OBSERVER FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
lllily Eby casts tor tine Mosaic
The Ossinvsa will be furnished to sub
Bribers desiring to receive it during the
campaign at the low rate of Fifty Cents for
three months. These terms are considerably
lower than onr usual, rates, and can barely
be afforded by us, but we are induced to offer
them,. in the hops of promoting the cause
which all Democrats believe so earnestly to
be that of their country and truth. Campaign
subscribers can commence at any date they
set proper (the earlier the better) and will
receive Thirteen i;sues of the paper.
• We want, if possiblii, to obtain five hundred
campaign subscribers. , It depends on our
reloads whether we shall succeed. Let each
of our present patrons procure a copy to be
sent three months to some aeighbor or friend,
and much good may follow. Who will be first
to send us a club' au3•tf
IN view of the short time for prepare
ton and work allowed between the meet
ing of the State Nominating Convention
and , the election, the Philadelphia Age
recommends that hereafter the duties of
the Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee shall commence on
the lst of January of each year. The idea
is a good one, and should *be adopted. A
more thorough organization of the party,
and consequently more effectiveness would
be the result.
The Abolition managers of Franklin-
Marshall College, at Lancaster, have in
flicted upon ex• President Buchanan the
most ungraceful indignity to which he hug
yet been subjected, accustomed as he has
been of late to such things. They have
removed him from the Presidency of the
College, and selected John Cessna, the
little, squeaking, insignificant and con
ceited renegade of Bedford county, for
the place. The mere removal from office,
we presume, will not be regarded by Mr.
Buchanan with much regret, but to be
succeeded by. Cessna is a humiliation bard
to be borne.

The New York Tribune, which among
all the Abolition journals is the one that
exhibits the most frequent gler.rat of
practical good sense -and statesmanship
continues its war against the system of
trials by military courts of persons not in
the army or navy service, with unrelent
ing earnestness and refreshing honesty
It points out their illegality and impro
priety, proves that their costliness is many
times more than that of ordinary courts,'
and rrotests against their continuance. In
its issue of Saturday last, referring to the
Doubleday Commission, which is now, and
has been for many Ermaths, sitting, in
Philadelphia, it used the following strik
ing language, which we respectfully- com
mend to the attention of those persons in
this part of the country who stand ready
to endorse every arbitrary measure of the
men in power :
We object to the system that tampers
?lib justice, does violence to the rights of
the people, creates scandal among the
nations, and places in the bands of any
person who may be War Minister as much
power over life and person as is held by
the Czar of Russia. We denounce it on
every ground ; but in this case we con
fine our argument to its econoiny. Penn
sylvania has courts and officers of, law
Whose duty it is to decide these questions
"Officers of the army," our correspond
ent coolly remarks, are also receiving
pay, and may as well attend to this as to
any other duty." We have always been
under the impression that officers of the
army were commissioeed to fight, and
that it did not require men with swords
on their persons th sit and hear lawyers
squabble for 190 days about the shrinking
qualities of duck canvass.
,If these men
tome served their time, let them go home.
If there are military duties for them to
perform let them be assigned to them. It
they have been wounded, let them be
pensioned, or assigned to some civil em
ployment if places can be found ; but do
not keep them administering justice at a
cost of nearly $l5O per day when there
are courts competent to do the work and
receiving pay.
PLIINBYLITAYIA A nesn.—The recent
meeting of the Adjutant Generals of the
loyal States has elici the whole num
ber of troops put into the service by the
respective States during the war. Penn
sylvania footii up the handsome figures of
360.000 men, exclusive of the colored
troops raised for the United States and
the - number of volunteers enlisted and
placed to the credit of other States. The
whole number of troops raised in the
brawling New England States only ex
ceeded that of our own noble Common.
wealth by 6 945. With the exception
of one, we have contributed in a larger
ratio than any other Eastern State. Kansas
furnishes a larger proportion of men than
any other State in the Union. By taking
all the figures, we think they may chal
lenge the attention of all, as mowing the
immense strength and resources of this
noble Commonwealth. We know of no
European kingdom, of the same popula
tion as Pennsylvania, which can exhibit
such a military record as this. In former
times churlish remarks were apt to be
made by writers in other States of the
Union repecting the demands of Peast;
Sylvania; but these statistics may serve
to illustrate the fact that we can respond
to the demands of the Republic in much
the same ratio that she has been generous
to us.

About to enter, fellow.citiseUe, on the
e xercise of duties which comprehend
everything dear and valuable to you, it is
proper that you should understand what
I deem the essential priacip 'es of our gov
ernment, and consequently those which
ought to shape its administration. I will
compress them within the narrowest com
pass they will bear, stating the general
principle, but not all its limitations.
Equal and exact justice to all men, of
whatever state or persuasion, religious or
political; peace,• commerce, and honest
friendship with all nations, entangling
alliances with none; the support of the
State governments in all their rights, as
the most competent administration for
our domestic concerns, and the surest
bulwarks against anti-republican tenden
cies; the preservation of the general gov
ernment in its whole constitutional vigor,
as the sheet anchor of our peace at home
and safety abroad ; a jealous care of the
right of election , by the people—a mild
and safe corrective of abuses which are
lopped by the sword of revolution where
peaceable remedial are unprovided ; abso
lute acquiescence in the decision of the
majority—the vital principle of republics
—from which there is no appeal but to
force, the vital principle• and immediate
parent of despotism ; a well-disciplined
militia—our best reliance in peace, and
for the first moments of war, till regulars
may relieve them; the supremacy of the
civil over the military authority; economy
in the public expense, that labor may be
lightly burdened ; the honest payment of
our debts, and sacred preservation of the
public faith ; encouragement of agricul
ture, and of commerce as its handmaid ;
the diffusion of information and the ar
raignment of all abuses at the bar of pub
lic reason ; freedom of religion ; freedom
of the press; freedom of person under the
protection of the Wear corpus ; and trial
by juries impartially selected—these prin •
ciples form the bright constellation which
has gone before us, and guided our steps
through in age of revolution and reform
ation. The wisdom of our sages and the
blood of eta heroes have been devoted to
their attainment.. They should be the
creed:of our political faith—the text of
civil instruction—the touchstone by which
to try the services of those we trust ; and
should we wander from them in moments
of terror or alarm, let us hasten to retrace
our steps and to regain the • road which
alone leads to peace: liberty, and safety.
GREAT RZDUCTION OP THE Aaxy.—lt has

The funds sufficient to meet this demand
are in the hands of the paymasters. The
others who have been discharged, or °vet
four hundred thousand, have been fully
paid off and mustered out. The rapidity
with which this part of the work is per
formed may be inferred from the fact that
the official figures in the departments at
Washington show that there have been
paid off and mustered out in the last
thirty days over two hundred and sixty
thousand men.

NEGRO CRIMES IN LOUISVILLE
Fora long time there has been situated
on Preston street, Louisville a negro eat

gating and nicking a great noise, to the.
annoyance of the neighborhood for sever
al squares around, and so boisterous has
their conduct been of late, that the place ;
has become an intolerable rruistince. On
Friday they became more bold in their
operations, and numbers of them were
seen running through the streets With
drawn pistols, threatening.to kill the first
white person : they should meet, and defy
ing the officers to interfere with them.
They took entire possession of the east
aide of the street. and..form time, no one
was safe in passing on that aide.
In the afternoon a difficulty occurred
between a white man and two negro men.

two shots at the for Mer, who drew his
knife and stabbed one of the negro men,
who is now - in the hospital. The other
negro was arrested and placed in jail

done to put a stop to the recurrence of
these outrages, we may he called upon to

POLITtCAL QtARSIEL-M.ili KILLED.
The Redford Gazeue give the following
version of an affair which the telegraph
men bays undertaken to distort for politi
cal purposes:
On Tuesday morning last, our usually
quiet town was thrown into , a state of in•
tense excitement, by the shooting of
Jacob Crouse by J. P. Reed, Jr., both of
the place. We wilt try to narrate the cir
cumstances under which this unrortunate
affray took place. as accurately as we can
gather them from those who were wit
nesses of the occurrence. Mcneel Reed,
a student of medicine in Philadelphia.
and a brother of J P. Reed. Jr., has been
vi: c.at 1.1: f-thor's tru:'e fra•
on a visit. Whilst Mengel was gifting' in
front of his father's house. and frequently
when walking with ladies on the street,
Crewe would call bim "rebel," "traitor."
and accost 'him in this .wise. "How ere
you. 'Johnny?" "How are you, Reb?"
This was borne silently by Mengel until
lost Saturday. when sitting in front of his'
father's office, Crouse, passing bim, said
" Row are you. Johnny?" Mengel replied
that he would cane him. if he would con
tinue to insult him. J. P. Reed, Jr..
hearing the altercation between his bro.
ther and Crouse. stepped between them
and asked what was the matter. • Mengel
replied.," This creature has 111%11h/t me
strain " J. P. asked_groitp,, " Did you ?"
The latter replied. "Yea,rdid!" and came
menacingly toward J P., who struck him
and knocked him down. Crouse, being a
powerful man, rallied, when he was again
knocked down by Reed. At this junc
ture, the peace officers interfered and the
parties were teparatecl. On • Saturday
night. as Schell W. Reed, a brother of
Mengel and J. P. Reed. Jr., was going
from his' uncle Jacob Reed's house to
wards his father's, Crouie leaped upon
him. struck him to the ground and was
beating him terribly, when J. P. Reed
Jr., came to the rescue and knocked
Crouse down several times. At this crisis
a levee crowd had gathered in the street.
and for a few minutes there seemed to be
imminent danger of a riot. Through the
exertions, however, of the constables and
Captain Adams. of the 187th, order was
restored. Thus matters stood until Tues
day morning, when J. P. Reed, Jr , and
Jacob Crowe met on the street. Crouse
said something to Reed. and the latter
told him he wanted to have nothing more
to do with him, at the same time turning
to walk away. As Reed turned, Crouse
struck him with a stone, nearly felling
him, and was in the act of striking him
with another stone, when Reed fired upon
him, killing him almost instantly. Mr.
Reed gave himself up to the authorities
and was placed in the county prison.
A CRAZY MAN BETOOTS TWO PAgBINGERS ON A
xtserestret tyreaunt.
A Minnesota correspondent of the Chi
cago Trilune gives the following narticu•
Inn; : Ye:terday afternoon (July 27) about
4 o'clock, seated, in company with a boat
of other psweengers, on the larboard side
of the steamer Annie Johnston, watching
a crane that was standing in shallow
water near the Shore to which we were at
that time running in close proximity, we
were suddenly startled by the reports of a
pistol on the same aide of the boat. in the
forward part, fired four times successively,
which effected a complete consternation
among all bands, and caused an excited
and hasty retreat to the cabin. Further
developments proved, howo.er, that the
firing was done by a maniac named George
C Stocking, of Hutainson. Minn.. with
nut the least provocation, and resulted in
the depth of Nathan S Roberts. of Canes
tots, N. Y.. and the wounding of a re
turned soldier in the right arm, near the
shoulderl-named Hower. of Minneapolis,
Minn. The maniac had previously exhib
ited conclusive signs of insanity, and. a
few minutes before, was seen looking
wildly through a window on the crowd
upon which he soon after fired. The shot
which proved so fatal entered the cerebel.
lum near its base, and came out under
the chin.' The victim lingered in uncoil
acioneness nearly fifteen minutes. and
died without having uttered a syllable.
On Thoraday of last week, Ned Brott.
a your g loafer of this village. was arrested
on a charge of attempting to violate the
person of a girl abodt twelve years of age
who lives in Troy. The girl'r father is a
dealer in medicines, and had left ,his
wagon in the shed at the City Hotel. kept
by young Brott's father, while his &doh
ter who accompanied him was permitted
to pay a short visit to a friend in the vil
lage. After: being absent from the wagon
about an hour, she returned in company
with another girl about her own see. and
enquired of young Brott if her father had
come back. fie told her that he had, and
was in the barn after hay, whither she
started to find him, but as soon as she en
tered the barn young Brott seized her,hy
the throat to prevent an out cry and then
used every effort to accomplish kin object,
hut failed through the girl's desperate
struggles to resist him. The young villain

Mr. Laird is so vary popular in his own
county and district, that, if nominated. - he
would not only largely reduce the Repuhlican
vote, but in all probability would overcome
their usual Majority, end, in fact. carry the
county by a small Democratic mrjoritv. re
ducing thereby the Repuhlioyn majority,
heretofore between three and roar thousand;
en item of very considerable importance in
the popular votes of the State
Mr Laird has been elected Mayor of the
city of Erie for several terms by large ray
jorities, varying from 300 to 700 votes; at
!hi , same time the opposition to Democroct- in
the city being largely in the majority. lie has
also been elected a member of the State Leg
islature from Erie conntv, which always has
given a Republican majority of between three
and four thousand:
From these focts it will cosily be seen that
If neminaicd. he will largely reduce the Re

The Cepperheeds claim that the blacks nre
ignorant and deernded, and not fit to exercise
the right of suffrage. Their reasoning is rot
without force, hut it is equally applicable to
most of the deluded men who coracles° the
Copperhead party.--fileadoille Republican.
The poor •• ignorant. " and "'deluded " fel
lows who "compose the Copperhead party"
are deserving of commiseration. What a pity
that tiLey cou'd nat have some shining light of
intelligence, like the editor of the Republican.
to east his effulgent rays upon their benighted
minds, and lead them into a paradise of en
lightenmentrand patriotism ! As it is, we fear
many of them will go down to their
.graves
under the continued delnsion that the United
States is a Republican form of governmebt,
with a written constitution, which is the stae
preme taw of the land, and in tetaljg,uorance
of the new-born truths that " military neces•
city" is higher than all laws and constitu
tions, freedom a synonym for arrests without
warrants anti punishments without. trial,
"loyalty" a new name for rascality, "equal.
ity to all" the right of a minority having the
reins o power in their hands to basely tram.
ple under foot the 'rights of a defenceless
majority, and self-government the privilege
of having a half dozen- States &elate to the
others what domestic regulations they shall

people should exist in this enlightened ages()
"ignorant " and "deluded ;" but " pity tie,

A. & G. Vi. RAILWM-By the report of
the Atlantic & Great Western Railway Com
pany, jast published, it appears that the net - ,
gregate earnings for 1864 were $3 335,491 67;
working expenses, $2 025,201 79, learieg •
balance of $1,210,28.1 PS to be applied to
construction, right•ef way; rents, dividend , 4,
&c. The. total number of barres of petrole•:m
carried over the road was 675,028. The nun•
ber of passengers carried over the road from
Meadville was 52,048. These tignres are for
1501.
The Press is the name of a new Democratic
paper just established at Mercer, in place of
the Register, deceased. It is edited and .uh
fished by C. W. Whistler, Esq. The Pre , :
presents 4 neat and healthy appearance, is
vigorously conducted, and deserves to be
prosperous. The Democracy of lit,;rovr Should
give it a liberal support—not a half way, lan
guishing one, lint such as will rnable its cdi•
tor not only to make a living, but lay a for
dollars aside each year, boaides.
Wo call the attention of our readers to the
advertisement of a Concert to be given on
Tuesday evening, by the Brass band of East—
man Business College. The band have been
performing in New York and other largo
cities, and are now on their way to Chicago,
where they design giving a series of extensive
concerts. The Press in every place theysvisit
are eloquent in their praise, and we anticipate
a musical treat of mere titan ordinary interest.
