List oi Letters, Legal Notices, Ac., The evil fruit of President Johnson's ! speech at Washington is already ex ! bibiting itself in the conduct of rebel j sympathizers. Thus, Davis of Ken I tueky, a man little better than bis j namesake, suggested in the Senate the j other day that the supporters of the President, of course including Cowan, Doolittle, &c., with himself and brother i copperheads, should unite with the | traitors elected in the Southern States, : form a Senate, and that the President j should recognize them as the Senate Cowan, on the other hand, has found | a salve for healing all difficulties by j proposing to try those rebels who may present themselves, and if acquitted to admit them. Where they are to be tried for treason, or by whom, he does not inform us. Others also talk, but everything shows that these men have put themselves to sea without chart or rudder, and know not where tliey will or can land. The truth is, thero should be but one opinion us to rebels, and that is they ought to have neither lot nor part in the work of reconstruction," and ought not to be almitted to office or into the national councils until eve ry opportunity for doing future wrong i> destroyed. Once admitted, there is no longer any power over them, for the rebel State is then the equal of the I nion State—and the late, perhaps now, rebel people of the former, rep resenting as they will, politically four millions of emancipated slaves, will exercise a power at the polls equal to that number of tchite freemen at the North. This is a truth northern men may well ponder over before they advo cate such folly, for it would in our opinion be most unwise, if not suicidal. Matters however are assuming a bet ter aspect at Washington, and the President is said to be by no means pleased with the construction put upon his speech by the copperheads, as a well authenticated report isabroad that a Clymer committee last week left the White House with fleas in their ears. New Hampshire Election. . The election for Governor took place in New Hampshire, on Monday a week, and resulted in another triumph for the flag of the Union. Smyth, Republi can, will have a majority of five or six thousand in the popular vote—a large majority of the Senators, and one hun dred majority in the House. The Re publicans have elected their ticket in seven of the ten counties. The ag gregate vote in the State will amount to 08,000, the larget ever cast except that of 1800. NEW MUSIC. —We have received from Horace Waters, Publisher, 481 Broad way, New York, three pieces of new sheet music, all by Mrs. Parkhurst, viz: The Patter of the Rain, as sung by Hooley's Minstrels; Happy Golden Days, a song and chorus; and, Don't Marry a Man if he Drinks, a song and chorus well adapted to the present day. Price 30 cents, sent postpaid. Address as above. Last night we had the first lightning aad i bunder of the season* Jared Sparks, the historian, died on Wednesday last at his residence in Cam bride. He was once president ol Har vard College. Wm. Bengham had a leg broken and was otherwise injured by being caught in the tackling of a steam saw-mill near Ebensburg on Friday a week. Two negro children were sold at Staunton, Ya., on the 9th ot April, 1805, for 5000 cabbage plants. 1 his was the last sale of the 'peculiar institution* in the valley of Virginia. The United States consul at Bir mingham, England, has forwarded to General Howard three hundred dol lars in gold, to he used for the benefit of the freedmen. A young girl named Alice Anderson, employed in the woolen factory at .Johnstown, had the flesh torn from one of her hands and arm a few days ago, by being caught in a carding ma chine. Charles Robinson, arrested in con nection with John Gore for the killing of policeman Holmes, in Johnstown, several months ago, was last week tried and acquitted. One of our cotemporaries did not is sue a paper the other week, because he had too many bills to print. We last week issued our paper at the usu al time, and from Monday morning to Saturday night finished 'IA jobs, from half sheet bills down to cards. Jacob Blacklock, who recently in duced a young girl to elope with him from Johnstown, and whom he marri ed in Harrisburg, was convicted in the same Court last week of bigamy, and was also found guilty ol breaking in to a barber shop in Johnstown, on the 34th December last. The Cambria Company's rail mill at Johnstown has been forced to suspend operations for the present owing to a strike among the "heaters," occasion ed by the discharge of one of their number; as the}' express their deter mination to hold out so long as the discharged man remains unemploj'ed. As a freight train on the Pennsylva nia Railroad was going west, and when about one mile oast of Hillside Station. Westmorland county, a brakesman by the name of James Wilson, who was running on the decks of the cars, miss ed his footing, and falling to the track was instantly killed by the cars pass ing over him. A man employed on the Tyrone and Clearfield railroad, was killed on Sun day last, about a mile beyond Osceola He was working on the track, and ob serving an approaching train, stepped aside, but having left some tools on the track, he attempted to remove them, when the engine coming in full speed struck him on the head and dash ed his brains out. A drunken man in Johnstown nam ed Steam, by some means lastened his neck in a hoop skirt hanging upon a fence on Saturday evening last, and but lor the interference of policeman McDole, who discovered him, would doubtless have strangled himself to death. m The fool probably thought there was a woman in it. Seventy-five (Quakers arrived in Washington last week from Randolph county, North Carolina, en route to settle in Indiana. They state that they were compelled to leave their old quar ters on account of the continued per secution of them by the inhabitants of North Carolina. One hundred and fif ty more are to start in a few days. For several years past persons do ing business in a store room in Johns town owned by John Ilorniek, who with his family occupied the upper story of the building, have from time to time missed money from their tills and goods from their shelves, but not until Sunday last was the mystery solved by the discovery of Ilorniek making his way through a neatly con structed trap-door opening from the cellar into the store, and hidden be neath the counter. Ilorniek and his wife and an adopted daughter were ta ken into custody and sent to Ebens burg to await trial for grand larceny. HOOK NOIICKS. GODEY"| LADY'S BOOK for March. A Sprint number.

GEN. ROSS TO DR. ROTHKOCK. For the Gazette. MCVRVTOWX. March 13. 1866. DR. A. RWHROCK—Sir: In your last communication. ■igMd "Justice," you have admitted one -error." viz: that George Kime was charged but $65 while Henrv Stackpole its- charged SUK> a year for crossing tl'- Mattawana Bridge. lam glad y'-u have been forced to the utterance of one truth. This sh .v< you not ut- ; terly devoid of i;. when the fear of Just:ce"is suggest ed as a motive to .-peak it. In your- communication over your own signature, you charge the • IM'.S and Rosses with having themselves e'ecte i Bridge lirc tors year after year .n regular su -sum This i* as false as the original statement wh>. h von hare cor rected above, and the following will show it: On the 3oth of last December an election was held. aHd Charles Bratton wi- elected President by a uuani mous vote, nearly all the stock having been voted. 1 he next thing you cnarge us with is making unjust discrimination in favor of Democrats, and iconcsf Re publican*. and you ins-an-e the ••w of • I suae Walls." who is. by tin- way.a Itepubhrrtn and /n'-,ri'r. In replv tu tins 1 would s:iy ih.u : is a standing rule with the company to give the Bridge to laborers bv the mouth when they apply. Our eompany ha* a sti.tding ru!&, that any person can obtain the bridge by the year, provided they apply within tie .ir.-t six months after the tolls are asses-ed. Mr.Sta- a pole, as w -11 as many Democrats, did ur-t come w uhtn thi-rule; forinstatu-e D. \ . Alii, of Cumberland county, (Democrat.< who hauled several hundred tins of iron over the bridge, paying by the trip, he having made application for the bridge by the year long before Mr. Suti-kpole did. and was refused, which item vou did not see fit to bring to the notice o! the public. At the oommennprr.em of this difficulty, the under- : signed called on Henry Stack pole, and stated t . him that there wa only t.v mouths to run t;.i a now a-- sessm-nt of toll* would be made, and appealed to j htm to go on and pay his toll for that ttme and not i raise any disturlianee in the bridge board, for we had always b-en harmonious: that if he did so we would give him a drawback on the next assessment oft.,lls, or it he Stackpole would buy the omnibus of Kline, without the horses or :.ariiess, at a valuation fixed bv three disintere-ted men. tha- he should take Rime's place at K.file's rate of to!!. The board never took any action on Mr. Staekpole's case until the two inont .s had expired. We expected him to pay the toll like others, which hi- refused to do. and we were Compelled to the unpleasant duty of bringing suit. Vou. by your misrepresentations and your meddling ut home, urged on this excitement, and endeavored to create the impression that the government could i and would take charge of the bridge, and your course i created all the difficulty. In your charge, of discrimination against Charles ' Stan burger, and in favor of Casper Dull, we will give you the facts; Casper Dull was charged sls p-r vear, while tenants on nis different farm-paid separately tor tnemselves and their respective (arms. Charles bianbarger was charged the first year $35 for his Mill. fr the second year SSO, and for the present year S4O. ! This includes the travel of Stanbarger and family and ('apt. Neace and family. You charge us with di.-crim ination against Stanbarger anl in favor of Dull, in the ratio of ten to one, which we will show you is incor rect. From a statement of the agent of the Penn'a. j R. R.. at McVeytown, who has kept an accurate ac count of tiie tonnage ol both Dull and Stanbarger, ] Hull's tonnage is shown to be 296 tons and 45 lbs..s>tau barger's 52s tons and 788 lbs. This will show your j arithmetic to be as badly mixed a.- your pills are some times. You ass-i-t that Joha MeOord was removed from the position of mail messenger hv the Demo crats, for voting for Mr. Gioboney. This is equally false. Mr. Mct'ord was removed on account of neg ligence. iie having several times left the mail bag ly ing on the railroad track.at the station,taking hispa> senger* on to McVeytown; when the postmaster fol lowed him. to see what had become of the mail, he exclaimed. I must have forgotten it atthe railroad. We hope you will not regard yoursell of so much importance a-, to con-.der these explanations of your fabrication made for your benefit, but rather to cor rect false impressions among others who have seen them, and do not ku-w you as well as I do. Yours, respectfully. JOHN ROSS. [We have omitted one paragraph in the above communication reflecting on Dr. li s official position as Examining Surgeon, as irrelevant to the matter at issue. The result could ho of no hen efit to either part}', no more than if the Gen. would call the Dr. a paralel logram, a hypothcnu.se, or an ellipsis, and the Dr. in turn designate the Gen. as a right-angled triangle, a polygon, or a hexagon.— EDS. GAZETTE.] I)R. ROTH ROCK'S REPLY. GEN. ROSS —Sir: In your letter to the Democrat of last week, you complain that 1 tell lies on you, You also complain that my arithmetic is as badiy mixed as my pills are. Well, General, I will now tell the truth as nearly as I can, and will also mix my arith metic as little as possible. You say it is false that the Dulls and Rosses have themselves elected bridge directors year after year in succession, and offer to prove this position ty saying that Charles Bratton was on 30th of last December unanimously elected President of the company. Forcible reasoning this ! The Dulls and the Rosses own, or did own last year, according to the bridge book, 76 shares out of 133, the whole amount ; and although the votes diminish as the shares increase in the hands of any one man, you with your friends who stand by you in the company, have the controlling power in all bridge measures. You voted yourselves in again, and i repeat, you have been reelected year after year in succession, and every one here knows this fact. Who ever beard of any of you refusing a place of power or profit? Wherever you are known, such an assertion would be considered an absurdity. 1 also charge you with making unjust d>s crimination in your assessments in favor of democrats and against republicans. I re peat the charge and prove it by your own figures. You say Mr. Duil's railroad tonnage was 296 tons and 45 lbs , Stan barger'a 528 tons and 788 lbs. You say also that last year Mr. Duli's toll was $15.00, (the book says $13.20) and Stanbarger's SSO 00. If, then, by the application of the single rule of three, Stanbarger'e 528 tons and 788 pounds freight is worth SSO 00, Duil's 296 tons and 45 pounds is worth $28.01 toll, whereas you say Mr. Dull pays $15.00, but if the bridge book is correct Mr. Dull pays in reality only sl3 20, which is less than half of what he should pay, in proportion to Stanbarger's as sessment on railroad tonnage alone. Well, General, we have got along thus far without mixing. Here we must mix a little. The tonnage is only one item in the unjust dis crimination between Dull and Stanbarger.— Dull has a farm adjoining the borough, in eluding the island, on which his barn stands, while bis dwelling and his tnant houses are in the borough: I said before that it was estimated by careful observers who have an opportunity of knowing that Mr. Dull, with his family and all his farm hands, in view of the thousand times the barn and other parts of the farm must be attended to, cross the bridge twenty times for once that Stanbarger does; but lest that I should be charged with exaggeration I would say ten times, and this, be it now understood, is in connection with the farm alone, to which we will add the Duil's half dozen or more head of loose horses or colts running and galloping over the bridge as they did last summer, and other loose stock passing every day over the bridge, I will again mix another item in this account, Dull has one or two farms in Bratton township from which he hauls his firewood. This must all come over the bridge. Witness for instance the large pile, eord up> on cord, along the roadside on the island, to he hauled to his own and tenant's houses during the year as it is needed. Now, Gen eral, on the tonnage alone you stand convicted by your own figures, of discriminating against Stanbarger and in favor of Dull as two to one; then when we sum up the endless travel, heavy hauling, and loose stock of Dull in the use of the bridge, in connection with his farm, it will amount to hundreds of dollars per year, in favoriDg Dull in contrast with Stan' barger. This is not all. You say in the $50.00 toll agiinst Stanbarger, the families of Stanbarger and Neice are included This is incorrect. Neice is not included. There the privilege is extended to Stanbarger and wife alone. As an offset Duli's family all pa>s over for the $13.20 toll as the book says, or $15.00 if you choose as you say. General, can you understand all tlris mixed up arith metic? Well, this is one case clearly made out of your favoring democrats and oppress ing republicans. In order to justify yourselves in refusing to give Stackpole the bri ige by the year last fall, you allege that you have had a standing rule nut to give the t,ridge after the first six mouths to any hut laborers and that by the month. Daniel Ycder, who is a man of tin doubted veracity, .and has been director for several years, says there is no such ruie, that there is nothing of the kind on the book, that there never was, that the first he ever heard of such a tiling was when Stackpole got the carrying ot the mail. It was then, just sprung on Stack pole as a ruse, without a shadow of foundation, if Mr, Y'oder is true, hut for the sake of argument, admitting your position to be true. I say you broke that . ruie when you contracted with Isaac Walls, carpeater, long after the first six months ex pired, not by the month, hut 60 cents for the aUuce of the year. I bus proving in eit er view vf the case the false position you your selves have assumed. lhe case tf D. \ . Ahl proves noth ng lie was a stranger here—expected to be lu-re only while he was moving his metal, which he must take over the bridge to get it away, and had yuu not done as you did you would hare i been highly culpable. i At the commencement of the disturbance, j you say you called on Stackpole and entreat ed him to pay by the trip—4o eents, being ' 80 cents per day f>r two mouths, until the \ new assessment, and you would do so and so. Hell, it was just three months, less three days, frotn the time Stackpole commenced carrying the mail. instead of two mouths. You would then have him pay 80 cents per day all the time, while you pass Kime at 5 cents per trip. Modest request that! You were ai! harmonious in the board, were you? Here you harmonious when you, the Dulls and the Rosses, --trove to make Stack ! pole pav SO cants per day, when C. Bratton, : President, directed the toll collector to pass him at 25 cents per day ? \Y .--re vou hnrmo nious at the meeting on 14th October, wh-n ; the Dulls and Rosses voted, solid, to make ! Stackpole pay 40 cents a trip, when every j republican member present, including Harsh barger. as he says, voted Day ? Strange har mony this ! You charge me with being the cause rf all | this disturbance, by uiy meddling at home. Not so sir. You began this disturbance by your imposition on Stackpole; at the first move, by closing the gate on hiui—by sueing him, and by your persistent persecution of him in all this transaction, and now finding yourselves in your present predicament, you want to shirk the responsibility by saying the whole is a tissue of falsehoods, and that I was the cause of it all. Yuu, sir, can if you will, this day settle ail the trouble. If you will go before the board and move that Stack pole and Rime be put on the same footing in tiie paying of toll, your motion wiil be adopted and peace restored at once. I have proven every prominent charge against you 1 true, and in your letter, you have, by vour ignorance of tiie english language, advanced arguments to prove yourself innocent, which has proven the reverse. In your defence, you have shown how utterly untenable your ; position is. Y'ou have proven more against 1 yourselves than a dozen communications from an outside party could do. The charges are I true. You know they are true. Y'ou are all I ashamed of yourselves, aud well you may he. ( Y'ou attempt to escape responsibility by sub terfuge, and every step yuu take involves y-m i the more deeply. Being goaded to desperation by the expos j ure of your course, you are ready for anything. ; You and your associates meet and concoct | your plans to be executed at the proper time. I On election day, you go stealthily to work and marshal your forces—with profound secresy you keep your ticket to yourselves, and let no one outside of your clique know for whom you vote. I being from home most part of j the day, did not know #iur secret design un : til within a very short time before the polls j closed. Then the work is done. You and [ your subordinates, with the secresy of the ; midnight assassin, elect me constable. If this had been openly done by the respectable | part of the community as a token of disap j probation for doing a dishonorable or unwor | thy act, I would feel mortified at the result, j but considering that it was done by you and j your associates, that it was done, as much | other dirty work is done— in concealment, I j accept the result as the price we must some { times pay for telling truth on such men as j you, and in view of all the circumstances. I | can face an honorable community with a > countenance you dare not assume iu this con nection. Now, General, as your co director, Mr. Dull, was within a few years, promoted by j the suffrages of his fellow citizens to the | same place of honor you have just conferred I on me, I can recognize him as my illustrious j predecessor If the court decide that I assume the du I ties of this responsible position, I promise | you, if you should ever get out of law and i order, (as men sometimes cD) I will do you : full justice in returning you to the proper 1 authorities on every occasion.
