IViinylvaiil.i In llitsiln,
We print an abstract of Gov. Curtln's let-
turo on Ituwlnon our first page. It Is well
worthy of perusal. It will bo observed that
fio fact i stated that the Ponnsylvanla-c'.ioul
system is practically adopted in Uula. In
reference thereto wo hnvo an liicuknt to re
late that Is Illustrative of tho care with
which examination Into detail of all tho
practices of other countries characterise the
llinslun government. While tho writer was
quietly seated about 1SG0 In the Executive
department ut llarrisburg, whero ho then
held olliclal position, his room was entered
by Dr. lhtrrowos(thoHui crlntendentof Com
mon Schools) and n stranger who was Intro
duced as an nltucho of tho llussiati diplo
matic Legation at Washington. Their bu
siness was stated to bo to inquire tho reason
lor tho adoption of certa n provisions of our
school law. After a Tew preliminary words,
tho writer was surprised by tho Itttsslun
drawing from ills pocket a pamphlet copy of
our school law and going through it section
by section, and frequently sentence by sen
tence, Inquiring tho reasons for their adop
tion, and noting all the answers on tho mar
gin in short hand. Tho explanation given
was that it was designed to educate tho chil
dren of tho serfs of Kussiu and that the
Pennsylvania school system had attracted tho
attention of tho government of that country
. . .i, f i
as tlio best in ino worm lor mo purpura mm
that it would probably be adopted, o had
often heard vaguely that it had been adopt
ed, but now wo have tho information direct
and po-itivo from Gov. Curtin that stlcli Is
tho fact. Pennsylvania justly stands at tlie
head of American States for educational fa
cilities atl'orded her sons and daughters, but
her own people will be the last to appreciate
the fact. Had they tho yankeo propensity
of egotism and for telf-gtoiilication it would
be otherwise.

Tho omission of the Kcpublican convention
(whether by design or indillerenco need not
now be inquired into) to make any mention
of tho Centennial celebration of 1870, seems
to havo buggested the idea of nominating
tho head and front of tho arrangements for
the celebration of tho great event as tho
Governor of the State in which it is to take
place. It would certainly bo appropriate
and greatly in aid of the success ot the cele
bration. The facts mentioned, too, would

were indicted by the Clearfield grand jury
for conspiracy and riot, because of their at
temots to Drcvent men from working. At
their own request tho trial was adjourned to
next term of court. They" gave bail to the
amount of fo.OOO each.
The citizens of Lock Haven contributed
one thousand three hundred dollars for the
people of Osceola, Clearfield county, whose
town was recently almost entirely destroyed
by fire. Tlio people ot Lick Haven havo
always been distinguished for liberality and
crcnernsitv. and thov are still foremost in
such works.
Every Radical State convention that re
solved against the third term indulged in
such terms of eulogy of Gen, Grant s admin
istration that his re-election must be take:
to be their earnest desire. Grant will looli
upon theso resolutions asdemanding his can
didacv for a third term, and that is what
they all mean.
Several leading 'ew York importing firms
havf, been indicted for smuggling immense
quantities of goods. From Canada alouo
is estimated that fifteen millions of dolh
worth of good nro annually smuggled into
this country. All this is a natural effect of
unreasonably high tariffs, which, liko all
nimressivo laws, are of advantairo only to
rascals.
Kt-Gov. Curtin is suggested as a candidate
for Ktfitn Senator in tho Centre. Clinton and
Clearfield district, to fill the unexpired term
nf Senator Wallace. P. -Gray Meek, of
Centre, and S. R. Pealo and A. J. Quigle
Esqrs,, of Clinton, all men of ability, are
al-o suggested.
Tho irreat railroad war lias been settled,
upon terms that are kept secret for tho pres

taxed to all possiblo extent, for rivl plun

will carry off tho lion's share of gain.
Slate Treasurer.
Col. Frederick E, Emblek, at present Sec
retary of tho L'lnibepn.iu's Etohango, and
nite nf the m ist cMi'lcnt business men In
Wllllnmspnrt, Is prominently brought for
ward for the Deiii'iiTttlc nomination for State
Treasurer. Col. Enblek sBrved with distinc
tion ns a soldier, ran', s first class as a business
man, Is a gentleman of unimpeachable per
sonal character, and a I) mncr.it of (Inn pur
pose and sincere ootivlotlou. Ills selection
is Its candidate would ha creditable to tho
Democracy, and would bo responded to by,
:i largo vote outside of the party in tho West
Urauch valley. His proverbial energy and
Integrity of character would bo an ample
guaranty of his elllelouey as an officer.
Objection has been raised to bankers as
candidates for tlio Trcnsurership, as the nat
ural bent of their minds would bo to make
use of any .surplus on hand for loaning pur
poses, and especially to bankers who havo
been dabbling in the State funds during the
corrupt administrations of lvcmblo and
Maekey. There Is force in tho objections
the latter being absolutely fatal. Col. Em
blck Is free from any such ontinglotuenl',
or any possible form of objection. Ho is
young, vigorous, of high and neiiorom im
pulses and possessos the roqnlite uervo for
any purpose, and would be R lies candidate
and officer.
While we do not in ottr columns give spe
cial preference to candidate for positions on
tho State ticket, wo deem it proper to notice
all who are proininonlly suggested, and in
such terms as they deserve. Wo speak ad
visedly of Col. Embick, from intimate rela
tions while tho writer wasengaged in the
newspaper Ims'iucss in Williamsporr.
SuperiUciulriitol' l'nldic Instruction.
Gov. llartr.tnl't lr.u appointed Hon. J. P.
Wickersliam to tho new office of Superinten
dent of Pttblin Instruction, which takes the
placoof Superintendent of Common Schools,
Soldiers' Orphans Schools, &e. As the ap
pointment requires confirmation by tho Sen
ate, the present e imin'mion will expire upon
tho assemblage of tho Lejialaturo, when an
appointment for lour years will bo made.
As tlio appointment was not made before the
adjournment luisiuoic as tuom-ii uuv. mm
ran ft anticipated defeat and by making an
appointment within a few d i.vs of tho close
of his term desired to run tlio commission of
his Superintendent through tho entire term
of his successor in ollico, which will bo for
throe years only, This feituro of Super'm
tendent's terms is all wrong. The Governor
should Iiimtelfbe. directly responsible for the
management of t'.ie School Department, and
this he can not b; itnluss ho appoints tlio
Superintendent himself. The appointment
of Mr. Wickersliam is a highly proper one,
in all respects, but if ho is to be continued
throinrh a Democratic administration lie
ought to bo appointed by it.
Mr. Wickersliam b peculiarly qualified for
the position. A teacher of great experience
nnd success from the commonest of schools
up, for years at tlio head of an Academy,
then in the County Superintendeucy for a
term in tho largo county of Lancaster, then
thePi-iucip.il who built up and made success
fill the first State Normal School, at Millers
ville.and uowforthe third timocommissioned
State Superintendent, a place ho has filled
with remarkable fidelity and capacity of
mild manners, thorough and vigilant, a fine
public speaker, not a babbling politician,
and a scholarly gentleman of tho purest char
actcr. ho is eminently fitted for the post.

A legislative investigating committee re
ccntly presented a monthly bill of expenses
which set out room rent, stationery, &e. and

body may re.iiily imagine what constituted
this last item, but Gen. Temple rclmed to

named This the committee refined to do,
;iud consequently the "incidentals" remain
unpaid hj the Male.
Tho forcsoins incidents show that the

wlio means to attend to his bitsine-s and pro
tect their interests, and the result will be
very larao savin:' annually, but as a cnnc-
pience, Gen. Temple may' look for the abuse
of rascals. As soon in they are fully con
vinced that ho will not allow them to plan

open a howl in chorus. Tliey will know

let him continue to do his duty and tho peo

The Uefo;,::i House.
Tho Republican papers of tiiis State have
ucered at and denounced the Democratic
louse of Representatives of la-t winter until
some credulous people have been led to be

They have complained chiefly ot tho l.uiurc
of the house to legi-late. lhey were so ai-
accustomed to the annual appearance of huge
volumes of acts of assembly that they were
shocked nl tho diminutive octavo which thi-
vear incloses with its lids the additions to
the statute -hook. Re-ides they delight in
much government. Theso Republican edi
tors have by long pesistenco in false politi

that some legislative panacea must be found
fni- every ill that afllicts society or disturbs
tho peace and happiness of its individual
members. Hence when tho wonted flood oi

victory will perch upon the banners of tho
ono whleli draws to its aid and support tho
hnne.it Independent voters of the common
wealth, who have censed to lend an ear to tho
empty prole sinus nnd deceptive platforms of
mern politicians ami wno win no coverneu
in their choice solely by the well rtabllhed
lam ! of the candidates s'liimi '.ed lo their
selection. The Repuldiean riiu have al
ready chosen their candidates one ot them,
''who hui seen unne nei i is well known as
the pliant tool nf Simon Cameron, and will
not fail to do his biddin,:. Whil.' the main
l'ecimiuiendiition ot the ol.u-i- li the Inel that
lie Is unknown to the mass of voters in this
commonwealth and ho lays a modest claim
to "hint blot d," a facetious phrase which, of
Into, lias become quite popular among tho
Republican snobs who now into tlie desti
nies of their parly, and who sadly pine for
the advent ol high sounding titles nf no
bility to hide tho ever-reeurrr.-.'' sli.i'ii-j of
a very doubtful and obsetir i ri-rin.
Rut whatever may lie the personal mialt-
fieatinns nl tlie candidates of the Republican
ring, they have, by tlie acceptance of their
nomination, fully identified themselves with
the sins nf omission and e-iiiim;si ei w..'eh
luuo long since blasted tlie U-.ev oi ll'.it
organization and brought down di-tress and
disgrace upon tlio people of this common
wealth.
The defent of such candidates is assured
if the Democratic Slate Convention cxercNo
prudence. imUmcnt and patriotiuu in the
selection of the men they clmci-e as tin ir
standard bearers. With a view to this, lhey
should avoid the choice nt obscuio men ; of
men of merely ordinary capacity or of doubt
In! reputation. They should choose from
among the most widely known, tho most
talented and tho most popular men of their
party.
From amonrt such, I be; h av. '.- c ill tVi
attention of the people to i '.i.ini li. ;hv,
of Clearfield county. Six years a State
Senator, tlneo years a Governor and six
years a Senator representing in part tlio
State nf Pennsylvania in tho Senate of the
United States, that staunch and pure Dem
ocrat never failed to fulfill conscientiously
and cU'ectively his various official obliga
tions. Always true to tho constitution ol
his Stato anil of tlio Federal Union, he
gr.i'ped with calm courago and rare judg
ment iho many contingencies of legislation
and of executive ditty which encountered
liim at every step in his long and auluous
political career.
I will venture to assert, without tho fear
of contradiction, that there is not now liv
ing in I'ennsytvaiiia a single prominent
Democrat who passed triumphantly and
unscathed through the many trying ordeals
that tested tlio talents, tlio po'litioal faith,
tho honesty ,thecnurage and the patriotism of
William liigler ! While yet but a young
man, he commenced his political career in
the Senate of his State, (which then had
suspcndo.1 the payment of iutcrcston its debt
in conc(uenee ol tho great panic ol '.i.s.l
as the ardent defender of tho public faith,
in opposition to tho demagogues who then
advocated the horrid doctrine of lcpudia-
tiou
In accordance with that honcit and sound
policy ,heat tlio same time forcibly advocated
in the Senate the bill which compelled toe
banks to resume specie payments, and the
ever memorable bill'whicli abolished forever
in the Stale nf Peniisvlvauiathat last ve.-tige
of barbarism, the law of imprisonment for
debt 1 niav here remark that tins was
e-sentially a Democratic measure, every
Whig in each branch of tho legislature vol
incr inralust it.
There is a strong resemblance between the
panic of ';!S, which swept over tho country
with blasting devastation and brought even
the great State of Pennsylvania to tho very
ve-re of bankruptcy, and the' panic of '7.'!
inaugurated by the failure of Jay Conko a
Co., tlio Unites! States government bankers.
In each case the trouble came fiom enormous
speculations and the worthlcvsncs-, of an
unredeemable paper currency. Would it
not then be wi-e and politic to place the
helm of Stale in the hands of him who, iu
his youth, contributed so much to rescue his
-uato from tno con-eniiciiccs ot tho same
calamities which now oppress us?
William Rigler was not bom with a silver
spoon in his mouth ; on tho contrary, ho
passed in his youth through the severe or
deal of poverty and toil. His parents, mnt
respectable persons, lemoved shortly auer
hi-, h mil ii-oiti Uuiul
wilds of Mercer county, where ho spent tho
hrst rcvcnteeu years nt lus lite maiiluliy
battling with the toils and privations nl a
hackwooiLiunn. Ho then moved to Hollo
finite where, in tho printing oflico of hi
biother.John Rigler, he received his educa
tion iu this college where so many eminent,
sell-made men of Pennsylvania graduated
and took their degrees, There ho learned to
think and express his thoughts. At the ago
nf twenty he removed to Clearfield. Clear
field county, where, with nu old pics nnd
ha -worn tvnes. he commenced the publica
tion uf a 'Democratic paper. Here the
energy and self-reliance he had acquired iu
tho lo'resls of Mercer did not desert him :
throii.ru many difficulties ho succeeded in
establishing liis paper on a linn basis and iu
winning the respect and good willofnU who
knew him. Some three years, after his ar
riwil in Clearfield ho married oli-s Maria I.
liccd, the daughter of a thriving merchant
of that place, and shortly alter his maiuago,
go ng into business with ins latncr-in-iaw

that ho announced that no l'ennsylvatiiiiu
with deccnt;respcct for himself would accept
a place in tlio Cabinet Now tho story is
that Cameron is demanding the appointment
of various friends to subordinate places.
The key to all this is that a C-ibinct position
is esteemed equal to about fifty other good
ippointments. Tho Senator 's announcement
ibout the Cabinet killed oil ex-benator hcolt
