recommends in the National organ of that
party.

mule to water, but made him drink.— N. I'.

Mr. Burchard must have had a difficult
job. It is very uu•Democratic for even a
"Democratic mule" to drink water.
Hereafter, when the Republicans want any
little piece of work done, confidentially, you
know, they won't be likely to confide it to a
red-beaded man. Anderson has a red head,
d—n him t—Demseratic Watchman.
No, but the Democrats will be hunting
up all red-headed men in the country for
witnesses. "Brick-tops" who want an oc
cupation can apply to Potter. No man
with a red head is above suspicion now.
TEtz Democratic majority in the present
House of Representatives was increased
by admitting all the DeMocrats who con
tested the seats of Republicans. It was
only necessary for a Democrat to say, "I
want in," and in he went. We should not
be satisfied to elect our member in this
district by a small majority. It must be
so large that it cannot be overcome at
Washington. Let us do our work so well
that they will have no chance to cheat us.
THERI are, as far as we know, three
candidates for Oongress in this district.—
They ars T. M. Mahon, of Franklin county,
Win. H. Harding, of Snyder, and L. E.
Atkinson, of Juniata. The first two have
the conferees of their respective counties,
while Juniata has not chosen conferees.—
We do not know that any other person is
spoken of as a candidate except Hon. H.
G. Fisher, and we do not understand that
he has yet consented to be one.
ANDIASON wanted an appointment to a
"warm climate." According to his own
picture of himself, he is a proper subject
for the hottest one we have ever heard
anything about. But President Hayes
had no authority to send him there, all
the consulates in that region, being at the
disposal of a certain cloven-footed gentle
man with whom our government holds no
intercourse. But he will call on Anderson
after while. Meantime the latter will so
journ with Potter.
Tuxax was a little excitement at Quebec
a few days ago. Some of the citizens had
a sham battle with the .military. People
outside of Canada call the citizens "a
mob," and their demonstration "a riot,"
but such people don't know anything about

ing themselves to meet it. They took
some sour out of the stores so that they
will have a supply when the enemy comes
upon them. The invaders of whom they
are living in dread are the Fenians and
not the copperheads. They are looking
fur the latter too, but know that the it
coming means war in the United States
and peace in Canada.
IT is not too soon for Republicans to
begin to organize. Our State ticket is in
the field, and united, concerted effort for
its election should commence at once.—
There is no reason why we should wait for
the nomination of our county ticket. It
we can carry Huntingdon county for Hoyt,
Sterrett, Stone, and Dunkel by the majori
ties they ought to have, the election of our
local candidates will follow as a neoessary
consequence. We will assure the election
of both tickets by organizing now. Hun
tingdon should have a Hoyt and Tariff
Club—Hoyt being the leading candidate
and tariff being one of the great principles
for which we must battle in this campaign.
Organizations should also be made in the
townships, and meetings held weekly or
semi-monthly. There are speakers in
every district who can render valuable
service to their neighbors by explaining
the political issues and advocating Repub
lican measures. There is a large field of
labor for our active men.
A CONFEDERATE RETREAT.
The revolution has been checked ; the
confederates have fallen back from their
advanced position ; they have made their
first retreat. It is almost a month since
they started out upon their campaign, os
tensibly against "fraud," but really against
the peace and integrity of the nation.
"Fraud" was inscribed upon their flowing
banners, "fraud" was proclaimed as if a
thousand evil Gabriela, if such there
could be, had enlisted in their special
trumpet service. "Fraud" was to be at
tacked, routed, annihilated. "Fraudulent"
Editor,
returning boards, "fraudulent, statesmen
and a "fraudulent" cabinet were alike to
be trodden under the heel of an avenging
Nemesis. It was the Presidency particu
larly that this Nemesis wished to get at.
The enemy against which they set out
to do battle has not been discovered. They
have scoured Florida and Louisiana with
out finding the giant whose name they held
aloft and shouted aloud. They have called
those who were supposed to know of his
whereabouts, but no tidings of him have
been found. They have come, therefore, to
the reluctant conclusion that the monster,
"Fraud," does not exist, and have with
drawn their line of battle frcm what they
now confess to have been but an imaginary
foe.
What has been accomplished by the Potter
committee after three weeks of investiga
tion ? Absolutely nothing. Nothing has
been elicited that was not before well-known,
nothing that has changed the views of a sin
gle i*idividual in regard to affairs in Florida
and Louisiana, nothing that has weakened
the faith of Republicans in their party.
The effect has been rather the reverse, to
harmonize, to solidify, to consolidate that
party in facing what they believe to be an
overwhelming danger. It is this effect, so
contrary to what the conspirators expected,
that has caused them to turn and beat a
hasty retreat. The cry of "fraud" was a
sham from the beginning. They knew
they would not find any, but believed that
under the pretense of searching for it, they
could cover up their attack upon the very
citadels of the Republic and break them
down before their defenders would find
out that they were the real objects of at
tack. The campaign against "fraud"
might have been continued indefinitely, if
that had been the real purpose, but in op
position to an awakened and outraged public
opinion the revolutionists could not perse
vere in their ulterior designs.
Let us examine the recent action of
Congress in reference to the President's
title. On the 12th instant the House of
Representatives adopted the following pre
amble and resolution :
WHEREAS, At the joint meeting of the two
Houses of the Forty-fourth Congress, conven
ed, pursuant to law and the Constitution, for
the purpose of ascertaining and counting the
votes for President and Vice-President for the
term commencing March 4, 1877, on counting
the votes, Rutherford B. Hayes was declared
elected President, and William A. Wheeler
was declared elected Vice—President for such
term ; therefore :
Resolved, That no subsequent Congress, and
neither House, has jurisdiction to revise the
action at such joint meeting and any attempt,
by either House to annul or disregard such
action or the title to office arising therefrom,
would be revolutionary, and is disapproved
by this House.
That an attack upon the President's ti
tle would be "revolutionary" is just what
we,in common with Republicans generally,
have maintained, and now we have the
declaration of Congress to the same effect.
This is certainly a change of front, a Dem
ocratic retreat. They had abundant op
portunity to say the same thing at an ear
lier day, when they would have excited no
suspicion by so doing. They could have
said so in the resolution providing for the
Potter investigation, they could have said
so in their caucus when the subject was
brought up and when they refused to take
action upon it. All their conduct hereto
fore has pointed to a denial of the title of
President Hayes Chairman Potter, in his
open letter, said that the work of his com•
mittee might be followed by action on the
part of Congress. That letter was pub
lished weeks ago. Would it not have af
forded the Democrats an excellent oppor
tunity to have said just what they say now
—to have repudiated the doctrine of the
chairman, if they then believed it erro
neous. That Potter is a "revolutionist" is
now beyond question. His Democratic
colleagues have so branded him, and there
are twenty-one other Democrats in Con
gress who bear the same stamp. There
was a time when there was not that num
ber of rebels in the whole United States,
but rebellion grew until it involved the
entire population of fifteen States. So
"revolution" may grow until the twenty
one revolutionists now in Congress increase
to a majonty, and then what weight will
be attached to either the declaration of
the present Congress, or that of the last
one, determining, as was supposed, the
Presidential title ?
The Democrats abandoned their inten
tion of removing Mr. Hayes, or of decla
ring the office vacant,or that Tilden ought
rightfully to occupy it, only when they
failed totally to connect the President with
alleged frauds or to prove his knowledge
of them. In acknowledging his title in.
violate, the Democrats have paid a high
but unintended compliment to his inno
cence and integrity, for if they could have
found the least taint upon these, they
would not have spared his title. They
have made a confession that their investi
gation is a failure ; they hesitate to pro.
cipitate a revolution because the pretext
for it has been utterly swept away.
Bat we call this a retreat merely. They
have not quitted the field. Their ranks
may be reformed and reinforced. The
sham cry of "fraud" may be laid aside.
They may hereafter advance boldly, and it
may require a stronger barrier next time
to stay their progress than has been ne
cessary now to turn their faces.
TUE railroads are now at peace, and the
hotels have had their "war." The result
of this recent cutting of first-class hotel
rates in New York leaves the Grand Cen
tral in the lead, with rates one and two
dollars per day lower than the rest.
Whoever heard a barrel hoop.—Ex.
Tilden's barTs hooped and Tilden whoop
ed too when Congress said that to attack
Hayes' title would be "revolutionary."—
His bar'l's not only hooped but headed,
and won't be opened again until 1880.
SOME HUNTINGDON COUNTY
POLITICS.
An item floating around says
The Huntingdon Journal is fearful that J.
Simpson Africa will carry that county and
pull the Democratic local ticket through.
The Journal ought not to be afraid. The
success of the Democracy is just what the
Iluntingdon people desire, and if Mr. Africa
can carry the county and pull the balance of
the Democratic ticket through with him, the
Journal ought to rejoice instead of lament.
Huntingdon has been so long cursed with Re
publican rule that her people are anxious to
make the late breaks in the ranks of that party
permanent, and therefore most of them will
vote for Mr. Africa and the whole Democratic
ticket.—Democratic Watchman.
We have noticed the item quoted by
the Watchman in perhaps a dozen Demo
cratic papers. It appeared first in the
Harrisburg Patriot and Philadelphia Times,
on or about the same day, and has since
been flying around with a greater rapidity
than the truth usually attains, or is likely
to attain in the channels through which
this has been given currency. The item
is about as reliable and worthy of credit
as the Watchman's comments, and not any
more so. If the success of the Democracy
is just what the people of Huntingdon
county desire, how does it come that the
Democracy is never successful here ? If
the people are dissatisfied with Republican
rule, why do they not make a change ?
We elect our officers and obtain expres
sions of public sentiment upon political
questions just as they do in Centre county
or any other place where fair elections are
permitted, and it is the most transparent
nonsense, if not worse, to say that we want
Democrats elected to office, when we have
shown by repeated Republican majorities
that we don't want anything of the kind.
Mr. Africa has himself been a candidate
several times when the people said they
did not want him. In 1856 he ran for
County Surveyor and was not elected, and
in 1871 he was defeated for Legislature.
It is nearly twenty years since he was
elected to any office in this county. his
attempt since the war was a signal failure,
brought about partially by some things he
said and did during that struggle. He
has been defeated often enough to prove
that he is by no means a formidable can
didate here, and the JOURNAL is not at
all fearful that he will "carry the county"
or "pull the Democratic local ticket
through." By the time he gets through
himself he will be so completely flattened
out that he will look more like a map of
Africa than the genuine article. As to
the Democratic county ticket, we would
remind the Watchman of that comparison
in Scripture about a camel going through
the eye of a needle. The "late breaks" in
our party are permanently repaired, and
if they were not, any anxiety on the part
of Democrats to keep them open would do
much to close them up. Huntingdon coun
ty is solidly and reliably Republican.
ACCORDING to the Clarion Democrat,
Chairman Speer has written a private let
ter to the oil regions recommending Mr.
Dill to the good graces of the people there.
Mr. Speer also says a word for himself, as
follows :
"The oil region has my earnest sympathy,
and I would not advise your people to support
any one whom I believed hostile to their real
interests, but knowing Dill as I do, I know
you can trust him and safely."
Now, hasn't Mr. Speer recommended
himself quite as much as he has Mr. Dill ?
The oil region has his sympathy. And
what can the oil region give him in re
turn ? He'll let them know in due time.
But what was wrong out them that a let
ter, and a private one, too, was required
from Mr. Speer ? Is that the way the
crooked places in Mr. Dill's record are to
be straightened out ? If so, Mr. Speer will
have an abundance of letter writing to do.
There is the nine million steal, and the
resolution declaring that the rebellion
could not be put down by force of arms ,
and that military record. These things
need a little attention Let us hear from
you, Mr. Speer, by private letter.
DILL was a member of the Democratic
State Convention in 1861, which declared
that the Union could "never•be maintained
by force of arms," and that as Democrats
they were "not willing to take up arms."
Ross was a delegate to the National Demo
cratic convention in 1860, which nominated
McClellan and declared that the war was
a failure. These are the two leading can
didates upon the Democratic ticket. That
such men are selected by that party is
evidence that its old associations have not
been severed nor its sympathies changed.
It used to resolve in favor of the rebellion
and now it nominates the men who made
the resolutions. It resolved until the
Southern Democrats went into the war,
while the Northern wing staid out. Since
the struggle closed, they are resolving and
nominating in the same old way. What
will they resolve to do if there should be
another war ? Not to fight, of course.
COME ON, SITTING BULL.
Since Democratic parsimony has en
couraged the Indians to commence a war,
let it go on. Let the red-skins take Wash
ington. If they could only get there
while some of the Democratic patriots are
lingering around, what a happy day it
would be for the country ! Hurry up,
Sitting Bull, there is a fine scalping ground
about the capitol. There is one top KNOTT
from Kentucky you can get hold of, and
you may be able to help us get rid of other
revolutionists. And if most of the Con
gresimen should be gone before you get
there, the investigating committee and
witnesses will remain. • You can scalp
Anderson, and Potter, and Ben Butler,
and can sell the fur off the top of Ben's
head or trade it for ammunition.
THE Potter committee has not found any
frauds because it has not looked in the
right quarters. A narrow minded par.
tisanship confined the investigation to
Florida and Louisiana. If it had been
extended to New York, Oregon and Mis
sissippi, the committee would have had
better success. Mr. Potter would be more
useful if, like Glover, he would unearth
the frauds in his own party.
THERE is perfect harmony in the Re•
publican ranks. We have won in former
years when influential members of the
party were dissatisfied and opposed our
tickets, bat with good feeling among the
leaders, as well as in the masses of the
party, as we have at present, success is
more certain than ever.
ANOTHER EFFORT FOR FREE TRADE,
Last week we gave the Democratic mem•
hers of Congress credit fir entire sincerity
in their action upon the Wood tariff bill,
believing that the eighteen who voted
against it were equally as honest as the
one hundred and thirteen wit, voted fur
it. But Mr. Wood him•iclf does not as
cribe to them as pure in ii i t'o3 as we did.
As he knows mire about Congressmen
generally and his fellow Democrats partic
ularly than we do, we of course defer to
his opinion. What he thinks of those in
his own party who opposed his bill is in
dicated in the following despatch from
Washington :
Fernando Wood has recovered fronihis dis
gust and chagrin, and now declares that he
will revive his free trade movement in Con
gress next winter and will succeed in effecting
its passage. Ile now comforts himself with
the fact that his failure this time was owing to
the approach of the elections and the fear the
Democrats who voted in the negative had of the
condemeation of their constituents. but ex
pects after the elections are over to carry it
as a party measure. That is, when there is
no danger of bringing popular censure upon
them, the Democrats will give it a solid vote.
We regarded the Democratic vote as suf
ficiently solid to show that that party is in
favor of free trade, but according to Mr.
Wood those Democrats who voted against
the bill did so solely as a matter of politi
cal expediency. After the elections are
over they will get back again into the
Democratic harness and pull in the direc
tion that Mr. Wood may guide them. The
passage of the bill is yet to be effected, and
before the expiration of the present Con
gress. It is not even to be postponed
until the new members to be elected in
November next can hare an opportunity to
act on it. As the Democrats are afraid to
do now what we are told they will do here
after, their conduct is false and cowardly,
and should receive the swift and over
whelming condemnation of the country.
They should be shown that they cannot
deceive the people, and in such an unmis
takable manner as to teach them respect
for the popular will. A defeat at the polls
of the kind they deserve may overawe even
the present Congress and prevent the pas
sage of the bill at the next session. Let
them have it.
PUNISH THE SCOUNDREL.
The Democrats in Congress, having
failed in their partisan and one sided in
vestigation, to connect President Hayes
with the alleged irregularities in Louisi
ana, or to prove his title fraudulent, now
say it cannot be attacked. Oh ! no, what
they can't do, they won't do. That is an
easy kind of virtue, which even better peo•
ple possess. They only desire to discover
crime and punish criminals. Well, haven't
they found out that Anderson is guilty of
violating nearly every penal law ? Isn't he
a proper subject upon which to visit the
vengeance of outraged justice ? Has he
not acknowledged the commission of fraud,
forgery and perjury ? Let them begin with
self confessed criminals, and we may then
believe they are sincere in professing to
desire the punishment of crime. They
have a summary way of disposing of color.
ed men down South who may be accused
of stepping from the path of uprightness.
We do not recomunnd that the same pro
cess be applied to Anderson, nor would
they be likely to do so. lie is not half as
bad in their eyes since he became a Dem
ocratic liar as when he was a Republican
But can't they try him according to the
forms of law ?
IT is reported that no more Democrats
are joining the Greenback party. They
are keeping suspiciously shy of it, but are
advising Republicans to join. The efforts
of their canvassers are especially directed
to the conversion of the latter. It mus t
be refreshing to hear a man who hasn' t
been two months out of the Democratic
party, if out at all, asking Republicans to
abandon theirs. It looks so disinterested.
Nobody could think that he had been put
at that particular kind of work. Oh, no !
WE would state as a matter of news that
Congress has adjourned. It is an event
over which the people should rejoice, and
if the 4th of July were not so near, we
would advise some public demonstration.
But perhaps we had better reserve our
flags and fire crackers fbr the National
holiday. Let it then be remembered, how
ever, with thanksgiving and exultation that
Congress has adjourned.
REPUBLICANS, if you should vote the
Greenback State ticket, would you have
any expectation of electing it ? 'We dare
say, you would not. Then who would be
benefitted and who injured ? Why, you
would really be helping the Democratic
party and, perhaps, defeating your own.—
That is just the purpose fur which the
Greenback party is kept alive in Hunting
don county. Will you allow yourselves to
be made use of?
EDITORIAL matter was crowded out of
our last two issues, and this week we give
place to a portion of it on our first page.
Interesting correspondence will also be
found in the same part of our paper.—

The Laboratory of the System.
The stomach is the laboratory, of the system
in which certain mysterious processes are
constantly going on. These result in the
.production of that wonderful vivifying agent
the blood, which in a state of health rushes
laden with the alements of vitality to the
remotest parts of the system. But when the
stomach is'semi•paralyzed by dyspepsia, blood
manufacture is carried on imperfectly, the
circulation grows thin and sluggish, and the
system suffers in consequenze. Moreover,
indigestion reacts upon the liver and bowels,
rendering the first sluggish and the latter
constipated. The brain also suffers by sym
pathy, and sick headaches, sleeplessness and
nervous symptoms are engendered. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters reforms this state of things,
gives permanent tone and regularity to the
stomach and its associate organs, the bowels
and liver, and ensures complete nourishment
and increased vigor of the system. It is the
most popular as well as the most efficient
anti-dyspeptic and tonic in America. [ju.7

Samuel McCulloch,

a good Magazine, filled with a general assortment

in our midst. The magazine is stored with every
variety of sporting powder, which is sold at same

Mr. McCulloch, solicits for the company the
patronage of all who desire a first-class powder,

KANSASLANDS ' '
We own and control the Railway lands of TREGO CO.,
KANSAS, about equally divided by the Kansas Pacific R.
R., which we are selling at an average of $3.25 per acre
on easy terms of payment. Alternate sections of Govern
ment lands can be taken as homesteads by actual settlers.
These lands lie in the Great Limestone Belt of Central
Kansas, the beet winter wheat producing district of the
United States, yielding fom 20 to 35 Bushels per acre.
The average yearly rainfall in this county is nearly 33
inches per annum, one-third greater than in the much-ex
tolled Arkansas Valley, which has a yearly rainfall of leas
than 23 inches per annum in the same longitude.
Stock-Raising and Wool-Growing are very remunerative.
The winters are short and mild. Stock will live all the
year on gram ! Living Streams and Springs are numerous.
Pure water in found in well. from 20 to 60 feet deep. The
Healthiest Climate its the Wortlf No fever and ague there.
No muddy or impassable roads. Plenty of flue building
tone, lime and sand. These lands are being rapidly set
tled by the best class of Northern and Eastern people, and
will so appreciate in value by the ituproveinents now be
ing made as to make their purchase at present prices one
of the very best investments that can be made, aside from
the profits to be derived from their cultivation. Members
of our firm reside in WA-KEENEY, and will show lands
at any time. A pamphlet, giving full information in re
gard to soil, climate, water supply, ac., will be sent free
on request. Address,
