Estate Notice, dec.
The leading political event during the
past week has been the doubtful exercise
of power on the part of President John- j
son in removing or suspending Mr. Stan
ton as Secretary of War. It is daily be
coming more evident that the reconstruc
tion laws of Congress, which by the Con
stitution are the supreme law of the land,
will be evaded or nullified by every means
that trickery or assumption of power can
command. Whether influenced by evil
councillors, political hatred of those who;
elevated hhn to power and to whom he
proved as false as he did to all his Union
professions up to his election as Vice Pre
sident, or ly that baneful habit which has
been the curse of too many of our public
men, his course is inviting a retributive;
justice which will surely overtake him
before long—for however loth Congress
may have been to impeach this political
hydra, forbearance has almost ceased to
be a virtue. As History has recorded his
entrance into high office in disgrace to
himself and the nation, it may repeat it
self in his disgraceful expulsion. The
best commentary that can he offered of
the worth and standing of Mr. Stanton,
is furnished in the letter of Gen. Grant
on his being directed to take charge of
the War Department. He says:
Headquarter* Armies of the U. States,
Washington City, August 12, 1867.—Sir :
Enclosed herewith 1 have to transmit to
you a copy of a letter just received from
the President of the United States, noti
fying me of n>y assignment as Acting
Secretory of War, and directing me to
assume those duties at onee. In notify
ing you of my acceptance, I cannot let
t lie opportunity pass without expressing
to you my appreciation of the zeal, patri
otism, firmness and ability with which
you have ever discharged the duty of
Secretary of War.
With great respeet, your oh't servant,
U. S. GRANT, General.
Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War.
Flowers of Democracy.
The Selinsgrove Times of last week
notices an attack on the Good Templars
as follows:
" HARD ON THEM. —The Columbia
Herald is quite severe on the Good Tem
plars of that place or any other pla*e
where the humbug took root. It says:
'We shall op]>ose the political schemes of
the Good Templars as firmly and as con
scientiously as we would any other bandit
organized for the purpose of destroying
the proj>erty of their neighbors.'"
The Columbia Herald is a full-blooded
democratic sheet, and like others of that
kidney would no doubt swear he is a bet
ter temperance man than any Good Tem
plar.
The La Crosse Democrat, a democratic
paper taken in many parts of this State
by men lost to all sense of decency, lately
made the following attack on the Method
ist church :
"It seems as if the Methodist church
this year is but little better than a house
of prostitution. Not a day but we see
notices of these clerical indiscretions,
principally among Methodists and Bap
tists. Since ministers began preaching
politics their churches are little else than
hiding places for lecherous old deacons,
treacherous sisters and smirking minis
ters who, if hell l>e paved with skulls of
infants, act as if they had large contracts
for that kind of work! Brethren of the
God-and-Morality party —Let us pray."
We leave democrats who belong to the
Methodist church make their own com
ments on this wholesale aspersion.
The Uniontowu Genius of Liberty, of
which James F. Campbell, the founder
of the Johnstown Democrat, is the pub
lisher and editor, hist week contained the
following editorial utterance:
" The contributors to the Lincoln mon
ument are demanding to know what has
liecotne of their money. No matter what
lists become of it. It cannot be put to a
more dig/race fit/ purpose than building a
monument to such a man as Lincoln, whosi
life was a withering curse to his country
The Harrisbjurg Telegraph lately had a
sensible article on State Committees de
voting more attention, to the country press.
We have but little faith in the manner in
which State Committees generally con
duct their business. For gratuitous ad
vice, addresses, &c. the country press is
considered good enough, but .we never
knew but one that seemed button
whether any pay ever was given for ser
vices rendered, and that one had for its
chairman the best-abused man in the
State.
Four men were carried down the Falls
of N'igara on Tu sday a week.
Judge Thomas, of the Ninth Judicial
; District, Va., has been arrested, charged
with violating the Civil Rights Bill, in
; refusing to admit negro testimony.
John S. Pendleton, of Culpepper coun
ty, Va., formerly a member of Congress,
was arrested and taken to Richmond on
I Wednesday night, on a charge of perjury
in having himself registered.
J. W. Pillbriok, supposed to be from
Lowell, Mass., died in July, at Ellsworth,
; Kansas, leaving some property and a
; large amount of money, which awaits the
i claim of his friends.
According to old democratic logic, the
"majority of the people" constituted de
mocracy. Copperheadism is now engag
ed in demonstrating tiiat the majority are
tyrants.
The Poor House Steward of Cambria
county lias resigned. It the democracy
up there is at a loss for a proper person to
take his place, we can send half a dozen
| candidates to pick from.
The democratic papers, after asserting
for years that Dunham, alias Conover,
! was a jierjured rascal, are now endeavor
ing to show that because he is lying on
their side he is an honest man.
Some twelve citizens of St. Joseph, Mo.,
have been arrested for complicity in burn
ing the Platte river bridge, on the Hanni
bal and St. Joseph railroad, in 1861. Some
forty more writs are in tlie hands of the
sheriff*.
The colored people of Delaware being
denied participation in the benefits of the
public school system of that State, four
teen schools have been established through
the aid of various associations, supported
iu part by the contributions of the parents
of the pupils.
It seems that Dr. Cummings made a
trifling error in his calculations concern
ing the total destruction to take place in
1567. In revising his work he found that
he had overlooked figures which add
something like a quintillion of years to
; the race which this mundaue sphere has
to run.
The democratic papers all claim the re
eent election in Kentucky as a democrat
ic victory. Part of the ticket elected was
conqxjsed of rebels, and the remainder
' were little better. Among the "demo
crats" elected to the Legislature is Jesse
D. Bright, who it will be remembered
was expelled from the U. S. Senate iu
1861 for being in correspondence with Jef
Davis.
It is said that one of the causes of the
late rupture between the President and
Secretary of War, was the refusal of Mr.
! Stanton to assign to a militia company of
! Maryland, composed mainly of returned
rebel officers and soldiers, a battery of
light guns for which they had applied.
The President is said to have directed him
to furnish the battery, but that Mr. Htan
ton declined.
In running to catch a "fly ball" in a
base ball game at Osage, in Mitchell co.,
lowa, a few days ago, two players came
in contact with such force that one of
them had a jaw broken and was knocked
down insensible, and was "crazy for twen
ty-four hours thereafter," while the other
had his face bruised and the bones of his
nose broken.
The letter of Gen. Pope to Gen. Grant,
describing the progress of reeonstrution
iu Georgia, Alabama and Florida, says
' the party which is in accord with the
northern democracy "are bitterly opposed
; to reconstruction under the acts of Con
' gross; opposed in fact to any reconstruc
j- tioti whatever except such as would leave
them in precisely the same political con
dition as if there had been no rebellion
and no war."
The Johnstown Tribune, has been se
lected one of the two newspapers in the
State, in which the public Acts ami lteso
' lulions of Congress are to lie published.
' What political infamy did this editor
commit to entitle him tothiscongression
j al favor? Probably he is only a notorious
. I liar!— Selinsgrove Times.
? | Tut, man, don't be jealous because a
•' brother editor has secured a good job.
Besides, if political infamy, or that other
r tiling, is worth rewarding, you may some
r day get the same take, in which case your
own preaching would say "Thou art the
' man!"
i Copperheadism is just now engaged in
■ ascribing every evil underthesuu toCon
■ gress. Thus not long ago the Southern
people of the rebel States could not work
because they had no representation iu
Congress—next, although there was an
immense erop to be harvested und a de
mand for labor everywhere, the country
was going to ruin—ami to cap the climax,
an editor in an isolated town which gives
a dancing picnic once or twice a week, iu
complaining of dull times there, says it
is all the fault of Congress!
A few days since a girl about ten years
of age, named Crusou, residing in Groes
beckville, while out berrying, about ten
miles from Albany, was attacked by u rac
coon and pretty seriously injured. The
'girl was engaged picking berries under a
tree, which the raccoon ascended. While
thus engaged the animal descended the
tree and made an attack upon her, seizing
f her leg and biting from it a large piece of
. flesh. Tlve Express says, after the coon
had been beaten ott', and the party on
. their way home, the animal followed
jtlieni three miles, and then made for the
. woods.
i \ The Democrat seldom, if ever, makes
t acknowledgement of wrongful charges.
1 j Thus, although we reproduced the ex
, tract from the Indiana copperhead to
' | show that it carried with it its own mean
ing, ami therefore could not be garbled,
I that paper now avows its disability to say
one thing or the other because it has not
'• the whole article. So with Collector
II Clarke: it says the law does not prohibit
him from advertising in more than one
paper. If the Democrat wit I refer to the
s Internal Revenue Act, it will see that it
r | mentions one newspaper, not one or more
' or at least one, and in such a ease the
meaning Is plain enough. Ifin the larger
51 counties collectors advertise in more pa
epers than one, they must have special
! authority for doing so, or else pay the ad
ditional advertising out of their own
' |sM*kets, as some postmasters used to do
i here for aiD'crtisiug lists ol letters.

The Diamond Dickens. — Domini/ and
Son. —The diamond edition of Dickens —
I the happy idea of Messrs. Ticknor and
I Fields—has excited an abundance of com-'
! petition. Several other cheap editions of
the greatest living novelist, have been
I commenced by New York and Philadel
iphia houses. But the diamond edition
i maintains its supremacy, both because it
! was the first in the lield, and because it
best fulfils tiie purpose of a cheap, neat
and readable reprint of Dickens' works,
j The volumes are of such shape that they
ican be put into the pocket, taken into the
cars, or carried into the country. They
j are of the right size to be perused on a
summer day under a shady tree —to be
read of an afternoon on the breezy porch
of a country-house. The illustrations,
. too, are fresh and striking. The type is
small, but so wonderfully clear, and im
pressed upon paper of so soft a tone, that
he whose eyes are injured thereby, must
; be already far on the road to blindness.
It is no slight satisfaction, moreover, to
know that a ]>ortion of the proceeds of
this edition goes to the author —giving the
reader the comfortable feeling that while
| he is enjoying the mazy plot and charin-
I ing style, he is not at the time an aceom
| plice in theft. "Dotnbey and Sou" is the
! sixth volume of this delightful edition,
| and is every way equal to its predecessors.

A TRIP TO EUROPE.
LETTER NO. IX.
\Stvit zerla nd— Waterfalls —Mountain
Scenes —Glaciers—The Jungfrau, etc.
UKXKVA, July 10, 1867.
We have spent alout a week in Switz
erland, the only republic in Europe. It
resembles America in its physical features
|as well as in its form of government. Its
; noble mountains and lakes are the boast
j and pride of its people, and so attached to
their native land that, it is said, when
ever any of them leave its borders they
are subject to a particular species of de
spondency or home-sickness, to which
j medical writers have given the name of
nostalgia.
After spending a night at Lucerne,
where we had a splendid view of the lake
!of the same name, and were treated to
some fine music by aSwiss band of thirty
five performers, we took a carriage, and
proceeded to Merringeu. Here we visited
a tremendous fissure in the mountains,
1 through which flows a bold and rapid
stream, and at night saw the Heichen
bach Falls illuminated with Bengal lights
of different hues. The next morning we
pushed on to Brienz, and crossed Lake
Brieriz to see the Falls of Giesbaeh, tlie
most beautiful fall of water we have yet
j seen.
On the afternoon of the 11th we arrived
at Interlaken, and from there proceeded
| toSauterbrunn to view the Stau bbach Falls.
This is a stream of water coining from
the top of a high mountain, the rocky
|sides of which rise perpendicularly for
nine liundred feet. Against these rocks the
stream falls, and is beaten into fine spray
| resembling dust —hence the name, Btaub
bacb, or "Dust-stream." Just beyond
i the falls other smaller streams flow over
the rocks, and farther on are the snow
| peaks of the Jungfrau and Broadhorn
' mountains.
As we passed along this route we were
met at every turn by persons, principally
I women and girls, having for sale the fine
; wood carvings for which the Swiss are so
celebrated. We frequently saw women,
also, manufacturing silk and linen lace
]of the most beautiful designs. At one
| point, between two high ranges of moun
tains, stood a man with an immense wood
en horn, ten feet in length. He blew sev
eral blasts upon it, which echoed and re
echoed along the mountain sides until
they died away on the highest (teaks like
the faint notes of a piano. At another
time we met a "Swiss boy," who hurl a
small piece*of iron tube filled with jmw
der. For a small consideration he touched
, a match to it, when an explosion like a
thousand pieces of cannon followed, caus
ing us all to jump several feet into the
air. The mountains on every side rever
berated with the echo, reminding one of
' Byron's description of a thunderstorm in
the Alps:
"Far along.
From peak to peak, the rattMng anions
Leap* the Mve thunder!—not from one loue cloud.
But every mountain now hath found a tongue;
And Jura answers through her misty ahroud,
i Hack to tiie Joyous Alp* who call to her aloud."
We next visited Grindlewald, celebra
ted for its two glaciers. These are great
bodies of ice at the foot of the mountain,
extending some distance up its side and
some distance into the plain. We entered
! the lower one by means of a passage way
hewn out of the solid ice. Being illumi
nated with oil lamps, this passage looked
like a cave of crystal. At some distance
ahead we heard the sound of musie, and,
j upon turning a curve, came upon a round
room in which were seated two women
{singing and playing on some kind ol
stringed instruments. We did not re
main long in this ice cavern, leaving as
soon as our curiosity was satisfied.
| We visited nearly all the above places
from Interlaken, making the Hotel de
Victoria our headquarters. This hotel is
j kept in the best manner, and is the first
house we have met with since leaving
home that contained a bible in the bed
rooms. From my window I had a grand
view of the mountains, the highest peak
of which was the Jungfrau. It is 13,671
feet above the sea level. We obtained a
near view of this mountain monarch on
one of our detours, and, while looking at
the sublime sight, a large eagle hovered
majestically over the summit.
We reached Geneva two days ago, and
are quartered in full view of the lake and
mountains, with "Mount Blanc" in the
dictanee. This is a clean, healthy look
ing town, and, thus far, I am much pleased
with it. I must defer further description,
however, till I write again,
i Yours, HANS.

i | more .lutable, better adapted for general use, and
( I more easily kept in order and repaired than any other
s watches in the market. They are simpler in struc
: ture, and therefore stronger, ami less likely to be in
i iui ed than the majority of foreign watches, which are
i ■ composed of .roin 125 to 300 pieces, while in an old

Gentlemen; flic watches manutactured by you have
been in use on this railroad for several years by our
enginem.-n. to wiiom we furnish watches as part of
our equipment. There are n.iw some liiree hundred
j.f them carruol on our line, and we consider them
good and reliable timekeepers. Indeed, 1 have great
-atislaetion m saying your watches give us less trou
-1 bie. and have worn and do wear much longer without
repairs than any watches e have ever had m use on
j ! this road. As you are aware, we formerly trusted to
| those of English manufacture, of acknowledged good
•' j reputation; but as a class they- never kept time as
' i correctly, imr have they done as good service as
e your*. In these statements I am sustained by my
*' j predecessor. Mr. Lewis, whose experience extended
" over a series of years. Respectfully,
EDWARD H "WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.

All of these, with tlie exception of the Home Watch

. to be of the best material, on the most approved

" timekeeper. Every dealer selling these watches is
j provided with the company's printed card of guaran
i ; tee, which should accompany each watch sold, 90
1 that buyers may feel sure that they are purchasing
lt I the genuine article. There are numerous counter
feits and imitations of our watches sold throughout
