M CipyBEESlB. EBENSOURC, PA., Friday Morning, - - Sept. 2 6 1S73. The Johnstown Tricnir.e of Monday last, in its remarks on the letter of Mr. Seanlan, states, that, although that gentleman i.s w-in fa vnr of repealing the Local Option law. lie rtel it at the last Sprint? election in this coun ty. We are authorized by Mr. Iranian In nay thai there s not one word of truth in the statement made by the Tribune that he not only voted nyninft the law, but exerted all his iiilhienee in inducing others to oppose it. "Will the Tribune now ret nu t its calmvmy against Mr. Seanlan, or will it adhere to the old saying, that "a lie, if per sisted in, is Wo will see. as good as the truth' Tiik Johnstown I'viee of last Satur- ' da v. in a lonir article 0:1 the approach- i ing county election, full of wise saws and modern instances, advises John T. Harris, the radical candidate for Sheriff, to withdraw from the canvass "and save himself for a future, .more propitious opportunity." We suppose this is what it calls backing its friends, for which the chief of police of Johi5i town will consider himself highly llat lered. Why is Harris specially se lect ed as a lit victim to be offered up on the altar of . radicalism ? Are his chances of election any more gloomy than those of the rest of his radical colleagues on the same ticket? A common political grave is yawning to receive them all. Wc hope that liar- , u ill .ti, i; and that a lie and the lis other cainliilates on the ticket have been lovely in their political lives, so in their political death they will not consent to be separated. -- It is a matter of profound gratifica tion to know that the Democratic Ex- j ccutive Committee of Philadelphia have repudiated the legislative preten sions of the corrupt and infamous Sain Josephs. Roth he and David Sullivan claimed to have been regular 1' nomi nated, iu the third legislative district. The whole question was referred to the Cit- Executive Committee, and that bod y, after having heard the parties, their proofs and allegations, have de cided that David Sullivan and not Samuel Josephs was fairly nominated. Josephs refuses to submit to the ac tion of the committee and has appealed to the radicals in the district to sus tain him. They did that last year by withdrawing their own candidate (Por ter) and voting for Josephs, in order to prevent the election of an independ ent democratic candidate. They have now a candidate of their own, and it remains to be seen whether they will desert him and comply with Josephs' impudent demand. It has licen a matter of deep surprise to the democracy of the State how the democrats of his district could consent year after year to be dishonored at 1 Iarri.burg by such a graceless scoun drel as Sam .Josephs. It has always lvon his boast that he. could not le defeated in hisdistriet, and now is the time to determine that question. Mr. Sullivan is represented to be an hon orable man and entirely competent, and if the democrats of the district have any personal pride they w ill elect him, and thus rid themselves of as cor rupt a tool of the ring as ever disgraced a seat iu the legislature. It will be remembered that, some time last April, Captain Tyson and a number of the crew of the Polaris, who had become separated from that vessel in the Arctic regions after the death of Captain Hall, and had managed to subsist on a floe or field of ice floating southward for nearly six months, were rescued on the coat of Labrador aud brought to Washington: The govern- j ... ..:.... l- . i t iii. ! lnent immediatt Iv distat bed two ves- 1 sels, the Juniata and Tiirrcss, to search ' after those who had been left on the Polaiis at the time of the separation.

All such projects are useless and chi merical, and any glory that may be achieved is sure to he purchased at an immens. cost and at a criminal .sacri fice of human life. II EX 11 vTcAXLA A S LETTISH. Below will be found a letter ad dressed by Henry Seanlan, Esq., dem ocratic candidate for Assembly, to Mr. Charles Vowinlccl, of Johnstown, on the question of a repeal of the Local . Opton law, and also in reference to j amending the Act for the collection of taxes in this county. It will be seen that Mr. Seanlan meets the question of the repeal of the Local Option law squarely and explicitly, and without the use of any red tape. i The position of the democratic party on what are known as prohibitory laws is plain and easil- stated. It denies, for various reasons not necessary here to mention, the right of the legislature, ' w hether by a majority, a two-thirds, ' or a three-fourths vote, to dictate to 'the people what thej' shall eat, what they shall drink, or what they shall ! wear. Hence it may be assumed as I undoubted truth, that if the democra ' cy had the Executive of the State and ' a majority in each branch of the legis lature, neither a Local Option law nor 1 any kindred measure would now be I found oil the .statute book. A bill i may bo oflered at the next session lor the reical of the law, but with a radi- cal (iovernorand a radical legislature it will fail of success. It is a species ! of paternal legislation which has be come a specialty with the radical par ty a business which it will never relinquish until the people deprive it of all political power Prohibitorv liquor laws, wherever they have been tried, have resulted in disastrous fail ure. Massachusetts has experimented w ith them in all their depths and all their shoals, and her legislation has utterly failed to accomplish the iu tended purpose. Hon. Wm. (Jaston, recently nominated as the democratic candidate for Governor of that State, in his letter of acceptance, uses the fol lowing emphatic language in reference to the practical operation of prohibit ory legislation in that strong republi can commonwealth: "An experience of twenty years under what are known as the prohibitory laws has proved that they cannot accomplish the great and beneficent purposes for which thcy were enacted. They have not diminish ed the evils which they were designed to destroy, but they have brought with them, or with the attempts to enforce them, a train of attendant evils which have disgraced the administration of justice and have tended to corrupt tho public morals." That the Local Option law of this State has signally failed to accomplish the purposes of its most earnest advo cates in counties where it exists, seems to be conceded. It will run its brief race, and will then give way to some new and untried experiment by the arty now in lower. The iews of Mr. Seanlan as to a desired amendment to the present tax law, which he specifics, w ill meet with general concurrence. The proposed change would not affect the general fetalis oT tie Ihw it.st.lt. Jiero Air. Scanlan's letter : Cai:oi.i.tow x, Sept. 15, 1873.

Yery Truly Yours, IIknky Scani.ax. Tij Chart. Vairiuke-l, Jot, Hslotc n . JOUX J. TllOJIAS. We regret that this gentleman has Been fit to go over to the encruy not on account of any injury he can do the Democratic ticket, but because of the injur' it must do himself with all right thinking men of both parties. 1st. When a candidate presents his name before a nominating convention he ia bound, if he has honor, to sup bv that i L . port the candidates chosen convention. 2d. Mr. Thomas has held office con- I ferred on him by the Democratic par ty, and if he had (jratitude, he would support the nominees of that party. 3d. He has abused with the utmost bitterness every Democrat that ever voted for Sam. Henry, or any other liadical ; therefore, if he had contixten- cy, he would never desert the Denio- 1 ,N..C-l-lll,l Yet, if actions speak louder than words, and we are fain to believe thej do,.Mr. Thomas has neither honor, gratitude or consistency, and he gives the lie to Ins entire past life when he avows his determination to vote the ticket presented by a party he has uni formly abused more than any other man in Cambria county. As to Mr. Thomas' boast that he will "make every relative he lias vote the Radical ticket," we can only say that his worthy lather, who was natu- i-Mlized into the Democratic iiartv. and j his intelligent and respected brothers, brothers-in-law, and other kindred, are each and every one as competent judges of their political duty as he is, and we have no fears but what the- will per form it honestly. His further assertion that many of his former friends are with him in his change is simply untrue. He has not and cannot control a single Democrat in Ebensburg or vicinity, where he had three out of the wen delegates who supported him in the late county con vention, to vote against the ticket. In thus alluding to the defection and antecedents of Mr. Thomas, who has thrown off the truthfulness of the Dem ocrat and adopted the falsehood of the liadical, we speak not in anger but in sorrow ; and, in parting company with him, pledge ourselves that, whatever he does or says in the future, he will never receive the abuse from Demo crats that lie has received from and heretofore bestowed upon his new found friends and political associates. In the meantime, however, it is a com mon sentiment, very freely expressed, that if Radicalism can manage to get along with Mr. Thomas, the Demo cratic party will do its "level best" to get along without him the "EiiExsnrna hixg.' For the last four or five years the Radical journals of this county have indulged in unceasing abuse of the "Ebensburg Ring," but since the Dem- ociatic nominations they have not said "ring" once a fact which may be ac- i. - counted for by still another fact, and that is that Sam. Henry, only a few days ago, put himself in charge of the chief of the "Ebensburg Ring," in the vain hope that his cause would thereby Tie aided among the Germans in Johns town. John D. Thomas, the Ring master, is now Sam. Henry's "right bower," and that might not be the case had the old and exploded falsehoods about the "Elionshurg Ring" been re hashed aud reiterated. All which show s the sincerity of the Radicals in their long-continued abuse of the "Eb ensburg Ring." AVhcn they can use the "Ring," or any part thereof, they swallow it with a gusto, Poor House and all. Only last week the I feral l bad an article againt the Poor Directors for permitting lime to be lost on the farm, but it forgot to say that this occurred during the reign of John D. Thomas, now the liosom friend and noisy sup porter of Sam. Henry. IT the county was wronged in this particular, John D. Thomas permitted the wrong to be done. Now Sam. Henry : endorses John D. Thomas, and John D. Thomas endorses Sam. Henry. Par nobile f rat rum. ' Xo one complains of the present Poor House officials. The excellent condition of that institution under its present efficient" steward, is praised by all ; and the Tribune,1 the ablest and fairest Radical paper in the county, speaks in the highest terms of its man agement, and only complains that the Directors are too saving of the county funds. In conclusion, we do not assert that an- of the charges which have been made by the present friends of John D. Thomas, are true. On the contra ry, we deny them as emphatically now as when they were first made; but in taking him and making him tlicir lead er, they must take him subject to the burden they themselves have placed upon him. Dox T lorget to register ou or be fore Sattudav, Oct. fth. I T1IA T JJE EA JL CA Tl OX, On the ICtli day of April last, says tho li Port, wo nublished a Meecli which had been delivered by Mr. Orvis, of Centre county, in tho House of Represent atives at llariisburg on the fc'th of that month, in which he charged plainly and ilistinctlv and ouoted from the olhcial records of the State to prove it that by some moans the very large sum of two mil lions, six hundred and seventy-four thou sand, one hundred and five dollars had 1,1 .eared from tho State Treasury. Tsotwitlistanmng tins piaiu uu uiiec-i charge of fraud, uttered upon the llooi of the Legislatun by one of the members of that body, no man arose to reply. .Not- withstanding our publication ot tne speecn iu full iu these columus within a wceK after it was delivered, no one of the squad of liadical papers in this city dared to meet the very grave question involved, nntit tho 11th day of this present niouth, more than five months after tho speech had been made, when the Coiumerriul owned by Robert W. Mackey, the State Treasurer, and by JMssell En ett, the late Clerk of the ijtaie Senate ami the chronic Chairman of the Radical tate Committee at last un dertook to reply. Wo cared little to an Bwer the Commercial article, contenting ourselves with a nieitj notice of its publica tion., aud expressing a very natural sur prise that such a labor of love had been so long delayed. We observe, however, that the llarrisbnrg Patriot lias taken the pains to cviscerato Mr. Mackey's defense, and . ..w.1, il.il ts-v 0 ei.'tirtiici 1 1 f" flint" skmfu, operation. Those of our readers who took the pains to go through Mr. Orvis" speech w ill doubt- less remember that ins figures aro all ot them taken from official documents made up by the Republican ofhcials at llarris burg; from the Messages of fJovernor Cur tin and Governor (Jeary; from the reports ot the several State Treasurers, from Au ditor General llartranft's Rejiorts, and from the proceedings of tho Commission ers of the Sinking fund irrefragable evi dence w hen it rises up in judgment against the very men who made it. Premising that Mackey's defense, in stead of taking up Orris' figures, derived as they are from official data sent to the Legislature by himself and his Republican associates in office, re-states the account in a maimer which creates tho necesuy im- iuesfcioii that he has drawn largely upon lis imagination for his facts, wc proceed to state the principal points iu tho article in the Patriot. Commencing by a statement of some im portance, that in a review of the evil deeds of the last Legislature tho Commercial placed the name of Mr. Orvis at the head of the list of the few members of the 1 louse who had labored with industry and per severance against vicious legislation a point well taken, and which proves that its recent attack upon that gentleman is tho mere spleen of tho unscrupulous politician it refers to the fact that all of Mr. Orvis" figures and statements are ignored but the last one; which singularly enough hapiens to be the one which he gave to show what troidd hate been the result of an honest ad ministration of tho Treasury, but which was not actually correct because of the de falcation in question. The figures and tabular statements by which the existence of the robbery was clearly established boing carefully ignored by the State Treas urer and Clerk of the Senat, and by any clerical assistants they may control in get ting up satisfactory statements. The fig ures carefully copied from Gov. Geary's message they boldly pronouuee a falsifica tion, the amount of overdue loans is stated as a sup os it ion, and the bonds sold arc spoken of as "estimated" in regard to their amount. Here is an admission from headquarters- that the Governor, the Treas urer and the Auditor General did not know how many State bonds were outstanding! Is the amount of any obligation merely to be supposed, or to be estimated, or even to be guessed at by the public officers of the State? If the fiscal affairs of the State arc to be run by guessers it might be well for them to set their machinery in order, to guess where the present nominal balance is in the Treasury or in tho banking houso of some other Yerkes. Did Hartranft only guess when he reported iu December lsT.G, that the overdue bonds amounted to 4;2,'5,10S,G2G.24-. Was it guess work upon which was based tW Act which ordered the issue of ( per cent, bonds to redeem those overdue 5's? Is it really so that the affairs of the people are so buugingly con ducted that iu the grave matter of the fis cal .interests of the people guessing lias taken the place of arithmetic? In reply to the remark that Mr. Orvis coolly proceeds to assume that this sum of twenty-three millions, with the accrued interest and premium on tho same, had been paid out in redemption of the outstanding bonds, the entirely satisfactory reply is given, that such was the direction of the law pro-j viding for borrowing the millions iu ques tion that the eoiiit iliitioii wliicU theso Republican officials had sworn to obey, abstdutely prohibits tho creation of any debi but to reyel invasion, suppress insur rection, or to redeem tho present indebted ness of the State. The argument of the Commercial is evidently based on the idea that its friends utterly refuse- to olwry either Act of Assembly r Constitution cither. In ls07 this loan produced to the Treas ury s?2o.;',5V253.12. During tin same year 0,yi 7,0-12.30 were paid on account of tho public debt; l,7tM,tj44..."0 of this sum was drawn from tho Sinking Fund and but 19, 122. 007. W) from tho proceeds of this loan. This leaves of the proceeds of this loan 4,2oU,2G0.1!a. Yet Governor Geary, in bis Message of ls8, only reported !?2,9o7,97.-jo as being on hand from that source. Will Mr. Mackey tell us what be came of the 1,202,2S1.C8, which the Gov ernor was evidently ignorant of the Treasurer ' guessing',' it was not iu tho Treasury. The Commercial itself admits that only $2 1,1 25,6-1:5.80 was paid out of this fund on account of the -pubic debt, in 18G7 and ISO.. It further admits that all payments on that account since lb3 have been paid out of the Sinking Fund. As the dillcr ence between the money received on the bonds and the amount of that fund paid out on account of tho debt, never was pa-id into the Sinking Fund, pray what has be comoofit; it amounts to 2,327,014.23 where is it? It surely is not in the Treas ury, for your partner (Mackey) reports his balance "ou hand to be Jf 1,482, 455.1. Who lias stolon it? Mr. Mackey reports that from 1807 to 1872, inclusive, there were sf22, 920, 708 paid out of the Sinking Fund. The Anditor General reports the expenditures from that fund during the same period at 22,712, 937.88 w hat has become of tho difference, amounting to $207,770.12? Add to this hiatus the. evaporated $2,227,014.23, it gives a defalcation apparent from eve the figures of the Commercial itself, aunt&ut ing to $2,435,384.35, which added to the amount of tho unclaimed Cnambersburg certificates -$2,371.20 makes Mr. Orvis' figures precisely!

Geary to tho Legislature; they were set forth in the speech of Mr. Orvis, and , yet our neighbor skipped them guessing, ! we presume, that he had better not notice , them. They were doubtless furnished to the Governor by the Auditor General and the State Treasurer. j In conclusion the Patriot says, and we , quote its words in full: j ' "During all this time Governor Hartranft 1 was Auditor General, Commissioner of tho j Sinking Fund and Special Loan Cominis- t Kiouer. In the latter capacity he was re- ' quired to sell the new loan aiul to apply the entire proceeds to tho payment of the pul.lic del.t. As Commissioner of the Sinking : Fund it was his duty to apply the moneys received into that fmi.l to the same oh.joct. I As Auditor General it was hi duty to re- ) fuse his approval to iuiv other application of any part of cither of these, funds, and no ! use could lo made of them without his otli- : rial sanction. Let the parties to these transactions who arc etill living le:i.r the ! responsibility for this reat outrage upon j the taxpayers ot IViuisy Ivarna. "The speech of Mr. Orvis was made offi cially as a representati vu of the people, aud his facts anil conclusions should have de manded the immediate attention of tTie ot?l cia'.s charged with dereliction of duty. "We congratulate the people of the. State that the issue has been forced uion these officials. and we only ask the public shall give to the ! subject a ilelilH-rate and candid consider-' tiou. If Mr. Orvis is correct, Mr. Mackey ! tiag no claim To continue at the head of tho Treasury, and the rSng he represeuts should be broken. I f he is not correct the officials implicated should make full explana'ions and exhibits to the prnple. The issue is 110 ; longer a private one. with Mr. Orvis, but one between the managers ot the treasury aud the whole people of the State." A FhK Tote ami Victory. The approaching election affords an op portunity to the Democracy of Pennsylva nia to recover their long lost control of the politics of the State. Three hundred and liftv thousand Democratic voters have it in their power to redeem tho Common- wealth from the misrule of the Kattica. party and to restore Democratic govern ment to the people. There are about seven hundred thousand voters, all told, in the -Suite, half of whom arc .Democrats. The rule of the Treasury ling has disgust ed at least twenty-Gve per cent, of the voters of the Radical partv to such a de gree that they will either not present their j votes at the polls, or cast their ballots for j the Democratic ticket. It is a safe esti- mate to place the vote which will le polled i for the ring State ticket at less than three Horae.a Conn, Woburn, Mass.; Franklin hundred thousand. Tins can be easily : Bank ing Co., Chicago. 111. ; Taussig, Fish overcomc by the Democrats if the proper cr it Co., St. Louis, Mo - Powell it Co., exertions aro made to poll the full vote of tle party. It can be beaton fifty tiiol' sani if every Democrat in the State will go to the election and do his duty like a j man. Mark the prediction!

There is not the slightest doubt of Mrs. Swisshehu's .statenieut. In j trials of the courts t.f justice the greatest many i;tt:u. r.t. i,nvi their shackles knocked , iota c anu sentative. to consult with it uikjii any con troverted point of law or of fact. Xot onlv was Mrs. Surratt manacled when she as before tho '-Round Robin ! of the military ofiieers, but when she was executed it was at a time wiien sue was a sufferer under the periodical laws of wo manhood. As Don 11 l'iatt has well said, hc lost her life because she kept a boarding-house. John Wilkes Booth boarded there, lfo was intimate with her son. That son was tried before a legally organ ized court and acquitted. His mother, w ho was only accused as his representa tive, was much more innocent. She could never have known anything about the murder of Lincoln. Booth conceived the idea of killing him after twelve o'clock ou the day of tho assassination, when ho learned that Lincoln intended visiting the National Theatre in Washington. That he made Mrs. Surratt his confidant is of course absurd. But at. that unfortunate time anybody who was intimate with Booth was suspected, and Mrs. Surratt was the sullcrcr. Xo grand jury of her countrymen would ever have convicted her. 5vo petit jury would ever have con victed her. Her conviction was a lawloss and murderous act and when wc so put it we only echo the opinion of General Ben jamin F. Butler. In the future history of the United States the murder of Mrs. Sur ratt will be like the execution of Jane Grey and other innocent victims of British cruelty in the dark ages. Cincinnati En quire r. The Financial Cuisis. The failure of Jay Cooke .V. Co., which occurred 011 Thursday of last week, has been followed by some twenty odd others in New York, j aud ten or fifteen iu l'hiladclphia, and quite a number in various other parts of . the country. The Cookes f.iiled because they vere carrying the bonds of the North- : en Pacific railroad, which was paying1 them nothing 011 the capital invested, and which bonds could not be negotiated. The general business interests of the country 1 ; w ill not suffer as in the panic of lsV7, w hen . the State banks were in an unsound con- j ilitioii. It is even thought that these fail- i ! urcs will result in good-t the country, as it will sweep out of existence the leaky ; ! and doubtful houses and enterprises, and j leave the healthy ones in operation. It is j also believed that the crisis has passed, and j ! that the worst has been realized. !
