burg Poll, we said : "Tho Post furnish

enough of other fellows on I he ticket
to fill the bill. Our mutual friends
" haro been making Presidents, Gov
ernors, United Slates Senators, State
Treasurers, etc.v for twenty years,
but tbe jhop baa been rather unsuc-
' ecssful thus far in bagging any ol the
" offices indicated :" of this urticle Sun
utor Wallace knew nothing until he
read it in our columns, and the squib
although truo, was in badinage and not
in inulico. In the rust ol November
11th, the editor alluded to our article
and misquoted us most horribly and
charirod that it was In malice toward
them, and in a virulelit article of a col
umn in length aitikced Senator Wal
laco. This was repeated in a subte
nuunt issue of that journal. In our
issue of the 20th of Novombor, we look
occasion to reply to theso malicious at
tacks upon tho Senator, and to prove
what we staled waa true. That article
was "slippod" from our columns and
sent to prominent Democrat! through
out tho Slate. That the statements
mado therein aro absolutely truo, are
known to every Democratic politician
in tho Commonwealth, hut in reply to
them Mr. James P. Barr & OXcary
(Limited) rushes into print over the
signature of the senior partner, with
vociterous denial and vile language,
And instead of replying to us he ad
dresses his effusion to Senator Wallace.
Ho takes especial care, too, to send his
issuo to ltadical newspaper men who
copy it eagerly, besides telegraphing it
everywhere. Naturally, theso Mudi
cal editors applaud Burr's attack upon
tho Senator and embellish their columns
with displayed head lines, so as to make
it look attractive, If not true, and in
this way aid the Burrs in their unjust
and unwarranted attack upon the Dem
oeratic Senator from Pennsylvania.
Our article ol the 20th ult , was in
tho nature of an nppeul to the Demo
cracy of tho Slate, and against the vin
dictivo charges of Barr, and to their
judgment of tho truth of its statements
wo submit it. We think that Mr. Burr
will not bo dignified by a reply from
Senator Walluco on this occasion, and
we are done with him too, only to sug
gest to hitn that it is very unkind for
the leading member ol a big firm to
disown the acts of his junior partners.

A CaLamitv. The Hon. Wester
Clymer, who was with ns lust fall and
personally known to many of our citi
zens ,hss recently lost a sister-in-law,
nephew and a niece. "The steamship
Pommerania of the Hamburg Amori
can Line, which left New York for
Hamburg on tho Mlh instant, was
sunk off Folkestone last -Monday night
by coming in collision with a Welsh
bark from Carnarvon. Of bor passen

saved, and fifty-eight were drowned or
are missing. Among the lost are Mrs.
W. B. Clymer a son and Miss Maria

Several other Americans wero lost
Out of one hundred and eleven ol tbe
crew only three are missing a fact
which attests that every man bad to
look out for himself.
Fencino Oct Thieves. In this ago

literally in broad daylight. From the

lNcoMriiEUEiisiBLi. There is a cor
tain class ol Democrats, who have seem
ingly shed "bar Is" of tears over the
castastrophe, and one would suppose
from their waitings that tbeir heart'
blood would all ootc ont in the shape
tears before tho holidays are over, bo
cause ol the defeat of Gov. Curtin, for
Congress. Yet, these samo fellows
havo never alluded lo lha defeat of Dill,
or any other portion of the ticket in
desparing manner. Why the sympa
thies of these men should all run out
after one of our nominees after the
election is what we cannot oompre
bend. Reader, ran you ?
A Outraor. An exchange soys
"The Commissioners of Huntingdon
county hsve agreed to purchase twen
ty-nine acres of land and donate it to
the St ate for use ol the now penitentiary.
By what right or by what law can
county Commissioners pnrchase land
with the people's tales and give it
away T Can they do this and give a
good titter If they can, then they can
buy tbe whole country and give it away.
Or, they can turn in and steal some of
their neighbor's horses, and give them
to their Inends. Then is just as mncb
law for tbe one act aa the other."
Con I no to the Front. The old Dis
union clement seems to be pressing to
lbs front again. An exchange perti
nontly remarks: "The 'Solid South'
and the 'Solid North' now have a per

VAGRAXTS TO THE REAR.
Time, llio u;rcut lt-velcr of ail thinirs,
- 'rt'irkttJ't w milr-h., '
wondetl'u I reform on the otbor side ofi
tho Potomac since 18115. The hulls of
the Senate and thu House were then
filled with cartH't-hagL'crs, negroes,
alii wags and rogues ol the lowest
typo. Jiow look at thosceno! Tsot
one scoundrel will hold a seal in either
House after the 4th of March next.
Tbe Philadelphia Timet, in u'lluding to
this M'eii), 6i f 'It must bo admitted
that tho solid South is sending some
very good men to the Senate as well
as to tho House in place of the carpet
bagging adventurers who havo so dis
graced the country. Governor George
S. Houston, whoso selection by tho
Democratic caucus ol tho Alubuma
Legislature insures his succession to
the seat, of Georgo h. Spencor, is the
latest illustration, l.iko his prospeo
live colleague, Senator Morgan, Gov
ernor Houston is a man ol tine Intel
loot, liberal education und conservative
tendencies, lie has bad, also, a long,
varied experience in public life, having
filled severul Stuto Stale offices and
serveil eight terms in the House oi
Hoprcscntativiw, lie was a-hlauuch
Union man up lo tho war of secession
and was early in tho renewal of bis ul
legiunce after the downfall of the Con
federacy. In 18C6 bo was a delegate
to the National Union Convention,
which met in this city, and has been
Governor ol Alabama ever since the
Stale passed out of tho hands ol the
Republicans iu 1874. It is now pret
ty certain that Hampton will bo nom
inated and be sent lo tho Senate in
placo of PatlerBon, and whatever ob
jection may be made to him on tho
score of politics, thero will bo few so
bold as to deny that this will bo an
other gain for decency and honesty in
tho hulls of national legislation.
Btxt DnziNQ Too I According to
Ben Builci''Blnry,lhcChrisiiun Sluies
men of Massachusetts are us expert in
bull-dozing as the"rebelsnf thoSoulh."
A Washington telegram says :
"A rumor has already reached here
that General Buller intends to deliver
a great speech on "bull dozing" durin,;
tho couiinir session. 1 ho lealuro nt II
will bo a comparative view ol "hull
lozing" North and Smith, which he
t-inlielishcs with copious illustrations
of actual bull dozing which ho claims
wus practised in Mussucliusetts during
tho recent campaign, asserted over and
over airain that litiimein, cspceiuiiN
mill operatives with families to support,
were "bull dnzeii by their employers
into voting the Republican tit In I, un
lor penalty ot being discharged II they
did not. He thinks this is a little
meaner than the shot gun method, and
will doubtless say so in Congress, as
he did on the stump. Mcanwbilu be
is quietly collecting evidence und ulll
davits in Massachusetts lo prove the
truth ol his assertion.
It would seem, according to this tele
gram, that tho offspring of Massachu
setts Emigrant Aid Society, all ol
course highly educated, and principally
white, are as easily bull dozed an the
ex ncif.ro slaves ol tho South. This in
terpretation of tacts may bo a little
rough on tho negro, but wo presume
tbo white fellow can stand it It the
darkey can.

Barr's attack on Mr. allace." Burr's
open letter is not published in tho Dem

Tbal'a about the view tbo Doctor's
neighbors took of his case at homo on
election day. Only 7 votes were cast
against him in New Washington, and
only 3 in Nuwburg, and in Durneido

Senator Dill received but 62. These
districts are right around Dr. Bennett's

"A Soi.iu South." This is the last
scarecrow thut the old Union balers
and the ordinary political trumps have
erected in our political vineyard, for
the purpose ot disturbing tho public
peace. Tho editor of the Charleston
Courier, in alluding to this Radicul
crusudo, that is being mado nn the
southern section of the Union by the
funaiicsol tho North, says: "Tho South
is ready lo bo judged by her actions.
Tho South is not willing to bo judged
by tbo fears of her friends, or tbo hopes
of her foes. Before llio next general
election snail lane place, inu aotuu ami
the Union will havo had Iwo years ex
perience of liie solid South. The events
ot these years will demonstrate, lis
lacls alone can, that thu solid South
means good order, ubsolutu Ireedom,
justice and respect lor tho rights ot
classes in tho South, und, so fur lis the
solid South can accomplish it, concord,
peace, honor and public and private
tuitli for llio whole Ametieun Union.
For tins tint people of South Carolina
strive and labor: but they ami the
people ol every other Southern Stuto
will find tbeir difficulties increased a
thousand fold by any conduct in thu
North that will warrant tho idea that
tho South is not wanted, und thut her
best efforts forthu highest purpose are
misjudged and even treated us crimes.
Such a conviction will make il ditllcull
"to ensure domestic tranquility" and
"secure the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity." The orgar
nation of a solid North against thu
solid South will he a long stride down
wards; for its sequences must be ag
gression in the beginning, and military
rule in tho end."
A Sockbolaoer. In discussing the
merits of the dispute between tho St.

Graphic us to which first named Grunt
for the nomination of 1380, tho Chi

that Grunt pardoned ll.e editor of tho

Melteo, the editor of tho Globe, was
a member of the St. Louis whisky-

the tillico-bolding portion ol it demand,
with very strong emphasis, thut he

wise, inexpedient and suggestive of
nothing but disuster, yet eighty thoits-

who have absolute control nf all the

work with determined energy and
singleness ol purpose to eft'oct their

a short and trim hiographicul sketch
ol'ihe Burrs Irom your paper, written,
I suppose, us a mutter oi news, by no.
In tins open letter ho fortunately siit
plies an omission in the biography
(which, I presume, decency induced
you to withhold) and gives the finish
ing touch o Ins true character as a
slanderer. Hereloloru be hid this pari
of his character from the public by en
trenching behind a lew luckcys, prom
inent among whom his sanctimonious
brother John is the most conspicuous
liy, ami thioiigh them, Jus. v. has been
euubled to grumble and growl and
snarl and abuse any person and every
thing that tlid not exactly comport
with Ins stupid und selfish Ideas. In
Ibis wholesale fault finding it would he
sirungo indeed if a piogresnivo Demo
crat and slHlesman liloi Senutor Wal
lace should escape his spleen. Mr. Wal
lace, ludoi tiinulely lor Burr, fully esti
malcd t lie character of Barr, und tlid
not lliiuk it worth while to pet and
fondle und pity pisir James enough lo
occasionally ask him to "luke some
thing," notwithstanding tho fellow, ac
cording to his open letter, seemed lo
he wanting something all Iho time.
Whatever may have been Wallace's
personal luelings towards Burr, I have
no nitft.tia tit' kiMiwinu, having never
heard him mention Ins name, Ion he cer
luinly knew that at no lime in llio po
litical history of this Slate was James
P. Burr ever thought ol or could be
tolerated as a candidate for Governor
by tho Democratic parly. Public opin
ion had never fallen so low as that no
mun at ull familiar with the public
sentiment outside ol thu Burrs, could
enturluin a possible hope of making
even a respectable canvass with such
a candidate. The writer happened to
be at Erie when James P. Barr, sup
ported by bis three brothers as wurmly
and as sincerely aslbey are cupubleol
supporting any person, were for Junius
lor Governor; but oulsido of theso his
candidacy was regarded as a good joko.
His houil-qourtura were in the "Ells
worlh House"; his room was kepi
mysteriously locko'l, and John and
Jumos and Dan moved in and nut, and
consulted ntid wondered if lightning
would ever strike somewhere. Bui
this is all thero was of it and all
that over came of it, excepting, per
haps, the open letter I know that
a general and deep-sealed conviction
of his want of nerve, his want of hon.
esty, and his want of ubility pervaded
every one Ihent, and no amount of el
lort, even had Sunuior Wallace, or any
number of persons chosen lo make it,
could effaco it. This was the honest
ly expressed opinion of ull persons,
wherever James P. Hare's name was
mentioned tor Govcrm r. Not only
was Ibis tho sentiment ul Erie. Il is
the same bent, and, as 1 am inlnrmed,
and verily believe, the same outspoken
sentiments aro uuiver-al at Ins own
homo. For tins Senator Walluco is not
to blunio, and thu Democracy of I'enn
sylvania will not condemn him bo
cause ho did not hearken to the pitying
whine i f this egotistical idiot and aid
iu sbai'icing a DeiiKHTatic ticket by
plating Julius P. Burr on it, and there
by invito not only suro defeat, but ub
solute contempt.
But he must not allow Burr In get
away linoer the plea ol personal griev
unci's. I hat is not "what s the mai
ler." His letter is intended lor an
other purpose, and has another mean
ing; il is the concoction ol other and
abler minds, and Burr i only the me
dium for oonveyiiig it lo thu public.
Uelimil nun Is a well iilanneu cousiura
ey, which has been hatching lor some
lime In this Sinle, In which such pure
patriots as vr. 1; MeOM, ot ivic, anil
Samuel J. Kit tnl u II. nf Philadelphia, are

this Statu for Samuel J. Tilden for

Democracy onto blindly clot ted, and
who had neither the honesty or cour
age to demand his seal lor fear nf in
juring tho stocks uf the mammoth, cor
Ktraiions a)nd capitalists of the coun
try, with whom he is leagued. This
is ull thero is in it. If Wallace would
turn his back on the people, belie the
record of bis entire life, and agree to
serve this hugo monoioly and voles
the people's money into the coffers and
clutches ol Jay Gould, Scott, et,
al., "open loiters" would only bo
written in praise nf his incorrupt
ibility by such honest and pure
minds as Ju. P. Burr. Or, if he would
agree to support Tilden for the nomi
nation lor President in 1 8H0, and there,
by "put money in his purse," he would
be all right with the C, P. and Barr's
personal grievances would be smolh-
ud by order ol his backers. 1 do not

reasons, and merely sngifoal to those

The Indian Bureau andtiie Armt
The Now York Herald stales the
case between Schura and Sheridan an
follows: "So far as the controversy
ponding between the War Department
and the Indian linruau involves a ques
tion of veracity between the agents of
I he bureau and olncers ot the army
there can bo no hesitation on the part
of tho people to accept tho statement
ol the latter as correct. Tbe loose
management ol the bureau for many
years, the acknowledged faults of the
system, the notorious corruptions of
the agencies, all tell against the civil
authorities and it will be nnivei sally
believed ihul General Sheridan's charg
es against tho management ot Ihu
ui;ohen.s iu tho Military Division of the
Missouri are fully justified by the facts.
The new scandul will revive lliotlesirti

inelil Gen. Sherman wisely says il

poiisilulity and care on tho army; but
ho adds thut either thu Indiun Bureau
must come lo Iho War Department or
the army must he turned over lo the
Interior Department to protect the In
dian Diircuu. This tells the whole
story. Tho Indiun Bureau, throunh
irresponsibility, corrupt ions and rascal
ilies of its agents drives tho Indians to

to lake charge ol tho Indians, it might

flew over tho flagstaff on Micgiti ridge
and lell, without bursting beyond. A

About 2 o'clock two forty-pounder
