The editor of tbe Johnatown Tribune was a dckKt to tr,e Republican county convention which met last Monday, aud acted a somewhat conspicuous part hi its proceedings. We do not, howtter, regard tbe Tribune man as much of a succees in a county convention. He was a mildly mannered man in that body and no on would suppose that be was tbe same Indi vidual nfco pturs tut tbe vials of bis im potent math on tbe bead of tbe Demo cratic candidates through tbe congenial columns of hit Tribune. He will sing a very diCeient tune after the November election, and will Le fully convinced that his political ways have been dark and his political tricks have bceu vain. David C. Witel, ex-Iurgess of Car rolltown, who once claimed to be a geod and consistent Deu.oerat, and who was a delegate from tbe same town to tbe Re publican county convention on lat Mon day, and also a candidate for nomination for Assembly before the same convention, has no daubt arrived at the sensible con clusion that not only Republics, but Re publicans, are ungrateful. "Wetzel was hung on tbe radical gallows as high as l!auian, and we have no doubt is uow thoroughly convinced that, however strong may be tbe love of tbe Republicans of Cambria county for political treason, they nevertheless Late and despise the traitor. The New York Tribune of a late date publishes letters from benjamin F. Rut ler, Caleb Curbing, and other prominent individuals in Washington City, to Gov ernor Kellogg, of Louisiana, acknowledg ing tbe payment to them by Kellogg of certain large sums of unouey for their ser vices iu connection with the contest before the Senate, ia between Piuchback and McMillan, for a seat in that body. Tbe letters 'are admitted to be geuuine, and open up another dark page in the corrupt history of radical politicians. These letters were found iu Kelloggs office after he bad lied from tbe Stale House during the late troubles iu New Orleans. Tbeie are other letters yet to be published, making starttliiig revelations and implica ting at least two Senators. Tub Republican county convention which met here last Joue for the purpose of expressing its preference on the ques tion of a candidate for Congress in this district, ami having dwno so adjourned, re assembled in tbe Court House last Mon day to nominate a county ticket, reference to the proceedings of which will be found elsewhere iu our paper. The candidates composing tbe ticket are all respectable cit izens, so far as we have any knowledge of them. No intelligent and candid Repub lican, however, from White to Voder town ship has the most remote belief tbat ary cue man on tbe ticket has the ghost of a chance of beicg successful at tbe Novem ber election. He Uiight possibly draw a respectable piize in the Kentucky lottery, but to be tltcttd to oflce in Democratic Cambria under existing circumstances is a story only fit to bo told to the inmate of a lunatic asylum. It is true that some of the over sanguine friends of Captain Laps ley, of Johnstown, who is one of the nom inees for Ahsetnbly, eutcrlaiu a feiui hope that by soma political miracle he may be tiected, but thoir wish ia father to tbe thought, and if Captain Lapslcy himself cherishes sueh a belief he is laboring un der a fatal dolusiou. In no eveut can he us feat either John lUnnan or John Ruck except by about four hundred Democrats proving rtcieaut to their duty and cast ing their votes for bin. To suppose for out moineut that they will do so is the vuldest of political illusion.-'. Thiee times iu succes&iou Samuel Henry has been elec ted to the Legislature from this county by Dvinocralic votes, but that silly experi ment would not be repeated if he were again a oaucudale at the comiug electiou, and it never t;ui be successfully followed iu the case 4f Caitain Lanslev. le.snecta- ! Am editorial article of unsurpassed ma lignity which appeared in the Johnstown Tribune of last Friday, in reference to tbe candidates on the Democratic county ticket, has created a general feeling of disgust throughout the couuty. We had hoped that the present political campaign would be conducted by the press of both t, Allies in the county without indulging iu any personal attacks on the candidate?, and that crimination, which usually begets recrimination, would not form one of its prominent features. Such was oar own settled and determined purpose ; but the article in the Tribune referred to has sad ly d Isappointed all our expectations. What political advantage does the editor of tbe Tribune expect to accomplish by bis whole sale and indiscriminate abuse of the Dem ocratic ticket ? Does he imagine that all reason and common sense have fled from the minds of the Democratic voters, f the coun ty aud "taken refuge in savage breasts?" It would seem so, but we wtri him now, at the very beginning of tho contest, that he is bugging a fatal delusion to his soul. Are the Democrats of Cambria county all, or any portiou of them, either such fools or knaves as to bo eeduced from their sense of duty and be driven from their political propriety by the base calumnies and personal insinuation of the Johns town Tribune against the Domeoratio can didates? Such a uio(?e of political warfare is a disgrace and will only react with tre mendous and fatal effect against tbe par ty whose organ indulges'in it. It is un called for and beneath contempt. Is it anything against the fair name and reputation of John Hannan that he has heretofore been defeated, for Assembly by Samuel llonry? We are very sure that Mr. Henry is too much of. a gentleman to say 60. When Henry Clay, on a certain occasion, was defeated for Congress in his district, he told his constituents "to pick thtir fints and try'it once more" and the "brave hunters of Kentucky," did try it once more, and the gallant Clay was tri umphantly elected. So will it be with Jobu Hannan. If John Buck was appoint ed post-master of the small village of Car rolltown, with the approval of all its citi zens, is that any valid reason why he is not fit to be nominated by his party as a candidate for Assembly? Recause Wm. H. Rose was defeated for Assembly in 1871, no man will say that he is not now a fit candidate for District At torney. If John G. Lake, who was de feated in convention for District Attorney, dresses after the inanucr and style of the editor of tho Tribune, ought the former to be stigmatized as tho Beau Hickman of Ebensbuig or tbe latter as the Reau Rruminol of Johnstown ? Forbid it de cency and common sense. George Myers, who is one of the Repub lican nominees for County Commissioner, and a highly respectable citizenof his own township, was defeated at the election two years ago for the same office, but do we theicfore presume to say tbat he has no right to be again a candidate in 1374? Whenever we make tbat unwarranted as sertion "may our right arm forget its cun ning and our tongue cleavo to the roof ot our mouth." How often has Edwin A. Vickroy, an honored citizen of Southern Cambria, been defeated by Henry Scan Ian, the Democratic candidate for County Surveyor? So often indeed that it may be said that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." And yet Mr. Vickroy is again the Republican nominee, and if elected, as be will not bo, against Henry Scanlan, would make a most competent officer. In referenco to tho venomous attack against the County Commissioners, we have only this to say. Assuming that the County Auditors were correct in their re port, the Commissioners promptly sub mitted the decision of tbe question as a matter of law to the Court, and tbe Court, after hearing tbe evideuce, rejected all charges for daily pay while in tbedischargc hof duties outside of their oflice, but allow ed them all fair expenses, which Judge Dean fixed at a reasonable rate, and judg ment was accordingly entered for the amounts thus ascertained against An thony Anna and Wm. D. M'CleHand, two of the Commissioners Edward Glass, do ceased, the other Commissioner, not being charged by the Auditors iu their report with owing anything to the county. They peaceably submitted and are abundantly able to piy the amounts found against them, and either havo done so or will promptly do so at an early day. There was nothing whatever fraudulent iu their conduct. We will refer to this portion of tbe Tri bune attack hereafter, aud in the mean time we leave Martin F. Carapholl.the sue. ccssor of Edward, Glass, and who has only held the oflice by appointment since the last June Court, to take whatever remedy he and his couusel may deem best to pro tect his reputation against the foul libel contained in the Tribune against him. Thus havo we "answered a fool accord ing to his folly." Justus J Temple, Tho Waynesburg Messenger gives tho following sketch of the career of the Demo cratic candidate for Auditor General : Justus F.

Indeed, we believe that to the implicit faith and reli ance of Catholics in the teachings and moral exactions of its clergy is to be attrib uted the great success which attends all movements of tbe Church in the way of moral, social, and charitable work.

Jlr. Temple followed the I Democratic legislature to assist them, we profession ol school teaciimg for ten or twelve years working what he could at his trade night ar.d morning aud during vacations. He was married in In 1853, his name was announced by a fiiend, as a candidate for nomination for County Auditor, before the Democratic primary elections. When Mr. Temple saw the an nouncement of his name in the Messenger, he hastened to tbe town to withdraw it from the list of candidates, as he did not feel able to lose the time necessary to can vass, but tho present editor of the paper persuaded him to let his name remain be fore the people as a candidate. He did so, and was nominated and elected, and made one of the most efficient Auditors the coun ty has ever had. He served iu this impor tant but not lucrative effico forthe term of three years. Iu 1S5T, Mr. Temple was elected Register and Recorder, in which capacity he gave such universal satisfaction that he was re-nominated and re-elected in 18G0, almost without opposition. Before his second term in this offic;had expired he was nominated and elected Prothono tary of the county for tho term of three years, at the end of which time be was re elected by a very Urge majority. Mr. Temple commenced the study of Jaw with Robert A. McConnell, Esq., in 1857, at tho time he entered upon his du ties as Register and Recorder, bi.t could not be admitted to the Rar until after he left the Prothonotary's Office in lSf.9, since which time he has been practising with much success. Mr. Temple has been most courteous, prompt and efficient in every position ho has died since his boyhood, and being care ful and industrious, and withal a first rate financier, be hits acquired a very hand.-ome estate for this section of the country. True, he has been fortunate in some money in vestments within the past ten years, but the real basis of his success was bis judg ment, frugality aud close attention to busi ness. It is to such men that the State must look for an honest, economical and f.ithful discharge of official duties. Mr. Temple's whole life traiuiug has been such as to peculiarly qualify him for an ablo aud efficient discharge of the duties pertaining to the position of Auditor General; and should the verdict of the people in Novem ber next be in his favor, the State will have secured ite services of a faithful public servant in one of its most important official positions. Our neighbored the Hcj.uldicin, in his last issue, in elosiDg a creditable article in regard to the serenade given Mr. Temple, ou his arrival at home on Saturday even ing, the 19th ult., says ; 'We migbt just here tatj that Mr. Tem ple is the lirst citizen "ofireeitieouiity who has ever been houored with a position ion the State ticket, and although ha i3 adverse to us iu politic, we idust iu justice to himself stale thathefciH, as acitizn and man, all that could.be wished, andif thereis a Dem ocrat to be chosea forthe otlice of Auditor Goueral inthis'State, wewouldi prefer Mr. Tempi to any other name luentiouod in ihe Convftitiou for that ortice." la 'addition ,to the above extract we might stale that we have beard of many Republicans in this place who have declar ed their purpose to vote for Mr. Temple ia November. had no such reckless extravagance.

Who is it writes thus? Barnuiu should secure him he would be a greater curiosity than was Joyce Heath. JoeJe3"ei sou ought to copy right him ; he is funnier than Rip Van inklo.

Is 1840, says tho Pittsburgh rost, the Democratic party were put out of iwwer, because of the then prevailing "hard times. Rut the Democratic party did not control the banking interests of the coun try, which were in the bauds of tho Whigs, who claimed to represent "all tho wealth" of the nation Still the Democrats were held responsible because they had political control, and out they went. How is it now? Tho panic of 1840 was nothing compared to the distress we are uow onduring. The Radical party hs a vast majority in Con gress. It has tho President. It has a large majority in the Legislatures of New York Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, the States where most of the capital of the country is couoentratod. It has the Gov ernors of these States. Aud above all, it exclusively controls from Washington the national currency.

The staid, quiet portiou of Rucks county known as YVarminster township is now greatly excited over a strange elopement. It seems that about a year since a fancy colored man liaised Joe Palmer come t Warminster and engaged with Mr. John Thompson, one of the aris tocratic citizens, as a ruan-of-all-work. While thus employed it was noticed that he was quite intimate with Miss Annie Thompson, the beautiful, refined, and ac complished daughter of his employer. Shortly afterward Palmer was taken ilk and Miss Thorepson attended to him until the family prevented it by having him re moved elsewhere. But it seems that Miss Thompson's vitits were clandestinely con tinued to hiin. After his convalescence it is reported that Palmer said he would be even with Thompsons for funding him away from their residence daring his ill ness. Miss Thompson's father and mother did all they could to prevent any further inti macy between thir daughter aud Palmer, and she seemingly consented completely to their wishes. But neither they nor the community were preparud for tne denoue ment which has taken place. A day or two since Joe Palmer stated to various poisons tbat he was going West, and was noticed making extensive prepar ations. About the same time Miss 1 homp sou persuaded her mother to allow a visit to a neighboring township to make some purchases, bhe went instead to the rail road depot, and boarding the Philadelphia train, mot Palmer at the next station. A6 the young lady did not return at the time sins informed her mother she would, a search was instituted and the truth learned. The terribly dist racted parent at once went to Philadelphia, but although a most per sistent search.was made nothing of the couple could be learned further than that Palmer was seen in the neighborhood of the hay market, at Seventh aud Columbia avenue, the day subsequent to the elope ment. M iss Thompson is a great heiress, and has always been held iu the highest esteem by t he people of Warminster. Her parents are heart-broken at her rash act. Further eudeavors have been made for her recove ry, but no traces of the unfortunate girl have been discovered. The detectives re port that she is not in Philadelphia, and are now endeavoring to ascertain whether she is iu New York. Phil.

I Much has beon done fey tho Catholic Church aud tho societies connected there with, alone ; yet it was noticed with plea sure that, last, fall, during the'temperance excitement in New York and other cities, tbe clergy gave not only their presence, but their eai nest words aud the influence of their high example, to movements inau gurated by Protestant churches and socie ties for the suppression of intemperance ; and it is to be hoped that the day is not far distant when not only the entire Pro testant chnrch will bo a uuit in this great work, but that they will be found uniting with the Catholic church and its societies all over tho land, in this garnd reformatory movement.

' A Qi-ekh Hf.w Story From West Chester, Pa., there comes tho following sad story of a well-meaning hen : A man by the name of Lot Fithiau, of that place, had been tbe owner of a hen, tbat, to all appearance, was just like others of bor tribe, except that she had ceased to per form the functions of a well behaved mad am chicken she didn't lay any eggs. This was all tho more singular when it was ob served that she did not show a disposition to "cluck." The hen seemed to thrive and ate well, but it was evident she had something on her mind. She seemed weighed down with grief of some undis charged duty. A few days ago Mr. Fith ian killed the chicken, aud on dissecting her discovered twenty-eight full sized, well shaped eggs, the only difference between them and marketable eggs being that they were minus the bard shell. The cause of the poor hen's despondency was now ex plained. She had done hr duty, had pre paied her eggs for delivery, but owing to some obstruction nature refused to perform her share of the work. What would havo been the ultimate consequences of this had the hea been allowed to live on we are not prepared to say ; but it certainly is a strauge freak of nature, the similitude of which we have never before heard of. A Slioht Mistakk. There is a magis trate in a town in Indiana named Helser. A clergyman in the same place was called upon by a young couple, not long since, who wished him to join them in tho holy bonds of matrimony. Ho asked the bride groom (a soldier, by tbe way) for bis mar riage license. The man in blue responded that he had been engaged to the girl for four years, and thought that would do. The clergyman thought not, and remarked, as the speediest way to obtain a license : You had lietter take your girl and go to Helser !" "You go to hell yourself P re torted tho angry veteran. And seizing the bride by the arm, be d(ed her from tho house, wondering what manner of a pro fano minister he Lad -uctVitli. Ezchan.'jc, Lord Ripon's Convf.rsiojj. The Lon don correspondent of tbe N. Y. World says: I learn that Lord Ripon oonvertcd himself, and that neither "Cardinal Grandison," nor VMonsignor Catesby," aor any other priest had anything to do with it, nor did any one but the humble priest that recoived him into tho Church know anything about the conversion until he had read of it in the journals. The facts, as they are told me, are these : The Marquis, as a Free mason, felt himself challenged by the op position of the Church to Freemasonry, and ho began to examine tbe claims of the or ganization that thus assumed to denounce the society of which he was the head in Rngland. This investigation was fatal to his fait It in Freemasonry, and he pursued it uutil he was convinced that it was his duty to seek for reconciliation with the Church of bis forefathers. Thon he went very quietly to on of the fathers of the Oratory in Brompton, and asked to be bap tized ar.d received as a member of the( at fr olic Church. The priest, ignorant of tbe rank or name of hi.- penitent, gave him such instruction as he thought he needed, and then, as is the custom, baptized him "conditionally" that is, as in the opinion of the ('atholic Church baptisms by clergy men of the establishment may be void by reason of deficiency in form or intention, Anglican converts are always rebaptized conditionally, tho form being, "If thou bast net been already baptized, I baptize thee," &,c. It was not uutil the baptismal register came to be signed that tho prient knew who his convert was. Lord Ripon assisted at mass for the first time on Sunday (yesterday) at the- Oratory. He is the pa ttou of two livings in the Anglican Church. Now, according to the English law, an Is raelite, a Turk, a Parsee, or an infidel may be a patron of a living in tho Anglican Church, and may appoint a clergyman to that living. All the livings owned by Ro man Catholies go to tbe crown, and are filled by the Lord Chancellor. This is the case with those owned by tho Duke of Norfolk, and M the other English Catho lics. Lord Ripon, however, before his se cession, took the precaution of transferring these livings to his wife, who still remains a Protestant, aud thus tkey are retained in the family. A tf.rribi.e traokdt is reported from Lower Marietta, Lancaster county. It ap pears that a man named Strauss, a German by birth, has beon living unhappily with his wife for some time past. He is an em ploye at Watts & Sous' furnaces, and is said to have been a good and faithful band. Seven or eight years ago he was married to a woman named Annie Grady. The couile never were blessed with children, and on this account there arose ill feelings between man and wife. Strauss is describ ed as being a tall and handsome looking fellow, while his wife is his inferior in point of physical proportions. Wednesday night Strauss came home from his work about 8 o'clock, and upon his arrival he was greet ed with a storm of abuse from bis wife. Ho made no remarks, but quickly pulled a revolver from one of his pockets and fired the contents of one chamber at his wife. She, seeing the revolver, leaped to one side, thus escaping the deadly bullet Strauss, upon finding that his aim had proved false, dropped the revolver and ran into the yard. He went up into the lot about half way, drew a razor from bis pocket and deliber ately cut his throat, tho gash extending from ear to ear. In a few moments he was a corpse. The alarm was quickly given and a crowd gathered. An iuquest ou the remains was held, the verdict of the jury being ,4suicido by his own hand." It was said that the wife, after having witnessed the suicide of her husband, refused to have the body of her husband brought into the house, allowing that she had been badly treated during life and she cared not to have any trouble with tbe body in death. The deputy coroner, however, procured a cofhn and the body of tho suicide was plac ed within it. During all the silent hours of the night the corpse was allowed to re main in the yard, with but a solitary per son to watch ever it.

On tbe 10th inst.. the wife f Sam Henry, a colored resident of Saulsbury, ?Id., became the mother of four children. When informed of the. Taet Sam began to make preparations for a journey. "I ain't gwiae to live in dis heah Saulsbury no longer," said Sam.

At Pottsville Friday evening Thornrvs Farrell, on trial for the murder of Edward Bradley, near Minersville. in January lat, was convicted of murder in tho second de gree; after the jury had been out twenty-seven hours.
