By order of the Committee. F. A. SHOEMAKER, Chniiinan. Ebeueburg-, July 11, 1S70. It afiords us pleasure to state, as we have no doubt it will our readers to learn, that the able end eloquent Daniel Yoorhtcs boa been renominated aa the Democratic candidate for Congress from th Terre Ilaute district of Indiana. He baa a bard road to travel, but u Le has ou e before "made Lis calling and elcctioQ sure' in the same district, we think it reasonably certain that he will do so again. At leaat, he deserves success. O yesterday the Democntic Congress ional Coherence from Fayette, Westmore land and Indiana countiea, met ut the lion-i-cgabela House, in Pittsburgh, and unani mously nominated Henry D Foster for Con gress. We truat that John Corode will so succeed in fixing things with the Radical conferees of the same district us to euchre all the other Republican aspirants and secure the nomination for himself. Iu that event, far as his certain defeat cau be anticipa ted, he will be "the right man in the right placo." It is now said that Grant, notwithstand ing the final rejececiion of his pet scheme, the San Domingo job, will attempt, probably not at this session, but during the next, t jrach the same result, by a joint resolution f Congress. Although Den Butler has made n-veral abortive attempts in this direction during the present session, it is confidently jmserted, by those who are opposed to this Presidential swindle, that the project, wheth er attempted at th'u. or the uext session, is Hire t meet with the snme merited fate as the lately rejected treaty. In its highfa'utin laudation of Major Gen eral (?) James Potts, the Johnstown Tribune of the 1st inst.,'in speaking of the question of the removal of the County seat, makes use of the following in fain "ui4 launuage : "No other Issue Is before the people none will be. Ebt'iiKl.unr to a man will vole to con tinue, to live ron the remainder of the county. L.tt tut be tyrta ily detninintd that when support pxiujurs it etuxLl vuly be in the poor houec." Whether or not there will be uy other hi!u:" than the removal farce before the people of Cambria county at the next Octo ber election, it is too Boon yet to determine. "Sufficient onto the day is the evil thereof." Iu r-ply to the concluding portiou of the libove paragraph, which we italicize, we will predict that the writer of it, whoever be may be. if he cultivates his scoundrelly pro pensities and has ordinary luck in working out his manifest destiny, and is permitted to live two years longer, will End himself to be the worthy tenant of a cell in the "Peni tentiary" or "ftudal castle" that is now be ing"erecUd iu this "obsolete village" of Eb ensburg. If ho docs not, then Shakspeare was clearly mistaken when he said, 'There's a divinity that shape our cnf., Rough hew them as we may." We have only answered "a fool according to his folly." Two More Heads Oft. On yesterday week, in the House, the con tested seat in the third Louisiana district was considered. The vote for Bailey, Dem ocrat, was 17,524. and for Darrel, Radical, 8,693 showing Bailey's majority to have beeu 8,031. It is quite" unnecessary for us to say that Darrel teas awarded his seal by tho usual Radical vote, as in 3uch cases made and provided, and that Daniel J. Mor rell, as in duty bound, stood up to the work like a true Radical and voted to admit Dar rell. On the very next day, the celebrated case from Missouri, of Switz'er, Democrat, against Dyer, Radical, the sitting member, was called up. The report of the majority of tho committee on elections declared Switz ler elected by 559 votes. Notwithstanding this decision by a committee composed of a majority of Radicals, partizanship triumphed as usual and Dyer was given his seat by a etrict party voto of 108 to 55. It is about aa easy for a camol tu pass through the eye of a needle as it I for a Democrat who has been fairly and honestly elected to Congress to get bis seat, when a Radical is determined to usurp it. But "there is a good time coming," and the day is uot far distant when justice will assert her admitted rights. Judge Illack'g Letter. We need offer no apology for devoting so much of our ppace this week to the publica tion of the celebrated letter of lion. Jeremiah S. Black to Hon, Henry Wilson, a Radical United States Senator from Massachusetts To those of our readers who have not yet percaed this able and rigorous production from the caustic pen of Judge Black, we know of nothing in the shape of political literature tfeat could be so interesting, re freshing and conclusive. We have ouce be fore referred to this remarkable letter, and dow submit It to our readers for their unbi assed and intelligent judgment. We have read and re-rcad the letters of "Junius" which attracted so much atten tiouand elicited 60 much admiration in Eng land towards the close of the last century, (the name of the author of which is lo day as profound a secret as it was then.) and as a Bpecimen of pure, forcible, horue-spun Saxon, which cub .with the certainty and terrible precision of a true Damascus blade, we have never yet read anything that ap proaches tbe sharp, keeD and incisive style of "Junius' to nearly as this masterly pro jection of "Jerry" Black. If Wilsoo snr ire It, be is tnadcf ery d'ffereut material tban that out of which ordinary mortals are created. Decided Agxslnftt the Country. A verdict against the people is the virtual meaning of the midnight vote of Tuesday's session, by which the Income Tax was perpet uated until the year 1K72 It appears that this great wroue" might have been avoided if ' it bad not been for the absence from his teat, at the most important moment in ths history oi trie i ax bi 1. ot tne venerauie ub-iui-pu't-hed Ser ot Lochiel, Senator Cameron. Why he!ese:ted ihe cause he had faithfully served up lo tLe hour ol its final issue, is not clear, though an xplauatioii may possibly be foui d therefor in the concluding line of our Washington special despatched of Tuesday uight. It reads as follows : TQK TAX 05 GR 8S EECE'PT? IS ABOLISHED " '1 he contest in the yeuate finally turned on the qi.ettien whether a tew laige corporate bodies should be compelled to pay a fair and impartial lax on their gross receipt?, or wheth er ihcy should be relieved from such-paj oient bv the routit, nance ot ihe tax on incomes. The laiirond lobby never worked more energetical ly nor more successfully ; the gross receipts ore untaxed. Every selfish interest in the coun try arrayed itself in the Senate to defeat the almost uiiircisal protest of the pcop'e against the iniquitous Income levy. The President, regaadiug the claims of the hordes of asset-sors and collectors who had labored in his behalf, recommended in his lute message that the tax be continued ; the assessors aiid collectors themselves besieged Congress in theii own be half; and, finally, the tailroad corp-rations sent their lobbyists to ir.alst on the abolition of the grofs tecclpia tax. It is believed that the patriotic Seer of Lochivl is more largely in terested in the gross receipts of at least one railroad, than a; y other person sitting in the Senate. On internes. Lis payments have never been ex'ravagact ; o:i gross receipts, however, he has been a pecuniary sufferer. It may be suggested that the Great Chief of Winnebago, who never deserts a friend or a principle, did not kuow that a final vote would be taken, on Tuesday night, cn the continu auce of the Income Tax ; but in contradiction of such a theory appears the Seer of Lochiel's well known powers of second sight, by which he is enabled to see as far into the future as men of less gifted minds see into the past, II a it was, who prophecied, at the dawn of the He hellion, that a .Negro would, before the Seces sion question was entirely sett'ed, occupy Jef ferson Davis seat in -the Senate. At le:ist he said he did, and, in confirmation of it, is not Senator Revels a Negro, and does he not oc cupy Jefferson Davis' Senatorial place ? Jf the Great Seer could foretell the rise and progress of Revels ten yeais belore either oc curred, could he not foresee tiiat in half an hour his vote would be needed to pnvent the iiilliction of the odious Income Tax upon the country 1 To mrpose otherwise is to die-believe in the theory of second sight, or to deny the gift of foretelling events to Senator Cam eron. He did know that bis vote would be needed; und with this knowledge he deserted his rol- Iciigues at the last hour, and by such d scrtinn, the country must euCure for two years longer the unjust and inquisitorial Income Tax The responsibility rests upon Senator Cameron and upon no one else. The foregoing article is taken from the Philadelphia li.quirer, good Republican au thority.and what it says in reference to the duplicity of Simon Cameron on the Income tax bill, is all true, and is fully sustained by the official record of the proceedings of the Senate. It only proves that Cameron is a trickster and a demagogue, which is nothing new. We desire only to add. that wlile many honest Republicans in the Senate voted to repeal the odious and unjust income tax. the Democratic members unanimously voted to wiie it out of existence, and it has only been retained by the overwhelming Radical miij irity in the Scuate, which has since been concurred in by the House. We will do our member, Mr. M"rrel!, the simple justice to say that he voted in favor of abolishing this hateful tax. Sotne good, it would seem, can come out of Nazareth. GfcN Grant met with a perfect Waterloo defeat in the Radical Senate of the United States ou.tho lat day of June, and although during his military career in suppressing the rebelliou he aud men who were greater, but not so conspicuous as himself, played a prominent part in. subduing the civil war. and although he was rewarded for his mili tary services by an election to the highest office in the gift of tho American people, there are still somethings that he cannot do. The shameful treaty for the annexation of San Domingo was, on the d iv stated, defeat ed, by an overwhelming vote. For months previous Giant bad been engineering this corrupt project, and had done what no other President ever did before. He became a lobbyist in the Senate committee rooms in favor of the ratiticatioa of the treaty. Ue Used the executive patrc cage to induce Sen ators to vote the treaty through the Senate, and in the care of that notorioUFly corrupt man, Simon CameroD, he was easily success ful, by appointing his (Cameron's son-in-law Minister to Constantinople. Tho result of all his efforts in favor of his favorite pro ject, has been an inglorious defeat at the hands of his own political friends. In tho history of all previous administrations, was ever a President treated with such open con tempt by the very men who asu'sted in placing him in power? Fbom St. Petersburg to-daj wo have a most touching telegram. Columbia through out her length and breadth will wail to hear that the health of her beloved Miuister at the Court of tho Czar Mr. Ccbtim, of Penn sylvania is not so good as she could have wished it to be. His Excellency seems to be out of spirit, and he has been most kind ly invited by the Emperor of all theRussias to accompany himself and his court to the warm springs of Germany. In the midst, however, of his personal sufferings our envoy has preserved a vivid regard tr the interests of his constituents, which induces him to notify all whom it may concern, and partic ularly the iron manufacturers of Pennsylva nia, that the Russian government intends to purchase a number of articles in the United States to be fabricated by American skill and ingenuity. The mood in which thii no tice is given reminds one of that heroic lady, famous in the annals of Pere-la-Chaise, who used her husband's tombstone, to announce that, notwithstanding his lamented decease, the business in which he had earned his rep utation would be carried on by his weeping widow at the old staud and cn the old terms World.

'So lone a I!- be (I'ottn) win prominent among: our tbX pubUc-epivited citizen to get up tbe protect of a new county, to b called "Conmaugh." He was delegated by oar citi zens to go to Ilarrisburtr with their petitions and to represent tbera before the Legislature on this important subject, lie remained there six weeks, using his efforts for that laudable measure. He hud influence enough to have the bill reported favorably end p;iss throutfb the Committee of the Whole, but the member then representing Cainhrlu county, (Dr. William A. sxmrth,) who resided In'.Elwneburjr, ad the bill defeated on second reading." The above paragraph is taken from a Icn" editorial article in the Johnstown Tri bune of July 1st. Now mark how a plain statement of jacts will dispose or each and every one of the foregoing allegations. Of course I do not pretend to hold the ostensi ble editor of the lribune responsiole lor ut tering so many iulsehoods m so brief a space. He is simply the victim of misplaced confi dence. The writer of Una article represented Armstrong county iu the House of Repre sentatives during tbe sessions of 1850, 1851 aud 1852. and what he now propeses to say. in denial of the above statement, is as fresh and vivid iu his memory ns a thrice told tale. and is a brief review of legislative proceed ings in 1851 "all of which he saw and part of which he was." It is not true, tut an unqtial.ted false hood, that Dr. V.m. A. Smith was the repre sentative from Cambria county during the session of 1851. but it is true that he uus the member from this county during the Pbession of 1850. The gentleman who repre sented Cambria county during the legislative session of 1851 was Mtj. John Linton, then a resident of Jobns,towD, but now a citizen of Rochester. Beater Ci Wty, and as true and honest a man as ever represented this county in tbe Asstmbly. He (Linton) defeated Dr. Smith iu October. 1850. the district being then composed of Cambria, Bedford and Ful ton counties, with ttco members Ji hn Cess na, then a democrat, being Linton's col league. On the 12th of February, 1S51, Major Linton presented tbe bill then and afterwards known ns the "Conemaugh couu ty" bill, and on his motion the bill was re ferred to a select ctminittce consisting of Messrs. Lin'on, Olwiue. O'Neill, Ross and Fifl'e. On the 14th of the same month, Mr, O'Neill, one of the members of the commit tee and at present a Republican member of Congress from Philadelphia, reported the bill j as committed. Subsequently to this, peti- i tuns in favor of the passase of the bill, as J well as remonstrances against it, were pre sented at different times during the ses.-ion. ! I gather thjse facts ict connection with Conemaugfe county" from the efficial Jnur ual of the House for the session of 1851, which is before me as I write. Art vote teas ever tcleri on the bill dining that session. Majjr Linton himself permitting it to die an ignominious legislative death. Four or five years afterwards this same "Coiiemaugh county7' project was resurrected by George S. King, of Johnstown, who then -epresetil-ed this county. It passed the House, but it was defeated in the Senate through the pe culiar tactics and skill of Maj r Thomas A. M.iguire, then of this county, who was at the time clerk of that body. If James Potts spent six tceeks at Il.irris burg in 1?51, as the Tribune s.yi, he did, using his ff ;rts iu favor of tho Conemaugh county" bill, the statement of the simple fact, that it was never (nought to a role, n conclusive evidence that Potts had as little influerce then iu furthering the passage f the "Conemaugh county" bill as he would have during the next session iu his laudable efforts to procure the removal of the county beat from Ebensburg to Johnstown. Hereafter, when the editor of the Tribune undertakes to write a eulogium on his dear frieud Potts, I demand of him that he shall state jacts and not Julsthonds. Let him "tell the tiu:h and shame the dervii." It is a wholesome max'ui and one that is worthy of all acceptation. Truth. For the Cambria Freeman. Ma. Editou Without suggesting, much less dictating, the name of any person an a fit candidate for Assembly, 1 desire to ssy a few words in relerencn lo that important question. I am a northern man, but not one with southern principles, as understood and claimed by the leaders of the removal project. 1 do not propose to enter into a discussion of that contemplated outrage fur ther than merely to say that the candidate, whether he may prove to be. a resident of the northern, middle, or southern portion of the couuty, must be a mau who. on the reino val is.-ue, is "pure and beyond reproach." That he will b so I do not entertain a shad ow of doubt, if the Democrats of the several election districts will see to it that no man who is i.ot l.onest and competent, and who is uot it'ent.fied or iu any way connected with what are known as political Rings ," is sent as a delegate to the convention. There is auother subject, however, of great public concern, and one in which the Djruocratic party of the Siate generally aud the Democratic party of Cambria county especially, is deeply interested. I refer to the apportionment of the State into Senatori al and Representative districts, which must be done under tbe constitution by the Leg islature to be elected on the second Tuesday of next October. This busiuess is no "fool's: play," but is alwa3's surrounded with grave and innumerable difficulties, which no mau except one of brains, and who can givo a reason for the faith that is in him, is com petent to solve. That we have men in Cam bria county who are fully capable to repre sent faithfully aud intelligently her political interests in this ngaid and to letain her separate representation in the House in the future, as it has existed since 1857, cannot be questioned, but it is high time to sound the note of alarm. As I said before, I am the advocate of no man specially nor is this communication addressed to you with the design of advancing or promoting the per sonal or political prospects of any one aspU rant, whoever he may be, for the Legisla ture. It is written simply, with an honest view, to impress upon tho Democratic party of this county the vast impoitance of the question which 1 have fairly presented, and to say to the members of that party, in every election district in the county, that to be forewarned is to bo forearmed, aud then if they wiliyaiZ to perform their whole duty let them, when they "sow the whirlwind, ex pect to reap the storm '.' Clearfield. Graxt in the Sus light. -Tho N. Y. Sun referring to Grant's St. Domingo job says: "In secrecy and to a foreign State the President has pledged his word to coerce as best he may the representatives of tho peo ple whose servant he is. Iu secrecy aud to a foreign State he has pledged himself to make no communication to Corjgress con cerning a public measure of the highest im portance until satisfied that the measure will be successful. The people cannot forget these things. They are so many blows struck at the integrity and even the exist ence of free government and republican in stitutions, and blows of such a character that a free nation cannot survive many of tbem. The terrible devastations of war were not more dangerous to us as a people than is the spirit manifested in these acts of the administration ; and it is tad to think that he who did ho much to free us from tho evils of war should so soon bring upon us these dark forebodings of deeper ill. Then and Sow. It is well enough occasionally, says the Harrisburg Patriot, to remind the radical voter cf the doctrines professed and theories taught in the recent patt, by the political leaders whom he follows, lest in the rapid1 reti e gression of his party from the liberal position which it once returned, be might forget and eventually deny that he was ever a republican. With this object in view we reproduce a letter addressed by John W. For ney to Andrew Johnon, a short time before the close of the late civil war hich origin ally appeared in print in the Washington Republican of January 17, 1807 : Washington D. C. Jan. 7, 1867. His ExctUeiiey Andrew Johnson : ill Dear Uoveukob : I cannot too heart ily thank you for your letter, dated Nash ville, December 30, 18C4, received on Wednesday eveni'ng. There Lr not a word or sentence in the article frotu the Nashville Times, which you enclose, that does uot meet my warmest approbation. I have read and re-read your letter aud it, and have shown both to several iutimato friends. I hope soon to be able to indorse both in my two newspapers The Chronicle and tLe Tress. Alter a pretty thorough canvass I thitk the Senators and Representatives frcm Louisiana will be admitted; and, if this is so, it is easy to anticipate that those of Tennessee will also be received. The only person that J fnd opposed to your theory, and who is now hesitating as to the true course to be pursued in rej'ertnce to the admission of' Louisiana, is Mr Sumner, of Massachusetts He may probably be followed by Wade, Wilkinson, Chandler and a few more ; but Senator Wilson, cf Massachusetts, is i-ptn and determined in. his course, aud 1 think he will carry with him a number. The at tempt lo embarrass the admission of such States as Tennessee.after havinggone through such' suffering as yours, and aj'ttr having re organized lieir States from the eery J'ounda lion ff principle and laic, would be a tad proceeding. The fact is, my dear Governor, we cannot resist peace, fchould the Southern people lay dowu their arms aud demand to come back into the Union under the term of the am uesty proclamation agreeing toil.e abolition of slavery by the amendojent of the Consti tution, and consenting to the restoration of tLe old Union. Any party tliat opposes such an appeal icould come to confusion, nor can ice aiLmpt to artbarrass such questions as those presented iu the caoe of Louis:aua and Tennessee, by legislation on the suij cl of negro svjffruae, because that question L Jongs to the States and it wiil lok very odd if the legislators from the lree Slates should en deavor to confer the right of suffrage upon the as yet illiterate r.tgroes, j'it delivered from slavery in the South, when, in nearly all the free States, the negroes are wholly dis j'ranchised. I feel iu high hope that the course ot the people of S .vannah, which you have by this time iten. in coming forward voluntarily aod heartily agreeing to tho terms e ff red by the government, will bo fol lowed in other qu irters, and that we are, in fact, about to realize the beginning of the end of the rebellion. We are linking for you here uith much interest. Your presence and your counsel arc needed. Youte tiuly, (Signed J. W. FotSKY. Hon. And;ew Johnsvn, Nathviilc, Tennes see. A Young Man Sharks- His Foiitusf WITH A DlSlN Di E1TKD BliOTlIBR. Teh yes. fifteen years ago, says the Kansas City Times, there lived in St. Joseph a family by the Dame of Adams, the her.d cf which was a tsteru, though kiud old gentleman, whom fifty years had touched lightly, lie was wealthy, but what he prized above all, was the pride ol his old age two noble boys, G-orge and Frank, aged respectively eih teen and twenty. The war came on ihe terrible strife in which brother was arrayed against brother, and father against sou. Mr. Adams was an uncompromising Union man, and his eldest sou, George, espoused his fath er 's cause. Frank y lined the forces in defense of the suuuy South, under William Y. Slack. When the father learned of the course takeu by the younger, his rage knew no bouuds. He sent bim word to return, or he was no longer heir to his broad acres or a recipient of his love. His son replied that no induce ment would cause him to surrender his prin ciples. The old gentleman drew up his will leaving his youngest son penniless. The war continued, each of the brothers fighting valiantly in defence of iheir different banners. Peace once more blessed the land, the eldest son returned home, while the younger loca ted in this city, and by his courteous bearing and close attention to business gained hosts of friends. His whereabouts were unknown to eilhr father or brother, and, though he loved them both, his pride would not permit him to return to a heme from which he had been cut t fit in a moment of passion. The nld gentleman was gathered to his fathers, and the eldest son became sole heir to his fathers wealth. George was no sooner in possession of his property than he made dil igent search for his brother, aud after a time traced, him to this city. The meeting be tween the brothers occurred only last week, and wss both cordial and afLctiog. The eldest caused a deed of half his estate to be made out in favor of his younger, brother, and forced the acceptance upon him. Such a spirit is noble, grand and magnanimous, therefore we give St. Joe the credit, as stated above. The incident is true, as persons in both cities can testify. Terrible Massacbk of Fbekch Qtizeks at Pekin, China. Advices from Pekin give particulars of a fearful butchery of French residents in that city by a mob of Chinese on the 21st of June. An organized mob. imbued with an intolerable hatred of foreigners, aud especially of the French res idents, in a great mass appeared in tbe quar ter inhabited by the latter, aud immediately commenced beating end maltreating all the Frenchmen whom they encountered. They, however,- met with some resistence. Inflamed w ith fury the Chinese procured all manner of weapons and began a dreadful massacr3 of the Freuch." They eutered many houseB, maltreating the inmates and dragging thetu forth into the , streets, where they were beaten with stones and. bludgeons and stabbed with knives. . - Many wero killed or will die from the injuries received. Some of the Chinese used fire-arms. The resideuce of the French Con sul were brokeu into and himself and the Secretary of the French legation were bru taly massacred. Some of the attaches were wounded. The rabbie also killed several Sisters of Mercy and a number of priests, all foreign ers, many French. They also beat to death several Russians. All the French people ovetaken were killed or shockingly maimed. In fact the rage of Chinamen appeared to be directly expended upon this class of foreigners. Not content with their fiendish work, thoy repaired to the Roman Catholic Cathe dral and drove forth the worshippers, took possession, and after sacking it, set fire to it. It was totally destroyed.

Now, let us see what New Kugtuhd Is now do ing. Instead of opening her nhops and givirg employment to the thousands and thousands, ti) the acts of Republic-ins are declared our equals, thoy are brineing ship load after ship load of Chinese to take the place of white labor, driving w bite men into poverty aud com rxl ilig them to wolk for one quarter enough to support their families. And why ? Simply because Chinese labor Is cheap; simply because for $lli per uionih they cm employ a mau to labor.

The Ux bridge massacre is succeeded by the revela tion i f a sciies of murders which thiow all atrocity far into tLe shade. The London correspondent of the World gives aa account of a "baby farmer" who has succeeded in murdering forty ir.fauts whom confiding mothers bad entrusted to her charge. 1'hia fieud is a woman named Waters, with many an alias, living in the suburbs of London. -Her numerous pseudonyms were necessary to her business. Her plan of operations were to advertise, under one name or auoth er, her readiness to adopt an infant on paj ment of. a premium of five pound. Her style of advertising was very .".ff :ctionnte. She was "very fond of children," and pritu ised to do all in ber'pnwer "to secure the happiness of the little one.'' She- wanted a child "as young as possible," so that it would know none but herself aud husband "as its parents." She had a home in every way calculated to "make a child happy." It may readily be imagined that there were many mothers in London willing enough to dis pose of their children on such easy terms. In this way Mrs. Waters got possession of no less than forty children, all of whom she cruelly murdered. She did net lorg keep the babes under her loving care, but as fast as one was disposed of, advertised under a now name for another. In this way she carried on the trade of infant murder for a considerable time. i- All Christian England is chocked at these terrible revelations. But for the one Waters who is detected in her crime and brought to punishment, how many escape? Patriot. A Sad Story, The Scranton Republi can tells a mournful story of a casualty on the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railroad lately. A Mrs..Gavcn with three children, two little boys aged five and seven years and a babe, was at' the depot at Pittstou to take a train. She put tho two little boys in a car and then returned to the station for her babe.- Meanwhile the train started. iThe station-master signaled the conductor to stop, and the little boys screamed at being carried away from tbeir mother. Rut it seems that the train neither stopped nor was any care taken of the children. The mother tele graphed to put them off at Scranton. Noth ing further is known of them until Ihey were found on the railway track about 2 o'clock the next morning the youngest cno killed, and the other lying insensible, with his arm cut off close to the sho jlder. The poor little wauderers had been run down by a train in a deep cut ; but how or why they were put off the train no one knows. We have rarely read a more distressing story.
