The Republican State Convention met at Philadelphia on the 23 ult.. for the purpose of nominating candidates for Governor and Judge of the Supreme Court. Governor Geary was re-nominated on the first ballot by the overwhelming majority of 122 to 11. A desperate effort had bceu made by a few political tricksters to prevent his re-nomina tion but their utmost effort proved a miser able abortiou. Governor Geary was nonii uatcd three years ago contrary to the wishes of the same political ring and triumphantly elected as the choice of the people and not of the politicians. A man of the people from among the ptople, he has given sueh general satisfaction that the masses of the Republican party who only a.-k an upright and hottest admini.-tration have almost unan imously re-nominated him on the first bal lot. As the candidate of the party of Re trenchment and Iletorm and one of its no blest representatives he will be again tri umphantly elected. As a man who dares to obey conscience rather than politicians, who labors in bis official capacity for the good of the pcople and not simply for per sonal advancement and partisan ends he will command the support of honest men and good citizens throughout the State. No better nor more popular man than Gov ernor treaty could have been nominated, nor one more earnestly devoted to the best in terests of the whole State. We would not pretend that Governor Geary is faultless or infallible, but we do a>-s;rt without fear of contradiction that Pennsylvania has rarely been blessed with a Governor, who lias made fewer mistakes or exercised a more careful guardianship over her interests, (fairy \\. Williams of Pittsburg was unan imously nominated for Judge of the Su preme Court. His well known reputation as a successful lawyer and an able jurist gained him the Republican nomination two years ago, when coffee pot Wallace's frauds defeated him and placed the partisan .Sbars wood on the Supreme Bench. He was. since appoiuted to the Supreme bench by Governor Geary to fill the unexpired term of Judge Strong. His fitness for the posi tion has been well attested by the ability with which he has discharged the duties of his office. The people will show their ap preciation of him by triumphantly electing him next fall and itbuking the fraud that defeated him two years aeo. The ticket is uodoubtedly the Strom- ; that culd possi bly have been made and insures us a splen did victory in October. THE t-har of the Spanish Empire i 1 Cuba seems to be slowly hut surely M nine. The Spanish forces are dwindling daily while those of the insurgents are as steadily in creasing. Ihe p- nots now appear to have complete contr I of full half the island, and thej are da\_, trenching upon the portion still under Spanish rule: Tito insurgents are everywhere victorious and jubilant, whiie the government troops arc' defeated and desponding. Although under the neu trality laws our government can give no aid, and has even been constrained to make some arrests of Cubans where their recruit iT■ operations have been too hold and open, yet the sympathy of the whole nation is with the patriots and they know it. In ad dition to this they have received and are st..! receiving reinforcements and supplies ol arms and ammunition from the United State, almost daily, until they are now fair ly clipped with the'best of modern weap ons o! war, and led by some of our own ex pt'rienced veterans, constitute quite an effi cient force. The skies are certainly bright ening for the patriots and the signs ot the times indicate that Spanish rule in the Queen -Antilles is fast approaching its end. iitE Anthracite coal operators, who con mved with their miters to bring about a stnke in order to keep up the price of coal by shortening tin, supply, have come to grief. Instead of increasing the price of coal they have only stimulated the produc tion and increased the sales of bituminous <•!. I hey are now beginning to see the folly-of their course, and are preparing to resume operations. But the consumers of coal have already learned wisdom from the folly of the operators and have been making their arrangements for using soft coal wherever practicable, and thereby becoming independent of the anthracite opeiators. Jbe Broad-top eoal region in this county has felt the advantage of this fight, between the producers and consumers of hard coal in the increased prosperity of the mining in terests in that section. (\M>PEnn£imsM i„ taring to wear the mask of a true Democracy gets into some queer corners. Their latest original argu ment a- advanced by the Harrisburg Patriot that the more restricted the elective fran chise and the fewer the number of votors the more intelligent and the better the gov ern ... nt. by this rule a government by one man would be the very best attainable, nether words an Emperor would be the copperhead ideal of a perfect government. I his is the Democracy 0 f coppcrbeadism. ] hl *\ ~mc for intelligent Democrats to abandon the party that preaches Impe rialism under the guise of opposition to negro suffrage? over tbe ff geUlDg badly ml Ulcd thc question. Even our elev tr neighbors of the Harrisburg Patriot un dertook a few days ago to show that the extension of the elective franchise tended to imperialism. In other words that the more democratic we became the less democratic w • tvuu.d be, which is certainly a very ori ental deduction, and must have been reach ed by some very extraordinary method of reasoning. SOMETHING FOR FREE TRADERS TO ANSWER. Suppose we take the duty off iron as the free traders desire, what would he the re sult, we ask ? The wages are, for puddling a ton of iron in englsnd, $3,27 i; in Bel gium, $1.20; in the United States, $4.374, . gold. The average weekly earnings in gold in the United States, are $16.51; in Eng ! land, $8.75; in France, $8.00; and in Bel gium, $6.00. The price of freight on a ton of irc-n from either England, Belgium or France, to New York, is not ss great as from Pottsville to New York. Now cannot any person see that with such competition, under free trade, our iron establishments must close or wages must be reduced to the European rates? Recollect that in Eng land, France and Belgium there are nearly as many iron establishments standing idle, for the want of a market for their pioducts, as we have in the United States. In Eog land, Wales andScotlond alone in 1867, out of 913 furnaces built, 350 were standing idle, we produce in 1867 only 1,461,626 tous against 4,761,028 produced in England. By starting these furnaces, England alone could supply us with a quantity equal to our ale product. Under free trand the iron business of the United States would have to be abandoned or Wages reduced nearly one half of the present rates.— Miners' Journal. THE Democracy of Frederick, Md., had a fioral decoration of the Rebel graves in that vicinity on Friday afternoon last, on which occasion John Ritchie, Esq., an eminent Democratic lawyer, made the oration. Why can't the Democracy of Adams be as bold, and set apart a day, for the decora ! tion of the graves oj' the Rebel dead who lie around Gettysburg ? If none of the resi dent Democratic orators be equal to the oc casion, one could be imported from the oth i r side of the line, where fiecesh Democracy has had full development and where the Democrats are not ashamed to own that they were Traitors during the war.—Get tysburg Stur\ Sentinel. IT is estimated that Air. Boutwcll's re trenchment system will save the Govern ment a million of doilarr in the single item clerk-' S'larie- 1 . Johnson Copperhead ism bad fastened so many of these barnacles in the shape of extra and useless clerks to the old ship of State that she bad become well nigh water-logged. No one seemed to dream bow small a force of clerks eould run the revenue department until Boutwell be gan to apply the pruning hook. The eyes of a good many lazy clerks have been pretty widely opened since then, much to the re lief of Uncle Sam's purse. SOMERSET COUNTY NOMINATIONS. —The Republicans of Somerset have nomiuated for Senator, Hon. A. Stntzman, for Assem bly F. B. Long. These are both subject to the decisions of the Senetorial and Legisla tive conferences of the district. The Somerset Democracy have nominat ed Hiram Findlay again for the Senate and Samuel \\ alker for Assembly, as a matter of course they don't expect to be elected, but propose meekly to accept the honor of being defeated. I'll EKE never was a party in existence in this country which redeemed its pledges as faithfully as has the Republican. When it was organized it -pledged itself to maintain the national life. The crushed slaveholder's rebellion is the evidence of the fulfillment of this covenant. During that struggle the Republican party agreed to pay the nation al debt and take care of tbo survivors of (lie war for the Union. It is doing this every day.— Ex. IT appears from the investigations of the census committee, that a new element will be found to deal with in the next census. The representation clause of the constitu tor! will materially lesson the representation of'quitc a namber of States unless the negro is enfranchised. This will bring up the uogro suffiage question in a new and more practical light to the Democracy. ORGANIZE FOR THE CAMPAIGN.— The political Campaign in Pennsylvania is now fairly commenced on the Republican side. The State Ticket is in the held, and the next duty is for our friends in the several d' aricts to prepare for the work before ihem. Let every man who would see the Republican party victorious this fall begin to work in earnest and at once. ADD to the $31,000,000 of gold interest io he paid out by the Government on the Ist of July, the sum to be disbursed in the ibree great cities for dividends, &c., and a total of about sixty millions of currency will be unlocked and distributed this week, in those leading monetary - entres. The result ; of an easier money market is generally anti cipated. TIIE PEACE JUBILEE.— The great Peace Jtth Te at Boston has proven a most extra ordinary and wonderful success In the grand chorus there were employed one thou sand instruments and ten thousand voices, beside one hundred anvils, the great organ, the monster* bass drum and a battery of artillery. Nothing like it has ever been witnessed in the world before. A NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CONVEN TION has been called, to assemble at Chica go, September Ist, when it is proposed to inaugurate "a decided and practical effort to overcome the dread power of the liquor trade," by distinct political action for the prohibition of the traffic. HENRV IIOUCK, Esq-, of Lebanon coun ty, has been appointed Deputy State Super intendent of Common Sehoola, to fill tlie va cancy caused by the death of the late Chas. R Coburn. The qualifications of Mr. 11. for the post are very highly commended by those who know him. UPON the joint recommendation of Gov. John W. Geary and the Hon. H. W. Wil liams, Hon. John Covode was appointed Chairman of the State Central Committee. Mr. Ccvode is a hard-working, influential, zealous Republican, and will look after the interests of the party. THE Ohio Republicans have re nominated their present Governor, Rutherford B. Hayes. Governor Hayes has made a most acceptable Governor and has increased in popularity and strength since bis election two years ago. He will be re-elected by a handsome majority. PROTECTION to American industry as ad vocated by the Bepublican party means plenty of work, good wages and plenty of money for every laboring man. Free-tirade will surely bring, as it has always done idle ness. poverty and rags. THE Congressional Committee of Ways and Means reached Sacramento California jrom New York in six days and eight hours by the Union Pacific railroad. This is the quickest time yet made. THE National Intelligencer collapsed on Friday last for want of funds. It was es tablished in 1800. Andy Johnsonism was too heavy a dose for it and it has given up the ghost. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. The Temporary and Permanent Organ ization. The Convention Addressed by Hon. Galnsha A. Grow. Geii. Geary Renominated for (Governor. Jntlgc Williams the Nomiueefor the Supreme Bench. PHILADELPHIA, June 23. The Republican State Convention met in Concert Hall this morning, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Governor and Judge of the Supreme Court. The hall was handsomely decorated, and filled to its ut most capacity with delegates and citizens. Hon. Henry Souther, of Ridgway, was elected temporary president. The convention was called to order by Hon. Galusha A. Grow, who delivered an address congratulating the citizens of Pennsylvania on the grand presidential triumph last year, and assuring them that a sound Republican who helped to fight that grand political battle must be nominated and elected to the gubernatorial chair. He referred to the Missouri compromise, the Kansas Nebraska bill, drawing a comparison between the political events and slavery ol 1854 and the political rights and freedom en joyed by all at the present day. The din of arms is no longer heard, but the war of ideas still goes on. There was much sensation among tha dele gates and significent dances were exchanged at the conclusion of Mr. G row's speech. The calling of the roll was proceeded with. The 25th Senatorial district, Allegheny, was represented by Messrs Brown and Mar shall. At 12 o'clock the Convention adjourned, to meet again at two P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION. PHILADELPHIA, June 23. On the reassembling of the Convention, at 2 o'clock the Committee on Permanent Organization reported Mr. Graham for per manent President. _ A resolution was adopted thanking Mr. Grow for his able services in conducting the late campaign. Speeches eulogistic of Mr. Grow were then made, to which he rc ' sponded. The Committee on Credentials then re ported, and the delegates commenced ballot ing. Among the names voted for were Gen. eraD Meade, Porter of Dauphin county, Liilie, of Carbon conntv, lion. George B. Lawrence and others. The nomination was made by the first bal lot, which resulted as follows: Geary 122; Meade, 4 : Lawrence, 6 ; Porter, 1. H. W. Williams was then unanimously nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court. The following platform was then adopted as the sentiments of the Republican Conven tion : Resolved, That we rejo'ce in the glorious National victory of 1868, which is bringing peace, happiness and prosperity to us as a nation. Resolved, That we wholly approve the principles and policy of the administration of General Grant, and we heartily endorse everv sentiment contained in his inaugural address, and especially do hereby ratify and approve the late amendment to the Con stitution of the United States proposed by Congress, known as the Fifteenth Amend ment. Resolved. That we have confidence that the General Administration will wisely and firmly protect the interests of the Nation in respect to our just claims against Great Britain, and that we endorse the action of the Senate in rejecting the Johnson Claren don treaty, known as the Alabama claims. Resolved, That we heartily sympathize with the Struggling people of all nations in their efforts to attain universal freedom and the inalienable rights of man. _ Resolved, That we cordially endorse the administration ol Governor JohD W. Geary as wise, economical and honest, and that it deserves, as it has received, the approval of the people of Pennsylvania, and we especially commend his uniform efforts to restrain the evils of special legislation. Resolved, That in Hon. Henry W. Wil liams, our candidate for the Supreme Bench, we present a learned, pure and patriotic jurist, who will adorn the high position to which we propose to elect him. Resolved, That we reiterate and affirm our adherence to the doctrine of protection as proclaimed in the ninth resolution of the platform adopted at the State Convention of March 7, 1866. R'-xohtd, That wc onclor.se the ticket this day nominated, and pledge to it our hearty and cordial support. Resolved, That the Chairman of this Con vention is hereby authorized to appoint a Chairman of the State Central Committee on the joint recommendation of the can didates this day nominated; and that the State Central Committee shall consist, during the coming campaign, of the same number of delegates from each county as the last committee, and they be appointed by the Senatorial and Representative delegates, except Allegheny county, which shall have eight members. At five o'clock the business for which the Convention had assembled was disposed of, and it adjourned xine dir. OF the nominations, the Philadelphia North American Bays : General Geary is a veteran soldier of two of the most glorious wars of the Republic. In both cases he went in to seek no holiday service, lie served fully and ably, and in the last and greatest war he only returned to the bosom of his native Commonwealth when the great army of Sherman was disbanded, after its ever-memorable campaign through Georgia and the Carolina* Such a hero is a fit target for the sneers of the party that went into the Presidential campaign of 1804 with a platform pronounc ing the war a failure. The people endorsed him in 1866, when he was elected their Governor, and we cannot believe that they will now reverse that verdict in 1869, after he has honorably fulfilled the responsible duties of his high office, but we will rc-clect him by a great majority. Judge Williams is no new or untried man. As a Judge of the Court of Allegheny county, his record is one in the highest de gree honorable to himself. Ilia character stands enviably high with the bench and bar of the State, and his thoroughly judicial cast of mind befits him for the office to which he has been nominated. It is the same he now fills by appointment of the Governor, made upon the resignation of Judge Strong, and we have heard no ob jection to his course and conduct on that bench. As regards the importance of the office, we need only remind our readers that, of the Judges now on the bench of the Su preme Court Messrs. Sharswood and Thompson arc Democrats in a strict partisan sense, and that if another Democrat be now elected to fill Strong's vacancy, that party will again have entire control of the highest Court in the Commonwealth, three being a majority of that bench. The War of the Printers. Ihe professor of the "art preservative of all arts have for years past been organ ized in a series of protective associations, know as l nions. These societies regu lated the compensation of the printers, and one of its most rigid rules was that none hut members of Unions shall work together in the same offices, Consequently, all print ing establishments were forced to employ tither all "Union compositors or rely ex clusively upon outsiders. The exoteric tjrpos were designated by the esoteric l nions as "rats." though in what respects they resemble the shrewd and sham-toothed rodents is wrapped in mystery. The Gov ernment Printing Department at Washing ton has always employed Union men, until Mr. Superintendent Clapp put a National composing stick into the dusky hands of one L. 11. Douglass, a colored man, and not a member of any Union. The Supcrinten dent was requested to remove the colored rat, but refused. Then the National typographical Union met and condemned him, next the printers employed in the Government Office assembled and passed resolutions condemning the National Typo graphical Union, and indorsing Mr. Clapp, and turther they demanded in lite name ul right the admission into their Union of all worthy printers, irrespective or raees, color, or sex. Tliis is breaking down barriers of exclusion with a vengencc. The adherents ot Mr. Ulapp are certainly bold and pro gressive men, and have placed themselves in a position where they must either achieve a crowning victory or sustain a crushing de feat. The printers' war has assumed an in teresting phase, and the now mooted ques tion of distinctions of sex and race in the arena of labor will be effected by the result o! the {tending typographical contest. T llorte Resigns. WASHINGTON, June 25.—A special nib ing of the Cabinet was held this morni and Mr. Borie resigned his position as S retary of the Navy. Hon. George M. Re eson, of New Je-sey, has been appointed succeed Mr. Bono. TIIE NEW CABINET OFFICEB. The lion. George M. Robeson, appoiij c ed by the President Secretary of the Nav c to fill the vacancy occasioned by the regit ß nation of lion. A. K. Borie, is a son . c Judge William P. Robeson, of Wane, county, New Jersey, who tvas, as a leading Whig, Ion;! and prominently connected witl c the politics of the State. Mr. Robeson entered Princeton College: in 1844, and upon graduating, in 1847, en tered the law office of Chief Justice Horn-i blower at Newark. Upon concluding his legal studies, in 1850, he was associated for a time in the practice of his profession with A. C. M. Pennington. Subsequently re moving to Camden, he was appointed pro: - ecutorof the pleas tor that county in 1850. ! Upon the election of Mr. Frclinghuysen as Senator, in 18ft", Mr. Robeson was appoint ed by Governor Ward Attorney General, which position be resigns for bis new duties, To bis fine legal qualifications he unites a general knowledge and practical ability, which give promise of efficiency and useful ness in his new position. Mr. Robeson is a strong and decided Republican, and has been earnest ami active in support of its principles and candidates. On all questions of national policy he is in entire accord with the party which supported the election of Gen. Grant. It_ is a curious coincidence that the only position ever held iu the Cab inet by Jersey men has been that of Secre tary of the Navy. In 1523 Samuel L. Southard was appoint ed Secretary of the Navy by President Mon roe, and he contiuued in that position dur ing the entire administration of John Quin cy Adauis. In 1834 M&hlon Picker son was appointed Secretary of the Navy by Presi dent Jackson, and he continued in the Cab inet of Mr. \ an Buren for more than a year. Both were distinguished men, and added to their reputation by their administration of the Navy Department. The Census Committee. WASHINGTON, June 21.—1t is evident from the tone of the press generally, as well as from private conversation, that the pub lic does not fully appreciate the importance of the labor cf the Census Committee, which has just adjourned. To fully appreciate it. it should be remembered that the census is taken primarily for the purpose of establish ing a basis of representation in Congress, and secondarily, for the collection of inter esting statistics regarding the progress and resources of the country. The committee has concluded, upon careful examination of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitu tion, that it will be necessary to take an ac curate enumeration of all male citizens of the I nited States, 21 years of age, who are denied by their respective States the right to vote. They think this necesgkry to ob tain a constitutional basis for the appoint ment of Representatives. The comniittte are of the opinion that the effeet of this will be in those States where, from any cause, the right of nude citizens to vote is u I any way abridged, whether they be white or black, except by disqualification on ac-' count of participation in the rebellion, to reduce the nurnber of Congressmen. Penn sylvania. New York. Massachusetts, Ken tucky, Maryland, and other States will be compelled to make the franchise universal and place all voters on an impartial plat form, or suffer a material reduction of tli< strength of each State in its Congrssiona delegation. Custom House Disclosures* A telegram from Cincinnati announeei that the Government, having found tha the quantity of sugar and coffee smuggle! into the country through the port of Nov Orleans is larger than that was at first su> ! posed ; and that it had been sent all over the \\ est and Northwest, the Revenue eh cers are now there looking after the gods, making seizures and compelling holder/ to prove that duties have been paid, in <rdc-i to retain the goods discovered in their pos session. We are glad to hear of this uovc ment in the way of reform, rctreuchnent j and recovery of revenues due to the Gotprn mcnt. l'he line of the Mississippi has bgj. especially since the war, a favorite lin'of t operations for the smugglers. After ho j c echoes of the Boston Jubilee shall Ive i cen-ed and the administration shall ivo ''] found out what to do about the Cubanq*- i , tion, the Alabama question may be ft j a over for a while until-til! further steps sill be made in the way of retrenchment ad reform. _ 'I he question of the cnonnas : ) frauds in petroleum, tobacco and wliiy v might well be revived. It is now of ! j highest importance that all revenues legi- ! . mately due to the Government should c ! collected, and that all leaks should be .-to- j ped. Grit RELATIONS MM BRAZIL.—NT i until the arrival ol the Brazilian mail cot! j we form any idea ol the hot which our Minister to Brazil lias wag! with the government of Don Pedro. Ge ! W ebb is a positive man. Having a numi • of American claims in hand long pendin ; he insisted upon their timely recognitio ; and payment. The Brazilian Cabinet deeit ed it best diplomacy to overlook the Goner 1 al, and simply consult Mr. Seward through their assiduous representative at Washing! to °- Mr. Webb retorted by presenting hii own and Mr. feeward s demands, coupled with a vigorous intimation that he would not permit himself to be snubbed with im punity. Brazil rejoined in effect that the 1 ailed States Minister might leave its hos pitable shores whenever it pleased bis con venience; whereupon General Webb took hi 3 passport and prepared to sail. Bur, to the honor of our flag, the Minister was po litely recalled two hours before he expected to go—thanks first to the stentorian tone of our spirited representative, thanks second to what may be called- the moral power of our Government. Cuban Matters. WASHINGTON, June 18th JSG9. ij°- r 6013)6 ays several prominent Cubans, holding official relation to the revolutionary government of Cuba, have been in Wash ington and had interviews with the Presi dent and several members of the Cabinet and prominent Senators, and the assurances given them of sympathy with the Cubans iti their struggle, render practical aid to the cause, gives their representatives in this city much satisfaction. They state that a government agent will be sent to ascertain the strength and prospects of the revolution ists, and if favorable in their opinion, the belligerent rights of the Cubans will be roc ogmzed by the government. A ™KEE MASTED schooner was built in Lake \\ innebago, Wisconsin, brought thence to Dubuque a cargo of lumber, and irom Dubuque to St. Louis 6000 bushels of oats t here to take on board a cargo of wheat for New Orleans, to be employed afterward in the coasting trade between that port and other ports on the Gulf of Mexico. The building of such a vessel, more than 30(10 miles from the sea, in a region where timb< r is inexhaustible and the subsistence of the laborer cheap, is a signal illustration of the value of the vast iron system of our coun try. and hints at the possibility of creating a flourishing business in ship-building in the very heart of the North American conti nent. A CCRIOOB CASE.—A gentleman from! Estill county informs the .Richmond Regis-! ier that there is now living in that county a gentleman who has an intersting daughter about ten yftirs of age. Whilst the child is of a conversant turn, and chats freely with the other members of the latnily, she has never spoken to her father, although divers means have been resorted to make her do so. When questioned by her mother as to ber singular treatment of her father, her only answer ia that she has tried to speak to him, but finds it an impossibility. The father is much attached to her, and her singular conduct is a source of great trouble ■ to liirn. SENATOR MORTON'S oration at Gettys burg on July 4 will be "on the progress of liberty in the world during the last ten years. " The inclusion of the world is j>o litio; it enables the orator to skip his own land w.tb ease. As Mr. Beechcr is an nounced to deliver the prayer, advertised along with the proceedings Tike all the rest, it is certain that Buffalo's endeavor to get him for that day must be abandoned. A Woman Rousted Alive. A startling and fatal case of burning oc curred yesterday afternoon in this city, shortly after 5 o'clock, at Hcrdie Row. Mrs. Susan Douglas, a widow woman, em ployed as a domestic in the house of Dir. James Bennett, attempted fo hasten the kindling of a fire by pouring coal oil from a can upon it. The burning fluid cuniuiuni cated with the can and the latter exploded, scattering the contents over the woman's clothes and the room. With her clothes in flumes, the affright ed woman ran up stairs and into the room of Mrs. Bennett, who was seriously ill, and At the same time was the only other occu jiant of the house. Mrs. Sennett was so terribly frighlened.'that she sprang from jhe bed and rushed to the window in the rent part of the house, with the apparent "mention of precipitating herself through it r n order to escape. Mrs. Douglas had only 1 as.-ed inside the door when she fell pros " 'nted to the floor. The oil that had been scattered about on ' tc lower floor set fire to the wood work; " is, and the flames above, and the screams ' the expiring woman, brought the neigh ' irs to the rescue. But assistance came ' D late. The poor woman was so severely ' rned, that she died in a few moments.

Having for four year* past ial>orc<i to improve and enlarge the ISQI IBEH and to so fill it with the latest news that our people would have little or no need of any other paper, we have found that one of the chief difficulties in our way has been that of getting a sufficient number of subscribers to pay the expenses necessarily incurred in mak ing a county paper what it ought to be. Though the Isgi irtEit has a larger number of subscribers than any other paper in the county, it still has but little more than half what it ought to have to justify us in ibo outlay necessary to keep it up to the standard at which we have steadily aimed. The IxqeißEß will continue to be the exponent hnd advocate of a thorough-going Republicanism, find of retrenchment, economy and reform in the administration of the affairs of county, state and jhution. It will also, as usual, contain a larger jtmount of late news and carefully selected gener al reading matter than any other paper in this Congressional District. An important political campaign is just about to begin, involving tho election of a Governor, supreme Judge, State Senator, Member of the -cgislaturo, and a full county ticket. The State md District tickets are of the highest importance a there will be a new apportionment made at the I uxt Session of the Legislature. With such an j uportant campaign before us, it is highly desira- I to to put the IXQCIRER in tho hands of every [ lopublican in the county. We therefore call up ' 01 our friends to help us put it at once into tho ■ hsids of as many of our people as possible.

The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys, is derived from its cures, many of which are truly marvelous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease, where the system seemed saturated with corrup tion, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofu lous affections and disorders, which were aggra vated by the scrofulous contamination until they were painfully afflicting, have been radically cur ed in such great numbers in almost every section of the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and un felt tenant of the organism undermines the con stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases, without exhibiting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be sud denly deposited in the lungs or he-art, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by 'eruptions on the skin, or feul ulcerations on some part of the body. Ilence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sartaparrilla is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following complaints generally find immediate reiicf, and, at length, cure, by the use of this SARS APARILLA; St. Anthony** Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Klit um, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous af fections of the muscular and nervous systems. Those painful diseases, Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous mat ters in the bloody yield quickly to it, as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflamation of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they often do, from the ranking poisons in the blood. This Sarsaparilia is a great restorer for the strength and vigor of the system. Those who are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and Troubled with Nervous apprehensions or Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of Weakuess, will find immediate relief and convin cing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
