A Democratio county meeting held in Schuylkill county last week, over which Hon. F. Y. Hughes presided and in which the leading Democrats of the county partic ipated, with great unanimity and in entliii' niastlc terms presented .Tmlgo Pershing as tho next Democratic candidate for Governor, -the ability, fillies'", Round Democracy, patriotism and commanding popularity of .'udgo 1'cr.jliing, aro conceded by political friend and foe. A review of tho held at this time indieatcsjiis nomination, ami his election if nominated may bo regarded as an event that is certainly to transpire. Tho Iieccher trial is ended, tho jury hav ing been unable to agree,' standing nine for IiJechcr to three for Tilton. Excepting in a technical view, this is a complete acquittal of Beccher. When nine men out of twelvo tip pointed to judge, are ot the samo opinion about the facts of a caso tho judgment is of as much if not more value in every sense ex ccpt tho technical one than if all had agreed and it as effectually defeats tho purpose of Tilton in this caso to obtain damages. It is a good thing that tho loathsome subject will now pass from tho public mind. If tho sub ject bo brought into court again it will scarcely attract much attention. Tho par ties to the .suit aro both bold bad men, and this fact being established both will be com paratively harmless for serious mischief hereafter. Tho Radical organs aro after Senator liooth of California. They look on him as a trai tor for saying: "when parties represent honest (inferences, of opinion upon living po litical questions they aro just and proper; when the questions between them aro obso lete, they aro useless ; when they servo to prevent tho consideration of present issues, they aro obstacles; when they perpetuate ha tred and sectional strife, they aro evils; when their machinery falls into tho bauds of the few to bo employed or selfish purpose! and to defeat tho popular will, they aro corrupt and oppressive; when tho machinery of both or cither can bo indifferently manipulated by tho samo men in tlio interest of private gain and corporato greed, they are rotten, and ought to be destroyed. California seems very well entitled to its claim of being the most proiperous Stato in tho Union. Last year thero were shipped ten .million quintals of wheat and flour, tlio val ue of which was $o,000,000. Of wool there were sent 80,000,000 pounds. Tho vineyards yielded 7,000,000 gallons of wino and 200, 000 gallons of brandy. Tho yield of bullion was $20,300,031. Tho receipts of lumber at San Francisco wcro 2011,000,000 feet. Tho imports of coal show an increase of 77,370 tons, whilo tho consumption of pig iron showed an incrcaso of 5,000 tons. Thoso statistics aro particularly interesting as im plying a large growth of population, a de velopment of the natural woaltli.of tho sec tion, and an iucroaso of manufacturing in dustry. Richanrjc, National Hanking System. A correspondent of tho New Castlo Cuur ant, a leading radical paper in western Penn sylvania, says: "I believe if tho Demo- 'cratssucceod in tying this cursed millstone "tho National Hank System to tho neck "of the Republican party, it will go under." Thero is no troublo about that. Tho Rad ical parly fastened that millstone toitsneck It orm nated tho thieving systom It gavo birth to it it pasod nil laws that luivo fat tened and fed it, and tho mother may as well attempt to deny her own child, as the Rail! cal larty to get rid of this bantling.

In fact, if It desires to publinh certain facts, it will not do so until it literally imbeds them lu dofamation, and any truthful statement that is given it U thoroughly interlarded with falsehood beforo it is orbited.

Hut a truce to tho picture. Reform, sub stantial, semiblo nnd just is demanded. A chango i n the men who conduct the govern' incut as well as in tho principle that coiv trol and tho measures that arc adopted and in vogue, is demanded. The peoplo must riso equal to tho occasion and hurl from power the party and the men who havo con trolled and governed for tho last fifteen years, and it their immediate successors no no better they mubt in turn bo consigned to defeat.

Common Schools anil In-iiiiity. o observe articles "going tho rounds" of tho newspapers charging tho "common school system" for laying tho foundation of many ot the mental diseases that exist, and Dr. Cunvin is quoted as authority. The rea sons assigijcU aro that tho children arc bent to school too youn-' that loo much study is imposed upon them, and that too many pu pils aro crowded into many of tho schools. Now, admitting tho objections to exist, will these wise mengivo the public any assurance that tho evils complained of will cease to ex ist if tho common school system be abolish ed ? Is not their position against education and not against a particular plan ? Wo tako that fact to bo obvious. Tho school system prevents tho attendance of any child under six years of ago. Is not that old enough to be sent to school? If not, would the aboil Hon of tho school law prevent tho evil Would tho abolition of tho law prevent school cramming, cither as to studies pursued or numbers in particular rooms? Nonsense! It thero bo sueh evils amend the law so as to prevent them, Abolishing tho law would not accomplish tho end. Injurious study, such as produces mental weakness and imbecility, Is moro often pro duccl by encouragement and pratso than by anv other means. Is that to bo rogulatod by law, too, or to bo effected by abolishing school systems ? Weak minds nro easily im prossod, they are likely to bo tho most for ward pupil, superficially tho most promis ing, tho most readily stimulated by llattery, and the moit Mtsceptiblo to crammiuir. Do tho philosophers of the Curwlii phase mean to keep them out nf school, lnj law, or by abolishing laws? Can tho evil bo corrected in that way? Yet such blab as referred to is patroulzln ly copied by w!a editors, after being iiicul oatcd by equally sagacious Superintendents of Asylums I (live us an act of Assembly that will put an end to human wickedness weakness, trouble and d!ea-e, mid then there will bo an end to insanity not be fore. That the children aro often forced or fiat- tcreil to study Un much is not denied. Hut tho school system has iibtliiiig to do with that.

COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. Tho Auditing U.'p.irlmcnt and tlio Treasury Work t ) In duiio and attendant Squirming, When Auditor General Tcmplo wns in daetcd into office ho was not only determined to dlsch.rgo his duties faithfully, but wni well awaro of tho fact that, as soon as tho leeches and shysters discoven-d Ills proper Intention that bo would bo misrepresented and attacked. illowasnot blind, but bad tho wholo case I beforo him. lie knew (for tho subject was lNeussed) that honest men would bo prima rily misled by n cry for Impossibly speedy action, bo was nvaro that tho formal news paper attack would In tho first caso bo made in tlio New York HWci, and that as soon as explanations would begin to render them dis creditable they would bo dropped by, that paper and taken up by tho disreputable Sun, and that tlieso attacks would bo reproduced in this Stato wherever tho Treasury plun- Icrcrs could Itillucnco newspapers cither by direct request or imposition. All that was duly discounted by tho Auditor General lu advance, but with .Taeksotilaii nerve ho de termined to discharge his proper duty in a prudent and manly way, and to "let Rome howl." Tho work before him was ono of no mean magnitude. Tho accounts of corporations, lelinquent officials in largo numbers and dis bursing and receiving officers generally, were to bo carefully examined, tested and actually verified. In all this tho Auditor General should havo had tho active aid of tho Stato Treasurer, but instead that official threw ev ery impediment in tho way of his progress. riicroaro an immense mass of books em bracing long and iiitriealo accounts in tho Auditing department of the State, tho bool:3 of the State Treasurer ought to bo and those of tho State departinentnnd Attornoy Gener al must be examined in tho connection by tho Auditor General before ho can bo certain of accuracy in his accounts, and very fre quently it is not until after demand is niado ind tho debtor files his plea that he is abso lutely certain, "lie sure you are right, then go ahead," is a trite, rough and plainly prop er maxim lor anv one and especially lor an olliccr upon whom the public attention is rivctted and in tho proper dischai 'o of who-o duties the public have so largq,an in terest. Hut the denunciations we have re ferred to commenced before Gen. Temple had time to read tho indexes of his ledgers, much less examine the accounts Their in justice is therefore palpable Although only two months in office he has already detected hundreds of thousands of delinquencies and placed them m position for prompt collec tion. A collision with tho Treasury is sure to occur and at no distant period, for the point will soon havo been reached where atisfactory explanation or a bold defiance becomes inevitable. Peculation and discrep ancy are being hedged into a' corner, and when their votaries find themselves pres-ed thero they will have no other rocour-o but to fight. Their life will be nt stake, they are malignant?, despcrato and reckless, and they will strike for life and to kill. Every imas- inable impediment will bo thrown out in de fenco and every conceivable or possiblo spe cies of vituperation, falsehood and slander will be set nllo.it ngainst their honest foes. We havo had long experience in both official and privato station nt Uarrisburg, wo have been fighting this samo description of plun- ilcrers for many a year, and wo know their habits as does the hunter thojo of the wild beasts. Wo were not mistaken in pre dicting in advance what the plunderers would do, and.whcro they would find their allies and access to tlio public ear, and wc are not mistaken now. Wo havo every confidence in the manly ncrvo and moral power of Gen, Temple. Iho very fact that ho did not rush headlong like a bull at a fair, but carefully measured his ground, and first ascertained his own position and then .planted himself firmly upon ascertained facts susceptible of proof, suggests his earnestness and that ho can be depended upon. Every honest man in tho land ought to hold up his hands in well doing, give no heed to tho misrepresenta tions of tlio vampyres in tho Now York pa pers, or other liars or blind followers who choose to join in tho chorus of insinuation, slander and detraction, the weapons of tho culprits. It will take a full year of hard, careful work, and possibly two or thrco of them, to hunt up and demonstrate all the frauds that Radical officials have perpetiatcd upon tho State, and tho fact that tho proper officer is earnestly at work at it in good faith, as is abundantly shown by tho expos ures already made, should at least be suffi cient to induce all honest men nnd especially editors to withhold complaint if they do not deem it a duly to commend. Hon. Thomas H. Florence, formerly member of Congress from tho first district of this State, died at Washington city on the !5d iiist. The Hon. Tom, was a charac ter uniquo but good. Fond of bombast he was honest and faithful to his professions. His talents peculiarly fitted him for his original occupation, a liatter, and his sccon ilary one, a rough-and-tumble but earnest and eU'ectivo orator of tho kind, and made him a strong and next to irrcsistablo caudi dato beforo tho enlightened masses of a su burban Philadelphia district. Tlio first dis trict was long held by tho Native Americans, tho progenitors of tho Know Nothings, bui when antagonised by Tom 1'lorouce, they wero crushed out. llo continued to repre sent the district for several terms but finally engaged in oilier business, nbovo his abili ties, and he was not successful. As ho was nn honest man ho mado no money in Con gress and was always poor. Last fall, prob ably for patriotic purposes, possibly for charity, ho was again put forward in his old district for Congress, 1 lo lurain commanded a majority of votes, but tho "lightening cal dilators" counted him out. llo appealed to Congress, whero ho would no doubt havo been successful, had not death relieved him from the toils and cares of this world, "Ho was a fellow of inlinito" merriment, kind heaited, genial, whoso impulses wcro every ono honest nnd patriotic. His soul may bnvo been too great for his body but it de serves to rest In peace. Tho Clinton Democrat talks strong seliso when itsayssomoof our Democratic cotcnipo raiies aro bounding tho alarm of treacherous men in tho ranks of Democracy in Phlhulel phia nnd perhaps other points, trying to wire-work alliiirs so as to get control of tho Erie convention, and get a enndidato tct up that will suit the Treasury King. Thero aro always purchasable rascals to bo found in tho ranks of all parties men who will put on any garb to play their games of plunder and Philadelphia has a largo supply of tho scoundrels, Hut that tho Democratic con ventlon at Erlo will bo iiilluenccd by thoso traitorous luliilonsol pluiider,wohavonofcar.

If tho Republicans carry, General Grant will justly claim it as nn endorsement of his administration mid a demand for its continuance, if the Republicans lose the elections, It will show him and his party clearly that ho cm not bo re-elected, nnd tlio office-holders will discover their In terest to bo lu n candidate who may stand a chauco of election. At present, tho office holders as a body aro of course for Grant, be cause ho will bo moro certain to keep them in position than another President would bo; but if tlio elections demonstrate that he can not again bo elected, they will nil favor tho nomination of somo Republican who they will hope can bo successful. It is plain,tlicn, that tho way to defeat tho third term aspirations of President Grant is to defeat the Uepiiblican party this fall, and every voter in that party who is really opposed to n third term ought to sco tills. It is tho only way to prevent Grant from being nominated again. Twenty-six Millions. On July 1st, out of tho treasury of the general Govermcnt was paid lo tho Nation al bankers and bondholders of tlio country licenty-aLv millions of dollars in gold, as in terest on I'ovcriiincnl bonds, . This amount of money has been collected off of the farm ers, tho business nnd the workingmcn in tho shape of taxes during tho past year. Every cent of it could bo saved lo pay tho princi pal of the public debt, if tho contract made nt tho timo tho bonds were issued was faith fully carried out. They aro payablo in greenbacks another kind of promises to pay, that bear no interest and cost tho tax-payc rs nothing but tlio expense of issuing. If the ltadieal party that is now ruling the coun try would chango the character of the public debt by' exchanging greenbacks for bonds, it would 'save tho public twenty-six millions of gold interest yearly, which amount could eventually be used to redeem the greenbacks. Thus the government debt could bo paid in gold, simply by saving yearly tho interest that is now paid to bond-holders. The farmer, the mechanic, tho business man and tho laborer aro compelled to re ceive greenbacks as a legal tender lor an debts. Why should not tho bond-holder reecivo tiio same? Is ho who loans the Gov ernment his money any better than ho who toils and produces the wealth that gives the Government its credit ? Is the man who, taking advantage of tlio necessities of Gov ernment in time of war, forced it to pay ex orbitant Usury for the use of his money, any better than he who risked his life and limbs in tho defence of a cause ho thought right? Then why should a distinction be made? Why should tho producer and tho soldier be compelled to receive as legal money Gov ernment promises to pay, and the bond-holder and money lender protected in his demand for gold ? If greenbacks arc a "legal tender," let them be tendered to tho bond-holders of the coun try as they are to other people, and if ho re fuses to accept them, let his claim against the tax-r ayers in the shape ol a bond ' go to the dogs." llellfontc Watcaium. Thero was once a Pennsylvania legislator who laid by islU.OOO in one Session. When ho was asked how ho managed this witli a salary of $1,000, ho said lie saved it by doing without a hired girl. JCvcliunyc. That was a pretty thrifty law-maker, but ho is nothing in the way of saving to our present Stato Treasurer. His name, as every body knows, is Hob, JIackey, and ho is a fi nancial manager of tho "Cameron ling." When Robert was bclcctcd by Cameron just ns ho recently selected Rawlo to take charge of tho people's money, he was so poor that tho balance at his banker's would not havo bought a crusader a chnnco to smell a pint of Mounngnhohi forty miles oil' Hut Robert was thrifty, and ns economical as Cameron himself; and yet Robert wasn't mean; not a bit of it. Ho only got S.'i.OUU per year, which is a good deal of money in tho hands of a thrift y man, and out of thi ho has lived as befitted tho Treasurer of tlio State, has paid off several old debts liki an honorable man ; subscribed many thous amis annually to tho "Cameion ring" cor ruption fund ; taken 840,000 stock in the Pittsburgh Commercial ; lo-t 100,000 through his friend Yerkcs in Philadelphia ; paid for a brown stouo residence in ono of the fashionable streets in the (Junker City ; and when ho drives out, does so behind an Sl,S0O span of liorscs on llroad street. And nil sinco 1808 out of a salary of 85,000. It is not likely ho has accomplished all this as tlio honest member alluded to nbovo did, by "doing without a hired girl." Moro likely Robert has tho samo gilt as tlio boy who ap plied to a merchant for work. Tho mer chant said ho really could not afford to em ploy any additional help. "Hut," said the honest boy, "I don't want much wages; I'm very lucky and always find more than my wages." Wo think tho people of Pennsyl vania lind better get rid of Stato Treasurers that "find moro than their waccs." hric Oh- tencr. Here is something for tax-payers lo read Tho last Democratic Governor of Pennsylva nia was Win. F. Packer. Tho expenses of his administration for tlio year 18.VJ cost the tax-payers 40S,O!J7.40. The first Republi can Governor was Andrew G. Curtln, now a Liberal mid an honest official. His admin istratiou cost tho tax-payers lor tho year 1802, $119,028.87. Tlio diH'erenco can well bo accounted for bv tho fact that tho war had commenced, and tho expenses of the Commonwealth increased thereby. Hut wo nro now at peace, and certainly tho cost of carrying on tho government ought not lo bo moro now than it was under Cuttiii, Hut it is. Gov. Hartranft is tho last Republican Governor, and ho is asking for a re-election on his record. That shows that for the year 1874 his administration cost tho tax-payers ?1,090,103.C3, or 8517,124,7-r moro than dur ing tho first year of tlio war. Is it any won der tlio peoplo oxperienco difficulty in pay ing their taxes when their receipts aro dl miulshiiig and tho expenses of maintaining their officials lu office aro increasing? OUcrtn: Over a million of dollars in tlio Stato Treasury on tlio 1st of January according to tho Stato Treasurer's report. Only 81.70 in it on tho 1st of April, and Legislative and other debts of tho Stato unpaid. Tho inves tigating committco denied access to the books, and explanation as to what canio of tho funds doggedly refused. Not a Radical paper has a wotd to say about It, and yet this very fetnto ring hns tlio linpitdenco to meet and declare in favor ot n "rigid lie ontintablllty of public officers," and tho Radical papers tho effrontery to assert that their imrtv will bland bv its declarations.

Tho clrcumstaiicos connected -with his In auguration, tho awkward blunders hematic, when ho first atlmpHl to call the SonaUi to order, and his astonishing ignoranci of fa miliar parliamentary usages, which abashed his friends and reddened their faces with blushes of shame, riro still fresh in tlio mem ories of nil. A short timo after this ho was stricken with n lingering and powlhly In curable physical ailment, ono which has de stroyed or partially Impaired the intellect of stronger nion than ho ever could hopu 1 1 be, and ho was compelled for a number of months to remain In tlio charge of his phy sicians. During tills timo a charitable imili tie obscured his shortcomings and longgolngs mid tho public was given to understand, through frequent explanations, that his health of mind and body was soon to bo restored. His absence was missed in tho Senate moro ns n soureo of congratulation than anything else, because his place was temporarily filled byu man of acceptable If not brilliant ability. When ho returned to his duties, however, his prcscuco was hailed with words of welcome, nnd the honor ex tended to him which belonged to his high office, if respect to tho man was withheld, Ho nt onco misunderstood himself, and al lowed his vanity to deceive him regarding ill's actual situation. Wo do not charge that his disease had in any way impaired ills mind; built is a well-known fact that his manner was changed, and that while his ef forts lo be acknowledged as a mediator for tho settlement of parly diliereiice.s were renewed with wonted vigor, it was notieeablo that ho bad lost Ids bold and aggressive man lier of dealing with tho opposition. Ho burly cowered beforo tho men with whom, in times past, it was his glory to measure words. Among the first lo be frightened at tho continued assaults ot tho so-called Inde pendent or Detective prcus against leading Kepublicaus, ho was al-o the first to shiver and run away from tlio third-term spectre. hcthcr truo or not, it was his misfortune lo havo his namo connected with tales of Credit Mobilier operations, and ho became so thin-skinned, so cringingly cowardly, that ho trembled at the rtistlo af a newspa per, and sought by the most undignified lo quacity lo make friendships with newspaper men of every class. Day after day and week after week tho spcclaclo might have been been seen, during that particular as well us subsequent sessions of Congress, of the Vice President of tho United States seeking in terviews with the journalists of high and low degree, and of good and bad repute, who abound so frequently in Washington on such occasions. Xntionnl l?iublktu. The New York Journnt of Commerce pre scuts an able review of the financial difficul ties of the country, in which it takes the po sition that "there must be a general liqitidn tion ot accumulated debts beloro there can bo any return of national prosperity. There may be brief intervals of temporary reli from tlio extreme depression, but the relapse will leave the condition wor-o than before, and the crisis of a general settlement is the turning point which must bo passed on tlio way to perfect recovery." Its plan of fi nances is metallic, but without opening an argument on that point, as some may bedis posed to do, it cannot bo denied that tho foregoing theory of 'liquidation' before pros perity can bo restored is sound, and it lias been and must continue lo be till accomplish ed a great question "how best to introduce and conduct this liquidation." It seem nio-t probable that no plan will bo adopted that can successfully accomplish it, and the result will bo havo to be worked out by tho necessities of the case. If so, thero is more trouble ahead ; but should the difficulties bo modified by a moro able and honest hand ling of tlic financial problem than wo have had, there may be such relief as to bring us back to prosperity slowly and without worso times than those that will beset the country between now and the hour of relief.

Here some Republicans venture to complain becaiiso both the candi dates on the Stato ticket wero Democrats un til ten years after the organization of the Re' publican party, and until tiiero wasn't i whole plank left of the old Democratic par ty faith. If tho old Republicans of this State could get a chance just now and then to bo the candidates of their party they would bo happy, but tho only Republicans running in Pcniisplvania to-day are tho Temperance candidates. Thev were Republicans when it cost something to bo a Republican, and it has been the principal business nf that class to do the voting and let eleventh-hour la borers bag tho pennies.
