Josephs is left out at last. Good tor that alone. The freedruen's Rank, of Washing ton, containing the savings of many industrious colored persons, ha* sus pended. So the colored bankets hate learned the suspension busint-* too. The Grant party i uneasy about the next congress. Their leading men and organs express fears that it will be democratic, or at least, ami Grant. The radicals are beyond doubt far down the road of demorali zation. If the democracy act judi ciously iu their nominations, taking the best and strongest men, it will be possible to give the next House a different political cast. Credit mobii ierism, salary gratis. District of lo lutnbia jobs, and Southern carpet bag rule, should be enough to sink any party to the lowest depths of infamy. It's too thin. A letter purporting to be written at Centre Hall, is pub lished iu the William-port Daily Register of loth. In it the wliter hits the Reporter a dab because of it* advocacy of Mackey for Congress. The writer starts out by saving that ••he had seen in the Weekly Register, ito., —uow we made inquity t ur post-office, aud fiud that the V eek ly Register docs not come to Centre Hall at all, which is good euough proof that that Ceutre Hall letter was written at Beilefonte, just like other* of the same sort. There i* a little clique just now engaged iu writing bogus communications in which the editor of this paper is as-ailed be cause we dare to speak our sentiments, and oppose cliques and rings. It these pimps could only break down the Reporter, how clear their way would be—aud that's what's the matter. Well, these letter writers didn help build up the Reporter, aud the can't silence it uor break it down. Fomplimenturiw. Some great American statesman once said, that the Presidency was neither to be saught after uor to be refused. We might sav the same with regard to c< mpiimeiitaries. A complimentary, to be a compliment, must come unsolicited and as a free tribute of worth and esteem. W hen it is run after, hunted down like a hare by the bound, or bought, then it is not a complimentary in any sense of the word. Now there are politicians, with whom the hunt after senatorial anil such like compliments has got to be a mania. If you show us a man who indulges in this practice, we will show you one who is possessed of no merit, one who is a lying, scheming, forging and whisky-bribing politician, who gets all he does get, be it complimen taries or something else, by the means just enumerated. The ohject of the professional beg gar of complimeutaries is to make 1 merchandise of the same, by selling out for money to the highest bidder or trading off for the future. 1 ni.~ is (he whole sura and tubslar.ee of the entire complimentary business, so far as carried on by the ring politician, and any one informed upon the sub ject knows that we are placing it in its true light. Tbe politician makes money out of comnlimentaries, hence tbe people should discard tbe professional com plimentary seeker. The Reporter has never encouraged them, because we heard and saw too much of the selling and trading that is done there by—it is a virtual selling out of the people behind their lacks by those who approach them with honied words and smiles begging to let them have the senatorial —or whatever it may be—complimentary. These complimenferrfer# are the chaps that produce the dead-locks in conferences, of which we had so many examples already. We need only refer back as late as last fall, when our own senatorial district was dis- graced in the eyes of the entire state, by the dead lock in conference, when that body met at Huntingdon, then at Tyrone, again at Huntingdon, then again at Tyrone, and so on for weeks, balloting nearly 500 times to make a nomination for senator. Now it was the complimentarv-seeking ritigster that brought that about. Shall it be repeated? The democracy declared then that they would not again per mit themselves to be thus disgraced— will they make that good this year ? These dead-loci a are brought about on purpose by the professional compli mentary seeker, so that be may force another party to buy bim out. This business is one of the opera tions of the corrupt ring, and we are opposed to it —that is, to this abuse of it. We opposed it last year when it resulted iu disgrace. We will oppose it this year, and if not successful we will fight it again next year, an J so on if it takes as Long AS 'twould take a snail, To promenade the comet's tail. That poetry is original and we won't even file a caveat. Here is one chance the people have to interfere with ring arrangements, bargain and sale in politics. The new constitu tion has broken up the big state ring, and the little couuty rings must be broken up too if we would thoroughly purify thepolitica) atmosphere, iul the classic language of George Fran cis Train we any ; Down with Kings, Smash the Kings. Every honest democrat and republican must help in this matter —as all parlies are troubled with ringsters and loosters. 'TIIK CONGRESSIONAL NOMI NATION. I From the ( Union llcmocrul. | It has been noticed with great sat isfaction in Clinton that one of its cit izens. L. A. Mackey, K*q. has Uen rceomnxnded very highly >u tVntre, Elk and other counties of the district as the one who should be the nominee of the 20th District. Clinton would frel honored in getting the nominee, and heartily approves the selection, standing ready to ratify it at the polls with a handsome majority. Of the gentleman himself we can not more accurately *jwak than to use the language of the Ridgwav Democrat: "Mr. Mackey is a tine speaker, lie is au earnest supoorter of IVeruocratic principle*, and his record .-how* that he has bean uuiformly o, regardle— of the side issues and irregularitic* ot the past few year* that have been foisted U|HUI the party. \\ ith a thorough knowledge of the character islics Of the people and the businc** .utere*t* of the disttict —with a com prehensive mind. liberal spirit and principles in full accord with the Democratic party, which he led with marked popularity in the congression al campaign of ISAB in the largely Radical district cotupoaed of I cut re, Clinton, Lycoming, rotter and 1 ioga counties, in which he carried his own couutjr by an unprecedented I v laige majority —L. A Mackey. Esq.. ot Clinton county, conibioas all the ele ments of a useful aud highly credita ble representative of the lVmncracy of the Twentieth congressional dts triet. ami we most heartily recti iiineud his nomination." "Mr. Uickt)' catna to Clinton county in 1841, two years atVr it.* organization, a poor bov, ami com paratively unknown. 1W pcwever ance and honorable deportment, he toon secured for hiroseit a reputation at the bar as a practising attorney. His liberality and kinduces called to his support many warm persona! friends. Farmers, business men, and the laboring poor, alike claimed him ,-u their frieud, and universal seuti meut accorded to him honesty of pur pose au*l a disposition to assist in making Ciintou countv what it is to day. His charity anj kindness have been felt and realized by many whose poTerty claimed his attention and enlisted his sympathy. l>uriog the hard times through woich cur people have passed, business men oau certify to his assisUuce and date the hour of their reliefto his liberality and tor bearance. There is not, perhaps, a Christian church in this community but what has beeu the recipient of hi* benevolcnce, and repeatedly received his support. Mechanics, merchants, and laboring men have been accom modated and sustained in busineas by the generosity of a roan who for nine teeu years has successfully controlled the financial department of C Union county. The soldiers who enlisted from this county during the war. ran tru'hfully bear witness to his kiukness and liberality. Their families, dur ing their absence in the field, frequent ly felt his aid and received support and comfort from his generous hands. No public enterprise in this county has ever received Mr. Mackev s re fusal. Our schools, churches, rail roads, lumbering interests, county im provements, boom, and, in short, all that makes up the prosperity of the county, have realized his assistance and found him a true friend." Such was the language used by (he chairman of the Democratic County Committee to the voters of the Dis trict in the campaign of 1868. It is as true now a* it was then, only it has been strengthened by the lapse of years. Upon the living issues of the day Mr. Mackcy will be found in close sympathy with the people. Upon the financial question he is with the pen pie now, as he was in 1868 when he took position in favor of paying the five-twenty bonds in greenbacks, and not in gold. As stated by the Klk Democrat, "although forced into the national banking system by the tax ation of the genera! government, he has never publicly approved of the system, and believes that as the gv-| emment has assumed the prerogative of furnishing the circulation of the country, the people should have what ever profit is to be made by the issu ing of currency, and that the princi ple of equality in the rights of our citizens should be applicable to bank- j ing, as well as other business." He believes in the established doc trine of the Democratic party, that the true financial policy of the coun try is to maintain our currency up. n a specie basis—that all financial leg islation should tend to that end—and that resumption should take place as soon as practicable consistent with the requirements of the industries of the country, having due regard to the interests of the debtor class, who com pose three fourths of the people He believes that resumption of specie payments can be reached with an ex clusively greenback currency in one half the time it can be with an in creased National Bank currency. It has been long since Clinton county had a congressional represen tative from within her limits. She has been attached for many years to one of the blackest districts in the State, yet her sterling Democrais have never faltered, but steadily sent out their solid majority to do the brst it could aud her part towards breaking down Radical rule, and no one has rendered more valuable assistance in this work than L. A. Marker. In (he campaign of 1868 (as candidate for Congress) he polled the largest itiaj>> r ity the county has ever given. Give Clinton a chance now to relieve the dark connection of the past with the prospect of one of her citizens becom ing the representative, and she will rally to his support with renewed vigor, will give the ticket h hearty and successful support, and furnish a representative for the high position in every way qualified to represent the people with credit and usefulness. It is a bitter thing that a British journal on the Fourth ot July can say with truth of the Declaration of Inde pendence made ninety-eight veurs ago: "In many of the Southern States speakers to-day may take up the in dictment framed against King George 111. in the Declaration of Indepen dence, and with perfect truth assert that the conduct of Federal Govern ment towards the conquered South has been worse than that imputed to | the British King." Immense cloudi of grasshoppers are reported as having alighted pu the 15 near Columbus, Neb , and are doing some damage. They are rapidly! moving eastward. j It has puzzled a good in my people ; i to understand how it i- that the pro- ii duclion of cotton since the *ur hush been so large as it has if the negro .1 labor system bas been so much tie i moralized as is generally repiesontetl. ( The answer to tin- t< very easily giv- ( en. IWoie the war neatly all the j cotton was made by negro labor, but since its close ihou-uud* ami 111 em sands of white men have gone into the cottou fields and labored with such energy and intelligence as to |>todtiee wonderful rtsult. I b< Memphis | Appeal expresses the bc.it' that tin givatei part tf the eollou shippetl t<> that important outlet tor llse staph is now raisttl bv white Inlmr, and it further >im that while the cuilute tl cotton ha- been unretuunnative in a large portion of the negro State*, i( , has been highly pr litable an i lias greatly expanded in the white Stales The Mobile Register asserts (hat African labor ha* excluded while ..t bor from the great cotton regi.u ot Alabama, aud thereby destroyed the production of cotton upon soiue of the richest lands of the South. Hie re ceipts of cotton at important points o| shipment show that as a rule the pro duction has decreased in those region* where the planter* depend up.ni the negroe* almost exclusively for labor ; but this falling of! is more than conn let balanced by the increase which is j the product ot white labor. In Ich uessce, Arkansas, Missouri, northern Texas, and the Indian Territory n great I v increased acreage has tn-eu devoted to the production of cotton, which is maiulv cultivated with white labor. The August* Chronicle and Sentinel savs that in northern Geor gia, along the line ot the Air Liu. Railroad, where e Hon is produced by white labor, the yield is steadily increasing. During 1 >7o tlu-receipt* at Atlanta were 29,240 bale*. This year tlx v were ."G.** 4 .' hales, or near ly double ilio.c .1 the preceding year In the upper counties .1 Kouth and . North C'aiolina white labor is : ne-l bv necessity iuto the production ot Cotton, and the small farmers, who are in reality the most prosjwrous clas* iu the South, working m the fields themselves ami producing tin ir own supplies, make liit cultuie mofii able. Some tune ago we puolmhed the experience o: a planter in I. 'Uisi ana who made an experiment to a* certain the relative value of black and white labor in the sugar culture, keeping a strict account ot . xpeiidi turc.- 4ml returns. Ihe result was a dead IOM ..II tlw labor of negroes em ployed on wages ; a very uiail profit ou tbat of negroes working on share* ; and a large profit on the labor of white men, every one of whom accom plisbed more than twice as much work, judging from results, a* any of the negroes.

FEAUS OF FAMINE IN KEN TICKY. A correspondent writes to the I,ou | isviile Courier-Journal from James- I town on July 7 as follow*: "Hero iu Southern Keutuekv we | are ou the eve of a famine, which j threatens to lw very .crious, a* well as in the western portion of Ken -1 lucky. Last year the scasou was so exceedingly wet that there was scarce ly a half crop raised, in consequence of which uur people aie suffering much, anil already several are rej>or ted to have starved to death, and ma ny others are liviug on bread alone. "Very early this season our far mers made vigorous effort.* to pitch heavy cro|>s, but owing to the pro tracted wet weather and high water ' were prevented from getting our best IHUIIS in due time, the rains continu ing up to the 4th of May, since which time we have had no ruiu to wet the laud. We have not even been able to raise any vegetables in <>ui gardens The oat crop was a complete failure, as was also the hav crop, ami a large amount of the corn is dead, and tin remainder is fa-t drying up. \\ it!i all the rain thut could fall it would not be possible to make an average of a barrel to the acre. As it is, we will not make five bnrrels of corn to the field. "For gome time our people talked a | good deal about loy>£ their stock, | but now they have lost ail hopes of that, and the only talk is: How shall we get bread and meat? Th • wheat was moderately good, but will all be consumed in a short time, and we will lie left without anything to sustain life. The Cumberland river is not navigable, nor will it be for six months, and the nearest point to the railroad is forty miles. Our people arc without money, their horses and oxen so poor that but few of them could travel to do any hauling, even if we were able to buy, hence we fee! that we are without hope. There must at least be twenty or twenty-five counties in Southern and Western Kentucky just in the condition we are, and unless relief can be obtained from outside, sojne hundreds ot our people will starve to death.'' A despatch from Ijonigville says it is proposed to call on the legislature for aid. PRO HA HILITYi >F A (IKN ERA I INDIAN WAR. [Rock>- Mountains Denver) lletfi. JulyH The Indian ur now raging in vn riou parts of the plains is mourning quite alarming proportions, and our red friends seem to be everywhere on the war-puth. Reports from nearly all points of thu compass bring no counU of fighting mid raiding of mure or less seriaus character. On the east of us askirmish was chronicled last week thirty miles this side of Fori Dodge, in which a party of hunters, running five wagons, was attacked without provocation by a large bund of Indians, who made UII attempt to cut off the wagon, which was separat ed from the rest. The hunting par ty aucceeded in heating them off, how ever, with H loss of two killed und four wounded.

It is not without it* significance and pro-' nriely, -aid he that the history of Corfu--' liti* it appointed as the lesson from lite New Tr-uuient tir the second Sunday after Trinity. For the first half of the Christian year, nx from Advent to 1 unity, is specially devoted to the pre. senuto.ii of Christian doctrine; while the second half, trom Tundy to advent, is at -pacifically devoted to Christian duty M-'*t fittingly, therefore, ibis brief histo ry oflhe first comsuesl of Christianity mi tlie tjentile world is placed at the very trout ot our cuiuUunplalion of duly ; for as we study the lessen which It brings and comprehend the standard of duty which it erei U, we shall find in U at once the in spiraUon and the standard of the duty which devolves upon ourselves. Al first sight, this record seems to be only the si tuple account of the conversion of a ituiuan so'dier to Christianity, but at we study I'. 11, ore carefully, lights and shades .it the delineation of i.is character reveal themselves The result and climax of the story present us with an implicit faith, expressing iltelf in a prompt and earnest obedience, which becomes al once the standard lor outwelves and which project* its reckoning through all our studies of dutv m the year. * * * In comparison vsitli that military f-ot at Caesarea and the religious opportunities it offered, your very v"uniing house is a Christian temple an-1 your business placea closet of prayer; tend '.! llial man, in the cold and chilling l,r*'.helium of a Human arsenal, Could preach MI devout a religious life, what shall be txid of the man w ho, in this l'.ffh century 0! the Gospel, and breathing the very atmosphere of Christianity in every market-place and shop, shall yet tuuidly cringe ha'ore the forces ol evil and ooli sent to bra slave of sin Passing now to a more careful study of ihechara ter of Cornelius, we are met al once by two aspect* of it which are equal ly instruct: v* The first of these pre-etit* os with the pcsil.ve element* of his relig ious character, and the second with it* dc feels. Ibe positive delineation at hi* character i* bnel but Cotnprebwnsire It is B-serted that he was "a devtul man; one that feared God with all hi* house; which gave much alms to the people and prayed to G"d always" 1 raJistalsng these tcrms'into the language of ordinary l.fe to day, they drlineate a character of conscientiousness, prayerful and charita ble piety The ruflttg motive of his 'ife was tho "fear of lioii. and in this, al though u heathen, he ha.) learned the be ginning of w . loin And this fear of (i.d w as not merely a theoretical, nor a merely personal thing . for it sent its influence through hi* family and bore 11* precious fruil in a consecrated domestic ife And this is at ante the testimony of its genuine ness and the token of IU power, for the real gauge of our religious lite u not so much wfiat w< are at church, as what we are at home. It is easy to he a Saint amid the association* of the sanctuary, hut to he an earnest Christian amid the duties, and cares and annoyances of the week tune, 1* a more difficult task Cornelia, the moth er of the Gracchi, couid point to her sons a* her ti osl precious jewels; and this Cen turion. who bore the same name, could send the influence of his godly fear through hit entire household, and mold them 111 a like beautiful life jt is not strange that a character, based upon such principle* and exerting such an influenie In the narr- w circle of his home, should also bear the fruits of a practical charity in deads of liberality and almsgiving. That his char- 1 1 tics were not stinted, is sufficiently indi cated by the expression that be gave much alms to tfi# poor In addition to thi*, it is said that he "prayed to God always." Here, then, we have the positive religi ous character of CornoUus |rtri) "Conscientious, (loJ-f-aririg religion in his family, liberal in hi* charitable gift*, and constant and regular in hi* prayer*."' And as this brief but comprehensive rata logtie pns*e before u.-. some of us who are quite ( hr stian in our faith and duty, must teel that we scarcely measure up to the standant which is here fixed. Al all events, if we can compare ourselves favor ably with this (and that there are many who can, BO one will doubt), itt us pats, next, to mark thu defect* of hi* character; as delineated in the narrative; and now. recognixing all that i beautiful and lovely in the character of many a to-called mor al man, aro we not compelled, alto, to recognixe the fact that with all these there may exist serious detects which can only be remedied by an implicit ohadience to the positive command* af Christ and a personal participation in th* ordinance* of His Church? In every Christian com munity there 1- a class of men who *tand at the very threshold of tho kingdom of ()od, and whose characters almost emu late the beauty and completeness of the biography which this versa records. Con scientious and God-fearing men, moral and unriglil in conduct, high-toned and honorable in all business transactions, liberal in their gift* and even regular anil constant in their attendance upon the more public service* of the Church, who yet stop at this point and go no further; who never express the faith that is in them by implicit obedience to the positive com mands of Christ, and who never, in tlie ordinances of the church, assume that pro-1 fessed and public position qf loyally to Him which Hi* word so Imperatively do - tnands. For our mora I ilia* we ran easily] find :> reason; for the outward proprieties j of the Christian life we aro at no las* for sll argument; hut there are also certain I'llier duties which rest upon no reason of uiirnwn. but simply upon the authority d the command of Christ, and our ohedi*- < snce is not complete until it has included l these. There must he 11 public and per lotml confession of Christ before men; .here must he a faithful participation in lie ordinance-of His Church, and of the jrace which through them is conveyed to fie soul ; there must be sueli an identiflca ion with Hi* Church 11s will separate us r rom the world and make us His peculiar >eopD. Until these requirements ate met, he iiuiniory of the noglocted vows ot our >apti*ui must rise to condemn us. and the noralities of our lives, however beautiful,! Ie little less than delusive. An<l yet the Gospel of Christ hut no tarsh word* of rebuke for our shoricom i)|C< and ourdefocti To ibis earnest •<!- lier— more than half a Christian—a vision sent to teach him the perfect way. And o, ii< the iuvisibla Christ looks u|ion these lews tn-dav. he recognicet all that is good nd beautiful in us, but marking also our Icfecta—may be our one great and com* rehensive defect—He snys to us, with in .lite tenderness, "yet one thing thou nekest." And therefore, beloved, as we nke ui> the varied and manifold lesson of ur duty a> the Church has arrunged it, ntil the Advent Season comes again, let * see to it that these defects are remedied, .ot us work in the full measure of light •h'ch God has given us ; let us make our 'hristian life a complete and perfect one; nd using well the opportunities and the rdinances which he has placed within nr reach—our very obodionco shall be IC channel of new grace to our souls; our üblic and personal identification with lis Church, u constant source ef strength ; nd the pathway of our daily duty will be L once M discipline for niul a prophecy id ie divine lite to come.
