The question above all other questions that used to agitate the public mind was, "Have we a Rourbon amoDgu3?" Latterly, this has given vsay to another inquiry, of like magnitude and importance "Have we a Dampliool among us?" The "us" in the latter instance of course has especial ref erence to Ebensburg and the people there unto appertaining. "We think we have a Damphool among i2&; and, not to be tedious about it, we of fer as the grounds whereon we base this belief a "squib" which appeared in last week's issue of the Dem. & Sent. As follows : 'Thk BB.scn Railhoad. This Branch Road comes into town on seme Saturday evenings, and then leaves us and we don't hear of it3 arrival again for some time. " 27iC Rranch Rond" means the Ebcns burg & Cresscn D ranch Railroad ; and when this Road "comes into toven" it monies into Ebensburg. The members of the E. &. C. RR. Company will be glad to hear that their Road is possessed of the power of picking itself up and transport ing itself, at will, into and out of a town. Tor, should it ever become a non-paying institution, which the Fates forbid ! .it will be gratifying to know that, through the exercise of this power, the Road, in -and of itself, will ultimately be ab!o to , vialce loth end meet. ' "It was kept open these other winters past without much diiiiculty, More snow has fallen the present win ter, accompanied by severer etcrm3 of wind-, than during the eutiro period cf existence of the Road : "and was getting along very well, hut like every other small iustitution iu our midst, it Lai to be made a political machine of. Like tho Couuty Superintendence, tor instance, and the Stewardship of the Poor House : '-Had tho Republican pnrty lit the Road alone, and went iu for the benefit of the com munity and themselves, we would have the Road in full operation tLia winter as well as heretofore. This is a bold charge, to the effect that the Clerk of the Weather is a Republican, and has blocked up the Road at the insti gation of his "purty." Or does it mean that he is a Democrat, and ha3 visited this afliction upon us as a rebuke for misman asremeut with regard to the Road? 4No Democrat interfered with the ruuning cf the Road, Ah ! Then this settles it: the Weather Clerk is a Republican. As accredited mouth-piece of the Republican party, we hereby repudiate that personage. We -disown him: Yc take him by the nape cf the neck and the straps of his boots, and unceremoniously kick him out into i the cold. The Republican party cannot at this late day afford to falsify its record, and become identified with au attempt to place an embargo upoa any industrial in terest : "by trumping up charges ngainst employees on the Road, and having them dismissed be cause they did not come up to their political etandard. The key to this is that an employee of the Road, doubtless for good and sufficient reasons, was lately relieved freni duty, and another, of the same political Zclirf, placed in his stead. ''Now, when the Road is stopped for the time being, we trust the Republican party of this town are gratified." VcTy much gratified, wo assure you ! If the Road had not been "stopped," it is possible the question whether we have a Damphool amongus mightnever have been fully determined. Now it is settled we know we have a Damphool among us, and we further know he is at present editing the Dem. & Sent. Very much gratified, indeed I Cambrl County and the Draft. We published last week the quotas of the several sulnlistricts of Cambria county nnder tho draft, but lest some of our readers may not have noticed them, we herewith reproduce the figures : Allegheny! .... 15 Loretto.... 4 Carroll.... 17 Carrolltown 5 Susquehanna 14 Chest..., 1 Clearfield , 20 Chest Springs '. 7 White 7 Washington.- ; 7 Muuster .". 4 Croyle C SumruerhilL. . 9 Wilmore 3 Richland.... 29 Taylor 22 Coneuiaugh tp.... 15 Yoder .. 14 Johnstown r 103 Cambria bor 10 Conemaugh bor 13 Jlillvilfc 18 Cambria, tp 18 Blacklick 2 Jackson 14 Ebensburg 16 Gallitzin '. '. G Total number to be drafted ...405 With regard to Ebensburg, wc believe the quota to be excessive. Under the call of last July, for 500,000 men, our quota was set down at 22. These men were put into the service ; after which it was discovered our quota ought to have been only 10. A credit was thus allowed us of 6 men on future calls. Our real quota on the 500,000 call was therefore 1G. Now, for only 300,000 men, our quota, after deducting the fore going credit, is given as 16. We may add that our enrollment list is now tveenty- five per cent, less than it was last July. How it is possible for our quota to be heavier under a call for 300,000 men than it was under a call for 500,000 men, we cannot see. Provost Marshal General Fry sees it, however. He is ingenious in fig ures a psrfect mathematical magician. He is probably equal to the task of proving that two and two make Jive. The late call was xaade to fill deficiencies under the call of last July. Ebensburg had no def.cit.ncy under that call, and therefore ought not now to be drafted. Discharged from Arrest. The fin ding of the court-martial in the case of Capt. D. Wr. Fox, Co. A, 55th Pa. Vols., charged with defrauding his men out of large sums of bounty money, has been made public. ' He is honorably discharged from arrest, and returned to his command. Capt. F. is a Cambria county man, and his friends will be glad to hear that his skirts are thus cleared of the charges pre ferred against him. See advertisement of Company" elsewhere.

A meeting of the publishers of newspapers in this State was held at Harrisburg, on Jast1 Thursday. Col. W. YYT. II. Davis, of the Doylestown Democrat, was called to the chair, and B. Y. Ilam&her, of the Cambersburg Valley Spirit, was appointed Secretary.. There was a good representation present. , After a call of the representatives pres ent, on motion, a committee of seven was appointed to draft a series of resolutions expressive of the sense of the convention upon the repeal of the duty upon printing paper. ''The committee submitted the following, which were unanimously adopted : Whereas, At the commencement of the war the price of printing paper was front . 7 to 9 cent3 per pound: And whereas, The same" quality of paper cannot now be purchased for les3 than 27 cents per pound,' being an in crease of 300 per cent., notwithstanding the price of the raw material used in the manu facture of paper has not increased more than 50 per cent. : And whereas, The high price of printing paper, and the enhanced value of everything consumed by printers, have oper ated to raise the price of books and newspa papers in such a degree that a large portion of the reading community can no longer allbrd to4 buy the former or subscribe for the latter, and have in many cases caused the suspension of the publicatipn of newspapers, thus niacin"' a serious obstacle in the way of the dissemi nation of wholesome reading and striking at the very foundation of our republican system, the intelligence cf the masses ; therefore, Resolvtd, That we earnestly recommend to our Senators and Representatives in Congress, the repeal of the duty on printing paper. Resolved, That we condemn the conduct of such book and newspaper publishers as are engaged in the manufacture of paper and are now endeavoring" to prevent the repeal of the duty on paper, in order to hinder competion with their own circulation. " Resolved, That we hereby pledge ourselves to oppose the re-election of every Senator and Representative in Congress who unite3 with the monopoly of the paper manufacturers, in preventing the passage of the bill for the re peal of the duty on printing paper. Rtsolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Senators and Represen tatives in Congress from this State. On motion, tho' convention then ad-jtftrrncd. TnE Snow Blockade. As we went to press last week, we mentioned that the snow here was three feet deep ou the lev el. This quantity has since beeu aug mented, till it ii now fully four feet deep. All last week, the winds remained out on a holiday, and innumerable monuments in the shape of monstrous Enow-drifts attest the fact that they improved to the extent of their abilities the time allotted them. All the roads in this bailiwick, excepting the "pike', to Cresson, were hermetically sealed for days. No Northern mail went out nor came in for a period of over one week. The Eb. & Cresson Branch con tinues shut up. A gang of workmen are now engaged shoveling it out, however, and speedy resumption of communication "by rail" may be confidently looked for. Till then, passengers and the maila will go to Cresson and return on runners. This is decidedly the deepest snow and the severest winter wo have had since '55-0. When old Hyems comes to abdi cate bis scepter in the Spring in favor cf the Goddess of Flowers, there will be the rushing of many waters from tho moun tains. Itf other words, when tb$ snow goes off, there will be a "flood.'" The people of Johnstown and tho valleys thro' which the torrent must pass should be warned in time, and look up their life preservers. 6W fJlCK SALES, QUICK SALES, QUICK SALES, AND AND SMALL PROFITS 1 SMALL PROFITS !
