THE Democrats of Adams county
were in council last Monday, and the re
sult of their deliberations will be found
in ocr local columns. The main interest
centered in the Legislative nomination,
around which the combinations for the
other offices circled. For weeks there
has been an active canvass of the coun
ty by many of the candidates, attended,
in some sections, with much bitterness
of feeling. The struggle was resumed
in Gettysburg on Monday with- much
obstinacy, as the ballotings will show.—
Watson, Geiselman, Diebl and Donahue,
led on the first ballot, but the prize was
finally won by Mr. Herriter, of High
land, who started with moderate expecta
. .
tions, and was doubtless as much sur
prised at his success as were many
others. That the convention, should
have stumbled into the nomination of so
unexceptionable a candidate, is an in
cident worthy of note. That such was
not its purpose, is evidenced by the low
figures with which he started, and the
slowness with which he advanced. Mr.
Herriter is partly indebted for his suc
cess to the bitterness of the contest be
t?veen the other aspirants, who, in their
anxiety to slaughter each other, gradual
ly gravitated to him as a choice of Oils.
He was also largely aided by the com
binations growing out of the contest for
Commissioner. To leave the ground
open for Nunemaker and Will, it was
necessary that both Watson and Diehl
should be killed off, Herriter being
thereby strengthened. The friends of
Watson and Diehl struggled hard to the
last, but it was no go. The combination
against them was too strong.
Of Mr. Herriter himself, we . take
pleasure in saying thai le is a young
gentleman of excellent character, and
in every respect a decided improvement
on the class of men the Democratic
party in this county has been presenting
as Legislative candidates sor some years.
A pronounced Democrat, his candidacy
will make the contest one purely of
principle.
Messrs. Diehl and Watson having been
effectually disposed of, the track was
clear fol . Messrs. Nunemaker and Will,
and the contest sharp but quick. Lady's
friends went over to Will on the second
ballot and gave him the nomination.—
Mr. Will is a decided partizan, and
should he get into the Commissioner's
office, the "ring" will, have no difficulty
to manipulate Win at pleasure. We shall
hereafter have something to sa3r both as
to the Commbaioner and Director.
THE formal withdrawal of Mr. Mc-
Sherry from the Congressional struggle
turns out to be no withdrawal at all.—
Either his letter to the Compiler was a
blind, or he took a sober second thought
and re-considered the matter. At all
events, when the Convention on Mon
day last put him in nomination and re
solved to allow him to name his own
conferees, a paper was at once handed
in with the names all "cut and dry."—
Ths thing seemed to be understood. It
is rumored that an alliance, offensive
and defensive, is on foot between Ad
ams, Franklin and Somerset, to choke
off both Smith, of Fulton, and Meyers, of
Bedford. Judge Kimmel having back
ed, Wm. McLellan, of Franklin, now
wants the nomination. If McLellan
can't make it, Franklin is to go for Mc-
Sherry. Such is the report. But we
don't believe that card will win.
JOHN REAL, a noted Democratic ward
politician in New York, was hung on
Saturday for the murder of a police of
ficer two years ago. Great efforts were
made for his pardon,-after every avail
able legal remedy had been exhausted.
Gov. Hoffman, however, refused to in
terfere and Real was executed. He
claimed to have killed the officer in self
defence, and the day before his -death
wrote a letter charging Hoffman's re
fusal to pardon him as' due to the fact
that he (Real) belonged to the anti-Tam
mary wing of the party and had refused
to do the bidding of the leaders who
have access to Hoffman's ear. Hemen
tions several well known Murderers who
are at large, because of their services to
Tammany. Real's funeral on Sunday
was attended by over 5,000 persons, de
legates from a number of political clubs
being present.
Trim Democratic Convention on Mon
day showed a remarkable liberality to
the Republican townships. Whilst
ignoring the heavy Democrats districts,
they generously give the three most im
portant candidates to districts casting
Republican majorities. The Legislature
goes to Highland, Director of the Poor
to Huntington, and Jury Commissioner
to Berwick Borough, while Democratic
Franklin and Cumberland get the Com
missioner and Auditor. This generosity

ling. The Prussians have the Freiith
already on the defensive; and Paris
badly frightened. Lotus Napoleon,
having precipitated the War and march
ed his battalions to the Rhenish frontier
with high-sounding proclamations of his
purpose to curb the aggressive policy of
Bismarck and King William, felled,
either from incompetency or irresolu
tion, to strike. Prussia was unprepar
ed, but Louis Napoleon's unaccounta
ble inaction gave time for needed prepar
atiOn. Gen. Moltke is credited with
saying that if France did not strike by
the 2lit of July, it would be too late.
His prediction seems to be verified.
The Prussians having massed immense
bodies of troops on the Rhine, unex
pectedly opened the offensive on Friday
and Saturday and in several desperate
battles broke the ; French lines, and won
a series of bloody but decisive - Victories;
which have demoralized the French and
produced intense consternation at Paris.
The Crown Prince commanding the left
of the Prussian line, following up the
capture of Wissembourg, attacked and
overwhelmed the Prussian right under
McMahon at Haguenad, driving him
with immense loss back into the interior.
At the same time Gen. Steinmetz, com
manding the Prussian centre, attacked
Frossard's corps, crushing' it, retaking
Saarbuck and forcing Frossard back
to Metz. Prince Frederick Charles,
cousin of the Crown Prince and Prus
sia's ablest commander, advanced with
the right wing, occupying Forback and
Thionville, and at last accounts v6s
threatening Metz. Strasbourg at the
same time was invested by the , Crown
Prince. The details of these battles, as
they come to hand, increase the import
ance of the victories and account for the
demoralization of the French and the
alarm at Paris. The route of the French
was complete. The war has suddenly
been transferred from Prussian to
French soil. Paris, not knowing what
is to come next, is alarmed for its safety.
Louis Napoleon is in a bad way.
Paris holds him responsible for the
military reverses and is clamorous for
a change in commanders, The 'rince
Imperial has beet; sent. home to Mk
mother for safety, while llagaine is sent
to the front to Wye the general com
mand, of the French.forces.
There has been. ne serious fighting
since Saturday. Roth sides are massing
troops, and heavy fighting must take
ph►ce within a few days, on the result
of which will largely depend the question
of Peace. The French are making des
perate efforts to withstand the advance
of the Prussians. If they succeed and
drive back the Prussians, the war will
be prolonged, as the Germans will fall
back.on the Rhine and fight desperately
for the integrity of German soil. Should
the French be again worsted in the im
pending battles, all will be up with
Louis Napoleon. Revolution at Paris
will be inevitable, and, neutrel.powers
will force Peace.
On Tuesday night s after a stormy ses
sion in the Corps Tpiriootif, the Minis
try resigned.. A new cabinet was form
ed, made up of the opposing factions,
with Count Palikao at its head. Some
of the deputies demanded the abdication
of Napoleon and the appointment of a
Dictator. A telegram from London an
nounces the flight of the Prince Impart
ial. The French were falling back' on
Nancy, and the Prussians steadily ad
vancing, with a great battle momentarily
imminent.
THE Democratic National Campaign
Committee, failing to find any flaw in
the course of Congress or the policy of
the Administration fit to be used' as a
campaign document, have resorted to
the_. publication of the minority renartof
the committee appointed to investigate
the charges against General Howard,
and are now engaged in circulating
broadcast throughout the land this libel
upon that Christian soldier and gentle
man. A more disreputable document
than this report, as the Philadelphia
Press well remarks, was never printed;
and the Democratic National Executive
Committee by endorsing it in this man
ner and sending it out to their ignorant
and illiterate constituents are only
showing the depth of their own moral
and political degradation. Gen. How
ard was a gallant soldier, who fought the
Rebellion and gave an arm to his coun
try. He is, moreover, a Christian sol
dier, with heart and conscience. The
Copperhead leaders will never forgive
his hostility to treason. They know that
these charges, originating in' personal
malignity and rebel hate, were thorough
ly exploded by the Congressional in
vestigation. But that matters not.—
The rank and file are to be held to the
support of the party, and hence this dis
reputable campaign document, 'which,
among decent Democrats and all Re
publicans, should win for Gen. Howard,
warm sympathy and renewed confidence.
Yoas county has a debt of $200,000
and a County Tax of 7 mills. There is a
deep-seated feeling of indignation among
the masses of the Democratic party over
the mismanagement of the County
finances, and in effort will be made this
fall to displace the rings that have been
ruling the County Boards, by a combi
nation of the good men of both parties.
In Adams county, with a population of
one-third that of York, we have a Debt
of $BO,OOO and a County Tax of 8 mills
—one mill higher than in York. If
York county needs reform, how about
Adams?
IN ten election distrj,cts, in the city of
New York, at the last election, the De
mocrats polled over forty thousand votes.
The census just taken, shows thit these

two thousand inhabitants, men, Women
and children. This shows where the
Democratic majorities come from in
New York State.

THE CORPS LEGISLATLE" CONVOKED
LONDON, • Aug. s.—Despatches from
Prussian headquarters give the details of
the capture on Thursday of Wissembourg,
a fortified town of France, situated on the,
right bankcr e the Lauter, and on the
Bavarian fron r, thirty-four miles north
east of Strasbourg. The Prussian army,
under the coauriand of the Crown Prince,
stormed the fortifications, and after a
severe engagement and heavy loss the
French were driven from the field, and
several hundred were taken prisoners.—
Gen. Donay, commanding a Division of
Marshal McXahon's Corps, was killed.—
This movement of the Prussians, while
apparently abandoning Saarbrucken, in
dicates a purpose to invade France on the
right of the French lines.
PiIUBBIAN ACCOUNT
BERLIN-, Aug. s.—The following de
spatch has been received here from Nie
derotter, a small village on the Otter river
near Wiseembourg, dated at 6 o'clock. on
Thursday evening:
We have won a brilliant but bloody vic
tory. The left wing was the attacking
body, and consisted of the Fifth and
Eleventh Prussian Corps, with the Second
Bavarian. This force carried by a-vault,
under the eyes of the Prince Royal, the
Fortress of Wissembonrg and the heights
between Wissernbourg and Geisburg.--- , -
Donay's Division, of Marshal McMahon's
Corps, was splendidly defeated, being
driven from its camp. General Donay
himself was killed. Eight hundred pris
oners were taken. The Prussian General
Birchbach was slightly wounded. The
Royal Grenadiers and Fiftieth Regiment
of the line suffered heavy losses.
FRENCH REPORTS
PARIS, Aug. s.—At 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon three regiments of Donay's di
vision and a brigade of light cavalry were
attacked at Wissembourg by a very con
siderable force of the enemy, which had
been massed in the woods skirting Lautef
river. Our troops resisted for several
hours the attacks of the eneihy and then
retired to the summit of Pigeonuier, an
eminence which commands the line of
railroad to 13itsche. General Dow was
killed. One piece of 'artillery, the horses
having been killed and the carriage broken,
fell into the hands of the Prussians.—
Marshal McMahon is concentrating the
forces under his command at this point.
HEAVY FIGHTING AND YORE PRUSSIAN
MEEZ!
Zdvaday, A tati t Ti. 13. --ChU uvwn Zwday burn _
the seat of war is interesting and import
ant, showing that the grand armies are at
last in contact. The victorious Prussians
followed up their capture of Wissembourg
by an advance on the right and left of
their line, and fought on Saturday two
battles and won two victories. The left
of their army under the Crown Prince,
Frederick William, advanced from Wis
sembourg into French territory and met
the division of General McMahon near
Hagenau, a town in Alsacg, twenty miles
frOm'the frontier. A battle commenced
at mid-day and continued until dark, the
French being routed and driven back in
the direction of Bitsche, a French town
thirty miles northeast of the battle ground.
The Prussians captured four thousand
prisoners, thirty cannons, two mitrailleurs
and two standards. A despatch from the
Emperor acknowledges this defeat, and
states that McMahon has been isolated by
the victorious army from communication
with the other French forces. Napoleon
ends his despatch announcing the French
disaster with the statement that he in per
son will assume command in the centre.—
The division of McMahon comprised the
choicest troops of the French army, main
ly those who had seen service in Algeria,
and their commander had a high renown
as a soldier, iwon by his share in the vic
tory at Magneta in the Italian war. Both
armies suffered great losses.
While the attack was being made on
McMahon at the right of the French army,
their left, under General Froward, was
also defeated between Saarbruck and
Sierek by the centre of the Prussian army.
At this point also the victors advanced in
to French territory, first re-capturing Saar
bruck, and then, according to one report,
marching on and holding the French towns
of Sierck and' Thionville, situate on the
Moselle, and distant respectively two and
twelve miles from the border. These par
tkulars are substantiated in despatches
from King William and the Emperor, all
going to Show the importance . and com
pleteness of the German success. There
was the most intense excitement and con
sternation in Paris upon the publication of
the EfEiPeror's news of disaster. A pro
clamation from the Empress and Ministry.
was issued calling upon the patriotism of
She people to sustain the war, declaring
Vie city in a state of siege, and convoking
the Corps Legislatif on Thursday. The
Emperor conveys the impression that he
will immediately renew the contest and
endeavor to gain back his lost ground.
The despatches show that the forward
movement of the Prussian army has been
at two points sixty miles apart. A de
spatch from Paris states that another di
vision has crossed the Rhine at Basle, at
the extreme southwestern corner of Prus
sia, into Prance. If this be correct, it
shows that the advance embraced the en
tire German army, and, that King Wil
liam is carrying on a bold and aggressive
movement into the interior of France.

THE EMPIRE ON THE VERGE OF DIR.
SOLUTION
LosuoN, Aug. 9.—The Pad Mall Gazette
has assurances from private sources in
Paris that the Empire is on the verge of a
collapse. The Empire is dead, and the
Parisians are receiving arms, and they are
all Republicans at heart. The establish
ment of a Provisional Government is al
ready talked of. The Orleanists, through
General Changarnier and Trochu, are in
the ascendant, and eminent Imperialists
are leaving France.
THE EMPEROR'S ICISMANAGEME.NT
Penis, Aug, 9.—Edmund About writes
from the field, bitterly condemning the
Emperor's mismanagement. He says:—
Having declared war, he let the Prussians
begin it. It is true that neither party was
ready, yet the French lost twenty days in
useless marching and countermarching.—
They were surprised at Wiaseinbourg by
an enemy whom there were no videttes to
watch, no skirmishers to meet and no set
tled plan to repel.
I=
Penis, Aug. 9.—The Ministers have ad
dressed the following kodamation to the
Parisians:
"Our army is concentrated. A new ef
fort has imparted to it fresh hope and con
fidence, but agitation here will lessen the
moral force of the trmy and act against it.
Paris rising, the French army will be be
tween two fires. We prepare for the de
fence of Paris, and the Deputies will co
operate with us. Let all good citizens
help to prevent disorder. Those who wish
will have arms furnished them; and will be
sent to the front at once.
THE MINISTRY CE:NffORED
The Ministry and Eugenia are power
less in Paris. The people assemble in large
masses, are defiant of martial law, and
demand a change of officers. A resolu
tion of censure on the Ministry was carried
in the Corps Legislatif this evening by a
large majority.
On the streets frequent cries of "Vive la
France," "Vice la Changarnier," &c., are
heard, but an ominous silence prevails as
to Louis Napoleon and Eugenia. The Na
tional Guard attempted to disperse the
crowds, but were met with the taunt, "To
the frontier!" "To the frontier!"
GREAT OVATION TO KING WILLIAM
BEaust, August B.—The King of Prus
sia on passing through Neastadt yesterday,

and others, addressed the people, and
thanked them for the king.
The losses of the French in the battle of
Woerth on Saturday were 5,000 dead,

AN, HONEST ADMINISTRATION.
Repeal of 180,000,000 or Taxes—Why
It Was Dose.
On the 18th instant, at Terra Haute,
Indiana, Senator Morton delivered one of
his poiverful speeches, the most of which
was devoted to general issues. Touching
the suPJ4tec or aanesty and economy 114 the
administration of the government, the
Senator said:
Now, the question may present itself to
your mind, how is it that we have been
able to repeal eighty millions of taxes?—
You have had a Republican Congress all
the time; why could you not do it before?
I will tell you. We have had a Republi
can Congress. but not a Republican Ad
ministration until the last sixteen months.
The last three and a half years of Presi
dent Johnson's Administration was as
thoroughly Democratic as was that of
James Buchanan or Franklin Pierce. I
want to tell you how we are able at this
time to repeal eighty millions of taxes and
still have surplus money coming into the
Treasury. First, by economy—by reduc
ing the expenses of the Government, and
we reduced them, as compared with Pres
ident Johnson's Administration, over fifty
millions of dollars. They have been cur
tailed here, and curtailed there, and in the
other,place, and the expenses of govern
ment have been , greatly reduced. Then
we have gained a large amount in another
Way—by the honest collections of the rev
enue. I wish to show you a statement I
obtained from the Secretary of the Treas
ury only three or four days ago. I saw
Mr. lkoutwell the day I started from
Washington and asked him to send me a
statement over his own signature as to the
amount of gain by the honest collection of
the revenue since General Grant came into
power. Here it is, and I shall read it to
you:
TREASURY DER..inTmzivr,' t
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 5, 1870. I
Hon. 0. P. Morton:
In reply to your verbal inquiry, I have
the honor to state that there has been an
increase of thirty-two millions six hundred
and seventy-five thousand dollars in the
internal revenue receipts during the first
sixteen months of President Grant's ad
ministration, as compared with the last
sixteen months of President Johnson's
administration.
There you have it. On the same rate of
taxation—even with less, because under
Johnson's administration the tax on
whisky was two dollars per gallon, while
it is now fifty cents per gallon, we have an
increaseof more than thirty-two millions
in the receipts of internal revenue in six
teen months. Mr. Boutwell goes on:
"And an increase of nineteen millions
four hundred sixty thousand nine hundred
and fifty-three dollars in. custom duties for
the same period and upon the same com
parison, making an aggregate of fifty-one
millions four hundred and eight thousand
six hundred and ninety dollars."
Just resulting from an honest adminis
tration{ When you add this to what we
have gained in the way of economy by re
ducing the expenditures, you will under.
stand how we are able to reduce taxation
eighty millions of dollars by one single
blow. '
To this' wonderful showing of Senator
Mortor(we may add that, daring the six.
teen months of President Grant's admin
istration. $146,000,000 of the public debt
has berji paid.
