a PREsENTATIoN.-Afte the Prince of
Wales returned to this city from his visit
to the President of the United States, at
Washington, our esteemed fellow citizen
and accomplished artist, Mr.. George DIAL
maine, sent to Lord Lyons very perfect
likeness of President Buchanan, executed
in pastel, or colored crayons, requesting
his Lordship TO present it to the Prince Of
Wales. The receipt of it was acknowl-
edged in the following note when the
Prince reached Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Q, 1860.

George D'Almaine, Esq, Baltimore.
The above, cut from an old issue of the
Baltimore Sun, refers to the gentleman
who is at present favoring Bellefonte with
his artistic services. Upon calling at his
studio, on Thursday morning of last week,
we were warmly welcomed, and most
agreeably entertained Among many 9TH
er life-like representations we were es-
pccially impressed by an oil painting of
our townsman, A. o. Furst, Esq, which
is so perfect in every detail and SO much
like our esteemed legal friend that we
could scarcely refrain from speaking TO
him. Inquiry as to the nature of French
pastel painting induced the artist TO ex-
hibit a portrait of the great-grandmotber
of Robert Valentine, Esq, a reproduction
from an aged oil painting, which for beau
tiful, harmonious blending of colors and
tints, and perfect execution of features and
expression can have no superior. Num-
erous portraits, in crayon work werc seat
tered throughout the room, each and all
evincing the same delicacy of touch, faith
fulness in natural expression, real artistic
skill and refined taste. The half hour,
spent in company of Mr.. D'Almaine, sur
rounded by the many friends whom we
recognized at glance, will ever be recall-
ed with genuine pleasure,

The Science OF Swind!ing.

What the Treasury swindlerS who flour.
ished unds4 Grant didn't know about
fleecin hpvernment it would have
puzzleGKLF himself to divine. Ev.
cry day brings fresh revelations of the
devilish skill they displayed in the con
cocting of schemes to bleed the Treas
ury. Recently the Pacific Railroad has
found it necessary TO reconstruct con.
siderable portions OF its lines. The
reason therefor is fully explained in a
recent letter from Colonel F. 4. Con.
king, brother of the ex-senator, who
is an avowed and courageous Anti Mon.
opolist and has been after the thievirg
corporations which exert such potent
influence in Congress and at tae White
House, for several years, with very
sharp stick. From the letter we leaIn
that instead of building the roud, as
required by the original act, "hy the
nearest and most practical route, " the
Pacific Railroad and Credit Mobilier
conspirators built ii down the valley of
the Missouri River, and by this mea ns
they obtained from Government n sub
sidy of $4,000 q mile, or an aggregate
sum of $l,600,000, aud grant of land
at the rate of 1880 acres mile, or an
aggregate of l,2S0,000 acres, getting rich
alluvial lands instead of lands in the
interior, distant from the river and
comparatively worthless. Colonel Con.
king says.
For distance of sixty.eight miles
after leaving Sioux City every mile took
them farther from the Pacific coast than
they were at the end of the preceding
mile, so that at the end of the sixty
eight miles they were twenty miles
farther from the Pacific Ocean than they
were at the point whence they started.
and after traversing the entire distance
of one hundred miles from Sioux City
and joining the Pacific road they were
but six miles nearer the Pacific than at
the point of departure.
This outdoes anything of the kind
we have ever seen noted. 1t is the very
ne Plus ultra of the science of swindling
"a science that could never have ap.
preached half so near perfection under
any other auspices than those of the
Grant regime, of which Cameronism and
all the moral ugliness and political
turpitude that belong TO it are the ma.
tural and necessary outgrowth.- -Leader.
SOME one has said that Hubbell
proposes before the campaign closes to
assess pensioners.

The Democratic Platform.

The Democratic party of Pennsylvania, holding fast
to the faith that all power delegated by the Con-
suton is reserved to the States and the people; up
holding the sanctity of personal liberty the security
of private property and the right of local segoyern

all the provisions of the Constitution by the Legsla-

against evils which the policy Of the Republican par

snubbed the fellow that presided over

THE IMPORTANT MATTERS TO DE ATTENDED

THE IMPORTANT MATTERS TO DE ATTENDED
TO AT ONCE.
The assessors have received copies
of the registry, and the books are or
ought to be hung up, as provided by
law, against the doors AMI windows of
the voting places in tie different divi-
sions. Now that the book is exposed
for public inspection, every voter will
have the opportunity to see that his
own name and those of his friends are
on the lists or are properly entered, so
that any person whose name is not
found in the books when he wants to
pay his tax, or at the election in
November, can have no one but him
self to blame for the pain Of losing, or
the trouble Of proving, his right to
vote. If any of the books should
happen to disappear, citizens can
readily ascertain the address of the
assessor, in case any corrections or adj
ditions are necessary.
County committeeman, sub-commit-
teemen and every Democrat who de-
sires to aid the efficient organization
of the party will do well to observe
these points and ACT PROMPTLY:
1st. Always remember that success
depends upon getting out every Demo-
cratic vote, AND THAT YOUR
WORK LIES IN YOUR DIS
TRICT.
I'd. Your first duty is to MAKE A
COMPLETE CANVASS OF YOUR
DISTRICT, and have on your book
the name Of every voter, marked as to
politics.
Sd. Then on your small books the
name of every Democrat in each sub
district, so that each subcommittee
man will know whom to look after,
and will get every Democrat regis
tered.
4th. See that every man is register
ed, not later than the 1st day of Sep
tember. Especially look after young
men who voted on age last fall, as they
must now he assessed and pay taxes.
9th. Carefully hunt up all your
Democrats who vote on age for the
first time this year aud place them on
your list.
9th. Make careful canvass Of
parties to be naturalized, and have
them brought in during August or
September. while Court is in session.
BE sure to have such registered in
time.

There are other items, mixed with

these items thus:

last year, it certainly does not need a

jects.
