CABINET CHANGES.
The President surprised the country, on
last Monday, by sending to the United
States Senate the nominations of lion.
Edward S. Pierrepont, of New York, to be
Minister to England, Hon. A.lphonso Taft,
of Ohio, now Secretary of War, to be At
torney General, and lion. J. Donald Cam
eron, of Pennsylrania, to be Secretary of
War. The nominations of these three
eminent men were immediately confirmed
without the usual reference to a committee
The appointment of Mr. Cameron to
the important position of Secretary of
War, is received with universal manifes
tations of approval throughout the old
Keystone State. It is the first appoint
ment of the kind extended to her since
the declination of Mr. Boric, and we all
feel like throwing up our bath and cheer
ing lustily that the President has at last
fully recognized our claim to be represent
ed in the Cabinet. And in the selection
of Mr. Cameron the President has indeed
been most happy. Ile is one of the most
accomplished and successful business men
in the State, and has the confidence of the
entire party.
THE Globe, inspired, no doubt, by the
attorney for the postmaster, very child
and baby like, tries to create the impres
sion that one J. Hall Musser owns this
paper. We do not hold the editor of that
paper responsible for this statement, be
cause he is always at the end of some one's
leading string. Therefore we go to the
head and front—Mr. Speer and his client.
Now, then, when we say that J. Hall
Musser never had any money to invest in
this or any other paper, we say what was
patent to everybody who has known that
precocious young man for the last half
dozen years, and when we say further that
he was a mere straw purchaser of an in
terest to cover the party who furnished
the money we state a fact. He has made
considerable capital out of this matter for
himself, and in addition holds an office
worth $2,800 a year, and has held it for
two years for the "benefit" of this office. We
new give due notice that this thing is play
ed out.
Two sets of Presidential candidates have
been named. The Indianapolis Green
back Convention nominated Peter Cooper,
of New York, and Senator Booth, of Cali
fornia, and the Prohibitory Convention
nominated Green Clay Smith, of Ken
tucky, and Stewart, of Ohio. So we go.
It is hardly necessary to say that the
chances of s. ccess of either of these tickets
will not be enhanced or imperilled very
much by either the Cincinnati or St. Louis
Conventions.
THE success of the Allen faction, in
Ohio, has an ominous look. The St. Louis
Convention is not likely to be as calm as
was sapposed a few weeks ago. Tilden
finds an enraged lion in his path.
OUR reply to the Professor last week
must have wounded his sensitiveness. He
howls. Keep out of the way and you will
rot get hurt.
THE FINANCIAL PROSPECT OF
THE EXHIBITION.
EielToit
i fin pittskir g ii s,,ys it, is
now apparent that the Centennial
tion, materially considered, will be the
most brilliant success in the history of the
world, but it is doubtful whether the en•
tetprise will prove a financial success.—
Probably the managers never expected
that it would be a nioney-making affair,
but they were unquestionably hopeful
from the start that the expenses would be
met by the receipts, and that at the final
balancing of accounts it would be found
that no indebtedness had been incurred.
It is hoped that such an exhibit may be
made, but the prospects are not encoura
ging. Some of the States have neither
contributed a single dollar to, nor express
ed any sympathy for, the affair. The
Empire State made a niggardly contribu
tion, and our own Commonwealth alone
figures prominently for liberality. Without
the generous aid of Pennsylvania the pro
ject, without a doubt, would necessarily
have been abandoned at the end of the
first year. It is estimated that the total
cost will be in the neighborhood of $7,-
500,000. The total number of days from
May 10 to November 10 is 150, not inclu
ding Sundays. In order to realize this
sum at the price of admission, fifty cents,
it will be necessary for 15,000,000 people
to visit it once, or an average daily at-
teridance of 94,900 persons. On the open
ing day the receipts did not exceed $60,-
000. The next day the number of paying
visitors was 16,000, and on Friday less
than 15,000 paid their fifty cents, and the
average daily number has since been about
the same. Possibly this deficit may be
made up late!! in the season, but granting
that there is an average daily attendance
of 50,000 until the Fourth of July, which
is a liberal estimate, there still remains a
daily deficit of 44,900 persons for forty
four days to be made up after that time.
In other words, they have got to hold an
average quota of 94,900 after time and
make up a total deficit of 2,424,600 per
sons. It is doubtful whether this result
can be accomplished. There may be spe
cial occasions when the number will ex
ceed 100,000, but the daily average will
hardly exceed 50,000 the season through.
In estimating the number of people on the
grounds it should be remembered that all
exhibitors are admitted free, and all em
ployees on the grounds. Of the appro
priation made by Congress another instal
ment of $350,000 was paid last week, and
it has already been exhausted in defraying
the expenses of the employees. Of the
whole appropriated but $500,000 remain
to be paid. We do not believe, however,
that the American people, after they have
witnessed the Exhibition, will enter any
protest against the Government's assuming
the indebtedness, if any there be.

THE last Globe squirms worse than a
serpent with its bead crushed, and insists
that we stand in the way of the reconcilia•
tion of the party. This every living ra
tional creature in the county knows is a
base fabrication. We have done nothing,
nor have we uttered anything, within the
last year, that has not been for the benefit of
the party. The leading men of the county
and the state so regard it. It and its fol
lowing went as usual over to the Demo
crats last fall, and took the Postmaster
with them. They are welcome to him,
and the Republicans of Huntingdon
county mean that no creature of this stamp
shall control their organ, and we are quite
sure that no such an one will. If the Globe
wants to collie back for a month or two, as
usual, it can do as it pleases about it. We
assure its editor, however, that it will not
fool any person very badly.
So strict a Sabbatariau as the editor or
the Globe, would not be guilty of any
secular employment on the Sabbath. lie
would not violate the 4th commandment
No, no ! And yet we have never known
his office to be closed on Saturday. One
would think that he would run out on 'the
railroad, and like Slaytnaker's bovine, en
deavor to butt the first engine off the
track that would attempt to pass on that
day, or failing in this would climb the
telegraph pole, in front of his office, grasp
the chained lightning and turn its fiery
current into his salamandrine' bowels, or
run down to the gas tank and leap in and
take in a sufficient quantity to enable him
to fill his next edition. Phew !
WE have served the Republican party
ever since its organization in Pittsburgh,
in 1855, and we have never been known
to fuse with the Democrats. The JOUR
NAL has sustained the regular National,
State and Local tickets, without a scratch,
for five years. What has the Globe been
doing all this time ? Ask Speer. What
is it doing now, pray ? Trying to make
believe that it is Republican so it can
carry off the usual number of votes when
it turns over to the Democrats when the
campaign opens.
WE have received the first number of
The Port Royal Times, published by our
friend John W. Speddy, esq., late of the
Mifilintown independent, at Port Royal,
Juniata county. Tic number . before us
is a very neat specimen of typography.
Success to your enterprige, friend John.
CONGRESSIONAL AND SENATO
RIAL.
The Cnnn.l)::niburg
ILL; th•' SCVCr
al questions of!jeans in
Iluntingdon county
CON6RESSIONAL.—The contest fn• the
nomination of a candidate for Congresi in
this district, has apparently disturbed the
mind of no one else in the long range of
counties compo4ng it, except in Franklin ;
and the Huntingdon .Twzrual says that
-there is sufficient feeling beneath the
surface" in that county "to indicate that
unless some things are fixed up, there will
not be much chance for any Republican
candidate. in this district." This is an
amnions warning and one calcuiated to
cool the ardor of aspirants, but we presume
that Major Pemeroy or Hon. Thad. Mah
on would agree to take the fieldings and
run the risk, provided they are not insist
ed upon to define their position upon the
Huntingdon County troubles. This much
may be said in favor of Mr. Mahon, how
ever should he become the candidate. Bon.
W. S. Stenger will more than likely be
renominated, although it is said that his
chalices will be vigorously contested by
Mr. Speer. If the present member should
be the candidate of the Democracy, Mr.
Mahon would be a good man to place in
the field against him, as the first defeat
Mr. Stenger ever received in this county,
was at the hands of Mr. Mahon. This
was in the memorable and hotly contested
campaign of 1872, when Mr. Stenger was
defeated for the Legislature by a major
ity of 512.
SENATORIAL.—No public announcement
has been made of candidates for the State
Senate, and we have beard of no other
name mentioned in connection with nomi
nation but that of Hon. John Stewart.
Of the qualifications of Mr. Stewart, for
this honorable position, it is unnecessary
for us to speak, as his excellent attain
ments are known to all of our readers. He
was elected to the Constitutional Conven
tion in 1372 by a flattering return, receiv
ing the highest number of votes cast in
the counties of Cumberland and Franklin
8827. He served in that body with great
distinction and no more popular or able
man could be presented for the Senate.
MAJ. PETREKIN has been retained by
the editor of this paper to protect him in
his legal rights and to save, from vandal
hands, the result of five years hard labor,
and this has given mortal offanse to Speer,
Musser, Guss & Co. We are sorry that
the Major has been so unfortunate in his
legal engagements, but it is ever thus with
eminent counsel. Their services are sought
because they are eminently successful and
true to their clients. It has been but a
short time since the editor of the Globe
sought his services, and this may possibly
account for the fact that he has now a pa
per in which to misrepresent him. We
regret very much that our attorney. a per
fect gentleman in every respect, should be
dragged before the public in this boorish
manner
THE Clobesays wo have fbr years abused
such men as Gov. Hartranft, John Cessna
and Harry White. This is not so. There
has never been a line in the JOURNAL
intended, in any way, to reflect upon Gov.
Hartranft. We have dissented from some
of his official acts—only one or two—as
was our privilege. As to Mr. Cessna, he
struck us and we returned the blow, with
interest, and we owe him nothing. We
are willing to call it square and quit. Har
ry White shelved our printing bill and we,
in turn, helped to shelve him. The books
are square. We are for Harry White for
Congress.
THE Republican County Convention in
our daughter, Blair, last week, nominated
an excellent ticket. The following are the
nominees : Hon. B. L. Hewitt, of Holli
daysburg, was presented for Congress;
Hon. John A. Lemon, for Senator; As•
sembly, Capt. Daniel Schock and Col. D.
M. Jones ; Sheriff, James M. Stuffier ;
Prothonotary, Adie B. Hicks ; Poor Di
rector, Edward Bell ; Jury Commissioner,
F. Fink.
THE Globe wants to know whom we did
mean, and, to make the inquiry strong,
precipitates a column and a quarter upon
us. It is enough to repeat that we did
not mean the editor of that paper or any
other Democrat or Fusionist. We will
indicate in due time whom we did mean.
THE Altoona politicians did not succeed
very well at the Republican County Con
vention last week. They having manipu
lated the lion's share heretofore the honest
yeomen made a new deal and Altoona is
sad. Better luck next time.
THE Inflation Platform of the Ohio
Democracy troubles the monied aristocracy
of New York very much. Old Bill Allen
has thrown a bomb-shell into the camp
that has sent New York's favorite to
cover.
THE • Globe says it does not stand in the
way of reconciliation. Of course not. It
has not done so for the last two or three
years, but at each succeeding election it
supports the Democratic ticket.

The New War Secretary.
Serenade Tendered him at his Mansion on
Front street—Remarks of the Mayor,
Mr. Cameron and others.
Last night, says the Harrisburg Potriot,
of the 23d inst., several hundred of the
personal friends of Mr. J. D. Cameron,
appointed secretary of war yesterday, pro
ceeded to his residence to honor him with
a serenade. The delegation was beaded
with the State Capital band. After ap
propriate music Mr. Cameron appeared in
the hall, and Mayor Patterson congratu
lated him on his appointment.
Mayor Patterson said : Mr. J. D. Cam
eron, your fellow citizens irrespective of
party have called to pay their respects to
you on your selection by the President,
and your prompt confirmation by the sen
ate of the United States to the honorable
position of secretary of war, and on their
behalf I extend to you their sincere and
heartfelt congratulations.
J. D. Cameron replied as follows : Mr.
Mayor, I am very much gratified for your
kind words, and while I fully appreciate
the compliment which has been conferred
upon me by the President of the United
States, I just as fully appreciate the kind
ness of this visit. I am not at all well and
you will therefor excuse me from saying
anything exempt to again thank you.
judge Pearson said : Fellow citizens I
have been requested to say a few words to
you on t4e subject of this appointment.—
We may congratulate ourselves as Penn
sylvanians that we have at length succeeded
in having one of the sons of this state
placed in the cabinet of the United States.
We have been looking in vain for anything
of that kind for several years. I have no

so with the honest purpose or soul to do

to the best interests of the great Union of

that he will not have forfeited your esteem,
but reflect honor upon himself' and credit
upon you as his friends.
[Cheers.] •
Judge MeConaughy, of Adams, said :
Fell& Citizens—This call is as unexpected
as my appearance in your midst, and as
unexpected as came the announcement by
the telegraph to-day of the additions to
the cabinet, but I desire to say, as you
have called upon me to speak at the mo
ment, that the events of the day confirm
the judgment of the past history of Gen
eral Grant. iu his wonderful power of dis
crimination in the selection of the men
about him for the execution of the work
he has to do. In all periods of the world
there have been men who have betrayed
their trusts. It has occurred in the past
and must he expected to occur in the fu
ture, but the selection made by General
Grant this day, and confirmed immediately
by the senate of the United States, vindi
cates his character of discrimination in the
selection of the men who shall constitute
his cabinet and his advisers; and I may
say, and I but speak the sentiments of the
people of this community and the people
of this state and the business men of this
country when I say that the selection inr
the appointment, of secretary of war could
not have fallen upon a man of larger ex
ecutive capacity than the wan that has
been selected and confirmed, and the wis
dom of this appointment 1 nut sure will be
justified by the result ; and I confess that
it is a pride to me as a Pennsylvanian, it
is a pride that although she has been
passed by hitherto, now in the crisis, now
in the hour when the country looks for
the selection of the wisest and the best, it
has been to Pennsylvania that the execu
tive of this country has looked; and I ant
proud of the fact that she is represented
io the senate—in the United States senate
—by the same blood that is now to fill the
office of secretary of war, and as the father
has justified the expectations of the state
and the country, so will the son.
[Cheers.]
After music by the band the crowd
separated, and Mr. Cameron retired.
Miscellaneous News Items.
A. witness named G. W. Ferguson iu

Louisana committee makes sweeping allega•
tion of fraud against the custom house of
ficers in New Orleans.
The Michigan Central, says the Detroit
Free Press, during the last five weeks has
sent forward a much larger amount of
through freight east than any preceding
five weeks since it was built.
The works for the reduction ores by
the new Flyer process were put in opera
tion at Grass Valley, Cal., on the 4th inst.,
and an enthusiastic despatch pronounces
the trial a magnificent success, and says,
"there was but ona sentiment heard, name.
ly, that a revolution in mining had been
inaugurated, and the busy times of Cali
fornia would return."
The Titusville herald suspects that a
private reduction has been made in oil
freight charges, on the ground that ship-
ment of oil has advanced upwards of 30c.
without adequate corresponding change at
the seaboard, and that there is no other
means of explaining the phenomenon other
than by the well grounded supposition of
an actual reduction in freights, or that
shipers have had promises, and arc iis
counting the reduction.
Notwithstanding the dubious success
she has acheived at Boston, 'Miss Anna
Dickinson will shortly appear before New
York 'and Brooklyn audiences, though
possibly not in her own play, "A Crown of

her freinds here of the alleged unfairness
of the New York critics with reference to
her Boston performances, but declares her
determination not only to live them down,.
but also to act them down. She will ap
pear in Brooklyn first.
Mr. 11. E. Bowel' dues not share the
prevailing; opinion that the public have had
enough of hini and of all the other parties
to the Beecher businzss, and so we have
authoritative outgivings that he is prepar
ing a final demonstration upon the Ply
mouth church pastor, which will be more
than revenge for his expulsion from the
Plymouth communion. Ile says he is re
leased now from restraints that were im
posed upon him while yet a member of
that congregation, and therefore he will
speak his mind now without reserve or
concealment. Is there really no way to
stop this tart of thing?
In the general assembly of the Presby
terian church of the United States in ses.
sion at Brooklyn, May 19, the committee
on conference with the Reformed synod
reported that the main objects to be ob
tained by the proposed scheme of co-opera
tion could be obtained without it. The
report accepted. Rev. Dr. Breckinridge
protested against the decision of the gener
al assembly of 15'65 which allowed Catho
lics to enter the Presbyterian church with
out being baptized. After debate the pro
test was referred to a committee. The
subject of church members attendinc , balls
and dancing with promiscuous assemblages
was discussed and the matter referred to
the committee ou church polity.
Prof. Riley gives assurance that Mis
souri and Kansas are not threatened with
grasshoppers this season. The French in•
venter of a method to utilize them for fish
bait dries the locusts in the sun, presses
them into barrels, and subsequently smash
(3S them into a paste, which is made into
small balls and thrown into the sea during
fishing operations. The experiments of
Dr. Morvan were considered so important
by the French government that a hundred
barrels of locusts were supplied by the
governor general of Algeria and transport
ed to Britany to be tried on a larger scale
at the cost of the state. The results were
so satisfactory that during the ensuing
fishing season the locust bait is expected to
I be largely used.

Dr. It. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. 1.: Dcar Sir
—lt is with a happy heart that I pen these
lines to acknowledge to you and your Golden
Medical Discovery anti Purgative Pellets are
blessings to the World. These medicines can
not be too highly praised, for they bare al
most brought me out of the grave. Three
months ago I was broken out with ulcers and
sores on my body, limbs and face. I procured
your Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative
Pellets, and have taken six bottles, and to-day
I am in good health, all those ugly ulcers
having healed and left my skin ix a natural
healthy condition. I thought at one time I
could not be cured. Although I can but poorly
express my gratitude to you, yet there a
drop of joy in every word I write. God's bles
sing rest on you arid rout wonderful medicines
is the humble prayer of Yours truly.
JAMES U.BELLIs
When, a medicine will promptly cure such
terrible eating ulcers and free tlie blood of
the virulent poison causing them, Cm can
longerdoubt its wonderful virtues ? Dr. Pierce,
however, does not wish to place his Golden
Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack
patent nostrums by recommending it to cure
every disease, nor does he so recommend it ;
but what lie does claim is this, that there is
but one form of blood disease that it will not
cure, and that is cancer. lie does not recom
mend his Discovery for disease, yet he knows
it to be the most smirching blood cleanser yet
discovered, and that it will free the blood and
system of all other known blood poisons. be
they animal, vegetable or mineral. The Gol
den Discovery is warranted by him to cure the
worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all fronts of
Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions, also all
Granduler Swellings, and the worst form of
Scrofulous and Ulcerated Sores of Neck, Legs
or other parts, and all Scrofulous Diseases of
the Bones, as White Swellings, Fever Sores,
Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases, all of 'Which
belong to Scrofulous diseases.
