FOR 61PI1EME JUDGE: II EN It Y OKEEX, Northampton County. FOR AUDITOR GfcXERAL: JOHN A. LEMON, Blair Coontv. It is evident that Mr. Kooniz as- Bames that by frequent iteration ho can persuade the general public that he can prove a negative, and accord iugly be puts in a weekly appearance wiib a cheerful preposition to make ihe effort When this learned law yer bag made a sickle convert to this cew legal proposition, we will take pleasure in publishing the fact. The Republican Electoral Com mittee of the Second District of North Carolina, met at G Idsbro oa the 25tb inst., and selected two Sherman delegates to the Chicago Convention. The St. Louis Times tells its party that the nomination of Tiiden will make doubtful States of New York, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Vir ginia. Tue Uaacock bom seems to have struck Somerset County, if we are to be allowed to judge from the conver sation of some of our Democratic neighbors. Uncle Sammy will Lave to pass the bar'l around this way. A Tilden boom has been started in ttis end of Peuapvlvania ; Alle gheny, and Westmoreland counties have both instructed for "Uocie Sam my," and we suppose Somerset may be counted in, when, the proper tirre arrives. A Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune concedes that public sentiment bas somewhat changed at Washington in reference to the third term, and states that the oldest and moBt experienced politi cians connected with the Republican party are in favor of it. Tue oft told story that, positive information has been received that General Grant will withdraw as a candidate, has again been tet afloat from Washington. Bat despite the story, nearly every day adds to the number of delegates elected to sop port him. The Republicans have held Con ventions in fifty-five counties in Ken tucky, of which thirty have instructed for Grant, three for Sherman, and one for Blaine. Where no instructions have been given, Grant delegates to the Convention have generally been appointed. The Democratic paper have not been sparing of their comments on General Grant's tour through the States, designating it as an election eering trip. It now transpires that Gen. Hancock is in Mississippi on a visit to a son residing there and bence the boom started for him in the South. The Democrats have b:c3me so accustomed to cry fraud ! whenever they are defeated by the Republicans, that to the great amusement of the public, the Wallace crowd in Pitts burg, when beaten by the Randall Tilden faction in the struggle for del egates to the State Convention last week, actually eet up the bowl of fraud! fraud!! The Republican State Convention, On Thursday last, elected delegates to the Chicago Convention, and adopted a resolution "recogoixiag General Grant as the choice of the Republicans of Texas," and instruct ing the delegates to "cast its vote as a unit for President." State Superintendent Wicker- SHAM has issued a call for a conven tion of Superintendents of Public Schools tbrongbout the State, to be held in the Capitol Building, at Har risburg, commencing at 2 o'clock p. m on Tuesday, April 27tb, and coo tinning during Wednesday and Thursday. Excursion tickets can be obtained from Deputy Superintend eut Hoock, at the Department. It isn't often that we have occa eion to commend the votes and ac tions of our present member of Con gresa. But in standing by the inter ests of his own State on the tariff question, and in declining to be bull dozed by the Kentucky bully, Black burn, be is entitled to commendation from all bis constituents. A little more ot this kind of independence on the part of Northern Democrats, would place that psrtf ia a much a ore enviable position than it vow occ&pies. The entrance of the "Salvation Army" into Philadelphia attracted -an immense crowd, aud would bave ended in a riot bad it not been for the police arrangements. The Mayor .prohibited any singing in the streets, bnt the eight of one hundred and fifty men and women quaintly uniformed created great excitement, aud there was a perfect jam around ke ball where the "grand charge" waa to take place. All travel was interrupt ed, women fainted in the terrific crush, and there were several narrow escapee from death The police had great difficulty in preserving the peace, aa uie crowa was very a:sor- derl7- ob tained control of Congress the coun- trv b&s bad exhibited to its admiring 8ie some wonderful statesmen. First there wai the bounding Banning from Ohio. tben cime Spinger of Illi nois, thrn Blackburn of Kentucky, announced that "he who dallies is a dastard, and be who doubts u damn ed ;" and now comes Townshend the sneak. Mr. Townshend is a member of Congress from Illinois, of do great intellectual proportions, who baa not been able to gain any particular prominence. For some reason this astate statesman has taken a dislike to tin Committee on Ways and Means, since that body has shown unmistakable evidence ot a determi nation not to open up the tariff ques tion pending a Presidential election. This kind of protection doesn't suit Mr. Towncbend, be is a free trader first, Ukt, and all the time. Fresi- 'dential election or no Presidential election. Having convinced himself that '.he Committee on the Revision ot Laws, of which be is a member, was largely composed of free traders, he conceived the brilliant idea of re ferring a bill for the revision of the tariff to that committee, and by an ingenious wording of the title, at tempted to pass the bill through the lIoue and past the doors of the Ways' and Meana' Committee, to which it properly belonged. The elation of Mr. Townshend at having, as he thought, deceived the House, was "a thing of beauty," but not "a joy forever." Mr. Conger, of Michi gan, discovered the snake in the grass, and called the attention of the House to the fact that the bill had gone to the wrong committee. Then the war commenced, and for two days and the greater part of a night the battle raged. Townshend was charged with fraud and an at'empt to deceive the House, seeking by a trick to evade their rules. At this be became very indignaat, and threat ened a personal asaault on Gen. Gar- Geld. The thing is only important as showing to what desperate straits the Democrats, especially the free trade winj of the party are driven, to accomplish their ends. The manner in which Judge Pear eon, of Dauphin, laid down tbe law in regard to the bribery and corrupt solicitation cases, is exciting consid crable comment. As underbid rulings every gentleman who visited Harris- burg in the interest of the riot loss bill, the border raid and other eimi Iar bills, and sought to influence votes to secure their passage, can be indict ed and convicted. When it is re membered that a number of the most prominent business mea of Allegheny and the border counties, visited liar risburij in the interests of the bills named, and are constructively as guilty as the parties convicted, it will surprise some of those who are so aoxiou3 that Kemble, Sailer, et al., should have their heads shaved and be compelled to wear striped clothes for a couple of years. If the same law ia to be applied to all, there would be great need of enlarging the penitentiarios, and soma of the most respectable men in the Common wealth, who went to Harrisburg with the purest of motives, would look out oa the world through prison bars. The fact that this might be the re sult, is, of course, no mitigation of the crime of the parties convicted, but it might ba well to bear this in mind, when in Bach great baste to ioflaeaca the opinion of the Board of Pardons in the case of the parties applying for their clemency. Since the above article was put in type the Board of Pardons have re fused the applications for pardon of all the parlies convicted at the recent term of the Dauphin County Court. All that the Grant men need to do in this State is to work in unison and with a will. The young blood of the party is all tor Grant. Paper alter paper has teen the wisdom and expediency of Grant's nomination, and commenced to advocate him. The people are for Grant. The fur ther you go from the railroad towns, out in the country among the mas ses, the stronger the sentiment for Grant. Omaha Republican. What is here said of Kansas might with equal truth be said of those Re publicans ia other parts of the nation who advocate the nomination of Gen. Grant at Chicago in June next. Not only is this unison necessary to se cure the most available candidate then, but it is best that all men who sincerely desire the good of the par ty and the country put themselves in sueh position as to ba able to unite and with ooe voice and one will work for the success of tfee nominee. While it is but nataral that Republicans should differ in regard to the comi nee, the nomination once made, the' Sbermaniem, Blaineism, Grant and other ism's all drop out of the ques tion, and they should be ready to meet on the common plane of Repub lican's, striving earnestly for those opinions on wich they firmly be lieve the safety ana wellfare of the nation depend. To this end we sug gest that in urging the claims of any one of the great names that are likely". to appear before the Chicago Con tention, it ia not necessary to eay one word that will detract from the standing of the othe-s. The Herald shall continue ia the future, as it has in the past, to arg the nomination of the Captain of Captaiaa, whose name is a tower of strength, but ii jrill have no words, save those of praUe for the gallant knight of Maine, or the great man whose steady hand brought light and order out of the financial cbaoa. atom.

The Democratic majority in the House of Representatives is just now presenting a very singular spectacle. It has been for two davs filibustering to f revent progress with the public business. Tne majority of no other Congress since the establishment of this Government has ever been known to resort to such desperate tricks and performances' as character iza the present Congress. Nearly ev ery move and attitude on their part appears to be strongly marked with revolution, and the belief is obtaining in a remarkable degree that it lurks everywhere, with so much strength that it ia an irrepressible factor in ev ery movement which the majority makes. The attempt to nuseat Y ash burn and Kellogg are as revolution ary as the firing upon Sumter, only in a different shape. So, also, was the attempt to capture the State of Maine by fraud, aa well as the steal ing of States in the South by bull dozing, fraudulent voting, and the counting out of honest majorities. All these things are in the interest of revolution. Democrats down here generally dama Grant s lock for not getting shipwrecked and drowned on the Gulf of Mexico during the late storm. ll's name makes the cold chills run down their backs, but Grant's "lock" brought him and tis ship all safe from the gale. This is the 6ame "luck" that called General Grant from bis triumphs in the West and placed bim in command of the Army of the Po tomac after it bad been eliminated of its strength and almost ruined through the incompetency of McClelian and the treachery of Fits John Porter. This is the "luck" that moved oo the Confederate Capital by the way o' the wilderness,, with pernstent pow er and consumate skill, until the ci'a del surrendered to Grant, and Lee exchanged compliments and courte sies at Appomatox. This is the "luck " which bore Grant through two of the most statesman like administrations of the government that decorate the page of history. This is the "luck" that has challenged for bim the re spect and honor of the Old World the admiration, respect and love of the masses of his own countrymen, wherever, and whenever he appears among them. This is the "lock" that followed him to Cuba and Mexico, secured for bim attentions aud hon ors seldom bestowed upon mortal in those sections of the world. Tbia is the "luck" which has brought him through the storm and preserved bis ship and himself from being engulfed in the sea. This -'luck" is the worth and merit of a man who moves un der the protecting and guiding hand of Almighty Power, and which never deserted our cause in its darkest hour, and has watched over, cared for aud given success to the wonderful career of the hero, and statesman of the Uni ted States of America. There is more good "luck" in store for him and "don't you forget it." The Brigadiers in Congress are just getting steam up. Last night they were feeling good, "not too good but just good enough." Spiritu Frumenti will tell. 1 suppose our Cfbeus Supervisor, Prof. Miller who I know was in the city, and who I understand was in the House last night will be able to tell the people of our district bow our Congressman was going to chaw op ia Brigadier. The story goes thus: Gen. Coffro'.b of Pennsylvania, who is a high tariff Democrat, happened to be under the voice of Congressman Blackburn. The latter was denouncing Speaker Randall. He said that be was a traitor to the Democratic party, and that it be much better if be would move bag and baggage into the Re publican party. Coffroth interrupted Blackburn in bia denunciation of the Speaker, and said: "I will not stand idly by and allow yon to thus speak of my colleague, and if yon persist in doing so, I think I would feel justified in striking you." "Well," retorted Blackburn, "you have heard what I bave said, and if you mean to Bay that what I have said ia not true, you are a liar." At tbia Coffroth made a menacing gesture towards Blackburn, but a demonstration be tween the two wa. averted by frien !a. As Coffroth moved away he said; "You say. Col. Blackburn, that the Speaker ia a traitor to the Democrat ic party. There ia one charge you cannot impute to him, and that is, that he never was a traitor to bia country." The Republicans are perlecUy disgusted with the action of Democrats in making asses of them selves before the country. The smuggling of Toweshend'a tariff bill to the Committee on Revis ion of the Laws, when it should bave been 6ent to the Ways' and Means' Committe, under the new roles lately adop.ed, has been prolific of personal disputes and unparliamentary pas sages between members. The Speak er has been severely criticised be cause of some of his rulings, aud, in ! fact, bad blood has been stirred up all round. Tne best part of the ses sion last night, however, was devo ted to good-humored raillery, but the actual business in band bad to be virtually laid aside before that state ot feeling was reached. As far as any political effect apon the senti ment of the eounty is concerned, the Democrats are the sufferers by this collision. Tbe party is divided and partially demoralized, while tte fter publicans are solid and harmonious. Mr. John Helff, from Berlin, who obtained a place in tbe Government printing office, some two mootba ago, is on a furlough with some 2,000 others employed at tbe printing of fice, wjp pave been deprived of work on axeuuet uf tbe failure ot the Dem ocrats to give the .Government printer sufficient fdods to crry on tbia large es'aoiirtiuient.

Soon after it met Mr. Hill cf Georgia presented the report of tbe Democratic majority of tbe committee of Privileges and Election", rtcom mending that Mr. Kellogg be de prived of bis seat Mr. Hoar arose to present the report ot tbe minority and asked that it be read. Mr. Hill objected, whereupon Mr. Conkiing suggested that Mr. Hoar read it himself as part of bis remarks, which he did. It ia a very brief but acatch ing document, and Senator Hoar read it with great empnasis. When be bad finished, Mr. Hill arose to read themejority report, in order that it might go to tbe country witb the views of tbe minority. He took bis place in front of tbe Clerk's desk and read for an hour and a half. Whea he had finished he made some explan atory statement, a and then Kellogg took the floor and made an impass ioned speech of an hour's lengtb de scribing tbe methods by wnicu the testimony had been obtained, and charging that Hill waa actuated by malicious personal motives. Before tbe Kellogg case ia disposed of there will be a debate in tbe Senate that the Democrats will have cause to regret, aud tbe wiser members of that party are very much disgusted at Hill's action in bringing it in at this time, when it would bave anew ered as well if he had waited until alter tbe presidential election.

As the child was mov ing off tbe eagle made a second cwoop, catching tbe child in its tal ons and with its prey rose into tbe air; but the child was too heavy and tbe eagle managed to flutter a short distance to tbe limb of a decayed oak. Its talons were so entangled in tbe clothing of the child that it could not get loose, aod the weight soon made it come down to the ground. Tbe frightened father of the child came up aod killed the eagle. Tbe child, save some deep scratches, was uninjured. Cob leased.
