From the Bellefonte Watchman.
"'0T GuiLTT. The. trial of Wm. Gaha
gan, of this place, charged with the larceny
t)f tombstones, from the Cemetery, showed
a different case entirely, when the tacts were
brught out before a jury, from the newspa
per reports. The whole case when simmer
ed down amounted to simply this : Gahagan
had" been instructed to clean a pair of tomb
etone th&t were ia the Cemetery, and mis
taking' the name, took the wrong ones,
which teerc returned immediately, on learn
ing that the mistake was made. Six weeks
ajtencanls he was arrested on -the charge of
stealing the tombstones, that he had brought
uway and returned as soon as he had ascer
tiined that they were the wrong ones. , The
following communication in regard to the
matter, we give cheerfully, although deny
ing the imputation that the Watchman cir
culated the report throughout the country :
31 R. Mkek: Some weeks ago you made
mention in your paper of the charge that
had been preferred against Win. Gahagan,
accusing him of having stolen totnb stones
from the Cemetery at this place. Since
then Wm. Gahagan has been tried in the
Court of Quarter Sessions and acquitted of
the charge. There was not a particle of
erid.nce tending to show guilt on the part
of the young man, and the injury that has
been done his character throughout the
country, by the circulation of the report
through the I Vatchman and ihc-Prcss should
now be repaired through the same channels.
It will be but a simple act of justice toVm.
Uiihagan and his friends, which I feel as
sured you will not refuse him, for you to tell
the people that he was sot guilty of the
horrible crime that was laid to his charge.
The whole transaction was the result of an
ill feeling existing between the prosecutors
and Wm. Gahagan for which Wm. Gaha
gan was not responsible.
There are people whose chief delight is in
slandering 'their neighbors who have a
rateneous jtchc'liMit for mischief that are
always ready to pass rumors on, with slight
additions of their own, until a simple rumor
notm becomes a horrible tale, and thus it is
that the fairest characters are defamed by
people the most unworthy. Once traduced
cverv one seems to think themselves at
liberty to defame and villify without re
rtnunt. Every one has his put as the story
i'ocs round like a poor dog, he is kicked
by each one as he parses, until clear out of
the bounds of all society. JBut in Wm.
ftahagan's case, uow let the story stop.
Twelre men upon their oaths, -after hearing
all the facts, have said that he is innocent,
and by their verdict have pronounced the
etory a slanderous tale. " Justice.

:he lacts relative to a snake story, which
were it not for the character of the voucher,
hut few would incline a credible ear to them.
On last Sabbath morning as Samuel Pres
ton, Abner Belt, James Belt and Abraham
Whetmore were walking on the farm of Wil
liam Campbell, two miles southeast ot Utica,
and near the residences of Samuel Preston
and Abraham Whetmore, they saw a snake
crawling into a log. They demolished the
log and killed his snakeship, and their search
for more was rewarded by finding a nest with
snake in it. After killing this snake they
turned their attention to the eggs in the !
nest, of which there were seventy-five.
The eggs were carefully broken, and in each j
found two snakes, about ready ..to
crawl out. The snakes killed were of the i
copperhead species, and Borne twelve inches i
m length. Washington township is a bad
place for copperheads.

The Hew Eebellion.r.
The peril of the Republic would be with
out remedy if Andrew Johnson were not
the leader of the new rebellion, and if he
were not followed by the Copperheads of
the North, who, after encouraging the slave
holders to make war on the loud promise of
continuous physical support, hid their cra
ven beads from the storm they had raised.
There are two sources of certain safety in
the ominous partnership between Johnson
and Jeremiah S. Black between the Cop
perheads and the man they first denounced
for his honest patriotism, then for his dread
ful exposure on the 4th of March, 1S65, and
only applauded when he turned his back
upon those who hud honored and excused
him, and took to his embrace the enemies
of his country and the slanderers of hinis-ulf.
These are, that such a partnership must
unite the whole body of the Republican party,
JSorthaud Ssouth, into a compact and Jiery
mass, burying all divisions and banishing
all despair, and also that it must admonish
tte recent rebels of the danger of trusting to
the same counsels that led them, into tie'ir
Jirst crime.
And thus it is, that great as is the peril
of the Republic, its speedy rescue and last
ing safety will be secured, because the au
thors of the new rebellion are Andrew
Johnson and the Northern Copperheads.
There is not an honorable or untainted
name identified with the new conspiracy. It
attracts all that is suspicious and treasona
ble ; it repels all that is patriotic and true.
Even the weak Republicans who allowed
themselves to be seduced by Johnson's early
fromises, and believed, or affected to be
ieve, that under the thin mist of these
promises all was not deadly decay, turn with
scorn from an association so repulsive, ivay
mond, of the New York Times, is now
among the loudest to denounce the crime of
his yesterday's idol ; and Seward himself
remains in the Cabinet, as we are told, only
to ward off the blows of the Presidential
madman. Every tried soldier has been per
secuted into becoming the foe of that wicked
despot ; and from Grant, in the War Office,
to the humblest private who followed Sher
idan, Thomas, and Sickles, the feeling is
cherished that Andrew Johnson is the ene
my of the soldiers who saved the Republic,
and the apologist of tho traitors who at
tempted to destroy it. - - -
And is there anything in this view of the
case, or in any other aspect of it, to turn a
Republican against his party or to convert
him to the new rebellion ? When Andrew
Johnson is forcing back the weak and timid
into the ranks, and constraining the ablest
military chieftans to declare him the enemy
ot the Republic, the great organization that
has never faltered should be inspired by a
new iuiDulse, and strengthened by a new
resolution. The issues before the people
are the same that gave victory to our arms
in the recent war; and the defeat of the
Republican party is simply the restoration
of the men who begun the rebellion. The
exultation of the Copperheads over recent
political successes, should rouse the Repub
licans to increased efforts, precisely 4is the
defeat of the Union arm at Bull Run
awoke the whole country to gigantic prepar
ations and ultimate triumph.
"Was the War Eight ?
This is the whole issue before us, stripped
of all incidental and outside matter. If it
was, we do not Want and will not have its
effects and concequenccs construed away.
This is now the objective point toward which
the Democrats are tending under the lead of
Judge B ack, and to this end they are at
tempting to fill onr courts with lawyers of
of the strict or Calhoun construction school.
Woodward tried to construe away the draft.
Sharswood attempted to constrne away our
national -currency. Black boldly decided
that the" nation had no power to defend its
own life. So it goes. Step by step they
undermind all that we have been living and
fighting for since 177G, and if let alone, in
a short time would have us repudiating ev
ery idea or semblance of nationality. These
men, too, are conscientious in their heresy.
Calhoun could not have been more so, and
therein is the great danger. If we believe
that our war was right, that our soldiers
died in a g od cause, and that our bayonets
gleamed through Georgia constitutionally,
then we must avoid, yea, spurn all men who
conscientiously believe the war to have been
wrong, and pronounce it, when they would
excuse it, an error and mistake. There is
no half way ground on this question. You
must vote for Williams and a constitutional
war, or Sharswood and an unconstitutional
war, 1
President Johnson's amnesty proclama
tion is repudiated by all the New York pa
pers except the World, and that, paper does
not say a word about it. The Herald calls
upon Johnson to resign, the Tribune ably
exposes his defnnce of the laws of Congress,
and the Times denounces his proclamation
as an "executive usurpation" "only short
of dictatorship.'.'. This is a fair index of
public sentiment in regard to the last' atro
city of the Accident in the Presidential chair.
The New York Sun says : The Republi
can loss in Vermont is attributed more to
the apathy in the late campaign than to
any political influence. The Democratic
vote in that State is comparatively so small
that the Republicans cannot often be induc
ed to muster their full force at the polls,
and the lack of interest in the late election
has caused a reduction in their majority to
the extent of 3,000 or 4,000.
The President directs that his late proc
lamation be furnished to each person hold
ing an appointment under any department.
The "Supreme . Magistracy of the Repub
lic," in the exercise, of its plenary sover

Gen. Sheridan at St. Louis. '
St. Louis, Sept. 9. The demonstration
to-night in honor of Gen. Sheridan was the
largest outpouring of' the people ever wit
nessed in the city. The torch-light proces
sion was nearly two miles long, and consisted
of over twenty posts of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and a large number of colored
organizations, the representatives of the
various wards of the city, the fire depart
ment, and an immense throng of citizens
generally.
The procession was nearly an hour filing
past the Southern Hotel, on the cast balcony
of which Gen. Sheridan, his staff officers,
the members of various committees and in
vited guests, were stationed. The crowd at
and in the vicinity of the hotel, after the
procession had passed, must have numbered
ten thousand people, and the number on the
streets on the line of march, could not have
been less than from twenty thousand to
thirty thousand.
After the enthusiasm of the crowd had
subsided,' Lieut. Gov. Smith delivered a
short but very cordial welcome to the Gen
eral, on behalf of the people of the State,
which was followed by a very eloquent ad
dress by Gen. Carl Schurz, in which he re
ferred to Sheridan as the model American
soldier, the hero of many battle-fields the
representative American chivalry, the states
man as well as the soldier to whom the peo
ple of" Louisiana and Texas will hereafter
look with gratitude and esteem as the man
who opened the way to permanent peace
and prosperity.
General Sheridan then stepped forward
and Tepl ed as follows :
"I presume you all know I never make
speeches. I regret exceedingly that I am
unable to make you one to nig )t; but this
kind welcome has been unexpected by me
entirely, and I can only return my" sincere
thanks for your enthusiastic aud kind wel
come.'' A few remarks were afterwards made by
Gen. Pile, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
In point ot numbers, enthusiasm, and gen
eral warm and hearty sympathy, many of
the oldest citizens say this demonstration
has never been equalled in St. Louis. From
eleven to one o'clock to-day the General re
ceived visitors at the hotel, and the crowd
of callers was almost incessant. The Gen.
will leave for Leavenworth to-moirow after
noon. . . ''
Juarez has ordered a general election for
President, Congressmen, and Justices of the
Supreme Court. The iudiciil office in Mex
ico is of great political significance, the Chief
Justice taking the 1 residential chair in case
of a vacancy during the term, which, in
that unquiet country, is the rule and not
the exception. Almost, all the leading
statesmen of Mexico, Juarez included,have
i; ecu -it some time chief justices of the em
pire, kingdom, or republie ; and it is on a
succession 'of this nature that Ortega now
claims the Presidency.
Gen. Ord has been laying out more work
for the reat Impediment at Washington. in
the removal, at one sweep, of the entire
city government of Vicksburg. We sup
pose this is an evidence of how Gen. Ord
interprets thelate Presidential proclamation,
injoining cn every one the vigorous execu
tion of the laws and the support of the
Constitution. The people will support him.
but from Washington, at present, he may
look but for the fate of Sheridan. It is
dangerous to send rebels whirling now.
A Mormon settlement is located in Min

and do not permit polygamy. The settle
ment is quiet and industrious.
Registration in Virginia has been com
pleted, and the official figures show a pre

Lake street, Chicago, sold for $3,000 a foot,

for real estate. Three years ago the same

The Houston Telegraph would prefer that
"two hundred thousand vipers" should be

The Chinese are spiritualists, and they
credit each person with six spirits. The
