Our County Ticket.
We promised in our paper of last week
tbat in our present iseue we would refer
in detail to the several candidates who
were placed in nomination by the recent
Democratic county convention. We now
proceed to do so :
vr. noR ace Rcsr, rgq.,
the nominee for Assembly, is a native of
Johnstown and a lawyer by profession. He in
"native and to the manor born," and is com
para lively a young man. When the late civil
war unfortunately began, he went to the front
aa Adjutant of the 54ih Pa. Regiment, which
had for its Colonel the present Surveyor Gen
eral of the State, Col. Jacob M. Campbell Mr.
Roue acted aa Adjutant of the Regiaaeut un'.il
it waa discharged, and, as we have alwaya un
derstood, performed his duties to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned. Mr. Rose is a
gentlemnn of ability and unsullied reputation.
He is emphatically and outspoken, aa every
honest man ought to be, against the senseless
farce of the removal of the county seat from
EL-ensburg to Johnstown. On this issue, as
well as on his high character as a gentleman of
integrity and ability, we present hira to the
people of the whole county in the name and
by the authority of the convention at whose
lands he received the nomination, and we are
fully authorized by him to say that he will
"fight it out ou that line" if it takes him until
the second 1 utsda.v ol next October.
CAPT. WM. B. BOSACKER,
the candidate for Sheriff, is a resident of the
new borough of Wood vale, iu the vicinity of
Johnstown. In le'6l he raised a company of
volunteers and was elected its Captain. Like
Mr. Rose, he belonged to Colonel Campbells
regiment and served in it until it was discharg
ed, and left the army with a pure reputation as
an upright man and a true soldier. Colonel
Campbell, who differs in politics with Cnptain
Bonacker, will cheerfully endorse all that we
have said in referense to his bravery aa a sol
dier and his integrity as a man. Capt. B. is in
the prime of lite, and has always been a steud
fast Democrat of the old school. He is emi
nently St and competent for a faithful and
honest cischarge of the duties of the office for
which he has been nominated. We confident
ly predict, from Capt. Bonacker's well earned
reputation; as well a his character as a man,
tbat he will receive as large, if not a larger,
majority for the office for which he is a candi
date, than baa been given to any man for the
tame office for the last twenty years.
fbancis oVaiEt.,
of Loretto, is the nominee for County Commis
sioner. Mr. O'Friel is a merchant, and if ever
a man iu Cambria county did not seek the
office, but on the contrary was sought by the
f flice, thnt man is emphatically ifr. O'Friel.
We will not undertake to eulogize him, a3 it
would be entirely superfluous. Wherever he
is known, his wobd is as good as his bono.
ThTttt. H. BERG,
the nominee for Poor House Director, is a
Cambria township farmer and 'umber manufac
turer. He is an honest man, and as eucli is
well known throughout the northern portion
ot the cotiuty. He is fully qualified for the
faithful and conscientious discharge of the
duties of the responsible office lor which he hs3
Leen nominated.
JACOB A. nARaom,
of Johnstown, is the candidate for Coroner.
He has discharged the duties of that position
for the last three years, and will make iu the
future, as he has in the past, a competent and
attentive officer.
ALftXA VPKR KK ELL V
was nominated for Jury Commissioner. Mr.
Skelly is a comparatively young man and be
longs to the old original Democratic stock of
the "Skellya" iu Sumnerhill township He is
well acquainted with the people of the county,
and will discharge the duties of the office with
due regard for the requirements of that posi
tion. JOHN WAGNFtt,
of Cheat Springs, is the nominee for Auditor.
Mr. Wagner is a business man, and worthy the
- support of evoay he nest man in the couuty.
Ot his election there can be no doubt, and he
is the right man in the right place.
And now, having said thus much about
the ticket, we can only say to the De
mocracy of the county, go to work, or
ganize your party, and a glorious victory
is certain to follow.
Disappointed Aspirants.
On last Monday week there were fee
prominent Democrats of this county be
fore the Democratic convention for nomi
nation for Assembly. Of course only one
of the Jive could be nominated and there
fore four must be disappointed. "John
Porter, our late member, was one of the
disappointed aspirants. Whether he re
ally desired the nomination or not, we are
not prepared to say, but we can safely
affirm that no young or old Democrat in
the county enjoys more fully the confidence
of the Democracy of Cambria than John
Porter, and if bo bad received the nomi
nation for the third term, he would have
been enthusiastically supported. James
Griffin, late Register and Recorder, was
also a candidate. It is ."jriite unnecessary
for ns to say anything in commendation
of Mr. Gkhtin. He made his own re
cord whilst in office as an honest and
kigb-minded gentleman, and the Democ
racy of Cambria will take care of him in
the future. Robert II. Brown, of C res-
eon, was likewise a candidate, and al
though be has not resided many years in
the county, h proved himself, through his
indomitable energy and perseverance, to
be a man of mark. He onght to be, and
ire have no doubt is, proud ot the gener
ous support he received in the- convention.
Natuamf.l IIorne, of Johnstown, al-
tboogh A made bo general canvass
tiroojb tse coaty, received a very fiat
tvtmz support. We caa ear of Mr.
Hvrsz, tbat be is a feigh-tuin&d geotle
xqsp, an orthodox Democrat and a tocst
9iix&jstble citizen. Although comparative
ly a triser in tba northern portion of
HsM ctttnsty, whtrevei fc west he produced
a most Jar era bis impression. That be is
t-onrat, upright an3 pare in everything
ih& he ay and docs, is cct to be qces
ticntd by ary cce who lr&w faica.
WebsTe ihzs nkmi to iieee g?.!b-
men, not tbat tbey need any eologiom at
our hands, but as a simple act of justice
to them, and aa an expression cf what we
know to be the feeling of the Democracy
of the county towards them. We believe
we hazard nothing in saying that they
will, in the future aa in the past, yield n
cordial support to the ticket which has
been placed in nomination by the only
regularly constituted Democratic authori
ty in this county.
Potts Declines.
On the 25th of June last a mongrel
convention assembled in Johnstown and
nominated Gen. James Potts, of tbat
place, for Assembly, on the distinct issue
of the removal of the county seat from
Ebensburg to Johnstown At the time
that this stupendous removal farce was
enacted, no sane man believed that Gen.
Potts would ever be a candidate at the
next October election. Not that he would
not like to be, for his ambition has been
constantly turned in tbat direction for a
period of time whereof the memory of but
few of the old Democrats of Cambria run
neth to the contrary, but for other and
overwhelming considerations, well under
stood in Johnstown, and which are not
at all neceesary to be mentioned here.
On the day after the nomination of W
II. Hose, Etq , by the late Democratic
county convention, Gen. Potts saw prop
er to anticipate the future political situa
tion, and addressed a letter to Jost:rti
Chouse, of Johnstown, chairman of the
executive committee of the removal fac
tion, in which he withdrew from the field.
Gen. Potts bases his declination on the
ground of ill healih. We at first believed
that this waa a mere subterfuge to escape
as gracefnlly as he could from his inevita
ble political doom. It 6eems, however,
that we were mistaken in our theory, and
that Gen. Potts is really in very delicate
health. We regret that it is so. Much
as we despise this villainous removal
scheme and the motives of those who are
aiding and abetting it, we are free to say
tbat from a long and intimate personal
acquaintance with Gen. Potts, we enter
tain for him a sincere feeling of respect as
a man and a citizen. We never did and
never could harbor towards him the slight,
est feeling of personal enmity ; but, on the
contrary, nothing but kindness and true
regard.
Gen. Potts, having thus retired from
the position which had been assigned him,
the aforesaid Jostrft Crouse has issued
a proclamation requesting the lute remov
al convention to ic-assemble at CreBson
on next Saturday, 20th . instant, nt 2
o'clock, P. M., to nomiuate a ticket,
which we suppose means a full county
ticket, in favor of removal. In his cail
to the faithful, Jostm could not refrain,
as in duty bound, from making an assault
on what he and his allies style the "Eb
ensburg Penitentiary."
We will await with painful solicitude
the wonderful things that are to transpire
at the CresBon convention, to be held un
der the auspices of Joseph Crocsk
Who has not heard of the celebrated
mountain of anliqnity, that after having
been in the throes of labor, brought forth a
ridculous mouse.
Georgia Once More.
It was stated in this paper last week
that two Radical demagogues in Congress
John Cessna, from the Bedford district
in this State, and Lawrence from Ohio
had addjessed long letters to the Radicals
in Atlanta, "arguing that the intent of
the Georgia bill is against an election in
November." These two worthies were
subsequently reinforced by that unblush
ing scoundrel, Ben. Hutler, who expressed
the same infamous doctrine to the corrupt
Governor of Georgia, whom Puller ad
dressed as his "Dear Bulloch." In the
meantime, the Legislature of Georgia
being in sessir.n, a bill passed the Senate
declaring that no thction should be held in
that State next fall nnder what is known
as the Georgia bill, passed at the last
session of Congress. The House refused
to concur in this unheard of and infamous
proceeding. The whole question has re
cently been submilted to Mr. Akerroan,
the newly appointed Attorney General of
the United States, who is himself a citi
zen of Georgia, and who has written and
published an able and admirable opinion
on the question. It is entirely too long
for us to publish, and we will therefore
only lay before oar readers the concluding
paragraph of hit letter, from the whole of
which no honest man can withhold his
praise :
Tou are all Kepnblfcats, and therefore I
will say a word to you of the party aspects of
the natter. An apprehension has been ex
pressed that we shall lose the State if an elec
tion is held next fall. We may better lose the
State than keep it wrongfully. If we lose the
State in a fair election, though it may be disa
greeable, yet we shall have no right to com
plain. It is one of a fretman'a privileges to
vote perversely when so minded, and if the
majority eboose so to Tote the rest ot u must
submit for tke time, and trutit that reflection
and experience will brisg them in the end to
sounder politics.'
And so tbere will be, as by every prin.
ciple of common honesty and constitution
al right there ooght to be, an election held
in the State of Georgia next November.
Is it not a shameless burlesque on a repub-
iban form of government, that whether
or not an election should be held in any j
one of the States of this Union, is made
to depend on the mere opinioaf one man,
who happens to occupy the position of
Attorney General ? And yet tbat singu
lar and unheard of anomaly has happened
under the thrice glorious administrauion
of Grant and the suicidal legislation of a
hopelessly corrupt and vindictive Con
gress. The Democratic Convention of Hunt
ingdon county met on yesterday week.-
The Congressional conferees were instruct
ed to vote for R. Milton Speer, Esq.,
of tbat county, as the Democratic candi
date for Congress from this district.
Each of the four counties composing this
Congressional district having elected its
conferees, it has been snggested by the
Altoona Sun that the convention to nomi
nate a candidate be held at Altoona on
Tuesday, the 30th day of this month. We
concur in this suggestion, and hope that
it will be adopted. We will only add,
that when the conference meets, we trust
it will act calmly and deliberately, and
present a gentleman as the candidate who
enjoys the entire confldensa of the pnrty,
and who will receive its enthusiastic and
united support.

The Great Battle at J1f.i z Berlin.
August 15 raiduight. Further particulars
of the trreot battle at Metz yesterday have
been received. The battle was fought at
the village of Paguy, near Jletz, and raged
fiercely for six hours.
The Prussian forces engaged in the action
numbered 60.000. The men were under
the command cf Genera! Steinmefz.
The French army was commanded by
Marshal Baza'mc. The number of troops
engaged has not been ascertained. The Ere
from the French infantry and artillery was
terrific, but the Prussian troops never for an
in&tant wavered, but followed cp every ad
vantage, under a perfect hail cf shot and
shell from the enimy, and finally, after a
hard fought and bloody struggle, succeeded
in breaking the French lines, when a general
panic ensued in the French ranks and the
troops under Marshal B;izaine were driven
in great confusion into Metz, while one corps
retreated upoj Verdun.
The loss on either side ha3 not been ascer
tasned, but it is thought it will exceed that
of Woertb.
still, later.
niUlurgh, August 16. The Gazette to
night bulletins the following news received
from the Associated Press :
ViRnox, August 1G 11 p.m. No news from
Metz. A great baitle was fought yesterday
between Verdun und Metz, commencing at
daybreak. The Prussians are re'.reatiug south
ward; loss 40.1)00.
New YoRk. August 16. A private des
patch received by a prominent gold broker
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to night reports
a battle between Verdun and M-tz, in which
the Prussians are aid to have bt-n worsted,
lie says that his despatch states tbat they
retreated southward with a loss of forty
thousand men. The broker seemed to have
confidence in bin information, a3 he bought
largely in gold.
The War. News by ttlegraph later than
that commented upon in our article headed
"Nearer to Parts," shows that a battle has
been fought near Metz. Both parties claim
a victory, and each view of the case is sup
ported by Royal evidence. The following
is the despatch from Napoleon to the Em
press Eugenie :
LoNGLfvu.LE. August 14 10 P M. The
armv commenced to cross to the left bank of
the Moselle tbis morning Our advance guar. 1
had no knowledge of the presence of any force
of the enemy. When halfot our army had
rrossed over the Prussians suddenly attacked
in great force. After a fight of four hours they
were repulsed with great Joss to them.
On the other hand, William cf Prussia
sends the aoucxed nccount of the fight to
his Royal consort at Berlin :
"A great battle was fought at Metzyesterday
and we were again victorious. The First and
Seventh Army Corps behaved with great gal
lantry. I leave immediately for the battlefield-
Kmo William."
Longueville, from which the despatch of
Napoleon is dated, is a small towu on the
railroad from Strasbourg to Paris, distant
from Chalons fifty miles. The movement of
the French was evidently intended to covei
the defenses of Metz. and the Prussians at
tacked for the purpose of pushing a column
between that fortress and Paris, and thus
separate oco division of the French army
from its base of supplies. At the time we
write, the details arc not sufiieent to warrant
any conclusion as to the real victors in the
contest. Napoleon may have prevented the
Prussians from carrying out their designs
fully, while the losses inflicted upon aretreat
ing force may form the basis on which Wil
liam vests his claims for a victory in this
instance. These speculations may, however,
be disturbed by news too late to be incorpo
rated into an editorial notice. We can only
comment upon the news on hand at the time
our editorial page goes to press. Thirty
thousand men, belonging to MacMahon's
corps, added to the garrison of -the fortress,
will enable the commandant to make a suc
cessful resistance in case it is attacked by
double the number of Prussians. The en
trance of this body of troops into Strasbourg,
without opposition, would also show that
the place is not invested. Age, 16A.

The clash of arms is already resounding
along the banks of the Rhine. France and

that is needed to bring Great Britain into
the struggle. Denmark is--already -practically
in. Holland and Belgium will sup

namrnil Carder, son of a wealthy far
mer of Boone county, near Taylorsport, Ky.J
after many previous attempts, lately made
a liberal offer of money to a grocer to poison
flour ordered by his fattier for the use of the
family. The young wretch was arrested, a
preliminary trial developed the fact that
many other persons had been approached
various times for the purpose of securing the
death .'of the father, whose means the son
desired to obtain. The first attempt was
to poison some pickles, with the aid of some
other boys. The second time two persons
were engaged to assassinate the old man in
his bed, but failed. Many other villainies
were exposed, yet the squire released the
prisoner on two hundred dollars' bail. The
people of the neighborhood are very much
enraged at the action of the justice.

A singular circumstance is related of

parents were stricken with sorrow over the

visited the corpse was a womon whose acute
preceptive faculties revealed to her certain
signs which indicated tbat life still lingered
in the little frame. She applied cold water
to the lips of the child, which, after a time,
feebly answered to the reviving draught,
and the proper restoratives being nsed, the
child was brought to consciousness, and is
now restored to new life. The sorrow of the
parents was instantly turned to the wildest
joy on the return of the child from death to
life.

about to run street cars with india rubber
motive power. An india rubber band, five
hundred and twenty feet iu natr.ral length,
is stretched out five times that length. It
is first wound around one drum so that as it
unwinds, its retractile power propells the
car. and in addition, wiuds around another
drum as tightly as it was around the first
drum, minus the power in overcoming 'he
fi ictiou cT the car. So it winds and unwinds,
first upon one drum and then upon the other,
until the loss of power occasioned by the
moving of the car renders it necessary to
wind the thing up by a renewed application
of steam power.
