For years past our county aflairs were conducted in a manner, calculated to bring odium upon any party in power. Tho Republican par ty, then, in tho minority, wisely selected some of the best men for their ticket, who were supported by the masses because they could place confidence iu them, and tho re suit was they. Were elected, and the people have nlrendy experienced such, a vast im provement that few would now bo willing to see' the former course pursued. ' For a number of years past extravngnut taxes were levied, and at the same tima tho coun ty indebtedness was increased annually, Until it reached upwards of twenty thou sand dollars. The tax duplicates were lift in the hands of favorite collectors unsettled, while' the tax-pnycrs were paying the inte rest on the money in their hands. Since the present bonrd of officers have taken charge, they have been vigilant in tho dis charge of the ir duty, nnd those who gave them their support have no reason to re gret having done ro. Only about seven months have elapsed, and we find that tho county indebtedness is already reduced more than one half, with a fair prospect of wiping out nearly the whole debt the first year of their management. Such manage ment is encouraging to every tax-payer, and we look forward to our Republican friends to coutinuc in the selection of such men from tho Hepublican ranks as will dis charge tho duties or office with fidelity equal to that of the present incumbents. Tho selection of candidates at tho coming Convention, will devolve upon the dele gates from each election distiict, and wo look for a strong ticket. It is only through a judicious selection of candidates that the llepuhlieau party can expect to succeed. For the accomplishment of suc cess it is all important that tho delegates be instructed by their constitucnts.and that tho best men in every district be selected as representatives to tho County Convention. Men of good judgment meu who cannot be influenced by office hunters, cliques or riugs men whoso sole object will be to form a ticket that will meet the approval of every honest man, and cnuse the masses to rally and elect them triumphantly. The Republican party is not at a loss for good and competent men to fill any office in tho county, and delegates should come prepar ed to make such a selection as will con tinue to give character to the Hepublican party by their honorable deeds, aud who on their retirement from office will leave no records behind them that will need in vestigation. Tnrc County Commissioners are now making an effort to secure tho money on forfeited bail bonds- and recognizances which were allowed to remain in the office without attention. They arc also strong ly urging the settling up of old duplicates which have been found to contain some of tlie grossest errors. When all tlio dupli cates, with but few exceptions, are found in their totals to f ill short of the amount of taxes charged, it looks as though some of the lling had been doing a flourUhiug business in the sale of duplicates to collec tors. Some of the duplicates fall short from 825 to $2'MV IYi-haps some of our Democratic friends might explain how this was done, and how the surplus money was appropriated. 'Walworth,, who shot his father, was found guilty by the Jury of murder in tho second degree, has been sentenced to hard labor fur. lilii in Sing Siug.

''Since 1 went away from you, more than twelve years , ago, . to . mingle-. with strangers to make new , friends nnd new foes I '. have seen more of our country than most of you ever will. In a little more than four years 1 have been iu thirty-one States aud six Territories. 1 have" looked upon the snow-peaks of British Columbia in July, .hd sheltered myself from the hot sun of January under the palm trees and in the orange-groves of Cuba. I have seen the gorgeous sunset of tho tro pics from the deck of nu Atlantic steamer, and watched him go down in glory ntniue o'clock behind tho waters of tho North Pacific. I have travelled by railroad over mountains li,.'KiO feet higher than Mount Washington, and look down upon vast treeless, level plains nearly thrco times as high ns tho highest point in Pennsylvania. From almost the same spot I have seen tho head streams of tho Colorado How south westward, and the tributaries of tho Mis sissippi begin their eastward course of four thousand miles to the sea. I have ridden on this same railroad 480 miles at a contin uous elevation of 0,0 feet and upwards, nnd for l.IJOO miles without getting below 4,000. From tho hills of Oregon 1 havo seen the waters of tho Columbia at points 1 0 miles apart, and beyond thorn livo mountain peaks covered with everlasting snow, tho lowest of them more than 10,0t0 feet above the tide, and nil of them from .15 to 100 miles away ; aud on the other aide tho Const llange, with its base laved by tho restless billows of tho Pacific. I havo seen nearly , every snow-crowned peak from Shasta to Edgecombe. I have navigated waters not much wider than our beautiful Susquehanna, whoso depth havo been sounded with lines of two huudrcd fathoms, hcmmeJ in by mountains on every side of .uinaius on cveiy moo ; lodiflering inouthnefron ; ike in their rugged and , o.iiOO lect, each ono its fellows, and alik colossal majesty, while from their untrod den cannons leaped scores of cascades, some of them four times as high as Niaga ra. r.. j i r . -v- it t t i i.-.l ii. i i. no lar.Noriu i , ave waiuuei. u . light linger to meet the dawn, where for TW"u ?i i diuk,iT W,, !fn i never uo. , i.noT0!!, rCrC?

Two of them were strangers to you, but to mo they were all dear and valued friends. And as long ns an unclouded intellect is vouch safed to mo their memories shall be honor ed aud cherished as sacred and holy things. And on more thau one occasion my own life has hung upon a single hazard ; but fortune favored me, and I nm with you once again. I have mingled with men aud women as noble, and true, and as highly cultured as can bo found in any country, so far above dishonesty, meanness, nnd false- i iiood themselves, as never to impute tin proven baseness to their fellow-creatures. And I have met a few of tho other soi l i miserable, low-priced, white-livered wretch es, who looked at the deeds of their neigh- bors through the blackness of their own i corrupt and degenerate hearts. Aud here I li t me entreat you never to take the d.irker view of any man's conduct, unless you wish j to proclaim to your associates the sort of ' man you are yourself. If people would learn to judge their fellows leniently iustead of harshly, the world would be a great deal j belter and liappier than it is to-day. It is my decided opiuion that a vast majority of 1 mankind is more inclined to good actions j than to bad ones, if for no other thau tho i sollish reason that kindly acts bring more J happiness to the iierforiuer. Xo man ever diil a malacious deed iu his life that ho did not sutler from it. J "I'unntuial deeds Do breed unnatural troubles Infected Uliiuls To their deaf pillows will cliehaic their 86ers." And no man ever did a good one that he was not the hnppicr for it. The older you get, unless your hearts are warped by long indulged avarice, the more inclined you will be to live for others rather than your self. In our declining years it is far easier to be happy by proxy. A philosopher of tho olden time, after seeing his possessions swept away by a great disaster, exclaimed, "I have lost all but what I have given away." Iu his penniless old age he could look wilh satis faction upon the hoards ho had laid up iu tho indesiructablc storehouse of charity. Mot many years ago, a dillercnce of opin ion iu politics or religion, and esneciallv iu I rclinioii. was rf 'tirdecl na lvursn than n. crime, even though indulged by those who, iu every other respect, were above reproach, ltut a happy cliaugo is coming over the world. This beastly intolerance is al- ! ,il,,y conlined to people of the narrowest 1 damnable sin it used to be, tor ns men bo- conio more enlightened they grow more tolerant. As. their powers of vision in crease ihcy can see more roads to Heaven fjian the narrow path pursued by them selves, and sometimes even smoother nnd better ones ILan they had been travelling. There is uo arrogance so detestable as that which claims infallibility of judge ment. There is no intellect in the world great enough to dictate to all the others. It generally happcus that those who are the least entitled to nn opiuion on un sub ject, are the most bigoted on all subjects. If you want to be fully enlightened 111 all the tremendous mysteries of the future you must consult some poor creature whose knowledge of the past and present is limited by his owu personal experience. If some people choose to go tu heaveu by water, as my pious frleud, Marks Priestly, onco re marked, no land-lubber has a right to pre veut them. I am so earnest an advocate lor freedom that I do not believe they ought to bo compelled to go there nt all if they arc decidedly of tho opinion that the other place would suit them better. 1 regret to say, there are somo people whom the other place would suit much better, for only there could they hope to find tke society and amusements to which they had becnuccus totuod. 1 ' ' . . .- There is one old inau before me who cau rtjmuiubcr when tie atone, of all who now live here, dwelt beside these beautiful waters.- There aro a few older men nnd wo men who came afterwards, but lie Is the oldest of those who were born here.

I havo talked about somo queer thiugs to avoid "spreading tho oagle11 on this glori ous anniversary, for if there is anything I hato it is hackneyod subjects and wornout phrases. I never made'but one Fourth of July speech in my life, nnd that was to a lot of Sunday-school children, in a Tucka hoo woods, thirty-one years ago, when I wns only a boy. Then' I flew the noble bird so high he was never able to come down again. The quill I plucked from his wing that day I loaned to my friend, Major, lhjwart, nnd ho says Harry Masser stole it from him during ho "Ijomoudiko" cam paign, lint 1 always thought my esteemed neighbor Sampsel got it when he was the colored candidate for tho legislature. A little more than a huudrcd years ago no white man's home was reared upon this spot. Tho Indian's wigwam stood upon tho densely-wooded shore, and nothing but his light canoe glided over the unbridged and undammed waters. Tho elk and the red deer browsed where Knpp's beautiful Alderneys and Tom Johnson's ponderous Cotwolds crop tho rich grass. And the wild turkey made her nest where Jenkins' high-priced iJorkings and Shanghais swarm with verminous parasites. The lynx, the cougar, the black bear, and the mountain wolf howled, and growled, aud shrieked over every clod of this now peaceful soil. The caglo built his eyrie among the inac cessible crags of IJlnc Hill ; while tho jn-o-J'unf. beaver never grew weary of ildu-mimj the inoffensive brooks.

At tho time of tlio explosion there were stored in the magazine seven huudred pouuds of giaut powder and seventy pounds of uilro-glycering. Shortly before dnuk ou Thursday evening three men were seen iu the viciuiiy, who were not recog nized, and who are generally supposed to to have been the en use of the disaster. The inhabitants believe them to have en tered the building iu some way to steal powder for tho Fourth of July, and that, by unknown means, either with match or candle, they Bet tire to somo loose powder.

It was a moment of the most intense anxiety, and the crowd stood breathless while the balloou went higher nnd higher until It attained an altitude of at least half a mile, when it paused for an instant, there was a struggle, and the body slipped from between the ropes that bound it to the car, which instantly began to fall, while the balloon, loosened from its burden, bounded up higher. Tho car upset, and the profesor fell, at first head foremost, nnd then turning with his legs aud arms out stretched wheeling like I'mhtniuji towards the earth.
