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.

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.

Greeley's Conflict.

lowing from Hon. Daniel S. Diekins m :

OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE I

New York, Feb 23, 1865. \
GENTLEMEN: —I have read with unu
sual interest the tir-1 volume ci the Amer
ican Conflict," edited hy Horace Greeley,
■tGiich you have recently published, ft is
a calm, truthiui tan>l vigorous relation of
the most marked and memorable struggle
which lus been recorded in iiistoiy, an
cient or modern, or transmitted by tradi
tion.
In its perusal I have contemplated wish
mingled surprise an i admiration pho
tographic skiil with which these stirring
even's have teen delineated :—admiration
for the fidelity ot the picture, and surprise,
that one educated for years in the partizan
school, and accustomed to its conflict*,
could so completely become the impartial
philosopher, in a matter especially caleu
lated to open the fountains of human pre
judice and passion. For this enterprise,
which supplies the demands ot a great ne
cessity, and must become more valuable
and desirable as time advances, you gentle
men, are entitled to and will doubtless rc
ceive the thankful acknowledgements of a
grateful public, as weii as handsome pecu
niary reward.
I am sincerely yours,
I). S DICKINSON.
