Disregard of Law.
During the past few years the people of
this country have been gradually merg
ing into the dangerous practice of disre
garding important laws, which may yet
lead to serious results. The worst feature
in this is that demagogues have intro
duced this practice into politics, and in
some parts of the State even judges, dis
trict attorneys, and others engaged in see
ing the laws faithfully executed, have un
dertaken to nullify and set at nought leg
islative enactments by declaring them to
be unconstitutional, and thus induced
men on the ground of party alone to con
strue laws for the benefit of party. Until
within the hist few years, election boards j
as a general thing endeavored to construe j
those laws according to their true intent j
and meaning, and no one was so regard- I
less of his oath as to attempt to nullify j
any clause on the ground of its being un- j
constitutional. Differences of opinion of
course existed, and one board admitted
voters which another did not, but those
differences never arose from actual disre
gard of law, but rather from ignorance.
This however is fast changing, and we
now daily hear men discussing the con
stitutionality of legislation as if we had
no Supreme Court to decide what is or
what is not law. For such men to under
take to say that a State law disfranchis
ing deserters is unconstitutional, and act
upon that assertion, is setting aside the
whole law, for they might with equal
propriety decide that the ten days' resi
dence, the payment of a tax, and" other
qualifications, are the same. The decis
ion of the Supreme Court in the congres
sional case does not affect the present law,
because the latter supplies a new State
qualification which, until decided by the
Supreme Court, is law.
Where all this will end it is difficult to
tell; but it is not difficult to foresee that
where a judicial officer lias incited a man
to violate a law, he is totally unfit to try
him for an offence to which he is himself
a partieeps criminis. Besides, it has a
tendency to make bur elections subservi
ent to a class of men wanting the first
principle of a good citizen, patriotism.
WeS* General Couch has been notified
of his appointment as Collector of the
port of Boston.
Thos. A. Scott, Vice President of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, lias contribu
ted SIOOO for the relief of the Johnstown
sufferers.
J6General Dix will hold his appoint
ment as naval officer of New York only a
few days. He has accepted the mission
to France.
f&tf' Mr. Pillsbury, the defeated Copper
head candidate for Governor of Maine,
has just been appointed to a pension
agency in that .State. Pay said to be
$3,000.
The Democrat admits that the re
publican procession numbered nearly 1000
persons. Taking pattern by its* 5000
arithmetic, the count would be consider
able.
Bar The household effects left at the
Arlington Mansion by R. E. Lee late
rebel general, or rather the fragments re
maining of them, were delivered to the
party authorized to receive them. This
was done on Andrew Johnson's order!
At a private dinner last week, Mr
A. T. Stewart intimated his readiness to
give $1,000,000 for the erection of tene
ment houses for the deserving poor of
New York, on condition that the land re
quired should be provided.
tKi f A colored man named John Brown
at the instigation it is said of another
named Henry Garver, was bought by the
copperheads of Harrisburg to go in their
procession lying on a sofa, smoking a ci
gar! Both these men were bitterly de
nounced by the colored men, at a public
meeting, as degraded specimens of hu
manity. To us it looks as if the copper
heads were making that nigger their su
perior.
BtfL. Our caution to look out for Fictions
in the last Democrat was well-timed, as
that paper "had a wonderful Recount of
5000 voters in council." As there are
less than 4000 in the county, including
republicans, democrats, copper job nsons,
copperheads, Ac., and as less' than L"00
were here from Huntingdon and Juniata,
at least 3500 out of the 5000 must have
been imported across Jack's Stone, Shade,
and the Seven Mountains, or else were
men of struw!
A Blunder Someivhere. —One James
Potts, Pennsylvania, has addressed a com
munication to the President, in which he
expresses his indignation at the appoint
ment of A. C. Mullin as collector of inter
nal revenue for the Seventeenth district
of Pennsylvania, on the recommendation
of Senator Cowan. He informs A. J. that
Mullin was recently chief clerk to the
Secretary of State of Pennsylvania; is a
thorough-bred Radical; will not fail to
work tor the interests of the Radical par
ty, and further, that the appointment will
insure the defeat of R. L. Johnston, the
Democratic candidate from that district.
He intimates that Cowan's selections of
appointees are made with little regard for
tne aid of "my policy" and are often men
whose political principles are of the Rad
ical stamp.
TIIE ELECTIOX.
That one of the most stupendous elec
tion frauds ever attempted in this county
was )>erpetrated yesterday was abundant
ly evident long before the polls closed.
Derry and Granville townships both
poured forth hordes of colonized voters,
while bribery was so openly practised in
the streets and alleys that even conceal
ment was not deemed necessary. Things
in the shape of men were hanging around
the master spirits of this corrupting in
fluence, patiently waiting to see how
much they could get for debasing them
selves to a degradation so low that it must
have brought a blush of shame to every
man who regarded the purity of elections,
to see such illegal means triumph. Sun
dry deserters were colonized as recom
mended in districts where the board al
lowed them to vote—the Poor House
sent forth its paupers as voters —men who
next Sunday will be found sniveling over
prayers and devotional exercises in
churches, showed their cloven feet by
producing and vouching for strangers
whom they had secretly and temporarily
employed for the express purpose of vot
ing, and thus violated a law as imperative
as that which says, thou shult not steal—
and company works were used as though
they had been created for the express pur
pose of overslaughing the legal voters of
this .county. It remains to be seen how
ever whether they have not for once over
reached themselves, and become amena
ble to what the law defines to be a serious
offence.
We subjoin the returns from Lewistown
district, which furnish a curious commen
tary 011 the purity of suffrage and freedom
of elections:

The heaviest vote heretofore polled in
Granville shows that some3o or 40 votes
were colonized there for this election.—
In Derry it is estimated that from 30 to
40 were surreptitiously introduced, while
in Lewistown the colonized and purchas
ed material amounted to at least 50. In
Oliver and McVeytown from 20 to 30 were
added. A party that resorts to such means
to obtain political ascendancy cannot fail,
sooner or later, to meet with a stern re
buke at the hands of the taxpayers who,
in the end, will foot some of the bills. It
must also be a source of much gratifica
tion to a high minded and honorable man
to know that he holds office through a ma
jority composed of paupers, deserters,
draft skedaddiers, and imjiorted votes.
Our information from other points is
that Mr. Morrell is elected to Congress by
from 600 to 1000 majority; and that Brown
and Wharton are elected to the Legisla
ture. The State may be in doubt on Gov
ernor, though we think Gen. Geary is
elected.
Some years ago the " democracy"
started a story that It. L. Johnston, then
its now, copperhead candidate for Con
gress, had deserted the Presbyterian
church and became a Roman Catholic. —
During the late campaign this was bruit
ed about by a few persons, and forthwith
an emissary was sent to Cambria county
to make known to the Catholics there
that the republican party was electioneer
ing against Johnston on that ground !
The republican party did no such thing.
\\ e knew that it was used two years ago
by the democracy, yet there is not a re
publican paper in the district which gave
the slightest hint that Johnston belonged
to that church, which we believe is the
fact.
Too Horrible to be True. —A Savannah
dispatch to the Chicago Post has the fol
lowing: Fifteen Union soldiers confined
at Andersonvilie until the close of the
war, were hist Monday discovered still in
confinement in a cave near Atlanta, guur
? t & and totally igno
rant that the war was ended. They were
s arved and emaciated, having been cru
elly abused, and most of them were near
ly idiotic from the protracted confinement
in darkness, not having seen the lieht
since leaving xYndersonville.
*®S T - he Alexandria, La., Gazette savs
that Rufus King Cutler, of New Orleans
aggravated by General Sheridan' 9 des
patches and remarks, sent a friend to the
Commander of the department of the
Gulf to inquire if that great military
peisonage would accept a challenge, and
that the General said that if Cutler or any
of his friends called on him for any such
purpose, he would kick them out of his
quarters. The Sheridander was up.

which injured some late corn, beans, and
other garden products.
Funeral of Rebel Soldier* in
Kentucky.
The Cincinnati Commercial savs : "On
Tuesday hist the bodies of ten rebel sol
diers, two of whom were shot by order of
j General Burbi idge some two years ago,
! in retaliation for the murder of a Unioii
; citizen of Scott county, Ky., by guerillas,
! were rehitered with great pomp in the
j cemetery at Georgetown, Ky. Ex-rebel
I soldiers, rebel sympathizers, &c., to the
! amount of live or six thousand, formed
tiie funeral cortege. Basil Duke rode at
the head of about three hundred mounted
men formerly of Morgan's command, and
! the widow ofthe latter occupied a car
i riage in the procession. All the rebel
soldiers and many others who took part
in the demonstration wore the red, white
and red badges. Ibe orations were de
livered—one by Rev. Mr. HoMand, for
merly a chaplain in Howard Smith's
regiment, -of Morgan's command, and
one by Rev. Mr. McGinn, a Campbellite
minister at Georgetown."
Death of John S. Rarey, the
Horse-tamer.
The celebrated horse-tamer, John S. Ra
rey, died suddenly at Cleveland, Ohio, on !
the 4th inst.
Last December he had a stroke of para
lysis, since which time lie bad been treat
ed by several prominent physicians. On
Thursday, at two p. m., lie left the Wad
ded House for a walk, but soon returned,
complaining ofa pain in the head. After
being seated a few minutes he exclaimed, i
j " I mil d3'ing," and in about an hour he '
expired.
Mr. Rarey was a native of Frank'in
county, Ohio, where he was born in 1828.
He first publicly developed liiss3 - stem for
taming, or rather training hors<As in 1855,
but from early childhood had been a stu
dent of what is now known as " Rarey's ;
83' stem." hi 1856 he visited Texas, and
studied for a year or two the habits of the
animals of that State, meeting with great
success in taming the wild horses of that 1
wild region. On his return from Texas j
he gave his first public exhibition at Co
lumbus, Ohio, since which time he has
almost constantly been before the public. 1
In the course of his career lie was consult
ed 113- the chief cavalry officers of England
and this country, and Major General Hal- i
leek employed him in 1833 to inspect and
report upon the condition of the horses of
the army of the Potomac, which lie did j
with considerable discretion.
His remains were taken for burial to
Groveport, Ohio, where he resided 011 a
fine stock farm which lie owned near that
place.
Deatli of J. Porter lirowii.
The sad intelligence, sa3*s the Cham
bersburg Repository, has "reached this I
place of the death of J. Porter Brown,
Esq. In company with a number of
young men, lie was en route to Montana j
Territory. On the 10th of July last,
while in camp 011 Tongere river, the In- i
dians made an attack upon them with
the intention of driving oil* their stock, j
Mr. Brown was some distance from camp j
at the time, fishing, and by swimming 1
the river succeeded with great difficulty- I
in joining his comrades. After the attack
was over, he started back to recover his
coat, left at the river bank, and had not
proceeded more than three hundred 3'ards j
in that direction, when a bullet from an
unseen foe pierced his brain. He was I
buried by the side of the trail, and his
companions, after performing this last :
sad duty, proceeded with heavy hearts !
towards their destination. Mr. Brown
was the son of Ex-SherifF Brown.
Is a lli-oken Neck Curable?
A London Letter in the Chicago Even- j
ing Journal has the following:
The old saying that there is no cure for !
a broken neck has just been practically
disproved by a surgeon at Greenock. He j
was called to see a young girl who had
just fallen a distance of eighteen feet, and :
thoroughly dislocated the neck. When
lie reached her the face was nearly revers
ed, and looking over the back. He prompt- ;
ly supported the back with the left knee, j
took a grasp of the head, and began to j
pull gradually and pretty strong, where- j
upon the girl's eyes opened and there was
an effort at breathing. Increasing the
i pressure, the parts suddenly came to their ;
natural position, and after a uunute or
two regular breathing was established. — |
Close attention was afterward paid to the
case, and after much fever aud occasional :
convulsions, the child recovered, and is
now as well as ever. I believe there is j
not another similar case on record. Of;
course, much time must not elapse be- I
tween the injury and the treatment.
The \CH Orleans Massacre.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2. —The Tribune has
received to-day a special despatch from
New Orleans containing the report of the |
military commission to investigate the
riots in that city. The report is signed |
by Gens. Mower, Quincey, Gregg and
Baldey. gives a full synopsis of the i
evidence, comprising the despatches of j
Gen. Sheridan.
The commission gives the opinion that ;
there was a preconcerted plan among the i
rebel associations for the purpose of at
tacking the convention if there was any
plausible pretext, and but for the declara- j
tion of martial-law and the presence of j
the troops, fire and bloodshed would have |
raged throughout the night in all the!
negro quarters of the city, and the lives j
and property of Unionists and Northern i
men would -have been at the mercy of the
mob. Three-fourths of the mob were re
bel soldiers.
The board review the conduct of Mayor
Monroe, and believe his action precipita
ted the consequences that ensued from ;
his own acts. The party in power in
New Orleans with Mayor Monroe, the
board believe, if allowed to have their j
own way, without punishment for past
offences,"will soon render that city a place
! of insecurity for Northern lives and prop
j erty.
i Death of a Lady at the Ape of One
Hundred and Five Years. —The Cham
; bersburg Repository says:
"Mrs. MaryAndrewsdiedatStrasburg,
i this county, on the 22d ult., at the ad
vanced age of 105 years. With what re
spect and awe should poor humanity look
uj>on such a duration of life. Born two
vears before the end of the French and
Indian war, four years before the famous
| stamp act was passed, fifteen years before
the declaration of Independence, thirty
eight years before the death of Washing
ton, fifty-one years before the war of 1812,
one hundred years old at the outbreak of
the Southern rebellion. What a long,

HOSiDERFIL SCIEATIFIC
DISCOVERY
FOR the treatment of acute and chron
ic diseases. The undersigned would
respectfully call the attention of the afflic
ted females of Mifflin and adjoining coun
ties to tiie fact that she has taken instruc
tions in the correct application of Elec
tricity, and is now fully prepared to op
erate successfully on all persons afflicted
with the following named diseases:
General Debility, Kidney Complaint,
Diver, Spinal A fleet ion, Costiveness,
Foul Stomach, Rheumatism,
Diseases of the Womb,
Suppression of the Menses, Neuralgia,
Nervous Diseases, Female Weakness,
Piles and Gravel, Bronchial Affections,
Dispepsia, Headache, Drubets,
Goitre, or Big Neck, &e.
Female patients can receive treatment
at my residence for any of the above dis
eases, with the wonderful discovery of
Electricity, which is without a parallel
and the very desideratum for the afflicted.
Please give her a trial; it is a mild opera
tion, producing no shock or unpleasant
sensation, and relieves when medicine
has no effect at all.
