IVO TRADING
We are advised that in several tow
ship. Democrats, dissatisfied with the
management of. County affairs, are pro
posing to vote for Bayly and. Barr in,
exchange for votes for Hereter. •We
hope our Republican friends will be on
their guard. _ Let every man stlind on
his own merits, and frown down! ; `trad-•
'Mg" of all kinds. Col. Ephraim Myers
is making headway, and the Democratic
leaders know- it. Hence their persistent
attacks on him. Hence these efforts to
withdraw votes from him and saveHer
eter, even if it be at the expense of Will
and Millar, the Democratic' nominees
for Commissioner and Director. -
TnE Compiler tries to hold• the one
lttyiublican Commissioner we have hid
twice in ten years, responsible for the
Ibis-management of County affair?
We know they are sadly in: need of a
scape-goat, but it is a new doctrine that
aikinr,•ity can be held to have controled.
If we had had two members of the
Board at any one time, we would admit
the responsiliility. But we had not.
. - The _Ring" Pere always strong enough
to prevent that.
We want JOSEPH BAYLY elected this
fall. and another Republican next fall;
and thf•e, we will'ansWer for it that no
honest man shall complain of truth sup
pressed. or extravagance unchecked.
IN .InAms County, Copperhead meet
ings are called, and only "white men"
invited. In Louisiana, on the other
hand, there were' colored delegates in
1 herecent Copperhead State Convention;
aid even in Maryland, there is such a
thing to be seen as a "colored" Copper
head meeting.
Such brazen inconsistency and hypoc
isy could only occur in one party in
this country.
Ex-t;ov. MORTON, of Indiana, now
s. Senatorirom that State, has been
appointed Minister to England and has
accepted. The Senate will lose by the
appointment, but the country. will
gain by it. Senator Morton is in entire
accord with President Grant on the
questions at issue between England and
uiu• Government, and hasconcededabil
il
y a, a diplomatist.
„
EYEns begs us to forget that he
er counselled murder to Prevent the
(•xvcut ion of the Draft, and the filling
up of our armies in 1863. We think the
boys in blue frill persist in remember
ing it . --and in pioperly punishing the
man whci was as emelly indifferent to
their fate, :is to the separation and
destruction of the country.
ix 1865 B.F.Meyers said that "Lee and
Grant had compromised"—most people
thought that it was a pretty complete
victory when Lee'a vfhole army laid
dbivn . their arms and surrendered. Mr.
Meyers will have the pleasure of com
promising with Mr.- g'essna after the
11th of October bit the . .same way thit
Lee compromised with Grant.—Bedford .
L.quirer.
Tn E Louisville Courier, the leading
Democratic organ in Kentucky, says
that the negrthpuestion is not a test of
Democracy, and that the effort to or
ganize a white man's party has failed.
We print this for the edification of our
Demotratic friends herektbouts, who are
kept ik woful ignorance this subject
by their party journals.
MEEas lips he is a Free Trader,
but prinnises, if elected, to represent his
constituents who, he admitS, are favora
ble to Protection.
He evidently hark convenient con
science, and is thindThrtx the eke,
more. than for thf:prerildence of the
ifinciples which lie ,tidglft thereby ad
vance.
IVErEns' principles and record have
been so bad that he shrinks appalled
from the i r re-production. He says he
believes in going forward, not in looking
back; and he recflls to us the sad fate
of. Lot's wife. Meyers will be as - we ll
salted as sbe was, before he gets hick
from Salt Hirer.
a. F. lamas , *AR RECORD
LET 'every loyal voter read
Meyers' War Record on the first page of
to-day's issue. It is taken verbatim
from Mr. Meyers' own paper—not what
is said of him, but • what he himself
,wrote and printed during tfie Wax. -Can
any loyal man vote fora candidate, with
suit a record—who could scarcely find
"terms strong enough to express his hos
tility to the War for the suppression of
the Rebellion, denounced Luicolri its a
tyrant and usurper—Grant as a butcher
—and yet had only smooth words for
Rebels and traitors, and even the assas
sin Booth? No wonder, pow that Mr.
Meyers is begging for votes, he and his
friends object to dragging into the con
test what they ca'l "dead issues," and
seek to ignore thks 'ugly record: It was
made when Mri lawyers believed the
Union armies would fail to crush the
Rebellion, and don't suit the present
status of things. But it of his -own
making and he must stand by it.
A CORUESPONDEXT of the Compiler
—a rabid Secessionist in 1861 audli sym
pathizer with traitors during the war,
and who cannot even now cover his
tracks—vindictively assailt Col. Eph
raim Myers; the RepubliCan nominee
for Assembly.. While Col. Myers was
' cordially supporting' the Government,
:nal contributing largely of his means to
promote the comfort of Union soldiers,
this anonyous scribler was blatant in
his denunciation of "Abe Lincoln's
hirelings," and always prognosticating
disaster to the Union armies. He now
seeks to damage Col. Myers by preten . -
tious professions of regard for the. boys
in blue who crushed tht Rebellion. Al
though the ass assumed the lion's skin,
the ear-marks were there; and so with
this anonymous assailant. He has yet
to learn , that detraction is not
argument, and that candidates for office
are not damaged by personal abuse.
AFTER years of persistent and con
sistent denial and concealment, and
when longer concealment wouldn't an
swer, the Democratic County officials in
January last, admitted that the Colinty
was in debt to the amount of about
$50,000,000. This confession was wrung
out of them, to justify the increase of
the County tax to 8 mills. To whom
and in what amounts this debt is owing,
and' what interest is paid by the county,
does not appear—the "ring" not having
as yet deigned to enlighten tax-payers
on that topic. If we can't get the facts
from the present management, would it
not be well to put men into the Boards
who frill give the requisite information?
Neither Joseph Bayly iibr J. Watson
Barr will:agree to cover up matters that
the people have a right and ought to
know. Let us have LIGHT as well as
REFORM.
WHILE the Compiler disclaims any
desire to have colored voters support
the Democratic ticket, the leaders are
busy at work in this borough and other
districts trying to manipulate colored
votes for Democratic candidates. The
Compiler's negro-phObia blustering is all
bosh—intended to arouse ignorant pre
judice—while a keen eye is kept to prac
tical results. If any innocent Demo
crat doubts it, he can satisfy him
self by watching the polls where
colored men vote. The only trouble
just now lies in the fact that the mass
of the colored voters in Adams county
are intelligent enough to know that the
Republican party represents the true
principles of Freedom, and will vote ac
cordingly.
THE office of County Auditor is too
often neglected. A skilful accountant
and shrewd business man, with integri
ty of characte,t o in auditing the county
accounts, can not only detect improper
claims, but protect the county by disal
lowing improper vouchers. Such ama •
is G. Washington Lott, the Republican
nominee for county Auditor. Elect
_him, and there will be a guarantee, at
least, that the tax-payers will know
what kind of vouchers make up the sum
total of county expenditures, and where
the money goes to. At present, in the
.way by which the published; table of
Receipts and Expenditures is made up,
we defy even a "Philadelphia lawyer"
to make any thing out of them.
MR. CEsszre is being denounced be
cause, as a Member - of the Committee
of Elections, he did not find that Gen.
JAMBS SHIELDS was elected in one of
the districts of Missouri.
The only weakness in SHIELDS' case
was not, that he is not an excellent man
and was not a good soldier, but that he
did not receive a vugerity of the legal
dotes cast at the election.
If he had, he wbuld have obtained the
seat—as other Democrats did who con
tested with a good case.
Mr. CUSNA'S duties on the Election
Committee, were arduous, and bis dis
charge of them was highly honorable to
hithself.. Hence, the bitterness with
which he is assailed.
Tins appears to be a good year for ex-
Know-Nothings in the Copperhead
party; for they have that class of can
didates all over the country.
Li New York, the .Brookses are, of
course, at the head of the heap, with
Millard Fillmore smiling approval.
In Pennsylvania, have we not our own
beloved Benjamin F. Meyers?
In Ohio, Lewis D. Campb,ell is the
candidate against Gen. Schenck.
In Maryland, Tom Swami, chief of
the Blood-Tubs, has just been unani
mously re -nominated for Congress, and
is supported by the Baltimore Sun
And- so on, all over. — TheX. N.'s ap
pear to have captured the Cops.
TnE tax-payers of Adams county
hive an opportunity this fall to intro
duce some reform in the management
of the county offices. Joseph Bayly and
J. Watson Barr are both mei of imbletn
'ished reputations for integrity and fair
leafing. The former in the Commis
sioners' Board and the latter in the
Poorlibuse Management, would be a
bar to extravagance and greatly modify
the character of county expenditures.
Independent Democrats, who desire
form in these positions, now have' an
.opportunity to realize their wishes,
voting for Messrs. Bayly and Barr.
A YEAR ago, Copperhead leaders de
nied there had been auR increase in the
County Debt. ,
Now, they admit it is about.s4B,ooo--
beingforcecl M tell that much' in other
to_ justify an increased taxation.
But they still refuse to give the mhole
truth. They evidently fear to mike a
aeon breast of it.
If we had a Republican Bosrd, the
facts might begot at. The Copperheads
evidently prefer darkness. .
HAVE the People a right to know the
amount of the County Debt?
Will the Conunissionere' office cola*-
*. south, and levy increased laws; or
will it face the people with the whole
truth?
THE DAMAGE
The fate of this bill is bound ap

,T4othhig ham.; so greatly damagek . the,
Bill,th last Irion* as that the,
representatives m the counties
Ing, were allcopperheads—belonging
ntti
to, and co-openg s with, the minority
party in the Legislature.. We may con
sider it very unfair and unjust to have a
reasonable and good claim prejudiced in
this way; Wt. the, fact remains, that it
has been so. In legislative affairs, much
depends upon the personal fitness and
the personal relations of representatives;
and it is but reasonable to suppose that
a band of men pressing a large claim
for , damages, and all belonging to one
political party, would not have much in
fluence with the other party. And
when we remember that, in this case,
the representatives have been on' the
minority side, we can readily see why
they have met with so poor success.
• It would be the part of wisde by
claimants to elect Col. Ern It AIM YERS
to the Legislatnre, for the reason that
he would naturally have influence with
his political friends, and would more
likely be successful with the bill, than
Mr. Hereter. Mr. MYEES is a very ac
tive, energetic, and attentive man, and
may be relied upon to serve his consti
tuents in this respect, with zeal and
fidelity. Ile was himself a large suffer=
er—and is fully committed to the
Mr. Ilereter, on the other hand sus
cd no dam Ayes, as we understand; and
we have beard from some of his neigh
bors that he has not hitherto been con
sidered :unang them as friendly to the
bill.
Considering all the facts in the case,
and without at all reglirding any politi
cal considerations, it appears to us to be
clearly, the policy of the Border-Damage
claimants to elect Col. ErnnAnt MrEn.4,
one of themselves, to the Assembly. If
they do not, we have no hope of the suc
cess Of the bill the coming session.
THE DOG AT HIS VOMIT
We intended, from the beginning, to
conduct this canvass, so far as we could
control it, Without touching the pe rso
character of any of .the candidates, We
hoped the Copperheads would do the
same thing. Especially with regard to
B. F. AfeYers, their candidate for Con
gress, we published a paragraph perion
ally complimentary, takeafrom the Som
erset Herithl—hoping that ;the manly
spirit shown by :the Republican press
would be imitated•by the other side; for
this is a contest, not of men, but of
principles.
Instead of that, we find in Mr.
Meyers's own paper—the Harrisburg
Patriot of Tuesday last—a grossly false,
malignant and' unscrupulous attack
upon Mr. CESSNA'S personal integrity.
The attack falls harmless at Mi. CEss-
NA'S feet, and will recoil upon Mr. Mey
ers, who thereby proves himself unfit to
represent an intelligent constituency
anfwhere, much less in the Congress of
the - United States.
Mr. CESSNA is widely known :1:4 one of
the leading lawyers of Southern Penn-
sylvania. His political career has ex
tended over twenty years. We have not
always agreed with him; but it has ever
been impossible not to respect the zeal
and energy, he has thrown into the dis
charge of public duty. The like charac
teristidmark'his prbfessional career.—
It is too late for such traducers as are
now hounding him, to blacken his repu
tation. and he will' be re-elected by a
lanzenvote thsu in 186. ii. Thesia.a.thaPlca
will stimulate his friends to renewed ef
forts, and will cover with shame every
respectable man who belongs to the Op
position.
Democratic, Party has not been
in power since 1860, and is, therefore, not
responsible for any of the evils under
which the country is at present suffering.
B. F. Meyera, in Bedford Gazette.
Pretty cool that—when every school
boy knows that all "the evils under
which the country is at present suffer
taxatiun, and all—is the
direct result of Democratic misrule. Up
to 1860, the General Government, in all
its departments, Executive, Legislative
and Judicial, was in Democratic hands.
They bankrupted the Treasury—destroy
ed the Nationel Debt—and finally involv
ed the Government in a fearful struggle
with Treason and Rebellion. Probably
Mr. Meyers holds now, as he held in
1860, that Treason was not a crime—that
armed Rebellion should not have been
resisted—and that Jeff. Davis should
have been allowed a clear field to sever
the Union and destroy the Government.
The people didn't agree with Mr. Meyers
then—nor will they now.
WE HAD a letter this week from a
Republican friend in Alabama, in which
he says:
,
"If the Ku-Klnx- ,
an be stopped from
the murders they are almost daily commit
ling, we will carry the Stite by a hand
some majority.",
Ifr t iikßs ought to move South'. He
would be made a General of Ku-Klux at
once. He could then enjoy the luxury
of killing off his political opponents to
his heart's content—unless Uncle Sam
should detect him in the act, and put
Uri in a "horrid Bastile."
Tnz Reading Annuli, in speaking of
the Congressional districts of this State,
has this to say of our own district:
"In the 16th (Adams, Bedford, Frank
lin, Fulton and Somerset) Meyers, who is
running on the Democratic side against
Cessna, is an avowed. Free-Trader and a
rank Copperhead, and will be badly beat
en."
MEYERg does not deny his war record,
as published in to -day's paper. -
Bits only excuse is, that he didn't ac
tually write every article he printed.
But if he had not approved, he would
not have printed, or else would have
proteAed!
IT would be interesting reading to
re-produce from the Complier, about
1855, copies of the Know-Nothing oaths
which BElLlemnt P. .Ifrrans took
when a member of that Order. His
present friends would find it a pleasant
retrospect•
IfErzas is said to be devoted, soul
and,body, to the payment of the Dam
age Claims.
Then he'd better be allowed to remain
in Harrisburg where he can coritinue to
be of use to them.

THE COUNTIIIPINDITIMIS
;MAIN FACTlO,rWrilrylr AYER&
la the-pnbljobtiow ' ',last state
-meat of onoty Reeititi3 and Expendi
tures, the County, Commissioners, for
the first time, admitted that. there was
43, county Debt of about $48,990 . 4,5. This
Coufession was *rung from_ them as a
justillcatiou of the increase of taxation
from ,I\to 8 mills; although year after
year the existence of such a debt had
been persistently denied, and the actual
condition ottbe Treasury concealed—
the annual statements being so prepared
as to present just so much Mformation
as the management thought,:prudent to
make public, all, else being carefully
covered , up. Year by year there have
been demands for fuller and more intel
ligible exhibition's of the Receipts' and
Expenditures, as due to .the fax-payers
of both parties. These demands have'
been contemptuously . refused, and we
defy any one to-day to wt, up these
published accounts, and ax positively
where the leak has been. Even now,
while driven to a confession of an ex
isting Debt, they do not deign to tell
the public to whom it is owing—in what
amounts, or what rate of interest is paid
by the county. We only know that
there is a deficienT.,y, from some cause, Of
over Forty-eight Thousand Dollars.
The Corapiltr, having access to the
books and documents, could, if disposed,
throw some light on the subject, but
instead of squarely meeting the issue, it
prefers to dispose of the matter by in-
sinuating that our copta•rn aboa,
simply - grows out of "a little hanker
after the County printing." We could
readily retort, that the Cfmopiler's per
sistent efforts to suppress the truth
must be set down to a desire to rtfaia
the County printing. But that style of
argument is not likely to satisfy tax
payers in either party.
We charge that there has been MIS
MANAGEMENT in the County offices—
both in the Commissioners' office and
the Poor House—that the expenditures
in both have been increasing with fear
ful rapidity, and without any sufficient
cause. We propose now to give the PROOF
—from official figures furnished by the
County Commissioners themselves. We
have taken the trouble to examine the
annual statements of Receipts and Ex
penditures for the last seventeen years,
beginning with 18.53, and annex the age
gregate of expenditures in each year, a 3
also those of the Poor-house. To deal
fairly, in preparing this table, we have
in each year deducted the amounts paid
on temporary loans and interest—the
figures below showing the amount paid
out each year as actual expenses. If the
vouchers for debt and interest phid were
included, the aggregates would be much
larger. If ally doubt the accuracy of
this table they can verify it for them
selves by taking up the annual state
ments as they have appeared in the
Cwiipiltr itself:

invite for it the careful attention of
candid men. It developer a few im
portant facts:
1. From 1853 down to 18414, a period
of 12 years, the county expenses ranged
from about $17,000 to s2l,ooo—the ex
ceptional increase in 18,58, 1850 and 1862,
being occasioned by the building of the
new Court-house and the payment of
soldiers' bounties.
2. In 1804, from some mysterious, u
explained cause, the County expenses
of a sudden leaped up to over $29,000,
and the Poor-house to over $lO,OOO
Since then they have been going ui
steadily and surely every year—the for
mer being more than double what they
were in 1853, and the latter more than
rebled
3. It is very clear that the present
deficiency is not traceable to the new
Court-house, of which the ('oaspiler is
constantly-prating. That was built in
1858 and 1859, and the vouchers show
at it eras paid ftn• in full in those years
4. It is also very clear that the War
had little . Or nothing to do with the pres
ent enormous expenditures.. In 1860,
1861, 1862, (deducting Bounty •expendi
tures,) and 1863, the expenses both in
Commissioners' office and Poor-house,
stood about the same as from 1852 to
1860. In 1864, when the Rebellion was
tottering under the ponderous blows of
Gen. Grant, when the premium on gold
had fallen 100 per cent., and the neces
saries of life had got back to normal
prices—we find an amazing increase in
the expenditures of the county.
Now these are plain, stubborn rac-rs,
and as such we submit them to the sober
attention of tax-payers. If they are
satisfied with the exhibit, well and good.
We should like a single question an
swered by tliose in authority:
In 1863, in the midst of the Rebellion,
when gold was at fearful premium,
and prices of all -Kinds ruled high, the
County expenditures footed up $19,02.6-
43. How comes it that in 1869—with
peace and plenty in the land—the County
expenses were $38,042 17—just DOUBLE
that of 1863?
