increase oV supreme judges.
If oar friends in the Eastern
part of the State, who are complain
ing because the Republican Candi-
for Supreme Judge was not ta
ken from that section of the State,
will only wait a few months, there
is little doubt their section will be
fully represented on the Supreme
Bench. The new constitution will
provide for an increase of two addi
tional judges on the Supreme Court.
Should the constitution not be
adopted, there is no doubt the Leg
islature will pass an act early in the
session increasing the number to
seven. The necessity for this was
recognized by the Legislature at the
last session, and the bill after pass
ing both Houses was only defeated
the day before adjournment by a
disagreement between the two
Houses, as to the mode of their
election. In any event then there
will be two additional judges to se
lect, and the eastern part of the
State will in all probability secure
both, provided Republicans in that
section do their duty at the election
in October. The friends of Judge
Paxson and Judge Butler would do
well to cease their complaints, give
a hearty support to Judge Gordon,
and bide their time ? Some of
Judge Butler’s professed friends
are indiscreet in their criticisms on
the action of the Convention, and
are damaging his chances for the
future, And it is barely possible this
is the result aimed at. Judge But
ler owes his defeat partly, if not
largely, to the indiscreet conduct
and language of one of his delegates
selected by himself, against the ad
vice of his true friends, and he
should endeavor to prevent the same
so called friend prejudicing his fu
ture prospects. It those he trusts
at home do not betray him or de
stroy him by conduct equally as rep
rehensible, there is no doubt that
Judge Butler will occupy a seat
upon the Supreme Bench within
the next twelve months, because no
man can command more strength in
Western Pennsylvania in the next
contest. Philadelphia Republicans
need no warning, because they are
always loyal, and this fact wilflin
sure the nomination of any good
candidate presented by that city in
the event of this increase of Su
preme Judges.
THE EXODUS FBOIW ENGLAND.
England is becoming alarmed at
the immense increase in the tide of
emigration from her shores. The
Queensland Government offer
ed a free passage to 10,000 laborers
and other advantages on their arri
val, and the offer will soon, it is fear
ed, be accepted. The United States
are continually being reinforced by
English and Irish workingmen, to
whom they bold out superior attrac
tions. In Dorset, where 1,000
adults have left, and other places,
the scarcity of laborers is already
felt, and the effect upon business is
-easily noticed. The population of
Ireland is diminished and still di
minishing, and papers are
wow anxiously enquiring: when this
exodus shall stop? It is caused by
- the many superior attractions of this
and other countries. So long as the
workingman can elsewhere earn high
' wages and rise easier in the social
s:ale to positions of influence and
honor, emigration will continue.
Aud so long as wealth, indepen-
deuce and. power are more easily ac- i
qnired in other countries, no
govermental restriction can stop
the exodus in those countries
where labor Is enslaved and the
workingman has an inferior opportu
nity to improve,his condition.-' The
English land system is cruel and un
just, and when compared to the free
homes that can easily be acquired
in this country, the contrast is strik
ing, and the inducement to emigrate
is strong. There is a profound dis
affection among the Irish poor,to re
move which it will require the pass
age of a more radical Irish land
act than has yet been even sug
gested. There are a number of
causes operating to produce " a
diminished population in Great
Britain, bat the chief cause
is the unjust system of laws that re
strict the freedom, happiness and
prosperity of the poor class, togeth
er with the knowledge widely diffus
ed, that other parts of the world,
especially this country, afford far
• better Opportunities /or the work
ingman to get on in the struggle of
life and to rise in the social scale,
and so long as this condition of
things is not reversed, England will
be subjected to an annual loss of
her population. Many indications
encourage the hope that America is
destined to be the great theatre of
progress for tne English speaking
race. When the balance of trade
turns in our favor, and our currency
is again placed firmly on a specie
basis, the progress that will follow
will not only be rapid, but will
leave England far in the rear.
THE LAST ACT OF THE HODOC
The public is, no doubt, “sick
and tired” of this Modoc affair. But
one more scene remains to be enact*
ed and the drama will be ended.
That which was so interesting at
first has now become stale and sip
id, and tie readers of the newspa-
pers will be heartily glad when the
last chapter shall have been written
and the book forever closed.
On Friday last President Grant
approved the sentences in the oases
of Captain Jack, Schonchis, Black
Jim, Boston Charley, One-eyed Jim
and Sloluck, and ordered that they
be harried into execution by the
proper military authority, under the
orders of the Secretary of War, on
the 3d day of October, 1878. The
sentence of each is that he be
“hanged by the neck until he be
dead.” Secretary Belknap has or
dered that the “sentences be duly
executed under the direction of the
general commanding the Depart
ment of the Columbia, at Fort
Klamath, Oregon,” on tbe day des
ignated by the President. And so
will end the career of five desperate
and wicked savages.
This will receive the general ap
proval of the community. One can
only vqish that the white men who
taught?them their fiendish perfidy
could be made to participate in like
manner with them in the last scene.
The President has received a
great many appeals from members
of the Society of Friends, pleading
for executive clemency Mo
docs. As the proceedings seemed
to be, in the opinion ot the Attor
ney General, his legal adviser, in
every respect regular and according
to the laws made and provided; as
they were carefully reviewed by the
Judge Advocate General, and as the
President was unable to discover
any palliating circumstances, he
determined not to interfere.
This firm and prompt disposition
of the case cannot, of course, be
construed into an abandonment of
the President's past Indian policy.
It is rather a part of his general
policy in the treatment of the In
dianfl, and the “exterminators” can
claim no victory in his action in
this case.
The Democratic State Conven
tion met in Wilkesharre on Tuesday,
to nominate a State ticket, and to
adopt a platform with which to go
before the people. We have not
yet, (Wednesday,) ascertained the
result of the Convention, but the
telegraphic reports seem to fore
shadow a lively struggle over the
back pay question. The Conven
tion is in a delicate position in re
gard to this back pay, for if it de
nounces It, it will be compelled to
repudiate many of its trusted lead
ers, and to Censure some of its
DBiini.

most prominent members. Wheth
er the delegate** will be able to come
np to the work and obey, the voice
of the people which rent them, is
now uncertain. Whichever way
the matter is decided, the revolt will
be about the. same to the party,, for
if the measure is unmistakably con
demned in the platform adopted, the
implied censure to. Randall and oth
ers,prominent in Democratic'circles,
must tend to weaken confidence in
a party of such greedy followers
as well as diminish its strength by
the necessity of shelving those
Democratic members of Congress
whose pockets are lined with back
pay;but if the subject is passed
over in silence the masses will not
turn hopefully to the Democratic
party for reform, retrenchment or
reduction of taxation. The con
vention cannot afford to keep silent
on this subject, when even to be
out-spoken against it will not give
harmony or additional strength to
the party. We expect that some
compromise on this back pay matter
will be patched np and a resolution
that looks both ways will be adopt
ed as expressing the sense of the
convention. There are several can
didates before the convention for
the two offices to be filled, but who
are to be the successful candidates
is not known at this writing.
The Chinese shoe makers
eaehnsetts have gone on a strike,
having received the impression that
their wages were too low, and that
their employers were making more
money from their cheap work than
was consistent with a fair and equal
distribution of the rewards of labor
The Chinese are apt'imitators, and
will be quick to take advantage of
the system ot strikes, if they can
do so successfully. The only in
ducement to employ them now is
because their wages are low, and as
soon as they demand equal wages
with other workingmen, it will go
far towards discouraging their em
ployment or removing complaint
against them on -account of cheap
labor.
departure for Europe we stated that we
had good grounds for stating that the

at the office of the State Treasurer.

—A dispatch states that the Democrats
of York, Pa., have just completed an or
ganization from which all persons con
nected with corrupt local rings are ex
cluded. The organization is not a very
bulky affair, so far as heard from and
consists exclusively of a President, a Sec
retary and a manuscript of by-laws.
—The Cincinnati Gazette says: We
should like to know what the tariff for
revenue, and not for protection, in the
Democratic platform means. Any rate
of duty laid on an article such as we
manufacture gives that rate of protection.
Tbe duties on tea and coffee, which yield
revenue without protection, we threw off
last year. Does the antediluvian Democ

—tlfc following is t|>e ticket nominated

on the 21st Inst.: Senator—Tryon liewis,

—A Brookville correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, writing on Wednes
day last, says: This town is all a blaze
of excitement oyer the nomination of
Hon. Isaac G. Gordon for the Supreme
Court. As soon as the Telegraph an
nounced the result the citizens, without
distinction of party, formed in procession.
and proceeded to the Juge’s residence to
tender to him their heartfelt congratula-
tions. The Judge, a good old presbyteri
an, was at bis church prayer-meeting,
from which he was hurried to bis home
to receive tbe congratulations of his fel
low-townspeople, who filled the honse.
Telegraph messages from many of his
friends throughout tbe State were receiv-
ed, all of which assure us that no effort
will be spared to make tbe Judge’s “call
ing and election” sure. This nomination
has been based upon simple merit and
capability, and was effected, as all^pure
nominations should be, "without money
and without price.”
—The St. Louis Times is wicked enough
to pun on the name of Pugb, and to sug
gest that the Hon. George E. is
about to contribute to the pngh
rity of the Democratic party by
withdrawing from it. Mr. Pogh is truly
unfortunate. At that period of the war
time when Mr. Vallandigham was engag
ed in contemplating the beauties of Niag-
ara Falls from tbe Canadian shore, be,
! i’ugh, announced that be would place
himself at the bead of 300,000 citizens of
Ohio, and, matching to the frontier,
would call out three times, "Vallandig
mm, Vallandigdam, Vallandigham,” and
all the force of this elegant promise was
wasted when an irreverent listener in
the crowd suggested the effect that
would be produced by Vallandigham
calling out, "Pugh ! Pugh! Pugh!”
It is sinful to take advantage of a
man’s qaisfortune * D that way, but Mr.
Pugh should change, either bis name or
bis ways.
—A national convention of the miners
and laborers of tbe United States will be
held in the city of Youngstown, Ohio, on
the second Tuesday of October, next.
Tbe call says: The specific objects sought
to be accomplished by the formation of
such an. association are as follows:
1. A consolidation of the entire body
of miners of tbe United States, for the
pnrpose of self-protection.
2. To afford pecuniary and moral sup
port to such districts as may be forced to
tbe alternative of a strike.
3. For a thorough discussion of our
grievances, and the passage of such laws
as our safety and welfare demand in tbe
several States. /
Fellow workmen —one word in conclu
sion. Let every miner and laborer who
reads this call realize that it is in bis in
terest that it is issued. Act as though
success depended on your individual ef
forts. ' Make a beginning. Where no un
ion exists, form one without delay. Take
steps ,to meet your fellow-workmen in
council. Let the men of Pennsylvania
meet tne miners from Illinois. Let min
ers of Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, lowa,
Missouri, Kentucky and Michigan—in
short fromjilvery locality where mining
is carried on, "Gome and reason together”
form an organization in which brother
will be pledged to brother—an organiza
tion will form a bulwark alike in tbe day
of prosperity and the hour of adversity.
Will you do so, or do you prefer to occu
py your present unenviable position ?
The answer and the issue are in your
own hands.

Jteeolwd, That while We adhere to the

upright men.

honest and worthy men to places of pub

take with him our best wishes for his suc
cess.
Resolved , That the delegate to the State
Convention, from Lawrence county, is
hereby instructed to use all honorable
means to secure the nomination of the
Hon. John Trnnky for the Supreme

—TbejHev. Dr. Field, of the New
York Evangelist , received a private letter
from Boston? written on Tuesday of last
week, from which the following is an ex-
tract:
"Yice President Wilson was at my
bouse yesterday and over night. He e»t3
and sleeps as well as he ever did, wearh
no patch on bis eye, shows no sign of
physical disorder except a slight curve at
the right corner of the mouth He says
he feels no weakness in bis side or
and his walk is as elastic and easy as be
fore bis affiction. It was a paralysis of
the facial nerve, and ndt much else, exr
cept that bis whole system was over
worked and run down, and needed rest,
that, with restricted diet and mild reme
dies, is fast setting him up. Electricity
will be applied to his face if necessary,
but nothing of the kind has been done
yet.”
