The Governor ot course expresses gratitu le for what he conceives to b a trrcat honor conferred upon him. i. e., the Republican nomination for the Presidency ; endorses the platform of Ids parly, which declares among other things that "President Grant deserves the continued and hearty support of the American people for his patriotism nn 1 his immense service in war and in peace"': pledges himself if cleeicd to conduct the ad ministration on reform principles; is willing to put tip with one term in the Presidential chair and promises never to ask for a re-election to that ofHce if the jeoplc will only take X'ompas-ion on him this time; pays he will suppoit all measures de signed to preserve the non sectarian character of the public schools ; will if t-lfcctcd divide tlie ottices without re cant to political preferences, butsimply j in the interest of honesty and effieien- j ey ; declares very earnestly, almost j frantically, to use the language of the !

Harry of the Cambria Iron Co., took time by the forelock and by traveling overland was arly on tlie ground, opposed, for reasons no doubt satis factory to himself, to both Darker and Campbell, and in favor of Gen. Wm. II. Kountz. of Somerset county. It j seemed strange to the friends of Mr. j Darker in the north of the county that ' Doggs would even go back on Camp bell, a man of Jiis ovn town, and sup port a Somerset county candidate, much as Darker knew how bitterly Hoggs was opjKJPed to himself jieison nlly. On the fjrst ballot for Congress Campbell had 55 votes, Darker 27, and Koontz 10 the latter vote represent ing the personal preference of Daniel J. Morrell, expressed through his henchmen, Harry Roeg3 and the courtly and elegant Col. James Cooper, rJso of tbe Cambria Iron Co., who was merely the shadow, although a very lanjc. one, of his confederate Roegs. And thus the heretofore invincible A. A. Darker, the old war horse of the Republican parly in northern Cambria, was made to bite the dust and surren der, at least for the present, his fondly cherished idea of a "second term." Dut ho died game, as thoy say. in sporting phrases, and with his on him. lighting like the veteran he is and always has leon, and as we hope he will be for all time to come. Will Gen. Campbell lie nominate:! by the conference of the district ? If he thinks so he is in our opinion hug ging a fatal delusion to his soul. With that event, however, we have nothing to do except to express our opinion, as we have done, and to take care of the future. C. T. RoWrts, of this place, was unanimously declared to be the choice of the Republican? of Cambria county for the State Senate, with power to select his own conferees. Mr. Roiterts is a good and orthordox member of his party and a gentleman in the fullest acceptation of the term. And thereby hangs a tah His competitor for the nomination is John A. Lemon, of RIair county, the present incumbent. Wo do not pretend to even guess which of those two gentlemen will be nominated, as we aie assured that there will 1-e a warm contest in Ihceonfcrenoe liotween the friends of both the candidates, and of course we must await the result. The convention then nominated for Assembly on the first ballot. John II. Drown, n young lawyer of Johnstown, and Dr. W. II. Sloan of Chest Springs. jk vourMj oowi tiiese genucmen were set up by the convention more for or nament than use. and with the fore gone conclusion that they will both be defeated. Drown will be. Ir. Sloan's patient during the campaign, while the Democracy will pdminister to both of them, the patient ar.d doctor, a dose that will be purr lo politically. Thomas Davis, of Kbonsburg, for merly of Jackson township, was nom inated for Shcriir on the third ballot over Jacob Trefl.2 and Charles Zim merman, both of Johnstown, and John C. O vics, of White township, Davis receiving ts voles on said ballot a n.ajoriiy of the convention. Davis, who has been well known as an active and vindictive Republican in this county for many years, has at last reached !ie ridiculous and fatal con clusion that the. day of his political deliverance from the grasp of the Democracy of Cambria has at length arrived, and that he will 1hj the next Sherilf of the county. This is not the time nor is this the place to arn-j that, question. It will be fully attend- ' im .,0 in, proper inno. wmn the merits of Thomas Davis and John Lynn, the Democratic candidate for I the tonic olllce, will be thoroughly c.'Vivnsc'l in these columns with' no earthly doubt s to the verdict of the people- at the b.-dlot-box. Irwin Rutledge, of Johnstown, and Richard Jones, of :indnrg, both renegade Democrats, were nominated for Af-sociato Judges. They will sink to the political deep with tlie balance of ti e ticket. And now con:es the inevitable James Cunningham, of Car roll township, oneo more to the front a? a candidate for I oor House Direc tor. The pursuit of ollico under diffi culties is a chronic weakness with Cunningham, lie has tried it before and knows ho:v it was himself, and he will kno'v how it is aoin. For Jury Commissioner, Thomas P. Dtnnm, of Rarr township, was nomi nated over George R. Stincman, of Croyle township. This was an inev- cusablc mistake, for the very plain j reason that it leaves tlie southern part j of the ounty without any choice in the j selection of jurors trom that section, 1 which comprises in population about i on half of the entire county. Rut such was the amazing stupidity of the Republican convention of this "county. Thus ends the first chapter of the Republican paitv of Cumbria fount i' a - - - 1, . in eompaiison with Reno' a loss. Tlie Crow scout who reported to the Far Wert proves to be the only survivor of Custer's charge. He says the Sioux com pletely envcloncd Custer, who killed his horsi IIo mg his. position repeatcoiy ana losing heavily. The Crow believes they lost more than Custer. Ono company, tha'y of Capt. Fniith. tried to cut its way out to the rear, but all were killed, and their bodies lay some rods from Custer, all in a little knot. Custer was among tho last to fall. Col. Crook, with bis heavy flowing beard, was the lust one standing that the Crow recog nized. Custer and command wero all killed within an hour. Custer's command having been finished, the Indians gathered their entire force about Heno, leaving the fcpiaws to mutilate tho dead and tort uie the living. Tho remains bear niaDy evi dences of torture. Some seeni to have been shot with arrow s while still living, and from others portions of their bodies were re moved. Tho heads of nearly all had been crushed with stone clubs. In some cases the heads were severed from the body. Tho entrails were taken from some, and from many limbs were chopped off. Somebodies were partly burned. A few were not found but nlothing belonging to them was found and recognized. No trace was found of Lieut. Harrington's body or clothing. Lieut. Do Hudio, of Reno's command, who boing cut off at the fud, hid in the bushes, relatis that a troop of mounted men passed near him, one of whom vas dressed in Tom Cu.ster's clothing buckskin suit, broad brimmed hat, and flowing neck tio. He called to them, "For GkTs sake, Tom, don't leave mo here !" and his cry was an swered by a volley, lie rushed for tho liver and dropped from a stern bank, and a number of braves, frightened by tho rush of the other Indians and the volley, also scrambled from the thicket to the river, and in the confusion which followed Do Hudio managed to escaje with his life. The latest reports from Iieithold Agency indicate that the Gros Ventres and Mandan tribes of Indians, hitherto friendly, have, joined the Sioux. Since the Cnstor disas ter they have been very uneasy. Sitting Hull was in constant communication with tho.so tribes last winter. AeTtv ami Other 3,'oiinfj. -After all, Grant had rather be tight than Fresident. Tbo .Xew York Worhl calls Carl ScLurz a "stem winding politician." More people have been killed by Fourth of July celebrations than fell in tbe Revolu tionary war. The ilmphie says Gov. Tilden loved and lost a UaUwvia girl, and is faithful to her memory. Radical can.paign lies this year arc so verv thin that it is scarcely woith while nailing them. Senator Morrill took the oath of office as Secretary of the Treasury last week at the executive mansion.

I narrosv ravine. fought desperately, tho Indians charg- tilated. The situation now looks serious. I on. lerry arrived at t ribbon a camp on a steamboat, and crossed the command over, and accompanied it to join Custer, who know it wiis coming beforo the fight oc cui rrd. Lieut. Crittenden, son of General Crittenden, was among the killed. A Salt Lake dispatch of tbe same date says that a special correspondent of the Helena (Mont.) Herald, writing from Still water, Montana, July 2d, states that Gen. ('ustcr, Lis two brothers, his nephew and brother-in-law were all killed, and not one of his detachment escaped. Two hundred and seven men were buried in ore place. The number of killed is estimated at 3W, and the .wounded at thirty-one. The In dians surrounded Major Reno's command and held them one day in tho hills, cut oft" from water, until Gibbon's command came in sight when they broko camp in the night and left. The Seventh fought like tigers, and were overcome by mere-brute force. The Indian loss ennnot be estimated, as they bore oIF and cached most of their killed. Tho remnant of the Seventh Cavalry and Gibbon's command are returning to tho mouth of the Little Horn, where a steam boat lies. Tlie Indians g"t all the arms of tho killed soldiers. There were seventeen commissioned ollieors killed. Tlie whole of tho Cus'.cr family dk-d at tho head of their column. The exact loss is not known as both Adjutants and the Sergeant, .Major were killed. The Indian camp was from three to four miles long, and was twenty milts up the Little Horn from its month. Tbe Indians actually pulled men off their horses in some instances. Wn.T has bcome of tho r.nti-Catholio movement in politics? is a question asked by the New York Sn.

On the platfurru alone there were 4. 000 people. The opening of the ceremonies was a grand overture, entitled the "Grand Re public." by Geo. P. Bristow, of New York.
