Wolf, of Lewiabunr, was at the republican atate convention, at liar riaburg last week, and made a speech in which he said, "I am here aa a rebuke to the Camurona." Bully for you Charles —but suppose Simon and hia Hon won't be rebuked, what then? Down in Kentucky, in Henry coun- Ir, last week, the people treated four men to Lynch law. The fellows were taken out of jail at night, aud hung. Three were brothers. For the last 1? years they were pert of a band of ban ditU, who shot, stole and burned with out fear. Some of their comrades were lynched some time before. Mr. A. K. Cornell is the repnblican naval officer at New York. atwPnn infiu ential repnblican leader, and Chairman of the republican state committee. Ac cording to Hayes' recent order, being a federal office holder. Mr. Cornell can not longer take a hand in managing poli tics, and must either resign the naval Office or the chairmanship. But Cornel! swears he'll do neither, and defies the President, and has gone on and issued s call for the meeting of the state conven tion. Cornell# rebellion is attracting large attention, and the cabinet has had his oontnmacions conduct under conaid eration. Cornell, if removed by the fraudulent President, will submit his case to the senate, and cxpecta that body will not sanction Haves' new civil ser vice rules, and that it will not confirm the appointment of another. Well, lets aee who'll win ia thia family quarrel. By a collision on the At. A Gr. Wes tern railroad, ou 5, 1000 barrels of oil and a locomotive were destroyed by fire. Dan Hastings was on the committee on resolutions in the rad state convention, last week. If tbey sour on any ones stomach, Dan did it, of course. There seems to be no doubt now that Otman Pasha the Turkish General, is Gen. R. Clay Crawford, an American who sertred in the confederate army. Gea. Reynolds ia authority for this, he has corresponded with him since the war and in 1573 had a letter from him stating that he was in the service of the Egyptian government and waa called Osman Bey. He heard of him subse quently as being ia the Turkish ser vice under the title of Osman Pasha. The democrats carried California, last week, and have a majority in both houses which will elect e United States senator in place of Sorgeant, radical. PaMmore the Cameron nominee for auditor general ia known to many in Centre connty, as a Life Insurance tramp —who, like the other common tramp, went from house to bouso to pester peo ple to have their lives insured, and at one time took much pains to explain to us "lbs plan" of his company. Every body will understand what the "plan" of the Camerom clan ia without much ex planation from Pass more. Thisrs U dead. France mourns the decease of her greatest scholar, historian and statesman. The Republic looses its mightiest leader. Thiers was the terror of the monarchists, and the maintaar of the Republic. At SO years of ago he was vigorous, dear-sighted, watchful, as though in the noon-day of life. The enemies of a republic in France found in Mr. Thiers the great obstacle to the es tablishment of an empire, and in his death they behold a mighty obstacle out of their way, and intrigue and plotting may again triumph in the downfall of the Republic with the assistance of the seemingly untrue MacMahon, now presi dent of the Republic, who is ruled by hie wife, and she desires the empire rees tablished. The death of Thiers is a heavy lose to the republicans of France. They may carry tha October elections still, bnt with Thiers alive, there would have been no doubt. Every citiien of tbe United States aympathisee with hie re publican bretheren in France over the lose of their powerful leader. Ail friends of the French republic are apprehensive of a plot to establish a monarchy, and Franeo may wake up some morning and find tho republic turned ont of doors and soma sprig of defunct royalty upon tha throne. Tha Tribune aays private letters from Peris report thst the situation there is grow ing as exciting and full of suspense as the third act of a melodrama. Jacques and his confreres are said to congregate sboat the wineshope of St Antoine, and indnlge in fierce talk while Madame De farge, back of tba counter with a flower in her hair, knits hard and scowls with darker meaning than in tha days of Jonea the locknsaker. It is reported in these council chambers that the Prince Imperial is to marry tha Marshal's daughter as soon as b# is seated on tbe throne, as the price of MtcMahon's treachery to the Republic. Madame MacMahon ia also believed to hold all tha atringa which movs tbe larger pup pets, and hence that plump, well-preaer ved old lady, who drives comfortably about with a poodle in her arms, is doomed by the people to a worse fall than Marie Antoinette, if Jacques should ever get into power again. Mean time, the Marshal has crowded every alleyway with soldiers, the police force are doubled within tbe last ihree weeks, and all go about armed to the toeth. Aa half tbe soldiers in Paris two monthsago had wivaa and sweethearts in tha quar ter of St. Antoine, city-born men have been ordered to the provinces, and the forces now guarding the metropolis are all from the country. They are a lean, hungry, spiritless set of men, but will probably prove more effective tools should the Mtrabal find that the result of the elections calls for a coup d'etat on his part. Persona are even to be found who prophesy that this coup d'etat is certain and will be successful, end thst tbe Exposition will be opened next Summer by the Empress and her son in stead of the Msrsbsl and bis comforta ble wife. Baseless as most of these ru mors undoubtedly are, they gire evi dence of a feverish, excited condition of tbe public mind, which mast continue ■stil the October elections restore confi dence—or destroy it. The Democrats in different sections are organising "Souare Timber" clubs as a compliment to Colonel Noyes. RA I) SI A TE COEVEttTION. In the rad state convention, Mr. Hunu a delegate from Philadelphia, eent a reso lution to the chair, which was not read but the gist of which was that the con vention commend the christian charac ter of Mr. Hayes exhibited in his every day life, and propose as appropriate to bo sung at the White House every even ing (belittle hymn beginning, "When 1 can read my title clear," The Philadelphia bovs sat in a close circle, embracing McManua, Leeds, Ash, McOullough, lhinn, Albright, I\>ugla*s and others, and they made the hall musical with hilarious and Irreverent speeches about President llayes' title to hie office. Judge Stencil of Allegheny was nominated by aeclama tion. On the nominations for auditor gener al, Mr. Wolfe, of I'nion, endorsed Boeder's nomination in a violent speech againet Mackev ar.d others who used their influence for Paasmore. He daitn ed that it waa not a fight between Pass* more and Keeder. but the people against the treasury ring He declared that Mackev'• conduct has been perfidious. His remarks created a great senaation, and he was alternately hissed and ap plauded. He spoke for more than half an hour in denunciation of the unworthy means used to defeat Keeder. Ue warned the convention that if they nominated Hart and Paasmore there was great danger tf the defeat of the republican party. A. Wilson Norrie late private secreta ry to Gov. Harirauft, said it pained liim to denounce friends of long years, but three months ago he went to the men now opposing Keeder and they promised to eitheraupport him or remain neulral, and he now impeached them for their diaboneatv. He charged them with mak ing war against Har'.ranft because they could not control hia appointments, lie appealed to the young Republicans to aland by Hertranft- A decided sensation followed litis pub lic defiant declaration of war by Hart ranft againat Cameron, aa all at once re garded Norrie us the oracle of the Gov ernor. When be declared with violent emphasis that he uttered the truth be fore God when he said that the blowa apparently aimed at Fell and Keeder were intended as deathly atabe at Hart* ran ft. lie said that be could no longer be silent, that the issue had come and must be met. and he closed with the un qualified notice that revolution and dis aster were at hand unless the tameron dog# of war should be called otT at once. W. B. Hart was nominated for atate treasurer. The convention then proceeded to the first ballot for auditor general, which re sulted lu 165 votes for John A. M. l'sss* more and 62 votes for Howard J. Keed er. The ticket was the one fixed on by Cameron, who had control of the con vention. Hon. W. H. Armstrong, of Williams port, was chairman. At last boea Tweed is temporarily oat of jail. The aldermanic committee on the investigation of ring frauds met on 6. ffo. M. Tweed was present with hia counsel and gave a history of the vari ous offices he held under the city. He testified to a ring that was formed in the board of supervisors for passing exces sive bills in IS6O. The ring consisted of Koach, Briggs and himself. In 1863 Henry Smith was added to it, in 16tk John Fox, and in 1866 James Hayes, sad in 1667 Isaac J. Oliver and Andrew J. Biakely were added, but the last two did not know all that waa going on, but they got their rake. In IS7O the board of supervisors was abolished. The Tweed ring had nothing to do with the supervisors ring, the format was under Hoffman's administration as mayor, and was composed of witness, John T. lloff man, Comptroller Brsnnan and Street Commissioner Cornell. They mat only for secret and political purposes. Some of these men went out of office and this ring then became composed of A. Oakey , Hall, Comptroller Connelly, Street Com- J missioner M'Lean and himself. Paaamore, with whom Mackey beat Hart ran ft and Reedor, is probably the greatest blatherskite in Pennsylvania, lie is a lift insurance agent, and first cousin to the lightning rod man and aewing machine pirate. Correct—ao aaya the Pittsburg Post. The Pope's health is not improved. His limbs are partially paralyzed. A democratic legislature in California, and a democratic U. S. Senator gained in consequence, was well enough for last week. Schors denies the charge that ha ap pointed a Tilden man to office—Mr. Finley, to a position in the Interior Dept. While the appointment of a Til den man might be a credit to tbe ad ministration, it would certainly be a dis credit to any democrat to be connected with a fraudulent administration. California baa 38 democratic majority in tbe legislature on joint ballot Steal ing tbe presidency had a bad effect in the golden state. Judge Black in hia closing speech to the Electoral Commis sion spoke thus: "Justice travels with a leaden heel bat strikes with an iron hand. Wait till thetlood gate ia lifted, and a full head of water cornea rushing on. Wait and you will see fine grinding then." Hayes has wilted on the Cornell busi ness. The cabinet had tbe case up again on Friday 7, and it waa resolved to let Cornell alone until after congress meets. A bold soger boy ia Hayes, to b# snub bed in his sivil service order by a subor dinate. J. C. C. Wbaley.of the CI. Itemocrat, is the member of the Dem. State Central Committee, from this senatorial district. A good and fitting selection. Judge Smith of New Orleans has recent ly delivered an extra-judicial, but seem ingty righteous decision. James C'azentre who has a wife and several children, courted Maggie Horn's younger sistor, as suming tbe name of Joe Wagner, and rep resenting himself as a single man. When the older shier heard that ha was a mar ried man, and was going about among bis friends boasting of his new conquest, the lay in wait for him, threw lima or Hour in bis face, and then knocked him down. The gay deceiver applied for an order of arrest, but the Judge discharged the as sailant with these words/ "You hsve done just what you should do As furtbis man, I have seen much of human nature, but never in my life have I seen so muuh meanness in so little ofGod's make. There is a man who assumes a name and repre sents himself as a single man, to mnke love to an unprotected young lady, and when her sister discovers that he ia a fraud, the punishes him herself because she has no one to do it for her. lie has the impudence to call in a Court of justice and sk for redress. Inm sorry that the law doe* net permit me to punish liirn a* he ought to be. If you had beat him more severely, he would have got just what be deserved. ' The recent speeches of the Presidential party makes a Boston paper sigh for Web -1 eter, Everett, or fifteen seconds of General Grant. A lawyer in tSt. Louis declined a fee of $4,000, saying that $3,000 was enough. T lis being his first offense, he will not be disbarred. 1 • RM: PESESVAU. I:\ < 11 F.
