C) Tuesday next the election In Ohio,
Indiana and Iowa will tike place. Con
gressmen a-ill be elected in each f.tate, '
while in the two latter States members of ,
the Legislature will also be elected. As
the Oreenback party is in the contest fully
quipped wilh its candidates, we will not
attempt to express an opinion as to the re
sults. At best it would only be a mere
gut$. v natever may oe me complexion ,
of the Legislature in Indiana, it is admit- ';
t 1 that Daniel W. Yoothees has made the
most brilliant campaign ever known in that J
H'ate, and that as a stump speaker he j
atHiiris unrivalled in the great West, which !
L.s produced so many well known men of i
that type
He lias labored botti nnlit and ;
day has addressed over seventy five mass j
meetings, as well aa numerous township
meetings in close counties and if he does
not win success, he ha shown that he em
inently deserves it. The race, however,

the strong,

The venomous assaults of the Johnstown
Tribune iu its weekly edition upon Gen.
Coffroth are growing small by degrees and
l...ot ifulltf lex. Tt commenced three
weeks ago with a broadside of almost
eighteen columns but was only able last
Friday to furnish nn Installment of three.
If its editor perseveies in repeating his
charges, it may be that eventually he will
believe Hi them himself, for some men are
well StUCK IO as giMHl as tlie trutn. HOW
tiianv votes the
Tribune will succeed in
makin Tor Coffroth is a question which
Ihe Republicans in this section of the
eunty are just now anxiously discussing, j
Itceitainly will not drive any votes away;
from him, for as an old and knowing negro
... .. . . .
In Greenville, Soutn Carolina, said to a
young colored brother who was denouncing
Wade Hampton when he visited that place
threw weeks ago: 'Young man, stop a
dimmycratie candidate isjist. like rVrrmeat
the more you thaw if. ihe bi'jferit ieeU.''
After Coffroth is elected the Tribune man
will be amaaed at the size of tho piece of
Fo.nerset "Air ment' which for the pat
two mouths he U& bueu Hying to uiaati-
Lilly' Lie bailed and Clinched. I
t Two years ago lust March, William Lilly, J
! or Washington, was examined as a witness
! before the Honse Judiciary Committee,
i then investigating a charge against Charles
j Hayes, a member from Alabama, of hav
ing received several hundred dollars for
appointing a young man named Beardsler,
from New York, to a Cadetship at West
Point. One of Lilly's specialities was that r
or buying Cade'ships fiom members of the
House, and ho was to swear the charge
against Hayes through before the com
mittee. In the course of his testimony he
stated that about twelve years before that
be Imd paid A. II. CofTtolh, then a mem- .
bJr fix tinld or nine bundled dollars to :
a j point a young man to the Naval Ac
cademy at Annapolis ; that be bad received
f 1,200 from the young man's friends with
which to purchase the appointment; that
be never saw the young man ; that he
could not tell bis name, but that be resided
in New York, or in its vicinity. The
editor of the Johnstown Tribune rolled
this story of Lilly's under bis tongue as a
weet morse), and scattered several thous
eand copies of bis paper containing it
throughout this Congressional district, in '
order to injure Gen. Coffroth aud defeat I
bis election. The name of the naval cadet
appointed by Gen. Coffroth was Edward j
J. Bet w ind, who then resided at Saxton, j
in lieu ford county, and a gentleman named
John Fulton, then also living ia Saxton,
but now a resident of Johnstown, gave
him (liei wind) a letter of introduction to
Gen. Coffro.h, urging his appointment, j
and it was made. We now ask an v honest :
1
man lO turn to another pari Ol our papei ;
and read the letters from Edward J. lier
wiud and his brother, Charles F. Bet wind,
to Mr. Fulton, in reference to this matter,
and then tell us what they think of Lilly
and his sponsor, tbe Johnstown Tribune.
We knew and said it was a lie at the verv

of truth, collapsed and fallen flat to the j
earth. UI course we do not expect mat j
tun j riCune win retract the libel, its editor
not being a man of that kind, but look for
him to reaffirm it as it suits him from now j
until the election. He delichts iu such '
low arts, and in the work of defamimr . j
political opponent knows no such word as
fail. But it is now harmless for mischief,
and having, like spurious coin, been nailed
to the counter, there it will icma.n.
F. F. Drwf.f.s, Chairman of the Green
back State Committee, and Francis W.
Hughes, the Gamaliel of the Greenback
party in this State, both reside in Potts
ville, and both of them having traveled ex
tensively ovei the State since the com
mencement of the present campaign, ought
to be able, from what they have seen and
heard, to form a reasonably intelligent
opinion of the relative strength of the
three candidates for Governor Dill, Hoyt
and Mason. They are as wide apart, how
ever, as the north and south poles. When

Sir My attention having been called to a copy
of the Johnstown IVrtHly Trihmir of Sept. :tih,
which contains, among thcrs, the charge that
money was paid to Hon. A. H. Coffroth, Repre
sentative of the lfith Pennsylvania District in
the Connress of the United States, for my nom
ination as a l "adet. to the Naval Academy at An
napolis, in lSftT. I beg to say. as an act of simple
justice imu rikriii, inn. sucu cnarge is utterly
groundless. The circumstances connected wilh '
my (appoint merit were as follows :
When my noui'iiatioii to the Cadetship was
made I resided at S-ixton. Hedlord county, at I
nnd in the Imiiwrliiiri. rii'iniii- ,r whioi. '.i...n ;

oeois, pniMic aim privaie ; n ih ueiiiinciai ion
of repudiation in every form, even under
color of law, and bis masterly defense of
the constitutional standard of money as the
only rock of safety for government and
people, elicited the most enthusiastic re-
spouses from bis hearers ; and his protest
against the arbitrary regulation of the vol
ume of currency by Presidents or Cabinet
olhcers or by the capricious views of Con
gress was received with universal favor.
His review of the resumption policy of Sec

exposed the needless enlargement of the

compel resumption, when the whole busi

be startled his audience with the conclu
siveness of his reasoning on the subject.
The speech throughout was listened to with
the most profound interest, and did more
to settle the views of this community on

Paper currency is indispensable in all count l ies,
and more indispensable here than in any other
nation because of the greater individual energy
and t hril t of our people. In no ot her nut ion 1 1 -ity
do the people so generally possess nod so
freely use money in their ordinary ways of life
as In the United States, and in no other nation
ality is wealth so widely diffused and so tickle
in its smiles as here, where intelligence is lim
ited to no class and honor and fori uue are o;ien
to all. A larger volume of money in proportion
to population is, t hen-fore, needed in this coun
try more rtian in any other, and it should be lim
ited solely by the wants of legitimate business,
and not by the arbitrary decree of a president
or asecretary of the treasury or by the ebbs
snriltlowaof political I ides in Congress. All such
n g jlations of tne volume of currency stamp
uncertainty upon our financial policy and par
alyze Industry by ceaseless distrust. We have
seen a president arbil rarily and lawlessly dirt. et
the issue of millions of currency when it linan
cial panic threatened the defeat of the party
that happened to rule at the time; and when
one executive can do so without accountabili
ty, what may not a future president or minister
of the treasury do to promote or hinder the
prosperity of the nation as cupidity or ambition
may dictate

f "ie" the
Climate, aggravated by a want of proper
kn.o of food to subsist on. llecentlv five
hundred natives, have been engaged as
laborers on the road, and these, wilh the
men who have become acclimated, form as
large a force as is required. Iu ihe supply
of materials there is no lack.
Referring to the complaints that have
been published through private and public
sources of the hardships to which the men
have been exposed, these gentlemen say
that there has been no needlets suffering
among them. That tho men have had
hardships to endure they say is not to be
denied, but they have been only such as
migh: have been expected on going into a
torrid country, unused to the climate and
shut out from all civilization. Everybody
was inexperienced and as ignorant of the
proper ai tides of diet as they were of the
language of the natives, and as a conse.
quence a large share of the sickness has
been attributable to a want of proper kind
of diet.
Canned fruits, vegetables and meats are
now being sent out in large quantities and
regularly distributed among tho men.
There are some, they say, who will never
be able to endure the climate and these
are coming back to tbe States.
About ten miles of the road have been
graded and three miles of this distanco are
now completed. The engineer corps have
surveyed about seventy miles of the road
and are pushing rapidly forward. These
gentlemen speak confidently of the com
pletion of the road at the expiration of
three years from the date of the contract
and say that the most difficult part of the
work has been completed.
The completion of the road will open up
a valuable trade with Bolivia, particularly
in the article of india rubber. Even now
this pioduct of the country is brought in
paddle boats down the Mamore river to
the Madeiia, thence down the lat'er until
they reach the first falls, when it becomes
necessary to unload the boats and haul
both he boats and their contents ovei land
around ihe falls, then launch their barks
again and paddle down the river until the

Yankee enterprise is not alone represent

Already the invincible and ubiquitious
sewing machine agent has found his way
into this far off countiy, and, according to
the statement of these gentlemen, in eight
shanties out of ten along the coast of tho
Madeira and Amazon rivers there stands a
sewing machine as a monument to the in
riustiy and intrepidity of the Yankee sew
