TOR 61TREME JCDGE:
UENRY GREEK,
Jforttampton County.
FOR AtPITOB GENERAL:
JOaX A. LEMOX,
Blair County.
Vermont has fallen into line lor
Grant. Score another State for the
great Peacemaker.
GtsEfiAL Uctler says tbat the
Democrats "haven't the faintest
hopes of success," and that "Grant
will go in with a wbM."
Wendell rniups eays that the
man who dreams of Grant aspiring
to be a dictator would hare awaken
ed Noah with the cry of "Fire."
As Exchange eajs: Congress
man Coffroth is humbugging Altoona
folks with promises of a new post
office. That's taffy for a renomina
tion. Hon. Fi split 1'atterso.v, a well
known politician, and member of the
Legislature from Washington county,
died on Thursday of last week. lie
was seventy years of age.
An unclaimed land patent has
been discovered in the Laud office at
Waehington, signed by Franklin
Tierce in 1555, issued to Abraham
Lincoln for service ia the Black
Haak war.
Hexky Warp Beech er is the
most enthusiastic Grant man in the
country. lie Bays he is for Grant
for a third, fourth, or fifth term, pro
vided, always be continues a satisfac
tory public servant.
Malionascy is no excufe for ly
ing. The editor of the Herald was
elected Prothouotary in 1S57, as the
candidats of the Whig and American
party ; an there was no Republican
ticket in the County that year.
Hon. John Cena has been se
lected as chairman of the State Re
publican Committee, in place of Col.
Uuoten, who declined a re-election.
This means a wide awake and aggres
sive campaign in Pennsylvania.
The friends ot Hun. Eliha B.
st Mnnnt Onrrn'l II!..
having called a meeting to advance
his Presidential interests, he imme
diately wrote them a letter saying
that onder no circumstances would
he be a candidate for President, and
that Grant is bis first and last choice.
It tppear to be conceded that
Grant ill have the Massachusetts
delegation in the Chicago Conven
tion. The Republicans of that State
talk of poshing Governor Claflin for
Vice President, on the ticket with
Grant
From present appearances about
four fifths of the delegates to the
New York Convention will be for
General Grant, and there is no donbt
that he will receive nearly the solid
vote of that State at Chicago.
The Democrats in the Senate have
refused to confirm a cumber of the
Census Supervisors, because they
were Republicans, and yet the Com
missioner gives public notice to Su
pervisors that every one of tbem
must ewear that he will select his
enumerators without reference to
party or political affiliations. Who
is going to be fooled in this matter ?
Ws must beg our readers to ex
cuse os for occupying bo much space
with matter mainly personal to our
self. It is many years nince we have
been compelled to trespass npon
their good nature in this way ; but
when
Puppy "mongrel, bound,
ADd cur of low degree,
are yelping in our track, we are com
pelled to drive them back in self de
fence. "Another Republican" betrays
bis stupidity and proves his malice,
in the last Commercial by asserting
that the Herald "ignored totally,
the whole question of tbe Senatorial
cor test in this (30tb.) district, by
which the county was badly cheat
ed cnt of her undoubted right to the
representation."
Go to, tbou fool ! malice has blind
ed tbee: Tbe Herald said: "We
think co one in this connty denies or
doubts, we were entitled to tbe Sen
atorial delegate in the late State Con
vention." Again, in the same article
it said : "Be tbat aa it may, while we
adhere to tbe position tbat this Conn
ty was entitled to tbe delegate, we
can see bow a different opinion
mirbt prevail with others."
If this ia "ignoring tbe whole ques
tion," then we can neither write nor
read plain English. We did sot
however, join in the howl agaiaat
tbe Committee on Credentials aa
fools and knaves, but said that, on a
ctatement of facts given, a different
opinion might prevail with others ;
and this was oar offence. It U high
treason to differ ia opinion with Gen.
Koontz and his toadies.
We are not conacioos of charging
tbat Mr. L. A. Smith is not a Repub
lican. We believe tbat since
Lather enac marching boeae
he has acted, personally, with tbe
Republican party. Bat we saiJ
"that the Commercial never claimed
to be Republican journal ; tbat it
never advocated a Republican princi
ple or supported a Republican candi
date as such."
It ia no answer to say that one,
two, or three individuals may know
ing the editor's principles have con
sidered it such, nor that its denuncia
tion of arson, or of the B. & O. R. R ,
or of Cameronism constitutes it each,
and no one knows this fa:t better
than does its editor; while a reference
to Its files will sustain cur assertion.
Oaly last week it blossomed oat into
this kina of Republicanism :
'Prer rar Actio.
"Shall Sonera comity, nrlioee rirlini were ae

Is this the kind of Republicanism
our people admire, on tbe eve of the
most important Presidential election
tbe country has ever seen ? Here is
tbe announcement that certain Re
publicans are preparing to bolt ; that
there is talk of holding another Re
publican county meeting to elect del
egates to a new State Convention.
Here is an invitation to revolt, to get
up a schism in the party. At whose
instance? For what purpose? It
requires no reading between the lines
of this "call" to discover its animus,
and the cloven hoof of its instigator.
Really, the Commercial may have
experienced a change of heart, and
may feel very devoutly inclined at
present; but we cannot help bat think
that tbe rule of the Methodist church
a period of probation for sudden
converts would not be inapplicable
in its case.
A mono the signers to Gen. Koontz's
card, published for the purpose of
proviLg the editor of this paper a
liar, we note two of our nephews
by marriage F. J. Kooeer and J. G
Ogle, Esquires. Why these two
young gentlemen loaned themselves
for this base nee, we cannot imagine,
except that they hoped that "thrift
might follow fawning.'' .
Be that as it my, they both knew
when they affixed their names to tbat
paper, tbe purpose for which it wag
to be used, and afterwards to tbe re
monstrance of a mutual friend on the
uaBeemly act, they replied to the
e&Vcttbat their names were going to
remain there and they do. Tbey
have not the excuse that others have,
that tbey were misled, or did not
know tbat the paper was to be bo
used.
Mr. Kooser has been a voter, per
haps eleven years, nine of which he
has been in office; he is cow Bitting
on the ragged edge of hope, witbgap
iog mouth, trusting that a Congres
sional or Judicial plum may drop
into it. Well. Derhaps thev may. if
he lives long enough to fit himself for
eitner POSUIOII ; uut eannaewlT
for faim, men do not live as long
now as they did in Methusala's time.
Unless it was the consciousness that
we could not consistently support bis
preposterous aspirations, we are void
of offence towards him.
Mr. Ogle, tbe degenerate son of a
noble sire, hs since his infancy, been
to ns a eource of kindly interest.
We have tried to assist him in his
aspirations, and worked for his ad
vanrement But with wayward folly
he last vear launched himself into
the Greenback movement, and when
his friends dragged him out like a half
drowned puppy from a pool, and
tried to wipe the stains from his
political garments, they found to
their dismay tbat he was irrevocably
committed by bis letters, now care
fully preserved by others to be here
after used aeainst him. That with
euch a record be sbonld throat him
self prominently forward to insult
one of his earliest friends, proves tbat
be needs re-baking before he becomes
hard enough to endure the attrition
of politics, or of a contact with bis
fellows in tbe race of life.
It pains as thus to expose the fol
Iy, or selfishness ot these young gen
tlemen, but we do it with the hope
that the lesson may be of such service
to tbem, that when they have lived
ioog enough to establish, we trust,
good characters for themselves, they
will so appreciate them, that tbey
will forever thereafter be more chary
of their assaults upon those of others,
We are asked by tbe Commercial
why tbe Herald did not "support
tbe action of General Eoontz ia the
State Convention ?"
Simply because we did net approve
of it. We do not pin oar faith to the
General's coat-tall, but dare to do our
own thinking, and to exercise the
right of choice among candidates be
fore Republican Conventions. This
should be sufficient answer to all self
respecting citizens, bat, lest it should
be assumed tbat soma imaginary
grievance controlled as, we add that
no Republican jonrnal ia Pennsylva
nia or elsewhere, that has come un
der cur observation has approved it ;
on the contrary they have aH depre
cated bis action and . views as aet
forth in his epeeek ia that body. We
quote from a few of those bow on our
table. Says the correspondent of (he

Bat enough for to-day; we li not
appove the mad coarse of General
Koontx, nor did tbe press in the State
anywhere euetata it We published
aa fall a record of tbe proceedings of
the Convention as we could make
room for, and a stained from re nan re
where we could not praise.
In speaking of tbe Connty meeting
held on tbe 27 ih alt, we said it 'was
packed by a few scurvy politicians,
who used a score or two ot unreflect
ing citizens principally of this
borough, to ; gain their ends. ' For
this, we were assailed personally and
brutally, and onr character for
veracity impugned by aa anoaymoos
correspondent of tbe Commercial.
To this we simply replied tbat the
man who wonld under the shelter of
a pseudonym assail the character of
another in tbe pnblic prints, was a
contemptible coward with whom we
would not disease the tmeetion of
veracity. Stung by thia aeservea
retort, a paper was prepared in tbe
office of General Koontz, and circu
lated by bis lackeys for signatures,
and some forty-eight names obtained
thereto, setting forth tbat the signers
"were present at this meeting and
are well able to say tbat .it tro not
and could not have been packed."
This paper was published in the
Commercial to prove that the asser
tion ef the Herald was totally false.
It does not need much discrimina
tion to see that the attempt to
bolster op the first scurrilous assault,
by the certificate, proves more than
was intended, as it clearly dkcloses
tbe author of both.
If this certificate proves anything,
it proves only tbat those swift wit
nesses were entrapped by a canning
pettifogger. How are tbey well able
to say tbat tbe meeting was not
packed? There may have been no
outward evidence of it, bat could
they see into tbe bosoms, or read tbe
thoughts of others there assembled J
Would men that were brongbt there
for a purpose, to obtain an unfair
end, publicly proclaim it in advance?
Pshaw 1 this is too plain to waste
words on.
Now for tbe history of this affair
which has been magnified, for a pur
pose, from a mole bill into a moon-
tain. During the afternoon preced
ing tbe meeting, Mr. John F. Kant
ner told the editor ot this paper, that
guiehed certifiers was busy dram
ming op the Blaine men for the
meeting in tbe evening, and bad re
quested him to be on band to vote
for Blaine delegates. Oa tbe even
ing succeeding tbe meeting, we
charged Wei fley with having packed
it, and he unequivocally admitted the
fact, afterwards adding, "perhaps I
did wrong, but I thought the Grant
men were going there in force to try
and elect the delegates." " At a " Bub
sequent time be admitted tbe fact to
Mr. Elias Cooningham. He made
the same admission to Mr. M. A.
Sanner, adding, "I asked 15 or 16
Blaine men to be on hand," and we
are credibly informed tbat he made
a somewhat similar statement to F.
J. Kooeer. It was also alleged, and
is we believe andenied, that X. B.
McGriff, another of the signers, was
busy dramming up Blaine men to at
tend the meeting. Three Blaine dele
gates were elected without aa objec
tion, and therefore there was DO ob
ject in forcing instructions, and no ne
cessity for a reconnoisaanceia force
by Welfley's troops. With all these
iacts within oar knowledge at the
time, were we not jastiGed in alleg
ing tbat tbe meeting was packed 7
Now let tbe very Honorable W.
H. Koontz, resort to his dictionary,
and bis authorities on Bpecial plead
ing to crawl oat of his cowardly as
sault, by arguing tbat it is impossi
ble for a small number to pack a
larger body. That is the only loop
hole left him. Suppose we were
mistaken, suppose we were entirely
wrong. Is that an excuse for - bis
malittnant, deliberate, cold-blooded
attempt to destroy oar character ?
We have lived for thirty -Ave years
in this community in vain, if we can
not lay oar character for truth, for
integrity, for honor or anj other man
ly attribute along side of his and
serenely abide tbe result .. ,j -

- , . ROOMS.
Paris, Feb. 19. La France as
serts tbat the Czar happened to be ia
the apartments of tbe Princess Dol-
goronky at tha moment when the ex
ploafoa took place. ' It is well kno wa
tbat tbe Empress has recently given
ber complete sanction to the presence
of this lady, who exercises over the
Emperor tbe ' innaenca of bis dead
eiater, Maria Kicolaivena. 8he is tbe
only person at court tbat can ap
proach him in tbe morose moods
which are now bis normal condition,
and whieb are believed to be premo
nitions of softening of the brain. Sbe
is a woman of great ability and cour
age, and ber place ia the household,
originally won by the Emperor's fa
vor, is now maintained by her per
sonal gifts. La France asserts that
it was after a long and close inter
view with Prince Gortecbakoff that
the Czar sought ber apartments, and
remained there until after the ordina
ry boar of his oQcial dinner with tbe
imperial family. ' To this the latter
are eatd to -owe their safety. The
Patrie, which ias gathered its facta
from tbe Russian Embassy, tells tbe
story somewhat differently. It main
tains tbat the Czar was at tbe time
deep ia conversation with Prince Al
exander of Ralgaria, who had arriv
ed at St Petersburg in tha morning.
Tha Czar anr bid guest were so in
tent upon the subject of their conver
sation that tbe first announcement
that dinner was served waa disre
garded. Shortly afterward tbe serv
snt returned. As she opened the
door the Emperor rose.' At that in
sunt a terrible explosion was beard.
Tbe Czar bad taken Prince Alexand
er's arm and was walking to tbe door.
He stopped short at the sound. He
then disengaged bis arm, and raised
his oyes to beavea ia gratitude.
Neither spoke a word. The Czar
was perfectly calm, and an hour later
sat down quietly to dinner beside tbe
great gap ia the floor.
