The Lowintown Gazette. radical, calls tho Chorpenning claim, a "relic of IVin ocracy," when every one knows that the democrats all along denounced it, and that it is radical congressman Cessna who is advocating the payment of that fraudulent claim. The thuetto can t paint off that fib on any one. A fellow across the mountain thinks to ride into office by getting astride of a /ewer-rail. Vive la humbug. Attorney General Pierre pont said the other day, in iMpQW to the question whether he had recently received any accounts of ku klux outrages, that he | had received none since he ha* occupied his present position. That s queer, w hen J we consider that the tall elections arc ao near at hand. Has the outrage mill 'gin eont ? Should like to know how Bill Brow n can have the impudence to *et himself j up as the leader of the workingmen j (Triers) w hen he never was able to man- j age his own affairs successfully for three months at a titue without running into the ground? "Kxplain." There is not an honest aorkingu.au in Peausvallev, nor an honest man on the other side of the county, whom Brown can name, that has confidence enough in him to till a pins head. " ♦ • Tho Black Hills aeem to have gold af ter all. new discoveries are reported and the consequent excitement. Intormation bearing date 20 ult., says that new dis coveries of gold have been made north of French creek, about twenty-eight miles, in the valley of Spring creek, which have created great excitement. There is a general begin* in that direc tion. Three hundred miners have al ready located there, and those who are' constantly coming into the hills follow the common impulse. Mr. W. P. Jenny, who has examined the district, has ver bally given it as his opinion that mining will prove moderately profitable there. He says that he obtained five cents from a isinful of earth. Nuggets have been found worth $1.30. A miner returned yesterday from a long tour in the north, accompanied by two Indians and a half breed, and having crossed Spring Creek, reports that the soil is yielding from ten to fifteen cents to the pan. The country is tine, with plenty of grass and timber. No gold has been found in the gulch ex cept in the spot where Mr. Jenny's as sistant dug to the led rock. Miners here are entering the hills at the rate of fifty a day. The population is now about 1,000. - • ♦ The "Industrial Advocate" is the name of a paper, under Bill Brown's editor ship, and is the organ of the chivalrous knights of the glass called the 7tiers, a secret organization that attempt* to draw votes from the democratic party, to help disorganize!* and disappointed office seekers to defeat the party. A few hon est and unsuspecting democrats have been drawn into this imitation of know nothingism. because it styles itself the workingmen's order. A workingmen's | order with Bill Brown for a leader! !wh, who will bite at such a bait ? Might as well have taken the unfaithful servant whom we read of in -Scripture, who buri ed his talent, and was reproved by the master on account of his laziness. Now this leader of the "Triers, Bill Brown, an old traducer ofCentre county democrat*, has, unprovoked, been calling the editor j of the Reporter abusive names, because I we are true to our party, and warn dem-1 ocrats against the tricks of himself and his kind to disorganize the democracy. He is hired by the Modoc element to keep up division, and through him and his organ the Modocs blow* their horn, and put out stuff—and this model man calls us a dog. When a pup chooses to call cs a dog, we can bear comparisons. Bill Brown is too well known in this county to be able to harm any one by his abase, and he will find few demo crats silly enough to be led astray by him, and join the order in which he shines as the leading star. The apple dumpling philosopher is hired also to abase Judge Orvi*, and every issue of his Industrial Advocate contain* a low fling at that gentleman. Judge Orvis needs no defense against Brown's at tacks, —the man, his abilities, his integ rity as an honest, faithful legislator, who was untiring in his fight against the plundering rings while at Harrisburg, and his uprightness upon the bench, are an iron clad of safety against the mud halls of Bill Brown or his Modoc mas ters who hire him to do their dirty work. Brown's Advocate is ill at ease because, as it charges, the Reporter is inspired by Judge Orvis. Wish it were correct. The charge is quite an unintentional compli* ment paid our own poor abilities—we might well feel proud of such assistance. The advice of Judge Orvis would be the most valuable and trustworthy we could have. But that distinguished gentles man has nothing at all to do with the conduct of this paper, he is minding his own business and is minding it well too, while we are giving all our attention to ours, and from the manner in which we are succeeding, we flatter ourselves that tre are minding ours well too, and when we need advice, will much prefer that of Judge Orvis to the hireling of the Modocs who is in pay to keep up an or ganization that is intended to stab the democratic party of Centre county in the dark, if certain ringsters can not get of fices. We would a thousand time* pre fer being the dog that Brown calls us, than to play second fiddle to the chap of whom Mr. Hanflpck, a member of the House, said "he was the d—t little rooster he ever heard of." Any genuine workingmen's organization will be sure not to have a loafer like Bill Brown tor a leader —hence we look upon the Sons of *76, as being humbugged, and advise the few honest democrats who may have been misled, to get out of it. If Bill Brown chooses to advocate tin election of P. G. Meek to the senate, it is all right and besides perfectly fitting he should do so, and we will not dispute with him about his taste iu the matter —indeed would be exceedingly surpris ed if he did not do so, and that the 'Toen ail think as Brown does upon the sen ate question, is not ustounding, because < thereon is the order built. Mododsm 1 in 74, la simply 76ers in '75. Brown 1 can not go back on those follows, for!. ihty hired him once before. Iu the Watchman of a few years ago, Mr. Meek telle it right out that they hired Brown— . gave him a pair of new pants—to do { tome political work for them, and make i democratic speeches ft GRANT SUSTAINS THE IN THAN RING. At the cabinet meeting, luat week, President Grant announced his decision in regard to Secretary 1 Via no. He has heard tho grave charge* of fraud pre ferred by Prof, Marsh, of Yale college, who has witnessed some of the transac tions of the ring and has examined some jof the vile stuff that has Ih-cu palmcrl off upon the Indian for food. The pork was not tit for human Wing* to eat. The sugar was Wd. The flour was unlit for use. The beef was miserable. The blankets wen* fraud*. Tho Indian livnts had cheated and wronged the ' Indians, ami the head of the de(nirt- I men! knew it and sustained it. Prof. Marsh gwve name*, dates and all partic ular*. lie wrote to President Grunt, suhmittinpupon paper his specific char ge*. and explicitly stating that the sec retary of the interior and the head of the Indian bureau were implicated. Prof. Marsh then went to l.ong Brunch and had a jwrsonal interview with the preaident, telling him what he hail seen ami what he knew. But the president declines to sus|hmul the secretary and investigatethese charges made by a gen tleman of high respectability and purity of character. The president sustains the ring always. When secretary Pox tele graphed to the president from Washing ton to Long Brunch, that he was "light ing fraud" and needed the moral sup* j (*irt of the President, he was ordered not to act. .to defeat a grand laud job,) and was forthwith dismissed from the Cabinet. Now the seeieti who does of "right fraud" but sustains it, anil if Prof. Marsh's charges are at all reliable, is implicated in frauds, is upheld by the President. 1 have decided mo t todi*mi.-s him says, Gen. Grant. He retains the I *ootvtarv that sustains fraud, and dis missed the one that fought it. 77/ E NEX T EL El TIC>.Y It willW well to bear iu mind that the new Constitution forbids all poisons from voting unless they have been as sessed at least two mouths and |taid tax es at least one mouth before the date of the election. No one of foreign birth can vote unless, in addition to the above, he has been naturalized a mouth preti ous to the election. The date for holding the next election is Tuesday, Novembers. Wednesday, Sept. Ist, is the last day on which voters can be assessed. Friday, Oct. Ist, is the last day on which they can pay taxes. Friday, Oct. Ist, is the last day for tak ing out naturalization papers. EXCIRSJOX CARS FOR 7HE > EN TENS'IAI.. The Cumberland Valley railroad is about having constructed u number of passenger curs in which the seats will be numbered, and overhead there w ill be a receptacle provided with lock and key for the baggage- of the seat holder. The excursionist buys a ticket and with it he receives a key with a check . at tached, and on the check he find* a num ber stamped corresponding with the number of the seat to which he is enti tled. He will find the key to uulock the closet over his seat—but not the closet over any other seat. When he reaches Philadelphia he can lock up as much of his baggage as he chooses and sally forth. The train will Ik? run upon a siding convenient to the centennial grounds. At any time the excursionist desires lie can walk over to the train, unlock his closet and take out or put in anything he chooses. He may even put bis lunch there. At night on the w ay home the check and key are taken up with the return ticket. The {lassenger is thus put at no inconvenience, but on the other hand is supplied with accom modations almost tinkown to railway travelers at the present time. THE OHIO FINANCIAL POSITION There has been much misrepresenta tion and condemnation of the Ohio Democrats on the fiuances.and the Rad icals have tried to create the impression that defeat is staring the Democrat* of that State in the face. But the contra ry is the fact. There is a sanguine be lief among the Democrats that they w ill carry the State by an increased majori ty. As to the position of the Democrats thereon the finances. Hon. George If. Pendleton a few days since made a speech defining his position,and as what he has advocated has been quoted a* the Democratic position and largely misrep resented by the Radicals, we give a sum mary of what he did say : He said that we are all in favor of coin as the basis of the currency ; that a pa per currency should be convertible into coin at par ; that we desire a return to specie payments as speedily as the in terests of labor and business w ill per mit ; that we would be glad to return immediately if honor and good faith and justice would permit, and it were jiossi ble. We have not now and never have been in favor of an unlimited issue of greenbacks. We are not, and never have been, iu favor of repudiation in any form. We do believe it is our high est duty to fulfill all our country's obli gations according to the spirit and letter of our promises. We are not now, and never have been in favor of a volume of currency changing or fluctuating accord ing to the whims of ]>artiea, or the in terests of bankers, or the demands of reckless speculators, but sufficient for the easy, active, economical, profitable interchange of commodities, and as fixed and stable as the nature of the cane will allow. So long as we must have a paper currency we prefer greenbacks, which are sound, cheap, and good, to nationul bank notes, which at the outset coat the people six per cent., and are at the last only redeemable in greenbacks. He would not discuss to-day the merits of the different kinds of currency. The house, he said, was burning. Jx>t us put out the fire, and then we may consider whether we will repair the injuries or rebuild on another plan. It will lie seen he recognizes coin as u basis, and hopes for a return to specie payment, but until that time, and for the best interests of the county and as a means of forwarding specie payments, he is in favor of doing away with the National Banks and substituting a uni form government currency. The posi tion is a sound one, it is backed by the people, who are and ought to be in favor of breaking down the National Bank monopoly,and not only will that posi tion win with the people of Ohio, but it would carry Pennsylvania. A cousin of Himon Cameron was sent to the Blair county poor house on Wed nesday at his on request. He was hon est and that may have kept him poor— had he stolen like Blmon lut plight have lieen sent to higher quarters. A,H. Dill, of Lewisburg, declines be-| ing a candidate for governor.

The legislation to shield the fund from examination was enacted at the session of 1574, by the most corrupt and liaso legislative body that ever as sembled in this Commonwealth, or in any Other, unless, (nisstbly, it i* cjualed or exceeded ly soiucofthc negro-carpet- Iwig Legislatures of the Southern States. Cnder the existing laws, therefore, and by the connivance of Gov. llartranft, over two millions of dollars of the peo jJo's money jmid by liurvl taxation—is loekeii up in the breeches jioeket of Mr. Bob. Maekev, upon whieli lie may und no doubt does draw* interest to hi* (er >onal advantage, while the State Wmds which this money should promptly re deem) are left to draw interest which must be jmid by the people. Outrage i* a mild term for this ftsdical buccaneer ing transaction—it is a gross fraud ujm the people, perpetrated over the signa ture of John F. llartranft—direct rob bery ! Is Ihere no remedy ? Auditor Gener al IVmple is yet Commissioner of the Sinking Fund. When the board again meets (in H few days now let him de mand that every dollar in the Sinking Fund shall K at once used in redeeming Mate bonds. He urn make the demand —let the two Radical Commissioners re fuse or neglect if they dare. There will be time between this and the election to expose them and to lix the j>/<>j-*r re sponsibility upon Gov. Hurtruntl. Vuder these circumstance- it i- not at all singular that Treasurer Mackflv pubs lishes monthly statements, over his atti davit, that there are millions in the sinking Fund, but only contemptible sums ranging from less than two to thir ty dollars in the State Treasury applica ble to the payment of current expenses ami appropriations. Hut why are the millions kept in the sinking Fund, ;e in the presence of the persons who were etfempfed for any cause other than physical die-utility, TltPfis claiming exemption on the ground of physical disa bility were exempted in n separate room by the burgeon and his assistant, who, at the close of every day reported to me the names of those who were exempted, with the cause of exemption—whose names were ut once erased by drawing a red linoacross them, and writing in the proper column the cause for which they were exempted, The examination* wore concluded on thai litth of Sept. 18(12 and I immediately J made my report to the Adjutant General! of the State—and my account In accord-' anre with the instruction* given u* Dur ing the progress of the examination*, many person* a-ked lor certificate, of exemption who Were answered in every instance, that we were not furnished with blank* had no time to write them, and that the authorities had made no provision for is suing them ; that the nnu'es ol all who were exempted Would be era.est and .Ire k eti front the enrollment, which was all that a necessary. Notwithstanding thi* a* tunnies that no certificate* were neo.leil, lor Weeks afterward* i ore. of potion, made application to me, some in person, and other- by loiter, foi certificate-. Some six Weeks after the close of the examina tion. and aeeooil happened to he In the office of the commissioner of Mirtltn coun ty, in I.owistown, when n person called and obtained from the commissioner u certificate of exemption, and paid for it. After lie had departed 1 inquired why lie gave certificate* remarking that the gov ernment furnished u* no blank, and no instruction* on the subject, and that for this ren.oii we gave none. He replied that neithrr did the government furnish tin to any but that they were so much im portuned for them, that he and the Surgeon got up a form mid issued ihrin to such person* US desired and were entitled to llicni on their puviug for theui. 1 report ed these fact* to the Surgeon and assistant, and being .till annoyed and importuned with application* for them, we concluded to i- ue certificate* lor u certain price, which wa fixed by the Surgeon at two dollara each, contrary to my wishes. In asmuch as we bad hitherto declined to is sue spy, it was necessary to give informa tion in some way , giving notice that certif icate . would bo given to such us dt-sind , and were entitled to them A circular wus drawn up at.d printed, giving thi* in , formation, and rt-ntby mail to most of those exempted by reason of physical disability. t \\ e had several hundred certificate* print ed not one half of which were used, be cause tlu-y were not t ailed for. A nuuib*i of p-.-rs >n* call* I and received certificate* and paid for Ihe hi 1 Jo not hesitate to state that 1 aJvixd every one w ho applied, that the certific t>-e not|ncc<-s ry. tint they were already exempted, and their > namct erased, but if they insisted in hav ing them, they uiu.l pay for them 1 belie \cd i. nd so ttalod, l>> tomcat lead, that the certificate* would be evident < to .-tempi the holder, far the . pay mint of the uiiiitia tax—and this 1 am inhumed was accomplished hy them. 1 paid f r printing the circulars nnd Certifi , cati , and spent about two wm-ks at uiy of \ tic attending lo issuing certificates, for which Iho government did not pay into cent and when finished the receipts were by no mean- an adequate compensation, As be fore stated I made my return lo the Adj i ' tant General on the 10 September anJ tny account, on the government were then closed, whilst no certificate* wvrcL.ut-d un til November, some right weeks after i wards, anu all that wt-rothan issued were tssuc-d as a favor to tho.o exempted and who deserved them as an evidence of their exemption. Among other* one was is-u. 1 to Mr. J. W. Adam*, who applied for it not in person, but through at other. I Jo not recollect of ever having seen Mr. Adam* until sotno ten day. ago when in Millhqpii Mr. J. H. Reifsi.yder c.me t in* and inquired what the difficulty was between Adam* and myself, to which I re plied, 1 knew of none, when he, Reifsny der, said that Adam* complained about an exemption certificate, and mentioned a let ter from Gov.

I r> ad the letter and .aid to Adams that it was net written by Gov. Curtin, but by Mc- Clure. a clerk in the Adjutant General's office, that I did not believe Gov. Curtin over saw it, and if he did he certainly dot not understand the fact. Adam* com plained that he was very por anil be thought I cught not to have charged him the two dollar*. 1 explained the matter fully and insisted on my moral and legal right* to Jo what*had* been don* denied all moral at d legal obligation* to repay. Rut because Mr. Reifsnyder had stated that he, Adam* was *<> poor that it wa* with difficulty he kept himself and family off the township, at.d because Adam* c< m tdained ami appealed to me bv reason e>f his poverty, 1 gave him two dollars as an act of charity and not a* hi* right, and .aid to him that I gave it not because he wa* entitled to it •• a matter of right, nor because 1 was under any obligation eritlier legal or moral, but purely and simply bo cause he wa* poor and needed it, and for the tame rcas $ 1 wusarHtnpa.it blatant republican, I utter* Jy deny, thi* Meek u*c* everywhere, and no one know* it* utter Taltlty better than lie.

Thieve* and robber* from tbe surrounding country have swept down on tbe ill-fated city, and hardly a .ingle safe ha* been tared from the cu*- torn house. Four hundred mule* were killed in the street*. and a* there is no one to remove them the .tench i becoming frightful. The village* of San Cristobal, Torrina, Uuatimog. Capacho, San Anto ,ni,, Libetera, San Juan de Urena, Rosa rio and San Cayetano are completely de stroyed. The store house at Fuertode lo* facto* was tacked and burned by bandit*. A letter from Ooano, May BC, *v* ten tboutaud people were killed at Cucula in addition to other thousand* who were ten uously wounded and bruised. Death and desolation reigned everywhere. Great number* of hacicodashave been destroyed, and hundtod* of house* in the country overthrown, leaving the people homeless and consigned to poverty. Many of the ttee* were torn up from the root*, aid .mall hill* opened like melon*. The cause of the great catastrophe i* of course, un known, and the precise place of it* first manifestation. Some suppose that the vol cano ofSobatcra, which was in action in ISIS, is again breaking out, while other* tay that a new volcano ha* appeared in the hill* of GiracLa.

A dispatch to President Pe rez from CbinacoU, on May 24, *aj*: ; "The people of San Jose, Rusario and San Cayclaiio havo disappeared. The real of the departmont if in ruins" More than j four thousand penont hare perished." A dispatch from Socorro, dated May 24, says, "The situation is assuming a grave aspect j and sickness and starvation in Patppclu na are increasing," A telegram from Chiquinquara, of May 22, says the shocks are repeating, two last night and one to* day. There is great alarm among the people. Appeals for help were being circulated hrough all the cities of Columbia and the most liberal responses were being made. A private letter, dated at Salaxar, May 26, says: "On the 20th the sad idea oc curred to me of visiting the ruins of Cucu ta. On my arrival there what an aw ful sight met my gar.e. It was something Jiorri* lo to contemplate. Not one stone remained on another in tpe *itv. The number of tho dead is calculated at three quarters of the entire population. The few families which are saved arc now on tho outskirts of what was the city, living on what they can procure ; but they will soou bo obliged to retire, as the putrefac tion of the dead yrill not allow thorn to re main. It is heartrending to sec* the wounded who can havo no care, and who cannot remain long alive in their present condition. And, moro fearful still, ban ditti arc killing apd robbing the wounded. No adequate idea can be formed of the conditiou of affairs there. BE ATT V P,ANO! ENDORSED HY THE HIGHEST MU SICAL authorities throughout the world as Til K IIEST. 1) P.
