Never licfore had the Republicans of Nor thumberland couuty cause to feel more pride in their ticket than they have in the ticket formed on Tuesday last The Con vention was full, and it was composed of of intelligent men who felt an interest iu the success of the parly as well as iu the se lection of good men as public servants even more so. than at any convention ever held before. Its deliberations were of the most harmonious character, and the most en thusiastic feeling was exhibited. Every delegate felt the importance of selecting men that will keep uptlw reputation of the 'leublican party by a strict adherence to d ry if elected such as will fully carry ou what has been commenced by the Re-puW-can officers of the couuty, an honest and judicious expenditure of the public monies. To eftect Ibis, men of irreproach able character must be selected. In this the delegates had an easy task to perform, as all the candidates offered were men who could be trusted in any position, and consequently the selections of the conven tion give feitisfactiou to the entire Repub lican part To-day we can truly assert that the part? is more united than in any previous campaign ; and with the popular ticket nomiuatec. wjH carry the county be youd a question. The ticket is healed by Hon. John B. Packer for Congress, v the uuanimous vote of the convention. M- Packer is so well and favorably kuowu tothe people of this county and the district, thit we do not deem it necessary to say much it regard to him. His public career is unblemihcd,and noth ing can be said detrimental tohis character, public or private. His friend: in the oppo site party as well as in his own, are many. He is more truly, perhaps, the candidate of the people than any man that has yet beeu on any ticket of cither party. He has been tried in public as well as -private life, and has gained the confidence of the mas ses whose interests he watches with care and assiduity. Iu the councils of the na lion he ha always been found to labor for the interests of the laboring classes, through which he lias gained a national reputation, and which gives him position and influence advantageous to the interests of the people of his district. That be will receive the nomi nation of the district, and that his election will be secured by a large mnjority, is be yond question. There is yet trouble in many of the Southern States. Southern disloyalty is not yet entirely extinct, as is apparent through the late troubles in Loui siana, and we need men iu Congress who have broad and intelligent views of the sit uation, and who will act in harmony with the defenders of onr free institutions. It is not the interest of any particular party to on represented in congress Dy such men as Mr. Packer, but the interests of the whole people demand it at the present time. The candidates for Assembly, Dr. J. J John, of Sbamokin, aLd John I. Parker, of McEwcnsville, are both gentlemen of more than ordinaty intelligence, and their iute grit y of character is unquestionable. Dr, John Las resided in the coal region during his whole life where he lias been interested in the chief interests of that section, coal and iron, and has made the wants of the miner, and those of the laboring class, a study.. Being a working man himself all liis life, lie will understand their interests and those of the region, better than any man that could have been selected. He is a man of ability, and will make a rcpresen tative of whom the county may well be proud. Mr. Parker was reared on a farm in the upper end of the couuty, where he resided until lie became of suflleient age to learn a trade when he learned that of wheelwright. lie is an excellent mechanic, and followed the business for some years when he again resumed farming. As a business man he has few superiors, and stands Ligh in the estimation of his neighbors, both Demo crats and Republicans. By Lis election the farmer and mechanic have an able ex ponent of their interests in our Legislative Halls. For District Attorney Gen. J no. Kay Clement was renominated. All who have attended our criminal courts well know that by bis efficiency and promptness, bu siness has been greatly expedited, and mo ney saved the county. He his always been found prompt in the performance of Lis duty to the Comnionwer.lth. By bis ability as a lawyer he has been most sue cec-sful iu the performance of uis official du ties, and as a gentleman he is always found to be courteous to all iu his private and official relations. Amos Yastine, Esq., was renominated for County Commissioner. When Mr, Yastine assumed the duties of this office, three years ago, it is well knowu that the finances of the couuty were in a deplorable condition. The county was indebted some thirty thousand dollars. The money of the lax-payer was squandered, aud the offi ces within the court house were in many respects denounced as a uuisauce by mem bers of both parties. After Mr. Yastine entered upon his duties, a change for the better was apparent, and was soon so great that it was noticed by every oue. Since his administration commenced the tax payer lias no doubt felt how important it is to place men of integrity iu office. By care and economy, or in other words honest ma nagement, the county debt was wiped out, the taxes have been reduced several mills on the dollar, and the offices are in a better condition than they hare been for a num ber of years. With such a record the peo pl of the county will exclaim "well done thou good and faithful servant," and will elect him U ervn anothor year. Under the caption of 'Our Candidates,' our neighbor of the Jhiuocrat, last week, attempts to bolster up character for the Democratic nominees. He does not deny that Sherwood is a carpet-bagger ; and while be is constantly crying "carpet-baggers," as a reproach to the Republican par ly, iu this case he does not show the least symptoms of fright at the sight of a carpet bag in the ranks of the immaculate Demo cracy. Ho says such charges "fall harm less at the feet of such men as Sherwood and Withiugton." As to Mr. Withington we have never charged him of being a carpet-bagger. We have only known him since the celebrated conference at North umberland, when Charles R. Buckalew was nominated in a mysterious manner over Thomas Chalfant for the State Senate, and, according to the Der,ix-rat, that oc cur! ed about the time Sherwood left Tioga editor must certainly believe that there has been no one reared iu this county, belong iug to the Democracy who is fit lo repre sent this district in the Legislature. He also complains that the offices are being multiplied. This, we should judge, would suit the Democracy, for there are certainly not enough county offices to supply all in the county who are begging for office in the Democratic ranks ; and if Democratic office hunters from other counties are to be fur nished with office in this county, there will have to be a further increase. The sala ries arc being doubled too, says our neigh bor. This, if correct, should not be a cause of complaint from him, as he knows j at a t ime with apparent ease. For Auditor, R. C. Ruckman, of Lewis, township, was nominated. Mr. R. is an excellent accountant, and highly esteemed by men of both parties as a man of inte grity. For County Surveyor, David Rockefeller, Esq., of Sunbury, received the nomination by acclamation. Mr. 11. is one of the old est as well as one of the best aud most ex perienced surveyors in the State, and a gentleman strictly correct iu all his busi ness relations. As he is favorably kuowu to almost every citizen of the county, we can say nothing more to secure his election, which is morally certain. We inadvertantly overlooked a contro versy between the editors of the Miltonian, Gazette aud Democrat in reference to the price ol advertising the ShcrifTs sales. It appears that the editor of the Democrat now pretends to be willing to confine the Sheriffs sales to one or two papers, and alleges that the costs come too high to pub lish in so many. Whether our neighbor is siucere iu the matter is questionable. We kuow very well that when be had the Slie rifTs advertising he found no objection to charging an exhorbitant price about one third higher than his rates published at the head of bis paper. Iu reply to the Pluto nian he says : "We were informed by the editor of the Atutriwn, shortly after the election of the present Republican Sheriff, that he was willing to reduce the prices for advertising Sheriffs sales one-third, but that the editor of the Miltonian protested against it. How is that for high 1" The truth of the matter is, that when the present shetiff was elected, we told him that the editor of the D( nun-rut had regu lated the price of the sheriffs advertising ten cents above his usual rates ; that we did not believe iu extortionate prices, espe cially when imposed upon the distressed, the costs coming from the parties whose propt rty is sold, and not from the officer ; that our rates were 2l cents per line for three insertions, beiug ten cents less than the Democrat charged. The Sheriff then took our rates as the regulating price. When the bills of the Mil tonkin and Gaztttc were presented they had charged according to the former prices of the lemorat. The Sheriff reduced their bills lo correspond with ours. Perhaps the editors of those papers did not like it, but they readily acquiesced in our suggestion. But what most astonished us was that the editor of the Democrat, who was not concerned in the transaction, also complained to us about the reduction, saving that we were foolish ; that we might have charged the same as he had done, aud no one would have known any better, aud desired us to return to the prices he had established. We replied that we would not charge more than our rates, 20 cents per line, as we con sidered it an imposition upon those whoe distressed condition should be taken into consideration. If the editor of the Democrat is sincere in the controversy to which we refer, he certainly would not have asked us to raise the price after we had reduced it. But we believe, as does the Miltonian, that he thought then that he would probably get the advertising again, and have the same fat job he had before. To show the inconsistency of our neigh bor as regards prices for advertising, &c for the county offices, we allow any one to examine for themselves, and they will find that our prices have averaged, thus far,one third less than his were when lie did the county printing. In 187.1 the Auditor's Report was pub lished in this, paper and the Miltonian, and the charges for each paper was 24. This year the Commissioners saw proper to pivfi the aHvriJf ff'xtftte and Democrat who charged the county $112 each, a difference of if 109 52 from 173. The Commissioners at first refused to pay the bill, but through the persistence of our neighbors they received the amount of their bills. If the editor of the Democrat had not complained about the costs after chareing one-third more than is charged now, and still persists in his extortions whenever he gets a chance at the county, he might now be thought to be sincere in Lis profession of mercy to the unfortunate whose property comes under the Sheriffs hammer. We cannot believe in his since' rity tinder the circumstances ; and we be lievo that were Lis party to get into power again, he would be the last to urge a reduc tion, and the first to recommend the esta blishment of former prices. The charges for the county advertising in this paper and the Hon. Charles Hays, a representative in Miltonian have been one-third less than Congress from Alabama, having expressed those of that of any other paper in the conn- himself, iu a letter to a friend, sadly disap- ty, and if our neighbor is sincere, we would pointed in the hope that "the reign of tcr- GFA'F.KAL xews items.

The retreat of the girl operatives being cut off, the -shrieks fiom the frightened aud half-crazed creatures at the blazing llames were heartrending. They rushed together in a body for the fire escapes ; but volumes of smoke pour3 into the room, where, to their horror, there were no means of es cape ; and quite a number in the meantime had fainted away, while others jumped from the windows and were picked up, some with limbs mangled, others bleeding profusely and dying. HORRIFYING SCENES. The excitement was terrible men, wo men and children running through the streets in a half-crazed mauner, many be ing not more than half-clad. Not until after the flames had gained great headway was the alarm sounded. At that time the flames were pouring out of the lower win dows. The attic or spool room contained from fifty to seventy-five young girls, and the first thing they knew of the presence of the approaching'fire was a dense, suffocat ing volume of smoke. Of course this pro- very well from past experience, that it is better to establish reasonable salaries than have them deficient in amount, thereby in ducing dishonesty. Let our neighbor look back a few years when the Ring was in power, and contrast that time with the pre sent. The voters, no doubt, understand by the reduction in their taxes that the "misrule" spoken of by our neighbor is not altogether the clean thing ; and it is well known that he gives circulation to misre presentations to subserve j arty interests. The editor of the Democrat should know better than to make assertions reflecting upon his own partisans, by presuming them too ignorant to penetrate the misre presentation that the county finances were in better condition under the Ring than they are at present.

As there is now no official information of his proceedings here, when his report is received I will give you a more deflnite answer, or have tbe Attorney General do so. I will state, how ever, that it is very gratifying to know that the State authorities of Tennessee are disposed to suppress and punish a class of lawless acta so dangerous to life and so op posed to every political, financial and moral iuterest of the State. But the Constitution makes, it my duty to enforce tha acts of Congress, and Con gress has passed laws giving tbe United States jurisdiction in such cases as are re ferred to in your dispatch. No special or der has been given to the Federal officials in Tennessee further than the circular of September 3 of the Attorney General, which is general in its nature, and constitutes in structions to all marshals and district at torneys, whenever violations of said acts may occur. I will add that the State and general governments, as you are well aware, may have concurrent jurisdiction over tho same offense, as, for example, in cases of counterfeiting, and the action of the State authorities in such cases does not prevent tbe General Government, from proceeding against the offenders.

Fall River, Mass., Sept. 10. One of those fearful calamities which shocks and saddens a community beyond the power of expression has visited the industrial city of Fall River to-day. Besides a fire of colossal proportions, involving a heavy loss of property, there is added the terrible re cord of twenty or more human lives among the sacrifices ; many have been maimed and injured beyond recovery, others hope lessly crippled for life. The story of the fire and its consequences is a brief and simple one, but the event has casta mantle of gloom and sorrow over the community which no brief time will obliterate. It was about seven o'clock this morning when the fire alarm bells indicated that there was a conflagration iu the manufacturing section of the city, and, of course, there was more than ordinary excitement among the citi zens. It was soon learned that the large Granite Mill, No. 1, was iu flames, and the wild and painful rumors followed that nearly all of the four hundred operatives employed thero were being literally roasted j alive. Everywhere there was the wildest terror and excitement, and it seemed as if the whole community was paralyzed with grief and insanity. AT THE BURNING MILL. It was but a few moments before the wildest stories were circulated in the other mill, and almost simultaneously work was suspended, and the frenzied operatives gathered around the fated factory. It was soon euveloped in flames from oue end to the other, and its almost entire and speedy destruction was at once a foregone conclu sion. The stoiy, as told by those who werc in the room, is to the effect that the fire originat ed from heat, occasioned by the friction of some machinery which was not properly oiled. It caught in the fourth story, near a large tower, in the centre of the mammoth building.

To the Adjutant-General United States Army, Washington : Last night, by re quest of Governor Kellogg, the city was placed in my charge. All was quiet this morning. Governor Kellogg occupied tho State House, aud resumed his gubernator- al functions to-day. V . II. Emory, Brevet Major-General Commanding. Governor Kellogg and such other Slate officers as are now in this city weut down to tbe State House at ten o'clock A. M. to-day, and the military authorities for mally delivered up the building to them and furnished a military guard. The Se cretary of State, Speaker of the House, Lieutenant-Governor and Attorney-General are somewhere in the North, aud it is understood Governor Kellogg has tele graphed for them to come back at once. He has also telegraphed to members of Congress, who are all absent from the State, except Congressman Smith, requestiug them to return at once to their respective constituencies. Governor Kellogg yester day sent the following to Congressman Sypher and Senator West : "I see by Western papers that you severely criticised my leaving the State House. I left it on Monday at the earnest solicitation of all our friends. The Lieutenant-Governor and Speaker of the House being absent from the State, aud accidout lo me, they felt, would have made compli cations desperate. Ihere were none but colored militia iu the Slate House, aud had they made any resistance they would have been burned out and massacred, the build ing oeing entirely lnueieusime. II our friends will come here and help us we will be very glad." It is understood that of the GOO metropo litans on duty last Monday only 2."0 could be mustered to-dav to relieve Bovlan's men. The Kellogg men offered a compro mise to allow Bovlan to remain as chief of police, but he declined the position unless the control of the force was committed to the city. When Governor Kellogg reached the ex ecutive office this morning General Brooke approached the Governor and informed him that he was prepared to turn over to him the State House and all tbe records and public property belonging to the State which Lad come into his possession at the time of the surrender of tho insurgents to his command. Everything, the general said, would be found precisely iu the same condition as it had come into his hands. The Governor accepted the transfer, and General Brooke thereupon immediately re tired. I New York, .Sept. 22, 1874 The people who are brought to New York a certain number of times each year growl (and very justly) at the enormous bills that ran up against them at hotels One canuot live at any first-class house on less than $7 per day ; and if one's tastes are at all extravagant, tbe cost will come very close to twice that sum. The fault is not altogether with the proprietors the owners of the property have something to do with it. The rents paid for these hotels are simply fearful. For instance, the Fifth Avenue rents for $200,000, the owners paying taxes, assessments and repairs But we must guard carefully against shed ding any tears for these martyrs. Despit the enormous rent, the lessees manage to skin the public so that they clear $250,000 per anuum. The Windsor, a finer but smaller hotel, pays a rental of 125,000 ; the Gilsey $85,000 ; the St. Nicholas S95, 000 ; tbe Metropolitan 8105,000 ; the Hoff man 75,000, and the Brunswick $85,000. On this latter house $250,000 was paid for improvements in 1873. You see the. proprietors have to make the people pay to pay their rents and keep up the style that the said people seem to demand. If is estimated that it costs tbe proprietors of the St. Nicholas $100,000 per annum to keep the house in repair and make good the wear and tear of furniture. But notwithstanding all this, the prices are too high, and there must be a break before long. Wealthy men can afford to pay these rates (they don't like to), but to the country merchant in moderate circum stances the matter of hotel bills is a very serious one. A merchant from Wisconsin cannot come to New York for goods and get Lome again without it costing him $200, which is two per cent, on $10,000, Lis probable purchases. It cuts a hole in his profits. the tricks or the gamblers. The fact that gambling is a regular pro fession, and regularly followed as a pro fession, is well known, but the methods are uot so well kuown. I came across a circu lar, the other day, of a dealer in what are politely called "sporting goods," that throws some little light on the subject. The manufacturer proposes to sell to whoever wants such goods "advantage and marked cards," which can be read from the back as well as from the faces, an ad vantage that is obvious, for the player who knows the cards reads his opponent's hand readily. Theu this dealer obliges his pa trons with cards cut peculiar shapes, by which any kind of a hand can be dealt. For example, the backs of these cards are marked to show the size iu the right hand upper corner, and the suit in the left. A certain mark in the right hand upper cor ner shows the card to be a king, and a cer tain mark on the opposite corner shows it to be a spade. Which brings gambling down to a tolerable degree of certainty. But this dealer doesn't stop at cards. He makes dice that will throw any number you choose ; aud furthermore he will sell you machines which you may conceal iu your sleeve, by the aid of which you may "hold out" cards or play extra ones. Aud that a young man shall have no lack of fa cilities for being a scoundrel, he sells.fbr the absurdly small sum of fifty cents, a What ought to be done is now being done. The courts furnish the proper arena for ' these gladiators, for iu the courts, with j sworn witnesses, something approximating the truth can be arrived at, and the public mind be set at rest. RUM AMONG CHILDREN. It is a terrible thing to see a full-grown man hopelessly under the influance of alco holic stimulants ; it is a thousand times worse to see a woman a confirmed drunk ard. But if it is so fearful for adults, what cau be thought of it in the case of children ? Drunkenness among chidren iu this city is quite common now, and it is growing with fearful rapidity. One boy in Brooklyn died last week aged fourteen. A post-mortem examination revealed the fact that "death had been caused by the continual and ex cessive drinking of the vilest rum." The medical testimony went to Bhow that the vital organs had been literally eaten'away, that the liver was in as shocking a state as if it had belonged to a drunkard of fifty years' standing. The mother of the de ceased boy stated to the coroner that he had arrived at that stage when he could do nothing but drink. He had not eaten any kind of 6olid food for a considerable time before his death. I saw, yesterday, from my window, a boy and a girl not over twelve years of age the girl could not have been ten rolling along the sidewalk now in the gutter, then in the middle of the street, both in a state of beastly intoxication. Ragged and dirty, unkempt and unwashed, their faces blazing with the lurid light of hell, they wore the debauched look of drunkards of longstand ing. Of course they will keep on as they have begun, and will, in a very few years, go to sraves in Potter's Field, of delirium tremens. The terrible thing in all this is its frequency. In the lower part of the city there ate thousands of these juvenile drunkards, and then there are enough of tbem in the upper part, in the good resi dences. The common practice of keeping liquors on side-boards, and using them at the table, is bearing its fruit. The Ameri can child is too nervous, too easily excited, to make such indulgences safe. There is something in the atmosphere and climate of this section of tbe heritage that makes rum in every form a danger. And, unsafe as it is, there is no city in the world where so much of it is used. BUSINESS has revived a little not much, but enough to make us fee! that life is not entirely ex tinct ; that people still live, and that they have got to eat, drink and wear. The great tea house of II. & G. B. Farrington & Co. informed me that since the war trade had uever been so dull as during the first two weeks of the present September ; and the dry goods, clothing, hardware and boot and shoe men bear similar testimony. I went among them yesterday, and found their faces a little broader and not quite so long. Tho buyers had evidently come to the con clusion that they must have some goods, ana natt -gone iu" to some extent, they were tossing goods about quite lively, though their purchases footed up rather light. Notwithstanding, the merchants hang ou to tho hope of a fall business with commendable pluck. They say that the stocks in the country are exhausted (for but little has been bought for a year), and that the people must buy. In this they are doubtless correct. Trade must revive, but I have a notion that the hard limes in New York is not altogether owing to the hard times fli the country. The importers are doing fairly well here the jobbers are the sufferers. Is not the trade changiug ? Is not the jobbing business leaving New York and concentrating in the cities in the in terior ? Are-not such points as Provi dence, Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, Cincinnati, to say nothing of the hundred smaller centres, supplying the retail merchants of their respective sec tions ? What is the use of the country merchant coming to New York oftener than is necessary to know how the market moves, from actual inspection ? ily opin ion is that the jobbing trade is leaving this city, and that in ten years the interior points will do it all. THE WEATHER. Have you had any rain ? New York has been blessed with three days and nights of steady, constant, soaking rain. It has been a very wet rain. Tbe streets have been flooded, the air has been cooled, and it has become a pleasant, decent thing to live once more. It was needed here, as it was everywhere else.
