EBENSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1S7S.
TO THE PE0PLE0F PENNSYLVANIA
FROM THE SOLDIERS SHE SENT INTO THE FIELD.
Tlie present seems a proper and fitting
occasion for those who have borne arms in
the Nation's cause, when the armed inter
vention of the citizen was necessary to its
support, to pive due expression to their
opinions in favor of perfect Union and
practical administrative reform. The per
manence of the Union depends upon the
viitue and manhood of its citizens, and if
they are powerless to redeem its govern
ment from the deadly influence of coriup
tion, then their heroic sacrifices in preserv
ing it from the bolder approach of hostile
bayonets will have been in vain.
We have felt that in serving the country
during the lute wa , and in defending its
ll.iti fiom the assault made upon it, we
simply discharged the duty which patriot
ism imposed upon us, and w hen the contest
closed, we put ofl the uniform of the soldier
and reas.sumed the garb and position of
the private citizen. Tlie war was waged
for tlie preset vat ion of the Union and the
maintenance of Kepuhlican Institutions,
an I by a resolution of Congress, solemnly
and unanimously put foilh, it was asserted
that when these purposes were accomplish
ed "the war would cease." The funis of
victory have been fully gleaned. The
voice of secession has been silenced by the
thunder of a hundred battle fields; the
slave has been emancipated and elevated
to the dignity of citizenship. The pay
ment of Con federate W ar Claims has been
prohibited by eo is! it ution.il enactment,
and t he lla.LT of tlie Union floats proudly
without chiill 'iige throughout the length
and hi ead I Ii of t he land. The suit inn obli
gation which we took uuon us on entering
the service, ''that we would defend the
United Slates honestly and faithfully from
all enemies and oppose rs whom oever."
compels us to rescue inr g .veinmetit, to h
state an. 1 nat ional, from l he hau ts of t hose
who seek to destroy the ins' il in ions for
which we fought. We are impiessed with
the cotivictio.i t hat out form of guvei iiment
is imperil'-d ; that a ci isis h;is been reached
in our affairs ; and Dial the continuance in
authority oT the party n s-named Hepuhli
ctti must lead to general disaster and ruin.
The nc nil of i silaik past admits no r.iy
of hope for the ful me. That paity must
die, that republican liberty may live.
( 'oi ruption, extravagance and usurpation
of authoi iiy, the deadly enemies of popular
i;iii erntneii', arc tliie.itcning the uat ional
iife, and th-se entrusted with the guard
ianship of all that is piecious to the Anier
ican pe pi j are hold in g up t he casket w hile
i hey aie extract ing the jewel. That, which
vvas once the paityof the .Martyred Lin
coln has become a band of robbers. For
years that paity has lived and f.tl lened and
maintained itself in power by the most
;1 ioiaiit vioial imis of i igh t. I i eater ci lines
have followed fast upon lesser ones, until
lie greatest ci line of all the most .siiip.Mi
ii 'tis ci i me of history we ai e governed by
i Chief Maiiistiate placed in the I'i evi
dential Chair by open and unblushing
fraud.
We see as the result of these years of
iiiisitile, tlie utter destruction of our com
neice, our mauufacioi ies closed, the entire
larayzatton of eveiy iudmtiy, the closing
of eveiy avenue of trade. Oui people once
s prosperous reduced to want and poveity,
and pauperism tiiiikini; ti.nit slides thro
our once happy laud. A change of rulers
tiid of paity is indeed essentia) if we may
ever hope to see again the puiiry of the
aily days of the Ucpuliu and the former
pi ospei il y of the people. And now for the
pm pose of giving practical effect to the
vitws heieiu expi e.-sed,' e ask you, the
oteisof l'eiiiisylvania, toj lin with us in
elevating to the G nbei tialni ial Chair of
our gram! old Suite, that pine Citizen and

A FICTIOX ASD A FORGERY CHARGED CTOX
THE "TRIBl'NE."
To the Lditor of the Herald :
Sir : Your request a night or two ago
at the Union club has induced me to look
over the Tribune of the last two months
and to band you what I have to say there
on. The Tribune ascribes to me while in
Florida, November and December, 187(.
the sending of certain telegrams which I
never sent, the receiving of certain tele
grams which I never received. One de
cisive instance will here suffice. Cipher
telegram seventy eight (78), as translated
and ascribed to me, is a forgery. It mis
states tlie situation as I know it. It is ad
dressed to II. Havemeyer. I never sent a
message to or through any Mr. Havemeyer
in all my life.
The Tribune affirms that after Nov.
2'2d "not a line was sent by, Mr. Marble,
even in his most accret ciphers, implying a
belief that the Democrats had any l ight to
the vote of the State." My private tele
grams show tlie contrary. My several de
spatches puolished by the New York
Herald, World and &un. the Cinncinati
Evquirer and Commercial, the Chicago
Time, and Louisville Courier Journal,
justify that belief with proofs now sifted
and iucontestible.
This fiction and that forgery are the two
necessary hinges upon which the Tribune
hangs every subsequent falsification of my
opinion, purposes and acts.
I shall let these thirty or forty broad
sides or disparagement pass on into echoes
moie or less noisy, because there happens
to m? no tcleeiam imputed to me, as there
can be no telegram verily mine, that con
flicts with one fact, namely : I uever at
tempted, furthered, or executed, in any
manner direct or indirect, or ever assent
ed to or concurred in, any proposition,
pnipose. scheme or effort to b.iy the state
canvassers' certificate of the vote of Flor
ida, or even to hire them to certify that
vo:e as it was cast by her people for the
Tilden electors.
Real or pretended brokers overran Tal
lahassee flashing the game which Noyes
bagged. From such people I received
many propositions that one Republican
member of the board, or both, could and
must be brought to tell the truth, turn
state's evidence and brave Republican re
veneis, else they never gave thei: certifi
cate in accordance with the truth, confess
ed ciiice by one of them, McLin, and es
tablished long before the count by all the
governmental powers of the state, that the
people of Florida on November 7 had
chosen the Tilden electois. Though al
ways inorming the proper officers of tlie
national Democratic committee of the
oourse ot events, I never reported, for I
never had, a syllable of consultation with
Mr. Woolley or anybody, Democrat or
Republican, which favored or even tolerat
ed the acceptance of any such proposition.
None svere. ever discussed by nie. On the
contrary, I repulsed every approach of that
sort, on the spot. My decision, never de
baled, was nowhere questioned.
AA'as that decision an error ? The facts,
which no candid man now disputes, were
then plain, as their duty was plain, to
every member of the Flonda board. Tlie
foremost Republican antagonist in our
long contention, General Francis C. F.ar
low, as I heard and believed, had private
ly I old .McLin and Cowgill so. In the be
half of tlie Democrats from the North, so
had I. And I teWraphed when the board
went into session an intimation of my be
lief that the right would pi evail. A few
hours later their certificate to the reverse
of the truth diselled my illusion.
What Ameiican citizen could then con
ceive that a president de facto by means of
one forged and two false s ate certificates,
himself the chief beneficiary of their pur
chase, would reward nearly everv known
ageut and accessory in that crime with a
share of its fruits, and this sovereign peo
ple tax themselves ?150,OO0 for the annual
wages of that successful fraud ?

New York, October lo, 1878.
REArAHKAm.E EcnoEs. In the sepul
clierof Metalla, the -aife of Sulla, in the
Roman Campagna, there is an echo which
lepeats five times, in five different keys,
and will also give back with distinctness
a hexameter line which requires two and
a half seconds to utter it. On the banks
of theNaha, between Hingen and Coblentz,
an echo repeats seventeen limes. The
sjteaker may scarcely be heaid, and yet
the responses are loud and distinct, some
times appearing to approach, at other
times to come from a- great distance.
Echoes equally beautiful and romantic are
to be heaid in our own islands. In the
cemeteiy of the Abercorn family, at Faisly,
when the door of the chapel is shut, the
reverberations are equal to the sound of
thunder. If a single note of music is
breathed the tone ascends gradually with
a multitude of echoes till it dies in soft and
bewitching murmurs. In this chapel is
interred Margery, the daughter of liruce,
and the ife of William Wallace. The
echo at tlie Eagle's Nest, on the banks of
Killaruey, is renowned for its effective re
petition of a bugle call, which seems to be
repealed by a hundred instruments, until
it gradually dies away in the air. At the
report of a cannon the loudest thunders
reverberate from the rock, and die in
seemingly endless peals along the distant
mountains. At the Castle of Simonetta, a
nobleman's seat about two miles from
Milan, a surprising echo is produced be
tweeu two w ines of the building. The re
port of a pisti 1 is repeated by this echo
sixty times; and Addison, who visited the
place on a somewhat fogry day, when the
air was unfavorable to the experiment,
counted fifty-six repetitious. At first they
were very quick, but the intervals were
greater in proportion as the sound decayed.
i It is asseited that the sound of nne musical
instrument in this place resembles a great
number of instruments playing in conceit.
This echo is occasioned by the existence
of two parallel walls of considerable length,
between which the wave of sound is rever-
' berated from one to the other until it is
entirely spent. The orld of Wonders.
The following is made np of about equal
parts of truth and poetiy :

JIISTOJilC HOAXES.
The fool-hunter lias from time immemo
rial been one of the most successful of
sportsmen. No matter what game he tires
at, he never fails to bring it down. Chance
has thrown in the way of the New Yoik
Di'patch the record of some of his most
amusing, yet least known, triumphs, and
we place them before our readers w ithout
further comment.
THE GREAT CAT HOAX.
In August, 1815. iust before NanoWm T.
started on his exile to Ft. Helena a quanti-
ty of handbills were distributed tl,.,,.,,,!.
the city of Chester, England, at the direc ! ,'"e,,,x hke in t,ie nioke fiotu the cLuu
tion of a very respectable-looking, Quaker I tte?t .
like sort of a personage, informing the t, personage found a rival a month
public that a great number of genteel fam- i er ln n,a" Vl,", promised to ..,,1 -!y
ilies had embarked at Plymouth to proceed ; c,,nvelrt ,,,mself in- a M"w. arli- g as Inn
to St. Helena with the troops appointed to ! ."' b'"P,,'r cn.k. ami th. ti s, nine;
guard the ex-Emperor. Now St Helena lllmRtlf. "one lo a ttini, aiound to ihe aud
the bills stated, was cursed with'n plague ,ell.e rf'sK"'d as a waiter,
of rats, and the British Ministry had pledg- I V.,,,n ,,,e ra'e f l mesmeii m wis at i s
en useii to clear the island of these noxious
animals for the benefit of the resident citi
zens. Accordingly, all good Utitons were
canea upon to furnish their
quantum of
grown cats or thriving kiltens for tlie car-
ljing out 01 this purpose. The Govern
ment was willing to 'phv the piper," and,
... ,..i..,. ionee transportation 111 a ves
sel to he specially chat tered for the purpose
offered for each athletic full grown tom
cat, sixteen shillings, for each adult female
puss, ten shillings ; and half that sum for
every vigorous kitten that oould swill milk."
The lesult can beimagined. Within three
days over three thousand cats were col
lected in Chester. The city was a oande
monium, and one stieet in which the cat
merchants had been directed by bill to as
semble was the scene of positive and blood v
riots. Meautime some mischievous bojs
let the cats out of their bags, and a colon
sal hunt had to be organized among the
hoaxed spectators. In one day five hun
dred of the obnoxious felines had been
thrown into the river Dee, and Chester for
months was afflicted with swainis or stiay
cats as a result of the freak.
THE ORE AT liOTTLE TRICK SWINDLE.
The most glaring yet successful ,f he
old-time hoaxes was peipeltated in 1749.
The Duke of Montague w agered that let a
man advertise the most nnrwissible thing in
the world he would find f.K.ls enough in
liondon to fill a playhouse to see it. and pav
for the piivil.ge. Surely," said Loid
Chesteitield, "if a man should say he
would jump into a quart bottle, nobody
wouiu ueneve u.at. " A wager was made ,
on this basis, and the following advertise- !
ment was inserted in the papers : j
"At the Sw Theatre, in thn Havm.irket, 1
on Monday next, the l-.'th inst, is to be s-eti
a person who performs the several n st sur
prising 'hings following viz: I. He takes
a common w alki u ane from any of the
spectators, and th. i con plays the "music of
every instrument now in use, and likewise
sings to surprising perfection. 2. He pre
sents you with a common w inn ho'.tle, w hi, h
any of the. ppectarors may first examine.
This iM.ttle is placed on a table in the mid. He
of t:ie stage, and he (without any equivoea- '
t on) goes into it in the sithi of all the spec
tators, and sings in it. During his s ay in
the luttle any ierson may handle it, and see
plainly that it does not exceed common
tavern-lottle. Those on the stage or in the
Ixixes may come in masked habits, if agree
able to them, and the erl"ormer, if desired,
will inform them who they are. Stage, 7s!
6d." " j
INTERESTING TO THE SIM UITC.X I.IsTS.
Another section of the advertisement '
cannot fail . interest the believer in Spir
itualism. It says : j
"Note. If any gentlemen or ladies, (af
ter the above jwrf'ormat.ces). either single or
in company, in or out ot" mask. r desirous
of seeing a representation .f any deceased
person, such as husband or w ife, sister or
brother, or any intimate friend , of either sex,
upon making a gratuity to the performer,
shall lie gratified by seeing and conversing
with them tor some minutes, as if alive ;
likewise, if desired, l,e will tell you your
most secret thoughts in yon r past life,"nd
give you a full view of persons who have
injured you, whether dead or alive. For
those gentlemen and ladies who are desirous
of seeing this last part, there is a private
room provided."
At ihe designated time the theatre was
crammed from pit to dome. When the
appointed hour passed and the conjuror
did not appear, a terrible uproar arose.
One person in the audience proposed, if
the looke.-s on would pay double-price, to
crawl into a pint bottle. Finally some one
threw a lighted candle on the stagp.
Within ten minutes more the theatre was
gutted, the benches were converted into a
large bonfire in front of the building, and
the drop curtain w as hung on a pde, pre
sumably as a banner, to the tiinmph of
Gullibility. A number of people were
blamed fot this hoax notably Footc. the
actor, who was one of the theatre, but the
real author was the Duke of Montague.
Another genius advertised totum him
self into a tattle, "which he hojied would
please young and old ; and still others
followed on his heels. Some of the notices
were printed iu a spirit of ridicule notably
the following.
A STECIMFX OF DARK WIT.
"Lately arrived fitmi Ethiopia, the won
derful and surpiising Dr. Renimhe Zam
manpoangn, oculist and body surgeon to
the Enijierorof Monemniigi, who -aill per
form on Sunday next, at the little T ,
in the Haymaiket, the following suip.is
ing operations viz. :
"First. He desires any one of the spec
tators only to pull out his own eyes, w hich,
as soon as he ban done, the Doctor will
show them to any lady or gentleman pies
ent, to convince thm there is no cheat,
and will then iepace them in the ckets
as jieifcct and eutiie as ever.
"Second. He desires any officer to tip
up his own belly, which when he lias done
he without any equivocation takes nut
his bowels, washes them, and retnrr.s them
to their place w ithout the person receiving
the least hint.
"Third. He opens the hendof.T of ,
F , takes out his brains, and exchanges j
them for those of a calf ; the brains of a
beau for those of an an ass ; and the heart
of a bull for that of a sheep ; which oper- 1
ations wil lender the ersons more socia
ble and rational cieatuies than they ever
were in their lives."
I.oxes foi th's extraordinary performance
were to cost five guineas : pit, thiee cuiu
eas; gallery, two guineas. Incredible as
it may seem, people wrote to the papeis in
which the adteiiisement was published, lo
ask if it was a hoax or not, ,4g there had
been several public disappointments of
late."
