II the author of the communication in
the last Johnstown Tribune imagines, for
one moment, that he and his associates in
the e-''removal' outrage can appear on a
platform, on the so>called "Court House
Square," and vent their spleen against
the citizens Of this ''obsoIete village with
impunity, or that their fierce and vindic-
tive assaults will not be promptly repellcd,
we take this occasion to remove that i'm
preston, and to say both to him and
them, that they are iaboring under fatal
delusion. In this contest there will be
blows to g've, as we'll as blows to take,
and we pledge them, collectively and indi-
vidually, our word that we will always
return them 'tROlan2 for their OGUer.''
This correspondent referred to charges
us with making ''personal attacks" Is
it personal attack on our part to quote
his precise language, and then to refute
his nonsense, by illustrating IFS illogical
conclusions, or by facts No other man
than himself, or one whose mind is full of
the widest theories and the most fanciful
crotchets, will SO declare In this appro-
pirate supplement to his harangue on
''Court House Square" there is a most
singular omission. He has forgotten to
say solitary word in defence of the hard
ships of his study Of serenty," who, poor
old soul, was compelled to ride in rail
road car from Johnstown to Ebensburg
to prove before the Register, that her
husband was dead and that he had made
will. This '4ady Of serenity" constituted
the most prominent figure in his address,
aud as he presented her to his audience
borne down by The heavy burden she was
compelled to bear, and that too, merely
for the benefit of this "obscure village"
it must have been peculiarly affecting and
well calculated to excite in her behalf a
feeling of profound sympathy. But, to
his shame be it said, he has now "eone
back" on her, which is something won>
derful when we reflect on his we'll known
taste for the sensational and tragical. The
celebrated Edmund Burke said, on a
memorable occasion, that the age of chiv-
airy had gone and although the abstract
truth of the broad declaration was ques>
tiored at the time, it would really seem,
from the uugallant treatment of this s'lady
Of aventy' from her eympathiser, and now
correspondent Of the Tribune, that there
is more truth than poetry in Burkes ia
nous expression.

WE asserted in this paper two weeks
ago, in an article reviewing the Johnstown
address, that, ''never prior TO the Legis~
lative session of 1869, was such project
as District Curt for the southern part
of Cambria county ever heard Of" The
last Juhnstown Tribune denies, for rca-
sons stated, the truth of this allegation
and demands at onr hands q retraction
We never hnolvmgy and loafully published
a falsehood in the editorial columns Of the
Freeman. OF course we may and doubt
less have been mistaken, in some things
that we have written, but il was not done
with any design to perpetrate a wilfull
wrong, We are well aware that many
years ago the question was agitated OF
Incorporating Johnstown and the SUI
rounding boroughs into a city with a
''Mayors Court" similar to the act of
1851, Incorporating the ''Mayors Court
of Ca bondale" We presume that the
tseo bills, which the editor of the Tribune
says were sent to Mr.. Pershing during his
five years as member Of the House from
this county, contained substantially the
well known provisions of the CarbOn>
dale law. This we believe to be the
truth. If there ever was bill, prepared,
of course by the attorneys in JohEstown
as the Tribune admits, and sent TO either
George n Smith or to Cyrus L. Perish
ing, asking the Legislature to organize 2
"Diarict Coaut'' at Johnstown, by that
Specific title, the question can be easily
settled. There is ne pretence whatever
that John p Linton ever had any bill of
the kind sent to him. Now if Cyrus L.
Pershing will say in very brief commu-
nication, either to the Tribune or to the
Freeman, that the t,co bills which were
sent to him, according to the allegation
of the Tribune, provided for the organiza-
tion of "District Court" at Johnstowu
by that name, we will then withdraw all
that we said on the subject in controversy,
but not until then.

The terrible story which has been going
the rounds of the press. taken from the Mid
dletown (Mo) Banner, to the effect that
three of the musicians attached to James
Robinson & Co.'s circus had been destroyed
by the lions belonging to the show, into
whose cage they had been precipitated on
the 18th of May. is undoubtedly hoax
Any such event would have been soon tele-
graphed all over the country, and would not
have required FIVE weeks time to have been
known. Interested parties in this city have
heard nothing of it, and laugh at the improb-
able, if not absurd story. 1t is the inven-
tion of some sensational wag connected with
the press. or is an advertising dodge of the
show most probably the ,atter.- Cincinnoti

"A COW drover got himself into trouble,
in Montgomery county, the other day, by
trying ''trick of his trade" to impose upon
purchasers through a most cruel infliction
on cows and calves. He had tied a string
firmly around the jawe of thirty calves to
keep them from sucking their mothers, in
order to swell the cows udders, and give
them the appearance of great mixers. He
was arrested upder the law punishing cru
city to dumb animals, and fined ten dollars
for each offence, amounting to $500.

In our statement last week Of the vote
on Gen. Logan's resolution excluding
Whittemore from his seat in the Honse,
although we gave it as the telegraph was
made TO furnish it, there was great mis-
take. 1t seems that the correct vote stood
"a for his admission and 131 against it.
Among the immortal twenty>four it is a
qualification to know aud to proclaim the
fact, that the name of no Democrat is to
be found. The only t,Oo members from
Pennsylvania who disgraced themselves
by voting to admit Whittemore to his
seat, were John Cessna and William D.
Kelly, both intense Radicals. This is
not at all surprising, for their career in
Congress conclusively shows, that when
any dirty political work is to be done in
the House their votes can be counted on
with absolute certainty. They will both
be candidates for reelection next fall and
their votes on this question, apart from
other abundant reasons, ought to damn
them in the estimation of ther constitu>
ents.

A CANDID ADMISSION On last Thurs
day, when the Congressional Apportion>
ment bill was under consideration in the
House, Mr.. Scofeld, Radical, from the
Warren district in this State, made the
following confession, every word and sem
tence of which are literally true. II is a
brief but comprehensive statement of what
has heretofore been the hypocritical policy
of the Radical party in Congress and will
be accepted as the undisguised truth:
He remembered that at the close of the war,
whenever any great wrong was to be done iii
the House, it was done in the name of the sol%
diers; and now that that was played out, when
ever any great fraud was to be perpetrated, it
was to be done in the name of the blacks"
If this is not perfect and complete
epitome of Radical legislation for the last
FIVE years, we have utterly failed to under
stand it.
