A RENINMENCE.—The ono hundred
and twenty-fifth anniversary of Ste
phen Girard's birthday was observed
at the Colleee . which bears his name,on
the 21st inst. These anniversaries are
increasing in interest, we aro pleased
to learn, every year, as the number
of graduates from that noble institu
becomes larger. From it there
have gone many young men, who
have been tutorod and fostered by its
beneficent regulations, and now in
every section of the Union, probably,
there is a representative College boy.
Many of thorn have figured conspicu
ously in political affairs,while the moat
of them have exemplified the teach
ings of the institution in becoming
good citizeria; and haVe received their
reward in popular esteem. No cause
has yet been discovered to reflect
against the wisdom of the founder
in establishing for the good of young
men, apd,thereby for the good,of,the
nation, the Girard .College; nor can
there be, , The mystery to us , is that
while the class for which the College
is expressly deSigned' is rapidly in
creasing, but - few if• any philanthro
pists have erected in-other cities of
our land, an 'institution with simi
lar objects. The peed of eneh.institit 7
tions.is greatly ,felt, as the present
College can not accommodate all that
seek for admission ; and it is to be
hoped-that the day is not' distant
when c'apitaliits will look to the wel
fare of the rising generation of or
phans, and provide more institutions
for their moral and intellectual train

Tho Congressional Question.
At the request of lion. A. A. Bark
er, we publish his reply to an editorial
article in the Johnstown Tribune, re
fused publication in that paper. As
the nomination for Congress is not yet
made, wo think it perfectly proper
that Mr. Barker should bo heard :
Enexsnuno,' MAY 24th, 1870.
To Me Eclilors of Me ifunlingdon Globe:
I desire, through the columns of your pa
per, to make a reply to certain- unfounded al
legations contained in an editorial ai tide in
the Johnstown ifibiine of the 13th inst., in
reference to the recent Congressional contest
in this twenty, The editor has seen proper
to assert that the opposition to Mr. Morrell;
in most of the northern districts of thecoun
ty grew out of the hostility-to the move
ment made last winter for the increase of jd
client' facilities at Johnstown, Mr. Morrell
being a ebeident of Johnstown; and occupy
ing no doubtful attitude toward the measure,
and that this irideissee had the effect of -giv
ing to Mr; Barker more than half of his dele
gates. I pronounce this statement to be ut
terly 'destitute Of truth. It is Well known
'filet I was hostile to the bill increasing the
jurisdiction of the' District Cburt, as well us
the subsequent effort to remove the county
seat-to Johnstown, of both which measures
Mr. Morrell informed me inVashington dur
ing the session of the Legislature, be was the
firm and steadfast friend, and that if both
propositions failed lie would exert all his in
fluence in favor of a Southern Legislative
ticket'on the distinct issue of the removal
question. But that either I, •or my- friends
attempted to make any of these questions an
issue in the northern portion of the county at
the late delegate election is a sheer and naked
fabrication, and is unsupported by the facts.
The removal question, therefore,neither gave
me a delegate in the northern portion of the
county, nor did-it of itself take a single dela
gate.away from me. So far as' my friends
were-concerned everywhere in the county the
contest was fought on the ground that 1 had
'not received the common usages of the party
having been treachcrouily dealt with by the
Republicans of Southern Cambria four years
ago, and - acting on the positive pledge made
me more than , a year ago, that my just
claims should, be recognized] by the very
same .wire pullers and instruments of Mr.
Mcrrell,-who are now ,attempting to force
him on the district the third time as aeandi
date. - The question was,,and it wen 'well un
derstood; shall that pledge be redeemed in
good faith or shall it be fraudulently, corrupt
ly and basely'vielated ? On that issue, stand
ing on its own Merits ,and -uninfluenced by
moneyed, or other corrupt considerations, .1
affirm what I know to be the truth,. when. I
say that oUtside ofithe election t ‘ districte em- -
braced within the juriedietien of the Distriet
Cotirt,Mr. - Morrell could iietliave bleared' a
a single delegate, and that he' would have
been in a'minority in the 'convention. ' WM.
is it true, as the 25 . ibune asserts, that - it" wits
threateningly announced that he (Morrell,)'
should not oreesive the endorsement of hie
cOunty:l3S,cause of his, identification with tbe
local interestsefJohnstown. No such threat
was ever thought of or made bY me, nor wad
it ever authorized to be made' by, any- men.
who supported me.- It is purely an talk
thought and-is intended to bolster up Me. '
MorrelLand his friends in what- they . .know
endfliel to have ,beerr-,a base violatioiy! of,
plighted faith. ; .11Jthopgh - it is true,, u, th,e -
Tiibuse declares, thit Mr . Morrell took no
part personally_ in the contest, the old maie,
netlerTheless remains in - frill 'fora° that
"whatevern man'does through an agent' is
held to be his own act." Mr.Morrell's emis
saries, 'emploYeetrof the Cambria Iron Com,
pony secured - the entire, northern section of
the county &fere days before, the delegate
election, andnever, in the history of Cambria
county polities, was there displayed such
shameful and unblushing corruption. Money
was freely used, in seducing men- who were
publicly pledged as. my friends, and when
that failed in :accomplishing its iniquitous
purpose, the promise of Assistant Marshal
ships fur taking The,cansua .was substituted
in'place of greenbacks, and in " more than
one instance prbdueed the' desired effect:—
Here is a specimen case. 'One of Morrell's
agents, and the most unscrupulous of the
whole,paek in the Prostitution'of men!s;pulit=
ical.consciences, had an interview with.one
of my warmest friends, the result of which is
given in the following extract from a -letter
which I received from him dated May 4th,
three days before the' delegate election': "1
have had several 'offer's made tome singe I !esti
saw you. I declined them. Finally "I 'was:
offered a Marshalshipaf a ,'sub-district ; if
would support Mr,,Morrell.„ I have conclu-,
(led to accept it',"ln another ,letter of the *nisi

THE FENIAN INVASION.
Two Fights anil One Big Rout
ST. ALBANS, - May 26, 1870
The first action :in the Fenian
invasion occurred yesterday. The
raiders, under the command of Gener
al O'Neill, crossed the frontier oppo
site Franklin, Vt , and had a skirmish'
with a body of of Canadian troops;
several of the invaders being killed
and wounded. During the fight
Gr,oneral was-arrested by Uni
ted States Marbhal Foster. and taken,
back to St. he! Was 'ar
raigned before the United States Com
missioner for, violation of the neutrali
,ty jaws, and sent to Burlington, to be
committed_in default of 624,000_ bail.
The arrest of O'Neill is
_confirmed by
official diapitchia received at head
quarters of the Military Division of
the Atlantic in' this city last night.—
Fenian bands were reported at other
points, but there is no news of their
crossing. The Catiadian authorities
are rapidly sending troops•forward to
defend the border. Detachments of
the United States troops are also ar
riving on the American side.
