Tur Republican Stnte Convention, which
will Boon assemble to nominate cnmliu'atCB
for . Supremo Jmlgo and Stnte Trcnsvtrer,
nhoiild iiso every prccruiliort 'to give the
party n good Strttc ticket, compoRccl of men
who ft re pure whose records will bear tho
closest scrutiny, nnd whoso clmrnctcrti nre
nbovo reproach. At no time in our politi
cal experience do we remember to have
witnessed more unanimity on the pari of
the people, and the press, to urge tho selec
tion of unexrcptionablo men for offices.
There should be no hesitancy on the part
f delegates to ignore all factions nnd
cliques, and select men outside of such
combinations. Tast experience in all par
ties shows that the more combinations are
shirked, the better the principles of a party
nro preserved, and tho more popular the
party becomes. The worst thing a party
can do is to make indiscriminate nomina
tions. Tho clcclhm of such nominees effect
not oaly tlio ignorant, but impress the
itrlttTTigentas so much done towards the
diminution of lUcir party's strength. In
regard to otli nominees, the best judgment-should
boused, and men of ability
as well a men of sound moral qualities
should be selected. For Supreme Judge
wo do not believe in dragging the candi
date into the niit-o of politics. A jurist
should bo selected, who will bean honor to
the position he will occupy, while the
Treasurer should bo liko Ctcsnrs's wife,
"not only pure, but unsuspected." With
such candidates the Republican party can
not fail to be victorious, and the bright
luslrc or its principles will continue to
shed its brilliant radiance upon the coun
try. Give s good candidates, and there
need bo no fear of the defeat of the Repub
lican party.
CANDIDATES FOIl CoVSTY OFFICES.
The time is again approaching when can
didates will be selected by the Republican
party for county oflicers. We would there
tore suggest to every Republican tho im
portance of looking well to the political and
moral character of the men to bo placed
upon the ticket, and to bo supported by
tlio party t the coming election. In' this
county, especially is it importnutto elect
honorable men to office. We have had ex
perience sufficient to convince every voter
that by keeping in a combination or "ring"
of Democratic, political tricksters, who
fleeced tho tax-payers in this county for
years past, is impolitic as well as expen
sive. Since Republicans and honorable
men have the control of some of tho offices,
we Ond that matter were formerly con
ducted in a manner anything but credita
ble to any party. Wo have heretofore
dwelt upon and stated that the "Ring"
who formerly controlled the offices, Imd
abused their trust, and that it was high
lime a change was affected in our county
offices. This fact will soon be made mani
fest by an exposure of tho manner iu which
tax-payers were fleeced without regard to.
principles or justice. The men now in of
fice do not feel disposed tto follow the
course of their predecessors by covering
up their tracks. Rut every thing per
taining to their office is closely scruti
nized, and where wrongs existed they are
speedily corrected to the interests of the
tax-payers. This proves the fact that so
far at least, the Republican party have
been wise in their selections, and we hope
that they will itnain placo competent and
honorable men upon their ticket who will
bo supported by every honest man. and
who desire to restore onr county mntters to
the shape they were before rings vrc
formed, and by whom the county was sunk
deeper In debt every year.
Toe Democratic County Committee met
at this place on Monday last, and decided
on holding their County Convention on
Monday the Olh of July. next. As usual
considerable trickery will be resorted to
among tho leaders, to place upon the De
mocratic ticket men who will work to their
interests. We have already noticed seve
ral, who. having refused to worship at the
shrine of their leaders, are' being marked
fir siaushter. Tho f:it of two or three
has been marked out, and the plot forrr.rd
for their defeat, and just ns well might
they attempt to make water run up hill, or
stop a hurricane on a prairie, ns to try to
fret the nomination they Are seekim. Al
though these candidates may believe thorn-
M-lvcs in favor with the Chief Modoes of
the Democratic party, their situation, nnd
the penalty of their disobedience to the
mandates of the moguls, will be made man
ifest whrn too late to apply a remedy, and
when throneh deception tho healing balm
has been armteriivl from fhrm.
Referring' to tho proposition to in
sert ft clause in tho Constitution, prohib
iting the manufacture and sale of intoxi
cating liquors, the fJermantown Clironkle
enunciates this well digested principle of
law : "However desirable it may bo to
check tho sale of intoxicating liquors, no
one will pretend that such questions have
anything to do with tho form of govern
ment of i Statu or with the political rights
of tho citizens, which the Constitution is
intended to conserve. Resides, to incor
porate nnv refcreneo to this tuljoot in the
Constitution would bo to subject that in
strument to oonst.ant attacks, and our fun
damental hw bava not any too much
stability as il is. What is put in tho Con
stitution should ho put there to stay. If
our temperance friend will reflect on these
things, wo think they will agree that the
Convention did well in dismissing the
wholo sobject.
We notioo that M. James TufU, pro
prietor of the "Clement House," at this
placo. is announced ns a candidate for the
Legislature on the Democratic sido of tho
house. Jim is too good a man to stand
any show for a nomination In that party.
Not having the requisite Democratic school,
ing of this county, the leaders of the parry
already look upon his announcement as
prtpiaterout.
TriF. Secretary of the U. S. Treasury an
nounces his intention lo pay, on September
6, tho principal and nccrued iu teres t of
twenty millions of five-twenty bonds which
is ft gratifying exhibit of our financial con
dition, and highly creditnblo to his admin
istration of the Iepartment. Judgo Rich
ardson succeeded Mr. Boutwcll at a time
when the taxes were largely reduced, and
when tho appropriations made by tho last
Congress made ft heavy drain upon tho
national vaults ; yet, despite the deduc
tions, tho debt Una been steadily decreased,
and tho proposed extinguishment of the
large sum announced will make a sensible
ditiHjnition in tho annual interest account,
interest ceasing on any of the twenty mil
lions not presented for payment at the time
designated.
The public debt statement made on tho
second of this month showed a reduction
during May of 3,525,285, and since Mnrch
1st of this year of 57,410,827. If this
avcrago is maintained the reduction during
the year ending March 1, 1S74, will exceed
thirty millions ; and this presumption is
strengthened by the fact that tho rccoipls
from internal revenue nre in advance of tho
estimate by several millions. We noto this
healthy condition of onr finartccs with plea
sure, because it was feared in some quarters
that the numerous abolitions of taxes by
the last Congress would keep tho debt at a
stand for somo time. We seem to have
got the better of it, however, and with the.
present tax rale may count upon a steady
aud increasing extinguishment. These re
sults show economy nnd skill in tho man
agement of the Treasury, and will continue
to Secretary Richardson tho public confi
dence which was felt in his predecessor.
COLLIERY EXPI.OSIOX.
DISASTER AT SIIAMOKIN.
DEATH BY SUFFOCATION AND DROWNING.
Ten Men I. ok I Their Liven.
Siiamokiv, June 10. This afternoon an
explosion occurred in the Henry Clay Col
liery, operated by l'hiladclpliia and Read
ing Coal and Iron Company, near this
town. The colliery had not been inspect
ed for some time, but was always consid
ed safe. Sixty-five men are employed
there, and it has a capacity of mining 8000
tons per month.
THE EXr-LOSION.
Conrad Drumheiser, tho insido boss,
went into the old working or water level,
when tho explosion immediately followed,
it is thought, by the lire-damp being lired,
which communicated with the airways
from tho water level into the slope below,
where the. men worked. Tho men in this
section of the coal region, not being accus
tomed to black damp, thought it was blast
ing powder that had bi en set on fire, nnd
remained in the slope until overcome with
black-damp.
ENDEAVor.nia to escape.
Starting to eonv up they mot a body of
uftcr-dainp nud fell senseless, smothering.
The strongest mcu mauaged to get out,
giving an alarm. Tho others followed,
and, on reaching tho top of the slope, fell,
being overcome. John Hayes, outside
boss, hearing the alarm, immediately went
to thuir rescue.
After proceeding about 500 yards he fell,
face downward, in a pool of water and was
d rowed. Enoch Magenski was found
drowned by his sWe. Eight men were
brought out dead. There was no caving
in of the mine, ns at first reported, and no
fault of ventilation, but tho necident re
sulted from oldgas exploding in an unused
working.
TUE KILLED.
Up to 10 P. M. ten dead miners have
been taken out. Many of the men came
from surrounding mines to render assis
tance. THE EXCITEMENT
Was intense, wives nnd children rushing
to the scene of the disaster, nnd liudiug
husbands and brothers dead, or gasping
for breath, while others were eagerly watch
ing the arrival of friends oil the slopo wa
gon from below. There were fifty men in
the slope at the time of the explosion, aud
thirty-five are kuowu to have escaped, and
will tocover.
ACCIDENT TO A COAL OPERATOR.
William Brown, a prominent coal opera
tor of Sliamokin, full down tho Daniel
Webster shaft, to-dav, a distance of 103
feet breaking a leg otherwise injuring him.
It is thought ho will recover.
Tho Shamokin Herald of Thursday
morning last, gives tho followiug addition
al particulars :
Tho most dreadful mining casua'ty that
ever occurred in our couuty took place on
Tuesday at Henry Clay Colliery. The col
liery is located about a mile south of Sha
mokin, on the Phila. nnd Heading railroad.
Most of the coal is mined from a slope that
has been operated about two years.
Tho disaster is supposed to have origi
nated Iroin the inside boss going among
the old works, where the fire damp had
accumulated, with a nuked lamp, aud dis
charged it. Mr. Cuurud Drumheiser was
regarded as a very cautious man nud doubt
less would not have ventured their with
out a safety lamp, hud he anticipated any
such danger.
Mr. Fulton returned with tho night
traiu, and lie and Mr. Henimingrsy, the
Mining Inspector, spent the entire night iu
the mines, iu search of tho missing ones.
It is believed that all the bodies are host
found except tho inside boss.

MUnDKREItS.
San FrtANcjKOo, Juno 0. Despatches
from Boyle's camp, dated yesterday, relate
the particulars of an altrocious massacre
of Modoc prisoners, 'supposed to have been
perpetrated by Oregon volunteers. Satur
day morning James Fnirchild nnd about a
dozen other men left Faire.hild's ranche.
Cottonwood creek, with seventeen Modoc
captives including women nnd children,
nnd Shncknasty Jim, Bogus Charly. Tehee
Jack, Pony and Little John. The Indians
were in a wagon drawn by four mules. At
the croossiug of Lost river the pnrty en
countered a body of Oregon volunteers un
der command of Capt. Hisar. The sol
diers gathered about tho wagon and ques
tioned Fairchild ; tho latter told them tho
Indians were all Hot Croks except Little
John, nnd thnt there charsres against them.
Fairchild undertook to push on to Boyle's
camp, and the volunteers retired to their
camp near Crowley's. On the road Fair
child noticed two men ahead, riding to
Rocky Point, as if to intercept him, When
tho team approached the two men, one of
them presented n needle gun at Fairchild,
saying "get. down vou old whito headed

child ? "Mine, I am going to kill Indians,
and you too," was tho replv of tho leader
as he caught hold of the mules and unhitch
ed them, cutting the harness. Fairchild,
cringing to tho Knc3, leaped to the ground.
The poor wretches implofed for mercy, nnd
begged Fairchild to save them. The war
riors were unarmed, nnd knew resistance
was useless. They were tho coolest in tho
party, although facing inevitable death.
Every one hre condemns tho affair ns
atrocious nnd without, excuse. There is
no doubt but the murders were carried out
upon n carefully nrranced plan, ns Fair
child noticed horsenierWn tlie road ahead
and behind him when the shots were fired.
Had John Fairchild, instead of James,
been present, another murder might have
been added to tho list, ns tho Oreeotilnn

BALLOON TRIP'tO EUROPE.
TnE PROPOSED TRIP OF THE LANCASTER
AND READING AERONAUTS.
Professor John Wise nnd W. H. Don
aldson, two experienced and well-known
aeronauts, propose to take the balloon voy
age of which so much has been said and
so little done. Tho Boston Beard of Ale
ermen have responded to a petition from
them, nnd made an appropriation of S3,-
0o0 to aid them in fitting out, their a'rial
ship, in which they will start from tho
Common in thnt city on the Fourth of July.
The gentleman intend taking two other
persons with them, nnd through the co-op
eration of the Franklin Institute in Phila
delphia, expect to secure tho services of
two scientuie men.
Professor Wise bases his reason for un
dertaking this perilous voyage on tho fol
lowing theories : At a certain heiiiht above
the earth there is a cnutinuous nir current
or tide setting from west to east, cnused
mainly by the ceutnmgal force generated
by the revolution of the earth on its axis,
and that this current moves at the rate of
from CO to 100 miles per hour. Thus ho
expocts to reach Euglaud in two days, at
the most, from the time of starting. i'n7a

CORRESPONDENCE.
Letter from I'hlladrlphlii.
Philadelphia, Juno 10, 1873.
.Friend W'ilvert:
Having a leisure moment, a thing rather
rare at this our busy season, 1 take advan
tage of it, to drop you a line or two. The
hot weather of the past few days, has had
tho cfl'eet of hurrying off to the country
thoso who intend to shake tho city dust off
for tho warm weather. Some no to tho
mountains, some, to the sen-shore, others
to Europe, and those, liko your correspon
dent, whoso business will not run itself,
tske ndvantnge of tho facilities of travel,
and spend the nights in the country, com
ing iu in the morning refreshed with pure
nir, working it on" during tho day, return
ing worn out nnd exhausted iu the evening
for a new supply, and such the daily round.
The great iucrwaso of travel to Kuri po is
very plainly evidenced by tho crowded
steamers ;oing out, nud the difficulty of se
curing accommodation. A distinguished
clergyman said to me n few days ago, he
hardly knew who of his congregation were
ftt home, he'd been using tho pinyer of
thoso going to sea so constantly.
Since my last, little of moment has oc
curred in our city unless it bo tho obser
vance of Decoration Day. Never has it
been so generally observed. Here, by sug
gestion of the Mayor, it was a holliday.
The municipal find National public offices
were closed. Many of the posts assembled
early, but the generality of them immedi
ately after diuner. Post 2, of which your
correspondent had the honor of being
chairman upon decoration, assembled at
Headquarters at 1.30. The morning had
been very hot and we were all dreading
tho dusty march, when about the time of
moving ihe sky became heavy find a storm
seemed approaching. From extreme heat
nt starling, it changed, before reaching
Monumental Cemetery to comfortable chil
ly. In former years we've always been
accompanied by nn escort of National
Guards. This year wo dispensed with
them, nnd every one was greatly pleased
with tho contrast. The escort always de
tracted from the appearance of tho Post,
ond being, in many cases, heedless boys,
lessened the solemnity of the occasion, as
well s iu tuauy cases doing injury that
cost the order considerable to repair. We
had about 100 men in Hue, with uniform
dress of black coats, pants and cravats
whito vests nnd gloves fatigue cap. Grand
Army badge and Post mourning badge
worn on tho loft lappel of coat and above
it a rosebud iu buttonhole. Wc had seve
ral wagons londed with flowers following
the line anil they again by carriages con
taining chaplains, orator, Glee Club, re
cent porters and disabled comrades, your
correspondent among the latter, owing to
rcsevcre injuries. The column was led by
Bock's (free) Baud, tho best in tho city.
Alter a short parade ending at Broad aiid
Coates, the procession moved out Broad
street in open order, stopping to decorate
the monument at Broad and Girard ave
nue, arriving at tho Monumental Cemete
ry at 4 o'clock. The band playing a dirge
aud tho bells tolling as we entered the
grounds swarming with people many of
whom had been waiting for hours in order
to have a good position to see. After the
exercises around the monument, aud an
oration by comrade Bosbyshcll, the Post
proceeded to decorate the graves by de
ployed skirmish line. Recall sounded
about C o'clock, after which the Post re
turned lo the city, getting back just iu
time to miss n heavy shower that came up.
Yesterday was a great day among the
militia organizations of the city. In tho
old times before tho war it was called bat
tallion day. The'oivasion was the Spring
muster ami inspection of the 1st Div. N.
G. of Pa. Geueral Prevost, the command
er thereof, true to his instincts of opposi
tion to the G. A. It., chose a day set apart
by that order in the State, to assist their
comrades iu New Jersey, in dedicating ft
Monument in Camden. It is not tho first
time he has done so, having once appointed
a muster upon Decoration Day. It must
be intentional, for a man, even of the Gen
eral's ordiuaiy intelligence, must have
been aware of it. Aia consequence grum
bles long and loud were heard upon every
side and added not a little to his unpopu
larity with his Division. An eye witness
told me this morning that tho a Hair was a
miserablo failuie, aud the quiet way iu
which the morning papers review it really
indicate it. Despite tho obstacles our
neighbors in Camden had a gala day, nnd
a grand turn out.
Muuy of your readers were personally
acquainted with, nnd others knew by repu
tation very well, the Uev. Albra Wadleigh
formerly Hector of tho Episcopal Church
in Muucy, nnd lately of Germantown, nnd
were, no doubt, shocked lo hear of his
sudden death ou the 2,"th ult., iu the prime
of life and usefulness. Death ul all limes,
sad, in this case, lo all who knew aud lov
ed him, inexpressible so.
The Rev. L. W. Gibson for many years
Rector of St. Matthew's Church iu your
place has recently resigned his position ns
Assistant Minister at M. .James Church,
one of the oldest and wealthiest Episcopal
congregations in this city, which only a
few years ago, built a handsome new
Church at 22J and Walnut. While we
reerd tho necessity demanding the step
upon Mr. G.'s purl wo know ho leaves
many friends behind who will always wish
him well. Tho Rector of St. James, the
venerablo and Moved Dr. Morton, is a
rare instance of long and faithful service.
He came a Deacon lo the Parish, and was
Bishop White's assistant therein seven
years, and afterwards succeeding him as
Hector, and has remained ns such nearly
forty years. His first and only charge.
Long may he live nnd enjoy the love and
esteem of his people.

That Favorite Home Rrmedy,
I A I K It I L L f. It,
Has been before the public over Tiuuty
years, and probably has a wider and bet
ter reputation than any other proprietary
medicine of the present day. At this
period there nru but few unacquainted Willi
the merits of thu P.U.v KlLLKU i hilt while
some extol it us a Imimuit, they know but
litlle of its power iu casing paiu when taken
internally ; while others use it internally
with great success, but nre equally igno
rant of its healing virtues when applied
externally. Wo thereforu wish to say to
all, that it is equally successful, whether
used internally or eternally. It is sutlicient
evidence of its virtues ns a standard medi
cine to know that it is now used in ul! parts
of tho world, nnd tnat its sale is constantly
increasing. No curative agent has had
such a wide spread sale or given such uni
versal salibfiu lion,
Davis's Pain-Killek is a puroly vege
table compound, perpared from tho best
purest materials, nnd with a care that in
sures tho most perfect uniformity in the
uiediciuo ; aud while it is a most effective
remedy for paiu, it is a perfectly safe medi
cine ; nud while it is a moat effective re
medy for pain, It is a perfectly safe medi
cine, even in the mcst unskilful hands.
It is eminently a Family Medicine;
aud by being kept ready for Immediate re
sort, will save many an hour of suffering
and muuy a dollar in time and doctor's
bills.
After over thirty years trial, it is still re
ceiving the most unqualified testimonials
toils virtues, from persons of the highest
'character and responsibility. Emincat
Physicians commend it as a most effectual
preparation for the extinction of pain. It
is not only the best remedy ever known for
Bruisis. Cut, Burns, &c, but for Dysen
tery, or Cholera, or any sort of bowel com
plaint, it Is ft remedy unsurpassed for cfll
ciency, and rapidity of action. In the great
cities of Indin, nnd other hot climates, it
has become the standard medicine for all
such cotnplnints, ns well ns for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, nnd all other kindred
disorders. For Coughs nnd Colds, Canker,
Asthma, find Rheumatic difficulties, it has
been proved by the most abundant and
convincing testimony to bo an invaluable
raedeicine.
Wo would caution tho public against all
imitations of our preparation, either in
name, or style of putting up.
