The Convention did not reach a ballot to

session seven or eight hours without coming
to a conclusion. The convention having
been informed at nine o'clock that the com

to report until ten an adjournment was voted
until 0 a. m. Thursday.
The principal opponents of Dill are Hop
kins and Jenks, M'Candless being virtually
out of the fight. The opinion is entertained
by many that Dill will bo nominated on the
first ballot.

D. X. Junkin, of Newcastle, Pa., one of the
members of the Presbyterian general assem
bly, now in session here.
After considerable confusion as to what
formed the roll of delegates, the roll was
called and the convention effected a tempo
rry organization by the election of Hon. It,
Milton Speer, of Huntingdon county, tern
porary chairman, who was introduced to the
convention by lion. W. L. Scott, of Erie,
The vote stood Speer, 122; Scott, 99.
The result was received with applause by
the Dill supporters.
Mr. Speer made no extended speech, but
Urted the convention business at once. The
usual committees were appointed on plat'
form, contests and organization by senatorial
districts.
The convention adjourned until three
o'clock.
The committee on platform, with Senator
Wallace at the head, has agreed on a draft.
the substance of which Is as follows :
First No further contraction of the vol
time of the currency. Legal tenders receiv
ed by the government to be reissued.
Second Gold, silver and legal tender
notes at par to form the basis of the curren
ey.
Third The connection of the natiouu'
banks with the national government tends
to monopoly and centrallzation,bul in chang
ing the system capital invested should be
protected and conformity of notes and secur
ity of noteholders preserved.
Fourth Treasury note9 issued in ex
change for bonds bearing a low rate of inter
est constitute tho best form of credit the
government can givo to currency.
Fifth -Labor and capita have equal du
ties and responsibility before the law. Vio
lence in support of the real or imaginary
rights of either must be promptly suppress
ed. Sixth Indorses a protective tariff and
charges the republicans with reducing the
tariff in 1872 and thereby Inflicting great
losses on the Industry and labor of Pennsyl
vania. Seventh Frauds in elections and the elec
toral frauds ought to be investigated to ex
pose the frauds and punish the criminals,
but no attack on the presidential title should
be encouragid.
Eighth The republicans aro charged with
corrupting the legislation of the nation and
state, and especially in Pennsylvania with
neglecting to carry into effect Uib reforms of
the new constitution by refusing to pass
laws prohibiting discrimination in freight
charges and facilities, and also for their re
fusal to pass a free pipe law.
Ninth The present republican legislature
is denounced for passing the Philadelphia
recorder bill and other legislation of n simi
lar character, increasing tho expenses of the
government by extravagant salaries and a
corrupt fee system.
The committee on organization has pro
pared a unanimous report in favor of Hon.
Charles It. Iluckalew for permaneut chair

MISIlEPnESENTATIOXS.
Editors Coi.tlMMAN. In your Issue of
May lid, yon said: "Members of the Na
tlnnnl, party who desire to know what Is go
ing on, must depend on the Coi.UMMAN for
their Information, as no other paper In the
County contains It." If It Is your wish to
Inform your readers accurately on the sub
ject -and not present them with a mere car-
icachuro and misrepresentation of the facts
you will no doubt avail yourselves of this
opportunity to correct the following mis
statements In your last Issue :
1. You say : "A. 0. Smith, In n spcach
made In the convention nt Philadelphia,
designated the platform of tho National
(Jreenback Labor party as a "farrago of non
sense, fit only for r mob." Tiit itatemtnt
it wholly untrue I The platform was adopted
unanimously, and was and Is, entirely satis
factory to Sir. Smith, and to every other
member of the convention; and neither Mr.
Smith or any one else, used any such lang
uaga in reference to It, liven the Phlla
delphia Timet, opposed t It Is to the new
parly, s.iys that the'declaration of principles
is one upon which the organization can
land without blushing," ami that it is n
rather scnslblo plalf inn."
2. Again you say that tho p'utform firtt
adapted wasn "ennmunistic document fit only
inly for a mob." The truth Is, that there
was but ono platform adopted, and it was
not adopted "at J'trtt," but at last, and it was
not n "communUtic document," and did not
contain a single "communistic," idea.
0. ou procede : "True, the more con
servative elements set up nil night, after the
adoption of the platform , to construct some
thing else a little better calculated to catch
the lloating votes here and there, and on
Thursday morning the Labor resolutions
wero repudiated, and the Greenback senti
ment adopted." This sentence is, in form
and substance, In thought and word, In let
ter and spirit, utterly untrue," The platform
was adopted on Thursday morning, nt, or
near the closo of the convention. No other
platform was adopted at anytime during the
continuance of the convention. 'The plat
form" had been carefully prepared before
the convention commenced its sessions, and
was unanimously adopted, In substantially
tho same form In which it was at first pre
pared. The so-called "Labor resolutions,"
prepared and piesented by tho Philadelphia
delegation, wero at no time acceptable to
any considerable number of the members
of the convention ; wero not adopted by the
convention; and were voluntarily withdrawn
by thoso who offered them, and the platform
previously prepared, adopted with entire
unanimity.
Permit me to say further, that, while the
33 called "Labor resolutions" were, in many
respects, very objectionable and were at no
time favored by the convention, it is a total
misrepresentation of their character to say
that they were "communistic." The Phila
delphia papers, followed by those in the
country, have done gross injustice to the
Philadelphia delegation, and to their series
of resolutions, by applying this term to them.
I challenge any man to point out a "com
munistic" idea in that entire series of reso
lutions. There teat no communitm in the con
vention ; or, if there was, no one gave utter
ance to it, by resolution offered, by any
public address, or in any other manner so
far as I saw or heard.
Though I do not charge that your mis
statements were intentional, I can see no
reasonable excuse for such grave departures
from the truth in regard to this matter,
si n co accurate information was so easy to be
obtained. Do you not think, you would
even serve your own cause better, by takinj
a little pains to learn, understand, and state
the exact truth ? The advantage you will
gain by misrepresenting and traducing us,
will be but slight and temporary ; the peo
ple will in time learn what the real facts
are.
Youra Itespectfully,
E. E. Orvis
We seize this opportunity to correct any
misstatements we have maJo concerning
Mr. Orvis' party. We aro accused of mis
representing A. C. Smith, and ourconcs-
pondent says our statement is "wholly un
true." Let us see 1 The Philadelphia limct
of the 9th Inst, in speaking of the resolutions
offered, says, that at half past one o'clock on
that morning "Mr. Kilgore came to the front
and read the report oi the committee on res
olutions from the stage."
"Mr, Smith, of Columbia, moved to tubetitue
the platform of loledo Convention, becaute he
did not want to go lack to hit people and tay
that he had been in a contention which adopted
tuch a tot of nonsense, Air, Smith drew upon
himself the hisses of the Luzerne and Phila
delphia men when he said the platform com
mended itself only to a mob,"
The resolutions, it appears, wero not
adopted as the platform of tho party, but
the convention seeing the probability of their
adoption from the indications, succeeded in
getting an adjournment and thus cut them
off. Of this the Timet says :
"They made a most fortunate escape from
a rampant Communistic platform by forcing
an adjournment nt two o'clock in the morn
ing, after the nominations had been complet
ed, for the feverish condition of the conven
tion was then well calculated to make it ac
cept the aggrarian vagaries of the majority
report of the committee on resolutions."
The platform that was adopted on Thurs
day morning was put through as tho report
of the minority of tho committee on reso
lutions, and the attendance of delegates was
not full by any means.
In regard to Mr Smith s speech the Scran-
ton Jlrpublican says ho made an apology on
Thursday morning for the language used
on the previous evening. Why this apology,
if he said nothing not In harmony with the
feelings of the convention ?
Our only error, then, was In saying that
the communistic resolutions were adopted,
instead of saying that their adoption was
prevented by an adjournment. It was of
these resolutions that Mr. Smith said what
our correspondent declares he did not say at
all.
We are informed that "the platform had
been carefully prepared before the conven
tion commenced its sessions, and was un
animously adopted in substantially the same
form in which It was at first prepared." II
so, why the following ;
"Mr. President Hughes offered tho dis
couraging information that the committee on
resolutions had been in session long enough
to read over some of tho ready-made plat
forms and satisfy themselves that it wouldn't
be possible for them tJ report at the session
then being he'd." And why did the ma
jorlly of tho committee report the resolu
tious of the Philadelphia delegation, when
the, convention was so unanimously against
them ?
As to whether there was any communism
in the convention, He have already answered
'Mio Philadelphia papers almost without eX'
reptiou characterize tho resolutions first
offered by the committee, as of that character,
and the resolutions thow It fur themselves,
and yet our corrcspoudeut says that no such
an Idea was uttered by resolution or otheit
wise.
We are grateful to Mr. .OrvU.I'or'.hls last
suggestion but nt tho am"c time, must bo per
mitted to say that wb shall not ask for his
judgment as to what Is tho truth of this mat
ter. Our rcport'was made up carefully from
the city papers, and though unintentionally
mistaken In tho one fact of tho adoption of
tho Labor resolutions as tho platform of the
convention, we are of the opinion that they
would havo been adopted but for the adjourn
ment. "Accurate Information" is easy to bo ob
tained, iiinl theroforu our correspondent
should not attempt todony what Is generally
known to be tho facts.
If he wants to have things stated in his
own way he must interview A. K. McClure
and have tho stutenunn of the Timet cor
rect cd.
THE NATIIlXAbS.
As we have a few in our county wo will
give them the latest information. On Tues
day last about forty members of the eighty
comprising the Nsllonal greenback labor
committee met at the United States hotel in
I urrisburg for tl e purpose of nominating
candidates for jude of the supreme court
and lieutenant governor, Judgo Heiitly, of
Lycoming county, having declined tho for
mer and Christopher Shearer of llerks coun
ty, the latter. Among thoso present was
Frank 'lughes, of I'ottsville, who assisted
materially in dircc:lng tho movements of
the cu.nniittec
After remarks by a number of member! as
to the prospi cts of the party and as to the
best means of prosecuting the campaign,
the names of Chief Jusitc Agnew and Fur
man Sheppard were presented lor supreme
judge, Thn nomination of Mr. S'leppard
was soon after withdrawn and Judge Agnew
was selected by acclamation.
For lieutenant governor J. II. Sleek, of
Lycoming county was Humiliated on the
first ballot.
WASHINGTON bEI'TEIt.
Washington, I). C, May 23, 1878.
From the Committee appointed by Speak
cr llandall under Mr. Potter's resolution we
may li ope to get at the whole truth in regard
to Florida and Louisiana. What new state
ments of Iraud, if any, may be received, Is
of course matter of conjecture ; but well in
formed men expect ample confirmation of
much that has heretofore been denied when
charged, or which havo been mere conjecture.
The vigorous efforts of Republicans to pre
vent investigation showed that they feared
the result. It is not believed the Hale amend
ment, not accepted as a part of the resolu
lion, will be pushed as n separate measure.
It provides for an investigation into th
election in 187C in the S'ate of Mississip
pi.
In the memorable contest over the resolu
tiou Mr. Potter showed excellent sense and
admirable temper. Speaker Randall was
equal to the occasion, as he always has been,
and his ready and complete mastery of the
situation was tho more remarkable when it
is remembered that Speaker Blaine, perhaps
more thoroughly versed than any other man
in parliamentary law and tactics, was often
on the House floor giving aid and csmfort
to the Republican leaders. Perhaps because
be was one of the implicated parties Mr.
Garfield left to Mr. Hale the management of
the Republican side of the contest, and Mr,
Hale perhaps did as well as any one could in
a bad cause.
The immediate effect of the passage of
the resolution on the Democrats of the House
must be good. They were going from bad
lo worse in Hopeless dissension on various
matters and apologizing for themselves to
the Republican minority. This, I trust, is
over.and that we shall now see them insisting
unitedly, on tho reductions and reformation
promised at tho beginning of the session
and on the stump at the last election. Sena'
torMcCreery, who has not been given to
ovir much speaking, created a sensation the
other day by making nn exceedingly able
and effective speech in lavor of the repeal of
the resumption act. It was one of those rare
speeches which so briefly, clearly and forci
bly says all there is to be said on a question
that all that comes after it seems to be only
repetition.
In connection with the statement of that
eminent civil service reformer, Mr. Hayes,
that he should contribute to the Republican
campaign fund, and would be pleased if
oilier ohiclals would do so. attention is in
vited to a section of a law passed a year ago
by a Congresi made up of "machine politi
cians of tho two parties, which makes it
a misdemeanor, punishah'e by a fine of $500
and removal from place for one class of Fed'
eral ofTut rs in do anything of the kind. The
as3-vn,ients are now going on, however, and
though 1'i' v may not ha us open, as when
'Ax I Cuumller was at the head of affairs
they will bo just as certainly enforced.

The composition of the committee for the
investigation of tho Louisiana and Florida
frauds is such as tocucouraga the faint hope
that the Investigation w ill be conducted with
some measure of fairness and a great deal
of energy. Tho chairman, Mr. Potter, stands
high in his party, and has done nothing,
until he introduced the resolution under
which the committee is appointed, to earn
any particular ill-will from the opposition,
He knows tho Louisiana situation thorough

fair minded, as partisans' go, and Judge
Cobb, a new member, has ono of tho best

Ilihop Initio delivered nn claborato annual
address, in which ho earnestly .deprecated tho
evils of round dancing. Referring to tho
address of his venerated predecessor, Ilishop
Johns, in 1872, ho said that distinguished di-
vino warned communicants against tho incou-
latency of indulging in "a demoralizing dissi
pation," which ho denounced as "that lasciv
ious mode of promiscuous dancing stjded the
round dano." "This scandal," ho said, "is
not to bo tolerated in the church of Christ.
Ijct every appeal bo mado in tho way of affec
tionate remonstrance, judicious teaching and
earnest prayer for tho reformation of those
led astray, if Gol pcradveisturo will give them
repentance. If nil such efforts provo una
vailing to remove tho scandal and awaken tho
ffender to a sense of his sin and danger, and
it becomes necessary to resort to tho excrciso
f adtsciplino, it must bo done. I adopt this
anguago ns my own, that ho, being dead, may
yctspcak on this important matter. Perhaps
his words struck some as being too strong
and harsh when they were first uttered who
think very differently now, after six years' ob
servation and experience. Certain it is that
many of our wisest and best people, ministers
and laymen, judging tliotrcoby its fruit, havo
become alarmed let the effect of this dread
ful evil of round dancing shall bo not only to
injure pure and; undefiled religion, but even
to sap the very foundations of all social vir-
tuo and morality.
I will not discuss its chara:tor and conse
quences, lor whilo at. Paul wrote to the

will only say that I trust no man or woman
will bo presented for confirmation who means
to continue to participate in this abomination,
and if the ministers of the church havo no
authority to discipline communicants as noto
rious evil d iers who practico it, surely this
council should not fail to clothe them witli
such authoiity by canon.
This portion of the address was referred to
a committee, wlnrii reported a canon forbid
ding tho holy communion and confirmation
to persons who hibitiial'v inlulge in round
dancine. I'nder tho rul-x it renuired a two-
thirds vole to pass it nt this session, and the
canon was defeated Resolutions were, how
ever, adopted deputing the sinful practice
and urging that it bo di-e intinued by all good
members oftho Kpiscnpal church.

Attorney General Loar lias addressod the
following communication to Auditor General
Schell :
AitnisnuRfi, May 1 1, 1878. Wm. P.
Schell, Auditor General -Dear Sin, : Yours
of tho Oth in-t. in relation to tho claim of
Jane M'Murray for an annuity under tho act
ol April 9, 1869, 13 received. That act docs
not contain any condition that her annuity
Bhall cense when congress shall mako provis
ion for the soldiers of tho war of 181 2, aud it
is not affected by the proviso in tho act of
1868. Her right to, the annuity depends on
tho act which was passed for her relief, and
prior legislation does not control it. The
proviso in tho act of 1863, limiting the annu
ities to the ttmo when congress should mako
proviso for the class of pensioners described
in that act and the act of I860, is applicable
only to tho cases for which thoso acts pro'
vide, and not to such as are provided for by
special acts in which there aro no conditions
or limitations.and no proof required to cstab
lish the claims of tho applicants to the gra
tuities and annuities. And this is the case
witli special acts passed prior to thoso of
1860 nnd 1868, as well as thsso passed sub
sequently. But I am of opinion that the act of March
23, 1677, applies to all soldiers of tho war of
1812 and their widows who wero drawing or
entitled to draw any pension, annuity or gra
tuity. for services rendered by such soldiers,
and that tho amount was thereby increased to
seventy-five dollars, whether they had previ'
ously been provided for by general or special
laws. It seems a proper construction of tlio
act, especially 33 any other construction would
produce inequality without any apparent rca
sou for it. And tho acts passed at the pres'
cnt session of tho legislature and there havo
been several of them for special cases in
variably make the sum soventy-fivo dollars.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
GeoRon Li:ak,
Attorney General.
Under this decision all soldiers of tho war
of 1812, and their widows who havo been
granted annuities by special acts of assembly
without any condition that tho annuity shall
cease when congress shall mako provisions for
tho soldiers of tho war of 1812. will bo cnti
tied to reccivo their usual annuity of $75 in
tho usual manner.
Excitement on the Canadian border.
North Troy, Vt., May 21. A corres.
pondent of tbe.'associated press visited sev.
eral of tho principal towns on the Canadian
border and finds everywhere the most Intense
excitement prevailing. Tho Dominion mil
Itia are supplied with arms and ammunition
and are ready at an hour's notice to concen
trate their forces to repel an Invasion on the
Canadian border. The Boldiers claim that
nn doubt exists in their minds that an in
vasion is Imminent and that Irish national
ists are now in large numbers with greatest
Becresy possible making their way Into the
Interior of Canada witli orders to concentrato
at different points for an onslaught on Mon
treal, Quebec, Ottawa and other prominent
Canadian towns. Another theory advanced
is that the Fenian demonstration is merely
a ruse originated and conducted by Russian
agents in this country to engross the atten
tion of the Dominion government to her
home Interests and bring recruiting for the
English service in the Dominion to a dead
stop. Another theory advanced is that tho
demonstration has lis inception in the pro
vlnces. To ascertain tho extent of the
movement Is next to!mpossib!e,for all kinds
of rumors are rite. It is currently report
ed that arms and ammunition have for
weeks past been brought Into tho provinces
where they are now concealed, The rumor
that 10,000 men are congregated In the vi
cinity of St. Albans and Fairfield Is greatly
exaggerated. There are withoutdoubt, how
ever, large numbers of men scattered all
along the Hue.
Tho less Secretary Sherman has to say in
defense of the ouisiana frauds and iu de
nunciation of tho Congressional inquiry, tho
better for him. Mr. Sherman's assurance
that thero was no fraud carries no weight
whatever. It is simply tho plea of not guil
ty which he is expected to make, and wheth
er Ibis plea bo finally accepted or not, it Is
wholly unnecessary for him to abuse the court
which is cxpccfcd to try tlio Issue. Mr,
Sherman should havo thought about "revolu
tion" when he was in Louisiana in tho winter
of 1870. VMla, Timet.
Tho following la tho resolution of Mr. Pot
ter which tho National Houso of Represent
atives hai passeJ despite tho dospcrate ef
forts oftho guilty administration to dsfeat it :
Jtetolved, That n select comtnitlco consist
ing of eleven memlicrs of tho houso, bo ap
pointed to inquire into tho aforesaid allega
tion ns tn the conduct of tho persons in office
nforcaid, in ro'pect of tho snid election, and
into tho alleged fatso mid fraudulent canvass
and return of votes by stalo, county, parish
and precinct officers in the said states of Lou
isiana and Florida, and into, nil tho facts
which, in tho judgment of said committee,
are connected willi or pertinent thereto, nnd
that said committc, for tho purposo of execu
ting this resolution, shall havo the power to

oaths and to tako testimony.
At tho request of our Washington corres
pondent w Insert the following :
I In a recent letter from our Washington

who was represented ns having figured In n
conversation with a car driver in Washing

title of tho Chesterfield of the Seuato.
Ile)lteil lo Prepare for Death.
Dennis, alias "Ducky" Donnelly, who was
to have been hanged Inst Wednesday for
tho murder of Thomas Sanger nt Raven Run
September 1, 1875, was respited on Tuesday
by Governor Hartranft for twenty days. Tho
respite was obtained by Father Oallagher,
pastor of the Catholic church at I'ottsville,
and was asked for nnd granted on the ground
that Donnelly had not been allowed suffi
cient time to pje pare for death. Father
Gallagher communicated the news of the
Governor's respite to Donnelly, but as ho is
a man of iron nerve nnd had made up his
mind for the worst, ho manifested no emo
tion, and it is tho opinion of his keeper that
he (Donnelly) is actually sorry that his ex
ecution has been postponed,
The Juno number of tho Eclectic Magazine
contains the index to the half-yearly volumo,
which exhibits moro strikingly than a single
number could the exceeding richness and va
riety of tho literature that is gathered iuto
this sterling periodical. Hero arc enumera
ted upwards of eighty articles, no ono of
which is unworthy of its placo in a magazino
of the first class, and which, taken together,
furnish a vast amount of instructive and en
tertaining reading. The leading paper of
tho June number 13 a very valuable ono on
"Tho Americans in Turkoy," showing that
while other nations are wrangling and fight'
ing over the Turks and their subjects, tho
Americans havo been civilizing them. Few
even of our own peoplo have any idea ol tho
cnaracter anu extent 01 tne work which Ame
rican missionaries havo done and are damp

paper is a mot interesting d iscussion of tho
doctrino of "Future Punishment," by eight
prominent Knglisli clergymen and theologians.
