The Chairman of the "loyal" County
Committee, while in Philadelphia last
week, bunting funds with which to
corrupt the voters of this couoty if
possible, took special occasion to slan
der his neighbors, who arcs, thousand
fold his superior, socially, morally and
olhcrwibe. Tho Age, in reforing to
this social affliction in our midst, says:
One Hwoope, a "mouthy man," ridiculed the
poor white men uf tho city At lliv lU'lictil meeting
mi tfnfr jmf nmirtrririr parrv;v"l iW'reWrWMffftM
and aturre white men. M ill the workinirnien of

cal ticket at the coming election ? Are the intelli
gent mechanics nod workinglncn of thii city wil
ling to be elaased witb the arjrmeiAttd abandoned
oiitraete of "llodfurj at reel and the Five Point F"
Tim waa-the point made by Hwoone and apnlaud-
ed by the
naai
icala.
The Radical are like old women, who, failing
to anawcr the argument! of tlicir adversaries, take
to calling hard nsmee. At the reor-nt flute down
town, Forney introduced one "Butcher" Hwooita,
whoae B'nck in trade was abuae of ex-Governor
Iliglor and Senator Wallace. Thii man Ewooi
ii lit for the buaincaa Forney has hired biro for, if
we may iioliere tin biatory a given in the Jlunt
iiipdon Jonifor, a ncwppajier published in hie na
tive town. We will probable lay before onr read
ers the life and reanvenee dmp of thtl Radical
apouter, if he continuef hip abnue of better men.
It is very remarkable that the ex-clei-g3-man
can seldom make a speech
without villifying Messrs. 15 Iglcr and
Wallace, who, we can assure him,
never refer to him or give him the
least attention whatever. The "coffee
colorod naturalization papers" also
trouble Mr. Swoopo ''muchly." The
records in tho Prothonotary's office in
thip place and at Huntingdon, show
conclusively how well lie ie adapted
to the perpetration of legal and moral
fraud ; and the yelp he seta np, and
the Blunders ho retails about his neigh
bors, are for the purpose of covering
his own rrimoa. i m ' i

The pcoplo in the 17th Congres
sional district, (composed of the coun
ties of Cambria, Eluir, Huntingdon
and Mifflin,) are waging vigorous
campaign. Tho Democrats have, with
great unanimity, presented Col. John
P. Linton as tlicir candidate. Mr.
Linton was the Democratic nominee
for Surveyor General throe year ago,
and has since served two years in the
Lpgilalore from Cambria county.
Ho is a greot fiivorite with "the boys
in blue," and will no doubt bo elected
over D. J. Morrcll, the present "loyal"
member, who during thr wnr remain
ed nt home, playing tho coward and
r-m-uk, and who, riineo he has been in
tliu Ku nip, has given nil his time and
talents to tho nigger, and bellowed
"tariff:-' "tariffl" "tariffl" until he
ban become lioarso. His record would
ewn as though there were but two
things worthy the attcntiou of this
ftluy-al-home Wide-a-wako JJepresent
aiivo nigger and iroii-tuongcra. The
election of Col. Linton will give the
wlitLe people of that district a Repre
sentative, and secure to the 1'nion and
President Seymour a warm friend and
an able defender.

The Kadicals reproduce the "tale

nore ibe grave questions of tbproa

make it an excuse for their corrup
tion, their extravagance and their
misrule.
They Imagine that you have alept
during threo years of their iniquitous
mifgovernment, and that you will
forget that taxation oppresses yon,
that your commerce languishes, and
that your burliness is broken up.
They have proven themselves pow
erful to destroy and powerless to re
store. :
Their only policy is bate, and upon
this they ask a new loaee of power,
forgetful that a thinking and practical
people require tbom to answer : ; . i
Why ia the national debt greater
now than when Lee surrendered, and
why does it still increase ? .
What has become of the fiftcon

Why are more than one hundred
millions of dollars annually wasted on
the unreconstructed South, and why
is it not made to yield ns as much to

cry of fire was raised, and promptly
responded to by firemen ana ritirons.
Owing, however, to the want of water,
the flames rapidly f-pread from one
structure to another, until no less than
six barns and the Mulberry street
M. E. Church became food fur the de
vouring element.
Tho hams were mostly filled with
a t ,,ii t"T8in, inrninn;rntraiiTiatr
loss beyond the frame work. Mr.
Barrett lost a horse. The church
mignl have been saved it a proper
supply of water could have reached it ;
as it was, liowcver, tbe gallant fire
men could only witness iu destruction.
From window lo roof, from roof to
steeple, it spread with fxightfil speed,
enveloping , me liouio ediuce in a
bright sheet, which gave light far and
near. The bell tolled a solemn funeral
chant, until the heat drove tho men
from tbo lopo. It was a grand and
imposiug sight, Causing one almost to
forget the ssd results it cost.
The upholstery, chairs, etc , were
all saved by interested friends, and a
sympathizing community. The cost
of" tbe church was upwards of f 20,000,
and the Ions, including the .inconve
nience, is all of thatamount, Tbe sta
bles belonged to Ex-Governor Packer,
Mr. Barrett, Mr. Schneider, George
Rothrick, J. J. Aire and Mr. Wciscl.
We would judge that the loss in
each barn would average f 1,000. They
were all of wooden make. This was,
undoubtedly, the work of an incen
diary. The insurance upon the church
is f!l,000; the other buildings were
partly insured. We can safely place
the loss at $25,000. Lycoming Ga
