The democracy of Philadelphia
have nominated a full ticket- an I a
good one too. 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

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

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

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

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

exceedingly wet that there was scarce

of which uur people aie suffering

ted to have starved to death, and ma
ny others are liviug on bread alone.
"Very early this season our far

tracted wet weather and high water
' were prevented from getting our best

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.

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. A report WHS current !
at Wichita a few days ago that mi
army of of ludiuus KJJOIf strong hud

town and killing and sculping eigh

of cattle belonging to u Texan stock

the town was brought by two surviv

INTKKKMINCi BALLOON VOYAGE.
Journalist* Hailing Through the Thin
Cloud*—Riding Over Thunder
Storm*—Front Buffalo to Salem,
New Jersey.
An extended balloon voyage was made
on the night of July 4th, from Buffalo,
New Y'ork, by Mr Samuel A. King, Un
well-known aeronaut, accompanied by
two Buffalo editors, Messrs James Albro,
of the Commercial Advertiser, and \\ alter|
T. Chester, of the Courier, and Mr Luther |
L- Itolden, of tho Boston Daily Journal
The aerial voyagers left Euffiilo nt lour
minutes past six o'clock, Saturday even-,
ing. and after journeying over the lower
end of Lake Erie, and tho westerly pari
*•f New Y'ork state, crossed the slato Of
Pennsylvania in a diagonal line from the,
easterly part of McKean county to Y'ork
county. They reached the Maryland line
about five o'clock Sunday morning, and
tbc warming influence ol the Sun's rays
tent tlie balloon to a gfcalcr altitude than
that at which It had been traveling through j
the night This gave them a newr dirrc--
tion, and passing more eastwardly they!
crossed Harford and Cecil counties, Mary-i
land; Now Castle county, Delaware; the
Delaware river, and Salem county New '
Jer.py, in the lower part of -which [tn|]
(Julnton township, seven miles southeast j 1
*f SBII-III] they landed at five minutes pastil
■even A, M. The voyage, which thus 1'
lasted thirteen hours, was remarkable in I,
many respects. The balloon was drawn .1
.ownrds tho vortex of the great storms 1
sliicli swept over Pennsylvania. NewJer- ]
icy ami Maryland, Saturday afternoon 1
itid evening, but those terrible atmopber- 1
c disturbance* were so far in advance of '
he balloon that it followed in their track |
vithout injury. Although the lightning* 1
ilayed almost incessantly in deep black '
loud* xvtiii ti lined the horiaon in the east t
nit southeast during fully otio-half the';
light, presenting a spectacle of awful sub- 'j
imity, no storm of any kind was expert
need by the balloon traveller*. During j;
lie latter half of the night the moon shone li
nrih in great brightness, rendering it po ll
ible to read the fine divisions upon the u
urometer and thermometers almost n> u
,ell as in the day-time, sothatan interest- '
ig srrie* of meteorological observation* "
rere taken by Mr. Hidden, with but little „
iterruption. Shortly lifter midnight the o
Jleghany Mountains were crossed in "j
enlre county, and numerous other mouii-! p
(in ranges were also crossed. The ride'll
ver the Alleghanies disclosed scenes of * 1
idescribable grandeur. The party did!";

11IE Ft H.ST (dENTI LE CON VEHT.
At (iruce Church I Protest* 111 Episco
pal , Brooklyn Mights, the ttov. William
-i Stiiveiy, the rector, argued that the
deeds ot t'ornelius, the ceeturion, were a
standing reproof to all who urge the oft
hoard plea "Li kof opportunity,' in ex
planation of their inattention to religious'
matters The text was "There was a
certain man in t'aearea, called Cornelius,)
a Centurion of the hand called the Italian
'•and a devout man and one that foarcd
Isod with all his house, which gave much
atllls to tho people, and prayed to (iod al
way."—Act* x , 1, 2.
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 ;
