Olobe. HUNTINGDON, PA Wednesday morning, Sept. 2501867. W)1. LEWIS, MIGII LIN DSAY, EDITORS Xe — The new Governor of Califor nia is a war Democrat, opposed to the Congressional plan of reconstruction. _Some of the Republican papers fear that Ohio will go against their party on the 2d Tuesday of October. In that State the negro suffrage ques tion is - fairly in the contest, and is be ing advdeat..ed by the - loaders of the party. DEs_The Philadelphia Evening Tele graph, Republican, don't see success very promising. It says:—'The sue cess•of the Republican party in the ap• proacbing election is not by any means assured." Who will be to blame if the RepUblican party should be defeated ? Republican editors who bare been do ing the bidding of Stevens, Sumner & Co., and all the corrupt mon of their party. The' honest masses tiro in serving such men. ' THAT'S WHAT'S THE TROUBLE.—The New-York Independent, a leading Re publican paper, says: "Such men as Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, and General Butler, are the coulter of the plough; they break ground just a little ahead of the general furrow. Find where these men stand to-day, and you have found where the rest of the par ty will stand to-morrow." It is because the people begin to be lieve that such is the situation of the Republican party that a reaction is taking place. A few years ago and the fanatical 'notions of Wendell Phil lips & Co., were as unpopular as the -treason of Jeff. Davis is to-day, but now negro political equality is advoca ted in every State by most of the Re publican papers and not denounced by any. Is it any wonder then that a largo" number of Republicans are breaking ranks-4acking out from the support of measures they aro opposed IlerWe are passing through an event- I fat period, politically considered. w can only liken it to the campaign suc ceeding the outbreak of the rebellion. Tluire was then but two sides, and men voted one way or the other. A Union party was formed composed of Repub licans and Democrats, amongst whom no partyism existed. Tho first elec tions proved successful to the interests of'this party', and each succeeding elec tion the majorities increased. Tho war ceased, and with it the name of "Union" was dropped and "Republi can" again raised, and a now platform was adopted and new objects sought d'or. The course of this party has been closely watched; of it was expected the restoration of the Union, upon the prin ciples on which the war for that object 'was fought. This restoration has not been accomplished; but we are being plunged in to greater difficulties through the .headstrong perseverance of bold and rabid mess. The thiuking people see this, and hence comes the reaction. 'No . appeale,' no entreaties, no opposi tion can prevent its further progress. It is the strong under-current of the Popular will, which will move the fas teras it widens. Its success will be equivalent to the same popular fooling that existed during the war, and by it wo hope to see a change for the better at no 'distant day. No party can lay claim to the victory that may follow. To the.people, and to the people alone belongs the victory; and no party can succeed which does in spite of their will. ' "DESSIOCRATIO VICTORIES." -till elec tions that have gone against the Re publican party this fall have been claim ed as "Democratic Victories," and the same claims will be made in the elec. tiOns yet to come off whore the Repub. 'leans may be defeated. All such claims aro and will be false. The Democratic organization to-day is no stronger than it was during the war or since its close —but as a choice of evils thousands of conservative independent voters vote for Democratic candidates and give them success in hopes of bettering the financial as well as the political condi tion'ol the country. The "Democratic Victories" 'aro in truth conservative victories, made such, not by the vote of the Democratic organization, but by the independent voters who since the war commenced, voted with what was a Union party. This independent vote was the back-bone of the war party, and if properly aroused, will yet save the country from ruin. Credit should be given where credit is due—to the honest independent voters of the coun try—to, voters ever ready to vote for men and measures, they may believe will boat advance the best interests of our whole country. Give us a Union in reality, peace, prosperity and happi ness, and the independent vote does not care what party fills the offices. The country is tired of mere political legislation, such as has been "the order of the day" for almost every day dur ing the ses:3ionb of Congress and State Logislatures since the rebellion has been crushed by the strong arm of the Union army. Official returns of the Maine election received from four hundred and forty two towns, give Chamberlain (Radical) 56,400, and Pillsbury (Democrat) 41,- 702. Majority fur Chamberlain 11,704. ra„Among the good results of our late conflict—one which is hardly sec ond in importance to the abolition of slavery—was the almost total annihi lation of the State Bank system, md the substitution .of. a National, for the dubious currency forMerly:in existence. Such a result would net have been ef fected in a'tirrie of peace. The' Na tional Bank system was a war meas• are and designed to enlist the banking capital of the country, in aid of the finances of the Government, and the profits wore so great that the State Banks almost universally relinquished their charters and hastened to embrace the opportunity of organizing under the National system. Other capital ists also finding they could employ their means profitably, obtained char. tors. Thus a demand was created for Government securities and the Treas ury was placed in funds to put down the rebellion. The operation of the now system was profitable to the capitalist, beneficial to the Government, and aid ed much in ridding us of a currency, under which constant losses were being sustained , byitbe community through failures, discount, &e., &c. The Nation• al Treasury however now_ needs all her resources in order to maintain the credit of tlio — Nation, and liquidate her immense debt; taxpayers are clamor ous for a reduction of their burdens, and every possible means will have to be resorted to in order to satisfy them. That the currency furnished us by the National Banks is not any better than greenbacks, nor in fact quite as good, is manifest, and conse quently the latter may as well be sub stituted, and thus relieve the govern ment from the payment of interest in gold upon some three hundred millions of dollars. Of this none can complain except the Banks, who will be depriv ed of this great source of profit, but they have been amply compensated for the aid they rondored during the war, and ought not now to exhibit any op position to Congross adopting such measures as will tend toward relief of the business of the' country from pros cut heavy taxation. Trying to Kill Him Off. There aro several prominent gentle men in the Republican ranks anxious to bo the Presidential candidate of the party next fall, and fearing that Gen. Grant may be in their way, have al ready gone to work to kill him off. Thu following circular has been issued by a committee in the interest of Speaker Colfax, of Indiana, located at Washing• ton. The other candidates no doubt endorse all but the 16th reason : SIXTEEN REASONS IWI/Y OUR REPUBLI CAN PARTY SHOULD NOT RUN GEN GRANT FOR PRESIDENT IN 1368. 1. He has all he deserved at the hands of the American people. 2. Ho could not deliver an Inaugural Address. 3. Because no Democrat has succeeded for the past quarter of a century as President of the United 'States. 4. Because at this peculiar period in ' the history of our great country we need an ABLE AND EXPER IENCED STATESMAN at the "White House." 5. Because One Hundred Thousand Graves and Pour _Million of Freed. men DEMAND A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT AND VICE PRES IDENT. 6. He is now and always has been a Democrat, and has never indorsed the Republican Party. 7. Because he has proved a failure in every capacity outside of the mili' tary. 8. Ho claims to have no knowledge of Politics or National affairs. 9. Because all the Democratic and Reb el papers indorse him. 10. He has followed our drunken Dem ocratic Johnson in all his Rebellious rows against Congress and our party 11. Because he has insulted the Repub• lican Party by indorsing the remo• val of the Secretary of War and accepting the position himself. 12. We have one hundred better men for President. 13. Because all parties claim him as belonging to their party. 14. We have the power to elect a Statesman, if wo wish to. 15. Because the Democrats and Rebels have no other available candidate. 16. Because Illinois gave us INLNIOR TAL LINCOLN, and Indiana of fers OUR MOST AVAILABLE CANDIDATE. AMERICAN REP URL ICA NS. ItOrPLEASE POST THIS UP This circular is a fair sample of the meat-ax style of opposition made by the political_ candidates of the present day towards each other. No man's good name is safe with them. To se cure positiciriand power that their own selfish ends may be +accomplished, they aro e'er ready to sacrifice their country's honor. General Grant, so long as he remains true to the people, the honor and best interests of his country, and refuses to yield to the de mands of the politicians, will continuo to be the favorite candidate of the loyal masses of all parties for the next Presidency. klf the Republican party should be defeated in this State, or in most of the Senatorial and Legislative districts, it will bo nothing more than the party deserves. Almost in every instance where the party had the power, the most damnable political corruption has been winked at, and attempts made to keep the people ignorant of the rascal ides practiced. We do not say that Democrats would be any more honest —but a great many Republicans think a change would not make the "situa tion" worse—might make it bettor. One thing is certain, a reform must soon take place, or the people will be ruined by an increase of taxes. The extravagance and corruption in the last Legislature will not soon be for gotten, Parties in the South. We clip the following article from the Albany of News, to show the state of political _affairs in that State : "We have not the. least idea, that if the Radicals could have foreseen that which-As becoming more apparent every day—a tendency, upon the part of the colored people to ignore white men as counsellors and leaders—even if they are of the most Radical type politically—they would ever have committed themselves to such a scheme as negro suffrage. That there is a strong feeling of caste—of exclusive ness—increasing among the negroes, no ono dare deny. A few months ago, the most arrogant of the race would pay duo deference to superior intelli gence, and grant that the whites had greater experience; and therefore should be elevated . as leaders. This was very complimentary and soothing to a few adventurers who had come among us for spoils, and a few "small ' fry politicians," who under the old meg ' line, never possessed intelligence and ability enough to gain position among their neighbors, but have now espous ed the radical cause, hoping that the credulity of the negro would give them the desire of their hearts. But, alas! fur the aspirations of these vaporing patriots, the negroes have made a dis covery, and are disposed to use it. They have discovered, that by blind and fanatical legislation, they have be come the controlling political power, and they are determined to exert that power for the special interest of their own particular class. An exhibition of this assurance was made at Atlanta when the negroes demanded an equal division of policemen of the City Coun cil. If the council dares to refuse they will in the future elect councils of their own caste. They feel that political and social equality are facts already accomplished, and that no reaction of public sentiment can deprive thorn of them. Hence they feel heSitancy in throwing aside the counsels of the de graded and designing demagogues, through whose influence they have been elevated. A month or two ago, the colored men of this community', gave the first symptoms of this revolt. They determined in their caucus, so we are creditably informed, to vote for no man unless he was Southern born. This was the death knoll to the hopes of "squatters." However, it has had the influence to bring to the surface a few "Southern barn" who were willing to make the sacrifice, for the profits of the office. But alas; a change has come, and Sambo thinks he is capable of running the machine, and will at tend to such matters himself. Hence in this community we may look for an African party—so exclusively African that none can hope for the emoluments and honors of office, unless they bear plainly in their complexion the eviden ces of dark blood. A black heart alone can be no longer palmed off upon them, —their needs must be a black face. This is no idle speculation—it is truth. Lot him who can, prove it false. Nor is it a matter of surprise, that the ne groes thus favored above the whites who formerly held them, and whom they have by all the ingenuity and en ergy of radicalism, been taught to hate and mistrust, should desire to display their newly acquired ascendancy." Antietam Cemetery Dedication. KEEDYBVILLE, September 17,1867. The dedication of Antietam National Cemetery took place to-day. The pro gramme carried out was as follows : Military and Masonic bodies escorted the President and party to the Ceme tery, where, in the presence of an im mense throng, the exercises opened by prayer. Governor Swann, on assuming the Presidential chair, tendered a welcome to President Johnson and the Geyer. note of other States, who came to par ticipate in the ceremonies. After al luding to the part taken by Maryland in establishing the cemetery, he said: "We aro here in calm sunshine to min gle our tears with the survivors for those who sacrificed life for their coun try upon this field." He invoked the Almighty to speedily restore harmony to the whole country. A hymn was then sung by the as semblage. The corner stone of then Monument was then laid by the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Mary land. The oration was than delivered by Ex• Gov. Bradford: After referring to the distinguished persons present, ho stated that in response to a vote of thanks of Maryland to the army for protecting the State from rebels, the' Commander of that army eommitted the romaine of those who fell to the care of tho State. The details of the action by Maryland in the matter wore given by the orator. The num ber engaged on the field of Antietam on the Union side was 87,640, while the rebel force was estimated at 97,000. Tho previous campaigns of the army wore referred to and the anxiety of the public mind depicted. The discs• tors to the army under Pope, its shat tered condition, its reorganization by Gen. McClellan, and victory won over the confident hosts of the rebellion by that reorganized army, were dwelt on at groat length, with many correlative facts and circumstances. Ho conclu ded by invoking adherence to the Con stitution and said : "Come the peril to it whence it may, from State Rights or Consolidation, let me,on the anniversa ry of its adoption, in the name of the men who made it, by the memory of the mon who have died for it, on this spot, where blood has been so profuse. ly shed in its behalf, appeal to you to preserve, protect and defend it." The poem was next delivered. Remarks followed from President Johnson and others, after which' the services closed with a benediction, and the President and party were escorted to the station. Salutes were fired at sun rise, during the procession, and at the close. Every thing passed off well. te_The Alleghany Temperance League has placed in nomination Mat thias M.

REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES.-It may not be generally known that the ground on which the city of Nashville now stands was once the site of an an cient and populous town, yet such is supposed to be the fact. Some of the most interesting antiquities of our State aro found along the lower course of Stone river, but a few miles from Nashville. A wide area- of country there is covered thickly with thous ands of graves of now forgotten peo ple. But a few days ago several gentle men made some researches in this re gion, and found their labors richly re warded by some striking discoveries. At a place known as Scholl's Spring they found a mound of considerable height, and perhaps forty feet in di ameter, which proved upon examina tion to bo nothing less than a vast mausoleum of the dead. Tho graves were found to be made of flat rocks, symmetrically joined together, and three tiers deep from the base of the mound to its apex. Bones were found in a remarkable state of presorvation, together with pottery and shells. Very large ornaments have been dug out in this locality, made from shells found only in the Gulf of Mexico.. A gentleman of acknowledged skill and authority in antiquarian matters, who conducted the reseachers made a few days ago, estimated that the re mains which they unearthed could not have a less age than six or seven hundrcthyears. What is remarkable, no warlike implements are found in this locality, from which it is inferred that they were a peaceable race, and were probably exterminated or driv en away by the Indians. In one of the graves was found a beautiful little vase, which had been placed in the hand of the inmate of the tomb at the time of the burial. Upon this lit tle bit of earthenware was the model of a diminutive animal The care which these people took of their dead shows a high degree of humanity. We learn that other investigations in this sec tion are to be made ore long. The field is certainly a rich ono for the an tiquarian.—Nashville Times.

Tho Crawford County system of making nominations was tried in the staunch Republican county of Lancas ter this year for the first timo, and it worked admirably.

' A great geological curiosity has just been deposited in the museum of the Hartley Institution, at Southampton, England, consisting of a piece of flexi ble stone, about two foot long, seven in ches wide, and more than ono inch in thickness, baring the appearance of rough sandstone, which bends, with a slight pressure, like a piece of Indian rubber or gutty penile of the same size.

Hell was the name they gave-that newly diseovored country. The Scie'ntilic American is authority for the statement that it is contempla ted, on the completion of a new rail road from London to Liverpool, to run express trains which surpass anything yet realized in railway travelling in any country.

"BURLEIGII" writes from Now York to the Boston Journal: Leaning on the granite pillar of ono of our hotels yes terday, I saw a well-dressed young man, not over thirty; he was very drunk.

READ THE RECORD 1 I l As the Radicals have nominated SAMUEL MCVITTY for the Senate, it is proper that the people of the District, of both parties, should know who he is. And for this purpoqe, without malice, we propose to give a chapter of his history. In 1841. John Brotherline, the present ed itor of the Blair county Radical, and a sup porter of McVitty for the Senate, was the Whig candidate in this county, which then included Blair, for Sheriff. Christian Coots of this borough, was an independent Demo cratic candidate. John Shaver, of Shirley township. a Whig, came out as an independ ent candidate against both the others. Sam uel McVitty then lived at Shirleysburg, and was a Democrat. He and Judge Leas, of Shirleysburg, who was also a Democrat, were Coots men, but believing that Cents could not ho elected, they determined to 'strike a corrupt bargain with Shaver, and then have Cents withdrawn. In pursuance of this de termination, McVitty, Leas, Coots and Sha ver met in secret at Shirleysburg, on the Bth day of September, 1841, when MoVitty and Leas drew up the following paper, and had Couts and Shaver to sign it in their presence; we copy it exactly, except some corrections in orthography: MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT made and conclu ded upon, by and between Major John Shaver of Shirley township, Huntingdon county, Penne , of the ono par:, and Christi in Coots, of the borough of Huntingdon, of the other part, Witnerxetli, That the sold Major Shaver agrees that provided he is elected Sheriff of Huntingdon county, Pa, this coming fall s election,that he will ap point said hrlstian Coots his only eputy doting the teen the said Major Shaver holds the office, and to give hint a reasonable share of the precepts to servo; nod the said Shaver agrees to give the said Coate the full fees on every precept that the said Cents serves; and further the Ferri Shaver doth agree to give the Said Coats the Jail to keep; to give him privlb ge to move into rho jail house on I to let the o rid Coots have all tire profits of the jail, and also to give the cold Conte the privilege of convoying all the convicts to the Penitentiary with the exception of ono or two trips nhich the said Shaver reserves for him self. And further the said Conte on his part doth agree to use all fair and honorable means to promote the suc cess of the said Major Shaver's election for Sheriff, and the gild Coots doth 'wive front this time to decline being a candidate and to make known his declination In the news papers of this county ; and further tire said Cords doth bind himself to become personally liable for all resporisi bilitien to the said Shaver for oldies as Jailor in case of neglect of duty ; and the said Cents doth agree to furnish the said Shaver with bearding and horse feed during the term of office; at the following rates : two dollars per week for every teenty-one meals eaten; end the said Cents is to let the said Shaver have oats and hey far Iris horse at a small profit; the said Shaver having the privi lege of discontinuing h e boarding, Ac., when he sees pro per.

D. 1842. .1011N.BRA VER.[L. S. 011aISTIAN COUTS. e.J This agreement—so full—so minute and handsomely drawn—was the work of Samuel MeVitty, the present Radical candidate for Senator, and his friend and conferee, Hon. William B. Leas. Everything went on finely under this ar rangement. Couts withdrew as-a candidate, and Jolla Shaver was elected Sheriff, But now came the trouble. The Whigs made a desperate raid on Shaver and he then refused to stand by his bargain, and appointed John Armitage his Deputy, instead of Christian Cents. After Shaver's election, McVitty did not care so much about Cants' appointment, if he dl!fitld only be made Deputy himself, and to secure his own appointment, he, Judge Leas, ,and a prominent Democratic lawyer of this place, went to Shaver's house in the night, soon after his election—but failed to find him at house—and thus both °cuts and McVitty were thrown overboard. Shaver having thus violated his faith, McVitty deter mined on revenge, and had Shaver indicted for corruptly influencing Christian fjords to support his election. Having been instru mental in having Shaver do what lie did, lie then indicted him for it. An indictment to No. 4, November Ses sions, 1841, was drawn against John Shaver, and a True Bill was found by a Grand Jury of which Joseph Smith, Esq., a prominent Radical of Gollidaysburgolnd a present friend of McVitty, was Foreman. On the 15th of January, 1842, Shaver being arraigned, plead not guilty, but the Jury returned a verdict - of "(milli/ in manner and form as he stands in dicted," and SAMUEL MeVITTY, in that trial, was a witness for the Commonwealth! Oh, shame! On the 16th April, 1842, Shaver was sentenced to pay a fine of 5100 and the costs, and to undergo an imprisonment in the jail of the county for one month ; and John Simpson, coroner, was ordered to exe cute the sentence : and '• Sheriff Shaver was sent. in tears, to jal. Thus McVitty had obtained his revenge upon Shaver; but the end had not yet come. The same Grand Jury that found the bill against Shaver—Joseph Smith, Foreman— made the following I= _ . against John Sinner) do present Christian Couts, Inn• keeper. of the borough of Huntingdon, and SAMIIEF, MOYITTr, Esq., and William B. teas, of the borough of Shirleyebtirg, Huntingdon county, for a violation of tho ,122 d nod 1211 beclieos of the net-01'July, 1039, entitled "an net relating to the elections of the Commonwealth of Penooylvania," and the other acts of tho tloneral Amnn. bly and fame and Constitution of the said Commonwealth JOHN SMITH, Foremen. Upon this presentment, an indictment for conspiracy was drawn, and a true bill was found on the 14th of January, 1842, by a Grand Jury of which Jeremiah Hutchison, now deceiteed, was Torero, n.
