    CENTRE HALL REPORTER.
FRIDAY, JULY 24th, 1868,
es Fon PREsIDEST:
HORATIO SEYMOUR,
of New York.
For Vice PRESIDENT:
GEN. FRANK P. BLAIR,
of Missouri.
DEMOCRATICSTATE NOMINATIONS
FOR AUDITOR GENERAL :
HON. CHARLES E. BOYLE,
of Fayette County.
FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL:
GEN. WELLINGTON H. ENT,
of Columbia County,
Willful Lying.
Gov. Seymour has ever been looked
upon, by men of all parties, a8 one of
the purest and best men of the country.
The opposition themselves acknowl-
edged this before his nomination by
the Democracy as their candidate for
the Presidency. During the late war
he was prompt in doing his full duty,
and his promptness in forwarding
troops, saved the country and Penn:
sylvania from being overrun by an in-
vading army, for which he received the
thanks of Lincoln and Stanton, as will
be seen on the outside of this week's
RerorTER. His deeds are
part of the history of the war, and the
record throughout, is in his favor, and
none but a villain and willful liar will
say ought but praise of him, so far as
that is concerned ; such willful liars
we now find among some of the radi-
cals, who are now laboring hard to
slander and traduce Gov. Seymour, in
spite of history, and assert that he was
“disloyal” and “sympathized with reb-
els.” The short history on our outside
will squelch all such villification.
Then, again, as to the New York
riot, caused by the Lincoln adminis-
tration in attempting to enforce a draft
upon that city for a number of men,
double its real quota, an outrage and
a wrong which its citizens very natur-
ally felt like resistiny. The rads now
charge that governor Seymour was the
cause of the riot, and that he led the
rioters. This is an infamous and wick-
ed falsehood ; the riot was eaused by
the attempt to draft an unjust quota,
and Gov. Seymour, when he heard of
it, hastened from Albany to New York,
and through his pursuasions the mob
was dispersed, and further disturbance
quelled. This evey honest man knows
to be a fact, and anything to the con-
trary is a malicious falsehood. As
proof, that the radicals are now slan-
dering Seymour in this regard, we hero
furnish an extract from a leading radi-
cal organ, published at the time the
riot occurred ; read it:
[From the Albany Evening Journal, tn
July, 1863.]
Governor Seymour, in so promptly
“declaring the eity ina state of insurree-
tion,” contributed largely to the sup-
pression of the mob. It gave immedi-
ate legal efficieney to the military arm,
and enabled the civil authorities to use
that power with terrible effect. It
showed, also, that it was Governor Sey-
mour’s purpose to “give no quarter” to the
ruffians who seized upon the occasion
of “a popular excitement to rob and
murder. The exercise of the power
thus called into service was effective.
The “insurrection” has been quelled.
The mob has been overpowered. Law
and order have triumphed and the rio-
tously disposed everywhere have receiv-
od a lesson which theg will not soon for-
get.
Now, to expose the wickedness of
these radical slanderers, we give
another extract from the same radical
organ, published since Seymour’s nomi-
nation, in which it eats its own words,
and which so palpably shows the dis-
position * to misrepresent and to
lie, that further comment is unneces-
gary. Now readthedifference between
the radical ergan in July 1863, and
the same organ in July 1868 :
[From the Albany Evening Journal
July 13, 1868.]
Then came the riots, Seymour went
down there. Had it been Andrew
Jackson, instead, there would have
been no palaver with the bloody crimi-
nals; He would have dispersed them,
by some other method, than by prom-
ising them all they asked. * * *
Look atthe scene. Rebel armies mus-
tering ; rebel conscripts hastening to
the'field ; rebel energies gathering. On
¢he other hand—a bleeding Union, a
pelsied army, brave and daring, but
reduced. A nation calls for help. It
decrees assistance. A yelping crew
filled with the spirit of rebellion, thirs-
1y for Meed, fired with rage, resist their
coygtry’s pleas and demands, and as-
sail the officers 6f the nation and the
innocent poor of their city. What does
Horatic Seymour do? Does he point
them to the ehligations of the citizen,
the dangers of the nation, and the im-
posiled brethren of the army ? Notat

North Carolina and Louisiana are
again represented in the Senate, or at
least gentlemen claiming to be such
representatives were on the 17th ad-
mitted to seats in that body. Of the
four gentlemen admitted, Mr. Pool, of
North Carolina, alone, is a native of
the State whenee he comes. Mr, Ab-
bott, his colleague, and Messrs. Harris
and Kellogg, of Louisiana, are carpet-
baggers. Mr. Kellogg comes from Il-
linois, Mr. Harris from Wisconsin, and
Mr. Abbott from New Hampshire,
originally, although for a few years
before the war he wasa resident of Bos-
ton, and edited the Atlas newspaper of
that city.
So with all the men, thus far admit-

ern States—all carpet-baggers, repro:

A Corruption Fund.
Below we give a copy of a printed
circular which was sent to the post-
master, of this place. It will be seen
that the radicals at Washington are
engaged in raising money for corrupt
political purposes, and in order to per-
petuate their tyrannical and wicked
rule. This assessment, by theso Jaco-
bins, has been laid upon every Post-
Master in the country, and if every one
of them was bad enough, or green
enough to remit the amount demanded
by these conspirators and enemies of the
country, the amount raised would be
enormous, as there are some 30,000
most of which are larger than this one,
and of course have an assessment cor-
respondingly higher. The Post Mas-
ter at Centre Hall, however, is too
pure a man and Democrat, to contri-
bute to a radical corruption fund and
all they get out of him won't buy a
drop of whiskey for their candidate,
sen. Grant. The following is the cir-
cular referred to:

Gov. Bigler.
Our usually gallant neighborof the
Watchman, of the 17th inst., says:
“We place at our mast head this
week the names of the Candidates nomi-
nated by the New York Convention,
Hon. Horatio Seymour for President,
and Gen. Frank P. Blair for Vice
President. * x x X
Our Convention did well in present-
ing for our support a Statesman for
President. Our country is sadly in
need of statesmanship at this time
* * X in supporting.
Seymour we know we are supporting
an honest, pure and capable statesman,
whose administration will redeem the
country from the effects of radical
domination and reflect great credit up-
on our party.”
These remarks are true to the letter,
and “have the true Democratic ring”
in them. But the closing part of the
editorial, in which the editor says:
“The one thing in the proceedings of
the convention to which we do most
seriously object is the false position in
which Pennsylvania was placed.
Through the maneuvering of a few
men like Bigler, Mott and Piolett.
Pennsylvania appeared aslittle in New
York as Bill Mann and his fellows made
her look at Chicago. It is time that
such tampering with the rights and
wishes of the people should cease. Un-
less it does, such men will soon be
taught a lesson which they will not ea-
sily forget.” =
We regret to see these unjust stric-
tures of our neighbor, against those un-
deviating and fearless Democrats. The
remarks are in had taste, and do no
good, except “giving aid and comfort”
to our political enemies. KEx-Gover-
nor Bigler is a favorite with the Demo-
cracy of the State, and out of it, and
we do know that the Democracy: of
this side are a unit in their confidence
and attachmend for Ex-Gov. Bigler,
whom they have personally known from
boyhood. In the Democratic conven-
tion at New York, the gentlemen re-
tio Seymour, who the Watchman truth-
fully declares, is “an honest, firm, and
capable statesman, whose administra-
tion will redeem the country.” What
more do we want? We ean not all
be gratified in our likes and dislikes—
and “principles and not men” is the
Democratic motto, to be practiced by
every Democrat.

in which men who honestly and faith-
fully served in the war, as well as erip-

from duty were placed as deserters,

stoners of the various counties, can now
be sent back to those who manipulated
them. We hope those persons in this
county who have been more vigilant

now rest in peace and cease making
cat’s paws of unsuspecting persons to
rake their dirty chestnuts out of the

Letfer From Milroy.
Mirroy, July 23d, 1868.
~t:
Mr. Epiror:—Again a week of
scorching heat has passed over us. The
thermometer stood from 91 to 102, dur-
ing the greatest part of the time. The
Radicals of this place, were very well
satisfied with the article in last wecks
number! Yes, so well satisfied that
one of them is carrying the “Reporter”
near his heart, and would not part with
it, for ten times its value. The Demo-
cratic club is progressing along finely,
and as soon as the farmers are done
with their harvest, its mectings will be
held more regularly, and the work
commenced in real earnest and with
full vigor. The only fatal idea here
13, that the Rads are not able to form
a club, which makes them quite uneasy
and restless,
Our farmers are very nearly done
with harvest but not so well satisfied,
as was at first manifested, asthe wheat
turned sut to have been very much
destroyed by the weavil and black
rust.
~ Since the improvements have been
commenced in this place, a new brick
yard has been erected, and brick are
being made rapidly, and a number of
brick dwellings are going up now.

Harrispura, July 16.—The Schuyl-

enstown, in Dauphin county some two
hundred in number, demanding com-
pliance with their terms or the closing
of the different works. They paraded
with drums, fifes and flags and visited

GALVESTON, July 17.—On the even-

Millican, Texas, on the Central Rail.
road. A mob of about twenty-five ne-
groes, headed by a white school teacher
named Brooks, is reported to have at-
tempted to hang a William Halliday.
The white citizens prevented the execu-
tion, and, headed by the Burcau Agent
»
and Sheriff, attempted to suppress the
mob, which resulted in the death of
ten or twelve negroes. On the 16th
the numbers increased on both sides
and skirmishing occurred during the
day, the casualties being estimated at
25. A small body of troops arrived
late last night and dispersed the rio-
ters, killing three negroes. The latter,
numbering from 300 to 500, had forti-
fied themselves three miles from Milli-
can and refused to lay down theirarms
till the troops dispersed them. The
entire loss was fifty er sixty. The dif
ficulty is said to have arisen from a
suspicion that a member of the Loyal
League had been hung, but who has
since been found.

Trouble in the Wigwam.
Old Thad. Stevens, the incarnation
of Radicalism, the authorized mouth-
piece exponent of the Republican par-
ty, flings “greenbacks forbonds” in the
teeth of his lamb-like followers, who
have bawled themselves hoarse crying
repudiation against all who favored
the doctrine. He states the case as it
is, for he had a hand in making the
law, yet the Democracy have been de-
nounced as worse than traitors, for in-
sisting upon the contract. Stevens
said in Congress on Friday last:
Mr. Stevens— What was the law?
That the interest should be paid up to
a certain time at six per cent. in coin.
After the bonds fell due these would be
pavable in money just as the gentle-
man from Illinois understood it; just
as he (Mr. Stevens) understood it ; just
as he well understood it. when the law
was enacted ; just as it was explained
on the floor a dozen times by the Chair-
man of the Committee on Ways and
Means. If he knew that any party in
the country would go for paying in
coin that which was payable in money,
thus enhancing the debt one-half; if
he knew there was such a platform and
such a determination on the part of his
own party he would, with Frank Blair
and all, vote for the other party. He
would vote for no such swindle on the
taxpayers of the country. He would
vote for no such speculation in favor
of the large bondholders and million-
aires. He repeated though it was hard
to say it—cven if Frank Blair stood
on the platform of paying according to
the contract, and if the Republican
candidate stood on the platform of pay-
ing the bloated speculators twice the
amount agreed to be paid them, and of
taxing his constituents to death, he
would vote for Frauk Blair, even if a
ticket.

engaged in writing a letter in an up-

Fhe fluid, tearing off’ some of the
weather-boarding first, entered the
room where she was thus employed,
and then passing through the floor to
a lower room struck Mr. McGirk, who
was shaving, and stunned him. After
recovering sufficiently from the effects
to do so, he ascended to the room
where Miss Mitchell was and found

The Southern Electoral Bill.
The action of the Senate in passing
the Southern Electoral bill by so large
a majority over the President's veto,
surprised many. Speculation is rife
as to what is indicated by a veto so
decisive. As was anticipated in this
correspondence, a Congressional con-
spiracy to seize the Executive branch
of the Government has been exposed,
and a hope was entertained that cer-
tain Senators would sustain the veto,
but the Radicals voted in a solid pha-
lanx, and will do the same when the
great issue comes as to what States

sentation, in order to justify their refu-
sal to count the votes in th Electoral

| The fact is now fully developed

Grant, is the candidate of the holders

the moneyed aristocrats of Great

| speculate udon our misfortuncs, and
bought up our bonds at low fizures,
' naturally oppose Seymour and gravi-
tate toward Grant. These men hold
a mortgage upon the estate of every
man, woman and child in this country.
They came here to draw their interest
in gold upon this mortgage, but they
are unwilling that it should be taxed
as other property is taxed. Now, is
this quite fair? If a subject of Great
Brittain holds real estate in this coun-
try, he is compelled to pay taxes upon
his property. Why then should not
another subject of Great Brittain who
holds bonds of the United States, which
are a mortgage upon the real estate of
this country, also pay taxes? Cer-
tainly, there is no reason why he should
not. Who, then, can vote for U. 8S.

A Specimen Voter.
The Hayneville (Alabama) Erami-
ner says:
There was a scene on one of our
streets last Thursday which has some-
thing more than an amusing side.
It will be remembered that light-
ning killed two cows near the Babtist
Chureh six weeks ago. A negro man
brought the hide of one of them
to a shopkeeper for sale. Several were
scated around, and they began to ques-
tion the negro in a jocular way.
Upon his confession that he had eaten
some of the cow because he had no
other kind of meat, he was told that
he now had lightning in ‘him, and that
if a lighted match was held to his breath
he would explode. The negro looked
very serious, but said that he had only
eaten a hindquarter, for when he went
back to get more the dogs and vultures
had been beforehand.” Besides, he
said he had not caten the thunderbolt.
A A
He was asked what kind of thing that
was, and ifhe had ever seen one. Yes
he had seen a great many; had dug
them out of the ground, and they were
shaped like an iron wedge, with a
blunt and sharp end. If they were
placed upright, with the sharp end on
the ground, they would go down into
the earth deeper every time there was
thunder. He was then asked if he
would swear before acourt of law that
he had dug these bolts outofthe groud,
to which he very promptly, emphati-
cally, and seriously declared that he
would.
Upon the authority ofseveral of our
citizens who know this negro, we can
say he is of full average intelligence
with the rest of his race, and is a man
of family. He is one of the stones
rejected by the original builders of the
American government, but who has
been made the head of the corner un-
der the. new dispensation. He is a
citizen, a voter, a juror, a witness in
courts of law, while such men as Watts,
Forsyth Clanton, Clay, Pettus, and
twenty five thousand of the first minds
of the State, are unfit to be several of
these things. “Mine Got, vot a people.

40 MILES
6
OF THE
Union Pacific
AD
Are now finished and in operation. Sixty
miles of track have been laid this spring,
and the work along the whole line between
the Atlantic snd Pacific States is being
pushed forward more rapidly than ever be-
fore. More than twenty thousand men are
employed, and it is not impossible that the
entire track, from Omaha to Sacramento,
will be finished in 1869 instead of 1870. The
means provided are ample, and all that en-
ergy, men and money can do to secure the
completion of this
GREAT NATIONAL WORK,
at the earliest possible day, will be done.
THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
RECEIVE:
I.—A GOVERNMENT GRANT of the right
of way, and all necessary timber and other
materials found along the line of its epera-
tions,
1I.—A GoverNMENT Graxt of 12800
acres of land to the mile, taken in alternate
sections on each side of its rond. Thisisan
absolute donation, and will be a source of
large revenue in the future.
111.—A GoverxMENT GRANT of United
States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting te
from $16,000 to $48,000 per mile, according
to the difficulties to be surmounted on the
various sections to be built. The Govern-
ment takes a second mortgage ss security,
and it is expected that not only the interest,
but the principal amount may be pald in
services rendered by the Company in trans-
porting troops, mails, &e. The interest is
now much more than paid in this way, be-
sides securing a great saving in time and
money to the Government.
IV.—A GovErNMENT GraXT of the right
to issue its own First Mertgage Bonds, to
aid in building theroad, te the same amount
as the U. S. Bonds, issued for the same pur-
pose, and no more. The Government Per-
mits the Trostees for the First Mortgage
Bondbolders to deliver the Bonds to the
Company only ae the road is completed,
and after it has been examined by United
Ntates Commissioners and pronounced to be
in all respects a first-class Railread, laid
with a heavy Trail, and completely supplied
with depota, stations, turnouts, earshops,
locomotives, ears, &e.
V.—A Carirar Swvoox Svmssonrreion
from the stockholders, of which over Right
Million Dullare have been paid in upon the
work already done, snd which will be in«
creased as the wants of the Company ‘re-
quire.
VI.—Nzr Casn Eagxixas on its Way
Business, that already amount to morethan
the interest on the First Mortgage Bonds:
These earnings are ne indication ofthe vast
through traffic that, must follow the epen-
ing of the line to the Pacifie, but they cer
tainly prove that =e my
FIRST MORTGAGE BOXDS
upon such a property, costing nearty three
times their amount,
Are Secure beyond any Contingen-
cy.
The Company have abundeat means in
their treasury, and make ne appeal to the
public to purchase their Bounds, asthe daily
subscriptions are entirely satisfactory; but
they submit that, for entire security and li-
beral returns, there is certainly mo ‘better
investment in the market.
The Union Pacific Bonds are for $1,600
each, and have coupons attached. They
have thirty years to run, and bear annual
interest, payable onthe first days of Janun-
ary and July at the Company's Office in the
City of New York, at the rate of six per
cent. in gold. The Principal is payable in
gold at maturity. At the present rate of
gold, these bonds pay an annual income on
their cost of
NEARLY NINE PER CENT.
ANDIT IS BELIEVED THAT THEx
MAY SOON BEAT A PREMIUM.
The Company reserve therighttoadvance
the price to a rate above par at any time,
and will not fill any orders or receive any
subscriptions on which the money has not
been actually paid at the Company's office
before the time of such advance.

The Dividends are paid annually, after

the dividends increase from year to year,
