TRANSPORTATION.

In the special report CT the General Super
intendent herewith submitted, full account
is given Of the operations of the transpcrta ton
department, of the condition CT the road and
its equipment, with al the details for expenses
incurred OF working the same. 1t is not there-
fore necessary, in this statement, to recapitu-
late the facts already embodied in the report
referred to above. The departments believed
to be economically and efficiently managed, Of
which the moderate working expenses, regular
ity in moving the trains, amout Of tonnage
transported, and absence Of accidents, afford
the best guarantee. The charges of tTanspor,
tation have been carefully considered and class
flied, and such rates adopted ss were necessary
to secure the local business, and afford fair
remuneration Tor the work done. The import
aHce Of discIi nlna:lDg in favor OF the depressed
condition OF the agricultural interest feloag the
lire OF the railroad with q view to It's future
improvement and development, has been fully
recognized, in the charges imposed. The tariff
Of rates On local freights will be found On
comparison to be lower than the charges OF
other RasiEroad Companies in the State. 1t
also appeared desirable to obtain as large an
amount of through business as possible, rot
only as source Of direct profit to the Com pany
but as also enabling it to transport local freights
upon cheaper terms AS the question Of
through frei ghts has been freely canvassed of
late, and excited 20 little public attention, it
becomes necessary 10 make some explanation
OF the policy OF the Company, and show how
Tar It's Interests are involved.
The Orange and Alexandria Railroad forms

Railroad, and the Baltimore and Ohio branch

THE PROSPECT IN BRADFORD.

During the past few days we have had
an opportunity of seeing and conversing
with many of the most intelligent Republl-
cans from all parts of the County, and the
universal testimony is, that never were the
people so thoroughly awakened to the i'm
portance of the coming election, are 80 uni
ted in their determination to rebuke at the
polls, the treachery of ANDREW JOHNSON, and
the insolent demands of the rebel leaders
We have made diligent inquiry to ascertain
if a single Republican, who has been CON
sidered reliable in the party, can be found,
who now approves the policy of ANDREW
JOHNSON. Such man does not live in Brad
ford County. The people are wide awake
as to the Importance of sustaining Con-
gress, and greatly excited and alarmed at
the recent outrages upon Southern Loyal
lists, and the reasonable scheme of the reb-
ell leaders. We can assure our friends
abroad that they will hear good report
from Bradford, on the 9th day of October.
We have entire unanimity of action, no To-
cal ascension agreviances,n no dissatisfaction
with our County ticket, but our people are
animated with strong determination to
roll up tremendous majority at the polls

THE PRESIDENT ANSWERED.

The President is travelling through the
country depositing the Constitution in the
hands of the people. Vermont last week
made the first response to the harangues
of this political traitor, by increasing the
Republican majority 5000 or more On
Monday, Maine spoke in thunder tones, by
electing the Republican State Ticket by a
majority of 10000, being an increase of
10000 over former majorities. These re-
suits are sure indication of the popular
feeling and point certainly to the over
whelming overthrow "My Policy" is to re.
ceive in the coming elections.

For Auditor ISAAC D SOPER of Burling.

For Auditor, ISAAC ID SOPER OF Burling-
ton, was also nominated by acclamation.
Mr.. SOPER-is one of the "boys in blue, y
having served with great credit in the 14lst
regiment His qualifications for the Office
of Auditor, are unquestionable, and the Sc
lection is good one in every respect
For Coroner, Capt ]. H. HURST, of Her
rick was nominated by acclamation. Capt.
H. having commanded a company. in the
5Oth regiment, served his country brave
ly, and bears upon his person the marks of
severe wounds received upon the battle
field
We are gratifed in being able to say,
with truth, that these nominations have
given unusual satisfaction. Of their cleo
toin, there of course, mo question, but what
is better still the election of candidates has
created no dissensions, and left behind no
feelings of disappointment. The ticket is
universally conceded to be good one, ju
diciously made, and will receive a general
endorsement at the polls.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.

On Monday last Hon. u MERcUR was
unanimously renominated for Congress, by
the Union Republican Convention of this
county.
1t is almost unnecessary for US to give
this circumstance more than a passing
notice, for his nomination for reelection
was demanded and expected by every Re-
publican voter, not only in the county, but
in the District. Long before Congress ad-
journed, the enemies of Freedom, suspect
ing and fearing this event, commenced a
warfare against Mr.. MERcUR, and since that
time have been engaged in the pleasant
pastime of defaming and slandering our
worthy member. The whole copperhead
press of the District have labored faith
fully, in this particular, and their energy
has been worthy better cause
The charges brought against Mr.. MER-
CUR is simply a re-hash of the old stereo-
typed cry raised against Mr.. WLMor,
years ago-nigger. Unable to find a sin
gle charge upon which to base a reasonable
cause for opposition, great Cry is made
about NEGRO suffrage" tnegro equality" +"
white mans government" &c,--questions
foreign to the matters at issue in the pres
ent campaign, and subjects which can in
no wise enter into the present canvass.
The question of negro suffrage has nothing
whatever to do With politics this fall, and
every rational man knows that Congress
has no power to make negro a voter in
Pennsylvania, and farther, that negro
cannot become a voter in this State until
the Constitution is amended, and that the
State Constitution cannot be amended only
once in five years, and that the last amend
ment was adopted in 1868, consequently it
is not subject to another amendment until
1869. Why give ourselves any uneasiness
about questions that cannot become pol.
ltlcal issue for two or three years to come
Better by far grapple with the issues of the
day, and settle them for the welfare and
happiness Of our beloved country
The record of Mr. MERcUR, while in Con-
gress, is before the people, and is subject
to the scrutiny and criticism of all. Let
any man take his official record and point
out the blunders and inconsistencies of Mr..
MERoUR's Congressional career. All the
charges the opposition have been able to
bring against him, are those cited above
not single one of which has shadow of
foundation. His record is clean and can
not be tarnished by his vile caluminators.
That MIR. MERCUR will receive the nomi-
nation OF the Conference there is no doubt.
Who his opponent will be we do not know,
but looks very probable now thai Judge

UNGENERoUs.--We understand that the
Copperheads have already informed Mr..
TRACY that he "cQnt run their machine. >
They say he has not brought any votes
with him to their ranks, and that he shall
not make them trouble, as he did the Re
publicans. Poor TRACY where will he go
next Perhaps the President, in considera-
ton for his eminent services will give him
foreign mission We recommend him for
the next vacant place
