckless enough to assert that citizens of the remote northern sections of the county, who can reach the Court House at Ebensburg by traveling fifteen or twenty miles, would "prefer"' to go thirty-five miles further, in order to get to the imperial city of Johns town, ought not to be permitted to go at lare. He is a dangerous man and should not be trusted. Some men of intelligence signed this Address, and the flst embraces the name of the venerable Nestor of the Cambria County Har, who has thereby endorsed its shameless misstatements. We think it reasonably certain, from the manner adopted of procuring signatures to this address, as well as to almost any ether production in leference to an exciting question, that about one-half of the men whose names are appended to this mani festo, which of course they never read, could be made to appear as having signed a petition to hang him as high as Ilaman. We will not enlarge on the question any further, for we doubt not our readers will be wearied with what we have already written. Terrible Conflagration and Loss or JLIIe iu Constantinople.

It was heralded by the Republican press, in advance, as the opening of the campaign of the Presiden tial election in 1872, and the Uadicals seemed to be willing ,and prepared to stand or fall by the result. The Kadical papers, in turning their eyes westward to the Pacific coast for relief, had forgotten that the next Presidential campaign had commenced in the east some time before the Oregon election was held and imme diately after the fraudulent ratification of l the so called fifteenth amendment. Con necticut and New Yoik the latter State most signally had repudiated the admin istration and all its works. And now the distant, but gallant and patriotic, IState of Oregon has nobly responded to the verdict of her two Democratic sisters in the far east. It is true, that like the sword wound in Mercutio's arm, the majority is "neith er as deep as a well nor as wide as a barn, door," but it will do. It has resulted in the choice of a Democratic Governor, a Member of Congress and a Democratic majority on joint ballot in the Legislature, thus securing the election of a Democrat to the United States Senate in place of Williams one of the present Kadical in cumbents. That the people are sick and disgusted with Radicalism generally, both in the aggregate and in the detail, and with the fifteenth amendment in particu lar, is becoming more and more evident ; and "that they are fully determined to wrest from it the power which it so shame lessly and corruptly abuses, is a settled and foregone conclusion. . That precious carpet-bag tcamp, Wiiit tkmokk, telegraphed last week to his spe cial ftiend and defender, Be 1cti.ei:, that his negro constituents had re-elected him to Congress by more than eight thou sand of a majority. No sane man anticU pated any different result. What capaci ty have the ignorant negroes of his district to form a just estimate of the infamy of his offence? What do they know about a West Point cadetship, or of its corrupt sale? How different was the fate ot Goixoday of Kentucky. He was guilty of the same crime as Whittemoke, and like him resigned his seat in order to avoid expulsion. He went back to his ichite constituents and demanded that thpy should return him to tho seat he had dis. graced. But they spurned him with loathing and contempt. Whether tho Kadical majority in Con gress will permit WiuttkmorU; to take his seat, remains to be seen. They have done worse things than that. His admis sion or rejection involves a great principle, which, in the celebrated case of John Wii.kks, produced intense excitement in England". The New York Tribune opposes his admission,. and the chances are that he will not be permitted to enjoy Congression al honots and emoluments with his friend and companion in infamy, Kodekic Ran iom 15urt-EK, of Tennessee. There-election of Whittemoue, under all the cir cumstances of the case, establishes the fact conclusively, that negroes are not fit to exercise the right of suffrage. The account received through the ocean telegraphic cable and published by us last week relative to the brutal and indiscrim inate slaughter of the Jews in Roumania, Turkey, by the Christians, turns out to have been a cruel and malicious hoax. It is difficult to conceive what motive cnnM in thft.north ol the Countv woujd a.Iso rreter i i -, , -i,r.

' I tiGry was a Purc invention. We hope It is disgusting to bo compelled to deal I 3 tuC :lPt lale of horror we will hear, his behalf. The Washington Chronicle, the organ of the administration, sustained him with all its ability, while its editor (Foeney) made a canvass of tho entire city in his behalf, making the most vio lent and frantic appeals to the negroes to vote for their friend Bowen. So great was the interest felt in his success, that Kadical members of Congress became his champions. But it was aJl of no avail, nnd Washington will not in tho future be disgraced by a mongrel government, cor rupt and profligate beyond all former pre cedent. Congressman Kei.i.ey, from Philadel phia, was one of Eovvan's most enthu siastic supporters speech which he m in favor of his election. If any other Radical member of Cor the city in favor of I depth than Kku.ky reached in this dis gu?ting specimen of demagogueism, we do not know his name : Fellow Citizens : I am in no condition to make a speech iu the opfn air, hut I have come to say a oui in Invor of Mr. ISowen, because 1 believe him to he an honest utid ca pable Ret ubiican, and one who was jour friend when it was danperous lor nny one to befriend you in the city oi Washiiigton.

The train arrived in Ilariisburg on last Thursday evening. A. son of Simon's, called Don for thort, had started in ad vance along the rail road, to make the necessary preparations tor the important event about to transpire. Gkant went to M'Kean county, in this State, last year, to catch trout, but as he was then fishing out of season, he was fined for a violation of the law. The penalty however was paid by Gen. Kane, who had invited him into the wilderness of M'Kean to indulge in the pleasaut pas time of angling. On the present occasion, however, Grant is acting within the law of April 18C9, ar.d-is therefore not amenable for any violation of its provi sions. Simon docs all fishing with a golden or greenback hook, and has generaUy made a fine catch. What success he and Grant have had in hooking trout with a brown fly in the swollen and turbid waters of Young Woman's creek, in Clinton county, we cannot say. We would not bet a three cent postage stamp on the size of their siring, if the windows of heaven have been as wide open in the region of the Sinne mahoning, s they have been here. The immortal Gkapy is not of the fishing party. Owing to a little late un pleasantness between him and Simon, he has been left out in the cold. This is not as it should be.

Perhaps the first acci dent of the kind and certainly it is a singular one occurred on' Tuesday after ncon, east of this place, on the Marietta and Cincinnati railroad: A man named Crown, brakeman on a freight train going wes, went forward to the engine and took a seat in front, with his legs elangling over the cow-catcher. He had been ridin in this position some time, the train going bowling along at a good rate, when sud denly, iu passing over a heavy board that was nailed lengthwise of tho track, the point of the cow-catcher caught in the end of the board and rent off a large sliver, almost three inches in diameter at the thickest place, which, darting up in front of the engine, caught Crown under the left thigh, passing entirely through flesh, tendons, etc., passing on and striking against the head of the boiler thus en tirely impaling the unfortunate brakeman. The engine was checked as soon as possi ble, the sliver broke off and pulled out of the leg, the wound bound up as well as could bo under the circumstances, and Mr. Crown brought to the city and taken to hi9 stopping place. Strange to 6ay, no vital injury was inflicted. Tho man is in a fair way to save both legs and life. The accident was caused by the fact that the board had warped to such a degree tinder the action of the sun as to raise the front of it above the level of tho cow catcher. Chillicothe Register. !

How long the skeltons had mure are suffering;. Tekkiule Accident. A terrible ac cident "occurred on Sunday morning last, in Pine township, this county, which re sulted in the eleath of one lady and the serious injury of several others. It seems that Mrs. James Slee-le, Mrs Kurts, Mrs. Eechtell and Miss Uingaman were in a spring wagon, and on their way to church at Templelon. In going down a hill, Miss liiugaman, who wa3 sitting on the front seat with the driver, was by some means thrown out, which frightened the horses and the driver lost ail control over them. Down the hill they dashed at a fearful rate of speed, finally upsetting the wagon and throwing the occupants in every di rection. Mrs. Steele had her collar bone broken and was badly cut about the face. Mrs. Kurts, jaw broken, scalp torn and one foot mashed. This lady is not ex pected to live. Mrs. Bechtell, collar bone broken, and her child was badly bruised and cut. Miss liingaman in falling out, had her collar bone and two or three ribs broken. Very soon after the accident, messengers were dispatched to this place for medical aid, and Drs. McCollogh, Ueynolds and Allison responded promptly and immeeliately repaired to the scene of disaster, and rendered all the assistance in their power. At last accounts all the patients were as comfortable as could be expected. A rmstrong Republican. Daniel McFakxanj, not content with his escape from convicticn of murder, pur sues his wife either with a spirit of vin dicitivness or affection which it is difficult to define. His latest movement ia an application at Indianapolis for a new trial in the divorce case. Even should his application be granted, and upon a rehear ing the petition of his wile be denied, what good can result from it to him? Legal action can restore no right to either which they have not forfeited, by human, as well as divine laws ; and a resumption by them of marital relations even if not precluded by mutual- repugnance -would draw upon them the crushing execrations of the civilized woiid. Public sentiment may be outrageel, as in the case of Sickles; social feeling may be shocked and morals ignored, as I hey are every day in Puritan free love circles ; yet we can conceive of no depth in the descending scale toward ber-n lying where they were found is of course unknown, but the bleached appear ance of the bones is evidence of long ex posure. As no children of the neighbor heiod have been lost within the memory of-the oldest resident, the most reasonable conjecture is that the little boS became separated in some manner from e.neof the emigrant trains passing through the coun try some years ago, and wandered about through the deep woods where their re mains were found, until overcome by hunger and cold, when they laid down and died. The tax on salt alone takes from the people of this country three million nine hundred thousand elollars per jcar. Ten cents per bushel is what legislation puts into the pockets of a few men oer and above the legitimate profits of their busU r.ess. Mr. McCarthy, Kadical, represents the Onondaga salt works, not the Twen tysthird district of New York, in Congress and every bushel of salt Congressman McCarthy's company sells calls for ten cents tax from tho people, for the benefit of Congressman McCarthy's salt company. And this man stands up in Congress and defends this robbery as the protection of home industry. Morrcll and McCarthy, steel and salt, are no more the represents atives of the people nf their districts than Napoleon and Dismarck would be. Age. Donn Piatt writes that the venerable Covode, known as the clown of the Cave, and the Congressman .who had his West Point cadetship sold out and failed to realize on it, got a delicious bang on his skull when he accused Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania, with making a tariff speech for his constituents, but voting cn the floer of the House with the Free Tra ders. He was told in reply that if he (Woodward) should select a biographer he would get a truthful one, and not his colleague, and that he desired to debate with honorable men, and not with a man who had stolen his seat in the House from an honest man for the purpose of selling cadctship3. Covode's Christian resignation was lost in loud cries of "or der' from all parts of tho Cave. A IIe.iMmi.E Chime Retributive Jus tic.

In the r.ion ing ; the lady told her husbMid that she and ; hr-r son were going to spend lhe day at i a neighbor's house, and if they did mt ! return that night he need not feel uneasy, j Uetwecn her own and her neighbor's farm j she was met by a negio, who violated her ! person, then murdered hor and her son. J The next morning the husband started to t his neighbor's farm to escoit his wife ami ! son home, ar.d found them on the road side brutally murdered. The news soon spread men collected investigated the matter, :nd soon were satisfied as to who was the'guilty wretch. He was arreted that day and made a f ill coiifcs.-iou of j his guilt. Whilst in the bands of an e 1IK I ise- v.'!S t.ikeri possession ol vy Use ; ce excited populace, who at once decided to ; smear hun with tar and burn him at the ' stake ; but while the party appointed'to ! procure the tar was gone, the populace ! became impatient aud hung the negro to j a tree until he was dead. His head was ! then severed from the body and posted in the Public Sq-iare of Greenville, on a stake set i i the ground in front of the Court house, and no one was allowed to remove ! it. The loaders of the populace are said to be Uadicals ; so the liadical papers cannot raise lhe howl this time in relation to one of their party being murelered by Southern Ku-Klux ! As for us, we care not who were the leaders, they did a deed that deserves commend-ition. Lot sum mary justice be inflicted in all such cases, before they get into the hands e.f 1I13 law yers.

The list of articles ar.d rates as adopted by the House of Representatives, contains eme interesting items. For example, Congress inclined to remove restrictions from suicide by admitting arsenic, which formerly paid twenty per cent., free. Hemlock, also relieved of duty, may se cure a larger measure of the favor to which ft is commended by ancient philo sophic authority as an agent of self-de struction. The bill provides for free trade in dragon's blood, which has hitherto paid ten cents a pound. No mention of dragon's teeth is made. Foreign leeches are to be admitted to free competition, although rivalry with the article produced by our domestic politics is hardly po.-.-ible. llorse or cow hair, capable of chignon duty in an emergene-y, is admitted free, there is no quotation of the human variety. The concerted" scrapings of multitudinous violins in New York next week ill prob bly result disastrourdy to fiddle-strings and promote activity in catgut, the duty on which is reduced from thirty per cent, to nothing. The old time Alderman is obsolete or the free admission of turtles would have an exceptional municipal interest which is now only general to good livers, wdio may rightfully demand a reduction of twenty per cent, on soup and steaks. - In tho political gooaip of this morning will be found a curious statement of the reason why President Grant, 'after resolviog to appoint Mr. Thomas Murphy Collector of tho Port of New York, suddenly changed his mind and retained Mr. Grm'nell. The credul ous Executive was imposed upon with a ,eoek-aud-buU" story of the complicity of Mr. Murphy ia certaiu movements of the Jetuit$ to control the next Presidential elec tion, lie was told that as soon a;. Napoleon dies tho Pope will have to quit Rome, that the Jesuits want to biing him over here, that they have converted neatly all the Southern negroes, and, with a view of lkjmauizicg tho rest of the inhabitants, thc-y piopose to make Ben. Butler, tho favorite of the blacks, the next Republican candidate for President.
