.Auditor PETER DOCOHEUir, SuiainltviUe,
The Trouble or Itao "Tribune."
The editorof the Johnstown Tribune,
with a courage almost heroic, returns in
his last paper to his stereotyped assault
on the County Commissioners for their
refusal to enforce Stmuel Henry's atttmpt
to pass an act of Assembly changing the
mode of collecting taxes in Cambria
county. We will pass by his insinua
tions against the Commissioners, all of
which we have disposed of heretofore,
and will refer once more to the facts con
nected with tin passage ot this act, which,
so far as the member from Cambria is
concerned, is a burlesque on legislation.
lne first section of the bill provides
"That from and after the passage of this
act, it should be the duty of the Com
missioners of Cambria county, in each
suid every year immediately after the as
sessment of taxes for State and County
purposes shall be completed, not laUr
than the Jtrt Monday in April, to cause
their clerk to make out a fair duplicate of
H seated real estate and personal property
assessed, with the taxes thereon, in a
convenient form, and deliver the same to
the Treasurer of said county,' Ac. This
ie tbe first and controlling section of sam
el Henry's tax bill, which is ns frail and
rickety as a specimen of legislation as
was the celebrated house that Jack built.
This bill was introduced into the House
iu March, and it is to be presumed that
its author carefully watched the progress
of his own legislative bantling from its
birth to maturity. That such a law was
In coatemplation, was kept a profound
secret, and the first notice the Commiss
ioners ever had of its passage was on the
9th of April, the day after tbe Governor
iigned it, and eight days after it was to go
into operation by tbe terms of the first
section.
It is not denied that the bill passed the
Senate on the third of April, and yet it
was to take effect on the Jirtt day of that
month, and "not later." Mr. Henry
knew, or ought to hare known, that tbe
first Monday in April was the first day
of the month, and that on that day tbe
bill had not passed tbe Senate, and was
therefore no law at alL Jn other words,
a bill which did not become a law until
it was approved by tbe Governor on the
8th of April was permitted to pass in
such a shape as to require tbe Commiss
ioners to execute it on the Jirst diy of
that month, and "uot later." Could
legislative bungling and stupidity go
further I Why did not Samuel Henry,
when the bill was before the Senate on
tbe third of April, get bis friend Harry
White to amend it, by striking out the
words "not later than the first Monday
in April," and insert "not later than tbe
first Monday in May?' This would
have obviated all difficulty, and would
have given the Commissioners fair and
reasonable notice of what tbey were re
quired to do. Hat this was not done ;
and now tbe Commissioners are fiercely
denounced for not enforcing a law, which,
by its own terms, so far as the year 1872
:s concerned, defeated itself. The opinion
of the Attorney General, upon which the
Tribune places so much reliance, is in
the hand-writing of one of bis deputies
or clerks, and shows conclusively that be
tnows as little about tbe construction of
an act of Assembly as he does about tbe
language of the Choctaw, jfol even a
layman, much less a lawyer, will stultify
himself by saying that an act of the
Legislature approved on tbe 8th of April
could be enforced on the Jlrtt day of the
lame month. The mere statement of the
proposition carries with it its own refuta-
tioo. How much weight oaght to be
given to aa opinion of the present Attor '
ney General on this or any other question
may be estimated frero the fact, that on
the 17th of February, 1871 x be ycrote a
message for John W. Geary 'vetoing a
supplement to the District Court bill, in 1
which be "earnestly recommended the
repeal of the original act ot the ISttVof
April, 1869, establishing the Court, and
then in September, 1871, seven months
afterward, if John W. Geary told the 1
truth in his telegraphic dispatch to Sheriff
Honacker, advised Geary to revive the
District Court by the appointment of
lames Potts as President Judge and
George T. Swank as Cleik. The opin
ion of suck an Attorney General is not
worth anything more, so far as honetty is
concerned, than would be the decision of
a Judge reversing his own former opinion,
upon the same law and facts, in a given
case.
In the case referred te by the Tribune,
in 16 Smith, it is inly necessary to say
that the language of the Act of Assembly
in that case is entirely different from and
bears no analogy to that contained in the
Cambria county tax law. We will now
dismiss this subject finally, and merely
add that if the editor of the Tribune sup
poses be can make any political capital
for Samuel Henry by denouncing the
Commissioners for their course in refer
ence to the tax law, in favor of whose
passage not a single petition was ever
seen in any part of the county, he is at
liberty to iodulge his morbid taste in that
reprehensible way to his heart's content-
usque ad nauseam.
Tbe Difference. -
The marked difference between Charles
It. Buckalew and John F. Hartranft. in
an intellectual point of view, was made
conspicuously, and, to an intelligent
Republican, painfully manifest, in the
speeches which tbey delivered to the con
ventions by which they were nominated.
We have already published Mr. Buck a
lew's admirable addiess, and it need not
be reproduced here. It was able, digni
fied, and patriotic, and showed him to be
an honest man and an enlightened states
man The Philadelphia Frets pronounced
it a patriotic effort, and tne which
carries us back to the early days of the
Republic, when honesty and intelligence
were tbe standards of fitness for office."
When Hartranft was nominated by the
"ring and rowdy ' radical convention at
Harrisburg, the Philadelphia Inquirtr, a
Republican paper, reported his speech as
follows :
Mujor General John F. Hartranft was then
introduced. This Was a signal lor prolonged
applaue and cbeeta As soon as order was
restored be commenced bis remarks by thank
log tbe audience for tbe flattering reception,
and said he expected that he would often meet
his Philadelphia friends during the summer.
He felt, without regard to himself, great
hopes of tbe ultimate result of the republican
ticket.
In 1668 it was necessary for the good of the
country that General Grant should be elected,
snd every man uow who is not ii.ilueuced by
private disappointment or greed of office be
heves that it is not only a necesvity tbat be
should be retained in office, but a military
uecejsity ! He here begged the audiei.ee to
excuse him from any lurther remarks, and
bowing, returned to bis seat on the stage.
This impromptu burst of eloquence
reminds one of the lofty flights John W.
Geary, our 'bullet-riddled" Governor, has
sometimes reached when be puts on his
highest airs of oratory and does his level
best to tickle the ears of the groundlings.
Geary and Hartranft ! "Arc tdctambo I '
The offensive and disgusting part of this
puerile address is the declaration made by
John F. Hartranft, seven years after the
close of the rebellion, tbat Grant should
be retained in office as "a military
necessity.' Where is the honest and in
telligent Republican in the State who will
endorse such an infamous pretense? Hart-
ranft's own political friends in Congress
have since given it tho lie by passing, in
obedience to the thundering demand of
the Cincinnati Convention, an amnesty
bill, partial in its operation, but still a
great advance in that direction. It does
not therefore become John F. Hartranft,
who superintended all the preliminary
preparations for the military murder of
Mrs. Surratt, now admitted to have been
an innocent woman, to attempt to revive
and perpetuate in all their intense bitter
ness tbe fierce animosities and burnino
hatreds engendered between the North and
the South by the civil war, by making tbe
senseless and demagogical assertion that
tbe re-election of Grant is a "military ne
cessity." Military necessity is and always was
the plea of tyrants, and in all ages has
been the pretext for the commission of
the most flagrant assaults upon civil
liberty. In this country, aad under
radical role, it is nothing more nor less
than Grantism. It means the suspension
of the writ of habeas corpus and bayonet
rule in the South and all over tbe country
it means oppression, and is the sum of
all political villainies. The people will
spurn it, and neither Hartranft nor Grant
can ever thus make slaves either of the
people 4f this State, or of the Union.

General A 15. McCAUsTJst.of Venan
go county, was a candidate before the
Heading convention for the nomination
for Governor. He is a gentleman of
high character and acknowledged ability,
and although his name in connection wkb
the nomination had only been mentioned
a short time before the meeting of the
convention, he received a highly fluttering
support from his own section of the State.
After the nomination of Mr. lluckalew, a
ratification meeting was held at Titus
ville, in the oil regions, fit which Gen.
McCalmont delivered as able a speech as
we have read for a long time. He dis
posed of the radical twaddle about Grant
belonging to the working class, in the
following neat and summary manner:
I confess it would have been au unpardon
able political dodjc,e to Lave got p campaign
pictures representing Asa racker with a lamp
stuck in the iroul of hi cap picking tor au
lUraoiie in a damp mine ; and, if your speaker
had beeu successful in obtaining the uotniua
tion, it would have been rather a shai p prac
tice to lepreseut him covered wiib oil aud third
sand, in the centre of tbe derrick, handling a
large cable with tbe motto over his bead,
'Heboid the sou of toil."
Aud yet my friends, is It any less a fraud to

country te rally in bis support T
The New Jersey Lemocratic State
Convention met at Trenton on last Wed
nesday, and elected delegates to the Balti
more Convention. They tire uninstructed,
but are known to be in favor of Greeley
and Brown. On the same day, the Geor
gia State Convention elected Greeley dcN
egates to Baltimore. The same thing
was done by the Mississippi Convention
on the Mme day. On that day, also, the
Democratic aud Liberal Republican Con.
ventions of Illinois met at Springfield.
The same State ticket, consisting of Re
publicans and Democrats, was adopted
by both conventions. Tbe candidate for
Governor is Gustavus A. Koerner, Re
publican, and for Lieutenant Governor,
Gen. Charles Black, Democrat. Both
conventions endorsed tbe Cincinnati ticket.
The following dispatch was received by
these two conventions from the Mississip
pi Convention, and an appropriate answer
returned :
"JstCEsoN, Miss., June 20. To the Presi
dents Democratic and Liberal Conventions:

Anotiikr of Grant's most remarkable
and disgraceful appointments was made
on the occasion of bis recent flying visit
from Lon Branch to Washington. A
short time before the adjournment cf
Congress, a carpet-bagger from Connecti
cut, named Clarke, who Lad obtained a
seat in tbat body from one of tbe Texas
districts under a false and fraudulent
certificate from the radical Governor of
the State, was unanimously expelled from
his seat in the House on a unanimous
report by the Committee on Elect ion.
tbat he held it by the perpetration of tbe
grossest and most palpable frauds. Yet
in the face of this verdict of the House ot
Representatives, and in violation of
Grant s boasted civil service reform, the
present postmaster (McKeel is sum ma
rily removed on tbe charge of favoring
the election of Horace Greeley, and a
dishonored Congressman, reeking with the
most infamous fraud on tbe ballot box, is
appointed to supply his place. Such is
Grantism, pure and unalloyed. -
Tue following article is from the Grand
Rapid Daily Press, published in Michigan
on the 24ih. It is Republican authority,
and comes from one of the leading radical
papers in that State :
We have important intelligence from tbe
oia w ar uoveruor oi At ictigan, Hon. Austin
tiair. it is tbat be win not iu anv event
support Graa, and tbat if Greeley is endorsed
at Baltimore he will uke tbe stump foe Gree
ley. 1 be uoveruor does not conceal bis sen
timents. He says that tbe stampede trom
Grant to Greeley will not be bv one or tno,
but by platoons. He thinks Michigan will go
for Greeley, if a cordial union is effected be
tween the oppouents of Grant.
We hare direct and reliable information
from Senator Sumner, and important tacts
respecting bis position. He is now preparing
a speech upon the finances of tbe countrv, aud
the fiuai.cial administration ot President
Grant. It will astonish tbe American people
wben delivered. Should Greeley be nominated
at Baltimore the Senator ia prepared to speak
to his countrjmen in favor of the election of
Greeley to the Presidency.
The Harrisburg Patriot says a letter
has been received in that city from Titian
J. Coffey, Secretary cf Legation to Gov.
Curtin, Minister to Russia, in which he
states that he will return te this country
in July, and that he will take the stump
in favor of the election of Greeley and
Brown. Gov. Curtin is coming home
about the same time, and it is said that
be will do likewise.

At the Orange Street Meeting House
yesterday there was a Quaker wedding in the
presence oi a large assemblage. Tbe simpl
ana oeautiiui ceremony oi f riends is not
generally known. It consists ia the attend
ance of tbe bride and groom at a regualr
meeting for worship. After sitting in silence
a short time they rise and take each other by
the hand and declare that. "In presence of
the Lord and those assembled, they take
each other to be husbaoJ and wife, promis
ing, with Divine assistance, to be loving and
faithful to each other until death separates
tbsm." A certificste of the fact is then read
before the congregation assembled, which is
signed by the contracting parties and by
those present as witnesses. rhUa Press.
A public singer lately died in Florence,
Italy, and was buried with little display and
brief notice by the newspapers whose for
tune, nevertheless, had been rather remark
able. Some twenty years ngo a music mas
ter was leaning over the parapets of one of
the Florence bridges, and beaid. far down
the shallow stream, a peasant sing at the
very humble work of dredging for fine grit,
or sand. He was so struck that he called
the singer to him. and took him home to
educate. He could not write er read, and
all tne operas had to be read to him, but
with tbe master's care he was soon singing
ic the principal theatres of Italy, and afters
wards Europe.- Such was Andrea Mazzanti.
the famous baratooe, wbo baa just ended bis
days on the banks of his native Aroo.
The Japanese young girls who were
sent te this conntry to be educated are "now
in Washington, and will there for the pres
ent remain. Tbey learn quickly, are very
studious, obedient and tractable, and act a
very good example of deportment to tbe
Washington young ladies. They are quiet,
self possessed in their manners, and impress
strangers favorably with tbeir ladylike ways
and quick perception. The eldest carries on
conversation in English very well ; but she
thinks there are a great many Charlies ia
this country, and that we talk very fast.
They not only have become accustomed to
the American style of dress, but like it.
though they de make each little blunders
as wearing things upside down and inside
out.
A Periloun Position

animals. He was at Portage City, Miuh., a i
few days ago, exhibiting his "lion-taming''
abilities in a circus. Oue of his cages con
tained three partially tamed brutes, two
ionestes and a lion. lie bad foUBd, con
trary o usual experience, tbat the male lion
Was tbe most crafty of tbe three, ana on
two occasions before the one at Portage
City he had detected this bue fellow io the
act of sneaking up to seize bia leg. During
tbe afternoen exhibition at Portage City tbe
tamer was going through his Usual perform
ance in this cage, with two men stationed
outside with iron rods between tbe bars oi
the cage, to assist, if ntcessary. iu warding
eff attack. The lion had somewhat puzzled
him, manifesting a d iff. rent nature from
that of any with which he bad dealt, and
for that reason he kept his eye apoo him J
but at one point he was obliged to turn
ud face the two lionesses as they passed
him. leaving the lion, in the meantime, to
be watched by tbe attendants But the at
tendants failed to see th monster sneak
along tbe floor. The audience were watch
ing more closely, the danger was seen, and
cry of alarm was raised i but it Was too
late, the monster's jaws had closed oh the
calf of Lengel'a right leg. the teeth met. aud
Lengel fell to the floor of tbe cage. His
club flew from his band as be fell, and Was
beyond bia reach ; the moment was one of
terrible suspense ; the.spectators were terri
fied, and the two attendants paralyzed at
the rw ult f their carelessness. But Len
gel'a presence of mind did not desert him.
the lion, even in bis race, could not forget
tbe power of his fallen antagonist, and
tokened his bold for a moment, and before
the lioness could gather for an attack the
tamer was on his feet, seized his whip, and
attacked his foe, lashing him into the corner.
Leaving the cage. Leugel walked to his
dressing-box across the ring, where be sank
taint t urn the loss of blood. It was f und
that no bones were broken, but tbe wounds
were so large and deep that tbe surgeon
who dressed tbem probed them with his
fiocer and failed to touch the end.
Lengel has been five times before bitten
by his petsy and shows a scarred body ; but
h every Case before his wounds have been
from lionesses. This, he thinks, is tbe mo
ood case in which he has been inteotionallv
bitten, the other f-ur being accidents, wben

FEMALE DISEjkSES
At the present day it is extremely rare to
fiud a female who is entirely free from some
one or other of tbe diseases peculiar to her
aX. Go where VOU will, on thu mountain
top or in the valley, io the hamlet r in tbe
city, among tbe rich or the lowly, there will
be fuuod very lew females wbo are not
laboring trndvr physical afS.ctioo peculiar to
womanhood.-
The cause of this we will not undertake
to explain here. The nu-merou applications
made to us for relief duiing our tweoty
years practice, have long since induced us
to make especial study and invtstigation of
these diseases, and their best method of
cure. Tbey are maladies ef a peculiar
character, and as a general thing they re
quire a method of treatment entirely unlike
that adopted for those common to both sexes.
Ia fact, the very frequency and extent of
female diseases in our midst, is piod evi
deuce that tbe "common treatment" ha not
met with success, and shows that some more
efficient course should be adopted.
We were long since convinced that local
remedies and external appliaoces, bandages.
Sec, were mere palliatives for the time, aud
of no permanent value whatever, but oft
times injurious ; and tbat an efficient course
of medicatioo was the only hope of cure.
For the benefit of those who mav be nfilxt

eu who Dy uiKease peculiar to the sex,
whether from a slight cold, followed by a
derangement and irregularity of the general
system, wrich msny times produces cough,
expectoration, tightness of cheat, difficult
breathing, palpitation, &c, with a I tbe
symptoms of "going into a decline," or from
any of tbe very many other causes which
produce such terriblesiiQVring among women
as to make lite a burden to tbem. we would
say. that our remed.es are selected and pre-
pareu with a special view towards tl.ee
ends, and will give relief io all these kiuds
or cases, without needless exposure to indeli
ca'.e examinations, or wearing of disagreea
ble instruments or cumbrous appliance.
We have cured hundreds yes. thousands
or rases by medical treatment alone,
hundreds of whom we have never seen, but
who only obtained their medicines after
having sent to us their cases for examination.
Our remedies io these diseases are mild but
effectual, and are such as we have fouud out
to act in cou fortuity with the laws of nature
in regulating health ; and Trom the success
which has almost invariably crowned our
efforts in these cases, we can promise, and do
promise, a speedy cure in every rae where
a reasonable hope can be entertained.
For the benfit of those living at a diss
tance laboring under Chronic Affections, and
unable to attend in person, we would say :
by sending us a vial of rin for examination,
the necessary medicines can be sent them by
express. L. Oi dshue. M D.

OIBIOIS DISEASES.
For years, we might almost say for cen
turies, consumption has been classed among
the diseases of doubtful cure, consequently,
people wben they have supposed it to exist,
have abandoned all hope of staying its pro
gress, and have allowed its victims to suffer
oc until death gathers them into its vortex.
Not so now. Dr. Keyser, with Da. KtT
ssa's Luko Cubb. has established the truth,
that consumption, like any othtr disease!
baa iu remedy. Not one or two sporadic
cases, that perhaps would have recovered
under the hand of nature alone, but dozens
and scores of unhealthy people have been
rescued from the grasp of this fell destroyer
of tbe human family, snd live to bless Da
Retseb's Lung Cukb to their latest breath.
So much is this the case that there is hardly
a family on whose mantel piece may not be
seen the famous bottle bearing this inscrip
tion : -Da. Ketseb'b Lunq Cuaa. oa
Pulmokabt Restobative," a name signifi
cant enough, and before the contents of
which incipient pulmonary maladies vanish
like noxious mists before the morning sun.
Da. Ketser's Luko Coax is a heal.h giving
elixir, whfch none who ever used it can
deem of dubious value. It can be had at
