The Democrat copies an article editori
ally from the Uarrisburg Patriot am!
Union conveying tin- impression that lie
pro{M>sed State loan i* a new debt, than
which nothing could be further from the
truth. The bill simply authorizes a loan
ol §-!•>,bOo,t)<HJ for the r<<l> nt ji f ntn of ali
Bonds against the Commonwealth that
are now overdue. The Governor, Audi
tor-General and State Treasurer, are au
thorized to make the loan, in the folio w
manner: Five million of dollars payable
at any time after five years an i within ten
years; eight millions at any fine after ten
years, and within fifteen years, and ten
millions at any time after fifteen years,
and within twenty-five years. Tin-r
bonds are exempt from taxation for slate,
municipal and local purposes, and hear
interest not exceeding six per cent., pa\ -
able semi-annually, on the Ist February
and the Ist of August. It is a.--cited that
by this law, the State wiil save at lea.-t
one million of dollars. The same hill ex
empts all bonds against theeommon wealth
from taxation. Capitalists will find thi
loan a profitable and safe investment.—
Such papers like the I'atriotand Fnion
and Philadelphia Age, as organs for a
party, are a shame and disgrace to it.
The Charges of Itribery.
The Investigating Committee appoint
ed on the Senatorial Election has made its
report and aver they have not been able
to discover any evidence which implicates
any one with using improper influence,
notwithstandingall the persons who made
frequent charges of bribery and corrup
tion, were invited to appear before it, and
many were compelled hv the strong arm
of the law to testify; but their evidence
did not implicate any one in the least.
The testimony itself is an amusing docu
ment. I hose who were foremost in mak
ing charges either at once acknowledged
they knew nothing at all, or else gave as
their authority bar-room reports and ru
mors. One thought he had found a hat
full of eggs, but afterwards discovered
that it was a mare's nest not having the
remotest connection with the candidates
for Senator.
A paragraph is going the rounds of the
papers stating that a number of farmers
from Mifflin county intend removing to
Virginia inthesprin This is a mistake
calculated to mislead. Several parties
have purchased lands, but we know of
but < ne who purposes to remove and Il
ls going into a Tanker settlement, of
which persuasion he is a member. Good
lands there are cheap enough, esjieciallv
in large tructs, but the unsettled state of
8 >eiety, the immense destruction of tim
ber and fences by both rebel and Union
armies during the war, and the conse
quent high prices of lumber, labor, and
mechanical hold out little in
ducement for any one to emigraie there
at this time. Even in Martinsburg, West
Virginia, lumber cannot be had for less
than ?3o per thousand, and thousands of
acres in its immediate neighborhood, al
though nearly two years have elapsed
since the close of the war, are at this day
without a panel of fence.

W*L,The march of democracy -till con
tinuum onward in the defence and justifi
cation of treason. The latest is the dec
laration of the Philadelphia Age that the
"conscience" of its editors is free from the
stain of spilling southern blood, and a
general democratic attack on Gen. Sheri
dan for refusing to let the Texan traitors
pay civic and military honors to Gen.
Johnson of the rebel army. The Belle
foute Watchman, after calling Sheridan
tool, coward, and everything else, declare
that the least bone in the dead body of
the rebel general contains more manliness
and courage than a pile of Phil Sheridans
as big as the Allegheny mountains.
A meeting of the Directors of the
Middloercek Railroad Company was held
at Northumberland last week, at which
Andrew Reed wa- clmsen Treasurer, Jno.
A. MeKee Secretary, and A. C. Simpson
attorney. About >'70,009 subscript ions are
still required, and as Sunbury has appar
ently failed in raising sufficient induce
ments to make that point the terminus,
Northumberland will proba' ly se cure it
an i thus connect with the Lackawanna

route to New York and other point-.
A large railroad meeting was held at
Ikilefonte on the 7th, Moses Thompson
presiding, at which Dr. S. Maclay gave a
statement of the condition of the Miillin
and Centre It. it. Co., and a committee
also made a reportadvoeatingit- construc
tion to R<•llefonte. Committee- were ap
pointed to procure subscriptions, and a
resolution adopted making them binding

nize among the names many of the lead

I he Grand Lodge of the Independent
Order of Good Templars, which has its
headquarters at Altoona, Pa., has issued
a call for a convention, to he held in the
Court House, at Harrisburg, on Tuesday,
tiie 2*it 1 1 inst., for the purpose of devising
means to overcome the growing evil of
intemperance. A very large attendance
may be expected, as delegates will he pre
sent from all parts of the State. The pro
ject is one that cannot be too highly com
mended.

Democracy is still gradually veer

E*sL>The barn belonging to Henry
Aughey, in Juniata county, was, with its
contents, entirely destroyed by fire, on
Sunday a week. It contained twenty
two head of cattle, nearly all last year's
crop and about twenty "tons of 1 lay.—
The large hank burn belonging to Rnn
i d llebtr, about one and a half miles
southeast of Mifflinburg, Union county,
was destroyed by fire about 3 o'clock in
the morning a few weeks ago. The fire
it is supposed originated from a sled load
ed with lime that had been left in the
shed. It was insured.

Affairs iu the South are evidently
daily growing worse, murders, assassina
tions, broils, robbery, becoming more
and more frequent. I n Tennessee Senator
Case, a leading Lnion man, was lately
assassinated, and it is now said the rebel's
are< dlennghigh rewards for killing I Jnion
men. SSOOO is offered for killing Colon'
Stokes. Will Andrew Johnson never
wake iip to realize the terrible condition
in which he is placing our country ?
Whenever one out of the thousands
of ministers in the United States is guilt v
of a crime of any kind the whole pack of
copperheads attack and denounce him
and with him all preachers who were
loyal during the war, with the avidity oi
bloodhounds. Ministers, like other men
ate but human, and he who supposes them
angels is either a fool or a knave; but the

K3L, The Senate of Pennsylvania lias
instructed the Judiciary Committee to
inquire whether the Commonwealth has
power to regulate the passenger fares and
freight tolls on the railroads and canals of
the State to secure the interests of the
general public. This committee consists
of Messrs. Shoemaker, of Luzerne, Big
ham of Alleghany, MeConaughy of
Adams, Wallace of Clearfield, ami iSchal 1
of Lehigh, and has been given power to
cempel the attendance of witnessess, and
to.-emi for papers. Any individuals, firms,
or corporations desiring to appear before
this committee and make complaint of
exorbitant rates charged by any railroad
company or canal on anthracite coal, iron,
or any other kind of freight, can commu
nicate with any member of the committee
at Harrisburg.
For the Gazette.
PrHscription lAeitqiiified.
The list of Collectors lately published
by the Commissioners is for the first time
within my recollection a one-sided politi
cal affair, not a single republican, so faras
I know, being on it. Heretofore no board
followed t.hi.- pro.-eripti vecourse, t liecom
missioners generally appointing one of
those returned unless p' raoual <>b}ctionts
made. In those returned, this could
not have been the ease, for if I am cor
rectly informed John Musserand George
W. Wiley, two old and respected citizens
were returned for Lewistown; George
Settle and I-.tae Winter in Bratton; Da
vid Stevens and Win. G. Henderson in
Wayne; and In other districts equally re-
spectable men, all of whose nayies I did
not learn, yet they were without excep
tion arbitrarily set aside and men of op
posite politic* sonic of t hem not over-pop
uiareven with the democracy) put in their
places. Several of those so appointed were
men too who have no need for seeking
-ucii petty offices. If changes had to be
made, why not hunt out some worthy
D : or men of their own party or honora
bly discharged -oldiers, of whom there are
numbers in both parties? Are there none
s'.ich in Wayne, Bratton, Lewistown,
Derry, A.C., or i* it a sin to have server! too
faithfully the cause of the Union against
the rebellion? Soldier- can answer for
themselves. J do not send you this,
Messrs. Editors, for the purpose of com
plaining. but to show how utterly pro
-'•i iptive tiit party is whenever in power.
With me at least it will hereafter form a
precedent when I am solicited to aid men
of the oppositejjarty to office, in pointing
ing to the course of the commissioners.—

ate party man, hut now A RADICAL.

Railroad Stent.
Farmer-, eountry merchantsami trades
men of 1\ i-hacoquillas valley, awake from
your slumbers and look to your interests.
Let us live like others and l>eof some use
to the rising generation and ourselves.
Let us all unite and have a railroad
through the valley. Many farmers have
oftere i ton dollars for every acre of land
they own, toward a road from Keed-ville
to intersect with Pennsylvania Railroad
at Milloreek. And this will be youronly
wise plan for you ever to succeed in getting
a railroad. This you will consider hut a
t rill - after you once see the great benefits
to he derived from its construction.—
Again, every acre of land you po-sess will
be worth ten or fifteen dollars per acre
more, after the road is made. Why do
you then hesitate to invest money in such
a grand enterprise. Jt certainly will pay
one hundred per cent, better than oil stock.
