THE HERALD FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
We propose to furnish THE HERALD
during the present campaign, at the low
rate of THIRTY cents, or for the remain ,
der of the year 1870 at FrFTY cents. We
do this in order that our• friends may
have the advantage of a live campaign
paper, at a very low price. THE HER
ALD will contain - full information con
cerning the political affairs throughout
the State, and will, for that alone, be
worth more than the subscription price.
All the pending political issues will be
10, discussed, and no effort spared to make
it valuable as a,party organ. The pres
ent campaign will be interesting and im
portant, and the general circulation of a
well-conducted and vigorOus campaign
paper will do Much to give success to our
party in this county. We ask 'our
,•
fricints to aid us in circuilating the HER
ALD, confidently believing that they will
thus greatly contribute to the election of
our ticket.
THE SCRAMBLE, FOR THE SPOILS
The long agony is, over, Tho Demdc
- racy of this county havnthAl on the por
sons for whom their vetef;are to be cast
at the coming election. On Saturday_
last Was the grand struggle, which
brought success to a few, and disap
pointment to many. That it is over is a
matter of rejoicing to all. The nominees
are, of course, jubilant over their suc
cess. The disappointed ones know - now,
, that they must turn their attention to
some more commonplace employment,.
than
,offico holding, and, although the
certainty of this don't give theid 'much
positive pleasure, it is still preferable to
the suspense of the Canvass. The people
will give thanks`tbat they can now go
abont,their daily avocation without fear
'-that n.score of-candidates and their
henchman will be dogging their . foot
steps with threats and promises, prayers
and bribes, to secure their Rapport. .
The Deniocracy never showed any
modesty in the pursuit, of plunder.
' Their scent for office is remarkable, and
the vigor of their pursuit, indescribable.
For a Score of fears the contest betwenu
their local politicians, fur nominations
has always been ozcitiug,.and very often
diegraaeful. .But the morst of their for
' men tights liOrnno comparison to the ono
just closed. For bribery, dishonesty, de
cention, and general abandonment Of
:every consideratkin of honor, the yorst,
of their city districts could not have
made a stronger record. .
The most bittorly - -coutestod nonnna
tion was that of Congress. Mr. Halde
man, the present.inember, naturally de
sired a second term. Mr.- . Bretton, who
wandefeated two years since, - was
mined that his claims should; now be
, recognized. Between these . two -oppo
nents the fight would have heir . lively
enough, liut it was intensified by the all-,
lin:trance of Mr. Maglaughlin
teat. This' gentleman has been regarded .
for -some time as the most active and
:CoMpotent political worker' in the coml.'
ty, and he has certainly gained new lau
role. We regard his vote; things
considered; as the Mostramarkable;eVer:
Made in this county ; and one of, which;
•as a politician, he may welt be proud. '
• Two week's since Mr.. Haldothan wTs
regarded as wlthmit belie of making oven
a creditable shOw among the three., Lat
terly, however, he took the field in person,
and 'sticceeded through great effortand
'profUse expenditure.of money in placing
hiMself on fair footing`throughout the
county, except 41 the Cailisle District.
HiS opponents being conetantly . on -the
ground hero succeeded in dividing the
party between them, leaving Mr. Halde
man almost without votes. This was,,
his death-blow. Had his vote in Carlisle
District been at ann., proportion to his
vote in the other districts he would have
carried the county. He wag, 19 - 51Va 4 4r,
th 4 lowest on the list, the vote standing
Britton, 1,449 Maglaughlin, - 1;183 ;
Haldeman, 1,158. Sin brawn, how
ever, should not congratulate himself
that he has secured the non - tin:Aim
There aro many dangers ahead fin' him.
Mr. Haldeman' will not give up the con
test merely out of courtesy to the oppo
nent who defeated him here. The old
delegate system prevails . in .York and
Perry counties, and if Richard cannot
secure the conferees from those Counties
he must have lost very much of his
shrewdness, or the politicians with whom
he deals must have gained greatly in
honesty. Notwithstanding his- defeat
here on Saturday, wo predict that if a
Cumberland county man is nominated
Mr. Haldeman will be the man. If that
be so we will see whether that portion of
the Democracy that call themselves hon
est and respectable,. will quietly vote for
a man that they have constantly de
nounced as a corrupt and unscrupulous
adVenturer. It is most likely they will
do tint ; but if they do, we protest against
them ringing the charges nn Democratic
independence and Republican partizan
ship.
For Assembly Mr. Leidig was re-nom
inated, receiving 565 majority over Moser.
Ml:pis a le, illustration of the manipu-
Etioitirrl the Democracy. Mr. Leidig
richly deserved a defeiit for his vote on
the Railroad bill, and the solid men of.
the Democracy had intended that lie
should be defeated. But this was out of
the question. The trading office-hunters
of the iiarty in thiscdtinty - - -- who
control more than one-half the votes,
were bound that shouldn't 'be
done. Mr. Leidig had 'served the party
faithfully by his vote, and they wouldn't
desert him. The interests of the State
weren't any concern of theirs. Mr.
Leidig badyoted as Senator-Wallace had
told him, and this service must he requited.
Then the' two-term rule of the party
must be observed at all hazards. Thus the
men who really desired to rebuke his
action last winter hail to, give way to
those who make politics their trade, and
Mr. Leidig is again -a candidate. If the
uDeinocrats who denounced the railroad
steal - hist winter, now mean what they
said, they can do the State much service
by defeating their nominee, and may
also teach their natty leaders a valuable
lesson.
On, the nomination for Commissioner
the Court House ring won. Mr. Dietz
is the man who was:supported,,by the
Treasury clique. ills election means a
continuation of reckless expenditure, in
order that heavy levies of taxes may be
necessary,. and that a, fortune may be
made out of each Treasurer's term.: The
man who was pledged to economy, and
reduction of taxation was defeated.
Such men are not needed by the Democ
racy, here or elsewhere. •
can be beaten. There is not npan on it
who has any noticeable qualifffiation for
the office to which he aspires. .Its else
! tion will further demoralize the politics
of the comity, if such a thing is possible.
It will send a 'man to the Legislature
who voted to give away the State prop
erty for the benefit of unincorporated
railroad companies. It will give us a
Commissioner who - will aid in all the
misdeeds that are perpetrated ill that
office, and who will impose no check on
any of their extravagances. If the peo
ple desire a reformation, they must
arouse themselves, and defeat the entire
class of men Who have made this last can
vass a byword and reproach to even the
members-of their own party.
OUR DELEGATE ELECTIONS
On Saturday of this week the Repub
licans of this will elect delegates
to our County Convention, which will
meet on next Monday. We beg my:
friends to give this matter their atten
tion. We niust have a full convention.
Every town and township in the county
should be'represeuted. The best, truest,-
and most active Republicans should be
sent here as delegates. We want none
that can be manipulated in the interest
of rings and localities._ Give us men
who are ebmpetent to judge fdirly of the
merits ~of those who ask nominations
and who have manliness enough to vote
and act for the best interests of the party.
It is worse than folly to treat the corn
ingelection with indifference, or to say
that it is useless to make an effort. We
can win if we deserve it. We can only

Tdtthe Editor of the rithiburg Conthirreint
In the construction of railroads in this
country, attention seems to be almost
exclusively directed to east and west
lines. Appleton's Railway Map Of the
United States, which is good authority
Oil this , subjeet, shows an extraOrdinaty
blank in the lines miming north and
south—there being not one between Cin
cinnati and Washington City, a distance
of more than five hundred miles. Nearly
midway in this' immense gap stands the
great manufacturing city of Pittsburg,
abounding in capital, With illimitable
manufacturing facilities,' seeking cus
tomers for her fabrics, yet supinely per
mittingnear one-half oftho_surrounding
country to remain undeveloped; , and
clOsed against enriching commerce, from
the want of the modern creator of trade
and marvelous instrument of cheap in
tercourse. • As if-to invite the construc
tion of a railroad South Ward, nature has,
prOvided a water-course Of grfithi ascent,
Which has removed all the usual diffi
culties of expensive grading, which is
bordered by a broad region of fertile sail,
embosoming minerals of — more substan
tial value Min gold ; and which, after
coursing ninety miles, crosses the bound
ary of Pennsylvania, and penetrates far
into the adjoining State, whence from
its headwaters an easy passage is found
low down into the great valley of Vir
ginia.
It increases the 'Wonder that such an
immense region, so ilvorably formed
for growth in all those industrial acti vi. ties and substantial elements that build
up thexentees into which the streams of
their commerce are-attracted, should
re
main unopened -after the fact has been
made palpable that thewaybusingss of
It railroad extending into it' a few miles
from 1110 city, would make the road
handsomely remunerative, and thereaf
ter increase its returns as the line should
be extended. Such apathy to manifest
advantages cannot last - much longer.
The s.irit of an a_ e which is fa.-, -
quering the forces.' of nature to man's
use, forbids its continuance. Surround- .
ing . examples Of - energy and . enterprise
must put to shame such indifference to
a vast means of permanent growth and
prosperity so easily made available. The
Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Com
pany have the grand enterprise Woe()
them, and 'under the management of a
vigorous board of directors and officers,
there remains no question of a success
ful result. They fully appreciate its im
portance, and will nerve their efforts
with the same spirit that would animate
Cincinnati, Chicago or St. Louis, were
such a field- for the augmentation of
wealth skyead before either of those
cities.
There is another North and South
route presenting characteristics so-re
markable that it is also equally marvel-
Ous that this has not been improved ore
now. Local interests, general, interests,
manufactories, trade, commerce, travel
—in short, all the incentives which move
a fast people in a fast age, combine in
its favor, and yet the work is not done.
We allude to the natural route for a rail
way from Now York to New Orleans, by
the Cumberland Valley, that wonderful
feature in the physical structure of this
country. Commencing in New' Jersey,'
it enters Pennsylvania, bounded on the
north by the Kittatinny ' Mountain'
range, through which the Delaware
breaks above Easton, forming what •is
known as the " Water Gap." Betide
ho n, Allentown, Reading Lehrinon,
Harrisburg, Carlisle, Chambersburg, are
all in this. valley ; the Kittatinny, de
signated in many parts of it as the "Blue
-Mountain," forming the northern bound
ary at the outset, and gracefully curving
to a south-westerly direction, after los
ing its name and merging into the Alle
ghenies, it stretches through Maryland,
Virginia, Tennesee, into Alabama, where
it dwindles and finally disappears.
The southern boundaryof the valley
is at first ill-defined, and in many places
before reaching Franklin county, broken
into irregular hills, as they appear from
Lebanon, Harrisbuig and Carlisle. ,It
becomes a continuous ridge in Maryland,
taking tire same south-westerly direction
as the Kittatinny, .with which it runs'
parallel, becomes -merged in the Alleghe
nies and. Subsides in the same
, way in
Alabama, leaving between them through.
out their whole course, the broad, beau
tiful, healthy and fertile Cumberland
Valley, unobstructed by 'a single cross
ridge.or any formidable impediment to
railway construction, frcnn end to end, a
~distance of near ono thousand miles. - It
begins far eastward of the Allegheny
Mountains; throe* which, in its course,
ittpasses Whore it leaves
Pennsylvania, these mountains are west
of it—midway in Virginia it is, in their
midst--Iwhere it enters Tennessee they
rate far to Elio eastward, the highest sum
mits in the'Atlantie States being in North

position near Speicheren, reports that
several hundred of General .Frossard's
corps were taken prisoners. The French
forces engaged in the battle numbered
four divisions. General Frossard cov
ered his retreat by a heavy artillery fire
from the village of Spoicheren. In the •
engagement General Francoi fell. The'
loss of the Prussian assaulting, columns
Was very great, especially in officers;
while that of the French in rank and
Me was greater. A report has •been rb
ccived hero to the einct that Marshal
IrMalion.was wounded in the disastrous
retreat of the French army from Woer
the.
The most joyful' , manifestations of d o .
light are shown by the inhabitants over
the news of the great victories of the
Prussian armies; Crowds of people
throng the streets.
The latest official report from the
'French commanders received in Paris
was dated 'at Metz, Saturday at ono
o'clock, which says Marshal Mlfahon'
has not had time to send -a- report to
headquarters, but writes that he is still
in a good position, where he has been
'reinferted by another army corps. The
army-massed near Metz is making skillful
strategical movements, and will concen
trate at another—point -within two days.
Marshal—lnlalion further • says : Fe,
anticipate a great strategical advantage
to ho derived hem the advanmof the
enemy and his movements within our
territory.
The most violent agitation prevails in
Paris, supposed to have been caused by
thaannouncemont of .the French reverses
in the actions of the past two days. Tho
most intense pdpidar excitement is Mani
fested. The ministry have issued a proc
lamation to the people calculatedto allay
the agitation, which is profound. ,
French dispatches, dated" Metz, Sun--
day forenoon, announce that the Prus
sians have 'cut off telegraphic and rail
road communication with Marshal
M'Mahon's army. Advices, however,
have been received stating that General
Frossard is in full-retreat. RiotouS dis
turbances haVe taken place in Paris upon'
the reports of- the French :defeats - at
Foorthe and Speichoron. Tho city has,
been declared in a state of siege. The.
Corps LogislatiM and the Senate have
been convoked to assemble on Thursday.
Tho French, government publishes an
official bulletin troni Metz, dated . at that

jheir moral is excellent, and' their former
order and condition can bo 'soon, re-es
tablished. ••. •
The agitation in Paris, consequent on
the receipt of the news of the French de
feat, has already_ ceased. .
The Empress Eugene has issued the
following 'proclamation : "Our arms
have suffered a check. Citizens, let us
\i
preserve 'order. Let thorn lxi among us
but a single pal—that of France—and
but a single. flag that of the national
honor,"
General Steinthetp , telegraphs the fol
lowireparticulara of the contest between
General Von Goeben and the French
force under General Frossara : "The
fight was opened on our,side by the Four
teenth division, which was subiequently
reinforced by artillery and cavalry. A
fierce and bloody struggle raged along'
the line bebteen Saarbruck and - Ferbach,
lasting until. light: The heights -of
Spoichoren wore carried at the point of
the bayonet, and-the enemy wore thrown
back .to Forbach. Meanwhile our Fif
teenth division had advanced from Vedic
taken. Ressel, and reached For
bad' at nightfall, the broken divisions
of the Freneh army being driven upon
that point. There the baggage • and
camp equipage of two divisions and
many prisoners were taken."
Adviccs from Rome state that the
French disasters cause a prOfound ter
ror, and the 'Pope has asked pitgono
fpr just one ship to defend him from the
Italians now organizing for an attack on
the papal dominions and authority.
The London Times says : The position
of the French army surrounding Mete is
rendered exceedingly Oxpparious by rea
son of the terrible reverses to Frossard's
and M'Mahon's corps. The Crown Prince
Frederick William, with his great army
victorious in the recent encounter with
Marshal 311Iahaon's- --division-- near
Woerthp, is fiercely pursuing the de
feated French, and rapidly pressing
M'Mahon, with the intention of_ cutting
him off from communication with the
Emperor, and by a rapid movement to
prevent the reinforcement of M'Mahon,
and drive him to Nancy, thus making
Metz ,in the rear'lnd nicking a clear
way for the German army to march upon
Paris. General Von Steinmetz is pur
suing the shattered columns of General
Frossard, who has been driven from his
last defensible position, and 110 - has
only tlurojmn country before Min wherein
to oppose the Prussian foes.
Prince Frederick Charles, with the
Prussian centre, may soon be heard of
joining the other German armies to at
tack the French central position at Metz,
or the Crown Prince Frederick William
and Prince Frederic Charles may leave
it to 'Gen. Von. Steinmetz to observe the
mOvementis of the French army at Metz,
while they throw themselves upon the
Emperor's communications with the
capital, and intercept his retreat towards
Paris.

As Paul SChceppe was jointly indicted
in Berlin with his father, Rev. Fred

at Carlisle, Pa., where both resided, the
record necessarily discloses the crime
and punishment of the latter.

SCHCOPrE. FORGES AN ORDER FOR 500
Ein!ME!
Firit: On 'the nineteenth of Deceinber,
1861, in the evening between 6 and 7
o'clock,' there ' appearedlathe counting
room of the Berlin bankers; Jacquier &
Securius, who manage the money matters
of Count Blankensco, a young man,
Apparently twenty and some years old,
of a tall and lank stature and Appearance.
Ho presented an order reading literally :
" On my order, I s request the bankers,
JacqUier & Securius, to pay to Dr. Phil.
Mutius, Five Hundred Thalers. G.
Blankensee; Berlin, Dec. 19, 1861."
Both the banker, Securius, and the
cashier, Duchstein, said to the man that
they had no advice of the order, and that
they could riot pay it if not requested to
do so by the Count, either in writing or
by his porter, who was known 'to :them.
On the following day, shortly before 12
o'clock, Securius mot, while on his way
to the Exchange, the Count,s porter,
Liskow„ who told him that the payMent
should be made. ° Securius requested
LislcolOto leave his message with - the
'cashier (Dnchstein) at his counting
room, which ho did, with' the conipli
meats of the Count, that „the money
should be paid. Both Securius and
Duchstein considered the message as re
ferring to the order presented the clay
before, since. there was at that time no
other payment pending. Soon after the
porter had loft, beteeu 12 and 1 o'clock,
there appeared again the young man
who had presented the order on the day
before,
in the counting-room ' _ A who re
ceived now of Duchstein the 500 thalers
of the order in bank notes. Do wont
away after having receipted for the
money on the reverse of the order in
these words : "Five hundred tinders I
have this day received. Mutius doctor."
TUE,FOROBRy DETECTED
According to Count Blankensee's depo
sition under oath, the order was heither
drawn by nor with his knowledge
and consent. Ho did neither give nor
send to the porter the Inessage,which ho
-delivered- tty Securius. The-- student -
Schompe must be indicted to have forged
the order and to have made use of it,
either in person or in cortimunion with
another through the latter.
First—According to the agreeing opin
ion of the official judges of •handwriting
(official copies of which are appended )
who compared the order with several
pieces of handwriting acknowledged to
have been written by Sclueppe, espe
cially with a blank invitation ticket for
a court. ball, made out by him, in mere
fun, as he Says, as if directed' to the
" student of philosophy, Count do
Schompe," it is to bedffistimed with per
fect-certainty that both the order and its
signature, " G Blankensee," were writ
ten by Scho3ppe.
Second—rfhis describes at length the
adroit means adopted by Schappe to
send by Liskow the message to the bank
ers to pay the money without naming
the sum or the parties, as if referring to

and an idol ; therefore
Resolved, That we recognize in this
removal; the loss of one whose genial
temper, womanly bearing, and fidelity
to the principles of our noble order, veil

THE MP Al' 31T. 1101.1,Y.—As an
nounced in our issue of last week, the
Hop at Mt. Holly Springs mule off on
Friday night last. It was given, as the
invitations announced, by the guests at
the Springs. Thy the energy and liber
ality of a few of - our young men, a
special car' - was chartered to convey the
invited ones from Carlisle. At eight
o'clock in t,he evening, a select party as.
sembled at the Cumberland Valley depot,
where the train awaited them, and a few
minutes later, with clang of bell and
pull' of .Team, rolled noisily through
towitt - over the bridge, and out into the
moonlight country. The ride to the Gap
was most keenly enjoyed by the excur
'sionists, who were in bounding spirits
and Merry moods, determined to enjoy
all the evening's pleasures. Arriving at
the station, a short walk brought the
party to the hall; and after the necessary
and indispensable fixtures had been
_properly adjusted by the fair ones, the
party entered the hall room where 'music
was calling.
The appointments and arrangements
for the convenience and pleasure of the
guests reflect credit on the management.
The night was all that could be desired
—clear and cool for this season of the
year. At nine o'clock the string band
struck up a grand march, and the large
dining hall, us'etl as a ball -room, was -
speedily filled with fair dames and dam
sels, and their escort's. The music soon
changed to a lively air, the march ended,
and smoothly gliding couples tilled the
hall, keepii time to well executed music.
So it commenced, and all through the
'evening, while music filled the air, swiftly
moving, gracefully turning couples
pressed the floor with bounding feet.
Pleasure and keen enjoyment were visi
ble upon the'countenances of all preent,
and lively chatter and merry laugh ovi
deueed light hearts and easy consciences.
,The dressing of the ladies was in good .
este, ancl.hilceoping with the occasion ;
in.fact we have selddm witnessed such
neat and sensible toilets as Werel‘prc
sented on this occasion. The ladies,
without exception, looked remarkably
well, and the universal comment by the
gentlemen was, that thole
homely lady in the rOom. Some of the
fair sox and gallants deserve partieulfir
'netice, both on account of their appear
ance lind'dancing, but we forbear leotwo
do injustice to some by omission, and to
others by too faint praise.'
The "intermission" was a source of
refreshment and praise on all sidep, and
we can safely venture • the assertion that
it was the most popular part of the pro
gramme to heated "and thirsty dancers.
No.'ene . refused intermission, though
some ladies whose -prudent Mammas
were Present abstained from danetiV„,, , r'the
round 'iltuies with .gentlemen. The
evening passed only too quickly to. those

so pleasantly - engaged hi 'the fest ;
and at a late (early) . hoar; the, reti'l hay
