Democratic County Convention.
The County Convention of the Democracy
.f Mother Cumberland met in the Court
: Ouse on Monday last. The attendance
was large and the contest for nominations
mpreccdently tierce. The Convention or
_ anized by electing Wm. M. Penrose Esq,
hairman, and two other gentlemen Secre
aries. After the organization a most emus
ng scene occurred. Sonic delegate moved
hat Captain SINGIZER address the Conven
ion. This was carried and the Captain, went
o work. He informed the Convention that
e was a young man aril felt unequal to the
ask of making a speech. He next surprised
a good many delegates and nearly all the
office hunters by demanding that three sol
diers should be put on the ticket. Then he
!aye the radicals in Congress a little turn on
he admission of the States that would have
.eat Thad. Stevens howling into ot , scurlty
•ad he unfortunately heard it. Then he
tot back to the soldier business and then the
'onvention got somewhat disgusted. Pretty
.eon D. K. Noma, moved that they proceed
o business. Singizer knowing that ho was
.usy supposed that was about enough of
.usiness and dashed ahead frantically. The
.1d stagers of the party were getting very
nervous. The chair went, .to put the ques
tion but Singizer wasn't going to besquelcbed
.ut so. He know a "piece and he would
peak, it. In desperation he threatened if
the Convention did'nt nominate the men he
named be woo d bolt. This brought,up the
°idler candidates at once. They knew, if
;inezer did'nt, that bolting wasn't the card
n a Democratic. Convention. Major Dor
heiiner imade e rush, for the too, ardent ad
vocate of the boys 'in blue and amid cries of
orders' "• put him Pout" sit, down " and
enertd hub-bob, the soldier orator went
rider. Here was a whole lot of work that
. ad been specially bargained for and which
give bother unless outsiders wore

are only chosen every five years some three
of our eleven disappoiLted friends' will have
to wait a quarter of a century fortheitYhon
ors even if no soldier dodges are sprung
upon future Conventions. To the disap
pointed candidates for the less impoSing hitt
more lucrative honors of the Court' ROO)
we suggest that their occupation ig;about
gone and they had better turn
,theiratterf
tion to something else and give up all hope
for nominations for the rest of their natural
lives. Many of them are infinitely better
men than those•who were put in nomination,
but fitness for office isn't generally a ctnsid
eration in Democratic Conventions.
Capt. Sin:mules• threat of disorganize'
tion brought the Convention up to the mark.
on the soldier nominations. For fear of
losing the few soldiers :who act with 'their
party the three men whom ho demanded
were nominated. We aro informed,'how
ever, that before these nominations 'were
made those• gentlemen prepared and sent
written statement to the Convention that
"they repudiated Sin&br's doctrine and
that they didn't ask the nomination as sol
diers, but merely as citizens." The Con
vention then put them on the ticket and
"although they did it willingly still it was
against their will " The gentlemen who
repudiated Singizcr were .guilty of a little
ingratitude as but for his speech and threats
they would have never seen a place on the
ticket. Although Singizer's speech did'nt
reflect much credit on himself, it was worth
more to three soldiers who were nominated
than their military record and friends com
bined. When everything else was finished
the Convention voted WILLIAM KENNEDY
Esq, Chairman of the County Committee
fur the coining year much to the disappoint
ment of some aspiring young gentlemen we
know of. This was inertly done to prevent
confusion in the workings of the machinery
of the party as that gentlevn is at present
the reputed "Head CentYe " of a secret
oath bound organization of the partpin this
County.
The ticket nominated by the Convention
has created very serious dissatisfaction among
the terrified and if our friends do their duty
we can give the nominees inure trouble be
fore, the people than they bad before the
Convention. Thin is the ticket.

The New Orleans Riots
Since the rebels of the South inaugurated
an era of blood-shed by firing on Fort Sump
ter, nothirig 'has occurred which has so filled
the public mind with painful alarm and ap
prehelision as the late riots in New Orleans.
We published lust week the first reports of
this last cowardly s'aughter of loyal men to
gratify the malignity of rebels who have
been emboldened by the treacherous conduct
of ANL/RENY JOH:4BON , and this week we
give a more detailed account of the outrage.
The flags of the occurrence are simply these.
Governor VELLs (who was elected to his
position by the votes of both parties) called
together a Convention elected in 186'4 for the
purpose of deliberating on the political affairs
of the State. The Mayor of New Orleans,
whom BEN. BUTLER imprisoned for treason
and ANDREW JOHNSON pardoned for the
same offense, determined that the Conven
tion thus legally called together should not
assemble. Oa 11/t3 day bcittr n thn mootiog Int
issued his orders to the police to be in read
-110.55 and doubly armed. The Sheriff of the
city, an ex-rebel gendral, mustered in at the
same time 250 additional deputies. After the
Convention assembled this force, NY IIICI1 9 :WItS
composed entirely of paroled rebel soldiers,
without any further provocation than
would have been sufficiently punished 'by
arresting a half dozen of men, murdered 50
persons at d wounded 160 more (later ac•
counts more than double these numbers,)
Among the martyrs were Ex-Gov. ?AUN,
Dr. DOSTIE, Hon. JOHN HENDERSON, and
many others who had stood up for the Union
whilst their murderers were fighting brave
ly to establish the Southern Confederae4.
Of course all the Democratic journals in
the land arc tilled with statements rind argu
ments that, are intended to excu-e and even
justify this roost revolting butchery of hu
man beings. They have been so accustom
ed to justify murder, treason and crime of
every grade when committed in the interest
of their party, that they have no repugnance
in volunteering to defend any thing of the
sort. They tell us it was an illegal aSseni
blv and that it wits intended to interfere
with the rights of the-people of the State.
W hat constitutes and illegal assembly ? Less.
than forty inen here assembled under the
proclamation of the Governor—in what
sense is that an illegal assembly T But their
intentions were revolutionary. Where on
earth are men punished for their intentions
much less murdered for them? The eonven- ,
tion hind not done a single act— had barely 0:•-
gitnized; where was there a shadow, of-tin
qx
cuse fa the authorities even to disperse it
peaceably? Grant ill that is said of it and all,
that the most shameless apologists for
min
der could imagine and what does it into aunt
to ? If it was an illegal assembly it should
have been dispersed immediately. We tare
not exactly posted with regard to the rela
tive abilties of the authorities'lnd the 0011-
vehtion fer a contest, but t wo presume that
'the police force of Tdew o,rleans,' backed lay
:the citizens and the military, in the city all
fully armed and at Imnd might have been
sufficient to disperse forty men. But these
excuses are till idle, whe;n the rebel police
Clime into the hall the officers of the con von -
tion otrereti to surrender themselves and
were replied to by a Volley from, pistols

THE ISSUE
isiduncortainty should oxist in the mind'
of'eMy, voter ne to tholseue,upon which he
is tU:pass inclths'autumnal..pleetleM, ,IsTever ,
were the 40iflink lines hOtWeen partiis More
plainly marked than hetvieeh oureelVes and
opponents in tbkpreeeni, 'eamprtigni :if a:
single peritun fails to ortipiehend'the:situ rt- tion of affairs, his trmraUee is utterly inex.
eusable.
The President assumes that the States lately
in rebellion, having ratified the Constitution
al amendment prohibiting slavery, are en
titled to immediate representatiOn in Con
gress, and,that all that, either branch of that
body S to is to Piais 'upon the qualifl-
Cations thoSewho - tnity present themselves
as representatives from such States.
We, on the other hand, maintain that
those States halo forfeited all right to rep
resentation by virtue of their rebellion, and
can secure it only upon compliance with
such conditions as the loyal people, in Con
gress assembled, see fit to prescribe. We
deny that Oi s e President has by virtue of his
office, any authority to reconstruct the
U nion of the States, and that any attempt
upon his part looking to this end is a usur
pation of the power which belongs only to
the legislative power of the government.
Congress, at its recent session, has embod
ied in the Form of amendments to the Con
stitution, the terms upon which those States
can secure a representation. To accomplish
this, n sacrifice of conflicting views was, of
course, necessary.. Probably no one, in
such a state of affairs, could be perfectly
satisfied with all the details of any plan
which could command the requisite tive
thirds, vote. The amendment before the
people for ratification or rejection exhibits
the best that could be secured.
It is the duty of every voter to make him
self familiar With the bearing of the proposed
amendments and to exercise the privilege of
suffrage according to his conviction of right.
No ono should allow himself to be prejudiced
by outcries which have been, and which
will be, raised about matters which are en
tirely foreign to the real issue involved.
Ara the terms prescribed by Congress un
just? That is the gist of the whole contro
versy, upon which each and every voter has
an opportunity of expressing his opinion.
Shall there be any safeguard against the
recurrence of rebelliOn? If we forbear to
insist upon the halter doing its work, are
we, therefore, precluded from taking any
precautions against treason I Have those
lately in rebellion manifested any, the slight
est, penitence for the course they took ? If
so, when and how? Has there been even a
graceful yielding to inscrutable destiny ?
When were arrogance and defiance more
marked, whether we take as types the Jar
boos who figure in tourneys in the bailiwicks
of Bowiedom, in our own State, as Heights
of the Lost Cause," or the Stophenses who
lecture a government they strained every.
nerve to destroy upon its duties toward the
would he destroyers'?
Their penitential confession is simply this:
We have done nothing wrong. We would
do the same again if we should have a favor
able opportunity. If, however, there aro
any who. think we have done wrong, we
are perfectly will.ng to be forgiven.
Those who are prepared to pronounce full
absolution in view of such a confession, will
if they have a chance, vote against us at the
ensuing election.
The Volunteer thus kindly notices the
first meeting of the GEARY Club.
The disunionists and rumpers to the num
ber of some fifteen or twenty, met. at
Ito fr.r.m's Hall, on Saturday evening, to
make an effort at organizin g tboir e,..atterea
faction. None of the recognized " leaders"
were present, and the affair had a dismal
and black appearance. Finally, the Demo
cratic boys present, for the purpose of hav
ing a little fun at the expense of poor
JIMMY SMITH, vociferously demanded a
speeds from him. The Republicans pregent
hung their heads and hoped, no doubt, that
SMITHY" would, for once, " refuse to be
made the butt of young - copperheads," as a
sly old fox of the party was heard to say.
But the boys succeeded, and they shouted
and laughed as the object of their irony was
seen to raise his graceful form from a re,
cumbent to a half-carelessperpendicular po
sition. Just at this moment a considerable
movement in the small gathering was
noticed, occasioned by the "going out" of
the greater portion of those who had got up
the meeting. The Democratic urch.ns,
however, were not to be foiled, and they
cried out to SMITH, "go on." "SMITHY"
gave ono of his peculiar looks at the boys,
blew his interesting nose with his fingers,
opened his mouth and—belched. Ho was
about to take his seat, but the little rascals
would not permit this, and they continued
to cry out—" go on, go on." "SMITHY"
tid he .. did not conic to the meeting to
['Mks a speech, but yet the patriotic blood
in his patriotic veins fairly boiled at times,
whet- •he noticed that such men as PORTER,
ZINN, STEVENSON, WILSON, and scores of
other rascals wore deserting the "loyal
thieves to join the copperheads." [Great
laughter, followed by another belch from
the orator.] hate believed "that BRANTON,
of the Volunteer, was at the bottom of all
this mischief, and Bitarron, it was well
known, was not flt to carry blood from a
slaughter-house." [Continued laughing,
and another belch.] "As for Capt. POR
TER, ZINN, STEVENSON and the others who
acted withthem," said be, "they are the
greatest set of asses and traitors this world
over produced. They have no influence, no
put—no patriot—ho pa"—at this point the
speuker,could not articulate, and asked for
a drink. Ono of the boys gave Wirt .a cup
of water, but after smelling at it, he put, it
'iloWll,' andi continued—" I say they' hare no
patriotism, and I am glad they have left us:"
[More laughter by the boys.] SMITHY sat
down, and.the youngsters quietly dispersed.
It is hardly necessary to any that the
whole of the. above is a frame work of false
'hoods „got up in , order . that the Volunteer
Might relieve itself of a surcharge of venom
and vituperation. The meeting was as large
a clab meeting as, wo have seen of either
party in Carlisle, and considerably greater
in members than the imp to which .tho junior
editor of -the Volunteer addressed his rather
remarkable legal effort. 5Mr. Surru paid
his respects to Messrs ZINN and Pottron, but

In alluding to the gentlemen who were
present at the National Union Johnson
Convention, held in this place on the 28th
ult., we mentioned the names of Wu . M.
PORTER, Esq.,formerly editor. of the Carlisle
Herald, and GEO. ZINN; Esq., formerly
editor of the American, but unintentionally
neglected to mention the name of J. MAniox
WEAKLEY, Esq., present editor of the Herald.
We cheerfully make the correction, as it
was with no intention of doing Mr.
WEARLEY injustice, that we neglected to
notice ,his attendance.— Volunteer.
" J. MARION WEARLEY present editor of
the Herald" returns his thanks to his cour
teous cotemporary for the above kind notice,
and assures biro* that the apology for ne
glect is entirely unnecessary. Ho was pres 7
ent at the Johnson Convention and also at
the Democratic Convention held here last
Monday and he congratulates the managers
of both shows on their success in getting up
most amusing entertainments. In the way
of fun to all but:the unfortunate participants
there never has been in our Borough any
performance that equaled them. The "pres
ent Editor of the HERALD" will attend all
future " National Union Johnson Conven
tions" and all other Democratic gatherings
that are open to the public, unless othei en
gagements interfere, and at any time our
neighbor wishes to prove him a good Andrew
Johnson man the editorials of the HERALD
are at his service for that purpose.
Among the incidents of the late Clymer
soldier's convention the Volunteer gets the
following.
The Beaver county delegat3on was com
posed of twelve delegates. ° Of these nine
arc wounded men formerly Republicans, who
never voted the Democratic ticket. These
soldiers are now enthusiastic for Hiester
013-n3er.
Beaver County is on the western border
of Pennsylvania—full 300 miles from here.
Isn't it singular that the nine wounded re
publicans who aro now Clymer men should
hail from that place. Is it possible that
you must go to where the "sky meets the
ground" to find Republican soldiers who
support Clymer? How would it do to got
these gallant Republicans into n body and
use them for holding Johuson Conventions.
Those nine soldiers` would make four John
son Conventions, Cumberland County size,
and have one 'soldier left. A party that
manufactures such stories as the above for
effect must be poor indeed.
Jonas W. GEARY was a Know Nothing
of the most violent kind before Abolitionism
swallowed up that party.— Volunteer.
Oh yes, of course. Ho was appointed
Governor of Kansas by a Democratic Ad
ministration when Know Nothingism was
rampant. Was pbor Pierce in the habit of
appointing Know Nothings to office? Don't
be so glaringly absurd.
As the Carlisle Herald has attempted to
bolster up the reputation of Gen. GEAILY
by quoting a letter from Gen. SLOCUM.
Volunteer.
The HERALD did nothing of the kind,
GEN. GEARY'S reputation needs no bolster
ing. We quoted GEY. SLOCUM merely to
show how infamously you slandered a man
who fought as valiantly for his country' as
any man alive.
The Campaign in York County
The friends of GEN. GEARY, are at work
enthusiastically in York and in spite of the
almost overwhelming odds against them,
are making a gallant tight. On Thursday
last they had a Mass meeting and Pie-Nic,
which was certainly ono of the greatest po
litical gatherings ever held in this part of
the State. The escort of Gen. Geary and
Gov. Curtin from Harrisburg and New
Cumborland alone numbered 1600 persons,
accompanied with four bands of music and a
drum carps. In every respect it was a mon
ster demonstration and its effect will be seen
in the reduced Democratic vote of York
county in October. GEN. GEARY, '.Gov.
CURTIN and other distinguished speakers
made able and telling uddresses.
We regret to state that after the meeting
was over an attempt. was made to assassin
ate GEN. GE.A.ItY and Gov. CURTIN, as they
gore leaving for home in the train. For
tunately the distinguished gentlemen escaped
although four , men who were in the same
cur, wore wounded. TIM True Democrat
gives the following account of this dastardly
act:
Since writing our regular report of the
picnic on Thursday last, additional partic
ulars have come to hand, in reference to the
diabolical attempt made by HOMO of the
Democratic town rowdies of our borough, to
take the life of Gen. Geary and others, while
they were in the ears returning home in the
even'ing. Walter Ruby a son of - Joseph_
Ruby, one of the regularpolice ollieent, and
who himself had been appointed as a special
police officer for the day, fired six shots from
his revolver intn . the train AS it was moving
away from the depot and this seemed to be
agreed upon as the signal of a general assult
from a number of other rowdies, who had
concealed themselves in an adjoining corn
field, and who were provided With - muskets>
stones and Other missiles to accomplish their+
deadly purposes. The car i nto . which young
Ruby fired, was, occupied
,by GOP. Geary,

Who Was Dr. Dostie
Correspondence of the World
FULTONvILLE, Montgomery Co. Aug 4.
Since the people are about to have another
"martyr," in the person of the late ' o Doctor"
Dostio, let me give you some of his antece
dents. Ho was for some years a resident of
Amsterdam, whore ho pursued the calling of
a village barber. I, a boy at the time, re
member hini well. Ho was a man of light
build, with a sharp, pale face; long black
hair floating over the collar of a seedy black
coat ; enormous Byron shirt collar, unbut
toned at the throat, and a hat lia'ving the
style of brim affected by "sports." Altogether
his appearance made him a terror to small
boys, and a laughing stock and butt to those
of larger growth. In connection with his
barber shop, of which he was solo proprietor
and the only journeyman, he started a cheap
bathing establishment, consisting of a force
pump and two tubs, wherein the great and
small unwashed might bathe for the small
sum of six and ono-quarter cents the bath.
The enterprise however, did not pay, and
Dostie's capital in pump and tubs was all a
float. With no means to pay board and
washing bills, poverty stared Dostie in the
face, unless something should opportunely
turn up. The dental art suggested a remedy
for Dostie's woes, and after a thorough
course of instruction under the village den
tist, covering by count exactly two weeks
and three days, Dostio was graduated a
"doctor" of dentistry. The "doctor" then
,nigrated to Chicago, where I lost sight of
him, till the hero of many a fight between a
stiff beard and a dull razor turned up as a
newly manufactured Radical martyr in New
Orleans.
In the old tub and lather-box days, it
would have been impossible to havo found a
man of "less account" in Amsterdam than
" Doctor" Dostio, who was generally regard
ed as a lunatic or fool. But now the Radi
cals in and about Amsterdam rank the de
ceased "Doctor" with John Brown and the
late President Lincoln, and mourn him as a
" martyr." It is a matter of serious consid
eration whether or not, if the funds shall be
raised, his body shall be borne through the
country wrapped in the American flag, and
finally laid down in sorrow amid the scenes
of his early tonsorial triumphs. There is to
be no Ilomerio dispute between the rival
cities, Amsterdam and New Orleans. Am
sterdam claims her soapy son ;'and no doubt
Congress can be induced to make an appro
priation for the transportation of the "mar
tyr's" remains.
Dr. Dostio was once a barber and became
a Dentist, just as Andrew Johnson was a
tailor and is now President. That is the
beauty of our Republican form of govern
ment because it permits a man to rise. It
was not his once being a barber, but his
conspicuous loyalty and love of universal
freedom, that causes these maltnant hisses
of the copperhead press. And . his earnest
desire that the loyal Southern majority
should not be placed under the heel of the
rebel minority, was the cause of his butchery
by those whom the World and its ilk, are
now hounding on to other deeds of lawless
ness and violence.
CASE OF JEFF. DAVIS.-A few of
the Southern papers of the most peppery
character have entered into the agitation of
the question :—What would happen it Jeff.
Davis should die in prison ? Some of them
think Nature would go into convulsions.
The Richmond Times says :
"'The death of such a man in prison,
after the world knows what' he has suffered.
will arouse a maraca storm which will sweep
from the center to the circumference of
Christendom, and pillory to shame forever,
on the page of history, the actors in the
dark tragedy of Fortress Monroe. The
death of Davis in prison would be an in
dignant theme beforewhich the deeds of the
inquisition, the crimes of the Bastilo, the
murders of London Tower, and the horrors
of the Austrian dungeon, wilt glow radiant
I rlvith the light of Justice and mercy,"
There are several thousand bettor men,
says the Cincinnati Commercial, then Jeff.
Davis, who died' in prison in the South and
and assisted to arouse n moral storm that
swept secession froin the face of the earth.
But we think Jeff might dio without excit
ing any extraordimiry eornmotion,:moral or
physical. If he cannot live on veal cutlets
and fresh oysters,`With his wife and servants
to pot him, perhaps -he had. hottei..,be_yei-.
mitted to die quietlY... A groat many better
men—bettor Christians; acCording to all re
ports—have been hung without producing
earthquakes or tornadoes . Perhaps the ex
periment of hanging, will yet bo tried with.

This ail the day that Andy Johnson,
Alex
ander H. Stephens, Clement L. Vallandig
ham &Co's., grand menagerie is advertised
to exhibit in the City of Brotherly Love.
likeivise the' anniversary or-Jeff. Davis's
i)roelarnation" excluding Union' men from
the Smitheria Confederacy. It may be
worthy of remark that while poor . Jeff. by
reason of his contlnement in Fortress Mon- I
roe is unable to - carry out his proclamation
to the fullest extent desirable, the noble
Andy is kindly carrying it out to the bust of
big ability, for 'when "nobody won't go,"
Somebody's hurt, as at Memphis and New
Orleans the other day. It is said that Andy
,Curtin " can't ace': the
,utility of calling out
the militia "to protect the Philadelphia
convention," as the New York Herald has
it. The Governor doubtless thinks we have
had enough to do to take care of those fellows
during the last four years. Is it not funny
how frightened these ex-rebel generals and
office holders are on reaching a loyal city !
The innocent lambs! how strange it really
is that such loyal and upright men as Val
landigham, Stephens, Dick Taylor, Moseby,
Forrest, etc. ole., should embrace the pro
teCtion of Pennsylvania militia (once Lin
coln's hirelings) who are at this hour en
camped on the Girard College Green, for
I this is the latest phase presented by the
Jeff. Davis convocation.
l y
The Copperheads are gnashing heir teeth
in wrath over the bold and Maid manner
in which Governor Curtin met al . the great
national issues at York on. 'Thursday last.—
These Copperheads inferred from the false
notes of the central organ of the Republican
party hero that the Governor had a hankering
after Andy Johnson's Bread and butter,• in
which they were never more mistaken.—
There never was a reasonable doubt as to
whore he would stand in the great contest
that is now fully upon us—He has already
been congratulated by letters from all parts
of the country on his fearless stand at Yorlt-ro
The attack of the Copperheads upon the
Harrisburg, Carlisle and Mechanicsburg del
egations as they were leaving. York in the
excursion train, was a most dastardly affair
and might have resulted in the murder of
either the present Governor of the Common
wealth or of the gallant Soldier who is to
take his plAce next January. The car in
which were General Geary, Governor Cur
tin and the ladies was riddled with bullets
and the windows battered in. The Copper
head special policemen were foremost in the
murderous assault, one of them firing six
shots in quick succession at the Governor's
cur. I learn that the Northern Central
railroad Company contemplate taking some
decided measures against the assaulting
party, who are now pretty nearly all identi
fied.
The Harrisburg Soldiers' Geary Club have
resolved to attend the great Republican
Gearrmeeting at Reading next week. By
the way the Soldiers at the home of Clymer
are by no means terrified; at least one would
suppose so to see these gallant men drilling
nightly in the streets of Reading. They
have already formed ono huge regiment,
divided into fifteen companies of sixty men
each, properly officered, and commanded by
Col. Ijurrell, with stall' officers. In the
ranks of this Regiment, which is made up
entirely of Reading Soldiers, may be seen
gallant g' nerals, colonels and other officers
of rank, serving as privates. Good tor Old

•
Ti e County School Superintendent.
r Editor, having been present at what
ma be called an " Indignation meeting of
School Directors." I propose to give you a
few facts with reference to the action of those
who r quested the State Superintendent to
have Mr. Ileffletinger examined, and the
commission withhold "in case he was found
incompetent."
After Mr. Hefflefingor was elected ho was
requested to present himself to the conven
tion of School Directors and deliver an ad
dress on the subject of education. He did
present himself, and after the usual thanks
&c., for the honor confered, (without touch
ing the subject on which he was requested
to speak,) commenced a.tirade against those
who opposed him on account of incompeten
cy, and said, "All I ask is en opportunity,
and 1 will prove that I am compotent."—
This speech loft us no middle course, we
must auhrait—or prove, that our objections
were well founded. I'6 chose the latter
course and determined to give hint such an
opportunity as would effectually settle the
matter. Taking it for granted that no friend
of education would desire the office to be
filled by one grossly incompetent, and if
competent, we desire to know it, so that we
could tell what confidence to place in the
certifier to he might grant to teachers.
The examination was hold, and for the
credit of Vumberland county, I wish the re
sult had been different, All agree that Mr.
Hedlefinger is a fine man, a very good citizen
and but for this affair -might have slipped
through the world with the reputation of
knowing something. But notwithstanding
ho was crammed by a celebrated Professor,
preparat,ry to his examination; ho failed
grossly in all the branches on which he was
examined.
My space will not allow me to note all the
blunders Mr. Hoff!anger made; but a few
examples will suffice, and if their correct
ness is doubted, there was a gentlemarf from
a distant county present who took notes,
and will be qualified to their correctness.—
We did.not see the written orthography, but
verbally ho could give no idea of tho mean
ing of " clemency," nor could ho compose a
sentence in, which the word would occur.—
Geography he sailsynsdividcd into Natural,
Physical and Matherciatical Natural Geog
raphy described the Natural divisions of the
earth. Physical, describes the land and
water ; and Mathematical relates to the di
mensions of the earth. Ho located Harper's
Ferry in Maryland) Vicksburg, in Tennes
see or Kentucky ; West Point Military A
cademy, "where GeneralScottdied recently,"
in Virginia, and ho said that the school at
that place was not in operation during the
rehOlion. Chilocotho was in Tennessee, and
Schenectady was in Canada. In history,
Columbus was patronized by tho Queen of
Franc The battth of Pittsburg landing
was fought during the Revolutionary war,
Washington in supreme command, and
Braddock subordinate to him. And the
Vatic of New Orleans was fought during
the. Mexican war in : 1846 7/Scott and Tay
lor in supreme command and old Hickory
Jackson subordinate. Was it not too bad
to - thus-ignore the:old-Hero r after celebrating
his' victory for , fifty years, to take his laurels
from him st this late clay, and place them on
the heads of men, who can well do without
the addition.'
When requested to give his answer in
writing he said he would ,$ rather just - tell
IV' The examination was• conducted fairly
and, honorably, and If Mr. Ilefllefinger's
total failiire is to be tributed to fright and
cOnflision it is certainly a most lame and
impotent "'excuse: The fact is ho had
forgOtteffso much, that there . was nothing
left in him, • and the sooner his friends
'smother up the whole affair, the sooner it
will be forgotten. They only injure Mr. 11.
and provoke investigation; which he and his
friends should shun. 'Mr. Swartz had no
morehand in this matter than any citizen
of the,county had a perfect right . to have.—
He may have signed the certificate desiring
.the examination,had for, that he is certainly
entitled, to. the gratitude of , all friends of

mothod of proceeding and Mr. Swartz's

POLICE, ITEMS.—Officer ANDREW
MARTIN is becoming a terror to evil doers.
Almost every day for somo time past he has
been arresting some transgressor of the lex
scripta and bringing - the offenders before the
bar ofjUstice. It is a real comfort to know
that we have an officer of the law who know
ing his duty, dares to do it faithfully.
On Saturday evening last two soldiers
were accompanying Mrs. Eckels and her
daughter to their homes when they were at
tacked by some ruffians, who knocked down
one of the soldiers and attempted to rob him
of his watch.
Tho watch, which was a valuable ono, was
secured by a heavy gold chain, which resist
ed the would-be highwaymen's efforts to
tear.it loose, lung enough for the owner to
give the alarm, which brought assistance
when the rascals fled. Four young men,
whose names are as follows ; John Cramer
jr, Christian tiolabaugh, * George Dallam
and James Smith all residents of our bor
ough, have been arrested on charge of being
the guilty parties. Smith and Cramer, were
admitted to bail in the suns of $l,OOO.
On Thursday last GEOIWE HOLABAUGH,
brother of the gentleman mentioned above,
amuspd himself by shooting two of Col. W.
M. HENDERSON'S turkeys with the evident
intent of bagging the seine. Col. li. objected
to this disposition of his poultry and had
the enterprising sportsman bagged by officer
Martin.
Yesterday morning among the wee swa'
hours, John B. Noble wits attacked by three
colored men and severely beaten, after an
attempt being made to rob him. Officer Mar
tin arrested Wesley Wartield, Geo. Humbert
and John Green as the guilty parties.
On Monday night last a freight car stand
ing upon a siding on the west end of Main
street, ard containing the camp equipagc,if
a Harrisburg excursion pasty, was broken
open, and the property stolen.
SUPERIOR. SEED WII EAT.— We have
examined the specimen of the Canada White
Weat and also the lied Chaff Mediterranean
ofMred for sale by Mr. Deitz., at Chambers
burg, and we feel warranted in commending
both varieties to our farmers for seeding.—
We saw both varieties in the head, with the
straw, and found the straw perMctly clean
and free from all imperfections, while the
grain is remarkably plump and of good
color. We believe that it would be'well for
our farmers generally to try these varieties,.
and indeed any other varieties which promise
well, so that the test or experience may be
fairly made as to the variety best adapted to
our soil and climate. We are glad that Mr.
Deitz has taken the pains to inspect the dif
ferent varieties of wheat, in the fields, in the
North, and trust that much good may come
to our farmers from this effort to supply the
best seed-wheat. Samples can be seen at the
Warehouse of Mr. Woodward.

REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCHES,
Made at WALTHAM, MASS
Is TI/I4 OAST.
IT is made on the best principle. Its
frame is composed of SOLID PLATES. No jar can
interfero with the harmony of its working and no sud
den shock can damage its machinery. Every piece is
made and finished by machinery (itself famous for its
novelty, as well as for its effectiveness) and Is there•
Pro properly made. The watch is what all mechanism
should be—ACCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG AND
ECONOMICAL. Except some high grades, too costly
for general use, foreign watches are chiefly made by
women nod boys. Such watches are eompoSed of sev
eral hundred pieces, screwed and rivited together, and
require constant repairs to keep them in soy kind of
order. All persons who have carried "ancres,"*lepines"
and "English Patent Levers," are perfectly well aware
of the truth of this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise, more than ten
years ago, I t was our first object to make a thoroughly
go o d low priced watch for the million to take the place
of these foreign Impositions—the refuse of foreign fa,
torhs—whi:h were entirely unsaleable at home and
perfectly worthless everywhere.
