and WHAT nc Is prepared 70 do
DAYTON, June 16.
The great banished was ssrenadsd
night st eight o'clock. A crowd We
gathered ct the Empire Office, through the
efforts Of band. which proceeded to Vail
andighspl's residence, raising great dust
and considerable noise. Vsllsndigham
appeared on the roof Of the POroh-Wsy and
was greeted with 3 series Of demoniaG
yells. He said:
Ny FRIENDS: greet you tonight, as
you greet me and | can truly say, that
from this demonstration il is evident you
are determined to support those principles
which have advocated and have suffered
for. To me this demonstration was unex-
pected, snd 1 appear only to make my re-
newed acknowledgment to you for this
continued expression Of kindly feeling.
This Was 3 very good beginning, but
Mr.. Vsllsndighsm did net sdhere to his
word, for he continued in q speech Of
nearly thirty minutes. He appeared, not
to speak upon question Of politics he
said, nor to add to what he had said the.
day before. He went on, however, with
some very incsndisry remarks. 1
| He had come back, he said for the pur-
| pose OF living at home With the 5gife OF his
bosom and his child, to lie in his own
home from which he has been torn thirteen
months before, and receiving in quiet the
calls Of his trends. There was something
refreshingly cool in the way which he ar
gued TO himself the devotion Of bis friends,
and in the way it was swallowed. BE did
not expect to be again melesied unless BY
men in this city, and the former scenes
revived. II this be done" he said, I
warn them that the result viii be such a.
compared te it, the other was but dust on
the scale"
He would make no threats, but he did
not come from g foreign country without
a deliberate calculation Of the cause and
the consequences, and a dsii6sFats pTsPaTa-
ton to NEST them. He could be taken by
any due civil process, by any crippled
constable, but without that no force could
do il. Three hundred men, armed to the
te tn, would not again fnd him in his
house after the door had been buttonsd
down, bat they would fnd him the afzt day
not far of, Immense cheers and if any
military commander Of the President
we're to undertake such an ar est he
warned them that in this town the persOnG
and property OF those instigsting such q
proceeding would be held as hostage. He
should urge an eye for sn
eve. and tooth for g
tooth, SO help him ever living Jehovah.
: He then reviewed his personal and politi-
cal history, defying any person to show
wherein he had meritsi the treatment he
received. BE again repeated that he de-
sired no disturbance and believed there
would be none. He did not believe there
would be any attempt to arrest him again,
bnt should there be, he repeated his warn
ing, not, as he said, in q spirit Of braVaGo,
but to let his friends know thst he and
his fri .nds were prepared fer any eEsF-
gency. This threat he several times re-
pested.
He then announced his intention Of
keeping his mouth closed until after the
Democratic Convention at Chicago, when
ne would make his purpose known. --

Evidences Of Treason.

The seizure of large quantity of
fire arms at New York, intended for
an association calling itself democratic
at Indianapolis, with correspondence
at the latter place, duplicating Vallan
bingham, Voorhees, and others of
similar brand, all bear intrinsic evi-
dence that rebel agents at New York.
are furnished money for the purpose
OF creating discomfort, riots, resistance
TO the laws, &c, at the North, for in
dIVlduals or mere associations would
not invest more than a million and a
half dollars in such an enterprise. The
presses too, in this State, which are
Insidiously preaching treason and in
citing to resistance Of the draft. all
act with so much accord as to leave
little room for doubt that the texts for
these articles are prepared at New
York, are paid for out Of this rebel fund.
and are designed to secure the disunion
OF this country. Pick up, for instance
a package of self styled democratic
papers, and seven out of ten will be
found to be filed with articles de-
nouncing the government almost word
tor word in the same manner that the
biue-light federalists Of 1912 denounced
Madison and his administration durine
the war with Great Britain, and pre-
clsely in the same way that the nulIi-
fers of South Carolina and Georgia
yelled their anathemas against Gen.
Jackson in 1928. These are notable
facts, well worth pondering, for if such
conduct was disloyal then, what has
occurred to make it democratic no,o ?
There are many democratsi in this and
other counties who continue to act
with that party who may be 10th to be-
heve that we have traitors in our midst.
but as there is but one step between
disloyalty and treason, it becomes all
such to examine the ground whereon
they stand, and if found in evil COM
pany to cut loose from it. Of all the
hollow pretexts now put forth by these

one by Grant, the other by Sherman.
One fourth OF the new levies called for
once in the field will march down the
Shenandoah Valley, sweeping all be-
fore them; a second fourth will rein

one more opportunity will be offered
the rebels to lay down their arms and

Vice President, Mr.. Stephens Of Geor-

will have to abide the result OF a con-

The Quota for this Congressional Dis
frTnf

Some weeks ago it was discovered
that the number Of men required from
this district 1866 was out of all pro-
portion compared with other districts
the quota taking one man out of eve
ry II, while in the Dauphin and some
others but one out Of was required
The average through the State was
understood to be about one out Of ev-
cry 6. Satisfied that there was some
thing wrong in this great inequality,
measures were taken to draw the at
tention Of the authorities to it. and
MessrS. J. \. Mckee and D. d. Nut
thersbough proceeded to Harrisburg,
for the purpose Of making an exami-
nation, when it appeared that the
congressional quota had been fixed on
the old rolls Of this district, numbering
over $1,000 names, 1900 or 1900 Of
whom were actually in the service,
and at least an equal number exempt.
Col. Dodge promised to look into the
matter, acknowledging there appeared
to be something inexplicable in the
proportion assigned. Subsequently
Messrs. D. w Woods and Fl. J. Wal
ters proceeded to Hollidaysburg, where
the amended roll exhibited the fact
that it numbers but about 10000, or
5000 less than the former. A commit
tee will proceed to Harrisburg to-day
with view to have a correction Of
the quota made Whether the total
can or will be altered now, we cannot
undertake to say; but it seems to US
there ought to be no hesitation in cor
recting discrepancy of this kind, for
it stands to reason that the draft ought
not to take more men in proportion
out Of one district than another.
