Union County Convention.
The loyal citizens of Dauphin county: are
invited to meet in County Convention, for
the purpose of nominating candidates for
leanly officers, at the Court House in the city
of Harrisburg, on Tuesday, the sixlll day. of
September, 1864, at 10i o'clock, A. M.
Meetings for the election of delegates will
, be held in the various townships of the, coun
ty, at the usual places of holding said eleo
.tions, between the hours of five and seven P.
Ng and the several wards and boroughs be
tween the tops of seven a n d bine p. M., ;on
Saturday, September 3d, 1864.
• T r ltOtaAs,
Chairman Union County Committee.
S. B. Cifirm, Secretary. •
Bounty, Swindlers.
We ledizn from the Lancaster Exp.& s that
'the city of Lancaster and some districts -in
the'county, have paid large sums of inoney
for purpose of paying bounties to enlisted
men who credited themselves to their respect
ive districts, that the proper credits were ob
tained, but the soldier's Who were to receive
,
the money, for performing military duty
have been outrageously swindled by car
"tailf 'bounty, 'brokers. The Express states
that the following facts can be proven, viz:
"That I ieut. Barnes received about $87,-
000, which was. paid by different wards, bor
,ouglas and townships,a portion of which was
from this county. or tnese men the credits
promised were given. - -
"That among the credits bins ,given were
members of companies B and 0, 16th Y. B.
0., who. were not paid.. When 13arnes,was
cornered about the matter, he said he had
paid their money to 'Stuart A. Wylie, and, to
justify himself, produced Wylie's receipt for
$23,000, referring the officers of those compa
nies to him for payment.
"That Wylie has been "settling" with those
veterans by paying them from $125 to. $175
each—some who refused
,these figures being
still unpaid—while the taxpayers are charged
with from $3OO to $320 eaoh for the credits.
"It is also alleged, and believed in quErters
well informed, that the intention was to pre
fer charges against Lie% Barnes, but that a
son of Col. Bamford, 'clerk in the Provost
Marshal's office at Harrisburg, being interest
ed with Barnes in the "profits,,"this' pro
oeeding was stayed by some' mystelicius in
fluence."
this Lieut. Barnes was for some time past a
prominent 'official" in,the office of the Pro
vost Marshal tltneral, under Lieut. Col.
Bamford, and we referred frequently to the
zastrty•complaints made against that . office.
it was notoriously proclaimed that none but
those who
_were _in the _g!ring'' °mad, *Fano
sot any business with promptness through
that office. Whether Col. Bomford's son had
any interest in these fraudulent transactions
we are linable to say, and we , refer our reaoers
to the closing paragraph of the article in
the Etzpress on that subject. It reads this:
"Since our last article,'we learn, to our •
sitrptise, that when the bounty money from
this city Was paid at Harrisburg, neither the
'Treasurer nor the Committee saw the men
'for vitLora,it was paid. It Was paid to certain
l'agehts," who were "endorsed" by Col. Bam
ford. This fact may throw some light upon
the suppression of proceedings against Lieut.
Barnes, for the reasons alleged—tbo loom
plicity of yetung Bomford, Sze."
If Col.,Bmliford really proyentedhivestiga
tion, let it be done now, -since he is removed
froth O&M. We' have no doubt that Major
rkkdge, thii, present ineumbent, - wilLeheerfully
have the matter investigated, and' we ,yticoPe
that it may be done without delay.
Whilst on this subject we would respect
fnlly call the attention of Major Dodge to the
notorious conduct of several bounty brokers,
who arts Constantly robbing the men who en
list in the service of the United States. It is
a notorions fact .that dishicts, •counties and
private individuals pay from $2OO to 5900
bounty for substitutes and credits to men who
enter the service, and - yet, the men who actu-
Ally enlist with an honest intention to
„serve
the Government faithfully, scarcely receive
oNE-Rhirm THE suer PAID. Some of these very
men who, ate engaged as bounty brokers in
this city to-day, are men' who have been dis
graeettillydischafged.from the United States
service, and are now doing•everything to M-
I
jtire the Government by al . & euslion,est:con
duct; others have been banished from this
city before for swimeldis,ted pierl, and we
hope that Maj. tiOdge,Ai e.. military coM
mandeiof the post, will - zAt tiderate them in
this department any longer. Let him follow

Slight Mittudation for Hqpe.
A Southern paper has the following
The'happiest augury of peace which the
telegraph wires have flashed, to us for two
years, as the Action of the Democratic Con
ventions of Kentucky, Ohio and Illinois.
They:have sent delegatesio the Natiohal Con
ventiou; with instructions ,to vote for a Peace
Platforin framed upon the principles of Long's
Nxecti;-= At last, then, the banner of truth
is being lifted over ths.ltesds of a people who
have been staggering in passion, blood and
darkness for three 'years.
Drowning men,. it is said, will catch at
straws, and we think the condition of Rebel
dout must' be deepeiste if it expects anything
from the action of the Chicago Convention.
The operations of, a score of such gatherings
can never inaugurate peace in this country
upon the policy suggested by Mr. Long. The
general Government has gone sufficiently into
this war to now continue it until nut an armed
rebel is left in the land. No proposition
looking to any other end would be entertained
by the loyal citizens of the United States.
They have expended their treasure and spilled
their blood to the accoinplishinent of this end,
and having grown earnest in the work; they
do not look back over the terrible field.of
carnage occasioned by rebellious attempts
against the Government. The only "banner"
they know is the flag of our country, and that
must and will float undisputed from the , lakes
to the - gulf. '
'PRE PRICE OF PArEn----Shall _Extortion Con
tinueP—The Bellows Falls Times thinks that
there is no necessity for the present high price
of printing, paper, and says that some of the
papers in the northern part of the State have
suggested that the newspaper publishers in
that State should combine and own or build
mills of their own. It says further, if this
matter had been seriously put forth only a
few weeks ago,u mill.could have been secured,
at a very reaionable price and on easy terms,
and paper could have been obtained at a cost
of less.than 16 cents per pound, which is 14
cents less than is now being asked, for it.
