The Inquirer has lost its prestige a. the
organ of the Radical party OF this coun-
ty. Bloody Run has robbed poor Lutz
of his blushin2 honors. The meeting
on Tuesday evening of last week, was
run completely in the interest of the
Bloody Run machine. Hence the IN
qltirer is quite sore-headed. It is bad
~ out of sorts. 1T even scolds the
chairman of the Radical county com
mittee, Esq. Lingenfelter. We give its
article in full, as follows:
In our local columns will be found
the resolutions offered ut the menting
ON Tuesday night. With the exception
of the 4th an, 9th they are fully and
heartily endorsed by every Republican
in the county. The IJh may not be
specially Objectionable, as We ali ad-
mire Gov. Gcary, but it is a little
premature 10 attempt to commit the
RppubIicuus Of Bedford county with
OUT giving them chance 10 indicate
their choice, for which there il album
daut time before the nomination for
our next Governor can be made The
9Th resolution is highly Objectionable.
Not only have we a candidate for Uni
ted States Senator in our own district.
Hon Edward Mcpherson than whom
there is no better in the State and to
whom it would be an objectionable
lack Of courtesy, but the great majority
of our people are unquaiifiedly ia favor
of him as their candidate. Again, e
ven the leading Republicans of the
county were not consulted at ali; the
resolutions were prepared apparently
/ By a single individual, the committee
appointed and the resolutions sprung
upon the meeting, the writer OF them
quickly moving their adoption almost
before the Chairman of his committee
was done reading them.
We have been unable to find a sin
gle republican outside of the parties
managing the affair, who either con,
sents to or in any way approves Of the
resolution. the Republicans of Bed
ford county cannot allow any single
individual 10 commit them or their
representative to any man for United
States Senator. With all due respect
and the highest personal esteem for
Hon. John Scott, admiriug his abili-
ty and hOuoring his integrity the Re
publicans of Bedford county cannot
and do not endorse him a- their first
choice for United States Senator nor
will they regard their Assemblyman
as in any way bound or committed by
the resolution referred TO. We hope
the chairman OF the County Commit
tee will hereafter take charge Of these
meetings as usual and prevent any flu
ture unfortunate occurrences Of TIN,
kind"

\ GOOD ONE.-A Galveston gentle
man, lately stopping at the Nicholson
House, Bd5tr0p, was in room recent

a freedman, entered the room to make

crossed his legs and made himself at

CONTESTED SEATS IN Cong REss.-
The cost ola seat in the British Parlia-
ment is something beyond the purse
of a man of moderate income. but if
the custom Of contesting elections in
creases at the present rate in this coun-
try, We may be able to reckon seats in
our national House of Representatives
at Il figure quite as high. TO Judge by
the great number Of such cases, not on
ly in Congress, but for different Offices
in all parts Of the country, fraud and
corruption entirely overpowered jus
tice aud decency at the late election
More than twenty seats in the next
Congress will be contested, and many
of the claimants haven not he slightest
legitimate prospect Of success.

EEFFaE AEE&ERD.

Gov. Geary has issued his proclama-
ton declaring the election of the sever
al persons returned to the Office OF the
the secretary of the commonwealth as
elected to the forty-first congress, in the
several districts Of the state, but mas
seen 1T to omit from the list the name
Of Hon. Henry b, Foster, returned for
the 2lst district. He says:
.sIn the twcnty-frst district, COM
posed of the counties Of Indiana,
Westmorelaud and Fayette, 40 such
returns of the election have been re-
ceived by the secretary of the common
wealth, as would, under the election
laws of the state, authorize me to pro,
claim the name of any person as hav-
ing been returned duly elected mem
Der of the house Of representatives OF
the United States for that district
Now. two the three return judges
for the twenty-frst district, certified TO
the secretary Of the commonwealth the
election of Henry d. Foster; the other
refused to sign the certificate, and, it IS
alleged, made out certificate Of his
own setting forth the election Of John
Covode. If The governors action, in
this matter be founded on correct prin-
ciples, then single mu!ish or design
ing return judge can always prevent
the insertion Of the name Of the duly
elected member Of Congress in the gu
bernatorial proclamation. But we
doubt not that GOV. Geary desired to
proclaim Gen. Foster elected, but he
was little afraid that if he did so, a
certain candidate for a certain radical
nomination might suffer some damage.
Poor, timid fellow!

SOME of the Michigan newspapers
strongly urge the reelection o. senator
Chandler, radical, whose term expires
on the 4th of March next. Refer
ring to this recommendation, the Phil
adelphia Telegraph, radical, remarks:
I'VE think Michigan can do much
better. Chandler, at the best, is Il
demagogue, happening to be on the
right side at present But he is a man
who is not qualified, either by intellect
or habits, for the high position which he
has now filled during period of twelve
years. In all the elements of states
manship he is mere pigmy by the
side of his colleague, Senator Howard.
Let the new Michigan Legislature
look around the state before they give
Chandler another six years lease of
the fiesh-pots. They will have no
difficulty in finding better and more
deserving man TO represent their State
in the National Senate"

THE ToRTUGA- PRIsoNERs.-The
Boston Advertiser, speaking of the
men now confined in the Dry Tortugas
on the charge of completely in the as
sassinatiou of President Lincoln, says {:
Nobody ever conceived that Arnold
Was guilty of anything beyond the plot
to abduct; there are grave doubts
whether O'Laughlin. now dead, was
implicated further than that, and the
commission which tried them under
stood this fully or they would have
been sentenced to the gallows, instead
OF for life at tile Tortugds. Spangler,
whose six years term is now more than
halfexpifed, Is nti2ajteslly m buaoceat
man, knowing nothing of either plot /;
but everybody who ever examined the
matter, except President johnson, be
ctme convinced Of this long ago. -

above: I'VE believe DR.. Mudd to be

Ben 8u,lerr's Position.

\ special reporter Of the New York
Hsraid has recently had a conversation
with Ben Butler, who has expectations
of becoming the Radical leader of the
next Congress. The late Presidential
election, said the General, was a
"throWn race, the leaders of the De-
mocracy having intended it to go Just
as it did Grant winning the Presidency
and Hoffman winning New York
The newspaper detection in New York
aud Washington was part of the
scheme, the closeness Of the race in
Pennsylvania and Indiana determin-
ing the leaders to demoraIize the par
ty by the proposed change of front.
The new administration will be radi-
cal upon the reconstruction points, but
conservative upon financial matters.
As to the labana claims, he thinks
the people are willing to wait until the
precedent Of some English war TO
square accounts by d IKE chance IN
British commerce.

Butler Selling Negroes ia lowell.

Butler, the Beast, IS about the only
man living against whom we would
take the testimony Of the ''poitroon,'
General Fitzpatrick. For this reason
we give what the latter said OF the for
mer in speech in Massachusetts,:
"On the afternoon Of the departure
of Mr.. Butler in the steamer Spauldlug,
for Charleston, >. e., when the Demo
cratic Convention was TO be held, he

Now that Grant, Is elected, he Is al
ready beset with "A host OF b0rerS for Of
flee ard self constituted adVi-ers.-L'1-
Quirer.
We had thought that these virtuous
radicals hurrahed for Grant and below
ed for Colfax, and roared and ripped up
and down the country generally, mere
ly because they wanted the country
saved from the pesky ''rebeIs.' But it
seems after ali, that they only wanted
the offices.

"We warn all good and honest men
