4 sNUG ARRANGEMENT.

From the Gettysburg StdT, we copy
the following item which will perhaps,
be of interest to certain democratic
politicians of this district. If the
gentlemen in the ring can manage
their respective counties, they will be
able to control the democratic nOmina-
ton for Congress, to the disappOint-
ment, not only Of George a. Smith,
Esq, of Fulton county, but also of the
Hons. +. M. Kimmel, of Franklin,
and A. III. COffrOth of this county,
both of whom we are told are aSpirants
for that position.
"We understand that a ring has
been formed to effect the election of
William A. Wallace as Mr.. BuckaleW's
successor in the U. S. Senate, in case of
COpperhead ascendency next year.
The same ring propose to make b. F.
Meyers, of Bedford, Chairman of the
State Committee next year. This is
to soothe him for the defeat of his hope
of being their candidate for Congress
in this district-which is to be given to
William McSherry, Esq, of this
county, although George a. Smith,
Esq, of Fulton, will press for the nOmi-
nation on the ground that Fulton, one
of The steadiest COpperhead counties in
the District, has been overlooked so long.
Franklin county is to supply their can
didate for State Senate in the person
of Calvin NJ. Duncan, Esq, who was
defeated three years ago. He hopes to
have better luck this time.
eff you want news concerning your
household, go away from home" Of
this proverb the above article which
we find in the Somerset Herald of last
week, is capital illustration. The
''ring" which is to make us chairman
of the State Committee must have
taken our radical friends, Mcpherson
and Scull, into its confidence, rather
than ourself upon whom its favOrs are
to be bestowed 4; for, before we read the
article printed above, we were in bliss
full ignorance of the existence of so gen.
erous and discriminating body as the
''ring" aforesaid. But, we suspect
that these gentlemen, (the editors of
the Gettysburg Star and the Somerset
Hey'Gld) really desire our advancement,
and in their anxiety to assist us, have
drawn slightly upon their imagination.
We are, of course, obliged to them for
"bringinguS out" asacandidate for Con-
gress, especially, as, in case Of our losing
the nomination, we are to be "so0thed"
with the chairmanship of the State
Committee But, lest our radical
friends should become too much con-
cerned for our success, we will say
right here, that we have nothing to do
with any ''ring," clique, or combina
tiOn, in regard to the nomination for
Congress; we are for the man who
can give your radical candidate the
soundest drubbing, and, above all, we
are for no man who needs any 'sooth-
ing" after the nomination. Gentle
men, don't fret your gizzards! By the
time you fill the hungry maws of your
own office-seekers in this Congressional
district John Cessna Ell al you will be
! glad to drop the subject.

FIRST GIN FOR 1865.

The borough of Columbia, Lancaster
county, has heretofore been intensely
Radical. But the other day the Dem
ocrats turned the tables upon their Op-
ponents and carried their ticket by a
handsome majority This is a hopeful
sign and shows that the great political
revolution which is now sweeping over
the country, has reached even the
stronghold of the King of the Radicals,
the home of Old Thad. himself.

The RAIDS are contesting the seat of
Senator Shugert, of the Centre district,
on the ground that "Deserters" voted
for him. They know that the Su-
preme Court has decided that no man
can be lawfully deprived of his right
to vote, as "Deserter," unless he shall
have been tried, convicted, and sem
fenced to Acknowledgement, by a prop
er tribunal. Yet they presume to
take the law into their own hands, in
order to oust Mr.. Shugert and give his
seat to one of their own party. John
Cessna. of this place, is engaged in the
dirty work of trying to chlseL Mr..
Shugert out of his seat. He came
home the other day, and was scarcely
out of the coach until he proclaimed
upon the street that he had "gOt the
kind of committee to suit him." We
want the gentlemen composing that
committee to know that Cessna thinks
he carries them in his breeches-pock
offs

A SECRET ORGANIZATION known
as the ''Grand Army of the Republic"
which is made up of boss politicians,
suffers and camp-folIOwers, is now en-
gagged in nominating Gen. Grant for
the Presidency. We suggest that
they take Lee, or Johnston, or some
other rebel general whom Grant got
President Johnson to pardon, as their
candidate for Vice President. AS
the redoubtable Radicals appear to be
ready to swallow any quantity of con-
servative dirt, they certainly could not
object to pardOned rebel, especially
if Grant had him pardoned.

Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette
HARRISBURG, Jan. IL, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR On Tuesday last, both
houses of the legislature assembled, and
the Senate at once organized by the e.
lection of Mr.. Graham, of Allegheny,
as speaker, and G. w. Hamersly, of
Philadelphia, as Chief Clerk. The
House, however, upon all attempt to
effect an organization, found itself at a
dead lock, nine of the Radical men,
bers refusing to support the caucus
nominee, Mr.. E. w. Davis, of Phila-
delphia. The difficulty arose from the
fact that Mr.. Davis past record is very
bad on the railroad question, he having
invariably voted-for the measures of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
AID having figured conspicuously and
not very creditably, in the well-known
Tonnage Tax Investigation. The Dem
Ocrats voted for r. l.. Jones, Esq, of
Berks, young man Of much promise
and entirely sound on the Free Rail
Road Law question. For twenty-five
ballots the vote stood, for r. l.. Jones,
45, for E. w. Davis, 45, and 8 scatter
ing. On yesterday, however, eight of
the "bolters' cast their votes for Mr..
Davis, and he was elected, receiving
so votes to Mr.. Jones' 43. Mr. Riddle,
of Allegheny, voted for Mr.. Wilson,
refusing to the last to vote for Davis.
Among the original "bolters" were

Wharton, of Huntingdon and Mr.. Nc

This country has reason to be proud of this

of the machine made watches must give them a
great advantage over all others wherever known.
A poor tima-p of the machine make will be as
rare in the future as good one of hand make has
been heretofore for machinery is arbitrary in its
performance, and can make perfect article just
as easy as one that is worthless. 1t will be a

Editors Of the State Gudld.-Gentle-

an article in the State Guard of this
day, rejecting severely on the position
and motives of those of us who feel 1t
to be our duty to withhold our support
from the Hon. Elisha w. Davis, as a
candidate for Speaker Of the House OF
Representatives Permit US to state
that we are not disorganizers, but have
at heart the success and welfare of the
Republican party. We have voted
and acted with that organization ever
since it had an existence, and we in
tend to do so in the future, eXceptWhen
an attempt is made to int1ict a great
wrong upon the party. This we be-
lieve is now being done by some gen.
tlemen who desire to see Mr.. Davis e.
Iected Speaker, and who are and nave
been freely applying to us the epithets
of fdisorganizers and malcOntentS. In
the faithful discharge of our duty to an
honest and incorruptible constituency,
we have taken this stand, assured that
when the time arrives for us to lay be-
fore the world our reasons at large for
our action, it will meet with the ap-
probation of every honest and true Re

Notwithstanding "the great wrong
that was about to be inflicted upon the
party" IN the election of Mr.. Davis,
Mr.. Richards and the rest of the gen.
tlemen who made this declaration, were
induced to assist in his election. In a
subsequent card, they say that they did
so, because Mr.. Davis gave them "piedg-
esq and assurances, but what the
character of those "pledges" and "as-
surances," is, we are not informed. Sic
