The fact is the Bellefonte Republican "don't know nothing" at all. One of the candidates for Assembly, on the Greenback ticket. Mr. Gramlejr, is said to be a Cameron man. and if elected would Tote for Don foe I", b- Senator. How do democratic grei n backers. and an ti-Cameron repub tii-ans like that kind of thing? The Cameron republicans are scolding fiercely all along the line because the democrats nominated gov. Curtin for tvngrws. and they will spend lots of money to make votes against Andy. Democrats go into the work at once,and give the pilfering Cameron crew such a rebuke as will forever lay them upon the shelf. Go in with all your might for Dill. Curtin, and the whole demo cratic ticket. You never badbetle* can didates than now upon the ticket. The green backers of the Lycoming congressional district have nominated a preacher, Rev. J. T. DaviJ, for congress. If he gets to congress, he'H know cne thing, rix, How to hold a colleeuoa. M'Clare's Sunday Tiatfjt, the firs: ime of which reached us last week, is a good pater, and comes up fully to rnv issued in this country. It is double the size of the daily Times. The P>ellefbnte Herald h'yits fbat Car tin's election is certain. Why who donbtsit? his majority will be rai*ed h.gh as "the crests of the Alleghenies." N'ew York gives indication of belter times. A despatch, tha other dajr, a*)*s, a healthy indication of the revival of business is foand in the steady dimina tion of foreclosure sales. The depress ed condition of real estate has evidently reached its lowest level, and confidence reigns once more in the market. Heat ers in brick, lumber and kindred mote r<ai are laying in heavy stocks in antici pation of a brisk building trade for the coming year. The Penn'a Railroad in its earnings for March show?across increase nf|lß9,- 486, a decrease in expenses of ? 123,148, making an increase in the net earnings 0f5312,634. The eight months of 1879, the first two-thirds of the year, as com pared with 1877, show an increase in gross earnings of $961,423, a decrease *in expenses 0f5539,390, making an increase in the net earnings 0f51,500,513. All the lines west of Pittsburg and Erie show a deficiency in meeting their obligations of 1-532.680, being a gain over the same period of 1877 of $319,203 and during the month of $167,653. The Philadelphia and Erie report for the month of August shows gross earnings of $262,07311 for the month, the operating Cx'penses be ing $117,740,65, leaving $84,322.47 as the net result. Wo don't see why, with this favorable exhibit that Company does not fulfill its promises and complete our road, after making our people pay their stock and' bonds and cutting np oar farms. The people of this valley have great cause of complaint against the Company for vio lation of contract. A man walked into the Philadelphia yellow fever relief office, gave one tnou saud dollars to the Treasurer, refused to tell his name, and went away unrecog nized. Had this man been an office seeker he wonld have had his action heralded nil over the land for his glorification and to make votes. Dr. Glenn greenback nominee for commissioner has declined, faour grapes) because it would interfere with his busi ness arrangements. Wo can assure Dr. Glenn that bis "business arrangements'' would never have been disturbed in the least, neither is it likely that any other fellow's "business arrangements" will be disturbed by being on the greenback ticket. The greenback committee have since nominated Mr.S. T.Gray, of Patton, in lien of Glenn. Mr. Geo. G. Tate, also sent in a "with drew" as greenback nominee for pro thonotary, bat the committee wouldn't agree to it, and he withdrew his with draw. The greenbackers will make no nomi nation for Prcs't Judge, as resolved at their meeting last week, at which a bal lot was also had for senator, as follows: Capt. John A. Hunter 13, S. W.Caldwell of Clinton 11. At the same time Feth Yocnm was nominated for congress. Is Feth Bellefonte'6 next rising statesman ? Seth appeared upon invitation and both saitb "I have seen with pain the acts ol legislation," etc., "Seen with pain" is good, and the opposite of Iloyt who uth he "points with pride." Say unto us Setb, when did this radical legislation strike you first with pain, and where does it hart you, in the gizzard? It hurts moat 'o people away down in the pants pocket where the port-monai roosts. The medicine many of them are taking for it is the democratic ticket— that will care it, Seth. Capt. Hunter declined the nomination for senator in a neat speech, and the prize was handed over to Mr. Caldwell —a poor call for a eall-well. A New York bigamist who had fooled nine women into marrying him, lias come to grief.

They are both gen tie arc u well in pub lic affairs and know the wants of the working people, the class to which they always belonged. [ Wonderful discoveries in acoustics . won't cease. It is now heralded that r Israel D. Jewett, a druggist at .St. Otner, Inda., has perfected an instrument, 1 which he calls the "agnphone." which. , it is claimed, will without the aid of electricity, carbons, or any complex ma t chinery, collect distant sounds, anil car ry them to a great distance, without loss of volume. A number of experiments were made with the instrument on Sat urday —a wiru being strung nearly half t a mile. Speaking into the instrument t three or four feet away, the words were - heard clearly and distinctly at the 5 farthest end of the wire. Playing upon a violin eight feet from the instrument, the music was heard at the other end, ' in the street. Th" closing of door , 1 walking npon the door, o J.n.iry con versation, the ticking of a watch, could " be heard distinctly, without applying the instrument to the ear. Mr. Jewett . will not explain his invention at prrs j ent, nof Laying, a* yet, received letters j patent. The charge is made by a 1-ock Haven r correspondent of the Philadelphia , Times, that the Camerons sent money f into Centre county to defeat the nomi - nation of Curtin. From P-ellefonte we - hear that a check of fcSOO was received r there to be used lot the defeat .of Cur- tin at the primary eleotionsin thiscoun A rOOR OUJECTIOy. A very thin objection was that we heard a republican make to J. C. Har per, for protbonotarv. He said he ad mitted Cal was fully competent to fill the office, but that h( ires j/pung." Too thin —if Mr. Harper is competent, while he is young, all the more credit does he deserve—and it would be wrenched logic that would strike down worthy and competent young men, simply because tbey are young—throwing cold water upon every worthy young man in the land, and punishing him for being worthy in early manhood. That kind of logic won't bear handling. What we want to know about an officer, is wheth er he is competent, not his age. and while Mr. Harper is well qualified for the prothonotary's office, be is also old enough for the place too. It is perfectly amusin to see how the Cameron republicans fret, foam, spit, kick, jaw and swear because tho demo crats nominated Cnrtin for congress. They do go on fearfully about it. Kven if Curtin could not be elected, it would be worth the democrat's while to nomi nate him just to make the Cameron ring mad, which alone is big satisfaction; but in addition to makiog these state plunderers mad, we are going to elect Andy Curtin in the bargain by so large a majority, that the Camerons will all go crazy over it. Senator Dill in his Grccnsburg speech arraigned the republicans in a powerful and eloquent manner for their abuses in the government. He said that the starving labor, the idle capital, the embarrassed business circles and the general paralysis which prevail throughout the nation are the logical results of the rule of a party tiiat is unmindful of the wantsof the people: that has prostituted power to individual aid class aggrandizement and impover ished the richest country of the world. Republicanism, be said, has given us years of growing misfortune, until a ant and disorder are now the chief trophies of its authority. 1 arraign it, he con tinued, as the author of needless pros tration in our industries, and of the de moralisation that deforms the noble*t of governments. I accuse it of causeless oppression by its financial policy; of cen tralizing the circulating medium, that is the life of trade, and crushing the ener gies of the producing classes. I confront it before the civilized world as a usurper of the highest authority of a free people; as maintaining a rule that was born of unblushing fraud, and I appeal from its usurpations and protiigacy and misrule to democratic constitutional authority as the only relief for the people, and as the only safety of our free institutions. Mr. Dill then told his hearers how prosperity may he restored, and in these sound views, which we present to ottr greenback friends. He uuid: We want the increase of the national debt and the contraction of the curren cy, for the purpose of enforced re.-tnrp tion, to stop; we want the onerous taxes now imposed upon the only channels through which the people can obtain money, to be repealed; we want bank ing to be free; we want a uniform cur rency issued by the government mid to be redeemed by the government; we want the volume of money to he con trolled solely by the jyanta of the legiti mate business of the country; we want the government to cease discrediting its owe money by refusing it for debts due to the government, aud we want re trenchment and economy in every de partment of authority, municipal, state and national. These are the sources to which we must look for restored pros perity, and restored prosperity means resumption that will last. These views I regard as a just interpretation of the deliverance of the-Pittsburg convention on the financial issue. 77/ K MI KOA" < < 'HGJiU- A brace of wandering adventurers, that print the "Centre llerahl, who are not yet many months ° ,,r county, with dissimulation, and false pretense engineered the "lloruM i" 1 on humble and independent preae, and with char latan supplication imploring oureitUeue o give them a lotto aid- bnt as noon a* ihoy get hold of the "Herald" then they j .ook out with piratical notoriety, drop ho•independent" and pounee on the greenback psrtv, and declare themsel ves the grand dirt . tois i ! the | arty in his eonntv, and with evident design P ransfer it to the t atueton ting. >n ha last issue it >pi>\is forth its venom at what it teinis 'A i.

It has itea ipraront all day that the old War Governor would Le tho choice, and the reason for the delay in Iris nomination was due to the desire of the conferees to satisfy the claims of local candidates. After his nomination the ex-Governor appeared before the conference and ac cepted the nomination in a brilliant speech. His closing remarks were us follows : "Genth men, if lam elected to the popular branch of National legisla ture I will cor.suier it my highest duty iso to act as to bring to my country that prosperity and happiness which the viri-ua rula of the party in power has for the present lost io us." Messrs. Ueed, of Sliffiin. and Haker, of Union, who were candidates in opposition to Governor Cnrtin, then came before the conference and pledged their best efforts to fail success. REPUBLICAN CO.

In this county one half of the repub licans, nearly every democrat, and three fourths of the greenbackers are opposed to the Cameron ring and the re-election of Don to the U. 8. Senate. Now then the only legislative ticket sure to be against the C'atnerons, is the democratic, Gcphartanil Murray—hence greenback era aud anti-Cameron republicans should vote for the democratic nomi nees.

REPORTER Subsequent to a short sojourn in Mercer county we made a visit of several weeks to Centre county. While there wo wero asked by numerous persons belonging: to the Greenback party, as to the popularity and standing are of S. R. Mason, national nominee for GOT. of Pcnn'a ,in his own county. Not having been in Mercer county eery long previous to our visitlo Centre, and nothaying;made any inquiries into his record, we wero un able to answer their questions satisfactori ly. since our return we have taken some pains to become acquainted with Mr. Ma son's public reputation, and his integrity and fitness for the gubernatorial chair to which many eastern friends vainly im agine he will be elected- In the first place wo learn that his main strength in the county is from broken down politicians, who, for some years past bavo been trying to redeem their lost fame by allowing themselves taken in with every new movement. Among these are Fred. Brag gins, editor of the Mercer Index, Gib. White and a few other like characters, who, in tho eyes of the people, would be of little valuo in the attainment of a less enviable position than the highest throne in the state. In the second place Mr Ma son is said, and not without occasion eith er, to be a ringster, n capitalist, a monopo list—is not in sympathy with tho laboring class, therefore not fit to bo their represen tative. Ho is also one of the greatest cor poration lawyors in the state. There "is not % railroad in Mercer county, and some out of the county, for which ho has not been as counsel, and to which source he may refer much of his wealth. "Here we have for a leador, if not a corporalionist. an adTocato and friond of those branches of business which aro antagonistic to the bost interests of our country by and through which labor bas beon impoverished and capital been mado an uncompromising, heartless monarch." As a banker and 11 note shaver, Mr. Mason also owes consid erable of his financial competency, and only gave the business up when 4 percent. U. S bonds paid better, and not because tho Reform platform denounced the prac lice. As a representative of the mining class, Mr. Mason's friendship towards this class of labor may bo inferred from the fact that be was the only lawyer that the operators could securo in the suitsof eject ment against the miners in the strike of 1875, and took occasion in his plea to roc ommend tho dispatching of the ringlead ers to end the difficulties, lie denounced the miners as a class of lazy, worthless , vagabonds, consuming what honost men < produced. Whgri entreated for the dis- | tressed women and children he replied, , "They ought to suffer." Alt these thing* : aro now bearing against him, and we were told but a few days since that he would J not reooiya two-thirds of the votes of bis own party, above facts we hare from t reliable sources, and of whiyh y.' would ' ask the candid consideration of every one ( who finds his old political sentiments sbak-ji en in fuvor of tho Greenback movement.
