Hon. r. MILTON SPEER requests us to
announce that the Democratic Congression-
al Conferees in this district will meet ut
Woods Eschange Hotel, Altoona, on nest
Monday, the 28th instant, at 8 o'clock, p.
NJ, to Nominate q candidate for Congress.
The Sonferees from this county are, JOHN
CAMPBELL, Esq, of Conemaugh borough,
P. II. SHIELDS, Esq, of Loretto, and E. r.
DUNCAN, Esq, of St. Augustine. We
trust that these gentlemen will all be pres
ent at the Conference and by their votes aid
in making the denomination of Mr.. SPEER
unanimous, as we have no doubt it will be.
When that is done, we will have good
deal to say On the subject, although Mr..
SPERR does not need defence at the hands
OF any man or party organ in the district
His record in Congress is the best and most
complete vindication of his fitness and ca
paeity and of his claims upon the people
of the district for renewed expression OF
their confidence.

NEW PARCEL POSTAL LAw.-The new
postal law, if people choose to avail them
selves of its advantages, will seriously in
terfere with the express business, which is
not wholly free from the charge of being an
oppressive monopoly. An exchange gives
some suggestions which are valuable, AS
follows:
By the new postal law which came into
operation on the list Of July, packages of
dry-goOds, hardware, drugs, Except liquor
drugs, and other merchandise not exceed
ing twelve ounces in weight, can be mailed
TO any part of the United States at n charge
OF two cents for each two ounces. Much
time and money will be saved by this ar
rangement. The express companies de-
mand at least thirty cents for the transpor-
tation OF a package, however small, for
any distance. The post-office authorities
on the other hand, will forward n twelve
ounce package to San Francisco for twelve
cents. For instance, pair of boots, if
neither boot weighs more than the specified
twelve ounces, may be wrapped up in two
separate parcels, and sent across the conti-
nent for twcnty-four cents whereas, under
the old plan, the transportation of goods of
this description would have cost almost
moro money than they are worth. Up to
the present time the post-office has lost
money Dy the new system, simply owing to
the fact that the general public has not
taken advantage of it to such an extent as
viii make it remunerative. But it is ex-
pected that, when the advantages of the
system are appreciated, the scheme will
prove as profitable to the Government vs. il
is beneficial to the public. 1t is an adap-
tion of the English parcel post, and al
though the charges in England are some
what less than the rate adopted here, yet,
when it is remembered that the distances
are as nothing when compared with those
in this country, it win be seen that there is
no cause for dissatisfaction.

A MIRACULOUS EsCAPE.-The Scranton
Republican says One of the most miracu-
lous escapes from a horrible death that has
ever come to our notice occurred at Cayuga
shaft, near Providence, on Saturday last,
under the following circumstances: Cay
uga shaft is $40 feet deep and it has be-
come necessary to use two pumps, one to
raise the water half the distance, and the
other to bring it to the top. J. T. Morgan
and another man were at work in the pump
half way down the shaft. Some planks
were laid across the shaft, and Morgan hay-
ing occasion to cross, the plank broke, and
he was precipitated to the bottom, a dis
tance of 1873 feet. Some men working near
the foot of the shaft heard a cry and pro
ceeding to the spot found him in about two
and half feet of water, and to their amaze
ment Morgan related to them how the plank
had broken 1873 feet above, and he had fall
en- down. Not a bone was broken, and
except a slightly sprained ankle, and lit
tie bruise on the chest, he was uniniured.
Upon what theory can this miraculous es-
cape be accounted for? Mr.. Morgan wore
pair of wide oil-cloth pants, tight around
the waist, and two oil-clOth coats, buttoned
close at the neck. The theory advanced
by Mr.. Benjamin Hughes, the Superinten-
dent, is that the air inflated his wide clothes,
and his descent was comparatively easy.

CHARLES r. BUCKALEw.-AL Labor Vie,c
After mature deliberation and after con-
sulting those especially interested in the
utterances of this paper, we enter the list
and shall support Hon. Charles r. Bucka-
lew for Governor. We attach but little
significance to political platforms. They
are at best but fabrics of straw, and are
liable to collapse any moment after the cleo
ton. We have seen too much OF party
politics to attach any importance to these
frall structures. Let us have good men.
and measures will be right With bad all
the platforms ever reared will be but ''as
the idle wind which they regard not''
The first consideration should therefore
be to secure good man-able honest and
relable. SO far as the material interests OF
the Commonwealth are concerned, there is
but little profesSed difference between the
two parties. They both profess to believe
in prudent and economical management
of the finances. They both profess to cher
ish the interests and the honor of the State,
and to guard the welfare of tho people 4
good man of either party would carry out
the vital principles. A bad man of either
party would sacrifice these principles to Sc
cure his own advantages. We therefore
want man who has been found faithful.
We do do not want one who has been suS-
Pected. Now, we cannot help it that the
man above reproach happens to be the
Democratic candidate nor can we help
1T that the Republican candidate is not free
from suspicion. We are, therefore, inn
PEELED by sense of duty to support the
Democratic candidate-not because he is a
Democrat, but because we want a man who
has the nerve, the ability, and the hO1.esty
to carry out the principles of public ccono-
my, irrespective of party trammels.
Holding these views, we are irresistibly
forced to support Mr.. Buckalew, and We are
free to say that we would just as ardently
espouse the cause of the Republican candi-
date, If the personal aspects of the question
had been reversed. We take our stand
under the banner of Buckalew, Lecause he
is an able and All honest man and we op-
pose HaItranft because we believe he is not

TACTICS TO HELP HARTRANFT.

Especial Correspondence of the worid.l
EAsToN, Penna., August Il, 1812.-Re-
liable information has been received that
a fund of 50, O0O, ,0G0 has been put into the
service of the Administration in this State
Simon Cameron himself pays $1,000, 600.
The election of Buckalcw here in October
would be fatal to the success of Grant in
November. Desperate extrcmities must
be resOrted to, and they are at hand. It
is notorious that the city of Philadelphia
has at any time since the war been Demo-
cratic ON a fair count but the Registry
law of that city, passed by a Radical Leg
lslature in the interests of the ring, has
made an honest vote impossible. Where
the Board of Aldermen is obliged to ap-
point Democrat, either for registration,
or in the election board, they select their
man, and pay him for keeping his eyes
shut. Cameron has already made his own
ticket in Philadelphia. William b. Mann
in the meeting of the State Central Com
mittec, called for the purpose Of nominat-
ing another candidate for Governor, and
throwing Hartranft over to appease the
wrath of the whole, declared that the city
would give $1,000 Republican majority.
and he knows how it can be done. SO do
we, though We remain powerless to pre-
vent it.
The Postmaster of this place has been
authorized to draw upon the funds for
$1,000 to wager upon the success of Hart
ranft. This is good game of bluff, and
they play it well. Cameron's experience
in buying votes, and fraudulentIy count
ing others unpurchasable, places his in
tentiOn, if not his ability, beyond reason
of denial. As such is the game let Penn
sylvania be ready.

THE BELFAST RIoTs.-Lo7don,A AUg. 90.
Especial to the New York Herald. 1.-The
Orange riots in Belfast continue with una
bated fury, and in that city a regular panic
prevails, and many respectable people have
fled. The Orangemen, in bodies of three
hundred to four hendred, issued from their
headquarters in Sandy row, and rushed
through the streets like demons, firing in
all directions.
1t is feared they will attempt to demolish
several Catholic institutions, and large rein
forcements of constabulary have according
ly surrounded them to resist attack. Sew
eral regiments, including detachments from
the royal larracks in Dublin, were drawn
up to-day in High street, Donegal street,
and the vicinity of Linen Hall, ready to
charge the rioters. Dragons and mounted
constabulary patrolled the city last night.
the shooting was brisk as ever, and in many
cases innocent persons were killed.
Bitter outcries are made against the au
thorities, who allowed the fiends to pelt the
troops with brickbats, wreck churches and
stores, and perpetrate atrocious murders
before they gave word of command. The
mode of warfare is cowardly in the extreme.
and people walking quietly along are shot
down like dogs.

ARURAL WEDDING.-Oneo those olden-

CURED. a young gentleman and lady,
strangers to everybody here, called on the
Squire to get married. The young man
was carrying his shoes in his hands on ac-
count of a stone-bruiSe, and had on his
shoulder long, narrow sack; III one end
he had something in appearance to wearing
apparel, and in the front end he had a
small dog, with its nose sticking out of a
hole. The young lady had in her arms one
of those large Maltese cats, with a pink
ribbon around its neck, fastened with a
neat breast pin. When they came to the
Office the young man refused DO go in, but
she, taking hold of his coat, said, Come
on, / amt afraid" Finally he went in.
She says, Esquire we want to get mar

The price was agreed on, and, in the mean
time, many had gathered, and two of the
crowd acted as attendants. While the

THE subjoined extract, clipped from the
Harrisburg Patriot, furnishes leaf from
the life record of CHARLES ALBRIGHT.
Radical candidate for large
which we commend to the perusal of his
old friends and acquaintances in Cambria
county:
"ALBRIsHT entered the service as major
OF the 132d regiment, nine months organ
ization, in 1862, and returned home as COL
onel. Some time after his return he issued
circular proposing to raise one years
regiment i'll the valley of the Lehigh. The
regiment was raised, and ALBRIGHT took
his men to Harrisburg. While here he met
committee from Banks township, Car
bon county, who were in search of men to
fill up the quota of that township under the
draft. He offered himself to the commit
tee as substitute, was accepted, was mus
tered in, and received the bounty of five
hundred dollars. The records show that
he was mustered in company 4. 202d req
iment, on the 3d. September, 1854, in p,fT-
suance OF this arrangement with the com
mlttee, and was duly credited to Banks
township, Carbon county. The next day.
September4, 1864, he was mustered out as
private and was mustered in as colonel of
the regiment, in pursuance of his circular
and of his understanding with Governor

THE NJ Y. Sum of Monday publishes a
startling revelation, wherein it is shown
that Grant supported and concealed the
payment of forged pension claims in the

IN the South, none of whom ever received
the money. After johnson dismissed this

Horace greeley at Portland.

We publish on our outside page a speech
delivered by HORACE GREELEY at Port
land, Maine, to an immense concourse of
people composed of Liberal Republicans
and Democrats, on last Wednesday week.
He has been making tour through por-
tion of Connecticut, New Hampshire, (his
native State and extended his visit far
ccived and welcomed with the most un-
bounded enthusiasm by the people, en-
bracing all the Democrats and thousands
Of Liberal Republicans, who admire his
honesty of character and purity OF purpose
as the coming President-a fact, which no
man fit to be outside of lunatic asylum
now doubts for moment. This speech OF
Mr.. GREELEY is more elaborate and more
fairly meets and explains the issues OF the
pending contest than any other of the short
addresses he has yet made. 1t was dellv-
cred at the right place and at the right
time, and sounds the keynote Of the cam
paign from Maine, where it was delivered,
to Oregon. 1t is the bugle blast of RoDER-
&c DHU that will rally the people both in
the North and the South in defence of
GREELEY, and will scatter the hired and
mercenary clans of GRANT as chaff is lifted
up and whirlcd before the wind. We ask
any man, no matter what his political pref
ercnccs may be, to read this plain and en-
phatic address of HORACE GREELEY and
then say, if he can, that GREELEY is rot
an honest and sincere man and a true lover
of his country. How boldly, manfully and
eloQuently he defines his position as the ad-
vocate of peace and good viii between the
North and South How plainly he disposes
of the miserable slander that he, if elected
President, would advocate the payment of
pensions to rebel soldiers. And then how
glOriously he goes for that Internal crew in
the South, the carpet-baggers, who have
been robbing and plundering the Southern
States and literally eating out the substance
and life Of their people. How honest and
upright is his concluding denunciation of
that unholy set of plunderers when he pro-
phetically exclains and predicts their fate:
~ think I hear voice from the honest
people OF all the States declaring that this
iniquity shall be gainful and insolent no

next. By that time these criminals will
have heard a national verdict pronounced
that will cause them to fold their tents like
arabs and silently steal away and that
trust will be the end of their stealing at the
cost OF the good name of our country and
the well-being of her people,"
We honor HORACE GREELEY for this
bold reafiirmation of what everyfntelligent
man knows arc the views and opinions no
has consistently advocated since the close
of the war. 1t is a noble speech, patriotic
In all its utterances, plea for justice and
right, protest against bayonet rule and
the suspension Of the writ of hd6eas corpus
in the South, and in favor of Abraham
Lincoln's humane policy as expressed in his
second annual message, with malice to-
wards none and with charity to ALL

Simon Cameron and SAINT Henry.

Without rehearsing the disgraceful po-
itical career Of SAMUEL. C. PoMERoY, one
of the present Radical United States Scna-
tors from Kansas, or even referring to JIM
NYE, Radical Senator from Nevada, it is
an admitted fact that SIMON CAMERON,
now the colleague of JOHN SCOTT in the
Senate from this State, is as corrupt as
either the Senator from Kansas or the Sem
ator from Nevada. 1t is a remarkable fact
in the political history Of CAMERON, that he
has never been a candidate for any office
the result of which must and would be de-
termined by the popular vote. His bust
ness has been to corrupt and debauch tho
Legislature of this State and in that dis
honorable way to secure his election to the
United States Senate position which he
is notoriously Incompetent to fill with eth
er credit or honor to the State. He first
debauched the Legislature in 1S45 and
bought his way to the Senate. In 1857 he
repeated the same game. His third at
tempt was made in 1863, when he was baf-
fled by CHARLES r. BUcKALEw, the pres
ent Democratic candidate for Governor,
made another and successful attempt and,
by the open and unblushing use of money
secured his election. His term of office
will expire on the 4th Of next March, and
1t will therefore become the duty of the
next Legislature to elect his successor.
SIMON CAMERON is a candidate for re-
election, and if SAMUEL HENRY is again
returned to the Legislature from this coun-
ty, he will of course vote for him, as he has
perfect right to do, if his political con-
science can approve the act. If United
States Senators were elected by a vote of
the people, there is not to-day a Democrat
in Cambria county who would vote for
such notoriously corrupt man as SIMON
CAMERON. That being admitted, how can
any Democrat vote for SAMUEL HENRY and
thereby possibly enable him HBNRY) to
cast vote for CAMERON in the Legislature,
in direct violation of the honest sentiments
of every Democrat in the county7 Ought
a Democrat by his vote to invest SAMUEL
HENRY with power to do an act which he
(the Dsmocrat) would never do himself ?
If any man who is sincerely Democrat
can do so, he might just as well vote for
Hartranft for Governor.
Horace GREELEY ud1 be elected Presi-
dent and majority of the next Congress
will be supporters of his administration
The United States Senat must be brought
into political accord with the new admins
tration, and one of the starting points to
bring about that result is to elect Demo
cratic Legislature in this State, which will
Danish CAMERON from the Senate and elect
an honest man to fill his place. Will Dem
ocrats commit political suicide by voting for
SAM'L HENRY, which is the same tbino as
voting for CAMERON? Consistency in pol-
itics is jewel, and we say to any Demo-
crat who may be seduced into the support
of SAMUEL HENRY, do not enable him bv
your vote to consummate an act which you
would blush for and would be ashamed to
perform yourself.
