taxation in this country is $17 per capita
per year. In England the rato is $11.79;
France $11.-11; Germany, $9.31; Austria,
$7.22. These figures take all the point out
of tbo usual Fourth of July speeches about
"tbo oppressed and tax-burdened people of
tho old world." Among other blessings con

Judge Kclley could bardly have anticipa
ted a titbo of the abuse that would be beaped
upon him by his sometime Hadical friends
for renouncing tbo vindictivo policy of bis
party toward the people of the South. The
latest is from tho Philadelphia Evening Ilul
retfn which describes him as a "moon-otruck
financier hankering after democracy." If all
the followers of Kclley'a financial views are
"moon-struck," there is a vast amount of
lunacy in tho Republican party. Patriot.
Tho chief .vgument of Republican paters
and speakers in support of their party is
that if tho Democrats get into power they
will inaugurate another rebellion. Tho on
ly rebellion which will receivo sympathy or
support from Democrats is a rebellion a
gainst fraud, extravagance, andgeneral cor
ruption. Such a rebellion has becomo a
public necessity, and will command the
sympathy and support of a vast majority of
the voters of tho country. Exchange,
Mrs. Lincoln, widow of President Lincoln,
has been adjudged insano by tho County
Court at Chicago, and will be placed in the
hospital at Hatavia.Ill. Tho caso came upon a
petition from her son, Hubert Lincoln, pray
ing for a test of tho question of her sanity.
AVhcn tho verdict was announced, Robert
took the hand of his mother affectionately,
and bhe exclaimed, "Oh, Robert, to think
that my son should ever have done this!"
The lady's insanity began at the time of her
husband's assassination.
Vico President Wilson fears the negro is
not sufficiently cared for and that his'condi
tion must be improved, whereupon the X. V
Times exclaims: What, improved again? A
great deal of money and some blood have
already been expended on these 'improve
ments'; and, as in tho case of a man who is
altering his house, wo bhould be glad to
know when the job is likely to bo finished.
Is it not almost time to think about tho de
sirability of improving tbo condition of tbo
whito man? Ho may ho inferior to the
biack, but still ho is a human being.

A correspondent of tho Erio Observer
thinks tho strongest of all candidates for
Governor would bo a man of unquestioned
Integrity and ability who had not worked
for the nomination or announced himself as
a candidate, and Inquires how this can be
brought about. We fully accord with the
correspondent, and suggest that the end can
bo attained as it was at Reading three years
ago. If tho same nomination shall be
made we belioro it would bo both tho best
aud tho strongest Kssible, having no Greeley
business to weigh it down now, but wo are by
no means sure it would bo acquiesced in by
tho gentleman most concerned.
President Grant did not begin hi political
career as an extreme man, but was looked
upon a entertaining liberal views, and wo
believo did down to a certain period. Hut
tho leading Radicals of his party forced him
into taking oxtremo measures with tho South
and among them nonewero inoro active than
WiUon and Kelley. Now these two worthies
havo both lett him ; the former is hobknob
blng with Hreckenridgo and other ox-Rebels
in Kentucky and Tennessee, while Kelley,
just relumed from tlif South, goes squaroly
back on his previous record, and declares ho
it eorry for all ho has done. Grant's sup
porters In tho bloody hlrt policy aro leaving
Jilm like rats deserting a sinking ship, and"
when the pld craft goes down he will bo tho
only ono ou board, How much credit wo
ahould give these deserters of their policy is
iiuothcr quektion, DyUtmn Jkmoorai,
"Crooks! Whiskey."
New terms have to bo Invented to de
icrlbo tho various frauds that are committed
under the Grant administration, so numer
ous havo they becomo. Among these Is
''crooked whiskey" that N, whiskey that
has gotten Into tho market without paying
tho rnvcnuo taxes upon It. Tho Secretary
of tho Treasury Is busily engaged In seizing
and coiifU'ating this wherever ho can find
It, and hundred of thousands of dollars
worth of it is already In the clutches or tho
government officials. Of course the dUtll-lo.-s
tiller powerful resistance to all this seiz
ure and confiscation of their property. They
have combined for mutual protection, club
bing together to ralo largo sums of money
lo conduct their defence, to buy off official
mil detectives, to appeal to tho courts, to
hire tho bet legal talent of tho land, to cor
rupt Congress and leading administration
politicians, &c, Ac. Tho fight will bo n
tremendous one, and will bring into requisi
tion all the ability nnd firmness of Secretary
Hristow. Xot only will ho hao to contend
against tho whiskey ring and its subsidized
allies, but he will havo to keep a constant
watch upon every employee of the govern
ment that i connected with tho business,
lct they bo corrupted and betray him. We
shall look with interest upon tho fierce strug
gle, and especially the caving of Radical
politicians. An honest man in the Treasury
has upset a host of their calculations. Grant
would like to remove him upon th'o demand
of the leading Radicals, but he dare not.
Tho Mining Strikers.
It is reported that tho strikers in the Le
high region have agreed to resume work,
on private terms, and that thnso In tho
Schuylkill region will not hold out much
longer. The blind leader. havo .made about
all out of tho business thero is in it in that
line and havo suddenly wilted. A published
L'tter of one of them Indicates very clearly
that they have been trying to farm both
sides. In tho mean time the workmen havo
been tho principal sufferers, with certain
loss and no posiiblo gain clear and stfrc from
the beginning. Let tlicso men so dispose
their votes a to tell with power against cor
porations and corporation candidates, and
they will then fight their oppressors with ef
fect. Any political organization of theirown
will bo abortive, but let them bo careful to
vote for candidates of tho principal parties
who arc known to bo hostilo to tho creation
or continuance of unncccsary corporations.
They will find none such on Republican
tickets, but they can givo control to that cle
ment of old fashioned Democracy that is
ever faithful to tho greatest good of the
greatest number and that do not believo in
blessing monopolies in order that tho latter
may confer!-second-handed blessing upon
other people.
New Candidate for President.
The Bloomsburg Republican is out for
Gen. Hristow as tho Republican candidate-
for President. Wo believe that our neigh
bor is entitled to tho credit of being the
first to namo him in that connection, but
what on earth put tho idea into its head that
tho Republican party -could afford to nomi
nate a man for that position who is pojses'i
ed of great ability, unbending in his integri
ty, nnd a genuine hater of plunderers, we
are at a loss to conceive. Such a nominee
would disband tho party, it most active pol
iticians would desert it liko rats running
from a burning bam, nnd instead of a thing
of life that party would bo left a mere skele
ton. We are curious to see how many votes
for the Republican's candidate were secured
by the delegates from this county in the Re
publican State convention. If all Jupiter's
thunderbolts were hurled into tho Repub
lican party i one shower they would not
knock the life out of it as quickly as the
lightning stroke of n man of Hristow's firm
ness, integrity and ability being nominated
for President by tho RaUical National con
vention 1
Erie city is becoming ambitious and has
tartcd up a second daily. It is without pol
itics and therefore professes independence
:is though a mulo without cars was therefore
more independent than u horso with that
useful and proper appendage.
A city of the size and importance of Erie
ought to havo at least two largo and well
supported dailies, and it will never take its
proper rank as a business placo until it has
them. It is a city of extraordinary com
mercial and speculative advantages, b ut
whenever these are set forth to strangers and
capitalists they ut once begin to inquiro for
thojiatur.il evidences of Bach facts, and first
among these inquiries "how many daily pa'
ners havo you?' The answer: one, now
two, and they only a sign that such ought
to exist, at onco end all further interest in
tho subject and Erio is left alone in its glory
by that crowd. There is immense wealth in
the city, that could support two first clan
dailies (ono never will bs supported any
wheie) and by Kivinir add largely to its
stores. Hut the subject Is out ot the usual
routine of business thinking, aud is theie
fore neglected. Well supported and credit-
nblo newspaper have more to do with tho
prosperity of any considerable town than any
other single branch of business.
Tho new Attorney General is making a
dash at Wahington, after tho fashion of
HrUtow. Ho is ridding tbo law department
and tho.servico of Williams' appointees and
oxprc-wes a determination to stop alt thicv-
lug. His department has heretofore been a
fruitful netit of pirates and a rich harvest
lies beforo tho new reformer.
Hut what doe all this mean? What is
Grant "'unloading" for? Is ho really prcpar
lug for a third term? Ho ha tolerated or
shut his eyes to the most outrageous stealing
for six years past. Now ho is deliberately
turning all tho thieves out of his Cabinet
and appointing able and honest men in their
places, who of course tako off tho head, of
their thicvinsr subordinate.. Hristow wa
tho first example, and in tho worst nest, and
now comes Plerrepont, in tho next worst. It
mean cither a third term or tho destruction
of tbo Republican party. Wo believo the
latter to bo the object. It is transparent that
Grant does not mean that another Republi
can shall succeed him.
Great Britain has, for a long time, been n
leading importer of foreign breadstuff, and
her demand for foreign eupplles, it is thought,
will steadily increase. During tho past twen
ty years the importation of cereals, compar
ed with tho British population, has grown
four-fold, and various internal changes in
tho Kingdom will continue this growth. The
tendency in working lands there Is to Increase
the surfaco ofpasturo land and to diminish
that cultivated in grain. This secures a
homo meat supply, and, at tho samo time,
Increases tho dependenco on foreign coun
tries for grain. Thus threo causes tho in
crease ol population, tho increased individ
ual consumption, and tho falling offln homo
production havo been in operation to mako
Grcut Britain tho best gralu market of the
world for the foreign producer. At present
one-third tho breadstuff consumed there aro
Imported, tho Unltod States and the Black
Sea provluces being tho chief sources of sup-
I1'.
Oddities of tho School Law.
Tho Idiosyncrasies of school directors, a
well as tho dlsiinlformlly that results from
tho present ytem of fixing salaries for tho
I'hoid superintendents, nro iltowu by the
list of county superintendent recently elect
ed , and tho salaries respectively voted them.
McKean couutv. for Instance, with only 88
schools, pays Its superintendent $2,000 per
annum; whilst Dauphin with 201J schools,
pays only $800. Elk eooutv, with M schools
pays $1,000; whlNt Northumberland, with
22o schools, pavs only $800. Forest county
pays the sinalleit salary. $500, but has 39
schools only. Schuylkill pays the highest
salary, $2,2ii0, aud fia -120 schools. Lan
caster has tno largest number of schools,
f32 Cameron, tho smallest number, 32.
orlc county, with .107 schools, pavs It su
perintendent only $1,200: whilst rk bor
ough, with 33 schools, pays Its superintend
ent $1.800 1 Tioga Is tho only county that
elected a lady superintendent, named Miss
Sarah .1. Lewis. Thero are 277J schools in
tho county, nnd tho salary was fixed at
$1.7fi0 a right snug berth for a lady. Lew-
mmmvi JJcmocral,
II is proper to say that tho McKean conn-
cy salary is simply n steal, and tho number
of schools Is no criterion by which to judge
of tho adequacy of salary, a superior qual
ification may bo required in certain locali
ties. The prostitution of a woman In lio-
ga county to the performance of duties com
mon aud proper only to tho male sex is ono
of those extravagances that frequently occur
in senii-ynnkce communities.
Tho plan of fixing the salaries of County
Superintendents by the votes of the Direct
ors who elect them may not bo the best In
the world. Nobody ever thought so. The
plan of electing them by tho Directors may
not be tho best. Perhaps nobody ever
thought It wa. When the act of 1851 was
drawn, its original design was that tho Coun
ty Superintendent should all be appointed
by the State Superintendent and their sala
ries fixed by him. But there was a severe
struggle in tho Legislature upon tho ques
tion of cstnlisliing the County Superintend
ency, and it wa finally carried only by
yielding to the caprices of tender-footed gen
tlemen who could only do their duty when
it was well buttered and basted bo that it
would slip down the public throat without
causing irritation. Hence tho slight evils
now complained of.
Tho Governor and Council of New IIamp-.
shire have decided that tho votes cist for
Natt" Head. Republican candidate for State
Senator from the Second district aro to bo
treated as blanks, claiming that his name-is
Nathaniel. They also throw out tho vote
cast for tho Prohibition candldato for State
Senator, declaring him ineligible on account
of not having been aresidontof tho State a
long a tno law prescribes lilts gives tho
two disputed seats in the Senate to the Dem
ocrats. These decisions aro in strict accord-
anco with tho law of tho State. Similar
questions will anso as to tho eligibility and
election oi several members oi tno lower
House, so that it is probable that tho Demo
crats will have a legal majority in tho Leg
islature, and RobertSj the Democratic candi
date for Governor will bo chosen to fill the
office. In view of all theso facts tho great
Radical victory in New Hampshire lias
dwindled down to considerable, less than
nothiug. lixchange'
If our yankeo friends retain present con
trol of tho unimportant little State by fol
lowing the foul practice of tho Republicans,
they will richly deserve defeat hereafter.
The men who voted for "Natt." Head as
clearly designated Nathaniel Head a those
who spelled the name out in full, and if a
Democrat obtains and assumes a seat pro
cured under such circumstances, ho is a das
tard. Throughout the life of tho Republi
can party it has established an nbundanoo of
precedents of this character, but it is not for
Democrats to follow dishonest and dctcsta-
bio precedents, but to crush and despise them.
No true Dcmoctat will bo guilty of any such
thing.
Hon. Jesso D. Bright, formerly a distin
guished member of the U. S. Senato from
Indiana, who served three term in that
body and wa expelled in tho fourth in order
to givo the Radicals u two-thirds majority,
died in Baltimore, last week, aged about C'J
years. Upon a vote being taken on tho ex
pulsion resolution, it failed for want of the
requisite majority. Tho next morning Sen
ator Sumner, who never possessed any no
tions of manly honor, demanded that Sena
tor Morrill, of Maine, who was paired with
an absent Democratic Senator, should vote.
Morrill was willing to violato an engage
ment of honor that had been held sacred and
inviolato in tbo history of Congrcs and
probably tbatof any deliberative body in the
world, and perpetrated tho meanest personal
act that a human being is capablo of. Tho
two-thirds majority was thus mado up and
Mr. Bright left tho scat ho had so long hon
ored and tho body to which ho wa a credit.
It may be noted by tho curious that neither
Mr. Sumner nor Mr. Morrill ever drew a
healthy breath afterwards.
The Peach growers of Jersey and Dela
ware havo concluded after all to let tho pub
lic enjoy a crop of that delicious fruit, iu an
ticipation at least, but they will raise bomo
sort of cry of failure beforo they begin to
patronize tho market. In this region wo be
lievo thero will bo a good averago crop,
though tho trees havo suffered from tho ex
tremo cold of tho past winter. There will
not bo nearly so many peaches in number as
tho trees often bear, but probably there will
be as many bushel and tho fruit finer, if
tho season to come bo favorable.
Trees that aro badly frozen, or tho email
bearing shoots of which are badly killed
along tho main limbs, should bo severely
cut back the half of the old limb taken off.
They will then throw out nn abundance of
new healthy shoot that will bear well next
season, and the top of the tree will bo im
proved, a well ns tho quality of tho fruit
Trees that aro treated iu that way aro health
ier, live longer, and look nud bear better
than those that are suffered to run to long
branches nnd thus made to bear only nt tho
extreme ends of bending and broken limb.
It i quito curious, but is nevertheless
true, that whenever a prominent Republican
get an attack of Presidential fever ho posts
off to the south, makes honeyed speeches to
tho peoplo there, and return homo with
vigorous denunciation of tho carpet-baggers,
condemning the force policy towards tho
south, and declaring emphatically that thero
i no occasion or opportunity for tho uso of
military thero for any fair purpose, and that
all is peace and good will among tho south
cm people, black and white. Grant set the
example. Greeley followed, and now we.
have Vico President Wilson nnd Congress
man Kclley going through tho samo per
formance. Thanks to the ordinances, of nn
turo they can not all bo President, even
though a little truth-telling be lnducive to

Thero aro probably two thousand Demo
cratic voters In this county whoso names aro
not on our subscription list Many of them
tnko no paper at all. After each election
sorcral hundred Democrat can bo counted
who wcro not at tho poll. It I. mainly to
tho nou-rcadlng class of Democrats tho non

paper should go into ovory Democratic fam
ily in tho county If not ours, some other
rellablo Democratic journal. That tho party
may reap the benefit of n wider dissemina

Tho Centennial anniversary of a declara
tion of Independence by tho peoploof Meek
lcnbcrg county, North Carolina, ono hundred
years ago on tho 19th of May, wa duly cel
ebrated by tho usual ceremonies on such oc
casions. Tho most patriotic and fraternal
speeches wero mado to a mas of fiO.000 peo
ple. The Mccklenbcrg declaration Is chiefly
rciuarkablo for having preceded that of
tho Continental Congress on tho -1th of
July, 1770, and for being couched in part in
almost identical language. Mr. Jcll'erson
declared ho had never seen or heard of the
Mccklenbcrg declaration nt tho time he pre
pared tbatof succeeding -lib of July, yet the
almost exact repetition of the languago of
tho former in tho latter was undeniablo and
remarkable. Tho incident, however, serves
to establish the fact tftut the patriots of that
day, were actuated by a common impulse and
by the same reasons.
Hqiuhliran State Nominations.
Tho Radical Ring convention to make
nominations for the Republican party met
at Lancaster on Wednesday. There are few
delegate in it that were elected by convent
tions, and the peoplo of that p.arty therefore
have no voico in it deliberations. The
slate, however, wa mado week ago and the
convention i merely to confirm it Hart
ranft for Governor nnd Rawlo for State
Treasurer. Such men ns Hill Mann, Harry
White and John Cessna are tbo ring masters,
performing under Gen. Cameron's orders.
There will bo a private struggle about the
third term business. The rincster are
afraid they cannot succeed without adopting
a resolution in opposition to it, and the Fed
eral office-holders say they shall not succeed
if they do. Tho result will bo si bundle of
false pretences doctored into such shape as
is supposed will deceive most people. '
The Latest. Tho Ring programme, as
wo learn by telegraph, wa smoothly carried
out. Cessna, (tho Chorpenniiig thief abet
tor in Congress) wa chairman, and lugubri
ous Harry Wiiite President. Hnrtranft was
re-nominated for Governor, nnd Rawlo for
Treasurer. As a blind the ring scattered on
the first ballot, but on tho second the vote
stood thus :
Kawle, ring favorite. - - - 148
Strang, ring, but McCluro also - - 72
Stewart, Tariff Andy's son, - - 18
Wilson nnd Fnhncstock - - - 11
It will be seen every district was fully rep
resented, the ring never leaving n stone un
turned. Tho third term was repudiated, but
at this writing wo havo not been tho resolu
tion. Tho rain of Tuesday, so greatly needed in
this particular locality, no doubt extended
over the State, or the greater part of it, aud
if so thero is an end for tho present to the
mountain fires most probably for a year to
come.
It is to bo hoped the rain is yet in time
to save tho grain and grass. Both aro and
will bo backward, but as tho extraordinary
cold of spring kept them from growing at all
until an unusually lato time, thero is much
reason to believo that the warm and genial
rain of Tuesday, following upon several
very warm days, will yet bring them forward
in tho usual abundance. The summer crop
will now get a fino start, and ns May was so
very dry until near its termination, we are
of opinion that tho lato planting will be to
their advantage.
Wo believe tho fruit crop in till quarter
is safe and that fruit of all kinds will bo in
abundance. Tho peach crop may be n par
tial exception, yet trees that have been well
cared for will no doubt produce a considera
ble yield, and if the balance of tbo season
bo favorable, a largo ono of very superior
quality.
After all, wo havo not yet come to the be
lief that tho wisest of peoplo could them
selves fix up the weather so well as nature
does it.
Secretary Bristow is still prosecuting tho
whisky war with energy aud is daily assault
ing other works. Ho has been materially
reinforced by thenew Attorney Goner.il. who
is probably being set up as a rival for public
favor. Between tho two tho war will bo
vigorously prosecuted and whisky will How
in streams. A serious blow has just been
struck by the latter hero, In removing the
principal assistant left in office by Williams,
who is supposed to havo been in "cahoot"
with the whisky ring. Ho loaded nil the or
dinance with blank cartridges, but his suc
cessor is to load them witli the heated grapo
spoken of by Gen. Taylor at tho buttlo of
lieuna Vista I Tho whisky ring I already
demoralised and its army would retreat from
tho field if they knew a placo that would af
ford safety from their implacablo Iocs
Grant cooly smokes his segar amidst tho
struggle, as ho did at Appomatox, and is
gaily preparing for n summer campaign of
pleasure at Long Branch, not caring a spilth'
ercen what becomes of all tho whisky out
side of his cotlnge at that point and iu tho
cellars at tho Whito House. The war is fun
for tho Secretaries, nud promises them a
heavy crop of glory, but it is not either so
promising or agreeable to tho whisky men.

Bom) Fi.vAKCinns. Tho last Congress
imposed a tax of fifty millions of dollars on
the peopla to keep up ordinary expenses.
Now tho administration organs bave the
brazen impudenco to tell tho people that
Grant has reduced tho debt two and a half
millions of dollars during the month of April.
Well, suppose lie did after we gave him the
money; this.it tho end of twelvo months
will only amount to thirty millions. What
does "tho government intend to do with the
other twenty-seven millions wo have paid It?
Williams ha been turned out and perhaps
expense will now bo reduced, nnd tho
monthly reduction may sum up to tVtrce or
four millions per month. But to continue to
collect fifty millions and only pay twenty-
five or thirty millions, would bo a very Radi
cal joke on the taxpayers. Clearfield Repub
lican. In this State it has been held that the
penalty for usury, as against national banks,
is that prescribed by iho national banking
law, to tho exclusion of tho statuto of tho
State. In a New, York caso which has been
tried in the court of appeals, It is decided
that a national bank when it lends money
to a customer, does the act in a private ca
pacity, and the loan being thus a private
transaction between the bank and its deni
er, there is no ground to set up any claim to
exemption from Stato law. The usury laws
of the Stato of New York apply to all loon
made by national banks within its limits,
and tho usury provision of tho national
bank act can have force in thoso States only
where there is no usury law enacted by tho
State government. ILirrisburg Patriot.
Tho Sioux chieftain who aro at Washing

their Black Hills possesions on such easy
terms as did the original dwellers in Penn's
woods, with tho land upon which wo now

ate progenitors were, to swap an acre for a
dram, Indeed, they have developed a shrewd
ness for bargaining, and a propensity for
over-reaching those who would deal with
them, which equal, if they do not surpass,
the same qualities in more civilized and
guileful men. The government we aro told,
apprehends a great deal of trouble in treat

Tlio Secret Out.
That troublesome conundrum to a "largo
and respectable" portion of tho Republican
party, why tho President will not relievo
their anxiety about the third term, has been
solved by the Philadelphia Bulletin. Tho
reason is eminently worthy of Grant, and
the discovery is entirely worthy of tho Bul
letin. In fact, there is an eternal fitness
both in tlio organ that unfolds tho tale to a
gaping world and tho high official about
whom the tale is told that is charmingly re
freshing. But not to keop our readers wait-
ng wo proceed to summarize the Jlulletin's
discovery. Some timo in 1873, nfler the
New York Herald had, in "one of its dia
bolical moods," started the Cicsaronlan
sensation, certain Democratic politicians
(theyaroalwaysupto some rascality to pester
innocent Republicans) seeing that thero was
"millions in it" of political capital concoct
ed an ingenious plot to shut off the propensi
ty Grant ha to talk between drinks nnd ci
gars, and thus keep him from following tho
example set by Washington, Jefferson and
Jackson, and signifying to hi friends that
ho could not become a candidate for a third
election, To accomplish this nefarious pur
pose theso Democrat (it is a wonder they
wcro not Ku Klux or rebels) drew up and
sent to tho President an anonymous commu
nication, purporting to como from a sworn
band ot fanatical Republicans who in somo
of their earlier years had read Washington's,
Jefferson's nnd Jackson's memoirs. Iu it
they assured the man who had smoked his
cigar unmoved at Appomatox that they
had taken a solemn oath to assassinate him if
lie did not within ten days disavow his in
tention to bo again a candidate fortlie Presi
dency. Tints "threatened and insulted" the
President took a fresh cigar and swore by all
the blood shed to enfranchise tho "colored
man and brother" that ho would not open
his mouth, even if hi insultcrs should car
ry their diabolical threats into execution.
And ho hasn't, although more than two years
have passed sinco hi "ten days" of grace
were up, and he's alive yet. Erie Observer.
The manner in which delegates havo been
chosen to tho Republican State Convention
which met at Lancaster on Wednesday lias
excited much comment. In scarcely an in
stanco havo tho delegates been selected by
primary meeting or conventions of tho
party. A few members of the committees
of tho several counties havo assembled to
gether, mostly without notice, and have per
formed this work of choosing representatives
to tho Stato convention. Instead of being
in any just senso a convention of tho once
great Republican party of Pennsylvania this
convention will be n sort of Stnto commit
tco whoso members have been packed and
whoso work ha all been pre-arranged. But
tho most impudent example of this mode of
choosing representatives to tho convention
ha been given iu Luzerne county. Tho
county committee met in Wilkes-Harro tho
other day nnd appointed tho nino delegates,
two senatorial and seven representative, to
tho Lancaster convention, without a much
a saying, by your leave, to tho masses of
tho party. Luzemo county is divided into
eeparato senatorial and representative dis
tricts, each entitled to exclusive representa
tion. Tho several districts aro not permit
ted or do not take tho trouble to chooso their
delegates to tbo convention, but tho county
committee appoints tho whole nine of them
in a lump. Tho delegates from Allegheny
wore chosen in tho samo summary fashion.
When the members of tho Republican party
nro not allowed to elect their own delegates
to n Stato Convention, or when they do not
fycl enough concern in its welfare to hold
elections, but abandon tho duty nnd respon
sibility of appointing delegate to county
committees, such facts nrostrong indications
of tbo "dry rot" which lia seized that or

When tho Republican parly wa first or
ganized it had something to contend for
thoTubolition of slavery. The principle, If
principlo it could be called, was tho bone
and marrow of the new party. It succeeded,
not only in abolishing slavery but in making
voters and office-holders of the negroes
This accomplished, tlio Republican party
had nothing more to contend for nnd it
should have dissolved. But tho wily men of
tho arty whn'dcsiro to use it for their own
selfish purposes would sink tho Stato and
the people with it rather than givo up their
rotten party. They know and everybody
knows that our present distress nnd embar
rassment is owing to a want of statesman
ship and honesty, but what care thev? The
Republican parly is run for Simon Cameron
and his tools. They nro making money by

Day by day the rottenneis of tho public
service under the Grant administration de
vclops in somo new shape. The wholesale
seizures of distilleries and rectifying estab
lislimcnts at different points in tbo country
show that the whole revenuo department is
saturated with dishonesty. The frauds which
are being brought to light aro the fruit of
conspiracy between the whisky-ring and the
trusted officers of the government. Without
tho collusion of the latter the frauds woul
be impossible. In this wholesale inculpation
which involves million of dollars of loss to

lofty denial, to claim auy credit for expos

investigation. When punishment begins to
