V Cambria Freeman. EDCXSBURG, PA. TnuHfUAT Morning, : Jink 30, 18V0. The correspondent of the Johnstown Tribune courts ami challenges criticism, "full, free and mnnly, of the jpnrcrie' involved in the removal question. There is nothing of the kind In it, and we have often heard of men having terribly wrenched themselves by kicking at a mere ly imaginary and unsubstantial object. Ik the- editor of the Ashland Advocate should see proper hereafter to copy into his paper an original article from the Free man, he ought, according to the well ro cognized rules of the profession, say where it came from. The instance of a viola tion of this rule in his lart issue is not the first that has come under our notice, other wise we cou Id not be so tenacious of the. right to our own property, lie as true ns Steel, Jamef, in the right, but don't be on the s teal. We. asserted in this paper two weeks ngo, in an article reviewing the Johnstown address, that, "never prior to the Legist lative session of 18G9, was such a project as a 'District CjuvC for the southern part of Cambria county ever heard of." The last Johnstown Tribune denies, for rca- eons stated, the truth of thi9 allegation and demands at onr hands a retraction. We never hnou-iugly and wilfully published a falsehood in the editorial columns of the Freeman. Of course we may and doubt less have been mistaken, in some things that we have written, but it was not done with any design to perpetrate a wilfull wrong, Yc are well nware that many years ago the question was agitated of incorporating Johnstown and the fcur rounding boroughs into a city with a "Mayors Court," similar to the act of 1851, incorporating the "Mayors Court of Ca: bonda'e." We presume that the two bills, which the editor of the Tribune says were sent to Mr. Pershing during his five years as a member of the House from this county, contained substantially the well known provision of the Carbwi dale law. This we believe to be the truth. . It there ever was a bill, prepared, of course by the attorneys in Johnstown as the Tribune admits, and sent to cithpr George N. Smith or to Cyrus L. Persu ing, asking the Legislature to organize p lDisirict Court"' at Johnstown, by that Specific title, the question can be ea.iiy fettled. There is no pretence whatever that John 1. Linton ever had any bill of the kind sent to him. Now if Cyrus L. l'erhhing will say in aTery brief commu nication, cither to the Tribune or to the Freeman, that the two bills which were sent to him, according to the allegation of the Tribune, provided for the organiza tion of a "District Court" at Johnstowu by that name, we will then withdraw all that we said on the subject in controversy, hut not until then. If the author of the communication in the last Johnstown Tribune imagines, for one moment, that he and his associates in thc'rcmoval" outrage can appear on a platform, on the so-called "Court House Square," and vent their eplecn against the citizens of this "obsolete village" with impunity, or that their fierco and vindic tive assaults will not be promptly repelled, we take this occasion to remove that im pression, and to say both to him and them, that they are laboring under a fatal delusion. In this contest there will be blows to give, as well as blows to tale, and we pledge them, collectively and indi vidually, our word that w will always return them a "Foland for their Oliverf This correspondent referred to charges us with making "personal attacks." Is it a personal attack on our part to -incite his precise language, and then to refute hia nonsense, by illustrating ils illogical conclusions, or by facts ? No other man than himself, or one whose mind is full of the wildest theories and the most fanciful crotchets, will so declare. In this appro priate supplement to his harangue on "Court House Square" there is a most singular omisbion. He has forgotten to fay a solitary word iu defence of the hard ships of his "lady of seventy," who, poor old soul, was compelled to ride in a rail road car from Johnstown to Ebensburg to prove before the llegipter, that her hubband was dead and that he had made a will. This "lady of sevtnff constituted the mo6t prominent figure in his address, and as he presented her to his audience borne down by the heavy burden she was compelled to bear, and that too, merely for the benefit ot this "obscure village," it must have been peculiarly affecting and well calculated to excite in her behalf a feeling of profound tympathy. But, to his shame be it said, he has now "gone back" on her, which is something won derful when we reflect. on his well known taste for the sensational and tragical. The celebrated Edmund Burke said, on a memorable occasion, that the age of chiv alry bad gone ; and although the abstract truth of the broad declaration was ques tioned at the time, it would really 6eeoi, from the ungaliant treatment of thia "lady cf seventy" from her sympathiser, and now corrocpondcut of the Tribune, that there is more truth tkin poetry in Burke's la- mous cxprcetiou. The Johnstown Convention. This body, which was supposed by its originators to be big with the future des tinies of Cambria couuty, met in Union Hall, in Johnstown, on last Saturday, for the purpose of nominating .a candidate for Assembly who is in favor of the visionary and transparent humbug of removing the county seat from the "obsolete village" of Ebensbura to the queen ly city of Johns- town. The arch-agitator of the move ment, Daniel McLaughlin, presided over the deliberations of the convention. We have been informed, by a gentle man who was present, that Daniel, in his address to the removal conclave, was noisy and turbulent in the extreme that he literally tore the papsions to tatters that he boiled over and frothed and fumed wilh indignation against the erection of the new jail, of as he and his co-laborers style it, the "penitentiary" and that he was more than usually abusive, if that could be possible, of the people of the "obsolete village." We will only say, that in despite of thi3 tempest in a tea pot, the new jail, or "penitentiary," or "feud al castle," as the case may be, is rapidly going upward and onward, and will con tinue so to do, and that the people of Eb ensburg, in the pleasant pursuits of peace and happiness, have thus far providential ly survived the well-meant, but harmless blows of this Sampson Agonistes of the 5th ward of Johnstown. The convention contained not less than forty nor more than forty-Jive delegates. Ttco districts in the immediate vicinity of Johnstown, viz: Conemaugh township .and Coopersdule were not represented. Why "this was thus" we are net prepared to say. The townships of Washington and Sumraerhill, and the borough of Wil rnore, were represented by s'x seif-appoint-ed delegates neither set having any known living constituents. James Potts. Esq., in pursuance of an arrangement en tered into in a private room, on the night previous to the meeting of the convention, by the leading spirits of the removal "7J(," was the recipient of the high and distinguished honor of leading the forlorn hpe of removal, to certain and ignomin ous defeat, and as he bears a military title of some significance, and as his cour age has never been doubted, it is fair to infer, that under hie strategy, aided by that of the ch'uf of his military staff, the skillful and scientific Gen. John F. Barnes, late District Attorney, the campaign pron.iees, when those two puissant chief tains "let slip the dog9 of war," to be of the most lively and exciting character. Gen. Pot's is amiable to a fault, and is one of the "mildest mannered men" with in the limits of this or any other county. We always had a kind regard for him, both personally and politically, and we congratulate him on his new fledged hon ors. Maybe wear them meekly if not lowly, and with Christian fortitude and ns'gnation. We hope, for the success of the issue soon to be determined, that Gen. Potts, as Charles Sumner once implored Edwin M. Stanton, will "slick." ye .,.inrtnj C. referred to, that a meeting was held on the mythical "Court House Square" on Saturday night, to ratify the action of the convention, and that although the aid of a first class brass band was called into requisition, and although it discoursed sweet music along the principal avenues of the city, not more than from one to two hundred of the fiiends of removal graced the aforesaid Square with their presence. Gen. Potts appeared, and amidst the most painful and oppressive silence of the vast multitude, accepted the much covet ed nomination, which was received with nary a cheer. The audience was then ad dressed by the irrepressible M'Laughlin and by Gen. liarnes, after which the de lighted and enthusiastic crowd "vamosed the ranche." Sic transit gloria removal. In our statement last week of the vote on Gen. Logan's resolution excluding Whitlemore from his seat in the Ilonse, although we gave it as tho telegraph was made to furnish it, there was a great mis take. It seems that the correct vote stood 21 for his admission and 131 against it. Among the immortal twenty-four it ia a gratification to know aud to proclaim the fact, that the name of no Democrat is to bo found. The only two members from Pennsylvania who disgraced themselves by voting to admit Whittemore to his seat, were John Cessna and William D. Kelly, both intense Radicals. This is not at all surprising, for their career in Congress conclusively shows, that when any thirty political work is to be done in tho House their votes can be counted on with absolute certainty. They will both bo candidates lor re-election next fall and their votes on this question, apart from other abundant reasons, ought to damn them in the estimation of ther constitu ents. The Democratic County Convention of Indiana county assembled on last Mon day. Gen. Foster, of Greensburg, was declared to bo tho choice of the party of that county for Congress, there being rio opposition to him. We are also gratified to announce that Samuel S. Jamison, of Saltsburg, and Col. JI. K. .Sloan, of In diana, were nominated for Assembly. Better ee'.cctiona could not have been made. A Candid Admission. On last Thurs day, .when the Congressional Apportion ment bill was under consideration in the House, Mr. Scofleld, Radical, from the Warren district in this State, made the following confession, every word and sen tence of which are literally true. It is a brief but comprehensive statement of what has heretofore been the hypocritical policy f ,ue Radical party in Congress and will be accepted as the undisguised truth: "Hp remembered thnt at the close of the war, whenever any lireat vnnijr was to be ilone in the House, it tvn done in the name ol the wjI diers ; and now that that was played out, when ever any threat fraud was to be perpetrated, it was to be done in the name of the blacks." If this is not a perfect and complete epitome of Radical legislation" for the last five year?, we have utterly failed to under stand it. Life Ixscrance for P-uesidknt Grant A 3fan Who Ought to be in the Cobnut. Provision for his family is the duty of every man, and President Grant is not to be found remiss in his duty while his offi cial position enables him to perform it satisfactorily and easj'. He is now in easy circumstances fur-all his life, made so by gifts from patriotic gentlemen who have found their reward in Cabinet cilices j and other positions for themselves and re- j lations. He has sold one gift house at a round profit and got another, besides a lot j of land in New Jersey on which he doesn't set a large price. But this does not pre- j vent one of his Secretaries sending a j biotherin-law over the country, with a j letter of introduction, asking subscriptions for the purpose of buying the President a paid up life insurance policy of $50,000. This will cost 27,000 cash, and it is the purpose of the brother in-law of the Sec retary to get the amount out of office holders and aspirants to office. When the policy is obtained it Is supposed that the President will be satisfied, having se cured his own comfort during life and a telerable portion for his family after death. It would have been better to have had the movement originate somewhat further from home, but unless the canvasser came fiom official quarters the office holders might not be so approachable. Still it is rather severe, especially upon those iri New York who have such large campaign taxes to pay, that they should be given their choice of subscription or dismissal, and all for a policy which Grant is amply able to carry for himself if he is really anxious about the future of his family, Boston Post.

A letter from the City of Mexico thus speaks of the late earthquake : The latest news from private sources give full particulars of the terrible earthquake which nearly ruined the entire city of Oaxa ca on the 11th of this month. About half past 11 p. M.-several hard shocks were felt, causing a destruction of life and property all over the city. The motion was oscillating at first from south to north, then vertical or trembling. The checks lasted about fifty eight seconds, aud in forte, destruction and severity surpassed anything of the kind that has ever taken place in this State. Oaxaca is probably one of the strongest, most firmly constructed cities in Mexico, yet the condi tion of houses since the earthquake is truly deplorable, some of them in complete ruins. The palace is almost; destroyed, and will re quire thousands of dollars before it can be made suitable for occupation. San Francis co is one mass of ruins, and all of the corri dors of the old convent of Sau Juan de Dois fell, burying four persons and wounding many more. The clock tower, which was only finished on the 5th of May, was shaken down, passing through the top of the build ing into the Supitme Court rot ms and through the floors of these into the portals of the palace. The total number of persons killed is about one hundred, while it is im possible to ascertan the number of the wounded.. The shock continued the next day, (Thursday.) and about a quarter to one a very severe one was felt. Friday there were one or two very severe shocks. Terror reigns supreme, and upon the countenances of all anxiety and fear of greater evil are plainly depicted. All remained in the pub lic squares and outside of the city for fear that greater shocks would come, and, on account of its dilapidated condition, would make a complete ruin of the entire city. A cow drover got himself into trouble, in Montgomery county, the other day, by trying a "trick of hia trade" to impose upon purchasers through a most cruel infliction on cows and calves., He had tied a string firmly around the jaw of thirty calves to keep them from sucking their mothers, in order to swell the cows' udders, and give them the appearance of great milkers. He was arrested uoJer the law puuithing cru elty to dumb animals, and fined ten dollars for each offence, amounting to $300. The Fall Elections. An Address to the Friend r CotlVtitu Clonal. EfORonalrnl and Honest Gov ni e nt by the IJemoeratic.rnitetl Stit Senators und Representative). To our Fellow Citizens of the United Stales. Friends of Constitutional, Economical, and Honest Government : The undersigned beg leave to call your attention to the peculiar importance of the elections which take place this year, and re spect fwily to bubmit some suggestions for your consideration. By the State Legisla tures to be elected nearly one-third of the United States Senate will be chosen. Nearly all the members of the next House of Rep resentatives are to be elected next fall. Upon the coining elections, then, depends the question whether the Democratic and Conservative element in the Senate shall be incrensed, and whether, that element shall have a majority in the House of Representa tives, and, as a consequence, whether we shall have a constitutional, economical, and honest government, or a continuance of rev olutionary, extravagant, and wasteful and partisan rule; whether we shall have a gen eral, iniiti'Tir, just, and constitutional legis lation, with reasonable taxation and frugal expenditure, or unconstitutional, partial, unjust, class legislation, with oppressive and unequal taxation and wasteful expenditure. That we have strong reasons to hope for a favorable result is plainly apparent. The elections already held clearly show that the tide of reform has set in with a power that cannot be resisted if no blunders be com mitted by the friends of reform. If they do their duty and act wisely; if thej' throw cfl all apathy and act with vigor and steadfast ness, there is every reason to hope that their efforts will be rewarded by success. Let there be no dissensions about minor matters, ne time lost in the discussion of dead issues, no manifestation of narrow or proscriptive feeling, no sacrifice of the cause to gratify personal ambition or resentment, and let the best men be chosen for candidates ; and we may hope to eee our country ledecmed from misrule. And in this connection we brg leave to say a word to our fellow-citizens of the Southern States. Do not risk the loss of Senators or Representatives by electing men who cannot take the test oath, or who arj under the disability imposed by the Four teenth Amendment ; whatever may be said as to-the validity of that amendment or the test act, yon may rest assured tjat Senators elected by the vote cf members of the Leg islatures who are held by the Radicals to be thus di.qual fitd will r.ot be permitted to take thtir seats, and that members of tbe House of RepreseLtatiyes thus disqualified will also be excluded. It is the plainest dictate of practical wisdom net to incur any such ritks. We hope soon to sea the day when all disabilities will be removed; but in the meantime do not, we entreat you, lose the opportunity. to streugtheu the Democrat ic and Conservative force in Congress, atjd the pu.-sibility, nay, probability of obtaining a mj-rity in the next House of Representa tives, "by putting it in the power of our ad versaries to overthrow or disregard your elections.
