A DAMAGING CHARGE.

From the Stockton Republican,
The unqualified assertion of Gen.
10. Hooker. that Grant sent How
ard to Arizona in order to avoid an
investigation of the Freedmen S
Bureau robberies, is worth at least
the consideration of every good cltl-
zen. Hooker has done the State
some service He dealt some OF the
sturdiest and most decisive blows IN
the struggle for the Union, and he
came out of that conflicts a war-stalned
and battle SCARED hero who was re-
warded with the sincere thanks of the
nation. This man, who stood by the
flag along the plains and on the noun
tain side-both below and above the
clouds - asserts, upon his word
as a soldier, that the administration
sent federal officer to a distant part
of the country for the sole purpose
of escaping an Investigation of frauds
alleged to have been committed by
him. Coming as it does from man
who commands the respect of our
whole people. the charge cannot but
attract attentlOn. anu IL Is ulih1ui' W
suppose that President Grant will
permit it to pass unnoticed. If we
admit that the administration has
sent away one defaulter to prevent a
discovery of his frau Is. we can not
deny that he has pursued similar
course with scores of others. 10
give color to the latter supposition,
We need but point to the whitewash-
ing process adopted by the admins
tration in the farcical investigation
of the New York Custom House
frauds, and in the matter of selling
arms to the French Unless dis
proved, General Hooker's charge con-
corning the Howard Freedmen's Bu-
reau matter must stand as true.

INcENDIARy.-On Wednesday evening last,
about o'clock, the slaughter-house belonging
to George Cope, in New Hope, was discovered
to be on fire, but by the prompt action of sew
eral gentlemen it was extinguished before any
damage was done. 1t was no doubt the work
of incendaries, as an clubhouse belonging to
Mr.. Joseph Stockton was also set fire to by
means of cornstalks placed inside of it. The
door having been shut, it is supposed the fire
smothered out. In several other places near
there they also tried to fire the buildings. The
wind, which was blowing strong at the time,
combined with the combustible nature of the
buildings in that vicinity, would have made
work for our firemen if it had got under way.
The alarm was given, but owing to the break
ing of the rope connected with the bell in the
Eagle house, it did not reach this side. Some
body will be caught some of these nights, if
they keep on at this kind of work.

EXCITING RAcE.-On Thursday evening last
awoman, under the influence of 'apple juice"
or some other stimulant, performed some feats
of pedestrianism for the amusement or disgust
of quite large number of spectators on Union
street. Constable Kitehin had occasion to
arrest Mary Jane Zeigler every one knows
who she is by this tinle), and was proceeding
with her to the lookup, and when opposite
the Presbyterian Church she took notion to
go to New Hope to see her aunt, as she said,
and started on a "dead rum down Union
street, yelling for the citizens to give her room,
which they did without second invitation.
The officer started after her, and for little
while the race was exceedingly exciting, the
boys shouting, $50 in !" Goodbye, Mary
Jane y g III bet on you" &c. The Constable
saw that he was out-distanced and gave up
the race thinking it better to get rid of her in
that way than keep her over night. The last
seen of her she was making 2:40 time over the
Delaware Bridge.

saS One of the most conspicuous things at the
County Fair was the large canvas sign, 10 by
8 feet, displayed ON the principal building, so
that every one who entered the grounds must
have looked at it. On it, painted in the most
artistic style, by Vansciver, was this notice /:
Buy your notions, trimmings, millinery and
gents furnishing goods at III. G. Hooker's,
Lambertville, N. j." No one but Hooker
would have thought of going to the expense of
having such sign as that. 1t proves him to
be energetic, and those who favor him with
call will find splendid stock of the goods
enumerated, which he will sell as low as can
be purchased in New York or Philadelphia y

The REcoRD.-We intended last week to
furnish every Republican in our city, and
every Democrat who would at all be likely to
be interested in our Sheet with copy of our
first issue. We regret to learn that some were
missed in the distribution. It was no fault of
ours, and not intentional on the part of our
carrier. A large number called at our office
and got copies and persons stopped our car
rier away from their homes, and in endeavor-
ing to avoid the duplication of these and
of copies left in stores, workshops, Off
ces, &C., he unavoidably made Mistakes
In some instances where we know papers were
left, they turned up missing probably carried
off by some curious ones. AS far as we have
heard of omissions, we have endeavored to
supply them, and if there are others, we shall
be happy to do so, as far as we are able, as we
have some copies of our first number yet on
hand.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BEAUMONT DEER
PARK AssocrATIoN.-T the kindness
of Mr. j. S. Williams, we learn that the an
nual meeting of this Association was held at
the house of the Eagle Fire Co., in New Hope
on Wednesday, September 25th, at 10 A. NJ
Mr.. Joseph Smith was called to the chair and
]. S. Williams elected Secretary. The mana
gers made their annual report, in which they
expressed qualification at the financial pros
perity of the Association and the popularity of
the Park as place of resort. An amendment
was made to the bylaws changing the time
of meeting from the last Wednesday in Sep
TENDER to the first Wednesday in September,
and the quarterly meetings to corresponding
times. A vote of thanks was offered to j. j.
Thomas, Esq, of Phila., for the interest taken
by him in the association and for valuable
services rendered. Mr.. Thomas responded in
some general remarks on parks, the success of
their own undertaking, advised the enlarge
ment of the grounds by purchases to the
south and east, and also the increase of live
stock, stating there were eight fallow deer in
Clark Co., Va, probably the only ones in the
United States) which could be purchased on
reasonable terms. A committee consisting of
Messrs. Thomas, Johnson Cook, Cooley and
Paxson, were appointed to inspect the lands
alluded to, to ascertain the price, and report
to the Board of Directors whether they would
be desirable addition to the Park. The fol-
lowing directors were elected III. Scarborough,

sB- The sheriff of our county is severely
censured by some Of cur state papers in re-
gard to his want Of action in thu late riot at,
Pattenburgt
The Jersey City Times says:
We have boasted great deal Of Jersey Jus,
tice, and have no doubt that had the ina
gurs been the attacking party in this case,
we should have still boasted of It. But when
the interests of certain class are at stake,
what do we see? We tini q sheriff who does
not feel much interest m the murder of four
men; we find petty officers who are such
pitiable towards that they win not attempt to,
serve process; we find . coronep's jury gladly
smoothing over the case Of dead white man
as quickly possible with the verdict Of ssper-
sons unknown /" we find no inquest st an IN
the case of the three murdered negroes-they
being hurried under the ground like SO many
dead dogs.
Four days have gone by, and as yet no real
effort has been made to arrest any one of
these deliberate and defiant assassins. II .
Sheriff is evidently afraid In some way. He Ii
either pitiful, moral and pliysical.coward, or
else (which is more likely he fears that ar
resting these men for shooting niggcrs might
damage the prospects of his party in the
coming election. The local authorities have
utterly failed in an emergency Of suchJ great
moment, and, so far as they are concerned
the people of Hunterdon county must protect
themselves. This is sound Democratic
county, and may be depended upon for about
1900 majority every time. 1t gave Governor
Parker 1,641 last November,
The Newark Advertiser says:
The Sheriff of the county now stands in
hesitation while the law cries for protection
Is he ignorant of the resources ut his COM
mand or does he hesitate through cowartlice :?
AT word he may have a regiment of drilled
soldiers at his command and charge down the
rioters who have defied the laws. Why does
he delay?
Jersey Justice has always been the pride of
every Jerseyman and with good reason. The
term has hitherto had significance which
law-breakers learned not to underrate, and or
der was the result. Suddenly the breaking
down of the great precedent is threatened by
a parcel of unruly rioters, and the officers to
whom has been entrusted the preservation OF
the laws, hesitate and halt in the face of the
danger Their inaction must not be allowed
to endanger the cause of Justice any longer.
Let the high officers take the matter in hand
now and instantly. The defiance of New Jer-
sey law should not be allowed another day of
existence. 1t has now become Governor Par
ker's duty to act. The rioters must be seized
though it be done at the point of the bayonet,
and their example be made warning for fu-
ture violators of public peace and defiers of
the law. We cali upon Governor Parker to
cause the arrest of these men, and trust to-
morrow night will see the cause of peace and
order sustained.
We are inclined to believe that these stric-
lures are unjust. We think that sheriff
Rittenhouse intended to do his duty fully,
and until we have stronger and more specific
evidence than general charges, we do not feel
like condemning him.

GRAND REPUBLICAN DEMONSTRATION IN
NEW HOPE, PA.-One of the largest Republi-
can meetings of the season was held at New
Hope on last Friday evening. After music by
Carpenters Cornet Band, the meeting was or
ganized by electing ]. G. Pennington chair
man, who thanked the audience for the honor
conferred. The following gentlemen were
elected Vice Presidents John Whitley, Owen
Markey, r. E. Ely, VIM. c. BlaclSfan, d. r.
Reeder, George A. Cook, Hiram Ely, Watson
T. Naylor. Jos. III. Wallace and I. T. East
burn were elected Secretaries. DR.. E. B. Car
row, of Philadelphia, was then introduced as
the first speaker of the evening. He remarked
that he was not really able to do outdoor
speaking, and he would ask the people to re-
main quiet, so that they could hear him, which
they did for over one hour. He proceeded to
vindicate the character of General Grants adj
ministration, by enumerating some of the great
reforms instituted and carried through by him.
He spoke in glowing terms of his Indian policy,
showing that the cost of that was much less
foreign policy, proving Grant to be an able
statesman, and gave some interesting figures
in regard to the reduction of the National
debt DR.. Carrow was listened to with atten-
ton, and the sound argument which he used
will no doubt tell for good.
After music by the band, A. P. Shurz, ESQ.,,
of Doylestown, was introduced and spoke for
over an hour and a half. During his remarks
he paid a glowing tribute to the working man,
saying only few years ago he could have been
seen driving a mule along the canal, or stand
ing on the deck with the tiller in his
hand that although he was at the present
time practicing law, he was not whit better
than when transporting coal from the mines
to the cities no matter what mans position
of labor, if he honored that position by honesty
and faithfulness, he should enjoy the respect
and good wishes of the public. Mr.. Shurz
indicated Gen. Hartranft's character, and
showed the secession proc,ivities of c. r.
Buckalew, reading some very interesting cor
respondence from Col Wetzel and Adiutant-
General Shultz, showing him Q5uckalew) to be
implicated in the Fishing Greek, Columbia
county, rebellion, in 1864. He proceeded to
analyze the whole ticket and showed up the
good and bad qualities of each candidate lie
also charged that while Democrats and Demo-
cratic papers in Bucks county were charging
Hartranft with having defrauded the State of
$1,000, they We're very careful to keep quiet
about the 1923, 900 which the county of Bucks
had been defrauded of by Democratic officials.
Mr.. Shurz is an earnest speaker, and drives
home his remarks to the hearts of his hearers
He closed by proposing three cheers for Grant,
Wilson, Hartranft and the whole ticket.
The meeting then adjourned. Altogetherit
was decided success. The Republicans of
New Hope have more enthusiasm than ever
before, and intend to do good work on the
second Tuesday i'll October as well as in No
vember.

Ochiltree, of Texas, Gen. Bingham, the old

determination to do their part in electing Gen.
John F. Hartranft as the next Governor Of
Pennsylvania.

took charge of the money department and sue
ceeded in raising So, 900 in money and sub
scrptions. The citizens of New Hope did
WE'LL and it was gratifying to find quite num-

times he said, '|In the name of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost we lay this cornerstone
of house to be used for the worship of AL
mighty God according to the forms of the
Methodist Chnrch." The congregation were
then dismissed with the benediction.

ing the funeral of Mr.. Runk, on Thursday
last came very near having serious accident
happen to him and those in the carriage with
him. just at the top of the hill in Rosemont
the axle of the wagon broke and let it down.
There were two ladies and boy in the car
riage with him, but no damage was done to

doubt it would have resulted seriously.
