j ru:edlately preceding erery election cf
I jsportance, party epirit unallj runs high,
f od it is rsre indeed that a bad stale of
? rt'ins, personally zls well as politically,
) t not engendered between tie members
i f the antagonistic political organizations,
i rti3 is owing primarily to the influence
I the public press. It seems to be the
rye to nd all the acrimony and vindic
! rjeness of a very end centered in the
yson cf the editor cf a country "organ"
the exception to find him generous and
forbearing toward his political opponents,
i Tics, so soon as a nominating conrention
has held its session and "selected itsstand-
jri-tearers, in nine cases out cf ten the
otT'Osinr editor mates it his pleasure to
cesicua'-e the candidates ns 'incompetent"
ssd "unworthy,1 if he do not go further
ces ounce them as imbecile," cor
rcpt," and 'knavish." To be sure, it" is
jV privilege cf every freeman, and a
rrrrUere we do not desire to trench upon,
c freely criticize and pass judgment up
ct the claims cf aspirants f or his suffrage,
huin so doing he has no right to cver
ft the bounds of truth and mo-deration ,
id become an unscrupulous vilifier, who
criticizes and passes judgment upon with
te I
Ferrer of a lip i
To the cool breath of reason." j
The tress, whatever be said to the con-
rrj. is tever without a certain degree cf
jifuciic.e. The talent employed upon it
ctcr be only one degree above mediocri-
Ij, and its readers a mere handful, yet
h?r2 it leads some will be sure to follow.
Ext essential then that it lead in the
rirti direction!. For if it go otherwise,
it the path bounced by raneor and spleen,
tsd personality and blactgnardism, those
aiCEStcmed to rely upon its judgment and
b rdiea by its example will tramp at its
tetlf to the acquiring, almost insensibly,
cf a similar reprehensible and really dis
psfrr style cf conducting political dls
csiens. Andthen their opponents, lay
er the unction to their souls that they
-diii't begin this here sort of war," in
Ts& the lex talionZs and return like for
Iit, Uiti! the very atmosphere becomes
crrrecnited with their angry dissensions,
y.7i 'Tll-darined-if-you-do and 111-b-is:ne3-if-yDu-don't,,
is the most per
lire argument made use ofj and the
principle is extensively patronized of "a
rzi and a blow the blow first I"
Where there is a liberal press, there is
liberal community. By the very nature
c'the thing, editors are representative
net. and tpe&k for and in stead of their
rsj-ective peoples. A newspaper firmly
j EsLlishei is confessedly the oracle of
I im neighborhood wherein it is published.
I tl-eraliiy and moderation be taught by
1 zzi him, the people will not be eIow in
ftruicg the lesson; if captiousness and
fc-la&agarg counseled, the advice will
3t fall unheeded to tbe ground.
Wg have had our ages of gold, cf bra?s,
c' iron, and our age also of billingsgate
fcd "muscle." The present is the Age
eiCad. The press's be the mission to
- ep it so by assiduously instructing up
1 the proper standard cf excellence the
t-bdg and manners cf its readers.
The present has been thus far de
tiedly the calmest and most fiirly con
tiered political campaign over occurring
our knowledge in Cambria county.
Tut custodians of the interests of the press
t&z evinced a most praiseworthy willing
to appeal in behalf of their respective
di dates to the lender stand injs of the
purple, instead of to their passions and
Radices. This is right The time is
anaoughttobeburiedbeyondthepow-
eof resurrection, when the recurrence of
c election coul 3 sufice to throw an entire
tuuity into a Btate of agitation equal
7 olIj by the introduction of a long pole
CJo a hornet's nest, and set neighbors and
-eads at loggerheads. And as it hath
lea -up to now, so let it be until the end.

thereunto appertaining :
All inquiries cn ordinary subjects con

counts of men furnished, should be ad
dressed to the Provost Marshal of the
proper District, who, if not able to answer
them himself, will seek information from
the Provost 3Iarshal General of the State.
Answers may thus be obtained mere
promptly than by addressing the Provost
Marshal General, where more important
business often prevents prompt answers

questions of miner importance.

Correspondence of The AHeghaniaa.
A railroad accident occurred at South
Fork, a few miles east of this place, one
day last week, resulting in the instant
death of a fireman named Colie, and the
destruction of at least one locomotive and
a large number of freight cars- It appears
that two freight trains were running in the
same direction, and in close proximity to
each other. The first of these was some
what behind time, and when slowly roun
ding the curve at South Fork, was run
into by the rear train, which was coming
at a high rate of speed. The engine cf
the second train and several cars were
thu3 thrown off the track and down an
embankment. The engineer jumped for
his life, and. escaped unhurt, but the fire
man remained at hi? post, and went down
with the engine. lie was inextricably
buried underneath the wreck, to which
fire was in afew moments communicated
from the locomotive. Horrible as the
tale msj read, the unfortunate man was
literally turned to a cinder reduced to
ashes with the debris of the luckless
train That portion of hi3 remains which
was recognizable was gathered up and ta
ken to Altoona. where his mother and a
couple of brothers reside, and interred.
There was quite a lively time here on
Saturday evening, growing out cf a "free
fight" between some of the veterans of the
5ith P. V. and a number of persons from
the rural districts. In the melee, several
cf the latter were badly used up. I did
net ascertain the cause cf the quarrel.
Subsequently, some cf the Eo'diers broke
in the door of 31 r. Luekkardrs store, but
befcre any other damage could be dene,
Col. Linton (cf the 54th) appeared upon
the scene and dispersed the rioters. A
general closing-np for the time being of
places cf business on Main street wns the
result of these oLstrepvercns demonstra
tions. A picnic gotten Up for the epeeia!
benef t of the returned soldiers cf the 54th
was held at 2inevah a few days since.
Everything is said to have passed ofi
greatly to the enjoyment of all concerned.
Four regiments cf 109-days men passed
west on Friday. Their destination is Chi
cago, Bock Island, and Indianapolis.
Three cf them were Pennsylvania regi
ments and one Massachusetts, and each
numbered about 1.200 men.
The feeder and canal at this point, bet
ter known in conjunction probably a? 'uLc
ditch," are now being filed up. One good
result cf this process will consist in the
fact that a straight Etreet will thereby be
established from near the corner cf Frank
lin and Canal streets eastward to the
bridre across the Conemauh.
KrsrrcTFn-LT Submitted. In the
absence of something mere important to
engross their attention, if such a thing
were possible, how would it look In our
County Commissioners to do what they
have frequently been strenuously urged
to do by their constituents, to wit, offer a
local bounty of say one hundred dollar
per man for volunteers to fill the quota of
Cambria county under the imp-ending
draft? TTe do not ic tend this U3 a sug
gestion, but put it merely in the light of
a ouestion. An answer from the Com
missioners is confidently not exp-eefced !
Ciiakget nis Base. C. T. Boberts,
the well known jeweler and dealer in
clocks, watches, etc., has removed his
place of business from the old stand, near
the "Diamond," Ebensburg, to his new
building, a square or so further up town.
If there be better artisans in his peculiar
line or more accommodating men then
C. T-, we are unaware of their existence ;
if anybody any place sells or can sell better
or cheaper articles than he, we would like
to know who and where ! Of course his
custom will follow him to Lis new location.
I mpoet A5T Statement. The report r.
to the effect that the Provost Marshal
headquarters for this district were about
being removed to this place, is totally un
founded in fact, They will remain at
Hollidaysburg as heretofore. It is true,
however, that J. M. Thompson has estab
lished another sort of headquarters at his
Etore, P. O. building, Ebensburg a head
quarters where bargains are dispensed with
lavish hand. Go and see 1
Too Srrr? st Half. The Pittsburg
Commercial, commenting on the. Congres
sional nomination for this district, says the
editor of The AUeglianian is "one of the
oldest men in the district." Our wife
would hardly concur in that declara
tion !
