Mutton CREEK -A Democratic Chili was
organized on Saturday evening, Sept. 28th,
at the school house, on Gospel Hill, in Har
bor Creek township. The following officers
were appointed President, Thomas Ken
drick ;, Vice President,'Charles Bliley ; Sec
retary, J. It. Smith ; Treasurer, Samuel L.
Potter. The Constitution and by-laws used
by the North East Club were adopted. The
Club was addressed by, H. L. White, Esq.,
and Capt. John H. Miller, of this city. Mr.
White's remarks were confined mainly to
the financial questions of the day, which he
dihcuSsed u ith a good deal of force, while
Capt. Miller made some telling points, show
ing that although he might be a good milita
ry man, Gen. Grant was not a safe person to
put in the Presidential chair. This is thii
first Democratic Club ever organized in the
township, and the meeting was well attend
ed by seine of its best citizens. Great en
thusiasm was manifested, and we congratu
late the Democrats -of Harbor Creek upon
having organized in a thorough manner.
We shall have a good report from there at

RETURNED TO EUROPE.—After a residence
amongst us of some three months, A. Pierson
Longbottom, Esq., left on Saturday upon his
return to Europe. We are informed that his
mission has met with the most complete
success, having concluded the negotiations
he came to carry out. Some of our most
prominent citizens have given him their en
ergetic co-operation, and substantially iden
tified themselves with his undertaking, thus
ensuring its proper management on this side
(if the ocean. We are led to bclieve,from the
representations of those concerned, that it
will prove a penuanent good to all interested,
and the commencement of a new era for our
city, bringing to it a commerce which is es
,,entially its own, and which should never
have been diverted from its harbor. We un
derstand it is the intention of Mr. Longbot
tom to return to this country in a few months
for a more lengthened stay, and to assist in
completing the working details of his gnat
undertaking, and we but.echo the sentiments
of all who have the pleasure of his acquaint
ance in wishing him 3 safe and pleasant
journey.
SriMUSISO PIIOCEEDINth4.—The employ
ees of the Erie & Pittsburgh R. R. shops, fully
armed and equipped, marched to the resi
dence of Mr. W. Murray, late supervisor of the
works, on Monday evening of last week, and
without any ceremony proceeded to give him
a "little piece of their mind" about the
way he had treated them, and managed
the company's business. After seizing com
plete possession of the premises, and parring
all egress to Mr. Murray, Mr. P. Mcquinnes,
who had been appointed for the purpose,
took out of his pocket the indictment which
had been prepared and read it, as follows :
"Mu. Mcnnxr —Dear Sir you
please accept this token of the friendship felt
towards you by the Eric & Pittsburgh Rail
road Shop employees lately under your su
pervision, as 'timely' evidence that your con
stant kindness and courtesy in both an official
and personal sense have not been unthought.
of or unappreciated. It has been your duty
to watch us ; it is now our privilege and
pleasure to ?midi you. The 'face' we show
and the 'hands' we extend to you are-meant
to keep true time ; this is no 'second hand'
expression of our feelings, and we hope to
take 'minutes' of your daily progress in what
ever 'round' of duties you may undertake.
With pleasant recollections of our past inter
course and best wishes for your future wel
fare, we remain your friends."'
This happy conclusion of the proceedings
took' Mr. Murray by complete surprise, and
atter accepting the watch in a speech Of
thanks, he threw open the hospitalities of
his residence to the party without reserve.
TIRE KNAPP AND BIM) CASES.—Tfie much
talked of cases against - Chas. L. Knapp and
Mary L. Knapp,lis wife----the former charged
with committing the extensive larcenies that
have transpired in this section, and the lat
ter with being the recipient of Cite stolen
goods—and George Bird, accused of being
an accessory to the same, were disposed of
by the Court last week. Mrs. Knapp was
released on some technical polht, and imme
diately arrested on a warrant from Crawfonl -
county, charging her with grave offences
there. The jury failed to agree in Bird's
ease and he was [allowed to go free. Knapp
was found guilty upon seven different indict
nrnts, and sentenced to pay a fine of PA
the costs of prosecution, and undergo im
prisonment in the Penitentiary, with hard
labor, for sixteen years. Ile was much de
pressed by the result of the trial, and has
several times declared his purpose of com
mitting suicide. On Sunday, he made
confession to the local of the Dispatch, ha
which he implielated several parties,but con
tinued to avow his wife's innocence. At a
little after five iu the afternoon of the same
day, Knapp attempted to kill himself by cut
ting a gash in his left ann with a' razor kept
in the jail for the, use of the prisoners. He
was found at toll length on the floor, cov
ered with blood, but medical assistance being
secured in time his life was saved. Hand
cuffs were afterwards placed upon him, his
hands being behind his back, but in some
way he managed to get them in front of him
by morning without disturbing the fasten
ings—a feat that surpasses the comprehen
sion of everybody. Previous to the attempt
at suicide on Sunday, he had gained posses
sion of an iron bar, with 'phich he contem
plated breaking jail. Oh Monday morning
he feigned severe illness; but was taken to
Pittsburgh, notwithstanding, heavily chained
and carefully guarded. .

Asseesments.
Systeniatic Work.
With all the enthusiasm that Democrats
display for their cause, there is one thing in
which they are greatly lacking, and that is
organized, qpietnatic' effort.
A large proportion of them arc too apt to
imagine all that - ii' necessary to promote the
success of their principles is to 'attend meet
ings, and shout loudly over the good points
mathe by the speakers.
We admit that to a Certain extent these
features are very good, showing as they do
the devotion of the parties concerned to their
faith, but they do little towards 'making
votes.
If one-half the time and money expended
for noisy and showy demonstrations, were
applied toward securing a thorough working

most important requisitions in conducting a

Watch the Postmasters
Information comes to. us from a variety of
sources that Democratic handbills and don-,
mews sent by mail Lave failed to reach their
destination, and there are suspicions , that
some of the Radical Postmasters have gross
ly neglected or violated their duty. As a
general thing, we have had no cause for com
plaint from the Postmasters in this county,
but there are three or four unscrupulous' fel
lows among the lot, whose names are at the
disposal of our friends, and who cannot be
watched too closely. It may be well for all
such to know that whenever papers or docu
ments properly addressed are withheld or
misapplied, the act constitutes a grave mis
demeanor, and we have assurance from
Washington that every, instance of the kind
reported to the Department will be followed
by a prolupt removal of the dishonest official.
The Chairman of the Co. Committeewill no
tify the members of that body whenever
documents arc sent fu g distribution, and re
quests that they will specially interest them
selves in. seeing to their prompt and safe
delivery to the persons for whom they arc
intended.
WE place the following paragraphs side
by side, that the ptiblie may be enabled to
draw their own' nferences: - •
"Henry Butterfield arose and said he dis
covered in the room the well-known counte
nance of our tormer fellow-citizen, George
IV. DeCamp, and as he was now a citizen
of New York, and as it had been agwrted by
the Seymour organ In this city that "he was
now engaged in the Democratic cause, he
moved that he be requested to speak for him
self,which motion was seconded and carried
amid a storm of applause."—Protecdings of
die Grant Club in Republican of Aug. 27th.
There are rumors upon the streets that G.
W. DeCamp, Esq., the best Radical
. stump
speaker in the county, since his residence in
New York, has become a convert to the
Democratic faith, and taken the. stump for
our candidates. We will not vouch for its
truth, but give the rumor just as it comes to
us.—Obserrer of Aug. 2002.
It will be perceived that we only pub
lished as a "rumor," without vouching for
its truth, what was a matter of comnion talk
in the city. How, then, can Mr. Butterfield
justify himself for stating what lie knew, if
he rend our paragraph at all, Was the rc
verse of the truth?
Tie SecretaiT of the Commonwealth, in
reply to a communication on the subject, ex
presses it as his opinion that as the law (Bs:-
franchising deserters has never been re
pealed, it must be included by the Sheriffs in
their election proclamations: lie ,adds that
"the decision of the Supreme Court decided
the law unconstitutional so far as relates to
deserters who have never been tried by court
martial, but leaves the law in. full force to
such as have been trted." As the right of
the Legislature to disfranchise a person who
has been tried and convicted by court mar
tial was never brought into question before
the Supreme Conrt.,we think the Secretary's
position correct. The state of affairs at pres
ent-is as follows : Deserters who have never
been Wed by CourtiMartial have the same
right to vote that they always had, but those
who have been convicted by due legal pro
.ccss are deprived 'of the privilege of fran
'chise. A. test case I will doubtless be made
-op iii due course oil tine on the latter point,
and we predict that it will be pronounced as
illegal as the other claims under the act.
1:v every district, the chief complaint of
our friends arises from the - difficulty of se
curing adequate funds to pay for the , neces
sary work of the campaign. The plan of
oar North East friends is a good one, and we
recommend It to the adoption of clubs every
where. They have each member of their
organization pay in a dollar, and as much
more as' he feels able, in this way raising
quite a respectable sum annually. This is a
much better system than the one of calling
upon itertain wealthy persons for the whole
amount, which throws the burden of
the campaign upon a small portion of the
party. There are not many Democrats who
will not freely give from one to five dollars
towards advancing the interests of the cause,
and if a systemactie course was
_adopted
throughout the — county, we feel sure that
several thousand dollars could be raised an
nually for procurkg speakers, distributing
documents, employia.g cauyassers,
Democratic Meetings.
The failure of the compositor to correct an
error marked in his proof made a disagrees
ble, mess in that portion of the letter from
North East, lu last. week's paper, stating the
date for the next mass meeting in that place.
The time was stated the 7th of Septemher ; it
should have read the 17th, the anniversary

THE citizens at the State Line wore inter
ested with a novelty for that section, in the
shape of a Dethocratie pole raising and meet
ing, on Saturday "afternoon last. The pole,
which is 115 feet above the ground, was
placed in its position lu preienee of is largo
and delighted assemblage. Excellent speech
es were made by Judge Dougherty, of Quin
cy, and Charles Horton, Esq., of North East.
In the evening another enthusiastic meeting
was held, which was eloquently addressed
by Senator Morris of Fredonia, and raptur
ously received by the audience. Another
Pole is to be raised on Saturday next, - at
Quincy, N. 1., five miles from the State
Line.
ThE Democrats of Fairview held a meet
ing inthe Union school house, on Saturday
evening last, which was quite largely attend
ed, the building being packed to its utmost
limit. The . Radical meeting, the week be
fore, we are informed, was a slim affair,
scarcely half a house full being present, in
cluding women, children and infants in
arms. David Olin, Esq., of Girard, was the
speaker im the ocession of the Democratic
meeting, and his effort is spoken Gras a mag
nificent specimen of logic and careful re
search. Mr. Olin is a' gentleman of more
than ordinary force and ability, and we Lope
to see his services called into frequent requi
sition-during the campaign. The next meet
ing will be held in the same place on Satur
day evening the 12th inst., when E. Camp
hauscn and Benj. Whitman will be the
speakers. The former will deliver his re
marks in German.
TUE address of Gco. A. Allen, Esq., before
the Democratic Club of Girard, on Saturday
last, is spoken of:as one of the best efforts
ever heard-in that part of the county. We
have taken a special pleasure in bringing
Mr. Allen before the attention of our friends,
regarding him as one of the moat promising
young men of the county, and arc glad to
know that our fityorahle opinion of hint is
shared by all who have heard hint upon the
stump.
TIIE Democrats of South Eric raised a
handsome hickory pole in front of the Na

the best of feeling prevailed. Col. S. Ross
Thompson delivered a fine speech, which
was heartily applauded.
We arc anxious to announce all Meetings
Lehi in the county and adjacent towns, and
if notice of any fails to appear, it is because
we have received no information of them
from the proper officers.
WE caution our friends not to deceive
themselves with the impression that the
apathy which characterized the Radical
ranks up to within a recent period will con
tinue throughout the campaign. That party
has a peculiar way of appearing half asleep
until within a month or so of the election,
when they usually manage, in this section to
get up a series of demonstrations of the hie-
Hest character. During the last couple weeks
the Radical leaders in this and the adjoining
counties have been laboring night and day•to
get their forces in good -working order, and
we are led to believe that the campaign on
their part for the next month will be unusu
ally active. In this county and Warren,
meeting are being held in every school dis
trict, all the party stump speakers are being
called into requisition, and no means are to
be lett untried to keep up the majorities
which they had during the war. It' is well
for the Democrats to kuow these fuels; so
that they may be preparcxl to pursue the right
course to counteract the eTorts of their polit
ical enemies.
JunoE Snows, our candidate for Congress,
passed through the city on Monday, upon his
way to Pittsburgh, where he is called by im
portant professional duties. The Judge is
looking exceedingly well, and his mild and
courteous manners vr:n the esweta of all who
meet him. We regretlhat the pressing rid
tore of his business obligations prevents him
from taking an active part in the canvass,
and visiting the people•in person. While he
shirks none of the responsibilities connected
with the nomination, he is free to stry that he
has no taste for political life, and would
.greatly have preferred the selection for Con
gress to have fallen upon some other person.'
The people will not fail to contrast the mod
esty which itnpels him to refrain from seek
ing official honors with the Mnbitlon and
greediness of his competitor, and cast• their
votes accordingly.
TIM Erie Academy will open for the fall
term on Monday next, under the control of
A. H. Canghey, Esq., as principal, with a

We sincerely hope that Air. Cang,hey will be
able'to place it upon a more emcees and ca
reer than has rewarded the efforts of I tis Pre

WE have it from good Radicat Atuthoritr
that .their meetingsin North East are among
the most spirited in the Bounty. The Presi

Tuz editors of the Titusville Herald were
last week arrested for libel, in publishing an
editorial statement and a communication
charging the "Anglo-American Oil Compa
ny" with being a "swindle.' The managers
of the corporatiori are mostly re , itlents or
persons well known M our city, and they
allege the statements of the Herald to be
scandalously false. They appear resolVed to
press the suit against the Herald to the dill

For the purpose of explanation, and in

well to say that the above is merely

C. 31. Durie.trst, Esq., has been nominated
for Senator in the,Adams and Franklin dis
trict. Mr. Duncan was fairly elected three
sears ago, but was turned out of his seat by
the Radical majority. How this was done
may be judged, when it is known that a
prominent Radical Senator afterwards said,
in a fit of passion, speaking of McConanghy,
to whom Mr. Dunean's seat had been award
ed, "I perjured myself to give that tl—d
scoundrel his seat:" Mr. Duncan is a gen
tleman of fine abilities, a good speaker and
au • excellent business man. He will be
elected by such a majority that the Radicals
will not dare to unseat him.—Laneaster

Tim Journal, a paper started at Tititsville,
by the Democrats of that city, all'er a fluctu
ating career as daily, weekly and tri-weekly,
has of length yielded to inevitable fate, anti
given up the ghost. It was a foolish experi

per' where there was not sufficient support to
keep ft-alive, and we foresaw from the start
what would be the result. The demise of
the 'Herald is another veritleathin of what
we have always preached, that it is a poor
policy for Democrats 6 establish any more
new papers, and that all their superfluous
means and energies ought to be applied to

cal department will be in charge of B. F.
Sloan, Esq. As the local columns of a daily
journal are entirely sepearated front its politi
cal, there is no inconsistency in having a
Democrat of Mr. Sloan's positive qualities in
that position. His experience and ability
are a guarantee that this feature of the new
paper will be a success, whatever may be its
merits in other respects. In its political tone
the Republican is promised to be an expo
nent of the most advanced Radicalism. A
lively race may be expected between it and
the Dispatch, and, as usual, "the longest pole

Ju'r after going to press last week a fire
broke out in the barn, rear of the residence
of 31r. Richard O'Brien, on Third street,
which soon extended to the pattern shop
. of
Noble, Hall & Co.'s works, adjoining. The
liarn was totally destroyed and also the con
tents of the pattern shop, though the build

damage. The cause 'of the fire. remains a
mystery. 31i. O'Brien loses about $l,OOO
and Noble, Hall & Co., about OA.' The
firemen were on hand promptly. and lahored
with untiring zeal, which was rewarded by
Mr. O'Brien, with characteristic generosity,
by a collation at the Continental Hall in the

"Resistance to the Reconstruction Acts not
