NEWSPAPERS of a prophetic turn
of mind are predicting that not a sin
gle "salary-grabber" will be return
ed to Congress. It would be an in
sult to the good sense of the people
to prophesy anything else.
TUE Washington Star remarks
that Chief Justice Chase was the tot
of his line; that neither be h
nor his
hrothers—who all died before im—
left any male descendants, and that,
therefore. his branch of the family
name will become extinct. We be
lieve the sane may be said of his two
illustriqus predecessors, Judges Ta
ney and Marshall, and this makes of
the matter a curious coincidence.
Nt•MBEE of postal cards bear
ing obscene matter having been sent
to the Postoffice Department from
different points, the Postmaster Gen
eral desires it to be generally known
that, under the laws of the United
States, the writers of such ;nattier on
i)ostal cards are subject to fine of not
less than $lOO nor more than 55.000
for each and every offence.
(Mile editors met at Colum
bus last week and among other reso
lutions adopted were the following.
Resolved, That this meeting of editors
in convention assembled, request our
Representatives and Senators in Con
gress to favor and support an amend
ment to the present postal law, gradua
ting the rates ornewspapers postage, as
in their judgment may, be equitable in
its operation on the newspaper press,
namely: A rate within the county
where the newspaper is published; a
rate within the Congressional district,
and outside of the county where the pa
per Is published; a rate within the State,
and outside of the county where the pa
per is published; and a rate outside of
the State where published. And also to
amend the postal laws so as to prevent
the evasion of postage on newspapers by
means of express carriages.
Resolved, That the . members of this
Convention request the concurrence of
the editors and publishers of the several
Mates in securing the adoption of such a
measure as we have proposed in the
liboVe resolution.
THE Itepubijmn county conven

at 10 a. m., and was organized by
the election of Dr. W C. Shurlock .
of Darlington as chairman, and F
Miner and James H. Trimbieas sec
retaries. The returns from the dif
ferent townships being opened, read
and footed up, showed lion. S. J
Cross was ( nominated for the Legisla

The tic Let is a fair one and we pre-

give it in detail next week.

Tut: demand for postal mrds is far
in excess of the supply. Everybody
wants them but scarcely anybody
can get them. Thousands of the
country postoffices have hardly yet
had a sight of them, and the large city
ace+ can only manage to dole out a
very few at a time to those who call
for therti. A correspondent from
IVashington says that general dis
satisfaction exists there touching the
manufacture and delivery of these
rants, and that chagrin is the word
that sits on the mouth of the Post
toaster General just now, and the
Third Assistant Postmaster General
shares the deep-seated feeling of his
superior. It appears that sharply
toned letters are daily received from
Postmasters anti from Congressmen,
expti 7 ssing considerable annoyance
on account of failure to supply the
requisite number of postal cards.
The facts are within easy reach.
Early last spring the Postmaster-Gen
eral, as per advertisement, made a
contract for furnishing postal cards.
There were a number of bidders, and
the con tract was awarded to a Mas
sachusetts firm by virtue of the low
eat terms, It was stipulated in the
contract that on the first of May
there should he 4,000,000 cards In the
hands of the contractor ready for de
livery, and that a like quantity
should thereafter be kept constantly
on hand. In 'addition to this, the
contract directed that the contractor
should furnish daily any quantity
desired by the Postmaster General.
This provision was intended to make
certain that the ability to supply
should never be less than the proba•
hie demand. Let us see how the eon
tract has been complied with.
• On the first cif May the contractor
had no cards on hand, and up to
this day has made only one delivery,
when he should have made eighteen.
The public have complained, and are
met by the notice posted in the vari
ous °tikes that postal cards cannot be
furnished for ten days. The demand
has been tremendous, but even the
.Postmaster General acknowledges
that it is no larger than he expected.
Some say the contractor has taken
the job at too low a price, but that
should not vitiate the force of the
contract- There is a great deal of
complaint made here, and no little
abuse of the contracting authorities
has resulted. The quality of thecard
is about as poor as they can conve
niently get it. No doubt the con
tractor will be around at the end of
the Unarter, with apologetic letters
from Congressmen who wantre-elec
tion through contract Influence and
drafts for pay. If it was a postage
' stamp,-and one , of our New York
hank note companies should give ten
stampsa day less than required there
would be trouble in the mosaic halls
of the .Postoffice Department. But
here was an idea that was adopted
by the immediate few who rule, and
it is probable that any amount of
nonsense will be endured for what,
in a party sense, may be termed
- riglueousnie sake." It is rumor
ed that the Postmaster General has
written curt letters to the contractor,
stating that unless he can carry out
his contract, be need not send in bis
bill. On the whole, matters seem
Ilecidedly mixed with quith unenvi
able situations on either side.

almost the first thing the delegates

HERS AND MERE.
—Man proposes. Fifteen years
ago, it is said, a Kentucky loan
bought a coma for himself, consider
ing it a handy thing to have in the
house. Last week, he was totally
consumed in a lime-kiln, and the cot%
tin is a dead IoR3, with the interest
on the original cost included.
—A. 'somnambulist In Haverhill
Mass., gets up and does the week's
washing, returning to bed by 3 a. in. ;
but last Tuesday he rather over did
the businesss by washing again the
cloths which he had washed on Mon
day, so that his wife, finding him too
useful by half, has taken precaution
to check his propensity.
—A divorce case in Bt. Louis the
other day took a very singular 'and
mysterious turn. The respondent,
Mrs. Hill, testified that it had been
agreed by herself and the plaintiff
that if they did get a divorce they
would marry again. We shouldn't
suppose that judge or jury would
! have much difficulty in disposing of
such a case as that; but the ways of
married people are really past find
ing out.
—Lord Derby—and with him
many another Englishman--deciares
that the virtue of thrift is one that
does not take root in the minds of
his countrymen as it does in those of
men of some other countries. The
Irish. French, and Scotch save rath-
er than make money, while in En
gland, as the English themselves as
sert, "hard come, easy go" is the
rule, One• of their editors observes
that the American§ are "as little
given to saving as We are." To in
troduce a saving tendency in the lit
tle isle a society has been organized
to establish penny banks in every
place of business where many men
are employed.
—A Louisville lawyer lately met
• I
with a singular mishap. Ills wife
wanted waste paper for the mauu
factureof a certain article of her dress,
which may or may not pc properly
called by us a hustle. Newspapers
being scarce in that house. Mrs. At
torner seized upon certain impor
tant legal documents which she
found in her husband's office, and
with them constructed the desired
appendage. The case in which these
papers were to be used mme on for
trial, but in consequence of Madam's
little theft they couldn't try it a bit.
An inquiry was instituted—in short
gentu (-wpm COLllrsKeti, restored
the depositions and so forth, and we
suppose took such a lecture on grand
larceny from her husband as she
never before had in her life.
—We wonder if the next genera
tion of old ladies in country villages
will have as great a horor of debt as
those whose homes will soon know 111
'hem no more. It is a peculiar trait
of the average American old lady
which it would be well to perpetrate.
A goof many young people who re
member their grandmothers must
remember their scrupulous exactness
of payment. the actual and fussy ter
or with which they regarded a long
unpaid bill. We are reminded of
this peculiarity by a floating para
graph chronicling an ancient dame of
New England, aged 5.3, who lately
walked ten miles for the purpose of
meetieg an appointment for the pay
ment of a bill of ten cents at a dry
goods shop. It is easy to picture the
good old lady with her ''buskins"
precisely tied in a double knot, her
beaming spectacles, and her "amble
refl." May her decendants inherit
her virtues as they will the buskins,
the spectacles, and the umbarell.
--A story to smile at is this which
comes from Indianapolis: There is
an actor there of such beautiful pro
portions that he is known as the
Apollo 1121vidcre. Ev.hibiting his
exquisite limbs in the streets the
other day, he was avackel by a ter
rier upon whose toil he had stepped,
and bitten in the calf. He walked
on easily, and did not know that he
was nipped until somebody told
him. Did blood flow from the
wound? Not a drop! What did
now? Sawdust! A thin stream ofit
from the mangled rotundity of the
leg! The fact was stated as a bit of
interesting news in the local
newspaper, and Apollo undertook to
chastise the editor. But what can
even an Apollo with sawdust calves
doin a rough and tumble fight? He
was ignominiously kicked out of the
sanctum. Sic sentper to all who des
ecrateit by violence, whether their
eaves be of sawdust or of genuine
muscle !
—We read in The 11ot Springs
(Ark.) (burlier a story of vendetta
which might have come from Cor
sim• About one year ago a trouble
arse between the tribes of 'W ember
ly and Flynn about a horse race. a
began with the whipping of a Flynn
by a Wimberly: Then two of the
Flynn, father and son, shot at Wim
berly, who returned the fire and kill
ed both of them. Then Blackwell,
son-In-law of Flynn senior, took out
letters of administration on his fath
er-in-law's estate, and the Flynns be
ing opposed to his selling the prop
erty, shot him. The Flynns were
then arrested, and one of them im
sprisonecl, while the other proved an
alibi, but was shot as be was coming
out of the Court-house. The im
prisoned Flynn broke jail last Christ
mas, and has been making trips back
and forth to the Indian nation. On
Saturday he was heard of in the old
neighborhood, and a warrant was is
sued for his arrest. The party in
search of him encountered him on a
Sunday morning. He made fight
and was shot through the head. He,
was the last of the Flynns; nor
should we think that anybody in
that vicinage would be sorry.

DECOffitirtali DAY.
Quite a large utittlber of people
gathered in Beneet, on last Friday,
to aid or ' ,f itness the ' strewing of
flowers ov ' the graves 'of the sol
diers who A ave been burled iu the two
eemeteriA near this place. At one p.
m. the eneu assembled in the Pres-
byteriso. church, and the exercises of
the occasion were commencei with sing
ing and prayer, after which John J.
Wiekharn, esq., delivered an address of
which the followiag is a condensed re-
port
LADIES AND GENTLE:Ims. —The fry,
grant and beautiful offerings, which we
to-day strew upon the last resting places
of our heroic dead, speak more -elo
quently than can tongue or pen of our
deep and heartfelt remembrance of their
self-sacrificing patriotism; and were it
not customary to add the tribute of
words to these expressive token flowers
—so emblematical of life, so suggestive
of death—l should bare considered It.
* duty to decline theinvitation to ad
dress you, tendered by the gentleman in
charge of the ceremonies.
Let us briefly consider the nature of
the feelings and motives which have
prompted es to forego, for the time, our
ordinary avocations, and assemble to
gether regardless of age, or sex, or creed,
or party, to engage in the pleasant yet
mournful occupation of decorating the
graves of our fellow citizens ..who fell in
the late great civil war. fs it because
the ties of blood or friendship bound us
more closely to these dead men than to
others of our friends and kindred, who
likewise have gone down to the chain
hers of death, that we thus distinguish
them ? • Nay, this cannot be so, for we
,place our garlands, not only, on the'
tombs of those we knew and loved while
living, but as well on every mound
that is marked as the place where a sol
dier, though a stranger and unknown, i s
sepulchered. Do we come together then
to publicly deplore the untimely death
of so many brave men, most of them in
the earliest flush of manhood, and none
past the prime of Moir mental mid phys
ical vigor? Not so, 'good friends; fur
*[though the feeling °Darrow, natural
ly aroused by such a consideration, fi,nds
its proper place in our bosoms, it alone
would never have brought us here.
Death, we know, stay s not to count the
years of his victims, but claims both old
and young, and the brooding wings of
peace afford them no protection. And
to him who thinks aright—who attempts
to compare the infinitely brief period of
duration covered by any mortal exiat•
ence with the long ages of time, or the
countless cycles of eternity, no life can
seem long and no death premature.
Are we here then to lament the man
ner in which these men died, or to
mourn because, to so many of them.,
death came, like the lightning stroke,
without aught of warning or premoni
tion t I trow net; for as the poet says:
'There are .SOTIC ways of Oleg than failing on

death's brief ri n g
obser
vation teaches us, that howsoever or
wheresoever men perish, whether in
the ways we call natural, in the battle's
wild din, or on he ocean's storm toased
bosom, death is rarely an expected
visitor. We learn to regard the mani
fold ills, and diseases, and sufferings,
that attend humanity, rather as the
necessary incidents of life, than as the

are the
pitiless, mid no one knows when or how
he shall be summoned from his place
among men. But perhaps some one
listening to these words may answer,
"we are here to show our admiration
for the fortitude and courage exhibited
by our soldiers on the field of battle."
l'Ourage is, without doubt, iu itself a
grand quality, and we cannot woudor,
that it has, in all ages, and among all
natioua, commanded universal respect ;
but, in our day, It is not deemed worthy
ofany very special or extraordinary
commendation unless consecrated tit'
!noble aims and purposes. War, which'

titlabie under very peculiar circutn-
Stances. It can hardly be, therefore,
that the simple quality of bravery, to
whatever extent possessed and exhibited
by the dead warriors, could evoke suet
an ovation as this. Ah, my friends, this
outpouring has a higher import, a deep
er mad no aittnifieance than any r
of gratitude is neither dead nor slum
bering in our bosoms;—to testify. that,
deep down in our hearts., we guard,
with jealous care, a reverence for patri
otic daring—a lofty appreciation of the
' beauty and the glory of self sacrifice.
iWe meet, not to celebrate or enro
-1 inemorate battles fought or victorlea
'won, and least of all to aid in keeping
alive sectional hate and bitterness, but
to honor the memory of the men, who
leaving the homes they gladdened,the fa.
iniliar scenes of their birth, and the
' pleasant fields where their boyhood's
o footsteps strayed, went torth to defend
their country in the hour of her dan
ger and humiliation, and cheerful
ly yielded up their lives to secure her
salvation, Many of them tell in actual
combat, some came back to their homes
; and friends maimed and dying, others
returned bearing within them the seeds
of Weill-M.le disease which in the end
proved as fatal as bayonet or ball. Some
achieved rank and station in the nation's
armies, others, perhaps equally deserv
ing, equally capable, equally fearless
and conscientious in the discharge of
duty, heard no summons to "come up
higher" until the angel of death called
them to partake of that reward, which,
we are taught to hope, awaits the true
soul hereafter. And to these latter, we
fain would think, eternity will prove a
better paymaster than time has been,
for else indeed eternal justice might
well be doubted. Rut to-day we inquire
not what place or position any one of
these men whose tombs we decorate,
held in the country's service. The pet
t y gradations of rank aro ignored or for
gotten; the grave knows no distinction;
officer and private lie side by side,
their dust commingling with its kin
dred dust. Enough for us, that each
has given the Spat tan proof of patriotic
devotion; enongh for us, that each little
I mound marks the resting place of a
soldier, whose life was offered as a will
leg sacrifice on the altar of nat i ona l
unity.
l Although this is a lit time awl place
for the purpose, I will not detain you
with eulogies upon the character or ser
vices of the heroic, men, living and dead,
whose valor aad self sacrifice saved our
c inutry from disruption. Their just
praises have been so often and ably ex
pressed by more eloquent tongues than
mine, that whatever I might utter on the
subject would seem trite and common
place. Perhaps, however, I might here"
hazard the remark, that we are some
times too apt to glorify the leaders of
our armies at the expense of the private
soldiery. I opine, that when the true
history of the war cornea to be written,
it will be seen that more battles were
won by sheer hard lighting than by
strategy or tactics. Aud this may be
said without derogating from the just
praise of our generals. Sherman, push
ing his invincible columns through
Georgia to theses; Thomas, wise in all
his plans, and in their execution as in
evitable as fate itself; Seridan, sweeping
with his legions upthe Shenandoah vat
ley,and stamping with his charger's iron
hoof on the plastic tablets of the times
the record of his fame; Grant, persistent
and irresistible, these, and others of
equal or less celebrity, well deserve the
admiration they receive from the present
age, and the reverence which will be
awarded them by future generations.
But we lOWst not reserve for occasions
like the present, the just consideration
due to the men who bore the haversack
and musket. We must not, in our ev
ery day thoughts and conversations, too
far subordinate the men who, without
prospect of glory or profit to stimulate
them in the long midnight watches,
walked their death flanked beats on the
frazen Potomac; the men who, beneath
the bur.len of their • heavy equipments,
tramped, with patient hearts and weary
feet,over Virginia's inhospitable soil,ever

unite the reflection, that all this kindness
and care are but in repayment of a debt
the country owes their Gathers
/t is fitting, that, on an occasion like the
present, we should consider how the pa
triotic spirit, which actuated these 'wok:
men, tray b es t be cuttivated and perpet
uated. That our comdry will ever again
be called upon to pass through an intes
tine struggle similar lu magnitude and
- . -
character to the one we have so recently
witnessed is hardly probable; neverthe•
lass the need of unselfish patriotism will
be even Fruiter in the future than here.
Wore. the corruption too prevalent in
high places, the cunning and midge-snub
of demsgogueism, the rapid increase and
spread of our population, the diversities
of business interests, not to mantles po
litical differences, all conspire against the
perpetuity of our government. It is true
there are material influences working in
our behalf, The multiplication Of rail
roads, telegraphs, and mail facilities, by
bringing the people into. - more intimate
contact, will do much to reconcile con
flicting interests, opinions and social
its. Intercommunication is indeed a most
potent harmonizer of the passions and the
varied interests of men. Every railroad
laid sown, every telegraph line erected. or
postal route established, adds another
bond to to the many which unite us tut
nation, and furnishes another illustration
of the advantages of union. Besides this,
the very practical spirit of our people, co
' abling them, as it does, to perceive and
appreciate the substantial blessing of a .
stable government, gives thrther AMU'
tattle of peace and unity. But after all,
the only sure guarantee of the continued
success of our republican institutions is to
be found in the intelligence and virtue of
our citizens. Whstever, therefore, tends
to develops and promote these qualities,
directly tends to beget and nourish patri
otism; not that false kind embodied in the
maxim, "Our country, right or wrong,"
but that true and enlightened patriotism,
which consists in a clear perceptinn of
our duty to out country, coupled with an
ever present desire and intention to per
form it. The distinguished Judge Story,
in one of his lofty and justly admired
flights of eloquence, recommended the
fathers and mothers of the Republic to
swear their children at the alter, "as with
their baptismal vows, to be true to their
country, and never to forget or forsake
her." A beantilul thought truly, but it
. is not by this, or any like sentimental
Imethod, that patriotism is best nurtured,
—that patriots are made. Patriotism Ise
plant which grows naturally to a kindly.
sel, and which twn by no forcing proem
be made to take • root in any other. The
heart and the mind must be cultivated;
the youth of, the land must be not only
taught the learning of the schools, but as
well Imbued with those principles of
thought and action which lead men to re
spect their own and their neighbors'
rights, and keep them in the old fashlon•
ed paths of honesty, rectitude and honor;
having this knowledge and training, they
cannot well be false to themselves or their
country. And in seeking to accomplish
these ends. let us he careful to adopt that
method of teaching which above all oth
ers can give manliness and elevation of
character, to inculcate a love of truth be•
cause it is truth, of right because It is
right. Better than respect for traditions,
better than fear of nett, better than hope's
of heaven, is the motive of him who pur
sues the right for right's own sake. This
alone can lift man above the plane of self,
aml make his life sublime.
It would seem to be a common itn
pression, that the patriotism of a people
can, with some certainty ho measured
by the degree of their admiration for
their dead heroes and past achievements.
Never was there a greater mistake, or
one evidencing a less knowledge of
human nature. While it is true, that
no people can be really patriotic with
out at the same respecting and admiring
all that may be groat or good in their
past experience, the history of the world
furnishes numerous instances of nations,
which had elevated their departed '
worthies to the position of demigods,
and their performances to something
more than mortal, possessing but the
more semblance and trappings of
genuine patriotism. Greece, lu her
most degenerate days, looked back with
the greatest pride to Therinopyhe and
Marathan. France never held the
memory of the first Napoleon more
sacred, or gloried more in his victoriea,
, than when, demoralized and poisoned
by nil unwholsome influences, she was
ready to fall before the German arms.
So true it is, that men are most prone
to admire what they least can imitate.
Let us not then, in a spirit of self mita
, tion, measure our love for country, and
the extent ofour willingness to do and,
If needs be, die for her, by our readiness
to honor her departed heroes. Rather
let us, as we reverntly place these flow
ers upon their graves, and revive our
memories orttieir virtues, resolve, that
we will, with the help of the eternal
Ruler of all things, perform our parts as
worthily In peace, as they performed
thcise essential cintiiities Tian - Wbreb - ttlie
patriotism springs, and which are as
necessary to its existence as are dew, and
rain, and air and aonlight to the life of a
flower or tree. Were the men and
women who to-day, throughout the
length and breadth of the land, are en-
I gaeagd, .ed like otirselv in honoring their
dto record such es
in
a resolution their
hearts, and renew it,wlth each recurring
year, long would our country retain her
pristine vigor, long, remain as now a
queen among the nations—a queen
although uncrowned.
God grant, that whenever danger,
from within or without may again me
nace her, she may not lack defenders
to take the places of those we mourn.

The soldiers' orphans, from the Phil
lipsburg school being present, were in
vited to sing a patriotic song, and after
doing so a procession was formed, and
all marched to the cemeteries and visi
ted the graves of those who were killed
in the army or who have died since the
war was over. The orphans above re
ferred to were designated to Strew flow
ers over the different graves, a duty
which they performed as reverently as
though the sleeper beneath the sod bail
been bone of their bone and flesh of
their flesh. After all the graves had
been visited, Rev. Mr. Lynch delivered
a short but very feeling address, at the
conclusion of which the people sepa
rated and retired to their homes.

ment ; that it might affect unfavora
bly the money market and depress
the price of the stock by forcing an
undue amount of allotments and
shares in the hands of weak holders
on the, market. The result has shown
that the fears from both the causes
named were groundless. The bulk
of the payments were made ou an
unusually easy money market, and
in evidence that the 50 per cent. re
quired was not too large a percent
age, it is ascertained that over twelve
millions of dollars have been sub
scribed for and paid in, or about 70
per cent. of the entire amount called.
Agratifying fact in this connection,
and one showing the confidence of
the public in the credit company,
the stock has advanced fully one per
cent.
—A gentleman of an ingenious
turn sends to a San Francisco news
paper his plan for exterminating the
Modocs. It is to construct a kite ca
pable of carrying a weight of ten
pounds. From the tall end of this
he proposes to suspend scan of nitro
glycerine with an arrangement for
its ready detachment. When the
kite is over the proper spot in the
Lava Beds, the detaching string is to
be pulled, and the havoc following
the fall and explosion of the box,
will be awful. Another plan is to
drop the nitro-glycerine from a bat
loon. The project comes rather late,
but nobody can tell what other In
dianlwars may be awaiting us.

BUIlinaLL, Pa., May 21.—For
two years pad a young %tin, named
A. J. Wells, has acted the general
agent of the Wheeler & INilson
Sewing Machine Company for the
counties of Pike and Monroe. He
sold a large number of machines,
and was looked upon as a very
prosperous man. A letter received
here stetes that he was found a few
days ago in one of the back towns of
Monroe county. with his throat cut
from ear to ear. Information re
ceived from the company by which
el l
he was en3ploy throws some light
on the subject. t seems that Wells
had made no ret rns to the company
of money collect on machines, and
' was being pressed for a settlement.
As he could not make good his de
falcations, he cut his throat. He
was about twenty-eight years old,
and greatly respected.
Jonathan Wonsitler, a well-known
citizen of Blida?, county, and at one
time in good !circumstances, was
found hanging by the neck froin a
tree in the woods a day or two ago.
For two years he bad been in em
barrassed circumstances, having
been forced into bankruptcy in 1871.
This doubtless was the cause of his
suicide. He leaves a large and high
ly respectable family.
Stanley Booz, of Bristol, swallow
ed a large doseof laudanum the other
night. He was found by his brother
dead in bed. No reason can be
assigned for the act.
In the town of Big Flats, on Mon-
day morning, Jonas McElroy, a re
spected young farmer, 'put an endio
his life in a strange manner. He
went Into his wagon-house and got
upon wagon.- - Takings small rope,
he fastened one end of It about his
neck. The other end he fastened to
a joist. He then jumped from his
wagon. When found his feet almost
touched the Boor. He was a most
exemplary citizen, in good circum
stances, and In excellent health. He
was unmarried. He was thirty,
seven years old.
Henry Whitney, a bachelor, living
with his brother in the town of
Hume, Alleghony eourity, hung
himself on Friday. He owned the
farm on which his brother lived.
On the day stated he was in the field
ploughing. In the evening, after
quitting work, ho went into the
house and commenced playing with
the children, with whom he was a
great favorite. Shortly afterwards
he went toward the barn, followed
by the children. He sent them back
to the bouse. :His brother found
him hanging by his neck from a
beam. He was about fifty years of
age.
Theron Cole, a farmer, living in
the town of Bradford, Steuhen mum
ty, on Saturday found the body of an
unknown man in one of his fields.
It must have been lying there seine
tune, as it was in an advanced state
of decomposition. Whether he was
a suicide, or what was the cause of
his death, is not known.
Instructed Delegates.
The Harrisburg .Stale Journal, a
er copying and indorsing a recent ar
title in this journal, on the necessity
of reforming our State politics by
sending rings and combinations to
the rear, suggests this remedy:'
"The only safe course for the mas
ses of the Republican, Is not to send
a delegate to any convention without
having first instructed him. No
delegate should be sent to to the
State Convention without clear and
emphatic instructionhere this
is not done, the peoplelhus repre
seated
are always sold out, and their
delegates become the mere catspaws
of corrupt men who seek the control
of the patronage of all parties for the
sole and only purpose of putting
money into their pockets. It has
—1...3-....4...hu m ta azthipm a stench In
if not corrected, wm,eventuany de
stroy the Republican organization."
One of the misted/wager our times
is that the delegates are instructed.
notaby the people In Genventlon, but
by the managing rings that pack
Conventions and dictate who shall
represent the party. The mass of
delegate' to the August Convention
will be chosen before the duties of
that Convention are well defined or
take poss e ssion of the public mind.
We all know there is to ben Conven •
tion, but it is far off, and when the
people awake to a full realization of
its important duties they will find
that in the interval, without discus
sion either as to candidates or policy,
a majority of the delegates have been
quietly "set up" in the interest of ,
the ring. That was the way in this 1 ,
county. The first week in May del
egates
were selected from Allegheny
county to a State Convention, to
meet the middle of August—an in
terval of three and a half months.'
When our delegates were chosen the
time of holding the State Convention
had not even been announced, al
though it was probably known to
the managers. The County Conven
tion that selected them attracted no
interest in its composition, and it is
generally believed the list of its
members was made out In advance,
and that the programme of their du
ties was carefully pre-arranged in its
most minute details. The Conven
tion, so far as it was a representative
body, could as well have been held
last Christmas. When OUT people
awake to the importance of the State
convention, they will find them
selves forestalled—the delegates set
up, and, as our Harrisburg cotempo
rary suggests, "instructed." but not
by the Itepublimn party. It is to
this shrewdness of the ring, in taking
advantage of the natural indifference
of the peoWe to engaging in political
controversy months before there is
any necessity for it, that they owe
their controlling influence in the
councils of the party. But we have
strong hopes that some of these set
up delegations, from different coun
ties, will appreciate the demand fur a
reform in party management, and
will gather their instructions from
the popular sentiment, as it shows
itself next August, rather than take
them cut and dried from the *lre
pullers, who mark out their political
charts six months ahead, in a Phila ; -
delphia hotel, over champagne and
terrapin.—Evening Telegraph.
TILE LATENT SENSATION.
Col. Tom. neon and the !Marquis of
Bute to Wound an Empire In /Mexico.
Wife:Et the Chlen° inter-Omn
What should we do without a sen
sation occasionally? It is now re
potted that a movement is on foot,
headed by no less and no greater a
Personage than Colonel Thomos A.
Scott, the railway king, to found a
magnificient empire in the north and
east of Mexico. The Colonel is re
ported to have associated with him
the Marquis of Bute, and to be en
gaged In negotiations with the Mex
ican government for the cession or
lease of a number of the Mexican
States. What if he has got tired of
railroading, and desires to play em
peror of grand duke, or sotnething
of that kind, for a while, let him buy
up the lava beds and establish him
self in a more congenial climate,
The New York Sun says Going is in
the scheme (it would be exceedingly
difficult for the Sun to think of any
thing, however preposterous, with
out having Grant in it), and that the
McKenzie raid was planned a long
time ago, and intended as "a sort of
feeler regarding annexation." But
what does Colonel Scott want with a
"magnificient empire" annexed to
the United States? He might as
well be on his farm in Pennsylvania,
if he has one, as to be the proprietor
of an empire In the South which was
annexed to this cotintry, and filled
with Mexican greasers and Kickapoo
Indians. The Sun's story lacks con
sistency—which is entirely unneces
sary it being just aseasy to get a rea
sonable story, while you are about It
WI one utterly incredible.
CAPTAIN JACK
The Modoe Murderer s
toned Satireer Sentaelly
[From the Frankfort Yeoman.]
It is at this time currently repdrted
in this community, and by many
believed, that Capt. Jack, .the cele
brated Modoc Chief, is a son of Capt.
Jack Chambers, a native and former
ly.a well known citizen of the west
ern part of this county. In support
of this belief, the following facts are
given: About the year 1845-6 a
party of , emigrants, made up of
citizens of Franklin county and
Other parts of Kentucky, went to
California on a fortune-seeking ex
pedition. With this party went
Capt. Jack Chambers, a bold daring
man, who, though a full-blooded
white man, possessed many of the
characteristics. physical as well as
mantel and moral, of an Indian
brave. On reaching California, the
party gradually broke up and scat
tered, but it was well - known. and
so reported by all those who subse
quently returned to Kentucky, that
Capt. Jack C hambers fell In with
the Modoc Indians, married the
,daughter of their head chief, at
)
whose death h (Capt. Chambers)
succeeded to th chieftainship by
election, and so ntinued to the day
lof his death, only a few years ago.
It is also said that, after living with
the Modocs some years, he became
1 1 so much like the rest of the warriors
of that tribe, both in speech and
general physique, that the closest
observer never suspected that he
was other than a full-blooded Indian.
I Besides, the Captain himself favored
i the delusion; and hence it is that we
see it stated In all the sketches of
"Capt. Jack," the present Modoc
chief, that he is the fon of a full
blooded chief of that tribe. In fact,
this was the general belief of nil the
Indian traders and agents who ever
came in contact, with this tribe. At
the time of his joining the Modocs,
Capt. Jack Chambers was between.
thirty-fiveand forty years of age.
Previous to his emigration to Cali
fornia, however, he had volunteered
in the war for the independence of
Texas, where he distinguished him
self am a brave soldier and capital
officer. It is an Interesting and re
markable fact in his personal history
that he was one of a family of twenty
four children—twenty-one sons and
three daughters—all of whom grew
to maturity, most of whom are still
living, and nearly all of whom were
remarkable for physical qualities
closely resembling those of the higher
types of the American Indians.
The New Postal Evperiment.
There never was a liberalization of
the postal . laws received with more
favor than that which attends the
sale and use of the penny postal
cards. These cards will Increase the
business of the country', In the ex
changes of retail trade, millions of
dollars. and will thus indirectly lead
to the establishment of many new
enterprises of a local character.
There are many who believe it will I
be impossible for the government to'
make its receipts cover its expenses,
believing that the extra labor re
quired to handle the increased mails
will more than balance any margin
for profit by reason of the increase.
But there have been similar doubters
whenever any reduction has been
made, while the result has always
been precisely opposite to the pre
diction. Probably there can be no
cheaper postage than that of the
present postal card, and for ninny
purposes it will come into exten
sive use. It possesses many RI 1 v:lt -
tages over the ordinary one cent cir
cular which business men will nut
be slow to improve. By orders
from the Postmaster (teneral 4 the
cards are Lot to he treated as careful
ly as letters, while the ordinary cir
cular has not more attention than a
itny - ceTitma-ercetes. _ the law
the address, subjects it to letter pos
tage, so that for sending prices cur
rent or similar purposes it will be en
tirely superseded by the card, upon
which the manufacturer can have
his price list printed, which blank
spaces for giving figures as the mar
ket varies.
The card Is of sufficient size to en
able a full business notice to he prin
ted on the back, and white they are
a novelty, they will he largely used I
for advertising purposes. They will
also come into general use for the
large class of brief correspondence to I
which secrecy is immaterial, while
private alphabets will probably lead
to their extensive use by others.
The great demand for thein on the
part of the public is exhibited by
the constantly increasing orders
which the Postmaster General is re
ceiving. One postmaster who began
by ordering 10,000 for a city of mod
erate dimentions has already in
creased his order to 300,000.
While thus looking at the liberali
ty Of the postal card, we are remind
ed of a piece of petty spite-work
which goes Into NINA shortly, name
ly, the repeal of the free exchange of
newspapers through the mails, now
and always enjoyed by the newspa
per publishers who gradually and di
rectly built up our present tnagnifi
postal system. The multiplication
of newspapers increased the business
of correspondence, and created of it
self immense postal revenues. Ad
vertising required a multiplied cor
respoldence in all parts of the coun
try, and thus directly to the enter
prize and genius of the newspaper
publisher is the government Indebt
ed for the patronage which has built
up the postal system to its present
proportions, and yet at the very
time when it is enabled to liberalize
the system to the people, it indulges
In petty acts of oppression to the
sources of Its original prosperity.
The postage to he paid on the ex
change papers or publishers is the
tyranny, perpetrated in a spirit of
blind spite, and already, before it has
gone into operation, a disgrace:to the
Congress which did it. The next
Congress will repeal it.—State Jour
!
Delightfully Romuutle.
The marriage of George Marshall
and Ellen Mayfield, which oceured
nt the Grand Hotel a few days since,
was an event highly spiced with ro
mance. The couple first met in the
troublesome times of 1862., at a farm
house, on the road betU'een Harper's
Ferry and Leectiburg, when Mar
shall, as a Union soldier attached to
a New Jersey regiment, rescued the
lady from outrage at the hands of
two Confederate soldiers. After the
battle of Antietam they met again,
when Miss Mayfield, attended by
other ladies, was ministering to the
wounded upon the battlefield. In a
wounded lieutenant, who was lying
in a barn, sbe recognized her rescuer,
and procured his removal to her fa
ther's residence, in Adams county,
Pennsylvania, where she nursed him
tenderly under his recovery. Mar
shall was subsequently assigned to a
distant department, and in time, his
letters remaining unanswered, he
concluded his fair friend had con
sidered her debt of gratitude cancel
led, and abandoned him for some
older love. He came to Cahfornla
at the termination of the war, and
settled in business at San Jose, A
few days since his eye caught the
name of "Miss Ellen Mayfield"
•among the list of overland passen
gers. Elated with hope, he lost no
time in proceeding to Sacramento to
meet the train that bore the object
of bis affections and the picture of
his reveries through the lons years
of separation. The meeting was
mutual happy, and the marriage an-.
nouncement that lollowedl . .shottly,
after, tells the remainder of the story'.
The estrangement had been' caused
by the intercepting of letters by a
meddlesome person, supposed to be
interested in the breaking up of the
match.—San Francisco Bulletin.
