A LITTLE TOO FAST.


On the 18th of April last, the Bed
ford Inquirer assumed its readers that
there would be ''no State Tar to pay. for
the gear 1867" We learn that, instead
of this being the case, there is nearly
$1,000 State Tax required from Bedford
county for 1867. 1t is true this Tax
will not, as heretofore, be assessed as
such, but will be included IN the assess
me1a Of County Idr. Thisis what might
be termed "whipping the devil around
the stump" 1t is an easy matter to
dispense with the State Tax, if the
sum asked for by the State, be paid
out of the County levy. but according
to our notion, it will make but little
difference to those who foot the bill,
whether they pay the $4,000 as county
Tax, or State Tax. We refer to this
matter only to show that the County
Tax for the present year will include
the State Tax.

CORRUPTION RECOMMENDED.

The Bedford Inquirer and many 9TH
er Radical sheets denOunce the late
Legislature, composed largely of men,
bers of their own party, as having been
the most corrupt and unprincipled body
that ever assembled at Harrisburg. In
fact they openly proclaim the disgrace
of their own principal men, the flower
of their own organization. Yet the In
q,tirer, after thus fully acknowledging
the monstrous rottenness of its party,
has the brazenness to ask the people of
Bedford county to trust their county Off
ces to its partizans! Why, if the coun-
ty officials would steal in the same pro-
portion as the Radical legislators whom
the Inquirer so justly denounces, there
wouldn't be one brick left upon another
in the County buildings within a year
from the date of the election Of such
officials. The Inquirer cannot ask us to
trust its partizans, after telling us that
''another such Legislature as the last
would sink us ~ Radical Commits
sioners and Poor Directors would hard
ly be an improvement upon Radical
Legislators

MONsTROUs ROBBERY FRUsTRATED

The Pittsburg Gazette, the leading
Radical organ of Allegheny county, in
a statement of the corrupt legislation
at Harrisburg, thus refers to one of the
bold robberies attempted at the last ses-
sion, and describes the mode in which
it was defeated:
"Talking, a few years ago, with a
noted lobbyist at Harrisburg, he frank
ly confessed he and his kind relieved
the Commonwealth of pretty much all
the property it had worth plundering.
During the past session a systematic
effort has been made to gather up and
carry off the fragments that remained,
and this endeavor has been crowned
with a large measure of success. If the
accounts are true, and ethink theyare
the bottom of the Treasury has been
cleaned Outanda round deficit left. Nor
is this all. An attempt was made to rob
the Sinking Fund of $800,000, for pre-
venting which the people seem to be
indebted to Mr.. Wallace, Chairman Of

DISCOVERY OF GREAT ELECTION
FRAUDS IN PHILADELPHIA.

The Philadelphia ECening Herald
announces the startling fact that it has
been discovered that at the election last
fall, the whole Democratic City Ticket
was elected by some thousands of a
majority. The Herald says there is "a
terrific row going on among the Radi-
calls of Philadelphia" and that some of
them are turning States evidence" in
regard to the frauds committed by their
party. II appears that the Democrats
hare been deliberately counted 0ut by the
scoundrels who officiated as election Of
ficers in that city. The Herald makes
the statement that "at the general cleo
ton last October all the officers of the
row, viz: Recorder of Deeds, Receiv-
er of Taxes, City Commissioner, Coron-
er, Clerk of the Quarter Sessions, and
the PrOthonotary of the District Court,
were elected by the Democrats, but
were ciphered out by the return judges.
Gen. Lyle was elected to the office of
Recorder by a majority of some thous-
andS of votes ~

HON. GEORGE SHARSWOOD AND THE
SUPREME BENCH.

1t has been stated in some quarters
that Judge Sharswood would not ac-
cept a nomination for Judge of the Su-
preme Court. We are authorized to
contradict this statement, and can say
that whilst the Judge does not seek the
nomination, he will not decline it, il
rendered him. We hope this fact will
be made generally known. We repeat,
what we have before said, that the
nomination of Judge Sharswood will
give us victory at the polls and integ-
rity and ability upon the Bench. This
is no time for clinging to favorites.
We want learned and upright men to
compose our Court of last resort, and
it, therefore, behooves US to look well to
the character of the man whom we Sc
lect as our candidate.

AN ATTEMPT To ROB THE STATE OF
SSOO,OO0!

When will the unfathomable rascali-
ty of the late Legislature be sounded
to its lowest depths? The Pittsburg
Gazette, the principal Radical daily in
Western Pennsylvania, says that an
attempt was made, in that body, "to
rob the Sinking Fund of 100000" and
the same paper adds, s'for preventing
this, the people seem to be indebted to
Senator Wallace, Chairman of the DEM
ocratic State Committee" What more
is wanted to damn to everlasting infa-
my the men who controlled the Legis-
lature? By the eadmission oftheir own
partizans, those men were robbers of the
treasury and their thieving was pre-
vented only by the vigilance of the
Democrats. Will the people return
such men as their representatives :?
That's the question.

A YOUNG LADY returning to her
country home, after sojourn of few months in
the city, was hardly recognized by her friends.
In place of a coarse rustic, flushed face, she had
a soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth
ness, and instead of twenty three she really ap-
peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause
of great a change, she plainly told them
that she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and con-
sidered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady
toilet. By its use any Lady or Gentleman can i'm
prove their personal appearance an hundred fold.

EXTEATPORANEOUS MARRIAGE.-A
somewhat singular matrimonial alli-
ance occurred at Sigel, Missouri, the
other day. A gentleman of that place
was engaged to young lady, the we'd
ing day was fixed and the guests invi-
ted. A few days before the nuptials
were to have been solemnized the faith
er and brother of the bridegroom, by
threats of disinheritance, persuaded
him to disappoint the expectant bride
and make himself invisible in the vi
cinity. The evening came, and at the
appointed time the wedding guests COL
lected at the hOuseof the brides moth
er, but the faithIess swain did not put
in an appearance. An hour had passed
and the bride and her friends were o.
verwhelmed with embarrassment and
modification. When all hope of a we'd
ding had vanished young gentleman
of the party, being captivated with the
beauty of the bride, and desirous that
the company should not be disappoin-
ted, proposed, was accepted and the
couple were accordingly married. The
guests were astOnished and delighted
and the bride and groom looked happy,

the Democratic State Committee. He
raised the point that by the plain words
of the Constitution, the revenues deri-
we'd from certain sources were pledged
to the liquidation of the public indebt-
edness, and could not be applied to
general purposes. This compelled a
cutting down of the financial budget,
which looked to the expenditure of
81 100000 more than the estimated in
come"
The course of Mr.. Wallace, in this
instance, says the Erie Observer, will
endear him still more strongly to the
Democrats of this State, and should re-
commend him to the favor of men of
all parties. When man can boldly
stand up in the midst of the corruption
which is admitted by everybody to
have prevailed at Harrisburg, and de-
fend the interests of the people in such
manner as to draw forth an acknOwl-
edgement like theabove from political
enemy, it shows that he possesses an
innate sentiment of honesty such as we
all hope to find in our public officials,
but, alas, are too often disappointed in
the expectation
1t must be matter of qualification to
our party friends, that with the many
denunciations of their leaders in this
State, no whisper of suspicion has ever
been uttered against their character for
integrity. During Mr.. Clymer's long
career in the Senate, with the most in
famous legislative debauchery surroun-
ding him, he preserved an unstained
reputation, and amid the heat of the
canvass last year, with the hundreds of
charges heaped upon him, not one was
coined alleging or even intimating any
doubts as to his personal purity. After
his retirement, Mr.. Wallace became the
OClHOCldClC. IGducI, anu II6 dCU dUONG
recited affords the best illustration of
his fitness for the position. His hon
esty is freely conceded by those who
would be most prompt to detect and
expose even the slightest step outside
of the legitimate conduct of public
official, and whatever assaults may be
made upon his political course, none
deny to him the loftiest attributes Of a
faithful, vigilant and incorruptible
statesman. The time is coming when
these facts will be appreciated by the
people, and the men who have stood
sternly by their duty, regardless of the
Establishments of public thieves, or the
clamors against their patriotism raised
by those who sought in that way to
keep their own vile deeds from being
brought to light, will receive that re-
ward which their Legislative and pri-
vate merits so richly entitle them to.

the announcement of the death of A.
w. Benedict, Esq, of Huntingdon,
which occurred at his residence, in that
place, on Sunday last. Mr.. Benedict
has been Chief Clerk of the House OF
Representatives, at Harrisburg, since
the session of 1864, and, we believe,
filled the same Office once before. He
died, we understand, ofErysipelas.
