C*KTRB HALL, Ta., Aug. 23, 1877.
In tbe Cheetcr county republican
convention, last week, resolutions
were passed, after a warm little fight,
endorsing the Hayes administration by
a vote of 97 to 80.
The N. Y. Wortd offers the democracy
of Pennsylvania some wholesome advice.
It says: There appears to be some in
clination on the part of the Democrats
in Pennsylvania to go ofl at half-cock
and adopt a platform agreeable to tbe
Pittsburg rioters and Mollie Maguiie*
for fear the Republicans ahould do so.
I*t our brethren keep cool and take
counsel of Shakespeare. If the enemy
is an ass and a fool and a prating cox
comb. ia it right, look you, that we. too,
should make asses and foola and prating
coxcombs of ourselves.
In Maine the republicans are also in
a snarl, like in Ohio. Blaine gave the
republican state convention ami ita do
ings an anti-Hayek color. aad now the
llarcsitea threaten to get up an opposi
tion ticket. Trouble thickens with the
fraudulent administration, and the party
its threatened with disruption. The
wv of the trausgreaaorjs hard, indeed,
and it seems that no matter how fair a
policy Mr. Hayes may pursue, the fact
that he occupies a seat that belongs to
Mr. Tilden.casts a shadow over all his
acts. While he follows a democrat!*
policy, the democrats deteat him because
he occupies a stolen chair, and the re
publican leaders give him the cold
shoulder, swearing at him for deserting
theui and their principles. Ihe only
thing he could do that would bo credita
ble, would bo to resign and aak the na
tion to forgive the crime that he permit
ted to be perpetrated.
"Brick Ponteroy haa been divorced s
second time, and "haa married hia third
wife.
Wo never tdok any stock in Brick
Pomeroy or his kind of politicians.
Brick is a fop and a fool, and the less
slock women take in him the belter for
them. The third wife ahould have taken
warning from previous divorces, and
had better spent her dayt in aingle
blessedness than hitch with a subject
like Pomeroy in double cuaacdnees.

"OLD TOMXT Bxowsr," the oldest fire
miu in Philadelphia and who had run
to over 1,500 fires, is dead. He was 72
years of age.
We rather guess he haa gone orer to
that other big fire.
The latest we have from Elisabeth ia
this, from a New York paper:
Mr*. Tilton ia very contented, and as
some one expressed it, is "not only as
happv as a bird, but lives like a queen.'
Certain it ia that, from never having
worn other than neutral tints in cloth
ing and abstained from jewelry, ah# has
blossomed tint Into colors, and even
makes up her face a little. She deciaras
that the was "never so happy nor ao
religions."
The latest we heard from Beecher
was, that he considered bread and water
good enough for workingmen, and *i
suppose at the same time he thought
$12,000 per year was not too much for his
preaching.
It is expected that a delegation of In
dian chiefs including Red Cloud, Spot
t*J Tail and other prominent men of the
various tribes will visit Washington
soon for a talk with Mr. Hayes.
They should certainly seud an invita
tion to the old Winnebago, at Harris
burg, to be present, he could put in a
grunt or two, and might tell Hayes he's
' a heap big fraud.''

Clinton Democrat, 16, says: Mr
Mackey being sfifiriently recovered to
attend to business, be visited tbe Bank
on Monday and has since given it daily
attention. A call has been issued for s
meeting of tbe Stockholders on next
Tuesday, when tbe question of the Bank
resuming will be considered and discuss
ed. The United States Bank Examiner
and Directors have examined carefully
tbe condition of the Bank, and we are
told that it is tfceir opinion that the
Bank is not only solvent, bat that the
stock will be worth fifty cents on tbe
dollar at least. The President assures
us that come what may—whether the
Bank resume or go into the hands of a
Receiver—the depositors will be paid,
in installments, and poesiblv within a
year, every dollar that the Bank owes
them.
At the annnal meeting of the Texas
dc Pacific Railroad, held in Philadelphia
on Tneaday, the directors gave a state
ment of what they ask from Congress.
They propose to open - a highway, 1,400
miles in length, from Fort Worth toHaa
Diego, wtficb, with the road now com
pleted, shall be under Government con
trol. They will limit the Government's
liability to $2,500,000 per an nam, for
which a first mortgage is offered on the
road, and 18,000.000 acres of land. Gov
ernment bonds bearing five per cent.in
terest are aaked at tbe rale of $35,000 per
mile of road constructed, $5,000 per mile
to remain in the Treasury of tbe United
States. It is a private enterprise, they
say, designed to secure to the people,
without coet to the Government, a na
tional highway, the conetrUction of
which at this time ie believed to be a
field for the employment of surplus
population.
Prohibitionists hare already called
their State Convention to meet at Har
risburg on the 12th of September, and
now the Greenback State committee
have iaaued a call for a convention to
meet at Williamsport on the 19th of the
game month. The various labor organi
zations are getting their somewhat dis
cordant elements into line for a conven
tion, and it will be called in a few days.
The Prohibitionists don't assume in
their call that they will nominate a
State ticket, but they propose to consid
er the expediency of doing so. The
Greenback men, however, declare <heir
purpose to nominate a full ticket, and
the Labor party will doubtless do like
wise, if it don't swarm into two or three
political families, with a full list of can
didates for each.
Tbe democratic state convention met
at Harrisburg, on Wednesday. We will
furnish a report of its doing in our next
issue.

A LONG 11.4 A*.
The war iu Europe lias been dragging
itself slowly •Joint, ami now conic sur
mising* that It will be a long struggle.
A Time* special from l.ondon saya: The
announcement that the Russian war Ui
rector* had determined not to continue
operations beyond tbe Ralkansthi* ytar
will be received with surprise every
where. The effect will be aerlous not
aloito for Russia nor for Turkey, hut also
for those nations which have hitherto
maintained a precarious neutrality.
They w ill have to confront the fact that
the war is to be continued into another
year, instead of being ended, as all ar
deutly hoped, with this campaign.
It wua never very likely that we ahould
sec a repetition of lite seven weeks war
of 1866, but now we may aspect to wit
ness something notun ike tbe great civil
war in America—a war slow in process,
exhausting in methods and terminating
in the utter colls)** ofono of the belli
gerents.
For Russia this will doubllesa be a
misfortune. One year of war ia enough
to try her finances sorely, and it remains
to bo seen bow tbe will bear the strain.
The people at home will suffer, aud it
will take all their faith in the Emperor
to make them resigned to what they
must undergo.
On the other hand the war will opt u
to the Government reserves of individ
ual wealth upon which it ia impossible
to draw in time of peace. While it la*u
the people will have to work more and
live harder than they have been in the
bebit of doing. That money will be
found to auatain it is beyond all doubt,
and moat of it must be found within the
Empire.
For Turkey the prolongation of the
war ia even a more serious affair, Bul
garia will be occupied during the winter
and theTurkiah army muat not only be
kept up in numbers to a war standard in
ethcieney but preparedness It hss
some troops in Bulgaria, as, for instance,
tbe Egyptians who must be withdrawn
to save their lives. It has others now
in rags, for whom it must provide warm
clothing, moreovar, a pound of date#
per diem, upon which, according to Mid
hat Paaha, a Turkiah toldier can main
tain himself in splendid fighting condi
tion, is not a winter ration.
Then new coutracU will be required
for ammunition and riflaa, which can
only be obtained with ready money. So
rnaDy provinces have either ceased to
yield more than a sufficient amount of
taxes through war and insurrection as
Bulgaria, llersegovina and Bosnia,
which have all been exhausted by re
quisitions of the Government; as a large
part of Alia Minor and Armenia -that for
ced loans and immense iaauea of paper
money have been reaorted to. But ex
pedienta of thia kind can not be repeat
ed.
There remains the possibility that
Egypt may be made subservient to tbe
interests of Turkiah finances. The
Khedive baa already begun to expend
iu thia war money which belongs to lira
creditors, lie sends division after di
vision of aoldiere to Constantinople, but
cannot pay coupons due without borrow
iug money from the bank of Egypt,
which when due he much regrets he
cannot repay.
Operations of this kind, however, will
do more to exhaust the Egyptian treasu
ry than to help the Turkish tiov
ernment, whose burdens are increas
ing.
AX EX. GOV. ors. c. o ir.vs i p.
Ex. Gov. Moaea, who fled from South
Carolina to escape justice for hie rascali
ties, and who was one of the scalawags
that helped to ride the state into bank
ruptcy, lately returned and waa arrested
and appearing before the investigating
committee, Moeea waa the first real in
former, and he made a clean breast of it.
He was asked to account for the various
sums which he had received as speaker
aud governor. Moses modestly estimat
ed these at 1500,000, while the higher
valuation it ss*oo,ooo though figures
were no question between Moeea end
the committee. After calling over the
larger sums, which bore heavy upon hie
memory, he acknowledged that he 'hid
spent it all.' There was 125,000 in one
pile, which he. as speaker, received from
United States Senator John J. Patterson.
'What waa that for?' It appears that in
1871 Moaea began to tire of the retail
perquisites of the position through the
committees which he appointed. Be
sides, being a candidate for governor, be
was frequently cheated by bis subordi
nates in making fair returns of the bri
bery money, their committees made.
Patterson, too, thought the machinery
waa loose, and could be made to pay a
handsome advance, as well as aid bim
in bia candidacy for tjie senatorabip. He
therefore proposed to purchase the
whole privilege from Mooes at one sin
gle dash, get control of the committees
as a systematic scheme, and turn miller
himself for his own grist and that of any
democrat or republican who had any
meal to grind, through the legisla
ture.
"Another large amount which Moaes
received stuck in bis memory, because
he had been cheated ont of a portion of
it. The Republican printing company
drew two checks of SIO,OOO each in his
favor, and left them with Hardy 8olo
mans' bank. Solomana paid Moaes
$15,000 of the proceeds, and kept $5,000.
Moees haa been threatening to sue Solo
mana for the latter ever since he found
it ont, but the question, 'What court
would entertain jurisdiction 7' has de
layed the complaint.
"During his speakership Moeea flood
ed the market with 'pay certificates,'
purporting to be for services rendered
by attaches of the house. Hundreds of
thousands of doilara of these were afloat.
Any influential could get
one, whether he bad ever been in Co
lumbia or not. To do Moees justice, he
alleged some of these to be forgeries.
Jonea, the clerk's, signature is genuine,
but hie is not. From tbeee certificates
he derived a large amount of money."
Lswisburg is near 50 miles from
Gregg township; ftsllsfonte is only 14
miles from tbs same section ; yet the far

Tbe farmers of Haines, Penn and Brush

Does Bellefonte see what is necessary to

The New York World i- indebted to
Miss Sarah N. Randolph, a great grand
daughter of Thomas Jefferson, for a
memorandum, prepared by her illustri
ous ancestor, of practical suggestions to
wards a lull to regulate the decision ol
disputes over the results of n Presiden
tial election. Mhs Randolph is a grand
daughter, also, of Wilson Gary Nicholas,
who was a Senator from Virginia in IMS'
and this document, which is appended
was found among the latter'a papers
about two months ago. too late for use
in the heated Congressional debutes on
I the late Presidential election. The fol
lowing ia the memorandum, which h
published by the World in fac simile
JKTKHON'S XISOKIMHS.
Wherwas on an election of President
or V. President of thl U 8. qnsetl HI
may arise whether an elector'haa beer
appointed tn such manner as tli* leg
islature of his State may have direct
ed ?
Whether the time at which he was|
chosen end the day on which he gave
his vote, were those determined by Con
gresa?
Whether he were not at the lime a
Senator or Representative of the F. S.
or held an office of trust or profit under
the U.S.?
Whether one at least of the persons he
has voted for ia an inhabitant of a Stale
other than hi*ow n?
Whether the electors voted by ballot
and tiave signed, certified and transmit
ted to tbe President of tbe Senate a list
of all the rereous voted for and of the
number or votes for each?
Whether the persona voted for -. re
natural-born citiseua or were cituens ot
the U.S., at the time of the adoption of
the Constitution, were 35 years old and
had been fourteen years resident within
the U. 8.?
And the Constitution of the U.S. Lav
ing directed that the President of the
Senate shall, in the presence of the Sen
ate and 11. of Representatives, open all
the certificates, and that the vote# shall
then be counted, from which is meat
reasonably inferred that they are to be
counted by the members rompoeing the
said houses and brought there for that
office, no other being assigned them and
inferred the more reasonably, aa there
by the constitutional weight of each
State in the election of these high otli
cera ia exactly preserved in the tribunal
which ie to judge of its validity, the
number of Senators and Representatives
from each State composing the said
tribunal being exactly that of the electors
of the same Slate.
Be it therefore enacted, Ac., [hero iu-
Mrt the former clause.)
Provides that the certificates of the
Executive of an v State shall be couclu
aive evidence that the requisite uuuiber
of votes haa beeu giveu for each elector
,named by him as such. [Here add all
other limitations ou the preceding quea
tiona which may be thought proper,
stating what the two houses shall not
decide.)
And be it further enacted. That what*
soever the vote of one or more of the
elector! of any Slate shall, for any cause
whatever, be adjudged invalid it shall
be lawful for the Senators and lleprt
tentative* of the aaid stole, either iu the
presence of the two houses, or separate
ly aud withdrawn from them, to decide
by their own votes to which of the per
sons voted for by any of the electors of
their State (or to what nereouf the in
valid vote or votes shall be given, for
which purpose they shall be allowed
the term of one hour anil no longer,
during which no other certificate ehail
be offered or proceeded on.
The Times says the great need of such
a statute ts was proposed was keenly
felt last winter. Mr. Jefferson saw the
danger attendant upon a disputed I 1 resi
dential count, and it was probably in
anticipation of the bitter contest of ISA)
between hie own friends and those of
Aaron Burr that thie paper was prepar
ed. Senator Nicholas of \ irginis,
among whose papers it was found, was a
man of note in hie day and waa known
as Mr. Jefferson's personal friend and
representative in Congress. The World
thinks that Mr. Jefferson designed that
.Senator Nicholas ebonld offer it as an
amendment to the bill reported by Mr.
Rote February 4,1800,fr0m a Senate com
mit tee appointed to drafts plan for decid
ing disputed elections for President end
Vice Prtaident of the United States. An
incident of the debates on that bill was
the Grand Commission scheme, unearth
ed by Senator Bayard last winter, which
was the prototype of the Commission
that gave Mr. Hayes tho Preaidency. It
is interesting to observe that Mr. Jeffer
son contemplated the challenge of nn
elector on the ground of ineligibility aud
foreshadowed all the leading points pre
sented in the casee before Congress lest
winter in connection with the votes of
Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina,
and it is even more worthy of note that
he held to the theory that the members
of the two houses of Congress, not the
President of the Senate, shall count'the
votes. It is a pity that thie document
was not brought to light six months ago.
There would have been a hot dispute
over its authenticity, hut is that would
have beeu placed beyond question it
might have played an important part
and exerted a wholesome influence in
the settlement of the dispute. Even
now it will be cherished as one of the
most valuable contributions to the liter
ature of Presidential counts.
THE AVOIR OKU Eli OF LAST
MARCH.
HOW DOS CAM EBON BIXVFED THE I'BKSI
DENT ISTO WITHHOLDISO IT.
[From the New Orleans Times, Au
gust 3.]
Colonel W. M. I-evy has given to the
Natchitoches Vindicator an interesting
account of some of the inside workings
of the Grant Administration at therlose
ofita last term. Concerning the order
which President Grant issued to Gener
al Augnr for the withdrawal of the
troops, Colonel I/evy says:
On the 2d of March General Grant
showed to ns the draft of the order dis
recting the withdrawal of the troopa, in
accordance with hia previously declared
intention, which he said he would send
to General Augur by telegraph. That
Geners! Grant did direct thie order to be
sent I am hilly satisfied and convinced;
how or by whom it was suppressed or
withheld !am unable to state, and in
time, perhaps, a disclosure may be
made which will fix the pefidy we're it
belonga.
There are some curious and interest
ing facts connected with this .matter
which the Times can now properly give
to the public. The President issued the
order mentioned bv Colonel Levy. It
was sent to General Sherman at 12 m.,
March 2. For some reason the Presi
dent did not submit the order to the
Secretary of War, nor did the Secretary
knew that it had been issued until by
accideut be learned that it was in tbe
Adjutant-General's hands for transmis
sion to New Orleans. He immediately
ordered the Adjutant-General not to
send it, as ithad not come through "the
proper military channels." General
Townscnd tried to say that "the Presi
dent and General Sherman"—"Damn
the President ami Sherman, too," broke
in the angry Pennsvlvanian. "I am
either Secretary of War or I am not.
Grant, who is an old soldier, ought to
have known better tban to do s thing
which is a deliberate insult to me." He
directed General Townscnd to notify
General Sherman that "the order to
General Augur to remove tiie troops
from the State House in Ixjuisuna was
withheld by the Secretary of War for
sufficient reasons."
General Shsrmsn went st once to the
President, and said that while he would
send the order himself if the President
wished, yet as it was one of great im
portance, it had better go through the
proper channels, and be signed by the
Secretary of War, and that he thought
Cameron had better be sent for. The
President himself wrote Cameron a note
and aaked Mr. Lackey, his Private Sec
retary, to be the bearer of it, a the mat-
ter was one of cir.it Mr. I
Cameron immediately *nl to tlin (
White House. and found tlx* President

HORRIBLE MASSACRE OF CHRIS
TIANS, AND DESTRUCTION
OK PROPEKTT.
July 31st, tho day of Russian evacuation
of Ktki Saghrn, Turks ordered that all
Christians, men, women and children
should be shot as they left their bouses.
These who remained within were burnt
alive. Tho order was given to burn down
and destroy every particle of Christian
property. Many leading Turkish pier
chants took part in the affair. One des
patched a large number of Rashi Baeotiks
all over Tichierpen district. This district
is one of the richest in that partofTurkey
It contains a very largo proportion of
Christians, over thirty churches and five
hundred schools and colleges, all of which
have been burnt. Tbe destruction extend
ed to tho villages of Brogbden, Mabalesi,
Rani Mahalesi and many others in all
about sixty, containing from 160 to 200
families each. Scarcely fifty persons es
caped alive. Bulgarian fugitives at
Gebrova and Selvi estimate that from 12,-
000 to 16,000 Christians havo been massa
cred in Eski Saghra and Tchirpan district

TITUSVILLK NEW OIL FKVEII.
{lVcm the Tilusville licrald J
There was a greater ruth on Monday to
the now fatuous gravel bed well* at East
Tilusville than has ever occurred before
since the commencement of the devel
opment. Si* stages were kept constantly
running during tha entire day. A new
well ou lot No. 30, Gilo farm, which was
finished on Saturday, commenced pump
ing at a rate which astonished the hun
dreds of people congregated round the ro
mantic spot. It putnped a stream of al
most solid oil, about as tbick at a man's
wrist, for hours, which brought the en
'U-u*iaut of lease seekers up to fever howl.
Mr. Archie JobnsU n, who it one of the
leading spirits in this novel enterprise, in
forms us that leases on the Gile farm will
be rented to-day for a bonus and half the
oil. The Johnson licuta did a business
'yesterday equal to that of tbe days of an-
Joient I'lihole The crest ruth seems to
be in the vicinity of the producing wells,
but leases are anxiously sought after aad
gobbled up from the city limits to tbe Ve
nango county line, beyond Fine creek.
This extraordinary and unpreeedent
;ed development has pucxlvd the most as
tute operators, geologists, and scientists.
That it is a natural deposit realed up be
tween 2 layer* of blue clay in the outcrop
ping* of the first sand is generally con
ceded. It may extend for miles, and
again it may be limited to the bate of tbe
bill, where it has already been found.
Like the Bullion Run territory, it* extent
can only be determined by thoroughly
testing tbe entire surrounding district
Theie is plenty of money here for the
small capitalist Ot *of the wells, which
cost only sl3 to tink, inside of a day and
a half, hat pumped twenty barrels a day
sinee last Saturday.

A DAKOTA TO\TN CONSUMED.
Dead wood, D. T., August 18—The
town of Gayville, two miles from this
place, was almost entirely destroyed by
fire this morning. Only one or two house*
were saved Tbe fire originated in
Varna's retaurant There being no wa
ter for lire purposes the flame* spread ra
pidly, and in thrve hours destroyad about
two hundred houses, ranging in value
from SSO to $2,500 The total loss is esti
mated at $60,000. There is no insurance.

Clearfield coal operator* will read this
with interest: Ohio is to be the "Black
Country," fifty years hence, according to
predictions of an Ohio paper. In half a
century, says the paper, the district of 100
miles square, including tbe counties of
Athens, Perry end Hocking, will equal
any coal region in the world. The district
he* twenty-two feet of solid coal in five
seams. The great vein i* in places twelve
feet thick, end nowhere less than six feet
Mingled among the coal beds are inex
haustible beds of iron. The thickest is live
feet deep et tbe outcrop ; the thinnest, in
places, sinks to six inches.
Harper's for September is distinguished
not only by the boauliful illustrations and
the interest which attache* to overy arti
