Eiliitino that the almost universal sen tioaent of the democracy of Cambria is against the holding of the county convention at so early a day as the 27tb of the present month, and hoping that the Chairman f the County Committee might be induced to re c.gu:ze this fact and not insitt upon the meeting of the convention at the time stated v declined to publish his call in our la.t issue. Now, however, as that gentleman has made up his mind (even to the extent of having circulars printed to that effect and distributed throughout the county), that -the ball mut g on." let the consequences le what they may, we submit, for the sake of harmony and the welfaie of the party, with the lest grace possible, and this week publish the call in its proper place. We trust that the Democracy vi!l 8te to it that they ere fully represented by the best men m their respective districts ar,d siucerely hop that Kood reeling mjy prevail in the con ventiou and an unexceptionable ticket uomi Datrd. This done, and thete need be no fear of the result next October, notwithstanding the hasty. Mirousiderite ml unadvised action of the Chaiiinan of the Count? Committee. The II .use Committee on the District of Columbia has approved of the bill appropri ating J200.CC0 tcwaidsthe completion tf the Washington Monument. It appears that the uni of $280,000 has already been xpeuded upon the woik, that S3122 000 will be required to complete the shaft, and that the tn'ire cost of the monument is estimated at l,122.f'00. It would im a reflection ou the patriotiana of the American people, to expiess even a doubt of their approval of this appropriation by Congress to an object which so uearly concerns the houor, liberali ty, and pride of the whole country. Du'ina the last session of the Legislature of ibis State a bill was introduced luto the 1 wer branch, appropriating $10,000 for the purpose of aiding to complete this monu ice.it. The bill was never afterwards heard of. Of course Legislature that cmld squan der thousands of dollars of the people's money on such useless projects as Dates' His t ry and other kindred corrupt j .bs, could oot be expected to feel and appreciate the pt'iotic dnty of setting apart the paltry urn ..f 410 r.oo to perpetuate the memory and Ume ..t Ge..rKe Washington. The m.., i,ment ought to bo completed by th- v,. mitary contnl uMoos cf the people of .tie who! cunrry. That plan has already Iid tried and failed, for tie reason that what is every man's business will come to be lo Kfd upon as n; man's busiuess. It U ruht therefore that the representatives of the people should take the matter In charge, and now that they have done to. it is to be hoped that tbe work will bt steadily prosecuted to completion. Thomas Ar-IIelrlclis. No member ef the Democratic partj in the whole country erj lys its respect and con fidence to a larger extent than does Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana. He is a broad and liberal minded btatesman, and as a mru Ler tf the United States Senate he stood in the front rank of th ruot distiuguit-hed members of that body. His character in unsullied by a single stain, and it has always been considered safe to follow his. wise and prudent counsels. Much importance there fore has been attached to the views enter tained by him iu reference to the course to be pursued by the D-mecratic party on the question tf the Presidency, in the present j anamoloos condition cf political affairs. As many aud cot dieting rumors have found their way Into the public press as to the real ground occupied by Mr. Hendricks on this question some representing him as being in favor of the Ciuclcnati ticket, and others as favorinj a straight-out Democratic nomina tion by the national convention he hag au thored the Citciunati foquirtr to puhlinh the following statement, iQ order that his position may be correctly understood : " I will ninke no effort to influence tbe action of the national democratic convention, and I will abide by its decision. At thin lime, in view of the litCL that there ha been no mnrerl ..( .Ktinn ... , i. i -. ! ,-,. i ;, , 1 1 " 1 n,eu.

It is ims possible at this early (lav to say what the Jeel itif; of the mnsncs of the deiuorratic party in Indiana towurd the Ciccu.nati tiekvt is. As far as I cau judge, tho democracy ol Indiana will not occupy any decii'ed ground until alter the meeting ol the state convention, which takes place on the I2tli ct next month. That convention all1 :tty proba'dy decid lo nouii uate a straight democratic ticket, and refer the question of the presidential iiomination to the national convention. A lar as Jam coicertieil I (eel in duty bound to sus'ain the action ol the national convention If it dominates a straight democratic ticket I ill support it with 11 the real, ii flueiice and sbility I poess. II it indorses the nomination of Greeley and lirowu, I shall certainly support that ticket with equal real and energy. Any ther state ment of my position iu regard to this matter has been made without authority. The most significant and by far the strong est endorsement which the Cincinnati ticket has yet received from a Democratic Bource, was the action of the Democratic St te Con vention of Tennessee. The conveutioo met at Naahville on Thursday, the 9th of this month, evety county in the State being re presented, and having nominated Governor Brown for re election, adopted a series of resolutions, among which was the following, declaring it to be the opinion of the conven tion that it would be "unwise, unuecetsary and exceedingly dangerous to the welfare ol the people at large" for the Democratic Na tional Convention to nominate candidates for President nod Vice President: 'Inasmuch ma tht Convention of Liberal Republic! hus preson ed to the country the names of Greeley and Brown as o-iudid.Ues for President nnd Vice President, pledged to main tain ami enforce the cocliines above enunciated, and have invited the co-optration of all patri otic citizens iu their support, w deem it preper, and our patriotic dutv to declare in the content nigh upon us, that they deserve the support ol every patriot iu the land, as against a ticket representing the principles, policy and character of the present Federal administration, and while re.itfii uiing our purposes and desire to preserve the it.tesritv of the Democratic party, we do nevenhele.s declare in our own btliull', and, us e are well atishel. iu beh .ll of the people we represent, that iu our opinion, with the light beiore us. the prtsentjition ol candi dates lor the Piesidencv and Vice Presidency by the Demoerstic party et the nation, would be unwise, unnecessary and exceedingly di gerous to the wolfaru of lbejecple at large." The fifth resolution provides for the ap poictmeut of delegates to the Democratic Natioual Convention, said delegates to be instructed to carry out the spirit of the fore going resolution. Tub prospects cf electing Ilartranft grow ing small by degrees and beautifully less, three leading Rtpublicans cf this State visited Washington a short time ago and had a con ference with Grant and Simon Camerou in relation to the withdrawal of Ilartranft as the radical cst d.date for Governor. G ant regarded the proposition with decided favor and expressed a deep interest id the success of the October election in Pennsylvania ou account of the iLfluence it would exercise over the Presidential election iu November, while hit henchman, Cameieu, was sathfied with the retirement of Ilartranft. provided his relative, John B. Packer, was nominated in his place. Wheu Ilartranft, who is as wise a statesman as Grant, was told of this nice little arrangement, be gave the conspirators a Roland for their Oliver by modestly pro posing that U. S. Giant should retire from the field as an aspirant for another term, be lieving that if he (Grant) is a candidate be will seriously eudaugei his (llartranft's) ejec tion. The important questiou now is, will Ilartranft throw up the sponge to save Grant iu November, or will Grant decline a re nomination to prevent the certain defeat of Uartranft in October? Our opinion is. that they will both ilick, and that the defeat of the one will be the precursor of the fate of the other. It became tbe duty of the Connecticut Legislature, now in sessiou, to elect a Sena tor of the United States to succeed Geo. O. S. Ferry, whose term of office will expire on the 4th of March next. Gen. Ferry is a Re publican, but his course iu the Senate has been conservative and fair, and fr that rea son alone he was repudiated by the radical caucus and the Domination given to General Hawley, a thick and thin supporter of Grant's administratien. The democrats be ing in a minoiity in tbe Legislature formed a coalition wnh the republican members who were disaatisfied with Hawley's nomination, and at the election, which took place last Wednesday. Ilawley was defeated and Ferry elected by a vote of 133 for Ferry to 125 for Han ley. This result shows what can be ef fected by a union cf democrats with liberal republicans. Wherever it has beeu done on lair and houcrable terms, it tea uniformly eucceeded. LETTER FROM OHIO. Nkwbckgh, O., May 11, 1872. Friend Mac.: Thinking a few jwords ftom here might cot be uninteresting to some ef your readers. I will venture to write a short desctiption of Newburgh and vicinity, as well as a fw items of general utws. Newburgh is pleasantly situated abeut six miles fiotu Cleveland, on tha line if the Cleveland aud 1'ilibburgh . Atlantic and Great Western Rnil Uoad. It contains about 10,000 inhabitants, oud is remarkable for its rapid growth. Newburgh is a man ufactuiiug town, having several rolling mills a stool mill, and other manufacturing establishments. In the steel works is loca ted the "big hammer." said to be the largett la the country. It strikes with the ciurdncg weight cf one hundred and thirl six tons when doing its "level best," ehsikiug the ground for a considerable distance. The Urand Duke Altxis on his recent western tour visited Newburgh to fee She "big ham tner" and witness the precess cf making steel rails. The Duke visited the several mills ar.d expressed himself well pleaded with his visit. You may have an idea of the capacity of these mills when I tell you that they consume three hundred and sixty tons of coal per day. Iu regard lo places cf worship, Newl urgh cau compete with any of her neighbors of tqna) population, having no less thau ten ct urches, most of which have been eiccU-d within the last few years a manifestation of considerable energy and piety on part of the inhabitant?. Ou Sunday last IU. Rt-v. Bishop Gilmour visited Neburgh for the fitst time since ht. installation, and was met by a large del egation ef the Temperance Scietv. headed by liev. J. F. Gallagher, pasb r of New burh j receded by a baud of music and followed by a large number of the congregation. The streets along the line of march were thronged with people eager to catch a glimpse cf the Bishop, who arrived about three o'clock, p. in. Alter administering the sactameut of Confii matioo to 102 persons, the Bishop re paired to the steps of the Town Hall, (the church not being siiCjcitot to admit hall the multitude ) where he preached a very able and eUqiient sermon to a large audience composed of members of all denominations. The lecture was a masterpiece fiom begin ning to end, and made a very favorable im presssion upon a!l present. The Fkkkman comes to hand regularly and ia always a welcome vi-itor, being brim full ot choice reading. We wish the Vee man and i:s editor a long aud properous ca teor. Yours, truly, F. P. M. GkeelsT and Bkowm. Horace Greeley was born in 1811, iu Amheist, N. 11.. and is therefore sixty-one years of age. Until the age of fifteen ho remained ou his father's farm, when he entered a printer's office in East Potiltney, Connecticut, as an appren tice, and learned the art of type slickiug. He remained there five years ; went to lurid. Pa., wbeie he stayed a few months, and iu :32 he tru Iged into New York, minus finsns ces and with a rather thin outfit, and secured a position as a "jour" printer. The following year he went into business on his own hook with Mr. Francis Story aad started th 6rt daily penny paper ever published in the world the Morning l'csthut it proved a financial failure in three veki and was dropped. After engaging in different enterprises, he started the Tribune iu 1841, and has been identified with it ever since. In 1848 he was elected to Coi.gresa and served ono year. His history since is famil iar to every bt dy. B. Gra'z Brown is forty-six years old, and was born at LtX'Lgtou, Kentucky. He adopted the leal profession when be became of age aad settle 1 in St. L mis ; eutered the Sute Legislature at the age of twenty-six ; soon af-er became connected with the St. Litiis Democrat, aud edited it from 1841 to i860, started the Republican party in Missouri iu 1356 ; raised and com manded a regiment in 1 8o" 1 subsequently a brigade ; led iu the abjliiion of slavery in Missouri iu I9G4 ; was United States Senator frm '63 t 'C7. and was elected governor of Missouri on the broad platform of general amnesty in 1871. He perhaps, preceded any other Republican as the founder of the liberal party. CoxstycENTlAli Damages. The admin istration at Washit gion has got itself into a nice fix by the coustruing the treaty be tween this country and England on the Ala bama claims so oa to demand consequential damages fur injuries to our citizens aud their property during the rebellion. There is not a people in Europe that does not candidly admit that the laws of natious are at va riance with any ouch demand, but the ad ministration, playing the role of demagogue ism more than statesmanship, biuudertd into this foolish demaud. and now cannot Get out of the dilemma without aacrifiirxi the honor of the country.

The destruction of the two rtewjpapers of Somerset, the Herald and Whig and the Democrat, accounts for the fact that no com plete account of the conflagration in iht town has been given to the public. The lor-s of these newspapers is estimated at fif teen thousand dollars. We learn, snys the Hariishuig Patriot, that Mr. Hoffman, the editor of the Democrat , has made arrsrge meuts for the issue ot his paper this week, using a prss and type at Salisbury, in Som erset county. The unfortunate editors will have the sympathy of their brethren of the press. Extensive fires have been racing and are still in progresJ a the forests of Eastern Now York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Thousands of acres have been burned over. In the night time the mountain along the Hudson river, as seen from the steamers and crs. present the appearance of grsat iiti f Hna miles In extent. In the woods of Minnesota and Michigan fires are also rag ing. While in New Englaud. where there has been scarcely any rain for a year, the country is literally drying cp. in other re gion it is beginning to burn up. The need of raiu is generally felt all over the country. There is now living at Reading. Penn sylvania, a man named Jacob Hartman. who has attained the age of ninety years.' during eighty seven of which he has beeri totally blind. He lost his siht when a child three years old by his brother thrust ing a shoemaker's awl into his eyes. He kept a tavern for forty-five years, taking the active management of it" was his own bar-keeper, and was so expert in the hand ling 01 money that any attempt to cheat him was futile. He is also a mechanic havin repeatedly taken his clock apart and put it together, and toned and repaired mu sical instruments. Fathkr McMahox, the Irish Catholic clergyman who was captured by the Cana dian forces in the first Fenian raid, at Fort Erie, died at Reynolds' Station, near Lifay ette, Ind., a few days ago, from disease con tracted during his three years' imprisonment. It will be remembered that be was sentenced to be hanged, but tlirouah the earnest efforta of Secretary Seward the seutence -vas com- muteu to imprisonment lor lile. which was afterwards aoridged to the term above given. At the time of his death Father McMahoo was in charge of the small tiarieh t nolds. and was dearly beloved by his people. lie was a native ol IJramgaloh. County Monaahan, Ireland. He was pdnrat.l f..- the priesthood at the college of St. Sulpiel. Montreal, and was oidained by Bishop Crit len for the DIocgmj of St. Paul, Minnesota.
