cal. •
1 The Labor Reformers, numbering
about fifty delegates, met in Convention at
Williamsport, on Tuesday of last week,
and proceeded to nominate a Labor Reform
State ticket, as follows, viz : Governor,
Hon. Wm. P. Schell. of Bedford county ;
Auditor General. Hoo. Esaias Billingfelt,
of Lancaster ; Judge of the Supreme Court,
Chief Justice James P. Thompson, of Phil
adelphia; and for Congressmen at large,
J. W. Cake of Northumberland, and J.
H. Hopkins of Allegheny.
These gentlemen are all well known to
the people of the State. Hon. Wm. P.
Schell has been a prominent Democrat for
many years. He served two terms in the
Lower House, one session of which he was
elected speaker, and one term in the Sen
ate. He is an excellent man and the Dem
ocrats will do well to second his nomina
tion at Reading on the 30th inst. We
expect Mr. Billingfelt to decline the honor
extended to him, especially when he takes
into consideration the Democratic compa
ny in which he has been placed. Chief
Justice Thompson, the Pennsylvania Rail
road's man, expects to get the nomination
at Reading. He has been on the bench
quite long enough for the people, if not
for the railroad company. The Conven
tion was run in the interest of the Demo
cratic party, and consequently its nomina
tions amount to nothing if they are not
ratified at Reading.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. I
That letter written by Charles Francis!
Adams, in reference to the Cincinnati
nomination, has decided the result of the
presidential campaign of 1872. If David
A. Wells had possessed judgment enough
to have let Mr. Adams depart on his im
portant mission to Geneva without being
interrogated, he would undoubtedly have
received the nomination fur the Presidency
by the Convention at Cincinnati. This
would have given the Democratic party a
man upon whom they could have united
without a dissenting voice. He would
have been a strong man, and one upon
whom the Liberals and the Democrats, in
their eagerness for victory, would have
become a unit. But Mr. Adams was not
in sympathy with the motives which gov
erned the leaders in the Liberal movement,
and very plainly advised his interrogator,
Mr. Wells, to "draw out of that crowd."
The wire-pullers in the Convention saw
the "scowl upon the lip" and reluctantly
withdrew their support of Mr. Adams in
favor of Horace Greeley, thus changing
the final result in November from a possi
bility of success, into a certainty of failure.
After the surprise that seized all par
ties in politics at Greeley's nomination had
subsided, a very general feeling was mani
fested in the Democratic ranks, to take up
the Cincinnati nominee as the Democratic
candidate. The leading Democratic paper
in New York and in Washington wrote up
Mr. Greeley's excellent virtues and por
trayed his fitness to represent not only the
Liberals but also the great Democracy in
the presidential campaign. The rebel
Democracy of the South were almost a
unit in his favor, and even August Bel
mont, Chairman of the National Democrat
ic Committee, when interviewed by Ben
Wood, expressed himself as being favora
bly inclined toward Mr. Greeley.
While the indications were increasing
that the Cincinnati nominee would be the
choice of the Democracy, the time came
round (Monday of last week) for the meet
ing of the National Democratic Committee.
The meeting took place in Mr. Belmont's
parlors in New York, and although the
deliberations of those present as to the
propriety of uniting with the Liberals have
been withheld from the public, a sudden
change has taken place in the tone of the
Democratic press toward Mr. Greeley. He
is in fact repudiated with an emphasis that
cannot be mistaken. The Democratic
Convention will meet at Baltimore on the
9th of July and a candidate will be select
ed from their own ranks, without any re
ference to Greeley and the Liberal Repub
lican movement.
EDITOR
So the nominations at Cincinnati, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore will each give us
a presidential candidate. The Democrats
base their chances of success upon the
Cincinnati movement, which they say will
divide the Republican party and enable
them to march triumphantly into the
White House and Departments, and as
sume control of the Government of the
nation. But those who live until after
the Philadelphia and Baltimore nomina
tions have been made, will see the appa
rent support extended to the Greeley fac
tion melt away under the decision of an
intelligent public. The scheme was con
ceived in sin and begotten in iniquity, and
it will go down with the finger of scorn
pointed at it, and the warning voice to
"draw out of that crowd" raised against it
by every honest voter from Maine to Or
egon. Not all the sugar coated oratory of
Schurz, the sophistry of Gratz Brown and
his free traders, nor the pleadings of that
deluded old man Greeley, will induce the
people to believe that a change is needed
in the Administration. President Grant
and his Cabinet have been a wonderful
success, at whin all the other great pow
ers stand amazed and express their sur
prise. And having done well in the past,
the public will express their approval
through the ballot boxes at the elections
in November next.
The Democrats will make a strenuous
effort, but their day, like that of the fed
erals, and later of the whigs, has passed
away. They are without a single issue.
All the old ones have died out, and no new
ones have been incorporated into their
creed. They have lost not only the en
thusiasm but even the sympathy of the
body politic; and until they can guarantee
to the country something that will eclipse
the splendid achievements of the Republican
party, they can hope for nothing beyond
signal defeat in a presidential contest.
Without laying any claims to propheti
cal inspiration, after a careful and impartial
survey of the field, we have no hesitation
in pronouncing that the nominee of the
Philadelphia Convention will be the next
President of the United States, and that
nominee will be GENERAI, GRANT.
THE AMERICAN "CASE."
1 The attitude of England and the United
States toward each other have become
changed within a few days. 411 the
facts of the more recent correspondence
between the governments of those two
countries, in reference to the pending con
troversy, have not been divulged. Enough
is known however to convince the candid
mind that England is attempting to play
an ignoble game in reference to the Amer
ican "case" prepared for presentation to
the Geneva Tribunal.
It will be remembered that when the
High joint Commission met at Washing
ton, the Commissioners on the part of the
United States reported to the Commis
sioners of the other party that a claim for
indirect or consequential damages would
be presented for consideration and action.
The Eoglish Commissioners declined to
receive or act upon this claim. They were
pot withdrawn; but to meet the case it
was agreed, and so stated in the preamble,
and in the Treaty, that a Tribunal should
be created to which ALL claims for dam
ages might be referred for adjudication.
The Treaty is clear upon this point.
The American "case" was prepared and
sent to England, and was several weeks in
the hands of the British Government be
fore any objection was mode to its con
tents. But the Tory or opposition party,
in looking round for materials with which
to harrass the Gladstone Ministry, seized
upon this claim which they believed could
be made a Cuing apple of discord with
which to remove Mr. Gladstone from of
flee. Then the public press of London
was instigated to take q our "case" and
in an angry tone denounced its provisions.
Gladstone saw his danger. professed indig
nation, and declared that the claim was
not in accordance with the provisions of
the Treaty, and must be withdrawn. The
American Government received a telegram
upon the subject, followed by a remon
strance, more in detail, by the next Eng
lish mail. A reply was forwarded to Eng_
land that the "case" could not be with
drawn, and pointing to the fact that the
Tribunal was the proper authority to de
cide not only upon the award but upon the
admissability of the claim itself. This
ought to have been satisfactory to all par
ties; but it was not. England demanded
and insisted upon the withdrawal of the
claim, or she would withdraw from the
Tribunal. Here was a dead lock which,
in plain English, grew out of sheer stub
borncss, and threatened the destruction of
the Treaty itself'.
Here the matter rested for some weeks.
In the meantime, the counter cases of
each :country were prepared, and, accord.
ing to contract, exchanged for examina
tion at Geneva. The English counter
case was offered, and received by our
representative, under protest, and the de
mand to withdraw the claim for indirect
damages was still made.
After mature deliberation the American
Government, to save the Treaty itself,
agreed to accept a proposition from Great
Britain "to waive or abandon our claim
for indirect or consequential damages, in
case Great Britain shall unite with us iu
recognizing this as a principle, to be re
spected in all future cases of international
reclamation." This was reasonable. It
reverses the policy the American Govern
ment desired to establish in international
law ; but it fixes a principle, or settles an
unsettled and very important point.
But England declines to accede to this
prop .sition, and insists that the claims
shall be withdrawn unconditionally i This
would leave the question as to liabili
ty, in all similar cases in the future, open
and unsettled.
There the matter stands. The country
is becoming aroused and indignant upon
the subject, and the State Department at
Washington is daily receiving letters from
influential parties in all parts of the coun
try, asking that no surrender be made
until England manifests a disposition to
yield to concessions that will admit of an
honorable adjustment of the question.

Rumors—Grant, Bout=ll, Bale—New

Papers Burned.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 13, 1572.
PROBABLE ABANDONMENT ON TILE TREATY
OF WASHINGTON
The dead-lock between the British and
the American Governments in reference to
our "case" will, it is now feared, result in
the abandonment of the entire Treaty.
The President and Secretary of State, un
der•the approval of the Cabinet, have made
propositions to \ England to modify or
change the "ease ;" and they have asked
for a proposal from England which would
establish a principle by which nations
could be governed in the future. But ac
cording to the latest accounts England de
clines to listen to any modification or
change in the American "case" short of an
unconditional surrender of the claim for
indirect damages. And there the matter
rests. The subject was under considera
tion at the Cabinet meeting on Friday, but
there is no possibility or intention of yield
ing to the extraordinary demand of Eng
land, and the subject was left as it was
when taken up. Sporetayy Fish is nrged
by correspondents in all parts of the coun
try not to yield up our right in the case,
let the eonseppence be what it may.
THE TARIFF.
The House is daily debating the ques
tions of tariffs and taxes; but have not
yet made any material eharges in either.
In fact the larger reductions in the future
revennes, caused by the transfer of tea
and coffee to the free list, leaves but a
small margin for reductions of the duty on
other articles, and it is pretty evident now
that the reductions contemplated on
manufactures will not be made, or if at all,
only to a very limited extent. Mr. Scott's
bold venture in pressing the removal of
duties from tea and coffee, was a magnifi
cent achievement in favor of protectiOn to
home industries, as it-will preserve intact
the tariff upon articles of manufacture that
under other circumstances would have had
the duties materially reduced. It was a
move most decidedly in the interest of the
working classes, and by them will be duly
appreciated. So far the free traders have
been defeated on all sides during the pres
ent. session:of Congress, and outsideof leg
islation they have met with even greater
disaster in the nomination for their Moses
of one of the ablest. and most conscientious
and determined protectionists in the whole
country.
BASELESS RUMORS.
The supporters of the Cincinnati um
ination have promulgated a story that the
friends of President Grant will not allow
his name to go before the Philadelphia
Convention. There is not a single syllable
of truth in the story. At that great as
sembly of Republicans President Grant will
undoubtedly receive a re-nomination, and
will be elected in November, as a just en
dorsement and a mark of gratitude by the
people, for his great success in the past,
first as a soldier, and later as Chief Magis
trate of the nation.
Another rumor, of similar origin, is to
the effect that Secretary Boutwell is pre
paring to hand over his partfolio to the
President, and take his final departure
from the Treasury Department. This, too,
is simply a canard. Mr. Boutwell has
been eminently successful, and be is one
of the very last men that President Grant
would think of sparing from his cabinet.
The Springfield, Mass., Republican,
whose editor has just returned from the
Cincinnati Convention, has started a report
that Charles Hale, Assistant Secretary of
State, has tendered his resignation, and
that if he had not done so he would have
been removed. It is barely possible that
such is the fact, but the general impres
sion on the public mind here in the absense
of positive information, is that the report
is incorrect.
IN WORKING ORDER.
The new rules of the Civil Service go
into operation to-day, in all the Govern
ment Departments in Washington, and
will soon be applied throughout the differ
ent States.
OFFICIAL PAPERS BURNED.
By the fire at Somerset, Pa.. which de
stroyed half the town, all the books and
official papers of the revenue office wore
destroyed. The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has sent a messenger from Wash
ington to invekigue and report.
From Southern Nebraska
FALLS CITY, May 3, 1872.
Dear Journal have intended, for some
time, to pen you a few lines from our State. 1
will now undertake the task. I will gi , e you
a brief description of the scions. The spring
has been later than usual. Fields are once
more covered with grain. Farmers have
plowed up most of the ground that had been
in winter grain, which was principally killed
by the severity of the weather, and sowed
spring grain which is looking very well. Ne
have splendid growing weather at present—
everything looks flourishing. From the ap
pearance now fruit w 11 be plenty where there
are bearing trees. Fruit, as a general thing,
does very well in this part of the State. This
is a secoLd Egypt for corn ; in traveling along
the road you can see thousands and thousands
of bushels of corn cribbed in rail pens, which
is only bringing, at presqiit, twenty cents a
bushel. Corn will be a better price once
there is more competition in the transporta
tion of the produce. We are now oxpeiqing
line of road from St. Louis to Omaha, which
will penetrate this State on the south and run
north, in the eastern part of the State.
This is a very good grazing country, and
stock is always in demand, and prices gener
ally good for all kinds.
Land is yet cheap but is not likely to stay
so very long, as emigration is pretty strong
from all parts of the world. Raw land in our
county, and several others around us, sells
from ten to fifteen dollars per acre, but - there
is land in the State selling at government
prices, some to homestead and some to pre
empt; soldiers that served a certain length of
time in the union army now have a very good
chance to get themselves homes, which op
portunity I think they shou.d embrace. Some
of our eastern friends thina that favorable re
ports of this western country is all a romance,
but such is not the case. Ibis, in a few years,
will no doubt equal any of its sister States
in population, civilization, enterprise and art.
The towns and cities are of the most rapid
growth. Falls City, our county seat, two
years ago, had only about three hundred in
habitants, while it now numbers about fifteen
hundred. There are other 3 that are of still
more rapid growth. Most of the old river
towns have gone down ; some places where
there were towns and villages ten yearth ago
the Missoli river now has its course. I must
say I think the Missouri river is one of the
most treacherous streams on the American
continent. It is expected to be higher, this
summer than it has been for a number of
years on account of the deep snows in the
mountains. There is fear along the river of
the loss of much property, both of public and
private character. Some of the best river
farms go into the river every year. It is also
presumed that the railroad will be more or
less injured by the rise this season.
I almost neglected to say anything about
our schools. People seem to be very much
interested in the education of the youth of
the state,
as regards having them comfortably
arranged, but the school system and school,
law I think very inferior to that of Pennsyl
vania. You, likely, will be tired of this ,1
lengthy letter. I will close. i. w. F.
SOMERSET IN ASHES !
HALF THE TOWN BURNED !
Only One Store Left in the Place
LOSS A MILLION OF DOLLARS !
The telegraph has already conveyed to you
intelligence of the terrible calamity which
befel Somerset. Some of the details will prove
interesting to the readers of the Commercial.
The fire originated in a stable in front of the
Kelm Foundry, at 4r.u. on Thursday. In a
few minutes the two adjoining stables were in
a blaze, and the unusually violent wind blow
ing at the time, in a few minutes carried
sparks and blazing shingles over the business
portion of the town, and the fire becam.:
general.
The origin of the fire by some attributed to
sparks from the Foundry, falling on the
stable. A gentleinan who was on the ground
at the time says three adjoining stables burst
into flames at the same moment, and unhesi
tatingly attributes it to incendiarism. Every
business house is destroyed except Holder
baum's grocery, every hotel except the Barnett
Rouse, both the printing offices and the Pres
liyterian and Lutheran churches.
In a large number of eases the stqres were
used at the same time as residences and many,
in fact the majority, of the losses represent
all the owners had.
Goods were removed from the houses to be
desteoyed ip tlic streets, or in some cases to
be carried off hY Miscreants to the country :
Scarcely anything was saved, the complete
destruction effected being one remarkable
foature.
_
Said a young moo who forgot that he Gad
lost all, "My old father, rieh at noon yesterr
day, hadn't a dollar at night, and with his
two daughters, bad to beg a floor to lie on
last night—and he eighty four years olct"
. -
Another said, ". Beside Chicago this will ap
pear smell,
bat we won't get help, bat Cod
knows we need it,—it was all we had." Yet
there was no needless complaining, and all
tried to smile and talk cheerfully and hope
fully of the future. None can appreciate the
scene unless they stand with a father looking
on the rains with his family, not a dollar or a
mouthful to oat is the world and cheerfully

Both of our newspaper offices, the Herald and
