for Auditor General
Of the gentleman suggested we can speak
front very long acquaintance and Intimacy,
soil from knowledge that can not be mistaken.
To a private ammeter without blemish, a po
litical record e it bout spot, he unites ability for
sorb duties that are rarely equalled, firmness
and honesty that no pressure could move, un
selfish patriotism that would ever look only
to the public good, the purest morality and
the soundest dinerellon. We doubt Aliether
a candidate more thoroughly fitted - for the
place or to whom less objection could I.e
urged, could be found in the State.
Mr Eihugert was elected to the Senate in
1867 from a Republican district, but was tura
ad out of the seat by clear, undisguised and
undefiled corruption—was literally bought
out. fled Ito not declined a canvass for re
election the people would no doubt have sent
him back to the Senate by • majority that
would not have been disputed
Mr. Shugert wee for several years connected
with the Patent Office In Washington City,
and such was his Olden. y In that depart
ment of the government that lie wan not only
retained by his own party but under several
administrations of adverse politico. Ile has
also several times held official position In Cen
tre county. fiotwithatanding these fact., he
waa never a seeker for office and has only ec
erpled when voluntarily tendered to hint.
Such a candidate would I.e no honor and a
tower of strength to the party, and such an
me only should be nominated at this 0r1.14,
State Convention on Wednesday
The Chairmanship
A number of our Democratic ex•
changes are manifesting considerable
anxiety in reference to the next Chair
manship of the State Central Commit
tee. Of course they all express a de
sire to have a good and able and ac
five man, which is right and proper,
and our own desire exactly. lint this
will depend, we presume, in a great
measure, upon the chairman of the
Convention Of the 24th instant, anti it
is here that discrimination and judg
ment will have to be exercised. We
believe the chairman of the State Con
vention appoints the chairman of the
Committee, and to secure a good Man
for the latter position, the former must
first be attended to. For our part, we
are disposed to trust this matter to the
hands of the Convention, believing
that it will see the necessity that will
making trifling with our present flat
tering prospects for victory next fall,
criminal in the extreme.

Fifty Year• of Peace
"onie of the newspapers think that
tie the French chit war shall
exhaust itself, a new era of peace will
dawn hir Europe, which country, on
Jar the kindly domination of Germany
will riot lie likely to be again disturbed
bt war for at least fifty years. The
lihoe boundary, which has so long
been the bane of France, found its so
lution at Sedan, where thousands of
grates are witnesses of the
tact The treat‘ of London has post
pored for an indefinite number of
years whatever designs Russia may
have had upon the -sick of the
Ea•t Ausiria aml holy desire to be
let M 0.., h. 1/1111, out (heir own desii
try, find the smaller powers are not
able, even it they were willing, to dis
turb the peace. France, conquered by
Prussia, and now torn and rent by
coil war, will require many years to
regain her former status, and will not
be again anxious to take tip the sword.
England has all much as she can do to
manage her own affairs, and is, of all
the European nations, probably the
most anxious for the peace of the con
(intent. So that all thin' conspire to
gether for a prosperous and happy
period of peace. All that now seems
to be wanting to inaugurate it, is the
close of the civil war in France, which
certainly cannot last much longer.
The armies of the government are
gradually but surely pushing the in
surgents to the wall, and they must, of
necessity, ere long succumb. Then
will begin this prophesied era of peace
and harmony.
[(such should be the case, then
even the rivers of blood that have been.
caused to flow by the French and Ger
man war, will not have been shed in
vain. If the gory stream has washed
away, the vexed fires of diplomacy,
over which these nations have been
boiling and seething for nearly a cen
tury, and secured thehtranquility of the
people for fißy years or more, then,
dearly as this peace has been pur
chased, it is more than worth the
price, We hope these newspaper pre
dictions may come true, and that all
over the continent, lately and yet the
scene of so much strife and bloodshed,
sweet peace may spread her wings of
love and joy.
But propheiw sometimes, in these
latter days, cry Peace! Peace I and
there is no peace. So it may be here.
There are many questions yet unsettled
that may give rise to war. While
hopeful, we are farefrom sanguine that
the long-looked for but ever delayed
era peace of has conic.
Connecticut
The 'action of the Radical Legisla
ture, says the Lancaster Inicliigeacer,
in defeating the will of the people, and
declaring Jewell thwernor, is one of
the most daring abuses of power yet
perpetrated outside of Washington.
The purpose to commit this fraud and
to consummate the result was clearly
foreshadowed from the hour in which
the returns elected English. The only
imestiou was, how could it by m'cum
'dished'? First, it wan prop...ed to give
.lenell notes in ('heshire, which had
been rejected. As that plan would
not cork, then theexpedient of reopen
ing the bones tz•the Fourth Ward of
New Ilanen was adopted And when
wt was found that the ballots gave Jew•
ell RX) less than was returned,by coun
tug two packages of 50 each as lOtt
each, they tell upon the desperate re
source of going out on the highways
and gathering in enough swift witness
es to swear they had voted the 'Rauhn
cal ticket'—not for Jewell, but the
ticket.
Although,even with this hard swear
ing, the number of WO was not made
out, still the Radical candidate was
elected by the Radical Legislature,
ju , t as nieinl.eN of Congres4 have been
elected bw the Radical !louse of Rep
resentatives, while they were in a mi
nority at home of many thousands
It 1, worthy of note, that in the pre
tended lIIN etzligations, no lietocratic
witnesses were e‘ainined or were al•
limed any part in the proceedings. It
aas all expel, te, and against the ron
stitution and laws of the State, which
provide the formal mode of declaring
and contesting elections. The whole
course of the majority, from the be
ginning to the end of this businemm,has
been revolutionary, and, in that re
apect, consistent with the conduct of
the Radical party here and every where.
They determined to get possestoon of
the Governorship, by any fraud, how
ever bold, and any violence, however
e‘treme This scandalous outrage has
already produced a great re action in
popular sentiment.

The Comet's Tail.
MEssas. Eniroam : By the Common
school law of Pennsylvania, teachers
are allowed two Saturdays of each
month to hold institutes. During the
day, at these gatheringr,^the exercises
generally consist of class drills; and
the night H 05810119 are devoted to dis
cussions, lectures, Sc. At one of these
meetings, held near Mill Hall, Mr. B.
was selected to deliver a lecture, and
choose for his subject astrouony.'Mr.
It. was a very stylHh man, and on the
present occasion, was dressed a la
Bean 'trammel, with jewels that glit
tered as though endeavoring to vie
with the twinkling of the stars, which
the lecturer described as sparkling in
all parts of the tirmanent. After de
scribing the celestial bodies, their mag
moies, motions, distances, and all
their various phenomena in most
grandiloquent et . ile, he flew off to the
cornet, which Ire explained to the won
der and gratification of the enraptured
audience. To explain the eccentric
course of the comet, our hero walked
several (mines around a table, each
time describing a different orbit of ir
regular form. (Inc lady, who was a
particular admirer of Mr. It. and for
whom he had a decided preference,was,
so entranced with the eloquent lecture,
that she rose from her seat and watch.
ed Mr. It. in his revolutions around the
table with the most absorbing interest.
Just as he had completed one of his
grand orbit-making revolutions, arid
was about starting out on another ec
cehtric tour, the aforementioned lady,
being so enraptured that she fancied
B. was himself the cornet, exclaimed'
in language loud enough to be heard
in all parts of the room, 'I would like
to see that comet 'e tail 14 Amid the
general giggle from all parts of the
house, the cornet immediately became
invisible, and the lady wondered what
they were laughing at. No one could
I tell. Of course not.

The proceedings were dull, dreary,
dry, devoid of interest, enthusiasm

as one would expect from a body of

them as n hungry hound of the hand

A correspondent of the New York
Run gives a detailed account of the
doings at the Academy at West Point,
and concludes with the following alert
ling announcement:
"Discipline has become relaxed at
West Point, and President Grant is
responsible for it, for first obtaining
the appointment of an inefficient Su
perintendent, and next for persisting in
keeping him there to the disgust of all
good army officers and the great injury
of an honored institution. The fact
that the son of the President of the
United States was a cadet, and was
constantly receiving black marks for
disobedience of orders, is sufficient rea
son why that cadet of all others should
have been promptly punished to the
full extent of the regulations. Instead
of pursuing such a course, the Super
intendent protected him,-and his fath
er, having supreme power, protected
the Superintendent. Ilad young•(irant
he'en the son of obscure parentage, in
stead of being a scion of republicir
loyalty, his career nt the MilitAry
Academy would have terminated long
shire.
It is safe to say that but for
THE PRESIDENT ' S tINRITLY SON,
the license which has been Olio, vil to
prevail nt the Academy would not
have existed. Thq President, urged
by leading military men, has recently
been induced to make a change of Su
perintendents. To blind the eyes of
the dear public, announcement was
sent to the country ten days ago,
through the press, that Col. Pitcher is
relieved from duty as Superintendent
of the Military Academy at West
Point, and that (leer. linger will suc
ceed him. The same dear public no
doubt thinks Pitcher is out and linger
is in. Such is not the tact. The or
der dues not take effect until (lie first
day of next September. This i.e to
enable Cadet Grant to be graduated
and receive his diploma, as under 110
other Superintendent but Pitcher, who
is one of firanee pets, could such a
cadet have been retained at the Aca
demy as long as lie has.

the army was authorized by a special
act of Congress, requiring that all su

of service. Grant recollecting that
Buchanan in the performance of his
duty, years before the rebellion, was
the cause of shoving hini ((Irani.) from

The construction of a new Railroad
from Danville to Tyrone through Bur.
falo Valley will mark a new era in the
history of linnet county The mag
nitude and importance of the enter
prise cannot lie too deeply impressed
uptin her citizens and we must be in
dulged for frequent allusion and anx
ious solicitude the Telegraph manifests
in its behalf. We feel we cannot de
vote too much time or space to throw
light upon and waken interest in the
near results which will follow, by a
proper appreciation of the benefits
with which it is fraught. This rail
road is destined to be the great through
line for freight and travel from Chicago
and St. Louis to New York. A glance
at the 11111.1/11 will demonstrate the fact
that we he on an air line and lime is
the arbiter that determines the ques
tion. The shortest fine must pass
through our valley and the present
ruggles between railroad K rigs,
clearly point to the result which we
reilict for the Lewisburg, Ceti
tre and Tyrone Railroad. The Penna.
Central Company is the greatcHt cor
poration in the world. Its aim is Mall
ileHtly to grapple and possess the grand
trunk lines of Railroad in this country
and through their operations Union
