Th: f ireenback National Convention, which met at Chicago on Wednesday of last week, nominated Gen. James B. Weaver, of Iowa, for President, and E. J. Chambers, of Texas, for Vice Presi dent. Weaver is the present member of Congrcs from the sixth Iowa district, lie became a member of the Greenback party in W7, and prior to that time was a Republican and supported the two ad niiiiWtn.tions of Grant. His principal competitor for the empty honor was Jh :, li :!; 1. Wi ;gid, of this State, who. hiring the last four tars, has performed mi a Democratic horse and on a Green back horse, hoth at tin .-'Oit time, in the political circus of Luzerne county, with thn most unparalleled success. A letter couched in highly compli mentary terms and signed by seventy eight residents of llarisburg, whowere i'.her soldiers of the late war. or will ows or orphans of men who died for their country, has lx-en addressed to General 'olVroth. extending to him their sincere thanks for the speech delivered by him in Congrt ss on the lth ,t last month in favor of the bill to establish a Court of Pi nsions. The fact that the .ig:uTs of this tribute to Gen. Cofi'roth are doubtless all entire strangers to him, shows that his watchful care as a nuinK t of Congress over the interests of wounded and disabled soldier-, as -.veil as . willows and orphans of deceased veterans, isapprt ciated by them to their fullest extent.

Tut: IVuutcra'.io National Convention ' w ill meet at Cincinnati on next Tues- day, and we hoie to le able to send out j with the next issue of our paper a sup- , plement containing the entire proceed- : ings. The convention will be composed ! cf some of the ablest and best known ' Democrats in the Union, each State I ! having taken care, as a general rule, to select as delegates Us most trusted iarty I leaders for the important business com T'nliV-f. most' unlike most. , mitted to their hands. similar conventions that have heretofore been held, it will contain remarkably I few iixstructol delegations, probably not more than four out of the thirty-eight States havLig expressed any direct pre ference as between the candidates. The convention will, therefore, be a body peculiarly fitted for mutual consultation and the fullest and freest interchange of opinion between its members before the time for decisive action arrives. Fore warned by the stupendous blunder of the Chicago convention, the Democrats who will assemble at Cincinnati will be fore armed, and will take care not to put for ward two candidates like Gartield and Arthur, and by so doing be compelled from the very start to wage a defensive instead of an aggressive campaign. We i feel entirely confident that the conven ! tion, in the conclusions at which it w ill j arrive, will fully meet the expectations of the Democracy of the whole country, j ; and that no Elector il Commission, nor i ! any other fraudulent contrivance, will ever le permitted to interfere with the : verdict of the people in favor of its nom inees. The convention will contain 7:$8 delegates, and under the two-thirds rule ; tit;! votes will be necessary to make a nomination. Hie eight I eiritones and the District of Columbia will not be rep resented by two delegates from each, as they were at the Chicago convention, which contained 70'V members. The Republican organs are now en gaged in furnishing their readers with a large and varied assortment of incidents. .slid to have occurred in the childhood life of Garfield. The voters of this country, who make and unmake Presi dents, are not particularly interested in manufactured reminiscences of Gar field's childhood, either at the age when he was "muling and puking iu his . ., ... .., ! nurse's arms, oi au ine I'eiiou biioiliy 1 subsequent to that w hen he proudly ar rayed himself in pant? and went w illing ly or lazily, as the case may have been, to school. All these "incidents" in Garfield's youth are trifles light as air compared to the real business now in hand, and what the jH'ople propose to find out is what manner of man James A. Garfield has shown himself to be shtee he appeared upon the public stage, and at length, by a sudden turn of the political wheel, has been thrown to the surface as a candidate for the Presiden cy. Does ins career in Congress during seventeen years prove him to be a man of integrity, or does any part of it show the very reverse? Does his Congres sional record show that the people can safely t rust him in the Presidential office, or that it would be a hazardous experi ment to invest him with executive pow er ? These aie the questions which will now be pushed to the front, and in the solution of which the jeople are specially concerned. It is almost five months . until the flection, and when Mr. Gar field's opponent is put in nomination next week at Cincinnati, and the cam paign is fairly started, the men who will decide between them by their votes will be afforded ample time and opportunity lo sil't the fal.;e from the true, and thus ! arrive at a wise and intelligent conclu- ' sion. The couutrv Republicans throughout the especially the leaders of that party in Congress, with the single ex ception of Conkling, are sorely perplex ed to discover how Chester A. Arthur happened to be put on the Chicago tick et for Vice President. There is a sub stantial reason for their solicitude in re ference to this vexations- question, for it is the supreme wonder of American politics how Arthur was the man select ed for the second highest office in the government the man who, if elected, w ill preside over the Senate and w hoin a certain contingency would become the acting President. Ho is, and always has been, the subservient creature ami tool of Roscoe Conkling. ready ami will ing at ail times to execute his imperious demands in their minutest detail. He is Cor.kling's most active and efficient agent in running the Republican 'ma chine" in tho city of New York, and is as well known as a lobby agent at Al toona as Bill Ktmble ever was at Har : l isbiirg. He was Collector of the Port of New York, and so disreputable was his administration of the office, that Mr. Hayes, on the strength of charges pre ferred against him by John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, for abuses long continued and constantly increas- i ing. removed him from office in order i that its duties might 1m discharged "honestly and efficient ly." This is the ! man who has been selected by the Re- : publican party, in national convention , assembled, to preside over the Senate j ail office that has lecn filled by some of the lest and most distinguished men : the country has ever produced. Noth- I ing so completely shows the downward tendency of our politics, and never bo f,,r,. ;is so iVigrant an innlt offered to the people. - Tin- kl md Treasurer of the ! ted Slates in New Vork has notified Secretary Sherman that unless the silver dollars blop inuring into the vault from the min, that receptacle will soon over flow, and he will be in trouble to know what to do with them. The Treasurer says he has ovtr :e knudfA l"ns c'f sil ver dollars on baud just now, and that nothing will j-ersuade an body to accept them in payment of debts due by the government when they can possibly avoid it.

Two years hence 158-2 two great events, the founding of the youngest of the '-Old Thirteen Colonies'' and the birth of Washington, w ill lie celebrated. ... , ,- oj.-riif nil- An association has been formed in this city for said purpose, and it is designed to make the demonstration unusually imposing and brilliant. The province of Pennsylvania was fifty years old when Washington was born, and consequently the two hundredth anniversary of our Commonwealth is the one-hundred-and-fiftiet h of the birth of our first President. Hence there is a peculiar propriety in having this magnificent celebration in I Pennsylvania. So far as the celebration ot the one-liunureii-anu-niiieiu anniver- ; sary of the birth of Washington is con- ; eerned. it w ill be national, and it is ex- pected that ail who desire to show respect 1 for the name and memory of the fore- ; most man of his time in distant States and foreign countries will take part in the demonstration. Every American w ho can will celebrate the Sesqi."i-Cex-tenni a i. ok Washington. In the year lsio a fund was started in this city by the Society of the Cincin nati for the purpose of erecting a monu ment to Washington. By investments and contributions, the fund now aggre gates $1:7,hxi, wliieh. with a fund for that purpose deposited in one of the banks of the city, w ill enable the society to carry out their intentions. This ar tistic monument is to adorn the Park, George's Hill having been selected for its location. It is not strange, when it is considered how many of the great events of Wash ington's career took place in this state, that the people of Pennsylvania feel more than ordinary i uteres, in the fame and history of Washington. While this feel ing is rife, your correspondent suggests that our Stale a-lso honor in some man ner the memory of William Perm, who first established the principle of com plete freedom of opinion and worship, and laid the foundation of a peaceful and prosperous common wealth. THE HKT RITE IK AC 11 !..-. On Monday, the Uh instant, a con signment of naturally ripened peaches from Atlanta, Georgia, was received in this city. They were the earliest nat u raily ripened peaches ever brought here, being sixteen days earlier than last year. The peaches sold for ?2.:J"i per peek and were really delicious looking. Yourcor rcspondent didn't "precipitate. "' how ever, as the price .vas a little too steep for anybody !ut well-to-do people to in dulge in t he luxury. tup: whipping po-t and pillory. In their final presentment the Grand Jury of this city lor the May term some what surpised Judge Bid lie by recom mending the establishment of the whip- ping-ptt and piilorv in this State. The Judge denounced the whipping-post, be- lieving it would not be for flu welfare of the community to revive that mode of ' punishment. The jury represented the ! prisons as being overcrowded, and after ! setting forth that a short term of impris- ; onment, with comfortable quarters and , wholesome food, is not adequate punish- inent for certain offenders, recommend something similar to that now ir. vogue J in Delaware State as the best mode" of j overcoming the present evil of over- ; crowded prisons, in which the jury is j right. The professional thief, the adroit i : swindler, the confidence man, the well dressed pick(ocket and the brutal wife beater should all be publicly whipped and in a very short time there would not ie one of that class of offenders for every fifty that now prevail. Incarcera tion to a sensitive man maybe painful ami humiliating enough to accomplish all the objects sought to lie obtained by punishment to prevent a repetition of his offence, but for such offences as referred to the punishment should be severe, short ami decisive. The wife beater, the well dressed pickpocket, etc., atter a scDiirg- ing at the whipping post will not repeat matter w ithou any war at all. As it is. their offences. By all means let the t the expanse of freeing the :i. .TOO.Ofio ne state have whipping-posts for the pun- groesat the South was about $2,000 each ishujent of this class of offenders. The ; including superannuated the crinoioo action of the Philadelphia Grand Jury will at least be a comfort to the Dela- I ware people, who have had to stand a great deal of abuse for their adherence to the whipping post and pillory, to know that a Grand Jury in the city of Brotherly Love has had the courage to suggest that these venerable institutions are not without merit. Nothing can render a man more effectually infamous than a public lashing. Let the lash be applied. THE REAL STATESMAN. ' When the House V io increase the p?r diem pay cf the Night Inspectors of Customs from ?2.o0. to S3 was in tLe Senate for passage, Mr. Bayard advoca ted and Mr. Beck opposed it, saying it i.cvtv "I'lii n. .-irtyuii; !t was iniiily "incrtwinsr tlm Keimblican eanipaign rinuj. - ir. liayara ml it had never occurred tobiin, in legislating as to tlie conijj'insatioii of employes, to hi'iuire wheLher the employe was a lie publican or a Democrat, nor did he jro post; to time his votes with any relation to an election, by voting one way Ix-fore and another after.

Bavard "r 1 THE COINAGE OF THE TTNITED STATES MINT. Recently two millions of dollars were sent from the mint in this city to New York on an order from Washington, and there are now stowed away in its vaults about thirty-two tons of silver dollars, representing one million four hundred and twenty thousand dollars. The Phil adelphia mint commenced in January last to coin thirty millions of dollars in " and .2.50 gold pieces, and at present contains largely over twenty-four mil lions of dollars in gold and silver coin. It will also coin one million of silver dol- ; lars during the present month. ! THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. The pedestal rests upon a broad base, ; to lie 30 or 40 feet square and 8 or 10 feet high, and will he reached by flights of i steps on each of the four sides and will j have a fountain at each of the four cor- . ners. Presiding over each of these foun- j tains is a recumbent figure, a trapier, an j Indian chief, an Indian squaw, a young ' person who may be a frontiersman, prob- ! ably the trapper's wife, while in attend- ; ance on these distinctively American ! men and women are distinctly American : beasts, such as bisons, grizzly bears, ! mustangs, and so on. The whole affair j will stand about fifty feet high. If the ; design is not ideally iertect, it is com forting to think that it might have been a great deal worse. This design for the Washington monument in this city, : which has been selected from the five designs placed in competition before the ' committee of the Society of the Cincin- j nati, is the work of the German sculptor, ; Sermerling, of Berlin. j GIVE US HA YARD. The candidate put forward by the Re- j publican party, with all his political ; sins, has one virtue, which is a fair re- 1 cord on questions of finance. With all the other scandalous transactions which aie matters of record against him at ' Washington, he starts out on his politi- ; cal voyage with favoring wind and .; weather on the financial quest ion, which i is the great question of the day, and to I meet a candidate so well equipped in this ' respect the Democratic party must put j forth their best man. The Democrats have one man w ho meets, at every ioint, j t lie need of the hour, and that man is ! Thomas F. Bayard. His record-, not j only on the finance question, but upon all the uppermost questions of the day, j is clear and statesmanlike. No other i man will be presented at Cincinnati who ; so fully meets the exigencies of the time, j In States with clear Democratic majori- j ties his canvass will take care of itself, while in all doubtful States with him as a candidate all the vigor and push of ; the campaign could be brought to bear, j Mr. Tilden has a grievance, it is true. I but he has made himself a record with i his trrievance which has sunk him in public esteem, and a campaign in it is : favor would be a defensive one, and a ; defensive campaign is the last thing the : Democrats should think of in the pres ent state of affairs. The Chicago nomi nations have done much to clear the way ; for Democrats at Cincinnati. The.sitn- at ion demands that the Democratic can- ' didate for the Presidency should come from the East, and that he should le a j man w hose record is so made up as to j win the confidence of Eastern voters. ; Mr. Bayard is as popular in Massachu- : setts as he is in Maryland, ami would re- ceive the votes of all conservatives. , With such a man in the Presidential chair the nation would breathe free ' again, lecauseall parties would feel sure ; of a clean and reputable administration. G. N. S. Mrs. Mary Newman Brister, who was Ixirn in Montgomery county, Pa., on June 8, 1780, has celebrated her one ' hundredth birthday. She was never sick in her life until last year, and tiien she had a fever, which prostrated her , for a short time. She is now in exceil I ent health. Mrs. Bl ister's maiden name : was Fry. She was married in Philadel ; phia in llOto George Brister, who was five years her senior. He went to war in ;112, and was at the battle of New ;()rleans. He died in l-"0. George Fry, i Mrs. Brister's father, was a potter, but followed the business of transporting goods by pack horses from Philadelphia ! westward. He was born in Bucks coun j t in 17:in, and was in Braddock's cam : paiirn against the French and Indians, ; in 17".o. In l.'!.'!, at the age of 10:5, he ; started from Fhiladelplra to walk to ' Indiana to visit a relative who was liv ing there. He walked all the way to .Cincinnati, whence he wrote back to his family. That was the last ever i heard of hi.n. I It is a remarkable coincidence that ! Garfield and Arthur taught school in i the same room remote from their pres ent places of residence. North Pownal, Bennington county, Vt., formerly known as Whipple's Corner, is situated in the souwi western corner ot ine state, anil bv ! t,ie "?'al traveled road is an hour's ride irom .vew oik. through the corner of Vermont, by way of North 'Pownal, into the state of Massachusetts. In l"tl. Chester A. Arthur, fresh from Cnion college, came to North Pownal, and for one summer taught the village school. About two years later James A. Garfield, then a young student at Williams college, several miles distant, in order to obtain the necessary means to defray his expenses while pursuing his studies, came also to North Pownal and established a w riting school in the i same room formerly occupied by Mr. i Arthur, and taught classes in jennian- ship during the long winter evenings. It is aptly suggested by the Raleigh (N . C.) Observer that, admitting the cost, direct and indirect, of the rebell ion to have been as Secietary Sherman states it in his recent reply to a Con gressional resolution of inquiry ?o.K00- mKj,iiu it would have been a good deal cheaper if the Government ha.l rmrelms- j ed the Southern slaves at $."i00 apiece all j around. That would have settled the and the pickaninnies. As Beniam-ln Franklin would say, that was paying rather?dear for the whistle. The most disconsolate part of the business in that not withstanding the negroeswere bought at so high a price they betray a disposi tion to go back on the Republican? by voting with their old masters. riiiln Mjihia lirrnrd.

Weitzel and Fretz, bosom friends, wrestled fur sport at a picnic, at Day ton, Ind. Fretz was thrown violently, and be appeared to feel his defeat con siderably, though he laughed over it. A little later lie took np a shot gun to fire at a bird, clumsily missed the mark, and shut AVeitzel through the heart. The loiiit to determine is whether the kill ing wa-s accidental.

Williams, a young colored , man, is tltecensns enumerator of the ' Ninth ward of Burcyrns, O. Several years ago Williams was run over by a train of cars and lost both arms, which ; were taken off near the shoulder. In the absence of hands to write with he has learned to write by holding a pen or jiencil betw et n his teeth, and is able in this way to produce a legible style of penmanship. He writes very rapidly, and in his work as enumerator takes an average of two hundred names a day. Howard's wile deserted him at Iola, Kan., and positively refused to return to him. He procured the service of two clergymen, w ho accompanied him to her father's house, where she was living, and spent an entire afternoon endeavor ing to effect a reconciliation. Ho. yard was willing to promise anvttiinir she de manded, but she stubbornly resisted all arguments, and the ministers gave up the task. That night Howard broke in to the house with an axe, chopped his wife frightfully, and would have killed her if her father had not shot him dead. A terrible tornado swept through the southeast part of PottawRttoniie county, Iowa, Wednesday night of last week. The track of the tornado was altout half a mile wide, and demolished everything in its course. Almut ten persons are known to be killed, and twenty in all are known to be missing. Not a house was left standing in the track of the storm. Men. women and children were blown a great distance, some being killed and others badly in ! j u red.

When the ollicers entered his oflieo he wa found I manipulating one-dollar greenba?k notes in such a manner as to make ten dollars : out of nine. In his trunk, in a sleeping ; room adjoining his office, were found a ' regular counterfeiter's outfit of plaster j of paris, various metals used in making : bogus money and moulds for making i five and ten-cent pieces. A man named , Bm-kingham. who was in Hill's office at the time, was also arrested. A telegram came to the Wesleyan ; Female Seminary at Cincinnati for Mis? Mary Beach, daughter of a Mate Sena tor, saving that her father had died sud denly of apoplexy. The school officials ; gave a ready assent to her s;eedy de parture, and did all they could to assist ; and soothe the seemingly grief-stricken girl. She was joined at the depot by a ; young man whom she introduced as her cousin. He reallv was her sweetheart. ; and had sent the inessace accordinir to i a previous nnderstandinir with h'.-r, not ' because her father was dead, for he was ! not. lint to t liable her to i;et out of the ' seniinary and elope with him.

BlackSilks Such a stock as Black S affords the best test ofV-e spirit of a merchant. It con. stitutes too large a part cf h -trade to be trifled with ; arj as he conducts that, so he considers it wise to conduct the rest of his business. Yc!u have here the clue to his p. licy. If he sells showy silks at a low price an 1 Ca!'s them cheap because tiny are showy, or if he sells heavy silks at a low price and oils them cheap because thev are heavy, he cither dots not know his business or delibe rately cheats. To be show is nothing; to be heavy i3 nothing. A showy ' silk'' may be nearly all cotton; a heavy silk may be nearlv C dye ! We are frank enough to say that few salesmen or mer chants can tell a pood silk from one that is not good; and often, when a bad slik is sold, neither the merchant nor his salesman has a sus picion of the fact. But the great indurtrv c! silk-manufacture, usin mil lions upon millions of capi;J and thousands upon thou sands of human lives, is rut conducted in ignorance of raw material or of its pro duct Few undertakings cf man are based on more txzzi knowledge. Do you ima gine, then, that there r.ced be any considcraMe uncer tainty about the quality cf a silk which we place before you ? There is necessarily just this ground of uncertain ty, and no other : a good silk is sometimes spoiled in the last process of manufacture, and the fact can be found out only by wearing it. The buyer's problem i? how to get the certain fjocd and avoid all that can be avoided of the uncertain bid. And this is the answer: buy of a merchant whose general plan of business is to deserve your confidence by never be traying it, either thiough norance or indifference ; ar.i whose dealings are Lre enough to give him the best in the market at the hot:." of the market price. This is all that can be pr fitably said about buying silks in general. It covers the whole ground and is the whole science of buying f:: V i JVliJ Va-V - technical, and very rre knowledge of goods. But very likely you war.: to Know wnat we mean l. c good silk, and what goo; silk costs. By a good s.A we mean one that will r.u disappoint reasonable expec tations as to appearance cither when new or old. A good silk may be go here for a dollar.
