St. Louis has bean decided upon a
the plaee and the 27 of June next as tin
time for holding the next democratic na
tional convention, for the nomination o
candidates for president and vice-presi
dent
The democracy have now fixed tw>
things for the next presidential earn
paign—the time and place for the meet
ing of the next national ©.invention
Two more things temain to le fixe*
upon which are of vastly more imp-1
tanoe to the party and the nation thai
the above—the democracy must flxnpoi
candidates for president and vice-presi
dent who will be sure to win. V hat w
want is one of the ablest anil purest dew
ocratic statesmen placed in nominatioi
for president with an unexceptional'!*
man for vice-president. The people art
tired of Grantiam and crooked whiskey
rings, and they will vote a good dem
on tic ticket if oar national conventit
will give them the opportunity. M "
good nominees, there is not much nets
for a platform. The man is what w ill I
looked too. We place little value up*
paper platforms. The people don't car
o tig about high sounding resolution
but want the man with the right ring i
him, and that will be platform enougl
of itself. Supjswe Geu. Washington o
Old Hickory were here and placed it
nomination, no one but an idiot o
Wendell Phittipa would ask for the plat
form. Give us good men —let harm or
prevail and with brisk work from tl
Atlantic to the Pacific, and the dem
rracy will be triumphant next Novem
ber.
Moulton has written a letter to tin
Plymouth Advisory Council, iu w hie I
he savs: "I send this comuaunicatit
to the Council simply to say that I an
prepared to prove Henry Ward Beech e
guilty of adultery and perjury by evi
dence both oral and documentary, am
that, if allowed the opportunity of pro
during such proof before the Council
fail to ausiain this assurance, then 1 an
willing to be denounced by mankind a
:* wretch devoid of truth and honor am
unworthy of human association."

RETURS OF REASOX.
We are glad to note a return of reasoi
ami brotherly kindness and charity
among a class of democrats in Centr
county, whose democracy was of ths
strait and strict quality, that they wonh
refuse to support a candidate f-r offict
if he at any time, however remote, be
longed to the opposition party. Th;
this political fastidtousuess is w earing of
we are pleased to note from the doing
of the democratic county convention
which re-assembled ou Tuesday of la.-
week and where Andrew G. Curtin w.
warmly recommended as the democrat n
nominee for the vice presidency. Mr
Curtin was long the head of the republi
• can party in this state, and for the las
four years has acted with the democrat;
party —an acquisition to our ranks o
which we are proud, and the democrat*}
need not feel ashamed of him—he is ;
sore loss to the republicans and a gre.i
democratic gain. It is not too late to d<
good and throw off squeamish notions
and we trust that this will be the end o;
calling gentlemen like Adam Hoy "bain
democrats," although he hails from tin
oldest and best democratic families i:
Centre county, and has acted with tin
democratic party four years to Gov
Curtin's one. This same uncharitabh
feeling was shown towards our excelien
member of congress, Col. Mackey, be
cause he at one time w as a whig and ye
alter having acted for a dozen of year
with the democratic party, some weres
line in their political tastes that the}
joined in with an independent move
ment lo defeat him because he man}
years ago belonged to the oppositioi
party. We are pleased to think tha'
this foolish proseriptivc feeling has beei;
thrown aside by the stand some of thcs<
gentlemen have taken in favor of Cur
tin, and that they will live up to it witl
consistency and extend a welcome ham'
to all decent republicans who may with
to join the democratic ranks.
BRISTOL' STOCK WASISG.
Bristow is Grant's cabinet officer who
did his duty in bringing the crookeo
whiskey ring to justice. When the Sec
retary started out against these robbers
and before lighting struck so close 011 t<
the heels of the president himself, and
knocked private secretary Babcock int<
a swoon, we say before this bolt descend
ed, many radical organs all over the
country were loud in praise of Bristow
and brought him forward for the presi
dency. But as soon as in the discharge
of his sworn duty his hand fell upon
Babcock, so soon Bristow's radical ad
mirers commenced to cool down, and
not one is left to say, "Bristow for presi
dent." This is proof that the republi
can party managers do not look with ap
proval updn the efforts made by Secre
tary Bristow to break up the thieving
whiskey ring. 80 long as it did not in
terfere with the thieves near the throne
it was all right and Bristow was lauded,
but as soon as tbe brave secretary's
work led him into the white-boose it
self, and he went on fearlessly in the
discharge of his duties, then radical ad
miration for a faithful officer ceased.
What a picture this presents! There is
no longer any doubt in the minds of
honest men, that the crooked whiskey
ritjg had its principal branch office in
the white-house, and if there was one
place above all others where lightning
should strike, it was right there, and be
cause it did strike there, the hand that
directed it is cursed by all third-term
politicians, federal office holders and
revenue thieves.
Bristow did hie duty, hence Bristow
will not make a /it candidate for the
radical party for president.
The jury has acquitted Babcock. That
is what was ccpected and predicted be
forehand. The administration could
Jiol afford to have any other verdict,
and left nothing undone that might serve
to bring about an acquittal. It was not
clearly proven that Babcoc k was guilty,
and it was not made very plain that he
was innocent—that's where the matter
will rest. The other jury, the people
themselves, are of the opinion that Bab
was a partner in the crooked whiskey
frauds. He, at all events, was very
thick with-tbe revenue thieves, and the
Babcock telegrams read just like such
despatches would passing between
rogues that were operating to defraud
the government. Grant swore that
Bab gave him a satisfactory explanation
of those despatches but he did not re
'jßWaber whit be expbwwrtrw was ts to
single one of them. How queer*
What !\ pity that a president ofthe I'm

Exit Don l"ario-;enter Queen J-aU-11,.
Tiiat is said to be the arrangement of
•■ving Alfonso, who. when the war i
•ver, nil! meet the ex-Queen at the
rentiers of France and c-curt her in
regal state to Madrid. This is Bourboi
iiadue.se. Nothing else could suggc.-'
uch a suicidal step. A dissolute Queen,
aho was driven from a throne by the
people, is to be forced into position again
ta one of the earliest results of a success
.ul war. King Alfonso will have troub
<?s enough to face and overcome with
out those of his own making. If he rc
introduce Queen Isabella into Spain lie
will have to shoulder her crimes and
olundera, as well as his own mistakes,
and that will be a load to crush a strong
er man than he. The young King has a
rough road to travel. All his enemies
sill not leave Spain when Don Carlo
rosses the borders, ami he should
strengthen his position by judicious ac
! tion, not weaken it by acts of folly. But
he is a Bourbon, and any crooked path
is possible to him and his supporters, as
it was to the J-tuarts, of England, unci the
fate of the races will be identical at last
The selfishness of the Stuarts alienated
from them all their followers in England
and Scotland, brave, devoted gentlemen,
is many of them were, That w ill ulti
mately be the history of the Bourbons
m Spain. And there is no better way
to make the wheel of certain fate revolve
with increased rapidity than to install
Queen Isabella in the Royal I'alace at
Madrid. Ihe affections of the son w ill
not cover the outrage of the king.—

A GAUGE.sHOWS THE PROFITS OI
ILLEGITIMATE DISTILLING
A correspondent of the Morrislown (ia

(. inl* frem which ihe profit* of the iiquor
traffic can readily he seen: "l'ethaps i
f--w items gleaned from an United Sla lei
liauger may interest some of y->ur re*den
and contain some useful information. I
have been a*-igned l" tbe distillery nf Col
William Greene, a* United Slates Guagcl
•ince the 20th of lal May, and wiil ba
my remarks on nay knowledge of hu
opera'.ions. llit distiilrrv produrea, on an
average 244 ga'lons pr-vo? spirits per day.

neat lillie sum of $1,750 per year not profit
to l"nc!e Sam on one smali distillery.
Tlie Profit*.
"We wiil now lake a giancn at the dia
liiler'a profits. A good article of corn
whiskey will sell readily at $2 per gallon,
the distiller • share of which, after paying
the tax, is sl,lO per gallon, which for on,
day's production would be $24.76. Deduct
the expense for one day . First, the in.
lerest n hi* capital invested i* not more
than 50 cent*; ten bushel* of corn, the
amount used each day. would he $4 at tbe
rtirrenl price; but half that ran he saved
by feeding the slop to hugs, so that we will
pui down $2 for corn; one arid a half
cord* furnace wood at 60 cent* will ho 76
cents; three regular work-hand* at 60
c-nu each, ia $1,60; ono practical distiller
$1; allow $2,76 per day fur boarding the
hands, and we have a total of ss,so ex- {
pense; deduct this fr-on $24.75, and it
leave* a net profit of $1,25 to the distiller
per day, or the very comfortable income
of $1 906,26 per year in return for, sav sl, I
invested and managed with anything
like energy and judgment These figures
are correct, and wiil abow your reader*
the difference between a legitimate, tax
paying enterprise, and the illicit, moon
