TIRE FIRST GUN
On Thursday, the Bth lust, General
William 31.'Candless, our candidate for
Auditor General, visited Lebanon in
company. with sonic friends. Ile was re
ceived at the depot by Dr. A. 11. Light,
whose guest he was during his stay. In
the evening be was serenaded at the resi
dence of Dr. Light by the• Union Silver
Cornet Band, of Lebanon, which was ac
companied by a large crowd of citizens of
both parties, desirous of seeing the Gen
eral, as well as hearing his opinion on the
coestioii of the day. Repeated calls hav
ing been made for "McCandless," Capt.
Jacob Weidle, jr., introduced him to the
multitude in a neat speech, to which Gen.
11'Candless responded as follows:
LADIES •A ND GENTLEMEN : After the
eloquent speech of your townsman. Mr.
Wealle, I feel g reat aelicacv in addressing
yttn, khowing that no words I may utter
can convey with sufficient power the feel
ings of tn3' heart for roar kindness and
hospitality.
However, it seems that there are no
great pleasures unaccompanied by pain :
for, in reading ono of your newspapers
this morning, I find it copies from an ex
change and publishes an articles, which in
severe terms declares I was unfaithful to
my country in her hour of need.
, The originator of this mis-statement
has as little knowledge of the history of
his country as he has of my military sor
vices, or he would have known that Get
tysburg was the death-blow of the Con fed
eracv, and the Wilderness and Spottsylva
nia were the death-struggles of a lost
cause; and no pitched battle was fought
by the Potomac army after the last named
bloody contest.
My friends, to some of you who know
me not, it may be prOper to suv that I
had the honor to be engaged with the
Pennsylvania Reserves in every pitched
battle of the !Army of the Potomac, from
the Peninsula, under General McClellan,
to , Spottsylvania, tinder General Grant.
That I did my duty will be shown by
the reports of my superior officers on file
in the War Deparfment aye! more than
that, within the inmost recesses of the
hearts of my surviving comrades is in as
ured the recollection of many a hard
fought field, where, with the elbow touch,
we pressed where "death's Pang
was tpriew,sn,-, in maintain the union of
our Country and the honor of its flag.
I have said this much,{ because had ing
always beki a strenuous advocate 01 the
liberty of the press, I regret
debauch the
minds of its readers: by publications that
are figments of the imagination.
It is true that I have been nominated
for a highly honorable political station and
it is also true that this nomination was
unsought by me.
The newspaper pressof the Republican
party must make up its mind, that my
attention will not be distracted from the
line of advance mapped out, by any petty
demonstration it may make upon my
flank, by untruthful publications of the
military record of Captain Cooper or
my
self.
Your war•cry against Democaats, my
Radical friends, of - Copperheads," "Dis
loyalty," "Opposition to the Fundamental
Law as Amended," is silenced forever.
"It has gone where the woodbine twineth:
and in its place you bear the slogan of an
outraged people shouting
"Lochlel! Lochiel ! beivare of the day,
When the Lowland. thad meet you iu battle
This is the first gun fired in the grand
battle to be decided upon the second
Tuesday in October nest, the result' of
which will demonstrate to our gifted
President that the line upon which he has
been fighting, that of centralization of
power in the Federal Government, will
require a "new departure."
The Democracy of our State, like At tw
its of old, bas arisen stronger after every
fall o and now,-with the dead issues of the
past thrdwu in the.rear, advances, like a
modern Hercules, to strangle this serpent,
of centralization in its cradle.
:go more defensive campaigns iu this
contest at the feet of Radicalism. We
throw down the gauntlet of Democracy,
and charge upon them, that they hate
failed to equalize the bounty of the sold
iers, who 11r:warred the ee u try, veltilet
these wrecks of war can be seen, daily
begging their bread from door to door in
our great cities. This Radical, soldier
loving party, with reckless prodigality, is
giving away to greedy speculators, or
wealthy cdrporations, hundreds of millions
of-acres of the public domain, thel. tbese
men were crippled in preserving.
We charge, further, upon limlicalists,
that the incompetence of the civil admin
istration of the Government is only equal
ed by its corruptions.
That ourbotue industry is crushed, end
labor unemployed; whilst our commerce
is swept from the highway of nations, save
what is carried in foreign bottoms. And
lull! all; because there must be kept an
army of tax-gatherers who do the bidding
of tLeir masters, tad consume the Bubb
stanoe of the citizen.
Lat, my friends, and most ruinous of
all, we charge, that by the Federal Ku-
Klux legislation, our freedom of elections
is placed tinder the control, and regulated
solely by the will of the Federal kaecu
tive.
It is but little, over a year, since the
bayonets orthe Federal marines gleamed
around the Polls in Philadelphia. In that
city, where less than a century since our
liberties were declared, and foremost
among these &filmdom, wasthis—"that

Smelling Committee.%
The Congressional Committee' for the
investigation of Ku-Klux outrages, have
commenced operations. We see by Tues
day's despatches that they have been ex
amining the evidence from the. State of
Alabama. One of the witnesses, Janes
W. Clanton, testified that—
"He did not believe any . regular lin-
Klux organization •ever existed it .L.A-In
baina. He had heard of outrages in a'few
localities by disguised persons, but Ala

by members of the Radical party. " •

Thus it will be seen that there is—no

the charges made by the Radical press are
Furthermore the greater part of the
crimes committed there was by members

Judge Busteed and the Ru4ituk.
The Hon. Richard Busteed, United
States District Judge for Alabama, vs
examined by the Southern Outrage COM
mittee. In reply to a question .by the
chairman, be said be had been told confi
dentially, a year and a half ago, by a citi
zen of Huntsville, that there was a lin-
Klux organization in the northern part of
the State. His informa4, however, did
not tell him its object, nnr did he know
from any other source. He believed now
that there was -no such organization in
that Slate.
hating been asked whether there was
any danger to person or property, be re
plied that these were as sate as in any oth
er State of the Union.
Since the administration of Governor
Lindsay and the retirement of Governor
William 11. Smith, public quiet and tran
quility were essentially preserved.
As to the character of persons holding
subordinate official positions under the
Ile rata IL ran grin nl
lc notoriously bad, both as to intelligence
and hunesty. He bad been in the State
since 1865, having previously been appoint
ed judge by President Lincoln. There
had been no obstruction to the adminis
tration of the affairs of his office or the
laws of the land, except in one instance=
when the Republican auditor of his State
disobeyed the injunction of his court, for
which he was fined and imprisoned. '
The greatest respect was paid to the ju
dicial authority by lawyers, senators and
jurors, and all -other parties. With re
gard to the feelings of the people toward
the General Government, he thought' it
was to obey the laws, however obnoxious
they were, although there wasudeep seat
ed conviction that they were not equal
and impartial. Having been questioned
as to the testimony of the Rev. Mr. Lakin,
parts of which were read to him, he said
it was entiftly untrue.
Lakin had represented that thirty-three
indictments had been found in Busteed's
court for violation of the civil rights bill,
mid had been tried, but the truth was that
only one indictment had been found, and
that. had not been tried. On ex-parte in
quiry it appeared to be a serious case. Lak
in is a man who is apt to make wild state
ments without accurate basis. He had
charged the jdry always to obey the laws
however distateful, as it was within the
I power of Congress to enact them, and it
I was for the best - interests of the commnui
ty to respect them.
Failures.
From many quarters, says the New York
iflrc.antile :Journal, come reports that
in.rchants are not making reasonable
, profits. The number of failures has in
unruc it year sham itters. What a
commentary is this on the efforts of blind
partizacs to prove that the management
of the finances is all it should be! No
Congressional flights of rhetoric, no
I shrewdly drawn Treasury statements, can
hide the fact that the Treasury policy of
heavy taxation fur the purpose of paying
! off the national debt at a premium has
been accompanied by a growing dullness
of trade, and by increasing embarrass
ment of business operations. Fluctuating
currency, uncertainty in modes and rates
lot tax lei ies, etc., have heightened this re
suit. Many men have become bankrupt,
by uo fault of their own, till politicaland
even social discontent are spreading, and
it is gravely questioned how far this state
of things will go.
The financial difficulties which finally
end in failures, can only be overcome or

Asvitil Coolie Ship Disaster.
A San Franciseci special gives the par , :
ticulars of the burning of the ship Don
Juan, which left Macao, on May 4th, with
a cargo of Coolies for Peru. The Don
Juan loaded at Macao, taking six hundred
and fifty Coolies on board fur Peru, and
on the sth was lauded to the water's edge
not more than fifty miles from- Hong
• Kong. The Coolies,who have arrived in
Hong Kong, all aver that the treatment
was humane and they had nothing what
everi to complain of either as to the allow.
once of food or the quantity or quality,
and the whole adhir was simply accidental.
The other view in the question, namely,
that the vessel was set on tire by design
ing men among the Chinese, is not
im
possible. One of the men distinctly avers
that he heard au explosion of gunpowder
aft, also smelt a strong sine!l of it. Oth
ers again say they did not heurany report;
that they were nearly overpowered by the
sickenening smelkof the ship's material
burning aft. It Is to be regretted that
the European who had the humanity to
„open the hatches did not succeed in say
ing his own life, as he was overtaken by
the Coolies, who made a rush at the boat
waiting fur him, and a general scramble ,
occurred to get to It, the Europeans using
arms to prevent the Coolies getting into,
it. In this 'scramble several Chinese were
drowned. The boat, however, ultimately'
succeeded in getting 'clear of the ship,
but had 'not gone far when it upset in
sight of Irritone within reach of the Coot
ies. The Coolies then seem to heve had
a little leisure to look around, when they
observed this,other three boats at a dis

The Grass Crop.
In talking with farmers whom we have seen
in this vicinity, a very doleful aspect is presented
in reference to the coming hay crop. blany of
them say that the time is out of mind when
their fields have been so lightly burdened with
grass. Emile have plowed their meadows as far
as time would admit and sowed them with
corn and buckwheat to supply the deficiency.
The great lack of rain through April, May and
the fdrepart of June is the cause. As if to make
the failure doubly certain, an unwonted ;army of
grasshoppers are making their appearance
The later rain, however, is doing much toward
improving the prospects, MO the season is too
far spent to warrantbut a very light crop of hay.
But fur considerable old hay in different local.
hies the prospects fof the corning Winter would
be more alarming.

Railroad Termination.
The Delaware, Lackawana & Western Rail
road have been sometime considering the sub
ject of locating a terminus for the several
branches of their milrond in this vicinity.
Binghamton is the proper place, and they have
been trying to bargain for the Spaulding House
property. We are told, says the Binghamton
Leader, they have offered 00000 but the pro
prietor fixes his price at >➢80,000: The D. L.
& It company think this too much, arid
have been talking of locating the- terminus of
their mads_atChenango Forks, where they have
been offered - all the land 'they' may need for
nothing. Wherever the terminus is fixed a re,
pair und other shops will be located, and it
would be a grand thing for Chenango Forks, or
any place. If Chenango-Forks should be select
ed, trains would be made up and lay aver at
that place, and Binghamton would be a way
station of those roads. But we think the term
inus will be at Binghamton, Whether they buy
the 'Spaulding Rouse or not.

Another Fire.
A are broke out in the stable and carriage
house of 31r. M. L. Hervey, 63 Oak street, Bing
hamton, at about 11 o'clock Thursday night
last. The buildings were consumed, and three
horses were burned to death. Another home
was out of the stable, and is alive. With this
exception the property, including carriages, etc..
was wholly destroyed. The firemen came very
promptly ; bet their efforts 'were futile ; the
rapidity of the fire rendered the employment
of water entirely useless.
The losses will amount, it is estimated, to
$2,500; or something more. This will be ex
