The Lieutenant Governorship, an honorable position, nnd one to which an able man should be chosen, well-nigh gets to be looked opus with hatred by every sensible citiienofour state, because so many fools have already proposed au equal number of popinjays for Lieutenant Governor Ninty-niue out of the hundred radicals and democrats already propose.! for the place, would hardly make a tan back woods debating club. Among those who have been running this thing in the ground aud who have been making fools of themselves, are some of the uewspaper editors who should have show n more reuse than to make light of the matter, by seriously pro posing Tom, Dick and Harry for Lieu tenant Governor. We trust that none of the unfit uauies, mentioned for the place, in the democratic rauks, will ever In? brought forward in our slate convention. None but an able, sound, sterling democrat should be nominated—for the place is a responsible one, aud requires talent and ability —uot nincompoops and men of straw. Not a Bit Ready The Louisville Courier-Journal says that "the democratic party at this moment is half ready to lake Graut as its uoroiuee." Not a hit of it, is the time-honored democratic party "half-ready" to take Grant; not one-eighth-ready, no, nary a hit is it ready to take Grant at all. The democratic party has no such foolish dream even —it was opposed to his first election on account of his noto rious unfitness for the place; it was opposed to his second election be cau>e his first term proved he was an incompetent, and the democracy, uni tedly staud opposed to Graut for a third term because he is a salary grabber, an incompetent, and nepotist an j right hand maa of financial gam biers, jockeys aud sportsmen. If the Courier-Journal thinks that the demo crats are "half ready" to take Graut because he has just now stepped upon a sot t of democratic hard-money plat form, it is egregiously mistaken, and we are at a loss to see [where it finds its indications of it. Grant has disgusted the eutire respectable portion of his own party, aud has set the radicals to quarreling among themselves. His stubborn nature, connected with his iguorance of state affairs, is the cause of this. He has originated nothing —he has driven the Suraners, Schurzes, Fen tons, Curtins, et al., from bis party, and proven an unmanageable boor, and as such the democratic party has no use for him, and he wili receive no invitation to step iuto our parlors— yes, he must eveu keep out of our back yards. Grant may fight it out with his party —the democrats are under uo obligations to him, thank Heaven. We have great and good men in our rauks, statesmen fit to govern any country and grapple with any question, and these will be the chosen leaders and nomiuees of our party, and not the noted smoker by a long shot. Fur the Reporter. Hi nt. A. Wallace MR. EDITOR. —AS soon a* it WAS known that Centra, Clearlield and Clinton coun ties formed our present senatorial district, we heard but one opinion expressed as to the person who should represent us in the senate, and that was : We will have the Hon. \V. A. Wallace, of Clearfield, as our senator under the new Constitulii n. His superior talents, statesmanship, devotion to the best interests of his native state, are acknowledged bv the honest men of all parties, who would regret hi,u in the stale senate which h~- has honered so Jung by his experience aid e!oouen<-e. But a neighbor ef mine was in BelWonte last week and conversed with some of the pciiticiani, who told him that Mr. Wal lace would not accept the deniecratic nomination for senator of the new district. Is there any authority for this rumor er is it only an interested trick of political as pirants who are circulating this report to deceive the people? You will confer a favor on your democratic readers br let ting them know the truth in tim t ana thus enable them to prepare and act advisably in the premises. A DSMOCXAT. Keplt.—"W'e can inform our correspond ent, and all who wish to know the truth, that the Hon. W. A. Wallace is no office seeker—he never did nor does he now ask for office. It was the people of his county and senatorial district, unsolicited by him. tendered him the nomination and elected him to the senate several times, and would now re-olect him again if they had a chance and keep him there as long as Massachusetts did Webster, Kentucky Clay, and Missouri lienton. They know he reflected honor uu their senatorial district, credit on the state, and became the idol of the people by bis honesty and brilliant administrative powers. The report that he would not accept the nom ination of the democratic party of Centre, C.earflcld, and Clinton, >s a canard to catch gudgeons, and is simply untrue, and we do assure our democratic friends that Mr. Wallace will accept the nomination of senator if freely tendered to him, that be has always acted upon the principle and acknowledged the right of the people to call upon any of their fellow citizens to serve them in a representative capacity— and that it is the duty of every citizen to comply with their request when it can be done without injury to them personally. That Wm. A Wallace will receive the nomination of Clearfield and Clinten is patent, and wo are satisfied that the demo cracy of Centre will make his nomination unanimous and his election triumphant. THE EARL OF YARBOROUGH AGAIN MISSING. London, June 5. The Karl of Yar borough, who is said to be frequently drunk as a lord, is agaiu missing, and the police are now making earnest search to find him. Ou Tuesday last the Earl was in the House of Lords, and a Deputy Sergeaot-at-Arms, tl inking him in a worse condition than usual, accompanied him into the ante-room. A short time afterwardr the Deputy returned to the room, but the Ear! was not there. Since then no one who knows him has seen him. THE BREACH BETWEEN GRANr AND His TARTY. The correspondent of the World say* that the breach between Grout ami the rndieal party ha* been na rurally widened by the financial posi tion assumed by tlic former. The ef ' feet of hie manifesto is that a thunder bolt has fallen from a not very cloud less skv. The white house lias hurled forth its fiery shaft, and senator June has proved a sort of financial light ning conductor. The conference com in it tee sitting on the currency bil , ; with the single \cepti*n %>f that ; thoroughly honest and able democrat. 1 leister t lyiuer, has been slum, red, while republican inflationist* are ly ing prostrate and republican aiili-iu tlationists stand aghast and stu|>efied that their god should have thuitdcied at all, and especially that he should have chosen Senator Jones for his lightning rod. The President has evi dently chosen anew path, in which the Mortons, logan, Kelieys, etc, are not likely to tread. Ihe lYtiu svlvania politicians are especially de moralized I they had supposed that in the present congress rennsvlvaiu.i would only have to sneeze and all would bo awe stricken. But they i have been snubbed most dreadfully in the centennial scheme, and in the in , tlation swindle. Their career was cut short in trying to re impose the 10 j er eeub rebate tariff law ef 1872. And ' even now they hear a reciprocity ■ treaty with Canada i iku e-!. ,'rtbs . finished. Kellev and t ameroii prophesy all sorts of dreadful things. Probably the only true prophesy they 1 make is'that the party, as they undei f stand it, which weans inflation, high t taritl' ami subsides, is irrevocably broken up, aud the reign of the Cani , erou elan and the Kellev sans oul * loltes has vanished from the land. r • - . NEW PARTY MOVEMENTS We gave a pretty full account iu , our issue ofyeatenlay, says the l'itta | burg l\*t of 12th, of the two great Reform Conventions held iu Indiana and Illinois on the previous day, in which they adopted platforms tttul State tickets. So far as the reforms ' called for iu the two platforms ate I concerned, they have for years Iweu . proposed and advocated by the Dem ocratic party. • The Democratic patty has never j 1 been devoletl to the interest of any ■ particular class nor two cr three i classes, but advocated the iutcr>ti of all classes of men. It does not and never did believe iu arranging cla?-e? against each other. It is one thing to oppose the aggression of a particular • class, and auother thing to attack the i legitimate rights and interests of any particular class. To do one and not to do the other has always been the 1 object of the Democratic party, and the general national and local proa-' L perity when it was in power show that it was reasonably successful in its mis sion. All the interests of a community. | " although they may widely varv, are t common alter all, and to depress otic i is to injure all others, or to set one up j over the others and give it u unfair 1 advantage, is also to injure them. 'jThe I>etuocracy have been protesting *' for years that tbo monopolies created by the Radicals, exalting oue interest , and depressing others would finally result in just such a state of case as ' the Reformers aud Independents of • Indiana and Illinois complain of iu I their platforms. Had the advice of ; the Democratic t arty and pre.-s been taker, years ago, and this pernicious } system of monopoly vold down, it would have been much better fur the' " country. , But it is not too late to do it even t now. The people have only to make } up their minds to go back to the old system of home rule, State and muni ' cipal rights and the total abolition of " the monopolies which have grown up ; during the last fourteen years. We think that upon reflection our friends g iu Indiana and Illinois will come to j the conclusion that the surest way for j ' them to bring about the reforms thai • they propose and dctnaud, is to join r with the Democracy. The latter par r tv bu a compact organization, aud is devoted to the achievment of the very V reforms that the lodependenls insist; I I upoD. The Democracy does not pro '■ j pose to abandon its organization, that I is very clear, and the only hope that' i the friends of King monopoly have is to see their opponents divided up into different organizations. | There is no necessity for the crea . tion of any new parties at this time The Democratic platform embraces | every reform that is called for bv the people, and consequently, all that is necessary for them to accomplish their 1 desires in the way of political refor , ma tion is to step up to the support ol Democratic principles. The work is an easy one to perform. Did the world ever sec an Admin istration so insensible to honor and decency as this of Grant ? General Thsruas B. Van Buret) is collared and kicked out of Vienna. He asks and he receives an advanced position else where. Minister John Jay, who col lared him, grvmbles when he is only told (in substance): We are unable lo believe you told the truth nbotit Van Buret). Secretary Richardson is made a judge because he cannot de cide against the Treasury robbers. So it has been from the beginning. Tom Murphy was driven from the Custom house by the exposures of his misrnnr.- agemeul. Grant take* hi* resiguatior and keep* him for an intimate. Col fax ia proved a liar and a perjurer Grant writes him a letter of uodimin ished esteem. And so on and so on World. The World speaking of the recent financial manifesto of Grant snvg ; The practical truth is, that while the publication of such a paper by such a President may be accepted m pretty clear evidence that the drift of (he popular will is taking this direc tion, nothing can be more certain than the utter uselessncbs of expecting n permanent applicatiou, of sound fi nancial principles to our public nffairt from any other source than the elevu tiou to power once more of sound Democratic statesmen holding by in telligent conviction the truths which come to men like President Grant on ly in meteoric showers. • ♦ ♦ A Jury in Bucyrus, Ohio, has found Mrs. Trimble guilty of disturbing tin peace of the saloon keeper Shaw, hy singing near his place, "Jesus lover of my soul," aud she was fined fifteen dollars ; costs, about seventy more.

THE DjSAGTiEEMENT BE TWEKN GKANJ AND.SHER MAN. The gossip in Washington is thai; the first ugliness originated in Slier-, man refusing Fred. Grant on his staff This was resented by the President refusing to make Sherman seeretnry of war during the absence of Belknap jn Texas, Since then Sherman has 1 been ignored by the President. The last feather that broke the patient camel's back were orders sent to Ar | knnsoii by the President, directed, instead of, as usual, through the gen- ' e a), to the Captain in command. The fact camo to Sherman's know!- . •dge while on the Howard court of in- ' quiry, and Sherman broke out public ! , ly and said he supposed the next move | would be the President conimunica ting directly with the privates. Tin t next thing heard was the request to „ move his load quarters to St. Louis. There was something pathetic in the position of the German tlorist, who, in the bitterness of his hvart, ex claimed : "I have so much drouhle mit do ladies ven dey come to buy mine rose ; dey vants him hardy ; dey vants him doubles; dey vants him nice golour ; dey vants him aberyding in one rose. 1 hopes I am not vat you call on uncallant man, but I have aomediincs to say to dat ladies,| 'Madame, I never often ec ladies dut was beautiful, dat vns rich dat vas good temper, dat vas youngs, dat vas clever, dat vas perfection, in one la dies. I see her much not.' " It is now conceded that the House will not pass the Civil Rights Rill, for the reason that the President would veto it.

That woman lis* not competed with men ia the active work of life was probably be jcause, not having the power, she had not ] the tlriirc to do so, and because, having the capacity of functions which man lis not, she ha* found her pleasure in per forming them.

Oemmodu*, jil we can believe ihe historians of those limes, was unsurpassed in such exercises. Having the figurs and vigor of un athlete, iha gave to himself the surname of Hercu les iitid.wu* desiriousto juslify tno appolla- Tiun by imitating the feats of demi-god— that is, by exterminating a certain number of ben-ts of prey, which surely were not so dangerous us uu- he. Pnihus, another of the emperors, ens ceived the idea of giving the people the privilege of taking all active part in the -ports of the amphitheatre. He caused the arena to he transformed into a forest, into which he loosed, the first time, one thousand deer, as many wild-hogs, M>:d as many ostriches. Then the gates were ' opened, and n many amaturo* entared u ehose, who killed and carried off what and as much as they pleased. Another day, instead of comparatively inoffensive game, Prbu* presented the people with one hun dred lions, one hundred leopards, one hundred panthers, and three hundred bears. Hut this time the festivities had s tragie terminatii n. A goodly number of tho hunters were attacked and torn to pieces, while several of the animals escap ed from the xtailium, and caused a fearful panic - among the spectators, which cost the lives of several. Finally all the animal* were killed ; "hut tho frte was," says pin historian, "grand rather ihan agreeable." The consumption of animals at Rome, in providing for the amusement of the good people, from the end of tho republic to the fall of the empire, surpassed the concep lion of the liveliest imagination. Let us iry, nevertheless, to g-t hi; approximative idea. In the 507 th year of Koine— lSC, years n. Marc us Fulvius for tiietirst time intro iuecd lions and panthers into the arena— ha number is not stated. Eighteen years titer, the aedileg supplied for u popular fetr ■ixty three leopards and panthers, forty jcars, and sevoral elephants.

Limited liability cotnpauies, which f hitherto could only be organized in I'lutuyivania wlieu specially charter-j j ed an-J incorporated by the iaegisla-: lure, may be formed under this excel lent .aw w tnout asking jiermission oi anybody. It is simply necessary that the person* contemplating the forma tion of such an association should sign and acknowledge before tone tnagis truU- a statement, setting forth their name* in full, tho total amount oi capital, the amount subscribed by each, the character and location uj the business, the name of the aaoocia tioii, iu contemplated duration, and the name* of the officers, who are to he cliosiii iu a certain *|>ecificd< uinnmr. litis statement, and any amendment* subsequently made o it, are to le fileil of retxird in the office 1 of the Recorder of Deeds. The Governor ha* signed ihe Union county hunter's bill and it is therefore now a law and will allow the hunting' ,f de-er with dog* hereafter as is doue iu ('.*ntre oud Clinton counties.

In the act making Decoration day a le gal holiday, a proviso states that it shall in no wise interfere with the usual pro ceedings in reference to maturing paper at hank. Ihe Philadelphia Ledger says this lakes from the enactment the charac ter of ale holiday. Making this day n legal holiday, was at best but a piece of legal folly,' Tho Legislature has ho right to make holidays of any kind. In a free country every man has a right to keep holiday whenever ho pleases, and the at tempt to compel people to keep holidays is un arbitrary exercise of power unwar- | ranted by the constitution or by common ' sense. 1 FURNITURE.
