HUNTINGDON,
Weclnesday morning, Aug. 21, 1867.
IVM. LEWIS,
EDITORS
RECUT LINDSAY,
General Grant "accepted" the
situation as he foumi it, when Presi
dent Johnson offered him the pubition
of Secretary of War. Stanton acknow-
ledged to giving way to "superior
force," and so the matter stands until
a new Secretary is appointed by the
President, or until Congress convenes,
in November.
geir Robert feels sore over his defeat
for County Treasurer. Ho was so ear
nestly the friend of a soldier that ho
declined being a candidate against Lo
gan on tho morning of the nomination
after ho had been informed by dele
gates that "ho couldn't come in."—
Two years labor and anxiety nipped
in the bud by a soldier repudiated last
fall by the Soldiers' League. Poor
Robert! "The first shall be last and
the la'st shall bo first."
"WE hazard the prediction that if
ever the right of suffrage is conferred
upon the, negro in this State it will be
in con'sequence of Democratic opposi
tiOn to the measure.—Jour. & Ant.
An honest confession,—thtft what
over Democrats propose Republicans
will oppose, and what Democrats op
pose Republicans will advocate. Such
a spirit is just what is wrong in parties,
and is the power party leaders use to
force upon the people measures the
majority of the people aro honestly op
posed to. The position of ,the Journal
d: American is now plainly understood
—it is in favor of negroes voting and
holding office in this and every other
State, simply because Democrats op
pose their voting and holding office.
ORDER DISAPPROVED.—The second
supplemental reconstruction act • re
quires the virtual approval of General
Grant"of all of the orders which any
district commander may issue. The
first instance of the disapproval of any
order yet issued occurred last week,
when General Grant telegraphed Gen
eral Sickles setting aside his order pro
kibiting.the execution of a process rel
ative to debt, which was issued in
North Carolina by the United States
District Court, Chief Justice Chase pre
siding.
If President Johnson bad disapprov
ed an order of Sickles, party spirit
would have sent up a dreadful howl,
for to such extremes party feeling has
run.
IN TROTIBLE.—Tho leading organs of
both political parties and of all the
principal political factions iu the United
- States, aro now trying to find out
where General Grant stands. Ono or
gan assures us he stands with the Pres
ident—another organ in the interest of
the radicals in Congress assures us ho
favors radical measures—a Conserva—
tive organ assures us he stands be
tween the two extreme parties, neither
approving, of all that Congress has
done or of all the President proposes.
Wo are inclined to believe that Gen.
• Grant will speak at the proper time,
and until then his stand point will not
* be known to politicians. Gon. Grant
is not yet. ready to be caught in the
political traps set for him by the sever
al Presidential aspirants and their
friends. He is in no hurry to disap
point some of his admirers. General
Grant may bo the man who - will save
this country from being destroyed by
the corrupt politicians. Ho may step
in as peace-maker. Wo are for such a
man.-
Now AND THEN.—The editors of the
Journal & American don't like tho kind
of reading matter wo give our readers.
We have net yet mado up our mind to
consult thorn es to what we shall pub
lish. If we cannot endorse Stevens
Co. radicalism and fanaticism we are
willing to take, the responsibility as
John A. Nash, tho publisher, proprie
tor and editor of that paper did a few
years ago when he uttered in his;pa
per the following sontiments:
"This . infamous Black Republican
party, which, for meanness, outstrips
any other political party that was over
organized in this or any other enlight•
oned country. Tho baseness of its
tactics has rendered it odious to every
TRUE American, and as a party, is fit
only for the association of niggers."
This was Mr. Nash's opinion but a
few years ago, as we can show by 'his
own paper. We have never said as
hard words of the Republican party,
but we have said and still say as hard
words of individual members of the
party, and think and say the same of
individual members of the Democratic
party. •
fa - Another cable is being laid from
Key West, Florida, to Cuba. The
shore end of the cable was landed at
Key West on the 3d, and on the 4th
twenty miles were paid out, when it
was cut and buoyed in one hundred
and thirty fathoms of water. The
next day the shore end was laid at the
town of Chorrera, on the Cuban coast.
Tha'vessel got ofF the true course to
the buoy, and it was with difficulty
that the ends could be found.
rm. A terrible earthquake occurred
in Java, on the 18th of Juno. The
greater part of the indigo and sugar
manufactories,
* private houses and
military establishments were all de
stroyed at Diokjdo, but in other dis
stricts the damage was not so extensive.
The loss, however, is incalculable. The
sugar crop is totally lost:A largo num
ber of Europeans and natives perished.
Reports says three hundred.
1=
The Conventions.
We attended both political Conven
tions held in this place last week, as a
looker-on, and for no other purpose
than to report their proceedings as
correctly as possible. Tho proceedings
of each, and wo believe them correct,
will bo found in another part of this
paper. The - Republican Convention
was the strongest body of the kind we
have seen in the county for many
years. Faction could not control the
Convention, as able debaters enforced
common souse ideas. Of• the ticket
put in nomination wo will at present
eay nothing, more than that the nom
inations for the local county offices are
men we believe well selected for the
positions, with the exception of the
candidate for Jury Commissioner.—
The Jury Commissioner should be a
man personally acquainted with every
man in the county, or as near so as it
would bo possible to find such a man.
In the selection for this office the Dem
ocratic Convention made a similar mis
take—a similar failure.
The'Democratic Convention was a
"usual" affair only more careless
than in former years in selecting can
didates for the local offices, with per
haps but ono exception, and that ex
ception is David A. Thompson for a
Treasurer. Mr. Thompson was a good
soldier for four years and is competent
to fill the office.
What wo may say hereafter, as the
political campaign opens, will bo said
from an independent stand-point. We
neither belong to tho Republican or
ganization, nor to tho Democratic or
ganization. We have more desire to
see the people and our whole country
blessed with peace and prosperity - ,
than we havo to see the success of mere
party organizations or party men.
JURY COMMISSIONERS.- Under the
new law which came into existence
last winter, two jury commissioners
will be elected in this county at the
next election,--one from each party,—
as inspectors of elections are elected.
The men elected, (to carry out honest
ly the full intent of the law,) should be
well acquainted with the people of all
sections of the county. The gentlemen
put iu nomination last week will cer
tainly not claim to be such men—in
deed we doubt whether they aro more
than well acquainted with the people
of the townships in which they live.•
The mistake in their nominations was
not their fault—it was the fault of the
'delegates in the convention, and the
candidates will show good sense by
at once declining a position they are
not competent to fill, and ask for the
selection of men fully competent to
give the law a fair trial. There aro
many men in the county who would
make good jury commissioners, and we
hope pr9PO'men:may yet be selected.
Any ottbe followieg gentlemen would
make good jury commissioners: Ex-
Sheriff G. W. Johnston, Ex-Sheriff W.
B.- Ziegler, Ex-Sheriff Joshua Green
land, Ex-Sheriff Graffus Miller, John
Flennor, George Jackson, A. P. Wilson,
Jabob Creswell, John F. Miller, and
others we do not just now think off.
Costly Legislation.
(We take the following article from .
the editorial columns of Forney's Press
of last Friday. It gives facts and fig
ures, and should satisfy , every reader
that a great reform is necessary.)
COBTLY LEGISLATION.--WO have put
ourselves to some trouble to ascertain
accurately what our late Harrisburgh
Legislature has cost. It is a matter
that deeply concerns the State, in
which every citizen is deeply interes
ted, and - which badly needs reform.
'Of course, the little-minded Democra
cy when they see this article will print
distorted paragraphs of it, and begin
to cry out and howl about Radical ex
travagance and recklessness, and oth
er sins. But it does not matter. We
have learned to stand and live through
all such petty assaults. We have never
shrunk from acknoweldging Judge
Sharswood's private character and
ability, although•certain that such an
admission would be 'muddy and un
generously quoted next morning in the
Democratic sheets as an endorsement
and argument for the election of that
gentleman. We do not shrink now
from bringing to the light the misdeeds
and misappropriations of our late Leg
islature. Our party is the party of
reform, and the first stop towards ro
formation is a lull and thorough know
edge of the•abuse.
The great reform that we need next
sesrion; and that - we can effect at the
oledtion of this fall, is _retrenchment
and an honest economy in the admin
istration of the affairs of the Common
wealth. This can be best and only
achieved by sending to the coming
Legislature—to the House as well as
the Senate—good men. The abuses of
the last year cry for remedy. The
practical remedy is honest and reputa
ble legislators. That remedy is in the
hands of the people.
We trust that this fall none but the
best men will be sent to Flarrisburgh,
and we are convinced that it is the
will and intention of the people to send
only such. Chester county, leads off
in the nomination (for it is apparently
conceded) of the Ron. John Rickman.
Lot all the other counties follow. Tho
greatest care is needed and demanded
in the selection of Representatives.
Lot no untried or unknown men ho
risked. Let no mon be sent who have
been failures in private life. Let every
voter resolve that there shall go from
his county only such a man as ho
would be willing to select as a trustee
for his property or a guardian for his
children. The members of our Legisla
ture aro the trustees of the Common
wealth. Men who have failed in their
own bnsiness, men who have no busi
ness, scrambling adventurers, political
hacks, inexperienced youths, are not
the proper or creditable representa
tives of any district in this State, yet
they are the class of men who usuitll3
go to Harrisburg. Let this- thing be
Lama
changed. Send your young farmers,
your substantial millers, your trusted
lawyers. Send the men who are execu
tors and trustees in your community,
and you will not likely have to pay
again $265,801.16 as the cost of ono
year'alegislation. .I.IoW this sum was
expended wo - proposo to show item by
item. -Tho accounts of the last sossion
of the Legislature have boon audited.
caroful examination of the books in
the Auditor General's 'office shows the
follotving to have been the expanses
incurred in legislation alone :
Senators' pay, mileage, and stationery,
$35,477 00
•
Representatives' pay, mile
age, and stationery 107,508 45
The legal allowance to each person
was $l,OOO for salary, $25 for station

and ono hundred members therefore
received an average of - $1,075 each one
hundred and ono days (from January
1 to April' 11), or about $10.04 per

Rev. E. L. "Bailey received $3OO
from the Senate, and Rev. J. Kennedy
$3OO from the House, for opening the
daily sessions with prayer, being at
the rate of $3 per diem.
The thirty-three Senators had 29
regular officers, seven pages, twenty
five women, and four reporters who
drew pay. Tho officers drew $28,893•

the women 021, or over $36 each ;
aud.tho reporters $BOO, or $2OO each.
The contingent bill of the clerk of
tho Senate was but $633.44, as against
the contingent bill of the clerk of the
House, which was $4,000.
The ono hundred members of the
House had sixty-five regular officers,
thirteen pages, women and four re
porters who drew pay. The officers
drew $57,530.78, or an average of
$BB5 each ; the pages 62,359.50, or
$lBl each; the women $1,240, and four
reporters $2OO each.
The members and officers availed
themselves of the privileges of frank•

State) to the extent of $9,256, with
other hills not ascertained.
The entire work of the session was
the passage of 1,516 private laws, 73
public laws, and H resolutions.

(prom the. Journal of Mining."
A Call for Enterprising Men.
Hopewell; Bedford county, Pa., Juno
26, 1867.—Editors Journal of Mining :
—Gentlemen : I have frequently been
requested, by a number of my friends,
to call public attention to this interest
ing portion of our State, through the
medium of your valuable journal,
which has, doubtless, been the instru
ment through which more true and
valuable information has been imparted
to the American public, than perhaps
any other source. Owing however, to
tho rapid and startling events which
have followed each other during the
last five,or six years, I have up to this
time, deferred doing so, believing that
the public mind was not in a situation
to calmly look into and examine the
peculiar advantages of any particular
locality of our great mineral State, un
til the important issues in which we
wore involved were properly adjusted.
That time having arrived when the
supremacy of our government has
been' fulls- established, and the indefa
tigable energy, that is characteristic of
this great nation in peace or war, is
now ready to be 'directed, and is anxi
ously inquiring for information as to
where capital and industry can be the
most advantageously employed in de
veloping the bidden resources of our
vast country. it is to this class of our
citizens that I wish particularly to call
attention to this hitherto neglected
portion of our State, as rutting all the
natural advantages and resources that
can be desired to open up a great field
of enterprise, and which must eventu
ally become one of the most extensive
iron manufacturing districts in the
State. It has been said "that a prophet
has no honor in his own•country," the
same may be applied with equal truth
to sections of this country, which real
ly possess more wealth than the same
breadth of territory, embracing the
richest gold mines of California. But,
for some unexplained cause, the pecu
liar advantages that nature has deposi
ted at our own doors are overlooked,
and the glittering gold fields of distant
sections of our dountry are selected by
our enterprising young men, as the
field of their future operations, and in
their haste to make money, they blun
der over the seemingly more humble
deposits of nature, to which, if they
could be attracted, and infuse the
same amount of energy in developing,
would most assuredly, in a majority of
instances, find themselves more com
fortable in' a pecuniary point of view,
and have the satisfaction of knowing
that they contributed more to tho in
terests of their fellow men and their
country by helping to build up our
manufacturing interests at home, than
they possibly could have done had
they followed the "ignus llamas" con
templated by so many. This particu
lar seetion_of country, possessing all
the advantages to which I allude, lies
principally along the valley from Hun
tingdon, in Huntingdon county, be
yond Bedford, in Bedford county, to
the Maryland line, and even beyond
that.- Immense beds of brown berna
tite and also foesiliferous ores run thro'
the entire-valley, a distance of, per ,
haps, more than'eighty miles. It has
been estimated by scientific geologists
that there is most certainly a sufficient
amount of ore lying between these
points mentioned to keep one hundred
furnaces in operation that many years;
and, strange as it may appear, up to
this time there is hut one furnace in
the whole valley, and that is situated
at this place. 'ln order to give semi)
idea of the quality of the metal that is
manufactured from the ore of this re
gion, it is only necessary to state that
the principal part of the metal made
hero the last year, has been used in
the manufacture of steel, for which
purpose it is said to be peculiarly ad
apted. As another evidence of the ei
timation in which this ore is held by
those who have tested it, I would say
that a company from Danville, Mon
tour county, Pennsylvania, are now
mining and shipping it from this re
gion a distance of 200 miles, and ire
believe the transportation is altogeth
er by railroad. If they can ship ore
advantageously, which they certainly
do, that distance, you can readily per
ceive the advantage there would be in
the manufacture of the raw material
on the ground where we have the very

best of coal, limestone, water power,
and the all important ore; indeed, all
the facilities and repuisitos to insure a
superior aff well as cheap iron. Last
but not least by any means, we have
the Huntingdon and Broad Top B.
traversing as it were; tho heart of this
valley containing all those mineral re-
sources a distance of 43 miles. I might,
indeed, fill columns of your paper with
this important subject, but I have now
transcended the limits I intended.
Hoping this way find favor with the
class of enterprising men, for whom it
is more particularly intended, - and
they may avail themselves of those
golden opportunities to enrich them
selves, and their country with them, in
developing by their energy this rich
field of deposits; and in the future,
watching these important develop
ments
-which must and certainly will
take place, I may; - perhaps, bo enabled
to give you a more detailed account of
this region of country in regard to
this important subject. I would re
spectfully refer persons desirous of
having any information in relation to
this region to John Fulton, Esq., Presi
dent and Mining Engineer at Saxton,

Jour; F. LOWRY
Letter from the 37th U. S, I, .
DEERINGS WELLS, COLORADO
TERRITORY, Aug. sth, 1867.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—Aftor the lapse
of several ninths wo are again found
applicants for admission into your val
uable columns, though in a different
capacity and from a different locality
than at our last appearance in the
Gbouu. Then we were residing within
a few miles of "ye ancient borough,"
serving in the capacity of a "tiller of
the soil." Today we aro cropping the
plains of Colorado, protecting the fron
tier and overland mail from the depre
dations of the Indians.
Without further prevarication we
will give you as accurate and truthful
account of the condition and ability of
the Indians to wage war against the
whites, and their abilities to continue
it, as our observations and our inter
course with mon who have spent, half
of their lives among them with permit,.
In the distant east the tales you read
of the Indian massacres on the plains,
you - merely pass by without giving it a
second thought, treating it perhaps as
some idle report, or oven if true net of
sufficient importance to engage your
attention. But there aro hundreds,:
yes thousands of your countrymen ex
posed to the mercy of the Indians,
standing in dread of the excited pas
sions of the savages waiting nightly to
hear the dread war-whoop as the signal
of an attack on the defenceless dwell
ing. - These naturally are the mon who
have the most to fear, and these are
the men who most desire to have an
effective and vigorous war waged
against the savages, or a treaty of
petico made which will secure them
safety for their lives and property.
Whether or not the Government is ac
ting in a manner which will bring about
those results it is not proper for us to
judge. :But one thing our reason
teaches us is that, with all due respect
to those in power, the present policy
pursued by the Government will nev.
er exterminate the Indians from the
plains or bring about a treaty of peace,
by force of arms never. Though our
forces outnumber the Indians ten to
'one, they possess an advantage over us
that amply replaces that last by their
inferiority of numbers. They will sub
sist whore our troops will starve. They
are mounted on swift• active ponies,
while our Cavalry horses are slow and
sluggish. Their horses will fatten on
the grass on which ours would starve.
Our troops move with all the parapher
nalia of war. They have wagon trains
miles-in length, with supplies, forage,
and other indispensable stores for an
army of men. The Indians can pro
vide themselves each with a piece of
jirked venison, leap on their ponies
and go on a plundering expedition for
a week. You may hear of them at
tacking a certain point to-night, to
morrow morning they may be away
forty-miles striking a blow some place
where they aro least expected. Is
there any use in our troops following
them? No. By the time they reach the
place where Kist seen, the Indians
would be fair away, in their own camp
in some distant bluff,miles away where
no Nrbito man dare enter. Why not
adopt the system proposed by those
men who have spent their lives among
the Indians, men who aro acquainted
with their habits and dispositions, their
inclinations and their passions. It is
useless to attempt to civilize them; as
a general yule the males aro indolent,
and improvident; they bear no resem
blance to a civilized people, but in form
and appearance, and even in this re
spect;sacrifieing the similitude by their
long and hereditary habits of savagery.
In instincts and morals they are deba
! sod below the brute creation. Let the
Government then call together the
heads of the different tribes and agree
to establish as near the centre of the
different tribes as possible, and issue
rations to the tribes as they need them.
Starvation is ono of the main .causes
that put them on the war • path, and
that cause removed and they will em
brace the first opportunity to come to
peace, provided their rights are pro
tected by the Government. If wo can
conceive of any cause for them to rise
in war,again, ,it would be out of pure
jealousy and'among themselves, of the
good food, and the happiness they
were enjoying. Dispense with the vil
lainous sot of agents that rob them of
their annuities. Let the Government
see that they are regularly and fully
received by them, and mark our
