Our Paper.
We this week present our readers with the
Journal enlarged about nine columns, and
in a new dress. We have blown no trum
pet, but have quietly made these improve
ments because we thought they were due to
our patrons and the great party whose prin
ciples we advocate, and that we might be
the better able to do our whole duty in the
important canvass that is upon us. The
Journal is now the largest paper printed in
the county, and we trust our friends will
approve our effort to make it worthy of
their continued support.
The Registry Law.
The Supreme Court lust week, by a bare
majority, decided the Registry Law enacted
by the last Legislature, to be unconstitu
tional so far as ii applies to the city of Phil
adelphia. Judge Strong concurred in the
decision of Thompson and Sharswood, be
cause the phraseology ot the Act was bad.
Judges Head and Agnew dissented, and de
livered opinions fully sustaining the law.
Sharswood seems to be the only J udge on
the bench who is entirely opposed to a Re
giptry Law. Our friends in Philadelphia.
who voted tor him bec:iusc it was not a
political office," have doubtless got their
eyes opened. Well he may be opposed to a
Registry law, for if a stringent one had been
in force hwt fall, he would not now occupy
a seat on the Supremo Hench John Casey
would not be iu his grave Trany would not
have disgraced the priesthood by the pay
ment of hush money hundreds of deluded
foreigners would not have perjured them
selves Woodward would not Lc in Cora,
gresd disgracing the Stale and shaming the
country and the loyal people of the land
would have been spared the mortification of
seeing Pennsylvania carried by the disunion
party.
Hon. Samuel Linn.
By reference to his letter in another col
umn it will be seen that the Hon. Samuel
Linn, President Judge of this Judicial Dis
trict, has resigned, and will return to the
bar. We regret exceedingly the necessity
for this determination on the part of Judge
Linn, for as a learned, able and upright
Judge he had few equals, and no superiors.
He has filled the position for nearly nine
years, with signal ability and impartiality,
though called upon, by reason of the pro
tracted struggle through which our country
has passed, to deal with many new, compli
cated, anJ most important que.-tions. He
has justly earned a judicial reputation sec
ond to that cf no other judge in the Com
monwealth. He commanded the confidence
and respect of the entire bar of the District,
and his opinions and decision were always
cheerfully acquiesced in by the people. He
retires with the best wishes ot all our citi
zens, for the restoration of his health, and
for his future success in whatever business
or enterprise he may engage.
Hon. J. B. licEnally.
On Thursday last Gov. Geary commis
sioned J. B. McEua'ly, Esq., ot this place,
as President Judge of the 2:th Judicial dis
trict, to 11 the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Judge Linn.
This is a merited compliment. Mr. Me
Enally is an able lawyer and a man of un
impeachable integrity He will fill the po
sition with credit to himself and advantage
to the community. His appointment will
be acceptable both to tho bar and the
peo-
pie of the District.
If our Democratic friends uave any diffi
culty in selecting a candidate, they cannot
do better than t0 assist us in electing Mr.
McEnally.who possesses all the requisites of
a competent, upright and impartial Judge.
Terms of Journal two dollars a year
in advance.

Something to Remember.
The few true soldiers who were seduced
into the so-called "Democratic Soldiers
Convention" at New York must have short
memories, or they certainly would not ha.ve
disgraced themselves by associating with
such company or by espousing such a cause.
Have they forgotten that on the Fourth day
of July, 1S63, tho Icmocracy held a Con
vention at the Academy of Music in New
York, under the auspices of the '"Young
Men's Democratic Association," which was
addressed by Seymour, who declared the
war a failure and advised us to make peace
with the South cn their own terms? That
be denounced the national authorities as
despots and tyrants, declared that the arrest
of Vallandighatn was the sure sign of the
loss of all things dear to the American citi
zen, and called upon every man to arouse
himself and oppose the Government?
Have they forgotten that while this very
Convention was in session and this disloyal
speech was making, far away at Gettysburg,
Vicksburg and Port Hudson the air was
thick with the smoke of battle and the
ground was soaked with patriotic blood
that charge after charge was making in sweat
and agony that firm as rocks against fiend
ish rebel assaults stood the long :ines of beys
in blue dashing into bloody fragment! the
horde of traitors that struck at law and or
der and the country ! that it was the dry
of glorious death to thousands ot their
brothers of unutterable woe to the hearts
and homes ot their kindred all over the
laud and that in all the speech making
and rcsoluiions of this Democratic Conven
tion in all the contempt they heaped upon
the Government and the cause of the coun
try, there was not one single word of sym
pathy, or cheer, or faith, or hope, or grati
tude for the dead and dying heroes of the
Union ?
Thank Heaven that the 4th of July 18G3,
which was disgraced by the speeches of men
who called themselves Democrats, was also
immortalized by the heroism of those who
defeated in the field the foe to w hom these
"Democrats" sighed to surrender. We pity
the soldier who is found in the ranks of his
country's enemies.
The Side Show.
As a tender to the Copperhead Conven
tion in New York, there assembled what
was called a "Democratic Soldiers' Conven
tion." It is very much cheaper and less
dangerous to hold soldiers' conventions now
than it was during the war. Then soldiers'
conventions were held all along the front,
ii-n Vtiitalist to Itfctimtmvl, bato no call
was issued for them by the Democracy. In
these conventions, Copperheads were not
anxious to be delegates. When summoned
so peremptorily that it was impossible to
evade it, they followed the exam pie of their
illustrious chairman, and procured a "nig
ger" to represent I hem. Their conventions
then were held in Cttiitda. or if perchance
on this side of the boundary, in forrests nd
mountains in ambuscades and fastnesses,
where they skulked from the draft, and
caused Hie arniv to be depleted by
the regiments necessary to ferret tnem t,
and bring them to a sense of duty. Demo
cratic Soldiers' conventions forsooth ! What
a farce !
Judicial Election.
The resignation of Judge Linn will ren
der it necessary to elect a President Judge,
at the October election. As it was not
known that he would resign when our Coun
ty Convention was held, no judicial confe
rees were appointed, and their selection will
now devolve on the County Executive Com
mittee. It would be most desirable to select a
Jutlze without regard to polities, and if our
friends and the Deraoorats could wgree upon
sonic able, impartial and upright man, it
would lc better to elect him without party
nomination. As, however, we are probably
in the minority in this district, we can
scarcely expect to le consulted in the mat
ter. But if the Democrats will select a
good, hitfh minded, honorable and compe
tent man, he will satisfy all parties minor
ities as well as majorities. All we want is
an upright and impartial Judge.
Grant's Supporters.
General Grant Ls supported by every il
lustrious soldier in the Union Sherman,
Meade, Sickles, George II. Thomas, Hooker,
Pleasanton, M'DoweII,Canby, Emery, Seho
fiold, M ower, Ord, Halleck, lviipatric-k, Lo
gan, HawliHgs, and a host of volunteer gen
erals, many of whom have heretofore been
Democrats. But more than all he is sup
ported by the whele army of "boys in blue"
that noble band who bore the heat and
burden of the day. and led on by him,achiev
ed vVtory after victory, until the shattered
columns U treason and rebellion threw down
their arms and begged for q uarter. All the
heroes of the war titled and untitled en
thusiastically support tl greatest captain
of the age.
Vert Forgiving. Gen. Napoleon Bo
naparte Forrcst.who murdered in cold blood
his colored prisoners of war at Fort Pillow,
has kindly condescended to forgive the
Union soldiers who were wicked and. uncon
stitutional enough to fight in defence of
their country. N0 doubt the boys in blue
feel better after this magnauimons announce
ment of tho rebel butcher.

The Kew York Convemtion.
The character of the motley crew that as
sembled in New York on Saturday, -nd cal
led itself the "Democratic Natkual Con
vention," is without a parallel in this or any
other country. The Northern wing was
made up of Canadian refugees, bounty jum
pers, 'circlers,' Camp Douglass conspirators,
deserters, repudiators, genuine "Copper
hearts," and old-time "Locofocos," with
Brick Pomeroy, Dirty Shirt Dean, "Bowles,
Miiligan, and Horsey," Vallandigham and
Fernando Wood to lead them. The South
ern wing was composed of Wade Hampton
(ex-rebel general), James Chestnut (a sece
ding United States Senator and member of
the rebel Congress), Judge Aldrich (last
year removed by General Canby trom his
judgeship for open hostility to the Govern
ment), ex-Governor John L. Manning (rebel
commissioner from South Carolina in 1861,
and member of the State Convention that
declared South Carolina out of the Union) ,
M. L. Bonham (one of the seceding mem
bers of Congress, representative in the rebel
Congress, rebel Governor of South Carolina,
and one of the rebel commissioner to Bu
chanan who demanded that the general Gov
eminent should not attempt to hold Fort
Sumpter), Robert Barnwell Rhett (the Cal
houn of the rebellion, the first man who in
the United States Congress, of which he was
both a Representative and Senator, openly
advocated a dissolution of the Union), and
Napoleon Bonaparte Forrest, the fiend of
of Fort Pillow. Beauregard was on hand as
general adviser. Breckinridge arrived at
Toronto from France in time to be consult
ed, and John Surratt, "late of the Confed
erate Civil service," was within convenient i
distance to add his advice and make known
his wishes. We ought to bo exceedingly
thankful to these distinguished gentlemen,
that after the "late uuplcasantness," they
are so willling and anxious to take the con
trol of the Government of the U. States.
This promiscuous crowd assembled on the
Fourth of J uly, nnfortunatcly a most ill
omened anniversary for them, for it was on
that day in 1803, that their common cause
was so overwhelmingly overthrown at Get
tysburg and Vicksburg. They met in con
vention both wings united, to redeem if pos
sible, what the Southern wing then lost, but
the attempt will only result in another and
still more disastrous defeat.
It was, indeed, fitting that New York
should be selected as the place for holding
this Convention, for it is in all respects,
to-day, the most disloyal city in the Union.
Moreover, there was a convention there five
years ago in July 18G3 which has not
been forgotten by the loyal people of the
land, and which was as thoroughly Demo
cratic as the one which met there on Satur
day. That Convention burned an Orphan
Asylum ; sacked private houses; beat, mu
tilated and murdered inoffensive citizens ;
robbed men, women and children in broad
day-light on the public streets; pillaged
Brook's clothing establishment; killed Col.
O'Brien of the Eleventh New York, and
dragged his body through the streets with a
rope; committed every crime known to the
calendar, n..a -u i ,u. nnme of Temocra.
cy opposing the Draft! What city could
present a more corrupting record to the
members of such a Convention? What spot,
save Andersonvillc or Salisbury, could be
more congenial to Democratic sympathies?
Truly, New York with its foreign element,
its multitudinous rum-holes, its Five Points,
its dens of iniquity, and above all its numer
ous mobs with their Democratic record, was
the spot of all others, the most fitting for
such a convention.
And Horatio Seymour was of all men the
most fitting to preside over such a gathering
in a place so appropriate. Five years ago
he was Governor of the State, when the
Democratic mobs butchered and murdered;
burned, robbed and destroyed ; howled.
screamed and danced through the streets in
a perfect carnival of blood. In the very
hight of their diabolical frenzy he addressed
them as "my friends," and could find no
means to "coerce" them to obey the laws,
and to desist from murder, arson, rapine and
robbery. Moreover, he was at all times the
caruest friend of the rebellion, and in the
very beginning declared that if slavery must
go he was iu favor of letting the Govern
ment go with it. Who, cf all men, was
more eminently adapted for permanent pres
ident of this piebald gathering of rebels,
draft-sneaks, copperheads, and traitors?
The very elements of which this "Demo
cratic National Convention" was composed,
make it a stench in the nostrils of all true
patriots. Its work will be in vain, for its
candidates are doomed to an overwhelming
defeat. The people.who have endured such
sacrifices of treasure and blood as the world
never before witnessed, ti preserve this
Government from armed treason and rebel
lion, will not consent to hand it quietly over
to the tender mercies of the same traitors
and rebels who were defeated in the field.
Three hundred thousand slaughtered heroes,
would start up trom their graves to rebuke
such an insult to their memories. Their
surviving comrades would never permit a
betrayal so base and infamous to be con
summated. La-t evening's mail indicates a fight over
the platform, an effort being made to adopt
it befnre the nominations are made. Well,
"when rogues fall out," etc
Behold the Man !
Before the assembling of the New York
Convention the Herald contained the fol
lowing advice :
"But if the Democratic (Convention must
nominate a soldier it it must have a name
indentified with the glories of the war we
will recommend a candidate lor its lavors.
Let it nomiuate General Robert E. Lee.
Let it boldly take at once the best of all its
soldiers, making no pulaver or apology. He
is a better soldier than any of those they
have thought upon and the greater man.
There never was such an army or such a cam
paign, or such a general for illustrating the
military genius and possibilities ot our peo
ple : and this General is the best of all for
a Democratic candidate, and affords the best
promise of any soldier for Leating Grant."
And why should he not have been nomi
nated? Who ever labored more assiduous
ly to establish the Democratic doctrine of
the divinity of slavery.and the rights of the
States? Did he not perjure himself before
high Heaven and in the face of mankind to
lead the hordes of treason and rebellion
against the Government he was sworn to
support? Did he not starve the Union sol
diers in Andersonville and Libby ? Is he
not to-day the very idol of the Copperheads
in the North and the Rebels in the South?
Of course "This General is the best of all
for a Democratic candidate." He is their
representative man. In him the whole
Democratic party and creed is incarnated,
and if they were not seeking to obtain pow
er and place under false pretences, he would
have been unanimously nominated as their
candidate.
Sensible William. The chairman of
the Democratic State Central Committee
informed a friend in Pittsburg, a short time
since, that it would be a hard job to carry
Pennsylvania against Grant and Colfax ; and
to prove it he demonstrated that last fall
the Democratic judge was elected by less
than a thousand majority, with theDemo-
crats polling ninety-four per cent of their
whole vote, and the Republicans seventy-
five per cent, less on theirs. Sweet William
evidently -sees the hand-writing on the wall.
Improved. The Brook ville Republican
comes to us iu a new dress. We are glad
to' see this evidence of prosperity on the part
of our neighbor. The Republican is a good
paper, neatly printed and well edited, de
serving a liberal and cordial support.
Cops Vote Against White Men.
Twelve hundred Southern white men
were, on Monday, J uue 2 2d, made citizens
by act of Congress. All the Cops in the
House except one, voted against removing
the disabilities of those twolve hundred
white men. In referring to this fact the
New York iV.fay
"We have been told so often by the Dem
ocrats that this is a white man s Govern
merit, that we supposed, not unnaturally,
thev would i ivf ullv vote to make it so ; but
they seem to prefer what they call negro
rule. J he fact is, we suppose, that tbey
would disfranchise evetybody but the Dem
ocrats : for we notice that wherever they
can get a negro to vote the democratic tick
et they have nothing to say against black
votes.
The special advocates of a "white man's
Government," in this county, will have to
le "wide awake," or their friends in Con
gress will sell them nody ana freecnes
and put them on an "equality" with their
much dcKpino-1 "Boutliern brotbcW iL
"niggers."
The Democracy have an nerro on tho
stump in Virginia, who declares himself to
be a Virginian, a real Virginian, and will
not take the oath. His name is Lafayette
Washington, and he is considered quite a
windfall to the party. We are pleased to
observe, as we do through the medium of a
real Virginia paper, that Lafe's speeches
are making "a profound sensation," nor are
we surprised at the remark of acorrespon
dent of the Washington Hejiultlican, that in
Virginia "a Democratic nigger does not
even smell bad." He becomes a man and
brother the moment -he gets on the Demo
cratic fcidc. So we go.
With one accord the Democratic journal
are beginning to open with personal abuse
and angry invecuve on Gen. Grant. Th
"butcher," the "drunken tyrant," the
"dumb bayonet," resound from every side
just six years ago the martyred Lincoln
was only mentioned with the bitter epithets
of "cyrant," "usarper," "ape." Itcannot
be forgotten that it was the incendiary lan
guage of pretended respectable Democratic
papers that sped tho bullet of the assassi
Booth. Are they scheming another murder
now? Time will tell.
The opposition press frequently assert
that Grant was unsparing of the lives of his
men, and assail him as a butcher who reck
lessly sacrificed his troops. Now the facts
of history effectually put this slander down
Before Grant took command, the Array of
the Potomac lost in killed, wounded an
missing 145,118 men. The subsequent los
ses were 00,501. Gen. Grant's operations
embrace the great fighting which caused the
rebellion to succumb. For his losses he had
something to show, which cannot be said of
other commanders.
The Hartford Post says : "Ninety-nine
soldiers out of every one hundred will in ad
dition to their n aural repugnance to De
mocracy, excited ;y the course of that party
toward them in the war, feel that he abuse
hurled against General Grant by Democratic
presses and spealers, while pretending to a
decent respect for all soldiers, is really a di
rect insult to theaiselves which they will re
sent in solid columns at the polls in Novem
ber." That's a fact.
The Democrat in Congress are greater
Bourbons than the Bourbons. Not content
with voting agaiit reconstruction and the
pardon of the white men of the South, they
insanely ridicule and attack the colored peo
ple, even while their rebel brethren are down
on their knees beting the colored people to
vote against the Radicals !
