The Intimidation Game.
ao1us Deserter Lists In Preparation.
The Chamber

We understand that the Disunion man
ayers have given orders to the State prin-
ters that they must have the lists OF De-
serters and Non-reportinS DRAFTED men
ready for distribution in two weeks. The
printers are accordingly working day and
night to get them done. Some time ago
we stated that the regiments were esti-
mated to average about $50 deserters and
non-reporting drafted men, which would
make the aggregate upon the lists about
10000. We are told, now, that the ag-
gregate will reach nearly SIXTY THOU
SAND There is strong reason to believe
this, from the fact that the lists have
been in the hands of the printers long
enough to have been printed weeks ago
if containing no more than $4,000.
Even though there may be 1000, time
enough has elapsed 10 have had them
printed now and ready for distribution.
We believe the delay to be intentional
designed to give the accused no time to
prepare proof and hunt up witnesses
But there is a more serious rumor
abroad. 1t is said that, since the lists
were first prepared, there have been add
ed the names of thousands of Democrats
who were never in service, and were
never drafted! Sixty thousand names
would be one-sixth of all the Pennsylva-
MIA soldiers in service during the whole
war. 1t is not possible that one soldier
out Of every six deserted from service.
Nor is it probable that there was one
deserter for every twelve men. The
names of persons who were never in SER
vice have been added principally in locali-
ties where Disunion election officers pre-
side, so that, unless the accused may be
able to furnish proof, at a moments
notice, that they were never in service,
their votes can be rejected. The mere
publication Of such names upon the lists,
it is calculated, will secure the election
officers from punishment afterwards.
There is but little doubt that this desper-
ate Disunion game is going on. The
delay in the prcpal alton and distribution
of the lists is strong proof Of the fact
To checkmate this desperate game of
the Di.unionists, we hope Mr.. Wallace,
Chairman of the State Central Committee
will at once issue a circular to the election
officers, defining their powers and duties
under the election laws of the State, and
warning them against rejecting the ballot
of any man whose name may be upon
those lists, no matter whether he be De-
serter, Non-reporting Conscript or not
We hope that he will also instruct the
people to secure witnesses against all
election officers who may reject such bal
lots, and assure all who may suffer dis
e., IL, IL
cratic State Central Committee of Penn
sylvania will assume the responsibility
and expense Of conducting the legal pro-
ccedings in every court, from the lowest
TO the highest, necessary to secure to
them their rights and to right their
wrongs i-PatTiot and Umon

What a Hero |!

The reporter of the Express, speaking
of the Abolition Mass Meeting at Read
ing, on yesterday, calls General, Geary
the ''hero of eighty-four battles -
Shades of Frederick the Great, of Napo-
leon and Ney, of Wellington, Of Wash
ington and Scott, of Taylor and Worth,
of Grant and Sherman, hide your dimin-
ished heads in the presence of this greater
conqueror than the Macedonian mailman
or Julius Cesar The latter, it is said
by historians, only fought fifty pitched
battles, and became the ruler Of the vast
Roman Empire whilst Alexander con-
tended for the mastery on still fewer fields
of blood, and then sat down and wept
because he could find no more worlds 10
conquer, But Major General John w.
Geary, Abolition candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania, will take rank in history
as the greatest hero Of ancient or modern
times, and his name will be heralded
through all coming time as the most stu
pendous warrior that ever drew a sword
on the face of the globe! Vive la Geary
Vive la the "hero of eighty-four bat
ties ! - Viye la hum6ug!!!

John Chinaman's Soliloquy.

A moon-eyed Celestial, with
chop-stick in hand, sat eating the
rice of his dear native land; when
ceasing at length his belly to I'LL,
he commenced with himself on the
Civil Rights Bill. ''No more eatee
Icee, no more eatee rat; me Merl-
can man, and mustn't do that. Me
votee, me swear and do what | will,
for such is the law of the Civil
Rights Bill. No more huntee hole,
nor hide like a niece, when tax
man he come a hunting for licee
for Merican Congress say John Chi
naman, is good as a niger or any
white man. Me ikee be Judgee,
me likee white wife; then China
man happee the rest of his life.
Me wantee big Office whenever me
| vote; me wantee plug hat and long
Shanghai coat. John Chinaman
Merican, say what they will, for
such is the law of the Civil Rights
Bill. John twisted his pig-tail and
looked at his clothes, wide opened
his mouth and grew red at the nose.
! He felt contempt for the pick and
the drill, since Congress had passed
the Civil Rights Bill. But after
reflection John broke out anew, as
if he'd resolved what course to pur-
sue. Me no likee nigger, the Chi
naman said he no Merican man.,
with his woolly black head. Me
kick him, me lick him, me hit and
me spankee, for John Chinaman is
good as a Yankee. Darkee no

no Ekee Chinaman say tail is too

THE Lake CITY "Leader"

THE Lake City "Leader" is
responsible for the following story At a
meeting Of the patriotic ladies and gentle
men of Lake City, to prepare for the sol
diers' festival lately held in that enterpri-
sing town, a young attorney present was
requested to fine out who would supply
the milk for the dinner. Jumping up on
chair, he loudly asked: ''LIow many
ladies here will give milk for the brave
soldiers ?" to which an elderly lady re-
sponded, that for one, she could not-she
had not given milk for ten years which
so utterly confounded the young lawyer
that he was entirely unable to prosecute
his inquiry, and it has never been salts
factorily known how many ladies there
were at the meeting who would have
promised ''to give milk for the brave SOL
diers."

BRIGHTLY over the path of life
shines the sun of Hope, gliding the crag-
gy mou ntain-top, and casting soft light
into the valleys of poverty and sorrow,
where weary and way-worn pilgrims are
tolling Oh, seeking better country, even
Heavenly. Without its cheering beams,
Ilie were but gloomy journey, and full
OF terrors; for what is any present enjoy
ment If it be robbed of Its promise of the
future ? How were any trouble to be
borne, if there was no looking forward to
brighter hours President Hal.
