As District Attorney for Ibis County,
nud undcrobllgallonassucli to prosecute
offenders against Hie laws of the Com
monwealth, 1 deem it my duly, to call
your attention to a (paction of voting
at tho approaching election.
In the Constitution ot tho State, you
will llnd thoqitallllcatlonsof an elector,
plainly set forth; nnd '.Mil thero be
sonio Radical change In i'mit instrument,
wo must accept It us It Is.
The General Election Daws more ful
ly reclto these quallllcatloiis, and these
laws must bo our guide In dermlntng
who shall, and who shall not participate
In the privileges of the ballot-box.
It ha been maintained by some, for
political effect, that a class of persons
commonly called " deserters," are not
entitled to vote at State elections, and
that an election board must reject their
votes.
On the eleventh day of June, isi'.il, an
act of Assembly was pa-sod Intended to
carry Into effect the act of Congress
pased on the third of March, Wi, dc
prlvlngcertaln persons commonly called
"desorlors" of the right to vote. Sub
sequent to this, tho Supremo Court of
this State has pronounced that tho act
of Congress cannot be enforced by elec
tion boards, they can only act after trial
and conviction by competent tribunals.
Judge Strong who delivered tho opin
ion of the court, says:
Tho act of Congress means that the
forfeiture which it prescribe.'', llko all
other penalties lor desertion, niu-t lie
adjudged to the convicted persons, ap-
Ti:lt Tit! A!. HV A COt'liT MAllTIAI. AM)
hi:kti:nti: Ai'ritivi:i. Eor the con
vlclion and sentence of such a court,
there can ho no suhslltute. T hev alone
establish tho guilt of the accused, ami
fasten uiion him the legal conscouences.
Such, we think, is the true meaning of
llie act, a construction thai cannot lie
denied to It without lo-lnir sight of all
previous legislation respecting the sub
ject matter, no part of which doe.s this
act proiess to niter.
The ground taken by Judge Strong is,
that thero must bo an necusition a
court a trial a conviction a 'entence
mi approval of that sentence; and a
record showing all these must precede
the punishment. Not until all this ha
been gone through with, can an election
board Injaliif reject tho vote of any of
thnt class of persons called "deserters."
AH persons are preitimed innocent till
they are proven guilty. They are not
to bo ptuiMied wrniiUT ltr.coiii) i:vi
nr.xiT. or toxvu'i'iox.
Hy tho one hundred and third section
of the General Election Daw of second
of July, 1S:!!, it is provided :
If any Inspector or Judge of any elec
tion shall knowingly reject tho vote of
any qualified citizens each of
tho persons so offending, shall on con
viction, be jmnKhed in tho manner pre
scribed in tlio one hundred and seventh
section of the acl, (i e, by a line of not
les-s than fifty dollars nor mora than
two hundred.)
liy section 0110 hundred and ten of the
ejection law above mentioned it is pro
vided that
"If any person shall uo or practise
any Intimidation, threats, force, or vio
lence with design to influence unduly,
or overawe any elector, or to prevent
him voting, or to restrain the freedom
of choice, such per-on on conviction
shall be fined in any sum not exceeding
five hundred dollars and be imprisoned
for any time, not less than one, nor more
than twelve months."
y tho act of Assembly just recited it
appears that tho voto of every person
qunlilled under the Stato constitution
nnd laws must be received, that its re
jection is an indictable offense.
This (jue.-t ion has been fully decided
by the Supreme Court of this State, and
therefore cannot come within the prov
ince of an election board. No man'n
private feelings can be consulted inJfrs
matter. We have laws laid down for
our guidance and control, and wo must
observe them In determining the quali
fications of a voter.
It is desirable that election ofllcers and
citizens -hould pay due attention to the
laws of thU State regulating tho right
of .suffrage. It is tho duty of all good
citizens to observe the laws of tho land
;ind see that no qualified voter is denied
the privilege of tho elective franchise.
In all cuscs where there may have
been a rejection of legal "voters, or an
Intimidation of voters, it will be incum
bent upon 1110 as representing the In
terests of tho Commonwealth to see that
prosecutions aro promptly instituted
and due punishment indicted.

A ITow Candidate for Assembly in tho
Field.
Tho following we clip from tlio.Vwt-
ijlr-.lHirri'wi:
A.si:miu,v. -The light between the
two wings of the Democratic party, in
tho district, on their rival candidate
for Assembly, Is still going on. The
Republican party has made arrange
ments to have a candidate In the field
and Intend to elect lihn, "NVe assure our
friends that tickets will be furnMicd in
time, as the Republicans in this countv
are determined to have a candidate lii
the (leid. If that -hould scare either of
tho Democratic candidate-, from the
track, why lethlmgo. We shall vote
our own ticket, lo-u or win.
Tun post-olllco in Rloonisburg has
been removed, and is located In a fine
brick building, two doors west of the
Court House. It can bo reached with
out wa'dihg through mud and slush, and
will bo a thorough and lasting conve
nience, to tho people. Miss Ada Rupert,
daughter of Judge D, R. Rupert, is act
ing as deputy.
O.v Thursday evening last a spirited
meeting of the Democracy ns-eniblod at
the school-house, In DightStreel. John
Itobison, E-q., presided, and Jeremiah
Ilagenbuch, Esq., was elected Secretary.
The meeting was addressed by General
Kut ami Colonel l'ree.e, Tho drum
corps was out and dlscoiii.-ed excellent
imiilc, and tho meeting adjourned with
threo cheers for inciter Clymcrand the
whole Democratic ticket.
Tato'fl Objoot.
Tin: eonsnlrac.v between Tale, Jaco
by, l'riilt and Doehr John, has soino
special object not yet fully developed.
That is evident to every man In the
County. Tate was a candidate for the
Senate. Refero Hie meeting of the con
vention Doctor John witnessed a pref
erence for Tate. Tho people wondered 1
and pondered. When tho Convention
met, tho leaders of tho Conspiracy pro
ceeded a step fiirtherlnthelrplot. They
had tho following resolution passed, to
wit :
Jtcmtirdf That John Snyder nud
Robert C. Emit bo tho Representative
Conferees to support the choice of Mon
tour County, provided they support tho
candidate of this county for .Statu Sena
tor. The object, of course, was to force on
tho district the nomination of Tate, as
had been previously arranged between
the high contracting parties. The
scheme failed, because Judge Oaks, who
knew Tate well, could not bo induced
to support him.
They became desperate In their des
pair. Tato and Ikeler, after long i (in
ferences with the Republican leaders,
obtained the engagement of Doctor
John,C. 1 Knapp, and tiie Rev. Row
dy Hockley, that no ltadical candidate
should be nominated, and that they
would support Tate. The chairman of
the Standing Committee was operated
upon, the Rerwlck paper was secured,
and tho party bound hand and foot and
handed over to Doctor John.
Thus Tate having failed in his Sena
torial aspirations, was, for a conldera
tlon, induced to bull the nomination,
and (upon tho assurance by John,
Knapp, and Reckloy, of Republican
support) voluntnrjor AstcrnM;.
Now, why does. Tato so perslsfentlv
seek to secure a seat in some branch of
the Legislature, and why do the Repub
licans enter Into a bargain with him to
give him their vote'.' Of cour.-e it Is
not for the mere honor of a seat there
that Tato persbts that, by the favor of
tho parly ho seoks to destroy, ho has
once enjoyed. Nor do tho Republicans
vote for him out of love for the man,
however much they may love the trea
son of which ho is to bo the chief in
strument.
Wounded Birds Pluttor.
"Just look at tho insolence of tills
man Lrrn.i:. He calls the whole Dem
ocratic Standing Committee of Colum
bia Countv, the i'.epre-entalive Confer
ees, and those per-nns who signed a let
ter to the Committee, asking the nomi
nation of Colonel Tate for Repiesenta
tive, THE WHISKEY iiltlGADE!''
Ddmocuat axd Staii.
This is the secret, and' accounts for
the great industry of the Ikiltersin beg
ging names to the Tate bolt-papers; in
hopes thereby to divide tho responsibil
ity among so many, as to save their
own necks. "When wo christened them
as tho "Whiskey Rrigade," they knew
perfectly well that wo referred to the
Iiolrnns; and in tho same paper we
explained as follows : " Under this des
ignation (Rollers,) we do not intend to
Include tho great majority of the short
list of names appended to tho state
ment published, but only the leaders,
by whoso iullucnco all the others were
obtained, and whoso determination to
rule or ruin the party is now mani
fest to the meanest capacity."
It has turned out ju-t as we expected,
that tho Whiskey Rrigade, would lake
refuge under the cover of the names
of respectable) persons they had extorted
by begging and deception ; notwith
standing it is well known that a large
portion of tills small number are doing
all they can for Captain Chalfant and
the whole Democratic ticket.
LiT'ri-i:, in bis
Cami'.wox, says
to print Colonel
that Doctor John is
Tate's name along with tho Republican
ticket for circulation. TliU is not the
lid. Doctor John lias nothing to do
witn Tates ticket." Di:.mol'1iat axd
Sl'Alt.
No, of courso not. After tho Cam
paign issued, Tate, Jacoby, and Doctor
John made ditfereut arrangements. Ja
coby printed regular Radical Republi
can tickets, with Tate's name added,
and delivered them to Doctor John or
Samuel Knorr, who sent them out along
with tho tickets Doctor John printed
himself and tho circular of Samuel
Knorr contained in another column.
Doctor John did also print falsely, a
bogus Democratic ticket, with Mercur's
and Tate's names substituted for tho
names of Judge Elwell and Captain
Chalfant; as seen in another column.
The ticket and circular referred to can
be .-een at the olllco of tho editor of this
paper. So friend Jacoby, don't keep
your paper back from your town sub
scribers any longer on ouu account.
Your paper circulated in Catawisia yes
terday, and you see we lan-o got a copy
somehow. We go to pre-s now, so send
on your paper.
Wi: allow thonbiiseand slander of indi
viduals In tho Democrat and Star to go
unnoticed for tho ire-eut. Wo aro too
bu-y with tho election to spend time In
refuting tho falsehoods and slang of that
siieet, which has grown desperate and
reckless under the general condemna
tion of the Democracy. Rut wo shall
hereafter vlndicato tho truo men of our
party who have been asailed by It.
That concern is giving its last desper
ate kicks, premonitory of death, ag.ilu-t
the party which has given It generous
support and conlideiico.
Orr Eriday evening the Democracy of
Millliirrowiishlp assembled at tho acad
emy in Mllllin vllle. John Michael was
chosen President. Tho meeting wasnd
dressed by Colonel J. G. Kreee. The
Democrats or old Mllllin will be out In
their strength and will support " the
ticket, tho whole ticket, and nothing
but tho ticket." Look out for thunder.
What will Itcoit old Simon Camero't

States Senate? I lo tried bis hand when

Tho Mavkot Stroot Colonel.
In the last Danomtl and AVnr, Colonel
Tate says! "that letters Were signed
by myself, John G. Frew, and others,
years aim, to Oaks and .lncksmi, but
never was It then thought or supposed
by either of in, or even Members them
selves, until the bill had pnwd tho
1 louse of Representative, that it was
lo beat tho evpense of tho lax-payers
of Columbia County." Now II will be
seen bv Colonel Tate's lctiors to Jack
son, In another column, that like his
letter to Oaks, they were signed by no
person but himself. And we would in
quiro how the bill for opening and
widening of Market Street at the ex
pense of the County could have passed
tho House of Representatives: without
tho knowledge of Colonel Tate, or even
tho Members themselves'.' Certainly
the Members who passed the bill know
what It was. Again, where did Colonel
Tato suppose the money was to come
from to widen Market Street and pay
for six or seven dwelling-houses and
land, to nt least the amount of ten or
twelve, and perhaps llfteen thou-aml
dollars'.' If the people of I!iooiiihurg
were to have paid for It, they certainly
had no occasion to apply to the Legisla
ture. Colonel Tate ami every body else
in Rloom-biirg knew perfectly well
that the whole object of the bill was, to
get Rloonisburg Improved at the ex
pense of the County. That was the
plan long before Colonel Tate's pet bill
was sent to Harrlsburg, and the Editor
of the Culttm'ii't Demnrntt was expected
to have sulllcient inlluence with our
Ropro--entnlivos to hurry the bantling
through before tho people In the county
could hear of it. Hence he wrote to
Jackson to " ivke hold of it as soon as it
comes from the Senate. It must booVr."
Certainly, our neighbor did not expect
the people of Rloonisburg lo pay for it.
The people will believe about as much
of his explanation as they do of his de
nial contained in the Ihmwitt imt
.Slur of the twenty-second of August,
IMifi. Writing over his own signature,
and referring to the charge Miat he had
been in favor of opening Market Street,
he said :
" I had fondly hoped thai this ancient
nii'fnii; of over ten yearsstauiliug, TO
WHICH I HAVE EVER REEX OP
POSED, had riuiirwl and gone to tho
' Tomb, of Capnlets.' "
Witnx Colonel Tato was up Eishing
Croc, k, procuring nanios (0 his bolt-paper,
they rofii-od to sign on the ground that
it would split tho party and give the
Radicals a chance. Thereupon tho Col
onel pledged himself that if the Radi
cals should nominate a candidate he
would Immediately withdraw, and
throw hii inlluence in favor of Cap
tain Chalfant. HeaNo told them that
"tho understanding was that the Re
publicans should not nominate a can
didate for Representative." This he
mail in the nvunuv of ('ril.i Uo'i'innitml
nercral others. Now the Colonel claims
that lie is the regular nominee of the
Democracy, and says in his ad. Ires-, con
tained in the Dfinricrat am Star of last
week as follows: " In a word, Iain
tho only regular nominee of the De
mocracy of Columbia County for Rep
resentative to the Legislature in the
district compo-e.l of tho Counties of
Columbia and Montour." What, the
regular nominee of tiie unterrilied De
mocracy withdraw in the event of the
oppodte party having a candidate ! As
it is denied by everybody except Roll
ers them-elves that Colonel Tate is the
regular nominee of the Democracy, we
naturally looked for some proof of such
a bold assertion, but in vain. In all
his lengthy address he does not atte.npt
to show when and how such nomina
tions flr.at became retiitar, nor give a
single instance when the Democracy of
Columbia made nominations in the
manner he claims to have been nomi
nated. On the contrary, tho uniform
practice has always been in conformity
to the following rule of the Democratic
party, regularly adopted and in force,
vi: "All nominations of candidate.-
shall bo in County Convention." Un
foreseen contingencies might happen
when it would be proper for the Stand
ing Committee to call the Democratic
County Convention together; but if
such event had happened, there would
have hcAMi other candidatos.aud the Con
vention would have appointed Confer
ees in favor of some man other than
"tho Market Street Colonel."

ItAMTOUIl, OotdllPl' 2.
We have returns from one third of the
town ejections of yesterday. The Dem
ocrats and Conservatives have decided
gains over the Republican In Glaston
burg, Sunbury, Mlddleton, Canton,
Granby, etc., where strict political tests
were made.
The Republicans were defeated, and
every one of the-e towns was gained to
the Democrats and Conservatives.
Colon ki. Tati: said to Shei ill' Samu
el Snyder and others as follows, viz:
" 1 have assurance that If I am a can
didate for Assembly, the Republicans
will not have a candidate." hen an
other man told tho Colonel that he
would get nothing but Republican votes,
Colonel Tate replied: "I do not care
what votes 1 get, only so I get enough
to elect me." SoColonelTatolsdonetell
lug the store about "once when ho was
the IKmnrrutie candidate for Assembly
he took Andrew ('reveling Into his
buggy to ride with him, when Mr,
('reveling told the Colonel that ho be
Moved he would vole for him, Colonel
Tate replied that he did not want him
to vote for him, nor any other Rcpubll
can. All that he wanted of him, and
all tho like of him, was just to vote
against him and talk against him, and
then he would do him (the Colonel) a
favor." Oh, Levi Lucifer I Tho man

Piuoit to the election last Fall the
editor of the Columbia dainty llepuhU-
van Instructed tho election ofllcers to
reject the votes of certain persons do
nominated deserters. Ry acting on tld;
advice some ono or more of this editors
friends wits subjected to the costs and
expenses of a pro-eciilion resulting In
their conviction. Most men would
have been satisfied with one effort to
get their friends into trouble, especially
if they had been as successful In so dolli;
as was this editor. Rut we are sorry to
see this is not tiie case with Doctor
John. He repeats his advice to the
election ofllccrcnud begs them toohoy a
law which even his uliable lawyers will
tell him, if they know anything,
clearly unconstitutional.. We advise
our Republican boardsof election before
acting on the Doctors advice to consult
Mr. Kek, of Roaringcreck. He can tell
just bow much it costs an election ofll-
cer lo follow this advice.
Who are the Rolters? In looking
over the list of names we find some
irho (ml: mviey from S'ran'on and
electioneered with if against Hon. John
M'Reynolds when be was a candidate

coby is to print tiie regular Republican
ticket with Tato's name added, and the
Doctor is to send them out along with
the regular Republican ticket, which
ho prints himself.
It Is now certain that Mercur lost at
least twenty or thirty votes by speaking
hU itii "e in tho Court Mouse. It was
prepared for Rradford County; and had
he kept it there, many of those who
were his friends could not have been
made lo believe that ho was in favor of
negro sutrrage. Mercur is evidently (It
for nothing moro than a county politi
cian. Mil. Di:an wa-t originally talked of as
a Candidate for As-embiy, but finding
that Captain Chalfant would beat him In
Montour, he concluded, against the

last week that " we care little how niiiny

make the best of it." What else could
beexpected when the Democratic organ

Let him learn to never again betray lih

hasten and desert the sinking ship.

they tire the people! Did auy-boily evor

On Wednesday afternoon of last week,
a Democratic meeting was held nt
.Slab town. We did not learn thenamu
of the olllcer.s. The meeting wn-s ad
dressed by Colonel Freeze, E. R. Ikoler,
Jo-eph Campbell, and by Captain
Thomas Chalfant, tho Democratic can
didate for Legislature. The ball is roll
ing on. Thero will be a glorious victory
for " the whole ticket."
Wi: adviso our political friendn
throughout tho county to keep up u
keen look-out for bogus tickets on elec
tion day. There aro desperate men
about who will bear watching. Let all
cheating and trading of votes be pro
vented by vigilance and a stern deter
mination among Democrats that thcra
shall be an honest election.

Go to tho polls eaily on Tuesday next,
and remain active and vigilant during
the day. Look out for bogus tickets ;
send for voter- who are not early in at
