TheMilitiligdoii — TOTiftfal J. R. DITRBORROW, HUNTINGDON, PENN'A FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1876. Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. THE REPUBLICAN STATE CON VENTION. The Republican State Convention:which assembled at Harrisburg, on the 29th ult., exhibited more unanimity of feeling than it has ever been our pleasure to witness at' any previous Republican Convention.— There was more genuine harmony and concert of action than we thought it was possible to obtain. It is a well known fact that the Republicans are eharauteri zed by much wore independence of thought and individuality than the. Democracy.— They are not disposed to acquiesce unless all is fair and square. The least semblance of arbitrariness; looking towards individual aggrandizement, which does not carry with it the popular favor, is the usual sig nal for open and zealous opposition. But so popular were the various movements of the Convention and the measures brought before it, that out of the hundreds of able men who composed it, there was scarcely a single utterance heard to mar the harmony which was evident on every hand. The organization, the committees, the platform, everything, were adopted without scarcely a dissenting voice. If Pennsylvania does not roll up an overwhelming majority for the Republican candidate for ?resident, it will not be for want of harmony among leading Republicans. - We do hope and pray that this action, on the part of the leaders of the Republi can party of the State, will have a benefi cial and ennobling effect upon the party in Huntingdon county. As usual we pre sented two sets of delegates, with the un derstanding that neither would receive half a loaf, and that the State Convention should decide which was the real Repub lican party iii the county. Judge Pettis' committee had an unpleasant and disa greeable duty to perform, but with such an able and experienced chairman as the Judge, the matter was fully weighed and j delicately decided. The question of the admission of George B. Orlady, ell., or Horatio G. Fisher, esq., both claiming an election by the regular Republican County Committee, and both strongly backed by corroborative evidence, was a very delicate matter. It is true that Mr. Fisher was also recommended by the Guss Commit tee, but Mr, Fisher admitted that this re. commendation was altogether gratuitous, and how could he do otherwise, after the infamous traducing which he suffered, a few years ago, at the hands of the principal figure oa the committee in question ? The committee on contested seats, however, cleverly decided the matter and highly complimented Mr. Fisher for his efforts to harmonize the party, in which we most heartily join. The Republicans of Pennsylvania will go to Cincinnati a unit for Hartranft, and they mean to nominate him if it is in their pOwer so to do. Those who say that his name is used as a mere cover know little of the men who have the matter in hand. We think we know them and they mean business, and we hope, yea pray, they may succeed. It will be a proud day for the Old Keystone State when her Centennial Governor becomes the standard-bearer o r ' the great Republican party in the Centen- , nial canvass for President. Tux Globe •of Olio week contains five or eix 'mortal whining of the baldest. balder•. dash upon the State Convention. It is the' silliest twaddle imaginable. The editor is owned,' soul, body and breeehes, by the Democrats; he cannot stir to the right nor to the left without consulting them. By virtue of their charity he holds his pres ent'position and belabors those who cannot abide hie treachery. The idea of this man speaking for any• men who are Republi cans is simply ridiculous! lie is paid, kept in existence, nurtured for the express purpose of keeping up a feud in the Repub lican party All the ado that he makes 18 to secure a-following so Os to more effect ually carry out the programme of his mas ters, The great mass of stuff, in this week's paper, is simply for this' purpose and no other, and no true Republican will be misled by it. A3i0310 the very many able and earnest Republicans who participated in the Re• publican State Convention, at Harrisburg, none labored harder and more zealously to promote harmony and the best interests of the party than Judge Pettis, of Crawford. The Jadge has long been one of the many able and prominent men of that prolific region, and we hope be may continue to live many years to enjoy the confidence and respect of his immediate neighbors as well as of the State at-large. WE would call the attention of the read er to the letter of "Tax• Payer," in another column. He clearly demonstrates that our Alms•lJoute is fast becoming the most stupendous burden that could have been conceived. The expenses, with 'the same number -of paupers, have gone. up from $5,000 or -$6,000 in 1865 to $16,000 in 1875 ! This is simply frightful. -11,ead his article.

Mr. Rutan, from the committee ofnirte, in making his report said that the Lan caster county delegates protested against the selection of district delegates to the National Convention ; but the protest was not heeded, the Convention having already determined the mcd9 of selecting district delegates. Mr. Bressler, of York, offered the fol lowing, which was read : _ WIDIREAS, A condition of great financial distress is now prevalent in our country, af fecting all the departments of bvsiuess, but especially those who are dependent upon their , _daily labor for support; And aclureas, Many schemes have been pro 'posed to relieve this distress, comprehending especially a change in our basis of ,currency ; And whereas, II() plans proposed seem to meet the great emergency now upon us ; And whereas, Lt is a fact of history that every financial crisis through which we have passed has been caused by an inadequate pro- tection to American industry, and we have al ways been relieved by an adjustment of the tariff, and an increase of duties on foreign goods which come in pompetition with our home labor ; therefore, ' Resolved, That in the judgment of this Con vention the only true method of relief lici in a high PROTECTIVE TARIFF, which shall en courage gur home industry and shall afford employment to the thousands who, because of the cheapness of foieign labor, are now idle and in many instances reduced to wretch edness and want. Referred to Committee on Resolutions, Mr. Strang, from Committee on Reso lutiomi, offered the following resolutions : Resolved, That we hereby reaffirm the plat form adopted by the Republican State Oon. vention at Lancaster•in 1875, and in view of recent events at Washington, we emphatically endorse that part or it which demands "honest men in office = men with brains enough to know dishonesty when they see it, and cour age enough to fight it wherever they find it.': The nepablicau party is committed by its origin, its traditions, its history and its (Wigs to au intrepid and honest administration of public affairs, and wherever—in National, State or municipal life—mal-administration has existed, or does exist, we demand that it be exposed and corrected, and the guilty pun ished; and to this end we pledge the full measure of our support as citizens and as ypters. -Re4Oleti, That we look to the Cincinnati Convention to give us candidates for Presi dent and Vice President who are above susr pieion, and in whose personal integrity the nation can most surely trust; and that we al so look to our friends tliroulhout the State to make sure that, in presenting 'candidates tor Congress and the Legiiilature, they select those only who are known to be honest, ca pable and faithful to the Constitution. Resolved,-That the - Republicans of Penn sylvania, having nothing in their past history which they wish to blot out, or to apologize for, or would have the nation forget, arraign the Democratic leaders in Congress, and their abettors, for the preference shown to the deadly principles, and for alp sntaleryieney shown-to the defiant leaders of the late Con' , fsderacy, no* dominating them; for their rn moval from office of rnion soldiers and ap pointment of Confederate soldiers; for the re peated indications of a purpose, only con trolled by fear, to open the Treasury of the cation to alarming and unjust pecuniary de mands from tIo insurrectionary States; for their persistent effort to force amnesty upon men too proud or nnrePentant to ask it, or 00 guilty to deserve it; and for the combined recklessness and cowardice of their course on financial iuestions-,a recklessness which mis chievously holds out a threat• to oyerthrow existing laws, and a cowardice or inclipacity ajtth. , itititt! for them—all exkse tine TientocrtVitiT UTi - Vt:ithoitra tioual instinct, or an itn,cctional impulse or an affirmative Policy. and a, unlit to be triNtml by the country which, when Last under their control, they mail iy hurri,l into the vorlex or Civil lVar.

All attempts to divide the school fund, for any purpo , e whatever, or to divert any portion of it into any channel not under popular control, is to be frowned upon and resisted with unyielding firmness. The recent defeat in the Democratic Legisla ture of Maryland of a constitutional amend ment to secure the common school fund of that State against division, reveals at once a grave danger and its sonrce, and with other like facts makes plain the duty of Congress to submit such au amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States as, when adopted, will effectually defend the Common School system from all enemies, open to covert. Resolved, That the attempt of the Demo cratic House of Representatives at Washing ton, in the face of the depressed condition of American industry, to inflict upon the nation a free trade tariff is an insult to the intelli gence of the people, and nu evidence of the inability of the Democratic party to meet the present wants of the country. The remedy' for our suffering industries is in a higher, not in a lower, tariff. Resolved, That the neglect of the public business of the State by the present majority in the lower branch of the Legislature, and the plainly apparent purpose of that majority to needlessly prolong the session with the sole object of thereby increasing their pay, is' worthy of the strongest censure, and must, if persisted in, awaken the just indignation of an outraged people. Resolved, That the uniform policy of the Republican party of Pennsylvania, in keeping down the burdens of taxation while steadily reducing the public debt, should be persis tently maintained. 'When the debt is wiped out, the public expenditures should be con fined to the civil expenses of the State Gov ernment, the support of her public and sol diers' orphan schools, and the efficiency of her reformatory and penal institutions. Resolved, That the recommendation by Governor Hartranft of a uniform system of municipal government throughout the State, and of the adoption of efibctive measures to prevent a further increase of municipal in debtedness, is worthy of all commendation, and should be put into practical operation at as early a day as possible. Resolved, That in recognition of the emi nent services, both in the field and cabinet, the rare executive ability and the unswerving rectitude of Governor John F. Hartranft, the Republicans of Pennsylvania, with just pride, present his name to the consideration of the Republicans of the Union for nomination for the Presidency of the United States, in the full. confidence that the great qualities which have rendered his administration of State of fairs a model, even by the confession of po litical foes, would insure us wise, capable ; unflinching, honest and successful conduct of the Vast and varied interestt of the nation, and that the delegates from Pennsylvania to the National Republican Convention are here by instructed to present Governor llartranft's name to that Convention as the choice of Pennsylvania, and to give him an earnest, constant and united support, and upon all questions to be brought before or arising in the Convention to cast the vote of Pennsyl vania as a unit as the majority of the delega tion shall direct. The reading of tl , e platform was fre quently interrupted with applause. that which followed the riwlitpj, of the school resolution being 100,1 c•mtinuel. The resoititi , tis weve hilanimously adopted. Mr, Minor, of Pay: Ito ; lowing : Resolved, That this Convention, in recogni tion of the eminent and valuable services of Gen. H. M. Hoyt, as Citalrtnan of the State Central Committee, to which the perfect or ganization of the party in the State duritip. the recent canvass was so largely due; and the industry and ability with which Major A. W. Norris has assisted in the management of our political campaigns during the last five years, take this opportunity to give expression to the obligations which their zeal has placed the Iteptiblican party under, and to earnestly invite them to continue during the next cam paign to serve the party in the capacities in which they have already shown such distin guished ability, and that the State Committee of 1876 be appointed upon the basis adopted at the OoncenOpq at Lancaster last year, with (len. H. Hoyt as Chttirmag and A, W. Norris, Secretary, Agreed to. After the appointment of the State Central Committee, the Convention ad journed. ippIERS OF THE STATE CENTRAL COM- Philadelphia— First district—James M'Avoy, James L. Brown.

The business of the House is in much an incomplete state that our adjournment before the middle of May cannot. reasona bly be expected. The number of bilis to be considered aggregating nearly• Most of them have been read till time and roust go through three r.mdisigs. unless defeated before the vote on final passage is reached. I'4r this backward condition in legislation the Democrats in the House will be properly held accounta ble, as they might have had business suffi ciently advanced to allow of our adjourn ment at the cud of the regular session of 100 days. The first four or five weeks of the session were passed in comparative idleness. and since then, while the hours of work have been increased, much un necessary time has been consumed in fruit lers discussion. The machinery of the House is at least very cumbrous and moves tardily, and when its operation is intcrupt ed by almost interminable speeches, the progress of business becomes prsvokingly slow. The disposition to talk has been de veloped to an extraordinary degree this year, and the necessity of earnest practical work, which now is recognized by all the more sensible members of the legislature has no appreciable effect in diminishin the fearful array of words which fall from the lips of the vclub!e orators. In burd• ening the House with their unintereoho , speeches sonic of these"obstructors of busi ness have a sinister object iu view—a pro longation of the session beyond a hundred days, so as to enable them to make a sec ond dip into the tre:isury to the tune of ten dollars a day. Many of the reticent members who would talk if they could, look on this wordy exhibition approvingly for the same reason. These favorable to a long session cannot conseal their senti mews, and in fact some of them who do not expect to be returned, boasts of a de termination not to vote for an adjourn ment until all the business is considered (it matters not how unimportant it maybe) if the result. cannot be accompli,shed until Juric. They would probably .'fight it out on that line all summer" but tOr the fact that no provision is made ter their pay ment after the expiration of 150 days . This class—and it comprises a majority of the members of the House—is incessantly at work inter,)osing obstacles to legislative progress rather than to promote it. They are always ready to encourage dilatory motions, vote fir short sessions and frown down propositions to devote more ',curs to work. During the entire session no bus iness has been done on Saturday and com paratively little on Friday and Monday. Efforts have been wade to hold meetings on Friday afternoon and Saturday, but they have met with but very indifferent support, The legislature costs the State about $3,000 a day, and if no adjournment should be effected until the opening of the Centennial, the 10th of May—which many think would be a good day to dispense— tho State would be involved in an expenee beyond that of a regular session of over $BO,OOO. One of the objects of the Committee on Appropriations in keeping back the gen eral appropriation bill is to prevent it from being passed with the feature setting -aside $375,000 for expenses of the legis lature in it. On Thursday, when the sec tion making the above provision was leached, the Chairman had its considers tiortrstptuiel- - for a - n that- , time shall arrive it is expected that tt ma jority will Yealize the necessity of increas ing the amount so as to cover al possible expenses incident to a prolonged session. •Another reason for -the delay in pushing this important bill is to compel the Senate to recede from the position it, assumed by resolution in February that it would 000, Bider no MUSA bills received in that branch after the Ist of April. The House is fully aware of the importance of thu appropriation bill and certain that it can compel the other branch to back down for that'reason. The Senate last week divest ed its calandar of all bills which originated in that body, and if the House had come up - to its duty the Senate would now be ready to adjourn finally. From present indications it will reluctantly be in session four or fi'e weeks to accommodate the House. . Some idea may be formed of the volu bility of the members of the House from the fact that that great literary production, ycleped the Legislative Record, has reached nearly 1400 pages, largely Made up of de bate, costing the state thus far $14.000, which amount will be nearly doubled be fore the expiration of the session. The price is $10.40 a page, $3OO less than un der the previous contract. Did the old rates prevail at least $15.00 would be made out of this job, $B,OOO or $9,0d0 more than will be netted under existing rates. The state capital is not to be removed to Philadelphia, after all, the Senate last week having indefinately postponed the bill having this object in view. The vote was close---sixteen for and fifteen against. The bill provided for the removal in case the people ratified the action of the legis lature at the polls, and Philadelphia agreed to furnish the site and necessary buildings, without cost to the State. Even had the bill passed it is doubtful if Philadelphia Would hive agreed to assume this vast financial responsibility. Among the bills favorably reported in the House last week was one making an appropriation of $5,000 to the Pennsylva nia State Agricultural Society for a dis play of implements and field trials. A Proviso compels the transfer of $l,OOO to the Pennsylvania fruit growers society for Centennial purposes. The appropriation bii!l relative to the Centennial contemplate a drain on the state treasury of about $125,000, several of the bills have already received the sig nature of the governor. There was much doubt a short time ago that the bill ap propriating $60,000 fur a military display T.:ot . .11(1 bc tit:Feat - ed.
