Eligibility.

As an impression commonly prevails
that only those persons who have been
admitted to the practice of the law for at
least two years are eligible to the Office OF
District Attorney, we state that the Act Of
May 3, 1850, contains such requirement,
as also residence in the county during
the ore year next preceding the election ];
but by the act of February II, 1852,
the former Act is SO far repealed that
ANY person admitted to practice in the
Courts of the county in wki:h he shall
have resided one year next preceding
shall be eligible to the Office of District
Attorney for such county"

Poor House Director.

1t will be seen by reference to caro-
N these columns that Mr.. Hiram Frits
for good and sufficient reasons, has de
clined the nomination for Poor Hous
Director rendered him by the late Uniol
Convention of Cambria county. Mr.. F
is one of the most popular men in tn
north of the county, aud, had he though
it advisable to accept the nonrination
would have polled very strong vote.
1t will be noticed that Mr. Frits giya
as the controlling reason for his non-ad
ceptancc of the nomination, that he ebe
lieves the south end of the county is en-
titled to the candidate" This appears t
be the prevailing impression, and we fee
satisfied that our Convention committed
grave mistake in not taking tie Directo.
from Johnstown. The Democratic Con.
vention made the same blunder, for hei
candidate halls from the northeast town
ship of Allegheny. Two of the holdingi
over Directors belong to the north of th'
county ;-electing either of the candidatel
named by the r;vol Conventions woul& Z
give the north Of the county perfect
Poor House monopoly, leaving the soutl.
"out in the cold"
The resignation OF Mr.. Frits remedie
the evil, and allows southern man to bF
brought into the field, with a reasonable
show for success. Irwin Rutledge, ESQ.
appears to be the man fixed upon as tha
southern candidate, and we understand he
will be supported by men of all parties
who believe in giving the south of th}
county her dues. Mr. Rutledge is tho
retiring member of the present Board OF
Directors, and it is not saying too mucIA
to declare that his superior in the capaci-
ty in which he is now serving cannot be
found. He has given universal satisfac-,
ton, and his reelection would be hailed
not only as au act of justice to particular
section of our county, but also as a tributd'
to official competency and faithfulness

BY the terms of an Act of Congress ap.
proved 3D. March, 1865, deserters from
/ the army and non-reporting conscripts are
held to have forfeited their citizenship
and to occupy to all intents and purpose,
the position Of aliens, debarred from the
exercise Of all political rights and inca
pacitated from holding all offices of trust
and profit under the Government The
Act declares
"AH persons who have deserted the
military or naval service of the United
States, who shall not return to the said
service or report themselves to a provost
marshal within sixty days after the proc
lamation hereinafter mentioned, shall be
deemed and taken to have voluntarily re-
linquished and forfeited their rights TO
become citizens aud such deserters shall
be forever incapable of holding any Office
of trust or profit under the United States,
or OF exercising any rights OF citizens
| thereof; and all persons who shall here
after desert the military or naval service,
and all persons who, being duly enrolled,
shall depart the jurisdiction of tie district
in which he is enrolled, or go beyond the
limits of the United States, with the in-
tent TO avoid any draft into the military
or naval service duly ordered, shall be La
bic to the penalties of this section. And
the President is hereby Authorized and re-
quired forthwith, on the passage of this
act, to issue his proclamation setting forth
the provisions of this section, In which
proclamation the President is requested
to notify all deserters returning within
sixty days as aforesaid, that they shall be
pardoned on condition of returning to
their regiments or companies, or to such
other organizations as they may be assign
ed to, unless they shall have served for a
period Of time equal to their original term
of enlistment"
On the 10th March, 1865, the Presi-
dent Issued his proclamation as directed
by the law quoted. All deserters and
non-reporting conscripts who failed to re-
port to a Provost Marshal within the time
specified have therefore lost their right to
citizenship, aud cannot cote at any election
1t will be the duty of the men who stood
by the Government in her hour of peril
to see that this law is enforced.

The BOYD HILL MURDER.-The mys-
terry of the Boyd Hill murder has bsen
partially cleared up by the voluntary con-
fesson of Benjamin Kembardt Marshall.
German, who states that IN August last
he and another German, named August
Frcke, met in New York an emigrant
whose name they did not learn, monlder
by trade, that the three went to Pittsburg
on an emigrant train, and while on the
road Marshall and Fricke believing the
stranger to be possessed of a large amount
of money conceived the idea of numbering
him, which was accomplished on their ar
riva. by inducing the stranger to visit
Boyds Hill, where Marshall lived.
The conflict was short aud decisive.
Fricke stabbed him three times, while SIM
uitaneously Marshall struck him several
times on the head with an iron bar.
Fricke has also made a voluntary state
ment, in which he tries to throw Giscred-
it on part of Marshalls statement, tor
the purpose Of exculpating himself.

HHenniSh!

"The grave, the gay, the fopling, and the
Ounce
Start up (God bless us y statesmen all at
once"
Elsewhere in to-day's paper we print a
card wherein aid whereby Rev. H. K.
Hennigh, of Indiana, announces himself
ator in this District. We direct attention
to this card, while we propose TO discuss,
fairly and with moderation, the reverend
geutleman's assumed claims for the Office.
He is fully before the people as petit
toner for their suffrages, and we, as one
of the people, have right to canvass the
question as to his political worthiDess or
unworthiness.
Mr.. Hennigh's platform appears to con-
sist of four panks;
l. He is induced to offer himself as a
candidate because he believes the late war
was drought about by aspiring men Sc
curing their political positions through
fraud and corruption" and afterward
"setting at defiance the laws of God and
the rights of man." As against this
proposition, taken simply as proposition,
We have no particular objection 10 offer.
1t is lamentable fact that fraud and cor
ruption have not unfrequentiy worked
together to place unworthy men iu Office.
And we have no doubt that the reverend
gentleman is abundantIy able to demon
strate, by liberal use of premises and
conclusions, that this state of affairs caused
the Uar. We let that pass
II. He believes the present nominees
of the Republican and Democratic parties
secured their nominations "through fraud
and with the use of money" This is
most serious charge, and one the weight
and importance of which should have been
fully considered. before giving currenoT
thereto. We never before heard i: init
mated that either Mr.. White or Mr.
Blood secured his nomination by means Of
fraud and corruption Even opposing
politicians have not asserted it. If Mr..
Hennigh knows whereof he affirms-if he
is able to substantiate his assertion, it is
his duty SO to 90. The people have
weighty interest in the matter, and would
like to know all about it.
'Give me good proofs of what you have al
legged:
'Tis not enough to say-in such bush
There lies q thief-iu such cave beast
But you must stoto him to me ere shoot"
Mr. HIS Jelief that, if elected, the "pres-
ent nominees" would "use their positions
for selfish purposes" is gratuitous and un-
called-for, and is entitled to precisely the
same weight which attaches to the belief
of John Doe or Richard Roe. Only that,
and nothing more

are busily engaged making preparations
for importing a large number of voters

election, to engage in some occupation,
such as making ''shook,' peeling bark,
cutting timber, etc, an2 other branches
of business, to claim residence, vote, and
defeat our candidates, and then return to
their actual residences elsewhere. To be
