In pursuance of a resolution of the Republican State Committee, adopted at a meeting held in Harrisburg, this day, a Republican State Conven tion, to be composed of delegates from each Sena torial and Representative district, to the number to which each district is entitled in the Legisla ture, is hereby called to meet in the city of Harris burg, at 12 o'clock noon, on Wednesday, August 29th, 1877, for the purpose of nominating candi dates for Supreme judge, State Treasurer and Au ditor General, to be voted for at the ensuing gen eral election on the sixth day of November next. By order of Committee. HENRY M. HOYT, A. WILSON NORRIS, Chairman. Secretary. A WORD TO OUR PATRONS. For the last two years our patrons have been repeatedly reminded, by parties in in terest or their friends, that all advance payments made to the firm of J. R. Dur borrow & Co., might result in loss to the party making payment, on the ground that seven-twelfths of the office belonged to J. Hall Musser, who might get control,at any time, and that absolute loss to the patron would be the result. The litigation, grow ing out of this claim, came to a climax on the 11th inst., in the supreme Court. Mr. Musser was kicked out of Court with the costs upon his back. This settles the question of ownership for the future, and we appeai to our patrons to come forward and help us to pay the few bills against us and thereby put us beyond the reach of annoyance. Come, friends, and help us out ! We assured you that we intended to control the JOUaNAL just as long as we felt disposed to do so, and we meant to do it at the time, and so far we have kept our word. Come up now and help us! For two years we have carried two-thirds of our subscription list, and now we appeal to you to help us carry the luad. Yours, Most Respectfully, J. R. DURBORROW & 00. WAYNE MCVEAGH'S rejoinder boiled down—" You lie and everybody knows you lie." THE money of the country appears to be hoarded in the Eastern cities and the oentres of trade, and the people cannot get at it. How is it to be got in circulation ?

THERE is no important Foreign news. No battles, of any importance, have been fought, no important movements made and no strongholds captured by capitulation. The Russians are silently investing the Turkish towns and that, save an occasion ai unimportant skirmish, is all that is in the foreign budget of news. THE tilts between those masters of fence, Hon. Wayne McVeagh and Hon. B. F. Butler, have afforded considerable amuse ment for those who appreciate the gaul of bitterness, but it would have been much better, we think, to have hid the whole mat ter under a bushel, or some other effec tive means of hiding it from the public. RAILROAD stocks ar' not improving any, nor is it likely they will fot sometime to come. People have lost all confidence, and the secret transactions, which have char acterised the management of some of the heretofore prosperous roads, is leaking out, and, as a consequence, their stock will tend downward until it reaches its real value.

Wilzig we talk about inflating the ear_ rency, we are told there is abundance of money, but when we ask a man to pay a little bill he assures us that he has none. Now there is evidently something wrong. The money appears to have, in a great measure, gravitated to the cities and the country is left without the necessary circulation. There must be some means found to remedy this evil even if we must go back to the old State or local banks.

Our New York Letter. Horees—The Ring Suits—The Freneh GO to Nets York—The Gamblers—Aro Works—Business. NEW YORK, June 8, 1877. - - EDITOR The racing season was inaugurated last week, with unusual brilliancy. Jerome Park was Jrow d cid with the fashion of the city, and some very good time was made by the steppers. The amount of money invested in fast goers in this city is enor mous. Robert Bonner, the Ledger man, has nearly a half million in this kind of property, some of his horses being worth $30,e00, if they could be bought at all. The Lorillards, the Lenoxes, and all the rich families consider it essential to their standing to have more or loss good horse-fresh, and any fine day there can be seen in the park hundreds of horses who can make time very low down in the thirties, every young man of fashion thinking it necessary to have his fast horse. The late llelmbold had $50,000 in horses when he ex ploded. It is a pretty sight to see the fast horses out on a fine day in the park, and the drives there about, many of the teams being driven by ladies, who get to be as skillful with the whip as their mail escorts. Women all like good horses, and it is a passion with them to drive. There is no bet ter business than the breeding and fitting of fine horses. The most ordinary kind of carriage horses that have any style at all arc worth $1,200 a. pair; and they run from that according to style and training up to $5,000. This without any partic ular speed. Give a horse speed in addition to style, and the lucky breeder may set his own price, and get it. For this grade of stock the market is never overstocked. There are constant ly coming in wealthy men who can afford to pay these prices for what they fancy, and it is now snore than ever the fashion. There are enough of horses, and they sell as cheaply here as anywhere, but good horses are always in detuand,and always at a very high price. The city has compromised with Sweeny, for about one-tenth of what ho really stole. This leaves the Sweonys' rich, but Boss Tweed, it is said by those who profess to know his exact cir cumstances, will be left comparatively poor. But the Boss does not oars for that. He made friends when he had power, and ho believes h., can rally his old followers, and be once more the arbiter of New York politics, All he wants is to get out of jail, and get a chance to utter his war-cry once more. The old gangs who never had so generous a paymaster will rally around him, and he can undoubtedly obtain PO much power in the city to make him essential to the more respectable politi tions. And then it will take no time at all for him to get back all the money he had lost, and more. He is unquestionably the most popular roan in the city; that is, he can get the greatest following among the class who yield political power he-e. He always divided fairly what be stole, and t .e lesser plunderers sigh for his leadership again. They never lived as well as when he was at the head. Ho has had a hard time of it for a few years, but he is still strong enough to make it lively again. Yesterday, the last of the absconders, Richard B. Connelly, compromised with the city, and will return to his native land. Connelly re tune to the city $1,500,600. The real reasons for the settlement is that it costs so much to prosecute these men, that, if the oity should recover all that was stolen, it would inevitably go to the hands of lawyers and for other court expenses. What is gotten now will go to the city direct. It is cari ous, bat defaulters can never stay away from their country. Possessed of millions—Connelly had ail his in bonds—they were still outcasts and vaga bonds. They were admitted to no society, they had no associations except among themselves, and their life was one of constant annoyance and die-- comfort. Connolly has been trying to get back for a year, and he iE doubtless the happiest man to-day on the globe. lie will come back to New York and with his old associates take charge of the Democracy of New York again, and may assist Tilden in another campaign for reform. Visitors to the Philadelphia Exposition will re tuember a colossal bronze arm and hand holding aloft a torch, whioh was on exhi'Ation there. This is a part of a statue entitled "Liberty Enlighten— ing the World," paid for by citizens of Paris, end donated to this country to be set up as a beacon light on Bedloe's Island, at the entrance of the h arbor of the city. The statue is of gigantic si re, and the light from the torch illuminates a vast space. The statue Is here, but Now York is too mean to raise money to set it up. and there is a good prospect that it never will be taken out of the cases. It is a disgrace that the great city has not the courtesy and public spirit to make use of so generous and appropriate a gift. THE GAMBLERS are having a hard time of it. The softs who have heretofore bled for their benefit have not now the money to squander, and the poor gamblers are falling one by one. The effects of John Chamber lain, next to Morrissey the most noted faro bank ers in the city, were sold at auction last week; and the rich furniture of his palace brought very small prices. It was a gorgeous eoneern three years ago. Every night at 12, a supper was set in the place, free to all, that could not have been had at Del monico's for less than $5 a plate, to say nothing of wines. The most expensive dishes, cooked And served lir French satiate, with the most gorgeous service, and in a magnificently appointed room, was free to whoever chose to sit down to it. In those days it was nothing for rich men to lose their thousands there, and Chamberlain was very rich. But he could not avoid gambling himself, and he would invest in race-tracks at Long Branch, and go into a great many speculations, and the hard times came on and fools either hadn't the money or had groan wiser, and so Chamberlain came to grief. Ile is a poor man to-day, and will stay so till the bucket gets full and begins to slop over. Such men only thrive when money is made very easily. Morrisey is more acute. When the times were flush, ho invested his profits in good shape and drew out of all kinds of gambling ex cept that which could be run very cheaply. Some thing like twenty gambling houses have closed within the month, not by law, but by what is stronger than law, hard times. One of them went to Deadwood, leaving three wives and innumera ble creditors. The wives were ignorant of each other's existence, till they all met at his place to see what had become of him. Another found him self ruined one night, and he did the world the only service he ever had, by blowing his brains out, in his rooms where thousands had been ruin ed. Others are keeping bars, that business flour ishes yet, and a great number aro living upon the women they once supported in luxury. It is a bad time for the gamblers. The citizens are vigorously working to have the Authorities prohibit the use of sre-works on the coming fourth and forever after,except such as shall be used by the city in its regular demonstration. It is to be hoped it will succeed. Every Fourth of July the hospitals arc crowded wit`s persons injured by fire-works in the hands of reckless gamine, who delight in them; and every year there is a long list of property destroyed by the same agency. It is no small matter to have a hundred thousand little wretches armed with crac,iters, torpedoes and the scores of other missiles, throwing them every where among horses and men, and into buildings. It is a wonder that the experience of Portland is not more frequently repeated, New York will be spared this terror, this year, and other cities should follow the example. is frightfully bad, and there is every reason to suppose it will so continue till the fall orops move. The South is doing rather more than usual, but the North and West arc buying but little. It will be a dull summer. PIETRO. Letter from Southern Kansas. WINI , IRLD, KANSAS, June let, 1877. M. Editor:—Thinking that a letter from the grasshopper State might be of interest to some of your readers, I ask a space in your columns. We do not propose giving a very minute statement of our trip as almost every one is familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of railway travel. Our first destination was Springfield, Illinois, the capital of the State. We expected to find it a city seeond to none in appearance, but in this we were very much disappointed. The only things that are worthy of note are the State House and Lin coln's monument, the former, it is said, will be the grandest state capitol building in America when completed, having already coat three millions and half. Quincy, on the Mississippi is a flourishing city of forty thousand inhabitants, and possessing every facility for commerce and trade, for an in land town, here is one of the finest parks I have ever seen in the West. A new Court House is al most completed, the basement of which is fitted up with rooms and cells for the accommodation of those who may be unfortunate enough to trespass on the law. The probable cost will be a million and a half or two millions when completed. After five weeks sojourn in different parts of the State we put in an appearance in Hannibal, Missouri. It is also a river town, but situated farther down than Quincy, consequeney they are rival towns in every respect. At Hannibal we took the Missouri, Kansas and Texas R. R. After a ride of eighteen hours we arrived in Parsons, Kansas, where we changed oars for Emporia, Kansas, distance ninety lye miles, we were one day in traveling this dis tance, as we had to board a freight train. We next started for Wichita, Kansas, where we arrived at midnight and wore aeon comfortably housed with the Richey Bros., with whom we were ac quainted when in this State before. The next day while contemplating on the passage from Wichita to Winfield we unexpectedly met J. 11. Cadman, and others from the latter place who were hauling an iron bridge from Wichita to Winfield. We took passage on the wagons, wore one and three fourth days in making the trip of forty-five miles, during which time we were overtaken by a heavy rain storm and were exposed to the elements for six or seven hours, you can well imagine the pitable plight we were in, all because there is no railroad to Winfield. The rivers and smaller streams have been very high for some few days, considerable property, and several lives have been lost. . . Harvest will be later that usual here this year on account of the wet weather. The grain looks well, a large yield is expected. Harvest has com menced here as early as the 9th of June, but will be about the 15th this year. We have scarcely any grasshoppers, and what there are will not be able to accomplish very much in their line, as the farmers are destroying them by burning. Taking everything into consideration the prospects for an abundant erop here are more favorable than any where else that I have seen. In my next I will give you a description of this part of the State more particularly. For the present I will *lose. Yours with respect., • . • . it. B. T4YIrOR. HORSY'. THEL RIFE SUITS A DISGRACE.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL S. THE GOBERT FIASCO.—The Centenni al year introduced M. Auguste Gobart, fits, of Brussels, Belgium, to th, :litizens of Huntingdon. This gentleman came to us as a Commissioner to the Grand American Centennial Exposition of 1876, and therefore, he was regarded as a man of honor and character, and our people at once, without any of the usual hesitancy which charac terizes their conduct towards less noted strangers, gave him our unbounded confidence, and endeav ored to meet all his suggestions and comply with all his requests. He made long and diligent inquiry into the capabilities of this country for manufacturing Plate Glass. He passed from the East to the West, and after extended examinations and tests, settled down to locating Plate Glass Works in the Juniata Valley. He expressed entire confidence in our ability, with our superior facilties, to manufacture Plate Glass of as good a quality as is now manufactured in Belgium and Franca. He pro posed the erection of works, at Huntingdon or Tyrone, stating that the advantages afforded these places in the fact that sand, coal and limestone, all within a radions of a few miles of them, was everything in their favor, and espec!ally was this the ease in regard to Huntingdon where the sand was within five or six miles, the coal within thirty and limestone right at hand—all in inexhaustible quantities. His proposition was to give the place the preference which would be most liberal in en couraging the project. In this way an effort was made to create rivalry between Huntingdon and Tyrone. Mr. Gobert spent weeks in investigating the matter. He received propositions from both places offering the donation of a site at each place. After fully satisfying himself of the exact cost of living, labor, and in fact of everything entering into the problem of life in a manufacturing town, he sailed for Europe, promising to return by the first of January last. Ali this satisfied our people that M. Gobert,f//s, meant business, and that he intended to erect Plate Glass Works some -.where in the Juniata Valley. After his return to Belgium he kept up a cor respondence with some of our citizens and kept them informed in regard to the progress of his intentions. Ile was fiercely assaulted by those in terested in Belgium Plate Glass Works and his motives impugned. His answer to the charges against him was sent over hero and re-published. It was satisfactory and again gave our people confidence. At last, about the first of M -y, M. 3 _aguste Go bert, file, arrived at New with a French Civil Engineer, named M. AcLille Brasseur, and came forward, at once, to this place, with their elaborate plane and specifications, and exhibited them to our people. The land offered to them, as a donation for a site, was promptly rejected and a site selected on the line of the Pennsylvania Rail road, in West Huntingdon, and staked off. The buildings were enormous and our people became intensly interested and with a unanimity, never before manifested, came forward and offered to take stock because they saw in them labor and materials so necessary to their welfare. Mr. Go bert proposed that if the town would subscribe $lOO,OOO, that with the $200,000 which the Bel gians proposed to invest, there would be no trou ble in raising the remainder—s3oo,ooo—in the eastern cities. $600,000 looked like an enormous capital but it was not for Huntingdon to question. She was only asked to raise $lOO,OOO. This her citizens resolved to do and went at it with a will. Her people reasoned that they would be repaid an hundred fold by the mere location of the works. The $lOO,OOO at last was raised, after considerable effort, and leading citizens stood ready to guar antee their payment. Now, then, came the tug of war ! _ _ Mr. Gobert asked for a Committee, of leading citizens, to meet him in Philadelphia to assist him in laying the project before its prominent capitalists. Messrs. Dorris, Fisher and Brown were appointed to visit Philadelphia and did so. The Philadelphians were favorably prepossesed with the project, but were at once struck with the enormous capital required, and insisted upon hav ing estimates made of the probable cost of the buildings, of the machinery and the working cap ital necessary. They were satisfied that the whole thing chould not cost over $300,000 or $350,000, and Huntingdoa having already raised $lOO,OOO and Mr. Gobert alleging that he had $200,000 the project was safe. About this time Mr. Gobert concluded that the works had better be located at Pittsburgh or some other point where they would not question the amont of •money he said was ne cessary for their construction. He went West, bow far authorities differ, but far enough to ascertain that the American people were not such fools as to go into a matter with their eyes closed. He returned to Philadelphia and telegraphed and wrote for a Committee cf Conference. A Commit tee of eight was appointed and seat down to con fer with him. It was not the Committee Mr. G. expected! It was composed of entirely too many persons, and in the searching interviews which were held, it all came out that Mr. Gobert had no money and that he was simply playing a hand some part with the expectation of making a cool $lOO,OOO or so. The Committee was willing to give him a fair compensation, say $50,000, but when it came to paying twice these figures they felt that the demand was unreasonable and they refused to negotiate further. The negotiations, with Mr. Brasseur, up to this writing, have not come to : , nything practicable. We fault Mr. Gobert very severely in not telling us, at once, that he bad no money, and that he simply intended to put in his services, plans, and knowledge of the business as so mach capital.— Then we would have known exactly what to do and what to expect. Many of our people think that ho treated us very badly and are disposed to censure him severely, but we think he simply made a mistake. There is no doubt that he had a right to value his services very highly. He in tended to impart to this country the knowledge of an industry which the French and Belgians have suceeeded in monopolizing for over two hundred years, and which has been to them the source of untold millions of wealth, and the man who would do this ought to be handsomely remunerated, but $50,000, it seems to us, ought to have been suffi cient. The attention which has been attracted to this place, by the agitation of the matterymust lead to the establishment of Plate Glass Works here, sooner or later, and we hope that our people will not cease to agitate until such works aro secured. P. S. Since the above is in type a telegram from Senator Fisher, who is in Philadelphia, assures as that Mr. Brasseur will accompany him to this place on Saturday morning next tc comply with his contract, LITTLI BAREFOOT.—Barefooted boys have made their appearance, and they take particular pains to coat the skin of their pedals with a quantity of the thickest and blackest mud they can find. They are little shavers, and happiness shines out all over their faces on account of the shoes and stockings being laid aside for the warm season. It is an emancipation which the grown readers will recall from the storehouse of memory ; of how years ago, other little boys, who have since battled hard with the problem of life, were so glad to throw aside their foot covering, and enjoy this freedom which comes to the urchin about the time the buds begin to burst. The soles were very tender for a time, but the skin soon hardened ; the toes would occasion ally got stubbed ; but the pain was evanescent ; a stone bruise on the heel was a moral cer tainty, but a fond mother knew how to poultice it at nightfall, and it was soon all right again. How well we remember all this, as we look upon the lads out on the streets running about with bare feet. It all comes back to us now, but our day for enjoying the change has passed away forever. And there was another thing connected with our freedom of those other days, which we still smile at as we recal! it. When com ing home, tired with our clef of play, the feet would somehow be hidden 'rom view under a covering of sticky soil, and the imperative order would then be issued !list the pedals must be cleaned off with soap and water be fore retiring to bed. If there is any one thing connected with boy life that comes amiss it is that regulation regarding the absolute nec essity of washing the feet previous to seeking slumber which comes very promptly to the eyelids of youth. The compensation always came on the morrow though, there was no pulling on of stockings and tedious lacing of shoes and somehow the same feet which were such an annoyance the night before now felt all the better for the cleaning process through w, ich they had been put. ACCOUNTS OF SCHOOL BOARDS.—AU act of the Legislature was passed during the season of 1876, in relation to tl.e publication of the accounts of School Boards, the provis ions of which should be generally known to the directors of public schools, as the penalty prescribed for a violation, or failure to comply with its regulations, is very severe. The fol lowing is the full text of the law, which was approved b) rlov. Flartranft on the Ist. of May, 1876: Sac. L. Be it enacted, etc., That it shall he the duty of each Boar% of School Directors, in the several School Districts of this Common wealth, at the close of the school year, to place in the hands of the proper Auditors a full certified statement, itemized, of their receipts and expenditures for the per,', year, including the assests and liabilities of the dis trict of all kinds, with all boots, papers and vouchers relating to the same, to be by said Auditors examined and, if found correct, approved ; such statement to be spread upon the minutes of the Board of Directors, and in a condensed but fully classified fort publish ed by said Board in not less than ten written or printed hand bills, or if deemed preferable, in the two newspapers of the county in which the district is situated having the largest circulation among the citizens interested ; and for any neglect or failure to perform the duties enjoined by this act, the officers named therein shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding $3OO, to be paid into the School fund of the district in which the offense shall have been committed. SEc. 2.

IMPORTANT INFORMATI ON.—The at tention of parties interested is directed to the following act of Assembly, passed in 1874 Sze. 1. Be it enacted, Ac. That all persons ap plying for letters testamentary or letters of ad ministration shall, before the issue of said lettere, Al, with the Register of Wills an affidavit setting forth, as nearly can be ascertained, the day and hour of decedent's death, to which said letters respectfully relate. Sac. 2. All Registers of Wills are hereby re quired to Ale said affidavits, and also to record said date of death with the other records of said decedent's estate respectfully. Approved, the 15th day of May, 1874. JOHN F. lIARTRAMPT. It often happens that persons come from distant parts fo the country to procure letters testamentary or letters of administration on the estates of decedents, and fail to bring with them any record of the day or date of death, and aro thus compelled to travel home for the necessary information, thus making two trips to the county-seat, when the business could as well have been done with one. Read the above law carefully, and then preserve is for future use.—Ez. Regular Secretion Essential to Health The regular secretion and flow of the gastric juices, and of the bile which the use of llos tetter's Stotaach Bitters promotes, are effects which conduce materially to the restoration of health, when the system is discarded. Food is not digested in the dyspeptic stomach be cause the gastric fluid is deficient, superabund ant or vitiated ;—the liver becomes congested and the bowels constipated because the supply of bile is inadequate or misdirected. The Bitters rectifies all this, and removes every ill consequence of non-assimilation and bilious irregularity. Furthermore, it stimulates the action of the kidneys, by which impurities are so to speak, strained from the blood, and any tendency in the urinary organs to grow slug gish and disordered counteracted. Whether it be used as a mesas of regulating gastric or bilious secretion, and relieving the overloaded bowels, or to promote complete, and therefore healthful, urination, Hostetter's Bitters may be relied upon with confidence to accomplish the end in view. junel-lm.] Great Inducements to Cash Purchasers.

CLAIMS FOR WA.GES.—An important law passed, at the last session of the Legisla ture, provides for giving priority to claims for manual labor on all trials of claims for wages in the courts of this Commonwealth. Hereto fore the claims of workingmen, after getting into court, by being placed at the end of the list of causes, bare often been so delayed from court to court that the plaintiff, from inability to be present when they come up, has been compelled to compromise a just claim to get a matter settled. This new law gives all such claims priority and so far ii a real benefit to the laboring man.—Ez. DXDICATION.—The Ev. Lutheran church, erected at Hawn's School House, in Juniata township, will D. V., be dedicated on the 17th of June inst. Preaching on Saturday at 2P. M., and on Sunday at 10 A. M., by neighbor ing ministers. The public in general is re spectfully invited to attend. JOS. R.
