It is a difficult task Tor a man to write an article against the removal infamj and at the tame time preserve Lib temper. Jt is a Herculean labor to attempt to refute a prop ortion, of such ovcrthadowirtg importance to the whole people of Cambria county, in which there utter has been aud never can be adduced a single reason that can be dignified with the Dame of argument or common sense. The question of the location of a county cat involves in its determination, not the interests or convenience of any one particu lar locality, but the convenience of the citi Zens of the entire ccnr.lv. It has always been a controlling consideration with tin commissioners, appointed in purruance of an Act of Assembly providing for the erec tion of a new county, to endeavor lt locate the county scat as near the- geographical centre of the proposed new county as possi ble, due regaid always being had to road and other facilities. When the commission era named in the original act establishing Cambria ctmniy proceeded to discharge tl.eir duties, they located the county beat at Eb ensburg, then really and iu tuih an i bscure mountain village" a point which was then and still continues to be about a quarter cf a mile from the territoiial centre of the county. The trustees, as the Act of Assembly styled them, to locate the county seat, were John Horner, John J. Evans, and Al. lan der Ogle. This waa done during the session of 1805. The question now prists, shall it be undone, and the county rcat be removed from the centre of the county to wiihin tvo and a half miles of the line of S'-mtrstt coun ty, merely to gratify tie moral vanity and ambition of a few disappointed i ffice seekers in Johnstown ? It has been a particular matter of glorification on the pait of the removal faction, that Johnstown was the centre of population and commerce. We deny the truth of the assertion ard will let the returns of the cen6u$ settle the question. Is It honest, fair or right that the people of the northern portion of Cambria county, the townships of Susquehanna, Carroll. Chest, Clearfield and White, to and from which districts there are good and available roads leading to Elensburg, should be forced and compelled, n they would be if the county eat is removed, to go to Johnstown, more than trice the distance now traveled, and to pay more than hcice the expense ? Is there a man of honesty aud intelligence in either of the townships named who will endorse or sanction so glaring and unparalleled an' out rage 1 We think not ; and by their votes as men who are in favor of even-handed jus tice, though the heavens should fall, they will teach all such double-faced politcal hyp ocrites as Henry D. Woodruff that they are f,-,n .,,f... . ... .... wmjticui iu ia&e care cr tneir own local and personal interest that they fully understand and appreciate his hollow and insincere professions of friendship and that on the second Tuesday of October next they will pronounce upon him the fearful sen tence which was once passed on his infamou prototype of old, "Mene. mtne Ukel vphar- tin" "You have been weighed in the b&U auce and found wanting." it. But H.D. Woodruff opposes him since he has been bought over. 8o of the Toot House. The Directors of the Pwr of Cambria cuanty are three Ger man, two cf whom are mechanics, and one a farmer. One reside in Ebensburg. one in Johnstown, and one in Jackson township. Woodruff would not dare to assail either of there gentlemen, .personally, because be knows they are bouest men. Peter H. Berg, the present nominee, is also a German farm er. If these laboring men arc not qualified to take care of the iuteresta of the people, with due regard to the comfort of the poor and unfortunate, in God's name who are? Woodruff sustained them uutil he was b ught! Now he prates about the ring, and sup ports a ticket half radical urges the election of meu who have fought all their lives against the Democracy and in favor of the negro, lie, (Woodruff) calling himself a Democrat, puts three old Know Nothings Joseph Croyle, Thomas Davis and Ilenry Walters above the regular Democratic tick et, aud has the impudence to ask Demo crats to vote for it. Like all renegades, he will find that he underrates the intelligence of the Democra cy of -Little Cambria." II. D. Woodruff. If there ever was any doubt that II. D. Woodruff, the editor of the Johnstown Dem ocrat, and now the purchased candidate of the removal faction for Assembly, is a first class blackguard peerless, and beyond all approach in that particular, sphere that doubt has been conclusively dispelled by the filthy columns of his last week's issue. If it were possible for him to have a single sin cero friend in Johnstown, or Ebensburg, the vile and uncalled for personal abuse which he has seen fit to heap upon the editor of this paper ought to make the check cf that friend crimson with profound shame. If he expects that hecn provoke us into imitating his cowardly example, he ie sadly mistaken. We have stated to him, heretofore, that neither his character nor that of our own, have anything whatever to do with the issue which is involved in the present cam paign. The stake is far higher and far be yond all fuch personal controversies. Our charge agsiust ii. D. Woodruff bus been and will coutinue to ha, that he has played a double and dishonorable game that on the 8th of August he was in this place, at the meeting cf the County Convention, the opeu avowed and violent enemy of the removal of the county scat that he denounced William U. Ilote and Capt. Bouacker on the distinc ground that they icere in favor of Vie remo rat and be would not, for that reason, support them if nominated. Has he ever denied the truth of these allegations? Never! Nor dare he do so. In twelve days after hnving thus fumed and blustered against the remo val project, this very creature, II. D. Wood ruff, accepted a nomination from the mon grel convtnMon at Cresson, on a removal platform. Wculd a pore, upright man, as he claims to be, thus dishonor and demean himself ? Does the history of parties in Cambria, or any other county in the State present a parallel case of such shameless wanton, bare-faced duplicity and persona abasement ? If so, we would like to know it. This, and this alone, is our grievance against II. 1). Woodruff. We had nothing to do with his persoual character or habits until he made an unprovoked attack upon r,ur6elf. To all such personal warfare we will respond and resent in the proper tone If Woodruff, in the future, sees proper to evade the true issue and indulge to the top of his bent in vile personal defamation, let him pursue hi natural instincts, lie is wel come to all the laurels he can place upon his traitorous brow in .uch a contest. BEAD TEE TRUTH!! THOSE REMOVAL NUTS CRACKED! We despise publishing Court proceedings in tbe newspapers of the day for political effect, and our only excuse for inserting the following is that the questions were publish, ed in the Removal organs, and is no more than just that tbe answers should be pub lished also. The Court relieved the efficers to whom these questions were propounded, of all blame prononoced the answers full and sat isfactory whereupon James Potts immedi ately left Ebensburg on foot, and was found wandering somewhere near Wilmore and taken charge of by his friends: Lewis Plitt, C.

I otts was nominated by the removalites for Assembly, but didn't suit the Boggs ring. Accordingly he got sick to order 1 a . aeciinca and got well again! Woodruff euned better. It is true, he had supported and praiseo the management of theCommis sionera' Office and the Poor House it ia true, he had opposed tbe removal project but in buying him, body and breeches, bis purchasers knew they bought his paper along with turn. Woodruff no it says the County Commis- sioccrs are corrupt and dij-honest. The Board are John A. Kennedy, Morris Mc Namara and James E. Neason. One reside in Carrolltown, one la Johustown, one in Clearfield and none ia Ebensburg. Yet ihey are tbe corrupt Ebensburg rin?. What balderdash and falsehood! H. D. Wood ruff would not dare to call these gentlemen either dishonest or wasteful of the people's money. Io fact. Woodruff himself gets more from these same Commig.-ioners annu ally than any man in Ebensburg. excepting tbe counsel and clerk of the Commissioners. Francis O'Friel, th Democratic nominee for Coram iwioner, is admitted by all men, of all parties, and by Woodruff himself, to bo the beet man that could have bteu nomina ted for the position. If reform were needed, k wxoW, of all men, b the roan to make We do not suppose that any person who knows us believes that we wrote letters in fa vor of Mr. Morrell and against Mr. Johnston as alleged by the pretended Ebensburg cor respondent of the Johnstown Democrat; still we cannot resist the temptation of showing the utter fatuity of the accusation, and for that purpose have gone to tbe fountain head to obtain evidence which can neither be questioned or refuted. The gentlemen who have furnished the following letter are not of our political way of thiuking. which makes their testimony if poesible the strong er and more convincing : Altoona, Sept. 19, 1870. To Whom It Mat Concebn. Our mt.minn having been called to a statement made by a correspondent ot the Johnstown Djjmocbat, writing over me nou ae flume ot Bismarck in which the publisher of the Civmu F. max is charged with having written letters irtm jonosiown to an Altoona paper, in 186S, iu nuicu letters ne lauuea air. Morrell and tra duced his Democratic opponent in th Con gressional contest of that year, Mr. Johnston we deem it due to Mr. McPike to say that he' wrote no letters of that character to our paper and as the Tbibpnb was the only newspaper i,"u," "r" uuung jjir. jacr. a reeiderce in Johnstown, it follows that he could not have written them to any other journal printed in this p.v.- n.,, liBiuioauon oi our files show that in one or two of the lexers iu question reference was made to Messrs. Morrell and Johnston, -u '-n ,,S..W,y ,audat7 or condemnatory of either. This is a plain statement of facts for hue vuw oi wnicu we freely vouch. McCacM & Daajr, Editors Altoona Tribune. As to the assertion that many Democrats in Johnstown believe that we voted for Mr. Morrell in 1866. we are willing ,t should go for what it is worth, and that is simply nothing. Nobody believes it or ever did h. Iteve it, and it would on'y be a waste of vaiuauia time and space toatlemDt to refnt,. s. silly a charge. We will simply Pav that if our business associations in 1866 gave rise to such an impression, and the editor of the Democrat, when asked, assiened that h only reason, then the affiliations of Mr voiirun at me piesent day stamp him as a radical of the moft ultra character fnr among such men he finds his noisiest parti sans and most fulsome friends. That he is n. longer a Democrat, bis treacherous course has only too plainly established, but that be is a radical after the fashion of oimr nf w- prominent supporters in the removal iniquN y we an. fain to believe, yet his own reason. mg can lead to no other conclusion. To mi Honorable tbe Jdsgfs of said O vrt; The answer of John A Kennedy, Mxurice McNamara, and James E. Neason, Commis sioners of Cambria County, and Wm. Linton, Treasurer of said County, in response to an at tachment awarded by your Honorable Court, respectfully represents: That your respondents hereby, upon their corporal oaths, purge them selves of any contempt of said Court, in not replying to the interrogatories propounded by said complninants.

The London Standard publishes a private letter, written from Cheef.w, June 80, in which the barbarities practiced on tbe fatal day of the massacre are fully depicted. After telling how tbe French Consul, M. Fonlauier, M. Thomassin, an attache of the consulate and his wife, and two Catholic priests were murdered, the letter proceeds to give details of the sanguinary sequel to these crimes. THI WRETCHED DEATHS CT THE SISTERS OF CHARITY. The mob, led on by soldiers, set fire to tbe consulate and the church of the Catholic mission, and burnt all the other inmates w ho could not escape. S multaneously with the assault on the French consulate, the mob and soldiers surrounded the hospital of tbe French Sisters ot Charity. Having set fire to a portion of the building, they entered the gates and dragged all the Sisters of Char ity out into the street. There they stripped them naked, exposed to the public gaze, plucked out their eyes, cut off their breasts, ripped them open, dragged out th-ir hearts, aud deliberately cut them to pieces, and di vided portions of their flesh amongst the infuriated mob. No European witnessed these outrages on humanity save the poor victims, who, in presence of each other, passed through tbe trrible ordeal, and per ished without hope of release, and without any support in that extreme nour of misery and tornieut save their confidence in a mer ciful God, whfse behests they have endeav ored to fulfill amongst a barbarous people at the peril of their lives. Chinese specta tofs of the bloody scene relate other horrors perpetrated on the innocent ladies that can not be mentioned. The lady superioress ol the hospital, it is related, was cut in twain while yet alive. God alone and the oisters know what they endured of aguoy aud bodi ly sufferings. Their modesty outrafd, their purity defiled, their poor frail frames torn asauDder, their blood scattered, and their lives destroyed by savages 'nho.se murderous rage inflicted all those and other outrages amidst a scene of horror that alone would be terrible to encounter. One short h iur mf ficed to extinguish those noble martyrs of charity, llieir labor of love among the pour of Tien-tein for six years was thus crowned in bitterneps and earthly shame, by tbe very people whom tbej had succored and fed and clothed and tended iu tLe hour of bitknesa and pestilence. BURMKG OK TUB OKFHAN8 AL1VB. No sojner had the mob and ti;e soldiers glutted their thirst foi human blood on the unfortunate si.-ters than they burnt the en tire hospital. Nearly one hundred chilriien, who had been received iuto the orphanage attached to the hospital, perished ia the flames. The mutilated members of the dead distort weie thrown into the burning rnius and thus, together with the little children they were charitably nurtuiing. was tho holocaust completed. Asotbeh Pbmocratic Yictort. The Wilmington, (Del.) city election was held on the 6ih inst., and resulted in a glorious triumph for the Democracy. Wm. Bright, Udiuocrat, was elected President f the city council by ever two hundred mpj-rity, and the entire Radical ticket was signally defeat ed. The Democrats carried five of the nine wards. Wilmington is usually liadical by frt m fifty to two hundred. This year, with the accession to the party of "moral ideas" of several hundred negroes, enfranchised by the F.fleenth Amendment, the city ranges iue'f unmistakably ou the skleof tbe friends of constitutional liberty. The Tesnlt ha produced unbounded enthusiasm amorg Democrats, and has fallen like a bombshell fa the lUnical camp. Delaware can be set down as good f r her usual maj.-rity, if not more. The Radicals daring the afternoon boasted that they would vote hitween six and seven hundred r.egross, and claimed four hundred maj irity when the polls closed. Their de feat is a Radical disaster, and points to a certain and inevitable rout .in November. Their uegro allies prove a burden in Wil uiingtou as in all other cities. Ranting Rad ical politicians bere are denouncing negro suffrage as the cause of their defeat. The Democrats and Conservatives are ju-bilaut. A few da8 since Mrs. Klinsensmith. of Irwin Station, fainted and fell into a deep well. She was rescued by a gentleman who bappend to be near. Magnifickxt R -man Catholic Cathe dral at Newark Rev. Father Doane. of Newark, who has just returned from Eu rope, has spent some months in visiting the cathedral towns of tbe C.ntinent and in ex amining the larger churches ia Rome and England. Mr. O'Rourke, of Newark, and two Loudon architects accompanied Father Doane, and ho has returned with the plans for a magnificent cathedral. The edifice will be in the form of a cross, built of brown stoue, with u spire Containing niches for statues. The style will be pure Gothic of the seventh century. The roof is to bo com posed of groined arches, supported by col umns of Aberdeen granite. If the plans are strictly followed the building will be the finest of its kind in the couutry, exceeding considerably in size the Fifth avenue cathe dral, of New York, now building, and in beauty the immense cathedra! of that city. More than a year has been spent in perfect ing the plans, and it is expected that fifteen years will be spent in the erection of the building. A stbanor bcicide was committed in narrisoo county (Mo ) on the 1st inst. A traveler stopped at a farm where they were threshing out grain, and eointr into tb baruyard began talking to some of the men at work, telling them be used to work with a machine, whereupon he asked leave to drive, ll'wlrequest wasgranted. and aftter a short spell he asked if he might not feed the machine. It was quite apparent that he was well posted in regard to threshing, and having fed for sometime, he looked around at the driver with a nod, signifying that be wanted more power. Standing still till the cylinder was flying and buzzin around like "double-geared lightning," and everyone becoming alarmed at the awful motion, he jumped bead first against the teeth of the cylinder, and in less than an instant be was crushed into eternity. No one knew him. and there were no papers upon bis person by which he could be identified. Somk facts are stated by the Delaware Gazette, in relation to the negro vote in WiU mington. which are interesting, as showing tho tff.ct of this pet scheme of the Radicals upon white men. In the FourSh ward, fifty, onn negroes voted. This ward gave fifty seven Democratic majority last year. Now it returns Dinety-nine majority. In tbe fifth ward, where the negro vote is strong the Radical majority fell from ninety-five Tn 1869, to twenty nine it 1870. This is a marked change. One hundred negroes voted in the sixth ward, and yet the Radical m. jority was reduced from sixty-three to thirty . . "au"-'" majority m the Kighth ward, in 1869. was sixty-six. With all the negro votes tbey only beat the Democrats twenty-eight at tbe last election. The facts are significant. They marshal th n cratic party in the road it should travel and point out tne path to certain success. White men will not yield the rule of this to negroes. General IYers Items. The Rev. Dr. James of Bustletown Pa., is the oldest Methodist preacher in the world. He is in his ninety fourth year, and has been a preacher for seventy years. A thuuderbolt, weighing thirty-five pounds, was picked op in Greene county, Pennsylvania, a short time since by a farmer named Banverd, who had seen it fall. It resembles hard sandstone. A young girl and a young man kneeling in the Catholic church in Ledberf, Ger many, were recently 6truck by lightning and killed. Tbey were five paces apart, and persons kneeling between the two were not injured. Tbe Radical organ of Clearfield the Rnfismaifs Journal, speaks of the laboring man ns 'the lowest Btartum ol our popula tion." He will find it a rather bigh "stra tnm" for him and his plg-tai!s to get over on the day of the election. The Radical nominating convention at Pittsburgh, Pa , refused to give a single German a place upon the ticket. After that they pr-ssed a resolution highly eulogis t'c of tie Germans in the Old World, aud of the Prussians in particular.

The Democratic Conferees for the Eigh teenth Congressional district of Pennsylva ma. composed of the counties of Lycoming. Centre, C !r. ton, Tioga and Potter have nom inated the Hon. Henry Sherwood, of Wells borongh, Tioga county for Congress. Mr. Sherwood is a lawyer of large practice, a man of great moral worth and will command a full vote in the district. Kx-Presidenl Andrew Jjhnaon made a long and important speech at Gallatin, Ten nessee, on Saturday nitht. Ho proclaimed that he waa always a Democrat, and had been elected Vice President aa a Uuion Dem ocrat. He conn sell ed the people of Tennes see to act with the National Democracy, and to repudiate the actions of the old se.es sion leaders, who were striving to regain tbeir influence in the affairs of the State. About the first church which the Rev. Wm. Pinkney. now assistant Bishop of Maryland, will probably consecrate is the historic and splendid sanctuary at Rock Crek, which was planned, surveyed and oftentimes euperin tended by Washington. Remarkable ss it may be. it d.rs rot appear thatthe edifice, altbonch originally erected in 1791, was really never consecrated. Vincent Colyer. John V. Farwell, and John D. Lang, Indian Commissioners, ar rived at St. L uis on Wednesday, aft.er a three weeks' consnltatfon with the Osage Indians.

Connecticut, has whitteld. with a pen-knife, a perplexing battle puzzle. He ha taken an eight-ounce phial, and set up in its interior a perfect keg. about two inches long, with four hoops iu.it, and both head in ; and he has stop ped the bottle with a wooden plug, which fits perfectly tight and is keved inside, the key.pinned and the pin toggled. The work manship is excellent and the way it was done is a mystery. At the execution on Friday last, of the four negroes, at the Isle of Wight Court House, for murder, when the drop, fell two of the ropes broke, leaving two bodies dan gling from the scaffold, and two lying on the ground.
