Shall Wo Carry Vennsylrania Xcxt Fall I Under this head tho Lancaster Intell igencer appeals earnestly and eloquent ly to tho Democratic Stato Convention to give us candidates who aro eminent ly qualified and therefore proper men to bo nominated for Auditor nnd Sur veyor General. Wo fully agrco with tho Intelligencer In all that It says, nnd especially do wo endorse Its emphatic declaration that no man is lit to bo noml- natcd for .Auditor General who seeks the office. When., great emergencies llKo the present' exist, small men, all aspirants, should stand aside, and allow tho Convention' to select a candidate with a solo view to success, and fitness as tho special and allimportnnt prelimi nary to success. Tlio Intelligencer says: Shall wo carry Pennsylvania next Fall? That Is a question which the coming Stato Convention must decide. Much, very much will depond upon the character of tho candidates. A mistake in the selection of our nomlneo for Aud itor General may easily convert all out fair prospects of success Into assurances of defeat. Tho office of Auditor (Inner. al Is ono of decided importance, and the peopie ui uusoiau) are just now in such u peculiar mood, that some littlo thing in the political history or the personal character of the candidates may deter mine whether a Democrat or a Repub lican shall be elected. The Democracy must put forward one oi ineir very Desi men ror Auditor Gen eral. Ho must bo no political hack with a battered reDutatlnn. Un mint' above all things elso, be a man of 'the most unquestioned and unquestionable iiueeruy a pure, conosc, wgn-mlnaed gentleman. Suppose, for Instanco.somo man who has won for hlmaelf an nun. vlaulo reputation In tho Stato Leglsla-I luruBuujiiu uu nominaieur uoea any ono suppose ho could bo elected ? .For such a ono It would be Impossible to rally tho Democratic party, and tho many Republicans who are now ready to unlto with us would bo repelled nnd driven back Into the" ranks of that or ganization which thoy aro disposed to abandon, Tho character of their candi date for Auditor General may very readily make a difference of ten thous and votes to the Democratic party at tho coming State election j and may, so far as this great Btato goes, decido tho Presidential contest against us in ad vance. Thero must bo no blunder committed In this Important matter. Delegates must go to llarrlsburg, for onco, prepar ed to lay asldo their personal preferen ces. Iv o m.'i should bo voted for meroly tecause ho Is a good fellow wltii a pleas ant way of soliciting support. Tho fact that a man has been laying plaus and pulling wires to securo tho nomination lor Auditor General ought to bo con sidcred a very strong argument against him. The office. Is peculiarly ono not to bo eagerly sought. Tho sala ry is not large, and the duties aro such aa ought to engage a man's whole timoand atten tion. It is cmnhatlcnllv'hn nllten whlrOi ought to seek tho man instead of being sought after. If thero bo Democrats who lmaglno that wo shall carry this Stato next Full without a sovero struggle, wo tell them very plainly that thoy aro much mis taken.

Tho Heading Gazette acknowledges "that cheating nt elections has been carried on to a fearful extent of late," but Indulges tho comforlAblo hopo that it will be put down by tho CourtB of Justlco nnd Is still Indisposed to resort to measures of fundamental roform for Its repression. Its "consorvntlsm" Is Incorrigible It has no confldenco In offectlvo changes of any sort for putting down notorious ovlls, but holds fast to tho Imperfect remedies which havo al ready been proved to bo Insufficient. Tho Gazette has antecedents a histo ry nnd an 'established character which recommended Its utterances to public attention and respect. But In Its new rolo of protection of wrong nnd oppo nont of all change, It does Injustice to Itself nnd imperils Its fiiluro useful ness. It has for sonio years past nnd it will contlnuo to bo for years to como, a prin cipal business and n duty of tho Democ racy to opposo tho unconstitutional, reckless and profllgato policy of tho Re publicans. Jiut ours Is not a party of mcro opposition nnd must not bo mado such. No great party can subsist upon mero grumbling and antagonism to all progress. It must advanco with tho ago and exhibit its capnclty for useful ness by grappling, with nil now ques tions and rosolving them upon their merits. It must not confino Itself to saying "No I" upon every posslblo question, and placo Itself stolidly and uniformly In tho way of all improve ment. Upon tno question of a Convention to reform the Constitution of this State, tho Gazette will pursuo its own courso and wo shall pursuo ours. 'But a Con vention will como and ought to come, nnd that right speed! ly, in'ordcr to cut off or curb most notorious nnd deep rooted nbu3es In our political system. Our great corporations requiro strong checks which a Convention only can proposo and tho peoplo apply. In Illi nois and Michigan rccontly, by .Con ventions, most valuable restraints up on corporations havo been lmposod and wo should havo such, or still better one, without delay. Tho election of Stato Treasurer, with all IU eorruptlvo influence, should bo taken away from the Legislature. Tho annual choleo of that olllcor has becomo an intolerable scandal nnd a fruitful sourco of profiigate Intrlguo and mal administration. Who can tell at this moment how tho surplus two millions of dollars In tho .Treasury aro being used or misused; in fact how much of prlvato profit Is being mado out of tho monies of tho peoplo? Tho Constitu tion places tho election of Stnto Trcas urcrln tho Legislature and it must bo amended in thnt particular beforo wo can havo financial reform. Tho demand for restraints upon spo clal and local legislation is almost uni versal throughout tho Stato, nnd it Is as Just nnd proper as it is general. Con stitutional amendment nlono can securo it. But 'Electoral Reform is also impera tively demanded by tho public Interests and cannot bo long postponed if our Republican system of government Is to bo maintained. Our popular elections nro deeply Infected with corruption, as tho Gazette admits, nnd palpably they rcduco injustlco to a system In their disfranchisement of largo numbers of thopooplc. Their purity, vigor, use fulness and permanence depend upon their amendment, and their amend ment can only bo mudo thorough and complete by tho Interposition of tho peoplo themselves. Thero need bo no fears entertained that a Convention will fix upon (ho peoplo nny unwlso or improper amend- meut. In both tho Convention bills now pending In tho Legislature it is carefully provided that one-third of tho Convention may requiro tho separato submission to tho peoplo of any amend ment proposed by tho Convention. Thu3 a distinct and separato VQto will bo secured upon any controverted ques tion of change. Howover excellent tho Gazelle may regard Conservatism, it can not success fully maintain that thero is virtue in all opposition to reform, or that chang ing circumstances do not demand chango of laws and practices. If it did, with nil Its other merits, It would stand condemned before any tribunal of hon est Judgment. If such is consorvntlsm its very namo will bcc6mo justly odious and detestable to tho people. Our nmiablo cotamporary will under stand that wo strongly object to subsld- lug Into tho position or attitude of tho former Whig party beforo tho country as a party of obstruction under tho cuphoncous namo of Conservatism. Tho Gazette'i observations upon tho frco vote as applied to the making of nominations aro evidently put forth without duo reflection. Tho rule of nomination in this county glvo full ef fect In tho choice of delegates to County Conventions and wo havo no moro doubt of its salutary effect than wo havo of Its Justlco. By it every considerable fraction or Interest of tho party Is fully represented and tho volco of tho real majority necessarily controls. Tho power of ovcry phaso of wrong-doers Is destroyed and tho people will effect ually control tho selection of their offi cers at every stop. Thero is no placo for dishonesty In tho plan It is ruled out becauso renderod impossible, , The now party Ju3t organized InCIn clnnati, and other western towns, Is composed altogether of dissatisfied Ro publicans, who cannot remain longor with tho party of ''moral progress." Its cardinal principles aro general amnesty, tarni for revenuo only, civil servlco ro form, and early resumption of spoclo payments. In each of theso particulars it puts itself In antagonism to tho pre vailing centlmcnt of tho Republican party. Tho now movement appears to crcato oxcitcmont in tlio Republican ranks, nnd Is only another ovidenco of tho disintegration going on In tho party all over tho country. Ex-Secretary Cox Is ono of tho leadem of tho move ment, and ho Is well Supported by a largo number ofnamta,,all hailing from tho Republican ranks. THE COLUMBIAN Connecticut Election. Upon receipt of tho first returns from Connecticut Republican raised n cry of victory nnd tholr rejoicing was tumul tuous 1 li seemed probable, for Connect icut has bcon a wavorlng Stato for tho last 30 years.. Last year tho Democrats carried It by about 700 majority, but hcrotoforo whllo mon only could vote. This year over 1000 ncgroo votes wero added to tho Republican strength; being sufficient to ovcrbalnnco tho Democratic majority of last year. Notwithstanding nil this, however, Gov English, Dom ocrnt, is roolecled Governor and tho wholo Democratic Stato llckot is also elected. Two Republicans nnd ono Democrat aro elected to Congress. Tho other district is very closo aud In doubt. In the last Congress tho Bepubllcans had thrco mombcrs and tho Democrats one. Tho LVglslaturo is very close, but owing to an unfair apportionment Is probably Republican. In nny caso thero Is not much signifi cance In tho result of an election In n Yankee State. If tho Democrats over triumph in tho Nation It must bo In opposition to them nnd over Now Eng land Interests and Ideas. Connecticut aud Now Hampshire aro not so grossly ynnkco In their Ideas ns tho other New England States, nnd may possibly sub mit to regeneration, but hopo in that direction Is rather forlorn. Kn Klnx Klitn. In view of tho fact that tho Rspuhlt can leaders havo determined to ralso a huo and cry about tho Ku Klux and thereby If posslblo oxclto nnd fool " tho Northern mlnd"that Is, such portion of tho Northern peoplo as nro supposed to bo sap-headed It may bo well enough to glvo somo account of thoso who nro so entitled. What tho words aro derived from is of no value, as thoy havo no In trinsic meaning. Somo say they are an Imitation of cocking nnd protended at tempt to flro off a musket or other un loaded gun. Others nscrlbo them to n corruption of a rebel war cry, and others again to tho nolso superstltlously sup posed to bo mado'by demon, especially that species which particularly hauut negroes. In their first phases, tho Ku Klux wero simply experts, generally mounted, who dressed In ghostly habili ments, nnd by this means and dexterous uso of phosphorus and magic nnd dark lanterns, frightened tho thloving no groes lot loose by tho war, who nightly prowled around for plunder, to their dons or homes. After a tlmo, however, all lawless characters camo to bo called Ku Klux, and to nssumo tho garb whon It suited their convenience. Thcso characters havo ho political party nfflni ties, or belong to all, parties, nnd aro of all colors, nationalities, sentiments and purposes. Tlio depredations of thowholo of them, iu any given territory, nro not more extensive than thoso in an equal amount of territory itnd population In many northern localities, and aro as completely within tho roach and power of Stato authority. All the fuss and blather abont them and their crimes Is only political clap trap, avowedly and palpably gotten up to influenco votes In favor of tho Radicals at tho ensuing Presidential election, aud ho must bo a soft soul Indeed who can bq influenced In his voto by such means. The Democratic Press Thero is no hotter ovidenco of tho good health of n political party, or Its growing strength, than Is afforded by tho condition of its newspaper organs. Lately wo havo had frequent occasion to notico tho improvements mado by our cotcmporarles, by now typo as well as by enlargements. Prosperity alone would lnduco thcso improvements, nnd thoy aro therefore posltlvo ovidenco of tho increasing strength and growing power of tho Democratic party. Theso remarks aro induced by tlio ap pearance of tho Gettysburg Compiler upon our tablo printed with entirely now typo. It' is how ouo of tho hand somest, ns It has long been ono of the ablest, Democratic papers printed In this or any other Stato. It deserves tho vigorous support of tlio Democracy of that section of tho Stato and is a credit to them as well as to its publishor. As tho editor, Mr. II. J.

Ho says thero is uo disturbance, in the Stnto which tlio civil authorities cannot easily suppress, nnd that uo disorder oxlsts, except at ono or two points along tho border.

Marshal M'Maiion, tlio favor ite General of Napoleon, is now" commander-in-chief of the latter forccs.and as ho is tlio ablest of French Generals ho will no doubt triumph over all oppo sition, and porhnp3 tho government that now employs him also.

Tho Radical bill passed by tho Houso is very objec tionable In somo features but in somo others Is respectable. Wo linvo hopo that thero nro honest men enough In both Houses to pass n fair bill.

On tho 29th ult., tho nrgument of tho nttorules of tho Railroad companies, tho O-ol op erators nnd tho Miners commenced. Mr. 0. B. BnocKWAY, of this place, opened tho nrgument on behalf of tho Miners, His speech Is highly common dod by tho Hnrrlsburg press and by nil who hoard It. Tho Telegraph gives tho following account of tho discussion, to wit ! "Tlio first speaker was Mr. Brockwny. ottornoy for tho miners, who opened tho caso, as wo thought, very properly, by a referenco to thoorlglnnl resolution under which tho subject now beforo them was referred to them. Ho Btated In plain languago that tho resolution ns adopted by tho Senate, called simply upon tho Governor and Attorney Gen eral for Information iu regard to tho action of certain railroads, nnd whether they had not violated their chartered franchises by demanding exorbitant rates of freight on coal transported over their respectlvo roads. Tho Governor and Attorney General had very promptly nuswered tho In quiry, nnd their rwpcctlvo messages had been referred to tho Judiciary Commltleoof tho Senate. Tho question of tho miners who might havo refused to work on certain terms dictated to them by tholr employers, had nothing to do with tho mil question beforo thoni ; n wrong committed by ouo par ty would not juitlfy tho committal of another wrong by another parly. Mr. H. then gave a historical outline of tho respective charter) under which some fifteen or twenty different rail roads wero brought Into oxlstonco.most of them now operated under various largo corporations and different n.unej. From tho f.tcts presented It was plain that n number of theso roads havo vio lated tho plainest provisions of tho charters under which thoy aro operating to-day. Another bold charge was also mado anil sustained by ovidenco, that those railroads havo defrauded thoSlato out of thousands of dollars annually by making f.ilso returns to tho Auditor General of their net profits upon which an annual tax Is assessed. Tho remarks of Mr. Hrockway wero plain, nnd nt times eloqiront nnd very damaging to tho railroad companlos, who, from his standpoint, were placed in a precarious situation if tho Attorney General should proceed against them. Mr. Lamberton, of this city, opened tho caso on behalf of tho railroad com panies, nnd Justified their conduct by tho frequent strikes Inaugurated nnd continued by tho Miners' Association, without attempting to nrguo tho real question presented to tho committee Mr. Gowon, President of tho Reading railroad company, spoko for nearly two hours, eloquently, In behalf of tho cor poration ho represents. Ilo attempted to answer tho damaging allegation of Mr. Hrockway, as regards the violation of tho charters of somo of tho railroads mentioned, nnd maintained that tho Reading railroad, havlns boon char tered prior to tho year 1833, nt which tlmo tho amendments to tho Constitu tion wero ndopted, was not subject to It, nnd that tho company was not limit ed to any stipulated sum to bo charged as freight transported in tholr own cars but ho admitted that tho company could chargo but four cents and n fraction por mllo on coal stripped in individual cars over this road." Tui llio Cjluulblnu. The I.'iliicallonnl Facilities of 'Orauirctlllc. Many subjects havo claimed the nttcn tlon of writers, and among tho most worthy of theso Is Education. Man Is potentially n powerful being, but real ly this only when tho latent powors of ills being nro developed by n thorougn education. How well is tho word Edu cation adapted to express tho thought which it is designed to communicate, It is compounded of tho two Latin words f, out, and dttco, to lead. Edu cation ns it wero leads tho latent pow ers of man from their dormant stato in to real existence. God in ids goodness has endowed us with physical, intellec tual, social nnd moral powers. Man is therefore complete in himself only when thcso different powers of his bo Ing nro dovelopc-d or led forth. Wo generally speak of such n man as n whole or complete man, but If ho Is de ficient in ills education ho is n man on ly in part. How many of our fellow- pedes aro deficient in tho formation of their bodies. Ono ha3 l03t a leg, anoth er an arm, aud another is minus an eye. Theso unfortunato oiioj aro qulto numerous. Thoy awaken our sympa thy. But how many moro aro deficient In tho development of their spiritual being. Wo seo many such cripples nnd havo looked upon them as objects of profound pity. My readers aro un doubtedly all acquainted with a young matvtwhom wo may deslgnnto as Mr. A. Ho 13 of fine appearance, is in good cir cumstances, enjoys good health and lsu moral young man ; docs not swear, or drink ; and if you please does not oven roll tho quid. Ho Is possessed with all thcso good qualities. But also tho la dles think thnt ho is not sociable. Bo- Ing very bashful and his actions ox tromoly mechanical, ho is utterly holp less in society. And this defisiency in his social training finally dooms him an unwilling cxiloto bachelorhood. A certain Mr. B. Is living a retired life. Being qulto sociable, moral, and a very consistent member of tho church ho Is a man of somo very good parts. Aud yet tho old gentleman is deficient In ono very important mattor, nnd that is intelligence. Not being ablo to read and havlug attended but fow lecturos, ho Is deprived of thnt good sourco of pleasure which Is afforded by tho read ing of tho Bible, history and periodi cals. I doubt very much If ho knows nny thing about tho lato Franco-Prussian war nnd what is now being snid about htm, Ho is not ablo to hold an lntolll gent conversation with his neighbors upon any popular topic of the day. And tills is not nil, his want of intelligonco lias mado him tho dupo of suporstltion which, you know, Is tho offspring of Ignoranco. Ho bollovos In many super stitious signs, spook stories and tlio vis ibility of Imaginary spectres, Wo will clto tlio reader to ono moro caso of educational deficiency.

Her parents, Instead of hearing tho charming volco of n tender daughter In giving utternnco to muslo's swcot melo dies, henrs nothing but tho muttering voice of giddiness nnd affectations whllo tho company who may bd favoring them with n visit, nro never there en tertained by tho harmonious strains of n well managed instrument. Thus do mestic llfo with nothing suitnblo lo break up Its monotony Is a lonely path through n barren wnslo with no flowers to adorn and beautify It. Tims Miss 0. is n lady only In part. And yet how many aro ladles and gentlemen only in part. Thoy nro to bo seen In every community, Wo therefore seo tho 1m- portanco of having nil tho powers of our being properly dovoloped. Espe cially should parents desire nnd labor for n thorough education of their chil dren In order that thoy may nrrlvo at full manhood nnd womanhood. But do you nsk, Whcro can such education nl facilities bo found ? Wo answer, in ovcry State, in almost ovcry county, nnd particularly at Orangevlllo. Horo ore found all tho necessary facilities for a good academic courso which Is liccess ary to prepare ono for college or practi cal life. For tho culture of tho Intellect, this Academy offers advantages equal to nl most any otlier Institution of its kind in tho Stato. It Is conducted by teach ers of long cxporienco nnd acknowl edged competency. Uranches which properly belong to an Academic courso nro taught hero. Special attention Is paid to thostudy of orthography, gram mar, mathematics, sclonco, philosophy, tho German and tho dead languages. Wo havo had tlio pleasure of visiting tho school, and wero very favorably Im pressed with tho general deportment of tho pupils, tholr progress, and tho sys tem of teaching adopted by tho worthy professor and his lady. Tho physical culture of tho students has not been neglected. Tho Professor evidently knows tho advantago of con sulting their health. To this end ho has introduced gymnastic oxorclsosnnd such plays ns aro beat calculated to bring tho various parts of tlio body in to action. Nature has also favored this locality with means of health. Tho lo cation of tho Academy and of Orange vlllo is nt tlio South-west extremity of tho boaut'ful Nob Mountain. At tho foot of which flows tho limpid wators of FIshlngcreek. Tlio beautiful grovo which surrounds tho Academy building and shady banks of tho creek, afford delightful placo3 for.summcr resort and pleasure walks. Indeed this locality Is noted ns a healthy placo. Both soxos may equally share the boncfits of theso means of health. Duo attention is also paid to tho study of music. Tho Roard of Trustees has secured tho services of a lady teacher whoso natural talents and experience havo peculiarly adaptod her to fill this honorablo position. Iu this department attention is paid to both vocal and In strumental culture. Tho courso of In struction which this lady has adopted Is unquestionably a good ono. Tho ru dimentary principles aro first taught separately, and then follow tho various combination of thcso principles into tlio formation of connected music. In other words, sho first teaches them tho alphabet, nnd thon ascends as tho pro gress of tho pupil requires. This is tho only truo foundation for success in tho study of music. How many gifted la dles thero are who do not commence this study properly nnd nro therefore crippled in this branch; whllo others having n proper start becomo profi cient. Tho society with which tho student comes In contact nt thi place Is good. Wo may say ho comes in contact with two different elements of society. Tho students and their teachers form ouo element. When tho accomplishments of tho teachers and tho social culture of the moVo refined students nro brought to bear upon thoso whoso social powers are merely potential, the influenco for good Is great. Tho now student who is timid nnd bashful, coming in contact with Ids moro sociablo fellow-students aud his teachers, assimilates himself to their society and becomes in liko ninn nor sociable. Tho other element of society with which tho htudent conio3 In contact, is that of thocltlzans of Orangovlllo and vicinity. Tho peoplo of this placo with a few exceptions are strictly moral and generally professors of religion. Thoy at nil times aro willing to consult tho liapplne.ss.and convenience of tlio stu dent, nnd freely Invito him to share their social hospitality. Tho religious influence thrown around tho student is considerable Orango vlllo lias no less than four thoroughly established religious denominations: tho Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyteri ans and Reformed. Divino services are hold regularly on every Sabbath in tho uiuerciii cnurcuc3 0i mo pi ace. rsauuain Schools nro also in progress. During tho evenings of tho week several prayer-moo tings aro held by tho differ ent denominations. And if wo mistuko not, proper religious services aro held In tho Academy. Thus it Is qulto ovi dent that Orangovlllo has facilities for not merely a partial, but comploto cdu cation. Patrons havo improved tlio educational advantago of our vlllago in sending their sons and daughters there to school ; this Is ovldont from tho largo numbor which lias hitherto bcon In at tendance. A. II. Tau Manchester, Now Hampshire, Union, in tlio courso of an article upon tho recent election Iu that Stato, ro roarlcs: "Tho Democrats arocomln,' in to powor, anil aro coming to stay. Thero is not tlio least danger that thoy will ho displaced until they desorvo to bo." Thero nro many thliiLM that tho Domo crats will havo to guard against, to ena Wo them to succeed with honor to themselves and general good of tlio country. Wo havo passod through bo rlous trials, and tho natural Impulso Is favorablo to retaliation. This must bo avoided. Itctallatioii Is ono of tlio most mischievous sentiments that any party can entertain. It leads to excess, and dofeat, Tho great aim should bo to discard factious demagogues, and thoso who thrust thomsolvcs forward on extra professions of purity and largo promises, and placo mon forward who havo manifested flrmucss of purposo and persovoranco in what they duemed most righteous. Such men aro soldom vlndlctlvp. A BteutlAist adheronco to principle, guided by moderation and rospect for tlio rights of others, will strengthen tho party and mako It tho rallying point in all future time.
