The LilipuGian vyorId's Organ.

The Johnstown Tribune, true to its
nature, again takes the bull, not by the
horns, but by the tail, and seems to think
that il is "faciug the music" Not satisfied
to contend with The ARfghanian as a
newspaper, it insists on directing its
terrible (D,thunderbolts at The ALegha-
Ridn's editor in person. Yet the Tribune
at times would be a very Chesterfield in
manners.
Sill afraid of attempting to repel the
charges against it AID. its friends, it in
its last number takes issue with a CORES
pondent and charges his actions upon the
editor of Tile AHeghdnion in person,
knowing all the while, too, that at the
time OF the reception, publication and
issuing of our correspondents letter, the
editor OF this paper, whose name it SO
freely Parades, was absent in Washington.
What a modest, manly, Fair and honorable
disrRtant the editor of the Tribune is

A Child gorn with One Arm.

The Albany KnickerGocker is response
bic for the following: One of the most
remarkable cases that has ever come un-
der the observation of our medical frater-
bity has just transpired at the residence
of young man named Abriel, who resides
on First street, Arbor Hill. Mr.. A. is a
returned soldier. He has been home
something less than year. When he
came home he was suffering from mimic
ball wound through the deshy part of his
right arm. 1t became so bad that the
attending physician talked seriously of
amputation. This worked seriously on
the mind of his young wife Che had but a
short :ime previously got married She
cared for and dressed the arm regu larly,
and paid every attention to it, not wishing
to see her husband with only one arm
This was some eight or nine months ago.
Under the kind care of the wife, whose
whole attention was absorbed in the
thought of one-armed husband, the
wound got well, and the arm was saved.
Now for the sequel. The other day the
wife of Mr. Abriel gave birth to child
who had one ell-leveloped arm, but the
other was a stump, similar to one which
the poor wife's mind was impressed with
at the time the surgeons were talking of
taking off her husbands. Amputation
eoald not have produced more beautiful
stump, and what is more, the scar of the
bullet hole, so visible on the fathers arm,
vas as visible on the chilG's arm, at the
base of the stump, as if really inflicted by
a ball. This is the most remarkable case
of Hchild markD ever knovn Tt hos at
tracted the attention of all our leading
physicians aid surgeons. The child is
a healthy aud beautiful one, perfect in
every respect, save the absence of the arm
referred to.

Some More.

Speaking of the Democratic county
ticket, the Johnstown Tribune says it
receives "fulsome puff in The AUegha-
nton, and endeavors 70 leave the impress
sion that this paper is giving countenance,
and, of course, aid to the Democratic
nominees. 1t also again drags in the
name of The AReghuniap's editor.
The Tri6une's strength seems to lie in
personalities.
We will again try to get the Tribune
TO take hold of something tangible.
Does it deny our words that "On the
whole, the Democracy have given us
better ticket than they are in the habit of
nominating"
Or, that "Mr. (Robt. L. johnson is
worthy gentleman 2"
Or, that he made ga gallant fight" two
years ago for the position of CONGRESSMAN
from this district?
Perhaps the Tribune is one of those
whose idea OF fighting foe is to deny the
possession by him of any and every virtue.
But why should we expect the Tribune
to discern between personal worth and
baneful political doctrine
Will the Tribune declare frankly and
openly that it believes what it insinuates
that this paper is giving the Union
nominations the cold shoulder?
1t seems, however, that the Tribune is
getting to be nothing if not unfair.

ENGLAND HEARS OF THE FENIAN IN
vAsIoN.-The news Of the Fenian raid
into Canada has reached England, and the
press there speaks in warm terms of graf
ifcation concerning the conduct of our
Government. The Times says that we
"did more than could be reasonably crpect-
ed yrom the most friendly nation.'' 1t says
that police force might have been en-
trusted with the business of checking the
raid, but our Government employed its
most distinguished officers. President
Johnson's proclamation is highly COM
mended, and the "Thunderer" in a gush-
ing outburst of good feeling concludes ::
"Those energetic acts of genuine friend
ship on the part of the United States
Government will be long and cordially
7; and we are almost disposed
to thank the Feniaus for having given
the Americans an occasion for displaying
so conspicuously their friendliness and
good feeling"

MALARIA.-The dccayed and decaying

Col. John w. F0rney.

In Announcing the coming out of Col.
John W. Forney for United States Sena-
tor, correspondent Of the Chambersburg
Repository INDUCES in the mention of the
following "reminiscences -
"There is something of the romance of
politics in the history of Col. Forney.-
He first rough h-hewed his way into promi-
nence as Democratic editor in Lancaster,
where he attached himself with all the
ardor of his genial nature to the fortunes
OF James Buchanan. subsequently he
assumed the editorial chair of the Phila-
deiphla PennSylOdnidn, and made it the
most efficient and respected Democratic
organ ever published in that city before
or since. He was afterwards chosen
CLERK of Congress, and once suffered de-
feat IN that body in an effort for re-elcc-
.ion by Southern Democrats deserting him.
lie also edited the Union during part of
Iierce's administration, and finally left
Washington and its honors and profits 20
marshal the Democratic forces for Bu-
chanan In 1856. How successfully he
performed that task, is a matter Of
history familiar to all intelligent politi-
clans. Before the election, Mr. Bucaan-
an had voluntarily proposed to make him
eoltor OF the administration organ and
printer to Congress-, but the Southern
leaders had learned to hate and fear For
ney, and they compelled the President
elect to violate his faith with him. Va
rIous other positions were rendered to
Forney by the President, but he rejected
all of them, and demanded the Post Mas
ter Generalship, which the South would
not permit Buchanan to accede to. AS
compromise, Col. Forney was made the
administration candidate for Senator, and
Mr.. Buchanan threw himself into the con-
test to effect the success of his favorite-
A nomination was effected, but it left
gaping wounds behind, and Gen. Gamer
on was able to capture several of the
demoralized Democratic members, and
thus, with the Republican vote-pledged
to him only In case he could command
three votes from the Buchanan ranks-he
compassed his election. Mutual disap-
pointment and palpable bad faith on the
part of Buchanan, gradually ripened into
and Col Foruey finally spread
his own sails and started the Press as an
Independent Democratic paper. How he
resisted the Lecompton infamy, and aided
to effect the Republican victories of 1858
$3.50, is familiar to all and from thence
he has acted openly with the Lincoln ad-
In 1859 lie was reelected
Clerk of Congress by the Republicans and
anti-Lecompton Democrats, and in 1862, |
after having been defeated In contest
for another term, he was elected Seereta-
ry of the Senate-a position he still fills
with credit, and manages two daily jour
nails between times"

ANNEcDorE OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN.

ANNECDoTE OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
The following anecdote of President
Lincoln is told in a letter from Panama,
which appears in the -4then8um. The
writer is referring to the war between
Chill and Spain: 81 asked the Chilian
Admiral, (who is an Englishman, and
came out with me- why the Chiiiaus did
not try to get the greatest of American
republics to help them. He thought it
was no use trying, because couple of
years ago he was cent to Washington 20
get the permission of government for the
purchase and export Of two vessels, at
that time contra band of war. President
Lincoln received him with his usual affa-
bility and while Seward was reading the
Chiian state paper, Abraham Lincoln
SAID admiral, | must tell you little
story. When young man | was very
anxious to read book which belonged to
a neigh5or of mine Neighbor, | asked,
could you lend me this book Certainly,
he replied, you can come here and read it
whenever you like. AS the book was
rather bulky one, l thought this was
rather an odd way of lending it to me
but | let that pass. A short time after
wards he came to me. Lincoln, be said,
can you lend me your bellows? Certainly,
l replied here they are; you can come
here and blow away as much as you like.
And that is exactly the case now, Admir-
al !; you can come here and blow away as
much as you like but we cannot let you
take the ships away"

NATIONAL Convention.

The Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Union Clue, having A. W. Randall
for it's President, and j. r. Doolittle, o.
II. Browning, Charles Knap and Edgar
Cowan for its members, have issued n call
for Convention to meet in Philadelphia
on the fourteenth DAY of August next
This call is endorsed BY j. A Hend-
rieks and J. W. Nesmith, as we'll as by
two other personages. OF the two whose
names have been given, neither has ever
been member of the Republican Union
organization.
Of the call by these gentlemen for a
convention, we have to say:
They have no right to speak in the
name of the Republican Union party.
They and such Republicans as act with
them in Congress number only one-6fth
of the members of the Senate elected as
Republicans, and not one-twentieth of the
members of the House elected as Repub
Gcans.
Il is the province o: the National Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Union party tc
summon it to a convention or at least of
n majority of its chief and recognized
leaders, and not of a pitiful handful Of
those who have been struggling in its
wake.
If they do not speak in the name of the
Union party, then they must necessarily
consider themselves separated from it.
If separated from it, they must intend
their call for those in the North who op-
posed the war, and those in the South
who fought for it, plus the inglorious few
of the people who have left the RepuDli-
can organization to follow the lead of A
johnson, President of U. S.
So far as the Union party is concern
cd, there is no need for a convention
Of this, the gentlemen whose names are
appended to the caE, whose merits we are
now discussing, are good witnesses. For
instance, let Hon. Edgar Cowan testify as
to his success in disrupting the Union
party in Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania, the Union party gives
evidence Of its unanimity by the nomina-
tion of Gen. Geary and by its evident ad-
herence to him.
Oregon, the same by its election of the
Union ticket.
Wisconsin, the same by the action of
its Governor in calling the Legislature to
ratiiy the amendment.
Maine, by its noble resolutions and its
OF Gen. Chamberliu.
= Connecticut, by ratifJ ing the amendment.
New Hampshire, by Ike action.
BE not deceived. ThiI call is not in
tended in good faith for the steadfast
Dpioaists.

Stephens of Georgia, for all the copper
heads of the North and all tie rebels Of

General Geary in Relation TO
Counties.

General Geary has addressed letter to
Hon. Henry Wilson, chairman of the
Senate Military Committee, in favor of
the equalization of bounties. He defends
the measure both upon the ground of
justice and expediercy. One suggestion
he thus puts:
off tho Government has not the money
to pay this demand for bounties to our
soldiers, why could not Congress authorize
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue five
per cent. gol0 bonds for all sums of fifty
dollars and upwards, payable in thirty
years, making them the Soldiers Bounty
B0nds,' but receivable at all times in pay
ment for Government lands at par This
would enable the soldier at any time to
exchange his bonds for public lands on
any of the great railroad lines leading to
the Pacific or in any other place where
he might choose to locate. This would
also cause the bonds at once to be in
demand. Those who did not choose to
locate in the Western States, could sell
their bonds at par to those who wished
to do so. Besides, if the soldiers should
choose to take up lands for their bords,
the country would be certain that the
great West was being filed up with
population that loved it and had stood by
1t in the hour Of its greatest need. The
soldier -emIgrant would feel, too, that his
homestead was the reward of patriotism,
and his posterity after him would venerate
it as SUCH"
