A Bad Parallel.

THE Johnstown Tribune is anxious for an
excuse to bespatter US. Some two years ago
THOMAS A. MAGUIRE, a United States Off
cial ut Washington. wrote from that city to
NJ. NJ. ADAMS, Esq, of Cresson. letter
opening up the way 30 further correspond
ence, making it an object to him (ADAMs)
to change his political faith and support
Hon. DANIEL j. MoRRELL for Congress-
Mr.. ADAMS handed that letter and his reply
to the then editor Of the Freeman, by whom
it was published. That was matter entire
ly and exclusively between Messrs. MAGUIRE
and ADAMS, and the publication of the for
mer genteman's letter aud the latter gen.
tleman's reply was nothing more than the
publication in the Democrat and Tribune of
Mr.. PERsHING's letter and Mr.. NJ LAUGH
Inns reloinder, for which act nobody ever
blamed either OF them. The Freeman had
nothing to do with the character of Mr.. MA
CURES letter when It's o1cner requested its
publication. The Tribune does not pretend
that ,re opened the letter, nor that we even
read it. Then where is the parallel Mr.
MLAUGELIN dtd open another mans private
letter entrusted to his cane. The whole
difficulty arose out of that act. and the less
Mr.. M'LAUGHLIN or the Tribune stir it up
the better for their own peace of mind and
damaged regulations.
We desire no personal controversy with
the Tribnne, and therefore shall not retort
the CliytU words applied to us: but simnly
desire for the Tribune better judgment and
better spirit than it has manifested in thi:
attempted parallel. and for Mr.. M'LAUGHLIN
a more correct, sincere and courteous apollo

HONESTY IN PoLITICs.-Morrell, the pres
ert Radical member Of Congress from the
Cambria district in this State, has been
forced upon the party for reelection by the
most open and glaring frauds. The protest
of the anti-Morrell delegates. who put the
Hon. Samuel Calvin in the field as their
choice, says. when we assert that cor
rupt means were employed in order to secure
delegates. and that there are those sitting
in this Convention who Go not honeseiy rep
resent the people, we state what is too pain
fully apparent to all. and we firmly believe
that nominations so made cannot command
the suffrages of those who prize honesty in
politics. On the contrary, those who be-
lieve purity essential in nominations and
elections. will spurn the candidate placed
before the people corruptly, as a nomination
not fit to be made" This is the language
of Radical delegates, not ours, and it is no
dull shaft. 1t pierces the arlnor of the Bad
ical party and shows by what means men
are pat upon their tickets. Mr.. MorreH has
a subsidized sentiment in his favor but he
is opposed by large majority of honest men
in the Radical party, aud these men have
a candidate of their own and mean to sup
port him. 9'he Post canoot cover up this
breach by attempts to bell tile the friepds of
Mr.. Calvin. Among them are some of the
strongest Radical politicians in Cambria coun-
ty who will not be dragooned into the sup
port of Mr.. Morrell- As to Mr.. Morrell's
opposition to free trade, that can be better
estimated when viewed in the light of a man
voting money into his own pocket, by in
ereasing the price of articles manufactured
by him. Age.

Black Against w ilsOn.

The February number of the AHGntic
Monthly contained an elaborate and careful |
ly prepared article under the title, "EDwIN
NJ SrANToN." written by HENRY WILSON,
one Of the Senators Of the United States from
Massachusetts, The writer had two pur~
poses in view, the first of which was to will
fully and knowingly, defame and misrepre-
sent the administration of JAMES BUCHANAN,
and to criminate and malign the reputation
of certain members of his Cabinet at the
outbreak of the late civil war, and especially
to impugn the patriotism and devotion to
the constitution of his country of one of the
foremost and brightest men that Pennsylva-
MIA has ever produccd-JEREMIAH 5. BLACK,
President BUcHANAN's Attorney General
when the rebellion commenced ; and, second
ly, 70 even asperse and next to eulogize and
defend EDWIN NJ STANTON, who for time
was the successor of Judge BLACK and subse-
qnently Secretary of War under Mr.. Lincoln.
We would like to publish Senator WILSON'S
article and Judge BLACKS reply, tthe latter
having just appeared.) in order that the
bane and the antidote might go to our read
ers together, but the great length of the
productions of both these gentlemen, and the
limited space of our columns, forbid it.
That there has been an astonishing and
persistent amount of wilful falsehood and
bold and reckless Misrepresentation written
and spoken about JAMES BUCHANAN and his
CabiDat opd tbair Cff;cioI connection with
the secession from the Union Of the Southern
States, we have all along been well aware
of The truth of History, however, and es-
pecially the official acts of any administra-
ton. of whatever party, in reference to so
important and vital question as the great
civil war through which this country has
passed, cannot successfully be ignored or
fpally misinterpreted or misrepresented by
demagogues, under the special, and, in these
latter days, hypocritical plea Of that hack
neyed, but much abused term, Loyalty" J"
! 1t is we'll for the perfect vindication Of his
/ tory that Judge BLACK is now living, and
that he is gifted with the ability to write
/ such manly and vigorous reply to the silly
and venomous essay of WILSON. We in
Cambria county, the old neighbors and
frierds of JERRY BLACK, as he is familiarly
called, feel just and an honest pride in all
/ that concerns his fair name and reputation.
We feel that he is a part and parcel of US,
where his earliest professional efforts were
first made, and where he is we'll and honor
ably remembered. We have watched stead
lily his upward and onward career, and will
his honors now thick blushing upon him
we can proudly point to him as an honored
son Of his native Sta.e-pure aud beyond al
! reproach,
In disposing of this correspondence, WI
will simply say, that in view of the terrible
scathing that Judge BLACK has so triumph
antly administered to Henry WILSON, whC
dishonors the seat that was once immortal
lied by DANIEL WEBsrER-he who was St
appropriately styled the ''great expounGe
Of the constituSion"-Mr HENRY WILsol
deserves the heartfelt sympathy and com
miseraton of the American people.

A GOOD FELLOW THAT CAN KEEP A Flo-
TEL.-H. G.. Smith, of the Lancaster Daily
Mtelligencer, who has been on a visit to
Cape May, pays the following well deserved
compliment to that most popular landlord,
Mr. George Bolton:
Hotels depend greatly for success upon
the qualifications of those who have the
management of them. There is much mean
ing in the slang phraze, ''he is coed fellow,
out he can't keep a hotel" To run" a
a first-class establishment on the American
principle of hotel keeping requires combi-
nation of talents of a rare order. He who
would succeed must show military precision
in the ordering of his army of servants,
while he meets his guests with uDvarying
smiles and uuruffled politepess of manner.
He must remember faces which he has seen
but once, and be able to recall the multi
tude of names recorded from time to time on
his register. He must be very liberal in
providing for all the wants Of an eEactiDg
pUblic. and methodically correct and econ
omiCal in the management Of his varied
business transactions. Men of the class we
have attempted to describe are rare, tut
they make fortunes Mr.. Geo. Bolton, pro-
prietor of the Bolton House at Harrisburg
and part proprietor and sole manager Of the
Columbia House at Cape May. is one of
those rare men of whom it can be truthfully
said -he is good fellow and can keep a
| hotel" He keeps two of the best and most
popular establishments in the country. He
makes his guests feel perfectly at home, and
those who put up with him are not only sure
| to return, hpt, as they do SO, they recall the
lines OF the poet who said
The traveller along life's weary way must often
sigh,
To think he has found his warmest welcome at
an inn.
The Columbia House occupies the most
eligible location on the Island. has the hand.
soonest grounds, and is in all its departments
admirably arranged as it is well conducted

A REMARKABLE FAMILY-The Kolson
(Tenn.) Journal says: There is, perhaps.
the most remarkable family of people in
this county that there is in the broad limits
of the United States of America. We have
published the facts in regard TO it. The
name of this family is Webb. The father
of all the Webbs was named Theodorick,
and the mother was named Catharine.-
They were both from Buckingham county,
Va. were of German extraction were mar
ried in the year l7e5, and lived together
fifty-seven years Their immediate family
consisted of seven so2s and Eve daughters,
and they raised them all at one spot, in Poor
Valley, within twelve miles of Rogersvile
The eld man died in the year 1852, aged
eighty-four years. and the old lady in the
year 1870, and but few weeks ago. aged
eighty-foar years. AT the time of old Mrs.
Webh's death, their offspring numbered ZIG
of whom l76 were living and 40 dead. OF
this immense Progeney there are to>day
living the whole of the original II children,
sc grandchildren. and II great grandchil-
dren. all of whom are in good health.
