and that within the last ninety days we have
been cheated out OF as many men as would
have sufaced to Oil up the city quota under
the Presidents last call.
Now this is an alarming state Of things, and
steps should at once be taken to put stop to
it. General Spinola asserts that the agents en-
gagged in this traffic are members of the Loyal
League and are making large sums of money
by it. Why not let US have their namesf II
we cannot find legal means to stop their pro-
oeedings, the dread Of exposure may possibly
do 1t. The Legislature is, however, now sit
ting, and short act might be passed to reach
and punish these recruiting crimps. We
trust that the suggestion will be acted upon;
for II we allow this state of things to continue
another fortnight we shall have to pay in our
persons for the shortcomings Of the New Eng
land States.

made President it will not be due to the
HERALDs caressings or purrngs." Never
mind; so long as Grant becomes President 1t
will not make much difference who does the
caressing or purring, and the singed cat of the
Leader may then prove after oil that, apcord-
ing to the old saw, he is "a little better than
he looks" The Boston Courier canvasses the
subject of the nomination Of General Grant
pretty candidly; and in referring to what it is
pleased to term the HERALDs fundamental
error" In its speculations on the Generals elec-
ton, says il overlooks altogether the Jesse n
tial principle involved in the next presid entail
election" which the Courier defines to be the
taking Of "our vital safeguards Of law and
order in the loyal States from the hands of the
people BY the persistent action Of the admins
tration and Its subservient party" The Courier
is mistaken. We have not overlooked the point
in question. We hold that the spontaneous
election Of General Grant will restore to the
people all the safeguards they have lost during
q state Of terrible war, and bring about Q
speedy and permanent peace which none at the
North nor at the South can find fault with,
unless they be army contractors or bigger and
more uncomfortable rascals If nominated by
popular convention Of conservatives there is
no doubt the Courier will waive all its obiec-
tons. The Schenectady Star says the "HERALp
has already dropped Grant" Put on your
spectacles, my little puss. The Louisville De.
mocrot still looks favorably towards Grant, al
though IL expresses n fear that tho IrpArn
will use up what IL terms its sensational am
munition before the election The copper
heads of the Cincinnati Enquirer are almost on
the eve Of declaring for Grant, but they eau.
tiously hold back for the present
But we have not space for further references
to-day. We have said sufficient for the pre-
sent, and are treasured ia our conviction that,
as the Revolutionary war produced President
in George Washington, the war Of 1912 Presi-
dent In Jackson and again in Harrison, the
war with Aexioo President in General Tayios.

THE RAsD INTO Pennsylvania.

The Rebels Pursued by Averill-PennsyI.
vania Railroad II eported cut-R ebel force
Reported at Hagerstown-Mainf force of
Rebels supposed to be moving towards
Hancock. ..-
HARRISBURG, Aug. There is no. doubt in
the minds of military men that the rebels took
a westerly direction for the purpose Of circum-
venting and surprising the people at Bedford
Springs.
That celebrated watering place has been
crowded with the traitor synpathizers.
Many distinguished Union men are also
there, prominent among them Gov. Curtin,
but he left on Friday.
A report was current on the street In the part
of the afternoon that the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Mt Union had been cut by the rebels,
this is since proven to be untrue.
The railroad to Chambersburg is in working
order, and several trains which left here have
reached that locality
During the day rumor was current at
Chambersburg that large rebel force had
made its appearance at Hagerstown this morn
ing.
We have had no telegraph communication
with that place since 10 O'Clock. 1t is Under
stood in official circles that the Governor has
concluded to summon the Legislature at least
two weeks before the time fixed for their meet
ing in August. In the judgment of General
Couch, there is no necessity existing at present
for such call, the disposition Of the Federal
forces along our border being OF such char
acter, and numbers SO strong, as to leave no
doubt of their ample efficiency to control any
emergency. The Governors proclamation
will be Issued and telegraphed tomorrow.
Two women and a child persisted in Cham
bersburg during the confagration. A rebel
Major was killed and several prisoners were
captured by the citizens Of Chambersburg.
1t is believed in official circles, that the
rebels, having been severely punished at
McConnelsburg, pushed on towards Hancock,
where they effected crossing. This being SO,
makes it now certain that there are no rebels
at least of the column that moved from Will
Hams port-east and west-now in the State.
