Imitating the bel ligerent Irishman who, when his in experienced son was about starting for Donneybrook Fair, said to him : "Whenever you see a head, my boy, hit it," this verdant radical ollicc-seek-er, whenever he saw a Democrat, vent for him. No one escaped his untir ing and ceaseless solicitations, and scores of Democrats who pro ha Mi never knew of his existence before, discovered, under compulsion, that he had a local habitation and a name. He supplemented his personal appeals with unknown quantities of lager beer, and Democrats were importuned to in dulge in that Teutonic beverage with out limit and without price. When it is considered that this same JOaI l.epublican would at anv timei walk three miles "in thunder, lisrhtninf and in rain" to cast his vote against a Democrat, his present love for that class of men is eminently disjnistinjr and is entirely too thin to wash. If he is green enough now to suppose that he can seduce Democrats to vote for him by rushing them into a lager beer saloon, he -will be a much wiser and sadder man on the. night of the second Tuesday of next October. The Democrats of this county know how to distinguish between a friend and a bitter eiiv-my, and " they intend teach ing this fuse-, irrepressible radical a lesson in politics which he will long remember, and which, it is to be hoped, will curb his political aspira tions for all time to come. Even if it were possible for him to be elected, he could not and would not attend to the duties of the office, as his princi pal business is in MeKean county, and not in Cambria, Heis simply run ning in the interest of and for the ben efit of another man, and if elected that other will act as Treasurer. He is therefore seeking the oflice and asking Democrats to vote for him under the plainest of false pretenses. The Dem ocratic party has a candidate of its own, who is entirely competent to dis charge the duties of the Treasurer's Itadical hypocrisy never assumed so shameless a front as' when in its conventions, both State and county, it undertakes to adopt resolutions de nouncing Congress for passing the back-pa' bill, and at the same time avoids any allusion to Grant's agency in the matter. Although he was the very head , and front of the swindle, and is more responsible for it tluvn the j majority of Congress who xoterHor it, i vet no radical convention has arraigned j him having signed the bill, thereby ! giving to it all the force' and validity ; of a law ; but has sought to fcfii ft the j whole responsibility from hts 'shoul- ders to those of the members who sus tained it by their votes. Public at tention cannot be diverted from the man who is in fact wholly responsible j by a subterfuge so palpably transpa rent. A President who has the power to nullify any obnoxious bill which Congress may pass, by interposing his eeto? but refuses to exercise it, must bear whatever odium justly at taches to it, and cannot by any politi cal chicanery escape or avoid it. Com mon sense vindicates the justice of the rule and all former practice has been in strict accordance with it. The late radical convention of this county at tempted this same silly dodge, by first passing a resolution endorsing G rant's administration and then adopting the following: Jlesolred, That we condemn the action of those members of Congress who were in any way identified with the Credit Mobil ior question, or what is ienerally known t as the '-Salary Grab," and that we believe it would be for the jood of the country if not one of those thus identified should ever jiriin bo placed in a xsition of honor or trust in the Goveniniciit. It will be seen from this resolution that the radicals of Cambria county condemn the members of Congress "wJio were in any tray identified" with the "Salary Grab," but have not one word of censure for Grant, whose sig nature to the bill, as Gen Garfield told hi radical constituents, made it a law. As a bill by its mere passage through Congress does not become a law, but only becomes so when approved by the President, the whole responsibility for the outrage rests on Grant, and on him alone. We have just one plain question to ask the radicals of Cam bria count-. If the- agree with their convention in condemning the mem bers of Congress "who were in any way identified with the salary grab," how can they excuse or palliate ("rant's mercenary conduct, who, by signing the bill, tiicreased his own salary to the extent of one hundred thousand dollar in four years, and thus liecnme absolutely "identified" with the fraud in all the depths of its infamy ? With out '.s "action" in the premises and without lux signature, not a single member of Congress would ever have been enabled to jfotH one farthing of the plunder.

MORE STARTLING REVELATIONS HORRI BLE CONDITION OK THE lNMATES.f Tho jpeople of Delaware county, in this State, have been much excited of late oyer celSLain allegations concerning the condition f their insane ixor. and have held an indignation meeting at which the authors of the reports were severely censured and an attempt made to whitewash the ottieers of the institution. The Kit ning Bulletin, however, goes back at them and reveals a terribly filty state of affairs. It says: The" state of things in the insane de partment of the Delaware County House of Employment, all existed, precisely aa we are about to state them, within tho last seven months.

Yours respectfully, P. M. HrrcHiNsoN. Senor Castelar is now President of Spain, with unusual powers lodged in his hands. He can enlarge the army, purchase rifles and munitions of war, and raise funds for earn ing on a vigorous campaign against the enemies of the Republic. Nothing is now needed, sa3's the Philadelphia Aye, but vigorous co-operation on the part of the people ot" Spain to free that country from the Cai lists and other disturbers of the peace. That balloon ascensions ot the olden time will be read with no little interest: Tho desiro to navigate the atmosphere is ne new ambition. Five centuries ago old ltoger Eacou said "we were walking about at ihe bottom of a sea of air, whose density grew less as we ascended higher; and that if we could reach the summit of this sea, w might float bodies that were still lighter on its surface." The old friar was partly light and partly wrong, for the occupants of vessels llating on that wean would have to be differently constituted than are men possibly Lot-he's A'esjter tilias Homines the beings he said Sir John Hcrschell diad discovered by means of that vast telescope, which he had in t at the Cape of Good Hope, (but which ex isted only in Loche's fervent imagination, whence it was transferred to the columns of Moses Y. Beach's Y. Sun.) might work such ships. In the seventeenth cen tury an Italian named Francis Lana sug gested making globes which would float in mid-air, but it was reserved for tho middle of the eighteenth century, alout a hundred aud twenty years ago, for the full realization of ISacon's aud Lana's ideas. Stephen Montgolfier, a paper maker in Paris, caught 'iho idea from seeing what he had seen every day during all his life, and what every man, woman and child had seen since Tubal Cain kindled his first lire in which to work his brass and iron he saw that smoke as cended through the atmosphere, and at once tho idea of a ba?loon entered his mind. In conjunction with his brother Joseph he constructed a large balloon of paper which he inflated with hot air from a lire made of cut straw. It of course rose up and lloated through the air. In 1782 and also in the following year an as cension, was eiloetid, the parties carrying ! beings brought down wiin incrn a orazier containing a cnarcoal fire which they fed with cut f-traw; they crossed tho city of Paris and alighted in safety.

One man cannot carry the whole interests of Spain on his shoulders or in his brain. He must have assistants bold, fearless, patriotic assistants. They must come unasked to his side, and throw into the popular scale their characters, purses and swords. When this is done mutters will assume a different aspect in Spain. Castellar is a true, unselfish man. lie evidently has a proper comprehension of what is needed to make the Republic of Spain a success. The Cortes have given him power to act, and now if the patriotic masses will rally to his sup port a brighter day will assuredly dawn upon the people of Spain. A Financial ATonher. The pay ment of the indemnity fund by France is the most remarkable financial event the world ever witnessed. AVhen it is remembered that the war iudemnity was five billion francs, or a billion of dollars, and that the interest, the re- Aiistrian army. Napoleon had one with him in Egypt. Iu 1804 Guy Lussac and Uiot, two Frenchmen of science, lust used the balloon for scientific purposes; carry ing with them a baromoter and ther mometer, as well as a voltic and electric battery, and also living creatures of va rious sorts; at 8.0U0 foct they liberated a bee, which sailed off happily; at 11,0)0 feet a bird was set oil"; like Noah's dove it returned to the vessel, but subsequently llew down perpendicidaily towards the earth. They reached the height of IS, 000 feet above the sea level and descended in safetj In IS52 scientific researches were prosecuted in England by means of the same instrumentality. The first balloon ever sent up in this country was by the Frenchmau, 1'lan chard, who made an ascent from Phila delphia in 1T9G. Gillie, Robertson, and Duratit, were also celelrated, but none have ever pursued the investigation of navigating the air as persistingly as Wise. was once invited to place his legs un der Presidential mahogany.

The appointments were promptly made, and Mosby was thence forth regarded as the right bower of Urantism in the Old Dominion. Xow, however, it is announced that Mosby, instead of supporting Colonel Hughes, Grant's candidate for Governor of cor poration. The radical party in the State emerged from the campaign sad ly demoralized, its leaders and oinVe seekers, with the exception of Gov.

The Independent, published at Chester, Delaware county, says: A few days since we were shown au an cient Hour ladle, owned by Mr George II.

It was originally made out of a single piece of wood a rough oak knot and must have been at first extremely heavy for such ft domestic utensil, but now it is almost as light as cork, being perforated in every direction by worm holes.

It . was contemporaneous with the latter days of William Pcnn, and the hosts of Indians who swarmed over JCastern Pennsylvania at that period, and if it had a voice could tell many a strange and thrilling tale of the past. This ladle has always been in the possession of the Pigby family, the ancestors of the present proprietor having taken an active part in the Revolutionary war. It would be a prominent and attractive curiosity iu the forthcoming Ceutennial Celebration in 1870. Its safo preservation requires that it should be placed in a wooden box or a glass case made expressly for its reception and this should be done without delay. A tea-kettle of very antique pattern, was also exhibited, which was over one hun dred years old, and which has evidently j seer. gxi service m its day and genera ! tion. It was made before the commence- nient of the Revolution, and hence is a j relic of no ordinary interest.

Of the fifty-nine companies thirty-two are New York organizations, the remainder beloncrinc to other States.

In March, another visit was paid to the institution by several gentlemen, in a body. Only one portion of the building was visited, which is supposed to be de voted exclusively to women. In one cell was a young woman, tho one already re ferred to.. Her cell was without any furniture whatever; her bed consisted of one blanket; her clothing, a ragged chemise, open to her waist, and one scauty skirt, and a pair of shoes. She was indescribably unclean, and alive with vermin. Her cell reeked icilh a sieteninn odor, the result of a total absence of all conveniences for cleanliness. She shiv ered with cold wlule in the presence of her visitors, the thermometer standing at the time several degrees below the freezing point. SOMETHING STIT.T, WORSE. Opposite to tha cell which we have very faintly described was another. The short day had already faded into dusk, and as the light was thrown through the little aperture in the door, it fell upon two women, both of whom weic absolutely iritJiout a tingle garment to rarer tlu-m. One of the poor creatures sat crouching in the corner, with a small blanket drawn across her shoulders, while the other was crawling on all-fours on the lloor, without cvtm this poor apology for any remnant of human decency! There was not a particle of furniture in the cell, and there, on this wintry March night, in an atmosphere which the witnesses declare to hare been utterly horrible, were these two human tar bt-low tlic level of our domestic brutes. Tins is what Judge Hinksou and Mr. V.'altcr call "a credit and an honor to Delaware county.' This is the '"full and clear appre hension of tho Directors' duties."

The attendant, with some confu sion, explained that he must have been brought in while he was away." VIATATED ATMOSrHERE. Judge Hinksou and his friends have de clared that not only was there no vitiated atmosphere in this alms-house, but "there never has been."

The display gives fruitful promise that it will be one of the very best ever held under the auspices of the Society. The entries are free to all the world, and the Society has wisely determined that the books of entries shall close a week before tho open ing, that a complete arrangement may be made of tho entries offered for prizes. The time is at that period in which clear, good weather may almost be counted a certainty. The premiums upon inauy ar ticles have been considerably increased, and the list much enlarged. The arrange ments for meetings each evening of tho fair are a new and excellent feature. Iu these meetings farmers may learn from one another, to the benefit of the economi cal interests which tho Society is so anx ious to foster. A very large display of im proved farm stock will le on exhibition of fine horses and s-amps of all tho best breeds of horned cattle while the turn out in such a hive of industry as trie, of manufactured articles useful as machinery, or as aids to the farmer, is certaiu to be worthy of attention. So many assurances in these respects have been given that we feel confident in stating that the display in these departments will be eutirely satis factory.
