above at the head of our rolii-niis, we
perfect the intention of two year's con
ception and believe we do that which
meets the approbation of all go id cit -
fzciis.
Concerning oar rnndidnte fur Prcsi-
dent, reasons nre not wanting why hi
name should be presented for the high
est national honor. If there is any
thing in the facts of his past record;
an early life consecrated to his conn
try's service ; his toilsome upward ca
reef in the f.ice of difficulties innu
merable ; his nnfliiK-hing integrity fir
the right ; his unassuming modesty ; his
political conscientiousness ; all would
point to him as tin; blight particular
Star in tlie coit 'llation of national
heroes. AVc favor his election to the
highest place in tlie nation because he
belongs to tlie People and is emphatic
ally their protege. II.J erne of
worthy though humble ancestors, was
educated ntthc expense of the People
nnd has ever served them faithfully in
all trusts committed to him. His
deeds hnve spoken for him nnd there
remains no doubt in tho minds of
thinking men but wlu.t his course in
politics" lias been and always will be
for "our country's welfare." We f i
vor his election because he proved
himseJfn soldier. Whatever .ealuiii
nics may be heaped upon him by those
whoso hearts nehed t the news o)'
Union victory and rejoice 1 over defeat,
he wis 'the Cotir oe Leon tint cleav
ed tho Canlhitiwey by persistent
blows. Wc llivor his election be
cause, since the war, he has "acted the
wny he shot," No single deed can be
cited, wherein his honor and that of the
country was .at .s.'ako, but- hat the
common goo 1 was". taken into consider
ation. Lastly, we favor his election
because fully two thirds of those who
arrayed themselves on the side of lib
erty in the recent war desire it. With
this Btalement, imperfect as it is, we
once more "fall in" with the grand ar
my enlisting nn ler his bann t, de'er
mincd to 'fight it on that same line,''
and with t'le co ivlcti in up c n ost t a
November next will witness moren
rious results than those achieved by
our leader on tlie memorable Oth of
April, 'C5.
Andrew Gregg Curt in', our next
choice, belongs to the Keystone State.
Her history has been made doubly
brilliant by the wise and successful ad
ministration of ex-Gov. Ciirtin during
the events of. the late war. To him
rightfully belongs the title of "The
Soldier's Friend," for no one Tailored
with greater .zeal for . their welfare.
Attentivo to their wants in the field
and hospital, he earned immortal fame
for his kindness, nnd to-dav the
widows and orphans if the fallen
speak his praise. Familiar as a house
hold word the name of Curtin is spo
ken of in every hamlet in the Stute as
the fittest of all other to bo placed be
side his forapatriot Grant.
Armed by a strong conviction that
we represent tho loyal people of the
countryjn hoisting the names of Grant
and Curtin there is a justice in the
proposition that cannot want a prnjier
end, and tho fight for lieing heartily
pushed will result in a more over
whelming victory I

Mrt. EditoH: I desire to commu
nicate through the columns of -your
paper a brief ..Sjketoli. coU'S'i'Jiing .the
ctosing exercises of a public school
taught during the winter by Prof.
New ton I trad dock.
The .school clo-ed 0:1 the 2 lt!l dav
of March. The day being pleasant,
at an early hour tho school convened.
Tiie house was nllolwiih spectators.
I'lie examin ition was thorough and
very satislactory to all present. The
pcrli inn mees were interspersed wilh
enlivening instrumental music by the
"Nebo string band," under the super
vision of Prcill UoWt ISuriis. To
the honor of the' ladies and citizens
wiio so generously entertained us with
the delicacies and good things which
they ha I provided, and wi'li-which we
so readily satisfied our appetites, wc
extend our sincere thanks. The en
tire exercises evinied faithful labor
on the part of the teacher, and dili
gence, application and marked pro
gress on tlie part of the scholars.
Mr. lira block's nictlio I of teaching
is certain to sA-uro success, nn I is
worthy of imitation. He is a model
Cirficator. He has acquired for him
self justly a reputation as a successful
teacher. ISut while wc arc willing to
give the teacher dm: credit for his
ability, efficiency and success in devel
oping the intellectual faculties of those
committed to his care, it is not for the
most finished workman to present us
wiilt the perfect specimen )t Inscralt
and skill, unless ho have the material
that is lilted to receive the finished
touches he would impart, and hein-e
we would be entirely too inrtiaLiu. our
commendation, did we not also' extend
a share ot it to thine whosj talents have
rendered them capable of such i:n
provemriit, even under, the i.i.smi, t'on
of an adept. .
At the close ol the examination the
citizens and parents present were call-

was but one sentiment cxiiressed, and
that was entire satisfaction. 1 he Uev.
cilevensun being present during the
greater part of the exercises, was called
on and replied in some brief but ap
propriate remarks. So did nlsolSuni
feagnrdon, Crow and Phillips teach
crs who were present. Mr. Phillips
delivered aa able address 0:1 the "im
portance of education." Spectatoi!.
Twenty-Tiirke States have held
their State or District llepublican Con

Chicago Convention, and all without
a break in the line, have pronounced
for General Grant, as tjieir candidate
for the Presidency.' "

A special dispatch to tho Commer
cial of April 21, says: Gov. li uitwell
finished liisnrgiimeut nt one o'clock to
day, and after a recess, Mr. Nelson, of
tho President's counsel, began w hat
proved to be one of the most ludicrous
speeches ever delivered in the Semite.
In the manner of the speaker, in some
of the matter, in gestures, in earnest
ness and in cll'eet upon tho Senate it
was fully cqu iltoa Hard Shell ser
mon, It more than overbalance ! the
worst that has ever been charged upon
the manner or bearing of any of the
managers. Judge Curtis i:ml Evnrts
could not by nny effort conceal their
disgust, and Curtis withdrew at an
early hour, but Kvnrts nnd Groisbeek
sat it through. P.y turns Senators
were disgusted nnil amused, nnd these
lootings wero display without regard to
party.
Mr. Nelsoa began by givin a brief
outline of his own pr.i.'e-slon il career,
from which it imn.'.iiv.l that he hi I
been a lawyer lb. liiinv ve.irsand had
tried I'.n.s involving life, liberty mil
character. The following is a fair
specimen of the first portion of his
speech : " I'hech argo, h id b w:i m 1 Ij
that the President was an unworthy
successor of those w ho had filled his
high olliee ; tint he was ribald and a
wanlo.i ; that ho bandied tests nnd
oaths with the crowd. Tlie
'su etrirgcs
hid been made and reiterated, and un
til now1 no reply had been made tolhem
and he proposed now before entering
011 a review ol'thearticlesof Impeach
ment, to answer them. If the P-esi-ileut
was such a man as had been naint-
e,i men no 1 Mr. would say he was

A letter from Hon. L. D. Campbell ,
of Ohio, to President Johns in, duel
May Oth, 13!i0, is pnblisha I to-day fiir
the first time. One object of the letter
was to urge a change in the Cab: net
and tho matter is thus summed up :
" The naked question prescntrd is
whether the Administration is to be
marked in American history as yours,
or as a mere continuation of Mr. Lin
coln's ; whether yo:i arc to open hooks
fiir business nn your own account or
merely to net as an "administrator

your fiicnds will expect you to carry

ting article, io!lutcssiiiiiestrikii!(j facts
and figures nbniit the liquor linllic in
the United States. 'J'bo Itevcmie re
port to thu Treasurer, January 18118
says : "The present production' oi'fi
tilletl spirits in the United States, the
orctieally available f(r assessment
and revenue, is imdouhtidly nbniit
fifty milllona of rrwf gallons pn-annum."
The total number of licensed estab
lishments for the sale of liquor in the
United States, is 130,000, that is one
establishment fiir every 2(lli persons,
or for every lil'ty-lhree families. This
statement cannot be nil exaggeration,
lor the more carefully prepared statis
tics of New York State give one grog
shop to every 1 8:1 of the inhabitants.
These PJO.OOO licensed liquor estab
lishments occupy more buildings than
there nre in the city nnd county of
I'hdadeijiina. according to the returns
of.lauuiry ISM.
If a frontage of twenty feet were al
lowed cadi liquor establishment, they
would form a solid row of buildings
more than four hundred and ninety
two mile lony longer than the rail
road route from lliston, bv wav ol
