The only charge made against Han
cock by the Republican pi ess that will
fti-, is tlie one that he was b.idly woun
ded at Gettysburg just lt'ore the vic
tory was won.
The people are running Hancock's
campaign with a will, and after the elec
tion the unholy work of Returning
Hoards in the South, like Othello's oc
cupation, will be gone.
Chester A. Arthur, the Republi
can candidate for Vice President, is out
in a letter accepting the nomination, and
luilirinsr from its content n,l il, i,a;e

of the man.
"e IHsea to
doubt that he is the
Arthur of it.
It would be simply a useless waste of
time to reason with an organ like the
Johnstown Tribune, whose editor inva
riably acts on the convenient but vicious
doctrine laid down in Hudibras, that "a
lie well stuck to is as good as the truth."
The Democratic convention of Hutler
county h is nominated the veteran editor,
Jacob Zeigler, for the State Senate. The
district, which is comixised cf the coun
ties of Butler and Armstrong, is Repub
lican, but with so opu!ar and strong a
candidate as "Fnele Jake" would un
doubtedly make (no rhyme intended) we
entertain a firm conviction that the "old
man" could pull safely through.
The population of Pennsylvania, ac
cording to the new census, is 4,220,0!i9,
showing an increase of twenty percent,
in ten years. There is only one county
(Venango) which shows a decrease in
population, while in a large nnmlier of
counties the increase is insignificant.
The largest increase is in MeKean coun
ty, caused by the opening up of what is
known as the Bradford oil district.

Altjiovoh the Republican press keeps
upa constant cannonade upon Hancock's
lsition, every piece it Las yet trained
has managed to burst at the first dis-
charge, playing fearful havoc with the
gunners. Judge Black's positive denial ,
from London that he either wrote, or saw ,
Hancock's order No. 40, or any of his
other orders issued at New Orleans, scat- i
tered destruction and death along the ;
whole Republican line. They then load- ! House, and in regard to Mr. Garfield's
ed a rifled cannon with the charge that j transaction with Oakes Ames, a Repub
after the last Fresidential election Han- ! lican member of Congress from Mr.ssa-
cock wrote a letter to Gen. Sherman in
which he said that if Congress declared
Tilden elected he (Hancock) would obey
his orders and not the orders of Hayes.
This was pronounced incipient revoluion
and treason most foul. But now Gen.
Sherman, who was at Jamestown, Da
kota Territory, on Wednesday of last
week, emphatically states that he has no
recollection of ever having received any
such letter from (Jen. Hancock. In a
conversation the other day Hancock said:
"I have never written anything in my
life of which I am ashamed," and even
if he had written to Gen. Sherman what
the Republican press imputed to him, it
would have been sound doctrine in the
absence of the passage of the act estab
lishing the Electoral Commission. The
latest charge against Hancock is that
while he was stationed at Xew Orleans
he one day invited Gen. Reauregard to
dine with him that before doing so
Beauregard insisted that Hancock should
take down his headquarters' flag, and
that Hancock, to avoid offending him,
complied with his request. Reauregard
declares there is not one word of truth
in the story, and that he was never in
vited to dine with General Hancock. A
man who would charge a soldier like
Hancock with hauling down the Ameri
cin flag, at the dictation of an ex-rebel
officer, hasn't brains enough to know
when to come in out of the rain.
In a recent letter of Gen. McClellan
to a Veteran Club in Plainfield, X. J.,
he said : liGen. Hancock did so much to
insure the success of the war, knew so
well what it was for, and perceived so
clearly when ic was over, that he de
serves the hearty and enthusiastic sup
IK)it of all the old soldiers." How accu
rately General McClellan s words about !

the war was over," describes him as a
military commander at Xew Orleans

who understood and boldly recognized
the constitutional doctrine of the su
premacy of the civil over the military
Iower in time of peace. The man who
announced to the; eople of Louisiana
and Texas, that "the right of trial by
jury the haleas corpus the liberty of
the press fhe freedom of speech the
natural rights of persons, and the rights
of property must be preserved," did more
to sustain the true principles of consti
tutional liberty than Garfield has ever
done during his whole eighteen years of
service in Congress. -It was because
Hancock gave utterance to these and
kindred views that he was speedily re
moved from his office. Time, however,
makes all things even, and the Ameri
can ixople will now seize the opportun
ity to vindicate the soldier who was not
afraid to proclaim his devotion to the
constitution and laws of his count rv.

Gen. Garfield appeared before the
committee of investigation into the
Credit Mobilier scandal on the 14th of
January, 1873, and stated under oath as
follows :
I neve owned, received, or agreed to rtceive
any utock of the Credit Mobilier or of the Union
Pacific Railroad, nor any dividends or profits
arising from either of them.
One month later, February 18th, the
committee made their report to the
chusetts, who was the active agent in
distributing the stock of the company
among Congressmen with whom it would
do the most good, as I.e swore before
the committee, said :
The facts in regard to Mr. Garfield, as
found by the committee, are that w agreed
with Mr. Ames to take ten shares of Credit
Mobilier stock, but did not pay for the same.
Mr. Ames received the eighty per cent, di
vidend in bonds and sold them for ninety-seven
per cent, and also received the sixty per
cent, cash dividend, which, together with the
price of the stock and interest, left a balance
of f:29. This sum was paid over to Mr. Gar
field by a check on the sergeant-at-aims, and
Mr. Garfield then understood this sum vas the
balance of dividends after paying for the stock.
The committee consisted of five mem
bers, three of whom, a majority, were
Republicans, viz : Luke I Poland, of
Vermont ; X. P. Banks, of Massachu
setts, and George W. McCrary, of Iowa,
late Secretary of War. Gen. Garfield
stands charged, therefore, in this report
with having taken a bribe from Oakes
Ames in the shape of ten shares of Credit
Mobilier stock without paying.for them.

soon more than paid Ames the price of
the stock, $1,000, and enabled him to
hand

d oer to Garfield the balance due
, 5320. If this is a false and slander-
him
ous charge, who m;tde it and who are
responsible for it? Not a Democratic
committee of Congress, nor a Deinoerat-
I ic newspaier, but three Republican
1 memliers of Congress Poland, Banks
! and McCrary all of whom were the in
timate friends and associates of Garfield
himself. Mr. Garfield has never made
any satisfactory explanation of tli is ac
cusation against him by the committee,
and the only reply his organs make to it.
is that it is "a Democratic lie." The
leople, however, demand something

canvass by the nomination of Hancock. He
wore the bloody shirt when it cost one's life to
wear it, and it" cannot be used now by men

; Held lias declared repeatedly that he is for

t vices in public life for free trade that he has
received the unusual honor, foran American,
, of being elected a member of theCobdeii Free

died from this disease produced by the toe

towns come similar reports, so that the list is
; distressingly long. H is to be hoped that the
lesson will not be lost upon paprents, altho'
it is a fact that in some of the cases the lads
; obtained the pistols s, cu lly and in violation

Philadelphia, July 18, 1880.
To the Editor of the Cambria Freeman :
Your correspondent was prevented from
sending his weekly cnntrit.ution for the last
issue tv a complication ot causes.
He was
not only greatly enervated by the excessive
liot weather, but suffered from neuraliria and
rheumatism, had the toothache, stomach ache,
and was otherwise not very well himself. 1 le
was indeed in a very demoralized condition.
To make his unpleasant position still more
unpleasant, an arrnirant real estate auent had
the effrontery to make offensive insinuations
alx.ut arrearages of house rent. Your cor
respondent could have stacirorc.l under this
heavv burden and dished up si.nu-t hiniz for
the Freeman, had it not leen for the utter
ance of two simple words, mere inonosvlables,
by a small Iwiy. Your correspondent has had
during his long pilgrimage through the world
many unpleasant encounters with men ami
women, but never was he so sorely iliseom
titted as in this instance by a mere child.
Never In-fore were my tender fcelimrs so ter
ribly lacerated and my sensitive nature so se
verely shocked.
HOW THE HOY SH(X'KED ME.
Tie is a bright, handsome little boy, the son
of in- neighbor, and he told me that his papa,
an uglv, bad man, had a tight about a Sena-
i tor, and he asked me if I would please tell
mm what a Jsenator was, ami what it looked
like. Heing all my life happy to impart in
forination, when requested to do so, I com
menced to describe that great functionary to
the boy. I told him that the average Senator
was a 'man with a full stomach, false teeth,
a bald head, and generally past the meridian
of life, who stood with irotttv insecurity on
his slender legs, but who, when seated at tin
j bottom of that architectur.il "punch bowl"
j ."ed tl"' Senate Chamber, surroim I by a
: frtVL-il lit to linn in I Imrl 11 it It n Tufi it 1 1 v In ...If
as if he had not lived in vain. I told him that
a Senator was a man of such great dignity
that he impressed one with the !clief that he
sleeps in Roman toga for a night-shirt and
with a lahcrty cap lor a night cap. ami never
1 for a moment losing the pose of a statesman, i
, Tho ,,y .,.,.,, t ,,.; !1S j .ollhl, witn !
great respect and attention, and I was feeling j
intensely happy indeed proud that I was
i competent to describe the great functionary
! so perfectly, and imagined the sensitive little
i heart of the dear little boy was swelling with
! admiration of a Senator, w hen to my great
I astonishment and intense mortification, the
' boy turned on his heel and in the most con-
tempt nous manner blurted out, "Oh sh '."
! a me, where is thy blush?

, The crime against society which John IJu
j chanan, of this city, has perpetrated, the ex
i posure of which is solely due to the unsparing
i efforts of the llecord. is one of the most awful
that can lc conceived. The crime of sending
, forth ignorant and vicious charlatans
and
I arming them with authority which places
i them in the most sacred relations w ith suffer
ing humanity, is horrible to contemplate.
I There are oyer ll.'MHi bogus diplomas from
Huchanan's institution scattered throughout
the world. The amount of fraud which Ibi
, chanan has perpetrated is almost incalcula-
ble. The Record has revealed the fact of a

I practices were most detestable and utterly
; wicked, and no man could be brought in con
; tact with the hypocrisy and villainy of Uu
i cliauan's scandalous establishment.
A DIVISION OF THK STATK.
j Some time ago I spoke of a project being
. in view about a division of the ."state, and
j which, it seems, was not a mere surmise of
my own. for now it appears that there is a
; scheme on the part of a number of leading
I Kepublicali politicians throughout this com
; liioiiwcalth to divide it into two States, think
'. ing that both would be b'epublican. Tlie
Susquehanna river is to form the natural
boundary hetween the two States, and the
next session of the Legislature is expected to
; complete the work. Many of the Republican
1 leaders are in favor of the division, because
the parties who have this scheme in hand
have made an estimate of the political com
plexion of both commonwealths and find that '
both will be Republican. Tbev have taken
the Presidential election of ls.iias a basis, 1
but after the Presidential election of lsso they '
will have to change their base. .
THAT KAMlU S SKIHMISHINi; Fl Ml. j
There appears tube a good deal of skir- ,
mishing to lind out anything about that fa- :
1 moils Irish .skirmishing fund which is believed '
at this time to aggregate sioii,iio.i. The ti ns- ,
tees decline to make any explanation as to '
the disposition of the money, or whether any '
of it is left or not. They iave learned tha't '
silence is golden. This is not the skirmishing I
that was originally intended.

requirements urn! attributes of perfect man- '
hood, of unswerving loyalty, unselfish dovo- :'
lion ami intrepid gallantly, he is ant to make
a note of it. and hence I take this occision t..
say that .Major Veah; is the hero of twenty
battles, in every one of. which he displayed
great gallantry and became conspicuous 'for i
intrepid courage. From tirst to last, through !
all the dangerous vicissitudes of the war of the
rebellion, he was ev er found w here deat h and '
danger raged the fiercest. He :,eto. ,,, as
many others did, to let the opportunity of one j
battle sullice him. but on every occasion ex
hibited the most daring ami conspicuous gal- i
lantry until his name" became proverbial in i
the old White Star Division as the synonym
of all that was fearless and daring. He was I
severely wounded in battle, and at Pine Knob I
a ball passed entirely through his IhkIv and i
right lung, from which it was thought he j
could never recover. This occurred in June, !
and in Novemlier he was again with his com- :
; manu. lie was earlv and permanently at- ;
tached to the staff of Gen. John W. Geary '
and was in every light in which that division i
participated. Gen. b-ary characterized him
as the "bravest of the brave," and General
; Kane made mention of him with high com-
1 lnemlation for gallantry, while Gen. Hooker 1
I and Slocum especially referred to his soldierly '
' qualities and marked gallantry in their re- !
I orts. His name has also been mentioned i
, again and again with strong recommendation
in (onerai timers, ih-sides Ix-m" a disfm-
giiislied soldier. Major Vealeis a ric scholar '
j a fine orator, an able lawyer, a man of great '
1 moral v.-orth. spotless integrity of character ;
i and withal a modest man. " '

I The announcement the other day that the i
; law had been avenged in the execution in '
: New ork of Chastine Cox. the murderer of ;
) Mrs. Hull, brought to mind the report made '
; some tune ago that the soul of th;,t co'd
, hloodciljinurderer was in a fine condition, and I
i that the angels were preparing a crown a !
harp and a special seat for him in heaven If
this is true, if it is nearly the case, that Para
j ,,IS'' oix'iis its pearly gates with a rush and '
I accepts the cold-blooded assassin with cor- '
I dialilv. and that the pietic intercourse Ik- :
j tvveen the angelic hosts and the executed '
, murderer begins at once, it is con, foiling for
; a bloody butcherer to know that he can go di- 1
' rect from g'rre to ulory.

: the peach emporium of the Peninsula is that
the crop of peaches this year promises to be !
I larger than last year, when the orchard ship- i

THE POLITICAL 11ATTIF.
While Dill is listening to the sou murmur
of the Susquehanna at Iewisl.ure. Cessna is '
rusticating in the salubrious atmosphere of ;
the Alletlhenies at Red ford, anil it is thought '
that not until the 1st of Autrust will thesetwo
political chieftain unfurl their headquarter .
flags in 1 Iiilaueipma. In the meantime much
is lieme done m the ritv bv the workers of !
: lth narties ami e rvlhimr now Koints tn an i
. unusually tiestwrate contest in tfiis city. It
Will IH' lint K HM'KIIU UorilS Wn U , rreCK. .Al- :
though the Republicans have three-fourths of
the election I wards and the machinery neces
sary to run them all in their favor, they will
1m- "met by the most defiant I lenioeratioariiiy
they ever before encountered. The largest
vote by many thousands ever given in Phila
delphia will be given in N'ovcmlter next. The
city Democrats look for a triumph in the State,
and will contest Republican supremacy step
by step. The Democratic masses of tlie city
are eager for the conflict, and have hopes for
jwiwer and position to which they have long
ljccn strangers. They have happy visions
and great faith in the 'Hancock star. What
ever conflicts the leaders of factions have in
store for themselves in the future, they will
work together squarely in the party harness
in the present Presidential contest. "Factious
wrath will le smothered and each faction will
work for the victory they feel confident of
achieving. The entire De'mocratic rank and
file of the city feel confident of carrying the
State and Nation, and woe to any Democratic
leader who blocks the way to victory. The
masses are in no temper to Ik- trifled with,
and of this the belligerent leaders are well
aware.
Some of fhe Republican followers are in
clined to sulk, and are not so ready for battle
as their leaders, but the Republicans in this
city have a thorough organization, skilled and
desperate commanders, abundant resources
to pay the indifferent and enlist the venal,
and have also a great reserve of patriotic vo
ters who arc always ready to swallow all the
inventionsand villainies of the machine rather
than hear the Democratic shouts of victory;
and although it looks at this time ns if the
Republican party will be defeated in Phila
delphia and even thrown in the State, it will
fall fighting desperately and die in violent
throes. ;. y. s.

HOW TO
GET Clothing
under Price.
If we could sell a
more of this and a little
ie?
of ti.at, we could make
things come out even "Jr
last man that came in vouL
carry off the last suit: Ir
we can't. Out of ever
stock there are a great mar.;
sizes left when some ar
gone. The best we can d
witli these incomplete assor
ments is to mark them !:
enough to set a great rr.ar.
people looking among the:
for banrains.
This we do every day r:
this time of year; and ju
now we have enough
such to stock a little store.
Besides, odd parts of su: '
get left coats, vests ax
trousers. We liave a roo:
In which there is nothh
else. There is in that roc
cheaper clothing than y
have any notion of. We c,
it the Bargain-Room.
These marked-down su
and garments are of .
sorts ; they may be amo:
the best in the store.
We force a continual cle:
ance of such articles '
would only embarrass vi
and keep our stocks ahva;
fresh and full.
