FRIDAY, FEBRUARY
Circulation LARGER than any other
Paper in the Juniata Valley.
AN UNPLEASANT THEME
Ten per cent. off for Advance Payment
We do wish it never became necessary
o do an unpleasant thing, but we cannot
sec how to avoid it as long as every third
man in Huntingdon county owes us and
fails to pay up. Suppose it is "only a dol
lar or two" each, it aggregates thousands
of dollars to us. IVe owe a few hundred
dollars for the thousands due us, and every
now and then we have to stand a very un
pleasant dun because our patrons refuse to
pay up. We frequently have to quit our
labor on the paper and go hawking about
the streets trying to raise money enough
to keep our business moving, and the pa-
per just suffers to this extent. Every hour
that we lose in this way cuts our original
matter short. Since August last there
has scarcely been, on an average, ten dol
Jars a week paid into the office on sub-
seriptions. We have had to resort to al
most every device to meet current expen
ses. This sort of thing no business men
cau btand, and our patrons ought not to
usk us to forbear longer
We will now make the following propo
slam, viz : To all persons who will pay
us oLe or two years in advance, on or be-
fore the Ist day of March next ; we will
MAKE A REDUCTION OF TEN PERCENTUM,
thus giving them the JOURNAL for the
Centennial year for $lBO. To those who
have already paid us in advance we will
make the same reduction in the next pay-
mot. And those who are in arrears, and
will pay us, on or before the Ist of March
next, we will make a reduction of five per
cent.
Now, friends, strain a point to help us.
Yours, Respectfully,
J. R. DURBORROW ct Cu.

Tut Centennial bill appropriating $l,-
500,000 has passed the House and will
pass the Senate this week.
IN New York steam has been success
fully introduced upon the canals Hadn't
our people better profit by their expe
rience
TnE Legislature is down to work in
good earnest. The two Houses, s 9 far,
have not had any differences that cannot
be readily adjusted.
SENATOR CAMERON represents Penn
sylvania on the Republican Congressional
Committee. This is an excellent selec
Lion. There is no abler political organi
zer in the Union than he is
TUE Massachusetts Republicans feel
that they lost cast by defeating Gen. But
ler at the last Congrestional election,
and we have no doubt that General
will be returned at the next election by a
handsome vote.
Tu Republican State Central Commit
tee met, at Harrisburg, on Tuesday last,
and fixed on Harrisburg as the place for
holding the State Convention and the 29th
day of March as the time.
THE Speer men are making all they
can out of Stenger vote against the Cen
tennial Appropriation. This is ominous.
There is going to be a tir , sle for the ap
proaching nomination. Speer expect:J. to
be counted in by counting Stenger out.
It is to be a race between Back Pay and
anti-Centennial.
Tar, Speaker of the Lower House of
Congress is not a candidate for President,
and unselfishly names Gov. Hendricks of
Indiana for the position. He weans to
leave well enough alone. Some body has
to be offered up but he does not feel like
being sacrificed. We admire his shrewd
ness.
TUB es-Confederates, who have found
their way to Congress, must have eon
spired to annihilate the remnants of
Democracy. They must owe this miser
able old carcass a terrible grudge be
cause scarcely a day passes but they stab
it to the vitals.
THE SPRING ELECTIONS
The annual Spring elections, for town
ship and borough officers, take place on
Tuesday, the 15th inst., and we hear of
no move being made fur the nomination
of men to fill the different positions. Our
Republican friends should move i i this
Immer at ones, and place men in nomina.
tion who would command the support of
the party ; men qualified to discharge their
respective duties in a respectable wander.
As a general thing these minor elections
are allowed to go by default, and the re•
suit is that our opponents, who are always
on the alert, fill them with their partisans,
and whatever advantages are to be gained
they reap them. We hops our friends,
in the different districts in this
county, will see the importance of these
minor offices being filled with their parti
sans, and that they will immediately call
the party togather and place suitable men
in nomination. These elections will be
the skirmishes preparatory to the great
battle to come off this fall and we trust
that all Republicans will see the impor
tance and necessity of securing success at
the outset.
EDITOR
4, 1876
The Repnblican party should commence
its organization at once. Now is the time
to do it ! The Democrats will not fail to
seize every advantage, and we give them
credit for looking after their interests.—
As already said, in effect, one of the great
est political contests, in the history of the
country, is to be decided this year. This
is no buncombe or idle alarm ! It is war
ranted by every sense of political danger.
The Democratic party controls the Lower
House of Congress and almost one half the
States that stood firm during the war, and
in addition to this they have a united
white population at the South. There is
no denying this condition of affairs ! It is
patent to everybody. What has brought
it about ? Disscensions and broils in the
Republican party. What does it mean ?
It means simply the triumph of Southern
views and Southern interests ? The late
contest in the Lower House ofCongress has
clearly demonstrated this. The triumph
of Democracy means the domination of
the South who took up arms against the
government. Republicans of Huntingdon
County, arc you prepared to hand the
government over to the South after tip
sacrifices of blood and treasure which you
have made Y
Dissentious, similar to your own, have
given the Den.ocratic party a lease of life,
in all common sense had you not better
stop your wrangling and make common
cause over the graves of the brave men
who were sacrificed that you might have
peace and happiness ? Let us, here, this
Centennial year, unite as one man, and
roll up a majority, as of yore, for unalloy
ed Republicanism. Commence now. Nom
inate candidates for the minor offices and
thus perfect your organization, and when
the great campaign opens let us march
shoulder to shoulder to victory. Will
you join us in this commendable effort to
re-unite the Republican party ? Then
organize at ONCE!
Our Harrisburg Letter.
Centennial Appropriation for Grangers—Re
moval of the Capital—The Sinking Fund Act
as Amended—Judges Salary Bill—Texas Pa
cific Railway—The Vagrant Bill as Reported,
Etc.
No bill has so far advanced as to have gone to
the Governor for its signature and become a law.
The Committees are hart: at work considering
bills, but there seems no end to the latter, as over
one hundred have been introduced this week in
both bodies, on all of which some action must be
taken, and by this it can hardly be stated that our
people want no laws.
Attorney General Lear's troubles aro at an end
and his confirmation will be made when his name
is handed in. The cause which gave rise to the
feeling against him rather adds than detracts from
his good name.
One of the leading members of the majority, and
in feet, the leader of that side of the house, was
arrested, on Thursd .y evening, for drunk and dis
orderly conduct. Ills ease is a pitiful one. The
Speaker of the House has also discharged his clerk
for improper conduct. Lots of room for reform
among the brethren.
Members of the State Grange addressed a meet
ing, of members and others, on Wednesday even
ing, in the Hall of the House. They asked for an
appropriation of $50,000 to build a building in
tended to accommodate members of their order
who may visit the Centennial. The building to
be erected on ground leased fur their encampment.
Victor E. Piollett, esq , Mr. Plummer and Mr.
E. 11. Thomas made addresses.
The usual complaint arising about this time
as to the quality of grub furnished, the bill sub
mitting to the voters of the State the removal of
the capital to Philadelphia, the latter city to be
at the expense of furnishing accommodations for
the departments of State, was introduced and re
ported favorably. If the Constitutional Conven
tion could hardly get a quorum what would be the
case if the Legislature should be removed.
SENATE PitOCVCDINGS,
Petitions were introduced from iron producing
and mining sections of the State, requesting that
our members of Congres+ be memoralized, and re
quested to vote for subsidies for the Texas Pacific
Railway. Believing as they do that if the road
would be built it would revive the above interests
and restore good times.
The act directing revenues from the Sinking
Fund to the Genefal Fund passed second reading
in the senate yesterday, and was amended so as
to divine $1,400,000 this year and $700,000 to the
General Fund yearly thereafter, without requiring
monthly balances, etc., which was attached to the
bill in the lions*. The bill will pass third read
ing and meet its fate in a committee of conference
in which the house will give way.
The a •t suppressing vagrancy was reported yes
terday. It re-enacts the law of 1836 as to who
are vagrants, and makes it the duty of officers to
arrest, and on conviction, before magistrate, of
such persons, they shall be sentenced to labor in
work-houses, highways, or streets, for not less than
thirty days. ft declares all alms-houses, work
houses, and punishes officers for refusing to arrest,
and regulates their fees. Is no one is here to lob
by fur the 'veg." the law will pals and we will
have an exodus of that part of our population if
its provisions are enforced.
The bill providing for the erection of watering
troughs along the public highways of the State
was so amended as to iirtgally defeat it.
.
The conspiracy act to prevent iopetition of con
viction on cases similar to Parks, at Clearfield, was
so amended as to require decision of the Supreme
Court to tell what it means at this date.
The ebulations of the House have been numer
ous and you can hardly ever enter the ball without
seeing a, half dozen of members on their feet cry
ing "Mr. Speaker," "Mr. Speaker." They have
set it down by voting down repeated resolutions on
final adjournment, that they will have a session
into the mouth of May.
The judge's salary bill seems to halt in its
coarse, after its being amended so as to leave the
salaries at present, figures.
A bill changing the present system of selecting
jurors by commissioners was defeated.
The bill giving a Purdon's Digest to each mem
ber was defeated, but the vote was rwousidered
and the bill is on its final passage acain.
A bill providing for bounties for fox, skunk and
owl scalps passed the house a second time, but the
owls were saved from general destruction by the
magnamity of some taemhers who amended the
bill seas exclude the owl. Tbeneripounty bill has
ales been introduced in the house. Why it is that
so much of the important legislation is passed
over by frivolities, as above, we cannot say.
A bill for the establishment of industrial schools
was introduced. The peopho of the Commonwealth
could forbear with the education of the soldier's
orphans, but now, as those schools take au end,
a way must be sought out by which the appropria
tions will continue to Row out of the State treas
ury. When will the yarent4l d ! lty of the State
cease? B.

GORDON'S FOOD
FOR
HORSES AND CATTLE.
This valuable food, composed of strictly vege
table ingredients, has proved itself to he one of
the most beneficial articles of diet yet introduced.
When fed to Horses it gives perfect condition,
greater spirit, and is highly recommended for
broken and thick-winded horses.
When need an Dairy Cote. it invariably increas
es the production to what would be obtained when
COWS are fed on rich sprit]; grace, and the quality
of the butter ie greatly improved.
When need to fatten Cattle and Thlpf it eccom
plishes it in less time and at lees cost. It causes
perfect digestion, and no more pleasant proof of
this can be found than in the absence of that die
agreeable odor that attends cattle when being
heavily led.
For further information respeerng the food,
and for pamphlets containiw; certificates to the
above facto, apply to HENRY h CO.,
