Republican State Convention IIEADVAIITERS REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE, HARRISBURG, February 1,1876. n pursuance of a resolution of the Repnb lican State Committee, adopted at a meeting held in Harrisburg this day, a Republican State Convention, to be composed of delegates from each Senatorial and Representative dis trict, to the number to which such district is entitled in the Legislature, is hereby called to meet in the city of Harrisburg, at twelve o'clock, noon, on Wednesday, March 29, 1876, for the purpose of nominating an Electoral ticket and of electing Senatorial and Repre sentative delegates to represent the State in the Republican National Convention, to be held at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 14th day of June, 1876. By Order of the Committe, HENRY M. HOYT, Chairman. A. WlLsoat NORRIS, Secretary. WRIGHT and Randall joined teams, at Lancaster, and the slow coaches had to bustle around. THE Democratic Convention assembled, at Lancaster, on Wednesday, and selected delegates to the Democratic National Con vention and nominated an Electorial ticket for this State. THE Republican members of Congress, from this State, have tendered Senator Cameron a dinner in honor of his seventy eighth birthday and as a token of the high regard which they have for the old veteran. Tux Republican State Convention as sembles, in Harrisburg, on Wednesday next. The principal object is to select delegates to the National Republican Con vention, which assembles in Cincinnati, on the 14th of June, and to name an Electo ral ticket. Huntingdon county will, we suppose, as usual, present a double delega tion. CONGRESS has been iu session over three months, and with the exception of a few splurges on the part of the House, which have not really amounted to anything, noth ing for the relief of the country has been accomplished. The obnoxious postal law, which every body supposed would be re pealed in a few days after its meeting, has scarcely been touched. IT gives us great pleasure to note the fact that in all the great multitude of charges of coruption, at Washington, not a suspicion has been, in the remotest de gree, attached to the Republican Senator from this State. Senator Cameron has maintained the dignity and honor of the great Commonwealth in a manner that deserves the commendation of every good and grateful citizen. The Lobby to Defeat the Texas Pacific. We copy the following from the Cam. den New Republic, of the 11th inst : The letter which we reprint in to day's issue from the Philadelphia North Ameri can, supplies an interesting though not a pleasing picture of the state of affairs in Washington regarding the Texas Pacific Railway measure. Briefly stated, the op position to that project comes only from the Central Pacific Railway Company, whose seductive lobby agents, of both sex es, throng the capital. The revolt which the people of California arc made, under the leadership of Newton Booth, against the exactions of the tyrranous monopoly, appears not to have checked, but only to enlarged the current of that company's ambition. This winter they have under taken the enslavement of the National Congress—a venture which no railroad company, however powerful, had before en gaged in. There could be little doubt that the wishes of the central and southern, and of a considerable number of the northern states found expression at the St. Louis Railroad Convention last fall. That ex pression was unequivocal in its favor of assistance to the Texas Pacific measure. Mr. Kerr, whose disposition regarding it was well known, received a large majority of the votes of the House, and his com mittees were framed as it was expected they would be, of members favorable to the scheme. Under these circumstances, the representatives of a company, whose monopoly of trans continental transporta tion was threatened with annihilation, came before Congress to protest against the extension of aid to the Texas Pacific, on the ground that they are willing to build a road upon the same route without assistance from the Government. Their proposal needs only to be stated to prove its insincerity. Business men do not as a rule, build up rival houses, across the street, to share the trade that can be carried on as well in one place; and we do not remember when the world was ever blessed with seeing a railroad company to expend fifty millions or so on a parallel line of road. The proposition is presented to Congress only to veil corruption ; to furnish timid or purchasable Congressmen a plausible excuse for serving the enemy ; to extinguish the prospect of a much needed southern connection with the Pa cific coast. If the plot succeeds, no one need be so foolish as to expect anything more from the magnanimous promise of the Central Pacific. The only hope that can be honestly en tertained of the southern Pacific connec tion must rest upon the plan proposed by Col. Scott. It ought to receive the favor of bo,h Houses of Congress. There are considerations, numerous as they are con vincing, why required assistance should be given. One of the difficulties that Col. Scott has to meet. is that spirit of section al strife which is alive, all too vigorously yet, and which would make the material welfare of the South subservient to the political and commercial ascendancy of the North. Let us consider for a moment that the war is over, and we shall be una ble to deny the conclusion that the south ern states should have not only equal facil ities with the North for re-building their shattered industries, but the advantage, in proportion as their calamities have been more severe and their present prostration more abject and pitiable than ours. Nay, let us look further back than the issue of our late contest. What has been the pol icy of our Government toward that vast domain rich beyond comparison in all the elements of material wealth ? How have the Government expenditures for internal improvements been balanced between the northern and southern states? It has been one side tip, the other side down. That half of oar country which, under ordinary circumstances would be the most prosper ous and wealthy, has received, during the past century, one hundred said seventy millions of dollars less for the internal im _provements than the northern section. It Sias had all the advantages of soil and cli mate and products which the North has lacked, and has lacked nearly all the assis tance which the North has obtained to stimulate her industries and develope her less productive resources. On the one side there hits been the fruitfulness of na ture struggling with ill cultivation and lack of systematic devclopewent ; on the other, meagre capacities enlarged and ad vanced by all the appliances of mechanics, by governmental aid and by private and corporate enterprise EDITOR It is not wise policy to continue the coursa we have pursued; the Fesent year is an eminently fitting time to make some effort, or Facrificos even, to meet the wants of the South. There has been no question that the central and southern states desire the building of the Texas Pacific !tail way, and there can be no doubt as to the mag nitude of the benefits construction will confer upon the entire country. Besides its influence as a remedial agent in he,d. ing the wounds of sectional prejudice, the project is recommended by other advan tages almost innumerable, of which it is not necessary to speak, because they are well understood and appreciated. The op position to further extension of govern ment aid to private corporations which we think, in its general aspects, well founded, is relied upon by the enemies of the bill to defeat its passage. We need not refer to the peculiar circumstances affecting Col. Scott's project which could not be adduced in favor of other schemes of like character. But the assistance asked for does not in volve the government in any expenditure such as has been freely put forth in aid of railroads connecting the northern states with the great West. There has been no effort to give the measure a political or sectional significance, but the conclusion is irresistable that the failure to pass it will look much as if the wants of the South had been ignored. The work is "not for an age but for all the time." Its con struction, under the terms proposed by Col. Scott, will give the Forty-fourth Con gress a title to the gratitude of posterity, such as no act of theirs, thus far, has given them reason to hope for, Our Harrisburg Letter. HARRISBURG, March 20, 1876 The consideration last week of the bill for the establishment of new counties was accompanied by an animated discussion, which at times was tinged with caustic reflections on some of the principal sup. porters of the measure. About six hours was consumed in debate, and in offering and voting on amendments. The im mediate object of the bill is to create four new counties--one out of Bradford, Tioga and Lycoming, one out of Crawford, Ve naogo and Warren and two out of Lu zerne, which contains nearly 14,000 square miles. As originally framed the bill al lowed a wide latitude.for the creation of new counties. It provided for the estab lishment of new counties with a popula tion as low as 20,000 inhabitants, in case two thirds of the electors in the territory proposed to be detached voted for the di vision. No provision was made to compel the new county to pay its proportion of the old county's indebtedness. As the discussion progressed in the House where the bill originated, it became evident that unless material modifications were made its passage would be jeopardized, and the friends of the measure wade several im portant concessions, one of which was al lowing the incorporation of an amendment which provides that if a majority of the electors in that portion of a county pro posed to be detached vote against a new county, they shall remain in the old. The effect of this provision will be to make the creation of a new county impossible unless a majority of the section of each county affected shall vote fcr separation. Another amendment provides that any city, bor ough, township or district, or any part thereof becoming parts of a new county under the provisions of the bill shall con tinue.to be liable for its proportion of the old county's indebtedness, existing at the time of separation, and shall from time to time, as required by the commissioners of the old county, collect in the manner now provided by law and pay in to the county treasury thereof its pro rata share required to pay accrued and accruing interest there on, and provide for the liquidation of the debt. The bill further provides that on the petition that not less than 1,500 of the qualified electors in the territory sought to be cut up that a new county is necessary. The petition also setting forth that the proposed division will not reduce any county from such territory is to be taken to less than 40,000 square miles or less than 20,000 inhabitants, and that the ter ritory and population to be included in the proposed new county are no less. The governor, lieutenant governor, and secre tary of internal affairs shall appoint five disinterested persons as commissioners who shall investigate the truth of the matters set forth in the petition and report within' forty days. - In easc the commissioners should find the allegations correct an elec tion be ordered within forty days after the commissioners report shall have been made. The members interested in the division of Crawford and adjoining counties, and in the division of Lyceming and contiguous counties do not approve the bill in its present shape. as the provision making a majority of votes necessary in the district proposed to be taken from an old county to carry it into the new render the creation of additional counties extremely difficult. To the counties whose division is contem plated the bill as it stands could probably not be successfully applied if Luzerne be excepted. Almost any bill would enable that county to be divided, more than half the population being favorable to the pro ject. When the bill comes up agaio the new county advocates will make an earnest effort to have the objectionable features removed, and the opponents will fight just as determinedly to have them retained.— It is safe to predict that ne bill can pass the legislature which seeks to divide any county but Luzerne, out of which it is generally admitted two counties should be created. The House has passed four Centennial bills—one appropriating $60,000 for a military display at the exposition, one ap propriating $40,000 for a building for the accommodation of Pennsylvania, and one appropriatiing $15,000 for an educational display, and one appropriating $lO,OOO for an exhibition of minerals. All of these bills but the one relating to the National Guard will probably pass the Senate. The Governor and Adjutant General are very anxious that there should be a creditable display of the military at the Centennial, but many of the senators doubt the pro priety of passing the bill appropriating $50.000 for that purpose. It has been in the bands of a committee for over a week, and fears are entertained by its friends that it will be either negatively reported or the amount appropriated so reduced as to render the bill impracticable. Among the important bills considered in the Senate last week, and on which an interesting debate-was bad, is that relating to chattel mortgages. The advocates of mortgaging personal property maintained that the adoption of the system in Penn sylvania would be a great assistance to the prostrated industries of the State. It would enable suffering manufactories to procure the necessary funds to put their works in successful operation, secure work for thou sands of the unemployed, and give a gen eral impetus to business. Those against the innovation argue that it would open the way for the perpetration of frauds The first section Qf the bill provides that all saw logs, sawed lumber, 14th, pickets, shingles, hewn lumber, spars, petrolemq or coal oil, crude or refined, in tanks, reser voirs, barrels, or other receptacle in bulk, and all pig iron, blooms, rolled or hammer ed iron, in sheets or bars, may be mortga ged for any sum not less than five hun dred dollars, by an instrument in writing, signed by the writer thereof. or by his agent, dilly constituted and duly acknowl edged betbre some person authorized by law to take acknowledgment of (1,.ed.. Amendm::iits were alined inelu.ling iron ore prepared 14 use, and itritittlaettired slate awl canal cools. The bill was also amended waking false representations in the sale of mortgaged material a misde meanor, and limiting the operations of the law to five years, when it is expected the necessity of the Pleasure will have passed away. Judging from the tenor or the discussion the bill will pass the Senate but it will scarcely get through the [louse. While the Senate was considering the subject of chattel mortgage the House was discussing a stay law for two years on all payments now remaining unsatisfied or which may be obtained within six months after the passage of the act, provided there shall be no stay of collection of interest or of judgments for the security of payments of money to widows, orphans or minors, and no stay on judgments obtained for the wages of labor. Amendments were incor porated providing that no waiver of the stay should be valid and limiting the op erations of the law to one year. The pas sage of this bill, which went through sec ond reading without formidable opposition, is also urged on the ground that it would help the people of the State out of the ex isting financial difficulties. Although introduced in the Senate ear ly iu the session, the boom bill, fixing the rate of log boomage at one dollar a thou sand feet, has not reached second reading in the House. It passed the Senate by a decisive majority, but its friends are not so confident of obtaining a constitutional majority in favor of it in the other branch of the legislature. Last winter the House passed the bill ny• a majority of three to one, but it failed in the Senate. The lum bermen of the Susquehanna are particular ly interested in the measure, as it would remove an oppressive burden of taxation from them. tinder the existing law they pay $1.25 per thousand feet to the Sus quehanna Boom Company, which have the act passed. The yearly profits of this Company average over $200,000 a year, and to fix the tax rate at one dollar would reduce the profits probably $50,009. The lumbermen have representatives here watching the progress of the bill and ur ging its passage. Peter Herdic, the prin cipal member of the boom firm is employ ing all available means to defeat the bill, and it is currently reported that be has won many who voted for the lumbermen at the last f 3 ession to his side. When the bill comes up on sec•md reading a bitter fight is expected. Large Fire in Charleston Loa Half a Million Dollars—Great Dis tress ilmong the Inhabitants—Negro Robbers Sack the Houses —Very Little insurance. March 20, IS7O. A. fire broke out at 3 o'clock this morn ing, at the corner of King and Rogers al ley. No water being in the neighborhood, and the wind blowing a gale from the south-east, the who!e block, from Commu bus to Line street, as on the east side of King street, was destroyed. About 7 o'clock the fire crossed the line of the street, the sparks and cinders being car ried by the gale three quarters of a mile up Kings street road. The houses, fences, and farms along the road were burned. Heart-rending scenes were witnessed, and, to add to the confnsion, bands of negro robbers sacked every house in which they could gain admittance. Later in the morn ing, Mayor Cunninghaio took command. and some order was restored. By 10i o'clock the fire had burned itself out. Hun dreds of' persons are homeless and penni less. The loss is at least half a million, and very little insurance is reported. The boundaries of the burned district are, on the south, Columbus street and Rogers al ley ; on the north, the race course on the South Carolina Railroad, and on the west, St. Phillips and Percy streets, State. An oar factory has been established at Corry. From the Girard estate in the Coal re gion 6,660,354 tons of coal have been mined. The supreme court has postponed action in the case of Lananhan, convicted of the murder of Capt. Reilly, and now lying in jail at Wilkesbarree. Samuel Canner, aged seventy years fell down a coal shaft in Nashannock town ship, Lawrence county, and had his skull crushed and neck broken. From 1870 to 1875, Inclusive, the num ber of writs of errors, certioraris and ap peals received by the supreme court from Philadelphia was 1,178, and the number argued was 930. Thomas Boyle, aged fifty years, has been senteneeno the penitentiary, by Judge Pershing. for eleven years and six months, for committinc , an outrage on a little girl who is deaf and dumb. An unknown German. who had been robbed of his money while on the way to Pittsburg from St. Louis, committed sui cide in the former place by hanging him self to a bedpost with a handkerchief on Saturday. The huge, drastic, griping, sickening pills, constructed of crude, coarse and bulky ingredients, are fast being su perseded by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, or Sugar-Coated, Concentinted Root and Herbal Juice, Anti - Bilious Granules—the "Little Giant" Cathartic or If ultunt in.Parro Physic. Mondern Chemical Science enables Dr. Pierce to extract from the juices of the most valuable roots and herbs their active medicinal principles, which, when worked into little Pellets or Granules, scarcely larger than a mustard seed, renders each little Pellet as active and powerful as a large pill, while they are much more palatable rnd pleasant in effect. Dr. IRA ♦. THAYER, of Baconsbnrg, Ohio, writes : "I re gard your Pellets as the best remedy for the conditions for which you prescribe them of anything I have ever used, so mild and certain in effect, and leaving the bowels in an cxcellnnt condition. It seems to me they must take the place of all other cathartic pills and medicines." Lyox & MAcosouza, druggists, Vermillion, D. T., say : "We think they are going to sell like hot cakes as soon as people get acquainted with them and will spoil the pill trade, as those that have used them like them much bet ter than large pills."
