Our Count}- Tlfket- In another column will be found the proceedings of the democratic county convention. Our ticket is now iu the field, and the campaign opened. There is no reason why the democrat ic ssajority in old Centre should not be increased this year. We have good men upon our ticket ; men of standing and character, aud all of them old and well-known cititeus. For Assembly HON. JOHN H. ORV was nominated by acclamation for re flection. Mr. Orvis is to well known to our owu people, that it is neediest for us to introduce him to the voters of this county. He is oue of the ab lest democrats in this commonwealth, and his course last winter, as our rep resentative, was such as not only to attract attention all over use state, but it gave him au enviable reputa tion outaide of our own commonwealth. Mr. Orvia left Harrisburg with a record of which eny ene might feel proud, end he bes becu an houor to the people of Centre county who chose him. He has been faithful to every interest of the commonweelth end of hie constituents. There is noth ing in hie record that can be showu unsound, and the radicals will fail to trump op something against hint. His course must meet, and docs meet, the approbation of every honest voter of this county, republican or demo crat. Let the honest meu attest their appreciation of a faithful aud able public servant by giving Mr. Or via an increased majority. For Treasurer JOBS b. mitcbsl, of Ferguson, was nominated. The choice of the convention must be acknowledged as a well deserved one. Our nominee for this important office is one of the mast respectable citizens of this coun ty. His character is spotless, and his honeety and democracy unimpeacha ble He deserve* the full democratic vote, in fact he should have the vote of every honest republican who desires to see the funds of the county in safe hands. Democrats, now since the nomination is made, lay aside all feel ing that may have existed previously, and surrender cheerfully your former preferences for the choice of our con vention. For Commissioner JOHN G. sankey, of Potter, was re-nominated. He is also a good, honest man and consistent democrat. He ie well qualified for the position, and we know will guard well the in terests of the county. He has done noble service in the democratic ranks for many yean, and the nomination is well-deserved. Rally to his support, then, democrats, and elect him by an overwhelming majority. For Jury Commissioner and Audi* tors we bave Michael Grove, of Ben ner, for the former, and Maj. Samuel Frank, of Jfeils and [A. J. Greist. of Union, for the latter. Maj. Frank for the unexpired term of Hon. John Smith, who refuses to serve, and Mr. Greist for the full term. They are all good and tried demo crats, and men better qualified for the respective position could have been selected. They both sustain spotless characters, and are among the moat esteemed citizens in their own homes. There democrats, of Centre, we have presented to you the ticket nom ioated on last Tuesday, by your au thorised representatives, it now be hooves you to ratify their work at the poll*, on the 2nd Tuesday of October ■ext. Democrats, organize, and let every max be a worker; let us determine to give an democratic ma jority in old Centre, at the next dec As examination of the record re venal the fact that not a single Sena* tor or Representative from the so called Southern Stataa has returned to the Treasury his portion of the back salary. The carpet-baggers ail hold oa to the plunder ; so do all the repre acatativesin both branches of Cou- Eas from the Republican Btates of naesota, Nevada, and Nebraska. Nat long ago, saya the Age, Repre sentative Wilson, of lowa, when allud ing to the corruption and robbery prevalent among Republican office holders, said, in a pithy, pointed man ner: "The people are so well used to these things that they do not mind thou." It would seem not in lowa, for, according to a Western journal, tho fonds of that State have been M handled, cut and clipped by several of the State Treasurers chosen by the Radical party. "Gold haa been ab > stracted from the Treasury and sold when at a high premium, and the ad vance pocketed by Republican ofli ciaJs, and the boxes which contained tho ooin filled with sand to kaep up tha appearance of the presence of the gold. School lands, swamp lands and the school fund have been oper ated with, even to the extent of forg ing names to certificates of swamp lands to raise the wherewith to cover the money abstracted from the Trea sury." Not one of the Kleptomaniac treasurers have been punished. On the contrary, they live iu luxury upon their gains, and more than one of then hat represented the Radical oarty in Suto or County Convention*. It used to he said that stealing *m not *o hud, when you were not caught At it But even when a Radical cial i* caught with the "swag" iu hi* pocket it doe* not injure hi* Mantling in the party. It rather aide him, a* he i* looked upon by the "King" a* a "gharp fellow, one of ua." The** are the thing* which have been made so common by tho Radical party, that, in the language of Mr. Wilson "the public do not roiud them." 1* there an honest repoblb can in Centre county, who cau give a gd and substantial reason why their party i* worthy of further support from them ? la it not true that it ia recking with corruptien, that plunder i* the order of the day, ami that a ring of coirupt men is aucking the treasury dry aud running up the espouses of the government? If tliia is true, aud tiue it i* a* Gospel, how can you longer be with aucb a crew, and claim to favor honesty and uprightness? You can't aerve God and mammoii. You cuut't cry hon esty and then vote the radical tick er. -♦ ♦ • Democrat* of Ccutre, organise! Your ticket ia in the field. The men upon it deserves your support. Not one of our nomiuee* ever flinched in voting. It i* due from you to ataud bv theiu now with the same steaittast ucss. Let ua increase our majority in thi* county. It cau be done if a a iborough orgauitaliou is effected, Mini the people are aroused. Ip, thou, gMl!ciit democrats, for a brilliant vie tor v. l*et IVnnavalley determine to go across the mountain with lilt) majority. ]K mocrats, honest republicans f Centre county, are you in favor of endorsing the Credit Mobil ier scan dal. the Salary Crab, the Evaue steal, the Doubling of HartrautVa Pay, the Doubllug of Graul's Pay, and the numberless swindles that have been practiced upon the people bv the meu now in power! If you wish to show your condemnation of these infamies, then vote the democratic ticket. A vote in the opposite directiuu is an endorsement of these acts, and no houcsl man will befouud doing that. Bruce Petriken has carried Hun tingdon and Mifflin for (kuator. Ju niata goes for Crawford and this coun ty for Meek. A pretty prospect for a tight tug and, ahem —! you know. It is a noted fact that the most cor rupt men in the Republican party are its foremost managers and leaders in their respective localities. There is Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who was once censure*! by a Republican Con gress and recognised as the leader of the corrupt ring of Pennsylvania, and yat he is (be leader of the Republican Darty in that Stats. There is Harlau, who puts up the pretence of Christian statesman, badly mixed up with cor rupt johs iu lowa, yet is now the rec ognized mouthpiece of the Republican Administration. Then we have Bing ham, of Ohio, who is besmeared from head to heels with the Credit Mobilier swindle and back-salary steal, aud yet honored with an important foreign mission. Xext comes Butler, the or ganizer of the backsalary grab and the doubliug of the pay of the Presi dent. not only occupying the position of Administration leader in Massa chusetts, but the Administration can didate for Governor of that State. Tom Murpby, whose deeds have from time to time been exposed, has the ear of the Administration, and is at the head of the ring which dbapes the policy of the parly in Xew York. So it is everywhere. Not a man loses the confidence of the Administration or his position in the Republican par ty by corruption. The greater the rascal the higher the position in that party. Would it uot be well to explain to the Soldiers' Convention, called to meet in Pittsburgh in September next, why the sister of exguerilla Mosby can get employment in a department at Washington without passing any examination, while the widows and orphans of soldiers arc rigidly exam ined and turned away if their replies are not satisfactory? THE PENNSYLVANIA CEN TKAL EXTENDING TO HAL IFAX. One of the most important rail road combinations of the period is to be consummated in a few days, result ing in a direct line, under a single manaeeueot, between Halifax, Bos ton, New York and all tbe principal American cities of the south and west. The Pennsylvania Central is the chief figurehead in the movement, and all the intervening roads between Boston and Halifax are to be swallowed up by that giant corporation. A large party of railroad officials interested in the combination left here this morning on a tour of inspection of the line, and their journey will uot end this side of Halifax or Prince Edward's Island. The party includ ed the directors of tbe Eastern rail road, some of the directors of the Penn sylvania Central railroad, and others. Along the route they will he joined by directors of the Maine Central rail road, and tbe wboie party ffill remain in Bangor to-night. To-morrow morning they will start for Bt. John, N. 8., over the Europe an and North American railway, the officers of which will accompany them, and from thence they will extend their trip the following day to Hali fax, via the European and North Americau tail way and tbe Nova Sco tia railway. Tbe object of tbe tour is partly one of observation, and to this will be added the censuinjpation of the proposed consolidation of the Eastern Maine Central and European aud North American roads by the signing of tbe contracts between them. The preseuce of the Pennsylvania Central people is significant, from the fact that they are large owners in the Europeau aud North American road, and that they aud the Eastern man agement are both largely ami direct ly interested in the New York and New England, formerly the Boston, Hartford, and Erie railroad. Through traius between Halifax, Boston, and New York will be run at an early day.—N. Y. Herald. City of Mexico, August 1, via Ha vaua, August 6.—Lozada, chief of the Tepic rebellion, was pursued and captured by Rosales, who formerly fought uuder him. He was tried by court martial on the 18th ult. and shot on the morning of the 19th. He refused to have his eyes bandaged, and kuaciiug with his face to the fir-1 ing party died with great courage.

As the unctuous Poiueroy ruled the politics of Kansas for years until it would sectu that all the leaders of the Republican party iu that Stale had become infected with corruption and li>st to hniue, so the vinegar visage llarlau was for a long time the chief fugelmati in the llepublicau ranks in lowa, where the party has become equally demoralized. Nearly every State Treasurer there since the Re publican party has bceu iu power ha* abused his trust, and new instances of official lualfeasauce are continually coming to light. lhe last of these delinquent Treasurers, Major Rankin, ia*u man who is as remarkable as Hat lan himself for his preleusious to piety, and he has turned out about the biggest rascal of the lot. The conse quence is that Christian statcsraeu of the Pomeroy aud Harlan school are not so popular as they were in lowa. CH KISTIAX STATESM EX There is a great tepuguauce ou the part of the President and his ituraedi ! ale surroundings to order a court mar tial in the case #1 General Howard, especially as he has just beeu elected President of the Young Men's Chris ! tian Association. Any other officer j of the same grade, or indeed, of any i grade; who declined to ask for a court of inquiry under the circumslatiees of i Howard § case would have long ago I been court martialed aud put iu cov 'entry.

The fact that he has ; applied to the Legislature of Oregon to coufirtu a name which he falsely {assumed, and bearing which he was j elected to the Senate, is of itself proof | that a fraud was committed, aud that he is not entitled to the seat.
