Voters OF Snyder County.

EDITOR PosT-The following are
some of the reasons why A. X. Gift
should be elected to the Office of
County Surveyor, instead of 7. NJ,
Teats, the democratic candidate.
1st. Mr.. Gift resides and keeps
his Office in Middleburg, which is
the most convenient place, for all
having official business with him (:
Whereas Mr.. Teats, his opponent,
lives in the extreme Southwestern
end of the county, being therefore
very inconvenient for those having
business with him, and not the place
to keep a county Office.
I'd According to the new consti-
tuition Section 4th, Page 28, in case
Mr.. Teats was elected he could not
serve or hold his office; because said
Section provides thus 'Prothonota-
ries, Clerks of Courts, Recorders of
Deeds, Registers of Wills, comfy
Surveyors and Sheriffs, shall keep
their Offices in the county town, of
the county in which they respect,
lively shall be officers. A VoTER,

Well Done, Beck.

Mr. BECK, of Kentucky, has been thorn
in the side of the Radical party. He leaves
Congress at the end of the session, of his
own motion; but he does not mean to falter
in the performance Of bis duty to bis coun-
try for all that. The telegram from Wash
ipgton showed that on Friday be
made gallant. attack upon Whit Is
called the Department Of Justice, but which
he boldly denounced as the Department OF
Injustice. He declared that Attorney. Gene.
raj WILLIAMS was q more guilty man in con-
nection with the sffairs of Louisiana than
Judge DuRELL, who resigned from sense
Of his own guilt. ..."
This attack was manly and just, and is
sure to have its coed effect. In times of IT,
Fanny and profligacy in Government places
such men as Mr. BECK are Invaluable to
their country. If usurpation and fraud
were unnoticed they would steadily gro"
until the whole country would be overspread
by them and people would submit, afraid
ia lift their voices against them. A gallant
and manly protestation opens the way to a.
tack, gives courage to the oppressed, and
alarms the guilty who cover from public
scrutiny andtrom conscientious conviction
of their own vices.
Mr.. BECK hes never hesitated to declaim
against wrong and outrage, and he has
given their defenders world Of trouble.
When he relires from Congress he may carry
with him the conviction that he has per.
formed his duty, and be will be awarded the
Aunapimous applause Of the great body OF
the people who are now endeavoripg to res
cue the nation from misgovernment.

An incident Of the laie congressional cam.
1sien in this State. probably went far to en-.
courage the impression that Vigipians were
swa,mirg about the Federal city. !, Mr.. BAR
soUR, the ndepep dent candidate inthe Eau

ground that he bad, like Colonel Messy, a
sort Of irhuerce with the Administration
which Guild enable him TO secure office and
enolument for a considerable number OF
hungry aspirants.
This ground of support was mortifyingt to
a proper State pride at home, while it helped
to give Us a bad name abroad. The in
ference from Ibis fact was unjust to Virginia.
Mir. BARBOUR was beaten. The argument in
his behalf, although his district bordered
upon the Potomac, and many Of the hungry

several pre- minent Virgnians together as as

thrilling narrative by MAJOR POWELL Of his voy-
age of discovery down the Canon OF the Colorado
almost literally voyage through the centre of the
earth. +
The cliffs lowered sometimes more than mile
above the heads of the travellers, involving them
in gloom, and hiding from their sight the dangers
toward which they were hurried by the Impetuous
torrent.
The narrative Is enlivened by charming bits of de-
scription OF the gentler and more beautiful phases
Of nature. which were strangely mingled with those
weird and awful scenes

upon what seemed an insane journey, turned aside
and met death In the wilderness. .art
