Bewick ley, July 30,1
JIt'jh M'-Xrill, Esq., Chairman of the
Uni-m HijuihUran Club, Allegheny.
Probably 1 can in do better
way discharge my duty as a member
of the Club, and better promote the
' gm nt cause it is designed to .serve,
than to notice the persistent and un
just attacks which have Imh-ii made,
and are now being made, upon the
character of the Republican candidate
for Governor, John V. Ilartranft.
The charges arc all confined to one
point that of his official connection
with the case of the celebrated
George O. Evans. In no cither re
spect have his worst political enemies
uttcmpicd to tumii-ii bis character.
Thesp charges are more in the form
hi' innuendo, than specific, as far as
they have come under my observation,
v lik h render them more difficult to
iiK'i t. and compel me to use consider
able space ,lmt I will try to make his
lelatious to the Evans' matter so
pla'n that none can hesitate to acquit
liim of all intentional fault.
- Iu 1Sj there was au unsettled
account between the United States

two millions of dollars. The cas-h ad

when, for technical reasons, the
whole batch of State claims except
11 2, w ere marked "suspended and
disallowed"' by the Second Controller
and Third Auditor, to whose depart
ment the settlement belonged. As
there was no doubt of the equity of
tiie State's claims no demand was
made by the United Stales for pay
ment, ami thus the matter rested un
til is(,j, although one or two at
tempts were made by State Treasur

which were unsuccessful. In March,

he had kept the seventy-eight thou

succeeded in collecting 105,051.46

during all this time neither the Audi

whatever to do with the .Statu funds,
and that Ilartranft was charged com

mind from the rumors and suspicions
circulated by General Hartranft's per
sonal foes, to refuse him their vote in
Octolier. To disabuse the minds of
such Republicans I have written this
letter. I appeal to them to reconsider
their decision. If thev, on account
of the Kvans matter, neglect to vote
for General Ilartranft they will do
great injustice to an honest man and
a gallant soldier who periled Lis life I
scores of times to save the Union,
and who ha9 served the State faith
fully as Auditor General. If they
want to see Republican principles tri
umph in November, they must vote
for Republican candidates in October.
The loss of the State in OctoWr will
most assuredly endanger the election
of Grant in November. If Grant is
defeated this country will bt' govern
ed for the next four years by the men
North and South who did all in their
power to destroy they Union. Mr.
Greeley, nsthe I'resideut of the Dem
ocratic party, could not prevent such
a result if he would, anil such is his
fatuity that I do not know that he
would if he could. What such a
Government would be it is needless
to describe. To prevent such n fear

A rwrnt traveller in South Ameri
ca. who accomitanied a number of
Juinnas on a tapir hunt, says that,
besides the hunters, their party was
composed mainly of women and boys
of the village, together with a score
or two' of dogs. Of the latter, he
adds: "These dogs were curious
tTeaturcs to look at. A stranger ig
norant of the cumstoms of the Jum
nas, would have been at some loss to
account for the peculiarity of their
color. Such dogs I have never seen
before. Some were of a bright scar
let, others were of yellow, others
blue, others mottled with a variety
of tints. Whai, could it mean ? Rut
I knew well enough. The dogs had
Im-cii dyed. Yes, it is a custom among
many "triles of South American In
dians to dye not only their own bod
ies, but the hairy coats of their dogs
with brilliant coiors, obtained from
vegetable juices, such as the red hui
tic, the yellow roca and the blue of
the white indigo. The light gray,
often white hair of these auimals fa
vors the staining process, and the ef
fect produced pleases the eye of their
savage masters; on my eyes the ef
fect was strange and fantastical. I
could not restrain my laughter when
I first scanned the curs in their fan
ciful coats. Picture to yourself a
pack of scarlet, orange and purple
dogs."
Ihk MKmumcleni.
In journeying from Pfirt to R.i.-lc,
I saw at a distance of about two hun
dred paces from me a large dog leave
the road and enter the brushwood.
The dog belonging to my companion
native of Alsace, was about to follow
the strange dog, but was recalled by
his master.
"No, no, you must leave him alone,
he is on duty; it does not do to inter
rupt business."
I looked to him for an explanation
of the mystery conveyed in his words.
He then told me that dogs were tra.n
' ed to bring smuggled goods, such as
training the dog was this: He is well
fed at home, and then after awhile led
across the border to the village w here
he is to receive his load. He is shut
up for some days without feed, and
moreover beaten by a man dressed in
the uniform of a custom-house official.
As soon as the dog is set at liberty he
naturally starts for home at a double
quick pace. On the way, that is on
the high-road, which he is pretty sure
to take, people are stationed with
whips, or guns loaded with peas,
which are fired at him until he learns
to take refuge from all strange men in
the brushwood. Two or three such
lessons are sufficient to make the sa
gacious animal comprehend what is
required of him, and he then becomes
the liest contrabandist going. Six
dogs can thus support their master.

How to Dwarf a Town.
Horace Greeley presenU tlie follow
ing as a sure meaus of destroying the
prosperity of the most promising
town :
"If you want to keep a town from
turiTin'r. don't imt up any mots-
buildings than you can conveniently
occupy yourself. If you accidentally
have an empty building, and any one
should want to rent it, ask three times
the value of it Demand a Shyloek
price for every spot of ground that
Uodhas given you stewardship over.
Turna cold shoulder to every mechanic
and business man seeking a home
with you. Look at every new-comer
with a scowl. Ilun down the work
of every new workman. Go abroad
for wares rather than deal with those
who seek to do business in your
midst Fail to advertise, or in any
other way to support your paper, so
that people abroad may know wether
any business is going on iu that town
or not. Wrap yourselves up within
yourselves with a coat of impervious
selfishness. There is no more effec
tual way to retard the growth of a
town than actions' like those enumer
ated, and there are people in every
town who. arc pursuing the same
course ever' day of their lives, and
to whom the above remarks are res

A Kwirt Descent.
The velocity of falling objects in
creases with distance, as for example,
any solid object falling from a window
sixteen feet high, will reach the ground
in . one second of time : but in two
seconds will descend from a roof of
sixty-four feet in elevation ; in throe
seconds, from a steeple of one hun
dred and forty-four feet, and in about
four and a half seconds from the spire
of Trinity church, thus increasing in
speed more rapidly at each moment.
The moon's mean distance from the
earth is two hundred and forty thous
and miles. If a detached rock were
liberated from the attractive power of
that satellite, and, unimpeded by
other influences, following the attrac
tion of the earth by the Bame law of
gravitation which obtains within the
earth's atmosphere,' it would reach us
in that distance in two hours, twenty-
nine minutes and thirty seconds, its
velocity during the last second of its
fall having been at the rate of one
hundred and ninety-four thousand
miles an hour, although when leaving
ttie moon it bad taken matters rather
leisurely, traveling, during the first
second, at the rate of scarcely eleven
miles an hour. Thenceforth, how
ever, it had accelerated its speed in
arithmetical proportion, moving at the
rate of thirty-three miles an hour in
the second second ; of fifty -five miles
an hour in the third second ; of seventy-seven
wiles an hour in the fourth
second ; and so On, until it had at
tained the just mentioned stupendous
rate.
Delaware contains six fruit canning
establishments that last year used
75,000 baskets of peaches, and turned
out over COO.000 cans of fruit.
California expects soon to become
a great coffee growing country.

taste, called ' laniCT, Apenierv jeatorcn,
&c, that lead Ihe tippler oo to drunkenaesa and rain,
but are a true Medicine, made from the native roou
and herbs of Califbrou, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are the Great Wood Purifier and a Life-Kirinf
Principle, a Perfect Renovator and Invigorates-of the
System, carrying otT all poisonous matter and restoring
the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing
and invigorating bold mind and body. They art easy
of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their
results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease.
Ho Person can tako thcaa Bitters accord
ing to directions, and remain long anwell, provided
their booes are not destroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point
of repair.

tiaess, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the
Heart, Intammaiioo nf the Langs, Pain in the regions ol
tba Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms,
are the oajprings of Dyspepsia. In these complaints
it haa no equal, and oat bottle will prove a better guar
antee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement.
For sVesnavIe Cowplalnla m young Of old,
married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or tha
turn of life, these Tonic Bittera display so deeded an
influence that a marked improvement is soon percep
tible. For Inflammatory and Chronle Ihesw
Baa Clam and Gout,bysiptiaor Indigestion, Bilious,
Remittent and Intermittent Keren, Disease of tha
Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitter have
been most successful. Such Disease are caused by
Vitiated lilood, which is generally produced by dcrange
ascnt of the Digestive Organs.
They are a Gentla PartrallT a wall aa
Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of acting
as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflam
mation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and ia Bilious
Diseases.

and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature,
art literally dug up and carried ml of the system in a
short urns by the use of these Hitter. On bottle in
such cases will convince the most incredulous of their
curative effects.
Cleans tha Vitiated IilaMxl whenever yon
find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples,
Eruptions, or Sores ; cleanse it when you find it ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse k when il is
foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep lb blood
pure, and the health of tbe system will follow.

Pin, Tapa, and oilier Worm, lurking in
the system of so many thousand, art effectually de

ogist: There is scarcely an individual upon the face of the
earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms.
It is not upon the henUhy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon uie diseased humors and slimy
deporita that breed these living monster cf disaas.
No system of Medicine, ao vermifuges, no anthclmia
itics will free the system from worms like these Bit

act on all these cases io a similar manner. By puniying
Ihe Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away
the effects of tbe inflammation (the tubercular deposits)
the affected parts receive health, and a permanent curt
isetiected.
Tba praifertlee of Da. Waxxii's Viotcab
BiTtsks are Aperient, Diaphoretic and Carminative,
Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant,
Sudorific Alterative, and Anti-Biiiou.
Tha Aperient and mild Laxativ properties el
Da. Walks' Vimbgab Birraas are the best safe
guard in all cases of eruptions and malignant fevers,
their balsamic healing, and soothing properties protect
the humors of the fauces- Their Sedative properties
allay pain ia the nervous system, stomach, and bowels,
either from inflammation, wind, colic, cramps, etc
Their Counter-irritant influanca extends throughout
the system. Their Diuretic properties act on the Kid
neys, correcting and regulating tbe flow of urine. Their
Anti-Biiiou properties stimulate the liver, in the secre
tion of bile, and its discharge through the biliary ducts,
and art superior lo all remedial agents, for lite curt ol
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, etc
Fortify the nody aajalnet dlaea by puri
fying all it fluid with Vimicab Bittbis. No epi
demic can take hold of a system thus farearmed. Tha
liver, C.e stomach, the bowels, the kidneys, and th
nerves art rendered diatuae-proof by tats great mvig
orant. Direction. Take of th Bitter na going ta bed
at night from a half lo on and one-half wine-glaasfuU.
Eat good aourishiag food, such as beefsteak, mutton
chop, venison, roasl beef, and vegetables, and take
out-door exercise. They are composed of purely veget
able ingredients, and cootaia na spirit.
