It is from the able ami caustic pen of Judge Jkreiiiaii S. Black, aud is a masterly production. Lie gees etraight for his object, audjjjin his Own peculiar style, arid never fails to hit ii It if? refreshing to read such plain fin J vigor ous Saxon. Is reference to tho cancer curing propen sities of the Cundurango tree, about which we published a lengthy article last week, wo lay before our readers a circular which has just been published by the Department cf State. Although tho first supply of the wood has been exhausted, tho government will very soon receive a large amount of it. when its merits will be fully tested : The State Department has reeeired a large number of letters from parties in different parts of the country asking to be supplied with some of the Cundurauso, the recently discov ered cancer remedy, brought to the attention of the government by the Ecuadorian minister. The applicants nre answered by circulars, as follows: Sir "J n compliance with your wishes I enclose a copy of correspondence which has p;ised between this deparfmenf , the minister of Ecuador, credited to the United States, an! the minister of the United States at Quito, relative to the discovery of a vegetable called Cunderargo. The limited supply of plant with which this department was furnished ha.- been exhausted." It is said by Dr. Bliss, of this city, who has charge of the experiment, that the remedy has been successful in all cases in which it has been administer? J. Tite Ohio Radical Convention met last week and nominated Col. Edward F. Noyes for Governor. After the return of the San Domingo Comtni.-sioner3, Ren Wade, who was one of the illustrious trio, was put for ward as the Grant candidate for Governor of that State. Benjamin published a letter, in which he aid, like Barkis, that he was willing. A fhort time afterwards, fearing the unseaworthiness cf the Grant t-bip, he declined to take passage in her. Very late ly, however, he relented, and returning to his first love, said again that he was willing and would accept the nomination. The votes cast for him in the convention wade too lightly iu the balance to do Benjimin any good. Indeed, we think that more votes were cast for that ubiquitous individual. Scattering, than for Wade. Neither did the convention endorse the San Domingo swin lie, nor did It re-nominate Grant. Tho Democrats expected the Bucke3e Radicals to re-enact the dodge so successfully played by Peter C. Shannon in the Radical conven tion of the State and had strong hopes it would have been done. As it is, the Ohio Radicalshave unceremoniously buried Wado, San Domingo and Grant in one common political grave. iSic transit. Tlie M:tt!i IleNQlution. Whilo all tho Democratic papers In the State, without a Eingle exception, recognize tho eminent fitness of the nominees of the Harrisburg convention, and give them an en thusiastic support, opposition has been man ifested in certain quarters to what is known ns tho nintli resolution of tho platform. That resolution is in tho following words: Resolved, That we recngniz-j the binding obligation of all the provisions of the Consti tution of the United States as they now exist, and we deprecate the discussion of issues which have been settled in the manner and by the authority constitutionally appointed. Although much might be said about the inexictand bnngling phraseology of the con cluding portion of the resolution, against which wc enter our protest, the substance of the resolution meets our approval. One would suppose from the excited tone and temper of thoio who find fault with it, that th'.3 resolution was the peculiar offspring cf the Ilarrisburg convention, whereas in point of fact precisely tho same sentiment was embodied iu tho platform of the Virginia conservatives two years ago, and on which they defeated the Radical party and elected Governor Walker. It has, therefore, a re. spectablo parentage. In the address to the people of the United States by tba Democratic members cf Con gress at the close of tho last ses-ion, some weeks before the Ilarrisburg convention, the ull scopd aud meaning of tho ninth resolu tion were expressed and urged upon the Democracy of the Union Lr their acceptance. They deemed it wiso policy, aud so thought tho Ilarrisburg convention. Since then the position assumed by the Democratic Con gressional Address has been endorsed by the Democracy of Ohio, Tenucssec, Wisconsint California, New Mexico, aud Maine, and will eventually become the acknowledged rule of action of the Democratic party everywhere, unless it should be stricken with judicial blindness. The nitnh resolution, while it does not en dorse the fifteenth ameudmeut, recognizes its binding force, and that negro suffrage is a doad issue. It simply acquiesces in it as ft fixed political fact, without sanctioning the bate and fraudulent means resorted to by the Radical party to procure its ratifica tion. Politics, like misery, make a man ac quainted with strange bedfellows, and one is often compelled to acquiesce in that to which he is bitterly opposed. All democrats for example, acquiesce in the legal tender act, and will do 60 until it is repealed aud yet there is not a Democrat from Maine to Ore-, gon who believes that Congress had any authority under the constitution to enact it. What do the enemies of tho ninth resolu tion expect to accomplish by a continued agitation of the question of negro suffrage? Will that mode of warfare, as tho two par tie? now stand in Congress and are likely to stand for somo years in the Senate at least, strike the fifteenth amendment from tho constitution and take the ballot from the negro? No! Why then agitate the ques tion and make it a party issue in the next Presidential campaign ? To d0 eo is just slut Horton od other Radical loaders con- fidently expected, and what they boastingly predicted the Democracy would do. That course wotdd inevitably defeat ns in 1872, and tho refusal of the Democratic party to be caught in tho web woven "for it by the Radical ppidcr lias dissipated all the bright dreams cf a Radical victory, based on the insane folly of its opponents. By Ignoring the fifteenth as well as tho other two amend ments from the next Presidential contest, the Democracy will place that struggle pro Ciselyjwhere the Radicals did net expect and do not desire it on tho sins of Grant's weak, unsatisfactory, despised and corrupt admin istration. Living issues press upon ns and demand our serious reflection and energetic action. Let the dead past bury its own d?ad. Dj not. as the gifted Yailandighnm said, tie the Democratic party to a corpse. If that par ty, by a united and vigorous effort, cannot strike down the consolidated despotism which is purely overshadowing what of constitu tional liberty is left if it cannot conquer and drive from power tho present adminis tration by assailing it at its innumerable de fenceless points that result, in our judg ment, cannot be brought about either by the discussion or agitation of negro suffrage. Jolm Scott's Committee. The committee appointed by Congress, of which John Scott is the chairman, to inves tigate so-called Southern outrages, is rapidly , coming to grief. Its unsatisfactory perform anca h;i3 not come up to the Ligh-soundicg tono of the manifesto. At Washington it has come to be regarded as a miserable fail are. This result was predicted at the ont eet, and if the committee had made a per sonal visit to the alleged insurrectionary districts in the South and taken tho testi mony of respectable and competent wit nesses on tho spot, instead of sitting at Washington, the true state of affairs could have been perfectly ascertained and its dis comfiture would thereby have been tho more complete. Of coue some evidence has been procured from interested and untrustworthy sources, which at first sight would appear to answer the foregone purposes of the com mittee, but wheh the truth has been elicited theso damaging statements are found in somo instances to bo greatly exaggerated and in others wholly invented. A studious ef fort has been made by tho majority of the committee to prove the existence of the "Ku Klux Klan" in Alabama and that grievous and atrocious outrages have been commit ted by its masked adherents on peaceable and including citizen?. The attempt has proved abortive, the evi.Ionco of thoso most likely to know establishing the fact that the people of Alabama are obedient to the law and that there exists in that State am plo security to life and property. On yes terday week, IIou. Richard BusteeJ, former ly of New York, who was appointed Judge of the United States District Court of that State by President Lincoln, was examined by the committee. The following ia a con densed report of his testimony, and u di rect aud to the point : Washington, June 23. lion. Richard Bus teed, Uuited Scute District Judge of Alabama, was examined to-day. In reply to a fjuestion by tiie chairman, he said he had been told con fidentially a year and a half ago by a citizen of Uiiiitsviile tint there was a Ku L'iix organ ization in the northern part of the State. Llis informant, however, did not tell him the ob ject, nor did he know from auy other source. Jle believed now there was no such organiza tion iu that State. Ilaving been asked whether there was any danger to perion or property, ho rey lied, these were as safe as in any other State in the Ui.ion. Since the administration of Goverrnr Limlsnv, and the retirement of Governor William II. Smith, public quiet and tranquility were essentially preserved. As to the character of the persons holding subordin ate official positions under the State constitu lion, he said it was geuerally notoriously bad both as to inelligenee and honesty, lie had been in the State since 183, having previously been appointed judge by President Lincoln. There hd been no obstruction to the adminis tration of his oflice or the laws of the land, except in one instance, when the Republican Auditor of the State disobeyed the injunction of the court, for which he was fined and im-p.-iaoned. The greatest respect was paid to the judicial authority by lawyers, senators, and jurors, and all other parties. With regard to the feeiing or the people toward the general government, he thought it was to obey the laws, however obnoxious they were, although there was a deep-seated conviction that they were not equally impartial. Ilaving been ques tioned as to the testimony of the Rev. Mr. Lakiu, parts ot which were read to him, he said it was entirely uutrue. Lnkin had repre sented that thirty three indictments had been found in Custeed's court for violation of the Civil Rights bill, and had been tried, but the truth was that only one indictment bad been found, and that had not yet been tried. On ex parte inquiry it appeared to be a serious case. Lakiu is a man wha is apt to m-tkc wild statements without acurate basis. He had al ways charged the jury to obey the laws, how ever distasteful, as it was within the power of Congress to enact them, and that it was for the best interest of the community to respect thent The testimony of other residents of the State, men of acknowledged integrity and veracity, who have appeared before the committee, is to the same purpose. But if any additional evidence were wanting to prove the shameless falsity of the charges of wide spread violence against person and property in the South, including Alabama, it is conclusively supplied by the editor of the Daily State Journal, the organ of the Republican party in Alabama, published at Montgomery ,who, in his paper of June 2Sd, thus speaks of tho aspect of affairs in that Stato. Such a statement, coming from bo responsible a source, ought to silence the malicious slanders of the political dema gogues who originated John Scott' elec tioneering committee. "We have lived in this Sute for more than a quarter of a century, and have never felt in secure in person or property on account of po litical opinions. We are sincere in our Repub licanism, and we feel safe because we love our people and honestly believe that we nre pursu ing a course that vil I redound to their peace, happiness and prosperity. Those men who call themselves Republicans and who are con tinually Irvine: to get into oflice, 6tlrrinff up dis order and strife, and poisoning the minds of voters in secret uens at miduiglit, where honest in en ai.d sincere Republicans are plotted agaiu.-.t simply because thoy are honeat and sincere, and have social standing in the com munity, may feel unsafe. We endorse no such libel upon the whole people of our State. Radical vultures, Ku Ktux office seekers of every party, are doing us more harm as a peo ple thaw all the libels ever written. We be lieve that every honest roaa is safe in Ala bama, no matUr what his politics arc" To lUe Z'eoiJle cT I'cansylvanla. Afltlrews of tHc IJciiioorafic fSJaic Cen tral Committee. The Executive Committee of tho Demo cracy of this State, to whom the following address was referred by the recent State Con vention, now present to you the same as em bodying some of the reasons which actuate and control the organization they represent. We here solemnly renew our often repeat ed declaration of fidelity to the great princi ples upon which our party has acted from the time cf its first organization. Our ulti mate objects are those of our fathers when they adopted the federal constitution, viz: "To form a more perfect union, to establish justice, to insure domestic tranquility, to promote the general welfare, to provide for tho common defens?, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." We sincerely believe that the government of the United States, administered as it was in former days, with a direct view to the ad vancement of these principles, would (Jo for us and for our children all that any people can reasonably desire from the political sys tem under which they live. We are equally sure, that, if not carried out in the spirit of those by whom it was framed, it must be come a curse instead of a blessing. Situated as we are.obedier.ee to the fundamental law means not only the hoceit performance of sworn obligations, but freedom, peace, and prosperity to all classes cf the people. On the other hand, the usurpation of interdicted or undulegated power is not only a crime in itself, but the fruitful uareut cf other crimes, and will had, as it has already led, to in definite misgovemment. corruption, and tyranny, subverting all liberty, and render ing the lights of all men insecure. When we speak of the federal constitu tion. We mean tha whole instrument, with all its amendments, and acknowledge tho equal obligation of every part. Several of those amendments were carried by brute force, and by frauds upon the public will so glaring as to take from their authors all claims upon our respect. But wa cannot deny that ibey have actually become- a part of the constitution ; nor can we avoid that fact, or get behind it, by showing the corrupt miscondact of the men who at that time controlled Congress and mastered the State Legislatures. Whosoever swears to support the constitution must perform nil that is '"in the bond." Any change which experience and reason shall prove to be desirable m3t be made in the prescribed way, and uot by revolutionary or disorderly means. No candid person will deny that the leading men in power at Washington have been unfaithful to their duties. They have broken the pledges they made to the people, and, in reckless disregard of their oaths, they have violated the plainest provisions of the constitution. They have deprived the States of their sacred right of self-government in matters rurelv local, and disarmed them of the pow er to enforce their own i ws for the preservation of order within their own boundaries ; they have pas-ed bills of pain3 and penalties operating ou millions at once without regard to the guilt or innocence of the parties ; they have trampled on all the securities of life, liberty and property ; treated the halcas corpus law with contempt, and denied the right of trial by jury ; they have sent out swarms of their hireling agents with, instructions to kidnap, impriaon, and kill free citiaeus for political of fences, without judicial accusa tion, without warrant, and without lsgal trial. They have not only trodden on the great principles embodied in the original constitutian as it came from the hands of its framcrs, but eveu the amendments, which they themselves interpolated, have been broken without remotsa whenever it suited their interests. In dafianco of the XHIth. they have doomed many persons to the worst kind of "slavery or involuntary ser vitude" in the public prisons, without the protence of any "crime whereof the party was legally convicted in the face of the XlVth, they have abridged the "equal rights" of whole masses of white citizens; without the least respect for the right of universal suffrage, guaranteed by the XVth, they have interfered both forcibly and frauds ulently to prevent fair elections, and to set them aside after they were held. These outrages upon justice, liberty and law have been perpetrated, not during the conflict of a civil war not in the moments of. wild passion, or heated excitement but in cold blood, upon deliberate reflection in a time of profound peace, in full view of the consequences and their authors have fol lowed out this line of policy, step by step, with a peisisteuey which shows their fixed determination for the future, as in the past, to be bound by no oath, aud hld by no promise. Tho two last and most important of their anti-constitutional measures show more dis tinctly than others their settled design to ttranglo the liberties of the uation.and take perpetual power into their own hands. The force bill authorizes the President, not only to invade the States at bis pleasure, but by declaring martial law, to subvert all gov ernment. exct?pt what consists of his mere will. Under the election law his cannon is planted directly against the freedom of State elections. Already the bayonets of the executive have gleamed aiound the poll ing places of tha people in the city of New York and Philadelphia. Who can mistake the meaning of these preparations for the next Presidential election ? Who doubts that warning and rebuke are needed now to prevent the administration from carrying out its purpose by force? If the warning be not given by the people, or fail of its prop er effect, can we hope for peace ? It seems to ua an error to suppose the American peo ple tamo enough to be kicked under the yoke of a despotism, or iguorant enough to be juggled out of the great inheritance of free government which their fathers left tfcem. We complain of onr present rulers for lawless usurpation of power. Power uot delegated is always abused. In this as in other cases, usurpation has been accompa nied and followed by corruption. Frauds without number, and almost without limit, have been committed.on tho public. Men of the worst character for common honesty are permitted to occupy the highest places. Of tho money collected from the people, and not stolen before it reaches tho Treasury, a large portion is squandered by Congress on party favorites, or corrupt rings, and on base combinations of public plnnderers. The enormous extent to which this financial corruption has been carried will become manifest to any one who compares the ex penditures of the government during the six years which preceded and the six- years which followed the civil war. Both were periods of peace, and there can be no ex cuse for mora than a small increase corres ponding to the ra.io in which the popula tion has advanced. But where the ordinary expenditnTos for the fiscl year ending June 1. 1870, exclusive of Indian annuities, pen sions and interest on the public debt, were $14S,CC9,922.43. for the year ending June 1, 1SG0, the expenditures for the same pur poses were but $55,918,183.72. Hers is shown the difference betweeu the ordinary cost of carrying on our government when its agents aro honest and the cost of the same thing when its agents are so destitute as to disregard all legal in tbn heantv and freshness tbey contribute to produce;" the secure tranquility of a regal establishment may sometimes be a compensation for the burden it imposes; but a rotten republic i3 at once the mot costly, the most oppressive, and the most unsteady of all political structures. To support the extravagant corruption of au administration like the present, and at the same time pay the pensions and the interest ou the debt, would require heavy taxation at best. But the party in power has contrived to make the taxes doubly burdensome by thsir mode of levying aud collectingjthem. Great gangs of unnecessary officers are supported aud fattened out oi them. They are in many cases imposed, cot with any view to the supply of the public treasury, b.ut solely to operate as bouuties fur the benefit cf individuals and private corporations. While the mouth of labor is thus robbed of the bread it earns, the fortunes of mononolists and ringmasters are hideously swelled, and their rapacity inflamed for still further aggression upon the rights of the industrious masses. The necessity of revenue reform is admitted on all hands, and by none more fretdy than by candid supporters of the so called Republi can party in Congress, but the majority is so completely controlled by private interests that considerations of public duty have no influence upon them. No people can be wholly enslaved so lor g as they havo the protection of an independ ent "and upright judiciary. The Radical party, feeling this, havo tried by all means fair and foul, to make the federal judiciary an instrument to aid them in their crusade against the law of the land. They have filled the inferior courts, especially in tho South, with their most unscrupulous parti sans. Again and again have they con structed aud re-constructcd tho Supreme Court somatimes by reducing, and sotne titues by increasing the nnmber of judges always with a view to make a majority which could be relied on to indorse their anti-constitutional legislation. When the judgments of that august tribunal curtained the ancient principles of liberty and justice, its authority was denounced, disobeyed and contemned. They have interposed in a pending crfo with legislative decrees to tak away the jutisdiction of the court, and pre vent it lrom protecting a citizen whose plainest right they desired to invade. We solemnly trust that they have not yt-t snc cecded, and will never succeed in bending the court of last resort to their foal purposes. There so-called recou? truction laws arc a series of experiments fur the reduction of tha Southern States to the lowest eondriion of political slaverv, hoping thereby to make them instruments fjr the enslavement of every other section. To this cud they have net only refused them a representation iu Gjugress, but forced them t bo misrepre sented by persons who carno there to get oppressive laws enacted against them. They have steadily struggled to make tho State governments the tools cf their partisau tyranny. Wherever they have fully fucn ceeded thy have debauched the adminis tration of justice, disregarded the popular will, and produced the most frightful dis orders. Scalawags, carpel baggers, and the most ignorant cf the negro population, wel ter together in one mass of moral putrefac- tion, scourging the respectable and peaceful citizens with their dishonest exactions, These outrages are opanly justified, and their encouragement declared to bo necessary for the good of the radical party. The foremost members of Congress have avowed their de termination to legislate upon them with reference to the chances it may give them of j carrying future elections. In other word, the worst wrongs and the mosi shameful violations of common justice are committed in order that a certain combination cf poli ticians already in power may continue to rule us for their pleasure, aud plunder us for their profit. Of Giiuc-ral Grant we desire to spssk with the respect that is due to tho chief magis trate of the nation and a s ldier of great repu tation. But it is painlullv manifest that ha is not fit for h i place. He has never made tho slightest efforts to preserve, protect, or defend the constitution. On the contrary be has given to its enemies in Congress all the aid and comfort he could, and he has assumed, without scruple, powers which kings are careful not to exercise and which no republican ruler can hold without moral offence to popular liberty. Instead of guard ing the public treasury he has encouraged the corrupt extravagance of Cur.gress, and 6ome of the worst fbs have had their or igin in the rings which immediately sur rounded him. Before and about the time of his election his enconsisteot expressions showed that he had no convictions (perhaps no knowledge) upon public affairs. He avowed openly in writing, over his own camo that he had no policy, that is to say no opinions or sentiments which would con trol his choice of measure. But leading aud ambitious men of the Republican party pro posed to him a policy which would serve their interests at the expense of equal rights and they accompanied their suggestions with offers of enormous presents in money, lands, houses and goods far exceeding iu value the annual salary, which tho people agreed to pay him for an impartial aud just adminis tration of their government. Lie accepted the presents, adopted the policy and appoint ed the donors to ofiice. It will surely be admitted that all Amer ican citizens who believe these facts to be true are bound by the sacred obligations of patriotism, honor and conscience to oppose this state of things and by opposing end it if possible. The person interested in pre venting a change will ask how, to what ex tent, aud by what means we propose to make reforms 1 The question is a fair one and we will answer it briefly. It will be the duty of the Democratic party, and, to the extent of our authority, origiually or delega ted, we hereby pledge ourselves and oifr as sociates, so far as in us lies 1. To put the ship of State once again on her constitutional track and hold her bead firmly to that course. 2. To protect individual citizens of all parties, clnaes and creeds in the enjoyment of life, libe'ty. property, reputation and the pursuit of their lawful business, by an im partial administration of justice in the ordi nary and establiaed courts. '3. To preserve the powers of the general government in their whole constitutional vigor ns our sole defence against foreign ag gression, the safest bond of union between different sections of tho country and the only sure promise of general prosperity. 4. To maintaiu, unimpaired, the reserved rights of the States, not only because they are guaranteed by the federal Constitution, but because tba State alone can safely be trusted with the management of their own local concerns. 6.

By order of the Democratic State Execu tive Committee. William A. Wallace. Chairman. CaptalJJ James Cooper. Tho following sketch of the Democratic catiidate for Surveyor-Ger.e ral is fuller, than any we have seen bafore. It is taken from the Lawrence county Democrat, ad will be read with interest: Captain James Harvey Cooper was born in Ross township. Al'egheny county, Pa., Slarch 5. 1840. He lost his parents when quite voting, and removed to Lawrence county "iu 1853. He attended tho common schools until he received as good an educa tion as could be obtained by such means. lie then engaged in mercantile purmits with his brother in Mount Jackstm. At the break ing out of the rebellion he uu!,e?it itingly made up his mind tc enlist, his love of conn try overcoming the persuasions of It's frieuds and his prospects in busii:ei. He was elect ed orderly-sergeant of the Meruit Jackson Guards, which afterwards became known as Battery B. of the urt 1'ennsylvauia Arm W7 hut mure freouentlv taking his ov name Cooper's Battery. To write of what he did durb.g his term of enlistment, woclJ only be to re-write the hintory of that gal lant organization of men. He was an active participant in the battles of Dt"ainsviHe, MrW.irvil!p Gaines' Mill. New Market t X Roads, Maivern Hills. Gainesville, Second Buli Run. Chantilly, S-.-uth Mountain, An- fetam, r rodenclisourg, fcccna Liianceii.rs vllle, Gettysburg, Maine Run, Rapi.'.an River, Wikien ess, Lnure! Hill. Sputtsyiva nia.Court House, North Anna River, and in front of Petersburg from thy middle of June, HC.4. until the S:h of August, when, after hftvincr served fir rvrr three rborlths more than the time for which be enlisted, he was honorably discharged. Before leavii g, all the effects of the regiment serving with tho Army of tho Potomac, signed a petition to the Governor for his appointment as Colonel of the regiment. It received very strong endorsements fre-m General Wain wright, commanding the Artillery Brigade, General Hunt. Chief of Artillery of the Army tf the Potomac, and Geu. Meade. This petition he never presented. Gov. Curtiu after wards in conversation with a mutnl friend, regret ted that Captain Cooper had not presented it, as he said it would have been a pleasure to l.im to promote ro gallant an officer. The Governor commissioned him Major without any solicitation. We feel safu in asserting that no man in the army wa-5 more esteemed by his brother cflicers, for thfse noble and manly qualities which make the true gentle man, than was Cnptain Gxper. His reputa tion as a soldier was without a blot. lie was the special favorite of that other gallant sol dier. General John F. Reynolds. Words can scarcely convey to the reader the high esti mation in which he was held by ail those with whom he came in contact. At the first battle of Fredericksburg, when Battery B stood immovable the only opposition ou the left of the line to the enemy marching to the river in the rear of the army General Rey nolds said, "Captain Cooper is one of the bravest and coolest men under fire I ever saw." His name is known all over the State. As to integrity cf character, he is known si.fficiently well to our readers gener ally to make it unnecessary f r us to say any more than that his straightforward, cpen, frank disposition is only equalled by his modesty and unassuming yet easy manners. His kindly beaming ej-e is the index to a no ble, benevolent heart, and the casual ac qnaintance is won to fast friendship. His business qualifications are of a high order, and the oflice of Surveyor General could be placed in no better bands. lie is also a self made man, and a representative of the labor ing men of the country, having for the past four jears worked day after day on a saw mill, where with coat off, he was laboring to regain his business, fortunes, unfortunately but completely sacrificed while battling for his country. In thi too he shows the true spirit of the gentleman, adverse circumstan ces being powerless and in vain to discouraga ami defeat him iu business life. For all these and many "other reasons, hundreds of voters throughout the State, without regard to party, will cast their bal lots for Captain Cooper. The Democracy in placing onr favorite on the ticket, expect a good report from Lawrence county at the next election, and we aro assured she will do her duty. Let ns all go to work now, and take a native pride in one who so nobly sustained the reputation of onr county in the "times that tried men?8 souls." General McCandless, tho candidate for Auditor-General, is a favorite in Philadelphia and tho eastern part of thoState, and to gether, McCandless and Cvoper make one of the strongest and be6t tickets the Democracy has ever selected. The wonderful ice cave in Dccorah, Winnesheik county, Io., is a vcrtcal fissure in the face of the cliff of Trenton limestone that forms a part of the bank of the Upper Iowa river. It is about on hundred feet deep in all its windings, is from two to eight feet rn width, and varies still more in height. Ia the winter the cave is free from ice, but Dpon the approach of hot weather the ice begins to accumulate, and solid, bard, and dry cakes encrust the sides and bottom of the cave. When the weather is hottest the cave its most abundantly stored with ice.
