HIESTER CLYMER.
A Civil Necessity.
Office holders and those dependent up
on their smiles, affect to be nnicli embar
rassed to ascertaid which side - honor
requires them to take in the contest be
tween Radicalism and the President.
Strange that they should misunderstand
the practical workings of the maxim "to
the victors belong the spoils." Since
I SG I, the Republicans have had a just
claim to the enjoyment of office, and most
valiantly havo they asserted their right
The records show that twice as many ap
pointments were made in the civil seri-ice
under Mr. Lincoln as had been made by
all of his predecessors. Of this, Demo
te ats had no right to complain, and for five
years they have patiently "stood out in
the cold," and despite the subtle acts of a
despotic foe have gallantly maintained
their principles and their organization.
Suppose there is difficulty in deciding
which wing of the Republicans is the par
ty that triumphed in 1SC1 and 18GI, it
still does not affect the Democracy, and
c:ui in no manner entitle them to claim
the spoils of oCice.
If the President would assume to dic
tate to Congress whom they should select
to till the offices at their disposal he would
justly merit and would undoubtedly re
ceive the severest rebuke, and jet he has
precisely the same right to do this that
Congress lias to dictate to him the recipi
ents of his official favors. Upon this sub
ject the Radicals have themselves settled
the question. Who does not remember
that within a brief two years the Radical
shibboleth was, "the iuesilent is the
oovlkwient. Oppose the President and
you oppose the (Jovernment. AU
men arc traitors who do not support the
President." Such were the daily utter
ances of the shoddy loyalists ; Mr. Lin
coln himself sanctioned the doctrine, and
their whole party acted upon it. The un
lawful seizure and imprisonment of thou
sands of Democrats have indelibly impress
ed upon our minds this doctrine in all its
length and breadth. If then, Lincoln as
President was the Government, so John
son as President is the Government, and
we commend to their lips the chalice so
rudely pressed to ours.
The off ice3 are in the gift of the Exe
cutive. If he believes his policy will rc
.'tore the Union and give prosperity to the
whole people, and if he believes he can
strengthen hi cause through the offices at
his disposal, he should at once and deter
minedly use the means the Constitution
and laws have given him. Three fifths
of the Republicans are with the president,
hut through the controlling influence of
their party machinery their voice i3 stifled,
they are induced to be silent by the false
assurance that all will yet bo well ; that"
the difference will yet be healed. They
forgot that Andrew Johnson proclaimed
from tho step3 of the Presidential mansion,
that these men "auk tkaitoks." The
hour for fraternization has past, the breach
is irreparable, the seperation is final.
Upon the question of re-construction
the D emocracy in solid phalanx are sup
porting the policy of the President. They
seek none of the offices. They have no
just claim to them. They regard the con
test as one of principle one of greater
importance was never submitted to the
American people. Its defeat will forever
sink tle last hope of our free institutions,
its triumph will make a glorious future
possible for our noble country.
Tho influence of office holders for good
is but slight; for evil they may be all
powerful. As supporters of a measure
they weigh bat little ; a3 itsopposcrs they
are always felt. In a close contest, their
opposition may turn the scale. In a dead
ly struggle with "traitors," can it be that
the President will permit his office holders
to range themselves under tho banner of
treason and throw into the breach against
him the inlluenco and position they hold
at his pleasure! Measuring the vigor of
the foe and the magnitude of the isauc, 13
it not plainly his duty to use with unspa
ring hand every means that the Constitu
tion and laws have cast upon him.
Under the sway of the Radicals, "Mu.
itaky Necessity" was held to justify any
notation of the Constitution and laws, aud
now we hold th;t "Civir. Necessity " en
joins the vigorous use of every means that
are vetted in the Executive under the
plain terms of the organic and statute
laws. The union of the States is the life
of the nation. Let the law of the land
be wielded to preserve that life. The foe
is a-dangerous one and must be vanquish
ed. The disease is desperate and efficient
remedies must be resorted to. Halting
measures will not answer. A clean sweep
must be made. Pretended support of the
President will not do. Works must show
the faith of these gntlemcn. They can
not support Johnson and Stevens, they
must love the one and hate the other.
They must support the President's policy,
they must speak favorably of it, they
must support those who support it and
oppose those who oppose it. Determined,
prompt and energetic action on the part
of the Executive, is vitally essential. . .lie
can afford to be bold in sustaining the
ritrht.
Congress Our Candidate.
In a contest where the issues are so im
portant, it behooves the Democratic party,
morehan at any other time, to act patriot
ically in making nominations. "Good
men and true" is the first desideratum ;
men who can command the whole party
vote, is tho second. This second, in a
District like ours, is of vital importance.
Let us hope therefore, that the party, in
its primary elections and county conven
tions will act wisely in this matter, and,
that a candidate may be nominated who
will be acceptable alike in all parts of the
District. If this shall be done, then our
triumph, we believe, will be certain.
The above from the Lewistown True
Damoerat is well timed and meets our full
est approbation. We cannot afford to run
a weak candidate; and the same prudence
which, two years ago, gave us a candi
date who ran ahead of his ticket even
ahead of the gallant McCIlellan should
actuate the coming Conference. Then,
our candidate had 270 majority on the
home vote, and was legally elected; al
though he had to contend against enroll
ing officers, military arrests, and general
terrorism. Now, he can be re-elected if
nominated; and whether he be or not we
believe any good Democrat, possessing the
confidence of the Democratic masses can
be elected. Such a man every "true Dem
ocrat" could endorse and hi3 election
would be rendered certain.
The Two Pictures. It may interest
many persons to view again the linea
ments of their favorite military chieftains
within a political frame :
117 the President. Gen. Grant, Gen.
Sherman, Gen. Meade, Gen. Hancock,
Gen. Crawford, Gen. Sheridan, Col.
Coulter.
With Tltad Stevens. "Gen." Butler,
"Gen." Sigel, "Gen." Schurz, "Gen."
Schenck, "Gen." Cameron, "Col." For
ney, "Gen." Geary.
The military trappings straps, buttons,
eagles, &C-, are equal, it will be per
ceived, but there is a vast difference in
the color of the exploits.
C3"In the days of Andrew Jackson,
his Postmaster Gen. Amos Kendall wan
ting to know whereabouts was the source
of the Tombigbee river, wrote for the re
quired information to the postmaster of a
village on its course. "Sir," wrote the
higher officer to the lower, "this depart
ment desires to know how far the Tom
bigbee river runs up. Respectfully, &c."
The reply was brief, and read thus:
"Sir : The Tombigbee river doesn't run
up at all : it runs down. Very respect
fully, &c." The Postmaster General
continued the correspondence in this style :
"Sir, your appointment as postmaster at
is revoked. You will turn over the
funds, papers, &c, pertaining to your of
fice, ' ,to your successor. Respectfully,
&c. ,- The doll understrapper closed the
correspondence with this parting shot :
"Sir : The revenues for this office for
the quarter ending Sep. SO, have been
do cents ; its expenditures, same period
for tallow candles and twine, was 1.50.
I trust my successor is instructed to ad
just the balance due to me. Most respect
fully." We see it stated that Mr. Stanton thinks
there will be another war. It is no fault
of his that the old one is not still upon us,
and if we have a new one, wc must thank
his friends in Congress for it.

The Disinterested Patriot.
Every once in a while the great Amer
ican Toady, John W. Forney, speaks of
the party which supports the President as
made of "hirelings," a word which he
borrows from the vocabulary of his late
Southern masters. The public may like
to know how purely disinterested Forney
is, and has been, in support of the Repub
lican party how much self-sacrifice he
displays in the premises, in fact.
Firstly, then, there is John W. Forney,
the dead duck in propria persona, Clerk of
the Senate, at S'3,500 a year and stealing.
Secondly. There is I). C. Forney, pub
lisher of the Cironicle, cousin of the dead
duck's, in pay of the Senate, drawing a
salary of about two thousand dollars a
year for work which he never performs
a clear swindle.
Thirdly. There is another Forney, a
brother of the duck's, mail agent between
here and Philadelphia.
Fourthly. There is another brother mail
agent on the Pennsylvania Central Road.
Fifthly. There is a junior Forney, who
all through the war was a stafT officer, on
duty in Philadelphia.
Sixthly. There is another son of the
dead duck's who, early in the war, got a
commission in the navy, under a solemn
covenant never to be sent to sea, nor ex
posed to the rude fire of rebel guns and
lie never was.
Seventhly. Forney is carried about the
city of Washington iu a vehicle owned by
the Government, drawn by a horse own
ed by tho Government, and driven by a
man paid as a laborer in the Capitol
grounds. All of which may be strictly
patriotic, but not legal.
Eighthly. Forney has for a private ser
vant a man who is paid as a laborer for
the Senate, which is contrary to the law
in such cases made and provided.
Ninthly. Forney gets the Chronicle edit
ed by men who arc paid as clerks of the
Senate, which may be patriotism, but looks
like swindling.
Tenthly. Forney will employ nobody
as clerk or messenger, in the Senate, who
will not help to edit either the Chronicle or
the Press, which is good economy but bad
morals in the dead duck.
Eleventhly. Forney wrote a begging
letter to the President about six mouths
ago. The President did not grant the
prayer of the petitioner, and the Chronicle
immediately came out against Andrew
Johnson and his policy. Which may be
disinterested, but doesn't look that way;
looks rather like an unsuccessful attempt
to
Crook the pregnant hinges of the knee.
When thrift may follow Favcney.
What a self-sacrificing patriot he is, to
be sure ! '
Mysterious Akkaik in Westmoreland
Co. We learn from the Greensburg
Democrat, that the dead body of a citizen
of Cook township, Westmoreland county,
was found on Tuesday evening last, under
circumstances which lead to the belief that
a most foul murder had been committed.
The name of the man is John Shale.
He left his house on the morning of Tues
day, for the stated purpose of looking at
his fields, aud not Returning for dinner or
supper, this prolosed absence caused his
family such uneasiness that some of them
started in search of him. They discov
ered his dead body, and upon examination
found a bullet hole m his head, the ap
parent cause of death. No weapon was
found near him, so that the idea of suicide
is not entertained. Great excitement ex
ists in, the neighborhood, and the affair is
shrouded in mystery. Mr. Shale was a
well-to-do farmer, about forty five years
of age, and highly respected in the neigh
borhood where he resides.
C5T In Webster, Massachusetts, recent
ly, some young men placed two small
brown snakes in a kind of fancy paper
basket, filled the opening with flowers so
that the reptiles could not crawl out, and
hung the device uron the door knob of a
house where some young ladies were board
ing. The basket and contents chanced to
be found first by the most timid of the
young ladies, who, upon withdrawing the
flowers, and seeing the serpent crawl out
upon the table, was so much alarmed that
she fell in spasms, and is still in a very
weak aud nervous condition.
C3" A fierce and bloody fight took place
recently at Alexandria, Mo., just below
Keokuk Iowa, between two farmers named
Miller and Ileacock, resulting in the in
stant death of the former and the mortal
wounding of the latter. A feud had ex
isted between them for many years. At
the time named they met at a store and
had a few words. Pistols were drawn
and half a dozen shots were exchanged,
resulting as stated above. Doth have
large families.
Northampton County. The Easton
Sentinel says : A young man named M.
Gradwohl, wa3 almost instantly killed, on
Thursday last, by a tree falling on him on
the farm of Mr. Cyrus La wall, near Heck
town, Lower Nazareth township. Grad
wohl, along with several other men, was
engaged in felling a very large tree, which
fell unexpectedly, and striking this young
man, broke both his legs and injured him
so severely internally that he died in a
few minutes.
Geary Repudiated by the Soldiers in
his own County.
In pursuance of the call of General
Hartranft, a large and enthusiastic meet
ing of honorably discharged soldiers con
vened in. Rheem's Hall, Carlisle, at the
appointed hour on Monday, 28th. Near
ly eve.ry borough and township in the coun
ty was represented during the session of
the Convention.
A temporary organization was effected
by calling Capt. E. Beatty, of Carlisle, to
the chair, and selecting Capt. John D.
Adair as Secretary.
The following permanent officers were
then elected :
Ih-estdent Capt. Jacob Dorsheimer, of
Mechanicsburg.
Vice Presidents Capt. Alex S. Wood
burn, of Newton : T. F. Singiser, of
Mechanicsburg, and Captain E. lieatty,
of Carlisle.
Secretaries Capt. Isaiah II. Graham,
of South Middleton, and Captain Edgar
Lee, of Carlisle.
Tho object of the meeting, as contained
in the published call, was then stated by
the President. . On motion of Captain
Waggoner, it was then resolved that the
Convention proceed to elect five delegates
to represent Cumberland county in the
Convention to be held at Pittsburg. The
following gentlemen were then elected,
with slight opposition from a few of Thad.
Stevens radicals who were then in the Con
vention the vote standing about one hun
dred and thirty-three to twenty. The del
egates are : Capt. Alex, S. Woodburn,
of Newton : Capt. S. C. Wagner, of New
ville , Capt. W. P. Loyd, of Lower All
en, Capt. J. A. Graham, of South Mid
dleton. Here Captain Edgar Lee addressed the
meeting and declared that if it was the
object of the Convention to endorse An
drew Johnson, he wished it distinctly un
derstood that he was opposed to Johnson's
policy and wished to withdraw from the
Convention. Captain lieatty and two or
three others made similar remarks and al
so withdrew.
The fallowing resolutions were then of
fered br Captain Loyd and unanimously
adopted :
"We, the soldiers of Cumberland coun
ty, who took part in the war for the Un
ion, being this day assembled in Conven
tion, under the call of Major General
Hartranft, do hereby declare to our fellow
citizens our sentiments:
"Resolved, That having fought for the
Union, and assisted in restoring the na
tional authority throughout the land, we are
unalterably opposed to the radical revolu
tionists in Congress, who are attempting
to do what the rebels failed to do sub
vert our free institutions and destroy the
Union.
"Resolved, That the rebellion being
crushed and its armies dispersed, the peo
ple of the Southern States should be im
mediately restored to their rights in the
Union, and loyal representatives should be
admitted to Congress ; and we declare the
late action of Congress, excluding those
States for four years from representation,
and at the same time making them subject
to taxation, to be unjust and tyrannical.
i(Resolved, That this Government was
made for white men, and should be so per
petuated ; and we are therefore opposed to
ncjrro suffrage, and will sustain no candi
date for office who will not avow himself
unequivocally opposed to negro suffrage
and negro equality.
'Resolved, That we will sustain no
party which seeks to detract from the
honor justly due to white soldiers, of con
quering the rebellion and saving the Un
ion, by declaring that without the assis
tance of the negro, the cause would have
been lost, and that the negro bears the
palm.
"Resolved, That we are in favor of the
equalization of the bounties of soldiers and
sailors who fought in the war for the Un
ion ; and we urge upon Congress speedy
legislation to effect this object.
"Resolved, That we stand by Andrew
Johnson in his noble efforts to defeat the
bold bad men who stand in the way of
the restoration of the States to their full
Constitutional rights, and that we believe
that in his magnanimous policy is only to
be found a sure road to a restoration of a
union of hearts, and union of States and
peace and prosperity to the land.
''Resolved, That we believe that lion.
Ilicster Clymer, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, holds upon
all the great principles political views simi
lar to our own, and is a firm snpporter of
President Johnson, and therefore will sup
port him with our voices and votes."
Lehigh County. The Allentown
A'fjfssays : On Friday last, Emma Coyle,
a seven year old daughter of Mr. Coyle,
keeper of a boarding shanty at the second
lock thi3 side of Catasauqua, was found
to bo missing. The entire neighborhood
was searched, but without success. Sus
picioning that the child might have fallen
into the canal, the level was drawn olF on
Saturday night and early on Sunday mor
ning tho remains of the missing child was
found.
The widow of the late Henry II. loo
dy, of Portland, Me., left by her will the
sum of $14,500 to be devoted to the char

ges, with which her husband was connected.
The Fenian War.
The public mind has been greatly exci
ted during the last few days by the out-
break of a new war on the Canadian bor
der. A portion of the Fenians, endowed
with more courage and earnestness than
judgement or discretion, marched across
the line at the Niagara river, look possess
ion of Fort Erie, and fought the initial
battle of Irish independence.
It appears that the process of concen
trating arms on the border has been in
progress for some time, and in the past
week Fenians in small bodies have been
moving northward. On Friday, June 1,
a small body, under command of Col.
O'Neil, of the 13th regiment, of Nash
ville, moved across Niagra river and took
possession of Fort Erie, a small town on
the Canadian side. The railroad was
torn up and telegraph wires cut.
The Canadian militia were called out.
AU the United States troops in Gen.
Meade's department are under arms, for
use of emergency. It is said that 850,-
000 rounds of ammunition have been sent
by the Fenians from New York, and
000,000 from Chicago, to the frontier
within a few weeks.
The United States steamer Michigan is
patrolling the river from Black Rock to
the head of Grand Island, with two arm
ed tugs, with orders to sink anything
crossing during the night.
The following is the account of the
fight by a Captain in the Queen's Own.
1 Ie says :
The force left the train at half past six
a. m., Major lilmore in command of the
Queen's Own, Colonel Booker, of the
Thirteenth Battalion Hamilton Infantry.
The force got off the cars at the rail
way and marched about two miles from
that place. The Queen's Own extended
five companies as supports, and the action
commenced by the Fenian outposts firing
upon the men deployed as skirmishers, and
the enemy were posted on rising timbered
ground on both sides of the road, behind
which in the woods were their intrench
ments. They took advantage of their
knowledge of the ground to draw us into
their fire. Our forces had to cross the
fields in the face of a very sharp fire, and
we were allowed to drive them in about
half a mile, when we were completely in
closed within their lines. We advanced
nearly to their intrenchments, when our
ammunition gave out, for want of which
we were compelled to retire.
In endeavoring to stop the retreat, I
was knocked over and trampled on, and
considerably bruised. The farmers in the
neighborhood refused to allow their teams
and wagons tabling off the wounded. In
my estimation about twenty were killed.
Of the wounded twenty-eight are here, at
St. Catherine?, thirty or so left at Port
Colborne, and twenty-five or thereabouts
in the hands of the Fenians. The fight,
I should judge, lasted two hours and a
half. All the accounts show that there
has been a stupendous and terrible blunder
somewhere, but it is not equally clear who
is to blame.
It is asserted that the Hamilton men
behaved badly in this affair, but there are
so mauy contradictory reports that is im
possible to arrive at the truth.
Dispatches, dated at St. Albans, Vt.,
June 10'h., announces the final collapse
of the Fenian invasion of Canada. The
right wing of their army retreated from
Pidgeon Hill to St. Albans, and the men
are preparing to go home. The demoral
ization of tho whole army is complete,
and both officers and men have refused
further duty. Desertions occurred by the
wholesale, and after a council of wrar Gen
eral Spear ordered a retreat to St. Albans.
Reinforcements, arms and ammunition
failed to reach them, and their ammuni
tion was carried to Vermont and stored in
a barn near the line, where it will doubt
less be seized by the United States troops
who are marching to the border. Con
siderable plunder was carried oft by tho
Fenians. General Spear said he would
rather be shot than leave Canada in the
manner he has. General Meehan wept
bitterly. Any Fenians who have not the
means to go home will be furnished trans
portations by the United States govern
ment, and many will avail themselves of
this opportunity to leave to-night.
The cholera still continues at tho New
York quarantine. Five deaths occurred
on the Gth, and eighty-seven cases remain
under treatment. The cases from the Pe
ruvian are more fatal than those from
other vessels. Sequin's Point has been
taken possession of by the New York
Board of Health as a sanitary station,
and accommodations will be provided lor
ten thousand persons. This will enable
the physicians to seperate the sick from
the healthy passengers, and thus prevent
a rapid spread of the pestilence. During
the present week it is expected that all
the cholera patients will be removed from
the hospital ships to shore buildings. No
new cases have occurred in the city of
New York, and tho partial panic, occa
sioned by the first appearance of the mal
ady, has subsided. The advent of hot
weather in this city should impart addi
tional industry to our health officials in
order that we may be prepared for any
contingency. PhilailtljJiia Age.
