The uational temperance alliance ol

was chose n[predc 111. Resolutions were
adopted in favor of constitutional prohi
bition, and officers elected for the ensu

ens informally dtmatd the exiHHlieucy
of making State nominations, and a iargv
majority strongly favor such action. R.
A. Brown, of Lawrence, was strongly
urged for the gubernatorial nomination.
ISTEJTRIEWISG THE GRASS HOP
PERS
A Waaliingtou item says that on th
suggestion of lYofeasor Hayden tlie in
terior department has decided to send
two entomologists to the western conn
try to investigate the cause of the grass
hopper plague. These entomologists
will no doubt firat try to find the hide
where the leading grasshoppers put up
and introduce themselves, or present
letters of introduction from Prof. Hay
den and tlie Sec'v of the Interior. II
will then be arranged between the hop
pers and the entomologists to have s
grand hop, to which all the most gaudy
he and she grasshoppers and such
friends as the entomologists may desig
nate will be invited ; after tbe hop wine
segars and tobacco (the latter for tlu
hoppers as they are all inveterate chaw
ere) will be ordered, and the entomolo
gists and hoppers will have a convivial
hour, sipping, toasting and smoking, and
squirting tobacco juice, the latter by tilt
hoppers. The entomologists will weai
swallow tail coats and the old continen
tal style of leggins, which will give then:
the grasshopper custunie as near as car
be imitated, and which will be so ap
propriate on the eve of the centennial
The entomologists will next proceed tc
interview the grasshoppers, each one
buttonholing a prominent hopper foi
that purpose. The hoppers will then
be questioned about the crop prospect!
for the present year, and as to the cause
of the failure of the crops in Kansas and
Nebraska last year. Tlie hoppers will
no doubt recommend deep ploughing and
liming, of which the entomologists will
dutifully make a note, and will evince a
deep interest in all that concerns the suc
cessful cultivation of grain and grass, sta
ples ao necessary for the welfare of men
and hoppers : Winejand sogars w ill be
passed around fur the entomologists,
with rations of tobacco for the hop
pers. The instructions from the interi
or department are, to continue the inter
view until the desired information has
been obtained from the hoppers. As to
why they be.here, and where they came
from and w hence going, what their pop
ulation. their system of government and
whether they have Credit Mobiliera,
Jayne contracts, and a Post-office de
partment with straw bids and nibbles,
and being so fond of green things
whether they have a greenback money
system, and as to whether they will be
largely represented at the approaching
centennial, and rusticate on tha banks
of the beautiful Schuylkill next summer,
or whether they are intending to have a
second and third term in Kansas and
Nebraska. The report of the entomolo
gists will make a large volume, with por
traits of the leading hoppers, male and
female, some in family groups, and some
in the grass and grain fields gathering in
the crops. The entomologists upon
their return will be classed among the |
"diplomatic corps," and commissioned j
to interview the potato bug, and acertain !
the cause of that plague, who his daddy 1
was, and whether he carried naturaliza
tion papers and "had come to stay,"—
the U. 8. fooling the bills—of the ento- j
mologistr. When these keen scented
entomologists get sober and have re-1
ported their interview, we will faithful
ly enlighten the patient reader of the
Reporter as to the "cause of the grass-1
hopper plague."
We notice that journals outside of this
district are urging the election of ex-
Governor Curtin to fill the vacancy of
Win. A. Wallace in the state senate. The
governor would get a big vote.
A writer in the ilarrisburg Patriot
goes strongly in favor of Win. A. (ial
braith, for governor. He says : While
lam aware he has no aspirations for
public place or station, and has formerly
declined a nomination for the guberna
torial office, I insist upon it that he owes
it to the party and the people to accept
a candidacy if proffered him. He mutst
tuA, decline it, and he u ill not. But he will
not seek it by packing the convention
or plying the arts of the place-hunting
demagogue, nor thould he. If the nomi
nation comes to him, without solicita
tion, he uill take it. but not otherwise.
A U. 6. naval paymaster has defaulted
to the amount of $60,000. Hip, hip,
hurrah, we have an honest government. 1
We advise that this fellow, like the \
rest of big theives be let slip—if not ]
Grant will pardon him. i
Some of our exchanges are publishing ,
an article purporting to be an Act of As- £
aembly in relation to "Watering j
Troughs" to be erected on public reads. t
They do so under a mistake.—there is a
no such law. The one proposed last
winter did not pass, though such a law r
is much needed, and we hofce it will be t<
passed next wintef fi
MISERS .SI \RR\RYII a
At last some of the strikers have got
into the clutches of the law, and reeoiv- 5
ed their dues for the troubles, riot, and
interference with private rights which •'
they have caused. Some of these fel
lows were arrested for the troub- l'
lea they have stirred up by inviting the
miners of the Clearfield region to strike
followed by disgraceful riots, and threat- 1
ening the lives and property of citiiens v
We are glad that for once an example 1
has boon nutde of the fellows, who 1
mislead the poor laborer into these rnin- *
aim strikes by pretending to Ih> their
friend*. The sooner the John sincy * !
Xingo I'arks, and such villains get i'V '
years in the state's prison, the better for t
the laboring miner and the peace of so- *
ciety and the people in general. These '
loaders live otf of the aalaries they get 1
as officers aud agents of the working-j<
men's unions, and w hieh cornea out ol I
the monthly wages of their jkht dtt|ws. 1 1
Judge Orvi* has given these jn-sts a little 1
I Lists of the law. and the,entire country 1
, will extol him for it. The following is 1
the result of the trial iu Cleartleld last 1
week, which is >111111110! up iu a dispatch 1
dated Clenrtield. June 15, thus
The thirtystwo striking utim-rs who 1
were (bund guilty last evening of con
spiracy and riot were called for sentence
' this afternoon. Judge Orvia divided the
r criminals into three classes and pr -1
nouncc-d senteneo as follows:
' Tin first chuta consisted of John 11 I
" Joyce, president of the miners' union in
' this region, John J. Maloney. secretary,
Ralph I'arks, Geo. M'Gowan, riiouia*
Hurcluiall am! Malhias Mayor, w ho were
-entenced to pay the costs of prosecution,
_ $25 fine and undergo an imprisonment
f of one year.
The second class consisted of thirteen
. others who were sentenced to pay tin
j costs of prosecution, a tine oftw nty-tivc |
dollars each and an iinprisonmcnt for |
v, . ,
sixty days.
There were thirteen of the third cfi:s

s tears in profusion.
TWEEDS REI.EASE.
e
l_ At length the boss is out of the peni
v tentiary. The telegraph on 15 told the
I following from New York The recep
tion of the intelligence that Wlll. M.,
'* Tweed had been discharged by the
court of appeals at Albany created apro
e found sensation here to-day. Tweed
l " received the news from Foster lk-wj. his
private secretary. He read the an
nouueement calmly, arguing that he was
s * innocent, and was willing to meet jus
•s tic*. He was subsequently informed
tliat a deputy sheritf was iu waiting to
■* I rearrest him on another suit. He said
that it did not matter, inasmuch as lit;
was prepared to give a requisite amount
" of bail.
The "Boss"' looks pale and careworn.
8 Up to a late hour no official annoui.ee
y ment of his discharge hail reached
'' Blackwrells island. It is expected that
* he will leave the island early to-iuor
row morning. A bench warrant for
e Tweed's arrest has been issued by a
r * judge otthe court of sessions on a crim
inal charge of forging, but orders of ar
rest on civil suits w ill IK- served first.
" The decision of the court of appeals in
e New York releasing William M. Tweed !
ir I from confinement has not been unex
pected. The acute lawyers employed by :
II the Boss have succeeded in fiuding a j
n tiaw iu the conduct of his prosecution ]
>m which the court of appeals are unani- j
h rnous in deciding to lie effectual for his
0 release. Until we get the full text of the
c decision we cannot say in what the er
,r ror consists, but it will doubtless be laid
n at the door of Judge I>avis, who in his
8 excessive real probably exceeded the
€ limit of the judicial function.

II THE OLD GAME .I GAIS.
J The corrupt practices that have been
" I resort eel to of late years in this county,
8 [ by some office seekers to obtain nomi
'" I nations for responsible places, have been
l " I a disgrace to our county, and caused
11 1 troubles within the democratic ranks
e I which have weakened our tickets by
"• I driving many of the honest portion of
[~ the rank and file into lukewarmness in
'* I place of the zeal and enthusiasm
which they were wont to give the noui
-18 inees of the party in days of yore when
0 trading, and tricking, [aud bribing were
? unknown as a means to secure nomina
tion. We have faithfully cried out
d against these bad practices in the 001-
I utnns of the Reporter, for the last five or
six years, and the righteous indignation
' of true and honest democrat* became
* aroused to such a degree that wesuppos-
Y ed that the characters who managed to-1
e defeat other candidates and secure a j
£ nomination for themselves by bargains j
8 j and offers to trade would cease their dis
j reputable work and that ring-practices
a j were banished at leant in Centre county.
J But we may have been deceived. We
" have just been infosmt <1 by a certain
- candidate for a prominent county office
1 that a bargain was attempted to be
p made with him to carry the name of a
3 certain candidate for senator in his
3 township on his ticket, and that because
L ' he refused to lie a party to this suitig-
J gling game, he was threatened with the
3 displeasure of the seeker after senntori
)' al honors. Another canditatc informed
- us previous to the above that he had
been notified that if he did not carry a
' certain gentleman's name uj<on his pri
l mary ticket for senator and his tow nship
* did not come instructed fox him for
- senator, he, the candidate for a county
f office, would be hooted out of the dein
- ocratic convention! That this kind of
game was carried on for the last five or
( six years in this county, is notorious
and it has had its evil effect ujhjii our
party. It lias been known that u half
„ dozen candidates for the same office 1
have thus been 111 an "arrangement" '
with one individual for senator, and of '
t course, fire of the six would find them- '
- selves cheated and duped, while their 1
i part of the understanding was carried '
out and a half dozen townships were j'
successfully fixed for the senatorship. '
We trust that every candidate, like the 1
1 one above mentioned, will run on his '
own merits and refuse to enter into a 4
bargain of this kind. We w ill just here, 1
in closing, remind candidates for county '
offices, that they steer clear of these £
bargains, else thoy shoulder a load that c
will lie hard to pass the ordeal of the '
ballot-box. Remember last winter. ''

THE COAL MINE ITS STRIKE ESIB "
ED, h
Such is the caption of a dispatch dated ■)'
Wllkeabarre, June 15, saying that the
long strike is ended. The miners ofthe
Lehigh and Wilkesbrre coal company 8 '
made an unconditional surrender a
through their delegates last night at a
meeting with Mr. Parrisb. A dozen c!
more meetings were held yesterday at T
different places. At Ashley a delcgs- v <
tion of seventy German miners v. cut to d,
a meeting for the purpose of .oting for w
resumption. Their object be- ameknown j ii(
to the leaders and they were excluded
from the meeting. They then held ajni
uccting of their own. and decided to !•
tovcrncd no longer by the iation. i
\t another meeting the Irish and n
Welsh disagreed, and the former with* a
Irew. h
At other meetings then' was al-o u 1<
lack of harmony, ami during the core h
i>f the day there was a general diaagica- a
ment as to ftiture action. The mas* id 1
the miner* were in favor of going to v
w oik. but the leaders fought hard against t
it. The sentiment a too strong for V
thctn longer to control, and a part y leUI |
cd
lu the evening a region meeting was I
held, ami the delegates then went to t
hirrish's office Here a long conference \
took place. It was very harmonious, and t
ended iuan agreement to go to work at I
once ti|K>ii the company's terms No i
concessions whatever were made by the 1
C >tnpany. I
The men staled that they had made a
mistake iu holding out s> long or in
making a strike,and were now iu want
of the necessaries of life and eager to
have work immediately Tlus>otn|uiuy |
employs about 11,000 men, and all of '
their works w ill In- started as sikiii us (
possible. I'he millers of the tndividtinl 1
operators will follow tlu example <>f the [
men of this eoiojsiuy.and there will be ,
agcueral resumption iu the Wyoming
region.
The proposition of Mr. Parish to the
men at the meeting lie for them to r< •
siime ut a reduction often p-r cent. ti| -
on thebuMi* of ISM, and that if coal
reached 15.22 |a-r ton at wholesale in
New York there would be an itdxume
of three per cent, allow ing them, it it
reachedss.lo, six percent. ,ifss,7s,nine
per cent.; and if $•. twelve per eeut.
l'ottaville, June 15.—Telegram* re
ceived from the northern section of the
Sehuvlkill region state that a nutiilwr of
>lleries resumed work among tliem sex -
I oral of the Philadelphia and Reading
I cjaleomimuy's mines. Several mines
in the vicinity of Shenandoah are work
ing a full force of men, and it was neces
sarv to turn a uumber of men off who
had applied for work. It is thought
there will be a general resumption, the
miners going to work on the operator*'
terms offered last Jauuary the 1*75 l>a
si*.

THE DL'TY OF THE DEM OF'H *< A. j
[READING EA<JTR)
Every indiiation jiotnts to the auceess
of tlie democracy in Pennsylvania thi* •
fall, am! to make success doubly sure the 1
strongest ticket should be put in the
field. There are thousands of men in i
the democratic ranks in this staU.' ivjio
would lead the democracy to victory, J
but in the selection of candidates only j
one rule should prevail, and that is to 1
place in nomination the very strongest
ami most conjicUint men. During the
past fourteen years tiie republican jsirty
has been in power in this state and na
tion, and the results of its jiolioy we set
to-day. It was charged by the w bigs in
their day, ami afterwards by the repub
licans against the democracy, that the
party in power was responsible for dull
time*in buaiiu-sa, but ive appeal to the
oldest reader ofthe Kagie to say, wheth
er at any time, within hi* knowledge,
business was anything like so sluggish
a* now. Therefore the responsibility is
upon the people to change our rulers,
and inaugurate a system of strict econo
my, cut down the expense* in every de
partment of government, turn every
swindler out of office ami elect only true
and capable men. By doing this the
people will do much to restore confi
dence and dissipate the feeling ol dis
trust now prevailing.

UIXVKTEP.
The New York Graphic says :
Mr. Beeclier ha* announced through
hi* newspaper that he shall continue lib
public ministry whatever the verdict ol
the jury in the present trial may be
Tbe fact that he hascoiitiimed to preach
with this terrible accusation resting njMin
him ha* seemed to thousands an nffront
to the pulpit and to show a strange in
sensibility to the proprieties and requires
ment* of the sacred profession. The
ability to preach and exhort under the
circumstances in which he has been sur
rounded for months, whether innocent
or guilty of the crime laid to hi* charge,
shows remarkable power of will and
something more than eccentricity of
mind. It is the deliberate opinion of
hundreds of clergymen and religious
men that he has made a grave mistake.
But if, when the trial ends, the public
are satisfied that Mr. Beeclier is guilty,
and guilty, too, not of an accidental slip
merely, but a long course of criminal
conduct, he mistakes the temper of this
community if he imagines it w ill permit
him to befoul the christian pulpit with
llis unclean presence and pour out his
paroxysmal profanations there. If he
is guilty ofthe crime laid to his charge
tc is also guilty of wholesale lying, per
ury, treachery and hypocrisy ; and if it
s believed that he is guilty he had bett
er never born than insult the moral in
itincts of the community by defiling the
tltar of God with hi* political touch,
rhe substance of human nature does not
hange much iu the course of centuries.
Tie old Romans buried alive tlie vestal
irgm detected in impurity. There are

There are Shibboleths which are legiti-!

There are to be defended and guarded

ty the sentinels are charged all along the
line to preserve them intact from tacrile
gious hands. The less to be applied toj
three principles are not of human or falH-l
Me origin, they are God's Shibboleth*.;
We arc under solemn pledge to heaven lo
i put them, and to put them with all direct-'
bi. and insjsf c:. a full, distinct, absolute,
unequivocal response, before any man i>
allowed to j>as. It is not our measuring
'line which is thus applied; it is not our
standard set up; it is not our speech to
which conformity is required. It is the
action which God demands. Theabsolute

undatnenlal principles like these from
ho Gospel and you have no Gospel left.
\nd yet men would come over to fralcr
nxewiih God's people who have climina
ed from their systems tothe very essentials
if Christianity. They profess to recciv <{th*
kripturer. but they aubstmct from the
vordt a ltd forte of the Scriptures, until
hcv are no more the infallible truth oi
iod. Like the impious litis who cut in
-jenps the prophecy with his penknife,
liesc men fgiber sharp implements from
ha rooks, or forge them ip the fervent
"-'•hair philosophical reasoning, and
"■•o-- -'—"hears through the
Irivc them like "
ively oracles until a "lbus>aitu wiu *...
ooks very much like the word of man,
ind Peter's sure word of prophe
cy is made to appear less sure than Bhak
• peare, or even the Arabian Nights.
They believe in Christ too, but instead
it making Him the corner-stone, the oera
re, the door of access to God, the way, the
ruth, and the life, the only name, the all,
He is brought down troin the eminence to
which God tho Palhet hath exalted Him.
hat itcan truly be said they have taken
• way the Lord out of theircreed, orburied
liim so deep in human rubbish that no
body can find Him. The blood which
■leanselh from all sin is so dilute 1 with
miserable mixtures of their own that its
I'tlii :uy i- totally vlisted ; and it is no loss
to ttieni either, because ttieru is but very
little sin to wash out anyhow.
They believe in the Holy Ghost too, but
assign Him so small a place in their
■.cheiiip, that one would suppose that they
actually bud not beard whether there be
any Holy Ghost. The tendency of the ago
is to the broadest Catholicism. Apply no
tests. Let everybody in without a ques
tion. Allow tho worst vagaries of the hu
man imagination a standing-place in relig
ion. Let a man denounce prayer a delu
sion, and yet he is not an infidel. He may
deny a personal Creator and upholder, an
everywhere working God in Providence ;
dead' matter originating its protoplasm,
gnd evolution presenting all forms and
gradations of life and power, both materi
al and spiritual, and yet that man not un
Atheist.
The Church of God must have its Shib
boleths or the ark is lost, and all traces ol
• divine religion will disappear from the
world. With essential error, the denial of
vital truths, wo are forbidden to have fel
lowship. Kvory crossing must be manned
with sentinels to direct every enemy with
God's Shibboleths and drive him back.
If that is bigotry, then heaven believes in
bigotry. And yet, hreathcrn, it become?
us to be extremely cautious in the pressing
>! the pass-words, lest we should aubsti
.ute out own pronunciation tor God's, arid
<but out any of the children of the fcng-
