We have usually found the reputed editor of the Johnstown Tribune to be a gentleman iu his advocacy of the Removal humbug, and to our controversies with him we have studiously treated him as such. In his last paper, however; he attempts a Removal dodge of which he ochl to be ashamed. lie modestly tells "the citizens of Susquehanna, Chest and White townships," that they "are desirous of having a new cocnty carved out of Cambria, Clearfield and Indiana coun ties, with a county seat somewhere on the waters of the Juniata, or its tributaries;" and then be pledges ''the people of Johns town and the Fouth of the county" in favor of the project, and undertakes to give reasons why the celebrated ''Ebensburg Ring" are opposed to the.wortft end of the county. Does Mr. Swank believe this bald nonsense himself? or does he flatter himself that anv j other sensible man in the county, whether in j or out of the townships named, will swallow j and be gulled by such superlative humbug- It has been stated and restated by the or gans of the removal faction, that the county " eat ought to be removed to Johnstown, for the reasiin that it (Johnstown) was the centre, not only cf commerce, but alao of population. VTe always felt confident that the census returns would not sustain this weeping allegation. Scuie time last Spring the Tribune went so far as to boast that Johns to wd and the surrounding boroughs contained a population of thirty thousand We denied this at the time, and now let us see how the facts really are. According to the returns of the census just taken, and which will be found elsewhere in this paper, the population of the entire county is 6, 572. The population of Johnstown and the adjoining boroughs is as follows : Johnstown Borough (5 ward) &,0iS VUMl'UlllUJCU Cumbria, ' Millville ProrjK.-et " Franklin " Coopersdale " East Couemaiuh (2 wards). .Veto 1.744 2.105 576 t!4'i 3vSl Total 13,8-1.3 Thus showing that in the balance of the county there is a population of 22,729. In view of these plain and convincing fig ures, what becomes of the preposterous as sumption, that Johnstown and its dependen cies contaiu even oue-hulf of tho population of the whole county, much less thirty thou sand, which would be only G.G72 less than the aggregate population of the entire conn ty. We commend these acts to the cartful aud serious consideration cf the editor of the Tribune. They speak for themselves, and unlike II. L. Woodiuff, do not present two fuces and cannot lie. Wo will even, for the sake of the argument, go further and add to the foregoing population of the vity of Johns town, the eo called commercial centre of gery We can always meet George T. Swank's pretended arguments.r.ut v.e confess our utter inability to eucouuter. the low, personal blackguardism of Ilenty D. Woodruff. The former gentleman is entitled to all respect as a man and an editor the latter is a po litical villain the purchased enemy of the Democratic party of Cambtia county a Ja nus-faced political hypocrite the shame less beti aver of hiaowu best political friends with which we have often charged him, and which we have often anf now dare him (Wiodruff) to deny. The argument of Mr. Swank, if it can be dignified as such, is n confession that the removal project is a pure ly selfish scheme, and that the men iu Johns town who are at the head of it feci and know it to be so. How does he know that tho people of Susquehanna, Chest and White, are iu favor of a new county. We freely admit that it might be so, lut we deny in their name that they are in favor of the removal of the county seat or that they will vote for it. The proposition of the Johnstown Tri bune to the townships to which he refers is simply this and nothing more: Vote for the removal. After that infamy is accom plished, we (of Johnstown) will divide up Cambria county we will agree to divide all the balance ol the county and to annex it by sections and townships, wherever our pleasure may indicate, and then after we secure the county seat of Cambria county at Johnstown, we will, as decent, high minded, honorable men, full of the "milk of human kindness," permit Ebensbnrg and the northern portion of the county to inhabit some vast wilderness, or to make for them selves "a local habitation and a name" i they can. This U the sum and substance of Geoe T. Swank's palaver to Sifiquebanna, Ciiost and White townships, and it will be met in the same spirit of kindness in which it has been offered. THE REGISTRY LAW.

"Thcv being such men as Horner, Douglass and AJ Quire who were Directors in l$6i, could never have been convinced of U19 propriety of appointing as Steward a man who had just proved his utter dishonesty and worthlessness by p!ur dol ing the people" to the amount of $27cO.OJ. r., County Treasurer." The above extract is taken To the Democratic Voters of Western Venn? a; Your attention is directed to the following explanation of the Registry Law. Read it carefully, in order to ascertain what is your duty in the premises, pnd then see that your names are placed upon the assessor's list. NATURALIZED CITIZENS Will see that the Republican Legislature has imposed additional duties upon them. Let them comply fully with the law, in order that tbey may vote' for the party which has stood ly theaw- ' t . EXAMINK TUB ASSESSOR'S LTSTS, One of which iS""Tpostert on the house "where the election is to be held, and the other is in the assessor's hands. You have a right to examine them, free of charge.. These lists should contain your name, and the names of all qualified voters in the district ; they shonld state, if yon" are a house-keeper, the number of your house 5 the street it fronts on ; your ocenpaiton ; if you board, where and with whom you board ; if you work for another, your employer's name ; and opposite your name should be written the word "voter." If you have been naturalized, there will also appear tho letter "N." If you have merely declared your intention to become a citizen, the letters "D. I." If you are between 21 and 22 years old, the word "age." If you have removed imo the district since the last election, the letter "R." will appear opposite your name. Make it your personal duty to see Uiatyour name is upon the list. Do not trust this matter to any one else. liUW TO GET KEOI3TEF.ED. If you find your name is not on the list, go yourself to the assessor, and make your claim to be put on. He is bonnd to add vour name. He cannot question your right. You need not discuss the matter with him, your "claim'' is enough. Give hira also j our precise residence, occupation, &c. He will mark "C. V." opposite your name. ATTEND TO TDIS AT ONCE. If you delay until within ten days of the election, you may lose your yote. NATURALIZED CITIZKNS, Yoy must show yonr "papers" to the as- sessor, in order to get your Dame registered. If you intend to take out your "last pa pers" before the election, you must show your "first papers" to the assessor. See that your names are on the list. Those of you who do not need to have "first papers," and intend to be naturalized before the election should get naturalized first, immediately; and go to the tassessor with your "papers." All naturalized citizens must take their ''papers' with them to the polls, unless they have been voting for ten years in the same district. . You must take your "papers' with you when you vote, even if your name i3 on the list. Do not forget this, or your enemies will deprive you of your vote. TAXES. The law in relation to the payment of taxes is unchanged. If you have paid neither a State or county tax assessed wWdn two years, do it without delay. Take your last tax recipt with you to the polls. Do cot delay registering or paying your taxes ; attend to the matter now, for fear something may prevent hereafter. from a com- Cambria and all the counties adjacent there- j to, the number of inhabitants embraced in tho townships of Yoder, Taylor, Conemauh, Uuicati"u the last Johnstown Democrat Richland aud Adams, amounting to 4,887, J signed "Fair I'iay." We admit thai Col. iucLfenniu was a detaulter as the Treasurer of Cambi ia county, as many other honest but unfortunate men have been in this and other which, when Added to Johustown and the other boroughs named, show a total popula tion of 18.730. or 11,270 less thau claimed ly the Tribune for Johnstown, Millville, &c, more than six months ago. It is quite un necessary to pursue tho subjoct any further. It ia a qnestu n easily understood and is one that caunot posibly be explaiucd away, or that can fail to eati.-fy and convince the mst ordinary comprehension. But, admit ting that Johnstown is the centre of popula tion and that it i, as claimed by the remov al men, tho great commercial mart of this section of the State, which it is not acd never can bo, does all that furnuh any valid reason for the removal of the couuty seat ? This swindling project involves a question of justice, not to tbe removal "ring" in Johnstown, but to the people of the whole county. However much a certain clique in Johnstown may be fatally bent and deter mined on the destruction of the Democratic party in Cambria county, and the conse quent defeat of that paity to a certain ex tent in the State, we believe thete still re-! mains an inherent sense of right and honesty in the hearts cf tbe people of the southern portion of the county, of all parties, not even excluding Johnstown, to do even hand ed justice. Can any fair-minded man in Yoder, Taylor, Conemai-gh, Richland or Ad ams townships, aid and assist by his vote and influence to perpetrate a plain and fla grant act of injustice towards the balance of the county, merely because he, by tbe remo val of the county seat, would be a little nearer to the Johnstown Court Ilnnao 1 T any such feeliug an indication of honesty? and is it a fair illustration of the Christian end well recognized maxim, that a man should do unto other as he would wish that they should do unto him ? The people yet are generally true to the right and to hones ty, and we never will believe that there is any considerable body of men in Southern Cambria who are willing, by their votes in favor of Woodruff, to drag men to Johus town from tho northern and north-eastern sections of the county, at great expense and personal inconvenience, merely to gratify the mercenary considerations of a few holders in Johnstown. Reverse the facts, and then let them, a honest men and as sin cere advocates of the cause of justice and truth, answer for themselves at tbe ballot bcx. Let justice be done although the heav ens should fall ! couuties. Col. McDermitt, however, has since paid nearly all his indebtedness to the county. Henry D. Woodruff is responsible for this chargo against Col. McDermitt, having given it publicity. We now, with the proper papers before us, assert that this same Henry D. Woodruff was the Treasurer of Perry county for the years 1858 and 1859, and that on the 20th day of March, 1860, he (the said Henry D. Woodruff) was a default er to tto btate, as the Treasurer of Perry county, to the amount of $2,506.11. We admit that the defalcation was paid on the 24th of March, 1863, it then amounting to J2.183 39 there having been some pay ments made in the meantime. We do not of course refer to Woodruff's conduct as the Treasurer of Perry county as any argument either for or against, the removal of tbe county seat, but as he has seen proper to give publicity to an attack on Col. McDer mitt as a defaulter, we meet him with a "Roland for an Oliver." Will he dare deny what we have said ? We speak by the book and with the official documents before us. Hon. Edo.ar Cowan, cf Greensburg. re cently Uuited States Senator from this State, was in town on Tuesday last. Mr. Cowan is a gentlemau of well known and acknowU edged ability. He was an old line Henry Clay Whig, and was a warm and intimate personal as well as political friend of Abra ham Lincoln, and enjoyed his entire confi dence. Mr. Cowan has hosts of friendo in the State and throughout the country who will protect him and defend him in the fu ture for even the highest office in their gift. In the last Johnstown Democrat there was published a communication signed "T." It is a defence of Daniel M'Laughlin, and bears the ear marks of M'Laughlin 's handwritiug. It is a foolish effort to show that McLaugh lin was defeated for the Assembly in the Democratic county convention of this countv in 1861 for the reason "that he was not a sufficient number of years in the county to be a candidate for that office." If this was true Mr. M'Laughlin ought to know the fact, and if it was not true, then he has no right at all to make any complaint. Now wnat uoes ce mean by tho unblushing charge that he (M'Laughlin ) was defeated by what he impudently styles the "Know NothiDg Ring" at Ebensburg? When was there ever a "Know-Nothing Ring" in Eb ensbnrg, inside of the Democratic party and when did the Democratic party ever refuse to nominate a man lor any office on account of his nationality or his religion 1 ' It always has been, and we trust it always will be, the mission of the Democratic party to ignore religion in party politics. This has been the landmark of that party in. Cambria county in the past, as it will be in the future. Mr. M'Laughlin ought to be ashamed to charge his defeat in 1881 to .the "Know-Nothiug Ring" in Ebensburgwhile be and his friend Woodruff are now supporting thkee original "Know-Nothings" on the removal ticket.

It would be useless to attempt to keep pace with tbe shameless falsehoods which tbe Johnstown Democrat has been belching forth siuce it and its editors have become the property, by right of purchase, of the remcv at faction In Johnstown. Its editors and correspondents seem utterly incapable of telling the truth, and when the former say that the Freeman is not a self-sustaining in stitution, but is kept up by other means Dot necessary to mention, and when one of the latter asserts that we published a falsehood about the miners' strike in 8chuylkill coun ty and refused to retract it, they all know that they aro bearing false witness against their neighbor and will be held to account therefor We have never j-et received one cent that we did not earn by bard and con stant toil, although we have failed to receive much that is due us on that score. If the Freeman was as worthless a paper as the Uemocrat, and had no better advertising and jobbing patronage than it now possesses, i wouiu nave gone oy me ooarci iouh since as it would have deserved to do, but as the case now stands, it is not only self-sustain ing but is far above and beyond any price Ko IminVf Via (T - n ,1 . : A :i 1. 1 cua.

As to the false hood about the miners' strike, we can only say that if we published it we did it un knowingly, and were never asked to retract. R. Mfiton Spcer. Tb democrats of the Seventeenth district, composed of the counties of Cambria, Biair, Huntingdon and Mifflin, have nomiuated R. Milton Speer,- Esq., of Huntingdon for Congress. Mr. Speer is a good lawyer in full practice at the bar, ia one of the most eloquent and effective stump speakers in the State, and la a true democrat. The conven tion appreciated tho work that was befora them, aud in Mr. Speer they have nominated a formidable opponent to Mr. Morrell, the representative of the Cambria Iron Works. In going before the people of tbe Seven teenth district, Mr. Speer wiD beafcle to pre sent the record of Daniel J. Morrell. His vote stands recorded In favor of every infa mous scheme of plunder that has been pre sented in Congress during the last three years. ' There is not a land job Hinging away millions of acres of the public domaiji to greedy railroad monopolists that had not a supporter in Daniel J. Morrell. He voted for any and every swindle that would bring a vote for the Bessemer bteel ring, that gi gantic monopoly which robs the people of miMions annually, and cripples railroad en terprise for its own benefit. For tbe sake of the Bessemer tariff which has raised steel rails to the enormous price of one hundred and five dollars a tou, Dan iel J. Morrell voted against every proposition that was honestly designed to relieve the public burdens. For that he voted to re duce the duty on pig iron two dollars a ton, while pretending to advocate Pennsylvania's interests. To obtain support in Congress for the Bessemer swindle, he voted to admit bogus representatives from the Southern States who had been defeated by majorities of thousands. To illustrate the character of the man who represents the Cambria Iron Works, and not -the people of the seventeenth district, he has on several occasions had the effrontery to print in the Congressional Globe at public expense,cssays on political economy and finance, not a line of which be wrote himself. While voting the money of the people into his own pocket, he had not the ability to utter one word in his own defense when attacked for his course on the floor of Congress. Yet he gives out as his own speeches essays written by another, which he did not even venture to read in Congress, but asked leave to publish in the Globe. He did not, like Sprague, print his bogus speeches at private expense, but burdened the official newspaper of Congress with the intolerable trash. Morrell is odious to tlie radicals of his district. They are convinced by the record that he has used his position merely for his own selfish aggrandizement, and not for the public advantage. His only purpose in going to Congress is to maintain the ring that has so long plundered the peo ple of this country. They are assured, from their knowledge of him, that he is a worse humbug than John Covode, for Covode was always too much of a man to conceal his own ignorance by employing others to write his tariff speeches. This is the man whom Mr. Speer will meet in the Seventeenth dis trict, and if he does not make it as hot for Morrell as one of his taxed Bessemer bars, we are greatly mistaken in the temper of the people of the Juniata valley. Uarrisburg Patriot. General Xews Items. A frog, lively and strong, was dug up IT affords us great pleasure to state, that Ool. James K. Kelly, Democrat, has been elected Unitod States Senator by the Legis lature of Oregon, for six years from the 4th of March, 1871. Col. Kelly will take the place of Senator Williams, Radical. The writer of this article is an old and warm per sonai mend of Col. Krlly's. They both read law at the same time, and were room mates together. He is a native nf Ponn'.

In 1850 be removed to California ouu nome years subsequently to Oregon. A few years ago he was the Democratic candi- aate tor ingress from that State and after wards ran as the candidate of that party for Governor. On both occasions hv foot ed by very small majorities. Col. Kki.ly is a gentleman of fine abilities and of unblem ished character. We predict for him a use ful and honorable career in the Senate. HiB elevation to that body is peculiarly gratify ing to his old friends in the Juniata Valley. Dubing the past week two of Pennsylva nia's most distinguished sons have passed away. The venerable Robebt C. Gbibb, late one of the Associate Justices ol the Su preme Court of the United States, died in Philadelphia in the reventy-seventh yar of his age. He was emphatically a great man, and was admitted to be one of the ablest jurists in the country. t w-M0yernor William F. Packer died at YYiJiamsport on last Tuesday. He was 63 years old. , Ho was elected Governor in October, 1857. and served one term, his suc cessor being Andrew G. Curtin. Mr. Pack er was a self-made man and endowed with great energy of character. Before he was elected Governor he bad been Canal Com missioner, Auditor General, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and a member o the State Senate. 1 Opening ortlie Shenandoah Val ley Railroad. On Thursday week about four thousand persons assembled at Front Royal, Virginia, to witness the ceremony of breaking ground on this important enterprise. An old-fashioned barbecue took place, but on account of the dense crowd of citizens, strangers were not allowed ta come within the limits, and, therefore, did not even see the tail of the "ox." This is, however, a minor matter compared with the grand scheme of building a great through trunk line of railroad (hav ing its Northern and Southern connections already made) extending through the mag nificent Valley of the Shenandoah, ranging from thirty to forty, miles wide, and extend ing from the Potomac river to and beyond the southern terminus of this road. This valley, in connection with the Cumberland and Lebanon Valleys of Pennsylvania, com prises the richest agricultural, iron, coal and marble region in the whole country, It has been well named the Garden Spot of Ameri ca. Among those present at the opening were W. S. Huntingdon, of Washington city, J. Walker, H. Kilburn, J. W. Magruder, Barbor & Clapp, of the Government Printing uiace, v . i'. Uowpland, Hon. A. K.

These lands willdonbly pay all the expenses of the buildine of these road leaving tbe speculators the road without co6t. Such is one of the blessings of radical rule. It U a robbery without a narallel in human legislation. A vote for Morrell is an endorsement of this robbery. So says the Altoona Sun, and so say we.

Senator Carl Shurz has invited his col league. Seuator Drake, to discuns the polit ical questions of the day before the people of Missouri. Drake declines. Meantime the contest goes on, with all the Democrats and all the liberal Republicans on the side of Shurz, and the negroes, scalawags and carpet-baggers on the side of Drake. In such a conteat the sympathies of all decent white men will be with Carl Shurz. The editor of the Marysville (Tenn.) Republican is a colored man, but not much inclined to follow the malignant teachiugs of scalawag Radicalism. He says: "Let us not 6top to unearth the dead issues of the past, but press forward with renewed zeal, doing battle for the right and opposing the wrong. Conservatism in Tennessee means peace, law, order and equal rights to all ; it buries the past aud builds up a prosperous and peaceful future." One negro recently beat three white carpet-baggers as a Radical candidate for Cougress in the first Alabama district, and now comes the news that Dr. Norton, black, beat Dr. Douglass, white, for the nomination in the first Virginia District.

He was in the penitenttary within tweDty-four hours of the commission of the robbery. 1S68 i Jri:EST3 asd Mortgages.- In the legislature, in view of the difiiculty which was encoautered m borrowing rauoey at six per cent., in competition with the United States bonds wblch were free of tax and produced a much larger interest passed a law exempting mortgages and judgments not given by corporations from all taxation except that by the State. The connty of Lancaster, accordingly, in obedience to the law, levied no tax last year on judgments and mortgages. The city of Lancaster, however, construed the law as applying only to mortgages and judgment for purchase money, and therefore insisted on taxing all other judgments and mortgages. The ques tion has been brought to a legal test before the court of that oanty. and it has been de cided that judgments and mortgages of no kind are liable to taxation, whether held as security for purchase money or by parties at second hand as a rnfo investment of their spare capital.- This decision will bo -read with geat interest in all parts tif tho Slate, and will have a tendeucy to induce men ef means to invest more largely iu this cla&s of securities - "No&le Heroism. One of the most touch ing anecdotes cf the horrible war now deso lating Franco is tliat of a Sister of Charity aijfieischshoffen, who followed in the rear vf the. retreating French forces. All At once she heard a cry that of a soldier just 6hot and writhing on the ground. Running to him she ministered aswell as circumstances allowed, and was about making the sign of the cross on his brow when a cannon ball struck her and carried- off both her legs. She fell dying npon the body of the woua ied soldier. Surely there is a sort of heroism about this which so elevates our nature as to make as almost forget the crime which gave it opportunity of display. From "Our Monthly Gossip." in the October number of LippincvWs Magazine. Dak'l J. Moebell, nor his friends, cannot explain how it came that a Congress which is tliree fourth Radical, reduce the tariff on pig iron from nine to seven dollars per ton. Some of those who apologize for this betrayal of the iron interests of this district, say Con gress was bought with British gold. Grant ing such to be the case, tbe re nomination of Morrtll is rewarding a Congressman for be trayal of his constituents, as Arnold did his country for British gold, for Daniel not only voted for the reduction of the taiff but labored for the passage of the bill.

How Die Radi cals Falsify the Figures. Some of the Dem ocratic papers out of the State do not seem to understand the claim made bv certain Radical journals that the Republican major ity was but slightly reduced in the recent State election here The claim is made in this way that Perham's majority this year will be about the same as Chamberlain' last. But they do not explain that last year the Republicans had two candidates in the fiVld Chamberlain and Rich born. The united Republican vote gave a Republican majority of over .sixteen thousand. This year the RepublicatB united ; no third candidate waa run, and their majority will bo eome seven thousand, showing a Democratic gain of between eight and clno thousand' tk. lonest "Radical journals, it will l. r,hKnr put the Democratic and Temperance Rcpub' -"b"-"' buuw a small majority last year, and, creo. not much of crn n ia the usual Radical way of finrin nua t- ' irciow ugures. foraana Argus.
