REPUBLICANS, READ OUR POSITION,
OUR FACTS AND OUR CONCLU
SIONS.
It was universally thought, for the best
of reasons, that the difficulties which have
heretofore existed in the Republican party,
in this county, would entirely disappear
from the surface, and that the party, uni
ted as one man, would go to the polls, at
the approaching October election, and ad
minister an overwhelming defeat to our
Democratic opponents. Every sound and
earnest. 'Republican in the county was
cheered by the prospect and gave evidence
of his desire to go zealously to work ior
the good cause. Hundreds have approach
ed us and expressed themselves warmly
upon the subject, and the universal senti
ment, is, that the Republican party has been
duped into filling almost all the valuable
offices with Democrats, and that the time
has come for a different order of things,
and especially for the discontinuance of
such folly.
It has been our sole end and aim to ac
complish this. We have endeavored to
conduct the JOURNAL, for the last six
months, so that it might meet the appro
bation of every sound and sincere Repub
lican in the coftnty. We have kept aloof
from everything that might be construed
to savor of a factional character. We did
this for the sole purpose of harmonizing
the Republicans. Our purpose, our labors,
our all was enlisted and is enlisted for the
welfare of the whole party, without any
qualifications, and we challenge a success.
ful contradiction of these facts. From the
day we first assumed control of these col
umns until this moment, we have pursued
our own course, written our own editorials,
and expressed our own sentiments, without
fear, favor or affection, as the beet interests
of the Republican party required, and we
mean to do so while our name occupies a
i l
place, as editor, at the head of this journal.
And we say farther: That any gentle
man of this community, be he rich or poor,
high or low, learned or unlearned, who is
unjustly assailed, as a Republican, editing
a Republican paper, in harmony with the
great majority of the party, as we do, we
will defend him to the best of our ability.
It is our duty and our privilege to do so,
and when we forget our duty may our right
hand forget its cunning.
And beyond all this : When a United
States Senator from this town, the first and
perhaps the last one in a century, is as
sailed by Democratic stool-pigeons, we will
defend him; especially so when we believe
him to be honest and laboring for the best
interests of the party whose cause it is our
duty to uphold. And it were a strange
thing indeed, if a Republican newspaper,
published in the town where one of its
principal citizens was honored by a seat in
the Senate of the nation—an honor only
conferred upon two persons out of three mil
lions of people—and that one, too, a gentle
man whose character is above the accusation
of all honest and upright men, and whose
virtues have been the theme of every
tongue, until he, in justice to his outraged
neighbors and his party, undertook to ex
pose the wiles of those who had only wiles
and machinations to depend upon for suc
cess, were not to defend him when misre
presented and maligned by those who have
been the recipients of his bounty through
many long years, and who now, in the
baseness of their hearts, and in defiance of
the strongest fraternal cords that bind men
together, stab and defame him for a price.
Yes,' it were indeed strange if we did not
&fend him or any other misrepresented
Republican under such circumstances.
But what we now desire is to examine
closely, for a few minutes, fellow Republi
cans, the foundation of the difficulties that
are now presented to us. Let us coolly
and candidly examine, and, ifpossible, sat
isfy ourselves in regard to who is respon
sible for them. And to do this we will be
obliged to repeat what has, no doubt, been
frequently stated before.
Some years ago, how long we know not.
nor does it matter specially, the Republican
party was agitated by a report that a secret
sworn League was organized, within its
folds, which had for its sole object the el
evation of its members to the various offi
ces to be filled, and to give those, at its
head, a monopoly of such business as they
might be in. In other words, a sworn
Ring, or a kind of political Ku Klux, was
organized, with a few members in each
election district, for the purpose of eleva
ting themselves to all places of profit.—
They were sworn to act in harmony, and
to support each other, and by this means,
distributed throughout the county, they
were enabled to carry any point that they
desired to carry. A few men, thus distri
buted, can accomplish wonders. So few
people bestow any thought on political
matters, until they are approached and so
licited to act, that one man, to use a com
mon phrase, can "set up" a township. And
where two or three leading men act in:con
junction, they have no difficulty in carry
ing any point they may wish. This was
the case of the Ring or League. A man
who was not a member had no daance of
getting into office. Of curse they used
everybody who came in their way, but
nobody knew that he was used, because he
did not know who belonged to the order,
and those who did belong made it a point,
on all occasions, to . swear most lustily that
they did not. It would have been suicidal
to have pursued any other course, because
if their adherents had known that they
were only tools—the cat's-paw to rake the
chestnuts from the fire—they would have
dropped them quicker than a "hot potato,"
and consequently they were obliged to
deny the existence of such a Ring. Of
course the Ring flourished for a season—
all Rings do—and was, no doubt, much
magnified. It was a source of profit and
success to those who could not have obtain
ed success in any other way. This brought
down upon it the envy and jealousy of
some, as well as the honest and hearty con
demnation of those who would spurn this
kind of chicanery. But it is quite proba
ble that no effort would have been made to
break it up had it not endeavored to pack
the jury with its sworn adherents or their
cat's-paws. In the meantime some of its
members had "blowed", and its Constitu
tion and By-Laws had been placed in the
hands of Hon. John Scott, who, until this
indubitable evidence was placed in his
possession, was unwilling to believe that
such a sworn Ring existed. But here was
such evidence that no mortal man could
successfully contradict. It was overwhelm
ing. Under such circumstances Mr. Scott,
sworn to be true to his clients, was obliged
to sift the packing of the jury, and the
result was that the Court was satisfied with
the evidence and the jury set aside.
Fellow Republicans, is it not a terrible
thought ? Just suppose that you were mi
-1 fortunate enough to come into one of the
several Courts, and because your prosecu
tor or antagonist secured the services of a
certain gentleman for counsel before you
could, if you had desired to do so, that
there in the jury-box sat twelve men, whose
minds should be as blank paper to your
cause, sworn to stand by and to assist your
oppone:at's counsel ! Has there ever been,
in the history of civilization, a more das
tardly effort to thwart the ends of justice ?
The thought is appalling!
The people, smarting under the outrage
that was perpetrated upon them, appealed
to Mr. Scott to expose and break up the
League, and in addition to this, at a meet
ing of the Republican County Committee,
a resolution was passed authorizing the ap
pointmeat of a Committee to call upon Mr.
Scott and request him to lay any evidence
which lie might have on the subject before
the Committee. In compliance with this
request, Mr. Scott appeared before the
Committee and submitted such evidence as
had come into his possession, and he sub
sequently used his influence against it, but
the Ring, confident of the strength it had
acquired, resisted the efforts to dismember
it, and the result was that those who saw
no other way to rid the party of a parasite
of this nature, struck every man who was
supported by the Ring, and they were de
featedt'. This is the head nud front of Mr.
Scott's offending. It is not our purpose to
defend this course—it may have been the
only course left open to them to shake off
this "old man of the sea." Suffice it to
say it did, in a great measure, accomplish
the desired end. The Ring was demorali
zed, and the few, against the many honest
and upright people, were weighed in the
balance and found wanting, and at the
Convention last year it was fearfully in the
minority. The people who thus gave
it its death-blow felt that it was right
to conciliate its leaders to a certain extent,
and offered it fair terms, which were ac
cepted, and while it accepted them with
one hand, with the other it clutched the
dagger that it intended to thrust at the
heart of Hon. D. J. Morrell. This was
discovered in time, in Mifflin county, and
retaliation was determined upon by the
best men in the party in that county,
against the earnest protest, we are told, of
Mr. Scott, and D. Walker Woods, Esq.,
was defeated for Senator, and Hon. D. J.
Morrell, contrary to all expectations, was
beaten for Congress. The only excuse for
this base treachery, because in Huntingdon
county the Republicans acted in good faith,
was that Mr. Morrell was a fast friend of
Mr. Scott, and that he was defeated in re
taliation for the defeat of some of the
friends of the Ring on the ticket of the
year previously.
This is a history of the difficulties in
this county, as far as we have been able to
learn them from both parties. Now, then,
what does it exhibit in brief? Ist. That
a sworn Ring was formed in the Republi
can party to monopolize all the offices,
which went so far as to tamper with the
jury. 2ndly. That all honest and upright
men set their faces against such perfidious
conduct, and de nanded its overthrow,
through Mr. Scott, who believed it to be
a duty he owed to his outraged neighbors
and partisans, to use every honorable
means to accomplish this purpose, and,
lastly, The Ring attempted to retaliate
and realized that two could play at that
game." This is the secret of the violent
assaults upon Mr. Scott by men who, a few
months previously, could scarcely find
words sufficiently strong to speak his praise.
The course which the Ring took towards
Hon. D. J. Morrell brought them in close
relationship with Hon. R. Milton Speer,
who is at the head of it to-day, and directs
its movements, writes its editorials, and
takes advantage of it to demoralize the
Republican party. Mr. Speer has ingra
tiated himself with these soreheads, and
instructed them that the only way in which
they can accomplish anything for them
selves and the Democratic party, is for
them to pretend to act with the Republi
cans and to keep up a fight, and the Globe
is subsidized for this purpose. It makes
no difference to it who wins, so it puts
.money in its purse. Is this not evident ?
It says: “The past cannot and will not be
forgotten." W'.y keep up a constant
strife ? Is there anything to be accom
plished by it save the success of the De
mocrats? And is it not fair to argue that
this is what it wants ? It says : "There
" is no certainty of a Republican ticket
" being elected." Who makes the Repub:
lican• ticket doubtful? Why the Globe
land its handful of conspirators who are
trying to mislead the genuine Republicans,
but which they shall do no 1 inger ! We
doubt whether there are fifty Republicans in
Huntingdon county to-day who desire to
keep up strife in the party, perhaps not half
that number. Originally there were not
three hundred members of the Ring, if
we understand it, in this county, and those
who were not members only wanted to
know that they were only used to elect
those who were in, without having a ghost
of a chance of being elected themselves,
(because that was not the game,) and they
would leave it at once, while many of those
who were in were ashamed of the disrepu
table association to which they belonged
and abandoned it. This being the case,
we have no fears of the mischief that.
Messrs. Speer, Woods & Co. can do. They
might as well consolidate the Globe and
the Monitor now as after the election.
REPUBLICANS ! we have waded through
this statement for the purpose of reviving
in your memory an oft told tale, that you
may consider whether it is advisable and
judicious to keep up feuds in the Republi
can party on the strength of these facts.
Whether there is to be an eternal political
warfare for the satisfaction and benefit of
the Democrats and a handful of sore-heads.
Whether you are going to letid yourselves
to Mr. Speer to accomplish his bad purpo
ses. Whether you are going to allow the
ticket to be made on the 15th of August
to be slaughtered by wolves in sheeps'
clothing. We beg you, we entreat you,
to stand by the nominations and to reject
every proposition coming from those who
are to-day feigning to be Republicans to
accomplish the purposes of the Democratic
party. Rally ! rally I with us for the
Party, and when the smoke of battle clears
away on the second Tuesday of October,
the Democratic party and its allies will be
buried in one common grave so deep that
the sound of Gabriel's trump will not reach
them in a thousand years.
sm. There is a very clever gentleman
in this place, who runs a respectable law
office, named W. 11. Woods, Esq. This
good gentleman is a fine citizen, a solid
member of a church, and a decent lawyer.
It is true he has never been President of
the United States, or filled the distinguish
ed position of United States Senator, or
any other position calculated to immortal
ize a man or to make him universally no
torious, but he it was who organized a
Secret League for his own aggrandizement,
and some people, without the fear of poli
tical annihilation beforo their eyes, have
endeavored to ruin this magnificent-work;
and he refuses to be reconciled ! He says
he won't be reconciled—and be won't !
unless (hark !) Hon. John Scott will resign
his office of United States Senator ! ! !
Well, that is asking a little steep, but Mr.
Scott will have to do it! There appears
to be no other way !
S The Conferees of the respective
counties composing the XVlth Judicial
District, have unanimously signed a card,
without a formal meeting, declaring Hon.
Wm. M. Hall, of Bedford, the present in
cumbent, the nominee of the Republicans
of that diatriot for Prosidont Judgo. This
exhibits a unanimity upon the subject that
is highly creditable to Mr. Hall, and which
indicates his popularity throughout the dis
trict. We learn that Wm. J. Baer, Esq., of
Somerset,will, quite probably, be Mr. Hall's
competitor, in which case the fight will be
very warm, but we have no doubt Mr.
Hall will be elected by at least 800 or
1000 majority.
DM- A few years ago a lot of broken
down office seekers, we suppose, seeing no
other way of getting into fat offices, form
ed themselves into a sworn League to help
each other into places of profit. This
League consisted of only three from each
election district, so that there were only
three men in a township or district that
could ever be preferred fur any office, and
those who were not members and worked
with them were put off with promises.—
Was there ever such duplicity and bad
faith ? The men who worked in good
faith with them can now see what use was
made of them.
OW We provoked the Globe to bring
out all its heavy ordnance last week, from
Speer down to Dad with his "dogs." It
was a very irregular volley. The missiles
were of a harmless character, however, ex- -
cept those fired by the latter, which were
calculated to deluge all in his neighborhood
with an article commonly used by swallows,
and with which he appears to be more fa
miliar than anything else. That kind of
thing don't annoy us, and we don't deal in
it—nothing but solid shot dispensed at
this establishment. Take heed, gentle
men, and dodge as usual, or we will not be
responsible for the consequences.
18., It might be some satisfaction to
Mr. Speer to know whether there was not
a "pretty strong" suspicion that Mr. Cess
na helped to defeat us for District Attor
ney of Bedford county last fall, as he ap
pears to be anxious to know whether we
didn't help to defeat that gentleman for
Congress. Mr. Speer ought to have at
least as much interest in us as in Mr. Cess
na. But as Mr. Speer has his hands full in
running the Democracy, the Ring Ku
Klux, and occasionally a raid into the Re
publican ranks, it would be ungenerous,
we think, to burden him with Bedford
county politics also.
sim. An industrious little shaver, scarce
ly a dozen years old, we learn, waded
through the columns of the Globe last
week, and counted the number of times
that enterprising sheet repeated the name
of Hon. John Scott, and he says one hun
dred and sixty-five times, if we understood
him correctly. Perhaps it was only sixty
five times, but we don't think it could be
less than the former. The boy, after ta
king several quarts of sweet milk, is re
covering slowly from the effects of the
poison infused. The venom that pervades
that journal is about to destroy its own
kind.

the railroad men, and the railroad men in
turn, we are told, went for it. The recog
nition was mutual, but the Monitor suffer

-Da,„ The League Kn Klux (whit are %ft

less for obtaining offices in the Republican
party now than they were before they
swore to cheat their neighbors, arc at this
time playing into the hands of the Democrats

rewarded. Republicans, are you going
allow these loon to cheat you into aiding
the Democrats? They have succeeded
once, shall they succeed ab in;?,
Stir The Democratic party r -in casting
about for a Presidential candidate, are wo
fully in the woods. Not. that they havn't
abundance of aspirants, but they want
somebody who is available,—ope who can
ride a dozen of horses, say one thing and
mean another, and look at the four points
of the compass at the same time. For such
an one there is much in store, but we fear
it will be a fruitless search. They will
have to settle down on some one of the old
hacks.
S6Y - Hon. John Scott and the best men
of Huntingdon county, found that they
could only strike a parasite that had se
cretly fastened upon the party, by defeat
ing it at the polls, in which they were en
dorsed by all the true men of the party who
understood the evil they were trying to
eradicate. The crippled birds are the
ones who, encouraged by Democrats, are
now filling the Globe with their cries.
Wounded pigeons are always known by
their fiutterings.
,The burden of Mr. Wood's grief in
the last Globe is that Hon. John Scott has
not appointed the people who have been
maligning him and misrepresenting him to
office. What does Mr. Wood's want?
The Christian and Sanitary Commissions
have passed away ; there is nothing to do
in that line. However, he might take a
Missionary appointment to the Fejees.
He could jet eat anybody there that did
not please him. Wouldn't that be very
nice

the expense of the Orangemen, has turned
out to be an expensive affair on its hands.

upon every man having as much of the
pure air of liberty, unrestricted, as he can

their backs and go about their business.
ffiir That portion of the Democracy
which refuses to accept the "new depar
ture" are quietly told, by those who do,
that it is only a matter of policy, that they
only want to get into power, and as soon
as they do, they will repudiate the doc
trine. All remember "Polk, Dallas and
the Tariff of '42 ;" it is the same game
over again,

cussing with some friends "Dad's last."—
One of them said "it has killed him politi
cally." He good naturedly replied, "If
so, let him rest," adding, "peace to his
manes"; but not being much on his Latin,
he rather spoiled the effect by pronouncing
it thus—"peace to his mannue...l"

Speer saw that wouldn't do; coming square

A Statement by Dr. Thompson—P. M.
Lytle, Esq., Responsible for the,Doe
tor's Appointment to the Republican
State Central Committee.
SPRUCE CREEK ' July 6th, 1871.
To the Editor of the Huntingdon Journal :--I
regret to see, in the last number of the Hun
tingdon Globe, an effort made to revive the
dissensions in the Republican party of this
county, which I had hoped were about healed,
and in order to do this the writer has- made
some gross misrepresentations. As I am as
sailed in the article, I beg leave to review it,
and give the facts in the case.
To - go back with Mr. Lewis to the meeting
of the County Committer, at which the Con
ferees were elected and instructed for the Sen
atorial and Representative Delegates: The
issue which be says was made there between
Mr. Fisher and Mr. Lytle is ..not: correct, at
least so far as the so-called "Scott faction"
knew. If it had been, it is very certain that
Mr. Lytle would not have received my vote,
and that of many others. This acknowledg
ment on the part of the Globe is conclusive evi
dence which faction is anxious to keep up the
strife. In regard to the conversation of Sena
tor Scott with Mr. Lytle subsequent to this
meeting, there is no man of common sense who
will believe this statement, although I don't
doubt but that Mr, •Lewis was so informed, and
if his authority is the same person whom I be
lieve him to be, I think that before I am
through with this article I will convince Mr.
Lewis that he has been most shamefully de•
ceived and imposed upon. In regard to the
right of the Senatorial and Representative
Delegates naming the members of the State
Central Committee from their respective WWl
ties, no one will deny. This right has always
been conceded to the Representative Delegate,
as it was at the last State Convention, except
that this time the substitute for our Senatorial
delegate assumed an active part in this duty,
and the name of Dr. Brown was agreed upon.
After Dr. Brown's name was submitted to the
Chairman of the State Convention, the Chair
man was instructed by our Representative del
egate to withhold the name a few days. With
in three days after the adjournment of the
Convention our Representative delegate went
to Harrisburg for the express purpose of having
my name placed upon the Committee, and it
was accordingly done. Prior to this I was not
aware whd was to bo the meinber, norwas I
thinking about it, entilMr. 4ytle gave me this
information, as well as a his.ory of the whole•'
proceedings, with instructions not to say any
thing about it, as Mr. Woods thought that
Dr. Brown was on the Committee.
After Dr. Brown's death, Mr. Woods (sub
sthute for our Senatorial delegate) went to
Mr. Lytle and suggested the name of Mr. Lewis
in plaice of Dr, Brown. Mr. Lytle immediately
wrote a letter to the Chairman of the State
Luu. cutlers Li.....sumcndlug Dia. yew/30mM'
Mr. Woods endorsed. This letter was shown
to me„by the writer of it, a few days after
wards, and also at Altoona on the day of the
meeting of the State Central Committee, at
which time others also saw it, and to-clay it
is still in the pocket of its author. I do not
wonder at Mr. Lewis being astonished in uot
finding his name on the list when the Com
mittee met at Altoona, but when the facts are
known the mystery is easily solved, as his
name is yet in the pocket of his would-be re
commender. This fact accounts for the an
swer received by Mr. Woods when he authori
tatively accosted the Chairman, demanding on
what authority my name was placed on the
list. This conversation was repeated to me
afterwards, by the Chairman, and it does not
correspond with the statement in the Globe.
The special committee appointed to investi
gate in what manner my name was placed upon
the Committee—as Mr. Lewis had handed in
a protest signed alone by Mr. Woods (substi
tute for our Senatorial delegate) and not by
our Representative delegate as the Globe would
have us believe—asked for the protest of the
Representative delegate, bat this was not forth
coming, Mr, Lytle, seeing the dilemma in
which he was placed, requested a private
hearing with the Committee. This was grant
ed, and when asked who he would recommend
as the member of the Committee his reply was.
Dr. Thompson. This is Mr. Lytle's statement,
verbatim, to myself as well as to others. The
Committee, seeing that Mr. Lewis had been
deceived, in order to let him down easy, re
commended that his name be also placed on
the Committee, so that he is not so much the
representative of the people as he is of Mr.
oods, and from what I know of his popular
ity, I don't think that I would be more than a
hundred thousand votes behind him if it was
submitted to a vote of the people.
SIDAY'THOMPSON.
[The above statement of Dr. Thompson
was handed to us for publication about the
Bth or 9th of July, after the reply to the
Globe, published by us on the 12th, was
written and in type. We then suggested
that the managers of the Globe would dis
cover that they had been victimized, and
that, in all probability, as gentlemen, they
would correct their position of the week
previously, and, under such circumstances,
there would be no necessity for this state
ment. But the last Globe, in the face of
all the facts, unquestionably known to it,
persists in charging Mr. Scott with the
appointment of Dr. Thompson, and this
being the case, there is, therefore, no rea
son why this communication should be
longer withheld. It is as evident as the
noonday sun that this matter was made a
mere pretext to raise difficulties in the
Republican party, or a more honorable and
more dignified course would have been
pursued.]
Letter from Richmond.
RICHMOND, VA:, July 21, 1871
Editor Journal :—The remarkable change
from the balmy air of Spring to the• intense
heat of mid-summer has hastened the depar
ture of Northern people from the city, until
comparatively few remain while many of the
natives are in search of cool retreats among
the mountains of West Vtrginia, or in some
favored Northern clime. As you walk the
streets of the city, which you dare not do
without an umbrella, you hear the cry from
every corner, hot I hot I I But this is not sur
prising when you find the Thermometer in
mid-day at 116° (in the shade), and at mid
night still above a hundred. Yet in the
midst of such intense heat, the health of the
city in tolerably good and not more deaths oc
cur than time ordinarily produces.
The 4th was celebrated here with as much
pomp and display as the Chivalry could com
mand. It seemed a sort of reunion of the
scattered fragments of the "Confederacy."
New Orleans sent a delegation of three hun
dred, and other cities, less remote, were rep
resented. Fraternity, after . fraternity, ad in
finitum, appeared in glowing colors, eclipsed
only by the grand military parade, In strange
contrast with the one which was gotten up
rather hastily on the 3d of April 1865 ; and to
join which Jeff. Davis got a pressing invita
tion before he had done saying his prayers,
In the midst of the surging crowd of epee,-
'Wort arftelkedothe belles Of Franklin Weft,
in all the gdrgeousness of dress and fashion.
And, kthousand - eyes and hearts are at once
set upon these gakspecimens of human folly.
.Thia, we learn, the first grand celebration,
in Richmond, of ix 4th of July, for many
years. It seems that these people had forgot
ten that great-eveo which declared that "All
metfere created free and equal." Although
nearlya hundred ctrs hrve passed sincl. thiE4
deelgration, hearing away the fragmezils oft
fall& empires and ruined despotisms, yet it;
would item that an other century will be - re=
quired to teach the people of the South the
great principle contained in that declaration.
Your correspondent having s.en the "ele
phant" we withdrew and joined an excursion
party to West Point. Our trip was over the
battle field of "Seven Pines" and through the
ill-famed "Chicahominy Swamps" and past the
"White - Howse" on the Pamunkey where Gen.
11cOlellan had his base of supplies during the
Peninsula campaign. This wilderness and
'tens of thonsaUds of better land in the State
are now offered for sale at the rate of'fifty
cents, to five dollars, per acre. Across• the
Pamunkeyote are in an Indian settlement!
where the land is of a good quality and in a
fair state of cultivation. These farmers use as
fertilizer the black pea whose vine resembles
that of the sweet potato and grows about as
tall as red clover. When matured it is plow
ed down like a Pennsylvania farmer manage a
clover crop.
But what of West Point? It is the terminus
of the Richinond and York River Railroad, and
is in daily communication with first-class
steamers for Baltimore and New York. It is
noted also as a famous watering place and
summer resort: Among its sources of enjoy
ment are bathing, fishing and boating. Its
salt water baths are a great luxury and are
much sought after. Lying between the Mat
taponi and•Pamunkey which there unite their
waters to form the York river, it is favored
with a most refreshing breeze even in the hot
est days of summer.
The - great event of Richmond during this
season was the trial in the Hastings Court,
last week of Mr. Cahoon.
This is one of those cases of political perse
cution, so frequently occurring in the South.
Cahoon was the loyal candidate for Mayor of
the city, and, as all agree, would have been
elected. But, to get him out of the way, he
was arrested on the charge of a felony and
lodged in jail- In their determination to send
him to the penitentiary, they have tried him
three times. At the second trial nine of the
jury voted for acquittal. and the remaingtbree
afterward declared they were compelled to go
for conviction, or forfeit their employment.
All effort failing to get a jury in Richmond
base enough to convict this man on mercenary,
and futile testimony, the Sheriff was sent to
Fredericksburg to pack jurymen, which he did
effectually; announcing at the onset that he
wanted months time who could be relied wt,
for this case most be ended. The jury tild
their work well and "ended the case" by send
ing the prisoner to the penitentiary for two
It is no ozaggeration of the state of affairs
to say that loyal men have no protection for
life or property in the State of Virgi• :a.
True, these people do not, as in some other
places of the South, drag loyal people from
their homes in dead: hour of ntght and subject
them to torture and death; but a hat is worse,
on plea of being "law abiding," the Courts
can be transformed into a "Ku Klux," from
whose wrath there is no escape.
We have read, with no little astonishment,
the reports of Northern people who have swept
over the South, spending a day or two In
chief cities ; halting at some Nmous watering
prince; 4otally ignorow loyal people; associa
ting with, and getting their information from
cebels only; and then have returned to bur
den the press with eulogies on the good order
and "law abiding" proclivities of the Southern
people. One would think that such a pre
tended philosopher as Horace Greely might
discover the necessity of living among these
people in order to understand them. And if
he comes to take up his abode in. Virginia, as
rumor has it, he will discover ore long that
"Carpet-baggers and Scalawags," are, after
all, the tree exponents of Southern character
and conduct. And if some of our Democratic
friends at the North resided here, they would
doubtless soon find their better judpient re
straining their anathemas against Congress
for providing some means of' protection for
loyal people against the outrages of a people
as rebellious as when the South seceded, and
who hope through strategy and deception to
gain power, to recover "the lost cause."
OCCASIONAL.
Poor Dirg43tor—No.
Editor Journalt-1 see that a correspondent
of the Shirleysburg Herold, alittle Bxlo sheet,
owned and published semi-occasionally, by
this man Fraker, who, as I said in my former
article, was one of the locofocos who ran Mr.
Logan and the Poor House, undertakes to cri
ticise my former vac's qn the treachery of
this man Logan, charging me with crimes that
they themselves are not free from, such as vis
iting Niagara Falls on wedding tours, he. Pow
this is all bosh, intended to draw public atten
tion from the issues in question.
If I know myself I have never taken a wed-
ding tour, never visited Niagara Falls, never
sold frog ponds to the Directors of the popr,
without a shadow of law, thereby pocketing
twelve or fifteen hundred dollars of the tax
payers money. Will this apologist of Mr. Lo
gan tell the tax-payers why Mr. Logan would
not let Mr. Heffner's pork bill of last fall go
into last year's account? Was it because he
paid him two cents per pound more than mar
ket price ? Will he also tell us why Levi My
ers could not do the carpenter work of the
corn crib and wagon shed when he offered to
do it for $7O and board himself? and why Mr.
Piper got $235 for it and boarded by the coun
ty? Will this correspondent, who charges me
with receiving money front Mr, Morrell, (which
is utterly false) tall us how much Mr. Logan
and his sixteen paupers got from Mr. Speer ?
I also see that the editor of this same sheet
promises to enlighten us in his next issue why
Mr. Logan purchases the most of his supplies
from him. This,
to us in the vicinity of Shir
leysburg, would be labor lost, for every child
here knows that a merchant who pays fifty
cents on the dollar can undersell, for a little
while at least, others who pay in full. Be
sides, do not the editor and Mr. Logan meet
around the same altar? Do not they unite
their voices in singing that beautiful hymn
commencing . .
"I love to steal," &c.,
whilst their pastor's horse is kicking at the
flies in the broad pasture fields on the Poor
House Farm. A TAXPAYER.
