The democratic *Ute ticket in t'alifor
hia is elected hv a plurality of A\oo<\
We do not conceive how the Philadcb
phia Times makes the blunder of set
ting down the radical nominees of this
county, as the democratic ticket. 1-ook
at the* head of the Reporter Mr, Times,
ami set yourself right.
The democrats of Clinton county m?
in convention on Ist, and nominated S.
K. Peale, esq., for senator, aubjec t to de
cision of district conference (; WiUiam
Parsons, jr.. for district attorney : John
Candor, sheriff; A. H. Slrayer, treasur
er; Jacob Gets, Hugh Shaw, commis
sioners ; and 11 M. Mcrris, J. 11. t hath
aui. jr., for auditors. The delegate* to
the Erie convention were instructed for
Col. A. C. Noyes for governor.
The democratic senatorial conference
of this district, met at Belkfonte, on 2nd,
and elected A. J. Qttigley. of lliuton,
delegate to the Erie convention, ami iu
strncted him for A. C. Noyes for gover
nor.
The democratic state convention met
at Erie, yesterday, Wednesday. As we
go to press we have no intelligence of it.-
doings. Will furnish proceedings iu
oar next.
The efforts that the rads are making
to defeat laniel A. Musser, for Treasur
er. might as well be directed against a
solid wall of masonry. Mr. Musser w ill
attend to the duties of the office faithful
ly : he ais man whose honesty and in
tegrity none dare question. He never
w as anything else but an active, consist
ent democrat, always in the harness,and
it would be ungrateful in any democrat
to refuse to give him his vote.
The radical nominee for Register, is a
Mr. Lehr, of Philipsburg. After conven
tion adjourned, one ofthe delegates from
that borough told us that he would not
vote for Lehr, as he is uot able to do his
own business. How then can Lehr I*?
entrusted with the important office of
Register, in which business is tranu ted
connected with the estates of our coun
ty. A man who can not manage hisown
business affairs successfully, is less calla
ble of managing the affaire of the public
in general.
An objection of this kind cannot be
brought against Mr. Wm. A. Burchfield.
He is honest, competent, poor, and a
cripple, and a worthier and more deserv
ing man could not has* been placed in
nomination by any party. Then choose
between Lehr, the incompeteut, and the
worthy and competent Burchfield.
The swift-winged justice which over
took a parcel of young housebreakers, in
Bellefonte, at our last court, may serve as
a wholesome warning to other hoys in
Bellefonte as well as in other towus.
Some of the boys who w ere sent to the
penitentiary from that tow n a short time
ago. were the terror of the place, and the
guides to mislead the children of other
parents, and bring them to the same ball
end. It is a pity that young and tender
youths like those referred to, should
liave the stigma ofa penitentiary service
attached to them, and make them out
casts from society—yet it was right, for
it may be the means to save other boys
from a similar fate, and thus render the
citizen and bis home safer, by a check
that will be put upon youthful burglars.
The boy who is just entering the A B C
of thieving, will halt and rctlect w hen he
learns the fete of those older in crime,
and a man may be the result instead of a
career that will lead him to the gallows.
The district attorney, Mr. Spaugier, de
serves credit, for doing his duty in this
matter, and if the same promptness and
summary proceedings were hail in all
cases of this kind, there would be less
crime, and boys would have a whole
some terror of the law.

The golden state held her election on
2nd, and a sweeping democratic victory
is the result. The democracy elect their
state ticket by a large majority, have
a gain of two congressmen, and a large
majority in the legislature. Thus does
the state that always adhered to demo
cratic bard money give her verdict in
fevor of the good old party.
There were four complete state tickets
in the field in California, the offices to
be filled by the voters at large being nine
in number. The republican ticket was
headed by Timothy G. Phelps, for gov
ernor, the democratic by William Irwin,
the present acting lieutenant; the inde
pendent by Hon. John Bidwell, an ex
member of congress, and the temperance
ticket by W. E. Lovett. The independ
ent candidate for lieutenant governor
was RoumaJdo Pachecc, who had been
elected lieutenant governor as a repub
lican in 1871, and became governor on
March 4, last, by the election of Gover
nor Newton Booth to the United States,
senate. At the presidential election of
1872 Grant had a majority of 13,302, and
the republican state ticket was elected in
1871 by 5,061 majority. Previous to that
year the state had gone republican and
democratic by turns for some years.
Grant's majority in 1868 having been oa
ly 506, while the democrats had nearly
10,000 majority the preceding year.
In the present state of mining 4,000
feet is a greater depth than is possible to
mine coal. The deepest mines in Eng
land, which scarcely exceed 2,000 feet,
possess a temperature of 85 degrees!
At 3,000 feet the heat of the mines would
be over 100 degrees, and at 4,000 feet it
would be 120 degrees. Rapidly waving
currents of air may reduce these tem-i
peratures several degrees, and compress-'
ed air may still further cool the work
ings ; but newer discoveries in ventila
tion must be made before 4,000 feet can
be reached.
Hon. Jefferson Davis's services at ag
ricultural fairs at the West are still in ac
tive demand, which he seems perfectly
willing to supply. He has just accepted
an invitation to speak at De Soto, Jeffer
son county, Mo., and the St. Louis Re
publican says that the "Republicans are
vieiug with the Democrats to give him
a hearty reception."

Josephus Soov, Jr., tho Repubiieat
Treasurer of the Slate of New Jersey, ha*
bwt proven a defaulter to the State to a
large amount, jx-obably reachiug S>O,OCK
or 170,000. Sonic years ago he was a
prominent member of the Methodist
Church at Mouut Holly, and was tin
powcwor of considerable money> and
quite a Ugh! in the Republican party.
By a judicioua ex|u4jture of hi> funds
he was elected Treasurer ot the State in
1870, and for three successive terms of a
year each. Last winter a Republican
Senate and a Democratic House caused
a dead-lock, which resulted in Mr. Soot
holding over.
The Mayor of Trenton, accompanied
by (Quartermaster General U'clls, of New
Jersey, arrived in Philadelphia, on 29
and, proceeding at once to the Central
Station, obtained the assistance of a spe

quainted with the habits and resorts ot
tlui defaulting Treasurer, spent the day
in visiting 4 number of low taverns an<

SenatorThurtnap in a speech deliver
ed at Manstield, 0., a few days ago,said .
Is there a man here who has not heard
of the Union Pacific Railroad Company
and the Credit Mobilier? Is thereon*
of you who does nut know, by sworn tes
timony taken before Congressional com
mittees, that by the frauds of these com
panies, principally ruled and governed
by certain members of Congncss, the
people of the United .States are absolute
ly certain to lose not less than $50,000,-
000? Has any one of you forgotten that
over $435,000 were used by these com jin
nies to procure the passage of an amend
ment to the railroajl charter by the cor
ruption of members of Congress—an
amendment that surrendered the most
important rights of the Government,
and in the end entailed upon the pcojile
the loss to which I have referred ? Is it
necessary for me to pro.luce the proof
taken at the last session of Congress that
over $700,000 were employed by the Pu
cifiec Mail .Steamship Company to pro
cure from Congress an immense public
subsidy? Must I read to you the testi
mony given before a Senate committee
a few years since, to show that bribery
of New York Custom-House officers had
become an established usage? Or is it
necessary to more than meutfen the
prosecutions by the Government of mer
chants, great and small, charged with de
frauding the revenue out of millions by
smuggling or otherwise—not one of
which frauds or offenses could have been
committed had not Government officers
assisted in its commission ? Have you
not heart! of the practices of the whisky
rings, defrauding the Government out
of untold amounts of taxes, through the
connivance and with the aid of pari bus
ed revenue officials ? Must I do more
than remind you that the official reports
of responsible officers of your army and
the statements of disinterested private
citizens have clearly shown that, through
the fraudulent practices of Indiaii agents,
I and contractors, large numbers of In-)
dians whom the Government is bound
by treaty stipulations to uj>port have
lately beeu ou the very verge of starva
tion, and the country (hereby menaced
with an Indian war? Js it rp>| an indis
putable fact that the appropriations for
the Indians and the Indiuu Bureau are
annually about $3,000,000 more than
they pure in 1800, and that through the
frauds aa peculations of "Indian rings,"
in collusion with rfjfyyernment officials,
millions of this money atw £)'•■ rv year
embezzled? Have you not heard how
fraud, bribery and corruption existed in
the Post -Office Department, under the
xery nose, HO to speak of the Postmoster-
General himself frauds and nfleii-e- -<>
gross as to necessitate not only the dis

After reading, says the Times, the ad
:rable charge of Judge Pershing in the
-a-- of the Commissioners of v-huylkill
•uinty, who were convicted on Thurs-
day la.-t of nn.-di.uuat.'or in office, it
teems like a positive robbery to tah.
'.hat gentleman from the ln-nch by mak
ng bint a candidate for Governor, even
while it must tie admitted that he ha
•learly earned promotion. The couimi--
-loners, of whom tin. e t; "■*' three, \ a!-
••ntine Rentier, Moses Hinesnd Patrick
onrov, were severally charged with
having negligently and corruptly per
formed their duties, and one of them.
Conroy, with J.a. ;:ijj;n interest in tin
•onstruction of a barn uttaciied to the
ounty almshouse. Thecx idence, which
was rather disjointed and vague, was
made singularly clear and connected by
lie judge's charge. Asa body,thecom
■ni-.-ioners were sJjo" - n to have awarded
i contract without advertising, and to
have jiasscd and approved hill# that were
'lumped/' and in which the charges
•verc exaggerated, while Conroy was
proved to have actually done work f r
the county while couctuuing Jjfe identity
behind the thin disguise of hie wife's
name. He only was charged with cor
ruption, the Tithcr commissioners hav
ing simply prred from ignorance and
acted with negligence. Judge Pershing
how ever held to the letter ofthelawand
enforced it upon the minds of the jury
men, that public officials were bound to
know the law, and that it is their duty
to ascertain all tjig facts of a given case,
and that if they do not, and aye negli
gent, they arc guilty of a penal offence.
Ujion this charge conviction was had,
and a very wholesome precedent estab
lished, which we hope to see followed in
Philadelphia before many years have
elapsed.
The investigation into the canal frauds
of New Yurk hux'e borne their first fruit
in the disgorging of about $12,000 by
i,ewis J. Bennett, who participated in
one of the fraudulent awards for extra
work. Gov. Tilden seems to be doing
excellent work for the people of New-
York. It is certainly much to be re
gretted ti,iU jj i; cannot have such n man
for governor of Pennsylvania, .Vp| with
standing that the jiartisans of Hartrunft
claim that he has been an excellent gov
ernor, we regret that we can j>oint to no
act of reform that has distinguished his
administration, 'fhpre has been abund
