Jfcadfotd jUjwrtct.
Towanda, Thursday, November 29,1866.
J®* THE fact most clearly and conclu
sively demonstrated by the occurrences of
the past few years, is, that the masses have
beeu ahead cf the leaders, in advocating
and demandiug the adoption of those great
principles of Iluman Rights and Equality,
which are now so near their final triumph.
Whilst those in power have held back, the
people have steadily progressed, until they
have brought public men up to their stand
ard. The wheels of progress never go
backward—the hands on the dial of Truth
and Right never stand still. And the peo
ple now expect that the men chosen to give
shape and consistency to their views and
desires, shall be selected from those who
have stood in no doubtful attitude in the
past—but beiug deeply imbued with the
popular demands, will heartily and zealous
ly co-operate in those great measures of
legislation, which are necessary for the fu
ture welfare of the country, the success of
which have been secured at such a great
sacrifice of blood and treasure. In the
election of a U. S. Senator, this is particu
lar demanded—that the man elected should
be one who has been identified with the
popular feeling during the discussions of
the past—who has stood in no uncertain or
hesitating position—but who, on the con
trary is a representative man, and whose
election will be regarded throughout the
country, as due to his advanced views, and
recognized servie s in the cause of Univer
sal Freedom.
HORACE GREELEY, announces that
he is a candidate for U. S. Senator from
New York. The New York Times and
Herald both favor his election. We have
no doubt he will be chosen, on account of
his great services in the popular cause. He
will be sadly out of place,in that body, judg
ing from his Congressional career, which
was a total failure, so far as practical re
salts were concerned. Mr. GREELEY'S place
is in the editorial sanctum of the Tribune,
advocating those great principles which he
unquestionably has to much at heart.—
When he attempts to advise as to the prac
tical application of those measures, he
makes himself ridiculous by the unpracti
cal nature of his propositions —which often
times are not onty impossible, but mis
chievous.
CONGRESS meets on Monday next. The
President's Message is already in type, and
will be forwarded to the newspapers in the
principal cities in advance of its delivery.
It is looked for with very little interest, as
the country has given up all hope of AX
DREW JOHNSON'S acting reasonably, and it
is of very little consequence what he wants
or says. He will probably again " swing
round the circle" and leave the Constitu
tion and the Hag, " with thirty-six stars
onto it," (as NASBY says,) in the hands of
Congress, which will be the most sensible
thing he can do.
A. J. GERRITSON, editor of the Mon
trose Democrat has beeu appointed Asses
sor for the 12th district iu the place of W.
H. JESSCP, removed. Mr. J. has discharg
ed the duties with rare judgment and fidel
ity, but ho has declined to apostatize in fa
vor of " my policy."
The selection of Mr. GERRITSON as the re
cipient of favors from the Administration
is eminently proper. The Democrat of which
he is the editor is one of the most intensely
virulent Copperhead papers in the State.
In fact, at times it has beeen so thoroughly
saturated with poison, and so malignant in
its demonstrations, that its friends became
nervously anxious lest it should bite itself.
Its columns have probably contained more
foul abuse of ANDY JOHNSON and more dis
loyalty generally than any other paper in
the State. Nothing but its insignificaance
has prevented its being squelched by pop
ular indignation.
Now that the Administration is striving
to show how deep it can dive, and how
muddy it can come up, it is peculiarly ap
propriate that such displays of its nasti
ness should be made. If there is a "John
son Republican " in the 12th District, we
felicitate him upon this disposal of govern
ment patronage.
THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. —It is under
stood that the Secretary of the Treasury
will devote considerable attention in his
forthcoming report to the question of re
sumption of specie payments. He will un
doubtedly ask for further power to fund
the floating and non-interest bearing obli
gations of the Government, and will like
wise urge a more concentrated system of
redemption of national bank notes as a
uecessary preliminary to a resumption of
specie payments. Mr. MeCulloch thinks,
with proper legislation, he may return to a
specie standard within eighteen mouths.
On the other hand, it is known to be the
opinion of many leading bankers in the
country that with one hundred millions of
gold in the Treasury specie payments may
be resumed within ninety days. And they
argue that the entire security and great
diversity of the circulation of the Nation
al Rank notes is one of the most potent ele
ments to aid a resumption, and that the
system of redemption should not, therefore,
be more stringent than it now is, but, on
the contrary, if any change be made, that
it should be relaxed. This question will
; force itself upon the early attention of Con
gress, and will prove one of the most im
portant of the session.
IST 1 A Texas paper is authority for the
statement that General Grant has rocog
nized the nullification of his General Order
authorized military commauders to arrest
persons charged with certain offenses,when
the civil courts refused to act. If this be
so, it will still further unsettle the security
!of the Freedmen. We hear from Tennes
see that in White County no colored person
1 can have a fair trial, when a white man is
| his opponent.
WELCOME TO CONGRESS. —It is proposed by
the Soldiers' and Sailors' Uniou, of Wash
ington City, to give a grand welcome to
Congress on Saturday the Ist of Decem
ber. To this end a call has been issued by
a Committee appointed by the Union, in
viting the veterans of the Republic, and
all other friends of the cause of Union and
liberty,to meet on that day in Washington,
in a national mass welcome and council.—
" The necessity of preserving the results
gained in the field, and more recently at
the polls," and "to encourage and strength
en Congress to such just action as will
make peace permanent and liberty univer
sal," is the reason given for this demonstra
tion, and a grand time is anticipated.
A WARNING TO OFFCE SEEKERS. —The pub
lication is made, by authority, iu the Na
tional Republican, that "the President is
necessarily engaged upon important pub
lic matters, preparatory to the early assem
bling of Congress, and will have no time,
until after the meeting of that body, to
give the slightest attention to applicants
for office. All such matters are referred to
the heads of the different Departments.
Office-seekers and their friends can save
themselves much time, labor and expense
by acting upon the above hint, and will're
lieve the President from the unpleasant ne
cessity of declining to entertain and exam
ine their applications. It is a physical
impossibility for him to prepare his mes
sage and at the same time transact the de
tail business appropriately belonging to
his Cabinet Ministers."
EUROPE. —We have dispatches by Ocean
Telegraph to Nov. 25. The British Royal
Commission on the Neutrality laws will
soon commence its sessions. There are
vague reports that twenty militia regiments
are to be sent over to Ireland to prevent
Fenian uprisings.
It is rumored that the Imperial Commis
sion on the reorganization of the French
army will report in favor of the Prussian
system.
The condition of the "Mexican Empire"
is the leading topic in England and on the
Continent. The health of the Princess Char
lotte remains the same.
The Deak party in Hungary have petit
ioned Francis Joseph for the restoration of
the laws of 1848.
UST" The Meadville (Penu.) Republican
denies the statement that there is but one
soldier of the Revolution living, and says
that there is in Sandusky,Cataraugus Coun
ty, N. Y., an old Revolutionary soldier,
Matthias Barkeman by name, who draws
pension from Government. He was born
iu x 755, and is therefore now 111 years old.
His wife, who was one year younger than
himself, died about three years ago ; and
his daughter, fourscore years and more,
keeps house for him. The old man enjoys
remarkably good health for one of such ad
vanced years, and walks to the village,half
a mile from his residence, every two or
three days. On each Fourth of July he
takes his old fowling-piece, and goes out
into the fields, where he blazes away a sa
lute in honor of Independence Day.
MEXICO. —We have from Washington offi
cial Mexican news that the French have
lost the entire State of Puebla,keeping only
the line of the main road from Vera Cruz to
the City of Mexico, aud this the victories of
Gen. Diaz render liable to be cut off at any
moment. The agreement by which the gar
rison of Oaxaso was surrendered to Gen.
Diaz is given in our dispatches.
SURVEYOR OF THE PORT OF PHILADELPHIA.—
The President has appointed J. >. SEVERXS
Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia, in the
place of E. REED MYEB resigned. SEVERXS
is one of the very worst specimens of a
Copperhead without reputation to redeem
his political heresies.
BURLINGTON, Bradford Co., Penn'a. I
November 26, 1860. )
MB. EDITOR :—I am much pleased with your
comments in the last REI'OUTEB on the question of
U. S. Senator, and especially with the preference
you express for General CAMERON. The Union
men of the State are alive on this subject, and the
pervading sentiment is, that the safest is the best
man. COWAN'S base treachery has excited suspi
cion of that style of men, and less brilliancy, and
more steadfastness of character, is demanded for
the future. While I would not, by word or deed,
disparage Governor CVUTIN'S eminent talents, and
great services, I can not but consider him less fit
ted for Senator, in the present juncture, than his
rival, General CAMERON ; and this not because six
months ago we did not know where the Governor
stood on the main political issues of the day, but
because vacillation is an inherent weakness of his
nature, as it is with almost all men of his showy
and plausible characteiistics. Such men, as a
rale, are never so constant, never so effective, nev
er so successful, as the more quiet, less glittering,
yet more persevering workers of the CAMERON
school. Our own political history is full of illus
trations demonstrating this, and every man of ex
perience aud observation, has seen it proven in
every relation of human life. Aside too, from the
great reliability of General CAMERON, is the fact,
that he alone, of all the statesmen at the head of
the Government, when preparations were making
to resist the rebels, tnlly comprehended the mag
nitude of our difficulties, showing a far-reaching,
practical sagacity eminently fitting him for the
present trying emergencies of our party and the
government. Yours truly,
G.
BaT" Since the recent additions made to
JefT. Davis' quarters in Carrol Hall, and
the removal ot Mrs. Davis aud her sister
to the rooms prepared for them, he has be
come remarkably cheerful. His health has
much improved of late, and he is said to
speak very confidently of being released.
Relatives and fiiends from all parts of the
South are constantly arriving, entering the
fort at pleasure, and departing almost un
observed. The Adams Express Company
are in constant receipt of packages and
presents for Davis, furnished by his sym

"CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS."—
Gin. Cameron (says the Willimnsport Bulle
tin,) was the first Cabinet Minister who in* i
sisted upon employing the negroes to aid
in putting down the rebellion. At that
time, President Lincoln thought it nnnec
essary, and the timid men around him
thought the people would not approve the.
measure; so Gen. Cameron's report was
curtailed and the best part of it knocked
oil'. lie never changed his opinions, but
the Administration came to him. Now
that he is again before the people as a
candidate for Senator, his sagacity in that
celebrated report is doing him more good
than any other act of his political life. He
cast liis bread upon the waters, and is find
ing t after "many days." Gen. Butler, in
a recent sp. . eh, said:
"I ' January, 1861, Gen. Cameron, then
S-eiv; ry of War, put in his report the
assertion that the slaves ought to be em
ployed as soldiers agaiust their masters,
and immediately the cry was raised all
over the country, 'Why, this is a white
man's war ; no negroes should be employed
iu this way ; it ought to be fought out by
white men. It is a white man's quarrel
solely. The negroes don't know enough to
be soldiers ; they do not know enough to
kill men. Mr. Cameron had to leave Mr.
Lincoln's Cabinet because of that report
and go to Russia."'
jgstf- On Friday night of last week a band
of seven or eight men raided upon McLeod's
Station, about twenty miles beyond Bowl
ing Green, on the Memphis branch road,
and plundered the store of Mr. Watson.
In retracing their way a young lady was
grasped by one of them, and threatened
with instant death if she did not tell them
where they could find the balance of Wat
son's money. Though fast in the grip of
the ruffian anil a pistol at her head, she
steadily refused to disclose the secret. The
robber was so abashed by her first deport
ment, that he relinquished his hold and
passed on. The girl at the time held in
her dress-sleeve $2OO or $3OO of the covet
ed money. The rogues were white men
disguised as negroes.
fs%&* The Baltimore Sun says that the
Antietam National Cemetery, at Sharps
burgh, is rapidly approaching completion.
The substantial walls of dressed limestone
are receiving their ponderous coping, and
present a workmanlike and artistic appear
ance The remains of upward of twelve
hundred bodies have been exhumed and re
interred by the detachment of the United
States burial corps on duty, and their la
bors still continue. Mr. Aaron Good, a
citizen of Sharpsburg, immediately after
the battle of Autietam, with commendable
public spirit, made a very complete record
and chart of the graves of the fallen of
both armies, and renders valuable assist
ance to the corps.
HORRHU.E ACCIDENT IN ONEIDA COUNTY—A
WOMAN TORN IN PIECES ALONG THE ROAD.—
The Utioa papers give the particulars of a
runaway accident that occurred at Holland
Patent, II miles north of Utica, last Sat
urday afternoon. Mrs.Ward,wife of Nathan
iel Ward, jr., a most estimable woman, and
the center of an affectionate family circle,
started with her little boy to attend the
meeting of the Baptist Church at the Patent,
where she was to meet her husband and
daughter. After going a little way the
horse became restive, when the little boy
became frightened and returned home.—
Soon afterward the vicious beast became
unmanageable and started to run. Mrs.
Ward, in attemping to jump, caught her
hoop-skirt on the springs, and was thus
dragged a mile and a half over a rough
and stony read. She finally became disen
tangled, and was found most horribly torn
and lacerated, and life nearly extinct. Her
clothing was scattered along the road, anil
even her shoes and stockings were torn
from her feet. One arm and one limb brok
en. her head nearly scalped, and the llesh
in several places torn to the bones, tell
how great must have been the sufferings
of the unfortunate victim. Death soon re
lieved her sufferings.
APPI.ES AFLOAT. The, Rochester Express
of Tuesday says: "The apple crop of
Western New-York is very late in getting
to market this Fall. Immense quantities
of apples are still afloat upon canals, and
can hardly reach the Hudson before the
last days of the month, and they may be
nipped by Jack Frost before they get to
their destination. On Sunday afternoon
there was no less than 23,000 barrels of
apples afloat at and near Middleport, Niag
ara County. There are also large quanti
ties of potatoes afloat. Buyers estimate
that there are fully 100,000 barrels of ap
ples and potatoes on the canal west of the
Palmyra breach."
THE HON. THADDEUS STEVENS. —We under

the people of Pennsylvania but of every

GREAT SECRET EXPOSED!
Yielded at last to th wishes of friends. Time and
again has the lollowing proposition been made; but
never exposed until the present.
FIVE YEARS AX VNREVEALED SECRET '
NERVE YOURSELF FOR THE SHOCK !
First proposition to be made public :
FRIEND NELSON :—First, 1 would say, according to
the best calculations, in the Bsrongli of Towanda, there
is sold yearly one hundred thousand dollars worth of
Boots and Shoes,mostly slop work of the most inferior
kind, and the people generally are sick of it. And now
1 say to your again, as 1 have before,enlarge your Store,
make it neat and commodious, and keep a good stock ol
Books and Shoes, and you shall be sustained. Most of
the people begin to feel a little above buying their boots
and shoes at Dry Goods Stores ; it looks verdant and
outlandish. Ge do not ask to make y ur goods if it is
not convenient. The facilities iu some other localities,
where a better eh )ice of sto i k and workmen can be had,
may be still better And you have always bteo in the
business, and better understand this one point and im
portant branch of the Merchant's art, t!iin those that
deal in Silks and Muslins, and they, I believe, would be
glad to let this business go where it belongs ; that they
have done it heretofore to accomodate the people ; 1 do
believe it you would opeu a first-class Shoe Store the
people would not go to Dry Goods Stores to buy Shoes ,
any more than they would to Drugstores for Oats.
Stop, stop! what are you talking about ? has not any
one the right to sell what he pleases? It may be, but
not in justice is it right, in so large a place as this .where
practical men are engaged wholly in this business. It
Las been given up iu every other place, and according
to custom it will be here.
Two thousand five hundred propositions made from
customers, is, to bring more ; of the same kind of Boots
and Shoes you brought with you when you came in town
seven years ago. I have never seen a good Shoe before
nor since, is the language of them all at the same time.
Raise thy l'eet gently
And think it so queer
That the Boots 1 sold then
Should wear tbera a year.
I now yield to the above propositions, and have prom
ised to sell Twenty-live Thousand Dollars worth ol his
Boots and Shoes if he would make them as good as
those I brought here seven years ago. and the answer is
I will ! I will!
Well friends, yonr proposition made
And I've consented to the trade,
So I will sell you Shoes both strong and neat,
To please the taste and suit the feet.
I have Ladies,' Misses', Boys' and Mens',
From fancy down to coarse brogaus,
Come one and all, do as you agree,
And buy your Boots and'shoes of me.
Come! Come! Xsay, where you can find
Boots exactly to y jur mind ;
A d if you was never here before,
You'll Cud it is the very Store,
Come Ladies, Gents, I have goods for all.
Buy your goods of me this Fall,
And when Spring comes I will the cry,
" At L. C. NELSON'S 1 will buy!"
There is one thing more I'll siy to you,
I'm in the old Store made over new ;
If any read, and stand the shock,
My place you'll find joins Pattern's Block.
