Hoj t on Finance.
Professing to be an honest man, the
candidate of an honest organization I
favor honest money.
The volume of the currency should
be regulated by legitimate demand,
and not by the requirements of bank
rupts and wild speculators.
The currency should be redeemable
as early as the exigencies of the Gov
ernment will permit, in the currency
recognized by all civilized nations.
The contracts of the Government
should be held as sacred as the con
tracts of individuals, and the bonds,
theevidnce of its indebtedness, should
be paid according to the understand
ing between the Government and the
lender. Speech at Butler, Sept. 2,
1878.
GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY
Returns from the election in Colo
rado show that the Republicans have
a majority in the State over the Demo
crats and Greenbackers together. The
State Is claimed by 2,500 majority.
Legislature two-thirds Repnblican.
" Bloated Bondholders." The
savings banks of Connecticut alone
have $15,000,000 in bonds of the Gov
ernment, either general, State, or mu
nicipal, and there are 20575 deposi
tors having accounts in these banks.
The banks are nothing but the com
bined money of the depositors, and the
depositors numercially equal nearly
half the population of Connecticut In
at least a third of the families there is
not less than one bank-book. Sweep
away the "thieves" that fellows like
Kearney talk about, nnd you cut a
pretty broad swath. The Hartford
life insurance companies have more
than $1-3,000,000 in Government and
munclpal bonds, and are insuring the
lives of 208,000 people. Each of these,
too, is a bondholder, and it becomes
necessary to "sweep away" all savings-bank
depositors nnd every man
who cares enough for his family to in
sure his life. llartfort Courant.
Ex-Governor C'urtin proposes
to conduct his share of the campaign
on the point that the State Adminis
tration is corrupt. He dilates with all
his peculiar forensic fioridity on this
allegation, meekly impressing those
who listen to him, that the evil of mal
administration is the cause of all the
suffering of the people. Would it not
be well for the gay and festive Andy
to adjust his own affairs with history?
If he has such abhorrence formal-administration
let him confess his own
sins and repent, and not stand on the
portals of the political temple striking
himself on the breast nnd thanking
God he is not like other men. And in
the meantime let him explain the fol
lowing pertinent epistle:
Adjutant General's Office,
Hakuisbukg, May 24, 1861.
To Andrew O. Ourtin,
Governor of Pennsylvania
For reasons which appeal to my self
respect, I cannot consent to continue
any longer in connection with your
administration.
I therefore tender you my resigna
tion of the office of Attorney General
of the State.
Samuel A. Turviance.
And while he is engaged in explain
ing this will he be good enough to tell
the people how much he received for
placing his signature to Peter Herdic's
boom bill ?
Also, whnt was his "divle" in the
repeal of the tonnage tax?
And what wus his receipts from the
profits in the tailor shop In the Girard
House at the beginning of the war?
Let us have a clearing up discussion,
as apostles of reform like Dill and
Curtin are now braying so loudly
about corruption. Answer, gentlemen,
answer! Harrittburg Telegraph.
The house of Mrs. Abby Davol,
in Portsmouth, R. I., was discovered
on Are. When neighbors reached the
scene nothing could be saved. The
body of Mrs Davol could be seen on a
bed, burned to a crisp. By the side of
the stove was a kerosene can, which
j, robably explains the disaster.
The Democratic party in 1860 Is
sued $4,810,000 in Trensury notes, at a
discount equivalent to 12 per cent, in
terest. In 1801 the Buchanan admin
istration was again hard up. Bondw
amounting to $18,415,000 were sold at
a discount of $2,019,778 10; or, in other
words, the Government received only
$89.10 for 5 per cent, bonds, the par
value of each of which was J100. Uncle
Sam was never before nor since com
pelled to submit to so severe a shave
for the tiHe of a small omount of pocket
money. The Democratic party turned
over the Government to their succes
sors with a debt of over f 00,000,000 a
portion of it drawing over $3,000,000 in
interest per annum.
Soon after the Republican party
came into power Secretary Chase paid
these claims and stopped the interest.
The public credit began almost im
mediately to strengthen, even against
the inauguration of the pro-slavery re
bellion. Government bonds were at
par, and went up rapidly after the
suppression of the war. In August,
1876, the Secretary of the Treasury
was receiving $105.03 In gold for$f00
in 5 percent, bonds and about the same
rate of premium for other denomina
tions. About the same time (August
24, 1875) a contract was entered into
for placing 4J per cent, bonds at par
in exchange for bonds bearing 6 per
cent, interest. And now 4 'per cent,
bonds are in demand at home nnd
abroad. It will thus be seen that,
while the credit of the Government
was at its lowest point in 1800-'61, it
has now reached the highest and
strongest condition ever attained.
A Catechism. What is n Govern
ment bond?
Ans. A printed obligation of the
Government to pay a certain number
of dollars with interest.
Q. What is a geeenbaek ?
A. A government note promising to
pay the bearer one or more dollars,
without Interest.
Q. What is a dollar?
A. An United States Government
coin, worth 100 cents.
Q. If a man takes up his own note
and gives a note of his own making
the old note, is the debt thereby paid 1
A. It is not; the obligation Is re
newed, but not paid.
Q. If the Government takes up one
form of its obligation and gives an
other for it, is the debt thereby paid ?
A. It is not ; the obligation to pay is
renewed in another form.
Q. Can the Government pay its
bonds in greenbacks?
A. It cannot, any more than a man
can pay his own note by giving a new
note for the old one.
James Mullen, a wealthy farmer
and bachelor, residing near Gower,
Mo., was found lying near his barn,
dead. The body was frightfully man
gled, nearly all the flesh having been
eaten off the bones by hogs. The sup
position is that he fell from the barn-
loft, breaking his neck. His horses
and cnttje were tied in the barn, nnd
nearly starved when discovered.

at the office of Geo. A. Rathbun.
An organization was effected by the

Mr. Warner, of Cameron, nominated
Geo. A. Rathbun, of Elk county.
Mr. Rupert, of Clarion, nominated
D. W. Leitzell, of Clarion.
Mr. Scovill, of Forest, nominated
T. W. Taylor, of Clarion.
On motion, the Conference then ad
journed to meet at Rhines' Hall at 7
o'clock.
At the hour of adjournment the Con
ference met at Rhines' Hull.
Minutes of first meeting were read
and approved, and roll called, all being
present.
A motion to hold the Conference
witli closed doors was withdrawn.
On motion, Messrs. Thomas aud
Warner were appointed tellers.
The name of D. W. Leitzell wa

After a long and warm debate as to
the merits of the several candidates,
word was received from Mr. Rathbun
that he desired to withdraw from the

On motion, the nomination of T. W.
Taylor was made unanimous.
Messrs. Service, Warner and Scovill
were appointed a committee to wait on
the nominee, inform him of his nom
ination, and request his appearance
before the Conference.
Mr Taylor appeared, nnd, in quite a
lengthy speech, returned his thanks
for the honor conferred upon him, and
also recited one or two political poems.
The unanimous thanks of the Con
ference were then extended to Mr.
Earl for the able and impartial man
ner in which be had discharged the
duties of his position.
At about eleven o'clock the Confer
ence adjourned tine die.
Several months ago an indictment
was found against J. J. Watson of
Chicago, for unlawfully Belling rail
road tickets. Judges McAllister and
Moore held that the law under which
ho was Indicted is good, nnd that the
Slate can protect the people against
speculators in rnilroad tickets. The
decision complies with the decision
rendered by Judge Farwell Borne time
ago, and the various railroad compan
ies have directed Mr. Trade, who pro
secuted the cases, to "pull" all the
scalpers' offices, and arrest the offend
ing parties just the same as gambling
houses are pulled by the police. The
complaints against these offices by
travelers come in without number, and
a insistent warefare Is now to be
waged until the proprietors have been
compelled to abandon their business.
James Russel, colored, charged
with an nttemptto commit a rapeupon
Mrs. Jackson, was taken from ' the Jail
at Murfreesboro'Tenn.,and hanged by
a mob one mile from the town. There
was some doubts of his guilt.

Our attention was recently attraoted by
an advertisement in another paper to the

extremely low price induced us to send for

We find the scale the most convenient and
valuable household article we have! It is
worth live times its cost, in testing grocers
