S2EXT TUESDAY!
T!t3 importance of the election to take
y'.'. ie next Tuesday cannot be overstated,
it n'of vast importance to the taxpayers
iA l!;e State that an honest and competent
in ui 'ioiild be elected Auditor General.
To it ofrieer may almost be said to carry
; ho key of the Treasury in his own poc
ile id the sworn puardian of the
y 'pie's money, and if he is dishonest or
v. corruptly lend himself in aiding and
r.rn tling the profligate rings that are con
r'antly seeding fraudulently to filch mon-i-y
from the Treasury under the cloak of
sj. fious and improvident legislation, the
v.t ' n and injury that rainy be done by
::fi is almost incalculable. An instruct
ive lesson of the amount of evil that may
h-i ioilicted on the people of the State by
::. intlicient or dishonest Auditor General
is uuight by the enormous robbery and
t"i:-i'zz'ement of George O- Evans. That
; aceful swindle is fresh in the recullec
ii i of all, and ought to impress its warn
i: indelibly on the minds of the people
I.Vt.-s any mm of intelligence believe that
1 ieneral Al'Candleps had had control of
tn-; atTYirs of the Auditor General's office
mi09 April, 1867, John F. Hartranft
! hail, Evans could liave perpetrated so
'.-. endoua a fraud that the Legislature
w i.;'d have assembled four times eince
Kva-w was appointed the agent of the
.S; '.te, and not one word of information be
oramunicated to that body of the amount
t'f noney he had received from thegenerai
V-,-ernraenf, nd what disposition had
t in made of it? William M'Candless
made of sterner and very different ma-
ial, and his whole life is a guarantee
i'. it he would never connive at peculation
-r a fraudulent appropriation of the public
f inis. Stanton, the radical candidate,
..13 nominated bv a faction or a rini
z ra posed of a set of public plnnderers,
.veil known at Harrisburg, whose open
mid notorious business for years has been
t plunder the Treasury in innumerable
and dishonest ways If Stanton should
;.a elected he will be the mero creature of
this scheming and corrupt cabal, and will
be prepared to do their bidding. How
important is it, then, to the people to have
an honest, hih minded, conscientious man
like General M'Candless to watch over
and guard their money against the rapacity
of this horde of public plunderers.
Another reason why tho coming elec
tion is an important one, and especially
so to the Democracy of Cambria county,
is, that it will be the duty of the next
Legislature to apportion the State into
Congressional districts. The Democracy
of Cambria want a representative at Har
risburg who will take care of their politi
cal interests, and who will not oermit
them to be swallowed up in the greedy
i iaw of radicalism. If William U. Hose
is elected that game will not snooped, but
if through sheer and criminal indifference
Samuel Henry, who is a bitter and un
compromising radical, should succeed,
then as soon might we expect mercy and
prelection for the lamb from its old and
hereditary enemy, the wolf, as to look for
even-handed justice to be meted out to
the Democratic party by such an unyield
ing Republican as Samuel Henry. He
is the peculiar representative of a power
in the radical party that now controls the
legislation of tho country, both national
and State, and whose watchword is
"Death to the Democracy !" If he is
elected, no man is so arrant a fool as not
to know that it could only have been done
by Democratic votes. Is there a Demo
crat worthy of the name in Cambria coun
ty who will knowingly and designedly
contribute to that result ? Suppose that
he is elected by the votes of good-natured,
easy Democrats, and that hit vote is the
pivot on which turns the political com
plexion of the House of Hepresentatives,
can any unreflecting Democrat who has
been seduced into his support exclaim,
'Thou canst not say I did it !" Would
he not in his shame and remorse rather
teel like calling on the mountains to cover
him and hide him from the sift wrath
of a betrayed and an "outraged party ?
How any Democrat who loves his party
and its principles can willingly incur the
such a heavy responsibility, is beyond our
conception. It is no tirao to trade horses
while crossing a stream, and every Dem
ocrat, when he casts his ballot next Tues
day, ought to feel as if the result of the
election might depend upon his own vote.
If there is one Democrat in Cambria, or a
sufficient number of Democrats, after a
calm review of the situation and the
weighty responsibility resting upsn him
and them, who is or are prepared to be
misrepresented at Harrisburg, then on hit
and their heads be the consequences of
their own foliy. If they will show them
selves to bo wilfully and fatally blind to
the consequences of their own act if they
will sow the whirlwind in order to reap
the storm if they will deliberately put a
weapon into the hands of the enemy with
which to knock cut their own brains
the Democracy of Cambria, while it can
and will eurvivo the blow, will not forget
the hU? treachery of those who inflicted
it.
Reducing1 tho Public Debt
It is made a matter of constant boast
by the radical press that the present ad
ministration is paying off the public debt
at about the rate of eight millions of dol
lars a month, or one hundred millions a
year. If this system should be continued
for the next twenty -five years the nation
al debt would b entirely extinguished.
Can this policy of a hasty reduction of
the public debt be sustained on any cor
rect principle and with a due regard for
the true interests of the people. We
maintain that it clearly cannot. The
public debt is a result of the late civil
war and was solely incurred in the gigan
tic efforts required for its suppression
That war was not fought al?ne for the
present generation, but was waged also
for the bene fit of those who are to succeed
us. The future will share in its advan
tages as well as the present it was fought
as much for posterity as for those now on
the busy scene of action, and on no'princi
ple of justice ought the present generation,
through whose sacrifice of life and treas
ure it was brought to a successful termi
nation, be compelled to pay the entire
debt incurred in bringing about that re
sult. Every principle of equity would
declare that a portion if not the whole of
this heavy burden should be borne by
those who will follow us. It has not
been the custom of other nations to op
press and impoverish their people by the
speedy liquidation of a great public debt,
contracted for war purposes, but to he
content with the payment of its annual
interest, leaving the principal to be taken
care of by other men and other times.
One would suppose from the boasting
tone of the radical papers that boundless
praise is due to Grant's Secretary of the
Treasury for reducing the debt right mil
lions of dollars a month, and tl,ey make
that claim. Now, when the fact is stated
that the radical party during the last fis
cal year wrung from the people almost
four hundred millions of dollars by means
of the tariff internal revenue, and other
sources, it will be seen how very easy it
is to appropriate the sum of eight millions
each month towards the payment of the
nation's debt. Any man or any adminis
tration could perform a feat so simple as
that when the people are compelled to
furnish the money with which to do it
It ought to stop, and then tho heavy and
crushing weight of taxation which now
oppresses the laboring man conld be very
materially reduced. That will not be
done however as long as the people blind
ly continue the radical party in power.
We understand it is charged against
Mr. Rose in some sections of the county,
that at the instance of the Cambria Iron
Company, he (Hose) procured the passage
of a law last winter, relating to the assess
ment of taxes in Cambria county, under
the provisions of which any owner of pro
perty may appeal from the decision of the
County Commissioners to the Court of
Common Pleas. The charge is false.
The same law applies to Schuylkill, Dau
phin, Somerset and Indiana counties.
The Cambria Iron Company had nothing
to do with the passage of the law, so far
as we know. Before its passage the
Commissioners of this county were con
sulted on the subject, and pave it their
approval. The law is merely discretion
ary, and was simply intended to afford a
remedy in the courts to any property hold
er who felt himself aggrieved by the action
of the County Commissioners. Is there
anything wrong about that ? The law is
a fair one for any person who sees proper
to avail rnmselt of it, and we pity the in
telligence of tho man who can be induced
to vote against Mr. Hose because he was
instrumental in procuiins its nassaie.-
No man can be imposed upon bv a charge
so utt.rly weak and contemptible.
Tiif. most notable political event that
has occurred for some time was the bot
tling up of lien Uutler last week by the
. r .......
ttiassacnnset's Kauical htate Convention,
liutler had set his mind and heart upon
the Governorshiu of that State, as the
stepping-stone to still higher political pre
ferment, but he was ruthlessly stricken
down in the house of his radical friends
and lus Presidential aspirations rudely
seafterd to the four winds of heaven.
He made a bold and vigorous fight, and
the only thing strange ahnjit the matter is,
that as unblushing anP unprincipled a
demngngue as he is universally admitted
to be could receive so many votes in a
respectable political convention. The won
der ceases, however, when it is remember
ed that it was done in a Massachusetts
convention in the year 1871. Although
Hen has been floored, he will not stay
down at the bidding of Massachusetts
radicalism. He is an enferprisin? penius
and full of expedients. Henry Wilson,
one of the. Senators from that State,
helped to drag liutler'down. Butler will
now go for Wilson's Senatorial scalp with
all his accustomed energy, and if he does
not wear that trophy in his belt, we are
greatly mistaken in the man.
Wb have heretofore ureed upon the
Democracy of the county the importance
of voting next Tuesday in favor of calling
a convention to amend the Constitution.
We are firmly impressed with the abso
lute necessity of holding such a conven
tion, and the people of tho State have the
opportunity now presented to them of ex
presses their wish on the subject through
the ballot box. Tf the people refuse to
sanction the project, but vote it down, it
may he a long time before the Legislature
will feel inclined again to nbmit the ques
tion to them for their decision. We de
sire therefore to see a strong vote polled
in favor of the convention and wih that
it could be made unanimous, if that were
possible. In no view that can be taken
of the proposition can it ha regarded as a
party question, but one in which every
tax-payer in the State is directly and per
sonally interested, and for that reason it
ought to receive an undivided support in
every county in the State.
Remember that every man who votes
the radical ticket, votes aga'mst Universal
Amnesty.
The following correspondence between
several hundred Confederate soldiers, of
ficers as well as privates, and Senator
Sohurz, will be read with interest. It is
alike honorable to both parlies.- What
an impassable gulf exists between the high
and patriotic ground occupied by SchurZ
and the partisan and vindictive policy
pursued by John Scott. While the for
mer is a broad and liberal statesman, and
is pouring oil on the troubled waters by
exerting his efforts to bind up the wounds
of the war, the latter is a political dema
gogue, intent only on widening the breach
between the north and the south by pan
dering to a vile and unchristian spirit of
hatred and revenge :
NAsnviLi.E. September 21. 1871. Hon.
Carl Schurz Dear Sla : We. the under
signed, formerly confederate soldiers, wish to
express to you onr high regard for yourself
and our profound regard and admiration of
the unselfish, non partisan, cultivated and
patriotic address delivered by you in this
city. We admire the manly, independent
spirit which refut-es obedience to party when
in conflict with one's convictions cf duty and
right. We pledge you that we are not par
tians j that we have a faith no words can
expires in the sublime igni6eaoce of the
mission and destiny of the Arjoericin repub
lic ; that we honor the national flag as the
assured herald of that day when the races of
men of all ranks and conditions will be re
deemed and delivered from all species of po
litical and mental thraldom. We wish to
turn our hack on all sectional parties, and
all parties groping in the moonlight of the
past ; and to all) ourselves with any party
that will he animated with the spirit of civil
and religions toleration, aud broad and ele
vated patiiotism, not bounded by State lines,
but inspired with an abiding faith in the
geniud of free institutions.
The following is Senator Schurz's re
ply :
Nashviixe IIocsk. Nashville. Sept. 23
Gentlemen: I have received your letter,
and, without aflectatioD, I may say that I
cannot find words strong enough to di scribe
the joy it has given me. The spontaneous
expression of such sentiments as your letter
contains, coming from you as late soldiers of
the confederate army, may well be called an
event of great significance in the history of
our days. When your former comrades, a&
well as you do now. rally around the fl.ig of
the American republic as the symbol of uni
versal freedom, equal rights and constitution
al government ; when they declare that they
will turn their hacks upon all parties grop
ing in the moonlight of the past, and dis
countenance that partisan spirit which is so
apt to obscure the human evson and blunt
the best imputes of the human heart ; when
they once more fully recognize the identity
of their true interests with those of our great
common country then every patriotic citi
zen will feel that the regeneration of the
South is certain to be accomplished by her
own peopie. If there is still lurking here
and there a spirit which keeps alive the feel
iDgs ef animosity and distrust, and which,
by means of social proscription or iDtimida
tion or violence, strives to impede the devel
opment of free public opinion, you can ren
der it harmless by your influence and exam
ple. If there are et ill disturbances of the
peace and order of society occurring, calcu
lated to produce th& impression that the se
curity and rights of citizens can be sufficient
ly protected only by the interference of the
general government in your local concerns,
you can dispel that impression by devotiog
your energies to the enforcement of the laws,
thus proving the capacity of local self-government
to accomplish its legitimate ends
here, as well as elsewhere. If there is still
an apprehension as to a secret design to sub
vert the logical and legitimate result of the
war by reactionary movements, you will re
move tho apprehension by demonstrating
that the young South has risen above old
prejudices and absolute aspirations, and is
determined to build up again the prosperity
and power of those States on a basis in har
mony with the progressive spirit of the age.
Men of courage and convictions like you will
do nothing by halves; they will not look
back when they have pnt their hands to the
plough, and I assure you that your efforts
will have the eincere&t appreciation, hearty
applause, and energetic support of every
true friend of liberty and free institutions.
Your rights will be safe in the security of
the rights of all ; your power will be strong
in the restored brotherhood of all Americans,
and the republic will be proud of all her
Eons.
Yours, etc., Carl Sec cr.z.
George O. Evans has been heard from.
On yesterday week he turned up, just ae
every one knew he would, in New York.
Ho appeared before Judge M'Conn of that
city with bis counsel, Strahen, in obedi
ence to a writ of habias corpus. In whose
custody he was, or who produced him
before the Judge, we are unul.lo to ay.
His attorney insisted that Evans was an
innocent and much-abused man, and that
if he had stolen two hundred and nintly
thousand dollars, he was justified in keep
ing if, because the Act of Assemhly under
which Geary appointed him expressly au
thorized him to do so. Judge McCunn
stated that he would render his decision
to-day. By what authority this New
Y"ork Judge undertakes to go behind the
requisition of Gov. Geary, and to investi
gate the merits of the case, is cettainly a
mystery to us, and we are very certain
that such a thing was never done before.
But as Geary and his Attorney General
have from the very beginning treated this
embezzlement as a very trifling affair a
mere eeven days wonder it is possible
that Judge M'Cunn, if he is well paid for
it, may take the same view of it, and or
der Evans to be discharged. What will
be the next phase in this unholy and dis
graceful business !
Flow the People8JIoney is Squa ndkrfd
One hundred thousand dollars have thus
far been expended upon the humbug Ku
Klux Investigating Committee, gotten up in
order to aid the Radical party, in a political
sense. And they have not produced a parti
cle of proof to substantiate the stories circu
lated by the Radical press in relation to Ku
Klux outrages in the South. One fact, how
ever, they have developed, which is the In
variable attendant upon Radical rule, and
that is that the carpet bag governments of
the reconstructed States have incurred debts
to the amount of $226,000,000, for which
there is nothing to show. The whole sura
ha gone into toe hands of venal officers and
legislators, and rapac:ous speculators, by a
system of bold corruption and swindling, the
like of whioh has never been seen. Thesa
figures, it should be understood, are furnished
by the carpet-bag officials themselves. In
response to a request from the Committee
for information as to the financial condition
of the Southcrp States,
The Tactics of Deception.
The leaders of the Radical party appear
to think that they are always sure of success
when they resort to the tactics of deception.
Their mode of warfare seems to be Comprised
in two geueral proposition ;
1. Tell every conceivable lie Concerning
tne Democratic party and stick to it.
2. Cover up the frauds and corruptions of
the Radical party and keep the people blinded
to the truih.
To carry out this plan of action is the
whole duty of Radical orators and editor
with now and then a rare exception. Al
though m re than two months have passed
since the Democratic party, through its rep
resentative Committee, prsented to the peo
ple of Pennsylvania its reasons for demand
ing a change of officials, no one has attempt
ed to gainsay them or show that they were
not true. O.i the contrary, the traders of
the Radical party have resorted tt every
possible means to deceive the public, and
notwithstanding the most gigantic frauds
have been discovered iu the State govern
ment, these same leaders have sought to hide
the facts, and have shielded the perpetrators
f oti anest and punishment. A brief recap -itrflulation
of some of the reasons why the
Democratic party demands a change in the
administration of public affairs, will be per
tinent and to the pohit at this time :
We complain of our present rulers for
lawless usurpation of power.
Power not delegated is always abuse.
In this, as in otlitr cases, uisurpatioo has
been accompanied aud foil mad by corrup
tion. Frauds without number and almost with
out limit, have been committed upon the
public.
Men of the wortt character for common
honpty are permitted to occupy the highest
places.
Of the money collected from the people,
aud not stolen before it resches the Treasury,
a large portion is squandered by Congress on
partv favori tes, or corrupt Rings, aud on
base com hinatsons of public plunderers.
The enormous extent to which this finan
cial corruption is carried, will become mani
fest to any one who compares the expendi
ture of the government during the six years
immediately preceding the,eivil war and the
six years immediately following it.
Both were periods of pence, and there can
be no excuse for more than a small increase
corresponding to the ratio in which the pop
u'a'iou has advanced.
But where the ordinary expenses for the
fiscal year ending June 1. 1870. exclusive of
Indian annniti?s. pensions and interest on
the public debt, were $14S.G69.922.43. for
the year ending June 1, 1856, the expendi
tures for the same purpose, were only $55,
918,188.72. Here is shown the difference between the
ordinary cost of carrying on our government
when its agents are honet, and the cost of
the same thing when its agents are to desti
tute of moral principle as to disregard all
legal limitation upon their own authority.
As an instance of the extraordinary in
crease in public expenditures we give the fol
lowing comparative statement from the At
lantic Monthly, a literary publication with
strong Radical proclivities.
The annexed table is exclusive of the in
teresi and principal paid onjjthe Public Debt;
This is an increase cf nine fold upon the
administration of President Jackson and
nearly five-fold upon the a-.lministration of
Presideut Buchannan for precisely the same
Hems of expenditure.
What the people want is a free, unper
verted representative government, simple rn
its machinery, easily maintained and one
which dispenses blessings and not burdens.
An economical government, administered
by booest, capable men, who ack wnoledge
their responsibility to the laws and to the
people.
A redaction of taxation and expenditnres,
a rigid accountability for 'all moneys collect
ed from the people, and our institutions main
tained in the full spirit of freedom and lib
erality. The Radical leaders endorse all the wrongs
of which the Democracy complain, and op
pose all for which they ask. Let the people
judge between the two. Pittsburgh Post.
Georqs. O. Evans. A Jupicial Farce.
Evans was arrested in New York on last
Friday, but was immediately taken before
Judge M'Cunn on a writ of habeas carpus.
The judge fixed the hearing for S iturday af
ternoon when he preceded to inquire, not
alone into the legality of the requisition under
which the prisoner was held, which was bis
sole business in the premises, but entered into
an examination of the case npn its merits
in which an elaborate ex-parte defence on
behalf of Evans occupied nearly all the time.
The judge reserved his decision until next
Saturday when there is little doubt that
Evans will be discharged. Menr.time the
culprit is at large without bail. The Gov
ernor, State Treasurer and Auditor General,
whole business it is to look after this fellow
and his plnnlerer. will hardly deceive the
tax-payers of the Commonwealth by such a
flimsy pretrnce of seeking justice as is pre-entt-d
by this sham arrest. Their sffected
zeal for the punishment of the criminal is
shown tco late, is plainly meant merely to
amuse the people until the election be past,
and promises nothing but the discharge of
Evans after a hearing which Is a farce on its
face. Let the tnxpayers'of Pennsylvania
make a note tf these facts. Harrisburg Pa
triot. The Demagogue. The Philadelphia Age
says: Ex Governor Pollock, in a recent
speech, said he was not a Democrat, "be
cause that political organization seemed to
order that no man should worship Gul ac
cording to the dictates of hisown conscience. "
Ex-Gover.ior Pollock belonged to the secret
order of Know Nothings. He was elected
Governor by that proscriptive body, and
acted with them in all things. As a mem
ber of that order, he took a solemn oath to
oppose at the ballot-box all men who wor
ship God according to the dictates of their
own consciences.' if they find the truth in
the Catholic Church. He is still bound by
that oath, willingly, we suppose, and yet he
talks about tho religious prescription of the
Democratic party. Such an attitude is at
once childish and impudent.
Over twelve hundred millions of
dollars have been collected from the people
of the United States by Grant's administra
tion, and of this vast sum Secretary Bout
well claims to have paid but $217,000,000
on the public debt. The remaining nine
hundred and ffty million were absorbed in
running the government. Rather an expeu
s'l ve machine, that !
Fiftt five million's of dollars have been
collected from the people of Pennsylvania by
the radical party during the last ten years,
and of this sum but about seven millions
have been paid on tho State debt. Where
have the other forty-eight millions gone?
Put M Candless in the Auditor General's
office and you will learn something about it.
j Remember that every man who votes the
radical ticket, gives his endorsement to the
present outrageous internal revenue system.
NeahlT 6000 years ago, as near as we
can recollect, a mau by the name of Adam
we have forgotten whether hi- fits! name
was Jonathan or Ichabod was placed in a
very nice truck patch on the banks of the
Euphrates, and allowed to do pretty much
as be pleased, fie was industrious and
econonrcil ; he fooled away no time iu fi-h-ing
or running after the girls, and being
rather good looking and the most extensive
young landholder in the county, he was very
ponlar with sll the vr.ung folks in the
neighborhood. For seme time he did fi st
rare and 1 a I quite a promising future before
him; - but like n any a y ung buck at the
present, day, he finally got to gallanting his
swret-beart about through the orchaid, and
at lot he got into a tenlble iCape that
brought shroe and di-grace uprn his whole
family. lie got proud and wanted better
clothes, and things went on from bad to
worse untit the entire family and he had a
big one too were fallen and depraved. But
suppose that young man had behaved him
self and had continued on an he started out.
and had laid nprt hundred dollars a monthcrer
sinre. (for mind, he tcould liave been living
t,ft.) he would not have money enough to
day to pat the intfrest os our nation

thisle true? Let usse: 6000 years re
duced to mon'hs gives us jus 72 000. Mul
t;b'y this by S'OO per month, and we have
the sum f $7,200,000. as the entire savings
of Mr. Adam, for the term of six thousand
vears, while the interest in our Nati onal
D.-ht anv-nnts to $10,000,000 per month,
or $120,000,000 per year. And yet the
people of the United States have not only
this $210,000,000 interest to pay annually,
but more than $200 000.000 in addition.
Tax-payers, thee are Indisputable facts, and
they have been brought about by the Pudi
cal party. Is it not time hat it should be
dismissed from power? WaynesLurg Mes
senger. Rkpubi.ican Blesfixos. The Republi
can j arty has been in power ten year, and
these are the results :
It established negro suffrage !
It disfranchised thousands of white citi
zens !
It invaded the Federal Constitution !
It usurped the sovereignty of the States !
It ignored the G'tirts of Justice !
It abolished civil law in certain parts of
the United States
It created military departments out of
States!
It created military commissions to try civi
caees !
It suspended the habeas corpus in time of
profound peace !
It denied to white cit'zens the trial by jury
five years after the war ended !
It enfcouraged the negroes in idleness!
It gave over two hundred millions of acres
cf the public lands within the last two years
to corporations f rich capitalists!
It disregarded solemn obligations !
It broke every pledge it ever made to the
people !
It squandered the public treasure !
It refused to prosecute the thieves of pub
lic moneys !
It attempted to corrupt the ballot-box!
It appointed spies in every community !
Nor is this all. The Radical leaders have
been guilty of the most heinous crimes.
Guilty of crimes f r which they would hare
been hung had they committed them ten
years earlier. But those in power at this
time being as deeply implicated In rascality
and villainy as those who are arraigned be
fore them for trial are afraid to prosecute the
violaters of the law. for fear of beiDg ex
posed themselves. Democrats, can you or
will you give your votes to place such men
in position and power ? We hope not.

As ho approached tho earth he was feet
foremost, then spread out horizontally, then
doubled up. turned over, and then straight

Pennsylvania is to be tho battle-ground
of tho Presidential canvass of '72. The
Radicals proclaim it, and feel its significant
truth heoce all their desperate iffirts to
achieve a triumph for their State ticket on
Tuesday next. With their defeat, they sig
nify a ready abandonment of Presidential
success. The Old Keystone i3 emphatically
Democratic. It has been so in the past, and
can bo made so in tho future, if you. Demo
crats, will but put your shoulders to the
wheel, and roll up your united strength at
the polls. Will you do it? A restoration
of tho old, time-honored party, is a boon
worth laboring for. We need Democratic
hands at the helm of both State and Nation
al governments, and we must have it, ere
the country is restored to prosperity and
peace.
