The Montana election, alter com
plete returns, has gone democratic by
300 majority.
So goes the tide, and soon the last
restige of Grantism will be swept from j
the ceuntry. Next.
Congress.
Henry Sherwood, our present able
congressman, will undoubtedly be re
nominated. Clinton has pronounced
in his fitvor, and so did Centre last
week, Mr. Sherwood has proven him
self a useful member, even the repub
licans express themselves satisfied and
find no fhult with his record. It is
not often that a public servant ren
ders such universal satisfaction as did
Hon. Henry Sherwood, to the people
of the 18th district The democrats
can place no more popular gentleman
in the field. We believe that he will
receive many republican votes that
can be obtained by no other democrat
in this district tie is not connected
with the Washington plunder rings,
nor was he engaged in jobe. Every
honest man in the 18th district, owes
it to himself to vote for the re election
of Mr. Sherwood.
Who Got'uio S2OO.
We should like some one to Ull us
whether there is any truth io the
whisper, that S2OO were paid to a
democratic .paper in Centre county,
out of a fund raised bj the Grant
men in Washington city, immediately
after the Cincinnati convention, to hire
democratic papers to oppose Greeley's
nomination at Baltimore and stick
out for a straight nomination.
That such a fund was raised, every
body was aware of at the time, and if
S2OO of it found its way as a bribe to
a democratic paper in Centre coun
ty, to thus aid the prospects of Grant,
what paper get it? We are sure it
did not reach the REPORER office.
The singular conduct in certain quar
ters gives strong circumstantial evi
dence of ihe truth of such a whisper.
We make no charge, but ask for fur
ther light upon the matter.
W horn will the rmds of this county
set up to be knocked down ?
Onris will knock one sure.
Shafer will knock a second one.
Williams will give a third Jessie.
Morrison will finish a fourth,
Grenoble will scotch a fifth.
Hinton will mash a seventh.
Smith will audit the account by
squelching the eighth, and
Dr. Fisher will hold an inquest ov
er the whole as he draps the nintlrrad
ical sealawag.
We print a letter this week from
Germany, from one known to many
readers of the Reporter. We expect
an occasional letter from the same
quarter, which, with our regular let
ter! from distant India, also from one
who is known to most of our readers,
we trust will make the Reporter still
more acceptable to its patrons. Few
papers, outside the large cities, can
ooaai. of a corps of cerreeponnden
Sread over a wider field tha given
rough these columns fer several
yean past, taking in not only our own
distant£states ana teritories, but ex
tending to' Europe and Asia. We
can boast {also that the Reporter
is read {not only in every west
ern state and territory, but in Europe
and Asia it has its readen who
anxiously await its arrival with every
mail ana to whom it brings welcome
news.
Col. Mosbey and Spotted Tail still
hold out. for Grant. Hope tbe'yll
stick.
Some people were duped as to the
office of constitutional delegate, by
being told it was worth nothing. The
salary is S7OO, and with milage, sta
tionary, dec., rung it up to about SIOOO.
Grant's only reply to the reception
speech of Mayor ButUrfield of Utica
was, M I suppose lamto be the guest of
Senator Coekling."
Godey, for September, is brimful of
valuable matter for ladies, in ite fash
ion plates, patterns, and literary mat
ter, excelling all competitors.
Any (hug to Bent Greeley
J. Jtf. Edmunds is Grant's poetmae-l
ler at Washington and'secretary of the il
Grant congress campaign committee. 0
Desiring to serve his patron and him
self he is just now engaged in distribu- 8
ling Blanton Duncan's call for the ]
Louisville bourbon convention. A 1
letter accompanies the circular. It x
reads as follows:
Washington, I). C., July 80. 1872
—Dear Sir : Please send the enclos
ed circular to in your i
district who do not support Greeley I
and will co-operate in the Louisville
convention. Send me a list of such I
men in each county immediately.
D. M. Eon I'M*, i
Secretary, i
Who will say uow that ths bourbon '
movement is not in the interest of
Grant! The Washington Grant man
agers evidently so regard it.
lu a Fix.
Greeley's nomination by the liber
als and democrats, has left the radi
cals in a bad fix. They are mail, yet
dare uot let it out. They can t swear
at old Horace, openly, for they al
ways idoliied him before, and when
they say their damn, they must do it
privately, aud that afl'ords them so
little satisfaction.
The Tribune, once their favorite
paper, aud the one they swore by, has
goue back on them, and will uot en
dorse the corruptions of Grant's ad
ministration, and it makes theui mad
to read it now. All the good aud
honest republicans have left the Grant
camp and are over with the lib
erals and democrats uow, aud that
makes them mad. They cau l say
anything damaging against honeat old
Horace, and that makes them angry.
They hear democrats go unitedly for
Greeley, and that makes tbeui bite
j themselves with rage. They know
| that Greeley will put Ulysses out of
the white-house, and that makes theui
mad. They are iu a fix, and that
makes them mad.

The democratic county ticket, as
far as regards the personnel, Or vis,
Chafer, Morrison, Milliams, Grenoble,
Ac., gives general satisfaction —it is
conceeded on all hands, that better
men could not have been found. Rut
there is sdme discontent because this
side, which does the heavy democratic
voting, and which must furnish the
majorities, did not receive a single
thing, save auditor.
Well, may it not be our own fault!
We have the power in our own hands,
and if our people wish to have their
just dues, let tnem hereafter see to it,
and work together, insisting upon their
rights, and quit following the perni
cious advice of certain tricky politi
cians of Bellefonte, who use them to
be kept iu office continually—or else
let there be no grumbling afterwards.
There always were persons over here
who were delighted if they could only
be tacked to the shirt-tail of a wily,
smiling Bellefonte politician and were
never so happy as when they durst be
their cats-paws to secure them the offi
ces, in opposition to the wishes of our
honest democratic farmers and to the
exclusion, frequently, of other honeet
and deserving democrats who are too
aoble to stoop to secret schemes and
plots to secure a nomination. The
mass of the citizens of the townships
are honest, but they are often sold out
by the few tools among them. Indeed,
there are some so infatuated with this
love for Bellefonte that thev would
starve the Reporter—which has ever
defended the interests of this valley —
for the sake of being in favor with a
Bellefonte paper which repeatedly be
trayed and sold them out. We refer
to this merely byway of example, not
1 byway of complaint, as we conceed
• to every one perfect freedom in this
l thing, and are above harboring any
malice towards any one for a choice
which he has a perfect right to make,
' neither can we be deterred thereby
from pursuing a straightforward course
) in exposing wrong, we would rather
i sec the Reporter sink. To return to
our subject,. these tools would keep
certain tricking politicians in office all
the time, rather than see another hon
est and deserving democrat get a place.
: This has been complained of for years,
i by the honest democracy of this side,
and such characters there always will
be, who, cliquing with tricksters, will
sow seeds of disoootent io the party.
Let honest democrats, from this on,
resolve to put their feet upon office
seeking plotters and cliques, whosbun
daylight, and the harmony of the par
ty will be preserved. Fair-dealing,
not everything to a few. We will drop
this subject here, and call upon demo
crats to work with all their might for
the success of the party.

Hart rutin and the War Claims, wi
The Patriot continue* to reiterate m
its charge* of "neglect of duly." "dis
obedience to law* "and "criminal care* Jo
IcaanW in reaped to war claims, I
against General Hartranft, notwitb-l
standing the fact, known as well to the
Patriot a* to the public, that General
Hartranft had no control over the
vouchers, except as a temporary cus- j f
lodian, ami subject at anv time to the j s
orders of the executive.
Telegraph.
Granting, for the sake of argument, L
that General Hartranft was merely I #
tlio temporary custodian of the warL
claims vouchers, i# it not very clearL
that tho fiftieth section of the act „
of 1811 required him to report their h
unsettled condition to the legislature, K
as in the case of any other unsettled t
accounts! By that law he was requi- v
red to report anuuallv to the lcgisla- •
ture a list of unsettled account* in hit-
hands and the reasou therefor. Nov- I
erthelcss, during the four years that >1
those vouchers remained iu the custo- r
dy of the auditor geueral the lcgi.la- "
lure was kept in ignorauce of the ox- 1
istence of such claims. Such being *
the law and the facts, we again charge "
that General Hartranft, in tailing to
comply with the law of 1811, wa '
guilty of neglect of duty and dtsubo- '
dience of positive law, aud iu giving 1
to George O. Evans of over oue mi 111- '
on of valuable claims, without requir
ing from him any security whatever, 1
was uot criminal carelessness, we con
fess that we know not what is required
to constitute it.
It is very evidcut, however, that |
General Hartranft did uot regard him
self iu the light of a temporary custo- ■
dian of these vouchers. He testified
before the Evans committee that Geo. 1
O. Evans applied to him for tin-',
claims as early as 1808. Of course!
Evans did so ou authority of Governor
Geary, and as his agent, and, doubt-1
lees, he so stated to General Hartranft. j
If, therefore, General Hartranft, re
garded himself as the mere custodian
of the claims, why did he refuse to
give them to Evans ? Again, iu 1800.
George O. Evans presented himself to '
Geueral Hartranft, bearing a letter
from Governor Geary, in which that
officer requested that the auditor gene
ral would put these vouchers iuto 1
the hands of the bearer, his duly
authorised agent. This request Gene
ral Hartranft did not comply with.
If merely to tho custodian of these
vouchers, why this refusal ?
When, in 1870, the agent a third
time bore a letter from Governor
Geary to Hartranft, asking that these
vouchers be given to the bearer of the
letter General Hartranft states that he
reluctantly did so only wheu tho
agent assured him that Governor Gen
rv and his duly authorized agent were
the onlv persons who could collect
them. i)oes not this slate of facts
authorize us to add to our category of
serious charges against General Hart
ranft that of gross ignorance? For
the act which limited thq payment of
these claims to the governors of the
respective states, or their duly author
ized agents, was approved July 27.
1861. It is a legal maxim, that igno
rance of the law excuses no one, and
if ignorauce of the law on the part of
an ordinary person will not excuse
him, certainly a public officer cannot
escape the penalty which attaches to
such iguorance,and particularly when,
as in this case, his ignorauce of the
law | put in jeopardy over one million
of dollars of public money. That was
a poor plea of the auditor genera), to
shield himself from the charge of neg
lect of duty by pleading ignorance of
the law.
In addition to ali the foregoing, we
have the statement of General Hart
ranft, under oath, that he expected to
collect these claims himself before the
expiration of his term of office. If
only the temporary custodian, why
this expectation? If General Hart-
ranft could show that he had asked
Governor Geary to make him the
agent to collect these claims at any
time during the four years of his tem
porary custodianship, oi if he could
prove that he had once called the atten
tion of his Excellency to them, or that
he had complied with the law of 1811,
and reported their condition to the leg
islature. then the Patriot and the pub
lic would gladly withdraw the charges
of neglect of duty and disobcdiancc to
law. But the facts being as they are,
we have only to say to our neighbors,
the Telegraph, have a care how you
go! for neither the Patriot nor the
public will be satisfied with anything
short of the logic of facts. —Patriot.
Perverting the Record.
Althbugh it is not our special busi
ness to defend Mr. Buckalew from the
misrepresentation of the Cameron ring
organs, it is simply the duty of an in
dependent press to state the truth, i
even when it affects a political oppo- '
oeut. The Examiner avers that Mr. ,
liolcombe's report "says that he ( Mr. <
H.) had repeated interviews with ccr
tain parties, among whom were Buck .
alew and Black." Wo have an offici
al copy of that report betorc us, and it
says no such thing. Holcombe simply
says, "besides a crowd of less distin
guished persons I saw, during the
course of summer (in some instances
repeatedly) Governor Hunt," and oth
ers named, among whom were "Mr. i
Buckalew, Judge Black, and Mr. Van 1
Dyke, of Pennsylvania." The report '
says nothing about an "interview" 1
with Mr. Buckalew, who went to Can
ada, as we now find by a reference to ]
the records, as a member of the com- t
mittce on Indian Affairs, where he 1
was sent, with Messrs. Doolittle and ,
Wilkison, to inquire into the mode of t
treating the Indians in that country ; '
while Judge Black went at the request !
of Mr. Stanton, and with the sanction
of President Lincoln. n
If the Hartraufl ring organ was de- 'j
sirous of making votes for Mr. Bucka- ,
lew, it could not pursue a more effect
ual course to do so than by thus delib- J
eratel v falsifying records accessible to ,
any intelligcut citizen.—Lancaster <

Pitying off tlio Debt.
Boutwcll claims that nearly S3OO,- J
000,000 of the debt has been paid off r
by Grant in three years. Admitting 1
this to be so, what credit attaches to ~
GrantJ? These hundreds of millions <
certainly didn't come out of his breech- '
es pocket. No part or parcel of it was {
paid out of the bonds, houses, or mon- u
ey received by him in the form of *
presents from expectants of Presiden-
tial favor. It came from the pockets c
of the people in the shape of duties (l
and taxes.
This same Boutwcll was a member |>
of Congress, and in one of his speech- "
es in t)i House in Juno 1868, said $
that from the Ist of January 1860 to h
the Ist of January 1868, two years ®
and nine months, we have paid out of j]
the public Treasury one thousand five u
hundred and fifty two millions of mon- -
ey, of which one thousand and sixty
six millions were nil account of the b
public debt.
Now, as Andrew Johnson was n.
President during these two years and Ml
ui: -) months, it is plain that ho paid
off $384,000,000 per year—Mr. Bout-j a <

tainly true thai throughout the course of j
my life, a* far a ! have been connected |

ftry, impartial and universal liberty ; sec 11
ond, for the unity and grealne** of ourj*
common country ; third, and by IIU means tl
least, when the former end was attained, ©
for early and hearty reconciliation ami P
peace among our countrymen. Fur these a
great ends I have struggled, and 1 hope n
the issue of the third is not doubtful. 0
1 thoroughly comprehend that no per- j t
tonal coiitideratlon ha* drawn together e
thit vast asieuibly. Other, higher, and
grander consideration* have collected you t
around me to-day, (Cheer*.] Mr. Chair- (_
man, it i* a part of tlie unwritten law ot (,
our country that a candidate for President j
may not make speeches in vindication and j
commendation of the principle* whereupon f
ho i* supported, nor the measure* which j
hi* election is iutended to promote, though (
a candidate lor Vice-l'reaiUent is under no (
such inhibition. Ido not merely acquiesce %
in the restriction, 1 recognise and affirm
it* propriety. The temptation to mitre- ■
port aud niisiepreteiit a candidate lor the .
higher |ott i* to great, the meant of circu-
luting such perversion* among |>oop!ewho .
will never see a word of their refutation
are so vast, that a candidate has uo moral I
right to subject bis friends to the perils he *
must brave, if uot invite, by taking a part '
in the run vast. (Cheers.) Rut there is a 1
truth to be Uttered in behalf of those who '
have placed uio before the American poo- ,
pie in my present attitude, which doe*
them such honor that 1 claim the privilege
of slatiug it here and now.
j No Offices Promised to Auy Due.
I This is that truth : No person ha* everj'
' made the fact that he proposed to support, |
' or actually did support my nomination, j
| whether at Cincinnati, at Baltimore, or in j
the action which resulted in sending dele-,
gate* to either Conventions, the bast* of a
claim to oßce at my hand. No one who
: favored my nomination before either Con-
I ventioit, or at either Convention, has
sought office at my hand* either for him-j
self or any one else , nor ha* any one tug-'
gested to me that 1 might strengthen my-j,
self a* a candidate by promising to appoint!
| any one to any important office whatever.
(Loud cheer*.] In a very few instances— j
le* than a dozen, 1 am sure—certain of
| the smaller fry of politicians have, since
| my double nomination, hinted to me by
' letter that I might increase my chance of
election by promising a post-offlcs or'
some other place to my volunteer eorros
! pondvut* respectively. 1 have not usually j
responded to those overtures, but 1 now j
give a general notice that, should I be
elected, 1 will consider the claims of these!
untimely aspirant* after those of the more
modest and reticent shall hare been fully
satisfied. (Loud Cheers.]
In tv.o or three instance* 1 have been ;
asked to say whether 1 would or would ;
not, if elected, confine my appointments
to Republican*. 1 answer tbe*e by point
ing to that plank of the Cincinnati plat-,
form wherein all who concur in the prinri
pies therein set forth are cordially invited
to partici|>ale in their establishment and
vindication. 1 never yet heard of a man
who invited hi* neighbor* to help him
raise a house, and proceeded to kick them
out of it so sou.i a* the roof was fairly over
hi* head. F<r my own part. I recognize :
•very honest man who approve* and ad
here* to the Cincinnati platform as my'
political brother, and a* such fully entitled
to my confidence and friendly regard.
No Pledge to the South Save his Rec
ord on Amnesty.
One other points demands a word. Those
adverse to me ask what pledges I have
given to these lately hostile to the Union
to secure their favor and support 1 ans
wer ; No manor woman in ail the South
ever asked of me.jeitheridirectly or through
another, any other pledge than is given in
all my act* and words from the hour of
Lee's surrender down to this moment
No Southern man ha* ever hinted to me
1 , an expectation, hope, or with that the lleb
-1 el debt, whether Confederate or Stale,
i should be assumed or paid by the Union ;
1 and no Southern man who could he elcct
• to a Legislature or made colonel of a
v | militia regiment ever suggested the pen
j i lioning of Rebel soldier* or any of them,
j oven a* a remote possibility. All who
f i nominated me were perfectly aware that
. | I had upheld and Juttificd Federal legit
. lation to suppress the Ku-Klux conspira
cy and outrage* ; though 1 had long ago
f inited, a* *trcnuou*|y as I now do, thai
I complete amnesty and genuine oblivion of
i the bloody, hateful past would do more
*! for the suppression and utter extinction
1 j of such outrage* than all the force bill*
and suspicion* of .habeas corpus ever de
vised by man. Wrong (and crime must
' be suppressed and punished, but far wiser
' and nobler i* the legislation, the policy,
, by which they are prevented. (Loud
cheering.]
From those who support me in the South
I have heard but one demand—Julicc ;
■ one desire—Reconciliation. They with to
' be heartily reunited and at peace with the
North, on any terms which do not involve
a surrender of tbeir manhood. They atk
that they shall be regarded and treated
by the federal authorities a* citizen*, not
culprit*, to long as they obey and uphold
every law consistent with equity and right
Tfc-iy desire a ru(e which, alike for white
and black, shall encourage, industry and
thrift, and discourage rapactity and vil
lainy. They (cherish a joylul hope, in
which 1 fully concur, that between the 6th
of November and the 4th of Mareh next
quite a number of the Governor* acd other
dignitaries who, in (tho abused names of
Republicanism and loyalty, have for year*
been piling debts and taxes upon their
war-wasted Stale* will follow the whole
some example of Bullock of Georgia, and
seek tho shades of privato life. The dark-!
er and denser thoso shades the bolter for
thcnpolvct and for mankind. And tho
the hopo that njy election may j
hasten this much desired hegira ofl
tho thieving carpet-baggers, has recon
ciled to the necessity of supporting me,
many who would othcrwiso have hesitated
and probably refused. [Load cheering ]
The National Verdict for Reform.
Fellow Citizens: Tho deposed and par
tially exiled Tammany King has stolen
about $30,000,000 from the City of Now
York. That was a most gigantic robbery,
and burled its contrivers and abettors from
power and splendor to impotency and in
famy ; but the thieving carpet-bagger*
have stolen at least thrice this amount
stolen it from thu already impoverished
and needy. *"4 l, icy still flaunt their pros
perous villainy in tbp high places of
tho land, and are addrossod as Honorable
and Kxcollency. 1 think 1 hoar a voico
from tho honest people of all the State*
declaring that this iniquity shall bo gain- (
ful and insolent uo longer, at farthest, g
than to the 4th ot March next. By that ,
time theso criminals will have hoard ana- j
tional verdict pronounced that will cause ,
thorn to fold thoir tents like the Arabs and
silontly steal away, and that I trust will
be tho end of their stealing at the cost el
the good name of our country and tho well
being of her people. [Loud and long con- ,

The Pickett Confederate ArrhiTea
—An Kxprewtlon from Jefferson 1
Davis.
The New Orleans Picayune of July
1 26, eays:
Our special correspondent at Wash
ington city has telegraphed the Pica-,*
yuue that iu the so-called Confederate' 1 ,
j official archieves, lately purchased by , t
the government from Colonel Pickett 1
J(who claims to hare been in the Con- ]
t'ederata Diplomatic Service), there is 1
a letter alleged to be from Jacob 4
Thomjwou, of Mississippi, to Hon. J. J
B. Benjamin, which the Washington
special* to the Northern press have '
represented as showing that Thompson 1
was the regular authorized agent of •
the Confederacy with Clay, Holcombe „
and Saudets as associates to procure
the buruing of New York, Philadel
phia, St. Louis and Cincinnati, aud to (
organise a counter revolution at the ,
North. Hence the SL Albans raid, i
Our Washington correspondent claim* '
jto know personally that those state-
menu arc false in many respects, as he t
was cognizant of the operations of the 1
Confederate agents in Canada, aud be \
charges that the "specials" have not ]
even given the contents of this alleged '
letter as published on the 24tb, as a ']
campaign document by the Grant and "
Wilson National Committee. We '
were informed a couple of days since,
on the best authority, that lion. Jeff- j
erson Davis has spoken to a friend 1
about these Pickett* "Confederate ar- '
chive*." Mr. Davis desires the publi- '
cation of theeo pretended documeot*.
He is not afraid for any document to'
which he aud his Cabinet gave their
assent, to be placed before the world.
He savs no such plan ever went from
the Confederate executive office, or
from any officer in charge of a depart
ment of the Confederate government.

, Simon Cameron himself pay* $1,1)00,000.
The election of Buckalew hero in October!
would be fatal to the success of Grant in
, November. Desperate extremities must'
he retorted to, and they are at hand. It is
notorious that ihoCity of Philadelphia has
, at any time since the war boon Democratic
11 on a fair count; but tho Registry law of,
that city, passed by a Radical Legislature,'
in the interest of the ring, has made anj
honest vote iin|Hisblc, where the Board of
Aldermen is obliged to appoint a Demo- j
. crat, either for registration, or in the elec
tion board they select their man, and pay!
him for keeping his eyes shut Cameron
ha* already made his own ticket in Phila
delphia. \V. B. Mann, in the meeting of
tho State Central Committee, called for the
purpose of nominating another candidate'
for Governor, and throwing Hartranft over!
to appease the wrath of the whole, declar- {
od that the city would give 16,(100 Kepubli-j
j can majority, and ho knows how it can ba
done. So do we, though we remain pew-j
cries# to prevent it
The Po*lmalcr of this place ha* been
authorized to draw ii}K>n the funds for
$6,000, t<> wager upon the success of Hart- {
rnnft. This it a good game ot bluff, and ,
they play it well. Cameron's czperienco
in buying votes, and fraudulently count
ing others unpurchatable, place* bit inten
tion, if not his ability, beyond reason for
denial. As such i* the game, let Pennsyl-1 1
van la be ready.
Grant's hangers-on, after spending
vast sum of money to prevent tho demo- ,
crat* ondoriing Greeley, now, since they 1
found to few that would bo bought to slick '
for a ctraightrout ticket, are making up a |
purse of fivu million dollar*; to carry i
Pennsylvania. In another column we
copy a disclosure rnnde by a World cor- -

working with his gold. Simon himself „
