OUR CANDIDATES:
•
FOR PRESIDENT,
S.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
G-_
FOR AUDITOR GENERAL,
GEN. JOHN P. EARTRANFT,
OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL,
GEN. JACOB 11 CAMPBELL,
01 , CAMBRIA COUNTY.
Elections are taking place in
most of the Southern States. 'North
Carolina, Louisiana and Georgia have
adopted their Constitutions by small
majorities.
116-Gen. James S. Brisbin, by his
attack en Ex-Governor Curtin, has in
voked for himself a retaliation which
cannot fail to be of groat damage to
him as a soldier and a civilian. The
Pittsburg Commercial is publishing let
ters from all parts of the State, writ
ten by soldiers who place Briabin in a
most unenviable light.
Tim IMPEACHMENT.—AnOther week
and the great trial will be ended. It
is generally believed now that- Presi
dent Johnson will be convicted. What
next ? Congress will then go on re
constructing the Southern States and
possibly may be more successful in the
future than in the past giving peace
where now there is nothing but strife.
A change for the better is very desi
rable..
CLEAR THE TRACK.—President John
son removed, the track will be cleared
to the "policy" of tho Republican par
ty. If that policy should not bring
about a change of the "situation" the
people will rise in their strength and
demand a change of rulers. It is to be
hoped that the loaders of the great
Republican party will so act as to lead
it in the right direction and clear of
breakers.
x7W-The Ohio Legislature, which is
Democratic, notwithstanding it has
completed all its business, still remains
in session, and it is intimated will con
tinue to remain in session, until the trial
of the President is concluded. What it
will do then will be leftfor time to deter
mine.. But what it is doing
s now for
1. 59 , 1e1P ,4 LP-m
expense of ono thousand five hundred
dollars por day, does not speak well
for their ideas of retrenchment.
serA. T. Stewart's attention having
boon nailed to reports that he had with
drawn from the support of Gen. Grant,
has written a letter, saying that such
reports are utterly unfounded. Ile
says : "So far from having withdrawn
from General Grant's support, I am
daily, as far as• one individual can, ex
erting all honorable means to bring
about his (Grant's) nomination and
election; believing it •to be the only
effectual way of giving peace and pros
perity*to our present disunited Union.
Tho President sent to the Sen
ate on Friday last the nomination of
Gen. Schofield to be Secretary of War
—at tho same time asking to withdraw
the name of Thomas Ewing. - General
Schofield is now in command of the
Virginia District, and has lately shown
an opposition to the reconstruction
policy "of the Virginia Radical Con
vention. The Senate will of course
rejeet this last nomination, when it
takes action on the question which will
not be until' after the impeachment
trial ends.
Ear Petuate Suffrage was practically
eXeinplified at the village of Sturgis,
in Michigan, when the now Constitu
tiomof the State was submitted to the
people Jest week. The women of the
village assembled in the afternoon,
were duly marshalled to the voting
place and deposited their ballots, one
hundred and fourteen voting for pro
hibition and only six against it. The
prawn Inge were orderly, and as a
proof of their sympathy for woman's
rights, three hearty cheers for the riew
votes were given by the crowd of men
who looked on.
gs. The house of Representatives
last week adopted by a vote of 75 to
44 a bill amendatory of the bankrupt
law. It makes verbal changes in sev
eral sections of the original law, and
authorizes registers in bankruptcy to
administer oaths in all oases, and in
reference to all matters in which oaths
may be administered by Commission
ers of the Circuit Courts of the United
States. Ono of the most important
amendments declares that in all pro
ceedings in bankruptcy commenced
after January 1,1869, there shall be no
discharge "granted to a debtor whose
assets shall not bo equal to fifty per
centum of the claims proved against
his estate," withoyt the consent of a
majority in number and value of his
creditors: As the law stood before,
this rule wont into effect on the first of
June next. It is now extended until
January. The purpose of Congress is
to cheek the growing disposition of
notoriously dishonest-persons to claim
the benefit of the bankrupt law.
e,Our nation is passing through
another crisis; and it appears that
hardly is ono finished until another is
presented. We have contended with
the past dangers, and passed through
them triumphantly; but what is yet in
store for us, Heaven only knows. In
1861, the war commenced ; in 1865,
alter a bloody and anxious struggle,
it closed; in 1865, President Lincoln
was assassinated; and now we aro wit
nessing the trial 'of his successor for
"high crimes and misdemeanors." What
will follow the close of this event we
are not prOphot enough to foretell. The
reconstruction of the Southern States,.
which five years ago resounded with
the tramp of soldiers seeking the blood
of each other, is not yet completed;
the finances of our nation need recu
peration; the business of the country
to a general extent is running in a
sluggieh channel; and we need unity
and confidence re-established in all
parts of our common country. Does
it not require statesmanship now, if it
ever did ? Will a rigid exaetment of
sacrifices for the good or interests of
mere party save us now? No, em
phaticully no: Statesmen aro.wanted,
whose aim shall bo continually the re
union of our country, North with South,
and South with North. As to Presi
dent Johnson, if ho is in the way of the
establishment of peace, and if ho has
been guilty of the "high crimes and
misdemeanors" for which he is now
being tried, let the Senate render its
verdict in accordance therewith. If ho
is not, then in the future of, his brief
term of office, let Congress act wisely,
and look to a more speedy reconstruc
tion of the Southern States, for with
Congress alono is left the solution of
the problems in political economy that
are now presestcd.
Set• The Kuk-Klux Klan still con
tinue their threats against the Mana
gers of the impeachment, and against
Gon. Grant, Ben. Wade, and others
The country may not suffer from the
more effect of the throats at present,
but if these threats of assassination are
carried into execution, woe betide the
authors. Does the South expect to
receive the sympathy of the North if
it encourages such associations to
deeds of murder. For every loading
Northern man that is assassinated, no
matter how radical ho may be, there
will bo an additional wound inflicted
upon those who desire to see our coun
try united and happy, and it will only
tend to divide and distract us. The
South can only expect leniency when
they show a more submissive spirit,
and we would he sorry if the wounds
of our recent struggle would ho open
;esh by the indiscretion of sumo
Wo will prefer open war to continual
dread of a secret foe ; but of each we
have had enough.
A , PREDICTION.—The Pittsburg Re
public, a Johnson paper, makes the fol
lowing prediction :
"The acquittal of the President will
bring to the country peace, happiness,
harmony and prosperity. The convic
tion and removal of the President must
result in anarchy, despotism, disunion,
ruin and disgrace, and bring on a
crash that will so prostrate the busi
ness of our people that they will nei
ther forget nor forgive any of those
who have a hand in the matter. Pri
ces will go clown with fearful rapidity,
and the revulsion will be more severe
and- astonishing than anything that
has preceded it in the history, of the
American nation. The railroads, the
banks, the telegraph, steamboat and
express linos, coal, oil and other com
panies will break down, and their
stock will not bring ton cents on the
dollar. Interests of all kinds will be
come depreciated, and values will be
come almost worthless. This will be
the result of conviction."
If the people could believe that con
viction of the President would bring
upon the country all the evils named,
but very few, if any, could be found in
favor of his conviction. The "situa
tion" is bad enough alreadywe can't
think of it becoming worse.
GENERAL GRAN T.—The New York
Times eve very justly, it is a mistake
to suppose that it is intended to elect
Grant to the Presidency only upon his
military record. Grant has shown a
capacity . for administration, a fitness
for the performance of civil functions,
a devotion to the principles of tho Con
stitution, a respect for the 'laws, a de
gree of political sagacity and justice,
and a faith in tho ideas of liberty and
progress that col:lstituto. far higher
grounds than his military record why
he should bo elevated to, a position
whero he can use his powers for re
storing peace and prosperity to our
distracted country,

American Industry, convened by Peter
Cooper, Esq., President of the indus

League, will be hold at the Metropoli
tan Hotel, New York, on Tuesday,
April 28, 1868, at 12 o'clock. A gen

that Pennsylvania will be largely rep.
resented.

[For the Globe.]
I have boon reading letters from this im
maculate pen of James S. Brisbin, written
from Lexington; Kentucky, as a member of
the Soldiers National Executive Committee,
to the chairman of that committee,denouncing
in the severest terms, Pennsylvania's first
choice for Vice President. I have also read
several articles published in different papers
throughout the State, showing up this man,
and, although it is giving him entirely too
much notoriety, (just what he wants,) I de
sire to show what manner of man ho is, who
presumes to attack a man who is as far above
him in intelligence, loyalty, honesty, and
virtue, as the heavens are above the earth.
It is either my good or ill-fortune to know
this same Brisbin, and I know him to bojust
what any intelligent man would judge him
to be, after reading one of his crazy letters.
I knew him before the war, when he was ono
of the editors of a Democratic paper in Belle
fonte, and collected nearly or all the debts duo
the establisliment,never giving credit for a sin
gle dollar received, and when his partner com
menced closing up the concern by sending
out bills to his patrons to "pay up," they
came rushing at him with this same Brisbin's
receipts, who had got the money and spent
it, thereby ruining his brother-in-law, who
was his partner. I knew him too, when he
was •'dead in /ore with a certain young lady
not a hundred miles from Huntingdon. When
lie contemplated a visit to her, ho would write
to the Brass Band belonging to the town and
employ them to serenade him. Oh! glorious
Brisbin, he would then deliver himself of a
flaming speech. It must to have cost him
at least $25 for each and every occasion. I
should not forget to mention that he would
write to the editor of the county paper, in
time for the issue previous to his arrival, a
puff, done up in his handsomest style, with a
speech annexed, that was to be delivered to
the aforesaid band,with a very modest request
to publish and oblige. The editor told me
that "Jim" could say better things of "Jim"
than he felt called upon to say himself. I
call him "Jim ;" everybody knew him then
by that name. It is now General (1) if you'
please. I knew him when, by some leger
demain, at the commencement of the war, ho
managed to get a commission as Lieutenant
in the regular army. After the battle of the
first Bull Run he came to Harrisburg badly
wounded. On his way from Washington to
Harrisburg, he had his right arm in a sling.
When he arrived there, ho found it neces
sary to write a few puffs for the newspapers,
in regard to his "valorous deeds" at Bull Run,
and found it inconvenient to do so with, his
loft hand, so by a little "now you see it, and
now you don't sea it," he changed the band
age from the right to the left arm. He was
found in his room writing at a rapid rate, by
a friend who called to see him soon after his
arrival. Shortly after, his wound suddenly
migrated to his side. A friend of the wri
ter, .Who mot "Jim" in Harrisburg, and who
was himself a soldier and had been in the
vicinity of the Bull Run fight, but not enga
ged, told him that there was no use in his
trying to "play off" wounded any longer, as
he would "blow" on him. "Jim" disappear
ed, and no one ever saw his wound, not oven
to this day. He.was never any place where
he could get a wound, either. He was smart
enough during the war to always get himself
placed on detached or special duty of some
kind, thereby avoiding the "shock of battle,"
for "Jim" never could have braved it. I never
hoard. of it, anyhow, nor any one else that I
ever heard of. Letters, such as he has been
writing lately, about Andrew G. Curtin,
coming from General (1) James S. Brisbin,
of Kentucky, are high sounding, no doubt,
but coming from Jim Brisbin, of Centre co.,
Pa., fall harmlessly to the ground, as ema
nating from a whisky befuddled brain. He
dare not go to Centre county and utter such
things. He is known—well known there.—
It is a well known fact, that he is a man de
void of anything like principle, and in Belle
fonte, he is neither liked nor respected by his
relatives or acquaintances. It ill becomes a
bloated buffoon and brainless bombast, who
ptStetTali half
regulated families, to denounce A. G. Curtin
as a bad man, a political trickster, and to say
that the life of our comrade (goak) Grant,
would not be safe for a single day, with Cur
tin as Vice President. He says lie will be
compelled to enter his protest at Chicago,
against Curtin being nominated far Vice
President. All I have to say is, if Gen. (?)
Brisbin shows himself at the Soldiers Nation
al Convention at Chicago on the 19th of May
next, he will exhibit more true courage than
he has ever been charged with being possess
ed of. SELDOM.
GENERAL NEWS.
The Pacific and Union Pacific railroad is
now finished SGO miles west of Omaha.
The Columbia Herald says: The present
flood has carried away a portion of the dam,
near the place where it was repaired last
year. The break is reported by our river
men to be the largest which has occurred in
several years, and Chit in all probability a
largo number of shad will pass up on free
tickets, without the necessity of hunting for
the "Fish Wisr."
A telegram frcfro Port McPherson says the
Indians, supposed to ho a part of Spotted
Tail's band, or Cheyennes, made a dash up.
on men cutting wood, yesterday, killing four
and wounding two, who were brought in.
The killed are John Brown, Gushall, George
Kline and James Viers. The wounded are
E. Hoffman, scalped and badly wounded by
an arrow, and a boy named Tenney, aged 14,
dangerously wounded.
A telegram has been received hero from
the General Superintendent of the road, Mr.
ii. Riddle, to the effect that the report of the
conductor of the sleeping car, who is now in
New York, shows that there were twenty
three passengers in the rear coach that was
completely destroyed by fire. As, so far as
has been ascertained, but two persons escap
ed from this car, and the remains of six only
have been recovered, this leaves fifteen of
whom there is no trace.—.W. Y. Times
Both political parties should place in nom
ination for the Locislatnre their most capa
ble and honest'men—men of principle and
good, plain common sense—not loud mouth
ed demagogues or tricky wire workers who
aro sure to go heavy for public plunder but
ignore the wants of the people. We like the
bold stand taken by the Erie Dispatch and
the State Guard upon this subject. The prose
in this State and all over the country should
go in for reform in this 'particular and fight
political corruption, wherever and whenever
it is met, whether in the halls of legislation
or in party eonventione.—Pithole Record.
The Crosby Opera llouse, Chicago, has
been engaged for the 'coming Republican
National Convention, but some Republicans
are dissatisfied with the arrangement, owing
to the comparatively limited size of the Hall,
and a movement is on foot to secure the erec
tion of a mammoth Wigwam on the Dako
shore. Delegates to the Republican Nation
al Convention will be furnished with a free
pass, good over any Road, under the exist
ing arrangement, and- which will be sent
them through the chairman of their respec
tive State Central Committees, on application
by the letter to Dr. Charles V. Dyer, Chair
man of the Chicago Committee of Arrange
ments.
Our readers will recollect the account
which we publisned the other day of the ter
rible death of Mr. Ehrler, of this county,
who was crushed by a rock while mining near
Mineral Point. Ehrler had a dream the night
before the accident, amounting to a present
ment of what followed. Ho was so impress
ed in his dream with the idea that he was
being crushed with a rock, that no got out of
bed while yet asleep and called fur some ono
to remove the rock, which was crushing the
life out of him. He related this dream to
his wife on being roused from his sloop. Sho
tried to prevail on him not to go to the dig
gings that day, but ho remarked it was only
a dream, and promising to be careful, went
to his work, and his dream was realized.—
