A young girl named Prince, who has
been employed as lctter-carricr for the
postofficc at Burlington, n. j., was re-
Gently arrested, charged with robbing
letters of their contents. After her ar
rest she confessed that she had been in
the habit of taking the letters to the
house of woman named Miller, who
opened them and took out any money,
jewelry or other articles of value which
they contained, giving her, the girl, part
of her share. The woman Miller with
her two daughters have been arrested,
and the girl is held as a witness.

Grants Way of Expressing Great
Truths.

Truths.
Gen. Grant, though not . politician
has a parenthetical way of stating great
truths and sentcntious facts which is re-
markable.
As early as the second year of the war.
in letter to Mr.. Washburne, he writes !:
| never was an abolitionist : not even
what could be called anti slavery - but I
tried to judge fairly and honestly, and it
became patent to my mind early in the
rebellion that the North and South could
never live in peace with each other except
as one nation, and that without slavery"
And again: " AS anxious as | am to
sec peace established, would not there
fore be willing to see any settlement un-
til this question is settled"
Ia his correspondence with President
johnson in reference to the removal of
General Sheridan from the district of
Louisiana, he says: "This is Q republic
where the will of the people is the law of
the land. | beg that their voice may be
heard"
In his speech to the committee ap-
pointed to inform him of his nomination,
he said: off chosen President, / shall
haye no policy Of my own to enforce
against the will of the people"
In his letter accepting the Republican
nomination, he says: " Purely admins
trative officers should always be left to
execute the will of the people. l have
always respected that will and always
shall"
These arc only samples of Gen. Grants
manner Of expressing great truths, culled
at random from our files; but they arc
"applcs Of gold in pictures of silver" and
show to the people the manner Of man he
is.
In his general order to his soldiers, af-
ter the capture Of Gen. Lee, in referring
to the enforcement of the emancipation
proclamation, he calls Slavery the cause
aud pretext of the rebellion"
In his famous letter to the President,
while acting as Secretary Of War al an
terim, he says: "I stated that the law
was binding upon me, constitutional or
not, until set aside hy the proper tribu-
nal" doctrine that will do to stand by.
In his testimony before the impcach-
ment committee, he says: AZ have al
ways been attentive to my own duties,
and tried not to interfere with other peo-
PIES" And again, +" never was in ia
vor Of general amnesty until the time
should come when it would be safe to
give it."
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1868-07-30

Martin F. Conway says he is going to
take the stump in the present campaign.
but declares himself for Grant and Col
fax. He closes his letter as follows
awe have had war enough. l prefer,
peace, and am willing to take it on the
basis of existing facts. We are lucky
enough now Gas we were az the end of our
great revolution) 20 have at the head Of
the army man who, though coming oua
conqueror from great war, sighs for
reace-a simple and virtuous citizen,
whose ambition is to settle The affairs Of
his country on a just basis, and then.
when his term of Office is finished, to re-
turn to private life. 1t seems to me that
we should DO content to rest whore We
are, without specializing upon the results,
Of another war"

The Democracy in 1861 pronunccd the
war to peservc the Union failure, and
in keeping with this same spirit they now
pronounce the reconstructed governments
null and void. They will have a fine
time in ousting the members of Congress
from those States, if even there was a
possibility of their eleeting the next Pres
ident. We think they will find this a
plank in their platform as great blunder
as the one Of 1864. Here is what Chief
Justice fancy said on the subject, in an
opinion of the court, delivered in the oelc-
bratcd Dorr case:
Under this article of the Constitution it
rests with Congress to decide what govern
mcnt is the established one in State.
For as the United States guarantee to
each State republican government, Con-
gross must necessarily decide what gov
ernment is established in the State before
it can determine whether it is established
or not. And when the Senators and Re
presentativcs Of State are admitted to
the councils of the Union, the authority
of the Government under which they are
appointed, as well as its Republican char
acter, is represented by the proper con-
stituional authority. And its decision is
binding upon every other department of
the government, and could not be ques-
toned in a judicial tribunal.

tion, and three years ago he was unani-
m0aSiy selected again as the choice of
the Union party Of Cambria, for State
Senator, but failed to receive the nomina-
ton from the district conference upon
either occasion, not however from want
of appreciation Of his worth and services
as citizen and as bravo and meritorious
soldier.
On the 18th of August, 1865, Gen.
Campbell was nominated for Surveyor
General by the Republican party, and in
October of the same year, was elected
over Col. Linton, his competitor, by a
large majority. For over two years he
has administered the duties of his Office
with recognized ability and to the salts
faction of all parties; aud has brought up
a large amount of unfinished and intricate
business. La March last, he was unani-
nouSly renominatcd by the Republican
State Convention, for the Office he now
so ably and satisfactorily fills. A unani-
nous denomination from a State Convcn-
tion of either party, is no small compli-
mcnt to any man, and no one within our
recollection except Gen. Campbell and
his colleague on the State ticket ever be-
fore received such marked endorsement.
Such in brief, is hurried sketch of
the life and services of one Of Pcnnsylva-
MAS noblest sons. He is first found
printers dcvil,' "jour," "deck
hand " on steamboat, a clerk, -" mate"
and "part owner Of vessel" He is
next found In the iron business, then in
California, and finally in the gigantic en-
terprise of the celebrated Cambria Iron
Mills, where his great experience added
largely to the success of that stupendous
undertaking. At the breaking out of
the war, he was Lieutenant of militia
company, entered the army and was ap-
pointed Quartermaster, then Colonel,
and after a brilliant campaign of three
long, weary years, he was honored with
a Brevet Brigadicr Generals Commits
sion, position long and doubly earned
in command of a brigade and division,
and by gallantry in the field. Thus, it
will be seen, that Gen. Campbell comes
from The working class, and is emphatic
ally working man.
Ills social characteristics never fail to
create the warmest friendships and last
ing impression. He is a shrewd business
man and a useful citizen "a man en-
dowed with strong common sense, and
rarely fails in his judgment of men and
measures = is well read, and familliarly
acquainted with all,thc internal workings
of the great machinery of our government.
Among the ablest articles on the subject
Of our National finances, was one from
his pen, written during the carly part of
last winter. He is genial companion,
a clever, whole-soulcd, honest man, strictly
temperate in his habits, and that he will
be reelected by an increased majority, is
already beyond peradventure.
