JAMES It. LUDLOW, of lM.ila.
for statk tre*#vrer:

JOHN H. OK VIS.
We think it is pretty certniu— and
wo have made careful observation —
that the good people of Centre coun
ty have decreed that Hon Jhu H.
Orvis shall bo returned to ihe legisla
ture by au almost uuauitn>us vote,
notwithstanding a candidate l>* 'wen
nominated, for form's sake, in npimat
tiou.
Mr. Or vis made for himself a record
which command* respect all over the
common wealth, on account of the ex*
inordinary ability he displayed, and
the good usee to which he gave bis tal
ents, in battling against every act of
pernicious legislation which showed
it* head at Harrisburg lat winter,
and which was driven from capitol
hill with a black eye from the damag
ing blows of John H.Orvi*. Such a
cleaning out ol corruption and olt
cles to the "ways that are dark''
as was presented by Mr Or*is, ha* not
been witnessed since the days of
Frank Shunk. The plunder bills
were at once dcticted by bis |* net ra
ting miud, aud he was prompt to ex
pose them, and in mot of instances
succeeded in driving theui from the
halls of legislation, no mat r from
what source they came,or ho# ingeni
ously framed. Our represents livt
made it his especial-business to look
out for snakes and many dead ones
were left on the field, and if John H.
Or vis goes back—which he will, il he
lives —not a single legislative s.rja-nt
will dare appear at Harrisburg. nud
the rooeters aud pinchers may as aril
go into mourning.
People of Centre, you have r- ad his
record, now let Mr. Orvis know that
you appreciate the eflbita of an up
right representative.
We believe, from what w.- hear,
that you intend doing this overwhelm
ingly at (be ballot box.
If ypu do not, then forever keep
your peace, when your representatives
vote away your money, desert your
interests, and join hand in-haud with
vultures and corruptiouisls.
When you have an honest, upi ight
representative, it isyoui duty t.> stand
by him.
Au honest, faithful, vigilaut, and
able representative ha* Mr. Orvis been
—you know it. No honest man
will deny it. Now what is your duty ?
He has done the right thing with
you, what will you do in return?
Let the 14th of uexl October tell.
Jtseph S. Warrant
The Lewistown "True Democrat,"
printed at the home of our nominee
for senator, says:
It give* u< great satisfaction to be able
to announce that .Mitfliu counts's flrt
choice, Capt. Jo*. 3. WAKKAU. ha. been
formally placed in the field a* the Demo
cratic candidate for State Senator in this
District. TLa conference, after an uncom
monly protracted struggle, finally ami
harmoniously settled upon Capt. Wareatn.
The close of the struggle was is this arise ;
After the conferees got tired voting each
for his own man only, a series of skirmish
ing or cross firing was commenced, dur
ing which all the candidates at one time
or another received sit vote.. Finally
Petrikin s conferees voted with Waream's
for Wareatn, giving him six, and Messrs.
Watt and Greenieaf of Juniata wheeled in
and made eight, thus giving W a ream a
maiority.
We need not tell the people of this coun
ty what they know, namely, that Joagen
8. WixtiM is at once a -turdey Demo
crat and an honest man. lie comes from
the workingmen. and is familiar with all
the rights as well as the interests of the
people of every class, lie has a mind not
only stored with information, but with sol
id sense likewise, lie is the sort of man
that has become scarce in legi-lative bod
ies these latter days; but just the sort that
is most needed there. It elected, (a. we
have no doubt he wilt be.) he will fill the
measures of his duties with honor to him
self and advantage to his constituents.
Firm, but neveroffeosive, in his |e>litics,
genial and sonable in his mariners, ever
ready to do "a ssod turn" for any one. he
has, in the last twenty years, won his way
into the hearts of the people, irrespective
of party, until at the present be is undoubt
edly the moet popular man in Mifflin
Count}/, llence, we confidently expect,
(as we have heretofore intimated,) that lit
tie MifHin will roll up for him no less than
400 majority, and we shall not beat all .ur
prised if the majority shall reach till
Undoubtedly the people of this < ounty are
in earnest in desiring a change in the kind
of rulers who have .at at H irrisbu rg, and
if tbey are so, none of them will go outside
of the county this fall to seek a tit man fr
Senator.
Capt. Waream, if elected, will go to the
Senate simply as a citizen. He belongs
tonoclique, faction, r ">111*," of any
sort. Consequently, his only aim and pur
pose will be to do right —to deal justly to
ward all—and, a far as in him lies, to pro
mote the general welfare of his constitu
ents. In Itis official capacity, as in his
private life, puklie enterprise a* well a*
private interest will be properiy en
couraged and fairly supported.
Shoot the Traitor* !
The following from the Bloomsburg
Columbian will suit well for Ceutre
county readers :
111 discussing the action of the
Wilkes-Barre convention in rejecting
a salary-grabber, the Erie Observer
remarks:
From this day forth let it be dis
tinctly understood that no man will be
allowed to minister at the Demociatic
altar without pure robes and clean
hands. If that be made tbe invaria
ble and inflexible rule our day of com
plete triumph will s|ieediiy dawn.
So say we. There would be no use
in denying the fact that ranch of the
bad legislation of the Republican par
ty is justified, or defended, or its offcn
siveness palliated, upon the groumt J
that Democrats also supported it, and j

past the Democracy have been mitrag

of-ome of it# representatives, ami
these form the chief source of it- weak-
J ness and want of success. So common
has this thing become that it is ordi
narily said by Republicans 'xcu.-ing
their own partitan* for imprrqa r ac
tion, "one jMtrty is as corrupt as the
other," or a* extravagant, or other
wrong doing, a# the cao way be.
Now let ibe Democracy he placed ou
its old vantage ground: that it is al
uavs faithful to its professions, that
it is economical in expenditure, and
that it oppose# all laws which circum
scribe the rights of or oppress the jh-u
--ple. To accomplish that end it inusl
purge out every representative who
gives a vote inconsistent with its pro
less ions. It has begun the good
wotk—let future conventions do as
! well as Wilkes-Barre lias done —let no
j tiiuid counsel hereafter ixcu-t the
j unfaithful or pass wrong doing in si-
I lenee.
Joint H Mitchell
The democracy of this County
could uot have nominated a more up
right geutleiuaw for County treasurer,
than John li. Mitchell. His charac
ter is as pure and spotless as tbedtiv
en snow, and every cent of the taxes
collected oil" the citizens of this coun
ty, will be safe in the hands of Mr.
Mitchell safe enough even without
bail—such is the honesty ami integri
ty of our nominee. The radicals will
make a ilcs|>erate push to defeat bin:,
but let every true democrat aud citi
zen see to it that he is elected. He
deserves a large vote, for, wheu we
have men of known integrity, they
deserve our support us a reward.
Mr. Mitchell has never been a j*s
tering office seeker ; he did uot obtain
hi* nomination by any iut.'igu.- or
bargain—he is not the mau to -toop
to low means to get an office. Demo
crat* give him a rousing majority, he
is a firm ami unflinching member of
our orguuiztiiou.
The democrat# of the tliiid district
of Philadelphia, are about kicking
Sam Josephs over board. That's
right, let the p-rt_v put out ii bad
aud corrupt men. Josepls lis* beu
a disgrace to sur parly us u member
of the legislature, nud every holiest
democrat will say "amen" to hi- being
thrown over board. Some more of
the venal legi.-latois can be spared
and the parly be the better for it.
"John H. '.irvin, Esq.,)the people de
mand it. will you explain ?"
"John 11. Orvis, KM), Explain! Ex
plain ! ! Explain! !! "
The above is the kind of stuff with
which Rill Rrown fills up his paper.
Every body in Centre county lias read
Mr. John 11. Oivia' record in the
columns of the REPORTER, and
the 2nd Tuesday of next October will
give the babbling idiot of the Rcpub
iiean such an "explanation" it# will
make him wonder who struck Levi
Miller. *
Brown's paper. like uu idiot,
cull* on John 11. ()rvis t<< ex
plain. The fool— why didn't lie go to
the democratic mteling in the comt
house. If there is any thing wrong
in Orvi*' record, why it would now
be in Brown's place lu take it up aid
explain it. Neither Blown, or any
other bigger or littler fool ran find
fault with Mr. Orvia' reecrd.
Farmers should l.e happy now! The
Radical* who lately nominated the
ring candidate for Treasurer, declare
their sympathy "with every movement
to secure for agriculture and labor their
due influence, interests and rights, and
the Republican party will he their ally
in every just cflort to attain their ends.'
In view of the fact that tlx- grange
movement in the West hud its origin
in the most Radical States in !he r Uni
on—lowa. Wisconsin, Illinois, and
others of that ilk—and hud its liaeotil
of the oppression of Radical legislation
in favor of monopolies and .iguiust the
interests of "farmers and laborers," it
will be readily understood that this is
merely a "tub thrown to the whale,"
and means nothing. So far as (he
grange movement —which is essential
| ly Democratic—lias gone, it lias been
a fight against the acts of mom|Milies
fostered by Radical legislation ; and
if the movement spread through this
Staters it likely will, the same work
will be in lo re—a gfiht against
the monopolies by liadicui
legislation.— Clinton Dtmoeruf.

How Mat'key Is Paving Hit* Male
Debt
With one Record, in simtil aneous
concert, the Republican ccwspapeis
of the State are s lumliug jmeiis ol
praise to Robert \\ . Mackcy, becm-c
theio ha- lu'en a reduction ut
one mi llii u dollars m the Siate debt
According to the statement, which
is l-ing so widely paraded, Ihe total
I amount of debt reile-ineii during Au
gust was $074,74 • D 4. ami the balance
iin the treasury at the end of that
! month (after the paymeut had bun
in tided was $1,947,31)3,37. Ihat ilie
whole, or the principal part of ttiia
balance, IK- longs by right to the sink
ing fund, there is good teamui to be
lieve, and that the principal part of
it ought at once to In? applied in
payment of the Stste debt we have
no doubt. Why should Mr, Maekev
le praiserl for applying one fifth of the
. money on hand in payment of the
State tit lit w hen his own repoit show
that he is holding a balance of two
million dollars, to be used bv himsc f
and other members tit the treasury
ring for sjHt-ulaiivo put pars? Why
UCt 'apply tli. two millions to the
oavment of the debt, ami reduce the
balance to half a million, which would
be more than sutticienl, for a rt-sitve
fund.
The truth is, that what i calletl
lire unex|>elidtd balance in the State
Treasury admitted by Mr. Mackcy
to be two million at present, i- the
prize tiver which each succeeding
contest for the ofliee of State Treasury
has been curried oil. The present
system, with its attendant iuirpiitiea,
I dates I roiu the year IHSB, when the
, sinking fund was established. During
the whole j-riod from 1858, until
the prtsent time, there lias only been
one Democratic State Treastner,
Win. V. McGrath, ami he only held
the office one year. The unrX|>ended
balance has purposely Im-u made and
kept large. During the administration
of William H. Kemble it amounted
- up to $4.t>ti1,8.%.4t>, ami his bootv
t during 18li7 is believed to have ex
ceedetl half a million dollars. In oth
er word# he pocketed as tuuch money
in one year as Mackejr ha* consented
* to withdraw from his utiexpendol bal
- a nee, in order that he might claim
credit for paying a portion of the
t State debt.
The auuunl elections fur Stall-
Treasurer have la-en di-graceful
1 squabbles. They have given rise to
, much scandal, but half the story has
never been told. When the {'eunsyl
vania Railroad desired to put oncof
its solicitors in the Uuited Slate-Senate,
J. Don Cameron, who was then
managing the affairs of the family,
put forward It. W. Mackcy for State
l'reaauier, aud elected him bv making
n'poof, into which the >tate T'rca-urer
and the Sena tors hip were cast.
Under Mackey arose the Evan* ami
Verke* scnmluls, ami #u much wire
the |M*>pie of Pennsylvania disgusted
tli.it they decided by more than a
hundred thousand majority to lake
the election of a State Treasurer
ihip into theirowu hands. Under lhee
: circumstances it was lo be expected
that the Republican party would put
forward some new man of high charao
t r some onu who would reiluce the
balance in the treasury and diminish
the State debt more rapidiv than
Mr. Mackey can le expected to do i
If the masses oftlie Republican party
had Imhit consultei), eiich would have
deeu flic result of the Repuhiican
State Convention, but that laxly was
eompletelv under the influence of old
party hacks, aud the popular will was
completely diregared. There i only
one course which honest men can now
pursu •. They must repudiate Mack
ey at the |ml Is Not to do so will be
to approve all the corruption which
lias been practiced for years. Are the
iteople of Pennsylvania prepared tor
that? It is for them loeay at the |m>lls
