RooFING SLArE.-It will be seen by an
advertisement in this paper that the Twin
City Slate Company are prepared to furnish
to builders or skaters their dark blue co,ored
roofing slate, from their quarr;es located in
Northampton county, Pa. at quarry prices
This will afford our builders rare 0pportu-
nifty to secure FIRE proof coverings for their
buildings at slight addition to the ordinary
expense of a combustible shingle roof The
Northampton county slate is conceded to be
superior for roofing purposes to any 10 the
United States-perhaps in the world and
when it is remembered that slate roof out
lasts twenty shingle ones. it will readily be
seen that it is far the most economical.-
We doubt not our citizens will avail them
selves of the opportunity presented by the
above company. and purchase slate for their
buildings now in progress, or hereafter to be
built. E. L Goodwin is the agent of tie
company. and his office is in Brewers Build
ing. Duquesne Way, Pittsburg.

The Radical Convent ION.

The Radical County Convention, a full re-
port of the proceedings Of which is given in
our local department, met in the Court House
on Monday last and was called to order by
c. I. Roberts. Chairman of the County Com
mittee. There are forty election districts in
the county, all cf which were represented.
and from fire of the northern districts t,co
sets of delegates presented their respective
credentials. Ona preliminary test question,
not including the vote of the contested dis
tricts. Daniel J. Morrell scored A and A.
A. Barker %. The report of the Commit
tee on Contested Seats, which was a packed
Committee in the interests Of Morrell, adj
mitteG Si1 of his delegates and four adhe-
rents of the political fortunes of Barker. thus
giving MorrelI so votes and Barker so.
Harry Boggs was then elected permanent
Chairman of the Convention, and Morrell
was declared to be the choice Of the Conven-
tion by vote of SO to 80 for Barker. Res
olutions endorsing Grants administration
and highly eulogistic of Morrell were offered
The thirty friends of Barker. on a call for
the yeas and nays. stubbornly refused to
vote for the Morrell resolution. One of the
Barker delegates had previously offered
protest against MorrelPs nomination, which
the friends of the latter refused by yeas and
nays to permit to be read. and the docu-
ment was handed back to the gentleman
who offered it. The Morrell faction then
nominated County Committee, the friends
of Barker refusing To take any part in this
branch of the proceedings. A resolution
was then adopted by the Morrell clique de-
claring against the nomination of county
ticket until after the meeting of the Demo-
cratic Convention, the Barker men voting
No.
a motion to adjourn was then carried by
Morrell's friends, who thereupon retired
from the Court room. The Barker phalanx,
the immortal thirty. then took possession of
the Court room, organized and nominated as
their candidate for Congress, Samuel Cabin.
Esq. of daysburg-familiarly known
as "TGrif Sam"-and then adjourned.
The feeling exhibited between the rival
houses of Morrell and Barker, was intensely
bitter, and manifested itself throughout the
entire proceedings of the convention. The
friends or Barker showed that they meant
business and exhibited great pluck and deter.
mination. The peculiar appliances. how
ever so veil known to Morrel's understrap-
pers in political contest, were too potent
for the Barker wing of the party, and by
their skillful use accomplished the desired
Tesult.
1t is pretty fight in this county just as
II stands, but does not lessen our confidence

THE New CATHOLIC Bishop OF SAvAN-
NAB -Ignatius Persico. just appointed Bish-
op of Savannah. Georgia. by the Apostolic
See, has had romantic history. He was
born in Italy. .'and was conSecrated Bishop of
Agra, in India. about twenty-six years ago.
He remained in India sixteen years. built
a cathedral and established religious houses,
the whole of which were destroyed duri ng
the Sepoy mutiny, and he was driven from
his diocese. He brought suit against the
East India Company for the damages incur
red by the destruction of the property of the
Church, and recovered the sum of ninety
thousand pounds sterling. Having been
driven from his see in India, he remained in
Naples eight years and came to South Caro-
liza about two years ago, at the earnest
solicitation of Bishop Lynch of Charleston.
during which time he had charge of Catholic
missions in that State. Bishop Persico sue
ceeds the Right Rev. DIR. Verot. at Savan-
nah, who has been transferred to the new
see at st. Augustine, Florida.

A HORRIBLE ACcIDENT-John Hoover,
residing within three miles of this place, lost
his life on Wednesday last while at work
on Goodfellow's Saw Mill. under the follow
ing circumstances He went to the mill
about nine O'Clock, and not coming to din
ner some one repaired to the mill, about one
O'Clock, and there found him corded on the
bullwheel, dead and mangled in the most
horrible manner. 1t appears from the sur
roundings that the first thing he done after
he went on the mill. was to draw a log out
of a pond in attempting to prevent the
rope from ''piling up" on the wheel. he was
evidently caught by the hand and drawn
upon the wheel. and the rope wrapped
around him. His legs head and arms were
all pounded into jelly. caused by striking
the timbers while revolving around with the
wheel. The rope had broke, but he was
still held tight to the wheel when found
Mr.. Hoover was a single man about so
years of age. If is not long since a death
was caused at Messrs. Bigler's Mill, near
this place through similar carelessne S.

Daniel Mclaughlin. Esq. We have not
deemed it necessary to express any opinion
in regard to the merits of the controversy,
although we entertain very decided view
of it. The issue out Of which it has arisen
is dead aud buried. with no bright prospect
of ever being successfully revived. Its most
boiSterous advocate may. like Owen Glen>
dover, hereafter call spirits from tie vastly
deep and will sadly disappoint public ex-
pectation if he does not But, "will they
come"7 All the questions in dispute be-
tween the parties to this discussion have
been thoroughly and exhaustingly ventilated.

and so far as the columns of the Freeman

lengthy controversy before its readers. that
desirable point of time has been reached in

Tardy Justice.

At the election held in October. 1868,
Furman Sheppard, the democratic candidate
for District Attorney for Philadelphia, was
elected over his radical opponent, Charles
Gibbons, by about twelve hundred majority.
Gibbons contested the seat, and, after long
and tedious investigation, the Court rendered
a decision declaring him (Gibbons) elected.
The Judge who delivered the opinion was
F. Carroll Brewster, who Immediately re-
signed and was appointed Attorney General
by his friend Geary. Several other moves
were made on the political chess board about
the same time, all of which caused much sur
prise aid were said to have grown out of this
decision of Brewster. Mr.. Sheppard, know
ing that he had been wronged, succeeded in
getting rehearing of the case. and last week
the Court, composed of three republicans
and one democrat, unanimously decided that
Mr.. Sheppard had been legally elected.
John Covode. who was Chairman of the
Radical State Committee when Mr.. Sheppard
was turned out of his office by Brewster's
decision. just after the October election. was
naturally connected with all this dirty bust
ness. How could it be otherwise? The
Philadelphia Day, in referring to the case.
says:
"If this closer scrutiny had been exercised
in October last, it would have prevented the
wrong decision and spared the State the shame
of a corrupt bargain, consummated between
her Governor. one of her Representatives in
Congress, and judge of one of her courts
Yet, it may be better that the publ. has learn
ed the nature of thi. bargain, the manner of
ful6ment, and who were capable of making
and concluding it. Ii is certainly proper that
the people should understand how their Attor-
ney General acquired his position, and why it
was given him by the Governor; and it is
equally fit that the citizens of the Twenty first
Congressional District should know why their
representative is called honest J ohm CoYode.' !"

Geary at "s,veet sixteen"

When the negroes of Harrisburg celebrated
the ratification of the fifteenth amendment,
John w. Geary was invited to adireSs them.
AS it is the easiest thing in the world for a
natural orator like Geary to make a speech
on any given subject. of course he complied
with the request of his new political allies,
and. among other strange and wonderful
things, gave utterance to the following
al do not and never did consider it disgrace
frl to say / was All abOlitionists, although /
was sixteen years of age before l aniyed at
that point And now how grateful to nay heart
is it that during my life, from sixteen years of
age to the present time, have never hesitate led
70 give my voice and right hand" etc.
We have always known, since Geary be-
came Governor, that his reputation for truth
access to the executive chamber, has been at
q ruinous discount But that he would at
tempt in public address to surpass Nun
chausen himself. shows q degree of brass
which we did not suppose that even Geary
possessed.
Wien he made the above sweeping decla-
ration, did he suppose that it would be be-
heved. and that it would not be received
with shout Of derision If be rightly pre-
sumed on the ignorance of the sable crowd
that stood before him as to his early political
career, he should have known at least that
there are persons living in this section of the
State to whom it is perfectly familiar. Does
he forget that at one time he had local hab-
itation and name IN Cambria county? He
was then only few years beyond "sweet
sixteen" Who then roared more Justify
against the old Whg party, and in favor OF
Democratic men and measures, than he who
is now Governor and who was then CLERK to
the Superintendent of the old Portage Rail
Road. At that time he had the same love
and sympathy for an aboltionist that q wolf
has for lamb.
While residing in this county he support
cd James 4. Polk for President, and. for the
maaner in which he displayed his zeal for
that gentleman, succeeded in getting himself
into the Court Of Quarter Sessions
Was he an abolitonist when he went to
the Mexican war as the captain Of company
of Cambria county democrats Did he be-
long to that party when President Pierce
sent him to California and to Kansas Had
he single drop of abolition blood in his
veins when, in the winter of 1865, after his
return from the war and in anticipation Of
receiving the democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, he wrote his famous letter to Sam.
Mcguire. of Philadelphia. in which he (Gea-
ry) boaste6 that he was democrat "with-
out prefix or afix"2 The. answers to all
these questions are easy, and stamp Geary
IS the lowest type of demagogue, in pan
dering to the prejudices of the negroes who
listened to his selfaudatory but mendacious
harangue on the occ lsion referred to- How
humiiating it is to be cursed with Cover
nor who can stoop so low as to thus basely
falsfy his own political record for the mere
purpose of exciting negro applause!

WHEN the Georgia bill Was returned from
the Senate to the House with amendments,
three weeks ago, it was referred to the Re-
construction Committee of which Benjamin
F. Butler is the chairman. Prompt action
on the part of the House committee was ex-
pected, not that much was hoped from it
for the beet interests Of the people of Geor-
gia, but in order that they might know
where they stood and with what additional
ignominious terms they would be asked to
comply. Just at this time Butler had an
excuse for posting off to Massachusetts,, and
an arrangement was entered into by the other
members of the Reconstruction Committee
of the first part and Butler of the second
part, by which it was agreed that the CON-
mittce should not take any action on the
bill until Butler would return on the 9Th of
May. This is the manner in which legisla-
ton is conducted at Washington when the
interests of a State are involved, and shows
the supreme influence which bad man like
Butler exercises over the action of radical
Congress. Why should this thing have been
done? Must the wheels of legislation abso-
lutely stop during the absence of this militia
ry charlatau, but Congressional autocrat +?
Is the most important legislation to be held
in allegiance until Butler again appears on
the scene of action and cracks his whip over
his obsequicus slaves7 OF what material
must House be composed that will thus
meekly bend to the arrogant demands of
this Massachusetts, disturber of the courtry's
peace 1t is humilating reflection, and
shows the utter political generalization
which the country has reached, when the
rights of sovereign State of the Union are
made TO depend on the mere whim or cap
rice of such persistent enemy to the public
veal as Butler.

AT country vendue in Somerset county

AT country vendue in Somerset county,
week before last, almost every article
brought its full value. Cows, very poor in
flesh, brought from thirty three to sixty
eight dollars per head. Out of the four
hundred persons present, it appeared that
one hundred of them had come to buy hogs !;
and the sheriff was astonished to End that in
less than two minutes he had knocked off
ordinary pigs. of mixed breed. only six
months old, and weighing alive one hundred
pounds. at twenty dollars and fifty cents a
head. The sheriff had advertised the sale
in the county papers.
