General johnlXT.._pery—Uis Position
- , in History, - '
In rending "Shermat's,Marelt - to the
Sea," the following allusions to the Re
publican. candidate for Governor are
worthy of now. the - writer being a
New Yorker, and eodespowlent or the
krahl, cannot well he suspected of
partiality to a Pennsylvanian,-and par
ticularly to one of Gen. Geary's politi
cal eonneetiOnfi.
Speaking of Gen. Logan, iii says:
" there:ire men who are soldiers by
inspiration. Logan is Piati '
Geary, too,
was.a civilian general, and won mine
and' reputation upon field after- field— '
upon the bloody crest of Lookout -
Mountain, upon the rugged elidei - of
Creek—through every, battle that
many a trained West Point veteran
should feel proudlof. - Of civiiiltn sol
diers, he and Logan stand amid t to fore
most."
Again, in one of t :the skirmishes—
more properly- battles—around Dallas
and Allatoona, the rebels made fierce
attack. on Lien. Williams' division,
which was barely able to 1101(1 its posi
tion, the ammunition being nearly ex
hausted and the troops wavering, when
" ( - Wary's White Star Division" !Primed
in three linen, and - advanced to the sulk
port. Geary reserved his fire until close
upon the enemy, and then poured a
deadly volley hit° them which made
them waver.
Mountain,
during
Kenesaw anti
during three days' fighting, "tre cap
tured a large number of prisoners ' in

assault, captured about ODe half of

in the ItistJaittle, before Atlanta was
surrendered, " the first .of Flood's des
perate assaidls, for which he paid dear

tive part.
When at the close of 1-311(qm:in's

answered "that he had plenty of blip

long as he chose. Only three nights af

ways wide awake, suspecting the move
inent,*ordered his division under arms
and advanced his pickets. Pushing on
further without opposition, crawling
through the- alarttis and floundering
through dikes and ditches, he scaled
the tlist line of works and found it de
serted. rfere lie was met by the mayor
and citizens, who formally surrendered
the city. As he 10n1 fairly earned, he

ure the respect and affection of -all who
knew him. He was about forty,Years
old.
It was General Cox, we believe, who
wanted lobe Geary's Adjutant General,
not long ago. As he consents to be the
tail o ho Copperhead Kite, we, pre
sume he goes not expect to get the ap
pointmen from Geary. Has it been
promised ina by Packer ?
Senator FEssENDEN, of Maine, died
at his residence in Portland on Wednes
day, Bth inst., in the'63d year of his
age. In his death the country loses one
of the few public men who will becemo
historical as statesmen. Though not
an orator, his influence in the Senate
was greater than that of any man since
Calhoun. He was holiest and incor
ruptible, a faithful friend and an un
relenting foe.
We reiterate—the plan of the leaders
of the Donaldson bolt—and they are all
Democrats—is to trade off .Democratio'
votes for Donaldson for Republican
votes for Packer. Hundreds of such
offers have been made already by both
sides. However,ssince the Democracy
made no nomination for Prothonotory,
who can they vote lOr except it be tor
Donaldson ? Howlmany Democrats,
think. you, will vote ifor Tabor?
•
A frightful accitnt occurred on M
d en
ay, 6th inst., at ) Iy, l mouth Coal mines,
below Wilkesherre. The timbers of
the shaft took tire at the bottom of the
mine, involving the destruction of the
coal breakers at thet.op and the death
of probably 110 men and boys at work
in the mine. The condition'of the mine
was such that it was impossible to visit
it until 'Wednesday, Sth lost., when all
were foUnd dead—suffocated by the foul
air. Over COOividows and orplialus are
added to the list by this fearful
crialurtiikr.
What, are i\Fr. Donaldson';; grievan
ces? Of what does he complain? Is
it of the people, who, after giving him
the best office in the county for a term
of thirty , four years, by an unanimous
vote of Their seventy-two delegates in
Convention assembled now give the,
candidacy to Leroy Tabor? Was not
the arbitrament of his own choosing?
Did he not, elect to submit himself to
the Republican Convention ? By his
own pledge he had no appeal. Yet he
appeals. From what, and to what ?
From the decision of the Republican
Convention, to " the voters of Tioga
county."
Let us' see : When Mr. Donaldson
violates his pledged word he becomes
fair subject of criticism. His adherents
say that lie is poor and advanced in
years. If he be poor it is no fault of the
people. From an examination of the
records it appears .that the income of
his office-has averaged about $2OOO per
year for the last thirty years. For the
last ten years the average income reach
ed, probably exceeded, $3OOO per year.
Thiel estimate is based upon the docket
entries for the last thirty years. It is
not so easy to estimate the fees from
Quarter Seksions and Oyer and Termin
er business, )(or such a thing as book
keeping is u iknown in the Prothono
tary's Office of Tioga County, though
the law requires a strict account of all
moneys received to be kept. For the
same reason it , is not easy - to estimate the
Miscellaneou,s' fees. In making up the
aggregate income .of the office, there
fore, we have endeavored to get near the
the minimum, rather than the m aximu En
receipts from these sources, and the esti
mate is pronounced fair to Mr. Donald
son by men familiar with the business
of the office. And this estimate Is cli
c/I/sive of the State Tax on writs, &c.
To the poverty argument we regard
this a fair reply. Certainly Mr. Don
aldson's income from the office has
been greater, on the average, for thirty
years, than that of many of our wealth
iest men, whose liberality, with their
own funds, has not . been second to his.
To the allegation that Mr. Donaldson
has done much business without cost to
the people, we oppose the fact that, if
the allegation be true, ho has given the
people moneys which 'belonged neither
to him, nor to them,.but to the Com
mon.wealth. He is a public officer, re
quired by law to keep a daily decount
of the buainess of his office, and te
make quarterly returns of fill the earn
ings of the same, to the Auditor Gen
eral. If any man justify the practice
of disbursing State moneys in the man
ner alluded to, he may have the infamy
of it. Mark, however, we do not charge
"Mr. Donaldson with doing business for
nothing, involving, as it would, embez
zlement of public funds.
But Mr. Donaldson, we are constantly
told, • feels himself constrained to run
" to vindicate -himself." How vindi
cate himself His claim to the office?
No --not thUe; but to vindicate, or de
fend hirnse f against the charge that he
is a default r to the State. Very well ;
since he thrift to vindicate himself in
that respect, he Invites an appeal to the
record; and as an cAlxibit of his stand-
lug as tt public officer in 'Harrisburg,
we submit the following communica
tion from the Office of. the Auditor
General, the original of which IS in 'our
hands:
Atiorrott OPNERAL'S OFFICK,

B. C. WALLET—Dear Sir: Yours of the 211 lost.. vcs
r e ply would state—that the indebtedness
of John P. liedialdson Prothonotary of your county,
to the C.ornmontresith l or - Pentea, up to November 39,

November 80, 1867, was placed in the bands of the At
torney General for collection on the 35th day of May,
1869, and on the 23.1 day of Juno,lBo, ho paid on that
account $O3O. After crediting him with said $O3O,
still leaves a balance eine the Commonwealth of $1021,12
—not including what he has collected since December
160868, up to thq present time. The law requires him
to make quartaely reportenna payments, which be has
not dono r I incldsu you vpy of the law. Mr. Donald
son's /mecum* Juts beau pined in the Attorney 0 eliel•
al's hands, for collection seven limes, which certainly
does notispeak very wall him as an °Ulcer.
Respectfully Yours,
'
Jour A. Wsooomtia,
Clerk.
ObsLve, if you please, four points
in the foregoing letter : Mr. Donald
son's account for 1867 was not paid
until Juno 23, 1869, and then. at the in
vitation of the Attorney General of the
Corn mon weal ti ? . Second—That so late
as the 25th of August 1869, he owed
the state $1024,12; which sum pertains
to the year . 1868—last year. Third
-That Mr. Donaldson's accounts have
been placed in the hands of the At
torney General seven times'. Fourth—
That Mr. Donaldson has made no re
turns dr payments of moneys received
for the last nine months. We now ask
your attention to the following section
of the Act of 13th April 1859, (Pardon
eattion of 1862, P. 824 34-5):
' "That the'several.Registers of. Wills, Recorders
of Deeds, Prothonotaries, Clerks of Quarter
Sessions and Clerks of Orphans' Courts in the
Commonwealth, shall, on the first; day of June
next, and quarterly thereafter, of oftener if re
quired by the State Treasurer, pay into . the
Treasury, or such places of deposit as said Treas
urer shall designate, to the credit of the Com
monwealth, the lehole amount, of money due the
Commonwealth, received during the period pre
ceding said payments ; and shall furnish to the
State Treasurer, statements under proper heads,
designating the source from which the money
was received : Provided, That the quarterly pay
ments of said officers falling duo previous to the
first day of Juno next, shall be made as hereto=
fore required by Jaw. And said officers shall tile
and settle quarterly accounts in the office of the
Attorney General, as now required by law. Upoii
the settlement of said quarterly accounts, it' it'
appear that the receipts Viall not have been paid
as directed by this section, any officer so offending
shall forfeit his fees and commissions on the
whole amount of money collected during the
quarter; anti iu every case where a balance due
the Commonwealth shall remain unpaid for a peri
od of ten days after such quarterly settlement, suit
shall he commenced against sneil delinquent tint'
hie suretics, as is provided in case of defaulting
officers."
Every man reading that law in con
nection with the letter from the Attor
ney General's Office will at once see
that the evidence against Mr. Donald
son as a defaulter -is overwhelming.
` Seven times in the hands of the At
torney General" means seven times a
defaulter; and his account with the
State for the nine months ending Aug.
30, 869, is to-day in default, and he to
gether with his sureties is liable to pros
ecution at any time.
It is not a pleasure to state this. P.ut
now that Mr. Donaldson runs to vin
dicate himself." we cannot say less.
We might say more.
With Cox in the field there is one
more chance to trade and make votes
for Packer. That is •the game. As
Gen. Cox pertinently said, the Demo
crats owe him nothing,. For him they
care nothing.) For Packer they care
everything. If ally Republican falls
mat, trap it/; wilt tiO soWith open
eyes.
We do not envy the reflections of the
individuals who are busy at the work
of identifying. Mr. Tabor, with the
movement to remove the County seat.'
Mr. Tabor, like Mr. Donaldson, and
nearly everybody else in this region is
doing nothing about the matter. In
deed, we have heard nothing from any
body hereabout, save from the irrespon
sible portion of society, touching the
County seat movement. The man who
endeavors, sneakingly, or openly, to
identify Mr. Ta l lier with the movement
is, of course, an unconscionable liar. It
would not surprise us much to hear
that the indiscreet persons who are run
ning Mr.,Donaldson had pledged him
to the removal in the river towns.
in our advertise
Elsewhere I._ dug columns
will be found the announcement of
Gen. Cox as an independent—bolters--
Democratic candidate for Treasurer.
We trust the "long agony of pepara-
Lion," with Gen. Cox, is over. For
ninny weeks he has been sorely pressed
by Democrats in front, sorehead -Re
publicans in the rear, and Copperheads
on both flanks, to "run " independent.
The pressure was something fearful,
and the implied compliment, to any
other than a man utterly lacking in
vanity like the General, would have
been overwhelming. During the first
week of Court the 4th corporals of the
political marines were very busy circu
lating rumors. Now it was—" Cox haS
agreed•to run ;" and in twenty minutes
some man, fresh from a talk with Cox,
would affirm that Cox had just assured
him that he would not run, under any
circumstances. To us these rumors
bore no significance whatever; for
whether one, or half, a dozen men fall,
in a contest like this, matters nothing;
and we long ago ceased to be troubled
with grief at the political slaughter of
any place-hunter, who advertises to
the world that his pledged faith is of no
worth whatever.
Let us return a little : On or about the
Bth of May 1869, we received a letter
from Gen. Cox authorizing us to pub
lish the following announcement :
" We are requested to announce (len. R. C. Cox,
of Liberty, as a candidate for Troalurer, subject
to the decision of the Republican County Con
vention."
July 10, following, the Republican
Convention assembled. David. Cameron
came into the Convention with 26 del
egates, Gen. Cox with 22.. On the 17th
ballot David Cameron had 37 votes to
35 for Gen. Cox and all others, and was
declared nominated. The only bolting
by delegates that we know of was from
Cameron to Cox early in the contest.
We affirm, without fear of successful
contradiction, that no delegate in
to vote for Cox voted for 'Cameron
on the last ballot. So much for " un
fair treatment 1 ) in the Convention.
It was last Thursday week, we be
lieve, that Gel). Cox came into this
office. Ina conversation which took
place between us twain, Glen. Cox men
tioned that he was much pressed to be
au independent candidate. Ho said he
had considered it fully and had,. prior
to his call upon us, decided not to run.
Ho said that he understood the thing
Perfectly ; that he owed the Democrats
nothing, that they owed pettifog to
him, and that he would not;.be the tail
of the Democratic •kite. jie said that
he owed .Mr. Donaldson nothing; that
Mr. Donaldson defeated him when a
candidate for the Legislature, as he
knew at the time, and now knew ; and
that he would not; be a tail to the Do
naldson kite. In short he had given his
final answer. He said that a depute
Lion of Democrats had called upon liiiii
and assured him that if he would red
they would take Murdaugh out of the
field and give him a free course' ;" " but
that," said the General, "is all gam
mon ; for I could not carry the solid
Democratic vote."
Friday morning R. T. Wood, M. M.
Conyers, and I. C. Price called upon us , , ,
with the announcement, substantially,
as it appears in our columns this week.
it did not even. Surprise us, though it
purported to be signed by the General
himself. A friend of his happened in
soon afters'ard and learned of the an
nouncement. He said that it was a
mistake that Cox had assured him
that morning that he would not run.
During the day Gen. Cox cause in and
asked if such a paper was in this office,
and asked to see it. WO gave it tohim.
Ho then, in the presence of witnesses,
declared that it was wholly without his
onnivauce or consent, alid that lie did
not want it published. • Saturday noon
119 came tc• us and asked if Wood had
not recalled that paper. We replied,
" no." He said that Wood promised to
recall it, and, that we need not publish
it until he, Cox, ordered it. During
the afternoon Mr. Wood called and
stopped publication. Tuesday forenoon
following Capt. Wood t ailed and alter
ed the announcement so as to read ' we,'
where before it read Ho then
handed to its a note from Gen. Cbx au
thorizing the publication. Such, On
brief, is the history of the case. A his
tory which displays all the modesty
and coyness on the part of the General,
which is supposed, to pertain to the
maid of sixteen or sixty when the ques
tion is popped. Like the Frenchman
in the play, who, when asked—" Will
you . apologize, or fight ?".—replied—
" Sure, I viii 1"
Thus, the General who would not
surrender to the chief of rebels, Lee,
gives up his sword to the 4th corporal
of rebel marines. Sie transit, etcetera,
etcetera.
Now you see him.
And now you don't.
Every Copperhead 'paper within a
hundred miles of Welisboro, is delight
ed with Mr. Donaldson as an "indepen
dent"•candidate. They all advise the
Democracy of Tioga to vote for Mr.
Donaldson. On the other hand no Re
publican paper in Pennsylvania or
southern Xew York has a good word for
Mr. Donaldson. All agree with us that
when the best than is on the regular
ticket, as in this case, sound Republi
cans ought to rally around him and labor
for the defeat of any bolter.

Probably Ned Rauch, of Father

home, had no Idea of helping the latter

•
"Personally he may safely be termed

ty, and of some very good traits of char
acter. He lives in\ a magnificent house;
is a millionaire ; keeps plenty of 'pure

as well as his stamps there will be au

PRESENTATION.—Mr. C. L. Pattison,
for many years Pay Master, and more recently
Cashier for the Fall Brook Coal Co., at Fall
Brook, Pa., was called upon a few evenings since
by a few of his many friends, and presented with
a beautiful 'Malacca cane, and pair of elegant
napkin rings—both handsomely engraved. ' Mr.
Alex. Pollock, Son., made a neat and appropriate
little speech in behalf of the gentlemen present,
which was responded to by Mr. Pattison In a few
happy remarks, saying that "this was the pleas
antest caning ho had over experienced." After a
few minutes passed in pleasant conversation, in
which the ladies present took an active part, the
gentlemen took their departure, leaving with Mr.
and Mrs. Paulson their best wishes, wherever
they may go. Take all together, it was one of
the moat enjoyable affairs of the kind it has ev
er been Our lot to witness.

CATARACT.—This IS a term given to a form of
blindness caused by an opacity of the' crystal

years of ago, and, although it renders the patient
entirely blind, it vary easily remedied. We have
witnessed numerous operations performed for
this form of blindness,by Dr. T. S. Ur DE GIIAPP,
of this pity and have been surprised to see bow
bloodless and painless the operation is and how
rapidly the patient is restored to vision. Two,
old persons, a man and woman, ono sixty-two
and the other over eighty years of age, were op
