Another Lie Nailed.

There was an item got into the public
prints TO the effect that Col. Curtin should
have said that a Dutchman was not like
another man that he had two skulls, and
TO get and idea into his head one skull had
first 10 be smashed This is contradicted
by two men, Lot Strubble and John Musser.
who publish letters 10 contradict the facts,
and which letters are published in all the
Republican papers. These letters, howev-
er, are false; for both these men have been
called upon to make aft idavit to what they
publish, but both refuse 10 do so. This we
have from a reliable source. We believe
the mean reflections of Mr.. Curtin upon
the Germans 10 be true, and that Lot Strub.
bic and John Musser were hired to contra
dict them.

The Scranton Republican claims that Col
Scranton 'gave Mr.. Morrill, the greatest in
formation and most efficient aid in drawing
his {Tarif) Bill" and we believe Col. s
claimed the same thing in his speech &C,
cepiing the nomination. This is decided
ly rich, when we take into consideration
the fact that Mr. Morrill, had thai bill, with
perhap ps very slight alterations before Con-
gress two years ago-before Scranton ever
saw Mr.. Morrill, either. 1t will be news TO
Mr. Morrill, that Col Scranton was his right
handman in drawing the tariff Bill. This
cheat won't answer again, gentlemen.-

which was addressed by Charles B. Brock
way and E. H. Little, Esq 1t was spirit
ed meeting-well attended. The speakers

able speeches of nearly an hours length
each. They we're much rleased with their
in an honorable and truthful manner. These
township meetings are being attended with
a gres: deal of interest, which is sure evi-
dence OF susccess for the Democratic party
Orange township, like many others, this
fall, will not be found negligent in doing
her duty. but give her usual strong demo-
cratic majority.

Politics In Jackson.

The citizens OF Jackson township, Colum-
.bia county, held a political meeting at
Maning's School house, on last Friday eve
ming, which was well attended. Mr. IRAl;
DERR was appointed chairman of the meet
ing, after which, E. n. LITTLE, Esq, Dis
trict Attorney, of this county, was called
upon for speech. Mr. Little responded
to the invitation by delivering very effec.
tive speech of over an hours length, which
was patiently listened to. and with grea:
apparent satisfaction. In the midst of his
remarks he was frequently applauded with
much zeal and earnestness His addresses
10 say the least, was well received. The
audience was an intelligent and apprecia-
tive ore. The speaker took his seat amidst
laundering applause.
CHARLES B. BRoCKwAY, a student al Law
and an intelligent young Democrat of much
promise, was next called upon the rostrum,
and spoke to the audience upon the general
aud true issues of the Campaign at consid-
cradle length, acquitting himself and The
subject manfully His hearers were much
pleased with his remarks. and upon every
hit he was tremendously applauded. Every
one who was in attendance at this meeting
was a member of thesDemocratic party, if
we are allowed to Judge from the enthusi-
asm. They came in delegations from all
directions until they had swelled the num-
Der tremendously, considering that it was
an evening meeting and not in town, but
in rather thinly settled neighborhood. 1t
was truly renewal of one of the old fash
ioned Democratic gatherings OF that town
ship. The Democrats in Jackson are up
and doing they are fully aware that an i'm
portant election is before them and they
are going 10 attend TO it. The meeting ad-
journed with more cheers than we have

Meeting IN Pine Township.

The Democrats Of Pine and the surround.
ing townships held political meeting at
Warnersvlle, on Monday evening last
which was presided over by MIR Joseph
RoBBIssos. On motion, C. B. BRocKwAY
addressed the meeting. His remarks were
not of character that would rest easy with
the Republicans for. as an evidence of
the fact, the individual OF that locality, who
had some ASPIRATIONS for office OF Assem-
bly,, year ago, undertook, upon several
occasions, to interrupt or contradict the
speaker, but upon every occasion got rather
worsted. The speaker stuck close to The
records, thereby dealing out stubborn facts,
which, as matter of course, would greatly
worry his Republican friends, of which a
good number were present
F. H. little Esq, was next called upon
TO address the meeting. He responded to
the call, and made very effective speech,
which was listened to with considerable
interest, but not without being interrupted
by the would ldbe-Assemblyman. The speak
er dwelt too plainly on facts for him, as did
the speaker who preceded with the open
ing address. He vas applauded quite fre>
quently during his speech. The meeting
was large, considering the dsagreeable
weather. Three cheers were given and
the meeting adjourned.

On Friday last, about O'Clock p. m a
destructive fire broke out in stable IN the
rear of DR.. Frick's residence, on Market
Street, in Danville. This stable was on an
alley, which runs close by the public house
of William Henrie. The wind being high
the fire spread with fearful rapidly, con-
suming most all the frame buildings on the
alley. Il was with great exertions that the
house of Mr.. Henrie was saved. The office
OF Hon. Paul Leidy being on the corner of
the square. and in eminent danger, and
likely to endanger other property, was
completely demelis hed-removed in frag-
menis. The loss is estimated at from S8, 900
TO so 900, of which the greater part falls
on Mr. Houpt whose tannery was consum-
ed. The fire is supposed TO have origi-
Bated through carelessness. The 6remen
deserve much credit for their persevering
and successful exeriions.

Mr.. Osterhout is well known TO the citi :
zens of this county, is esteemed and respec-
ted for his many amiable qualities as a
gentleman, and possesses in an eminent

popular and efficient Legislator.
Col. Hiram R. Kline, of Columbia, is a
gentleman of correct business habits and
experiences man of untiring energy aud
having the advantage of good education
united with much experience with reference
to men and things, he will most certainly
be an ornament 10 the station for which he
has been designated.
In the Legislature we want honest, capa-
BILE and dilIigent men,-who will tDork for
the interest oftheir immediate constituents

Dayid r. Randall, E,a

Our nominee for Congress, was in town
on Thursday evening last, accom- panied by
the Hon. E. B. Chase and Caleb E. Wright,
of Wilkesbarre. They each in turn deliv-
cred addresses before a Democratic meet
ing which had assembled in the Court
House previous to their arrival. Owing TO
the laieness OF the cars (for they came by
cars) and the short notice of the meeting,
there was not as large number of the De-
mocrscy in attendance as Otherwise would
have been. Notwithstanding, quite a re-
specialize number were present, and all
seemed 10 be well pleased with the speech
es. On the following evening they address
ed a large and enthusiastic Democratic
meeting in the town of DanvilIe. They
met with hearty reception in Danville,
especially our candidate for Congress, MIR.
Randall. The people were very much
pleased with him, and will give him their
votes. In him they could see an honest
mana man who would not cheat them,
and man whom they could trust. The
Democrats of this Congressional District
have no reason tc cut the ticket this fall :;
they have a good man, man of whom
they may well feel proud-an honest demo-
crat-and God knows that is enough. There
is not the slightest reason for any Demo-
crat 10 vote for Scranton this fall The tar
if cry is worn out. Scranton humbugged
the people once with that issue, but he will
not be able to play the same game over
upon an intelligent people, such as this Dis
trici is composed OF. Stick 10 the ticket
and all is well.

Disturbing po,,,icaI Meetings,

By the revision of the Penal Code of
Pennsylvania; during the past winter, by
the legislature, the disturbing of public
meetings was made an offence, punishable
with heavy penalties. 1t may be benefit
10 those Republicans who have interfered
with Democratic meetings, 10 knotO, if they
do not already know, TO what extend they
have violated the law of the state. And that
it may be warning 10 them in the future,
we append the section of the Penal Code,
relating 10 this subject:
''SEcTIoN 3l.-If any person shall willful-
ly and maliciously disturb or interrupt any
meeting, society, assembly or congregation,
convened for The purpose of religious wor-
ship, or any moral, social, literary, scien.
tific, agricultural, horticultural or floral OBJ
ject. ceremony, examination, exhibition or
lecture, such person shall, on conviction, be
sentenced TO pay fine not exceeding fifty
dollars, and suffer an Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding three months, or both, or either, at
the discretion of the court"
We hope that fear of the consequences,
if not sense of shame, will deter our op-
ponents, from attempting any interuiions
in this locality.

You elected Col S. two years ago by crying
Tariff Tariff Col. Scranton voted for both
Grow and Sherman respectively for Speaker
and they both advocated and voted for the
reduction of the Tariff in 1857. Col. S.

better excuse than that Would not Grow
or Sherman as speaker have made up the
Committees also! The truth is, Col. S.
went 10 Congress by crying Tariff, and pro.
