Republican State Convention HEAD{ UARTERS REPUBLICAN STATE ComMITTEE, HARRISBURG, February 1,1876. _ . n pursuance of a resolution- of the Repub lican State Committee, adopted at a meeting held in Harrisburg this day, a Republican State Convention, to be composed of delegates from each Senatorial and Representative dis trict, to the number to which such district is entitled in the Legislature, is hereby called to meet in the city of Harrisburg, at twelve o'clock, noon, on Wednesday, March 29, 1876, for the purpose of nominating an Electoral ticket and of electing Senatorial and Repre sentative delegates to represent the State in the Republican National Convention, to be held at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 14th day of June, 1876. By Order of the Committe, HENRY M. HOYT, Chairman. A. WILSON NORRIS, Secretary. AN UNPLEASANT THEME. Ten per cent. off for Advance Payment. We do wish it never became necessary o do an unpleaaant . thing, but we cannot see how to avoid it as long as every third man in Huntingdon county owes us and fails to pay up. Suppose it is "only a dol lar or two" each, it aggregates thousands of dollars to us. We owe a few hundred dollars for the thousands due us, and every now and then we have to stand a very un- pleasant dun because our patrons refuse to pay up. We frequently have to quit our labor oc the paper and go hawl:ing about .ae streets t .ying to raise moncy enough to keep our business moving, and the pa per just suffers to this extent. Every hour that we lose in this way cuts our original matter short. Since August last there has scarcely been, en an average, ten dol. tars a week paid into the office on sub scriptions. We have had to resort to al- most every device to meet current expen- ses. This sort of thing no business men can stand, and our patrons ought not to ask us to forbear longer. We will now make the following propo sition, viz : To all persona who will pay us one or two years in advance, on or be fore the Ist day of March next, we will MAKE A REDUCTION OF TEN PERCENTUM, thus giving them the JOURNAL for the Centennial year for $l.BO. To those who have already paid us in advance we will make the same reduction in the next pay ment. And those who are in arrears, and will pay ns, on or before the Ist of March next, we will make a reduction of five per cent. Now, friends, strain a point to help us Yours. Respectfully,• tf. J. R. DURBORROW & Co THE PRINTING BILL. The Globe makes a second feeble assault upon the Printing Bill this week, and for outrageous lying—lying that must be ap parent to the merest novice who has ever advertised an estray notice—exceeds any thing that bas appeared in that paper for years. The rates that we now charge arc those we have charged for four years, as can be seen by reference to our files, and the people know whether they have been too high. They know whether we have charged $l2 for an estray notice or 825 for an orphans' court sale. We are pleased that the Globe has so effectually answered its own ob j 'ections. What everybody knows to be untrue needs no refutation. The law has authorized the publication of all legal advertisements, controlled by the county, in three papers for the last five years, and yet we have made a reduction to the coun• ty every year, and we stand ready to do this now, and if this bill is passed we here by agree to reduce our rates from twenty to thirty-three per cent. This opposition to the bill comes from that quarter simply because the Globe wants the people to be taxed to maintain it. The tax-payers have been compelled to pay to keep it up ever since it has pass ed into the hands of the present owner.— Yes, they have been taxed, from year to year, t' support the most disreputable pa per and editor on the Continent, a paper that, politically and otherwise, has made Huntingdon county a hissing and Lye word throughout the length and breadth of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It would have been a thousand times better, three years ago, if every voter in the coun ty would have contributed a dollar to buy it and it had been -taken down and cast into the placid waters of the "blue Junia. ta." The frightful demoralization of the county would not be the subject of so much solicitude now, and when our people go abroad they would not be ashamed to say that they are from Huntingdon county, nor would they be accredited with having at the head of the Globe the most notori ous moral, religious and political fraud of the nineteenth century ! Never has a community been so outrageously burdened as this community has until our people are twitted on every hand in regard to it. Politicians and every other class of men have suffered from this terrible nuisance Said a gentleman, in the Eastern part of the State, to one of our citizens a few days ago: "Well, you have that man Guss yet, why don't you take him out and shoot him ?" The answer was: "He is not worth the powder, and Huntingdon has suffered enough !" Yea, verily. And here he is insisting upon the tax-payers supporting him for years to come. Next week we will give some attention to a bill which the editor of the Globe has before the Legislature and let the legis lators know what he asks them to pay a premium roil. A Pottsville man, driver of an express company's wagon, was waylaid by high waymen on Saturday night, who took all they could find in his wagon, but over looked the cash package, which be carried on his person. Italy will send four hundred tons of goods to the Centennial. TO THE SURVIVORS OF REBEL PRISON PENS. EDITOR Jefferson Davis, in a letter dated New Orleans, Louisana, January 29, 1576, and addressed to the Honorable James Lyons, Petersburg, Virginia, makes a defiant de nial of the arraignment made by the Hon orable James G. Blaine, of Maihe, and by General James A. Garlield,of Ohio, of his direct and personal responsibility for the cruel treatment of Union soldiers who were prisoners of war to the Confederacy of which Mr. Davis was President. He goes further, and, like Mr. Benjamin F. Hill, Representative in the Forty-fourth Con gress, from Georgia, who was also a mem ber of the Confederate States Senate, from the same State, the rebel ex-President de Dies altogether that unnecessary suffering ensued among, or unjustifiable harshness or cruelty was practiced against, those of our soldiers who were so unfortunate as to be prisoners within the pens at Anderson ville, Florence, Salisbury, Belle Isle, and Tyler, or in the tobacco warehouses of Libby and Castle Thunder. The denial is a bold and sweeping one. Its audacity rises to sublimity; It not only denies but accuses. The Union is assailed as having, through its officials and policy, treated the Confederate prisoners in its hands as bad or worse than our men were used at An dersonville, Belle Isle, and elsewhere. It is also charged with causing the sufferings of the latter by the policy it pursued of refusing to exchange. Now, as to one part of Mr. Jefferson Davis' denial and counter accusation, there is a direct and unassailable method of ob taining evidence. The survivors of the rebel prison pens still remain among us. Those of Andersonville formed an associa tion which is will in existeace. We call upon every man who was captured and confined by the Confederates during the civil war for slavery and disunion to at once give to the public a brief and direct account of his personal experiences. Let each man write to the nearest Republican paper a simple statement of his name, re giment, rank, date of capture, length of confinement, when exchanged, the treat ment he himself received as to food, shel ter, medical care, &c., as well as to the action of those in charge. Avoid all rhet oric, denounce no one, give as far as prac ticable the names of Confederate officers, &c., in command; also, any special instan ces as to others known to the survivors, the details of which are readily substan tiable. With regard to the treatment of rebel prisoners in the. northern entrepots, there is as direct a method of obtaining reliable testimony. Officers who were in command of such prisons are still living, as are also soldiers who were stationed thereat. Their evidence will be of value. In every place where such prisoners existed local sanitary and Christian associations existed, the members of which busied themselves in caring for the sick and wounded, and in visiting the prisons and camps. Reputable citizens at Elmira, Rock Island, Chicago, Columbus, and elsewhere know the facts. Let them give their testimony. The hon or of one's country should be sacred. We who fought for liberty and union surely have as vital an interest in that honor as the men who compelled us to fight by their mad attempt to perpetuate slavery and de stroy the Union. Let us have the facts. Bear in mind that the object of such communications is not partisan but histor ical. Two civilizations or systems of gov ernment have been and are still on trial. Tnis question of Andersrinville and its at tendant horrors belong to the trial. The case has been re-opened, and the verdict once solemnly rendered is now challenged, A cloud of witnesses are still livihg. Let them give the facts. Communications can also be sent to the office of 'the Republic, Washington, D. C , if writers do not de sire to send to their county or other jour• nals. Let every man respond, and at once. The good name of the Union, is sought to be assailed, and a feculent treason seeks historical vindication by these audacious falsehoods. HON. REVERDY JOHNSON. The sudden death of the distinguished jurist and statesman, Hon. Reverdy John son, was aunouneed on Friday morning last. Mr. Johnson was born at Annapolis on May 21, 1796. He inherited the legal acumen and judicial cast of mind fur which he was sl eminent, being the son of Hon. John Johnson, Chief Judge of the First Judicial district of Maryland, and after wards Chancellor of that State. After graduating at. St. John's College, Annapo• lis, he studied law with his father, and was admitted to the bar on the completion of his twenty-first year. He acquired a large practice, and during the next eleven years reported the decisions of the Mary land Court of Appeals, the seven volumes of "Harris and Johnson's Reports" having been chiefly prepared by him. In 1817 he removed to Baltimore. and was soon after appointed Deputy Att,..riley General of the State. Iu 1820 he was appointed Chief Commissioner of' Insolvent Debtors. From 1821 to 1825 he served as State Senator, remiguing the latter year to de vote himself to his profession.. Less than twenty years afterwards he was the ac knowledged leader of the Maryland bar. He was elected United States Senator in 1845, and in 1849 was appointed by Pres ident Taylor Attorney General of the United States. On President Taylor's death, in 1850, he retired from the Cabinet and resumed the practice of the law, ge 74 s a member of the Peace Congress in 1861, and in 1862 was re-elected to the Senate of the United States. After the war he was appointed by the Government as um pire in questions which had arisen with foreign Governments during the occupa tion of New Orleans. In 1868 be was pointed Minister to England to succeed lion. Charles Francis Adams, and nego tiated a treaty for the settlement of the Alabama claims, but it did not meet the views of the United States Senate and was almost unanimously rejected, although some of the points it contained were adopted in the anal settlement. He was recalled from England in 1809, again resumed the prac tice of the law, and was engaged in sever al important cases before the Snprpme. Court of the United States. Mr. Johnson would have been eminent as a jurist and a statesman in any age or country. The strength and solidity of his judgment were fl,rtified by the depth and accuracy of hi s legal knowleiige, and the largeness of his experience. He was the last of that race of great constitutional lawyers and states men of whom Webster was the chief. THE Globe asserts positively that we, to use an expressive vulgarism, went buck on those who befriended us. This is simply impossible. We know no such thing as ingratitude. It is not in our composition, but the harmless and inoffensive worm will recoil when it is trodden upon. The dove will contend for its nest against the robber who would appropriate it, and we will al low no one, and especially those who have been paid a thousand times over for their friendship, to trample upon us. Our Harrisburg Letter, HARRISBURG, Feb. 11, 1876 SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Petitions are still coming in asking . for the pas sage of a stay law, and restricting the rates of in terest by increasing penalties of usury. Among the bills finally considered by this body, this week, are the followiag • Allowing higher rates of fare on railroads not over fifteen miles in length. This bill was passed to encourage the building of lateral roads. An act providing that in cases of contested elections, when the court de cides the complaint was not without probable cause, the costs shall be paid by the districts contested. Enabling hssignees to make sales of real estate for benefit of creditors. Authorizing and empow ering county commissioners to buy bridges and abolish tolls thereon. Abolishing attorney fees on judgments under $lOO entered on warrants of attorney. Punishing persons writing threatening letters. The bill giving salaries to county officers in counties containing over 150,000 inhabitants in accordance with Sec. 3, Article 54 of the Constitu tion. The vagrant act passed to-day. It has been given before, and the only important change made was in the clause allowing vagrants to be farmed out. This clause was stricken out. The bill al lows vagrants to appeal on furnishing security of $25. Among the important bills introduced were the following: An act exempting persons who reli giously observe the 7th day as a Sabbath from the penalties of the t;unclay laws. An act providing for the punishment of unlawfully taking the key or means used to open banks, vaults, etc.,and ma king it a felony, punishable by a fine of $lO,OOO and twenty years imprisonment. Fixing terms of assessors heretofore elected at three years. Al lowing committees of associations, organized for the recovery of stolen property and detection of thieves, to exercise the authority of a constable in discharge of their duties. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. There are many good men in the Ilouse,and be cause this body does not come up to the idea of legislative critics the good men in it are not to blame. This body has made up its mind to one thing, and that is, not to adjourn when the Senate wants to. Among the more important bills passed by this body were the following: Allowing camp meeting associations to employ a police force to preserve order. To provide for the appointment of a spe cial detective officer. The bill reducing salaries of members and officers of House and Senate was defeated, and all the bunoombe speeches made en the subject go out in the Legislative Recrd to show the noble disregard of self and State. The House will resolve, and has passed resolutions praying Congress to grant aid to the Texas and Pacific Railroad, and that Congress pass the repeal of the banking law; also that the claims of the sufferers from the rebel invasion be paid by the U. S. Among the bills introduced and under consider ation, aro the following : An act requiring den tists to be graduates of some chartered dental school; to provide for the removal of county seats; to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors on camp grounds; abolishing the office of bank assessor; to punish persons who enter cars without the inten tion of paying their fare. This last bill is one of a class giving corporations great powers. The general appropriation bill presents about the same figures as last year, except here and there an increase of some pet's salary, among which is that of messenger to the Governor,raised from $9OO to $1,400. We don't think the duties have become more onerous, and the wherefore may be called for before the extra $5OO is added to the salary. B. New Advertisement& CALIFORNIA.

This valuable food, composed of strictly vege table ingredients, has proved itself to be ono of the most beneficial articles of diet yet introduced. When fed to Bore. it gives perfect condition, greater spirit, and is highly recommended for broken and thick-winded horses.
