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 publican.

Total 'eduction for fiscal year ending this day, $29,249,381—1eav ing a debt, less cash in the Treasury, of $2,099,539,345. 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. WE publish the letter of acceptance of Gov. llayes in another column. It is very favorably received. Head it carefully. Tit E 'NoII - rct 7 ,lll" IS Used iu tho Diantwratic about a thutt and times, -allowing more or kss." to up.e a favorite phrase (pi' Bails Breitman.

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, - Custer's Last Fight. Te:o Hundred and Sistyfive Dead - Sol diers Found— Traces (ye a Desperate 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.
