The Lancaster Express, an old Re- ]
publican paper, can not go lor Hart- j
ran ft, because he is the Cameron ring
candidate, and it brings six specific 1
counts against him, which the radical
press have not yet answered. Tho
Express says on the 6th of August the
lettter of Senator Billingfelt, on re
tiring from the .Congressional canvass
in Lancaster county was published.
In that letter he said he retired from
the canvass "in order that I may be
left free to oppose what I believe is
wrong in principle and at variance
with the true iuterests of the Republi
can party andjthe Commonwealth at
large." What he was thus "left fret 1 j
to oppose" he clearly expressed iu the j
following six specific charges :
1. That "tbe Auditor General has
permitted the practice of a system in
his department of settling some of the
meet important public accounts with
out requiring duly authenticated or
properlv qualified vouchers, to which
no pruJent business man in his indi
vidual transactions would submit."
This is ajdireat, specific charge of mal
feasance in office, which, if denied, Sen
ator BLliingfelt is ready to prove by
official documents.
2. That "our State war claims
against the General Government,
amounting to nearly three millions of
dollars, were permitted too long to
slumber in the hands of irresponsible
parties, and all information in regard
to the same, such as the plain act of
Assembly requires, withheld by the
AuditonGeneral from the public and
denied to individuals who had the
right to demand such information, un
til public opinion throughout the en
tire commonwealth was aroused to in-
dignation in consequence of this neg
lect of official duty."
This is a specific charge which Gen.
Hartranfl, or no one authorized to
speak for him, has attempted to deny,
and which Mr. Billingfelt stands
ready to prove.
That "The Sinking Fund, of
which the Auditor Geuera! is one
the three Commissioners, aDd who
holds the balance of power in the
Board, has been used, to a large ex
tent, by individual favorites for spec
ulative purposes, instead of being ap
plied to the purposes for which it was
solely created—The extinguishment
of the public debt."
This is a grave specific charge of a
high misdemeanor in office, which, if
sustained in a court of justice, would
subject the guilty party to a fine and
imprisonment, and deposition from of
fice. Senator Billingfelt knows the
facts, and is prepared to prove them
whenever they are denied.
4. That "due diligence has not
been used, nor have proper efforts
been made, to 'reduce our State debt
as rapidly as the funds in the treasury
may justify,' as both the law and a
proper regard for the interests of the
public require.
Gen. Hartranft took a solemn oath
to truly and faithfully perforin the
duty which Senator Billingfelt here
specifically charges him with neglect
ing. He is prepared at any time to
meet the issue on an appeal to the of
ficial documents.
5. That "overiive millions of our state
loans have for some time been over
due and still bearing interest, while,
according to official reports, there has
been for years an average unexpend
ed balance of over a million and a
half of doNars in the State Treasu
ry."
This is a specific charge, and it is
moreover a notorious fact, which has
been sustained by official documents.
6. That "upon several occasions ef
forts were made to secure legislation
which, had they been successful, would
have increased the public debt mil
lions of dollars, and aecreased the as
sets in the Sinking Fund millions more.
It is well known to the public that the
Republican candidate for Governor
recommended the former, and the can
didate for Auditor General was con
spicuous in the latter attempt."
Here is a specific charge against
General Hartranft and bis associate
on the State ticket, which Senator
Billingfelt is prepared to sustain
ahcntvcr called upon to do so.
/ibw can Gen. Hartranft and his
friend* expect honest men to vote for
him co long a* he permit* such a
damning indictment to hang over hie
head unchallenged T
Surely, if he is an honest man and
has a clean official record, three weeks
time ought to'he enough lor him to
prepare such a vindication as would
satisiV all reasonable men that the
foregoing indictments cannot be sus
tained !

- RIGHT.— Tbe nomiuatiou of Johu
H. Or vis. Esq.. for Assembly by the
democrats of Centre county, is emi
nently proper. Fill our Legislature
with gentlemen of his ability, and cor
ruption and special legislation will
be the exception aud not the rule.
I We will lie very much mistaken if Mr.
I Orvis' ability will not place him in the
front rank in the House, aud after
one term the leader, unless better ma
terial is selected for members of that
body thau has heretofore graced it
from a majority of the counties. —
Clearfield Republican.
( The Grautites of this county had
I considerable difficulty to get material
to serve upon their ticket; they seut
out drummers in all . directions to
I coax men to accept a nomination, and
I met with little success. But they
[have fixed upon some gentlemen, no
l/eas rolene, aud set them up to be
' i knocked down. The majority of their
[nominees feel like declining, and we
{would advise them to do so'at oace.
| We know it was tho wish of tbe better
thinking portion of the republicans
on this side, that no nomination be
made by their [>arty for Assembly.
They thought it due to the eminent
talent, worth aud fitness of our nomi
nee, Johu 11. Orvis, that he be elected
without opposition, and we shall not
be surprised if the result in October
tell that there was no opposition ; he
will at all events, get a large share of
republican votes, and the solid vote
of the democracy. He will make an
honest representative ; his abilities
will make him the terror of the rings,
and our people think, and rightly too,
that Mr. Orvis should be sent there,
i backed by a vote of confidence. Tbe
i pledges Mr. Orvis made in bis speech,
: in the court-house, on Tuesday even-
I of last week, he will be faithful too, as
every one knows who knows the man. l
The Berichterly bewails not having
I received any extra funds for some
i years. Its memory is short. We
think our honest and faithful county
treasurer, Col. Weaver, and thedemoc.
racy generally, have an idea that it
was hired only last fall to injure the
Colonel's election, and thus assist a
radical candidate. The $250 Is a big
thing ou ice ; but we can't give you
more notice gratis, a we require 15
cents per line in advance for noticc
ing one wbo stands 4s a pitiable am
bush for P. G. M. to fire from and
who boasts of bis control over the
profound chap of the Berichterly. j
Our mention that Grant funds had
been used upon pretended democratic
papers seemed to bit and cause a
squeal, in a quarter which wc did not
have in our mind when we wrote it,
and which wc did not know was so
prominent that it was vulnerable to a
random shot from our pop-gun, hence
we'll be keerful hereafter.
A. B. Hutchinson, a former radical
leader and orator of this county, now
living in Kansas, don't traiu with the
GraDt crowd, but goes for old Hor
ace.
The committee of radical wet-uuru
es, scut from Beliefoote, last week, to
sec Andy Curtio, aud offer liim the
uomiuatiou for congress, if he'd stick
to Grant, came back like from a fune
ral. Tbey saw Andy, but Andy could
not see it.
Minister Curtiu is ill, ami his phy
sicians have advised him to go to Sar
atoga. We think Grant has soured
somewhat on Andy's stomach, and
that's what's the matter.
Spotted Tail has not yet changed
and thus heads the list of important
personages who arc for Grant
Wilson denied having been a know
nothing, and now the thing is out ou
hiru. Bo grant and Wilson have both
been caught in fibs.
In 1860 the United States Army
cost the people 816,001,167. In 1871
it cost 844,080,085. In 1860 the
Navy coßt the pe0p1e511,513,150; one
million and a half of which was for
new vessels. In 1871 it cost 819,431,-
027, with not a cent for new vessels.
i/erc we discover a difference in
items of expenditure for a single year,
of 835,986,795, in favor of James Bu
chanau's Democratic Administration
over U. S. Grunt Radical rule.
These arc facts which the Secretary
of the Treasury cannot cover up with
all his proverbial cunning. They are
too palpable to escape the notice of
any but the wilfully blind.
The Lawrence Tribune thinks
grapes will be so plentiful this season
that they will be sold for two cents a
pound.
Had. Co Convention

son and Yooum wanted it. After
which followed a lively tight between

ditlercul gentlemen named, in which
also some admierers of Curtin joined,
who thought Andv should le the nom

A pertinent illustration of the man
ner iu which Graut pays the office
holders, who be Jepcnds upon to keep
him iu office for another term, can be
drawu from the First ami Second Dis
tricts of Texas. In the First district |
the amount of revenue collected in
1871 was $38,887 27. Cost of col
lecting the same, #21,000 ; cost for
collecting nearly fifty-four per cent
Amount of revenue collected iu the
Second district, §20,320 09. Cost of
( collecting the same, §21,000, or over
seventy per ceut. When the whole
'' transaction is summoned up il appears
.; that the whole amount collected in the
districts named was §07,206 95, out of
which the government jmt §25,256,90,
and Grant's officeholders aud elec
-1 tioneerers §42,00. This is a fair il
lustration of the manner in
-' people are being robbed in order, to
1 re-elect General Grant and pcrpetu
i | ate the Ban Domingo aud £>ew York
' General Order "King*," with their
. thieving dependents. We do not be-
L live the people are willing to {pay so
heavy a price lor another four years
I of General Grant's administration.
t Grant's Beef-Eaters iu North Caro
r Una.
i The receipt# from tba four articles
f still remaining to be taxed of inter
, nal revenue in the Seventh District
of North Carolina in 1871 were as fol
-1 lows:
' From spirits 116,671.25
■ From tobacco 2,080.34
, From fermented liquors....
, From banks
Total collection 818,751.59
Amount appropriated in 1872-3 for
collecting the above was 816,000,
1 which is a fraction over 85 per cent on
the collection. Or, in otner words,
the Treasury receives $2,751.55 and
Grant,* beef-eaters receive $16,000.

We regret that as long a* Auditor Gene
ral Hartranfl was on the stand boforo the
Evans Investigating Committee he did not
tell all he know concerning the affair.—
Pittsburg Gazette.
Your committee have not language suf
ficiently strong to express their disappro
bation of s bold an outrage, or fitting
terms in which to characterize those in of
ficial position who seek t>> palliate or ex
cuse the Wrong.—Hon. J as. Graham.
If thev are not disproved [charges
against llartranfl] they will be accepted at
true by the people. It will not do to make
Hartranfl our candidate.—Pittsburg Dis
patch.
They cannot hut express their disappro
bation of the looseness of official routine
that places in the hands of Evans over a
million of dollars of valuablo assets with
out requiring from him any security what
ever—Hon. Harry White.
Evans collected $1M,1i.04 and retained
the whole. State officials knew this fact for
three years before it became public, and
tho neglect to report the transaction to the
legislature is regarded by us as a gross de
reliction of official duty.—Hon. D. N.
White.
"For some years past I have boon ac

same J. 11. Hartranfl han caused to bo de

clared under oath; "That this deponent
did pay to J. F. Hartranfl, Auditor Gene
ral, on the 10th of December, 1870, the
sum of $'2,700, which sum was derived from
profits on purchases of loss an of the Com

Sinking Fund, which sale was madoonthe
20th of April, 1870. That said dimoncnt

lon.
We mut ltav ' the truth, the whole t
ruth and nothing but the truth in refer- 1
nice to the moral principle* and personal ' v
.diameter of our ruler*, if it bo po**ible to ;
irrive at correct conclusion*, so that lent- '
perunce luen, prohihition voters, who wish *
lo be consistent in all their acts i using llic (
ballot included) may cast their vole* for
both men and measure* who are favorable *
lo the prohibition of the liiptor Iratlic first |
last, and forever.
11 we believe that llio temperance que*- i
tion is now the gn atot national issue be- <
fore the American people, we must labor j
for the culmination of that grand issue in ,
alt honorable way*, political as well a* 1
moral.
Already are our political opponent* in ,
different parts of the country busy at wojk
building up a false character for General
Grant on hi* temperance proclivities, as a
nice little bail for catching tho vote* of
temperance men this fall to help re-elect
the general a* our President for four year*
more, and thereby detract from our prohi
bition party vote. ,
Yes, our republican party friends (?)
have been securing the aid of ladies, oven,
to assist in substantiating the temperance
character of our President.
The important question now is, is Presi
dent Grant a drinking man? 1* he intern-
I prrate? and doc* he encourage the tip
! pliug customs of society *
! We want to know.

ate Man.
j W*III*I IOX, it C-. Juiy ItC.'
My Dear Sir I aui.thi* morning in re
-1 ceipt of your letter ot the'Jnh int., ask
ing lor the exact truth with regard lo the
habits of President Grant.
r . In giving you the information of the
'jfoct* that sre known to cvnt in this im
, portant national matter, allow us toprom
ite that 1 have always, at all time* and tn
all place*, been a friend of our Chief Mag
i! iUraie.
j J ww* c' of the l.rst lo advocate hi* bc
• ing brought from hi- ooawiuwcd ;.t the weat
' to the front of Richmond.
I wrote a baok of hi* lite, known a
', "The Taun, r Boy," wl.icli had a wide cir
.ulation.
1 w* extroo-ciy anxious to vindicate
' him on the temperance quaatton, *i,u vs.
glad on his coming to Wa-hinglon to learn
'jthat for one year immediately procoding
'land connocted with hit inauguration lie
! almost entirely abstained from the habit
-1 ual use of itrong drink
• It was during this period, and fur a
" short interim mcceding, that he was w
' ognixed in the manner rpuken of by the
: eg call ant woman (Mrs. Mary J. K. Bucli
" to whom you refer tu your letter.
But 1 regret to be under the necessity oi
j informing you that an unfavorable change
t ha* come over the pcronal habit* of Pre*,-
• Idcnt Grant in ttii* rospoof.
' lam solemnly bound in honor to say.
1 from the fact* of which I have poa*->ion.
■ that no conitcnt temperance man can
' support him.
I It cannot l>c denied in Washington thai
-.be has on several occasion* been seen un
der the influenco of liquor. The times and
t' ptawo* cut specified if they are demand
■ od. The parties-wno hgvc seen him in
r this condition can be produced.
i' In a conversation last winter with Sena
' tor Henry Wilson, that gentleman said to
i, me:
j "President Grant drinks too much," and
'concluded with the remark :
> "I have told him so.
i { Senator, Wilson will not deny this fau
Many similar fact* can be adduced.
A gentleman well and favorably knowa
in Washington, ono who has long occupied
''a public position at the national capital,
j inform* me that on the night immediately
■ j following the l*t great speech of Senator
Sumner, two rospecublo titier,s, walking
together in Jackson square, encountered
President Grant.
Ho was in a ta!c of intoxication, his hat
was slouched over his eyes, he had a light
ed cigar in his mouth, and he was stagger
ing along muttering to himself.
The name* of all these partie* are at
command.
j Another Washington resident, of unim
peaeitablc vwacjiy. l,a* clo Informed inc
within the last ten days, that ibejc is good
evidence for stating that tho real reason
why President Grant made such a hurried
exit from the capital for Long Branch,
when so much important public business
' demanded his attention, and when several
Henator* and Representative* were so bit
terly disappointed at not meeting him, ac
cording t<> appointments he himself had
' made, was tui*. that he was so much un
der the influence of liquor that ho yf.J not
fit for interviews in the Executive Man
| tion.
1 Names of rc*|M>nsiblc parties arc nl hand
, who will substantiate this statement.
A scholar of established reputation and
high moral character writes, within a short
lime past, toone of the most distinguished
moo of the country on this sub|ect of thr
drinking habit* of I'residont Grant. The
letter is dated a Cambridge, Mass.. and li
have been permitted to copy from it tliei
facts that are well known to many, to wit,
that the last appearance of President Gram '
in connection with tho exorcises of Har- !
varil University was such as to excite a
general feeling of anxiety and disgust
among all who witnessed it. He wm care
fully observed by those immediately
around him, and the aspects of his inebri
ety cannot bo mistaken.
An old resident of tho city of Baltimore,
Md., only a few weeks ago accompanied a
party of friend* to tbe Presidential man
sion, where, on being admitted to audi
ence with President Grant, they found hint
to be so much under the influence of liquor
that they immediately closed the interview
snd withdrew. {.
An officer in the civil service, now u per- :
nutrient inhabitant of Washington, states I
that during one of his trips on a steamer
from New York to the cast President ,
Grant was known by several parties to be I
cxcitej by strong drink to a disgusting ox- '
tent.
Shculd any of theso facts be denied by r
responsible parties the proof will be pro- }
iuced. I make these statements with sin- (
rero regret I
I am accountable to my Cod for the *
truth of every word.
