NOT MUCH OF A CRIME.-Tbe Bedford
Inquirer is laboring mos. energetically to
elect General Coffr0tb to Congress- What
motives prompted or governed Gen. Cof-
froth in voting for the constitutional
amendments and generally sustaining the
war measures demanded by the exigencies
of the times we do not know nor do we care
to know. He was elected in a strong Re
publican district, and in voting tn sustain
the war measures demanded by Mr.. Lin
coins administration he but carried out
the wishes of majOrityof his constituents
TINS simply doing a patriotic duty. If his
motive was to concilitate his constituency
to secure a e-election there was certainly
nothing very criminal in that. But that he
was on the side Of right while so many Of
his fellow Congressman were on the wrong
side is fact that must be accepted and in
terpreted that General Coffroth was acting
from an honest motive and a patriotic
principle. There will be few that will fault
him at this late day for being in accord
with the then prevailing sentiment of the
people as reflected by the Republican party.
We are not aware that the country has un-
dergoue any great change of sentiment as
to the wisdom and propriety of Gen. Cof-
froth's course in Congress on all these mat
ters. If he supported the war by his vote
and voice in the nations councils ne should
not be blamed for it any more than Gen.
Campbell who gallantly did thesame thing
with his pecuniary means in the hour of
his country's necessity, and with his sword
on the tented field. The Inquirer has not
yet learned that the war ended about a
dozen years ago that since then there has
been great financial crash, followed by
general commercial and industrial depres-
sion and distress, the fruitage of the war,
from which the people are seeking relief
Fogy-hke 1t is burrowing among the musty
records OF the past, instead Of dealing with
the living present. The ''ensanguined
rag" has become too tattered and faded to
attract much atteLtion outside of those
whose arms never become weary of dis.

THE nomination of Gen. Coffroth as the
Democratic candidate for Congress in this
district, seems to have affected the editor
of the Bedford Inquirer in the same way
thata red flag does belligerent bull, when
it is shaken in his front in the arena by a
Spanish matadore. 1t does no: follow be-
cause man is nominated for Congress by
either of The political parties that he is
| therefore scoundrel-oorrupt and dishon-
est--or that be is tricksteT who is not to
be trusted Such, however, is the low
ground occupied by the Inquirer in regard
to Gen. Cofroth. Its assaults upon him
ever since his nomination have been so vio-
lent and uncalled for, that the Altoona
Tribune, an independent paper, which is
anxious TO see justice done to both Gen.
Coffroth and his opponent, Gen. Campbell,
felt constrained a couple of weeks ago TO
administer to it deserved rebuke. It's
admonition, however, was not needed by
Gen. Campbell's Bedford organ, but only
made it more abusive, if possible, which
has moved the Tribune again to interpose
between the Inquirer and the object of its
wrath, Gen. COffroth, in its issue of Mon
day last, 10 a brief article which will be
found in another part of our paper. Vile
and indiscriminate abuse of a candidate
always reacts in his favor, aud as General
Coffroth happens to be well known all over
Bedford county, the malignant articles Of
the Inquirer will cause good many men
to vote for him who might otherwise have
declined to do so.

How the SOutherners get down on their
launches and plead for help from the North
when they get sick; when they are well they
want to fight.
When the devil got sick the devil saint would be-
When the devil got well the devil a saint was he.
If they would he less lazy when they are well;
from those whom they affect to desDise when
they are well.-Johrst0,Cn Tribune
In contrast with the devilish spirit which
prompted these brutal utterances, how re-
deeming and ennobling are the efforts of
the men and women OF the big hearted
North, with the milk of human kindness
running through their veins, to minister to
the wants aud alleviate the suffer:nos of
the fever stricken and almost depopulated
cities and towns in the lower Mississippi
valley? Human nature instinctively pro-
tests against the unfeeling and cowardly
taunts hurled by the Tribune at PROSTATE
helpless, and sorely afflicted people. In a
speech which Thaddeus Stevens once de-
livered in criminal case in a neighborino
county, in this: State, and in which a wit,
ness for the prosecution had exhibited some
OF the same spirit OF did60Ijsna that per-
vades the above extract from the TrfJune.
he said of him to the jury: Judging
from the fell spirit of hate towards the de-
fendant which this witness has manifested
in his testimony, if it were given to him to
locate his own heaven, be would select
spot on the confines Of the Internal regions.
where with uumixed pleasure he could
forever hear and enjoy the groans and
agouies OF the damned"

NOW WHO rs ANDREW Fl. DIIL?-Not
having the good fortune to inherit dollars
and property from most worthy father,
raised in poverty and having to look to his
own efforts for success, Andrew II. Dill is
by inheritance, instinct and education the
trend OF those who like himself have to
buffet the world for a livelihood and earn
their daily bread by hard work. Though
bis district always contained considerable
Republican majority, the people thereof
always elected him whenever opportunity
offered. They watched his course, the v
studied his record, they keenly scanned his
whole conduct his political oppoueDts
chagrined by repeated defeat in their
stronghold, criticized his every act with
the utmost desire to find fault and thus
cripple or destroy him yet such were the
rectitude of his conduct and his faithful
ness to their Interests, that those hardy
sons of toll Though politically opposed)
four times elected Andrew ii. Dill to the
Legislature from Republican districts
there he was ever the friend and champion
OF popular rights and the best interests OF
the people, the rank and file, the farmers
mechanics and laboring men who elected
him Our limits do not permit us to refer
to his votes in detail but # they bad not
oeen OF the most unexcepiiona5le character
and most thoroughly in the interests of the
working people, Republican counties and
districts would not have repeatedly elected
him to represent them. That is the most
positive proof of the purity and fidelity of
official life, the propriety of his votes, and
the patriotism of his purposes. Such en-
dorsements, under such circumstances. are
at once convincing and overwhelming eyi-
dence OF great competency aud unquestion-
able integrity. From the time he passed
the threshold Of manhood to the maturity
OF middle age, Andre " II. Dill has been
prominent in the public view of bis constit-
uen:s, and it is therefore proud thing TO
say that no blemish rests upon his charac-
ter. public or private. Always acting in
pn6lle, and for the public, neither his
nelghbors or others could be mistaken in
his character, and those neighbors at all
times and under all circumstances endorsed
him. Such is Andrew II. Dill.

The Democratic State Committee of
Massachusetts met at Boston last week and
fixed the time for holding the State con-
vention on the nth of this month. There
was an almost unanimous desire expressed
by the members that the State. as well as
the country. should understand that the
Democracy of Massachusetts will not coun-
tenance any trucking to, or any trade made
with Ben Butler. This is right, and is the
only way by which they can preserve their
honor and their organization in all its in
tegIity, let the election result as it NAV.
In the meantime, Butler in long letter has
consented to become a candidate for Gov.
ernor at the request of fffty-one thousand.
more or less, of workingmen, who signed
petitions and sent them to him with that
object in view If these signers, who are
simply ministering to the vanity and per-
sonal aims of a practiced demagogue.
would unite with the true Democracy of
the State, between whom and themselves
there are many essential purposes in COM
mon, they might be able to accomplish a
substantial victory. But as Butler, like
his prototype of old, would rather be the
first man in country village than the sec.
ond man IN Rome, their strength vii! only
be frittered away upon him, and will render
certain the triumph of the political dynasty
which they profess such eager anxiety To
overthrow.

s5rtesn candidates nominated, sir are Dem

FtUe are new men, and eleceB had been pre-

of the new nominees is Hon. James IT.
Hopkins for State Senator. These nomi-
nations have been made in the interest of
legislative reform, aud it is claimed will
defeat several of the Republican ring can
diGates. II such should be the outcome.
Cameronism will suffer TO that extent, and
the citizens of Allegheny county will have

for three years, and during the past three
months bad been failing rapidly. She is
about % years of age, of neat appearance ce
and good demeanOr, and has many warm
friends in the neigh bborhood who watched
the progress of her disease with anxiety.
She was attended by Drs. Miltenberper.
Milholland, Spicer, and other physicians
without appearing to experience any per
manent relief or improvement.
lew weeks ago Father Ahern, of St

moved by her piety and patience, suggest
ed to her tn make novena to St. Vincent
and st. Peter, and to pray for the Lord to
restore her to health. On st. Peters dav
Father AhreD celebrated Mass for her. and

She had Tor some time experienced some
deollIty, which, however, day by day was

to her usual domestic avocations. She is
regular attendant at the o'clock Mass
at St. Peters church. While her health

heard her prayer and the suppIications of
her friends and restored her 20 health.

THEifainre of Jay Cooke & CO. occurred
in September, 1873--fve years ago-and
was the signal Of the financial crash that
followed throughout the country, and which
has continued ever since to oppress and
weigh it down. Several dividends, small
in amount, have from time to time been
declared, and it is now announced that the
final distribution will be made about the
LIST of October, which will make a total of
81 per cent. of each claim against the
estate--a much hetter showing than was
at first anticipated.

On Thursday morning, five miles be.
low Chester, on the Illinois shore of the
mississippi, sixty miles below st. Louis. a
boy about years of age was found floating
on the trunk OF cottonwood tree. Two
farm hands, who were crossing the river in
a skiff, noticed the trunk of a tree f1oatino
and something lying on the top of it.
they pulled up to the tree, which was
about 100 feet long, and found a vonro
boy. The little fellow was lying in kind
OF hollow formed in the trunk. He was
unconscious and in high state of fever,
and his wasted form and emaciated loob
bespoke long abstinence from food. The
boy is still unable to converse, and it is
not known who he is or where he comes
from. The presumption is that he must
have drifted on the trunk from some point
near the mouth of the Missouri, venturino
upon the trunk while it was lying close to
the banks. The little fellow must have
been on the trunk five Or six days, drifting
100 miles, during which time he had no
sustenance.

The political campaign has fairly COM
menced in Ohio and Indiana, and in a
short time will be at fever heat. The cleo
tion in both States will take place on the
first Tuesday in October. In Ohio, which
does not elect Legislature this year, the
Democrats are pretty certain to elect ma
jority Of the Congressman. In Indiana the
exciting question is the Legislature, upon
tie complexion Of which will depend the
re election of Daniel w. Voorhees, 10 the
L. 5. Senate In each State both parties
have their ablest men on the stump. and
Immense mass meetings are being held and
addressed by them. The Greenback vote
in Ohio will not likely control the election
OF congressman to any great extent. bu, it
will undoubtedly have that effect in In
diana.
