PRIVATE RESIDENCE FOR SALE. Having gone into business at this place I propuseto sell my private residence at Bedford, Pennsylvania, at private sale. , It is unnecessary for me to give a description of it to those who are acquainted with it, and to then who have not seen it, and who desire to purchase a neat and complete residence I would say go and examine it. Tno house was entirely overhauled and renovated but a year or two ago. It is located upon a full lot of ground, 60 feet by 240, on East Pitt street, and the corner of an alley leading to the Steam Mill, whieli makes it one of the most public places in the town in a business point of vicar. The lot is under drained by numerous drains, and is second to none in the place. It has produced all the garden vegetables used by my family for years. lu addition there is a flower garden and a considerable quantity of excellent fruit. There is a perpetual insurance upon the house. Address me at Iluntingdon or Bedford, Pa, J. R. DURBORROIV, • Huntingdon, Pa., May 31, 1871. HUNTINGDON, PA.,: SEPTEMBER 20, 1871 pl4o' Por. Smile Whenever You Can. When things don't go to suit you, And the world seems upside down ; Don't waste your time in fretting, But drive away that frown ; Since life is oft perplexing, 'Tis much the wisest plan To wear all trials bravely, And smile when'er you can. Why should you dread to morrow And thus'despoil to-day? For when you borrow trouble, You always have to pay. It is a good old maxim, Which should be often prear:led Don't cross the bridge before nu, Until the bridge is reached. You might be spared much sighing, If you would keep in mind The thought that good and evil Are always here combined. There must be something wanting, And though you roll in wealth; You may lIINS Irons your casket That precious jewel—health. And though you're strong and sturdy, You may have an empty purse ; (And earth has many trials Which I consider worse!) But whether joy or sorrow Fill up your mortal span, 'Twill make your pathway brighter To smile when'er you can. ghe ffilorg-gdier. ISOLII\TM THE twilight filtered through the crim son curtains, and shed a soft glow over the beautiful woman who sat beside the harp. She was a gloriously handsome creature, queenly as Juno, with the grace of Venus added; dark, lustrous eyes, jetty hair, and olive skin glowing with crimson. Her white hand strayed carelessly over the harp strings, as though unmindful of her companion, a fair-haired youth, who hung over her with an abandonment of devotion such as only youth can feel and show. The twi light grew deeper, and the French clock told the hour. The woman seemed to start from her reverie; she held up her finger with a half chiding air, and said, "Maurice !" The boy blushed deeply. "Pardon me, but the minutes fly so fast." "Minutes !—you should say hours, naughty boy." . - "lours! Were they years, they would go as quickly." "Fie !" but the soft, bright glance denied the reproof. "You must really go now." She held out her hand. He bent over it reverently. A footstep sounded outside, and she quickly withdrew it, saying care lessly, "Good-bye." "Good-bye," he replied, and left the room. The twilight had thickened into night, and the lamps burned brightly when he reached the street. He walked briskly on, his head in Utopia, and his feet sometimes in snow, till he reached the modest house in•whi, h wt. - 4 - th4 The front door creaked as he opened it, and a slovenly housemaid looked up the kitchen stairs to see who came in. "It's only that soft-headed painter on the third-story back," she reported to a sister below. The "painter" went up the stairs till he reached the "third-story back," which he unlocked and entered. It was a large room with a mixture of dreariness and cheerful ness, comfort and discomfort, produced by the disorder of its contents, which, if man aged by a deft hand, would have made it almost luxurious. Maurice added to the mass by tossing hat and coat on the nearest chair; and then, after filling a tiny kettle and putting it ou the grate, he walked to an easel that stood in the middle of the room, and draw ing aside the cover, gazed in wrapt devo tion on the picture it held. It was thewoman he had just left. How the soft eyes seemed* to beam, and the red lips to smile, and the crimson on the cheek to deepen beneath his eyes! The kettle sang louder and louder, and at last bubbled over into the fire, but it. did not awaken hint front his dream. Suddenly a hand fell on his shoulder, and a cheerful voice cried, "Heigh% Maurice ! Worshiping at your own shrine?' The boy turned, and saw a tall, bearded man in the prime cf life. He had a strong, proud face, with a broad, high- brow; a mouth firm and kind, around which care had drawn some lines, and eyes that were usually sad, but were now smiling kindly on the boy. "Peyton," said ho, grasping his hand, "welcome." "Thanks," repeated Peyton. "But let we see the beauty that has so enchained you." Ile looked at the picture andgrew white; with one hand he grasped Maurice by the shoulder, and pointing to it with the other, he cried, "Great heaven, Maurice, has she crossed your path ?" . . The blood 'mounted to Maurice's brow. He threw off the hand and drew himself up haughtily, but did not speak; and with the sad light flooding his eyes, Peyton continued, "My poor boy, has that beauti ful fiend wound her deceitful wiles around you ?" Maurice's eyes flashed. "How dare you speak thus of the purest and most beautiful woman on earth Y Pey ton, you are mad !" "No, but when I see that face I wonder that lam not. Maurice, listen to me. I love you with a love man sometimes gives to man—a love that is not often born, but which, when once awakened, dies but with life; and, in the name of that love, I ask you, I beg you, to flee from that woman ! Avoid her as you would a deadly serpent! Destroy that picture, and tear her memory from your heart. Ah, Maurice, do it for my sake ! I love you far better than she ever can." "Peyton, do you know that you speak of the wife of a gentleman ?" • "Wife of a gentleman ! In heaven's name, Maurice, not ours ?" The burning pain in his eyes forced Maurice to reply, "No." "Thank hea;en ! I would rather kill you with my own hand than hear you call that wretched woman wife." Maurice sprang forward, and clutched him by -the throat. "Coward ! How dare you? You shall answer for this! I see it all—you love her yourself!" _ _ With a calm hand, Peyton pushed him off. "Love her ? Yes, I loved her once with a strength that wasted all my youth, and made my manhood desolate; and, to save you from a like fate, I will tell you a secret that I thought to carry to my grave. That woman is my wife !" His face was ashy, and great beads stood on his brow. Maurice stood like a statue a second; and then, looking Peyton boldly in the fac.g,hobaaid, "You lie!" and, fold ing his arms, calmly awaited the result of his words. The veins knotted on Peyton's brow, and his face grew crimson. He raised his hand but it fell quickly to his side. He stepped close to Maurice. "Maurice, no other man has ever said those words to me, and had another than you said them now, I should have struck -him to the earth ; but I cannot harm you. It is not you, but the spirit of that devil there, that speaks ;" and he dashed the picture to the ground. His lip trembled. "God bless you, Maurice; I forgive you, but henceforth we must be strangers." He left the room. * * * * * * In the drawing-room soft music filled the air, and fair forms glided in the drea my waltz. In the conservatory, far enough from the festive hall to have its brilliancy toned down to intoxicating softness, Mau rice stood by Isoline. Grandly beautiful she was, her crimson dress falling in long, gleaming folds, and the diamonds on her arms and hair flashing a tribute light to her dusky eyes. She leaned heavily on Maurice's arm, and her hair almost touched his cheek. The music grew softer, fainter; Maurice turned his head, and a:drooping branch swept his hair upon his forehead. Isoline raised her hand and swept it back. The touch sent the blood like fire through his veins. The place swam before his eyes, and in an instant he was pressing the hand to his heart, and pouring forth wild words of love. A look of triumph flashed for an instant beneath her downcast li.ls; she had won her game. She liked the boy, and, if she da red, she would give back love for love ; but her life already held too many dark secrets to risk another. She withdrew her band. "Maurice! Mr. Maur ! How dare you ? Is this your return for my kindness ? Oh, base ingratitude !" "Ingratitude! Oh, Isoliue, what have I done ?" "Forgotten that I am a wife I' Had * Maurice been a man, he would have flung back that she had first forgotten that; but he only murmured, with pale lips, .Forgive me. You are my life. My very soul is yours." "Again . hat insult ! Leave me, sir, or I call my husband." Her voice was haughty and her eyes cold. Mutely Maurice turned away, and left her. She waited till he left the con servatory; and then, with a low laugh, she returned to the drawing-room. She left too soon to hear the bushes part, and a man, with a stern, white face, step out and walk to the door, whence be watched her as she mingled with the throng. The man was Peyton. He glared at her with hate ful eyes, and when, in reply to a remark, her light laugh came to him, he slipped forward. But he checked himself, and said, "For Maurice's sake I will not. I will go to him. He must let me help him." He left the door, and went to look for Maurice. No Maurice there. A servant said a gentleman had-left a short time be :11 "Poor boy !" he muttered. "I will fol low him. She shall nor take him from me." He called a carriage, and drove hastily to Maurice's home. The door stood open. He entered, and ran quickly up to his room. No light was visible within. He knocked; no answer. tie knocked again; still no reply. He tried the door; it was fast. A vague ferr stole over him. He put his shoulder to the door; it yielded to his strength, and swung open. He enter ed. His foot struck something. He pick ed it up, and knew it to be a Florentine dagger that ho had given Maurice; the blade was wet. cold horror ran over him. Holding the dagger fast he went towards the man tel. At his next step his foot struck against something. Great heaven ! what did it mean? With a mighty stride he passed over it, and seized the matches. He tured on the gas, and fleeing darkness unveiled a sight that froze his blood. He did not cry out. He gazed a second, and a wild hope seized him. He knelt beside him and felt his heart; iu vain; the dagger had gone home. He raised the fair young head in his arms, and cov ered brow and lips with kisses such as men but seldom gives to man ; then he tenderly laid the body gown; and, as he rose, be saw, lying where he had dashed it a few hours ago, the picture of the woman with a scarlet blood smear across her brow. With a curse, he dashed his heel through the canvas, and rushed from the room. Oat into the darkness he hurried, towards the gay scene where he had left her. He reached the house. Music, and dancing, and laughter continued. He laughed too when he thought how soon he would turn that joy to horror. He entered the house, and looked for her among the crowd; she was not there. He asked for her, and was told that she had left the house few min utes before. Out again-in the night. Her residence was not far away, and he soon reached it. Lights were still burning and he rang the door•bell violently. "Have your master and mistress reti red?" he asked of the servant. "I must see them." The servant looked uncertain ; but Pey ton heard voices, and saw a light stream ing through an open door. He pushed the servant aside, and went towards the sounds. He paused on the threshold. It was the room in which he had first saw her with Maurice. A bright fire burned in the grate. Isoline, : still in her ball dress, reclined in a lare chair before it, and a man she called her husband, a noble, white-haired man, with gentleman stamped on every feature, was mixing a soothing drink for her. Peyton lingered on the threshold, and a cry of pity went forth for that proud old man; but the fair face, all blood-stained, was between them, and he advanced. Mr. Russell looked up. Astonishment filled his face when he saw Peyton, so pale and haggard; but he suppressed it, and, extending his hand, said, "You are welcome, Mr. Peyton, but I fear no pleas. ant errand has brought you here. May I ask what it is ?" Peyton did not reply. His gaze was fixed on Isoline. She had risen from her chair, and clutching the back4or support, she turned at him, white as marble, and with eyes full of horror. Mr. Russell repeated the question. 'Pardon me, Mr. Peyton, but may I ask what you want ?" Not once did Peyton move his eyes from the cowering woman. He railed his arm, and pointing his finger at her said, "I want my wife !" A death-like silence followed the awful words, and then Mr. Russell reached for the bell. Peyton stopped him. "I knowNvhat you think—that I am either drunk or mad; but I am neither. Ask that woman if I tell the truth ! Ask her if I found her among the slums of a foreign city, and thought her a pure lily blooming amid pollution, till dazzled by her beauty and blinded by her arts, I mar ried her ; and she repaid me as such out casts always do; dishonored my name, and fled with another. Ask her ! Isoline, is it true?" She did not speak ; but the stricken old man saw in her face a more fearful confir mation than words could make. He stag gered to a chair, and Peyton continued— "l know not how she has ensnared 'you, nor do I care. I would have left her in peace had she not again crossed my path, and robbed me of all I had left. You know Maurice Maur; I loved that boy more deeply than man often loves woman. That devil there cast her wiles around him, and drew them closer and tighter till she held his heart in her hand; and when, at last, lured on by her arts, he told his love, she cast it back on him in outraged virtue ! Her virtue ! Ha ! ha! Woman, look at me 1 Maurice Maur now lies a bloody corpse! The world will call his death sui cide, but God will call it murder at your hands ! Come and see your work 1" He grasped her arm. Mr. Russell star ted up. "Stand back !" said Peyton. This is my wife—do not interfere. Come, Moline.' She tore herself away, and fell at his feet. "Mercy, mercy, Edward! Do not take me to that fearful place ! The sight would kill me!" "Kill you! Would to heaven that it would ! Come, Isoline; you must go." He raised her to her feet, and tried to lead her away; but she burst from him, and, with one wild shriek, fell senseless to the floor. Mr: Russell rose, and knelt be side her. He did not speak, but lifted a pale, imploring face to Peyton. "I understand," said Peyton. "I have done my work; I leave her to you now. Old man you love her. I pity you; but your course will soon be run; you will soon be free. Do not quite hate me; spare one tear for the weight that I must bear for long, long years. lam going now. Fare well forever. The next day the world had two things to prate of—the suicide of Maurice, and the sudden illness of Mrs. Russell. Poor Maurice was buried, and, soon after the sods were piled upon his grave, his name was heard no more. But Mrs. Rus sell was more than a "nine days' wonder." She was never seen again. Shortly after her illness, a carriage was seen one night to leave her house with several trunks on the top; and soon after the place was shut up, and Mr Russell went abroad, some said to meet her ; but others said she had eloped with Peyton. But nothing was ever known except that some years after, as one of her old friends was lounging in a French cafe, he remarked to a friend that the face of one of the singers remind ed him of Mrs. Russell. ~nu+~- Mr. Banks' Legislative Record. The 'Standard last week attempted a biography of Thaddeus Banks, Esq., the Democratic candidate for President Judge, and dwelt at some length upon his legisla tive career. We propose to add thereto from the official records now befbre us. When the war broke out in 1861, Mr. Banks, with a great flourish of trumpets, announced himself a War Democrat. He was nominated by the Democratic party for Assembly, was elected by Republicans who believed him honest, and took his seat on the ith of January, 1862. In that House were such War Democrats as Hon. John Scott, Hon. John Cessna, and Hon. John Rowe, all elected, like Mr. Banks, from Republican districts. HE PLAYED FALSE TO HIS WAR DEM- OCRATIC FRIENDS. The House was Republican, but to prove that the Republican party were will ing to unite with honest War Democrats, the Republican caucus nominated Hon John Rowe, of Franklin, for Speaker. The Democrats nominated Hon. William Hopkins, of "Washington. The vote stood —53 for Rowe, to 47 for Hopkins, Mr. Banks voting for Hopkins, and against a Democrat sincere in his opposition to Treason. [See Logislative Record 0f1862, page 6.] HE VOTED AGAINST EXPELLING THE TRAITOR,•BILIGIIT. On the 28th of January, 1862, Mr. Cowan, of Warren, introduced the follow ing resolution : WHEREAS, Jesse D. Bright, of the Uni ted States Senate, has given evidence of treason and disloyalty to the government he was and is sworn to support, and has written the following letter : WASHINGTON, Mar. 1, 1861. MY DEAR SIR :—Allow me to introduce to your acquaintance, my friend, Thomas B. Lincoln. of Texas. He visits your capi tal mainly to dispose of what ho regards a great improvement in fire-arms. I com mend him to your favorable consideration as a gentleman of the first respectability, and reliable in every respect. Very truly, yours, JESSE'II. BRIGHT. To his Excellency, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States." Which lettor recognizes the slavery re bellion as a de facto government, and could only have been written with a trai torous intent: therefore be it RESOLVED, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, That our Senators from this State be and they are hereby instructed to vote for the immediate expulsion of the said Jesse D. Bright from his seat in the United States Senate Two days later, Mr. Lowry, of Erie, in troduced a similar resolution in the Sen ate, which was passed. On the following day it was reported from the House Com mittee on Federal Relations and on a mo tion to suspend the rules to proceed to its consideration, the vote stood—ayes, 51; nays, 32 ; Mr. Banks voted NAY. Less than two-thirds having voted affirmatively, the resolution went over. [Legislative Record, page 170.] On the same day, Mr. Bingham, of Allegheny, moved to consider the joint resolution offered by Mr. Cowan. Agreed to—ayes, 47; nays, 36, Mr. Banks voting NAY. The resolution being now before the House, Mr. Cessna, to avoid any confusion which might occur between the two Houses by reason of each having a similar resolution, and also, to afford Mr. Bright an opportunity to defend himself, moved to strike out the whole of the orig inal resolution and insert the following : Resolved, That in case the Senators from Pennsylvania in the Congress of the Uni- ted States, Messrs. Cowan and Wilmot, after an investigation of the facts in the case, should come to the conclusion that the substance of the charge set forth in this preamble is established against said Bright by the evidence, or that in the present struggle his heart is not with his country but with her enemies, then they, the said Senators, are hereby instructed to vote for the expulsion of said Bright, whether in their opinion the evidence may or may not be technically sufficient to con vict him of treason in a court of justice, unless in their judgment there be some constitutional barriers against such expul sion. Mr. Cessna's amendment was agreed to by a vote of 57 ayes to 37 nays, Mr. Banks seeing that his persistent voting in the in terest of the Rebels, was attracting atten tion, this time voted aye. On the sth of February the resolution was returned from the Senate, that body having refused to concur in the House amendment. Mr. Armstrong, of Lycomiug, moccd that the House recede. Disagreed to—ay 40; nays, 41, Mr. Banks seeing little prospect of the two Houses agreeing, and knowing that a failure to agree was all that would defeat the resolution, again voted NAY. Committee of conference were appointed who failed to agree. [Legislative Record, pages 171, 172, 485, 203.] Had he voted to recede, the Senate resolution would have passed. Thus, Mr. Banks' great tri umph as a War Democrat, was in prevent ing by his vote the passage of a resolution denouncing the treason of a Northern United States Senator. HE VOTED AGAINST GIVING THE HALL FOR A LECTURE AGAINST TREASON. On the 3d of February, Mr. M'Clellan, of Chester, offered a resolution giving the Hall of the House to Rev. George B. Chee rer to deliver a lecture against the Rebel lion, on the following Wednesday evening. Agreed to—ayes, 43 ; nays, 36, Mr. Banks voting NAY. [Legislative Lecord, pg. 166.] Mr. Cheerer's offence consisted in publicly denouncing the Rebellion. HE SHUTS TEE DOOR ON WENDELL PHILLIPS. On the 17th of March, Mr. Williams, of Allegheny, moved to suspend the rules to allow him to offer a resolution granting the Hall the Wendell Phillips, to deliver a lecture in, on the succeeding Thursday evening. Disagreed to—ayes ' 29; nays, 37, Mr. Banks voting NAY. Mr. Phillips has no sympathy for Slavery or Treason, and hence, he did not suit Mr. Banks. (Legislative Record, page 489.] HE OPPOSED AN OATII OF ALLEGIANCE. On the 26th of March, Mr. M'Manus, of Philadelphia, moved that the House proceed to the consideration of bill No. 253. Agreed to—ayes, 61 ; nays, 23, Mr. Banks voting NAY. This bill provided that all persons holding offices of profit or trust, within the Commonwealth, shall take and subscribe an oath of allegiance to sup port, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and of this State against all enemies, whether domestic of foreign. This blow at the sympathisers wit,, toe newlyon was too much for Sir. Banks' boasted War Democracy, and he went plump into the Rebel camp. [Legis lative Record, page 666.] He, doubtless, could have stood an oath to protect the Constitution against Foreigners, but to ask Pennsylvanians to swear not to take part with Southern Democrats, was too much. HE WANTED TO SWAMP THIS CONGRES SIONAL DISTRICT. On the 9th of April, while the Congres sional apportionment was pending and the XVIIth district under discussion, Mr. Banks, in a speech, and the longest one of his legislative career, too, advocated the adding of Clearfield county to our district, so as to put this county completely under the heel of Wallace and his coffee-pot fol lowers. That the proposition to annex Clearfield to our district, was entirely in the interest of Wallace; that nobody in this county desired it, and that Mr. Banks, consistent Presbyterian as the Standard claims hint, was willing to sacrifice truth to Rebel Democracy, we quote from his speech '•I hope that the amendment of the gen tleman from Cambria, [Mr. Pershing,] will prevail. * * * I have received letters front persons living in Clearfield county, in which they ask that that county be attached to our dis trict. * * * Their business relations are entirely with us. * * I may also say that the amendment now proposed will not interfere with the other portions of the bill whatever. It simply proposes to detach a county front the dis trict and attach it to another. [Legislative Record, page 943.] Its FAVORED HUMAN SLAVERY. On the 9th of April, Mr. Williams, of Allegheny, moved to consider the follow ing resolution, it having previously passed the Senate : WHEREAs, The Constitution of the United States was ordained and adopted to establish justice and secure the blessings of liberty to the people, AND WHEREAS, It is provided in the eighth section of the Constitution that Congress shall have power to exercise ex clusive legislation in all cases whatsover over the District of Columbia, AND WHEREAS, A bill is • now pending in Congress providing for the abolition of slavery in said District; Therefore, RE SOLVED, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennslyvania, in General dlssembly met, That it is the unquestionable right and manifest duty of Congress to abolish slave ry in the District of Columbia. That our Senators in Congress be and they are hereby instructed and our Repre sentatives requested to vote for the total and immediate abolition of slavery in said District on such terms as may be deemed just and equitable to slave owners therein. That the Governor .be requested to for ward a copy of these resolut/bna to each of our Senators and Representatives in Con gress. The motion was disagreed to, the vote standing—ayes, 40 ; nays, 50, Mr. Banks voting NAY. [Legislative Record, page 948.] —Such is Mr. Banks record as a leg islator. We have recorded it faithfully and quoted him correctly, giving the page of the official record upon which every vote and speech referred to, may be found. If his record is one of devotion to, and sympathy with Treason, when Treason was raising its blood-red hand and aiming at the heart of the Nation, he made it so himself. We have followed him through his entire legislative career—from the hour when he confessed that his professions of War Democracy were a fraud, at the or ganization of the House, to the day when he gave his full - measure of devotion to Rebel Democracy by voting against the abolition of Human Slavery in the District , of Columbia—and at almost every turn of NO. 37. the page, the official record shows his sympathy with the Slaveholders' Rebel lion. His sympathy with the Rebels crop ped out on every occasion that offered— sometimes in the cowardly Copperhead way of voting against the consideration of a measure, as in the case of the Bright res olution, and sometimes in the open Rebel way, as in that of granting the Hall to the Rev. Mr. Cheever in which to deliver a lecture against the Rebellion ; but always in the interest of the Rebels in their effort to destroy the Government. We submit these votes of Mr. Banks, cast when the life of the Nation was trembling in the balance, and when every motive of patriot ism oug ht to have impelled every legisla tor from a loyal State to vote and act for his country, to the careful scrutiny and consideration of every voter in Blair county and throughout this Judicial District, con fident that they will not again place in office one who used his voice and vote, as a legislator, to further the Treason of the country's worst. Traitors.—Blair Vounty Radical. Ito Escavo of G. 0. Evails. Assistance of the New York Democracy. ONE RASCAL HELPS ANOTHER. GOV. HOFFMAN GIVES THE CULPRIT TIME TO ESCAPE. George 0. Evans has, at least for a time, escaped the strong arm of the Com monwealth. An officer of the law left Harrisburg for Albany on Friday last with all the necessary documents, under the great seal of the State, empowering him to arrest a fugitive from justice, in the person of George 0. Evans, then known to be in the city of New York. The offi cer arrived in Albany on Saturday after noon with a requisition from the Execu tive of this State for the surrender of Evans. This requisition required the en dorsement of Gov. Hoffman to render it effective ; but Governor Hoffman was conveniently absent from the seat of gov ernment, and the officer was compelled to await his return, which he was told would be on the Monday morning following. Ac cordingly on Monday morning, at the usual time for opening the Governor's of fice, Lieut. Hoopes, (the officer referred to) presented himself and exhibited the requi sition 'from Gov. Geary for the endorse ment of Gov. Hoffman. The Governor was not present—but the Clerk in the of fice was about to comply, when be was prevented by the Private Secretary of the Governor, who informed him that he knew all about the case—that the Governor had received a dispatch from Harrisburg on Saturday morning, informing bins that a requisition had been issued by Gov. Geary, and that Judge Parker, an eminent law yer residing in Albany, had called on Gov. Hoffman -and rertneatti to liAoloati counsellor took any action in the matter. (The question suggests itself, who tele graphed to the Governor of New York, informing him of the action of Gov. Geary, thereby aiding the escape of au embezzler from this State ? This will no doubt, be discovered by an investigating committee of the Legislature.) But to resume. Lieut. Hoopes was then informed that the Governor would return at eleven o'clock, when he might call and • have an interview with him. Punctually at the time specified he entered the Exec utive chamber and met his Excellency, from whom be learned that Judge Parker had appeared before him as counsel for Evans, and that he had given him until four o'clock to examine the papers present ed, and hear an argument on the same.— Lieut. Hoopes reminded the Governor that this proceeding was extraordinary ; that requisitions of this kind were generally re cognized at once, or rejected if not in form. The Governor, however, persisted in his decision, and Lieut. Hoopes had to wait until four o'clock before he could learn what the Governor intended to do. At the hour specified the Lieutentant again called, and was finally informed that the Governor would permit the surrender of the fugitive, on the requisition of Governor Geary, if he could be found in that State. Before the Governor of New York had agreed to endorse the requisition, Mr. Evans, who was in New York, was inform ed by telegraph what the authorities at Albany were doing; thus giving him am ple time to leave the State, or secrete him self in any of the many dens so notorious in that city. Lieut. Hoopes was compelled to wait nearly three whole days before the requisition was endorsed by Gov. Hoffman. There can, therefore, be no doubt that the Tammany thieves were aiders and abettors in the escape of Evans. We understand, also, that Evans has ' counsel employed in New York, who have already a habeas corpus issued, so that if by chance Evans should be arrested there he could be at once taken before one of their own partisan judges, who would no doubt discharge him without hesitation.— We predict that Evans will not be arrested in New York before the November elec tion. He would be valuable at that time. He is a good repeater, understanding the ten per cent. business to a fraction. Is. Richard Yana and twenty-four other Democrats of Philadelphia have issued an address to the Democracy of Pennsylvania, in which they declare over their names, "the negroes of right never have been and never should be a portion of the political power of this country," and reaffirm the immediate belief of the unde filed Democracy that "this is a white man's Government, formed by white men for White men and their posterity forever." They denounce the assumption of authori ty by which the Harrisburg convention dishonored the time-honored principles of the organization, and by one resolution settled as dead issues they will resist to the bitter end. A vote for any candidate of the Democracy, we repeat, will be a vote in favor of negro suffrage. Are the Dem ocrats of Pennsylvania prepared for this ? —State Journal. 10.. The action of The Republican County Convention of Huntingdon, on Tuesday, is especially gratifying. Both wings seemed disposed to harmonize ex isting differences, and once more wheel in to line and place a ticket in nomination which would be elected by the old fash ioned Republican majority. We believe the Republican Party of Huntingdon will be a unit in October. A desperate effort will be made to elect Mr. Africa to the Legislature, but we believe his defeat is as probable as that of his Democratic compeers. —Tyrone Herald.
