It seems, in apite of the Keporter a ad
rice to the contrary, that the republic
ca na will hold a Co. Convention this
week, to nominate a candidate for 1 i>t.
Attorney. Now what's the use we
have a candidate, Mr. Fortney, in the
field already who will knock your nomi
nee to kingdom cum, and into a swamp
three miles beyond.
The Patriot says during the entire mx
years in which William P. Scbsll. the
democratic candidate fbr auditor gener
al has been a member of the legislature,
his record shows a uniform and conus
tent effort in behalf of the public vel>
fare. He has opposed special legialat ion
and voted for general laws. In every
instance in which he was celled upon to
rote on the subject of protecting the
wages of labor he rotevl to protect the
honest laborer. In ISSP and 1877 he
supported and voted for the exemption
lasts. He opposed the repeal of the
usury laws in 1856. In 1858 and 18W he
opposed the discrimination by railroad
companies against local Heights, Why
•houhl not ths toilers support a man
who for twenty-fire rears of public and
private life has always stood up manfully

The operetiTes ia the cotton mills of
Bolton in England and vicinity, to the

Ther are after the poor Chinamen
again "in California. A San Francisco
dispatch of 19 inst says, that on the pre
vious night the entire Chinese quarters
of Grass Valley, except one house, were
burned. Over forty buildings were des
troyed. A supposed incendiary attempt
was made to accomplish the same pur
pose a few days sgo. This morning a
body of armed men left Roseville, Placer
county, and proceeded up the Auburn
rood warning all Chinamen, numbering
some sixty, in the seven camps visited,
to leave before midnight under penalty
■of death. Some left at once. Twelve at
UarJock'a camp refused to leave, though
threatened. The proceedings were con
ducted quietly and no violence offered.
It ie believed by Wednesday not a
Chinaman will remain in the township.
The refugees are mostly gathering at
Falsom.
The term of J. P. Gephart. the new
Chairman of Dm. Standing Committee,
will commence, Jan. 1 1576, according to
a recent rule. Mr. Gephart will make
an energetic chairman lor next year's
important campaign.
Tweed has been before an Aldermen's
committee, in New York, and is telling
all he knows about the ring and iis steal
ings. In all the astounding revelations
of plunderings he admits that he had a
hand and was the head centre. The
ring he says was organized for the pur
poses of plunder. He will mention the
names of all connected with it and who
shared in the divies so far as he can re
member, sparing no one, no matter
where the blow falls. Thus far he has
given the names of many prominent
politicians who got their percentage*,
and many more will be told on before
he gets through. Tweed was a corrupt
democrat, but in his revelations thus far,
it seems as though leading republicans
were engaged, or broogbt np to be hie
helpers and co-workers, and got their
share of the spoils. Upon one corrupt
measure he states be secured the vote of
every republican senator, save one, pay
ing the more influential ones $40,000 to
$50,000 for their vote and rapport.
Tweed'• revelations thus far, fall heavily
upon the republican ranks, and in his
biggest schemes for robbing the city he
had the assistance of leaden and officials
of that party. In his testimony it sp
pears that an effort was made by some
of the ring to quiet Tilden, who was
prosecuting the tbievea. Tbe transac
tion by which the partiee told Tweed it
could be done involved the purchase of
a certain claim for $75,000. But the
thieves found Tilden not made of that
kind of material. When Tweed was
asked whether Tilden let up on him, he
answered "not much, and that it was the
first time be found himself fooled."
While the republican party is receiv
ing the heaviest shots through Tweed's
confession, we do not intend to pass
over tha fact that he also mentions tbe
names of democrats—but tbe confession
goes to show that it was through aid re
ceived from republicans thst enabled
him to put through his moet important
jobs, and by which millions flowed into
the pockets of tbe ring. All bills were
raised 15 per cent, and this the ring
pocketed. On transactions that in the
aggregate would foot up the expenditure
of from Bto 10 million dollars, 15 per
cent would he a rich steal.
This ring hfs been broken. Thanks
to Samuel J. Tilden who was among the
first to make war upon it These
New York politicians, like were
#iown as "liberal fellows," "good
fellows," said all that sort, just as all
politicians are who wish to steal and
plunder, and make "good fellows" of
themselves in order to blind the eyes of
the dear people thereby. Keep your eye
on snch.
The greenback party held its state
convention at Williams port last week,
and nominated the following ticket, by
acclamation:
Supreme Judge— Benjamin S. Bentley
of Lycoming county.
Auditor General—J. E. Emerson of
Beaver. , . .
State Treasurer —James L. Wright of
Philadelphia.
The democracy of New Jersey nomU
nated Gen. M'Ciellan for governor, on

The Mifflin county rads in their con
vention last weak, declared in iavor of
D. J. Morrell of Cambria, for governor,
and Hartrsnft for U. S. Senator. It seems
that the Mifflin rads wont take any
Cameron in theirs. Perhaps Don will
be around at the proper time and like
his daddy used to do, mix the dose for
them, and make them drink it. Don't
you think so, Mr. Gasette?
T
Grant is now in Scotland.
The republicans have been very un
easy of late, fearing the organisation of
the IT.1 T . S. Senate would foil into the
hands of the democrats, because of the
danger there is of the four carpel bag
senators Affiliating with the democrats.
lVmocrats will not mix with stich stock,
and will get control of the senate ift *
fair way before long.
' Senator Wallaiw. of tbi* state, and
Senator Ransom, of North tTarolina,
while in Washington recently,expressed
themselves strongly opposed to the pro
ject of getting control of the senate by
any of the means which hate been
thrown out recently to tempt the demo
eratic party. For years past, they argue,
the democracy has been very bitter in
its denunciation of the class of politi
cians represented by tliese very men
who are now in a sort of prophetic way
relied upon to turn over the organisa
tion of lite senate to them. For the
party at this time, with an honorable
victory in its grasp, to make terms or
even to affiliate with these men, would
be considered worse than folly, if not the
most impolitic thing that could he done.
Suppose, these senators argue, that by
persuasion or committee offers the car
pet-baggers could be won over, it will be
clear that in tinier to hold the vote the
democracy w ill he for the present sub
ject to these very men, so that the victo
ry really would be theirs. They prefer
to have the organisation secured in a
fair way, as it certainly will he, in 157..
There is a great deal of misunder
standing on this sensational question,
but it is simple when the senate rules
are considered. The senate is a perpet
ual body, and a new organization instead
of being set for any particular time, ia
brought about \jy > motion to a
new set of officers whan any part feels
strong enough to call for such a motion.
Including Senator Morton, andcountiug
Senator Davis with the republicans, they
have a majority of six. Morton's absence
will reduce it to five. If Conover, Pat
terson. Horsey and Spencer should also
make it convenient to bo away, which is
simply taken for granted on very uncer
tain foundation, there would be a repub
lican majority of but one, and this might
easily be transformed into a democratic
majority of one if Senator Ihtvis should
affiliate with tho democracy. The cer
tain admission of Butler, Spofford sr.d
Eustis would secure a democratic organi
sation, but it is plain this could only be
kept by the purchase or conversion of
the four carpet baggers, which, under no
circumstances now visible, is at all likely
to take place.
Judge Elwell declines the nomination
for Supreme Judge by the "Working
men's" party. In his letter of declina
tion Judge Elwell says:
"I regard and appreciate this action of
the representative men, assembled at
Harris burg on the loth inst., as a com
phment and an hoaor, but am not pre
pared to sever all connection with the
party with which 1 have hitherto acted.
Having full faith in the disposition and
ability of that party to effect ail needed
reforms, as well on behalf of the labor
ing classes as of all others, I caunot con
sent to become a standard bearer of any
new party organization."
Judge El well's words are true—the
Democratic party is the only party true
to the interests and welfare of the work
ing class, and hence every workingman,
should vote its ticket.
In last week's Reporter we called at
tention to the fact that our next fair,
October 3to sth, would be one of the
best yet held. That is just what some
of our papers ontside our county, that
have seen the premium list say, as will
be seen from the followingextracts: -
We acknowledge the receipt of a com
plimentary cart! of admission from the
management of the Centre county Agri
cultural Fair, to commence on the Sri of
October. In looking over the list of
premiuma we find it very full, covering
a vast number of articles, as well assouui
new features not hitherto introduced in
to agricultural exhibitions. That the
present fair will be one of the society's
best, we have every assurance, and one
too, that will be worth visiting by lilair
county farmers in the absence of any ex
hibition of their own this year. Centre
county is one of the garden spots of the
State, and has within herself all the ele
ments neceesarv to get up a first-class
agricultural show. — AUoona Tribune.
The Centre County Agricultural Socie
ty will holdAheir annual Fair at Belle
fonte, commencing ou Wednesday, Oc
tober 3d. The premium list is arranged
with admirable judgement, being well
calculated to attract a large number and
variety of exhibits, as well as crowds of
sight-seers.— Ointon Democrat.
The officers of the Centre County Agri
cultural Society have forwarded us a
"free ticket" to the Fair. Now, if they
will send us some expense money—say
15—we may be able to attend. "We're
dead-broke*". Radical misgovernment
tells on us just like it does on other peo
ple.—Clearfield Republican (Don.)
Hard to please, our Republican friends.
First they howled themselves hoarse be
cause the true inwardness of the Tweed
Ring wasn't disclosed, and now that
Tweed begins to confess they howl
themselves hoarser because it is likely
to be.
AN UNPRECEDENTED SCENE.
Correspondence Newark Journal.
For over a dozen years I have attend
ed conventions and other pnblic assem
blages, 'both in New Jersey and New
York, as a press representative, my bus
iness being simply to note what I heard
and describe what I saw; but never
have I witnessed the scene, or rather
series of scenes, presented to-day in
Taylor's opera house upon the nomina
tion of General George B. M'Clellan for
governor of New Jersey. The picture
presented was wildly, madly, thrillingly
exciting. A gray headed, clear eyed Jei*
seyinan from Warren, a veteran attends
antou democratic gatherings, stood by
me on the stage and said, "This beau
anything I ever saw. Its wonderful!"
And, assuredly, it was. It haa been
likened to the picture presented six
years ago in the same place, when the
tall, handsome manly form of J. Daggett
Hunt (peace to his names '.) arose and,
in the famous "pit to dome" speech, the
name of Joel Parker was presented by
him; bat the likeness is not a good one.
The scene attending Parker's nomina
tion was exciting and enthusiastic even
to a dramatic point; but that which I
and two thousand others have tfiiat wit
nessed was infinitely more so. It was a
very epidemic of applause, a contagion
of excitement, a whirlwind of man's un
controllable enthuaiasm.
Lewis V. Bogy, senior Senator from
Missouri, died on 20, at bis home in St. 1
Louis, aged 64 years. Without great
abilities, Mr. Bogy had a successful ca
reer. The key to this success may, per
haps, be found in the following paper,
which he placed in his mother's hands
when a lad of 19 years, he left home to,
push bis way in the world:
"St. Genevieve, Jan. 1(3,1832. —On this
day I left home under charge of Mr.
William Shannon, an old friend of my
father, to go to Kaskaskia to read law in
the office of Judge l'ope. My education
is very limited, but with hard study 1
mav overcome it. I am determined to
buy it, and my intention is to return to
my native Sta'te to practise if I can quails
fy myself. and while doing so to work to
become United States Senator for my
native State, and to work for this till I
am sixty vearsold. I will pray God to
give me the resolution to persevere in
this intention. I have communicated
this to my mother, and given her this
paper to keep. So help me, God.
LEWIS V. Boov."
The boy was as good as his word. He
took his seat as Senator from Missouri
on March 4,1873, and lie celebrated his
-sixtieth birthday 6n April 9 of the same
year.
Hayes, the do facto president, is now in

marks uiulf* the ..bow hen*'. * Inch
may be rci.4 v itl| profit by the renders
of lh Ucpwßer. ; It ny* thefc tiro more
things known about us tluut we suppose.
For instance, people who make lulls at
the grocer's uul butcher's mj fancy
that only the particular dealers with
whom they have long traded ai • able to
tell how prompt they are in paying, and
a hether or not they are >h ->imt !e custo
mers.
As a matter of fact, however, they are
all the time building up a tepiitation lor
responsibility and trustworthiness
which speedily Incomes known to e
--tailors throughout the city. It they
chance to enter a new shop to make
purchases, their ability to pay Inlls, and
their habit of promptly paying tlu ut, or
being dilatory in the matter, arc known
to the civil merchant, who is c.iger to
have them run up an account, or tables
paiua to see that the goods ate deliver
ed only on the payment of the auh, ac
cording na their known reputation ia.
The gauge the dealer of the erirto
mer'a standing as to reaponnibiUfy and
aa to his promptness in meeting bills is
not a haphaaaid one, but a accurate and
readily applied.
There is in New York an institution
called the Retail Healer*' Protective As
sociation, to which belong the merchants
of good business who sell at retail to the
claws of people w ho are included, or aini
to be included, in the well-to-do part of
the community, and who have teen
regular purchasers of private supplies
This asaociatiou, with great care and
surprising accuracy, obtains the fads
which go to show the financial position
of each of these individuals, and what
I the habit of each is as to the payment of
bills. This information, so valuable to
the retail dealer, is furnished him in the
form of an alphabetical directory, w here
in against each name is set down the
person's standing in these regards. For
this bulky folio, containing many thous
ands of names, the member of the asso
ciation pays a large price yearly. It eua
blea him to tell exactly what sort ofuiati
bis customer is—whether it Is safe to
trust him or not. This knowledge he
can get by a minute's examination ofthe
directory.
l'eople, therefore, who Lave found
that a strange dealer was in no haste to
send thein the bill for what they had
bought, or was particular to exact the
money before they got the goods, will
now understand the reason w by.
Thus we see how desirable tt is to
maintain a good character, to pay our
bills promptly, and to secure the confi
dence of those with whom we trade. It
is idle to fancy that a tuau who has
cheated one prominent grocer can play
the same game on another ; that a man
who keeps his tailor chasing after him
to collect his dues, aud never pays until
driveu to it, can easily lead another
tailor into the same m rape, lie must
plank down the cash, or go without the
goods. He has sent before him a herald
who proclaims his reputation, and be he
nevireo well dressed, aud though he
present a countenance of placiJeat as
surance, the dealer who belongs to this
association is not deluded by him.
The most remarkable thing about the
facts obtained by his new example of the
organisation of modern life, is that
wealth aud credit do uot always go to
gether. Rich men, very rich men, not
infrequently are undesirable people to
trust. They hate to par their bills. Re
lying on their known iinanc : al sound
j ncss to get trusted, they keep the trader
, without his money until his patience is
almost exhausted. Some such men will
uot settle a bill until they are threaten
ed with legal proceedings, and then they
haggle over it, and, taking advantage of
the creditor's dislike of going to law, or
his fear of the expense, get off without
payiug any interest, though interest is
fairly due. eren'if they don't manage to
get an honest account cut down. These
rich men arc pirates, and they are now
known to the dealers generally, and
marked as such in their private associa
tive records.
There are other people who, having
the means to pay a bill, delay acttliug it
from mere dilatorineas, or because they
dislike to diminish their bank accounts.
The dealer knows they will pay in the
end; but they are not the best custo
mers to have, and what be knows ail his
fellow members of the association know
also. Perhaps some men who read these
words have wondered why, though rich,
they have not been readily received and
trusted by retailers. They will under
stand better now, and we hope they will
treasure up the leason of what we say,
and never fail hereafter to pay their bills
like men when they are honestly due.
It is a mean business, keeping a creditor
at your heels for money you know you
ought to pay, when all the time you
have it about you. Yet there arc men
who never like to pay a bill until it haa
been much creased with frequent fold
ing, and has grown yellow with age.
Their small obligations they can put off.
and they do it; their large ones they pay
because they must. They are not honest
are not fit to belong to a church, for they
withhold from the laborer his hire; yet
some of them occupy the best pews, and
they would resent it as an insult if their
piety was impugned.
Another curious fact is shown. Pome
times men are poor pay, while their
wives are good pay. In such cases cither
the wife has money of her own, or she
defrays her expenses from a regular al
lowance, which she manages to belter
purpose than her husband his income.
This is greatly to the credit of women,
and we record it with much satisfaction.
Shallow observers or flippant fellows
prate about tbo extravagance of women,
and, undoubtedly, some of them are free
in the expenditure of money on dress;
but, as a rule, women are more econo
mical than men, and treat themselves to
fewer luxuries.
Take them as a whole, probably the
families with moderate bat sufficient in
comes, who have to watch their expen
ses, are as good people to trust as any.
Of these, as also of those in more afflu
ent circumstances, there are, however
many who refuse to be trusted, who pay
cash as they go along. Such men are
also known to theshopkeepere, and they
are sure to be welcomed with a smile.
They are men of wisdom and honesty ;
and so are those who are slow to make
bills, require that they shall be frequent
ly sent in, and pay them immediately
they are received. Unless you can do
that, except in rare cases, never make a
bill.
As we said in the beginning, so organ
ized is the social machine in these days,
there isUgreat deal more known about
a man than he fancies. Then let every
body so conduct himself that nothing
can be known about him of which lie
will have any reason to be ashamed.

AA?l> SAFE ROBBED OF
$;3,ooo.
Cheyenne, Wy., September 18.—An
eastern bound passenger train which pass
ed here at throe p. m. to day was stopped
and robbed by thirteen masked men at
Big Springs, Neb., 100 miles east of this
city, toniglil. Tho robbers first look pos
session of tbo station at tho Springs, de
stroyed the telegraph instrument* and
compelled the agent to bang out n red
light. When the train slopped they beard
ed it and placed the train men and passen
gers on guard. The express car was bro
ken open and the safe robbed of about
$76,000.
Tho passengers were alio robbed, hut
lliuir losses are not yet known. In order
to delay the train in reaching the next
station where an alarm could be given, the
fire in tho locomotive was dampened with
water. A freight train overtaking tbe
passenger train, its enginn was sent on to
Ogiillitla, whence the report of tho rob
bery comes. It is believed that the rob
bera have gone northward. The railroad
company oiler a reward of $6,000 for the
capture ol the robbers.
Promises kept inspire confidence ;

1 SCIENCE AND WONDERS IN THE
HEAVENS.
It would be strange if the world should
' bo led back to a belief in astrology by
1 1science, which is commonly supposed to
'be tbe deadly enemy of superstitions-
Nevertheles* it ia true that scientific
men are every day showing more and
more clearly how great is the influence of |
. the celestial bodies upon the earth and its]
inhabitants. We may not be willing
with Sir William Thomson—who, it]
should be said, has reiterated and defend
ed his theory at the late meeting cf the;
' British Association at Plymouth—to be-j
' illeve that life itself was brought to the'
earth by meteorites containing spores and!
I germ* or even "liva Colorado beetles," as
, he asserts to be possible, but no one is now
, in a position to doubt that piaguo* and
• famines are often due to the influence ot
the starry heavens. It Sir William's prop
osition be true, one of the main these* ot
the astrologers would, in effect, be well
enough established, since tbo origin of
tile is a very imi>orUnt factor in man'a
fate, and his destiny may evan now have
been iully worked out in some wanderer
in tbe sky ; but this is not so important a
matter as might be. What has been
shown is that, for instance, the periodica)
droughts in India, which occasion famines,
bear a wonderful coincidence in lime witb
periods of great frequency of sun spots:.
I terrestrial cyclones are due largely to tbe
influence of the tun, and indeed that this
i great body governs the world not only in
i mass but in rainutuc. A writer in the
English scientific journal, Nature, has
even lately thought it important to ask
whether or not sunlight will not extin
guish fire on the earth. So far na bis ob
servations had extended, he bad found it
true that fire will not burn ao well under
the full rays of the tun as when sheltered
from them. The notion that such ia the
case is a very old one, but, Bke that which
asserts the influence of the moon upon lu
natics, it had long been discarded as a su
perstition.
' It isgentrally true that there it tome
solid basil for a belief which has long been
.entertained, and the preachers of the sun
myth have not yet explained atl ancient
nations by tracing tbem back to a source
which itself needs explanation. How, for
example, it the fact of the reference of
plague* and the like groat "visitation*" to
the influence of tbe heavenly bodies—a
fact which has existed for ages and (till
holds—how is this to be explainod uuloss
tho people among whom it originated knew
at least of the coincidence of changes in the
celestial bodies and tho appearance of
great calamities among tbe children of
men ? It i* curtain that this ceincidenee
exists ; how did they know it ? It was ths
darts of the far shooting Apollo that sent
the plague among the Greek army at
Troy, according to Homer and equally ac
cording to modern science.
Plainly the subject should be investi
gated. If Kctpigbi, Zollner, Young, Loo
mis and Uuggins are to meet and stand on
common ground with Mme. Blavatsky and .
the rest of our Theosophists, it is high .
time that we should know what is in store
for us and provide for it. Possibly it ia
true that the celebrated vintage of tho year
IHI 1 was due to Ualley's comet, as was al
so the remarkable fact jvhiuh roused so
much attention at the time—namely, thai
tho wife of a shoemaker in "NVhitechapol '
bore four children at a hillh. Tho plague
of 1008 was coincident with the comet of
i that year. In 1710 Lima was toppled over i
because of a similar celestial visitor, and
in North America many unusually largol
(locks of pigeons were seen at about the
time of the ca'aitropiie and akycy prodl
igy. It will not d* l for u| to apurn the*e r
