P. up! LET THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PONDER. KU-KLUX DIABOLISM. Eleven Pregnant Facts Brought to Light by the Congressional In vestigation Committee. Its Democratic Paternity, its Hellish Features and Party Purposes. The Congressional committee investiga ting the Ku-Klux villainy—a sub-commit tee in Washington, and another sub-com mittee in South Carolina—have now been in daily session more than two months, and have had before them many scores of wit nesses from all sections of the late Insur rectionary States—men of both high and humble station—President Elders, Preach ers, ex-Members of the Federal congress and ex-Members of the Confederate Con gress, ex-Generals of both Armies, Govern ors and ex-Governors, Judges, Solicitors, Sheriffs, Revenue Officers, Officers of the Army, Postmasters, School Teachers, Re pentant and Non-repentant members of Ku-Klux Klaus, and dozens of their maimed and suffering victims, black and white. And what has this patient and thorough investigation established—and established beyond all future ca il and question? These atrocious Facts ? 1. That in all the late Insurrectionary States, and generally diffused, though not found in every County, is an oath-bound Secret Organization, working only at night, and its members always in disguise, with Officers, Signs, Signals, Pass-words, Grips, and all the necessary paraphernalia, with the Pledged and Sworn purpose of putting dawn the Republican and putting asp the Democratic_ Party; known in 'different localities among the initiated by different names, but everywhere recognized by the general cognomen "Ku-Klux." 2. That the organization came intA, be ing a few months previous to the last Presidential El !ction, during which can vass it was in its most vigorous condition, but is now through all the South, with more efficient discipline and effective di rection than ever, reviving, in preparation for the next Presidential campaign, when, as the told one of their victims in Ten nessee a few weekt, since, "no d-d Rad ical voting is to be allowed in any Southern States, by black or white." 3. That this Ku-Klux organization is the premeditated and determined scheme for carrying the South at the next election of President, and so, by securing the en tire electoral vote of that section, make sure the election of the Democratic nomi- 4. That the officers and establishers of these "Pens" (as they appropriately call their separate bands) are the leading and active Democratic politicians of the South. 5. That the scheme has the hearty good will of a large section of the Democratic Party in all those States, and the acquies cence of nearly the entire Party. 6. That the direct and chief purpose of the organization, as sworn by all the Vic tims, as the assertion uniformly made to them by these midnight assassins, and cor roborated by the universal testimony of the repentant and divulging members of the Order, is this : The putting down of the Republican and the putting up of the Democratic Party. Eurron 7. That while the Democratic and Ku- Klux Witnesses on their direct examina tion usually deny the political purpose of the Order, asserting that the Kb-Klux are a social necessity growing out of the aboli tion of the old Petrel; that they have to ride the country to "keep the Niggers in their places;" "that under the influence of Radical Legislation and Methodist Preach ing./ the Niggers are liable to become saucy;' and without an occasional Ku-Klux visit would "begin to think themselves as good as white folks ;" and that these frequent floggings, and an occasional murder, are necessary to maintain such a state of mor als among the Blacks as will permit the vice-hating Whites to live in their neigh borhood ; yet, on the cross-examination, these Witnesses all very generally, as well as very reluctantly, confess that the intim idation of Republican voters is a prominent and not to ba regretted result. 8. That to secure this purpose, the put ting down of the Republican and the put ting up of the Democratic Party, Intimida tion is the grand measure—the intimida tion of Republican voters, black and white, but especially the humble and defenceless, by Midnight Raids; by Burning Houses and Stores, and the Destruction of Crops; by Whippings of such extreme cruelty as often to end in Death; by most indecent and painful Maiming; by Assassination and Murder in such cowardly manner and with such hellish device as may strike ter ror into whole counties, and bring down the Republican- vote from two or three thou Sand to less than a single dozen. _ 9. That "School-teachers," and 'Preach ers of the Methodist Church North," seem to be the especial abhorrence of these Democratic Assassins; and hundreds of School-houses and Methodist Churches have been given to the flames; and Chris tendom will stancraghast when it is made known the scores of School-teachers and Methodist Preachers, who, by this Demo cratic agency, within these three years, have been Whipped ! Shot!' Hung I and, in some instances, it is believed, Burned at the Stake ! 10. That in nearly one-half the States of this Union this work of hell is now going on, night by night—every month extending the range of its bloody opera tions, and fearfully multiplying the num ber of its victims ! 11. That it is solely and immediately in the service of the Democratic Party—a large portion of the party South heartily approving—large numbers of the party North attempting its palliation by excuse, and its shelter from scorn by covering up or denying its crimes, as if cowardly As sassination could be palliated, and brutal e 1 NUILIPT ex enstn&—nrui tho Tin.mner.t;, Party throughout the land rejoicing in its promise of help. So, either by open and acknowledged action, or by the no les s criminal and the more cowardly participa tion of extenuatingand shielding the crime, the Party, South and North, become be fore the people and before God equal sharers in the responsibility. Out of the mouths of more than two hundred Witnesses is every syllable of this established; and more than ten thousand of the shroudless Dead, from hidden places by wayside, in swamp and mountain, and from the sleepless ashes of fired houses, shout their ghastly AMEN ! A single instance of these thousand Outrages perpetrated upon an American citizens on foreign soil, would be thought ample cause for War ; and our entire Navy would hasten to enforce the Nation's in dignation. And• such abuse as is daily meted out to these humble Methodist Preachers, if offered one of our Missiona ries on heathen ground, would arouse the whole American church until every mind was laden with demands for "Protection." The thanks of all citizens who love Right and hate Repine are due the faith ful men of this Committee, who, forgetting their own ease, have so industriously de voted these hot months to the unearthing of this giant Villainy. Christian men of our country ! Humane men ! All decent men, we appeal to you! Is a party worthy of life in this land which seeks supremacy through such hell-born measures ? pa c . The Louisville Courier is credited with saying that one or two New England ladies, who went South to teach the negr, o children, were ostracised for no other of fence than that of bathing in the river with a number of colored gentlemen. This is one of the Democratic ways of apologi zing for the Ku Klux. All that we have to say is: the editor who takes the advan tage of a female, when he knows she is unable to chastise him for his conduct, to perpetrate such a slander, is as much of a coward as one of those midnight assassins" The man who slanders a man slanders his equal, but the man who slanders a woman is a coward. um _ People frequently wonder how it is that men who control railroads, at only fair salaries, make princely fortunes. Our attention has been directed to this matter, for the last three months, and facts have been placed in our possession, which, with out explanation, show an organized system of tariffing, (to use a mild phrase,) of ship pers, for the benefit of those who control the operations of the Pennsylvania Rail road, that will startle some people who do business with that giant corporation. We intend to pursue our investigations until we are fully satisfied that we are not doing any one injustice, and when we have done this, "we will publish right or wrong." Is_ Confidential communications are universally regarded as sacred among gen tlemen. It were strange if it Wore other wise, and yet it seems there are those who do not know this, or who take every op portunity to violate the rule. Sii?" A Democratic cotemporary, more frank than discreet, says: The party never did, and does not now endorse the doctrine of negro equality or negro suffrage; but holds to its oft-repeat ed declaration, that this is a white man's government, and that none but white men should vote or hold office. The ninth re solution of the State platform simply re cognizes as valid and binding, the amend ments to the constitution, including the obnoxious XVth article." Well, we hope they will stick to this position. All the negro votes that they will catch, if this is their thecry, will not pay for the paper upon which the ninth resolution is written. Ale- We are told that Gen. Lane is charged with being the author of the com munications which have appeared in the JOURNAL, over the signatufe of "A Tax payer," ventilating Poor House affairs.— We are free to say that Gen. Lane, to the best of our knowledge, has never written a single line fur the JOURNAL, and we know he did not write the communications in question. We say this in justice to the General. We are not a recipient of the Herald and, therefore, only casually learn ed that the General has been wronged by a charge of this kind. isE r r We have stated clearly and impli citly, we think, our own, as well as the position of others, in these columns, in the last three weeks, and in addition to this we have n.ade an unbiased statement of the facts pertaining to the case in question, and no successful contradiction has been forthcoming, therefore, we have done. No amount of personal abuse or misrepresenta tion will induce us to depart from this resolution. Personal detraction is very much like a boomerang; it is just as likely to strike the detractor as the person as sailed. gel. Hon. John Scott, who has been in South Carolina for the last month, taking testimony in regard to the horrible practi ces of the Ku Klux, arrived at home on Monday evening the 31st ult. He bears the marks of hard labor. The Committee adjourned to meet on the 20th of Septem ber. We hope Mr. Scott will give us the advantage of his investigations in the ap proaching campaign. He is prepared, no doubt, to satisfy our Democratic brethren that there is such an organization in exis tence as the Ku Klux. SEX - The Democrats claim that they have found a leak in the Treasury, and the way they hold on to it is a caution. They evi dently think it a good thing. Stick to it, and get all out of it that you can ; it may be possible that you may not have another such a chance in an age. The Democrats like leaks; they pick up the little drop pings—the waste, and they all hold their hats. Ser Again we would urge upon the Republicans of this county to attend the delegate elections on Saturday next, and see that none but true and honest men, who cannot be controlled by Mr. Speer or his allies, be selected as delegates. Let the best men in the county be sent here next Tuesday to make a ticket for our sup port this fall. Turn out ! Turn out and Da- We direct attention to the call for a Mass Meeting to be held on Tuesday evening, the 14th inst., for the purpose of ratifying the nominati Ais and opening the campaign. Hon. John Scott will present, no doubt, his experience among the Ku Klux and many of the sworn facts which are in his possession. The late trains will stop at all way stations. A large attend ance is expected. Se — We would call attention to the fact that a change has been made in the place for holding the election for delegates to the County Convention to be held on the 12th inst., in Shade Gap and Mount Union boroughs. The election will be held at McGowan's hotel in the former, and at the borough school house in the latter. lam. Another "Sockdoleager !" The public debt statement for July shows that nearly $9,000,000 have been paid. How do you like it, apologists for the Ku Klux? European Correspondence LONDON, England, July 22, 1871 Data JOITIIIIAL :-I left the city of Glasgow on the 14th inst. At this place our company was cut down to two of us, The Rev. Mr. J, W. Evans left us for Wales. The Rev. Dr. Bell and myself will continue our European journey together. From Glasgow to the city of Edinburg, forty-nine miles, the country is rolling and is considerable of a mineral district. We arrived in Edinburg in the forenoon and put up at the Caledonian hotel. Edinburg is the capital of Scotland. It is situated on two ridges of hills, within two miles of the Firth of Forth and contains 200,000 inhabitants. It is said Kainburg, for its size, is one of the most imposing, interesting and magnificent cities in Europe. Through its centre a deep ravine extends. But this ravine has been converted into beautiful gardens, and is crossed by two spacious bridges at different points. On the summit of a tremendous precipice, in the cen tre of the city, some four hundred feet high and nearly round, with commanding view, stands Edinburg Castle, whose origin is clou ded in obscurity. It is one of those fortresses which, by the articles of union between Eng land and Scotland, must be kept fortified.— Here are crown jewels, widen are kept guarded in an old apartment of this castle. This castle is teeming with romance and history. The room is shown here where that unfortunate Queen first became a mother, and a window where her son, afterwards James VI, when only eight days old, was let down in a basket several hundred feet to be conveyed to a place of safety. In this castle a cannon is fired off every day at 1 o'clock, by electric telegraph, in order to keep the correct time with Green wich. The principal street is Princes street. Here most of the hotels are located, and also the stupendous monument of Sir Walter Scott. It is 200 feet high and has 287 steps leading to the top of the gallery. The National Pic ture Gallery is of the Greek order, and is filled with ancient paintings. There are several large equestrian statues of the Duke of Wel lington, Nelson, and Burns, and the National Monument erected to the memory of the he roes of Waterloo. There are several large cathedrals and church edifices. In the centre of Parliament Square stands tip equestrian statue Of Charles 11. - Another important me , morial of Scotland's ancient splendor is the remains of Holyrood. It must have been a magnificent building in former days. The most interesting rooms in the palace are those last occupied by the unfortunate Mary. Her bed chamber remains in the same state as when she left it, and the cabinet, where her secreta ry, Rizzie, was murdered. In the picture gal lery are over one hundred portraits of Scot lead's kings, queens and lords. The Abbey of Holyrood was founded by King David. 1, in the twelfth century. The King's Palace, which is attached to Holyrood Abbey, was built in the fifteenth century by King James V, and it is a magnificent structure. Queen Victoria pays a visit once a year, and spends a few weeks, to please the people of Scotland. l also visited the Queen's Park and Margaret's Well, and drank some of its refreshing Water. Deans Cemetery is the finest, most beautiful and well laid out cemetery that I ever visited, I saw the house in which John Knox resided. The morning of the 15th, when I awoke and gazed out of three-story window of the hotel, and saw that wonderful Castle, towering up towards heaven, which is right opposite to me and within one quarter of a mile, with her high guns pointing in every direction, I felt, while here, perfectly safe front all surrounding ene mies. Scotland is _a healthy country. Here you see no pale, consumptive-looking faces, but all looking fresh, hale and robust. It would be a good inv&tment for some of our young single American gentlemen to come here and select a companion from some of theso cheerful, bright looking bonnie lassies. The most novel costume I have seen in my travels is here worn by some of these Highlanders.— You will see now and then men in the streets of the city wearing a tight body made of white pressed flannel, a short blue or red over skirt from the waist down to the lower part of the thighs ; their legs from there down below the knees to the calf entirely bare, with long Stockings buckled up, wearing shoes, and black cap with broad scarlet band. There is a peculiar feature in the buildings in Glasgow and Edinburg, in contrast from other cities I hove ever seen. Here - the build ings ere built all with fine granite stone, the fronts of the buildings are dressed with smooth face, and you see no building- less than three story, and some hove ten, so that the rich and poor are alike as respects houses, only that the poor are crowded with more or less families in each building, end occupy those streets that: are narrow and bock from the business and more fashionable thoroughfares. The pave ments arc all laid within., large granite stone, and wide ; streets are paved with square blocks of stone. Oumibusses and cabs are the vehi cles for travelling; the fare in omnibusses is 2 pence the entire length of the streets, and in cabs four shillings per hour. On July 15111 - 1 left the city of Edinburg in the lamming for York, in England, distance 207 miles by rail. Passed several large towns be fore we reached New Castle, in the northern part of England. The country is mostly level and finely improved, but the farms much lar ger than I expected, and not as thickly settled as in Dauphin and Lancaster counties in your State. The chief products are oats, barley, potatoes, turnips, beaus and some little wheat. No corn fields seen since we lauded. We passed through fine grazing settlements, and number less flocks of sheep are raised and fed far the market of the finest and largest growth. New Castle, on the river Tyne, has a popu lation of over 200,000. It is situated near the mouth of T.. se where it empties into the North or German sea, and is the great depot city for the large coal district—the most extensive in Europe. From there we passed through the city of Darlington—a large iron manufacturing city. We reached York in the afternoon and took lodgings at the Black Swan hotel, in Co ney street. This street is the most fashionable in the city. We spent an hour or two strolling through some of the streets, and then turned in for the night. Here my friend Dr. Bell con cluded to have his hair cut and dressed pre paratory to the Sabbath. Be stepped into a barber-shop, when he, for the first time, had his hair combed and cleansed by a machine, a rather new and novel instrument, all for six pence, and if there had been any vermin there they would have been scattered instanter. Sabbath morning, July 16th, we attended Baptist Sabbath School at 0 A. a, and Baptist preaching at 101 o'clock. In the absence of their pastor, the Rev. Mr. Smythe, the Rev. Mr. Henderson, of the Wesleyan church sup plied his pulpit. His text was the Ist chapter and 21st verse of Phillipians. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock we attended Episcopal services-- coral singing and prayer. In the evening, at 6i o'clock, Rev. Dr. Bell preached in the Bap tist church front Isaiah 286 chap. 16 and 17 verses. At 8} o'clock I heard a Wesleyan preach in the Park on the river side, from the words: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and. thou shalt be saved." The city of York contains a population of DO,OOO, and is situated in the centre of a beau tiful plain, on the river Ouse, .which is navi gable to its entrance into the German Sea; the city lies on both sides of the river, and is crossed by two fine bridges. This is a very ancient city. The hotel we stopped at has been built over 400 years since. The streets are narrow, only admitting two carriages to pass; the pavements are only about five feet in width; both streets and pavements are sub stantially paved with stone. If two persons walking together meet a couple, either one or the other um,t step down on the street while the others pass, but they always give Ameri cans the preference. This city is only second in rank in the Kingdom. York hat always held a conspicuous place in all the disturbances of the country, particularly in the war of the "Roses." It is said it dates back nearly 1000 years before Christ. During the time of the Romans A. D. 150, it was captured by Britain. , teal u~ ueea 0 1250 by Edward I.— The walls now form a fine promenade around the city. Constantine the Great, the first christian Emperor, was born here in 272, and his father Constantine died here in 305. The Cathedral was founded by Edwin, King of Northumberland, A. D. 625, and is the second largest in the Kingdom, its length is 524 feet, breadth 240, transepts 222, nave 264, height of ceiling 99, and western, towers 204. York Castle is an object of general interest. It is enclosed with a substautial stone wall, laid in cement,• well finished, and is 35 feet high and 1100 yards in circuit, and cost £203,530, com prising cliffs, towers and prison, covering four acres of ground. The Museum Gardens, St. Leonard's Hospital, St. Mary's Abbey, Sir Wil liam's College, and the City Walls overlook ing the railroad depots are of great interest.— We took a promenade of over half a mile on the city walls before leaving the city. We took the train for London this day at 11 o'clock; distance 200 miles; passed through a magnificent country, part of it very level, not unlike the Western prairies, and part rolling. Went through some dozen tunnels, some of them over a mile in length. Passed through the cities of Doncaster, Retford, Newark, l'e tersbury and Grantham. The latter place is not-d for the manufacture of grain harvesters. This North-eastern railroad makes better time than our Pennsylvania Central, averaging 35 miles per hour, including stopages at every large town. We reached London, the capital of Great Britain, the metropolis of the civilized world, at half-past 5 r. M., and put up.at the Shirley House, on Queen's Square. Our programme from this city will be a tour in Belgium, the Rhine district, Switzerland and France, and return via. London, Walef, and Ireland.' You shall hear from me from one of those points next week. So far we have enjoyed good health and arc in good spirits. You;s, 1:c Mississippi Correspondence JACKSON, Miss, July 28, 1871. MR. EDITOR :—To a person reared in the busy North, where energy of cheracter, good will and progress is apparently the legacy and birthright of every child, stimulating it in youth to the acquisition of knowledge, and as it attains maturity, to the many useful objects, the pursuit of which ourglorious Constitution and broad free country accord the most un trammelled and encouraging liberty; to a per- son reared amid such influences and associa tions, a sudden transition to many portions of the South would create in him the belief that he had been waftcdby the hand of some friend ly (or rather unfriendly) genii into a country and among a people distinct Irons his own in a geographical, political and social sense.— Doubtless the first thing which would attract his attention would be the peculiarity of the population, consisting, as it does, of all shades and colors, front the thick-lipped Ethiopian to the beautiful, graceful, sprightly Octoroon,— The predominating color, however, among the black race and its several different grades, is the genuine ebony, particularly so among the rising generation, as the intermixture of the two races has been greatly on the decrease since the war. • The next thing that would strike our suppo sed tourist as peculiar, would be the indiffer enceand lack of energy displayed by the peo ple, notably so among the whites. Were he inspired with hopes of finding a genuine spe cimen of "Southern chivalry," his ideas of knightly bearing, and bald, dashing address, would he strangely at variance with his thoughts, as he confronted a bitter, descend ent, moody adherent of the "lost cause" who, like his vanquished leader, "accepts nothing," curses the "new departure," and exhausts his eloquence in senseless tirades against the Ad• ministration,the "thieving carpet-baggers" and .the liu•lclux band, Were he questioned on the commercial, ag-, ricultural, or financial interne,' or his neigh borhood' he worth.' assert the folly of attempt., ing any enterprise or improvement as long as they were plundered and defrauded out of their property by the detested tax-collectors, sent Into their midst, and protected by Federal hayonets, for the purpose of enriching them, selves and masted at the expense of a ',tax ridden people." These imagined oppressions, I need hardly say, arise from their decided reversion to contribute, by the payment ofjustr ly assessed tales, toward the support of a 'gov ernment they vainly endeavored to destroy by force of arms. • This spirit of opposition and bitterness ex erts the must deplorable influence on the inter ests of the community where it manifests Itself. Confidence in the motives and policy of the government is wanting, and as an almost nat, ural result local, and even individual enter prise, find no encouragement. Were the effects of this stubborn folly, entailing, as it does, idleness and consequent poverty on the mass of the people, confined to those blind fanatics, to whom it can be clearly traced, its retribu tive action would appear just and almost Pro vidential; but when we consider the following facts: that the South is largely populated by the freedmen, landed into a state of freedom a few years ago, penniless, and dependent on their daily 1.-.bor for a livelihood ; that during their bondage they were made to feel their utter dependence on their owners for every want; that they were reared in brutal igno rance . and superstition by their conscientious masters; when we consider these facts can we be surprised that, intoxicated by the thought of freedom, yet at the same time unable to comprehend the degradation and misery they were released from, cut off from all sympathy and advice of their former masters; can we be surprised that many of them are drifted into idleness, vagabondism and crime? To whom can this state of affairs be charged? To those very men who, at the present time, by their implacable hatred and contempt of a govern meet and administration, kind, just and mag nanimous in its policy towards them, have excited the disgust and "departure" of their Northern sympathizers, and who are the loud ' est in their complaints of the shiftless and idle character of the negro. Bat let us hope a new era is dawning on the South. The senseless jabberings of such fanatics as Davis and Stephens may have a tempering influence on the minds of their old adherents, but cut off from the sympathy and support of the political party in the North -they were wont to call friends, perceiving the folly of acting independently as a party, the Southern Democracy is, we are willing to haz ard our opinion, on the eve of relinquishing forever its old prejudices and animosities, and in accepting in good faith the issues of the war and the legality of the Constitutional Amendments, secure for themselves lasting peace and harmony, and shed additional lustre on the wisdom and purity of the Republican party. AMERICUS. The Poor House • 3ln. EDITOR: The interests of the Tax-payers of our county demand a thorough investigation of the proceedings of the present Poor Directors and of John Logan—the nominal steward. Tho public wish to be informed how much was kept back from last year's report, and the ob ject of so doing? Is this the conduct of honest men, who wish to snake a faithful exhibit of affairs? MOre light is wanted on the corn-crib and wagon shed question. Do the $225 cover the expense, or do some other items in the report make the cost really much more? Questions are asked in all parts of the county, whether John Logan, or the Directors, or some out side parties, manage the affairs of said house, so that they may know where the responsibility be longs? Who can answer? Let the public know why all the patronage of the House is given to Democrats. We should like the editor of the Sxlo Shirloysburg Herald to continue hii explanations why the Poor House buy all their goods of him and another Democrat. How about the paints and oils? When the Poor House was painted, why were not proposals re ceived and the job done by contract, as Mr. Garret wanted to do it, and instead, a "pet" Democrat got the job at his own price, while the Baptist church received proposals for painting, from the same per sons. and Mr. Garret underbid the "pet" Democrat some $5O. and did the work. Let us have some light, if it is true, why preference wasgiven a Dem ocrat over a Republican, as physician for the house, when the latter proposed to do it lower and was a man of eq"al experience and ability. Let us know ;vhethe; it is true that Mr: Drake— s skilled wagon and coffin maker, and a good Re publican, who hail always given satisfaction, was thrown overboard, and his work given to a Demo crat. Lei us know too, whether Mr. Kerr, a sound Re publican, and a man to whom the nominal Steward is said to be under obligations, for saving his prop erty from levy and sale, at the hands of his army of creditors, was sacrillecd, because he could not be bought to o the work of the clique, and Democrats in his stead ? Is not your buying and sellir,go cheap, confined to the interests of the clique? ' Let us know about the following points. Is it true that when the Steward buys scgars by the box, for the use of the Directors, from the aforesaid immaculate editor, they are always required to be ch:.rged as sundries? . . Is it true that Mr. Adum Heater--a former Poor Director—bought of the Poor House, two setts of harness, two jridles, two butt chains, and one pair of homes, for $lO, which were worth more than double the amount? Is it tru* that _Mr. Miller—another guardian of the interest of the Poor, charged the county 545 for a sett of breaehings, without homes, or butt chains, or collars, or bridles? Is it true that Dr. McKnight—physician of the house, sold the county an old worn out, rode-to death army saddle fur Sit, and that the Steward gave ;qr. Miller—the Poor Director, 54 for repair ing the same ? °roe ST. of Win. llarris,said to be worth only $4O by a competent carriage maker, and sold the same to the county for $lOO ? What is the real cause of the patronage going where it does? Is it true that John Logan and the editor of the Sx 10, poured out their anathemas against every citizen, who, desiring to reduce taxa tion, signed a petition, to have the law changed so the Directors would meet only once eicry three months, instead of once every month? Is it true that Logan went to Harrisburg, at the expense of the county, to get the names of said citizens, and to ,nark and withdraw all patronage of the House from them? What a shame that the Steward placed there and paid to protect the interests of the county should prove recreant to his trust and frown upon any effort of reform to lower the taxes. Let us have more explanations, Mr. Editor—for thou art a consistent jewel—better as an editor and Poor House .Ifamoyer, than class-leader, or you would long before this, have informed the members of your class and the citizens of Shirley, why you did not publish a couple of letters received from a certain lady beyond the mill. "Well W. A., we hate no doubt you'll say— Curse her! curse her! she'll rue the day, That those fatal letters were sent, Which have not all my venom spent." But remember W. A., Tender handed touch a nettle. And it pricks you for your pains; Grasp it like a man of mettle,' And it soft us silk remains. • Now you little Bxlo'er— "Fife away, you Ms' feller, You may fife till you are yeller." A TAX PAYEE. The Judgeship. - EDITOII.—As the day designated for the appointment of Conferees approaches, the interest in the contest for the President Judge ship inc,eases. Within a few days the Repub licans of Huntingdon county will be required to decide upon their choice for that important office. Through correspondence and personal interviews with intelligent men throughout the county and the Judicial District we are firmly of the opinion that Judge Taylor neith er wants, nor will accept of the nomination, but that he does want and is strenuously ask ing the control of the Conference of Hunting don county, that he may nominate Mr. Read, of Cambria county, or some other man than John Dean, of Blair. In brief he won't accept a Republican nomination, yet wants to make it, and wants to make such a one as can be easily beaten, thus breaking down and des troying the Republican party. Good men, staunch Republicans, those having the best interests of the Republican party at heart, should be elected Conferees and none other. A REPUBLWAN. W. B. E Poor Direotor. 31R.

The same parties have been charging me with unfaith fulness while I was comity Treasurer, when they knew that their statements are utterly and maliciously false in every particular. They knew that all my official acts are on public record. so that any ono enn examine for himself. My enemies hope thus to prevent my nomination for the Assembly, by prejudicing the minds of the people against me. They refer in a scandium way to "Dr. Legislature." While I WM Treasurer, the new militia law came in force, tinder which the State claimed the militia money and the militia of the county claimed it al-o. I was compelled to pay the money to each claimant; and I got an act pnoeed authorizing the State to refund the amount shown to have been twice paid us per vouchers. This was the only act I asked for and it was granted. The State also charg ed me with a large amount of money more than the coun ty commissioners had assessed or provided for, which I rerused to pay. There Was also a discrepancy in the re port of the State Department and out County Auditors. I tried to set a hearing before a court and jury, but I never got a trial and was compelled to pay a large amount of money that I did not owe. lam ready to compare soy record with any one who has ralsrepresented me. F. 11. LANE. Shirleysburg, August 7, 1571. DEATH OF MRA. 13unristuE,=The many friends of Mrs. Rachel J. Burnside, widow of the late Judge Burnside and eldest daughter of General Cameron, will regret to learn that she departed this life at three o'clock this morning, after a pro tracted illness. During her life she was always a devoted Christian, a friend of the poor, and a faithful mother and daughter. She was much esteemed wherever known for her many good qualities—"none knew her hilt to lave her, none named her but to praise." The bereaved funily have the sincere sympathy and condoleuce of our citizens generally, and have the hlessed assurance that the deceased mother, &ugh. : ter and friend is at rest In the arms of her Saviour, whom she so faithfully served and devotedly loved.--Har. Telegraph, Frightful Calamity ! SEVENTY-111ft PERSONS BILLED! OVER TWO HUNDRED WOUNDED ! BOILER EXPLOSION ! The boiler of the Staten Island Ferry boat Westfield exploded at about 11 P. M. of Sunday, just as the vessel was starting on her trip from the foot of Whitehall Street, near the Battery. The particulars of the accident we copy from the New York Standard. There were on board at the time, as nearly as can be ascertained, nearly four hundred persons, generally of the working classes. The explosion shiv ered the upper works of the forward part of the boat, hurling the fragments of wood and iron and bodies of men, women and little children into the air. The scene was utterly indescribable. In the ship lay the dismantled hull, surround ed by a heavy cloud of dust, steam and smoke. On the docks, on either side, were the dead bodies of those who had been blown thither, with pieces of boiler iron, huge beams of oak, and shattered timbers. The hull of the Westfield was.a complete wreck. Forward of the wheel-house the upper works of the boat, even to the side raillings, were shattered into fragments, some of which had been bdown to great distances, while others had Wien into the hold of the boat. Those who witnessed the fearful scene, say that the explosion was accompanied by three distinct reports, similar in sound to the report of gunpowder exploding in an enclosed space. As the last dull thud was heard, fragments of the wreck, and human bodies were seen to mount high in the air with fearful velocity, and then to fall into the water or on the piers on ei ther side. The hurricane deck—a mass of timber, probably thirty by fifty feet—was lifted bodily from the vessel, raised to the height of twenty or twenty-five feet, and then fell into the water near the end of the slip. Then came a cloud of smoke, and hot steam, and the scene was fora mo ment invisible to the horrified by-standers. When the smoke cleared away a scene of horror, too intense for description, was presented. There lay the dismantled hull, still bearing a portion of her living freight, while around her, struggling in the water, were at least two hundred persons of all ages and both sexes. Clinging to theside rails, at the stern of the boat, were many terrified women, some of them suffering intensely from scalds. Then: gave vent to their fright and suffering in heart-rending screams, which were swelled by the groans of the wounded and dying in the cabins, on deck and in the forward hold, and magni fied into a very Babel of agonizing confu sion by the outcries of those who were struggling for life in the stream. For one moment those on the piles to piers on either side were paralyzed, but only a moment. The region abounds in boatmen, some few of whom witnessed the explosion. These noble men flew to the aid of the drowning people, and in an in credibly short time the river was swarming with boats. Abovt fifteen boats, each manned by an oarsman and a man in the stern, pushed into the stream, each retun ing shortly with a load of seven or eight persons. Those on the piers stood on the stringers, and stretching down managed to grasp the hands of a few who were strug gling near by. Some ruehed aboard the hull, when the smoke had partially cleared away. and devoted themselves to recover ing the bodies of the dead or aiding the wounded. Many of the rescued were badlyscalded, and some of them bad wounds inflicted by spliutula taf-aLe- wreck— The scene after the rescue was as affecting as the explosion itself was horrible. The efforts of the batman had saved many, but many also had sunk beneath the surface, drowning before the very eyes of those who stood on the pier and witnessed their desperate buffetting,s with the destroying element, without being able to raise a hand to as sist them. Altogether at least seventy-five lives were lost by the accident. Thahos pitals were literally filled with the wounded, numbering about two hundred. The Connecticut Borgia Mrs. Sherman, alleged poisoner of hus bands and children, is in close custody at Derby, Connecticut, the scene of most of her nefarious exploits. The main facts of her later life have already been given. But her whole career has been a history of ex traordinary criminality. The daughter of a Trenton butcher, she married Edward Shrunk when seventeen years old, and be came in time the mother of six children. Then began the series of awful events for which she is now held to account. First her husband was taken sick and suddenly died, and subsequently all the children also died within two years, with no assignable cause. The woman soon moved to Connecti cut and married Mr. Hurlburt, of Hunting ton, a man of considerable property; but he, too, died suddenly, shortly after making over all his wordly posessions to his wife. 1 Suspicions now began to be aroused, which were not allayed when it became known that the widow had married her third hus band, a widower with four children, two of whom were also "suddenly taken ill" and died. The father followed them in June last, and the physicians, now thoroughly aroused, made a post mortem examination and discovered the presence of arsenic in large quantities. Subsequent examina tions disclosed that the same deadly drug had been the cause of the deaths of Mr. Sherman's children and Mr. Hurlburt, and the presumed murderess was accor dingly arrested at New Brunswick, N, J., whither she had betaken herself. Her manner is cool and self-posses-ed, and her countenance betrays firmness and cunning. he says little, but expreses the belief in her ultimate acquittal. It can hardly be doubted, however, that she has actually committed no less than eleven most foul and unnatural murders. Ratb.
