Resident Committee Hoomi?,
Washington, D. C, Aug-. 3, 1S70.
To (lie Tkmucntcv of the atccral SUiin:
This Committee respect fully requests that it
tn&y be furnished, at as enrly a lay ad practica
ble, with the names and address of the members
of the State Central Committee of each State in
which elections are to be held this year.
It also requests that the Chairman of each
euch Committee will from time to time commu
nicate with the undersigned, g-lving the condi
tion, projrrws and needs of the campaign in his
lHato, with such other information us may add
to the efficiency of this Committee's, action.
In this connection the Committee cannot for
bear earnestly inviting the attention of demo
crats and conservatives throughout the country
to the conditiou of their respective ptirty organ
izations everywhere, and urging the high im
portance that such organizations in States, con
gressional districts, counties, etc., hould be in
thorough, elfeetive, practical working order.
SAM. J. RANDALL, Chairman.
It has been definitely arranged that the
Democratic Congressional Conferees in
this district shall meet at Altoona, on
tlay, the 2d day of September next. The
conferees from thi9 county are Philip Col
lins, C. L. Pershing and Isaac Wike.
We publish this week on our fourth
page the Naturalization Law which was
passed by the late Congress. The fifth
and sixth sections of the act, in view of
the etyle in which the Radical party man
nge elections, may be easily understood.
The appointment of Commissioners under
the fifth scctionand dividing thctn between
the two parties is merely intended as a
blind to conceal the aim of the sixth sec
tion. Under the latter section, the Uni
ted States Marshals may appoint as many
deputies as they see fit "to preserve order
at the election" in all cities of over twen
ty thousand inhabitants. There is no
prevision made, however, that these depu
ties bhall be equally divided detween the
two parties. And herein consists the
raud of the bill. It is like all Radical
legislation deceptive and intended for
party purposes.
Col. J a mls Cooper, of Taylor town
ship, who is at present one of the Jury
Commissioners cf this county, was re
nominated for the same office by the Rump
Removal Convention, which re-assembicd
at Cresson Springs on last Saturdny.
Col. Coopek cannot bgally be re-elected,
inasmuch as the Act of Assembly of the
30th of April, 18G7, contains the follow
ing explicit language on the subject :
2iut the same person or jwrsons shall not
be eligible for rt-cUcl'on more than once in
any period of' six yars." This portion of
tho law has never been modifi, so far as
we know. A Jury Commissioner occu
pies precisely the same posiliou as a Sher
iflj who cannot be his own successor. J-
si rn Cholsk, under the legal advice of
JM'Lalghijn and Elder, fnust therefore
pick his removal flint once more and try
it again.
"We desire to say diftinclly and em
phatically to tho editor of the Johnstown
Tribune that he lUd under u m'jKtake
jierhop.i when he intimated in his last
issue that there was what he is pleased to
tall "collusion" between the editor of the
I'rceman and the editor of ihc All ghanian.
lJolh these papers are edited on the square,
without any consultation or concei t be
tween their respective editors. It will
soon bo disclosed whether there is not
plain, open and notorious "collusion' be
tween the Tribune and its ancient and in
vcterate foe, the Johnstown Democrat.
Whenever it is "convenient," wc ask the
Tribune editor to inform us, as he propo
ses to do, what are the opinions of W. II.

Horace Greelt i& prominently fpoken
cf as the next Republican candidates for
Governor of New York. Of course there
is not the ghost of a chance for his dec
tion. und even if there was, the announce
ment that Grant has declared his prefer
nce for him would render h"i3 defeat
certain. Grant tried his hand at this
business in the recent North Carolina
lection, und even sent United States
troops into that State to aid and as&ist
Governor Holden to consummate his vil
lainous schemes. The result was, that
the Democrats carried the State by near
ly trnxnty thovsmd majority and elected
five out of the eeven members of Congress
and two-thirds of the members of tbe
Legislature. This was the humiliating
re3ult of Grant's interference in North
Carolina politics, and his advocacy of the
election of Horace Greelv for Governor
f New York will effectually dispose of
that gentleman's prospects- and prove
equally disastrous. After the election
Horace Greely will kiaow foil well how
to appreciate the political influence of the
present national administration in New
York politics at what it is really worth,
and that will be found to be at a ruinous
discount. Horace Greely will Dot be
elected Governor of New York next No-
BuIIy for Woodruff!
Joseph Ceocse's Rump Removal Con
vention re-assembled at Cresson on-last
Saturday to nominate a candidate for As
sembly, in place of Gen. Potts, who had
withdrawn, and also to nominate a county
ticket in favor of the same project. A
full report of the proceedings of the Con
vention will be found in another column,
as furnished us by our special reporter.
It will be seen that II. D. Woourukf,
the editor of the Johnstown Democrat,
was nomioatrd for Assembly. We will
not this week enter into any detailed dis
cussion of the causes which brought about
this nomination. It has not created the
least surprise or alarm either here or in
Johnstown. Indeed it has been for some
time anticipated, both here and in that
place. This same II. D. Woodruff
was the judge of the Democratic delegate
elettu n in the first ward of Coneraaugh
borough, in which he resides. He has
always proclaimed himself (as the editor
of his paper) to be the opponent of the
removal issue, and on Saturday, the 0th
instant, voted for and advocated in his
own ward the election of two delegates
oppo&tl to the removal of the county seat.
II D. Woodruff came from Johnstown
to Ebensburg on Sunday night, the day
before the meeting of the Democratic
County Convention, and on the next
morning, the day of the meeting of the
Convention, he was everywhere "loud,
boisterous and turbulent of tongue" against
the nomination of Wm. H. Rosf, Esq ,
for Assembly and Capt. Wm. IJ. 1on
ackkr for Sheriff, and publicly declared in
this town on that day in several placep,
that Rose and Uonackek were both remo
val men, and that if they were nominated
he, (Woodruff) would not support them
on the distinct issue, as he then asserted,
that they were for rnnovul and that he
was opposed to it. No man of any brains
in Ebensburg or Johnstown, who had the
least knowledge of the political aspirations
of II. D. Woodruff ever since he came to
this county from Perry county doubted
his political aspirations. We are author
ized by two leading and influential mem
bers of the Democratic party in this place
to say, that H. D. Woodruff, on the day
of the meeting of the Democratic County
Convention, was, as he thought he would
be, a compromise candidate for Assembly"
at the hands of that Convention, on the
distinct issue as proclaimed in Ebensburg
by himself, that he was opposed to the re
ruoval and that Hose was in favor of it.
What cttn any honest man think of another
man, who in twelve days will thus de
moralize himself politically as a preten
ded honest man, on so important an issue
as the removal of the county seat.
Woodrulf has been for months, 'as we
will hereafter prove, a double dyed traitor
to the anti removal cause, and he is now
just where hi natural instincts would lead
him. Wc will not anticipate what he
will say of himself in his next paper, nor
do we fear it.

It will bii seen from the letters of Messrs.
Geo. Walters and Hiram Frits, which
we publish below, that they repudiate
the honors (?) conferred on them by the
late Removal Convention at Cresson.
This is not at all singular to those who
know them. Mr. "Walters is a gentle
man of unsullied character. No man in
Cambria county enjoys more fully the
confidence of tho public than he does.
Mr. Puits also sustain? a high reputation
for honesty and integrity, and is not wil-
ling to sacriGce it in euch a ouestionable
cause.
A Calumny Rebuked.
In an editorial article which appeared
in this paper last week, we saw proper to
refer to the withdrawal ofGen. Potts as
the removal candidate for Assembly. The
writer of that article has known Mr.
Potts longer and more intimately than has
the editor of the Tribune. We made no
charge nor even the slightest insinuation
against tbe private character or personal
standing of Gen, Potts. We could not
do so even if we would, and no man who
has an ordinary comprehension of the
meaning of words would so construe our
remarks. We do not assault any man's
private character, but we will attack his
position on any local or political question.
The old adage, that "where ignorance is
bliss 'tis folly to be wise," is peculiarly
applicable to the Tribune in this instance.
He asserts that in our reference to the
declination of Gen. Potts, we charged
crime against him. Was a crime ever
imputed to Gen. Potts, either in this coun
ty or elsewhere ? Wc know that it never
was ; and would we be so silly, not to say
utterly and criminally reckless, as to
charge it against him vow ? We are inca
pable of doing so, and scorn the imputa
tion. The sentence from our article,
which the Tribune quotes as the basis of
his unfounded and ungentlemanly allega
tion against us, had reference purely and
exclusively to jiolit'cal considerations, as
the controlling reason for the withdrawal
of Gen. Potts from the canvass. It would
be so understood by every man of ordina
ry intelligence who ia not gifted with the
Tribune's bad propensity purposely to
misconstrue the plain and obvious mean
ing of the language of a political oppo
nent. We repeat, that for James Potts,
as a man and a citizen, we always did
and always will entertain a feeling of hon
est respect and sincere regard. Let Gen
Potts, if be needs a defender, secure the
services of some other person than the
veracious editor of the Johnstown Tribune.
Roderic R. RcTEEit is the name of a
corrupt scoundrel who misrepresents the
Greenville (Tennessee) district in Con
gress. During the last session he was
deeply implicated in the disgraceful busi
ness of selling a West Point cadetship for
his own piivate gain. He ought to have
been promptly expelled, but his name
sake (Hen. Butler) and other Radical lead
ers permitted him to retain his seat upon
the preposterous plea that he had applied
his ill-gotten gains towards effecting the
impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Rut
Roderic Random Butler has at length
come to g-ief. Very recently, the ollioera
of the proper department at Washington,
became satisfied that Butler, true to his
instincts, has been engaged in the lauda
ble business of forging pension papers.
The following Washington dispatch of last
Saturday tells the balance of tho story,
and foreshadows the deserved fate of a
demagogue and swindler like R. R. But
ler. We trust, through the operation of
the law well and faithfully administered,
be will never again disgrace Congress by
his presence.
A d i? p itch from Tennessee announces that
United States Marshal Iliggs arteated Roderic
Butler at T;iy!orville, iii that State, on
Wednesday. Butler, howtver, was not retained
in cnatoJay, but the marshal reloased him
under bond3 to appear yesterday before Judge
TrUg, of the United States Dikrict Court ut
liiitaol, Tennessee. The nature of the puper
sent from the court here were of such a char
acter as to call for Butler's being bound over
to appear before tbe District Court here at its
next term, which opens iu September. Upon

Disaster to 9Iac3Ialion's Army.
A cable dispatch from London uuder date
of August 16th, furnishes the following let.
ter from General Bocher, commanding tho
Zouaves of MacMahou's divison, relative to
the demolition of those fine soldiers :
Savebnb, August 8. Let us thank God,
who has saved us from the most terrible of
dangers it is a soldier's fate to encounter. It
ia a miracle that I am still alive, without a
Eciatch, and in perfect health; but my
heart is broken. I am overwhelmed at the
fate of my poor officers and my poor soldiers.
I dare not tell you how uiauy I have lost.
It would grieve you too much. Later I
shall know the names of those you knew and
loved, but will never see again. The gallant
fellows fought like lions and heroes. Out of
65 officers, 7 were killed, wounded and miss
ing. At 7 a-, m., they were full of life and ar
dor, and now all are killed. At 2 p. a.,
my unfortunate Lieut. Colonel Desporties,
was wounded by my side. A bullet entered
his abvlomen, which was discharged but a
few yards distant. He was able to press
my hand as he was carried off the field, hut
he has probably died before this in a Prussiau
ambulance. Two chiefs de battallion were
shot dead, and a third is either dead or a
prisoner. Saint S.iuveux. was wounded
badly, and but very littlu hope is entertained
of hiti recovery. I had him taken from the
GelJ in an ambulance. The bullet went
through his chest, lie behaved splenuidiy.
I'ierron was shot stone dead. I have but
five captains here out of thirty ; the rest are
in Heaven. All my adjutants and must of
my sergeant majors shared the same fate.
The pioneers better or more gallant men
never breathed but five left. Two who
were left with the baggage were either sabred
or taken prisoners, fily horses were also
captured. My poor black charger was kill
ed under Gen. JSauveaul, to whom I lent
him, his horse having been killed early in
the action. Out of all that I had, all that
remains is the clothes I wear, and 75f. iu
my pocket. My baggnge, with that of the
Marshal, has been taken. I don't care for
that. I cannot help crying inwardly when
I thick of all those I have lobt. We fought
like lions 35,000 against 100,000. The
enemy surrounded us on all sides. Gen. Ca
loou was killed, liobt. de Vogue killed.
Alfred de Grammout, the Duke's brother,
lost an arm. The other corps suffered al
most as much as our own.
UcAlahon behaved splendidly, and did
all that any man could do, but he had not
men egough. He was unable to cpe with
100.000, with three times more artillery
than he bad. Nevertheless he inflicted a
heavy loss on the enemy, and tht, doubt
less, was the reason we were not more vig
orously pursued. Il-id such been the case
thedi.sahttr would have been fearful. It i
bad enough as it is. The battle began at
7:30 a. si. After night there was a pouring
rain, in which we had to stand without tents
or fiie, or lie don in the mud. During
the previous day wc marched seventy kilo
metres, from the battle held to Savcrne.
The last thirty six kilometres were got over
during the night pell-mell, and without
stopping or stepping. War is a feaiful
sci tirge. We are doomed to forced inaction
Wo have but 500 or 600 Zimave.--, without
knapsacks, tents, clothes, or food, but we

Infalliuilitv. The Archbishop of Cin
cinnati fulfilled his promise of speaking to
the public from Moz.ut Hall on Sunday hist.
He has disappointed the expectations o(
those who weie anxious to see him occupy
a resisting attitude on the Infallibility ques
tion, lie sets at rest all charges made
against freedom of debate in the Council, or
attempts at pressure from the Pope or the
maj irity. The intensity of the debate proved
its freedom, and the opportunity was cm
ployed by some of the ablest meu in the
Chuich in presenting every possible objec
tion and in the strongest light. It cannot
be said hereafter that tha dogma was de
clared without the most searching examina
tion and discussion. AH that human learn
ing is capable of was brought lo bear for
ami against, which the records of the Coun
cil will attest. The Archbishop, with un
disguised candor and truthfulness, yields to
the decision of his Church, ad the good cit
izen does lo the utbitrament of the ballot
box. He has no mental or other reserva
tions or conditions in regard to the binding
character of the dogma on the Catholic
world. He makes it plaia to the ordinary
miiut that the Pope has no more authority
now than he ever possessed, and that it is
only when he speaks by virtue of his office
that ho 1? Obeyed as he alwavs has been.

The Radical Legislature of Indiana, in its
last session, engrafted the following new idea
on the election law of that State. The In
spectors of Elections, on receiving each bal
lot, are authorized to have the same nnms
bered with figures corresponding with the
number placed opposite to the name of the
person who handed it in : conseaueutlv. bv
a subsequent examination, the particular
oanot aepositea By each voter, may be readi
ly identified. This entirely does awav with
the idea of 6ecrecy in reference to a man's
vote. His ballot can be traced with uner
ring accuracy in all cases. It can be told
witn certainty for whom he votes. This
plan, in effect, compels every man to vote
an opeu ticket. As the original object of
voting oy rjai lot was 10 protect the voter
from the prying curiosity of persoua who
mignt, irora improper motives, endeavor to
influence his vote, the Radicals in Indiana
have announced their intention of controlin
the votes of all who can be reached through
their necessities, or in any other manner.
lnis is a bold step, and it should command
the attention of workingraen in all parts of
the country, vv hen tne poor man's ballot
is marked by order of his employer, the free
dom of our elective franchise is gone, and
when that is gone, the laborers of this nation
is no better off, so far as their political rights
are concerned, than those of Russia or Aus

Cardinal. Antonelli has addressed a
elter to the Papal Nuncio at Belgium tatiDsr
that the Holy See had heard that some of
the bishops think that the apostolic constitu
tion , including the dogma of infallibility pro
claimed by the Kcumenical Council, July 18,
is not obligatory upon the ChurGh so lon
a3 it is not published solemnly and officially
by the Pope. The Cardinal says that every
one should understand that this view is an
error. The constit ution was duly promul
gated, and the Pootiff confirmed it. It was
advertised io all usual places, and is binding
upon the whole Catholic world without fur
ther notice.
Casts asd Color The Morgan I Ugh gate
Nuptials. A correspondent of the Alexan
dria (Va.) Gazette ays : "The quietness of
Jackson, Mississippi, was broken in upon
yesterday by the report that an amalgama
tion wedding was to take place that a
white State Senator was to take unto bim
Bclf a wife of the darker hue. Many doubt
ed the correctness of the report, w hile others
were sanguine, having gained their informa
tion from reliable authority. The particu
lars, so far as I can learn, are as follows : A
few days before tho close of the session of
the Legislature ; Senator A. T, Morgan made
his appearance in the gallery with Carrie V.
Highgate, a colored school mistress, upon
his arm. This naturally created a great stir
among the representatives of the progressive
party who occupied seats within the bar.
Many were the remarks made and glances
erst. Several ladies, wives and daughters
of Republicans, who were in the gallery at
the time, retired in disgubt. The Democrats
sat quietly and enjoyed the sight, and the
consternation tho reality of their policy crea
ted among the opposition. rShortly after
this occurience, a Democratic Senator, in
course of debate, referred to it. Morgan iu:
mediately arose and infirined the gentleman
he cou'd not accuse him of inconsistency, .is
he would prove to him in future. True to
his premise, he jesterday appeared in the
Clerk's office and procured the necessary li
cense to make the twain one. Armed with
this document, he procured the services of
Rev. Aaron Moore, colored Representative
from Launderdale county, and proceeded to
the residence of Mrs. Lee, (colored) where
Miss Highgate boarded, where the ceremony
was performed at midnight. The "happy
couple" then proceeded to the depot in a
close hack, in which they remained until the
irain arrived to carry them on their bridal
tour. Everj-thiog was done very quietly
tho nuptials being witnessed only by a
few fritnds. The bride is a Marylar.der by
birth, and has been teaching a colored school
in this city for some time. She is the niece
of James Lynch, the colored Secretary of
State, and is what might be called a ver3
handsome qnadron (copper color) ; she is
well educated and dresses very fashionably.
The groom is a New Yorker by birth, but
now lives in Yazoo City, and represents the
Thirteenth District in the State Senate.
II EART- RKNPINQ CALAMITY. The Point
Pleasant (Va ) Journal says : A gentleman
just frni Roaue county gives the particulars
of a most heart-rending calamity that hap
pened last week on Spring Creek, in that
county, and by which one family were be
reft of four children io less than an hour.
A lady, whns-e name our informant had for
gotten, residing ou the above named creek,
went down to it in the morning for the pur
pose of doing the "week's washing." taking
with her the youngest child, an infant about
a year old, leaving the other three at the
house. While engaged at her work she
heard tupprepsed cries at the house; taking
up her child trom the soiled clothes on w hkh
it was sitting. he placed it in an empty
tub to keep it from crawling to the creek du
ring her absence, and hastened to the honi-e,
where she met her eldest child with its head
frightfully disfigured and swolen. She hast
ily gleamed from this one that the three chil
dren had crawled uuder the house iu search
cf eggs; that while under something hurt
them, and that the other two were still
under the house. The mother, upon looking
under the house, found them dead, with sev
eral moccasiu snakes ( a very poisonous and
deadly specie) crawling around theirbodics.
The neighbors were alarmed, and by their
assistance the snakes were killed, and the
unfortunate children taken cut, their bo-lies
presenting a fiightful and sickening appear
ance. By this time the elder ono wus a
corpse. 'I he mother in her despair arid
agony had forgottu until now her little one
at the creek, and upon goinc down to the
creek fwr it, it was only to fiutl it also a
corpse in the creek. It is supposed the little
child climbed up in the tub and was holding
on to the lower edgo of it when the tub
upset, rolling tbe child into ti e water below
and drowning it. It is said the mothei's
grief was so great that at last accounts she
was a raving mauiac.
Tbojoungman whoVas lonely since
his mother died" is all right now. His fath

Thk Huntingdon Glofje.ia speaking cf po
litical affairs in that county, says: "Thi
situation is mixed. Where Row is the hon
esty in politics ? A year ego a factum if
the republican party defeated some of the
best republicans phced in nomination by a
republican convention. This year that tac
tion is permitted by the voters to have the
power to make guerriUaism respectable.
If there is to be no punishment in this coun
try of men or factions for violating party
laws, governiug party organ'za'.ion. we fear
party organizttiou will benefit nominees but
very little." The same paper also remarks :
"The disorganizes' again, the Republican,
thinks that its wing of the party had a great
and crushing victory over the ttue nic-u of
the party in tho nomination by the conven
tion of Mr. Morrell for a third term. We
admit that the disorganiz'.-rs carried the day,
but when it is remembered that that wing
had all the offices in the couuty and al! the
power to make appointments, aud that the
opposition to Mr. Morreli's nomination had
neither the help of office holders or expect
ants, and no candidate to rally around, the
victory don't seem to be very heavy."

tator gives the harrowing particulars ct the
horrible death of two young girls, caused
by the explosion of kerosene oil. The vic
tims were daughters of Mr. Edward Ueiser.
resiuing several miles west ol Churchville.
One or two circumstances connected with
this sad affair are worthy of note. The elder
alone was burnt by the explosion, and the
flames were communicated to tho younger
while trying to save her sister. The younger
after proceeding some distance in the direc
tion in which they ran, her clothes being al
most if cot wholly burnt from her body, re
turned to the house to procure a dress,
which she carried to Mr. Lightner's; while
the elder bore the entire distance the oniy
member of the family when the accident oc
curred, a child eighteea months old, and on
reaching Mr. Lightner's where also was her
father, throwing her arms about her father's
neck, her r6t words were: "We're burnt
to death, but we have saved the baby."
The child escaped without injury.
