MILITIA TAXES.

What has become of the militia taxes col
lected from the citizens of Bedford county
since 1892 Have they followed the Pre-
miums" on gold and silver coin and De
mand notes? BY the act of April 8, 1862, it
was appropriated to the relief fund for the
benefit of the families of volunteers Why
has not the Treasurer reported it? About
three hundred dollars were paid by mistake
to the State Treasurerin S62 Who has the
balance? Whatuse has been or is being made
of it. Who pockets the money. Consider
ing the County Debt to the State Of $40, 900.
The Poor House $4,000 or perhaps $4,000
for the clerk said they could not tell exactly,
the Premium appropriation &c, is it not
high time that the TAX PAYERS of the coun-
ty see that not only competent but honest
men be elected to take charge of the affairs
of the county? Let the Tax Payers answer
on Tuesday at the Ballot Box.

THE VALUE of BLUE CLOTHES /!

On last Saturday morning the Copper
heads made desperate efforts to get up a
delegation to attend meeting appointed at
Centerville, Cumberland Valley. A num-
Der of vehicles were chartered 1t appear
ed easier however, to get vehicles than to
get persons to fill them. One carriage stood
half an hour anxiously waiting for passen-
gers, no one came, eventually soldier in
blue clothes made his appearance He was
button -holed and offered WHOLE DOL
LAR if he would take seat in the hack
and hold their flag The soldier saw
chance to turn an honest penny and ac-
cepted the proposition. We would suggest
to our soldiers that if they have any old
blue clothes, they viii be able to part with
them on most favorable terms by applying
to the Chairman of the Copperhead County
Committee, as that gentleman intends fitting
out company of dummies to attend the
next grand rally.

SHALL SKEDADDLERS yOTEG

We answer emphaticaIly, NO The very
idea of an election board setting themselves
above an act of Congress is the most absurd
thing we have ever heard advocated. No
election board composed of anything else
but Bedford county Copperheads would
dream of setting themselves up as a Su-
preme Court to pass upon National law.
The Conscription Act was partly ignored by
these fellows, and now they desire to ignore
the remainder Of it. If they did, however,
ignore it for season, when Uncle Sam $
boys dressed in blue, came around, there was
another tale to tell, they became as meek
as any lamb, marched to the music of the
Union, left! left! and now we have no
hesitation in saying if Uncle Sam was able to
put strait Jackets upon them and ''muz-
zle" them in time of a monstrous rebellion,
be will assert the laws in time of Peace.
Let them, then, set the LaloS at defiance i
they dare; If they do, they must PIT up scitb
the consequences Let them vote their ske-
daddlers in Southampton, Cumberland Val
ley and Juniata if they do the election
board shall not only be prosecuted, but the
outraged law shall be asserted, their strong
holds contested and their vote ruled out.
If these districts are rejected, the Republi-
can ticket will be safe by several hundred
majority, and if they do not vote them, we
will beat them handsomely, so they can take
either horn of the dilemma.

SOLDIERS AND COPPERHEADs

The word ''Copperhead' originated in the
army, among the men whose votes are now
asked to defeat the Union ticket. No epi-
thet so well expresses a soldier scorn as
that of ''Copperhead. There is a marked
distinction between the Democrat and the
sympathizer who Is designated BY this con
yenient apreilation. The Democrat is a
frank outspoken citizen, who deplores the
blunders Of the party leaders, who denounces
the violence of Judge BLACK, the timidity
of James Buchanan, and the Stiffness Of
Richard Vaux. Nothing makes him more
indignant than to tell him his sentiments are
IN unison with the New York World, Fer
nando Wood, or G. l.. Nallandigham
Such a citizen don't vote the Union ticket,
sometimes shirks the election day, and when
he goes to the poll he invariably scratches
his ticket But when be gets desperate, he
marches directly into the Union quarters,
registers his name, takes room and be-
comes a permanent lodger. A Copper
head Is precisely the kind of animal to make
a soldier indignant. He is never satisfied
He is like John Randolph, who so hated the
woollen manufacturer that he swore he would
go out of his way mile to kick a sheep.
He always feels like making war upon
colored man if he meets one. He was ex-
SS>cANNAy 4uCNACAieulSu iii lllE IlIllG l1cNICI-
Ian lost battles, and especially after he lost
command; and he never thought much of
Grant because he took McClellan's place
He groaned over rebel defeat, as he used
to sadden over a Democratic defeat He
believes that Booth was "a handsome young
rascal, Mrs Suratt a saint in petticoats,
Jefferson Davis "a stern statesman, and
Henry Wirz persecuted German. He hel-
ped to put up the Chicago Democratic scat
fold; was present at the building OF the
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the Long
Ohio platform The only place where he
was not found was in the Union army The
soldier never meets his returned enemy in
the Union party. He never sees him at a
Union meeting. But ifhe goes into a Demo
cratic assemblase, he generally finds Cop
perhead in the chair, or making speech, or
offering resolutions in favor of Col W w.
H. Davis. And so the soldier votes against
the Copperhead and his friends Pres.

The Trail of the Copperhead
How we know him,

How we know him.
Our loyal people will have no difficulty
in following this reptile and spotting him if
they will only
REMEMBER, that the leaders, one and
all, ardently sympathized with the traitor
Gus rebels, and that they now plead for
those in the custody of the United States
with all theeearnestness of their souls.
REMEMBER, that the stars and stripes,
the emblem of our nationality, was scofFed at
by them, torn from appropriate places, and
supplanted by the ''red white and red, the
emblems of organized treason.
REMEMBER, that the Star Spangled
Banner" Red, White and Blue, &c,
were forced to give way to the fayorite airs
of the rebels. Yes, who does not remember
how night was made hideous by the sing
ing of Maryland, my Maryland . ''The

THE BEDFORD COUNTY POOR HOUSE.


There appeared in our columns last Spring,
a series ofarticles exposing to small extent,
the management of the Poor House, the
payment of extra salaries, the non-report-
ing of debts and the general suppression Of
facts, that might be preiudicial 10 the party
controlling that institution. A howl was
raised by the clerk Of the establishment
and other peeuniarily interested parties, but
not shadow of excuse was given for the
corruption and mismanagement existing in
the conduct of almost everything connected
with the Poor House The half was not
then told, that might have been, but the
public and even some of the before unini-
tiated officials were so disgusted with the
fragrant and undisguised corruption that
they denounced the whole establishment as
a disgrace to the County. 1t is unnecessary
for us now to reiterate the disgraceful rec
ord We only call attention to the fact that
our citizens may not forget the pressing ne
cessity for change in the management of
the Poor House, by eiecting men who are
willing and competent to manage the busl-
ness of the establishment, and give clear
and satisfactory account of their steward

AND THE NEXT DAY LOVE HIM.
4th. BECAUSE, ONE DAY THEY WANT
Us TO DISFRANCHISE HIM AND THE
NEXT DAY TO COURT his VOTE.
5th. Because, | am opposed to their plan Of
reconstruction; since the armies Of the Coafed.

KNOW NoTHINGs.

THE Abolitionists, unable to say any
thing truthfully against Messrs. Colburn
and Smith, lthe Democratic candidates for
the Legislature, are circulating a LIE to the
effect that they once belonged to the Know
Nothing order.
For the benefit Of the Bedford Gazette,
from which paper we clip the above, we here
say that we can prove by ans reasonable
number of men in this community, that
GEORGE A. SMITH belonged to the Know
Nothing order; that he has admitted It since
nominated for the Legislature, and that he
has publicly stated tie ''he had sworn more
Democrats into the order than he could get
out. When a newspaper man don t know
what he is talking about he ought to keep
his mouth shut That, however, is not the
Gdzette's style. Nor was it the style Of Its
editor when in the Legislature. .-Fuiton

A PRETTY FAIR MIXTTRE,

The Copperhead District ticket is COM
posed OF two old Know Nothings, George
A. Smith and A. j. Colborn, while in this
county two Catholics, Patrick Donahoe and
James Mattingly are running on the same
ticket with them. We would not have felt
disposed to mention this fact but the last
Gazette contains an appeal to the Catholics,
as if all other parties were arraigned against
them. Yet, it floats at its mast head the
names of two men who took a solemn oath to
forever oppose Catholics. What strange
way these fellows have of doing things.

REMEMBER, that the heathenish in
cendiary, who under cover of darkness,
prompted by the spirit of the devil, stealth
lily kindled the fire which consumed the
house of God, if living to-day, is traitor
and Copperhead.
REMEMBER, that every deserter who
fed to Canada to enjoy the protection of a
foreign Government, is and ought to be a
Copperhead.
REMEMBER, that every skedaddler
who secreted himself for months in the
pine clad hills" of the old keystone State,
is to-day a Irving, breathing, blathering
Copperhead.
REMEMBER, that every skulker who
found his way to the caves of our rugged
mountains, with loads of weapons, who
threatened death and destruction on all
hands, and then ran away from his shadow,
is blatant Copperhead.
REMEMBER, that every man who has
desired the success Of the rebellion, who
aided, abetted and countenanced it in any
manner, shape or form is Copperhead
leader to the extent of his intelligence.
REMEMBER, that those who secretly
met for the purpose of organizing resist
ence to the draft in Napier and st. Clail
townships, are to-day, true to their instincts
in the Copperhead ranks.
