GENERAL, . - fflaj. Gen. JOHN F. HARTSABTFT, Woe to the mao of little faith who reads the daily papera in these days, for he ehail he fill ed with tribulations by day, and his nights shall be seasons of nightmare dreams. , Crime of every name, and crime that sholl be nameless, is on on epidemic ramp. Where ever unsuspecting innocence walke; wherever the votaries of, Gain, and the victims of Osten tation and Extravagance, meet and greet; end wherever Canning subtly plies its outcrop of crime is certain and Jorge. In the preternatural preyaience- of highest crime minor crime has sunk below recognition. Larceny is seldom tbe theme of areportorial paragraph. Burglary, unless grimly crowned with incidental killing, is deposed from its an cient place, in criminal records. The drawer thief is forgotten as we behold the man of hitherto unblemished repute embezzling mill ions, or drawing tens of thousands on forged checks. And, really, it does appear that there is to be an Aristocracy of crime; .no doubt with its graduated orders—prinoes wbo forge millions ; dukes who embezzle hundreds of thousands; earls' who steal by. the ten thousand ; barons who do tbe genteel swindling; counts who conspire against the.strong box of banks and bankers; marquises who do the confidence game ;-and knighls-baronet who ply the dag ger, pistol, and' poison,- and thrive thereat;' and devils who track the .path of brntal lust. What a peerage I -- We confess to a reluctance bordering on un controllable disgust in speaking of the details of this awful Saturnalia of Crime. But si lence, like too much speaking may become, it self, a crime of magnitude. Therefore let us gravely consider the phenomena of the crim inal tendency of tbe times, that we may gain some knowledge of the philosophy of epidem ic crime, and so be enabled to fortify against its recurrence, as wise men fortify great. cities against tbe cholera. - First; then, this era of crime was ushered in by the advent of the highest recognized crime ■—Treason. Treason, the Master-Ozime, became epidemic thranghout.the breadth of ten States in 1861. Tt spared few in its-desolating course. l lt was rapid in its progress to the south and south west, slower in its spread toward the higher latitudes, and lost its epidemic form when it reached the slave line. Here, in our midst, its character was sporadic. There were violent oases; but they were confined to tbe lanes and alleys of politics, where filth, bad ventilation, and noxious exhalations of political cesspools ppisoped.the air. ' I So the Master-Crime raged with epidemic ■violence for four years; and then succumbed to the prowess and tenacity of the army of the United States. Treason) its outworks and de fences, were beaten and demolished. Bat its malign spirit was not wholly exorcised. , Bat the demoralizing influence of treason flung wide the gates of all minor - excess. Then osme, arm in arm, unbridled lust and murder; and tho havoc,they have made of the pure, the noble, the beautiful and the true, is terrible. These twin devils raged from the sea to the Mississippi, and from the Misaissip*' pi to the sea, universally execrated, but un hung I They are still abroad ; and until some man, goaded by wrong until he becomes the swift minister of Summary Justice, shall take the sword into his own bands, we fear that no material check will bo put upon them. Then came Arson;'hearing 3 banner of flame with a midnight background. Its ravages re morseless, and without regard to locality or condition, be who. had an enemy retired to dream of the torch. Then, as a new sensation, came the- crimin al fine arts of Forgery, EmbeEslement, Breach of Trust, and wholesale Swindling. Even as this goes clicking into type, the whole country is agaper with astonishment at the systematic defalcations of Jenkins and Earle, connected . with a famous New York Bank. r The latter took to'fast horses and frail women, to sustain which he resorted to robbery of the bank. His partner in prime has wound up his earthly career with suicide ; . and Jenkins is being ar raigned in court, and lionised by reporters. On the heels of tbisfinanoial upheaval comes the still more astounding forgeries of young Ketchum, involving the probable ruin of the famous Banking house of Morris Ketchum & Company, with an aggregate loss to somebody of §2,000,000, and perhaps more. There .is a single encouraging circumstance attendant upon this grand crusade of crime. It set out with the highest crime' in the cat alogue, and thence, by terrible gradations, downward inthe scale ;” so that, after the fever of this latest sensation' shall subside, we may regain our normal condition of comparative order. • . : ; ;, 1 ; ,- m! h. oobb, editor and proprietor.

' iiVr -« O' i - THE TIOGI COUNTY AGITATOR. the moral and social elements is rotary; in which event there is no mortal vision so long as to compass the and. We have considered the disease at length ; what is tbs cause and what the remedy I It originated in the neglected education of thapreoent-generation; and has been nurtur ed by a oriminal laxity in administering the laws of the land. Crime has purchased im- munity from punishment, or commutation of sentence, so generally, that it has oome to be on ordinary practical joke to run up a brief board bill at the Penitentiary. There is some danger of a competition be tween men as to who shall have the honor of running for the Penitentiary. There is an infallible remedy for this uni versal tendency to crime. It is this: Educate children to habile of implicit obedi ence.to wholesome rules of conduct; teach them to respect the rights of all men alike; teach them that the life containing the greatest meas ure of unselfish action is the highest life ; that the object of life is usefulness, not selfish accu mutation ;- that ostentation is the outward man ifestation of a tawdry soul; that fine words are but tinsel, and good- works solid gold—this teach; arid MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME, OF WHICH MAN OR WOMAN SHALL BE BELT CONVICTED, AS CERTAIN AS DEATH TO EVERY LIV ING CREATURE. "We desire to call the attention of the Con vention to assemble in the Court House da; after to-morrow, to an important matter; one that seriously affects the count; in its district relations. Heretofore, Tioga has had no mote weight in conference, with her 6,121 votes, than Bit with her 1,058, or Cameron with her 534, votes. In a government where representation is apportioned according to population, the in justice and inequality of this state of affairs in this district is so manifest as to need no argu ment ; and in onr judgment, only requires to be brought to the notice of the several Confer ences to bo promptly rectified. In order to bring this matter folly before the public, we herewith present the aggregate vote of each of the counties in our Judicial and Senatorial dis tricts in 1863: Judicial— , Ti0ga......;..,..... -■■■r -.6,121 Potter 2089 McKean '...; 1349 Elk ' 1 . , Cameron 534.

We propose to our Convention to remedy this unjust disparity by appointing seven Judicial conferees—that be ing the number to which Tioga is entitled by voting population—having, as may ha seen above, about 1100 more votes than the entire balance of tbe district. No fair man will ob ject to this equalisation, and it is presumable that the Conference will agree to base repre sentation upon voting population. One con feree for each thousand and fractional thousand is the usual apportionment, we think, where district matters are well ordered. We earnestly recommend the Convention to take prompt and decisive action upon this at its session on Friday. It is the only avoidance of future trouble arising from a loose way of doing business. The Clinton Republican is favorable to.the meeting of the several Conferences at Oonders port, bat suggests an earlier day than the 14th of September—the Ist. It is customary with the.northern tier of counties to make their lo cal campaigns short and vigorous; and we hardlyl think their Conventions will be held in season to make the Conferences possible at so early ,a day aa the Ist, proximo. The Senato rial conference will be second in order of im portance, and the Potter Convention is called for the last of the month. We did no more than suggest the time for holding the Confer ences, and prefer to leave it in the hands of the majority who are to participate.. friend Kogees, of the McKean Miner, says that he is satisfied with onr suggestion of the 13th of September as the time of, holding .the Judicial Conference, "providedthe Senatorial Conference he held on the 12th," "Wo must say that it seems best to proceed in order; and as the Judicial Conference stands first in’.im portance, so it should precede the others. He trill see that it is the universal practice of Con ventions to ballot for the candidates for the highest office first; wo cannot see any reason why that rule should be dropped in this ease. We can assure him that no understanding to the contrary has prevailed in this county; nor do we presume that our people will consent to any rescinding of the rule in this instance.

Davis' trial: . State of New York, City and County of New York, ss.: Robert Brown, of said City and County, of New York, being duly sworn, depos eth and aaith: On Monday tbe 31st of July, 1865, he attend ed a meeting in this city, having received an invitation in tbe following terms; You are invited to nieel, with several gen tlemen, at the offices Nos. 10 and 20 in tbs house No. 9 Broad-street, on Monday, the 31st inst., ac4P. m., to devise means for tbe fair and full defence of Jefferson Davis and. his associates, so that whatever happens justice may be done. New York, July 26,1865. The meeting was held at the rooms designa ted, being those occupied by Carlos Butter field. There was present at the meeting Messrs. Gideon J. Tucker, Surrogate of this county, Theodore Martine, Peter Y. Cutler, Cldnc; and Douglas, among others. One of them said that Mayor Gunther would attend if business did not detain him, and that be was entirely in union and sympathy with the objects of the meeting. After some delay, it was remarked that if would be as well to invito their Southern friends outside to come in. This was done, several persons entered, after which the doors were closed. There were now ten men present. The object of the meetfatg was to raise funds to meet the expenditures to be incurred in the defence of Jeff. Davis, The following commit tee was appointed for that purpose; C. Godfrey Gunther, Mayor of New York; Carlos Butter field, Theodore Martine, Messrs. Douglas and Clancy. * ' A general conversation followed open the signification of the trial of Davis. It was, they all agreed, the most important trial in the ‘history. Every lover of liberty, in Europe and America bad ah' interest in it.— They were on trial. The celebrated trial of •Warren Hastings would sink into insignifi cance compared with that of Jefferson Davis. Mr. Cntler declared the Declaration of In dendence to be the Magna Charier of hnman liberty* and quoted it to prove that the South ern States had the right to secede. Another person,one of the New'Yorkers remarked that the State of New Yoric refused, to enter the Federal Union except the right was assured to her' to withdraw if she thought proper. The proceedings and debates of the convention were referred to in confirmation of this statement. Another of the New Yorkers declared that even in Massachusetts every officer taking the oath of office swore that be owed allegiance to the State paramount to every other obligation of fealty. * 1 Mr. Robert M. Livingston, of Mobile, Ala remarked how few people had ever read the constitution of the different States. He had read them, and found in several of the consti tutions of free States the expressed right to secede. , A running conversation followed this state ment ; in which it was said that the effect of the trial of Davis would be a revolution of sen timent everywhere in favor of the South. It would be proved on the trial that the secession cause was right,'and entitled to the sympathies of the world. One of the company, Mr. Cutler, if 1 remember rightly, quoted a passage from Burke, to show that a State cannot be guilty of treason. Mr. Livingston, now wrought up to a high pitch of enthusiasm, made the declaration; “In twenty five years the man that now accuses tbo South of having committed treason, wUI be looked upon as a madman and a fool.” He re peated this declaration, saying that in fifty years the revolution in popular sentiment would be so great that such a man would be looked upon as a madman or a fool. J One of the New Yorkers denounced the exe cution of Mrs. Surratt aa a cold, deliberate murder. Another declared that she was con victed upon forged testimony. A third (Mar tine) asserted that the court by which she was tried bad no legal jurisdiction and that the exe cution was a deliberate murder. Mr. Livingston said that he had conversed with a number of Englishmen in regard to this brutal murder. They told him that it would send a thrill of honor throughout Eu rope, and the howl of,j indignation that will be sent back' would so cower, and terrify the American Government that it will be afraid to bring Mr. Davis to trial. He-believed that the intention was to keep him lingering in prison till he died, without bringing him to trial.— The friends of Mr. Davis must keep such an agitation of the matter stirring that the govern ment would be forced to pat him on trial with out farther delay. Mr. Cutler said that be had bean of opinion that the government would bring Davis to trial before the District Court of the District of Columbia. But it had been ascertained that a democrat (Judge Wylie) had . been appointed one of the judges; and hence the government would not dare let him be tried there; It was probable that Mr. Chase would hold the court., The conversation took another tarn; and •• Blaok Republicanism" was taken up. The 1 question of negro suffrage, it was predicted, would divide the "Black Republicans." Mr. Livingston said tbat be bad conversed with a great number of Western soldiers. He found that their hatred for the " nigger" was even more intense than that of’ Southern men. He would mention a fact that had come under his own cognisance—within a short time more than a hundred *• niggers" in Mobile had been murdered in cold blood by Western soldiers. A Hew Yorker asked Mr. Livingston how Alabama would be likely to vote at the nest election for Members of Congress. • “They will return a solid delegation of staunoh and true Southern men," he replied. Working himself' op into’another. fury of en thusiasm,he declared.that thirty-five hundred noble, lion-hearted Southerners Gad kept at bay, for many months, an army of : seventy-five thousand Union troops. Mobile only capitula ted when she was worn out and exhausted. He then paid a glowing tribute to the noble hearted women of Mobile. “ They look look down,” he said, “with scornful contempt upon a Yankee officer, and .suffer no. advances from them ; taking care, pf course, -not to give pause or pretext for arrest; The feeling is universal that no d—d Yankee most ba al lowed a foothold in tbe South.” These are not my words; lam not a swearing man. As the meeting was about to break up, Mr. Livingston remarked: Gentlemen, you will' want a great deal of money. lamon my way to England for the purpose of raising funds. This great work must go on. The government most not be allowed to shirk tbe trial. I can promise you with confidence that I will furnish you with tbe requisite amount, - One of the New Yorkers replied to this that there would ba no difficulty in raising tbe mon ey in this city. A farther oportunity for private consultation was held, of which up account can bs given. The Southern men present were all of them open and avowed Secessionists. The Northern men at the meeting were in the most perfect accord of sentiment and sympathy with them. There was not the slightest' perceptible shade of difference between any pf .them. Theyw.ete all ultra and unequivocal Secessionists. ■ ' j ROBERT BROWN. Subscribed and sworn before me, this 4th day of August 1865. Jounßdtohih, Notary Pablio, City and County of N. Y [ Stamp.] Ode Candidates.— Major General John F. Habtbanpt is of Montgomery county, and at present a citizen of Norristown.’ His first busi ness engagements were in connection with the construction of some of the improvements in that part of the State, he then noting.in the ca pacity of a civil engineer. Later in life, young Hartranft devoted himself to the study of the law, to the practice of which profession he was admitted with great honor. After pursuing the law for some years, the war of the rebellion was precipitated, when the lawyer immediate ly became a soldier, and was called to the com mand" of one of the first “ Three Months, Regi ments." In this connection it will be remem bered that the 4th Regiment refused to go into a fight because its time had expired while the battle was in' progress. Col. Hartranft remained on the field when his regiment marched 02, and was placed on Qen. Franklin’s staff, who complimented him for his bravery. The conduct which distinguished our candidate for Auditor General, thus early in in the war, has characterised his carreer da ring the entire struggle. His capacity for civil station is as great, too, as was bis ability as a soldier. A clear-headed lawyer, a close business man, and a conscientious gentleman in all his actions, no fairer or safer official could be selected to guard the interest of the people in the Auditor General’s office in Penn sylvania, that John F.

The 64th was organized at Camp Curtin in July, 1861, from volunteers recruited in Dan phin, Somerset, Ctrhon, Montour, Northhampton and Lehigh counties. CoL Campbell, early after his appearance in the field, was promoted to the command of a brigade, in which position be performed good and valiant service.. Indeed, the record of Col. Campbell extends over fields where some of the hardest fought battles of the war took place. For his gallantry in tbe contest he has been frequently complimented by his superior officers, and for bis services to bis country in the hour of its peril, a,grate ful people will shortly exhibit their estimation of h)s worth by electing him to one of the most important positions in their gift.
