easy it would have been to furnish argu-
ment TO the Tribune which would have

word inscribed on the greenbacks, the

those who think with him, without
shred Of plausible argument. If Gen.
Buffers doctrine is as psrnicious as the
Tribune declares il 10 be, why was there
not forecast enough to shut the door
against it 3?
1t is but a day or two since the Tribune
praieess Hir. Chase as our most accom-
rlished financier since Hamilton. Bat
how could so great 3 genius for finance
have left open this yawning gap through
which. by the TFf5uleis own showing
there flows annually fifty millions OF
wasted treasure, when the insertion OF

fivs-twenties in coin, why did he not so
draw the statute as to leave thepoint free
from doubt? The Tribune would not then
be driven to "Paley's Moral Philosophy"
for arguments to supply the acknowl-
edged silence Of the law on point
deemed vital to the public cIedit. 1t is
Mr.. Chase, not Gen. Butler, that Is
shaking public conideneei for Gen. But
Ier is merely exposing Mr.. Chase's tinsn-
cial arrangements. His "system" is a
chaos of contradictions, of which it Is as
easy to prove one thing as another Of its
elashing parts. We could point out other
inconsistencies equally gross but those
now exposed will suffice for the present.
If Mr.. Chase is run for President, we can
promise that his financial renOwn will be
pretty thoroughly riddled.

Was the War Right Z?

This is the whole issue before US, stripped
of all incidental and outside matter. If 1t
was, we do not want and will not have its
effects and consequences construed away.
This is now the objective point toward which
the Democrats are tending under the lead of
Judge Back, and to this end they are at
tempting to fill onr courts with lawyers of
of the strict or Calhoun construction school.
Woodward tried to construe away the draft.
Sharswood attempted to constrne away our
national currency Black boldly decided
that the nation had no power to defend its
own life. So it goes. Step by step they
undermine all that we have been living and
fighting for since l776, and if let alone in
short time would have US epudiating ev-
cry idea or sem blance of nationality. These
men, too, are conscientious in their heresy.
Calhoun could not have been more so, and
therein is the great danger. If we believe
that our war was right, that our soldiers
died in good cause, and that our bayOnets
cleaned through Georgia constituttonally,
then we must avoid yea, spurn all men who
conscientiously believe the war to have been
wrong, and pronounce it, when they would
excuse it, an error and mistake There is
no half way ground on this question. You
must vote for Williams and constitutional
war, or Sharswood and an unconstitutional

From the Bellefonte Watchman.

Nor GUIITY.-The trial of VIM. Gaha-
gan of this place, charged with the larceny
IF tombstones, from the Cemetery, showed
a different case entirely when the facts were
brought out before a jury, from the newspa-
ner reports The whole case when simmer
ed down amounted to simply this: Gahagan
had been instructed to clean pair of tomb
stones that were in the Cemetery, and mis-
taking the name, took the wrong ones,
which tCerc returned Immediately, on learn
ing that the mistake was made. Six weeks
dfterwards he was arrested on the charge of
stealing the tombstones, that he had brought
away and returned as soon as he had ascer-
tsined that they were the wrong ones. The
following communication In regard to the
matter, we give cheerfuHy, although deny
ing the imputatien that the Watchnsan cir
euated the report throughout the country :
Mr. MEEK Some weeks ago you made
mention in your paper Of the charge that
had been preferred against VIM. Gahagan,
accusing him of having stolen tomb stones
from the Cemetery at this place. Since
then VIM. Gahagan has been tried in the
Court of Quarter Sessions and acquitted of
the charge. There was not particle of
evidence tending to show guilt on the part
of the young man, and the injury that has
been done his character throughout the
country, by the circulation Of the report
through the IFatcI,D,dn and the Press should
now be repaired through the same channels
1t will be but simple act of justice to VIM.
Gshagan and his friends, which | feel as
sured you will not refuse him, for you to tell
the people that he was not guilty of the
horrible crime that was laid to his charge
The whole transaction was the result of an
i'll feeling existing between the prosecutors
and VIM. Gahagan for which VIM. Gaha-
gan was not responsible.
There are people whose chief delight is in
slandering their neighbors- have a
cuteneous peii6aaat for mischief-tha are
always ready to pass rumers on, with slight
additions of their own, until simple rumor
soon becomes horrible tale, and thus it is
that the fairest characters are DETAINED by
pcop!e-the most unworthy. Once traduced
every one seems to think themselves at
liberty-to defame and vlllify without re-
straint. Every one has his put as the story
goes round-like poor dog, he is kicked
by each one as he passes, until clear out Of
the bounds of all society. But in VIM
Gahagan's case, now let the story stop.
Twelve men upon their oaths, after hearing
all the facts, have said that he is innocent,
and by their verdict have pronounced the
story slanderous tale. JUSTICE.

4 SNAKE SToRy.-The Newark Ohio
An,efcan says: I'VE are in possession of
the facts relative to snake story, which
we're it not for the character of the voucher,
but few would incline credible ear to them
On last Sabbath morning as Samuel Pres
ton, Abner Belt, James Belt and Abraham
Whetmore were walking on the farm of VIII
liam Campbell, two miles southeast of Utica,
and near the residences of Samuel Preston
and Abraham Whetmore, they saw a snake
crawling into log. They demolished the
log and killed his snakeship, and their search
for more was rewarded by finding nest with
snake in it. After killing this snake they
turned their attention to the eggs in the
nest, Of which there were seventy-fve.
The eggs were carefully broken, and in each
was found two snakes about ready to
crawl out. The snakes killed were of the
ccopperhead species, and some twelve inches
in length Washington township is bad
place for copperheads.

An INDIAN ULTIMATUM. M.-Iron Shells, a
leading chief of the Sioux, has recently made
speech to the peace commissioners, in
which he lays down the uttimdt,tm. He
says: IF the Great Father will take away
the soldiers and leave us the traders We want,
We shall be happy and the weather will be
good again. He must take away all the
railroads his people have built in my coun-
ny This is my country. 1t does not be-
long to you. We will not live where you
Want us to; we will stay here and fight, and
lske all the scalps we ean,' The explosion
Of this Shell effectually broke up the
poSWew. The commission Immediately ad-
!osrned across the Missouri river, and begin

Gen. Sheridan at st. Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 9.-The demonstration
| tonight in honor of Gen Sheridan was the
largest outpouring of the people ever wit
messed in the city. The torch-light process
sion was nearly two miles long, and consisted
OF over twenty posts of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and large number of colored
organizations, the representatives of the
various wards of the city, the fire depart
ment, and an immense throng of citizens
generally.
The procession was nearly an hour filing
past the Southern Hotel, on the east balcony
of which Gen. Sheridan, his staff officers,
the members of various committees and in
vited guests, were stationed. The crowd at
and in the vicinity Of the hotel, after the
procession had passed, must have numbered
ten thousand people. and the number on the
streets on the line of march, could not have
been less than from twenty thousand to
thirty thousand
After the enthusiasm of the crowd had
subsidized, Lieut.. Gov. Smith delivered a
short but very cordial welcome to the Gen
eral on behalf Of the people of the State,
which was followed by very eloquent ad-
dress by Gen. Carl Schurz, in which he re-
ferred to Sheridan as the model American
soldier, the hero of many battle fields the
representative American chivalry. the states
man as Wen us the SOlulef 10 WHOM Clc pco-
pie Of Louisiana and Texas will hereafter
look with gratitude and esteem as the man
who opened the way to permanent peace
and prosperity.
General Sheridan then stepred forward
and repl ed as follows:
Il presume you all know | never make
speeches. [ regret exceedingly that | am
unable TO make you one to night; but this
kind welcome has been unexpected by me
entirely, and | can only return my sincere
thanks for your enthusiastic and kind wei
come. y
A few remarks were afterwards made by
Gen. Pile, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
In point of numbers, enthusiasm, and gen
era warm and hearty sympathy, many OF
the Oldest citizens say this demonstration
has never been equalled in ST. Louis. From
eleven to one clock to-day the General re-
ceived visitors at the hotel: and the crowd
of callers was almost incessant The Sen.
will leave for Leavenworth to morrow after
noon.

Juarez has ordered general election for
President, Congressman and Justices of the
Supreme Court. The Judicial Office in Mex
leo is of great political significance, the Chief
Justice taking the Presidential chair in case
of a vacancy during the term, which, in
that unquiet country, is the rule and not
the exception. Almost all the leading
statesmen of Mexico, ,Juarez included, have
tecn at some time chief justices of the en-
pire, kingdom, or republic; and it is on a
succession of this nature that Ortega now
claims the Presidency

President Johnson 5 amnesty proclama-
ton is repudiated by all the New York pa
pers except the World, and that paper does
not say word about it. The Herald calls
upon Johnson to resign, the Tribune ably
exposes his defiance of the laws of Congress,
and the Times denounces his proclamation
as an executive usurpation' 'only short
of dictatorship. This is fair index of
public sentiment in regard to the last afro
city of the Accident in the Presidential chair
