THE PRESS IN EBENsBURG.-In the
summer of 1888, paper was established
here under the title of The Democratic
Journal It was anti-mason in politics,
supporting Joseph Ritner for Governor
in opposition to David r. Porter. John
Scott vas its first editor, who was succeeded
by R. L. Johnston, Though edited with
7igor and ability, the result of the guber-
material campaign proved the wettest Of
wet blankets to any political hopes or
aspirations it may have entertained, and
the Journal soon sickened and died. Mr..
Scott, the first named editor, is at present
a resident of Brookville, Pa, where he is
conducting the Republican newspaper; !;
Mr.. Johnston is still living in Ebensburg.
August %, 1858, the first number of a
new paper styled The AUeghanian made
its appearance. 1t was Whig in politics,
and edited by Messrs. A. G. Mullin and
Charles Albright. Its motto was--"The
free communication of thoughts and opin-
ions is one of the invaluable rights Of
a NAH" The AReghanian was edited with
much talent and more vigOr, yet all its
DAYS were numbered by the brief span of
two years During those two years, it
had for editors, beside Messrs. Mullin and
Albright, Joseph R. Durborrow, R. L.
Z Johnston and John NJ. Bowman. Upon
the suspension of the paper, in 1855, the
establishment was bought by DR.. A.
Rodrigue, who took the press, type and
fixtures to Kansas. Arriving in that
then turbulent Territory, the Office was
seized by q body of border rufians and
thrown into the Missouri river. The
stock was subsequently fshed out, how
ever, and was afterward used, first to
spread abroad the pestilentinl heresy of
tpro4laveryism, and next, as a counter
vailing good, to preach the doctrines Of
abolitionism.
