Oar State Ticket
The democratic stata convention,
which mat at Wilkeeberra. last weak,
aominated a ticket which every honest
man can vote for, and adopted a plat
form which every patriot can stand
P° n . t
The convention did its work nob
ly, and as an evidence, we ask every
oae to read the proceedings iurnished
in another column of the Reporter.
Aa to the character of our nominee*,
we challenge the radical* to pick a
flaw in them. Of our nominee for
State Taersurer, the Age says: Mr.!
Hotokiaeon m eminently fitted for the
office for which he was choeen. He
Is aa intelligent, upright, honest busi
aese man, and will guard the interest*
of both the State and the people with
care aad fidelity. He belongs to no
dishonest financial "Rings," nor will
•och combinations be permit ed to
approach or influence hb administra
tion of tbe traasury of the State. He
will be the State Treasurer ami man
age its affairs in such a maun -r as to
reflect honor and credit nlike ujwn
the Democratic party and the Com
monwealth. No more popular nom
ination could be msde than that uf
Frank M. Hutchinson. He is well
known in nil perU of tbe State, and
tha people will support him with seal
and readiness against the "Ring" can
didate for tbe same position, Mr.
Mackey.
The niggera of Baltimore like their
brethren of many other localities are
displeased with the radicals—they
hart Dot been getting any offices and
ars for catting loose from those pro
fessed friends.
OB the night of the 28th ult., a
large mass meeting was held by the
negroes of Bait. more to take iuto con
sideration the political condition of the
voters of the city and State, and a
doptsd measures to secure the legiti
mate frails of the right of suffrage.
Besolotioos ware adopted condemning
the leaders of the Republican party
ef the city for ignoring their best
friends, the colored people, end de
nouncing the party in the city and
State for having ignored colored vot
ers.
The bouest democratic prees all
orar this state is rejoicing that the
democracy of this county hare re
nominated Mr. Orris, whose noble ser
vice, in the house, last winter has en
deared him to every honest voter of
the slate.
The Pittsburg Post says : We are
also pleased to notice that Hon John
H. Orris who, it is generally eonceeded
by both friend and foe was the ablest
representative on the floor of the
House lest session, has again beeo
nominated
Tka Bloomaburg Columbian, Dieffeu
back's paper says: "Mr. Orvis was
acfcanwlsdgad to be the ablest man in
tbe House last winter and during that
-session laid tbe foundation for useful
■M in tbe future. We look forward
to him as one of the rising young
statesmen who are to retrieve the
State and ooes more give ber tbe
proud place aba occupied in tbe pelmy
days of Francis R. Shank —tbe lead
ing Slate in tbe Union and an exam
pis of public virtue and strict adhe
rence to the plain tenets of Democracy.
With a dozen such men as Orvis in the
Lsgmlature corruption would not
dare show its head there. He it was
who developed and exposed tbe fact
tbat the Radicals bad etoleu two or
throe millions from tbe Stale Treasury,
by jumping tbe debt —tbat is, all of
a sadden quoting the debt at a high
er figure than they had ever quoted it
before, without explaining bow this
Mflpcred. It will be bis duty next
"Printer to prove this business ind com
pel Hart ran A and company to ac
count for tha singular transaction.
Such nominations are encouraging.
*sj other counties go and do like-1
wise.
The election of Frank If. Hutchio

Not a single radical breath ha* re

Not a single radical convention ha*
made a salary grabber uf that party
take a back seat, or administer a •te
amed rebuke a* did the democratic
state co iveutiou to Mr. Spear, and the
dear ring of the resolution* upon tbe
same subject must meet the approba
tion of every true citisen.
Ihe democratic senatorial coufvr
ei.cv which nut at Huntingdon ou
'29 th, ha* not succeeded iu makiug a
nomination yet —there were l0 Uallota
last week wbeu the conference ad

Tbe Reporter predicted tight tugging,
but wo don't care for that if the re
sult ouly don't prove a heavy load to
oariy.
Bill Brown says he uomioaled the
radical county ticket without the as
sistance of Shortledge, Blaachard aud
the Tuteas, aud he eau carry it
throug' without their help. Well,
the follow that "carried Centre county
for Ciraut," ought be able to attcud

Judge Pearson, of Harrisburg. Says
the Age. in charging a grand jury,
lays this down as law: "Every hid
ing of a human being is presumed to
he murder, butthepersou accused is
supposed to be iunocent until proven
guilty. But whenever it is showu
that any one is killed, the evidence on
the part of the Commonwealth may
be repetled by that of the defence, and
mav be shown that instead of murder
it was merely justifiable homicide."
This is substantially the eror for
which the Supreme Court in New-
York latelv granted a new trial to
Stokes. The law docs not presume a
killing to be murder, but requires the
prosecution to establish by proof the
facts which show the crime that has
been committed. Indeed, there is a
manifest contradiction iu what 'Judge
Pearaou himself says, for if a killiug
l is presumed to be murder, the persou
accused is not supposed to be innocent,
no the contrary the very worst pre
sumption is made against him. We
think the law authorizes no presump
lion at all as to the grade of the of
fence. The presumption of innoceuoe,
which is on the side of the accused,
means only that it lies with the prose
cution to prove all the facts necessary
to establish bis guilt.
A BLACK MAN'S PARTY.
A Washington correspondent writes:
The National Republican gives an
account of the formation of a black
■uau's party, organised under the name
of the "Equal Rights League." The
organisation is secret, and all persons
receiving the support of the League
are obligated to vote for and sustain
any and all measuresproposed in the
interest of negroes. The organisation
is said to be a branch of one in Penn
sylvania, and to have been organised
here by a darky professor of Howard
University, Bamed Gruoer. The Na
tional Republican gives the names of
a number of those who are affiliated
with this order, embracing many office
holders undar both the city and Na
tional Administration and a good ma
ny influential Radicals. It is charged
that the new organisation intends to
contest the field this fall with the regu
lar Republican nominees, when they
may fail to obtain nominations for
their own set. The oew movement is
gotten up without the consent of the
ring authorities, and is a source of
deep erief to the faithful. The Pres
ident's organ denounces it with much
bitterness. But as this cit? govern
ment has been essentially a black
man's government lor some years, the
new league can not well make milters
worse, save by forcing negroes into
public schools of the whites and thus
breaking up the school system.
L. A. Mackey, esq., of Lock Haven,
wrote a letter to the convention at
Wilkesharre declining a nomination
on account of the similarity of his
name to that of the republican candi
date. He has no doubt that he would
Bst8 st a majority of the votes of the
tate.but tha Philadelphia ring would
count all his votes for the other
Mackey.

where the city delegation should de
cide their own contest*, that dccisit u
tj lie final.
Crucial Hounitort, of iiatrisburg,
s|K)kc earnestly against (he substitute,
aud contended for a fair, houorable,
impartial tribunal based on democrat
ic principles.
Mr. t'arrigau said that would only
wash the dirty lineu of the democrat
ic party of the city iu (be presence of
the party uf the slate. Philadelphia
had its soap aud its own tub, and
would cleame its own unclean gar
ments iu private. Philadelphia has
a different electiou system from the
rest of tbe state, aud the Philadelphia
politiciaus understand it. The state
does not. (l)eiisive laughter.!
(■eucral Koumfort said: 1 cordial
ly admit that in every election district
iu Philadelphia there are rules in
practice we do uot understand.
(Ureal laughter.!
Mr. t'arrigau said this tight is our
owu tight, and we should be allowed
j to settle it iu our own way.
A loug and rattling discussion on
this subject was finally decided by the

At this point A. Glatz, of York, in
terrupted the convention and moved
a nouconcurrence of the convention
in the report of the committee, so far
as read, giving as his reasou that
Speer had, as a member of congress,
taken back pay. The motiou and
reimnks of Mr. Glatz were received
with great applause by a majority of
the convention. Mr. Speer replied,
defending bis actious as a public man,
and pleading his services and fealty
to the democratic party, and asking
the convention not to give way to the
personal clamor of the hour.
He stated that he had uol sought
i the honor of presiding over the con
vention, but uow, that the committee
had presented his name, he hoped that
be would Dot be stabbed in the house
of bis friends.
Messrs. B. K. Mouagbau anJ W.
D. Moore supports*! the motion of Mr.
Glatt, ami denounced the salary grab
in severe terms.
Messrs. (J. W. Carrigan and J. Law
rence Gets spoke in behalf of Mr.
Speer. The latter gentleman upheld
the back pay bill and was hissed from
the floor. The sense of the convention
was almost unanimously against Mr.
Speer being the permanent chair
man.

Rreolrnt, That the wealth ol the coun

that we cordially recommend the conser
vative resolution* adopted at the recent
National Labor Congress at Cleveland,
favoring arbitration and cooperation.
A'rao/red, That although always a large
majority of the American (ieople, the ag
riculturists have never demanded ol the]
Government, State ir Federal, any special
privilege; have never infested the halls
ef Congress or the Legislature with lobby

" LEGISLATIVE RESPONSIBILITY.
*j M*. Edito A# every form of gov
r , eminent has certain fundamental princi
ples upon which it ia bated, and which
e idiffer from thoao upon which other gov
* eminent* are founded ; and a* the repre*
tentative is tne latest form of government
r I which ha* appeared, it ia rcaaonnblc to in
" fer that certain great truth* underlie it
I which either were unknown, or unappre
'* elated in former age*. Chief amvng these
"is that of holding official* accountable to
* j their constituent* for the manner in which
lliry fulfill the crust which ha* been rw*
'• posed |n than,—of bringing them fro-;
' quently beior* the people, and having
their course approved or condemned. This
' principle may be regarded as tho very cor
* ner-stone of our government; to remove it
would be to endanger the entire structure,
aud to aid in it* speedy demolition. What
' would be tbe advantage of electing curof
' final* if they ware not compelled to apppar
beiure us frequently, aud> in locking a re
cleptjon, togivq an account of their xtew
ardthip? The fear, which had hitherto
i restrained them, would then be removed,
uud full vent given to the paction for calf
aggrandizement, which more
1 rfcpaueu* because of it* long rastriotion.
* Thi* state of things has virtually been
i reached among l urHtale legislators. True,
i all responsibility ha* not bean removed;
) but the subclones of it has, and tbe tha
- dow aloift remain*. At first sight, this
I poflplmion may appear miiotjndcd and ba

all the power which they would 'ike te

ven the in.|res men of such wonderful in
genuity and foresight (fur themselves )?
This ia the way in which accountability
la made a stock la trade. Whom will you
call to account for tbe passage of Ibis in
famous act ? Vour own member you can
not ; for be is recorded a* voting against
the measure, end therefore was presum
ably opposed to it. Other members yeu
cannot; for tbey reside outside of your
district, are in no way accountable to you.
and are free from your censure, because
you cannot vole against them. The bill is
passed ; its apparent author is eut of your
reach ; the money for its passage is in your
member's pocket; now "what are you ro
>* Jo do about it T" The question is In
deed difficult; but it baa been naked be
fore, and we are giad to say has received e
thorough answer. New York city
answered by securing a new charter auch
as would restrain thieves end scalawags,
end then electing good men under it.
Pennsylvania can and will answer it by
adopting a new constitution which will
cut oIT the sphere of usefulness of tbe ring
iters and by electing honest and upright
men in their places.
But it may be asked, bow can the mem
ber from Centre secure the passage of the
bill so readily ? The answer ts simple: A*
kelunge f u the nisy. This body is ail pow
erlui and can pass whatever measure it de
sircs. A majority of the members beleng
to this ring, who agree to vote with each
other >n ell private bills which any one of
j their number may introduce, and tbua it
proves assures of peculation to each of
jUtem.
Ihia it but one of the many instances
that happen annually at Harriatiury; and,
let me say, that the case is not entirely or
merely suppositious. D would col be ne
crasary te ge beck many years in our le
gislative history to find one almost Idenli
cal with that described.
If responsibility, then, can be thu* tra
ded off. what doe* it amount to that we en
able to vote for our legislator* annually?
If they ran thus deceive and dupe us.
what doe* it profit ua to hold them to ec-
; count* The#* questions era, indeed, diffi
cult to answer; but they may be useful in
solving tome other* which have been
bruwehee. Wa have heard many high
sounding word* and empty phrases about
the members of the legislature being the
rfi reet representative* of tbe people, and
tbet the people will not allow the power*
;of these representative* to be curtailed '
But whet it the chief argument that has
been offered why the people will refuee 1
; such an abridgement.
Be- a use tha legislators are elected annu
ally aud so can be called to an account
more frequently than the judges who are:
elected for a longer period. Now what
doe* this objection amount to? We have
shown how easily tbi* responnbility i*
dll posed of bv our law-maker*,—that it is
merely nominal. By continuing in our
present courts, we shall be able to hold no
one responsible; lor this shirking system
which has been carried to tuch wonderftil
perfection, will be used from year to year,
and we can bold no reckoning with our
members. Hut thi* wilt not be tbe tame
j with our judge*. They are men of known
henrty and integrity, and will endeavor

THE GRE AT*WATER DIVIDE.
The Source* of Three of the Largeat
Kivers in America—Mountain*
Twelve Thousand Feet Above the
Level of tbe Sea —Grand and
Heautifu! Scenery.
Washington, August 17. It is staled in
the sixth annual report of the United
stales Geological Survey of the territories,
by K V. llayden. United State* Geolo
gist, that there is perhaps no mere un
ion wa or more interesting geographical
region in America than the different
branches .of the Snake river and tbe
Maditon—the great water divide of the
continent. The map* now in process of
construction will almost entirely change
the geography of thi* wonderfbll region.
Within a radius ef ten mile* may be
found the fource* of three of tha largest
river* in America. The general elevation
is from 7,000 to 8,000 feet above the see,
while tha mountains, whose eternal snows
! form the sources of theae great river*, rise
Ito a hsigbt of 10,000 to 12,000 feet. Flow
ing northward are the variout branches of
the Missouri, Yellowstone, and Wind riv
er*. which all eventually unite into one
mighty stream, the MUsouri. To the
south are the branches of Green river,
which unite* with Colorado, and empties
into tbe Gulf of California; while south
and we*t flew the branche* of Snake river,
which, uniting with the Columbia, pour
their vast volume of water into tbe Pa
cific.
Ttio riplunliuu u| (his remarkable wa
ter divi|)p prove* that the Madison Fork
lia* its source in a small lake not hitherto
noted on any map, and lhat;thc so-called
Madison lake belong* entirely on the Pa
rifle slope. Thi latter lake wa* found to
be about twelve mile* long and eight mile*
wide. From tki* body of water flaw* a
stream nearly 100 feet wide, which, after a
distance of about five miles, emplie* into a
sooond lake, which i* four mile* long and
one and half mile* wide. The former of
these lake* era* named Shoshone, and the
latter Lake Lewis, in honor of the great
pioneer explorer of the 3oithwe*t. At
the upper end of Lake Shoshone a new
Oeyser ba*in wa* discovered ;*ith from 76
to 100 springs, many tbom g C yor* of
power. The ornamentation
abopt these spring* wa* regarded as more
interesting and elaborate than those in
Five-Hole Basin. The divide between
the Yellowstone lake and Lake Lewis was
found to be abcut tfty fret above the form
er, and 'As) feet above the latter. This
low ridge in the great water divide of the
continent ha* doubtless given rise to the
story of Two Ocean river, and such a
stream ha* found its wi.y to most of our'
printed maps.
From the *umnij{ pf the mountain the
fpUpp flf sision embraced a radius of 115
utiles, within which four hundred and
seventy mountain peaks worthy of name
could be distinctly observed. The area
that could be swept by the eye from this
point could not have boon less fhgn fifty
thousand squgre uato,, embracing avery
varjoty of grand and beautiful scenery of
mountain and valley, probably without a
parallel on the continent. Ten large lake*
and scrcrsl smaller ones were embraced
in the view, and the entirfl \ellowstone
l'ark wiu t |,ted out under tho eye. Te 1
tho east the Wind river and Big Horn
ranges, with the snow-clad summit* •(
Froemont's Union and Cloud Peaks
bounded the view. On the north the Yel
low*tone range, with emigrant peak, and
Us the mountain* of Monta
na were clearly seen. To the west the nu
meruit* ranges compri-ed in what are callg
ed the Salmon river mountains of Idaho
form the horiaon of vision in that direc
