upon Capt W. Hafer, one-legged soldier
and beat him badly. Shame Shame On
Sunday night following, some fifteen or
twenty Of the same party attacked Mr..
Deremer and Mr. Drummer, two gallant
young soldiers on their way from church, in
company with two young ladies, the daugh-

outrageously In the melee which ensued,
one of the young ladies was struck by one of
the wretches, knocked down and badly hurt.
Both the young ladies we've more or less
hart, one Of them tainted away from the
effects of the injuries received, and alarmed
her friends very mnch. The gentlemen
were bliged to seek shelter in the woods.
These soldiers were all thus brutally attack
ed because they have the manliness to stand
up for the same principles at home that
they contended for in the field. Soldiers,

cLYMER,s RECORD.

The record of Hester Clymer and his
claims to the suffrages Of the loyal men of
Pennsylvania, as gathered from his political
acts and associations may be set down as
follows
he declared there was no Constitutional
right to coerce a State.
He discouraged enlistments in the
Union army.
He denounced the conscription act as un-
constitutional.
He opposed every measure devised by the
Government for the vigorous prosecution
of the war for the preservation Of our ma
tional integrity.
he opposed the extension Of the elective
franchise to the soldiers in the field.
He encouraged deserters and bounty
jumpers to the great detriment of the Union
cause and thereby aided the rebels, pTolong
ed the war and increased our national debt.
He declared the war failure and aided
all the efforts of his party to make it so, in
order to bring about an ignominious peace
and the destruction Of our national Union
He opposed the establishment Of our ma
tional currency.
He rejoiced over rebel victories aud
mourned over Union triumphs.
He with bis whole party called Abraham
Lincoln a 'bufooD, a tyrantr and a
''usurper' and our gallant soldiers Lin
coin hirelings, Lincoln pups, blue bel
lied yankees &c, Sc.
He opposed and now opposes the disfran-
ehisement Of deserters and bounty jumpers.
He is an ardent advocate of Andrew
johnson policy Of making one rebel equal
to two loyal men and placing rebels and
traitors iD authority over US a a reward Of
their treason and rebellion.
He opposes the Constitutional amendment
that makes lchjte men equal and places the
national debt beyond the possibility Of re-
pudiation.
Such is but partial review Of the polit-
ical record of Hester Clymer Let ali good
citizens ponder well before they cast their
votes for such a man and against the soldier
statesman, the gallant General Geary.

that. but short time before, they had de-
nounced him in their public resolutions and
speeches, and in the press, as a tyrant and
usurper, and thus melted the enthusiast
Booth to the preparation of this horrid
crime. Should the time ever unfortunately
come, when this party shall obtain complete

THE BOUNTY LIE.

We have received from several Of our
soldier readers requests to refute the con
temptible falsehood uttered by ANDREW
JOHNSON and re-echoed By hI followers, TO
the effect that Congress had voted twice as
much bounty to negro soldiers as 10 white.
The following extract from the New York
Tribune refers to this subject
Tie World says:
Some Of our Radical friends don't seem to
relish this little item of ours. but We publish
it again in hopes it may yet do them good.
Congress has appropriated pay for two years
service as follows:
For each negro soldier. 100
For each white soldier 80
| For each member Of Congress. 1000
Let US briefly expose the ineffable Stiffness
Of this impudent lie Congress enacted
| that ere7B Union older in our war who
| has been honorably discharged 'after three
\ years faithful service should receive an ex-
| ira bounty of 800, while those likewise dis
charged after tlc0 years service should Te-
| ceiYe but $50 Now, the enlisting Of blacks
| to put down the rebellion was not fairly be-
- siii s-so-,i s.ai e--yrurpd uIuCh iaIueT
| proportions in 1864 while the fighting
ended in April, 1865. Of course. most of
| the blacks served less than two years. and 50
were entitled to no extra bounty while
| scarcely a handful Of them served tIree
years, so as to entitle themto 500. On the
other hand, there are many tens of thou
sands OF whites who served through three
years or over, and another large number
who served over two years. Why utter
talsehoods which every one who reads or
reflects must kR0iC to he such?
The above Is clear enough, but to leave
no room for doubt let US bring it 10 hghtin
every detail
Soldiers of 1861 when all were white)
received no bounty at first, but in 1864 they
were asked to re-enlist, and received
First, 500 bounty (by subsequent enact,
ment) for their three years service.
Second. For their additional service they
received $500, bounty and from cities.
States, counties and boroughs, suus rang
from $500 to $1,000, as an extra douccar
These men served until the end of the re-
bellion.
Soldiers from 1862 received slO0 bounty
from the Government, and, in few cases,
bounty from home
Soldiers of 1888, white and black, receiv-
ed $l0e bounty from the Government, aud
additional bounties and
Soldiers of 1864 received $500 bounty
from the Government, and additional boun-
ties.
Some black soldiers received no bounty
particularly those who had been
slaves. The law is to correct the neglect of
the Government and to oequalize the status
of the soldiers of 1862 and 1868, and the
blacks who received no bounty. Their right
to such bounty must be shown by their dis
charge papers.
Infamous and contemplate as the mix
iure of brazen .falsehood aud shabby quib
Die has been with which the Copperheads
have set forth the bounty law, it is still their
strongest card. Let all our readers do their
BEST to refute it-Pki1a. Press.
