Two men alighted from their horses in Jaekson township, on Monday evening last, and went to chewing each other up, as it were, but finally called quits, after one of them had lost a goodly portion of his right ear, the other being left whole.

We learn from a gentleman who heard another partv say that one of his neighbors had been told that the announcement was aliened to have been made in he columns of an Eastern paper to the effect that, in the event of the nomination and election of Mr. Strung ns State Treasurer, the position of Cashier would be tendered to a certain gentleman named Samuel Henry, whom, it will be remembered, Cambria county so far forgot itself, some years ago, as to send to the Legislature on one or two occasions. The Republican Couuty Committee con vened at the Courc House in this place on Tuesday last, and selected Jacob M. Camp bell, of Johnstown, and C. T. Roberts, of ibis place, as Representative Delegates to the State Convention, and Hon. Samuel Henry as Senatorial Delegate. The dele gates were instructed to support Governor llartranft for renominatlon, and Hon. It. B. Strang for State Treasurer.

As the time for auditing the accounts of the several boroughs and townships is near at hand, the following law relating thereto will be of interest to many of our readers: An Act to authorize and require the auditors to publish an annual statement of the re ceipt and expenditures of road commission ers, supervisors, overseers of the poor, and school directors of the several townships and boroughs within this common wealth, and to designate a day to audit, settle and adjust township and borough accounts.

We have heard of numerous cases of men being absent minded, such as Daniel Websrer using his silk hat for a spittoon, and Jerry Black putting on six shirts, etc. But one of our near neighbors who is said to be a candidate for a count) ofiice, beats them all. He started out of bis bouse on Monday with the coal buekct ; but instead of going to the coal house, deliberately proceeded to the well, where he drew up "The Old Oaken Bucket," or one of some kind, brimful of simiklin water, and leisurely tilled the coal scuttle, and not till it j began to leak out did he discover his mistake. Then he tried to make bis wife believe be was just washiug out the bucket. Clarion Demv (int. The Democrat man can't hold a candle to an incident which occurred in our town some time ago. A Democraticlawyer (we won't mention his name, for we know Thompson to be sensitive on the subject) who is very fond of the good things of life, concluded Saturday evening that he would have a couple of nice, plump, spring chickeus for Sunday dinner. To conclude was to act, and he secured the fowls and atarted home. Ooing to the kitchen door, he told the su perintendent of the culinary department to get some hot water ready as he was about to decapitate the aforesaid fowls. With a chicken in each hand he wended his way to ward the fatal block, and seeing the hatchet on the ground, dropped the chicken held in his right hand and picked up the instrument of death, but was considerably surprised to find the chicken making 2:40 tiraeacrosss the lot. Determined not to be cheated out of half .his dinner in that way, he dropped the remaining fowl and started at a brak-neck pace after the first one, which soon made good its escape. About this lime it dawned upon his mind, that by some means lie had lost both fowls, for in the meantime the sec ond one had gone the way of the first. It took him soma li' tle time to discover how the thing was done, but concluding be would kuow better next time he countermanded the order for hot water, saying that npou re flection, he concluded a No. 1 mackeral w ould be better for dinuer than cbickeu. Indiana 3tssenger. We learn from a gentleman whose ver acity is unquestionable, that a certain as tute politician in one of the rural districts of this county is very industriously circu lating the report that we are making 92.000 a year, clear of all expenses, in the publi cation of the Freeman, and therefore do not need the ofllce we are seeking; and that we refused on one or more occasions to pub lish an article or article designed and. cal culated to benefit the Democratic party, for fear of offending certain Republicans, whose good will we wished to retain, aud there fore (in his es'in.ation) we do not deserve the office to which we are aspiting. All this to defeat, jf possible, our nomination for County Treasurer, aud assist a relative of bis own, who is too mnch of a gentleman to countenance such contemptible argu ments to secure the coveted prize. Both theM stories we declare to be false in every particular, and we now call upon the astute politician aforesaid to either make good his assertions or shut Lis mouth about ns and our business, and particularly to refrain from giving tongue to statements in regard to onrself which he docs not know to be trne in every particular. We may have uo right to the nomination, and shall certainly irot complain If it is fairly bestowed on soma one else; but we have a right to ex pect fair play, and we believe we have friends enough who will insist, on that being accorded us, no matter what the decision of the convention raav be. Without consulting Mr. Lilly, the stew ard of the Poor House, who can no doubt, if he thinks fit, answer for himself the very serious charges made against him through the Johnstown Tri&i'n in an article entitled "A Sufferer's Story," we have tho authority of Dr. Oatman for saying that there is no truth whatever in the statement that the unfortunate man referred to was left eirJit dajn without medical attendance after lieing brought to that institution. On the contrary, his leg was dressed on the third day af ter, and would have been attended to much sooner, were it not for the fact that Dr. Oatman was unavoidably absent from home at the time, Mr. Lilly having made several fruitless trips to town in quest of him. The balance of the "sufferer's sry" is'no doubt equally reliable (?), and were it not for the purpose of making political capital, it might not have been deemed wotthy of pub lication. More than that, the man Schultz is either an inveterate liar, or else te is very far from being . the -poor unfortunate he would have the public believe him to be, as he assured Dr. Oatman and others that he was the son of wealthy parents in Ger many, who needed only to know his wants to supply tbem; and that, if the Doctor would "put him through" all right, a hand some gold watch would be his reward; this, and much else of like character.

The proposition made by you last week. In regard to the changing of the mode of electing delegates to the county convention, seems to meet the general approval of the people here away, and could sea reel y fail to give satisfac tion, if adopted, which I earnestly hope will be the case. It would give Bharpers no chance to play their crafty games. As the time is fast approaching for the elec tion of a County Superintendent, it Is to be hoped that a worthy and efficient person will be selected to fill that responsible position. I see in your last week's issue a flourishing article Troin near Portage, bearing the nameof "Michael Dalv," u quiet. Inoffensive old citi zen of Suromevhill township. Mr. Daly, it is needless to say, had no more to do with said article than the man In the moon or the Khe dive of Kgvpt. The gentleman and nrhitlar who did the scribbling should come out like a man, and not be6ailfng under false colors. lie pro fesses great love for the truth, and for that reason, if for no other, ought to use it less sparingly than he does. 1 defy him to point out Hnvtbing written by me for the Frkeman which "is not literally true, his intimations to tbecontrary notwithstanding. I also caution him against arranging mv remarks to suit him self, as he did with the sentence In dispute, making it read entirely unlike the original. He also denounces it as ungrammatlcal, but fails to tell in what particular. The fact re mains, however, that a great many logs irvre delivered at Portage; yes, and tanbark. too. But that Is nothing compared to the powerful maledictions which this grammatical critic pours out upon the schools and teachers of this township. I claim that the teachers or Washington township performed their duties with credit and fidelity, and have as good re cords and as unimpeachable characters as any teachers in tho county. Hence, this chronic fault-finder should be made to understand that be cannot attack them with impunity. So, also, with the Washington township 6chool board, which can take care of its own affairs, no matter whether school keeps or not. But enough of this, and perhaps too much; for the mote-seeking scribe, not to say Phari see, who has to hide behind the name of a de cent man in order to Insure himself a hearing, is scarcely worth noticing. Jcinct, LoitETTO, April S, 1ST5. T)KAR Sir : In your last you say that "every body is waiting to see the atitoirraph of the new Treasurer of tho Cnited Stati-s. It can never equal Spinner's."' Enclosed is a fac simile of tint autozrno't. and I 'think yon will agree with me that it is "fearfully and wonder fully made." It will do more to bring forgers to the mourner's bench than a regiment of Moodys Rnd Sankeys. (Jrnnt must have select ed him for "only that, and nothing more." The fac-similie was clipped from the Indianapolis correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial, of April 3d. That paper, of the sntne date, says that"Bloss' labors were all in vnin, if he thought his penmanship wouH qualify him to be Spinner's successor." Bloss, ns Is well known, was the famous statistical editor or the Cincinnati Knqiiirer. who could always "figure up" a Iiemocratic gain, no matter what elec tion returns said. He is. moreover, reputed to tie the worst penman in the United States. Horace Greeley's pot-hooks were specimens of high art in comparison with Bloss'. Some years ago, during a controversy between the f'?i iptirer and Commercial, the latter paper printed what purported to be a fao-similie of one of Bloss letters, and very considerately rurnished its readers with the key. But Watterson, or the l.ouisvillo ftmi ier-Jnvmal. speaking in his next issue aitcnt the so-called fsc-similie, said: "Ko you don't; you can't fool us. We saw that thing before. It's a railroad map of the State of Ohio." Yours, respectfully, C. Washington TowTtsmp, April 14, 1875. Mr, Editor I agree with you In th re marks you mode In your paper last week about the rieiegato elections, end hope the plan you suggest will be adopted in the different elec tion districts. It will be a very easy matter for each man, after he has voted for delegates, to show by his mark on a paper containing a list of the canddbites for the different offices his own wishns as to who ought to be nomin ated. This paper will be in the possession of the election officers, who will be bound on their honor to see that no double marking takes plaee, or any unfair dialing whatever. It makes no tliffererce whether the candidates object to this plan, or what they may say about it. It is a matter for the voters themselves to decide, and they have a right to express their choice of candidates in any way they please. This plan would shut the nioutbs of men who don't deserve office, and would stop the cry that they were cheated or betrayed in the con vention. It is as fair and easy a way of get ting at the wishes of the people as could bo recommended. I have not talked with a Dem ocrat in this township who Is not In favor of it; end I trust the active men of the party in each district will take hold tf it and carry it out at the next delegate election.

It is a tu tiful location, and has a eentnry old olive tree in front, just on the line of the street. To many people, this one. tree would be worth a thousand dollars, placed in front of their resi dences. Mr. F. is one of the lucky mining op erators of Cambria.

Hearing that Florida Was the Mecca' tn the played-out. as well as the sick and ailing, I concluded to try the virtues of her revivifying air and water liquor ignored, so to speak.

MY TRIP. Owing to the fact that the sleighing In the Southern States is not good at this season of the year, or at any other. I was obliged per force to perform the Journey by rail. There is a charm which attaches to gliding over the glassy surface In a hob-eled, at the rate of three or four miles an hour, which is more exhilar ating than any other method of transporta tion, except it may be riding in a canal boat) and it was much ega'.nst my will that I was de prived of that pleasure on this occasion. How ever, I will do justice to the railroad b) saying that bad it not been for it, I must have walked WASHINGTON. The first point of Importance at which I stopped was Washington City, the National Capital, you know. It is right at the Potomac river, and is sometimes called the "City of Magnificent Distances." because It Is such a magnificent distance from the centre of the earth, ten miles north of Ebensburg. as well as from all other places of importance. Of course, my first business was to pay my re spects to the CHICr MAGISTRATE OF THE RATIO. I found Mr. Grant the same man, bearing pre cisely the same name as when I saw him b fore, having grown neither longer nor shorter, thicker nor thinner. " "Mr. President," I In quired, for I am a man not accustomed to mince matters, having for the major portion of my life lived In the primeval forest, like Cln cinnatusand Daniel Webster; "Mr. President," 1 Inquired, "what does all this palaver about the third term amount to?" His reply was manly and straight-forward: "When anybody asks you about this matter," said the Presi dent, ''speak authoritatively, (here he placed one hand on the side of his mouth, and lower log his voice to a whisper), "and Jti tell 'em you don't know nothing about it." This ought to settle all controversy on the third term riddJe. INTERVIEW WITH JONES Jones, of Nevada, called on me at my rooms on Strawberry street, near the market-house. He wanted to get my views on the question of finance in advance of the arrival or Sharon, of the same State, who had not then got to the fore, and who wanted to set hlmseif up as a leader on the same basis. 1 told Mr. Jones that I had always held that whenever a paper dollar was worth one hundred cents, the gold dollar should bo left as It Is; when it was worth seventy-five cents, the gold dollar should be shaved down one-fourth: when it was worth fifty cents, it should be cut in half, and so on. lie took me by the hand, and enthusiastically remarked that I re-echoed his sentiments to dot that he was satisfied be had not lived in vain, since he had received my indorsement on a question of such vital importance. Di-sth in any possi ble shape con M now have no terrors for him; and ns for Sharon, he could boost ahead with his idiotic financial schemes as much as be had a mind to, his goose being virtually cooked, without the stuffing. I also saw and talked with quite a number of other "important personages; but the limits of one issue of your paper (which is a most valuable one, by the way, as it were, so to speak) would not contain a tithe of the valua ble information I could give you. I therefore reserve further sketches in and about the Cap ital for other letters, and pass on to RICHMOND. Richmond is the capital of Virginia, and Is about the size of Ebensburg, with Harrisburg and Johnstown tacked onto it. It attained prominence during the rebellion, from the fact that it was the capital nf the Confederacy, and the plaee to which tht immortal "J. N." direct ed bis footsteps iu the interests of peace, in tbe year of our Lord 134. For full particulars of the rebellion and its sevcial details, consult an historical work on the subject, which was writ by my friend Horace Greelev, since deceased, and which Is for sale at all respectable book stores. Cham koops them up there in Khens burg. Jefferson Davis is not here now. Bear ing the mark of traitor on his brow, he wan ders restless, as it were, so to speak; but. then, it may be as well to remember that I wander, aud wonder, too. CHARLESTON, g. C., has not recovered from tho effects of the war, and tt may be added, if she never does I will be amongst the last to complain. Tbe Legisla ture of South Carolina was In session while I was there. The majority of that body Is com posed of colored men and brethren an cle ment of our population in behair of whose rights I have fought, bled and died all my life. When I cast a retrospective glance in the di rection of a certain terminus ot the under ground railroad, I feel big. However, in the solemn wordsof the poet, ''The leaves of mem ory seem to make a inournf ill rustling in the dark." Your friend and fellow-Cambrian. Tom Knox, were he here, would be astounded at the dizzy elevation his race has attained, so to spenk. A public reception would have been tendered mo by the dusky Solons, had it not been for tho fact that my visit chanced to be on a Friday "hangman's day," you know, and also a day when the country legislators go home to eat "hog and hominy a dish which is not down on the bill of fare at the Spotswood House. Hominy colts only ten cents a pound here, wln rt as in Cambria county tbe ruling price is fifteen cents. FLORIDA IS A WARM STATE. But I must hurry on. Reluctantly shaking the soil of the Palmetto State from my four teens, I took tbe broad-tread railroad, and, touching here and there (anent which I will write attain), I at length arrived at the point at which I stepped, and where I now sit writing from. TAUAB ASSES Is the capital of Florida, if I am correctly In formed. It is a trim little city, albeit it suf fers under tho disadvantage of not being lo cated on so high a perch as the siteof Munster, The inhabitants are energetic and hospitable, and chew nothing but native leaf tobacco. There is a splendid brass band here. It sere naded me tbe first evening after my arrival. The tune it played was old and familiar. It was, "Did you ever see the devil," etc. It brought tears to my eyes, and nia.le mc think of home and some of my late constitueuts. not'onTiu.B. Doughvllle is about two miles east of Talla hassee, and Is eisily reached by means of a bal loon line, which makes trips every ten min utes. It Is precisely such a place as Cresson, except that Cresson hat- pure air, limpid waters and line scenery; whereas Doughville has sand hills, muskeeters and alligators. Price of board per week in the lest hotel, where I board. Is ten dollars, in atl inner. I having little or no baggage. This, or course, doson't include med ical attendanee and cocktails, because one can't always tell how many of the latter he or she mae desire or need. OENERAL REMARKS. As before stated, the space you will be able to allot me in yeor columns will not nearly suffice toenable me to tell yon all I know about this country, al thou nh I have not been here very long. This being the - case, I will bring this screed to a close by throwing In a few gen eral remarks. The soil here is of such a na ture that, if you tickle it with a hoe, it will bring forth an exceedingly abundant harvest. When tbe rains fall on it heayily, it b-comes muddy, and sticks to one's boots; when the sun shines on it fiercely. It gets dry, turns to dust, aud sticks to one's clothes in both of which respects It closely resembles the noil ef Cam bria county, down about Wash. Lloyd's and Plattvllle, as It were. T'te air is generous and life-giving, and warranted to cure any disease named In the Materia Medica the only excep tion. I am informed, being that it Is impotent to make an amputated leg grow to Its original proportions, provided the owner of said leg was twenty-one years old when the accident occurred, as It were. A widow woman, well known In this neign horbood. Informs me that Kennedy township is extremely virtuous. Since I received this in formation, and after a thorough investigation or canvas or the township, I find that thereare no Inhabitants in it. save and except the wid ow and her daughters. The old ladv Is intelli gent, but afflicted with shortness of sight; in fact, she Is almost entirely blind at least, one ot the daughters so informed me. They feel perfectly at home with their mother, however, r Yours, until further orders, II adihim a.
