It is saiil that Englaud has recog

commended for Congress. But the

it can't be the clever fellow "at the

From the differeut section* ot the
ceuntv we learn that the democratic
countv ticket meets with general fa
vor. Measrs. Sugert, Wolf, Spangler,
Reifsnyder and Yearick will get the
party vote which insures the election
of the ticket by the usual majorities.
The tempercnce parly of this state
held their state colfVer.tion at Harris
burg last week, and adopted a plat
form favoring the prohibition of the
liqucr traffic. The following nomina
tions were made: Lieutenant-Gover
nor, Benjamin Rush Bradford of Bea
ver countv ; Judge of the Supreme
Court, Simeou B.Chase of Susquehan
na county ; Auditor-General, ( aivin
Parsons of Lurerne county ; Secretary
of Internal Affairs, M . P. Cuthertaon
of Montgomery county. A State
Central Committee was appointed,
with James Black, Esq. of Lancaster,
Chairman.
Mr. John F Potter, i* one of those,
among others, who failed in obtaining
a nomination by the recent county
convention. Mr. Potter has atrved
one term as district attorney, and we
believe that he endeavored to discharge
his duties faithfully ; scrutiny of his
official acts will satisfy any one that
he discharged his duties according to
the letter of law; he will leavo the
office with a clear record, aud had be
been successful iu obtaining a re-uoui
inalion, there is no one whom the Re
porter would have given a heartier
support. May success attend him iu
bis future practice.
Previous to the war, election riots
were only known in the Northern
States, at least not farther south than
Baltimore, where the blood-tubs and
plug-uglies committed bloody outra
ges in order to carry the elections. But
upon the close of the war the northern
carpet-bagger took with him south
his dirty-linen aud hie vicious habits
of violence at the polls and has ia
same degree instilled theru into the
negro race down there, so the yankee
carpet bagger may by that nieaus force
himself into office, and uow negro
election riots are getting to be a com
mon thing, arid whites are murdered
and driven from the polls. These
outrages were all along winked at
from the white-house at Washington,
even whore whole towns and neighbor
hoods were threatened by the blacks
urged on by white scalawags.
In the history of ail parties, the
canvass for nominations, within each
party by members of the same who
are ambitious to obtain a place upon
the ticket, is about as exciting and
very often as bitter as is the contest
between two opposite political parties
for a victory at the jmlls after the
nominations are made.
Tne contest within the party prevf
ous to the nominating convention, its
bitterness, jealousy and acrimonies,
should end as soon as the nominations
are made, and all turn iu for the sue-'
cess of the ticket. We address these
word 3 to Centre county democrats,
now that the nominations are made
and the ticket, which is a good one, is
in the field. Let the unsuccessful
candidates (and there were worthy
ones) and their friends, now forget the
campaign for the nomination, and go
into the work of defeating the opposi
tion ticket with the same will a*
though their favorites were upon the
ticket. This is the duty of every good
democrat, and acting upon it will se
cure us a splendid victory in old C eu
tre.
"Wash the war-paint from your fit C-!*!
Wash the blood-stains from your finj?erii,
Briogyour war-clubs and your weapons,"
and equip yourselves) anew for the
coat est against the common foe.
Spain is about to put into execution
the decree for the abolition of slavery
in For to Rico.
Tire tactics of the Centre county
rails will be to centre tin ii opposition ;
against one of our nomirrevs f>>i the i
Legislature, with the < xpcctation o
defeating that one and electing a ra-l
ical. In order to do this, all kinds
of slanderous stories will be invent* l j
and burled in broadsides at the demo
eratie nominee whom they wi.l n
deavor to defeat. Our ticket is coin
posed of good men and it <h serve* to
be sustained from lop to bottom \\ e
trust, therefore, that uo democrat will ,
be misled, when the enemy single.*
out their man to defeat him. Stand
by the whole ticket democrats and let
the opposition howl.
Kada are busying theiu>cl\e> with
blowing into the ui* id candidate*
who failed in obtaining the demon a*
tic nominations, "uul'airucss, unlair
ness." Thoe rads. we think, are
showing u sympathy J'er such gentle
men upon whom they would have
showered abuse had they been the
successful candidates. Ihe nomina
tions were fairly made in open con
vention, and those busy rads who are
talking of "unfairness ate i.nlv en
deavoring to create dissatisfaction, in
order to help tluir own iliauot*.
Democrats can see through that.

The democratic state convention
meets at Pittsburg August 2d. to
uotniuate three officers to iv> elected
upv u the majority rule, vis . a l.ieu*
teuant*Goveruor," Secretary of the
Interior, and and
also a Judge of the Supreme Couit,
who will be sure of his envti. n, a* he

While the Radical pa|*r> ot this
district, says the Clinton Deiuociat,
are atuckiug Mr. Mackev because lit
is the I'resideut of a National Bank,
they should bear in mitnl that that
uiouopoly of which they blate wa*
created by the Radical party, lie
did uot create it. He has made an
able and useful officer of au institution
w hich they created, ami if it ;s an evil
thev are responsible for it, while he is
entitled to the credit of having, by his
abla management, lessened the evil a*
much as possible. And at the same
litue they should remember that
though President of one of their mon
opolies forced ou the country, he i iu
favor of the following resolution pa**
ed by the convention of hi* county
that nominated him :
Kctoited, That it is the sense of this
convention that Congress should so
amend the present Naiioaal Banking
system as to require the banks orgau
iied under the same to substitute
greenbacks iu place of the national
b*nk currency now issued by them
and thereby save to the people the
payment of about §24,tXK),(X>O of gold
luterest annually.
The Supreme Court of Illinois has
recently confiriueJ a verdict of e20.-
000 damage* given by a jury to a w id
ow, made so by ardent spirits sold to
her late husband. The facts ot the
case it is unnecessary to recapitulate.
The defendant supplied the man with
that which rendered him incapable of
self care. He went to bad upon a
railway track, and was naturally
found dead the next morning. Put
ting the statute out of the question, thi.-
scem* to be a clear case of personal
injury under the common law. The
Illinois statute, however, quiets ail
doubt upon the point. Judge Scott,
in reviewing the case, said : "He who
deliberately selis that which he knows
will inflame the passions, deprive the
parly of the control of his juJgtnent.
and render him for the time being in
capable of exercising proper tare for
personal safety, or that of his proper
ty, must he prepared for the conse
quences that may follow.
The Harrisburg Patriot suggests a
point to which we have frequently
called the attention of voters, and
to which again we most earnestly di
reel the atteution of all who are in
favor of reform and opposed to our
present Ring rule. It is a fact, o that
should be generally understood thut
the duplicate list of voters are now in
the hands of the assessors, and subject
to inspection free of charge, by any
person residing iu au election district
who shall desire to see the same. It
is the duty of every citizen to see that
his name is properly registered. Af
ter the 3d day of September it will be
too late. The law now requires as
sessment* to be sixty-one days before
the day of election. On the two sec
ular days before the day for the re
turn of the assessment list* the asses
sor is required to be at the voting
place in his district from teu a. in. to
three p. n. and from six p. m. to nine
p. nr. for the purpose of making cor
rections or adding new names, but it
is not best to wait until the last day.
We trust that every Democratic vo
ter will see to this matter at once.
Every day's delay is dangerous. The
Ring is careful to see that every one
of its soldiers is on the roll. Why
should the frieude of honesty and re
form be less vigilant?
PAYING OFF OI R STATE DEIIT.—
The State debt of Pennsylvania, un
der the system of gradual redemption,
is being steadily reduced. The Sink
ing Fund Commissioners, who nre tin-
Auditor General, State Treasurer and
Secretary of State, report that on
August Ist the total debt was 124,-
099,785.37, and that at that time
there was iu the Sinking Fund 8520,-
947, available for further reduction.
The chief items of the debt are €400,-
000, bearing six per cent, interest in
gold; 818,833,950, bearing six per
cent, iu currency ; 83,393,500. bear
ing five per cent, in gold ; 8907,200,
bearing five per cent, iu currency ;
887,000, bearing four-and-a-half per
cent, iu gold; 8141,133 of various
loans, on which interest has ceased ;
8100,659 without interest; 883,032,
of Cbambersburg certificates, at six
per cent; aud the Agricultural Col
lege land scrip fund of $500,000.
During July, $21,000 of debt was
redeemed, and at the close of that
month nearly 8453,000 of the Gener
al Revenue Fund of the Slate was
deposited on cull by the Stale with
various banks and bankers, without
collateral or interest. In the reduc
tion ot the debt the Constitution re
quires that there shall be paid off an
nually a sum not less than $250,000.
Between Jauuary 1 and July 31, the
reduction has been SBOO,OOO. and by
the close of the vear it will reach, it is
said, $1,200,000.

EFFECT OF TH K GRASS IIOP
PER VISITATION IN IOWA.
Adjutant General Baker, of lowa,
writes to Commissioner Burdett, of
the General Land Office, representing
that there is great suffering among the
homestead settlers in the northwestern
counties of the State, owing to the
visitation of the grasshoppers, and
setting forth the hardship of requit
ing the settler* to go sometimes fifty
and sometimes 200 miles to make fi
nal proof of the occupancy of their
; farms at the local land offices. He
suggests that hereafter the local land
officers be required to visit the county
j scats on certain days to take deposi
tions, iu order to sure settlers an ex
pense they can ill afford. Commis
sioner Burdett is disposed to grant
the relief asked for, and is inclined to
. rule in this particular case that set
tiers he allowed, if they prefer, to
make their depositions before the
| clerk of a court of record at the coun

BEECHEIhTILTON.
New York, August 1(1. —Brooklyn
was easy again yesterday, no new fact
of auy importonce oeiug developed in
connection with the Beecher-Tilton
i scandal. There seems to Ire a feeling I
of uneasiness, however, in the commu
nity, arising from a fear that the end
has not yet been reached. All the in-j
dicalions tend to show an intention on
the part of the men who have been
charged with blackmail by Mr. Bcccli-i
er in his statement not to remain quiet
under the imputation cast upon them.
Mr. Moultori a friends express great
indignation, aud are loud in their de
clarations that within a few days at
most thecharges made by Mr. Beechct
will he proved utterly without founda
tion. The denial, it is said, w ill h<
explicit, and will be accompanied bv
the publication of tlie statement ori
ginally prepared !or submission to the
committee, and which was suppressed j
by the advice of Gen. B. F. Butler. j
At least one of Mr. Beecher's lawyers!
professes to lie acquainted with lh
contents of that statement. Several
members of the committe have also
intimated that they know the worst
that Mr. Moultou has to tell, und
knowing it, believe that Mr. Beecher
is innocent of the charges against him.

tli - tour cf Kai -at during the lal ten
da;. . lie came ovi r fr. :n N • Ursska abut
the CrM of the month, and camping for n
few da\ ■> in the extreme northwestern
c 'iintii, put himself in light marching
trim, and Marled acri ■ the State in a
cloud about twenty mile* wide. im>\ir>g
eal und south. He rnj'turcJ the State
capital on Saturday, having travelled
tiloul one hundred and fifty miles in < ;ghl
days, eating as he flew, and raising the
price of corn to a point it lias not touched
bi lore in seven years. From here he went
on e.i't, veering a little to the north ton
account ol prevailing southern w r.ds .
oid unless detained by bad weather or
ipadc lazy by overeating, will probably
' reach and cross the State line some time
during the present week
The amount of damage done to K> •is
by tl.i visitation of these jerky bird- is
almo.-t incalculable. The standing rroj s
of at 1< tot ten counties have been eaten up,
mid in a dozen other counties there is a
loss of one-fourth to one-hall. To one who
has never seen the murch of *ui ha plague,
it is difficult to cenvey an idrqusto idem f
its foree and appearance. It has never
been more truthfully and graphically de
scribed than in tl e language of the Bible
touching the plaug" of the locusts in olden
time: "For they covered the whole face
of the earth so that the land was darkened,
and they did eat every herb of the land
land ail the fruit of the trees which the
hail had left, and there remained not any
green thing in the trees or the herbs of
the field through all the land. 1 ' In some
places west and south of hare tin* sun *'
obscured for hours, as if a cloud was pa-s
--ing. and vast swarms of the pestilent cn u
lures flew from either side of the locotn >-
live along the railroad track like snow
! before a snow-plough. They would dis
pose of a quarter section of corn iri an hour
and a half, taking for desert whatever
melons or pumpkins came in their way,
i leaving of them not even a vestige of a
lind. After they pa-sed a cornfield noth
ing was left but stub- of stalk two or
three feet from the ground They tool
all kinds of grain, fruit, and vegetable-,
and even stripped the apple, peach, cher
ry, and o-uge trees of all leaves and buds
The only green thing they declined to
touch, that 1 can hoar of, was a patch of
< as tor beans.
The damage will reach millions of dol
lar- in this State, and a large amount of
personal privation, perhaps suffbring, is
certain to ensue. There was a fair crop o!
small grain harvested and garnered before!
the plague came, but it will fall far short I
of meeting the necessities of the people.
Most of the settlers in the new counties
where the curse fell heaviest, were depend
ing entirely upon their corn, and will now
In- forced to look to charity for sustenance
during the winter- The State and county
authorities ure already investigating the
• vtent of the calamity, and prcmpt action
will be taken to provide such relief a*
may he required. Kansus is able to meet
ami surmount the difficulty, and it is to
her credit that she has determined to suc
cor her own citizens without soliciting or
accepting outside assistance.
Tha species of grasshopper with which
we have to deal in this latitude is a native
of the mountains. It is descend'd, 01-,
course, us all these insects are, from the
ancient locust; but differs in taste und
habit from the ordinary grasshopper of
the field and prairie. It is a bird of un
bounded stomach, in the highest degree
gregarious, and of a peculiarly roaming

i 1 alluded above Mayor Wells manipulated
t the proceedings in so oponiy c rrupl a
• manner that the opposition papers exposed
I the fraud, and much damaging scandal to
i flic church party bos been the result
The passage of the bill by Congress, to
I regulate judicial affairs in t'tsh, provides
I for the making up of a jury list, and vests
i the mimslral officers of the Federal Courts
with power to act. For nearly three years
. no jury cases have been tried in this terri
tory, i v< rpt by the Probate C< irl, pre
. sided over by Mormon bishops, who 1 are
usurped jurisdiction over criminal and
, equity cases. This lull has given heart
and hope to the opposition party in Zion,
and they have gone into the canvass with
the determination to procure s faircxptes
sion of their will at the polls. Brrghatn
came down upon In- followers With a coup
d itat. Not daring to trutto a repetition
r of his cut-nnd-dricd proceedings in tho
. caucus, lie prepared a ticket of his own,
which he sent to tho church priests for
publication, calling it tho "people's tick
et.' This contains tho name of tho po
lygamous jostle Cannon for delegate to
the Forty-first Congress, a host of a|>ost!c*
and high church dignitaries for the Legis
lature, uiul for county officers a list of men
whose solo recommendation is their slavish
devotion to their prophet-master' sintorcst.
An opposition ticket was jdaced in the
field by "the Liberal party," so-called,
containing tho name of K. N. llaskin, a
prominent Gentile lawyer of Salt Lake,
lor delegate, with a heterogeneous com
pound of Liberal Mormons, apostates, and
i few Gentile for the Legislature und
county office. The canvass has been ac
tive and acrimonious.
Tho Church papers have rodiculed the
Liberal ticket as "ring-streaked, speckled,
and piebald," and their ojijionotils de
nounce Brighton* candidate* a-a "three
knave," a "duck lantern," and u "Ku-j

Yesterday the election took |dace
Cnited States Marshal Maxwell appointed;
a score of sjiecml deputies to preserve!
peace at the polls, and the Chairman of;
the Territorial Central Committee selected'
'an equal number of citizens to challenge;
I illegal voters. This the Church prints ez
claimed against as a monstrous usurpation
of their right-., and the Mormons were in
structed to allow no "pestilent outsiders"
to interfere with tlicin at the jiolls. There
are six polling places in Salt Lake, the
City Hall being the jvrinciplo one. The
great strength of the Mormon vote is de
rived from polygamous wives. Four-fifth
of these are unnaturalized aliens, tnany ol
them are minors, anil u large share of
then, aro unable to spe >k the English lan
guage. The challengers objected to these
votes being received. Tho city police,
armed with iron billies, ordered tliu Mar
shal's dejiuties away, and being resisted,
began attack upon them with their biilic*.
Four deputies were cut on the head ; one,
named Wliittinorc, it is believed fatally.
Three policemen were arrested ami taken

who released them on bail. They return

TUMISTING FOR RELIGION.
The Hi *. Win tlriuiston preached in
t eCollrgiate lStttcli Reformed Church at
1 rlv e gl.t-st and FifUi-ivr , using for
his text the lfith verse of the second chsji
t.-r •! -h reii :*'■ "For my people have
i >ln in:tted two evils They have forsaken
me the fountain "f i > " K waters, and i • w -
e 1 them out cisterns, broken cistern*,
thai that h- Id no water Among <•!' cr
things b- said .
the pat'ngt i have r>a.i to you wa ut
ter. J a- an evjKistulalion to the Jews,
when they j" rsislvd in idolatry and wick
e-:ne> It tells them they have commit
it 1 two evils, having changed their gods,
and finally (barges home with the appal
ing allegation ' Yo have forsaken M<-'
Now this charge was not luade to the
Jews alone but may be applied to the
whole world, and to u a- well as any.
first we nto told that G.d cr<-:tlt.l
man in hi- own image; made him high,
pure, noble,, cven almost h good a* the
niig. is ;he was created with eajtahililies of
h i-ling communion with Hun who was
tits Fatiier, but unmindful of these bl, ->-
ings be fell, and con*c*juent upon hi* fall
was the degradation of the whole world.
But we mail perceive that in these
modern days we live in a light more pure
than did the ancient Jws. My heart
goes out in pitr for the soul that ha*
-trayed from its Creator. Conscious of it
real loss, haunted by its ghost, followed
by its glory, it longs w .:h an impotent de
sire to regain r peace by setting up other
gods. Each effort in this direction ha
ever proved a failtirn, among the wie as
well as the f <ojlsh. Every struggle We
make only sink- us deeper and deeper in
to d -tres-. Every faie religion has ex
pired With a greater cry f despair. The
iuslory of our world t only a record of at
tempts to get along without God It re
minds me <>f that fabled man of old wl o
tugged and labored to roll a great heavy
-tone to the brow of a hill, and just a he
had almost succeeded, it went thundering
and crashing back into the valley from
which he had expended his energies and
worn his powers to raise it. Is not ibis in
stance like that of a poor solitary human
-ou! striving to hew out n religion of its
own and jvj-t nt the |>oint of success losing
its hold ntid allowing it to fall back into
'oblivion from which that soul bad striven
to lift ti. J -b Christ himself, knowing
matt a well as 11" did, marveled at tli
unbelief around Him. The text i* not
meant to apply solely to the actual wor
shippers of idoll, but to all the ungodly.
Very many men seek their sole satisfaction
in the worut of tenses- -in the josession of
everything they desire in this world.
And these men < vpect the jvortals of Heav
en to open to them ns though they had
been the most devout conceivable worship
per* "f God and not self. There ure oth
er* whee young life in a rich promise of
bright futurity, whose golden grandeur
n<l genius only load them l<lru*h through
life with a glorious tla-h, a feverish bril
liancy. which aflct ail it like the flash of a
rocket, which, when it* upward trail i*
spent, falls to the ground a charred slick.
Win n one <d G.-.l s creatures gives hi*
whole life, hi* whole thought to the prob
! iein ol how to jjet through the world with
i the least, exertion, a-man who does no
. good, who doe* nothing, this i* only a re-
I fined sensuality. He may be given t> !
-triclly intellectual juirsuits, and may
| learn to believe that a man may lift him-
I *elf front any depth, support himself on
' any bight by his own effort. He may ev
-on enter into tho most sacred place* to.
i build up hi* oi'terns, hut he i ju-t a* much
I condemned. 1 may build my idol in i.
church, it is an idol still. The case i ev
en more aggravated when a pervertod con
-cieiiee is brought to light. Let our |i< r, 1
[misled, aboriginal brothers, come and top
you how they have 'ought peace and have
not found it II >w tliev have sought it in
the fire ami in tho tla.'d; how they hav
searched for it tn the knife reeking with
blood a nil in the torture stake, ami -till i:
doe* not come I know of nothing, my.
dear Christian lienrera, that will liurt m<
much a* a cold, freezing formality of con
science before God You may a* well jmt
your fiwrt in a Chinese shoe a* your soul
in a po-ition to which it i- not used. O.
God ' Can folly go v> far a* to believe that
a gilded sham can bring peace to a being
destined by G "1 t • wear the robe* ofeter-'
mil glory, to -it t>y his side [an Hi* Ilcav-j
enlv throne.
Thus we find that the religious ol sensu
ality, of intellei t ami perverte 1 conscience
aro not tho really true ones. They ma) '
all he fair to eye, but false to the heart.;
and fatal to both. They fail in the very na ;
tore of their lisle, for they hold no water, j
Water here i* u-ed a* a metaphor, ami aj
beautiful one it is, for it suggests first, that :
thirst for religion anil Anally that through
satisfaction of a cooling draught to the!
tlliraty "I|J. We need each of us to-day
some adajiled to nur taste ; we do not vvnnt
a flicker, we want a sun; not n drink, iij
fountain ; not a mirage which attracts the:
ga/.e and a* the weary traveller approach
es, fade* away into the dim distance, but j
something that will endure, something
tlicit will stay with us forever. There is no!
light, or life, or peace, or joy apart from
God. Each of you should know this to be;
io. Weary wanderers, will ye not return j
to your Father's house? I ask not how
prodigal you may have been, how much
of your substanceyou have wa-ted ; it tuny
have beon your promising youth, it may
have been your glorinu* manhood ; I care
not for this, I say. Only get ujv a* you
ure, it may bo in rag-, but go. partake of
His I)rend Ito not for-ake God. Think
