TIIETH'KET.SITlMTIO.V nSVIEWEB.
In more than on instance dissatis
fajition, it might bo said, decided hos
tility, has been expressed in these col
umns at the manni"!' of the calling and
holding of the Convention that re
centjy nominated our county ticket.
We don't like it yet. Of the twn
nominated we have not said a dispar
ajrinz word. -There is reason in all
things, and it must appear now that,
no matter how much tho loss of iin-
animity is to bedeplorcd,there will be
no attempt made to secure any fairer
understanding, llns granted tho
next best thing in the interest of tho
county is to give them a strong fight
thoso of our kind in tho Congress
ional matter, the Opposition in tha
county campaign.
Our claims- for ths former are pre
eminent, and, aside from our personal
wish that all tho competitors should
have had representation equal to their
acknowledged popularity, in the con
test for who should bear the honor, we
consider tho nominee Capt. J. B
Donley a fit man to represent Greene
County and the 2 1th District. His
name will go before tho next confer
ence as the choice of the county. This
being so ho must of right bs our next
Congressman. lie is young, of fine
ability, active, able and energetic.
His success in securing the nomina
tion hero proves this. It is fair to
presume that he will exert himself as
efficiently in the District.
Mr. Geo. G. Miller, of D.mkard
township, the choice of the Conven
tion for Assembly, is a young man of
decided worth and an ex-soldier. He
will be fully able to cope with any
antagonist in the field of politics in
this county whom tho Opposition may
bring out.
Mr. Thomas J. Penn, the nominee
for Commissioner, we have not tho
honor of knowing, but arc assured is a
highly respectable citizen and in every
way competent to fill the office to which
he tlwvld be elected.
Of the other two candidates, Mr.
Th03. Ross, for Poor House Director,
and Mr. IF. W. Tijlor, for Auditor,
wo have but slight knowledge. Tak
ing the wordof our "handsome" neigh
bor of tho Umanger, for it and it is
only in such rare cases his word is ac
ceptable they are good men ; though
wo should like to know what they
havo dono to causcliini to say so. He
says with these "last named gentle-
men we are well acquainted, and have
been many years. They are very
good men and if they were only on
tfie rigid tide would make very good
ffioors."
With this brief announcement the
'ocks are cleared." Let the crew
take their pusitions onc3 more on the

Btrong pull," allogetier ! smash in the

The above is not calculated to in

of those who are ardent in their devo

with all its devilish, plundering
schemes. It is undoubtedly ihe sense
j0f that portion of Democracy who
supported the war. They are a most
formidable clement of that party. The
supporters of Seymour, constituted
largely of "bond barons" and "nristo-

choice, we would select Geo. II. Pen

Miles O'Reilcy, speaking for the
War Democrats, disclaims all sym

and his repudiation and surrender

nated. "Tho War Democrats," says
he, "are only retained in the ranks of
an organization that has outraged
patriotism for so many years, with the
slightest link of association, ' and
they will never help, directly or in
directly, by assertion or silence, by
action or idleness the election of the ul
tra Copperhead and falsa-hcarted
Northerner, Goo. II renJleton."
Oa tho other hand, remarks tho
Pi-ex, the Peace Democracy are equ
ally severe on Gan. Hancock, and in
sist most positively that thoy will not
vote for any man who wore epaulettes,
and fortify their opinions by referring
to the MeClellan fiasco. To have
fought for the Union, and particularly
to have hurt somebody in so doing,
is an unpardonable offence in the ryes
of the pure and untainted Democrats
of he old school. The happy family
to be caged at New York next July
will pnacnt an interesting study.
THE COSFSKEK.'
The men chosen to represent Greene
county in tho next Conference make
positive declarations that they will go
there for no other purpose than that
of insisting upon tho recognition of
our county. Wo take them at their
word with the understanding that they
vote for her first, last and all the time !
No reasons can bo urged in favor of the
other counties which are uot as readily
applied to ours, whilst there are those
in our behalf w hich the others have
not. The backwardness of tho com

HOBRESDI REFERtXSt
Tho Lewistown, Pa., Gazette tells
the following:
"Considerable excitement cxist3 up
the river, caused by tho marriage of a
young "Democrat" to a mulatto girl,
who strange to say, were married by a
"Democrat" 30 that the whole affair
is a Djra xiratio proceeding, probably
adopted to carry out the views of a
white man's government. This is the
third instance of practical amalgama
tion of late years in this county, and
curiously enough in every case the
parties were Democrats. The only
voter in this county tinctured with
Ethiopian blood is also a Democrat,
and is as regularly marched up to the
polls as a horse to his rack without an
objection from the white Democracy."
From the anguish of onr "hand-
. (.., vmntv Democrat or Iio-
, . . - , .
puMiran-wIio is in favor of tins
indiscriminate mixture of the races
We answer, no! And for this reason
suggest the insertion of a clause in tho
Civil Rights Bill prohibiting white
"Democrats" from wooing daiky maid
ens. We might in addition state that
there is not a voter in our county of
doubtful parentage or "olive tint" who
casts a balli but for this "nigger
hating" "white-men-to-goveru" party.
Not longer' ago than '63, one of their
bcllowinz orators, endeavoring to
"harrow up the soul and freeze the
blood" of Grosno county Democrats
proclaimed it abroad that their wives
and daughters wore not safe under the
provisions of tho Civil Rights act.
That "they were liable to be outraged
by a buck negro and no redress could
be attained in our courts." Since then
the lie has been given to tho assertion.
At a recent term of court a negro of
"visible admixture" was tried and
condemned to two years imprisonment
in the penitentiary for the alleged at
tempted violation of a yoiing white
girl. So it will be in every instance
where tho parfect justice of this Bill is
questioned and maligned.
NOLIHER KTATENMCS,
In our last article we entirely forgot
to mention Washington, "first in war,
first in peace, and first in tho hearts of
his fellow citizens."
We will now attempt to show why
the statement proved in ihe former
article is true, namely, that the great
est soldiers havo been also the greatest
statesmen.
In the first place, the strongest minds
in every ago have been attracted to the
profession of arms, as a sure and hon
orable way to cain distinction. How
ever revolting war may seem, when
viewed rightly it has always been held
as noblo and just. From the time
Homer sang of the 'wrath of Achilles,'
heroes in war have been applauded to
the skies, and rewarded with the best
gifts of their country. There have
been wars in every century, and thus
it is that in the intervals of peace the
greatest minds are found among the
soldiers.
The education that professional sol
diers receive fits them to bo good
statesmen. They are trained to habits
of diligence, of prompt and decisive
action. As a general thing (hoy are
more temperate in their habits than
those who have been raised in civil
professions. Thus, when they are
called upon to assume command of a
State, they arc not liable to fall into
drunkenness, and all irregularities, as
eomc politicians havedone.
A commander of an army, one who
has conducted a campaign, is especially
fitted to bo a good Governor. To
command an army, to win victories,
requires a high degree of sagacity and
practical common sense, lie must be
able at all times to perfectly compre
hend the situation, to know what the
enemy is most likely to do, and to take
advantage of every weakness in the
foe. He is also accustomed to enforce
prompt obedience, to punish every
infraction of the laws. The life of a
soldier also makes him thoroughly ac
quainted with human nature, a knowl
edge that every statesman must have.
As a general thing soldiers are less
easily bribed than civilians. They
live more for glory than for money.
So we find in all history that the
truest patriots have been thoso re
nowned in arms. And surely they
who in the late war went and fought
for their country were as patriotic as
they who remained at home. Our
country has had but one Arnold; it
has seen two Tylers.
In almost every war that has been
waged since the flood, the successful
chieftain has been rewarded by being
made the ruler of his country. And
thus it will be with Gen. Grant. The
people of the United States owe him
a debtrof gratitude that can never be
repaid. The nearest approach to pay
ment willale when they elect him to
the highest office in the world.

Geueral Jamei A. Bjaver, of Cen

of Philadelphia. Thcco:n:nitteo will

THE KN! OF THE TKME.
Impeachment began February 21,
when the President issued the order
removing Mr. Stanton. Impeachment
will end May 12, when the Senate will
issue the order removing tho Presi
dent. The Senate has fixed the day
when tho vote shul! bo taken upon tho
articles, and at la-t tho country may
hope for end to its long suspense. No
man can say, remarks the Philadelphia
Pod, that Andrew Johnson lias not
had a fair trial. lie was permitted to
introduce irrevelant testimony; his
counsel had all the time they demand
ed; he was given ample time to pre
pare his defence; he was treated by the
Senate tvith far move liberality us an
enemy, than it would have dared to
show to a friend. The feeling of Sen
ators seems to have been that as Mr.
Johnson is a sworn foe, unrelenting vi-
olont, and unscrupulous, that their
dignity required that be should have
the amplest indulgence. This mag
nanimity prolonged the ti'Uil, and
wearied the patience of the people, but
ithal this advantage that no man
can hereafter complain that Andrew
Johnson bad not a fair tr.tl. Ho has
been tried with princely liberality, and
if he has not established his innocence
it was not for tho want of opportuni
ty, but of any innooonoo to establish.
" That the verdict of the Senate will
be "Guilty" wa cannot doubt; but
even if that body should acquit him,
the people will not exonerate him.
They have already pronounced him
guiltv, and history will record a judg
ment which is more nuthoritive than
that of any court. "America's most
degraded son," in our history he will
have a place more shameful than that
of Jellerson Davis, for the rebel nt
least was true to tho purpose of his
life, and nt least committed his treason
with courage. But Johnson is a ren
egade, crouching at ono moment and
threatening the next; vulgar in every
thing he has done, and only saved
from the extreme of villainy bv his
stupidity and cowardice. But all iie
dared do to restore the rebellion, be
did earnestly, and the verdict of all
time will bo that no American ever
did more to disgrace his country, or
more richly earned punishment and
perpetual disgrace.
Iiniipelim ?nt.
Washington-, D. C, May 9.-Tiicre
are no further significant developments
in regard to impeachment. The Dem
ocratic evening paper concedes that the
President will be convicted, but two or
three Senators, who have been looking
over the ground, are not yet sure of
such a result. Tho strong impeach
ment nicn of the House arc, however,
entirely confident of success. Large
numbers of Republican Senators have
been engaged to-day in looking over
the law and facts,and n majority of
them arc deemed to be thus engaged
this morning. Mr. Edmunds is wri
ting a careful and elaborate opinion,
about which there ia more than usual
interest, as ho drew up the tenure-of-oflice
act, and had charge of it at every
stage in tho Senate. There is a good
deal of quiet consultation and canvass
ing going on this evening.

On Sunday evening of last week the
villago of Shanghai, Warren county
Illinois, was visited by a most appall
ing storm of wind, rain and hail, de
stroying many houses, and making
others desolate. Iho storm was first
observed approaching in a cone-shaped
cloud, about a quarter of a milo in di
ameter, and whirling around with
great violence. Its power was first
discovered in a pond. It literaly
sucked largod quantities of water out
of tho pond and up into tho air almost
making tho pond entirely dry. It
went on, gathering new strength, lev
eling fences, twisting oif trees, and
sweeping everything before it. There
were fifteen dwelling houses totally
destroyed. Many of them were pick
ed up by the whirlwind, lifled into
tho air and carried quite a distance,
and then, seemingly with demoniac
fury, dashed to the ground mid shiver
ed into a million fragments. Several
other dwellings were blown from their
foundations. A fine school house, and
two churches the only ones in the
village were scattered in fragments
over the prairie lor nearly half a mile.
"Satnnlo While Meier Mobs."
That high toned Democrat and ele

"Brick Pomcroy," who on his pas

casion, was so highly lauded for his
intellectual and social qualities by his
contemporary, the Pout, prints the fol
lowing choice morceai in a late num
ber of his paper :
"It devolves on Democratic Journ
als and speakers to warn the people

On Saturday the 2d inst. a most
extraordinary hail storm was experi
enced in Southwest Missouri, at Ar
lington. The storm came up from
the South, with a limited range, ac
companied with heavy thunder and
vivid lightening, and driven onward
by a furious win I. Amid torrents of
rain the hail came, of most portentous
size, solid, hard as wintry ice, tho
stones ranging in weight from two to
ten ounces. They stormed down on
the houses and streets, of the town with
frightful violence and destructive ef
fect. Not a house escaped having
glass shattered and destroyed.
Hail stones as largo as a man's fist
ninid myriads of smaller ones, rattled
down for t he space of twenty minutes,
indenting boards, driving men, horses
and cattle to such shelter as could bo
found, killing some of the smaller ani
mals which could find no screen from
the furious and fatal storm. The cit
izens of tho town took refuge in dwell
ings and stores clustering in fright
in the very centers away from win
dows, which afforded no guard against
the dashing hail.

THE EFFECT.
The Harrisburg Telegraph reverts
to the fact that immediately after the
Radical victory in Arkansas, the bonds
of that State roso very rapidly in the
market. Precisely tho same thing oc
cured in Tennessee, and in this State
everybody lemcmbers that our bonds
were selling below seventy-five before
tho election of 18GG, and instantly after
that election jumped ten jut cent., and
have since risen to 109, with fiftecm per
cent, back interest paid. Again, in
Arkansas the papers at once begin to
talk of the prospect of having tho ot'
needed railroads completed, and capital
hitherto unwilling to invest in a State
so unsettled, begins to look into its en
terprises. Precisely tho same result
has followed Radical victories in Tenn
essee and Missouri. In n word, Rad
ical victory means restoration of credit,
revival of business, re-establish mcnt of
industry, development of resources,
building of railroads, order, prosperity
and peace.
The Pittsburgh Commercial of Mon
day says : Neither the number nor the
bulk of tho transactions of last week
will equal those of corresponding peri
ods in former years, still there is a
healthy tone animating the markets,
and a moderate degree of activity was
manifested in btMiiess and financial
circles. Nearly all the manufacturing
establishments are running on full
timo ami arc enjoying a demand for
all their wares. Soma particular
branches of business are unusu
ally brisk, having orders ahead for
months. Money is growing more
abundant every dav, and there is now
an occasional inquiry, on tho part of
capitalists, for securities in which to in
vest unemployed balances, ft is a
noticeable feature of the market, too,
that there is a gradual yielding, by
money lenders, of extreme views with
regard to the high rates which they
havo been asking and getting for mon
ey. The price for tho use of money
has ruled to high for weeks past, in
our local market, and now that the
"pinch is over, it is manifestly the
part of wisdom to relax a little on the
premiums. We think that we notice a
growing disposition with those who
have money to lend to invite borrowers
and extend more leniency in rates.
