J. S. Rutan will have charge of the political department of the new' paper, and J. Weyand will be its business manager.— Argus. SUCH CONSISTENCY. The editor of the Harrisburg Pa triot is capable ot performing extra ordinary feats. He is aj>emocratio Salary Grabber of the most marked stripe, who was not content to ad vocate the measure for the sake of others, and forego the swag himself in order to show the sincerity and disinterestedness of his support,but his-zeal in the cause was so great as to compel him to receive his back pay, that he might not only teach by precept but example. This politi cal performer on the trapeze, with his pockets thus well lined, now per forms daily at dizzy hights all man ' nor of astonishing twists and tarns upon the swag swing. This Salary Grabber sdys in one of his daring flights through the air, that\*Hhe Salary Grab resolution of the Democratic platform places the Democracy a length a head of the Republicans in denunciation of back pay, and will unquestionably have the effect of electing the Democrat* icticket.” But few Salary Grab bers have the courage and agility Ho equal the above feat The resp lutipn referredxto, denounces the back pay and increase of salaries, and brand* those who voted for the moneyed received itjj-as well as those who. accepted the pay, but voted against the measure, as com mitting acts unjust and unjustifia ble. The editor of the Patriot with the swag in his pocket and the above brand of the Democratic Con vention on his forehead, says that the salary back pay resolution will have the effect to. elect the Demo cratic ticket. Will not the people see through such thin deceit. The ftUriot is the bright luminary in the Democratic sky, and if its editor can talk both ways at different tunes and say and do one thing in private and quite another in public through his paper, what will the people think o? such a procedure ? What faith can honest voters have in the sincerity of the Democratic party in adopting and advocat ing the salary grab resolution, when the leaders of the party profess and practice contrary to its sentiments. We fail to see, however, how the Democrats are put a length ahead of the Republicans in denunciation of back pay and increase of salaries, and certainly they are far behind in ability to fulfill their promises. In the first place their own party is divided in thiß-State on this ques tion, and a very strong effort by the prominent leaders was made to pre vent the Democratic Committee from committing itself in ©position to the measure. That opposition is not conquered, it was overborne,but still lives, and is powerful in the Democratic party. When the meas ure comes up again in Congress next Winter, will the Democratic Mem bers vote the increase of salaries down to the old figures again ? We shall see. votes the Dem ocratic party up in order to vote down back pay and increase of sala ries, will throw his vote away and regret it in the end. ac- ECONOHTY OF EDUCATION. From a recent investigation made in the office of the Commissioner of Education, at Washington, in re gard to the relation of postal and revenue receipts, and the number of patents issued, to the .in different sections of the country, we gather the following interesting facts in favor of common schools and universal education. The number of patents issued to the inhabitants of Arkansas was nne to every 37,267 persons, while in Connecticut there was one patent issued to every 966 persons. In Ar kansas there are sbpteen adults una ble to write to every one hundred inhabitants; in Connecticut there are four adults unable to write to every one hundred inhabitants. In Arkansas the receipts of internal revenue were twerity -e\x cents and nine mills per capimf in Connecti cut the veceipts wfere two dollars and Sfty-fonr cents per 'Sspita. 1° Arkansas there resalted daring the postal year of 1870-’7l, to the Post Office Department a dead loss of over forty-nine cents for each inhab itant of the State,4kloss in amount almost double t)ie internal revenue receipts from the State. In Con necticut there accrued a net profit to the Post Office Department of twenty-six cents per capita. In Florida there are twenty-three adults unable to write to every one hundred inhabitants. In that State one pa tent was isBu°d to every 31,291 in habitants, or only six in the entire State. The internal revenue collect ed amounted to sixty-four cents per capita (of the entire population.) From that State the Post Office De partment suffered a loss of ninety two cents per capita. Contrast this with California, where the number of patents issued was one to every inhabitants, and the amount of internal revenue collected was six dollars and forty-three cents per cap ita. There was a loss to the Post Office Department of one dollar and ajialf per capita, but this deficit is accounted for in part by the long lines of transportation, to the cost ofwhich the thinly-settled interven ing sections do not greatly contri bute. But in California there are only four adults unable to write to every one hundred of the inhabit ants. In Tennessee twelve adults are unable to read and write to every one hundred of the inhabitants, and the State pays internal revenue at the rate of sixty-nine cents per cap ita, while Ohio, in which there are THE *B73, four illiterate adult* to every one hundred inhabitants pays five dol lars and sixty-eight cent* internal revenue per capita. Id Massachusetts there are three adult illiterate persons put of every One hundred inhabitants, tbe-excess of Post Ofifce receipts pbove.expen ditures was over $375)000; No Republican in the party in this county deserves more from the party than oar candidate for County Commissioner, G. W. Shrades. For fifteen yearr be has been one of the most devoted, earn est, bard-working, members of bis party, and tor the first time Is be* 'he people as a candidate for The RepaWictanfi of tb6 ,ty owe him a debt of gratitnde which can only be discharged oy the earnest efforts of CVfiry true Re publican to pat him ahead of the ticket in every township. We hope onr friends will not neglect this. The Texans are bitter against railroad monopolies, and in this re speot are said to excel the citizens of any of the other States. This feeling is remarkable, as Texas has comparatively few railroads and sparse population, the former cans* ing the want of them to be felt, bat the later making their construc tion almost impossible. The anti railroad feeling must be deep seated, when it exists \inder such adverse conditions. The Berks and of September 6th, says in regard to the Crawford County system : The Lancaster Republican County. Con vention which met in Lancaster on Monday, by a vote of 164 to 46 re commended the abolition of the Crawford county system, and ap pointed a committee to devise new rules, to be reported to an adjourn ed meeting, to be called by the President after the October election. The State debt under State Treas urer Mackey’s management has been reduced, daring the last month, five hundred thousand dollars, which is one of the strongest arguments in favor of his election. Aredtmtion of the State debt meins less taxes, and whosoever can rodade steadily the debt is the right man, in the right place, and so the people will' say next October. The Constitutional Convention will reassemble in on Tuesday morning the 16th inst* The first business for the Conven tion to do will be the election of a presiding officer in place of Hon. Wm. M. Meredith, deceased. Also another delegate to succeed him as a member of the Convention, will have to be chosen by the I&publi cans. political notes: • Judge Acheson was not present at Court last week, owing to his re cent illness. The Associate Judges held the Court until Friday, even ing, and disposed of a large num ber of criminal cases. Beaver county is blessed with capable As sociate Judges, as the people have reason! to know and appreciate. If the neVy constitution is adopted, Beaver must be a separate district, because Washington will constitute one, Butler and Lawrence one, and Beaver, of necessity one. This is both right aud necessary, in view of the feeble health of our President Judge. Beaver county is also grow ing rapidly and business multiply ing still more rapidly, 80 as to re quire this change. Daniel Eementeout, Esq., a lawyer of Berks county, will succeed Hon. J> Depny Davis io the State Senate. Davis with* drew from the canvass, owing to the unexpected interference of Hon. Heister Clymer, member of Con gres e from that district, and the feel ing in favor of rotation in office,which prevails with the unterrified in that Democratic stronghold. Senator Davis was three times elected to the Senate, and maintained throughout his entire terra of ser vice an unquestionable reputation for ability and integrity. Although a bitter Democrat and. a bold out spoken leader, Republican Senators admired him for his candor and in tegrity of purpose, and there is not one but will hear of his retirement with regret. Ibwik, of Centre, ha® been nomi nated for Senate by; the Republi cans of the Huntingdon Senatorial district. If the Democrats nomi nate Petriken, as it is thought they will, Irwin will have a walkover. , After nine years 9 service in the Senate, Hon. W. M. Randall, of Schuylkill county, has been retired by the Democrats. This Is ungrate ful in view of his services for the party, but gratitude is not one of the virtues of the Great Unwashed! The Pittsburgh Evening Tile graph is steadily gaining in popu larity and influence. It is justly re garded as one of the best afternoon papers in the United States, and the Republicans of Penn sylvania should be proud <?( c ' n i ß fact* afid sustain It as such an or gan deserves to be sustained. Hon. David A* Nagle was hon ored by the Democrats ot the Third District of Philadelphia by a unani mous for a third term. He is a gentleman, and if the dis trict is to be represented by a Dem ocrat, then Nagle iS‘\just the man Republicans would be gratified to see elected. The Republicans of Bradford county honored themselves and the party throughout the State by unan imously re-nominating Hon. James IL Webb for Assembly. Mr. Webb served five years in the House, Speaker for one terra, and enjoyed a reputation for ability, firmness and strict integrity among men of all parties. It is not probable he will be a candidate for Speaker, es pecially if Mr. Myers is, but if he should be his experience and high character would make him formida ble against any candidate that could be named. Hon. John A. Bingham has reached the Pacific coast on his way to Japan, and it is to be hoped_ the malicious clamor of a certain portioff of the press will follow him no further. He did wrong in vot ing for the salary grab, but it is one wrong act in sixteen years of distinguished public service, and for this reason should be both for given and forgotten. He is the ablest and most deserving Republi can holding a foreign appointment, and having a record and a reputation that will reflect honor on his conn s, try for generations to come, he can well afford to disregard the clamor of the hour.

Mr. Mackey baa been Treasurer for three years, and has managed our finances in an admirable manner ; and Judge Gor don is one of the purest and ablest jurists in the State,' and bis nomination gives universal satisfaction. The-election.of our State ticket is secure by a majority of not less than thirty-five thousand. Judg ing by the feeling of satisfaction that we bear expressed from all parts of our county, in regard to each candidate—and by the way, we never bad a better or more unexceptionable ticket —the lowest man on it will not fall short of 750 major ity at the polls. Republicans, burnish up your arms, and make ready for the glori ous victory that awaits you on the second Tuesday of October. —The State Journal says: The Democ racy of Berks county, at their late conven tion, passed the following resolution : Resolved , Th*t the Democracy of Berks rejoice to see the farmers all over the country organizing, as a class, in opposi tiun to the oppression of monopolies and the frauds of speculators; and that we bail this as a dawn of return to the sound and safe principles of free government announced by Thomas Jefferson In his first inaugural. Frank M. Hutchinson and bis father-in law, George W. Cass, are the associates in interests of the men who- control the railroad monopolies of the West, which have for years been plundering the farm ers of that region, and against whom the granges are all organized. The Demo crat who believes in the justice of the Berks county resolution quoted above, cannot vote for Mr. Hutchinson, and if the farmers of that county know the fact stated herein they would most asuredly repudiate Mr. as a candidate for State Treasurer.
