The Huntingdon Journal. J. R. DURBORROW, HUNTINGDON, PENN'A. Wednesday Morning, Nov. 16, 1871 THE JOURNAL FOR 1872! A Rare Chance to Secure the Leading Literature of the Day! CHEAPNESS COMBINED WITH SUBSTIPMALITY ! Every head of a family, in the country, should subscribe and pay for his county paper. He that attempts to raise a family without giving it the advantage of a newspaper, in this en lightened and christian age, is criminally neg ligent.. We think that every man, without exception, raising a family, should spend from FIVE dollars to TWENTY-FIVE dollars a year, according to his means, for this kind of edu cation, and we hope to live to see the day when there will not be an exception to this rule in Huntingdon county. We want every body in the county to take the JOURNAL, we don't care what party you belong to—Republican, Democrat or Temper ance man. If you are a Republican, we are with you heart and soul; if a Democrat, you ought to know what we have to say about you, so that you can act and vote intelligently, and if you are a temperance man, we assure you that no one will administer severer blows upon the whiskey business than the JOURNAL Will, and if the whiskey men don't like it, why let them do as they do with whiskey that is distasteful, take the less of it. We believe newspapers, like preachers and school teach ers, should be on the side of morality and good order. But the JOURNAL will uphold only that which we, in our humble judgment, think to be right, regardless of consequences. The development of the county, in every re spect, will be its constant and undeviating aim, and in this respect it will be to every man's interest to subscribe for it. We want to build up Manufactures, Mechanics and the Arts on every hand, and by subscribing for the JOUR NAL you assist and encourage us in our design. The next year will be an eventful one; a President, Vice President, Governor aed Con gress arc to be elected and a Constitutional Con vention will be selected to remodel the Con stitution of the State. We have outgrown the old one, and if you want to keep posted you must have the papers. Take the JOURNAL first, and if you won't take it, in the name of intel ligence, take some other one, but don't be without the news. For the purpose of distributing good Litera ture, in connection with the Joutssx,, which we think good enough of itself, we hare ar ranged to furnish the following-named leading periodicals, jointly for the remarkably low price stated below Phrenological Journal and Life Illnstratod. 300 Appleton'.

Address, J. IL DUB.BORROIV k CO., Huntingdon, Penn's, A RARE CHANCE. If any young lady or gentleman will secure us six new each subscribers, to the JOURNAL, and this can be done in any neighborhood in a few hours, we will agree to make the person doing so a present of . one year's subscription to any one of the FOUR DOLLAR Magazines. Here is a chance seldom offered. The Atlantic, or Harper, or Scribner, or Galaxy, or any other of the leading FOUR dollar publications, for one year, for a few minutes labor ! This is a chance for school teachers. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN- TION A Constitutional Convention, for the revision of the Constitution of the State, having been determined upon, by a large majority of the voters of Pennsylvania, the Legislature, at its approaching session, in January, will be called upon to make provision for the cicction of Delegates, and to fix the time for the meeting thereof.— These duties will require considerable nice discrimination. It would be well, then, for onr legislators to weigh the subject, thoroughly, before acting. The approaching season is likely to be one of more than usual political excite mmt. A President, Vice President, Gov ernor and a Congress are to be elected, and while there is very little show for our Democratic friends, at this ame, they may resort to some political diplomacy that may make it uncomfortably warm for us. We have an idea of something of the kind.— Under such circumstances, we think, and in this opinion we are not alone, that it would be well to postpone the Convention until after the Presidential campaign. In fact the Presidential election would be the best time for the holding of the election for Delegates. A larger vote will be poll ed then than at any other time, and better men will be selected. We are decidedly in favor of this suggestion. The next question to be settled, is, the number of Delegates to be elected. We would suggest that the Convention should not consist of less than two hundred and thirty-three delegates, and they might be selected by taking two from each Represen tative district and one from each Senatori al. This would be the simplest method, and would make the Convention of suffi cient numbers. We hope that wise coun sels will prevail, and that the best and most experienced men in the State will be selected. Hoe. George Tiylor died this (Tuesday) morning between nine and ten o'clock. We stop the press to make this announcement. Roptiii ! Grand Victory all Along the Line! NEW YORK TO THE FRONT ! EDITOR DEMOCRACY "GONE WHERE THE WOODBINE TIWNETH !" Ten States voted on the Pith inst., and the result has been one of the most deci sive victories ever gained by the Republi can party, and henceforth the question of Grant's re-election is settled. New York has gone Republican by about 18,000 ma jority, electing 24 out of the 32 Senators, and a majority of the Assembly, (besides the State officials under the Governor), which secures a United States Senator.— New Jersey, owing to disaffection in sev eral counties, has elected Parker (Dem.,) for Governor by a majority a little in ex cess of 5,000. Both branches of the legis lature are Republican, thus securing a Republican United States Senator. Wis consin elects the whole Republican ticket by increased majorities. Illinois also gives an increased Republican majority. Mas sachusetts, the "Old Bay State," ever faithful, elects Washburn, Republican, by a heavy majority. Minnesota, Arkansas and Mississippi, have also gone Republican by fair majorities. Virginia and Mary land, wedded to their "idols," have gone Democratic, although in the latter State our Republican friends have done nobly, making heavy inroads upon the Democracy, carrying a number of the counties, and electing a respectable delegation to the Legislature. The "New Departure" seems to have done- the work most effectually, and we thank our Democratic friends for its adoption. STEEL RAILS The manufacture of steel rails, or steel faced rails, in the United States is of very recent origin. The iron rail is fast going out of use. Our first steel rails were brought from England, and that country having the monopoly of our markets we were compelled to pay, in 1862, the exor bitant price of $2OO per ton for steel rails. Parties in this country. soon afterwards, commenced to manufacture steel rails un der the Bessemer patents, for which a roy alty was paid to the English patentee. We have now nine steel rail manufactories iu the United States, and the price of the American product, in every respect equal to English rails, has been brought down to $lO4l per ' ton for large contracts, and $llO to $ll5 for small lots. This is done under a protective tariff of one cent per pound. Revenue Reformers and Free Traders contend that the protective tariff enhances prices. But here we have a re duction from $2OO down to $lOO, as the direct result of protection. Without a duty to protect the new enterprise, capitalists would not have attempted the manufacture of steel rails in the United States. Under protection they have succeeded, not only in establishing steel rail works, but also in reducing the cost of imported steel rails one hundred per cent. Our manufacturers now produce nearly 100,000 tons of rails p.r culposo, or will do no . during, the nre, sent year. They now control the Ameri can markets. In consequence of this, English manufacturers are compelled to pay the duties imposed an rails sent to this country, and sell at the market prices estab lished by one manufacturers, So much for judicious protection. The steel rail works now in operation in the United States are distributed over the country as follows : One each at Harris burg, Bethlehem and Johnstown, Pa ; two in Chicago, (not injured by the great fire); and one each at Detroit, Mich.; Troy, N. Y.; Cleveland, Ohio ; and Joliet, 111. It is estimated - that the product of these works in 1872, if the protective tariff is continued, will amount to about 150,000 tons. 12F1 Even at the great reduction in the price of steel rails England continues to manu facture more steel rails for the United States than the entire consumption of Great Britain. Her export to this country is larger than her export to all the world besides. During the year ending June 30, 1870, England sent us rails to the value of over nine million dollars, and during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1871, to the value of over seventeen million dollars. Here is an active and a healthy competi tion, the effects of which will be to bring the price of steel rails down to $75 per ton, and ultimately to the former price of iron rails. This is the result of protection to home industries. COL. THOS. A. SCOTT FOR PRE- SIDENT. The Pittsburgh Post is wild in its en thusiasm for the nomination of Col. Thos. A. Scott, by the Democratic party, for the Presidency. It can scarcely contain itself Does it know that Col. Scott would be the easiest beaten of any man named ? If it does not, it ought to know it. Mr. Scott has the reputation of being the head and shoulders of the Pennsylvania Railroad.— He is responsible for the great monopoly which reaches the pockets of almost every business man from Now York to Louisiana and California. In him and over him the people could strike the monopoly. The canvass would present the singular specta cle of the people against the monopoly, and in such a contest there could be no ques tion in regard to the result. The very idea of the monopoly getting possession of the Government of the United States, would raise such a storm of indignation as would bury, both it and its candidate, so far beneath a mountain of public disapproba tion that the monopoly, at least,would never be able to recover from the shock. We see the dilemm a. of the Democracy, and appreciate their efforts to secure an available candidate, and while we ad-aire the master spirit of the Pennsylvania Rail road, and like to see true merit rewarded, yet we are satisfied that were the person, who has the credit of being the head of that monopoly, to run for the first place in the gift of the American people, it would result in a combination of the masses and , other railroad interests that would bring about such a defeat as was never before experienced in this country, sear J. W. Speddy, Esq,, of the Mi®in• town Independent, visited us on Monday. He is a very clever gentleman. Call again. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER, WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6, 1871 The improvements in the Capitol, made during the summer and autumn, are near_ ly completed. The main passages between the Hall of the House of Representatives and the Senate Chamber, have been widen ed, so that three or four persons can now walk abreast through all the main passage ways. The painters and white-washers are renovating from basement to dome; and upholsterers and cabinet-makers are laying carpets and fitting the desks to their pla ces in the Senate Chamber and Hall of the House. A number of Senators and Members of the House have already arrived in the city, and are looking up winter quarters. The persistent and energetic labors of Senator Scott, in his Ku Klux investiga tions and recommendations, are already producing fruit. The President's procla mations, bearing upon this question, are strictly in accordance with Senator Scott's views and in compliance with his sugges tions. Already the effects have been of a most salutary nature. In South Carolina especially, the Ku Klux are coming in and surrendering by the hundred, terror-strict en, and sueing for mercy. Many are very unwisely leaving the country. The Chair man of the Ku Klux Committee has been in the city and last week was in consulta tion with the Chief Magistrate and his Cabinet. There is a determination, inspi red largely through the zeal of the Chair man of the Committee, to follow up this thing until honest men shall no longer live in fear of annoyance from this source in any portion of the Southern country. The stories of the Democracy that Mr. Bontwell's 5 per cent. loan has proved a failure in Europe is without a word of truth. The bonds are sent over in lots every two weeks, or as fast as they can be prepared. Judge Richardeon, Assistant Secretary of the U. S. Treasury, writes from London, Oct. 21, that the members of the Syndicate are doing everything in exact .accordance with their agreement, and early in December the transaetion will be brought to a close in strict accordance with the original negotiation, "without dis turbing the money market or the regular business of any banking house in the least." Delegate Hooper, of Utah, has arrived in Washington; but says he is not official ly empowered by Brigham Young or the Church to act in the matter of Polygamy. lie has not fully expressed his own views in the matter, evidently aware of the deli cacy of his position and unwilling to com mit himself. He will probably give his views to the Executive in a few days. The question will be brought up in Congress at an early day. If persecution and pro secution is to be the poiley,.the Mormons will probably move away from the country, destroying their city as they pass out. The question is beset with difficulties. Mr. Hooper is of opinion that the Church will not yield the prudes of polygamy " f ar as to separate from their "wives" ; bgt thinks that many of its members will be willing to yield so far as to abandon the practice in the future. On the whole (inn. Paa will rolighl onnai or it h - to seek a reconciliation, by mild measures; and pass a law that will prevent an exten sion of the evil, and cause the "social er ror" to die out. 11, The Movement to Nominate Hon. John Scott for Vice President. The following is taken front "Invisible's" last letter to the Blair County Radicall The movement to bring out Senator Scott for the Vice Presidency, is in dead earnest, and has already become quite for midable. Senator Scott, since he maw ed the United States Senate, has won the good opinion of the people more than any man of his day. His acknowledged ability, unquestioned integrity and conscientious discharge of public duty, have placed him in the front rank of our wisest and best statesmen, and given him a plaPe in the af fections of the masses seldom attained short of a life-time of faithful publieservice, and beside, he is what the politicians call "available." His earnest, devoted, effec tive labor—amounting literally to a sacri fice—in behalf of the hunted-down loyal ists in the South, has made him the favorite of the klonthren Unioniste, anci his freedom from connection with either the Cameron, Curtin or Geary wings in our own State and esteem in which he is held by each. point to him as the strongest candidate Pennsylvania can possibly present. It is high time that Pennsylvania should put in a claim for recognition upon the National ticket, and with Senator Scott to offer, I feel certain we will have little difficulty in making our claim good.

The Locomotive Engineers There are now among us the representa tives of one of the most powerful organiza tions on the continent. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is an organization which never fails to command respect and admiration wherever the iron horse has penetrated, and we have good reason to be proud that our city is now the scene of its annual session. This Brotherhood was not created to farther any political, reli gious or sectarian views; it recognizes no caste, it seeks no selfish ends, it strives for no unjust impose, it is banded against no one class, but its pole object—and a right noble one it is —is the furtherance of the interests 0f locomotive engineers, the ele vation of their standing es mechanics and men, and the protection of them and their families in case of sickness or death, Post nosing so rightece a charter, we cannot wonder that this Brothnrhood bas thriven with wonderful rapidity, and that it now embraces in its ranks no less than 0000 locomotive engineers. A glance at the list of delegates at once ahpws the cosmopolitan character of this great and powerful insti tution. One hundred and thirty six di visions of the Brotherhood are spread over the face of the North Aieerican continent; five of these are located in the Dominion and the remainder rattered between 11aige and the Pacific, the St. Lawrence and the Gulf of Mexico The good work done by the Brotherhood is known only to those connected with it. The out side world has little opportunity of comprehending the substantial comfort extended to the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in the discharge of a perilous duty or died quietly in the ordinary course of humanity. We can peruse the tabular statements presented at the annual session and coin. pute the commercial value of the charities; but only to the engineers themselves, and in the volume of the Recording Angel, is known the inestimable blessings of Phe humane and generous principles on which this gigantic body of mechanics have taken their stand. The reports published else where convey some idea of the magnitude of the work done. On the Ist inst. nearly $15,000 stood at the credit of the Widows' and orphans' Fund ready to be applied to the first case of necessity, and a grand total of $25,570 attested the prudent manage ment and the wide interest taken in the affairs of the Society. Attached to the Brotherhood is the Locomotive Engineers Mutual Life Insurance Association, organ ized expressly for the benefit of the fami lies of deceased and disabled members. The principle of the Life Association is simply the payment of one dollar by every member of the Brotherhood on the death of a fellow. On the Ist of July last the Life Association had been in existence three and-a-half years, and during that period 86 deaths, had occurred, and'BB as sessments had been made. Fifty of these deaths resulted from diseases seven from boiler explosions, four from breaking through of bridges, and eighteen from other accidents, showing that no less. than 76 per cent. of the deaths were brought about by violent means. From these 88 as sessments $196.358 flowed into the common fund and were distributed among sufferers. While exercising faithfully this vaatpower for good, the Brotherhood has dope nothing by Word or deed to forfeit the good opinion of the ouLide public. When they had grievances to redress, the engineers went to work soberly and respectfully, they made no threats, resorted to nothing that could be construed into arrogance or intolerance, and by so doing they have invariably car ried their point and increased the respect according to their Brotherhood by all class es of society. Their motto "Do unto oth ers as we would that others should do unto us, and so fulfil the law," has been rigor ously adhered to, and the result is apparent to-day in the numerous and inteligent gathering now lh session in the Music Hall, and in the kindly feeling manifested to the Broherhood through mt the continent.-- Daily Toronto (Canada) Telegraph. THE KLU KLUX ON THE RETREAT Dispatch from Washington, under date of November 6th says : Senator Scott has received a letter, dated Yorkville, South Carolina, October 27,, from a prominent gentlemen now tempo rarily iu that vicinity, in which it is stated that Avery, Tomlinson and Britton, who it was proved were members of the Kukluk organization, together with twenty or thir ty other men, have ignominiously fled, even before a finger was raised and the the warning proclamation issued. The evidence is orppwhelming, and up to this period is a complete confirmation of the facts as to parties concerned in a large number of whippings and in the hang ing of Williams, in which Bratton was the leader and Avery accessory before the fact ; the murder of Anderem Brown, in which Tomlinson was concerned; the murder of Lett and the murder of Roundtree ; and astonishing as it may seem, even the details and facts of five murders which the writer, with all his knowledge of the outrages by mitted. "We have'in jail," he says,"some thirty men who have been concerned in the various murders, most of them having wade a clean breist of all they know about it, and showed that they were ()outwitted by orckr of the Grand Chief, Avery. "The better people now arc beginning to say they are profoundly grateful for having been freed from the horrible tyran ny to which the atrocious conspiracy had subjected them. your action and that of the President is completely vindicated ky the facts now shown to be overwhelmingly complete in proof," -% 1, artingefi.

He ? together With the late Judge 31017nm:us, •eresented Huntingdon county in the Legislature, a If arrleburg, in the Session of 1842 and 1843. He died in the same house in which he was born, ind in which he had resided nearly all his life. He was the youngest son and last surviving child of Alexander Blair, dee'd, one or the earliest settlers in that part of Huntingdon county. He bore, and transmitted, without a blemish, the ancestral name of Brico Blair, one of the nineteen Scottish chiefs, compatriots of William Wallace, who were treacherondly put to 4eatl4 in tile parns of Ayr, on the 18th of June, 12Q7, by oiler of the merciless Amyr de Valence.
