OVA CANDIDATE.. '
In our local columns , will be found the
- feeedings of the Republidan County
Convention, on Monday last. Entire
harmony characterlied the doings of the
Convention, and the most hopeful feel
ing prevailed among the delegates. The
ticket put in nomination is an excellent
• one in every respect, combifiing personal
popularity, marked integrity, and emi
nent fitness for the several positions.
COi. EPHRAIM MYERS, the nominee
for Assembly, is a successful and`promi
neat Merchant of Littlestovrn, thor
oughly identified iivith the large business
interests connected with the railroad
and other improvements in the southern
section of the county. He is a gentle
man of intelligence and integrity, and
active business habits. He commands
the confidence of his immediate fellow
citizens, and will undoubtedly make a
good poll. His strength was well tested,
in the warm Political contest of 1861,
When he was elected 'County Commis
•sliier, although the Democrats swept
the county. Tlici only offices carried by
the Republicans was Commissionerand
County Treasurer—tlie latter by 15 votes.
Mr. Myers was the highest candidate on
the Republican ticket, beating his oppo
nent 78 votes, while the Democratic
majority ranged from 50 to 60..
• Messrs. JOSEPH BAILEY : and J.
WATSON BARR, the nominees for Com
missioner and Director of the Poor, are
both successful farmers, of rare intelli
gence and highlutegrity, against neith
er of whom can aught be said, and
whose pre-eminent fitness for the trusts
which it is proposed to confide to them
must be acknowledged by friend and
foe. If elected, the people of thecounty ,
can rest assured that neither extrava
gance or mismanagement will be toler
ated in either of the County Boards.
. The same may be said of Messrs.
JOHN D. BECKER and G. W. LOTT,
the nominees for Jury Commissioner
and Auditor. Both possess enviable
reputations for integrity, intelligence
and courtesy. Mr. Becker has a large
acqnaintance in the county, which will
aid him in making judicious selections
of Jurors. Mr. Lott is a good account
ant, well qualified to bringin careful re
view the complex accounts incident to
the administration of county affairs.
The Resolutions adopted by the• Co
nvention have the true ring, and eompare
favorably with, the non-comittal, anti
deluvin platform of the 'opposition.
stead of igoring, they manfully meet the
issues of the day. The administration
of President Grant'and Gov. Geary are
cordially endorsed—the Congressional
policy of Re-construction is approved,
and the 15th Constitutional Amend
, ment affirmed as a final settlement of a
long continued and dangerous agita
tion. While the Democratic Convention
was profoufidly and ominously silent
op the subject of the greqt nine millions
swindle of the last Legislature, and had
not a word to say in denunciation of the
votes of our Representatives in favor of
the swindle, the Republicans of the
county put them squarely on the record•
-denounce the attempted outrage of
last winter, and pledge our nominee, if
elected, sternly to resist that and all
other schemes tending to impair , the in
tegrity of the Sinking Fund or work a
perversion of the State funds. •
With such a ticket and such a plat.
form, the Republicans of Adams county
can go confidently before the people, and
ought to command success,
ALTHOUGH the Republican County
Convention gave. ib formal expression
on the Congressional question, the Con
ferees appoiVed are understood to be
favorable to Mr. CESSNA. • His re7no
ndnation.is conceded all arowid. Each
county in the district has . either formal
ly declared for him or appointed Con
ferees favorable to his nomination. A
formal meeting M the Conferees is there
fore hardly necessary. The representa
tives of the several 'counties could unite
in a written declaration of his unanim
' Nf,11113 nomination as the candidate of the
Republican party. We accordingly sug
gest plan. We have purposely re
frained from any agitation of the mat
ter, until thecounty Convention should
take action. Now that the question is
practically settled,'we feel free to enter
into an earnest and cordial advocacy of
Mr. CE&SNA'S re-election. We are well
aware that our opponents have calculat
ed largely on supposed disaffection in
the Republican ranks, growing 'out of
disappointments in the distribution of
Post-office and Internal Revenue tip
ointments, most of which were neces
sarily controlled by Mr. Cass as the
representative of this district. He had
to make his selections among numerous
deserving applicants. We have no ques
tion that in all these appointments Mr.
Cassma was prompted by the very best
of motives and by a desire to promote
the interests of the Republican party,
That there should be disappointments
and in some cage tenVorary disaffection,
was to be expected in any contingency,
where all could not be acconimodated.
But we feel equally well assured that
our political opponents utterly misjudge
the integrity of the Republican party
acid .the devotion of its adherents to the
great principles which have guided. its
policy, if they calculate on receiving the
least aid.and comfort onthig score.
Mr. Cassra is a pronounced Repub
lican, and thoroughly devoted to the
Republican cause. His career in Con
gress has not only moat signally attest
ed his fidelity, but the proninenee given
him on Committees and the leadingposi
tion occupied by him in the debates .car
the floor of the House, are a- marked
concession to his abilities and useful
ness. Few, if any, members of Con
gress have so promptly moved to the
front rank and achieved a p6sition of
leadership in the first term. This Mr.
CESSNA has done. The • past is but a
sure promise of the future,
the Democratic party proved
. to its trust, bankrupted the Go v,
ernment, and became an ally of Treason
and Rebellion, •Mr. Crasore withdrew
from it, and gave hie .suppoit to the
party of freedom. It is because of this
Pariahs step and his fearless advocacy
of Bepu)jscan principles that the Cop
perhead press uow so persistently hounds
him. There is no man whose defeat
would early into the enemy's camp more
seal joy. No tree Republican can af.'
ford thus to gratify a party t w,hich today
arraigns the ientire plljetiof . the Re-
publican party, fiercely denounces the
men who saved the Republic from over
throw, and would, if successful in
winning the control of the Government,
remand the country to Rebel domina
tion.
We feel perfectly Wein pledging for
Mr. CaNINA the full and earnest alp

These votes give clear indications that,
should the Democracy get power, they
will undertake to tamper with our cur
rency, and begin by overturning the
National Banks. Were there no other
reason, it is enough for them, that these
Banks were not invented by the Democ
racy, and were the right-arm of the Na
tion during the struggle with the Rebel
lion.
Should Mr. Mc.Sail - my, or Mr. MC
LELLAN be the candidate of the De
mocracy in this district, the interests of
the one as a National Bank Director and
of the other as a National Bank Presi
dent—and of both as stockholders—
would prove an embarrassment in the
way of their joining in this pre-deter
nlined crusade, but the party lash would
no doubt soon bring them up to the
mark.
It is certain, that persons who have
interests in these Banks, have reason to
be somewhat apprehensive of hostile
legislation, at the hands of their enemies
if placed in Power, and they would do
well to see where the path of safety is.
THE Democratic Conferees of Adams

of the idea of nominating Mr. Mc-
Sherry, they repaired, as fast as steam
and rail could carry them, to Bloody
Run, Bedford county, on Thursday of
last week, the time and place fixed for
the Conference. Reachingßloodyßun,
they found they had come on a fool's
errand. No conferees were there. ,It
turned out that the day had been changed
by the other counties, and that without
'consulting or even notifying the Adams
county men. Messrs. White, Myers and
Shorb accordingly returned home, their
enthusiasm somewhat abated. 'Evident

Mr. Lott was ultanitnously nommateit.
The 'nominations of Messrs. Myers,
Bailey, Barr and Becker were also made
unanimous.
A. J. Cover, Esq., from the Committee
on Resolutions, reported the following,
which were mi.iiimously adopted:
Resolved, by the Republicans of Adams
County, That the administration of Presi
dent Grant is redeeming all its promises,
and by its rigid enforcement of law, by its
honest Collection and disbursement of the
revenue,-by its payment of the National
debt at the rate of over One Hundred and
Fifty Millions of 'Dollars a year, and by
the rapid reduction of Taxation, has vin
dicated the wisdom of the people in the
election of 1868.
Resolved, That the Republican members
'of the 41st Congress deserve the cordial
thanks and gratitude of the country for
their steady and manly support of the
principles and policy essential to complete
the work of Re -construction inaugurated
by their predecessors, and to secure the
fruits of the War for a suppression of the
Slaveholder's Rebellion.
Resolved, That the administration of
Gov. Geary is richly entitled to approval;
and specially do we commend his cour
ageous veto of the bill known as the "nine
million steal."
• Resolved, That we condemn unqualified
ly the votes of Senator Duncan and As
semblymen Dill in sustaining this corrupt
and infamous ifteasure; and we instruct our
Candidate for Amembly, if elected, to vote
against that or any other bill which pro-
poses to divert the bonds owned by the
Commonwealth from the Sinking Fund,
or to apply them to any other than the
purpose of paying the State debt, for
which the sinking fund was devised.
Resolved, That the equal suffrage provid
ed by the Fifteenth Amendment was nec-
essary to prevent Rebel domination in the
Southern States; simply restores the prac
tice of the Government in its earliest
periods; is just in itself; and should be
acquisoed in by every good citizen, since
it has finally closed the most distracting
and dangerous question ever presented to
the American people.
Resolved, That while the Democracy, in
portions of > orthern States, are re
fusing thus WaNuesce in what is a prac
tically irrepealable adjustment, of this
question, and are seeking to continue the
further agitation of the Negro Question,
it is well remember that the Democracy
of the Southern States are "accepting the
situation," are courting the Colored vote,
are receiving, in some States, large por
tions of it, and are pledging themselves to
sustain the colored man, in all his rights—
this spectacle of a "divided house" being
an apt illustration of the mockery of
Democratic professions, faithlessness of
Democratic policy, and the untrust-worthi
ness of Democratic 'politicians.
.Resolved, Tlhtt the Border damage
Claims arejustly due from the State; are
besides a debt of honor which &areas
State ought not refuse to pay, and that to
all honorable means to pass such a bill we
pledge the support of our voice and vote.
Resolved, That the rapid increase of the
debt of the Counts, long denied but now
admitted, and thehnormous increase of the
County Taxes, call loudly for such a ver
dict at the polls; as will break up the in
competent and extravagant Ring of poli
ticians who aryl responsible for these gross

PRUSSIANS MARCHING ON PARIS
NEGOTIATIONIV FOR PEACE
There have • been a daily stteceision of
heavy battles since Sunday between Metz
and Chalons, between the French and
Prussians. McMahon having been utter
• ly defeated and his corps crushed by the
Crown Prince commanding the Prussian
left, at Woerth and Hagnenau, retreated
through Luneville, Nancy, Commercy, and
thane tcr Chalons, closely pursued by the
Crown Prince. The advance cavalry of
the latter appeared as early as Sunday 14th
at Blesme, 28 miles east of Chalons. On
the same day Prince Charles Frederick
and Gen. Steinmetz commanding the Prus
sian right and centre, appeared in frOnt of
Metz, 'and gave battle to Generals Bazaine
and Frozzard, driving the French under
the walls of the fortress. On Sattirday
night Bazaine evacuated Metz and songht
to form a junction with McMahon at Cha
lons, by the road leading through Verdun,
but encountered the Prussians who had
crossed the Moselle 'betwenn Metz and
Nancy and endeavored to seize the road
from Metz to Verdun, by which Bazaine
wished to retreat. On this iroad a succes
sion-of battles occurred on Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday--
Bazaine making desperate efforts to fight
his way through, and Prince Frederick
Charles being evidently determined to
crush Bazaine by a succession of heavy
blows and to defeat at all hazards his I
junction with Chalons. The Battle of
Monday was under the western walls of I
Metz; that of Tuesday was at Gravelotte,
fdur miles west of Metz; that on the 17th
inst., was at Mars La Tour, six miles
from Metz, while of the 18th that took place
at Rezonsville, near Gravelotte. King Wil
liam commanded in person at the latter
battle, which was a desperate struggle of
nine hours, and on Thusday night tele
graphed that the French were utterly
routed, Bazaine being driven back into
Metz, and the road to Verdun being in the
possession of the Prussians. The slaugh
ter has been heavy on both shies. On
Friday the Crown Prince again engaged
McMahon:in the vicinity of Ban• de Luc,
east of Chalons, and again totally defeated
him
If o'cLocx, r.
MoNDAy, Aug. 22.—Since Sunday, 14th
inst., there have been daily ccittlicts, the
liosSessiou of the field of battle often chan
ging, but the general advantage in each
resting with the Prussians . The battles
have been fought on a line thirty miles in
length, extending from Gravellotte, ten
miles n hwest of Metz, to the neighbor
hood Due, in a rieuthwesterly di
rectio The battles in the vicinity of Bar
le Due ve been fought by the Crown
Prince against the corps of McMahon and
Failly, with whatever reinforcements they
may have received on their hurried retreat
from llagenau, and those around and to
the westward of Metz by the centre apd
right of the army, commanded by Von
Steinmetz and Prince Frederick Charles,
against the main body of the French army
under Bazaine. McMahon's command ap
pears to be utterly disorganized, one Paris
despatch reporting that a portion of it has
taken refuge in the Vosges mountains,
through which it had already passed ou the
retreat. At all events it has been cut off
by the Crown Prince fromejoining the main
army, while the latter has been foreWl into
Metz. The battles of the week cuhninated
in a tremendous contest near the little vil-
lages of Rezonville and Gravellotte ten
mines west of Metz on the road -towards
Verdun, on Thursday, the 18th, and very
probably also on Friday. King William
sends a despatch concerning this, battle.
in which he states that the combat lastkd
for nine hOurs, and that the French were
totally routed and thrown back on Metz.
By French sources we have actually no
account of this battle, except that Count
Palikao has made in the Corps Legislatif
an indefinite statement that the Prussians
were not victorious on Friday. lie admits,
however, that they were successful at Bar
de-Luc, which was one of the battles before
referred to as havihg been fought by the
Crown Prince to the southwestward of
Metz. Other deatatches say that the
Prussians have possession of the for-
tress of Verdun. On Saturday afternoon,
however, the people of Paris became ap
prised of the defeat of the French army,
and an immense excitement was aroused.
They refused to 'tiny longer believe the
statements of the Ministers regarding field
opertions, and Revolutionary and Orleanist
demonstrations were openly made on the
Boulevards. Paris despatches now place
the apv:urce of the Prussians as far west
as Vitry, less than ten miles from Chalon.
The deduction, in short, to be drawn
from our present information is that a por.
thou of the PrUssian army will remain to
imprison Bazaine inside:the walls of Me tz,
and that another column is ptilhing direct
towards Paris, probably by way of Chal
lons, perhaps to the southward of it. Gen-
ral Trochu publishes a proclamation to
the people of Paris which tells them indi
redly they must be prepared fora siege of
the city. The magnificent woods of Bou
logne haie been cut down to clear the field

could only have been done in an emergen-
We have nothing of Napoleon's move
ments except he is now at Chalons, unno
ticed and unthought of. Of the royal
personage there are a quantity of contra.
dictory despatches, out of which it is
useless to attempt to eliminate the truth.
Statements from London positively assert
that the English Government has offered
its service as a mediator of peace, the
Queen having written an autograph letter
to King Willem, The deposition of Na'

Lorraii to Prussia are regarded favora
bly in Austria will also unite
in an attelipt - to save Paris. The intelli
gence regarding the Empress Eugenie
shows that she has giving up all hope ? and
is ready to fly from Paris. The important
fortress of Pfalabourg, in the Vosges
Mountains, has been surrendered to the
Wurtemburg army. The garrisson at
Strasbourg has been summoned to surren
der, and the. Prussian lines 'are closing in
around it on all aides. There are also
evidences of the advaqoe of a south Gen
man army in the vicinity of Mulhouse.

COI 4 iTRADICTORY DESPATCHKA
WEDNESDAY, Ave. 4 2.—The reports
from the field of operations are very con
tradictory. Yesterday's London despatches
represent that Bazaine huts moved. out of
Metz to the north, by way of Thionville,
to Montmedy, where he was joined by Mc-'
Mahon, who, in order to form a junction
with Bazaine, luul moved from Chalons
around Verdun to the Northwest. Mont
medy is about 25 miles north of Verdun
and about 110 miles from Metz. The game
despatches represent that the Crown
Prince, in consequence of this raw French
move, has discontinued his marcli on Paris
and moved northward to the support of
the Prince Frederick Charles and Gon.
Steinmetz.
On the other hand, Paris despatches say
that Bazaine was still at Meta closely in
vested by Prince Frederick Charles and
Gen. Steinmetz—that the Crown Prince's
headquarters were at Bar-de-lue, south
east of Chalons, and that McMahon was
retreating on Paris. A heavy rain fell,
during Monday night, which will probably
interfere with the movements of the armies.
The general headquarters of the French
army on Sunday night were near Rheims,
tienty miles southwest of Moutmedy.—
Several statements in Paris papers of yes
terday show that fear and respect of the
Emperor have alike ceased to , exist. Le
Tempe says that no victory can be won
until the Emperor and Prince Imperial are
banished from the army, and the cor
respondent of Le .'!lieele writes that at
headquarters of the army the deepest de
pression prevails and the Emperor receives
nobody.
THE ' IfATEST.—NO YCHTHER FRUITING.
THURSDAY, AUG. 21—Despatches from
London say that there has been no re
moval of fighting, both sides being oc
cupied with the burial of the dead, the
removal of the wounaed and reorganizing.
Basaltic was still at Metz, the Prussians
holding the road to Verdun. McMahon
had broken camp at Chalons, and moved
to Reims, north-east of Verdun, evidently
seeking to communicate with Bazaine.—
It was rumored that either a portion of
Bazaine's * foree at Metz or detachments
cut oft in the recent battles,. (most likely
the latter,) were moving along the Belgian
frontier towards Reims. Everything in
dicates that the next battles will bike
place in the Northern part of France.
NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL LIFE IN

cumulated Assets Jan. Ist 1870, $8,430,000.
This Company has a History. being the
oldest Mutual life Insurance Company in
the country, and is purely mutual.
Its Officers have ever been men of high
standing and conservative policy; twenty
seven years experience has shown theft.
managemeut to be both honorable and
successful.
The low ratio of expenditures to re
ceipts, averaging only a fraction over nine
per cent. and the slight variation. , in this
ratio, from yeat to year, as shown by the
reports of the Company, is a guaranty that
their business is conducted systematically
and with strictest economy. The stability
of the Company, offering as it does abso
lute security to ,policy-holders, as shown
by the fact of its constantly increasing
accumulation of surplus, is a consideration
which must have weight with cautions and
far seeing men.
The.promptness with which the Com
pany has always paid its losses, leaves no
uncertainty as to its ability and disppsi
tion to act with equal promptness in the
settlement of like claims in the future
Distribution of surplus will be made
annually by this company, and will be
available one year from t h e date of the
policy in the payment of the NI annua
premium and so on thereafter
All its policies are nonforfeitable, made
so by stringent enactments of the Legiila-
ture of the State of Massachusetts
Among its losses for 1869, several policies
were paid under the operation of the
famous "Massachusetts Law." The
holders of these policies hadtailed to keep
up their premiums, and the I, :
