The Beaver Ailus. J. WELS.Inir. Enrroa. Beaver, Ps., Sept. 3, 1873. HON. RUSSELL Eußrrr, of Pitts burgh, has been re-appointed Chair- Man of the Republican State Central Committee; for the ensuing year. He has called a meeting of the Com mittee for organizatio, in the Hail of the House of Representatives, Harrisburg, on Wednesday, Septem ber 3d, at 11:30 a. m.,—[to-day.l TEIERE are a good many localities where politics are badly mixed, but Morgan county, 111., seems to be es pecially tangled in this respect. Sep arate tickets have been nominated by the Democrats, Republicans, and Farmers, and then the women have taken the field asindependent candi dates for the office of Superintendent of Schools. A PIIII,ADELPIIIA. paper. in its last issue asks, "What becomes of the sons of successful men?" To this the answer conies quick and sharp from the Norristown Herald, I.viliclisAys: "This Is one of those conundrums a boy only nineteen years old might answer without sweating This shirt collar. Of course, the sonsofeucces ful men, • if they live long enough, die and are buried, just the same as the sons of unsuccessful men." . Holcombe of that State, on the 22d inst. He was for several years Professor of Law in the University of Virginia, and hav ing become a prominent supporter of the Confederacy, was sent 113 a secret agent to Canada, where he .was Con cerned in _ the Niagara Conference. After the 'war he adopted the pro fession of teaching and for some years was principal of a high school in Vir ginia. During the "unpleasantness" lie was one of the most violent rebels in the country, but a MO of there than ordinary ability. i . I.:EAR.LY all of the State conven ,tions recently held by both political parties have denounced the salary grab law and demand its uncondi tional repeal. The Republicans of :Wisconsin are the last to express their disapproval of that iniquitous measure. At their State convention held on the 27th they utter these energetic words: Resolved, That we disapprove and con demn the recent measure by which Con gress allowed additional compenaat.ou to itself for past services, and demand that the proviaiona of the act by which Congreasioual salaries were increased shall he promptly anti unconditionally repealed. CC=I THE history of Alexander Davis, the colored man who has just re ceived the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Missis sippi, is a little curious, to say the least about it. Briefly told, he was a cook during the rebellion in one of the companies composing the Fifty fourth Tennessee rebel regiment, He served in that capacity until the war was overt became a politician and now turns up as the nominee of the dominant party in Mississipp; for the Second office within the gift of its people. ONE of the Pittsburgh papers, a few days ago, stated that Senator Graham would not take the $2,000 which the Legislature appropriated to pay his expenses to the N'ion:A exposition We hive the authority of tla • /cal now for stating that Ise. rat , ,r tan also declines his ,hare t,I the ~p-propriation propriation made for that purpose. We are heartily glad that thi.-ae gen tleman have determinects ,, on this course.' Senator Davis, the third ci)mmissloner, can do no less now than follow suit and cover hi' share into the State Treasury too. IMI=CI=I Tilt 'Lower California Company, of which Mr. Benjamin F. Butler, the Massachusetts "claimant," is President, and Mr. John A. _Logan .of Illinois, Vice-President, has a snug little, claim before the Mexican and American Commission at Washing ton for 20,000,000 acres of land in So nora under a contract with the Mex ican Government for surveys in that State. It is this kind of "profession al" business, doubtless, that Mr. Bu tler. refers to when .he compares the beggarly pittance he receives from - Government with his income from his practice. Mr. John A. Logan t&r.ems to be in prospermA circumstan ces too.—N. V. Tribunes ON the 10th of this month the Re publicans of Massachusetts make their nomination for Governor, and the impression is becoming general that Butler will be beaten in the rare. 'His opponents goaded him to wri ting a long letter in defence of the salary steal, and that letter hasehing, to him like a milt stone, dragi,;:in l i him down at every step he has ta ken, since, The people of the old Bay State,' like those of nearly all other localities, are deterthinedly op posed to that intamous measure., and take occasion to manifest their dis pleasure whenever opportunities offer. 11=13 Mt.z.mv, the Ex-guerilla chief Is kicking up something of a dust again. His raids just now, however, are of a political character. The National Republican of Washington, in refer ring lo Mosby's support of the dem ocratic candidate. - for Governor of Virginia, says: "How like a gueril la chief it was to dash into a political Party; secure a number of good po sitions for his friends, and then dash oat again. It is now stated that Mos by will give his influence to Kenipei, conservative, for Goverrior of Vir ginia. is this bushwhacker to be al lowed to do as he pleases in both po litical parties?" IT was announced a week ur ago that Senator Carpenter wc , llti in stitute proceedings in libel againq the New York Tribune, fur a rcce..t publication, in which the President pro tern of the United States Senate was charged with k'wdness and drunkenness while in New York and at Long Branch a few weeks since. The Tribune in answer, urges Mr. Carpenter to go on with his suit, and tells him if It cannot prove all it charges, it is wilting and abundantly OA to pay all the damages which a jury of his countrymen may asses. Since the Trantne has so promptly expressed a desire to go into the "sifting business," we hear'nothing more f ro m Senator Carpenter, and pfobably never will on that subject. GEN ADEIZERT A2dEl3_ll3/S been nominated for Governor of Mississip pi by the Republicans of that State. The Lientienant Governor and Secre tary of State are both colored ! Gen eral Ames is General Butter's son-in law and it is said that the two rela tivea agreed with each other a year ago to "seize" the Governorship of their respective Statespor"go . down". in the attempt. Ardes has made his point, but we hardly think it pan:4- ble for Butter to make his. The tide was unmistakably In his favor one month ago but it seems to be setting in strongly against him now. Tins extract from the speech dof the Hon. George E. Pugh, at Harnil. ton, Ohio, recently, seems to express the spirit which animates the Peo ple's party of that State : ',!.Whether we shall succeed this year or not does not trouble me. it does not make a difference of one hair's breadth whether William Allen or E: F. Noyes -is next Governor of Ohio. Nor does it make any differ ence to me whether Columbus Dela no or Allen G. Thurman is next Senator from Ohio." Tut; Democrats at their State con vention held last week at Wilks. harre, nominated Hon. James E. Ludlow of Philadelphiaas their can didate for Supreme Judge and F. M. Hutchinson esq. of Allegheny county for State Treasurer. The latter is (1-eiterni OW son-in- s law, and belongs in Allegheny county which is usu ally set down as the opponent of the Pittsburgh Post. We are hence in clined to the belief that while the Democracy may have nominated one of their strongest men for the Su preme Bench they have not been so fortunate in their candidate for State Treasurer. THE Ohio State Journal is one of the ablest Republican papers in the country, and what is better still it has nerve enough to speak Its mind when it feels like it. Here is an extract from one of its articles the other day: "while Congressmen. are being de nounced for complicity in: the back pay grab, the Chaplain of the rnited States Senate should be affectionately borne in mind. He is traveling abroad inspecting Consulates on a gold salary of eight dollars a day, and drawing meanwhile his salary of nine hundred dollars fot linagiti. - - ry services as Chaplain. if this is not a useless expenditure of public money, what is !" GOVERNOR .1300TII of California made a speech recently in San Fran cisco, in which he gave some figures which ought to startle the people of this country. He told his hearers that 24000,000—tw0 hundred and twenty . four million—acres of nubile land have been seized by the railroad and other land grabbing monopolies in this country. Of course Congress voted these lands away, and it is highly probable that the congressmen thentselves were stock holders in the corporations benefitted by the grants. They were therefore, simply voting money in to their own pockets—a very common thing for the modern cong,re4snian to do. The area of land thus given to these Thieving
