FOR GOVERNOR,
(ten. JOHN W. U12AR1T,
Of Cumberland Count.
FBOTH, OB THE EFFEBVJEBENCB OF
FOKTJER.
Tlio columns of the Miltonian last week,
two somewhat illuminated with a remarka
ble production from the peb of John Torter.
Aa the article was intended as a reply to
our strictures on his actions as President of
the convention of school delegates, to elect
a Count; Superintendent, we feel constrained
to notice it, even at the expense of adding
to the notoriety of one whose opinions are
as harmless for good or evil, as they are un
important to the public.
Mr. Porter claims exemption from criti
cism on the ground that he is a private citi-
Ecn. We can assure Mr. Porter that the
actions or opinions of John Porter per m are
sot of sufficient importance to disturb any
one. Had not the Convention conferred
upon him a little brief authority, wo should
not have deemed his actions or opinions
worthy of notice. It was not the action of
John Porter that we commented upon but
the action of the President of the Conven
tion. But Mr. Porter has an idea that lie
is a somewhat remarkable man, which, in
some respects, is undoubtedly true. His
article under consideration shows this. It
is, however, only a rehash of similar opin
ions expressed by him in the office of Judge
Jordan, a few days previous. We there in
formed Mr. Porter that his statements did
not tally with the statements of other citizens
present and we preferred believing them
to him that Lis opinion of us or any one
else, was a matter of very little consequence,
and could injure no one where he was best
known. Mr. Porter did not consider this
complimentary, and became vehement on the
subject of liars ; and went on to say that if
he hated anything outside of h 1, it was a
liar. We coniess wo were somewhat sur
prised, as well as amused, at tho cool assu
ranco of Mr. Porter in making such a decla
ration, and we thought, by the twinkle in
the Judge's eye, that he also enjoyed the
joke. There is an old adage, tl at it tak$9
all kinds of people to make a world, and
Mr. Porter is unquestionably ont of them.
If his genius is not of that stamp, L'at made
Washington great or Jeff. Davis infamous,
it gave him at least the ascendency in his
own sphere of action.
Mr. Poiter is a member of the Bar in this
county, as Bvery one who attends Court is
presumed to know, unless he is blind, or
deaf as an adder. In stature and appearance
Mr. Porter has been reminded that he bore
some remote resemblance to Henry Clay. In
intellect there was supposed to be a slight
uiuerence. in manners, had he been coteui
poraneous with Chesterfield, he might have
figured as a character, if not as a model, in
tne works of that accomplished nobleman
In logic he would have astonished, if not
overwhelmed Webster. There are some
things, however, that Mr. Porter should
never attempt. He should never undertake
to discuss the principles of moral philoso
phy. Although Paley was successful it does
not follow that he would succeed in a sub
ject so uncongenial to his nature. As a
lawyer, Mr. Porter entertains some views,
perhaps, peculiar to himself. His great and
well-known hatred of liars has so shaken
his faith in human testimony that he rarely
believes any one on oath, unless his testi
mony is on the right side. It is for this rea
son, it is supposed, that he has adopted tho
practice of dispensing with witnesses in all
cases where the sweaing can be done as
well, and perhaps better, by the attorney
This kind of practice, it is proper to say, does
not meet the approbation of the members of
the Bar, generally, and Mr. Porter enjoys a
monopoly of the business.
We are always ready to correct errors, and
our columns are always open to any one ag
grieved by incorrect statements on our part,
for any reply couched in pioper and respect
ful language. This is all a gentleman of in
telligence can ask of an editor. Mr. Porter
says he was not at Harrisburg. In this un
important xact our intormant may Lave been
mistaken. But in regard to the other facts
stated there is nothing to invalidate their
truth, but the mere assertion of Mr. Porter.
(HWe do not think it advisable to
enter in a discussion with our neighbor of
the Gazette in regard to Gen. Geary and
Tbaddcus Stevens. The question was a
plain one, and needed no circumlocution.
Tho Gazette, unfortunately, confounds the
events of tho present day, with those of the
past, and draws tho same conclusions from
each. The Democrat said that Gen. Geary
endorsed Thad. Stevens in everything.
We said then, and say now, that neither
Gen." Geary or Congress endorsed Thaddeus
StevcBS in Lis extreme views, and the re
cords show that Mr, Steveus' amendment
to confer the right .of suffrage on negroes
received only 83 votes, or not over a third
of his own party. Mr. Stevens is an able
man, and we think a patriotic one, but he
entertains extreme views on some things
not eudorscd by the majority in Congress,
There are many Union Republicans who are
opposed to negro sufirage, and it is not
only improper and unjust, but worse than
folly to atteinpt.to saddle the extreme views
of any man on a candidate without au
thority. We stated facts, and if the Gazette

his hands by aiding him in the attempt to
make Gen. Geary odious in the eyes of con
servative men.
"Phothokotaht. We have been re
quested to say that Lloyd T. Rohrbach will
be a candidate for Prothonotary la opposi
tion to Mr. Reimcnsyder, the present lnoutn
bent, Mr. Rohrbach if a young maa of
character, a lawyer by profession, and
possesses all the necessary qualifications for

3TThe Democratic Convention of this
county, assembled at the Court nouse, in
this place, on Monday last," and was duly
organized by appointing Gen. W. Kase,
President, I. D. Raker and W. Bavldge,
Vice Presidents, and Jacob t'lp and Wm.
Culp, Secretaries. Th Primary tleo
tion, on Saturday previous, had been more
warmly contested than any election of the
kind, for years. The groat struggle was be
tween the candidates for the office of Sheriff.
The contest was principally between Mr,
Bcckley and Mr. Heller. Bccklcy, contrary
to the expectations of many knowing onesi
carried the day. The contest tor Congress
was not spirited. J. Woods Brown, of Mil
ton, having served his party, if not his
country, in tho Legislature, and having of
fered to make further sacrifices by serving
as State Senator, received the nomination
over G. W. Zieglur, Esq., of this place. It
is proper to say that Mr. Zicglcr was late in
coming out, and found his tickets missing
at some of the polls.
For Pro.houotary Mr. Rcimensnyder had
no opposition, which ho certainly will have
at the general election. It is Mr. l'eiracnsny-
dcr's misfortuno to have many friends who
feel very indifferent in regard to his election,
and who would not be grcviously distressed
if he would be defeated a very probable
event.
For Associato Judge there was some con
test. Isaac Bidlcspach, who was defeated
lust fall for Assembly, was the successful
candidate, beating our old friend, Jesse C.
Norton, and Esq. Ludwig, of Delaware,
Mr. Horton would have made an excellent
associate, and deems it anything but a com
pliment to be thus set aside by one who
was proscribed, by somo of his own party, as
a foreigner, during the last campaign.
For Assembly, Mr. JTliarp received the
nomination, on'y to prevent his being made
a yearling a very likely event, if tho peo
ple consult their proper interests. As Mr.
Tharp took special care, last winter, of his
Snyder County constituents, at the cxpenso
of tho pcoplo of Sucbury, he should receive,
as he no doubt will, an astonishing vote
in this place. The following is the vote cost
in the county :

IST" The officers of the Petroleum Bank

the Venango Bank of Franklin, are said to
have employed counsel at Harrisburg to
bring suit against the late Auditor General,
Mr. Slcnker, and, through him against the
State of Pennsylvania, to recover the value
of the $1,500,000 of federal bonds he let
Culver Penn & Co. have contrary to law.

Uenry and Clymer Compared.
In his eloquent and powerfully argumenta
tive speech lately made at Lebanon, Col.
John W. Forney thus graphically described
and compared the opposing candidates for
Governor of Pennsylvania. It would be well
if every man in the State could read and
ponder this comparison :
"No higher tribute could have been paid
to Gen. Geary than in the selection of his
competitor. Tho Democratic conventian,
keenly sensible of approaching defeat, set
aside their worthiest f or their weakest man.
Unable to induce asoldier to carry thcirflng,
and unwilling to consign their most distin
guished citizen to the humiliation of an over
whelming defeat, they placed a gentleman
upon their ticket whose singlo claim rests
upon the fact that he is certain to secure the
largest majority for Gen. Geary. Our can
didate could not expect, under any circum
stances, to receive the suffrages of the men
who prayed for tho defeat of himself and his
gallant squadrons, and as it would have been
cruel to deprive these citizens of an oppor
tunity to vote, Mr. Clymer was kindly and
mercifully put forward."
"There is, however, n peculiar value in
such an antagonist. Geary and Clymer are
exact antipodes in all respects. Clymer boasts
of li is royal, or rather aristocratic ancestry.
Geary is the son of a poor and honest Penn
sylvania mechanic. When Clymer was a
whig, Geary was a democrat. When Demo
cracy was made the shield of slavery, Clymer
uecaiue a democrat ana (jeary a Republican.
While Clymer was refusing the use of the
ballot to the soldier in the far-off field, Geary
was standing under the bullets of tho rebel
foe. While Clymer insists that the doors of
Congress slia'.l bo thrown open for tho un
conditional admissicn of such Southern
conspirators as Alexander H. Stephens, the
Vico President of the Confederacy, Geary
nanus wun congress and insists upon such
GJarsnieea ana conditions as will do justice
to all loyal men and prevent the calamity of
another rebellion.
A Spankino Team. Dr. Potter, of Tio

Sa urday week, and the Doctor drove 103
miles and 17 rod. in 9 hours ana 11 minutes

being 8, hours. This is the best timtol
record. The auimals are a beautiful pair of
large bay mares, and they came in apparent
ly quite fresh, under a strong pull. The
Doctor was afterwards offered f 10,000 for
his team, but he J-cfused to sell it.
A steer was recently photographed at
Indianapolis, Ind., which was seventeen

he was of the common stock, and declared
bis intention to increase his weight to five

Th armamnnti for the impending conflict
continue throughout the whole of the Eu
ropean continent. According to the latent
statements we have been able to gather from
our European pipers, the military situation
was aoout as follows : , ' '
The Prussians had under arms nine ton
d'armee,. numbering no less than 647.WU
men. In addition to tucse, ramiui-w
composed of volunteers, were forming in tlio
southern districts of Brandenburg and
Silesia, and the tenth corp d'armee was
ni-trnntxW. Prussia lias concentrated one
mam army In SlleBla, under tho command of
the Crown 1'rlco, anu anoiuer in tue pro
vince of Saxony, extending from the neigh
borhood of Gothato tho Elbe, under .the
command of the Crown Prince, Frederic
Charles, a nephew of the present King. A
glance at the map which the Tribune pub
lished a few days ago, will show that the
kingdom of Saxony is a most troublesome
barrier to a communication between the two
armies. As Saxony is the firmest ally of
Austrin, and will undoubtedly at onco loin
in the war, the occupation of Saxony by the
Austrian troops Will bo a very dangerous
flank movement against the Prussian army
in Silesia. Already the Southern corner of
Silesia (south of Uppolcn) lias been lelt un
protected against an invasion of the enemy,
The two armies in Silesia and Saxony to
gethcr are supposed to number about 800,
000.
Against them Austria had concentrated,
upon nn unborken line, extending from
Cracow to the western frontier of'Saxony, a
force estimated at 830,000, winch, by com
inunications with the center of the Empire,
not easy to break, can more safely rely on
necessary reinforcements than tho Prussian
army. This forco is under tho command
of Gen. Bencdck. Tho Austrian army in
Italy, which is under command of Arch
duke Albrccht, numbers moro than 200,000
men, aud can, within a short ttmo, if neccs
sary, be largely reinforced. Its position is
at present purely detensivo, and arranged
with a view of meeting an Italian invasion
of Southern Tyrol, a march upon Venice, or
a landing in Dalmatia. it is confirmed that
the aggregate number of armed men in
Austria does not fall short of 800,000 men.
The Italian force which has been collected
all along the southern and western frontier
ot vcnctia was, at the date ot our latest ad
vices, supposed not to fall short of 400,000.
The regular army is commanded by Cialdini,
while the volunteers, whose number is in
creasing with amazing rapidity, follow the
leadership ot Uaribaldi. The plan ot at
tack, it is still believed includes both an
invasion of Southern Tyrol and a landing on
tho eastern shore of the Adriatic, each move'
mcnt liavina for its object to cut the com
munication between Vienna and Venice, and
thus isolate tho Quadrilateral and compel
tue garrisons to surrender.
1 tie more important nmonj tlio minor
German States, as Bavaria, Wurtembcrg,
saxony, and Hanover, have their lull con
tingents of the Federal army, or even a
larger torce, under arms. Alter the nrepara-
tions already made, it would not take long
to have the wholo contingent of the minor
States, which amounts to about 800,000,
ready to march. The Austrian army nn tho
frontier of Saxony and Silesia could easily
receive from these contingents an addition
of more than 100,000 men, whose cfliciency
will, however, be found to be vastly inferior
to the armies of cither Austria or Prussia.
Altogether, it is probable that when the
impending war between Prussia, .Austria,
Germany, and Italy begins, more than 2,000
000 well drilled and disciplined troops will
be hurled upon each other. Nor is this all.
Russia seems to increase with great rapidity
her concentration of troops in Poland, and
to prepare to throw her vast power into
the scale. The Danubian Principalities will
have an army of 50,000 men ready to dis
pute the invasion of the Turks. The latter,
in their turn, are concentrating largo forces
to prepare not only for a war in tho Danu
bian Principalities, but for a general rising
in tho Christian provinces.
France is keeping her armaments and
military movements more secret than any
power in Europe; but it is known that all
the preparations for concentrating a force
of at least 100,000 on tho Rhine have been
completed, and the latest declaration of
Louis Napoleon again indicates that France
will not remain neutral if her interests de
mands it. JV. Y. Tribune..

Buffalo, June 20.
During tho tornado yesterday afternoon
the schooners Mazzeppa aud G. O. Shawk
broke from their moorings and rail into the
canal boat Mouitor, killing a Mrs. Mallory,
wife of tho steersman.
A man was killed at Black Rock by a car
on the track beiug blown on him. Another
man was fatally injured, it is supposed, by a
brick from a falling chimney on the Kremlin
block.
Tho roof of tho west wing of the Found
ling Asylum, on Edward street, was blown
in, aud three children, who were in the play
room at the time, were almost buried in tho
debris, but none were seriously hurt.
A heavy beam forced its way to tho roof
ui vtipiain uouoin s nouse, on .Niagara St.,
which it crushed. Tho cupola of school
house No. 1, on Seventh street, was carried
away; tho skylights on the Board of Trade
rooms were broken; nearly half of the upper
root of the Niagra Falls railway depot gave
way to-the storm ; the tower on St. Joseph's
cathedral was damaged, and the wood work
of St. Joseph's church tower was swept
almost entiicly away. The Arcado building,
occupied by Messrs. Biensbane, had about
thirty feet of cornice torn off; the double
skylights over Slaight's billiard saloon were
smashed in ; L. L. Howard's machine shop
and agricultural works, on Chicago street,
wero partially destroyed. Tho organ factory
of Mr. House, on Clinton, near Elm street,
had its front blown in. The total loss has
not been estimated. The storm lasted about
half an hour, and was worst known for
many years.
Clymeu's Recoud. On the 5th of Janu.
ary, 1864, the following resolution was bo
fore the Senate, and Heister Clymer voted
in the negative :
"Jlenolcal hy the Senate, That the thanks
of the loyal people of Pennsylvania are due,
and are hereby tendered, to General U. P.
Grant, and the officers and soldiers serving
under him, for the scries of gallant services
and glorious victories resulting in the libera
tion of the faithful Union people of East
Tennessee from a military despotism more
galling than ever was that of Great Britain."
The vote stood 10 to 10, and the resolu
tion was lost.
The "gallaut servico" which opened the
gates tof East Tennessee, was the fierce
fought field of Chickamaugua. The soldiers
' county know all about that battle,
ana the sequeuce of fights that followed it.
Ihw resolution was a vote of thanks by tho

Important I'cIhIoii.
Uarrisburo, June 21. The Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, sitting at Wilkes
barre yesterday, rendered a decision in the
case of Hubcr vs. Rankcn, error to tlio Court
of Common Pleas of Franklin county (the
deserter voting case). Tho decision docs
not arguo tho constitutionality of the law of
Congress, but is chiefly confined to the point
at issue, to wit, the right of a judge of elec
tion to reject a man's vote, when the word
''deserter" is written opposite his name on
the list of voters. Chief Justice Woodward
and Justices Strong and Thompson decided
that the judge of elections could not refuse
a man's vote until ho had been tried and
convicted of desertion ; while Justices Read
and Agnew, on the contrary, held that the
judges of elections wero the proper persons
to decide the question.
Major Gen. J. W. Gkart, tho Republi
can soldiers' candidate for Governor, paid a
brief visit to Reading last Monday. His
visit, though entirely unexpected and very
brief, was very pleasant. The General had
the advantage of a noble physique, standing
some sis feet two, with well-developed pro
portions. The soldier has a great advan
tage over the Senator, in possessing an un
blemished political, and a most glorious
military record. While the former was
fighting the battles of the Union at "the
front," the latter was fighting the battles of
ins party at nomc, and leading and encour
aging the accursed Copperhead crew to do
all they could to embarrass tho Government
and make treason successful.
It is to such men as Geary that the pco.
plo of Pennsylvania arc indebted for shield
ing them from the hostile invasion, and de
struction of property and life from fire and
sword by Lee's army of armed and infuriated
rubels; and it is just such men as Clymer,
that by word and action, by sympathy and
support, encouraged the traitors to hold out
year after year with the hope of final tri-
unipu. itn two such candidates there can
be no question as to who will he tho victor.
The "Boys in Blue" are still leading the
Union column, and know how to fight the
ballots as well as the bullets. They will
storm thp Copperhead entrenchments next
October, and compel Clymer to an uncondi
tional surrender, and his party to a Waterloo

Tue Late Mb. Seaton. Mr. Charles
Lanman contributes to the Hound Table a
paper suggested by the death of Mr. W. W(
bcaton, in which occur tho following para
graphs :
"In the magazine article already alluded
to the fact is stated that for more than one
third of a century the two owners and edi
tors ot the lntelligeneer bad never had a set
tlement of accounts, but that each member
of tho firm had drawn from the common
fund what money ho desired. In that con
nection I will here mention a few remarkable
business particulars, as follows : Between the
years 1825 and 1859, both inclusive, the
monthly expenses of the National Intelligencer
averaged ,uuu, or f i,osu,wu lorthe whole
period. 1 be amount drawn out by Mr.
Gules duiina that time for his personal ex
penses was $017,270.40, and by Mr. Seaton
$219,371.14, making together $836,641.54,
or a grand total of moneys disbursed by the
offlco in thirty-five years, $2,516,041.54. Of
course these were not the earnings of the
Intelligencer aloue, but were greatly enhanced
by the various congressional publications
wiucu do re tne imprint or Ualea St Seaton.
After the death of Mr. Gales the office was
found indebted to Mr. Scatoe in the sum of
170,000, which was preseutod by bim to the
widow of his late partner.
"Perhaps the most intimate friend that
Daniel Webster had in Washington was Mr.
Seaton. There was no one, out of his own
family, to whom the great statesman was so
warmly attached. A part of almost every
evening, when not engaged at home or else
where, was spent by him in the family sitting-room
of Mr. Seaton, with the ladies of
his family, or tett-a-UU with him in winter
at the Are side, or in evening strolls in sum
mer. The letters and familiar notes that
passed between them are numerous and in
teresting ; and, as the eyes of the world are
at this moment especially fixed upon Aus
tria, we may with propriety give the follow
ing incident. The day before the famous
Hulscman letter was transmitted to Congress
Mr. Webster sent it to Mr. Seaton to read.'
After it was returned, and on the morning
it was to be sent to the Senate, it occurred
to Mr. Seaton that the word patch, as appli
ed to a great empire, would appear rather
undiplomatic or beneath the dignity of such
a state paper, and like an attempt to belittle
an adversary government, and therefore be
despatched a note to Mr. Webster suggest
ing, if not too late, the substitution of ano-.
ther word. lis received by his messenger
the following reply i -
'"XWir Cvl. Thsdsod was dons before
