CABLISLE, PA., Thnrfldny Morning, June 28,18G0, FOR GOVERNOR, HIESTER CLYMER, OF BERKS COUNTY. REMOCRATIC PIATFORM, 1. The States, whereof the people were lately in rebellion, are Integral parts of the Union, anti arc entitled lo representation in Congress, by men duly elected, who bear true faith to the Constitu tion and laws.and in order to vindicate the maxim that taxation without representation is tyranny, such rcprfcsentatlvcs should bo forthwith admit ted. 2. The faith of the Republic is pledged to the payment of the National debt, and Congress should pass all laws necessary for that purpose. 3. We owe obedience to the Constitution of the UnltedStatesCincluding the amendment prohibit ing slavery) and under its provisions will accord to those emancipated all their righis of person andproperty. / 4. Each State has the exclusive right to.rcgu latc the qualification of its own electors. 5. The white race alone is entitled to the control of the government of the Republic, and wo arc unwilling to grant to negroes the right to vote. 0, The bold enunciation of the principles of the Constitution and the policy of restoration con tained in the recent anual message and Freed men’s Bureau veto message of President John son entitles him to the coulldence and support of all who respect the Constitution and love their country. 7.. The nation owes to the brave men of our armies and navy a debt of lasting gratitude for their heroic services in defence of the Coustitu- Tion and the Union; and while we cherish with a tender affection, the memories of the fallen, we pledge to their widows and orphans the nation’s care and protection. 8. Wo urge upon Congress the duty of equaliz ing the bounties of our soldiers and sailors. Union, Restoration and Constitu timl liberty I THE CAUCASIAN! A Democratic Campaign Paper.

Notwithstanding the fierce manner in which the more reckless and abandoned portion of the radical journals have as sailed the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, they all, nevertheless, without a single exception, wo believe, admit and avow it as their belief, that “ Hiester Clymbr isari honest man.” When Low ry, the fanatical Senator from Erie, was informed that Mr. Clymer had received the nomination for Governor, he remark ed, “ well, the Democrats have one thing to boast of, and that is that their candi date is an honest man;, no one can deny that.” This to come from Lowry was saying a good deal. Ceymer, then, it is admitted on all hands is an hottest man, and Shakespeare tells us that““an hon est man is the noblest work of God.” Are not the people safe then, when they place the honor and welfare of the State in the keeping of a man of unbend ing integrity ? An honest man cannot be a bad or selfish man. •It was his charac ter for honesty that made old Francis R. Shunk the idol of the people. He was voted for wfien he ran for Governor by hundreds of men who did not endorse his political opinions, but they knew him to be a man of ability, firmness and hon esty, and they felt safe when the destiny of the State was committed to his hands. Hiester C-LYmer, like Francis R. Shdnk, will, in the eventof his election, bend his efforts to correct the abuses that have existed in this State too long. God knows itis time that Pennsylvania should have a second Skunk at the helm. The very atmosphere at the State Capital smells with corruption. Mammoth cor porations have, for many years, wielded a power over the Legislative and the Ex ecutive departmentsat once detrimental to the interests of the people at large, and damaging the name of Pennsylvania.— Men with money in their hands have with brazen audacity bought themselves into places of power by corrupting the representatives of the people. Bills have passed both Houses and become laws through the same potent agency, and it has become a bye-word at Harrisburg, that money and corruption are the only arguments that can command attention or secure success. Such being the admitted facts, is it not our duty as it is our privilege to correct these flagrant wrongs by electing an hon est man to 1111 the gubernatorial chair ? But it is not only his character for integ rity that makes Mr. Clv.mer a man of note. He is a sagacious, far-seeing states man and a ripe scholar, possessing rare ad mlnistrative abilities'. With him as our Governor, Pennsylvania will once more assume the proud position of former years, when men of honor and character held the helm that guided the ship of State. — Let the yeomanry of our State reflect over these self-evident truths, and, cast ing party and party hacks and plunder ing demagogues aside, vote for the man of ability, the man of integrity, Hiesteb C lamer, offcld Berks, , THE CAMPAIGN BEFORE US. Gradually the political campaign is as-, suming activity. Several counties have already before them their local tickets.— Never in the history of Pennsylvania did the two great political parties exhibit more adverse views than at present. They agree in nothing. This was not the case when the old Whig party was in exist ence—a party that boldly avowed its principles and fought its battles with col ors flying. How different now ! The old Democratic party—the party that made the country and shaped its destiny—un furls its banner as of yore, with its prin ciples and its sentiments emblazoned up on its ample folds. But who arc our op ponents, what their principles? A mis erable set of political hucksters, carrying in their arms a “sweet-scented nigger,” as the emblem of their principles. It is positively humiliating and disgraceful to see a once proud imd powerful national party reduced to this pitiful condition. Will the people of the old Keystone State remain listless and careless at a time like this? Will they permit Pennsylva nia to endorse the negro-equality dogma that shameless men arc attempting to engraft upon her Constitution ? We trow not. We cannot believe that this noble old State will over consent to .this degrada tion. if shu docs, thou a long farewell to her boasted independence and her once proud position. John W. Geary, the negro-equality candidate for Governor, endorses the most radical ideas of the most radical men of his pie-bald party. He has said, publicly, that he approves of the treasonable say ings and doings of that “ whelp of sin,” Tiiad. Stevens. Indeed, Geary is the creature, the tool of Stevens, Cameron, Forney, and other desperate political ad venturers. They nominated him; they own him. This of itself should warn the people to consider well before they cast their votes for Gen. Geary. Every fair and honorable man will admit that the political sharks in whose keeping Geary is now fourth, are not governed by prin ciple, or patriotism, or honor. They are known as trimmeVs, who are ever read}' to espouse the cause or the party that pays best. The Lincoln administration and' the war afforded these unfeeling aild un principled men ample opportunities to engage in their favorite pastime of fleoc ing tUo yvooplo iu tlio txccuio o£ “ loyally. n As long ago as 183 S, when Stevens at tempted revolution in this State, a ma jority of the people demanded that he be expelled from its soil or hanged. It won Id have been well had their just demand been complied with—well for our State and the nation at large. He is now at the head of the Radicals in the Rump Congress, and boldly and defiantly scoffs at the Constitution and announces negro equality and disunion as the leading arti cles of liis political creed. This is the man who, aided by Cameron and For ney, aro,to govern this State in the event of the election of John W. Geary ! Can it be possible that even a respectable por tion of our people are willing to sef?our once groat old Commonwealth thus dis graced and humiliated ? We trust not. We hope and believe that there is integ rity sufficient in Pennsylvania to head off tlie political freebooters who are at tempting to ride into power on the shoul ders of the negro. Let nil men, therefore, who fool a deep and abiding interest in the honor and prosperity of our State, set their faces like flint against the machina tions of her enemies, and swear in their hearts that the honor of Pennsylvania “ must and shall be preserved," cost what it may. .8 50 . „ I 50 8 00 . 10 50 . 15 00 . 25 00 Carlisle, Ptmn'a. SSBf" The Herald , if it has no other mer it, is really a very funny paper. Like the elephant in the china shop it breaks things indiscriminately with “ a perfect looseness.” A few weeks ago it spoke of the majority of the returned soldiers of this county as “ drafted men and de serters.” After making this sweeping charge, it took back its words, two weeks subsequent, and offered an apology to the soldiers for having slandered them.— Last week, however, it "fizzled out” again and repudiated its apology, and as sured the soldiers that it had “ no word to retract or explain.” The Herald , therefore, desires it to be understood that it stands by its first article—the article that denounced a majority of the soldiers of this county as " drafted men and deserters.” Very well—we understand our neighbor’s position at last. As to the intimation that the soldiers fired tlie Herald office, we feel satisfied our neighbor is mistaken. The returned soldiers are not the bad fellows the Her ald would have the people believe. We have always found them clever and mag nanimous—opposed to negro-voting and negro-equality, it is true, but not turbulent. The Herald can dismiss its fears—the soldiers will not molest it.— True, our office was sacked by so-called, soldiers a couple years ago, but then those follows were cowards, and ran like white heads the minute they saw a live rebel. They wore not soldiers but whelps wcar i ng soldiers'clothing. Thateiroumstance o (Forded a great deal of fun to certain "loy al” stay-at-home patriots of our town, but we hope we have too much veneration for law and order to rejoice over the des truction of our [neighbor's property by a band of cowardly miscreants. Soldiers Johnson Olurs.— All over Pennsylvania the Democraticand Conser vative soldiers, who fought for the preser vation of the Union, are organizing clubs to promote the restoration policy of Presi dent Johnson and the cause of the White man’s candidate for Governor. Those, who urged on this war for the freedom of the niggers and now labor, with Steveng, Geary, Forney and McClure to prevent the restoration of the Union and are or ganizing Negro Suffrage Geary clubs.— How infinitely more consistent are the former. They fought for the Union and are now going to vote for it. Let the true Union soldiers in this county go to work at once and organize clubs. Call meetings in every town ami wherever .you can to organize for the campaign.— Unless you put Geary and Stevens and the other disunionists down at the polls, your fighting will have been all in vain. They insult you by saying that you did„ not restore the Union, that the Southern States are out of the Union. Will you not resent the'insult? The Caucasian.—We trust all the Clubs of the Caucasian will be sent in at once. HOW THE GOES. In the U. S. Senate; a few days ago, Mr. Sherman arose in his place and sta ted that he had information from good authority that the appropriation of twelve millions of dollars, recently voted to the Freodmen’s Bureau, would not be suffi cient-to pay the expenses of that interest ing institution for the current year. He moved, therefore, that an additional ap propriation of six millions five hundred thousand dollars be added to the former appropriation. This motion was agreed to at once and without debate! This makes eighteen millions five hundred thousand dollars appropriated to the sup port of the “pot lambs” for one year. — This, too, is separate and above the thou sands of acfctyjf valuable lands voted to the negroes some time ago. The extravagance of the present Rump Congress exceeds anything ever known in, the history of any country. Delega tions of negroes can be seen at all hours of the day hovering about the two Houses, and their business is to solicit enormous appropriations for themselves and to de mand “equality and the ballot.” That their influence with the radicals is un bounded, is attested by the wonderful success they have met with. Their im pudent and extravagant demands are ac ooedod to with a promptness that surpri ses even the negroes themselves. When wo consider that the people of this country are groaning under a taxa tion atonee oppressive and almost beyond endurance —a taxation that impoverishes every man except the “loyal thieves” who made their millions by permission of Lincoln—when we consider those facts, , we say,.is it not time for the people to stop short and ask themselves the ques tion—“ how long can wo bear up under the extravagance that now exists ?” No people, wo care not what their resources may be, can tolerate this state of affairs many years. The present Rump Con gress votes away daily hundreds of thou sands of dollars of the people’s money, with an impunity that is positively fright ful. It is time for the people to open their eyes to the doings of the majority in Con gress, for wo tell them that if'this extra vagance is persisted in a few years longer our Government will break to pieces and go out of existence. Let the people be warned before it is too late. Old Tlmtl. on Mexico* Thaddeus Stevens introduced the fol lowing resolution into Congress on Sat urday : Resolved, That the Committee on Foreign Af fairs be Instructed to Inquire as to the propriety ofloanlngto the Republic of'Mexico, on proper security, $20,000,000, to enable the said'Republic to prevent the overthrow of its Government and the establishment of a monarclUal government on the Continent of America. Mr.- Stevens argued that as #e were now at peace with the South, it was our duty to assist the republicans of Mexico in dri ving Maxanailian out of the country. We could do so by loaning them twenty mil lions to sustain their army and if such ac tion provoked a war with Mexico, no one would be seriously alarmed. The old Monroe doctrine should undoubtedly be sustained, but have we twenty millions to throw away on Mexico? And if all accounts are correct, there is no Repub lic in Mexico. The only government in the country is that of Maximilian. It looks very much as if the Radicals in Congress felt the necessity of identifying themselves with some popular movement to strengthen the failing fabric of their faction. A war with Napoleon would perhaps be considered one of those “ for tunate chances” by which the existence of their party could be prolonged. A Home Thrust.—Wo heard one of these defunot patriots who biowedso hard during the war, make a terrible onslaught on old Andy. He declared that Andrew Johnson was a disgrace to the country, and that he ought to be impeached. " And who are you?” saidasoldior stand ing by. " Who am I?” why lam a loyal man, and I do not believe in anything that the Copperheads endorse.” * “ Did you fight in this war?” " No,” whimper ed the old reprobate. “ I did not go be cause I could not leave my business, but I loaned my money to the Government.” “Yes, we know you did,” said the sol dier: “ We understand you now. You are one of those loyal men who hissed on the dogs of war but were particular not to go yourself. You shouted treason to every one who did not agree witii you ; urged poor men to go and leave their families ; you got exempted from the draft and when the government went begging for money you gave yours—and charged usury interest, you did, you mis erable old hypocrite ! Don’t you talk to me about Johnson. Clear”—and old 7-30 exemption wont kiting down the street as if he saw a rebel raid in the distance. The fact is, the people are finding out the bottom of the loyalty of those men. It don’t suit them. Usury, bonds and exemption are at the bottom of the whole thing. Expensive Luxury.— Even the Radi cals are coming to the conclusion that the negro is an expensive luxury. The Now York Tribune says the taxes in this coun try are heavier than are or ever- were borne by any other thirty millions of peo ple. Including National,Stateand Muni cipal taxes, they amount to full $2O a year for each man, woman and child—enough to bankrupt the most prosperous people. Five years ago they did not amount to one-tenth of that sura. And this has all been incurred for the benefit ofthenegro. Taking all this into account, with the en ormous expenditure of -life and treasure made for his benefit, thinking people must conclude that we have done and sacrificed quite as much for the negro as justice or humanity requires. It is time now to do something for the white man. He has been victimized too much for the benefit of the negro and Radical Govern ment swindlers. No Expression op the People Al lowed.—Gov. Curtin has written a letter to all tile Governors requesting them to immediately convene the Legislatures of their States, in order to pass the recon struction amendment of the Bump Con gress. They are determined that through it negro suffrage shall be forced upon the people of Pennsylvania and all the other States without an opportunity being giv en to the people to express their opinion on it. Thus the enemies of the people and the Constitution are depriving the people of their rights. The chains of Despotism are being fastened on us, an/i all liberty soon will have fled from our borders forever. Negroes will bo voters in spite of our organic law in Pennsyl vania before, a year runs around, [For the Volunteer, OUR NEXT GOVERNOR. Tlio Radicals of this State take occasion to in form the Democracy that Andrew Johnson, Wm. H. Seward and Edgar Cowan, are the acknowl edged leaders of the Democratic organization.— That these men have deserted the party that elected them and gone over into the ranks of the oppposltlon and become t he leaders of that party. Every Intelligent citizen, of the United States knows that this is false. Those men stand upon the same platform that they did when elected, and the Republican party left thorn. The De mocracy have no chiefs, rulers, or political trick sters, whom they recognize as leaders of their parly organization. In our national affairs wo have a Constitution, which we recognize as our political chart. We elect men to positions of re • sponsiblllty whom wo expect to carry out the mandates of that instrument. It is necessary that every form of Government, be it Republican, ‘Monarchical, or Despotic, should have executive olltcors to see that the laws are vindicated; but being servants of the people, does uotmake them their leaders. ~ x ~ While Abraham Lincoln was President, the Republicans said it was treason to oppose the Ad ministration, ami persisted in saylug that the Administration was the Government. Ihey styled every man who opposed Mr. Lincoln, a “ Copperhead”! Upon the same principle of common senso, what would they cull those who oppose the Administration of Andrew Johnson ? They Incarcerated Democrats In dungeons for opposing the fanatical schemes of the Radicals, but the men who have hold of the helm of State at present will teach them (the Radicals.) that they will treat them as citizens of the United States, and not as the Hindoo or Hottentot would treat his enemy. The Administration will not tear down their printing presses, or hurry them away from their peaceful homes to bo tried by a “drum-head court martial,” or perhaps to re main in prison for weeks and months without a trial, anti then sent home, without over knowing what they wore arrested for. As regards the gentlemen referred to being the leaders of the Democracy, every man who Is ac quainted with the politics of the day, knows that thov are not UleutlllGd with any party bub the i/rraf. Union Colist Rational party ol the country. Did the Democrats nominate Andrew Johnson in the Baltimore Convention in 1801? Was Win. H. Seward appointed Secretary, of State by a Democratic Administration? or were Senators Cowan, Doolittle, Johnson or Nort m, elected by Democratic Legislatures? Wo do not protend to say that these bravo and good men belong to our party, but by their patriotism in daring to de fend our Constitution from the attacks of such bad niL'ti as those who represent the Radical par ty in Congress, wo think it our duty, as good citi zens. to protect them and give them our hearty support. Our party Is truly a national one, pledged to no political demagogue, or military satrap. It stands upon the immutable principles ot justice, and any individual, be he Democrat or Republican, who discharges his duty iu a Constl tutlonal manner, will receive the most cordial support of the party. The Republican party elec ted President Johnson, and because he desires to administer the affairs of the nation, ns did his illustrious predecessors, they desert him and cluster around such political “ tricksters” asThad Stevens, hero of the Buckshot war, who defended his country and the interests of his own State by Jumping out of the back window of the Capitol at Harrisburg, for fear of losing his bend. They take counsel from Sumner of Massachusetts, and Wade of Ohio, men, who, from their advent in public life, have been “ tinkering at the Constitu tion” and endeavoring to destroy our Republican form of Government. The party in this State eulogize John W. Geary, by calling him a “ noble hearted patriot.” In what does hla patriotism consist, unless it he In his long beard, which he keeps well dyed ? Wo are anxious to know what arc his claims upon the people of Pennsylvania. I think the people of this State, have too much intelligence to make a “ military humbug” like Gen. Geary, her Chief Executive. Wo want men of intellect In our Legislative Halls. Wo want a statesman and a man of unimpeachable charac ter, and not a military or political adventurer, for our next governor. In Hlester Olymor wo find all these attributes combined to make the perfect man. Ho has been faithfully tried in our otaic LogisittiiiaTo. aiui wo have ovevy reason to know that his abllltlesave of the first order. The best evidence of how John W. Geary is apprecia ted, Is by what the soldiers say, who fought un der him in Mexico and in the late war. Ask the veterans of Fayette county, whether he Is a “noble-hearted patriot” or not? It would bo a disgrace to our proud old Commonwealth to have her laws administered for three years, by a man like would-be General John W. Geary. The Dislramhisomciit “ Acts” Go Under— l>cciNion of the diiprcmc Convt. 'Die Supremo Court of Pennsylvania, now sitting at Wilkesbarre, yesterday (the 20th), decided, by a majority, against the act of Congress of March 3, 1864 which act was intended to disfranchise deserters from the military service and non-reporting drafted men. This decis ion also operates against the State dis franchisement act, lately signed by Gov. Curtin, and both acts fall together. We understand that Chief Justice Woodward and Justices Thompson and Strong ren dered the decision against the act, while Justices Read and Agnew dissented. ■ This, then, settles the loug vexed ques tion, and establishes the fact that Penn sylvania’s citizens cannot be deprived of their political rights without trial and conviction for heinous crimes. The un oonstitutionality of both the act of Con gress ihul of the Legislature appeared to • be so clearly apparent from both a consti tutional and common' law stand point, that it cannot possibly be comprehended how any judge of an ordinary court, much less two justices upon the Supreme Bench, could fora moment hesitate about their condemnation. Both the Federal Constitution and our State Constitution declare emphatically and undlsguisedly that “ No ex post facto law shall be pass ed.” The act of Congress of March 3, 18Gt, and the act of the Legislature sign ed June, 1866, were both ex post facto, in asmuch as they were retrospective, and undertook to punish for crimes previous ly committed. Again; no provision was made in either act for the trial of accused persons previous to the infliction of the penalties; and hence in that they were in conflict with both Constitutions, which are perfectly clear in demanding that a lair and impartial trial and conviction of crime shall precede the infliction of pun ishment or penalties. Perhaps the two justices, who were elected to the Supreme Bench more par ticularly because of their warmth of par tisan views, may, satisfactorily to their friends bo able to wriggle around the Constitutions, or, like Thad. Stevens take the ground that the war had for the tirae-bein<r abrogated those instruments, 1 tlle legM talent of the country and the common sense of the people must over be against them. * Wo«lo not tfclievd that either political party would have been much affected in I!! 1 ! 0 !, 0 v °tes by those acts; certainly not to the extent of twenty or thirty thou sand votes, as stated by Disunion organs. We do not believe that the acts would nave affected a thousand ballots. With w,f o i DL ‘ raoei ' :| f;y, however, the question was not one of votes, but of principle. If n.™?, 1 ?? m i an ' vas tllus to have been nn lawfully deprived ol his political rights as a Citizen of Pennsylvania, it was our dutj as a party of principle, as a party governed by Constitutional law, to for fend the contemplated wrong. Let the number of citizens who were to have been deprived of their political rights " ’‘bout trial—upon the mere clerical rec ord ofa partisan provost marshal’s clerk bo great or small, the importance of the decision of the Supreme Court is of none the less consequence, and the thanks of every right-minded, unbiased, and law abiding man should be tendered to Jus tices Woodward, Thompson and Strong, nnlu^ hey‘Ure-eminently deserving of that noble titie—Defenders of the Constitution. —Patriot and Union. #S?“ In all parts of the State the soldiers are repudiating the Eartrauft Conven tion. At a recent meeting of the “Sol diers’ Cluh” of Jliffiintown and Patter son, Juniata county, It was resolved that “we do not recognize the Pittsburgh Convention as speaking the sentiments of the majority of the soldiers of Penn sylvania, and we do most emphatically repudiate their proceedings.” The sol- of Schuylkill county also hold a me6ting o on the Uth inst., and protested against the idea that the resolutions of tlie Eartrauft Convention embody the sentiments of the soldiers of Pennsylva nia. The real “ Boys in Blue” are in fa vor of the Union and opposed to Sevens Sumner, and the Radical party, who are preventing a return of harmony, concord and prosperity to the nation; and this will he testified, when the genuine Sol diers’ Convention meets, which will tie some time in the coming month.

[fraw the True Democrat, June 20. J Oar quiet community was startled on Monday evening lost, by the report that a whole family, consisting of a father, mother and little grand daughter, had been brutally murdered in War rington Township, York County, about fifteen miles from this Borough, and a short distance from Hossvllle. At first the re*port could scarce ly be credited, but as the prools began to thick en, and persons from the scene ,of the tragedy came to town to take stops for the speedy arrest of the fiends who committed the murder, all doubts were removed and our citizens were over wneimod with 'horror and indignation, that a deed almost unparalleled in the history of crime, should have been perpetrated In our midst. George Squibb, a respectable and Inolfensive old man ol Quaker descent, was living with'his wife and grand daughter, on a small,farm situa ted in a quiet and secluded spot, at the foot of Dave’s Hill, In Warrington Township. He had owned It for many years, and by strict economy and industry had succeeded in accumulating a small sum of money which ho kept in the house, and was in the habit of loaning out to his friends and neighbors as their necessities required. Ho was 71 years old at the time of his assassination, and his wife, who Is still living, was aged sixty seven. The little grand-daughter was between eleven and twelve. On the evening of Sunday the 17th Inst., as appearances indicated, about the time they were preparing to retire-to bed. the murderer or murderers entered his humble dwel ling, and commenced their bloody work. The house is situated about one hundred and fifty yards from a public road, leading from the Lis burn road to the road going to Lewlsbury, ami is distant from the nearest dwelling about fivtKor six hundred yards. It is an old, delapldatcd building, constructed of rough logs, is but one story high, and no one who was not acquainted with the character -and habits of Its Inmates, would have thought for a moment that they wore lu the possession of any moneys whatever. It would bo the last placet© which astranger would have resorted fjr robbery or gain. It has but two rooms on the ground floor, the one used ns a kitchen and sitting room, and-the other os abed oiuunber. It was therefore, pretty strongly sus pected that some one ,residing in the neighbor hood, and who was acquainted with the family was connected with the dark crime. It is stated that two suspicious looking strangers wore seen in the neighborhood on Sunday,lmt while the investigations wore going on, a man by the name of William Donavan, familiarly known as Irish Bill, who resides about a mile from the house where the murder was committed, was arrested and brought before the Coroner’s Jury, and sub jected to a close and telling examination. The evidence against him, although of a circumstan tial character, was nevertheless sufficiently strong to authorize the Jury In committing him for trial at the August term of the Court. It seems that Donavan, about five years ago, in a wanton and cruel manner, boat one of Mr. Squibb’s cows so that it died, and Squibb brought suit against him to recover the price of the ani mal. It was decided in Ills favoij and when Don ovan was obliged to pay the money, he made threats that he would have revenge on Squibb If it were twenty years afterwards. Donovan is on ill tempered, desperate character, and Is the ter ror of the neighborhood, particularly when under the influence of liquor, which is often the case.— Ostensibly, at least, ho .is the owner of a small property on the north side of Dare’s Hill, and it is said that so vernl executions are pending against him which ho is unable to satisfy. Ho knew that the Squlbbs had money In the house, and proba bly availed himself of the opportunity to gratify his re venge and supply himself with the money to settle his liabilities at the same time. The wounds upon the heads of the victims aro ail on the right side, showing pretty conclusively that they were Inflicted by a loft handed person, and Donovan Is a left handed man. Durtogr the course of the investigation before the Coroner’s jury, the following method of ex aminlng Mrs. Squlbbs was adopted. She was un able froin.extremo weakness and prostration, to speak intelligibly, t>ut was perfectly conscious and rational, and knew all her friends and ac quaintances when they approached her bedside. One of the Jurymen took her by the hand and re quested her, when he named the person who in jured her and murdered her husband and grand daughter, to signify the fact by a pressure of his hand. Several names were mentioned to her be fore .Donovan, but when the name of'William D PR°X an was pronounced, she pressed the hand of the Juror, and thus signified that he was the man. She was Interrogated in the same way, as IZ iJ? n! *2 lb i e « r of R ersons engaged In the outrage, aud slgnlfled by the pressures of the hand tlmi H™’,?i«V GrG two. Donovan, we are told, was at Hftiilsburg on the Saturday preceding the mur der, and returned home in companywith anoth er man, who remained in his house over night, and probably was one of the suspicious looking W A IO wore seen In the neighborhood of Squibb s house on Sunday, A man answering his description was seen to pass through Welcels town early on Monday morning, bat he has hof yot.been arrested, nor have the police at present any clue whatever to’his whereabouts. He is a rough customer, desperate looking, and a lit ac complice for such bloody work. The murder was only discovered on Monday morning, about ten o’clock, and the victims of the brutal outrage, both the living and the dead must have laid where they were found, during the whole of Sunday night, up to the hour moa tloued. George Shelbaker, a grand-son of:Mr. Squibb, came to the house about ten o’clock to borrow an auger, and was the llrst person who knew any thing of the deed after the murderers had Hod. Jlio alarm was immediately given, • and the neighbors collected from far and near to witness the awful spectacle and to devise some, means of bringing the guilty parties to Justice. — George Squibb was found lying face downward, upon the porch, with a pool of coagulated blood around him. and his features covered beyond re cognition with- the same. He was insensible but not dead. He lived until half past twelve olclock onMonday night. There were fourteen wounds on the right side of his head, thirteen of which had penetrated to the brain, and of course he re ranlned perfectly unconscious to the time of his death. The little granddaughter was lying dead In the kitchen, with the back part of her head crushed in; showing that the. Head who robbed her of her innocent life, must have ac complished his purpose by using a heavy ham mer or some similar instrument. Close heside tlic corpse of the child, Mrs. Mary SQUibb was lying in a state of insensibility and covered with blood. She had three wounds on the right side of the head, one of which produced a slight frac ture of the skull. Although at the present writ ing very feeble and greatly prostrated by the tpnible shock her nervous system lias sustained, there are slight hopes of her recovery entertain ed by her attending physician, Dr. bhouid she survive, she unquestionably will be able to identify the persons who committed the murder, or should she ever be so far restored as w bo able to state what might be received as her flying testimony, It will either tend to convict the party now accused, or relieve him entirely him 1 tl>o lnfaraous crlme which is charged upon Ihe amount of money , carried away by the murderers cannot be ascertained. It is supposed however, to bo sqme throe or fqur hundred dol-. Jars. About the same amount was left In one of the bureau draworAuntouched having escaped the search of the plunderers. There was nothing: lea or found on the premises, to Indicate what land of. an instrument had been'used by the as sassin, but it would seem- from the appearance of the wounds that they were inflicted with a blunt piece of wood or iron. The awful deed has thrown a gloom over this community, and the surviving relatives of the murdered family are receiving the warmest and most heartfelt expres sions of sympathy. It Is a long time since a was comraited in the County of York. indeed, but few crimes of an atroclous'charac ter are perpetrated hero, and hence It is that this terrible and fiendish act has excited more than the usual feelings among our citizens. On Tues day evening, crowds collected on the corners of the streets, and in Centre Square, anxiously talk lug oyer the sad affair, and anticipating the arri fchG. accused Donovan, who stands charged with haying stained his hands and his soul with thebioodof this pcacefuland unoffending family When the carriage arrived with the prisoner ab.out ten o clock atnight, the parties having him in custody, we believe, took him into the Glnder House, and afterwards conveyed him in a private T?i U vn?i«M n lf tllG c !i arg s of tlie Sheriff at tEe jail.
