The METERS. ."-The og-catchers y
were out yesterday in full force, and made
considerable headway. At an early hour
the cage-cart" was filled with CANNES,
and the tidings that they were about pro-
duced considerable CONSERVATION among
the owners of dogs. A little girl on Fourth
street struggled most heroically for the
salvation of pet poodle, and only saved
the "dear little creature" by running at
full speed from the market-place to her
home. A minute later, and the animal
would have been gone, for the " netters
were in full view and about to pounce
upon their prey. Those who may miss
"Tray, Blanche, or. Sweetheart" this
morning from their accustomed place
about the yard or house would do well tc
repair to the dog pound, if they value their
animals.

THE CONTROL OF THE FEDERAL
PATRONAGE.

Some people imagine tSat the DEM
ocratic party, during the late political
canvass, had under its control the pa
tronage of the Federal Government
This is a most absurd mistake. Why,
in Pennsylvania, more than one-ha!f
the Federal Offices are at this day filed
by opponents Of the Democracy. The
halfway policy which removed Rad
icaI here and retained another there,
was neither originated nor approved by
Democrats. The latter had nothing to
expect from Mr.. JOhnson's admins
tration, and when his public policy
commended itself to their approval,
they only asked that he should stand
by his friends, if any he had, in the
Republican" party. They hoped for
the removal of all oftice-holderS who
antagonised the political doctrines of
the President, but they did not expect
the vacancies to be filled by Democrats.
Nor was any Democrat appointed toany
place in the gift of the Federal Admin
istration, except in case no suitable
conservative Republican" could be
found to fill it. True, Gen. Coffroth was
appointed Assessor for this district, but
his il an exceptional case, and we think
he was appointed because of Presiden-
tiaI gratitude for his vote on the Con-
stutional Amendment abelishing sla-
very. Had the Democracy of Pennsyl-
vania been given the unqualified con-
troll of the Federal patronage, the Grad
icals" would have been routed at the
late election. But we do not complain.
We only hope that different policy
will prevail in the future AS things
are at present, Democrats are made to
carry the blame for all removals and
appointments, when, in fact, they are
responsible for but few OF them. If
we are to have "the blame," let us also
have ''the game"

MESsRs. MEYERS & MENGEL =
Thinking few lines from this county
might be acceptable to you, will give
you some items. The oil well at our
neighbOring town Of WellerSburg, Pa,
is down $50 feet. The last 80 feet was
solid rock and took four months regu-
lar drilling. Now the rock is softer
and works easier. The last month the
indications of oil have been good. Not
withstanding all the bad luck which
impeded their progress of boring, the
Company are in the best of spirits and
are determined to find more oil if they
must put the well down fifteen humid
red feet. Success to the oil men!
There is great excitement in this
community owing to a report that an
abundance of silver ore has been dis
covered, near Wellersburg, OH the "sun
side" of Savage Mountain. A Mr..
Jones bought fifty acresof land in that
vicinity. some two years ago, upon
which the ore is said to have been
found. 1t is reported that Mr.. Jones
has taken out some Of it and sent it to
the Mint, where it has been pronoun-
ced good silver. They are at work
daily, and have been hauling bone and
other material for trying the ore on
the ground. They will not allow any
one to come near but the hands en-
ployed. Success to Jones!
A new stone Machine Shop, $50 feet
by 100 feet, with slate roof, has been
erected at Mt. Savage. The engine
shop is 100 feet by so feet, and two sto
ries high. A new clearinghouse, 100
feet by about 40 feet, four stories high,
with ninety rooms has also been late
ly built at that place. Rolling Mills,
Furnaces and shops are being put in
condition for full operations.
A dreadful accident occurred near
Barton, Nd, on Friday, 18th inst.
The engine Of a coal train upset, whilst
running at full speed, killing the engi-
neer and his little son and a man by
the name of Barcus. Three others
were so badly hurt tha THEIR recov-
cry is said to be impossible.
Respectfully yours,

AN ORIENTAL MAXIM.

A quaint philosophy of the East
speaks as follows: "Ifa man knows,
and knows what he knows, he will lead
a happy life. If he does not know, and
knows that he does not know, he will
lead tolerable life. But if he does not
know, and does not know that he does
not know, he will lead wretChed life"
The first is applicable to our worthy
President and all whosupport hissound
Union policy. The second is true of
the Radical office-holders. The third
applies to the fellows who blindly fol-
low the lead of Stevens & Co., and vote
the Mongrel ticket.

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.-The war
on the River Plate has, for some time
been taking a turn specially unfavora-
bic to Brazil. There are indications
that there may be still greater troubles
in store for the South American En-
pire. Paraguay has long been in nego-
tiation with Bolivia for the conclusion
of an alliance, and the last mail brings
a report that treaty, offensive and de
fensive, has been concluded, according
to which Bolivia will supply to Para
quay contingent of $500 men, carry
the war into Brazil, and, if possible, re-
publicanize that country. If this re-
port should be confirmed Brazil will
find it exceedingly difficult, if not i'm
possible, to defend its Western Provin-
ces, the only communication with
which in former years was by rivers
now made impossible by the guns of
the Paraguayans. 1t is also confirmed
that both the Presidents of the Argen-
tine Republic and Uruguay are power
less to aid any longer in carrying on
the war. The latter may any moment
be unseated by his opponents at home
and the former is even said to be fa-
vorable to the alliance between Para
quay and Bolivia.

1t is enough to know that he did break
it. The fact is that he is incapable of
fidelity to any thing, or any body. The
very fact that he publicly and in the
most solemn manner declared himself
in favor of the Presidents policy, at
the same time announcing that he
would not, in the future, discuss the
measures of the Federal Government,
and afterwards took the stumpin Oppo-
sition to the Presidents policy and in
favor of the opposite doctrine, is con-
elusive proof of this assertion. His
treachery to the Democratic Senators
in regard to the "deserter bill, throws
additional light upon this hideous gap
in the moral character of the man.
We might also call upon the stand at
least dozen of the prominent Radicals
in this State, who would be compelled,
if they spoke the truth, to testify to the
faithlessness we charge upon him. Nay,
we can prove by Gov. Curtin's admis-
sion, over his own signature, that he
proved false to his promise to Francis
Jordan, ESQ.,, to make the latter AttOr-
ney General, during the first three
years of his administration, and that
while the Governor acknowledged his
faithIessness, in this instance, he also
admitted that he himself did not know
why he did not keep his promise to
Mr.. Jordan. But, let us drop the cur
tain. We have no personal objections
to the Governor. We only wish it to
be understood that we don't believe he
can be trusted by any party.

THE BARGAIN AND SALE ~ THE
LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS FOR
THIS DISTRICT.

1t will be remembered that when the
MOngrel cOnferees Of this Representa-
tive and Senatorial district met in this
place, last summer, to nominate candi-
dates for Representatives and Senator,
there was hitch in their proceedings,
which lasted until Simon Cameron,
who was thenat the Springs, arrived in
town. The presence Of old Winnebago
Immediately cut the Gordian knot.
Richards, Weller and Stutzman were
nominated. We said, at the time, that
the nominations had been corruptly
made, and we are now sus aimed in that
opinion, by the leading Mongrel paper
in this section of Pennsylvania, the
Franklin Repository, edited by A. X.
Mcclure. Mr.. Mcclure says that he
has "seen some of the important papers
arising from the sale" We transfer
his article entire, and ask our "Repub-
lican" friends to read it with care, and
then say whether we didn't speak tru-
ly when we told them that they We're
"sold as sheep in the shambes." The
RepoStory's article is as follows:
THE Fulton Republican seemsto have
been embraced in the general purchase
made by Simon Cameron when the
Senatorial and legislative nominations
were made in that district, and is part
of the property delivered. The contract
to deliver the Representative to Cam
erOn by a few purchaseabIe politicians
will be somewhat difficult, although
the Republican is struggling earnestly
to clear the way for it. The misfortune
is that Messrs. Richards and Weller
have to return 10 the People and pass
the ordeal Of the ballot next fall, and
should they vote for Cameron, as they
have been pledged for a consideration
by few spectators, they must share
the odium of the purchase and would

Tn Washington Republican of yester-
day says:
We learn that Judge Wayne, of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
will, under the recent decision of that
tribunal against the right Of military
commissions to try citizens not in the
military or naval service, issue writ
by which DR.. Mudd, one of the assas-
sin conspirators, will be removed from
confinement at the Dry Tortugas and
brought before a civil tribunal for trial.
Similar writs may issue in the cases Of
Spangler, Arnold and Langhlin, the
other conspirators confined there.

THE GALAXY.-This new candidate
for public favor, is rapidly increasing
in popularity. The Philadelphia Le
gal Lntelljgencer thus speaks of the De-
cember number of this work: The
present number completes the second
volume, and greatinducements are of
fered for the coming year. 1t is pub
lished, as every one knows, fortnight
ly, and will be increased sixteen pages
in size. An able corps of writers keep
it tbrimful Of interesting and useful read
ing matter, and the catholicity Of its
taste commend it to every liberal and
high minded reader. Among the gems
Of the present number is d powerful
story by Mrs. r. H. Davis, (author of
Margaret Howth,) entitled the cap
tain's Story" wherein the deepest psy-
Geological truths are illustrated by
thrilling narrative. The publishers
announce that in January they will
commence new novel by this gifted
author, "Waiting for the Verdict"
It will depict many interesting phases
of American Life, and is announced as
"by far the most complete, elaborate,
thoughtful and ambitious effort Of its
author" We shallperuse it with great
interest. Every one remembers the
pathos and vigOr Of Margaret HoWth,
in which the authGr takes for her hero
inc one. whose little life scarcely soar
ed beyond her erery-day tasks, but
who acts and suffers sany being might
be proud to act and suffer. We recall |
with pleasure the keen analysis of char
acter that that unique work unfolded |
to us. Are we to have another such |
vivid picture? If SO, it will be the
brightest star in this mundane Galaxy.
The interesting tale, Archie Lowell, is
concluded. "The Claverings," grows
in interest. The minor tales, sketches |
and "nebula," are worthy of perusal |
and merit commeldation. AltOgeth-
er the enterprising publishers have oc-
casiOn to be proud of their successful
enterprise.
