THE REPUBLICAN COUNT V CONVEN
TION. The Convention of Republican delegates
Assembled at the Court House, in this place,
on Tuesday last, to nominate a candidate
for Congross in this district, member of As
sembly and other county officers, was one
of tho lurgest over Lcld in the county, and
in point of intelligence, character and stand
ing, reflected tho highest credit upon the
party. Tho delegates, themselves, had no
axes to grind, and were anxious on'.y to
nominate a ticket which at least deserved
success if they even should fail to obtain it,
and which a few years more of the progress
of intelligence will be certain to confer
upon tho party in this county.
T?ie most prominent feature of the Con
vention was the nomination of a candidate
for Crmgress, in thU district. It was pretty
well understood, throughout the county,
fiatj. II. Tacker, Esq., of this place,, was
the almost unanimous choice of the party-
Rut Mr. Tackcr. who had no taste for the
contests and struggles for office, was con
strained to announce, a week previous to the
delegate election, that he would not offer
himself as a candidate. Tho delegates in
Convention, however, came to the conclu
sion that he was the proper man for the
position, and without a single dissenting
voice, nominated him by acclamation as our
candidate for Congress iu this district. On
appearing before tho Convention, Mr. Packer
tendered his thanks for the honor conferred
upon him, and said he felt that he could not
decline a nomination so unanimously con
ferreJ.
There can be no question that Mr. Packer
is the choice not only of this county, but of
a large majority in this district. That Nor
thumberland couuty is fairly entitled to the
candidate, hardly admits of an argument,
and when we present a candidate, so unex
ceptionable in every respect as Mr. Packer, it
seems almost incredible that any serious
opposition could bo made. Our opponents
admit that if Mr. Packer is nominated, tltoro
is scarcely a ray of hope left for their candi
date. Mr. Fiuke, our candidate for Assembly,
did not seek for the nomination, and only
accepted it as a matter of duty. Ho is so
wellan 1 favorably known in this county, es
pecially in the Eastern end, that it is hardly
necessary to say that all who know him con
cede that no better selection could have
been made. Mr. Fisko has long been tho
efficient Superintendent of the Shamokin
Valley Railroad. He is not a holiday man,
but a skillful and educated mechanic, whose
activity and intelligence fits him for almost
any position.
Mr. Sober, the candidate for District At
torney, is a native of Shamokin township.
He comes well recommended, and his quali
rkations will hardly be disputed by his
opponents.
Our candidate for Commissioner, Jos. M.
Nesbit, of Chillisquaquc, is a gentleman of
character and intelligence, and one of the
best business men in the county, and just
such a man as is wanted.
Some of the Copperhead papers aro very
indignant that their friend Woolej has
been imprisoned for refusing to testify
where he got tho money used for tho bri
bery of Senators on tho impeachment of the
President. His guilt is uot questioned, but
us ho is a Democrat, to be imprisoned by
Butler 16 sogrcat an outrage that our
neighbor of the Independent advises Wooley
to shoot Butler, "let tho consequence be
what they may." The editor, no doubti
thinks if all the rogues in the ranks of the
Democracy wcro imprisoned the greatest
prop of the party would be gone.
TnE New Tax Bill. The separate tax
bill, relating only to distiilcd spirits, tobac
co, and the tax on banks, passed the House
on Friday last. It is provided that there shall
le a tax of fifty cents on every proof gallon
of distilled spirits, to bo paid before remo
val from the distillery warehouses. The com
pensation of internal revenuo storekeepers
is to be paid by the Govcrumcnt instead of
by the distillers, as heretofore. The sixty
sixth section imposes a tax of 32 cents a
pound on snuff, 82 cents on chewiDg tobac
co, 16 cents on smoking tobacco, and $2.50
a pound on all imported cigars.
The HEcoNHTiti:cTi:n States. General
Bchofitld having officially informed General
Grant of the passage of the Arkansas ad
illusion bill and the admission of Cougress-
n.cn from that State, General Graut has is
sued an onlor directing General McDowell
withdraw as far as possible the military
control over tho State, and when finally the
civil povernment is fully tstablished, with

Abuse of Okm. Grant. This is the only
argument the lower order of Copperhead
journals tocm to possess. Wa can respect
men who oprJroo Ocn. Grant on principle,
but have the utmost contempt for the scul
lions of tho press whose only argument! are
scurrility and abuse. No man. of intelli
gence or common sense, who has any regard
for decency, or the proprieties of life, can
afford to assail the character of a man who
has dune so much for his oountry, and
whose personal fault are so few that re
spectable journalists have none to urge
against him. Washington had his traducers,
audsohadGen. Jackson, and Gen. Grant
will havo his as long as fools and knaves
havo the freedom of speech. Thank fortune,
experience has proved, that to give to euch
men plenty of rope, is the surest punishment
for their knavery and stupidity, as they are
certain to bang themselves in tho end. If
thoso Copjwrhcad journals, not omitting
our own, who have any qualms of conscience
or gleams of intellect left, nnd who, not
many months since, were courting Gen.
Grant, with a view of making him their
candidate, could be induced to reflect on
the absurdity of their position, to say no
thing of the meanness of their conduct, we
might hopo for their reform. But fate has
decreed that folly, fanaticism, stupidity and
malignity, must prevail in this world, and
that we must contend against these ills and
bear our afflictions as the leper bears up
against tho sores that afflict his body.

The Committee then icportcd a Consti
tution, which was adopted. We regret
that, for want of room, we are unable to
publish it this week.
Tho Committee on Resolutions reported
the following, which were unanimously
adopted :
Id Reached, That as a Convention, we
gratefully acknowledge the good Hand of
God in the post history of tho Temperance
it-tormation, ana exhort its lricnds to a con
stant dependence on the Divine Spirit to
guide and direct their efforts to abolish the
business and customs that produce intem
perance with all its train of evils. The Tem
perance movement is a christian movement
and we iuvoke tho increused aud continued
services of Christian Ministers and Chris
tian Professors. That human legislation
cannot make that right which God declares
to be whoso, and as He has pronounced a
woe against hi in that putteth the bottle to
his neighbor's lips aud maketh him drunken,
we are compelled to believe thut a people
who authorize the sale of intoxicatiug li
quors as A beverage, violate the Divine
Law and aro responsible for all the evils
which now trom the trulhc. That in pro
moting the cause of Temperance, while it is
proper to invoke the aid of the laws of the
land, tho principles of science and whatever
will in any way promote the temporal wel
faro of men, the ultimate rcliauce of the
friends of Temperance must be on the reli
gious principle and the co-operation of the
religious community. That the violation
of the Sabbath more or less openly by those
engaged in the sate ot liquor, white the sa
creducss of the day is observed by all other
classes of citizens, is a proof of tho demorali
zing tendency of the liquor trade and its dis
regard of restraint, human and Divine, and
that tho advocates of "Free Liquor," will,
when they can, take away tho quietness and
sacred observance ot the habuatu ot our
fathers Sunday Laws and Liquor Laws be
ing equally the object of their detestation.
'2nd Reohcd, That tho recent reports of
the United States Internal Revenue Depart
ment, and other official statistics, prove the
liquor traffic of the country to be a most gi
gantic fraud on the Government, and a sys
tem of cruel oppression and ruin to the peo
ple la proof of which we submit the fol
lowing facts drawn from official documents :
The capital invested :s at least -'00,000,-000.
1 he illegal sale of liquor are greater
than those which pay duty, the Government
having been defrauded out of f 74,000,000
in 1866 and 1867. The detail sales pav
ing in the year 1867 were $1,483,000,000
and the illegal sale on equal amount show
ing the firs', cost of liquor to consumers to
be more more than Ibe Emire National
Debt I '1 be licensed sale for the year weie
more thsu double the amount il all the
States west of the Rocky Mountains during
the last twenty ; iar, th'v were more than
twenty times the valuo of the whole church
property of the country ; they were more
than one hundred and thirty titw-s as much
at wat spent ia the United States for educa
tional purposes! they were ninety three
limes at much as was raised for religious ob
jects. . There are 130,000 licensed liquor
houses in the country, making a solid block
of buildings 49 miles long, and rnsking a
larger city, If put together, than Philadel
phia is to day. There are more liquor houses
than churches and school houses combined.
w have onlv 140.000 ministers combined,
and 009,000 persons engaged la making
and selling liquor. - Distilleries have increas
ed in the last seven years trom 1,103 to
over 8,000. The use of malt liquor is in
creasing at the rate of 20,000,000 of gallons
annually, while drunkenness is increasing in
proportion, showing that their uso docs not
prevent intemperance. And especially do
we call attention to the reason why all (his
capital and labor is employed, viz i
Sd Resolted, That as women aro tho great
est sufferers, as a class from the evils of In
temperance, and whereas, recent statistics
show that many of the sex aro addicted to
the vice, thereforo we urge all mothers,
daughters, sisters and wives to be thorough
ly and earnestly active in this cause ; and
wo rejoice that Temperance orgaizatiotTs
and so thoroughly convinced of their effi
ciency as to admit thcui to membership and
co-operation.
4th Resolted, That we believe that moderate
drinking leads to all the drunkenness in the
land ; that the moderate drinker docs more
injury than the drunkard, because ho is
trusted by the community ; his cxamplo is
followed ; his custom supports and contin
ues tho liquor traffic and he gives respecta
bility to tho whole business.
uth Resolved, That we believe the spirit of
thoso engaged in the liquor trado to be ruost
bitter and prospective, as is shown by tho
action ot the Brewer's Convention which
met in Chicago, June 18G7, said action
being that "they will sustain no candidate
of any party, in any election, who is any
way disposed toward the total obstinencc
causo ; that they will sustain all political
papers advocating tiieir principle of liber
ty. In a business point of view, they will
patronize only such business men as will
woik hand in baud with them, and will
publish from time to time the names of the
officers of the various Temperance Socie
ties." 0th Rcsohed,That wc highly approve of tho
adoption of a Financial Plan by the Penn
sylvania State Temperance Union, in the ap
pointment of Luther S. Kauffman, Esq.,
of Minersville, as Geueral Financial Agent,
and that we do earnestly urge the friends
of the causo to contribute liberally to the
funds of tho Union.
7th Rcsolccd, That we most affectionately
and earnestly request all Temperance organi
zations in Christian Churches and Sunday
Schools to eo operate with the State Tem
perance Unhn ; especially as the Union has
placed Churches and Sunday Shoots on the
same terms as pledged Temperance Socie
ties. 8th Resolved, That tho moral aud material
interests of this community and county will
be greatly subserved by the hearty co-oper
ation aud sympathy oi all our citizens in
Iiromoting the objects to bo accomplished
y this County Temperance Union ; and
that wc therefore most cordially and earnest
ly ask the help ot an good men and women
in tho suppression of tho tcrriblo vice of
drinking intoxicating liquors among us, and
our appeal is made all the more soutidently
because our organization is composed of
persons from all christian denominations
and all political parties.
Of A Jiesohed, That the duties of those
gentleman who have been named as mana
gers of this organization demand close, and
careful personal attention and unwearying
vigilance and zeal ; that upon them in a
large measure depends the success of the
cause of Temperance in this county ; that
to their efforts our officers and members look
for that charactar, power tod influence
which arc so essentially necessary to tho
attainment of our objects ; and that wo
most earnestly and solemnly enjoin upon
them, individually the necessity of a para
mount interest in the cause, an aggrcssivo
action ogniust its oppnscrs and a thorough
ly faithful discharge of all their responsibil
ities. 10th Resolved, That Rev. Pennell Coombc,
Sec'y of the Peuna. State Temperance Union,
by his public efforts, as well as, his private
labors in our midst, has fully sustained the
favorable reputation which ho bears as an
active, energetic, and competent advocate
of the Temperance Reform, and that we
heartily commend him to the confidence
and assistance of all true temperance men
and women everywhere.
On motion, Convention adjourned tine

Washington, Juno 29. Tho Ways and
Means Committee had up the tarilf bill this
morning, and after some discussion it went
over until to-morrow. Its prospects of pas
sage, faint at the start, are growing dimmer
daily.
llio Kivor and Harbor bill is now eo
worded down as to have enough sections of
the country interested as to secure its pas
sage. The yeas will be demanded on every
section, which will consumo all to-morrow,
but will not defeat it. The previous ques
tion having been sustained to-day, it now
has the precedence over everything until its
final disposal.
The President having allowed ten dnya
to expire wuuout action on the bill to over
ride tho recent election troubles, it is now
a law, and the llepublicans secure tho
Mayoralty, both branches of Councils, and
an city oinces.
General Grant starts at seven a. m. to
morrow with his family, for Cincinnati, to
visit his father.
Judge Kellcy is quite ill again at his resi
dence hero.
The President's family will start for Ten
nessee to-morrow afternoon.
Nearly every Southern delegate to tho
Democratic Convention, passing through
here, stops to call on Mr. Johnson and assure
him they are for his nomination, but no one
here credits them with any sincerity.

Washington, July 1. Tho Senate met
to-day and discussed Mr. Edmunds' bill,
excluding the votes of reconstructed States
from the electoral college, but it went over
at the close of tho morning hour, and the
consideration of the civil appropriation bill
was continued.
The tariff bill was repotted back to the
House to-day with a number of amendments,
the most important being the duty of 8
cents upon copper. Most of the committee
are of the opinion that the bill can hardly
be acted upon this session, though Mr.
Moorhead, who reported the bill, thinks dif
ferently. , , .,,
If an opportunity offers tho bill taxing
tho luterests on Government bonds ten per
cent, will be reported to day.
Most of tho morning in the House was
taken up with private land bills.
The Alaska appropriation came up in tho
House, and was opposed by Mr. Washburue,
of Wisconsin, in a long speech.
The Committee of Ways and Means have
agreed to report a small tariff bill, probably
to-day. It covers tho small manufacturers
of iron, the value of which depends on the
labor employed upon them.
A great many Southern delegates to the
New York Convention aro here. They ex
press themselves in favor of allowing South
ern delegates to name the candidate. A
few bef ido tho Tennessee delegation have
declared for Johnson.
Quite a number talk cautiously in favor
of reputation, which leads to the belief that
Pendleton will get their votes, if they think
he can be elected. No Chase delegates have
been heard of.

SURRENDER OF THE TYCOON TO
TUE MIKADO.
Several IlnttICH-3,1200

Killed nud
of the t'np-
YoKonAMA, June S, via San Francisco,
June 20. The late Tycoon has accepted tho
conditions of tho Mikado, and is to cede
nearly half of his private territory, disband
his army, surrender his navy, and himself
retire to Mito, for which place he left on May
12, on foot, as a token of humility. The
Tycoon gave orders to his Admiral to sur
render the fleet, but that oflicer left Yeddo
with all the vessels, and it is uncertain
whether hc.has gone. Ho is probably some
where on the northern coaBt, ready to co
operate with the Stotsbashi's friends.
The trouble is by no means at an end. A
strong coalition has been formed iu the in
terest of the Tycoon, and all the most pow
crful northern Daimios have joined it. At
Ardscn they attacked a body of the Mika-1
do's troops, on the 10th of May, twelve
miles from Yeddo, routed them and took
possession of the castle recently surrendered
by tho Tycoon. On the 17th ho attacked
another army, killed eight hundred and
captured three hundred men, all of whom
he beheaded. A large army occupies a
strong position near Yeddo, and another is
threatening that cvty, thereby cutting off
the Mikado's troops.
On the 22d another engagement took
place, six miles from Yeddo, also ending
disastrously to the Mikado's fortunes. Four
teen hundred were killed and eight hun
dred captured. A Duimio of tho Mikado's
household has been made Governor of Yo
kohama, in place of the old one, who was a
retainer of the Tycoon. The Europe and
American guards arouud the settlement
have been removed. The British Minister
has already presented his credentials to the
government of the Mikado.
I be High l'ricst ot iwato lias issued a
bull, warning the Mikado thnt he is inter
fering too much in temporal affairs, nnd
calling upon him to desist, on pain of being
called upon by the priesthood to abdicate.
One hundred and seventy thoiiEond copies
of the proclamation have been sold and dis
tributed among the Japanese.
The ram stonewall has not yet been sur
rendered, but her crew have all been puid
off. Most of them will rcturu home in the
China.
The uncle of the Mikado was assassinated
at Yedi.o on June 2.

Bowi.ino Gnr.KN,, Kv., June 27. Nathau
Dawson, a returned Union soldier, was mur
dered near herr on Saturday, by the Ku
Klux Klan. He was living quietly nt his
home, unconcious of danger, the assassins
went to his house, called him to tho door,
and fired a volly at him, killing him instant
ly, and dangerously, if not mortally, wound
ing his wife, who ran to his assistance.
These assassins are the terror of this entire
country. Tho life of no one who is suspect
ed of Unionism is safe. Not a day pusses
but sorao deed of horror is perpetrated by
them.
One of the arguments used against Grant's
election to the Presidency, is, that he smokes.
It cannot be denied that Grant arrested the
eye of the nation by his proclivity to smoke,
lie smoked at Belmont, at Donaldson, aud
at Pittsburgh Landing, fie smoked furious
ly at Chattanooga, at the Wilderness, and
at Spottsylvania, and kept it up all summer
until he reached Petersburg. He smoked
around Petersburg and Richmond for nine
months, and took a final smoke with Gen.
Lee tinder the famous Appomattox apple
tree. The old adago assures us that a good
deal of smoke roust necessarily be accom
panied by some fire; and it must be admit
ted that on all these occasions Grant did
much of his smoking under firo.
It is reported that the Democracy have
carried the state of Mississippi by the holp

ocratic clubs, and the white citizeus of the
