The Radicals of 1867 forced the ne
groes into the cars. The Radicals of
1868 will force them into the publ
schools. The Radicals of 1866 fixed the
rate of taxation at four dollars and added
one and half millions to the city debt
The Radicals of 1867 have made the tax
equivalent to four dollars and twenty cents.

buying house, and was proceeding home,
about O'clock, when she was seized bv
couple OF men just as she was getting off
the street cars, opposite her residence, and
held by one while the other robbed her of
the money and ran, The passengers at
once gave pursuit, and captured the man
who held the lady, but the thief with the
money escaped.
In the town of Kendall, Y. Y, there
are four churches in a state of tolerable

has gone wholly TO decay. Only one of

the preachers did, and is now as g dead

RENE BER

! Remember, Democrats, that full turn
out in Pennsylvania will elect Judge Shars-
wood to the Supreme Bench, and give us
Judge that will decide according to the
Constitution and the laws, and not seek
for the opinion of the politicians before he
decides.
EememGer that the success of the Dem
cratic ticket secures restoration of the
Union to its original integrity, when every
department of government will move on in
its appropriate sphere, as was the case be-
fore radicalism unsettled the country.
Remember that with the success Of tile
Democratic party, we shall have reduc-
ton Of the National aud State debt. de-
crease of taxation, and a return TO the
good old times of honesty and economy.
Remember that the Alieg lania,, and the
Tri6Hne, and other Radical organs, have
admitted the last Radical Legislature was
the most corrupt body of men that ever
assembled in Pennsylvania.
Remember that Thaddeus Stevens leads
the radical party, and that he admits that
they have been acting, for several years,
entirely E'outside of the Constitution. "
Remember that if the radicals are sue
cessful in the coming elections, Pennsyl-
vania will be deprived Of the right of max
ing her own election laws, and the Rump
Congress will impose Negro Suffrage upon
Pennsylvania.
Remember that full turn out in Cam
bria county elects the whole Democratic
ticket by large majority.
Remember that the election of single
radical will weaken the future career of
the Democratic party, and will be used as
an argument in favor of Negro Suffrage
Remember that no Democrat ever
scratches a name on the Democratic ticket
without feeling regret and sorrow for it

JUDGE SHARSWOOD.

The fight for Sharswood goes on brave
ly. New friends are every day coming
forward in his support. His learning,
capacity and fitness for the office are con-
stantly increasing the number of those
who will cast their votes for him ON the
day of the election. His defeat is impos-
sible, and intelligent Republicans have
secretly given up the contest as hopeless.
Among the signs of the times may be
mentioned the fact that the celebrated
orator and lawyer, David Paul Brown,
has written n most able pamphlet, ad
dressed TO all parties in Pennsylvania,
advocating the election of Judge Shars-
wood. MIR. Brown says he is Republi
can. and always has been one. He
admits that Hon Henry w. Williams is
a graduate of Yale College, and native
of Connecticut but adds, it is sufficient
answer on that score, that Judge Shars-
wood is a native of Philadelphia, and
graduated with high honor at the Univcr-
sity of Pennsylvania. Of Judge Williams
he says:
eve do not deny that he was elected
Judge of Allegheny county, in the year
| 1861, without organized opposition. But
what does all this amount to =? To DO more
! than can be said of a dozen Judges of the
various Courts of the State of Pennsylvania.
! How little is all this to the practical proof
of the uuquestioned and unduubted compe>
tency Of Judge Sharswood ? No man, | sup
pose. will for a moment pretend that there
could be any comparison between the rival
candidates not that we disparage Mr.. Will
laIns, but no man, with all his opportuni>
ties and qualifications, could reasonably be
expected to possess those claims to the office
which are fully accorded to the accumulated
learning and approval of more than twenty
years.
The first question then should be, who

ELECTION DAY.

Before another number of the Freeman
reaches its readers the great battle will be
3ought. anG, if Democrats do their whole
duty, a victor won. We hope our friends
will bear with uz in q few words of ear
nest entresty.
Cambria cout. ty has always been as
true to her principle. rs her own eyerlast-
ing hills 10 the bases OF which they rest
In all the fres Of adversely by which her
gallant sons have been tn ed, they have
never Edtered. While otherA' have been
recreant they have been true, a nd what
ever tale the ballot-box of other L'ountles
has told, the morning after the eIe Htlon
has always given us figures Of which we
never had cause to be ashamed
And now, with triumph within our
reach-with victory ready TO perch upon
our banner-wiil any Democrat faiter in
the performance of his whole duty Will
any true Democrat think of any other ob-
Ject than the triumphant election of the
whole ticket? Will any one deface the
ticket by erasing q single name from his
ballot?
Let every Democrat remember that we
all, as Democrats, have been common
sufferers from the tyranny of RadIcalism,
and that now, when a brighter day is
dawning upon us, is the last time we
should think of giving said and comfort
to the enemy.
Let US, then, make a manly struggle,
worthy Of ourselves, for the whole Demo
cratic ticket. We require no words of
abuse for our dissenting friends. They
have right to their opinions, and many
of them entertain them honestly. Many
others of them, however, are willing to
umph which is to cover our victorious arms
on Tuesday next
Let US, then, while we press on for the
success of the State ticket, not forget our
duty to the county ticket. Let US not,
while we toast Judge Sharswood elected,
nave our Joy dampened by single defeat
on our county ticket but let our joyous
exultations be for an increased majority
Tor the county ticket, while at the same
time the gallant old Commonwealth is re-
deemed.

SCHENCK's SEAwEED ToNIc-This medi-
cine. invented by Dr. J. H. Schenck of Phil
adelphIa, is intended 10 dissolve tho food and
make it into chyme. the first process Of di-
gestlon. By cleansing the stomach with
Schenck'S Mandrake Pills, the Tonic soon
restores the appetite. and food that could
not be eaten before using it will be easily
digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck's
Pulmouic Syrup unless the stomach and liver
is made healthy and the appetite restored,
hence the Tonic and Pills arc required in
nearly every case of consumption. A half
dozen burtleS of the Seaweed Tonic and three
or four boxes of the Mandrake Pills will cure
any ordinary case of dyspepsia.
Dr. Schenc& makes professional visits in
New York, Boston, and at his principal Of
fee in Philadelphia every week. See daily
papers in each place, or his pamphlet on con-
sumption, for his days Of visitation

LIKE THEM.

The Radicals in Philadelphia refused to
nominate a single soldier upon their ticket,
after all their professions Of love for the
soldier.
In Cambria county the RAIDS. can only
elect single candidate-the Jury Com
missioner. For this Office they nominated
a civilian, while for those Offices which
ihere is no prospect of carrying, they
nominated soldiers

THE Bedford Gazette thus illustrates the
working of the Radical law forcing negroes
into the cars with white men:
A friend of ours relates that as he was
travelling from Philadelphia to Huntingdon,
4 few nights ago, he took berth in a sleeping
car, and when about retiring, his attention
was attracted by loud talking and scuffiing
on the platform of the car. Proceeding to
the scene of the disturbance, he discovered
huge male negro in controversy with one OF
the railroad officials about obtaining berth
in the sleeping car. The ticket agent had
refused to sell the darkey a ticket, and the
colored gentleman was trying to force his
way irto the car without the req uisite piece
of stamped pasteboard. \ policeman came
up, however, and settled the business, by
telling the ticket agent under the law, II lie
refused to sell the negro berth ticket, on
account of color, he would be amendaoie TO
a fiue of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, and sChJect
TO pay the ike sum TO the negro upon an dc-
ton for debt! This had the desired effect,
and the African was handed the coveted
ticket. 1t so happened, however, that but
one berth vas vacant, and that was halt OF
double berth partly occupied by white
mau. The negro divested himself of hat,
boots, coat and vest, and proceeded to APP
propriate his half OF the double berth. The
white man, who had been doing, turned
around, looked at the newcomer, rubbed his
eyes. looked aglin, and then came such
kicking, tumbling. sprawling, and mixture
of white and black generally, as would have
done any amalgamationist'S heart good.
About this time the conductor appeared
upon the scene, and the result was that the
negro, with ticket in Land, tumbied INTO
bed. whilst the white man, growing anathe-
mas at the party he himself had helped to
place in power, doggedIy put on his clothes
and went forward to sit with wrenched back
and cramped legs, in the passenger car, ru-
minating over the beauties of Radical legls-
lation.
When this negro bill was under consid
Grafton, Mr.. Boyle, Democrat, of Fayette
county, offered the following amendment
as u new section:
SECTION 3. Prorided That nothing here
in contained shall be held to compel the adj
mission Of negroes into cars set apart for
ladies, or into berths for sleeping cars.
Thirty-six Democrats voted for this sec
tiCn, and fty-one Radicals against it.
Thus the section was defeated, and negroes
can now force themselves into cars set
apart for ad,t,.S, or into sleeping cars. Will
white mer support party which thus
insults their wives a.7d children ?-Agc.

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY The Rad
ical Republicans claim to be the party OF
progress. The party certainly merits the
title. 1t began by insisting that slavery
should not be admitted into the unorgan-
lied territories of the United States.
Having forced a civil war on that issue, it
then abolished slavery in the Southern
States. Its next step was to create a
Freedman's Bureau, by means of which,
at an expense of sixty odd millions of
dollars year, negroes are supported and
educated at the expense of white men,
who are obliged to take care of themselves
and their children without any such aid of
National Government And now, the
same Republican party, which is running
the prosperity Of thirty odd millions of
white people for the benefit of four mil
lions of blacks, cries aloud for negro suf-
frage in all the States of the Union and
the equality of negroes in the public
schools, the jury box, the State LegisIa-
lures and Congress. This is progress
with vengeance. But is it progress in
the right direction = Sunday Mercury.

A few days ago Mrs. Reitt returned to
this city, and last evening, at the house of
Mrs Augustus Smith, her sister, she and
Louis became reconciled, and agreed to get
JOB Ross to sell off their furniture and leave
for some new home Louis had some mon
ey in the hands of Mr.. Smith, and he told
him to let his wife have money to buy clothes
for him, which was done, and she purchased
the articles he needed.
This morning, about an hour before the
suicide, he was met on Front street, by Mr..
Glenn. who talked with him. He was then
going towards the Coal Valley depot. 1t is
believed that his friends had ridiculed him
for having made up with his wife, and that,
to escape further trouble, he drowned him
self.
Mr.. Cropper called on Mr.. Pfoh, where
Louis worked, and found that the large key
fitted his door. His slippers were in his
room and his boots gone. They went to the
bank of the river and found the tracks lead
ing into the water-the tracks were small
and delicate like the boots he wore.
There can be little doubt that louis has
drowned himself
1t is said that he had $3.50 on deposit in
bank here.
He was steady, faithful, honest and in
dustrious man.

of almost marble smoothness, and instead of
twenty three she really appeared but eighteen
Upon inquiry to the cause of so great a change,
she plainly told them that she used the CIR

liable acquisition to any lady's toilet. By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple in its
combination, as nature herself is simple, yet un-
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
from, also healing, cleansing and identifying the
skin and complexion. By its direct action on
