Batb,Friday night and a disturbance took place
among the adherents of that party, during which
a nmu by the name of Buse,-au employe of the
Bethlehem Iron Compauy, was shot In the shout
der by a pistol ball. Some fellows declared that
the shot caine from a white house, and they en
deavored to getup a cry to burn it down. Through
the Interference of Mr. Chapman they were pre
vented from accomplishing this design. We are
Informed that the leader of the Bath Band,a D
an
ocrat, resides In that housemnd at the time uo one
but ladles were Inside. Whisky was the disturb
ing element'and a large number of the four hun
dred torches they carried to Bath,might have been
seen this morning, broken up and strewn along
the route of their march home.
SNIASII-DP. —111110(1y afternoon At half
past one o'clockom up empty coal train on the L.
Y. R. It. was thrown from the track by a misplaced
switch, below the bridge over Second street, and
the engine managed to run across the bridge on
the planks. Hut the cars got twk-ted up on the
bridge when the eugme stopped just over it, and
six of them were smashed more or less badly, three
being thrown over the bridge on the Street, ob
structing the city railway truck. The railroad
track was not torn, but the columns on the ricer
side of the bridge will have to be replaced, as they
were badly broken up. Tim wreck was partially
cleared away by six o'clock, leaving a damage
done of aboutsl,ooo. The engine was not Injured
In the least. All the train hands were fortunately
all on board of the engine at the time of the occur
rence, and were not hurt.
A lacer Fon LtFn.—Tuesday evening, about
quarter past six, a German was walking on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad bridge across the Little
Lehigh, kettle in hand and his pipe In his mouth,
and Intently observing a coupleot shifting engines
down towards the East Peon. Junction. Coming
from above was a coal train, unobserved by the
German and neither did the engineer see him un
til the engine was nearly on top of him. When
within a few feet of the German, and when his
death seemed to be Inevitable, the rygnal for down
brakes was blown. The German turned quickly
round and as It appeared to those on the train
that he would be mangled by the engine, he
Jumped upon the bumpers and was carried below
the Junction, by which time the hands succeeded
in stopping the train. lie was not Injured, for
tunately, and us ho descended to the ground, ho
coolly remarked to the engineer, " I lost mein hat
and mein gettle, but I sated mein pipe, ha, ha !"
FIIIBT AIM MEETINO.—The very large
meeting held at the house of J. Allen Trexler, In
the First Ward,Friday r.ight,was composed chiefly
of workers in Iron, whose attention to everything
that was said Indicated a sincere desire on their
part to do their voting in Oetoner end November
conscientiously anti Intelligently. Of the five hun
dred assembled, there were probably not twenty
persons who will fall to support the living priu
triples of the great Republican party at the polls,
when the proper time arrives. Mr. Trexler had
prepared a stand on the west side of his hotel,
from which the meeting was held, and the walls
of the house being wide and broad, the sound of
the speakers' voices was thrown with flue acoustic
effect to the limits of the crowd. More we go
any further, let us offer our congratulations to the
Republicans of the First Ward on their splendid
ward demonstration.
Wm. li. Alney, Esq., of the Second Ward, was
called upon to preside over the meeting, and mode
a few scathing and condemnatory strictures of the
slanderous and villifying policy adopted by our
opponents in this canvass, proving that they were
compelled to resort to these vile practices became
they had nothing else upon which they could
argue their case. 1.1 On. Miles Hainphreys was
then Introduced, and delivered a deliberate and
plain argument, showing what Interest the work
ing claims had In supporting the Republican .
ticket. Mr. Humphreya labored somewhat under
the embarrassment of a cold, but all could hair
him, and paid the closest attention to his remarks.

THE TERSE MILL TAx.—We are Informed,
upon reliable authority, that the Commissioners
contend they have authority for collecting the
tL ree mill tax on occupations, and have therefore
Instructed their collectors to collect the tax Of
cf.urse the collectors are bound to obey the Com
missioners, and the people most submit or stand
a suit. It Is something beyond our cotnprehension,
especially as the following letter says they have
no law to sustain them in the assessment of the
MEI
AUDITOR GENERAL'S OFFICE,
HARRISBURG, PA., July 80, 1872
Dear Sir:—ln reply to yours I would state
tlmre is no law allowing, the collection canny taxes
for estate purposes on professions, trades or occupa
tions; the Actof Assembly of June 2,1871, repeals
all former laws in reference to the assessment and
collection of theabove mentioned taxes. I enclose
you copy of the Act. The Commissioners of your
county were furnished with a copy of the =ante as
Is enclosed to you. Respectfully yours.
J. A. WAGGONER,
for J. F. Hartrauft, Auditor-lien.
In view of the conflict of opinion upon this sub
ject we think the Commissioners owe It to the
pe Tie to inform them from what source they re
ce've authority to assess and collect this tax.
Di , 36 it come from a higher power than the Com
m( wealth of Pennsylvania? If the Commission
er'. do levy upon property to collect this tax, and
It II shown that they have no authority In law to
do so, the person sued can recover damages from
the Commissioners. They can't claim a clerical
error on this point I
%lAN MEETING AT SLATEDAI.E.—A Repub
lican meeting was held at Slatedale, on Thursday
at which Lewis J. Roth presided. The first
speaker introduced was James 8. Biery, Esq . ., who
had a plain talk with the people upon the import
ance of looking up the voters and attending to
the naturalization of those who are entitled t
ciczeuship and have not yet received their second
papers. Ile then referred to county matters, giv
ing a scourging review of the fearful state of our
county Nuances, prophesying that the end of the
mi,rule of the Ring, was surely coming. Bucka
lea's infamous career during the past twelve years
was gone over, bringing to light the damning Ic
aw! of one whose hatred of the Government will
long be remembered, even after his body is c;m
(lived to an unhonered grave.
Mr. iluruphreys made a short, though telling
speech, eloquent, patriotic and sound. Me was
followed by J. L. Deane, EAq., an Irishman from
Philadelphia, who made a number of humorous
allusions to Horace Greeley, which were greeted
with roars of laughter. Ile closed with an clo
gavot and beautiful peroration upod the destiny
of this Nation under the wise, just and patriotic
policy of the Republican party. The meeting ad
journed with rousing cheers for the State and
National tickets.

ItEPORT OF THE INVESTIGATION COMMIT•
TEE.—The Committee appointed by the Court to
examine into the discrepancy of $5.),000 in the
Cot. my Debt Statement, reported to Court, this
mm ning, nS 1-0110W8:
To the HonoraLte the Judges of the Court of Quar
ter "C, ,tons rf Lehigh County: —The undersigned
Committee appointed as per annexed recommen
dation of the Wood Jury, and order of the Court
thereon, beg leave to report that in the discharge
of their duty they proceeded to exatalins the books
one accounts of the C'ammissioners and the Treas
urer, with a view to ascertain the manner of their
keeping their accounts, and the general routine of
bue:uess prevailing with and between these two
ofli:es. To aid no in obtaining a better knowledge
than could he had from the book 1, papers, records,
she. ' we proceeded to question the two clerks of
the Commissioners, viz: —Godfry Peter and Lewis
Engelinanatiol the clerk of the several Treasurers,
Joseph E. Barnet. The result of our examination
of these gentlemen sod the facts ascertained there
from will, le the opinion of your committee, be best
and. more properly presented in their own lan
guage, which Is as follows:
(here is reported the evidence in full.)
1 our committee then Proceeded to examine tile
lost honk of the Conimisaioners from January 1,
186.1, to January I, 187 i; and after careful exam
len sloe we found the same to show the county
Indebtedness to be $29,51511 . 9 less than the amount
shown by the auditors' report. Wu next proceed
ed to ascertain the amount of outstanding loans,
by taking the amount the Treasurer had charged
himself with from January 1, 1866, to January 1,
1872, and deducting therefrom the amount of can
celled bonds and notes as presented to us by the
Cotemisslonets,and for which they claimed credit,
It I/ j3pearyd that the county indebtedness was $lB,-
592.14 more thee the indebtedness of the county
as shown by,the auditors' report. After several
' unsuccessful efforts to ascer ain those discrepan
cies and discover, it possible, the cause therefor,
we abandoned•the book and account of the Com
missioners and proceeded to examine the account
of the several Treasurers as kept by their clot it,
Joseph E. Balliet, from January 1, 1864, to Jan
uary 1, 1872, mid compared the same with the
vouchers drawn on him, which we fouud correct,
t.xceptin the year 1864, which we foetid the ite
gre4att. $5 over, and in the year 1865 895 over, and
in 1870 $l7B snort, by which Treasurers account
it appears that the outstanding loans or indehtcl
ness of the county Is $315,028.05, which is the
amount reported by the County Andltors January
1. 1872. The loan account and the records of the
but de Rimed, and of those paid off on the part of
the Commissioners, should have been equally ex
plit it and should be at all times so kept that the
county indebtedness could be shown on any day
without reference to the account of the County
Treasurer, to that or any other account, and so as
to have enabled your Committee to have tested by
comparison the correctness of the outstanding in
debtedness of the county us exhibited 'my the books
01 the respective Treasurer, thus to certify to the
same as exhibiting the actual state of the Indebi
°daces of the county.
• Touching the matter of the Auditors' Report '
for the year v3)(110141871, whereby the Indebtedness
of he county is increased about $BO,OOO over that
of last year, we have to report that the immediate
cause for this dlffereace lies in the fact that the
Au Ikons for years 1868, 1860, 1870 brought for.
ward the net balance of the Indebtedness of the
county for the past year, which net balance was
obtained by deducting the cash In baud of Treas
urer and all uncollected taxes from the outstand
ing indebtedness. Instead of carrying forward the
while amount of loans unpaid. Had the commis
sioners kept or caused to be kept a record of all
the bonds Issued, and an accurate account thereof,
and of the bonds paid off, they would have known,
as they should have known, and as it was It part
of their official duty to know, the true amount of
the county indebtedness. Then these mistakes
could not !rive happened.
However negligent or incompetent Auditors
might have been, a correct knowledge ou the part
of the former Commissioners of the linauees of
the county and Its indebtedness would have real
derA this error Impossible, and the service of
your committee unceeessary. It Is a proper sub
lect of mention that the Commissioners' loan book,
prior to 1864, has disappeared and can not be'
found, while Mr. Peter, Wu former Clerk, asserts
positively that he left it in the Cominisrloners'
Oleo at the exptratiOn of his official term. Mr.
Elgelmau, his successor, is equally positive that
It was not there when he came Into the office, in
the year 1867. A tusJority of your committee,
understanding the scope of their duties and powers
to be limited to the enquiry as to.the true and cor
rect amount of the outstatiding indebtedness of
the county, January 1, 1872, their examination
was not extended beyond an endeavor to ascertialu
that fact.
All of wbleb arc respectfully submitted.

EMAUB MEETING.—AIt large meeting was
hold at Emans, on last Saturday evening, which
was addiussed by Mr. Man k, in German, and
Messrs. Diary, Kauffman and Snyder, In English.
It was a great success.
AN immense Republican meeting was held
at Reading, on Thureday night, at which the
Allentown Clubs, over 300 strong, were present.
Gen. Ihrtranft was there, and so great was the
enthusiasm, that ho could not move, or say three
words, without being Interrupted with wild ap
plause.
THE COLD WEATHER, of the past few days,
has stirred up people for making extensive pur
chases of dry goods. The change has bad a re
markable effect upon trade at Kramer's Corner
Store where the people go en mane to avail them
selves of the great bargains which can be procured
there.
WE are told of a man's going to Mauch
Chunk and asking Judge Packer for pecuniary
aid for one of the Democratic Ward Clubs of this
city, representing himself as its president. The
Judge gave him ono hundred dollars, it Is said,
and now it transpires that Instead of being an
°Meer of the club he is only a private. Only so
the club got the money, though whether It did or
not of course we do not know.
A Mou-Piticitn nonsg.—Hon. John D.
Stiles has purchased John Moser's black horse
"Lion," for which he paid $l,OOO. The animal
was brought from Canada, and under the excel
lent "grub" that Lynn township farmers supply
to their animals, he shows now, at the age of
seven, a speed considerably better than 2:40. He
Is a Grant and Wilson horse, but entertains no
animosity to his present humane owner on that
accOllnt.

R. C. ETTINGER,
Tug crowded suito of our columns to•day
forbids the extended report of the gigantic Repub
lican demonstration made In the two Ilethlehems
on Saturday night last, which we would Iil:u to
Rive. The exercise of candor will compel even
the bitterest enemies of our cause to acknowledge
that the procession was the largest and best of the
compalgn on either side, while the perfect order
which prevailed and the absence of all drunken
ness must extort praise from the same unwilling
source. The Republicans of this State are rising
up in their might to the support of their candidates,
and at the elections will hurl back their slanderers
into, the obscurity 'whence they for a time have
emerged.
There were enough men in line with torches to
extend over the distance of nearly two miles, and
118 the long procession was viewed from au els
vated standpoint, the windings of the solid col
umn of flame and the bright Illumination of the
route formed the most magnificent spectacle ever
witnessed in this valley, which will continue fresh
in the recollection of the people of the Bethlehems
for years to come. The exact number of torches
In line we will not state, as we did not count them,
but any count far below two thousand will, In our
Ju Igo:tent, be a small estimate. The meeting 55115
addressed by Mr. II utnphreys, of Pittsburgh, and
Win. S. Kirkpatrick, the ablest young lawyer 11l
Easton, w hose * remarks were fraught with Interest
and full of facts that will not fall to produce
favorable results.
•We forgot to say that the somewhat novel fea
ture of mounted torch-bearetu was preheat and
led the procession, to the number of about fifty ,
and supplied a flue effect. We say fifty, but that
