To step Corruption.

10 the Editor Of The AUeghaniaa:
Something like the following is needed to
be appended to the oaths of the President
Congressman, Governors and all the Assem-
.blymen of the Union, suited to their different
Offices, viz And further that you will be
impartial III approving or disappearing of the
acts of Congress, and all other duties imposed
upon you by the Constitution and laws of the
United States and that you will not accept OF
any money or other emoluments, promises
in any shape whatever, from any company or
individuals, for furtherjng their cause.-so
help you God.
There are so many ways Of bribing that it
IS hard to detect it. 1t is reported of men,
bers, who could not vote for certain meas
ures, that they absented themselves on re-
ceiving bribes, although they were sworn TO
perform their duty with fidelity. Do they do
.heir duty when they step aside and let bad
measures pass by2 As well might our pick
cts step aside and allow the rebels to pass in
to the Federal camp. They were elected by
their constituents to enact good laws, as also
to act as pickets to prevent bad laws from be-
ing passed.
If something is not done to stop corruption,
God Will not wink at it

THE ESCHooLMAs AsTER.-T his remarkable
individual has been a long time on his
travels, and at length has succeeded in
reaching Cambria. At least such is the
general supposition, and the following fact
viii go far to prove it correct: During
recent examination of teachers in this
county, one of the applicants was asked
the question, Who is now at the head of
the Sandman Government Without
moments hesitation, the answer was forth
coming--''Be Beaaregard" Such alarming
intelligence is rare, indeed, in this or any
other community. Move on, pedagogue

Two deaths have occurred in our regi-

PERsoNAL.-Our old and much esteem

on visit to this place, a few days ago, on
which occasion we had the pleasure of
taking him by the hand. He looks hearty

conferred upon him, the duties of which
he is SO well qualified to discharge
Henceforth we must know him as Major
Wingard, and govern ourself accordingly
He will please consider our beaver tipped
after the most approved military fashion.
We will remark, en- passaat, that he is
occupying very enyiable position at the

from those who know him, aud who
appreciate his sterling abilities and moral
worth May his life be long, and Fortune
ever smile on his pathway.

The ART OF JUMPING OFF RAILWAY
CARs-I5 has been said that there Is art
in everything, and there certainly is some
art in jumping from car when in motion.
Most persons imagine that they must jump
forward, in the direction the car is no.
wing. This is a mistaken notion The
proper way is to ook forward, and step off
backward, and if the car is moving very
rapidly, give a spring backward just as
you let 90 the rail. In this way, by
springing against or opposite the motion
of the car, you overcome the impetus car
rying you forward, and are left standing
perfectly still; whereas, when yon jump
with the car you are plunged forward by
its motion.
