OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
FIRE..=-On Tuesday night about 10 o'clock,
our citizens wero again called to the scene
of the incendiary's work. This time MR
DAVID SIPE'S stable, situated on Dickinson
alley was the build* fired, and it, with
its con tents—two tine horses, n valuable hearse
and a buggy, were utterly destroyed. The
firemen were promptly on the• ground and
succeeded in saving the adjoining property
some of which Was in imminent danger
ME. SIPE'S toss is heavy, amounting at a
rough guess, to $ 2,000 which is Martially
covered by insurance
A noticeable feature of the most recent
of these incendiary fires is that the torch
has been applied in the.ecening or early
night before our citizens have retired, rind
that the localities selected have been in the
most prominent and populous portions of our
borough. The inferences to be drawn from
these facts seem to us to be that the awfully
frequent warnings have its yet failed to
awaken our people to a consciousness of the
ever present danger from arson ; that the
miscreants who commit these outrages per-
redly aware of this fart, flrr house, store or
stable at their convenience or caprice; and
that our local constabulary is entirely pow-
.erless to provost crime of this spocies
Fellow townsmen, your own almost night
ly experience will bear witness that we have
not colored 01e facts, and we submit Unit the
all-absorbing duty of the hour is that ilia-
mediate steps should be taken to arrest this
besom of destruc.tion and punish the villain

It scorns Providential that no human life

themselves. 10 multitude of counsel there

Capt. Hutchinson's Speech
Most of our readers will remember Capt.
A. B. lluTTutvnox, who after lighting the
rebels in the tleld tor three years, en gallant
ly aided us in our campaign in this Coun
ty against their copperhead s nipathizers,
in 1864. The Captain is it native of Urn
tre county and his fellow- , mhlier4 there recog
nizing, his brave loyalty, sent him to repre
sent than at Pittsburg in the late conven
tion of the "boys in blur."
On that iieeasion Captain Ilulehinson felt
called upon to record his views on the ques
tions now absorbing the attention of our
people, and we print his speech in fulls on
our first pligv to-day. The Captain's many
friends here will be glad to see how stead
fastly he stands by the true faith and to 1: now
that his sword, voice and pen are as ever,
ready to do battle against our Country's ene-

The Constitutional Amendments
I.liA \veek Nvo publi,hed the Constittititonill
ft -..,-/1 by both - houses
of Congress and now to be submitted to the
several States for ratification. As the prin
elides enunciated in these concurrent reso
lotions are those upon which the lfninn
Republican party mean to light the impend
ing campaign in this State and indeed
throughout the country, it will he well, at
the outset to examine the doctrines and
prise pies taught therein. Considered as a.
distinct and independent proposition the;
article proposed as an amendment to our Ml
tional constitution proposes nothing and case
effect nothing which can he objected to by
any intelligent citizen of loyal antecedehts.
The broad declaration of United States citi
zenship, and the assertion of rights under it,
which are contained in the first section, will
settle beyond dispute and for all time this
important principle. It fixes permanently
the new legal status of the Freedmen, and
give a practical definition of national citi
zenship under which personal rights nnd ob
ligations may be enforced. The effect of it
will also belsalutary, through the deliberate
repudiation which it invOl 4 ves, of the con
trolling, obligation of State citizenship over
Federal allegiance, a heresy which controlled
the actipia v af a majority of the Southern
people at the outbreak of th , o rebellion. The
emphatic repudiation of that heresy was ono
of the most important, results of the war, and
it is wise to secure it beyond all future dis
pute by incorporating its assertion in the
federal Constitution. Of course the pro
posed amendment does not in any manner
affect the question of suffrage, it not bqing
an incident of citizenship, but a right con
ferred and regulated by the States; so quit
does not involve the vexed question Ot no-
gro suffrage-
The new adjustment of tho basis of fed
eral representation provided for in the sec
ond section of the proposed amendment, is
one 'which is clearly' demanded, by the
changed Condition of the South &owing out
of the war and emancipation. Whatever
was claimed as to the justice of the provision
wYnch existed previous to. the war, allowing
the 'South' to. send to Congress Representa
. tives . for three-fifths of its .slaves, has no
force now, There are atoWno slaves, and
if the freedmen—being citizens of the United
States-,are not allowed to vote, there is a
.manifest injustice in permitting Southern
whites to represent theta in Congress, and,
therebygiving to the South a representation
in Cdngress entirely disproportionate to that
of the North,- . By .the apportionment of
/860, the eleven' States u lately in rebellion
are eLtitleifto fifty-eight Representatives, of
whom represent the negro element.
There - is -no -longer. : any.- reason for,-this„
Emend paten hits broken down alLeeotional
. int e reats, tinged , upori . therefore,
the propo3ed amendment.in regardto repre
sentation has become necessary and •proper.
The disfranchisement of prominent rebels,.
the permanent recognition of the 'Federal
war debt, and the formal repudiation of the
rebel war debt, which are, the subjects of the
remaining sections of the proposed amend
ment, are matters concerning - , Which there
should be no dispute.
Wo come now to, that 4dotion . of tho
scheme which makes the adoption of those
resolutions as a part of the supremo law of
the land the condition of conceding to the
rebel States representation in Congress. It
is this that constitutes the issue between the
loyal people of the country and the op
position party, made up, as it is, of robol
copperheads, conservatives, office-hunters ct
id w a ne genus, with President Johnson as
leader or follower. The whole question di
vested of all collateqs or sophistries, is
whether the people of the loyal States are
prepared to hand over the government to
the control aid tender mercies of area who
less than one short year ago were in the
field with musket and cannon bent solely
upon the irretreivahle overthrow and des
truction of that government; or whether
the qualifications and guarantees expressed
in the amendment shall be insisted upon
imperatively as antecedent to re-admission.
We take it that there can be but one res
ponse.
Here is the Reading Journal's suMmary
of the wholomatter. What Republican can
feel faint-hearted with such It platform ty
do battle upon ?
lot, That Union men shall not be mal
treated, or driven from their homes any
where for the reason that they were in favor
of the Union, or fought for it during the
ERIE
2,1, at Rebel States shall not be rep
re,cilied, say by two members of Congress,
while 10):11 states have but one in propor- ,
tiun to their vote ;
3d, That no person who perjured him
self, in add dirm to taking part ngainst the
United Stites in the late rebellion, shall
hold any public office under the United
States or any State; unless the disability
shall be removed by a vote of two-thirds in
Congress;
fth, That the thieves nod robbers who
stole all the properly Of the United States
they could lay their hands upon, and taught
four years to retain their plunder, shall not
litre the power to repudiate our public
tdtt. or procure the assumption or the rebel
war debt by the United States
Geary Clubs
It is an unmistakable fact that the Cop
perheads are now moving heaven and earth,
inc instrumentalities
of a region much warmer than either, to
secure the election of Ilcister Clymer, their
chosen candidate for Governor of Pennsyl
vania. if the fact can be accomplished by
unwearied labor and industry, by fraud
and misrepresentation, and by the exercise
of that ingenious manomvering, for, which
they are so prominently distingukhed, to
gelhcr wi th the employment of vast - slims
of money, which they appear to have under
their control, thin they will succeed unless
our men are active and vigilent in their ex
ertions to de: oat them, We have therefore
urged upon the, dilferent election districts
the propriety of organizing and keeping in
full operation, until the day of the election,
(le try Clubs, to hold their regular meeting,
cir,nilit:e pamphlets and such other impor
tint information as will make the great
Union party of the commonwealth a unit,
and prevent our soldiers in particular, from
being decoyed into the c imp o the enemy.
It is upon the Later element that these
copperheads are now especially engaged.

A few weeks ago a great parade was made

organization of a Soldiers' Clymer Club in

appended to the call to get up this Clot).
The following soldiers publish a card in
Which they say that though their names are
down on the list they never signed the call,
and that they intend to do all they can to
defeat Clymer, who did all.he could to de
prive them of a vote while in the field, and
place them on an equality witn the negroes.

The Boys in Bine.
Soldie'r of Wormleysburg, a little town
on the Susquehanna, in this county, writes
as follows to the Harrisburg Telegraph. We
commend his, letter to the editors of the
Votuntege. The whole battle, this' fall will
resolve itself into the formula—Boys in Blue
for Geary—Boys in GreY and Comiboys for
Clymer.
TILE SOLDIERS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
WORMLEYSBURO, June 22, 1866.
Editor of the Telegraph: Allow a solder
to inform the public, through the columns
of your paper,
.g the workings and doings
of the "Boys in Blue" of Lower Cumber
land county, Pa., and of the treatment that
they have received at the hands of traitors.
We have formed ourselves into nn organiza
tion for our mutual protection, and now
number 105 honorably discharged sOldiers
residing near the home of General Geary,
and nightly add members to our roll. We
have held meetin g s at different places and
have invariably been -treated kindly and
with respect by all true and loyal citizens,
but not by Copperheads and_ traitors. We
had appointed ivmeeting at Shiremanstown
on the e‘ ening of the 21st inst.. which was
duly held. A choir of young ladies offered
their services to sing several patriotic: songs
for us, at our meeting, which wore thankfuly
received by the. •‘ Boys in Blue." This
being
too much Unionism for the Copper
heads of Shiremanstown, they determined to
break up our meeting by making threats
that they would throw bomb shells into our
camp, and intimated to the ladies not to
sing for us, saving that there would be a
disturbance. We were, however, spared
the unpleasantness of having alight, in con
sequence of the dislike that Copperheads
have for the* smell of brimstone. They
would, no doubt, like thcl assassin, have stab
bed us in the dark, but we were wide awake,
for we saw some of the same sort in the front,
only more of men than these, for they shoul
dered their guns and met us manfully, but
these world-ho stny-at-Immo pitrinte. thnugh
favorable to the rebels, were too cowardly to
do so; and now, the war being over, they
choose td nano) , and disturb us by their
threats and foul-mouthed sling. But in
spite of their threats, we held our meeting,
and marched through the town with our
colors flying, and cheering for the Union
and the " Boys in Blue." On leaving, one
of the more brave Copperheads proposed
three cheers for Clymer, when the l• Boys
in Blue" gave him three groans instead of
cheers, and left the town triumphant and
with no blood lost.

The , National Inteltigerthr —about the
most .respectable democratic newspaper:in
the country ;' which, altheughlt advocates
tho' waning ' ' fortunes of a party averse 'to
every political tenet not emanating from the
doss' pools of revolution' and' disuniorlism ;
a •party that, has inculcated, within it, irre
spective of the metaphor, all the virus of the

unholy cause in a sort of legitimate mariner,
and totally unlike the disgracefully low

qually bitter but insignificant cotemporaries.
.11 - ut the dignified and astute American thun
darer was misled the other day in flaunting
ly displaying in its leading columns what
purported to be a correct report of tho Sol
diers' Convention which met in Carlisle laAt
month. In its laudable desire not to mis
represent, a most woful imposition was per
petrated, in that the disgraceful proceedings
of the body were set forth as representing
the unanimous sentiment of , the honorably
discharged soldiers of that portion of Penn
sylvania. Loyal Washington readers of the
paper in question were sorely perplexed that
soldiers of the bravo old Keystone, who had
endured the rigors of a four years war, in
'contending for the preservation of the Union,
and sound principles, should entertain such
feelings as were indicated in the resolutions
adopted by the convention. It was an as
tounding paradox, and only unravelled by
the glorious news from Pittsburg, at which
place, as you are aware, f lee voice of honora
bly discharged soldiers all over the State, put
to the blush mahignants who had endeavor
ed to impugn their motives, and quickly dis
polled the illusion wherever it existqd, ii
rogaru to their political tone, and patriotism
The fraud upon tho people here with refer

though any action of the Intedligcnedir. The
journal did not even 'publish the Pittsburg;

As a drowning men grasp at straws, so
do the leaders of what c o nstitutes the fossil
remains of this almost abstdete democratic
institution, resort to every artifice laid or in
different, to promote its slow growth or re-.
siewitate its dying carcass. The hell-devis
ed and inhuman straits to which they are
forced arc just now developing themselves,
and if unsuccessful in propagating the Inter
ests of their party, they will aim with the
assistance of such auxiliaries as incendiarism
and lawlessness, at national destruction.
Only the other day a newspaper located in
the midst of thislstpulous city, for uphold
ing Oh right and fearlessly exposing the
wrong, was compelled to suspend publica
tion by ren , on of three successive attempts
to apply the tr rob.
It is difficult to conceive how any lune pos
sessing a tithe of the lnunan attributes could
conscientiously identify hi.nself with a po
litical organization so closely allied to the
principles of Lucifer. The dark chaotic re
gions or Ilades would not equal the condi
tion of affairs, moral, social and political
which would exist rampant in this country
were the copperheads ever to gain the ascen
dency. It behooves the "goodly - company"
of loyal men, then, to hold firmly - together,
and stand a living bulwark against tffidr evil
designs, to the end that law and order may
pievail and all attempts at a second civil
war be prostrated even at their inception,
One word in this connection, and that is,
how noticeable n "di-tinction with as differ
ence.' exists between the conservative branch
or the great Union party, and the Copper
head element which would strive to affiliate
with it. Though the former may some
times differ as to the expediency of certain
merLstire,4 proposed by the congressional ma
jorities it i. un inconLruvortible fact that so
for the finning, sickening ON eritlrCS or the
contemptible sycophants who adopt that
mode with the hope of securine•
capital, have 'oeen repudiated Ivitl; loathing.
In part evidence of this I can point to two
organizations at the seat of government,
with pri ncmles distinct as light and darkness.
The leading mind of the one is Ex-Gov. RA N.

A good story is told of Wigfall, who, at

Ileinit'y of a party of I uion soldiers in Texas,
Being well disgui,ed, he cut red freely into
conversation witn the soldiers or the guard,
and in the course of the conversation ask

Gov. MORTON, in his Indianapulis :Teach,
said:
"And here let ine address a word I u the
young men of Indiana. You are just start
ing in life, with the world all before you,
where and how to choose. Beware how
you connect your fortunes wi.h a decayed
and dishonored party, indelibly stained
with treason, and upon who,e tombstone
the historian will write: "False to liberty
false to its country, and false to the age
in which it lived." The Democratic party,
has committed a crime for which' history has
no pardon, and the memories of men no for
getfulness; whose colors grow darker from
age to age, and for which the execrations of
mankind become more bitter from generation
to generation."
A GnottoLt journal bolds this language:
"We hold that there is absolutely no ob
ligation on any Stato in the Federal Union
to be.what is termed 'loyal' to the Govern
ment of that Union, be that State in the
North or the South, or known by the name
of either Massachusetts or Florida, South
Carolina or Wisconsin. The thing is a free
will thing altogether. The South has a
future before her, and if now cast in the pit
by strong and wicked brethern will' yet, some
day, like Joseph, come to bear sway in 'a
mighty land. First and foremost to do so,
her record must be pure. Striot, stern, un
wavering republican contraction must be
her rule. She must sail under no false
colors, and neither affect d." penitence or a
devotion that she does not feel."
Does such talk as this invite the confi
dence of loyal men? Is it a wonder that
Radicals, or any other class of men endow
ed with common sense, fail to perceive that
people who so speak are fit to be admitted
to- full participation in the control of the
GovarnAtpt?
Ex-Rebels experience so little difficulty in
procuring pardons, that it puzzles us to know
why the $20,000 dollar clause was ever made

Parade of the Finnigan Botherhoo
Grand and imposing Display !
Tr-yite,
During the early part et last week the
'citizens of our "peaceful and quiet town,"
-were thro W 0 into quite a turoro of excite
ment by conspicuous posters announcing a
"Grand Review of the Finnigan Bother
hood" for Saturday the 2:lrit inst —The day
dawned clearly and the weather was oppres
sively warm, and the streets exceedingly
dusty ; notwithstanding all this, at an early
hour the town was thronged with smiling
country lasses, accompanied by their gal
hints, who were all anxious to see the " Fin-
nigfu~s. „
At 2 o'clock P. 11 t. the ea Pa !citric, :natio its
appearance on the Baltimore pike wending
its way towards the town. Tho General
commanding ( " Piggy -Dear-S w ne- Eye," )
rode at the head of the procession mounted
on his fiery, untamed charger, and displayed
some remarkable feats of horsemanship to
the wonder and admiration of the spectators.
He was accompanied by eight weathers of his
staff, turd two buglers, all magnificently at
tired. These wore followed by .',John
Neutrality Band," composed of fourteen
members, in their gorgeous chariot, drawn
by foal' horses, which were dri VQII by the iden
tical " Russel, of the London Times" who
upon this oce..sion handled the " ribbons"
with the same ease and grace which usually
characterize his writings. A troop of horse
men followed the "chariot," as a valid of
honor, and then came the main body of the
army, some in vehicles of all descriptions,
(with ono piece of patent artillery invented
by Surgeon General Guerildillas, Medical
Director of the army,) and the rest on horse
back.
When the cavalcade arrived in front of
the National Hotel, in honor to ?nine host,
the band struck up "h ail to the chief," and
continued to discourse, their sweetest music
through the principal streets during the en
tire route of tho procession.
The dresses were of the most ancient
and grotesque character ; and the many
happy and smiling faces observed, and the
numerous baguets presented all along the
route, were sufficient evidences that the en
tertainment was one of rare occurrence in
our town ; and as everything, passed otf har
moniously and without accident, wo 'incline
to the opinion that this demonstration was
ono of the most imposing;,orderly, and well
conducted affairs tWer witnessed in our bor
ough.
The procession was halted in front. of, the
Court Ifouso and 'the roll called, when each
and every member of the cavalcade answered
to his name, amidst tremendous applause
from the bystanders. - , -
The only thing that marred the festivities
of this occasion w s the Unpardonable ne
glect of some of our rincipal hotel and res
taurant keepers t supply the, necessary
quantity "Sala or Soup", as advertised,
Pinch to t i cha rin and disappointment of
those who,di not "Understatid the ropes.",
The exit f the Finnigans" was us mys

Commencement Week.
Tho exercises of Commencement week be
gan on Sunday evening with the Baccalaure
ate sermon to the Graduating Class delivered
by Prof. S. D. Hillman at Emory Chapel.
The effort was a highly creditable ono and
was duly appreciated by the large audience
which crowded the Church. His subject
was the " War Element in Nature and its
Lessons" and the orator justly made a di
rect and practical application of his theme
to the great questions now agitating the
public mind.
The contest of the Juniors for the prizes
annually given for oratory came off on Mon

On Tuesday evening Col. Bowman do
ivered the annual address before the Sods
.bis. Other engagements prevented our
bearing this address but we are informed
lint it was well worthy of the Orator and
he occasion.
On Wednesday morning the address before
the Alumni was delivered by Col. B. M.
llonderson, of this Borough. Thu orator
showed the necessity of universal education
Its a 'prerequisite to the stability of our in
stitutions and the prosperity and happiness
of the people. His address evinced that ho
hail thought carefully and earnestly on his
subject and was an unanswerable argument in
favor of elevating the masses through the cul
tivation of their minds.
On Wednesday Evening tlie Sigma Chap
ter or the Theta Delta Chi Fraternity held
a convocation in the Court House to which
an address by Horace J. Canfield .1 4 :sq., of
Buffalo, N. Y., and a Poem by Alvan F.
Gibbons. Esq., of Parkersburg W. Va., were
delivered. Both orator and Poet acquitted
themselves with great credit and to the entire
satisfaction of the audience, although Bish
op Simpson was at the Hall and Rev. John.
Chambers at the second Presbyterian Church.
on the same evening, there was a very fair
audience in the Court House, and the merit
hers of the fraternity have every reason to
congralitiate theni elves on the success of
their convocation.
The commencement ev3reises proper took
place yesterday, and were as follows
Satatat,,ry Addre.ss.—Uhas. B. Robland,
Lebanon..---Thi, may have been a well writ
ten Oration but our knowledge or the dead
languages being limited we did'nt alio it.
The delivery was easy and graceful.
Oration, Political Ethies.—Thos. O.
Mauror, IZeading.--The orator began by
drawing a pi'eture of man as be should be
and then (me man :is ho is. lie impressed
upon his audience the necessity of taking
part in politics and of the preservation of
the liberty of the press.
In his behavior on the stage, Mr. Manrcl,.
exhibited all, the self possession and easy
grace of a finished speaker and we predict
for hint a brilliant future both as a speaker
and writer.
Tendency of Uover,onent.—Vineent Bier
bower, York, Pa. This gentleman started
by diseu ,, ing the question whether or not.
the Repuldieau form of Uovernment is the
true one. He gla need hastily at the differ
ent fort us of Government and their changes
and argued the inevitable decline of Mon
archy. The orator regarded the American
Republic as the hopo of the world. - Mr.
Biorbowers delivery was excellent and his
entire peformanee was very creditable.
Oscillations of Mind.—Charles M. Buoy,
Milton, Pa. Mr. Buoy discussed the constant
action and reaction of the mind as it con
tinually oscillates bet Ween truth and error.
lie spoke of the burthening and oppression
of the mind until the sixteenth century
when the glorious dawn of the Reformation
cast light into the darkened intellects of the
world. Ile also spoke of the degeneracy Of
former nations and assumed no fear of,
any such result to ours because of the in
creasing vitality of Um. mind. .The orator
appeared to have great confidence in his
own powers but wo think a cultivation of
his voice and gestures would add-much to
the effects of his future performances.
Skepticism a . ,Blessing. —George Singer,
Halifax.—Tho orator took the ground that
skepticism was beneficial to Christianity as
it excited controversy. Ile argued that
- Ronan has done more good than evil even
by contending that ony,Saviour Was an in
comparable man. Lk predicted that Christian
ity will conquer and with its triumph will
come the golden ago. Delivery forcible and
style easy and graceful but, had imper
fectly committed his speech. •
The Utilitarian Theory.—Hoary F. Anglo,
Hagerstown.—This gentleman hold that the
reference of every thing to the scale of utili
ty was a selfish doctrine. Claimed that rad 7
icalisrn is the child of victory ; that in poli
tics it was excusable, but in Literature suici
dal. Just 'hero the gentleman grow weary
and ho gracefully retired from, tho stage.
Assisi ica'3 Defect.—J.. D. IC. Crook, Bal
timore.---Aln Crook agreed that our Na
tional defect was a hick of, . appreciation of
the fine arts. His love for the lino arts is so
intense as to desire that the rrtiples used for
culinary purposes oven among:..our lower
classes shotild bo fashioned anar those found

Gomari's'articulation was good and his ges
