IT IS TOO BAD.
For the last six months we have scarcely
been able to get money enough to keep
soul and body together. It has been a
constant scrape, day after day, to raise
sufficient to pay the pressing demands of
our business. We would not take a salary
of five thousand dollars a year arid under
go the vexations and annoyances which we
have undergone in the last twelve months.
The panic literally ruined our business,
and the hundreds, yea, almost thousands,
wino are indebted tous, fur some reason,
have failed to pay,-antr we have had to
scramble, hour after hour, half the time
sick at heart, until our head is prematurely
gray, with scarcely any sympathy. from
partizans :or anybody' else, to raise enough
to male ends meet. We would pay a
premium to seethe man who has made a
fiercer _struggle for an existence. Under
these circumstances we have crossed the
Rubicon. - We have destroyed the bridges
behind us. All we now ask is the money
that is due us and we will bid defiance.—
Shall we have it ? Will those who owe
us make an effort to pay up, or will they
see us ekeing out an existence coveted by
neither angels nor devils ? We make this
appeal fur MONEY because we need it as
badly as we have above represented. Will
our patrons respond ? You have been
blessed with good crops, abundance of
earthly goods, the smiles of • Providence;
while we have had to sup the dregs, and
reap the whirlwind, and to encounter
gaunt want. Come, share your fat with
us and get us out the hands of those who
want_ their pound of flesh and want it
badly. Will you help us ? Do not hes
itate—we want money at once. We be
lieve you only want to know that we need
our money and you will' respond imme
diately. Bring it in or send it by the
first neighbor, any way, in faith, so we get
it. tf.
SINCE the issue ofour edition of the 30th
ult., another Century has dawned ! The
glorious fourth has been properly cele
brated and all the ceremonies and pomp
attending it have subsided. Quiet
and stolidity have assumed their wonted
places. Order reigns in Huntingdon.—
And all feel better that the thing is over.
It was a bustin' old time, and it is a pity
that r:o few will live to repeat it a hundred
years hence. But there is no use lament
ing. The anniversary is over the beer
drank, the bunting pulled down and the
patriotism laid aside. Let us go on our
way rejoicing. Hip, hip, hurrah
"Shoo fly, don't bodder me !"
THE Monitor names Doctor OrJady as a
suitable Republican candidate fur Asso
ciate Judge. It might have named a
thousand individuals who would impart
less dignity to the office and bring less
ability to the discharge of its varied and
responsible duties, and, while we feel
thankful to our contemporary for its prac
tical suggestions, yet we cannnot refrain
from gently and Courteously reminding it
that the Republicans can manage their own
household affairs without any suggestions
from that quarter.
THE Globe of Tuesday last contains a
very sensible article entitled "Has not the
Time Now Fully Come ?" in which the
harmony of the party in Huntingdon
county is urged with much force. We
most heartily approve the sentiments con
tained in the article, and are only pre
cluded from copying it by the crowded
state of our columns. We will do so, with
pleasure, next week. The prospect fur a
united Republican vote in this county, at
the approaching election is good.
THE massacre of Gen. Custer and his
command, on the "Little Big Horn" .in
Montana Territory, by the Sioux Indians,
under Sitting Bull, has created a profound
sensation. A report of the terrible affair
is published in another column. Evidently
the sad termination of this brilliant sold-
ier's career was brought about by his
daring recklessness. Already a sufficient
force is on its way to the scat of war to
chastise the Indians, or, if necessary, to
exterminate them.
THE Monitor threatens us with files
of old Globe, in case we should receive a
nomination. If the Monitor wishes to be
come a mere re-print of the Globe, of
several years ago, it will, no doubt, become
much more interesting than usual, but
having survived those articles at the time,
we are not afraid of them when the heat
and passion, which animated them, have
passed away. The sober second thought
will do us justice.
HON. MARSHALL JEWRLL, at the re
quest of the President, has retired from
the Cabinet. The object is to give Indi
ana a Cabinet representation in view of
the approaching election.
THE editor-in-chief of the Philadelphia
Times went to St. Louis to prophesy re
sults. He was voted a bore. He lost all
the prophetical 'reputation lie gained at
Cincinnati.
TILDEN AND HENDRICKS
When last we went to press Gov. Sam
-11.4 .1. Til,len, of New York, had been
nominated fut President, by the Denio.
cratic Convention then in session in St.
Louis. On the day following the nomina
tion of Gov. Tilden Gov. Thomas A. Hen
dricks, of Indiana, was nominated for Vice
President. This, in our estimation, is one
of the strongest tickets that the Demo
cratic party could have selected. Both
men are popular and able. They are rep
resentative men and the best of their
party. We assure our Republican friends
that they are strong and that nothing but
the heaviest, most judicious and effective
work is going to win.
Many of our friends arc disposed to
underate their strength. This is all wrong.
Instead of pooh poohing let us go to work
in good earnest. All the work that we
can do will be required. Great stress is
laid upon the fact that the Liberals are all
back, or nearly so, and therefore we are
safe. We do not so regard it. The labor
ing men are going to decide the next con
test, and they will do it in a measure
without special reference to either party.
To these people the appeals must be made.
If Gov. Tilden is a better representative of
their interests than Gov. Hayes be will
be elected, if; on the other hand, Gov.
Hayes is more acceptable he will be the
next President. There is no denying the
fact that the gulf between capital and
labor is so great that unless something is
done to reconcile labor in the next five
years sanguinary measures may be brought
1 rrto req'aisition. The working people are
•out of employment and are ground to beg
gary with taxes, while the rich invest in
bonds, lives in luxury, and pay no taxse.
Besides all this the offices are principally
filled by the rich, many of whom practice
the most diabolical corruptions until every
honest man feels that he cannot trust that
class of men. Both parties cry Reform !
Reform!! until they are hoarse, but as soon
as the election is over the same old ras
calities are practiced. These things have
disgusted thousands of voters and they
will vote independently. They will be
compelled to choose between Hayes and
Tilden from force of circumstances and
they will he governed by the develop
ments of the campaign.
We state these facts because we desire
to disabuse the minds of our friends who
suppose that we have a "sure thing of it."
Republicans, the only way in which we
can defeat Tilden and Hendricks is by
going to work with a will. Buckle on
your armor and prepare for a most vigorous
fight—one of the most desperate in the
annals of political warfare.
THE Blair County Radical evidently is
sensitive on the "Mysterious Pilgrim" ac
cusation, to which we, in self defence, a
year or two ago, gave currencYond which
has lately been revived by the ,Register.—
As far as we were concerned we had dis
missed the whole matter from our recollec
tion, but not so the Ridical. It takes
the occasion of our announcement for the
Assembly to rap us over the nuckles. We
assure it, however, that we are not afraid
of conspiracies nor of deceptive eleventh
hour cards. They have had their day.—
If we arc willing to take the risk it should
be the last to prophesy evil. It is injustice
to us as well as in most wretchedly bad
taste.
TUE Democratic louse of Representa
tives has gone into the buncombe business.
It has passed the bill equalising Bounties.
The Republicans used to have a monopoly
of this thing but the Democrats have at
last taken it off their hands. The Demo
crats used to oppose it to a man. It
might, very properly, be entitled a bill for
the relief' of Claim Agents. „Every sen
sible person knows that the finances of the
country are in such a condition that the
provisions of the bill could not be carried
into effect.
J. R. Durborrow, esq., editor of the
Huntingdon Journal, announces himself
as a candidate for the nomination of As
sembly at the next Republican County
Convention. If true Republicanism and
hard work in the party arc to be taken
into consideration, brother Durborrow will
come out with flying colors.—Fulton Re

TWENTY years ago lion. Lot M. Mot._
rill left the Democratic party, and now the
Monitor calls him a renegade. If Mathu
sala had e)matittei a similar grave of
fense, in his infancy, in his 000th year, if
the Monitor had been in existence, it
would have reproached him with a similar
appellation. The Monitor has a very clear
conception of the eternal fitness of things.
TrrE illmiltnr is evidently very much
alarmed lest we should receive a legisla
tive nomination and therefore threatens
us with files of old ' Wohes. It fears
that it might not b• 3 able to keep all the.
Speer Democracy from voting for us, to
say nothing of anti. Speer Democrats.
THE Public Spirit, a new semi-weekly,
just started at New Castle, Penna., has
been received. It is independent in all
things—neutral in nothing. It is gotten
up handsomely and contains full report s
of general and local news. Success attend
it.
The Monitor thinks that we could only
be nominated by the grace of Woods and
Orlady. This is a mild way of introdu
cing these gentlemen into the campaign.—
In a few weeks it will be naming them in
every line. It is the same old trick, but
it won't win this time.
TnE Monitor grows witty over the
spontaneous movement in favor of the
nomination of Mr. Fisher for State Sena
tor. .Its wit will be less pungent when
Mr. Fisher is elected.

Gov. Hayes' Letter of Acceptance
Cotr men, Ohio, July 8. 1576. lion. Eflomed McPher
son, fist. Ma. A. Hoz ord, Hon. Jos. H. Raineg and
others, Committee (tithe Republican National Convention
—GINTLEMEN In reply to your official communication of
Jane 17, by which lam informed of my nomination for
the office of President of the Uuited States by the Repu te
lican National Cenvention at Cincinnatlj accept the nom
ination with gratitude, hoping that under Providence I
shall be able, if elected. to execute the duties of the high
office as a trust for the benefit of all the people. I do not
deem it necessary hi enter upon any extended examina
tion of the declaration of the principles made by the con
vention. The resolutions are in accord with my views,
anti I heartily concur in the principles they announce. Iu
several of the resolutions, however, locations are consid
ered which are of such importance that I deem it proper
to briefly express my convictions in regard to them.
The fifth resolution adopted by the convention I. of para
mount interest. More than forty years ago a system of
making appointments to office grew up, based upon the
maxim "to the victors belong the spoils." The rule, the
true rule that honesty, capacity and fidelity constitute
the only real qualifications for office, and that there is no
other claim, gave place to the idea that party services were
to be chiefly considered. All parties In practice have
adopted this itystem. It has been essentially modified
since its first introductitn. It has net, however, been im
proved.
At first the President, either directly or through the
heads of departments, icicle all the appointments, but grad
ually the appointing power in many cases passed into the
control of members of Congress. The offices in these cases
have Leconte, not merely rewards for party services, lint
rewanls for services to party leaders. This system de
stroys the independence of the separate departments of the
government. It tends directly to extravagance and offi
cial incapacity. It is a temptation to dishonesty. It hin•
dens and impairs that careful supervision and strict tic
cu intabi iity by which alone faithful and efficient public
service can be secured. It obstructs the ptumpt removal
teed sure punishment of the unworthy. In every way it
degrade,' the civil service and the character of the govern
ment. It is felt, lam confident, by a large majority of the
members of Con-rern to be au intolerable burden and an
unwarrantable hindrance to the proper discharge of their
legitimate duties. It ought to be abolished. The reform
sllollld be thorough, radical and complete. We .1 Id re
turn to the principles and practice of the founders of the
government, supplying by legislation when needed that
which was formerly to established custom. They neith
er expected nor desired from the public officer auy
parti
ean service. They meant that public officers should owe
their whole, service to the government and to the people;
they meant that the officer should be secure in his tenure
as lung as his personal character remained untarnishe I
and the performance of his duties satisfactory. If elected
conduct the administration of the government up
on these principles and all constitutional poweni vented
in the Executive will lot employed to establish this reform.
The declaration of principles by the Cincinnati Con
vention, makes no announcement in favor of a single
Presidential terni. Ido not assume to add to that deelit
nttion, lint believing that the restoration of the civil ser
vice to the system established by Washington and followed
by the early Presidents can be best accomplished Icy an
Executive who is under no temptation to use the patron
age.'" his office to promote his own re-election, I desire to
perform what I regard as a ditty in stating now my inflex
ible purpose, if elected, not to be a emendate for election
to a second term.
TIII: QUZSTION.
Ott the currency question I have frequently expressed
my views in public, and I etand by my record on 'his sub
ject. I regard all the laws of the United States relating to
the payment of the public iudelitednese, the legal tender
watts , included, as constituting a pledge and moral obliga
tion of the government, which must in good faith be kept.
It is my conviction that the feeling of uncertainty, limp
arable from an irredeetnab!e paper currency, with its fluc
tuation of values, isone of the great obstacles to a revival
of confidence and huskies, and tc a return of prosperity ;
that uncertainty can be ended in lint one way, the re
sumption of specie payment; Lut the longer the instabili
ty connected with our present money system is permit
ted to continue the greater will be the injury indicted up
on our economical interests and all classes of society. If
elected I shall approve every uppropriate measure to ac
-I,IIIIdiSII the desired mid and shall 'nip., any step back
ward.
The resolution with respect to the public school system
is one which should receive the hearty support of th 3
American people. Agitation upon this sultject is to he
apprehended until by constitutional amendment the
schools are placed beyond all (hanger of sectarian control
or interference. The Republican party is plfSigell to se
cure such an ametnduu•ut. The resolution of the conven
tion on the subject of the permanent pacification of the
country and the complete protection of all its rilmmeas in
free enjoyment atilt their constitutional rights, is timely
and of great importance.
CONDITION OF THE SOUTH.
The condition of the Southern States attracts the atten
tion and commands the sympathy of the people of the
whole Union in their progressive recovery from the ef
fects of the war. Their first necessity is ;in intelligent
and honest aulministration of government, which will
protect all closes of citizens in all their political and pri
vate rights. What the South most needs is "peace," and
peace depends upon the supremacy of law. There can be
no enduring peace if the constitutional rights of any por
tion of the people are habitually disregarded. A division
of political parties resting merely upon distinctions of
race or upon sectional lines, is always unfortunate, and
may be disastrous. The welfare of the South alike with
that of every other part of the country depends upon the
attractions it can otter to labor, to immigration and to
capital, but laborers will not go and capital will not be
ventured where the constitution and the laws are set at
defiance and distraction, apprehension and alarm take the
place of peace-loving and law-abiding social life. All
mats of the constitution are sacred, and must bo sacredly
observed, the parts that are new no les* than the parts
that are old. The moral and material prosperity of the
Southern states can be most effectually advanced by a
hearty and generous recognition of the rights of all by
all, a recognition without reserve ur exception. With
such a recognition fully accorded it will be practicable to
promote by the influence of all legitimate agencies of the
general government the effort of the people of those States
to obtain for themselveS the blessings of honest and
capable local government. If elected, I shall consider it
not only my duty, but it will be my ardent desire to labor
for the attainment of this end.
Let me assure my countrymen of the Southern States
that if I shall be charged with the duty of organizing an
administration, it will be one which will regard and
cherish their truest interests the interests of the white
and of the colored people both and equally, and which
will put forth its best efforts in behalf of a civil policy
which will wipe out forever the distinction between North
and South in our common country. With a civil service
organized upon a system which will secure purity, ex
perience, efficiency and economy, a strict regard for the
public welfare solely in appointment , , and the speedy,
thorough and unsparing prosecution and punishment of
all patine officers who betray official trust ; with a sound
currency, with education unsectarian and free to all, with
simplicity and frugality in public and private affairs, and
with a traternal spirit of harmoney pervading the people
of all sections and classes, we may reasonably hope that
the second century of our existence as a nation will, by
the blessing of God, be pro-eminent as an era of good
feeling and a period of progress, prosperity and happiness.
Very respectfully your fellow citizen,

Contest—The Pitiful History of the Fa-
tot Encounter. -
-
The defeat of General Custer and the
annihilation of one wing of the Seventh
cavalry by the Sioux, continues the event
of the day. The news in all essentials is
confirmed, it also appearing that the other
division of the regiment, under Major
Reno, suffered very severely, and was only
saved from entire destruction by the arri
val of Gen. Terry. Gen. Custer seems to
have miscalculated the numbers of the
savages and the time at which Major Reno
was expected to have taken his part in the
joint attack.
The command reached the Indian camp
on the little Horn on June 25. Major
Reno, with three companies, attacked on
the south, and was repulsed, the loss in
cluding Lieutenants M'lntosh and Hodg
son, Dr. Dewolf, and fifty men killed and
five wounded. Captain Benteen's command
made for the bluffs across the river, and
was saved from instant destruction by the
timely arrival of a battalion. General
Custer, with five companies, attacked the
lower part of the camp, down the river
some four or five miles from Reno's ford.
They were repulsed at the ford, but made
a gallant defense among the bluffs. The
command was exterminated.
The loss is 13 officers and over 200 then.
The balance are missing, but are probably
killed. General Custer, Colonel Custer,
Colonel Keogh, Colonel Yates, Colonel
Cook, Captain Smith, Lieutenant Critten
den and Dr. Lord were killed, also Custer's
brother Boston and nephew, and the Her
fild's correspondent, Kellog,g. Lieutenant
Harrington is missing. Caster's express
ion was serene. About 3,000 warriors
were engaged. The Indians suffered a
heavy loss and abandoned an immense
store of supplies. Reno's and Benteen's
command entrenched themselves and were
under a murderous fire until the evening
of the 26th. The men were saved by the
opportune arrival of General Terry. Gen
eral Custer underestimated the enemy,
separated his force, and was defeated in
detail. He probably misjudged the time
necessary to make the distance between his
own and Reno's fbrce, thus losing the
moral effect of a simultaneous attack.
CHICAGO, July 7.—An account of the
Custer massacre, received from the mouth
of the Big Horn river, dated July 1, says:
At noon, June 22, Gen. Custer at the bead
of his fine regiment, consisting of twelve
veteran companies left his camp at the
mouth of the Rosebud river .to follow the
Sioux whom he believed were in force.
On the 26th Gen. Terry with Gibbons'
cotion,ind. wcaried nothing
marches. were met by Clew scouts who re
ported the massacre of Custer's command
which, however, was not credited. Still
the report was not disregarded and next
morning at an carl7 hour the heal of the
column entered a pl tin. hair a 'nil,: wide
and bordering. II!) 61., left, bank of the Lit
tle Big 11 , 9.11 river. w here had reetmtly
been a larvae Indian village, extending
three miles :elan; the stre•ern , awl while
were still standing- several lodges with
hores slai.4thtered arou:el them. lief eon
taining the bodies of nine chiefs. The
ground was strewn everywhere with car
casses of horscA and cavalry equipments,
beside; buffalo robes, packages of dried
meats, and weapons and untils belonginp,
to the Indians. On this part of the field
was found the clothing. of Lieutenants
Sturges and Porter, pierced with bullets,
and a blood stained gauntlet belonging to
Cot. Yates. Further on were found bodies
of men, among whom were recognized
Lieut. M'lntosh, the interpreter from
Port Rice ; and Reynolds, the guide. The
slopes were dotted over with bodies of men
and horses. On a bluff near by waiting
for relief was found the remnant of the
Seventh cavalry under ('ol. Reno, who
greeted Terry with hearty cheers. They had
been fighting from Sunday noon, the 25th,
until the. night of the 2Gth, when General
Terry's command scared the Indians off.
They were not aware of Custer's defeat
While preparations were lacing made for
the removal of the wounded a party was
sent on Custer's trail to look for traces of
his command. They found awaiting them
a sight to appal the stoutest heart at a
point about three miles down the right
bank of the stream. Custer evidently at
tempted to ford and attack the village
from the ford. The trail was found to
lead back, up to the bluffs and to the
northward as if the troops had been re
pulsed and compelled to retreat, and at the
time had been cut off from regaining the
forces under Reno. The bluffs along the .
right bank come sharply down to the water
and are interspersed by ravines. All along
the slopes and ridges and in the ravines,
lying as they had fought, line behind line,
showing where defensive positions bld
been successfully taken up awl held till
none were left to fight, there huddled in a
narrow compass horses and nwn were piled
promiscously. At the highest p,,int of the
ridge lay Custer, surrounded by a chosen
band. Here were his two brothers and
his nephew, 31r. Reed, Colonels Yates and
Cook and Captain Smith, all lying in a
circle of a few yards, their horses beside
then►. The last body iimnd was that of
Kellogg, correspondent of the Bismarck
Triliune and New York Herald. Two
hundred and sixty.one bodies have been
buried so fhr.
The Indians for more than twenty-four
hours allowed the garrison no rest and in
flicted some lust. But for the timely arri
val of relief the command would have been
cut off to a man. the number saved with
Reno was 329 includimr 51 wounded.
The loss among the Indians was prob-
ably considerable. as bodies have been
found in every direction, and they left be
hind only a small portion of their dead.
We remained nearly two days on the sune
of this disaster to bury the dead and pre
pare for taansporting the wounded to a
place of safety. The neighboring country
was still full of scattering bands of Indi
ans watching our movements and doubt
less prepared to take advantage of any
want of vigilance to add to the number of
their, victims. A species of rude horse
litter was constructed of poles and strips
of hide and in these the disabled were car
ried twenty miles to the fords of the Big
Horn, where they wore placed on board
the steamers, and last night they were
brought down to the junction with the
Yellowstone. To-morrow the steamer will
convey the poor fellows to Fort Lincoln.
Gen. Gibbon's cavalry followed the Indi
ans for about ten miles and ascertained
that they moved to the south and west by
several trails. A good deal of property
had been thrown away by them to lighten
their march and was scattered for many
miles over the prairie. Many of their dead
were also discovered secreted in ravines,
amongst them, Arapahoes and Cheyennes.

All of the limner= were of the
"well-to-do" sort, and some of them,
who have turned their attention to
fruits and market gardening, have
grown rich. The soil is loam, vary
ing from sandy to clayey, and Mit -
face gently undulating, intersected
with small streams and occasional
wet meadows, in which deposits of
peat or muck are stored, sufficient
to fertilize the whole upland surface.

The geologist would soon discov
