THAT S1OO BUGBEAR.

1t devolves upon the FREEMAN as an
exponent of Democratic principles to re-
fer at some length to the connection OF
former County Commissioners with the
military fund, in regard to which the
blowers and strikers of +. IL, Barker,
the candidate of the Republican bosses
for County Treasurer, and OF Samuel
w. Davis, one of the bosses candidates
for County Commissioner, are attempt
ing to mislead and impose on the hon
est voters of the county and to make
little capital for the Republican county
ticket.
A law creating military fGnd was
passed imposing heavy additional duties
on the County Commissioners long be-
fore John a. Kennedy was elected Com
missioner. The Commissioners had no
right to tax this fnnd to the general tax
PAYERS of the County, and they there
fore required the Military fund to bear
its own expenses.
Every Commissioner, living and dead.
Democrat and Republican followed this
Just and equitable rule. We refer 10
James Cooper and Abel Lloyd, both llY-
ing ex-COmmissioners and strong Repub-
licans, for the truth of what we say.
They received their pay from this fund,
and did it honestly .andno man who know
these gentleman will say that +. II. Bar
ker is their superior in either mental
or moral worth. To these men we ap-
peal because they are Republicans and
honest citizens. They acted TO relieve
the taxpayers Of Cambria County and
took their pay from the military fund.
Every Democratic Commissioner did the
same.
The act of 1864 (see PurdOn's s Digest,
page 1040), defined it the duties OF the
Commissioners. Our readers may not
have the book before them The asses
sors were required to present list to
the Commissioners, and the COmmlS-
sioners were required I'D section) to Ie-
cord said roll or list of names, IN book
they were required to keep for that pur-
pose. The Commissioners were requlr-
ed to keep the books open for inspection
to every visitor, until certain day.
''when and where the assessOrsand Com
missioners of the county would meet to
review such enrolment
The act also required the Commission
ers to hear all affidavits and review the
enrolment, and the Commissioners were
required to decide on exemptions, and
to make the entries on the roll, Besides
this, the Commissioners were bound to
make a list of the exempted parties To
be fled. They wex further required to
report to the AdjuJant General, and a
penalty of $500 was imposed upon them
in case they neglected to perform their
whole duty in the premises. Mr.. Ken
nedy received his pay for this, as did al

L. :. SENATOR WILLIAMS, OF ken
tucky, Familiarity called "Cerro Gordo
Williams. '' for distinguished bravery in
the Mexican war, made q short speech
last Saturday afternoon, while the Sen
ate was ia executive session, in which
he made a most palpable hit. The ques-
ton before the Senate was the cOufirma-
tiou of Stratham as postmaster at Lynch
burg. Virginia, who was nominated by
Mr.. Arthur to carry out the corrupt bar
gain made last winter between the Re
publican Senators and Malone, who, as
our readers know. is an ex-Tebei Gener-
al. The Democratic Senators were de-
termined as one of theiI number. Vest.
Of Missouri, had boldly declared, to fight
Stratham' s confirmation until ''the snow
fell. ." and on the afternoon referred to,
Ferry, of Michigan, announced that the
Republicans had concluded to give up
the contest. Mr.. Williams then said II
never dreamed, Mr.. President, that l
should live to see the day when an eX-
Confederate brigadier would lead the
Republican hosts to defeat. or hear an
old slave owner call the roll Of his faith

Hill but in the chamber of the Senate

self smiled very broad smile at the
neat hit of the gallant Kentuckian.

EX-GOVERNOR MORGAN. of New

clined TO accept the Office, putting his re-
fusal upon the ground of the delicate con-
diJiOn of his health. His nomination
was we'll received throughout The coun-
try and he questiOnably would have
made a cTeditable minister Ct the Treas
ury department if he had seen his wav
clear in risking its acceptance The
President, it seems, for some peculiar
reasons of his own which are the exact
opposite of Gen. GaTtield's reasons for
comforting the Office on Window. of
Minnesota, was determined upon having
a New \ Ork man at the head of the
Treasury, and his next choice was Chas.
J. FOlger, Chief Justice of that State.
who was confirmed by the Senate. Judge
FOlger started ont in politics as a Dem
ocrat, but in lS4S supported Van Buren,
for President against CaSs. and after
that found his way into the Republican
camp open and unobstructed. He is a
man of very considerable ability and
the chances are strongly in favor of his
making a reliable and efficient officer
This is the only change that will be made
in Garfeld's cabinet until Congress
meets in December, the other members
having consented to remain until that
time, with the exception of Mac Veagh,
the Attorney General, who has not yet
determined whether he Will go, or stay
and prosecute to completion the cases
against the Star Route swindlers. The
new cabinet, when formed, will be made
pof men who have been conspicuous in
their devotion to Grant. and all the cor
ruptions in administering the govern
ment that his name implies.

(. Senate gave Mr.. Arthur distinctly to
understand 10y their action on Friday
and Saturday last that they will defeat,
if they can. his nominations of Mahone's
henchmen to important postmastershirs
in Virginia. They successfully resist
ed all the efforts of the Republican Sen
ators 10 confirm Mahone's man, STRAIT
ham as postmaster at Lynchburg, in
that state, and deserve the thanks of
every honest man for doing so. Mr..
Arthur. however, who as Vice Presi-
dent was a party to the corrupt coalition
last March between Malone and the Re-
publican Senators, promptly came to
Mahone's rescue on Monday, by suspen-
ding Wilson. the present postmaster,
who Fought in the Union army under
Grant at Nicksburg, and appointing
Stratham, who was then fighting in the
rebel army under Malone himself, as is
fair to presume. This country now has
fOI its President man who is not
ashamed TO throw his official patronage
and influence into the scale in favor of
a party the avowed purpose of whose
leader is the robbery OF Virginia's cred

who knows him wouldn'ta as soon believe
that an Ethiopian can change the color
of his skin as that Cameron can ever
quit politics, which has been the meat on
which he has fed during the last half
century. OF Mr.. Arthur this Pennsyl-
