In other columns we print the nara.
tive of Mr.. RonR McHENRy, as fur.
nished to us by him. lie Is a highly
respectable and truthful gentleman and
his statements will have weight in this
community. The object in the publica.
tion is defence against assault and Sian
der, and to expose petty and costly op'
preston.
How far the officers implicated were
to blame the reader must judge from all
the facts exhibited. The law itself was
most oppressive and infamous in all Its
characteristics. 1t was purposely made
intricate and impossible to be under
stood, as declared by Gen. SCHENtK,
its author, in order that all small con-
Germs might be broken up and the bus.
mess forced into the exclusive hands of
the large establishments of the cities.
The department at Washington execu-
ted the law with that end in view. The
practice under 1t, too, always seemed to
us to have for its object the feeding and
pampering of patches of scoundrels act.
ing as detectives, for whatever infamy
these miscrcants were guilty of they al
ways seemed to be sustained by the de-
partment, and certainly were never
brought to punishment. In the case OF
Mr.. MCIIENRY tho department even
went so far as TO stipulate that no pro-
ceedings should be instituted against
these violators of the law for any thing
they had done! Yet an administration
that is guilty of this wicked persecution
of honest men engaged in lawful busi-
ness and who paid heavy taxes, con-
stantly asks people who love fairness
and justice to sustain it by their votes
But the narrative is complete in itself
and does not require further comment
at our hands. 1t is given over Mr..
McHENRY's own signature aud he pro-
fesses his readiness to substantiate all
his assertions. OF course we have no
personal knowledge Of the subject, and
give place to the statement over an am
ply responsible and reputable name.

Fishing Creek C0nfcderacy,

1t is source of unbounded pleasure
to the Radical editors in all this region
round about, and especially to the Will
Transport Bulletin to print a sneering
remark about the Fishing Creek CON
federacy." Albeit no such institution
ever existed, the people abused are hon
est, Intelligent, patriotic and generous.
In all these qualities they are equalled
by but few communities and surpassed
by none. The folly Of sending an army
amongst them and the severity of their
persecution during the war, have here
tofore been illustrated by a published
narrative Of those events, to the shame
Of those who plotted against them.
However, their traducers can work
away-they are invulnerable to such
attacks and care as little for snifilers
and snarlers as they do for the vermin
they tread under their feet.

1T is said that somebody has got to
lying about candidates. We don't
know whether 1t is exactly true that
this wonderful thing has happened, but
it is one of the possibilities of sublunary
affairs and if considerably INDUCED in
ought to be severely reprehended. II
is fearful thing to admit that there are
any people in Columbia county who in
dulge III that vile propensity and it was
fondly hoped that the clergy had so far
headed of Clootie as to stop that branch
of his enterprises amongst our people.
But If candidates are suffering from the
evil, we know of no better plan of rem
dering ID harmless than for people to
disbelieve everything that is said about
them-we say everything, for usually
there are about as many good lies told
about them as bad ones. AS to the var
ious imaginary projects about the i'm
provement and establishment of
Bloomsbury at the expense Of the coun.
ty-including free bridges, widening
streets, &c.,-we think we are safe in
assuring the public that no such designs
exist, and would not be approved by
the people ofthe town ifproposed. I'm
| der the act ofincorporation all such ex
penses, If any, are to be paid by thu
| town. If they inaugurate free fight
therefore, on this subject, they must in
dulge the luxury among themselves
We would further say, for the consola
tion of candidates, that man who ca
not gracefully stand some lying at hi
expense, is not worth much, and ha
better not get into the public service, o
Try to. The imps and devils who devot
their energies to excogitating lies hav
particular partiality for such subject
as candidates, and they are very apt t
devote themselves with assiduity to tn
most worthy they find ON the carpe
: Such lies, however, are much less pC
tent or harmful than is generally SUI
posed. Few people believe lies eve
, when told by themselves-much less s
when they hear Others at it.

GENERAL PARKER has resigned his
position as Commissioner of Indian
Affairs. If this had taken place at a
much earlier period, the nation would
have been a heavy gamer. In accept
ing the resignation of General Parker
the President rem arks that, "your
management of the Indian bureau has
been in entire harmony with my poll
cy." Undoubtedly. 1t was proven
that General Parker INDUCED in job
berry to large extent, by which the
nation lost millions of dollars, and nc
one will question that this management
was in "entire harmony" with the
policy of Grants administration.

An unusual number of President
Judges are to be elected next fall, as the
second term of ten years from the first
election in 1857 will expire the present
year. An Office so important, honora-
BILE and pecuniarily valuable, is of
course sought after with avidity and
energy, and intense excitement is
natural result. We rejoice to see, how
ever, that in several localities las in
Berks, where w. j. WOODWARD pre-.
sides) no political or other opposition
is offered to present incumbents of Pc
culiar acceptibility. In districts, too,
where party machinery is almost nec'
essarily resorted to, we observe that
many refuse to acquiesce in its binding
force, because the Office is not political,
and ought never be partizan, and inde-
pendent candidates are therefore the
result.
In the Mifflin district rather unusu.
al circumstance has occurred. The
ewistown True Democrat, an organ
that has ever been faithful to all the
principles and usages of its party dur.
ing long period of sore trial and de-
feat, expressed preference for the
Judge now on the bench, but distinctly
asserted that it would abide the action
Of its party in the premises. Certain
gentlemen of extraordinary political
virtue, led by that remarkable speci-
men of high sense of moral and party
obligation, and immaculate virginia.
purity of thought and action, Gen.
BURNS, became very indignant and de-
manded of the editor to sell out to them,
which mandate he declined to obey,
and then they proceeded to raise means
to start a paper in opposition to him.
Without expressing any opinion as to
Judge WOODS, we do compliment the
pluck and manly independence of
HENRY FRYsINGER, Esq, the editor
of the True Democrat. We have known
him long and intimately. No better
specimen of Goods noblest work, an
honest man," lives. During all his
manhood he has been sincere, indus
trious, devoted, honest, never tiring
and always firm and reliable editor and
democrat. Although his position on
the Judge question is made the excuse,
we do not in the least doubt that his
stern personal integrity and firm devo.
ton to the principles of his party. and
his invulnerability to dictation by self
ish political gamblers, is the real cause
of opposition to him. We hope the
Democracy of Miffiin will prove their
own integrity and manhood by sustain.
ing him as their editor, whether they
approve his remarks on the Judgeship
or not. Independent editors are too
rare to permit them to be sacrificed at
the dictation of upscrupulous dema-
gogues.

HYDRoPHoBIA.-T Philadelphia

of the newspapers always TEEN with
accounts of mad dogs at this season !;
but every intelligent observer and

lon that the malady is rare, II, indeed,

we believe that the newspapers, and
we take our share of the blame, have
more to do with producing cases of

foster a popular superstition, which
often causes nervous people to die of
fright now from imaginary hydropho-
bia, as they did In former times from
imaginary witchcraft.
