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."

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,

"Look Oct for Geary." The warn
ing of Stonew all Jackson may come heme

out for Geary when he reads this :

constitute a suitable Chief Magistrate for this

Why shouldn't cur great noodlechuck

The Late Eartuquakk in Mexico.
Further Particulars. 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. Signed
