Our friend, the senior lvlitor of the li-
publican, Is enthusiastic over the oratory oi
Uol. Ingcrsoll, who presented to the Repub
lican Conventoii the now utmost forgotten
iiuiiio of James 0. Itliiinc. As the editor
nt'oro-nild " which Is post-master "left
Uloouisburg a determined ltlaine man, and
when Simon wild "wigwag" saw superior
excellence in Huycs, we would call his at
U'litimi to the fact that he U justified in his
course of "swapping horses while crossing
u stream" on two grounds :
I'rtf. However captivating the eloquence
of Col. liigeroll, lie has heeii lately arrested
us a defaulter to the Government.
Second. He is a tbcosopliist. This is
Colonel Ingersoll's ritual for a deceased
fatlier-ln-law : "Without assurance and
without fear we give him back, as it were,to
Nature, the source and mother of us all.
With morn, with noon, with night, with
changing clouds and changeless stars
with grass, with trtcs and birds, with
leat and bud. with llower and blossom
ing vine, with all the sweet influences of
Nature, we leave our dead " We do not
anticipate that the colonel will have any
large number of engagements for funerals.
There Is too little assurance in his style. As
an engineer of political nominations and as
a funeral manager he is not a pronounced
success.
No better reasons need he urged to a con
fiding constituency.
Judge Harding of Luzerno county, from
all accounts, has got himself in an unpleas
ant situation. Two of the County Com
missioners who were indicted for receiving
bribes aud for embezzlement of public mon
ey, when brought up for trial plead guilty,
aud were sentenced by Judge Harding to
pay back the money. In passing sentence
his Honor remarked that the prosecutors,
Messrs. Dickson aud Payne, did not desiro
tho imprisonment of the olfemlers. In an
swer to this, those gentlemen have published
a letter squarely denying that they ever ex
pressed auy such, feelings, but on the con
trary had distinctly said to the Judge that
they would not be satisfied with the simple
iinXMition of a flue. This places Judge
Harding in the position of having uttered a
deliberate falsehood from the bench in or
der that he might let two public plunderers
go scot free. There is another charge against
this dignitary of having accepted a live bun
dred dollar watch ami chain irom a builder
named Houpt, whom he had aided iu secur
ing a fat contract from the Commissioners.
If this be true, the whole thing looks as
though the light sentence passed on the
prisoners was lor the purpose of closing their
mouuths about auy little matter in which
the Judge might be interested. The Lu
zerne papers are calling loudly for Harding's
resignation.
In another column we give our readers a
sketch of our candidates and the Democratic
Platform. The latter is full, straight-for-ward.and
incisive. Our opponents expected
us to either uay nothing on the curren
cy question, or wreck on it. We have
proclaimed openly against forced resumption
iu 1870. If our opponents doubt that they
have dodged the question, let them read the
following extract from the 1'reti :

VISITING FIKK CO.MPANIIW AC. AC.
For some time buck preparations have
been going on, for the purposo of properly
observing tho Centennial Annlvcisary of
American Independence. The manner in
which tho exercised of the clay passed off
reflected much credit on all who were en
gaged in their management. The committee
iippuinted at a meeting of our citizens, held
some weeks since, did their whole duty, and
the people of Columbia county are indebted
chielly to them for the success of the oc
casion, Tho Wyoming 'Artillery under the com
mand of Capt. J. K. Ulln.au numbering
about fifty men, who had been invited to bo
present, accepted the invitation, and arrived
at live o'clock on Monday uflernoon, bring
ing with them two emmou.
All duy Monday our citizens were busily
employed iu decorating their houses and
places of business, and the result was tho
finest display of bunting ever witnessed in
Hloomsburg. Flags waved from every win
dow, and pictures representing Revolution
ary Incidents wcro numerous. At half past
eleven Monday night the bells began to toll,
and at twelve, at a signal fired by tho
Artillery, they till broke forth into u joyous
peal, ushering in the new century. Guns
and pistols were fired, and notwithstanding
a Town ordinance to the contrary, rockets
and tire crackers blazed and cracked along
the streets. The town was fairly wild, and
many persons did not go to bed at all. At
sunrise, on the 4th the bells were rung again
and the Artillery lircd n salute of thirty
oight guns, R. F. Clnrk,Ksq .discharging the
first Centennial shot. All the morning people
from a distance came flocking into town, lire
companies and organizations arrived on tho
trains, aud if there was any doubt as to the
complete success of the celebration, it was
soon dissipated.
At one o'clock iu tho afternoon tho pro
cession began to form the front resting
at Market Square, headed by Colonel
Samuel Knorr, Chief Marshal, mounted,
His aids rode hither aud thither getting the
lino iu order, aud iu a short time nil was
ready to stmt. First cauio thcltlooiusburg
Cornet Hand, witli their gay uuiforms. Just
behind them rodo Col. John G. Freeze,
Historian, and Dr. T. L. Griswold the reader
of the Declaration of Independence, iu a
carriage. Next came the members of the
Committee ol arrangements. The tableaux
1770 consisted of fourteen you.ig ladies,
represent! g the thirteen original states, and
the Goddess of Liberty .drawn by four horses.
On tho front of the wagon was an arch con
taining the names of tho states iu red white
and blue, aud on the front seat rode Judge
John McReyuolds, aged eighty-eight, mem
ber of the Legislature for this county from
1824 to 18:50, and several times afterwards.;
and Ho':. K. J. Mc Henry, our piesent mem
ber. The tableaux 1870, also drawn by four
horses iu Risewick's baud wagon, consisted
of twentv-tive young ladies dressed iu white,
representing the additional states admitted
since the Declaration. Immediately be
hind them rode Sergeant C. S., Fornwnld,
on the black charger of the late Gen
eral W. 11. Lot. lie carried too war
Hag of the Iron Guards. Independent Hand
of Danville came next, and were followed
by Washington Fire Company of the same
I1
dace. Their nose carr.age was peaiiuiuiiy
I
ecorated, and on it stood four young men
lressed iu costumes represonting.nii Indian,
an old Continental soldier, n Sailor aud a
Zouave. In the centre on mi elevated seat
rode the Goddess of Liberty. The effect was
ery fine.
Thel77G Fire Company of Hloomsburg,
under Foreman Frank (,isper,attraeted con
siderable attention, as it was their first ap
pearance. Their uniform was white shirts,
and straw cockades, and they drew their lit
tie hand engine of primitive construction
On the top of it sat a little, boy dressed in a
suit made entirely of American flags. The
Kaglo Hose nod Fire Company of Pittstou
with their Drum Corps was next iu order.
Their hose carriage was beautifully trimmed
and they made n fine appearance
Then came our own Friendship Fire
Company, with Hose carriage handsomely
ornamented, untl eugluedrawo by lour horses.
Fuge's Comet Hand of liuckhoru headed by
a Drum Major dressed iu the national colors
aud bearing a banner surmounted by an Im
mense pair ol buck horns, followed, This
band with their new uuiforms made a good
appearance. 1 lie artillery with tlitlr held
pieces and ammunition boxes, each carriage
drawn by four horses, added greatly to the
make up of the procession, aud reminded
one strongly of the years of warfare, when
soldiers were daily seen upon the streets,
They are a hue body of men, tail by their
conduct while hero showed themselvis to bo
not only soldiers but gentlemen. They ex
pressed themselves as much pleased with
their visit.
The procession ended with a number of
carriages occupied by private citizens. Thu
route of the march was as follows; down
Main to West street, countermarching on
Main, thence to Kast street down to Fifth,
down Fifth to Market, up (Market to Third,
out Thlld to West, up West to .Main, up
Main to Market, and then to the head of
Market'whero the stand was erected. When
the audience was properly arranged the ox

inciiievm.
The music furnished by the bands, was
excellent, and their organizations nre very
creditable to tlitlr respective communities.
The Independent Hand of Danville Is one of
long standing, and they still sustain the
reputation which they have long enjoyed.
l'liu Ruck Horn band was organized com
paratively recently, but they make ns good
music ns many older bauds. Of our own, It
is unnecessary to speak at this time, as they
arc well known by every body.
No were particularly pleased with tho
firemen. Tho Committee wero fortunate iu
securing the attendance of such com
panies. Their appearance, nnd gentlemanly
conduct, pleased every body. While those
from a dlstanco were fine bodies of men they
did not by any means throw the Friendship
Fire Co. of Hloomsburg In the shade. Our
bovs did credit to themselves and to the
town.
Col. 14. Thayer, a soldier of 1812, aged 87
years, being unabluto participate in the pro
cession by reason of an injury received by a
fall, sat at his window and was saluted ly
tho soldiery as they passed.
From the front of Capt. 0. 11. Itrockway's
residence was suspended tho old battery flag
of Itrockway's llattery, completely riddled
with bullets.
A MAX 11U11T.
Just as tho procession was nbouttostart
a horse attached to one of the pieces of
Artillery got his leg over a trace, and his
rider, .Serjeant Cox, dismounted to disen
tangle him, when another horse kicked the
Sergeant iu the leg. No bones were broken
but the ilesli was badlv bruised. Ho was
carried to the Exchange Hotel, nnd taken
home on Wednesday.
ANOTHER MAN dismounted,
As the procession was coming up Market
street one ol tho Assistant Marshals lode
rapidly to the front, when his horse stopped
suddenly. The rider, however, went right
on over the horse's head, hut no damage was
done. Wo suppose that is the military way
of dismounting.

young men of Hloomsburg wero detailed to
watch them, with orders to allow no one to
approach. At about three o'clock in the
morning a party of six concluded to test the
guard, to see how well they would perforin
their duty. This company marched within
a short distance of the artillery nnd then
started on a keen run to surprise the watch
ers and capture the guns, but when they
reached the spot they wcro met unexpected
ly by two artillery men with drawn sabres,
wlio ordered them to retreat. Without stop
ping to discuss the question tho practical
jokers retreated. Some ono wants to know
who was surprised, the guard or the jokers?
There was hut comparatively little drunk

Civil Serein Reform.
Relorm is necessary in the civil service.
Experience proves that cllici"iit, economical
conduct of the governmental business is not
possible if itscivil service bo subject tochaiigo
at every election ; to bo a prize fought for at
the lallot-box ; to be a brief reward ol party
zeal, instead ol posts ol honor assumed lor

public eniplov; tliat the dispensing of pat
ronage should neither Ihi a lax upon the limo
I all out public men nor the instrument ot
their ambition. Hero, again, professions, fal-
ified in the pcrfmmniicv, attest that thu par
tyin power can work out no practical or sat'
