The Republican Meeting.
How calling to Democracy must have been
the contract between the meeting of their own
party, on Monday, and that of the Republi
cans' ht the Court JIou? on Tuesday evening.
For the success of the former every thing scem
(d to operate. The meeting was noticed in the
Democrat and the speakers announced for sev
eral weeks? ; it was to be held on the first day of
Court and the murder at the Wator Gap drew
crowds to town to sec the murderers, and yet
the meetinsr, was in every Feme of the word a
failure. It lacked r.umkrs, it lacked interest
and it lacked enthusiasm. Against the suc
cess of the latter, every thing save the interest
of the people appeared to militate. It was not
known but fourdavs beforehand thattfie meet
ing would be held, and hand-bills put up on
Mcnday wa so rapidly torn down by the iun-
tcrrilkd," that the public had hardly a chance
to read them, and yet it was, in every particu
lar a complete success. The Court House va.-
never so closely packed with eager listeners,
while the pavement surrounding it was crow
ded with hundreds anxious to get in and hear.
The Speakers were men who had their hearts
in the work, and justice for their themes; and
such speaking and such enthusiasm arc seldom
heard or seen as was hoard and seen in the
Court House on Tuesday evening. The first
speaker was the Hon. A. n. Cragin, U. S. Sen
ator, of New Hampshire. We will not attempt
even a synopsis of his masterly production.
We cannot but regret that his speech as cut
short, by the nwesfity which required hint to
take the cars to meet an engagement at Mos
cow on Wednesday. Would that even- man
woman and ehild in the County could have
heard him. But the seed he scattered was not
sown on barren ground. Intelligent men from
all sections of the County heard him. and the
good things he said will go from mouth to
mouth, and cannot but produce fruit at the
coming Election.
Mr. Cragin, was followed by Col. Wm. II
Armstrong and Wm. H. Thompson, Esq. of
Easton, both of whom acquitted themselves no
bly in response to calls made upon them. Bot
are excellent speakers, who will be gladly wel
coined by the sturdy Republicans of Monroe,
whenever they can made it convenient to put
in an appearance in our mid?t.
The meeting was a real earnest of the spiri
of our" Republicans; and judging from it, and
from the enthusiasm manifest on all sides, we
think we may safely Fay to our friends abroa
that even here, in lxmighted Monroe, the fkie
are burning brightly for CJrant, Colfax, Hart
ranft & Campbell and the Union. We arc sat
isfied that we have only to work to surprise
both ourselves and our opponents with the re
sult.
The following were the ofliccra of the meet
ing:
President, Edward L. Wolf; Vice Presidents
Jacob II. Fethennan, Wm. II. Einehart, Si
mon (J ruber, Wilson Kistlcr, Perry Price, Jno.
V. Shoemaker and E. R. Gearhart ; Secreta

Burglary.
On Tiiursday night last an attempt was
made to rob J. S, Williams &, Co's. Liquor
Store. The Burglars effected an entrance
into the cellar of the building, but did not
succeed in getting further, and failed to se
cure any valuables.
On ihc same night Matlack's Hardware
Store was broken info, and an over-coat, a
lot of chisels, a lot of cutllery and several
dollars in money taken. The articles sto
len were found, on Friday, in the possession
of the Water Gap murderers.

had a queer way of showing itself on Mon
day. It operated very peculiarly, sprei

The Democratic IJeetiii
Of all the grand fizzles that our County
ever witnessed, the meetings of the Democ
racy, on Monday last, afternoon and evening-,
were the grandest. Notwithstanding that
till sheet handbills were printed on "our
power press, and scattered far and wide
through the county, and notwithstanding the
Monroe 'Democrat' published the announce
ment for weeks, and promised that Mont
gomcry Blair, Senator Buckalew, and Gen.
W. II. II. Davis, would address the meeting,
and the Williamsburg Band discourse clo
qucnt music for the entainment of those pre-
sent, the meeting was a failure a dead
cat, view it in whatever light you chose.
With all the advantages of a first day of
Court, and the additional ndvantage of a
large crowd in town, drawn hither by cu
riosity, to see the murderers confined in our
jail, and with tne best kind of a day for a
meeting the gatharwg of the Democracy
was still a failure. There were enough
people in town to have made a monster meet
ing, but the mass of the people appeared to
feel no interest in Democracy, and kept a-
way from the Court House.
The Hon. Montgomery Blair, and Gen.
Davis, were the only ppeakers from abroad
present. The former addressed the meciing
in the forenoon, and the latter in the even
ing; and from the manner in which they
labored, and the spirit in which their re
marks were received, it was ctident that
Democracy in th-s campaign is an up-hill
business. Sad, indeed, will be the story of
the prospect in Monroe, these men will tell
to the brethern abroad, if they found their
story on the enthusiasm with which they
themselves and their remarks were received
The Williamsburg Band did not make its
appearance, because, as one of its members
said, "this thing of playing for Democratic
Meetings, for nothing, is played out."
If votes were made, or Democratic opin
ions were confirmed by the speeches on Mon
day, we arc much mistaken in the materia
which composes even a Monroe county
Democratic meeting. The fizzle, we regret
to say, so disconcerted our neighbor of the
"Democrat" that he took to his hole at the
commencement of ihc meeting in the after
norm, and did not show himself again unti
about the close of the meeting, in the even
inj. Even the dnlcit strains of the Tanncrs-
vil'e base drum could not draw him out.
While Gen. Grant was in command at
Cario in 18G2 C-i, he incurred the dead
Iy hostility of the army contractors by his
attempt to stop waste and extravagance
and introduce square and honest man
agenieot. In a letter to the Chief Qar
termaster. Department of Missouri, dated
January o, Ibli2, he says :
'Extravagance seem to be tbe order
of the day, and now that I am investigat
ing every department, and all that ia done
here, I find that contracts are not given
to the lowest bidders. There is probably
some explanation that can be given, such
as bids being put in informally, raising
more from ignorance than any other
cause. I would recommend that Capt
Baxter, Actiug Quarmaster, now Pur
chasing Quartermaster here, be allowed
to purchase in open market until the
atmosphere is purified somewhat. This
is not applicable to Cario alone, but to
Puducah also. I do not know the merits
of the contracts as given, but I do know
that 20 per cent, can be saved to the
Government by annulling present con
tracts, made without my knowledge, and
adopting the purchasing system.
If contracts must be made, I would
suggest the plan of receiving bids for any
amount ot corn, oats or hay that any bid
der might propose furnishiug. This plan
would enable the farmer to bid for his
crop, without haviug it pass through the
hands ot speculators.

Hon. Leonard Myers, in a speech in Phil
adelphia on Tuesday evening, made the
following statement: "The vilest thing
yet is tha attempt to fasten on "Genera
Grant the respon sibility for the starvation
of our prisoners, and to do it they call on
the rebel General Ould, who even inti
mates that their prisoners were treated no
better. Now, I wantyour attention to a
statement which has never before been
made public. When Jtff. Thompson the
rebel, was exchanged, he passed through

man ; he had been treated by us with
great kindness, and he waited upon Jef
ferson Davis to beg better conduct toward
our prisoners. .Davis replied: We can
kill them that tcay much quicker than in

was fed on fried oysters : has been cheered
in England by oar 'free trade' friends,
and stands about as much chance of

their next witness.

A WATER GAP TRAGEDY I
One mail slain and another seriously
wounded I A community in arms to
arrest the perpetrators 1 Unbounded
excitement !
Dei. Watku Gap, Saturday Sept. 2G.
About half past ten o'clock in the forenoon
of yesterday, Friday, a terrible occurrence took
place, on the public highway a few rods below
the Kittatmny House, Delaware Water Gap.
A few minutes after that time a man came rush
ing up to the village of Dutotjurg calling for
help to go to the mountains in search of two
strange mea who, he said, had shot and mor
tally wounded Theodore and Thomas Brod
head. Very soon the road leading to the scene
was thronged with men hastening with any
weapons they could command, to avenge the
blood of their fellow citizens. Your correspon
dent was among thai number. Reaching the
ppot there was a terrible picture to behold.
There lay the lifeless form of Theodore Brod
head. A ball had pierced his side and the as-
sins had done their work to him.
Thomas Brodhead sat, bleeding, his face al
most entirely covered with blood and wounds,
He was fctill able to sneak. The murderers
had perpetrated their fiendish deed and fie
down the road towards the mountains. Armei
men, at once, organized themselves into squads
and set off, in various directions, to head off
the wretches. Everv man iu the neighlxirhood
in less than one hour was on the pursuit. S
thoroughly and so quickly was the chase com
menccd that in two hours time the fellows found
themselves so cornered that thev left the moun
tains and were discovered making for the we.-
side of Cherry creek. The creek chanced to be
bank full and one of the men came very r.ear
swamping in endeavoring to cross. At length
thev were hemmed in on the opposite side of
the creek in a small strip of woods near the
place of Mr. Alsop. At this point they seem
ed, ht first, inclined to show fight by pointing
a pistol, but the Sheriff coming up, and finding
themseves surrounded, they came out of the
thicket, facing the guns pointed at them, and
cave themselves up. Thev were now taken to
the village, tae crowd increasing with every
moment. "When I first saw the criminals I
remarked that thev had a younger appearance
than I expected. Some person in the crowd
observed that, " they will not get much older."
At the village Judge Lynch was loudly and
repeatedly called for, and it was with the very
utmost exertion that the Sheriff kept the peo
nle from tearing them awav from him and
hanging or shooting them on the Fpot. There
i no doubt that if they had been taken by any
other party in search of them they would have
been dead men forthwith.
On searching them it was found they thrown
away their pistols and had very little alnmt
their persons, except some poekct knives, sto
len from a hardware f-torv in Stroudshurg the
night before. Soon after their arrest a carpet
bag was brought In from the mountains which
they had thrown away in their ilight and
which contained various utensils e'.ieh as pro
fessional burglars usually carry. At length
they were marched off towards Stroudsburg
jail, an armed band of citizens accompanying
the Sheriff determined they should be well se
cured. The fellows gave their name as William
Brooks and Charles Ormc, one a Scotch and
the other an Englishman. It seems they came
down the rail road from Stroudsburg and, just
above V'ater Gap, seeing a village, nestled a
gainst the hills, thought there might Ik? a spec
ulation there suitable to their occupation, aim
ed for it. Coming up to the Brainard House
kept by Thoma-s Brodhead, they went in and
called for something to drink, calling in two
or three people of the place who chanced to be
there. Mr. Brodhead was not at home at this
tune. It is supposed they Hurveyed the prem
ises and determined to rob the place as soon as
opportunity ofiered. All others having stepp
ed out, thev broke open the drawer, took the
contents of monoy, some eight or ten dollars,
a;ul Jelt. 1 nomas JSrodhend, coming home
soon alter, lounu that there had been thieves
in his bar. and after inmiirv trot a description
of these men, found thev bad gone towards the
- - . . . .
Gap and set out in pursuit of them, taking his
orother lhcodore with Jinn and some two or
three others. As it was about train time it was
thought best to go by way of the depot. It
was found they had not been there and he and
Theodore continued their walk towards the
Gap, none of the other men accompanying.
Arriving at the Kittatinny House they found
two of the men who had beem with the strange
ones at Thomas's and learned that the two he
was after had just gone towards the Gap. lie
and Theodore fuilowed on when just below the
stables they caught sight of the thieve. Thom
as hurntHl on, running, got before them, and,
taking hold of them, tolel them they had rob
Ied his money drawer and must fro back w ith
him. At fift tbe'V refused, threw some i:inev
down bv the side of the road and told him then
was all thev had. Thev afterwards pretended
to be willing to go back and stepping siside a
pace or two one of thera drew a pistol aiming
at Theodore, ivs he w as approaching. Theo
dore KihL, "you letter not shoot" or, "you dare
not hoot" when he drew the weaixm on Thom
as the ball taking effect in a thick package of
letters in his coat pocket and thus saving his
life. Immediately the revolver was drawn on
Theodore again ami he fell, the ball entering
his right side, passing througli loth lungs, the
heart and almost severing the main blood chan
nel through the heart. After the fir-t shot
Thomas, supposing himself mortally wounded,
sprung for his adversary, determined to hold
him till help arrived, as he was calling mur
der" at the top of his voice. Whilst thus in
close contest one or more shots were fired which
merely grared his head bv watchful dodging.
The men were continually prompting each
other on in their deadly work when it was
found their pistols were empty. With these
they then hammered his head until one told
the other to get a stone and pound out Ids
brain. Weakened and over-powered. Thomas.
at last, released his hold when the murderer
ran rapidly down the road leading through the
Gap.
At tin writing Thomas is not thought to be
dangerously wounded. The excitement is in
tense. Our quiet community was never start
ed with an affair so tragic and bo ad.

Mr. Schoch :
The funeral of Theodore Brodhead
took place to-day at the Church of the Moun
tains. Although the day was wet and unpleas
ant yet the Church could not hold the congre
gated mass of people that assembled. That a
fellow citizen had been cut down, without a
moment's warning, by the hands of two un
known wretches, was terrible news to the minds
of a peaceable community. It ia a sad lesson
of the treachery and awful depravity that may
enkindle in the human heart to be exposed in
loodshed and in murder I What a sad spirit
of suspicion such an ev ent must produce, in any
community, on the minds of the people, caus
ing them to look upon strangers with great dis
trust, and interrupting that spirit of brother
hood and humanity which all good men desire
to see on the increase, and for which they pray.
The funeral services were very impressive;
conducted by Rev. Messrs Pierce, Everitt and
itts, A train of carriage a mile in length
formed the proce-ion to the grave. The re
mains were interetl at Shawnee. A. B. B.

Sept. 29th, 18G8.
To the Editor of the Jeffersonian:
I am informed, through a reliable source,
that a certain portion of the Democracy met
on Saturdny last, in our quiet little village.
to make a fljg to be borne by them to the
jrrcat Democratic charivari held in your
town yesterday afternoon. These men were
the leading men of the Democracy of one of
the Townships of the County of Monroe;
and they are men who arrogate to themselves
the privilege of giving advice to their neigh
bors, and othen, who they think stand infe
rior to them in the knowledge of political af
fairs; and they arc the men who despite the
soldier.
I am sorry yea, more I am sslnnicd to
say that among sll prc-sent.tiot a single man
of them wasacquainted with the colors which
are comprised in the flag of our country
that glorious banner which, unfurled in the
days of the immortal Washington, has been
carried and protected to the present day ; the
same "broad stripes and bright stars," which
was borne by Gen. U. S. Grant against
the strongholds ot Kebclion, up to the surren
dcr of that grand conglomeration of Democ
racy, Lee and his army, and which ended the
war: It appears that theseso called Demo
crats knew no stars and stripes either before
the rebellion, or afterward-, up to the pres
ent time; but the stars and bars were stil
ripe in their memories, as I shall presently
cnJcavor to show.
Having purchased the material andasscm
bled togeihtr, these Democratic wiseacres
proceded with their endeavors to make the
to them unknown, flag. After laboring for
some time, they got together a something,
which, I doubt not sent a thrill of joy throng
I heir Democratic hearts. A regular Sey
tnonr flag the result of their first attempt
proved to be, only it lucked the pob-onoas
fiingsofthat grand emblem cf treason, the
"copperhead." As they, without a doubt,
kept these concealed for secret nee, I do not
feel much like venturing sympathy for the
omission. The "stars and bars," emblem of
the "iost cause over wiucn tny mourn so
sadly, and for the recovery of which they
fiht so ravenously, they had to perfection.
These 6tood out as free in this portion of
Monroe county, in September 1SSS, as they
did in South Carolina, in 15CI. Curious to
say, nothing wrong was discovered in this
by any of the worthy gents, present; anl
but for the opportune arrival of an ex-soldier
you would have seen, on Monday, that por
tion of the Democracy representing the
brethren of this section of the county, march
to the Democratic meeting with a Secession
Flag "flying at the fore."
After the soldier had pointed out the er
ror, and the rebel Democracy discovered
that their labor was in vain, they went to
work again, but, this time, kept tne soldier
with them as a guide to the accomplishment
of their object, which really wns to make an
American Flag. Under his tuition they had
tolerable success; and I suppose you saw the
result of their labor on your streets on Mon
day. The fact is, Mr. Editor, the Democra
cy North have eo long worshipped the "Slurs
and Bits," and fo many of them remained so
long hidden in the woods hereabouts, and in
Canada, that the 4,Stars and Stripes" wns a
something they had forgotten about; and it
really made them stare when .he good eld
flcg was unfurled Wfore their eyes; and no
doubt they acted awkwardly at the meeting
in consequence.
I am not surprised that such men support,
the Demttcratic pirtv and is representatives,
Seymour and Blar; for the former was
their friend during the rebellion, and the Li
ter has expressed a willingness to renew the
struggle in behalf of the 'dost cause." as
soon as he is safely ensconced in the Vice
President's chair. W by then, should they
lorsiKe mem now .' J.ei tnem majrc one
more effort, and let all Democrats once more
fall into line, for the ides of November will
see the last of the men who h:ve reveled in
treason fo long as to have forgotten the glo
rious flig of their country.
But is it not a shame, Mr. Editor, that
we bate soch men among us men who ra
ther tlian think for ihemt-elvce, will go on,
from day to day following the corrupt lead of
still more corrupt leaders until they have
covered themselves with disgrace! Will
not the dny come when the misses cf the
Monroe Democracy will open their eyes to
the character of the men who have led them
on and hurled them against so many snags T
Yea, verily will it. The time must come
when Democrats even will discover the in
fluences for evil which surround them, and
scatter them as chaff before the wind.
Then will come the day of political jubilee,
for then, and not till then, will Democrats
vote a r conscience, and not us corrupt party
leaders, dictates. MORE ANON.
The Democracy complain that gold is
given the bondholders. Their complaint,
then, is directed against themselves.
