C IREAT MISTAKES.—Aose who k now
Asa Packer will be astonished to learn
that he is a " sound lawyer." At least,
as such they are attempting to palm
him off in some parts of the State. Ire
is a good business man, but never pro
fessed to be a lawyer. His Judgeship
arose from his being for a time an " or
namental" or side judge in great Car
bon county
The cops also: talk
_about " Judge
Pershing," .which is also a misuother.
He is no Judge—is only trying to be
one. - He is a fair lawyer—perhaps, in
deed, the best in the magnitieent eoun
ty of Cambria!
On the other hand,•Gov. Geary has
administered the law—not as a Judge,
by name, but in fact—in Cal itbruia, in
Iteboldom, and as Governor of Penn
sylvania. In civil as well as in mili
tary_ experience, he is very decidedly
the superior of "Mr. Packer. In the
" heft'? of his money bags, only, does
Asa excel John W.
And Henry - W. Williams is every
inch a Judge, having administered the
law, with distinguished honor, in Al
legheny county, anti is now on the Su
preme Bench in Pennsylvania, where
he was legally elected two years ago,
but was kept out by Wallace's coffee

While Geary was standing up for fair
play in Kansas, Packer was supporting
Buchanan and the Border Ruffians who
sought to defile that territory with the
curse of Slavery. The Republicans re
member Geary, and the Democrats re
member Packer. Beth are duly grate
ful.
The Boston Advertiser shrewdly and
wittily says : "The issue in the Poll ti
catcontest in Pennsyliiinia the coming
fall is one of dollars and sense. The
Democrats have the dollars and the Re
publicans the sense." Perhaps thellos- .
ton papers ought not to interfere in
Pennsylvania politics, howpver. Pack
er is a Connecticut carpet-bagger, you
know.
The Democracy now swear Olaf Asa
Packer came fofward liberally with his
cash to aid the Government to prose
cute the war. Well, if that be• true,
(which we deny) the Democracy have
nominated " a bloated bondhonder."—
Goodness gracious ! They will be nom

Asa Packer was, we believe, a iidele
gate to the Charleston Convention in
164. He voted' solid for Breckhiridge.
He was not even a Douglas democrat.
Another reason more why he should
have been nominated by the Copper
heads; and there are the twenty
million dollars reasons, you know.—
That's twenty million and one reasons.
Geary can't beat that.

lager.beer shops, or slops. 'Whoever it

SPEAR, BOSE t
Every boy has tried his hand at mak
ing a dog perform. `` Spealc!",__Lie
down and roll over !" '' Sit up !" "
Dead !"—and similar commands to dogs
must be tolerably familiar to most boys.
And there are not many boys who do
not knoiv that dogs somewhat resemble
human beings. For example—a- dog
may be trained to do all above com
manded, but not 'without reward.—
"Bose" will notlearn to "speak" unless
you suspend a piece of meat, or bread,
above his muzzle, which morael the dog
expects to drop into his mouth as a re
ward. For a small piece of meat, Bose
.will "whisper." A little bigger piece
will provoke an audible bark. A big,
' juicy piece, will incite a series of short,
sharp yells and great activity. The
The same sort ofbribe will induce a
tr
very small dog to 1 e down and roll-over
in a very dirty place. The big dog,
with more dignity," t -Will lie down and
roll over, ;but not inia- dirty place. He
will, if possible, have a Brussels carpet
between his broadcloth and the mud. .
Now, we don't intend an odious com
parison ; but who can refuse to notice
things manifestly out of the ordinary
_souse. We remember something ahout
the last gubernatorial campaign, w4en
Hiester Clymer was the Democratic can
didate. The leaders fought well for Mr.
Clymer, but they did not set in so eahy
nor so sharp as they at'g doing for Am
Packer. We are almost persuaded to
say that the sum of good things said for
Asa Packer up to this date, equal, if they
do not exceed, the sum of good things
said for Hiester Clymer during the en
tire campaign of 1860. On the other
hand more very bitter things have been
written and said against Gen. Geary up
to this date, then were witten and Said
during that first campaign.
Casting about for a reason we did not
find reasons as plenty as blackberries,
but found one which rather accounts
for the difference above mentioned. If
Mr. Packer Pets more compliratnts than
Mr. Clymer did, it is also true that Mr.
Packer's milieus nearly equal Mr, Cly
mer's 'thousands. The latter did not
propose to fling a million of dollars into
the arena, and probably did not, out of
his own purse, expend two thousand.—
Andrew Johnson's office holders fur
nished most of the cash for the Clymer
campaign, but not a million, perhaps.
And there were many middle-men who
bandied the funds, at that, in whose
fingers some dollars must have stuck.—
tio,•while Mr. Clymer bad warm sup- I
port, it was not actually redhot.
But now, A. D., 1869, three years la
ter, comes Am Packer, the man of
; able to pay down $100,060 for the
nomination--'-and the fact is' charged
boldly by the Philadelphia' papers—a
man made rich by ;the possession of
monopoly. No sooner does he 'appear
as the Candidate, than behold every
Democratic leader, little and laro, and
every drummer and fifer of that organ
ization, flings his cap in air ! Ho is not
young, he Is not much above common
place, but he was with his party . soul,
and mind during the 'war of, the. rebel
lion ; but better than all, more than par
ty fealty, more than patriotism and
,brains—Mr. Packer is illimitably rich!
Mr. Clymer could fling but a spare bone
tb the dogs, and the dogs only "whis
pered," or "spoke'? in half audible
tones, nor once "rolled over." Mr.
Packer flings down his Million—a big
piece of meat—and straightway the
whole pack is in full cry. 'hie scent is
strong, and the pack lays, doWn to it with
a vigor unsurpassed. Hundreds of them
have already rolled over and over, and
the original dirt is obliterated. Lisp a
word,'good-n atU red though i t be, l •agai nst
the immaculateness of Mr. Packer, and
pack rend the air with indignant
eri6.
Al), well ; in the lino of duty it he
comes necessary to ventilate the record
of this Democratic Dives during the
times when men were either wholly for
the republieor wholly against it. Mr.
"Packer has been seldom active at any
thing but business. But we assert with
out fear o uccessful contradiction that
from the hour when ho voted for Breck
enridge at Charleston in 1860, to the
present hour, Asa Packer has been in
full communion with the Frank Hughes
and W. A. Wallace Democracy. Dur
ing the war he was in full sympathy
with every movement of his party to
hinder the Government in it efforts to
prosecute the war successfully. He con
curred with Buchanan and Jerry Black
in the opinion that the Government
could not coerce the South into obedi
ence. In evidence of, this •we submit
the fact that Woodward presented his
name last year at the famous Tammany
Convention, as a candidate for the Pres
idency, recommending him as a Simon
Purk).Democrat, whose record could not
offend the South.
Judge Woodward was right. There is
not a line of Asa Packer's record as a
politician which could offend the most
factious rebel in the South. Even
3efferson Davis would not object to him;
on the contrary who does not know that
every unreconstructed rebel, south or
north is opposed to the election of Geary
and in favor of Packer. When the time
comes we shall be able to show that the
mosr prominent supporters of Packer in
Tioga County were as thorough traitors
as Jefferson Davis himself.
Friends—it is the same old right.—
Beelzebub opened the quarrel ages ago,
and bequeathed the work to his off
spring, the Democratic 19ders. A
gainst all manner of tricks and chican
ery, against money and a traitorous foe
the Republicans of Pennsylvania have
to make the battle. As for us, we par
take ono mans fears while wo ohpao
the common anxiety. A millien of
money may do many things, but we do
not for a moment believe that it can
corrupt the intelligent voters of this
Commonwealth.
The Public Debt Statement for July,
made Aug. 1, by Secretary Boutwell,
shows a reduction of the debt during
the month of July of $7,435,749,29
making the total reduction since Grant
assumed the reins, $43,806,523,72. This
averages rather more than $8,000,000 per
month, so far. We congratulate the
people . upon the inauguration of the era
of economy. if you watt to endorse
Grant and official honesty vote for
Geary and Williams. If you want to
rebuke official integrity work for Asa
Packer.
en Geary was leading a, division
against armed Democrats in the South
west, in 18(14, Packer was endorsing the
" Peace at any price" platform upon
which McClellan was placed at Chicago.
The difference between their attitudes
toward rebels may be stated thus : Geary
was for peace on terms involving the
surrender of the rebels to the Govern
ment. Parker was for peace on terms
involving the surrender of the Govern
ment to the rebels. Some people can
see a difference in the positirs of the
two. We can see the difference. So
did Jeff Davis, at the time.

Wo aro obliged to Mr. Close for his report—the

"though there are
supposed to be three factories beside within a

that more cheese is making this year than in any
former year. Tho Round Top factory is making
a third more than last year. All the factories
sell as fast as made. arid without transportation.
Mr. J. P. Huling, Route Agent from
Lock Haven to St. Mary's, having been
rerrißved, and Capt. Henry Porter hav
ing Peen deputed to fill the vacancy, a
daily paper in Lock Haveri made a vi
olent attack upon Hon. W. H. Arm
strong, charging him with the removal
and appointment. The Williamsport
Bulletin, copied the article with more
haste than. discretion. This brought
Mr. Armstrong out with the statement
that he " did not ask for the removal of
Mr. Hiding, nor did I know of it until
after it was done; nor did I ask for the
appointment of Capt. Porter, nor did I
know of it until after his appointment.'
Mr: Armstrong goes on to say that on
the 23d of Jply he received a letter from
the P. 0. D., with lamination that cer
tain registered letters having disap
peared on Mr. Huling's route, a special
agent had worked the case up and re.
commented the removal of. Mr.' l
Rot Agent.
we suppose that the Bulletin will
have dignity and candor enough to
apologize.

The Normal yearis divided intOteree
terms of fourteen weeks each. The ex-,
penses, including boarding,. tuition,
room'- rent, bOok rent, washing, fuel
and oil for the Fall term,'le $30.1 for the
Winter term, $64; for the Spring term,
$6O.
The tuition and book rent without
board is $lO per term.
The State appropriations are as fol
lows : Pupils who design to, teach, $7
per term; pupils who were wounded in
the war, or lost their fathers in the
war, receive $l4 per term ; $5O addition
al is given to all who .'complete the
course of study and agree to i,teach , tivo
full annual terms;. an annual term,
must be at least four months. Thus,
it will be seen that pupils who remain
two years and graduate, receive their
tuition and book-rent free, and $3.00
additional.
The " Normal" building has been put
in good repair during the present vaca
tion ; new bedding is now being put
into the rooms; a large number of
rooms have been repaired, and every
thing arranged for the comfort of stu
dents. The roones are being taken
quite rapidly; a few vacancies now ex
