The Republican press of Crawford county
charge that Major Rays, who has lately been

displacing a Radical, became a Johnson man

The Supreme Court has delivered a decision
regarding railroad accidents caused by cattle
upon the track, which possesses more than
ordinary interest to our farmer readers. It is
as follows:
Jet. An owner of cattle suffered to go at
large, and which are killed or injured en a
railway, has no recourse to the company or
its servants. On the contrary, be may be lia
ble for 0 e damages done by them to the com
pany or its pris•engers.
2d. A railray company is a yurch,ser in
consideration of public accommodation and
convenience, of the exclusive possession of
the ground paid foe to the proprietors of it,
and cf a license to vie the greatest attainable
rate of speed, with which neither the person
cr-the property of another may interfere. No
needless damage, however, must be done.
Cth. The question whether the owner of
the animal knew of its jeopardy, was not a
material inquiry .in the case. •

ability, in this county, each of whom 'should
be wilting to address from six to twelve meet

suggest that each of these furnish the Chairs

/ A case was terminated last court, which
possesses more than ordinary int&test. At
the spring eleotioc, this year, in Summit tp.,
• man presented himself as a voter who is
charged with having absented himself to
avoid the daft. His right to vote was dispn-
Ited by several parties, and the election offi
kers were called upon to refuselhe ballot
Ipi•esented. The latter, on referring to their
otith, discovered that they were sworn to.
obey the Constitution and laws of the Stater,
a d turning.to `the books furnished them by
the county authorities, they could discover no
clause disfranchising a voter for evading the
United States conscription. They, these ore,
accepted thediallot. Etonly after, the judge
and one inspector of election were indicted
for violation of the law of Congress disfran
chising persons who refused to respond
to the Provost Marshal's summons. The case
was put. down for trial before our court,
but postponed once or twice. At the cession
held week before last it was withdrawn en
tirely and the prosecutors paid the costs. The
info ence to be drawn isohat the parties who
brought the suit have come to' the conclusion
that they cauld make nothing out of the case.
The Sate Constitution expressly states who
shalt be 'voters, and to our mind ncthiog is
clearer than that the acts of Congrve and
the Legislature, contrary to the clauEe in
that instrument on the subject, are both null
and void." '
"Brother Mac," alias C. lfcSparron, Esq.,
writes a letter to the Di"patch of Tuesday, in
which he calls Linoo'n " the second Christ,"
and the peat Philadelphia assemblage, "'en

day when men of all races and colors will re
ceive the same. treatment at the hands of the
poop'o of Erie. We fear that " Brother
Mao" will not secure any thanks by - coupliug
the Fe:LA[4mnd Irish with what he stiles our
Aflican " brothers." We like " Brother
Mac" for his sociability, generosity and liber
al opinions, se that we cannot fiad it in our
heart to criticize the sentiments of his letter
as they deserve. It will be a good many
years, though, we suspect bell re he will be
able 'to convince the Intelligent portion of
the public that negroes occupy the same scale
of being as the white man, or that Lincoln
was . a " second Christ," or Jan Crown a
saint in men's garb, and a mighty homely
one at that.

The Gazette pronounces the stories in cir
culation that Msjor Swan, of Fairview, has
"attached himself to the Johnson party," "an
unmitigated faleactd.", We do not know
what • position the Major May occupy at pres
ent, but he has most certainly given a number
of hie • acquaintances, within the last few
months,to understand that he vies a supporter
of the administration policy. If be has de
termined to abandon the position he baa here
tofore maintained, it is probably due to the
fact . thet the Radicals have brought core
convincing arguments tot telr upon him than
those which previously influenced his con
duct.
- The Republicans aro to hold a mass meet
ing in this City, on the 10th . of September, at
which Gov. Curtin and Gen. Geary are to be
present. We are heartily Oil that the Gen
eral is to mike his appearance in Erie so soon
after Mr. Clymer's visit. It will give the
people a chance to contrast the two men, and
make up their minds which is best qualified
for Governor. We trust that the members of
each - rarty will turn out at both meetings,
and hear the two candidates , explain their
respective positions..
P. A. Finney, of Meadville, was, on Friday
last, nominated as the Republican candidate
for Congress,
, in the Crawford, Mercer,
Clarion and Venango . district. The conferees
had balloted over 9001.imes b'efore coming to
a choice. It would seem' &, if, after such hard
labor, they should have selected a popular
nominee, bat theMeadville lou•nat,the old and
influential organ of the Republicans of Craw
ford, refuses to support Finney, and intimates
that the Greenville Argus, another paper of
the same politics, will imitate its e mple.—

barn was torn down to prevent the 0---

uornood of $5OO, on which there was a smell
insurance. The unusual number of fires lately
leads many to think that they are not all ac
cidental.
The Girard Spectator does " not , know that
Mr. Walker would act in a biased manner rti
tho i bench," but. thinks "the fact that he does
not enjoy the confidence of his political op
ponents in this respect, and 'that a large por
tion of his own party denounce hiin as being
unfit in temper and disrosltion for the judicial
office, ought to be sufficient to exclude him
from that position." •
Mr. Samuel Woods, lately a workman in
the Presque Isle Iron Work!, has been given
a position on the editorial' department of the
Dispatch. The employees in the for.ner estab
lishment gave him a neat present on the 08-

will. The friends of Mr. Woods have every
reason a congratulate him upon his promo

The Warren Ledger, in speaking of Mr.

TEE SA i E9CILIt733I%—The great German fes
tival .whioh closed on Wednesday, was an oc
casion such ae has seldom been "seen in ogr
city, and which will long be remembered by
those who witnessed it. Our people had one
and all determined that Vhey should be
eclipsed by no other community in extending
a bountifuL hospitality to their musical
guests, and the result was a. display of taste
and liberality highly creditable to the city,
and which must have been gratifying to the
completest degree to those in whose honor it
was given; Preparations for adorning the
streets and buildings commences early on
Saturday,yind by that evening the city pre
sented a scene of beauty that defies deecrip.
Lion. Nearly every house on State and Peach
streets and the Parks, and many in other parts
of the city, was handsomely trimmed with
evergreen, while from dozens of buildings
floated the American and German flags. Not
satisfied with tho efforts on Saturday, the
3 ii
detwiations were continued on :tfronday, and
by n on of that day the sight was bewilder
ing' 'magnificent, and 011 e well worth coming
many miles to witness. Our readers abroad
may be able to form some conception of the
appearance of the city, when we tell them
that from Federal Hill to the Lake, a distance
of nearly twe miles, there was , one "Yost line
of evergreen, so closely arranged at place.s.is
to form - complete bowers Over the sidewalks,
while across the street the flags 'and wreaths
hung in such -profusion that eery frequently
they almost hid the rays of the s3n. The
occasion was a spontaneous and genuine trib
ute to the worth of our German citizens, and
they do not fail to appreciate it in the spirit
in Which it was rendered.
The different societies !rim abroad arrived
on Monday forenoon, and were welcomed in a
epech from Mayor Scott, nod by the firing of
artillery. 4 procession was formed, which,
after marching through the main streets, ter
minated at the Liedertafel Hall, where another
welcoming speech was !mstle by:E. E. Slurs
neckle, Esq., and an adjournment took place
for dinner. During the afternoon the streets
were' crowded with people to such an extent
as at times to render them- neatly impassak.le.
In the evening the grand concer6partictipated
in by all the societies, was given in Farrar
Hall, which had been beautifully decorated
for the purpose. At this concert' each associ
ation in turn performed acme choice musical
composition, and two pieeee • were sung by
them together—two hundred and fifty voices
in one melody—producintr a rare and de
lightful effect, of which no ; one not present
could possibly form a conception.
The great event of the occasion, however,
was the immense pic-nio in, pochran's Woods,
on Tuesday. During the day almost every
man, woman and child in the city was pre
sent at one time or another, and it is a low
estimate to say.thut not leas than from ten to
twelve thousand people must have attended
in bll. The amusements were cf the genuine
German sort, and everything passed off is a
delightful manner, without,a fight or disorder•
ly occurrence.' -The pic-nic was followed up
with a monster dame in Farrar Hall in the
evening, participated in by most of the
strangers, and our yotinger German citizens,
and witnessed by many enraptured American
born residents. By Wednesday the main dt
monsirations had ended, though there were
many pleasant episodes, which served to in.
tercet and amuse the visitors, tacit of whom
left for their homes during the day, charmed
beyond measure with- the -manner of their
treatment, and extravagant in the expression
of their feelings.
Thus terminated one of the meet memorable
events in our local history. It was on occa
sion that reflected credit to the fullest degree
upon the public spirit cf our people, anti
which will doubtless do much, by the good'
opinion which the visitors_liavarried away
with them, in extending the eeputation and
prosperity of. thelcity.
The York DistOrbanee.
• TVe promised in our last issue to publish a
correct report of the alleged attempt to assas
sinate Gov. Curtin and Gen.,Geary, at York,
Pa., week before last, of which the Dispatch
and Gazette have both published one aided
and erroneous versions. Befcre doing eo, it
is perhaps well to oopy the Gazette's state
ment of the affair, in order that the public
may have an opportunity of contrasting both
stories, and judging for themselves of the
amount of reliance to ho placed upon that
paper on lues:ions of a political nature. The
Dispatch's version of the story is the same.
lut its comments were of a less offe irire na
ture. The Gazette contained the following:
A DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT SO AASABSINATI
GOY. CURTIN AND Gas. Ocala !—Startling as
this statement may appear, it is nevertheless
true. On the 9th lust.,as Gov.Cartin and Gen.
Geary were returning from: the great Union
Miss Meeting, at Y..rk, the car containing
those two gentlemen, with the ladies and
children of the party, was fired at a number
ol times and perforated With bullets. The
open care containing the Union Veterans who had - been present at the meeting, were also
fired at, and assailed with a shower of stones,
brick bate and other missiles. Ralf--a-dozen
of the soldiers were badly bruised, and one
shot in the leg. The train Which had just
emerged from the depot, was stopped, and the
" boys in blue " at once jumped off and made
for the cowardly copperhead . tuteaaaine, who
fled in all directions and could not be cap
tured. It is also stated that the Democratic
authorities at Yerk appointed a large number
of copperheads as spec:al police on that day,
some of whom were concerned in the attack
on the train. This dastardly attempt to 'as
sassinate the present and Baum Republican
Governors of Pennsylvania, ehows how des
perate is the copperhead cause. and Co what
fiendish measures they will , resort when op
portunity offers. For , every shot fired, a
hundred votes will be rallied to the aide of
Liberty and Union in October. Not even the
most depraved copperhead sheet will deny
that the miscreants who thus fired upon un
armed men and helpless women and children
on Thursday last, will vottfAegi..- er - •i 2 .:V—asi

leis outrage caps the climax of copperhead
madness in Pennsylvania. Let all remember
that as Gov. Curtin and Gen. Geary pass
through, the Commonwealth; to address the
people, they are shot at ty hired assassins,
who vote the " straight Democratic ticket."
Of course, the Democratic press will ignore
this demonstration by their adherents—as
they dZi that of the rebel massacres at Mem,_
phis and New Orhiane. But their efforts to
dodge the Wye aro is yam, and the people
will not maintenance each ruffianism es that
displayed io this unprecedented and diabolical
attempt to autder the leading patriote of
Pennsylvania.
The object of the above infamous paragraph
is too plain to be mistaken. It is a fair speci
men of the prejudiced style in which the
Gazette usually refers to its political ppo
news, and is as untruthful 'as it it mealla
character. Of the correctness of what we say,
let every impartial person judge, after read—
ing the following, from a Riper publiehed
in thetown where the ditTiculties oceurreld:
On Thursday of last week the Republicans
held a meeting in Bantogardner'i Woods,
near town, which was attended by delegations
from some of the adjoining counties, and,
among others, one from Harrisburg, accona.
ponied by Om Curtin. They spent the day
according to their pleteure; undisturbed by
any of our citizens, and reedited the depot at
the railroad on their return!home. It seems,
however, that they ta-uld not leave our quiet
precincts without exhibiting the riotous pro
pensities which have so often impelled them
to mob demonstrations all over the country.
Tosthe disgrace of their party and their can
didates'theypiled stones into the open care
in which they rode before they started off.
and after it began to move they opened with
stones and pistols up)ct the hundreds of peace•
able men, women and ehifdten whiHined the
track of the road, never dreaming. cf attack
or disturbance of any kind: A. more brutal
and cowardly spectacle cover was exhibited
in this towb.
It Is not to be supposed that men would
submit to ke stoned and shot at by Harrisburg
gaw,dies, wtthout making some show - of de.
fence; and accordingly some of the cowardly
wretches who began the disturbance, in the
end.got moil) thou they bargained. We call
attention to the matter new, however, prin-
cipally to give the pub'io a , correct statement
of the facts, which, according to custom, the
Gearyite newspapers are distorting and mis
representing for the beast party purposes.—
It will be seen from the annexed statements
of eye witnesses, sworn to by them, and set
ting forth the undoubted truth, that not a
stone was thrown, nor the least demonstration
of violence was exhibited by - any citizens of
York, until they were stoned and shot at by
the men on the train. The_ whole blame of
the tea neaction rests upon the Republicans,
and chiefly upon those licked and unprin
cipled men who prepared the materials of
miechief by piling stoneslinto the care for
the purpose 'of being thrown 'at their own
friends and neighbors.
. We commend the following statements to
the perusil of our readers: They are made
and sworn to by men of the most, undoubted
veracity, whom no one here will undertake to
impeach:
WEATIIINNT OE DANIEL PLATTE
I came to the depot about 20 minutes be
fore the evening train for', Harrisburg moved
off.
,Tho first thing I new was David Jami
son, the watchman in the employ of Messrs.
Dilimyerli Small, assisted.by many of those
who were going on the train, gathering up
stones and throwing them t Into the cars. Up
to that time there had been no disturbance,
and I neither saw nor heard of any excite
ment. The train extended from about oppo
site King's Hotel up to seine_ distance above
the station, and I Was standing about the mid
die of the trail when I saw the stones loadeu
on the cars. There were a groat many per
sons of both sexes standiag along the track
and moving about. I stayed there but a few
minutes, and then moved up above the sta
tion house, and stood there until the train was
In motion. I saw the stones flying from the
cars before they got up to where; eras ezand
ing in company with others, and in passing
where I stood, I saw a min stand up in the
car and throw a stone as large as my fist to
wards me. That one missed my head by about
two feet,but while I partially turned to watch
the man who threw it, another stone was
thrown frcm the ear in the rear of hint; which
struck me on the forehead, near the temple , ,
inflicting a eevere. wound: At this time along
the whole line of the open cars, they were
throwing atones itto the crowd along the
track. The first stones which .were thrown
came from the train. About the same time I
was struck, a man on the cars fired a pistol,
ileo, Into the crowd_ I saw the flash. After
that many other etiots 'were fired from the
cars. I heard the reports and saw the flashes.
The citizens along the track then commenced
to retaliate by throwing stones it the train,
with what effect lam unable to : etate. But I
am positive that no stones were thrown at the
people on the train until they had commenced
the attack and continued it some time The
train stopped and backed, and I beard some
one from the oars try out, ~ .LO us catch the
Copperhead sons-of-bitche , snit kill ovary
one of them." I tooretbout of the crowd to
have my head, which was bleeding profusely,
properly dres.ed,-and am unable to state.what
further transpired. I have understood, how
ever, that there was no further ,disturbance.

I was at the railroad on Thursday evening
last. I was standing on the look out' above the
shop of - Billmyer & Small's for about a quar
ter of an' hour before and while the 'Harris

the train firing pint Is at the crowd. There
must have been six or eight shots or more
