A HEAVY snow storm prevailed on Mount Washington, on Monday the 3d last. WILLIAM H. BOOTH is a practical man, and will make a most excellent county surveyor. His election is as sure as fate. CRAZY HORSE, one of the hostile chiefs, has gone to the "happy huntinggrounds." He died from wounds received while at temptiug to escape from his captors. GEORGE A. BATES, EfiQ , Bon in-law of D. J. Morrell, and Assistant General Manager of the Cambria Iron Company, died at his residence, in Johnstown, on Friday last. E. L. DAVENPORT, who died at Can ton, Pa , on the lst inst., was buried in New York on Wednesday of laq week. The obsequies of the dead actor were very imposing. THEE is a pretty geoeral diPposition over the State to give members of the Lower House of the Legislature only one term. Their term now is equal to twb former terms. Tux official report to (governor Hut- Tann, shows that four of the Philadelphia troops were killed in rittsbar g h during the riot. These were Lieut. J. Dorsey Ash, W. S Giles, Alexander Miller, and Y. H. Stevenson WILLIAM CAMERON, ESQ.., brother of ex-Senator Simon Cameron, died at his residence, in Lewisburg, Pa., on Monday morning last, in the 84th year of his age. His death was caused by a =neer in the foe, from which he had suffered for years. FRANK LULLS, the well-known pub -I:sher, has made an tssigameet for the benefit of his creditors. His liabilities foot up $320,000. His ditfereht publications will be issued by his assignee, and it is thought that his creditors will finally be paid in full. IT is reported that the Democrats in the Lorn End of the oornty, are extremely anxious to trade off one of their candidates for Diiector of the Poor. The proposition is to vote for squire Harper provided Re publicant will vote for Mr. Star. This is done with a v,_tv to sel•uring a Democratic Poor Director and electing both from that section. Our Republican friends had bet ter "nip this thing in the bud." M. S. LYTLE, ESQ., one of our dela gates to .he Covvention,was honored by a Secretaryship of thr. t august body and filled the bilt to the letter. Mr. Lytle is an applicant fot the Secretaryship of the Republican State Central Committee, and we take pleasurd in recommending him for the place. le is eminently fitted for the position both by education and experience. He is syster-at;~ in his habits and extreme ly industrious, packed .4ith geo•. judgment and tact. 17e hope he may ire selected. Tuxa: will be no JeTl3BBol' to Brigham Young chosen •_.t, tresent. A meeting of the Apostles will, hel' at Salt Lake on the 7th inst., at whiva Daniel H. Wells and John W. Yount counsellors to Brigham, were present, and steps taken for the fu ture ma .agenient of the Mormon Church. It was arranged that a quorum of Apeeties next in order to the President assume con trol of the Chureh, Wells and JoJn Young acquiescing. The meeting was amicable, and the -rrangenients are satisfactory to all present, and doubtless will be to the Mor mons generally. John Taylor, the first of the Apostles, is virtually the head of the Mormon Church. A committee was ap. pointed to manage the financial affairs un til October G. when the semi-annual Church Conference will be held and a Trustee in Trust elected. REPUBUCAN STATE CONVEN- • .. - ZDITOIt Elsewhere in this paper will be found the proceedings of the Republican State Convention which convened, on the sth inst., at Harrisburg. The proceedings in dicate that there was not as much harmo ny of' feeling as might have been expected. The smouldering issue between Hartranft and Cameron was almost fanned into a blaze and thereby a fight precipitated. This . we regard as the result of very bad gener alship on the part of the friends of Hart ranft. It is probable that the latter's lieu tenants were rash and inconsiderate. It was the most ridiculous folly to suppose that by rushing Hartranft into the breach that Reeder could be saved. Such a course was only calculated to exhibit a weak ness that was humilitating. But, then: there is no accounting for the stupidity of some people. The nominations are excellent. The merits of the candidates have been discuss ed for months, and if there had been any weak points they would have come to the surface long ago. In fact for several months the nomination of Judge Sterrett and Hon. Wm. B. Hart have been con ceded without scarcely s word of opposi tion. If there had been any respectable reason why either should not have been nominated it would have been urged by every paper from the Ohio to the Dela ware. The only contest was between Roe der and Pasamore. And it was supposed one was enlisted under the banner of Cameron and the other under the colors of Hart ran ft. It was this feature of the fight that made it doubly interesting. It was a very unequal contest, however. Lear and Norris, scarred veterans as they are, were not equal to the task of saving their favorite, and while Norris, all booted and spurred, dash ed into the arena and shivered his lance to atoms, it was all to no purpose. Pass more carried off the ribbon, and is present ed to the Republicans as their candidate for Auditor General. Ile deserves success for the brilliant fight he made. and if the Republicans are true to themselves he will be our next Auditor General. The Platform—barring one plank—is an extremely good one. It is not a mere fence of words for the purpose of conceal ing ideas. It meets the leading issues of the day fairly and expresses no doubtful or uncertain positions. Evidently much labor was spent upon it.. The object was to con ciliate and harmonise the party. To the last clause of the ninth plank we most seriously object. If the Republican party undertakes to carry the monopolizing corporations of the State it will be crushed so effectually that its future will be exact ly the opposite that of Truth's. It is a well known fact, that the groat corporations have secured all manner of legislation in their behalf, and stand ready to secure as much more as will completely hedge them in, and having done this, then the Repub• lican party is to stand by them and screen them in their safe retreat. Please count us out. We are not of the number who feel disposed to acquiesce even after we are bound hand and foot. Some old philoso pher, who war in almost a similar position, shouted: "Liberty or death I" and his fu neral may have taken place, but Liberty survived ! This plank could only have been injected into the belly of the platform at the instance of the corporations through some one of their obsequious attorneys. It was uncalled for, entirely out of place, and when closely examined is a reflection on every one who sympathized with the starv ing multitudes during the late strike. It reflects the sentiments so cogently put by the Railroad Ling in his article in the North American Review. The idea boiled down, simply means that the government must keep a standing army to protect rail road property. Any private business man, employing a largo number of persons might, with equal propriety, demand a military force to beep his outraged and in dignant employees in subjection. If a pri vate individual cannot succeed in managing his employees universal verdict is, gen erally, that he is not fit for the business and ought to give way to some one who is. Taking the nominations and the Plat form as a whole —barring the specified ob jection—the Republican party, in our esti mation, could not go into the field with better leaders and as the advocates of more wholesome measures. The party will have to commence organizing at once and con tinue at it until the close of the campaign. It will take almost superhuman efforts to arouse the yeomanry, and if it is to be done at all, it must be begun at once. STATE LABOR CONVENTION. The State Labor Convention met, in secret session, at Harrisburg, on Monday last, with about thirty delegates present, and was organized by electing Thos. W. Sparr, of Schuylkill county, permanent President. The following is a synopsis of the platform adopted : The first' resolution calls fur the abolition of the national banking system, the un• conditional repeal of the specie resumption act of January 20, 1875, and the issue of a currency by the Government, based upon the wealth of the whole nation. Second, Eight hours as a nominal day's work, and legal punishment for violations. Third, Sanitary inspection of all con ditions of labor. The fourth calls for the enactment of tariff laws for the encouragement and pro tection of American industries against competition with foreign labor and capital. The fifth for the establishment of a Bureau of Labor Statistics in all the States, as well as by the National Government, officers to be taken from the ranks of labor organizations. Sixth, Equalization of taxes . Seventh, The abolition of the contract system on municipal, State, and national works. Eighth, Prohibiting the employment of prison labor. Ninth, The enactment of laws making employers responsible for injuries to their employes through carelessness. Teeth. That public lands be reserved for aetual settlers. Eleventh, That Courts of Arbitration be established for the settlement of dis. pates between capital and labor, or em ployers and employee, as strikes are aisas trous to both. The twelfth eels for compulsory educa tion, and against the employment c,f children under fourteen years of age in industrial establishments and workshops. Thirteenth, The abolition of all con spiracy laws. TION. The fourteenth calls for gratnitons edu cation in educational institutions. The fifteenth recommends the principles of co operation ,distributive and productive, as eminently calculated to improve the condition of the people. The following neminakiens were made : Judge of tho eciptemetourt, Wm. L. Elwell, of Columbia County. t. Auditor General, John M. Davie, of Pittsburgh. State Treasurer, James L. Wright, of Philadelphia. "THE TWICE-A-WEEK," published at Miffiintown, Juniata County, by- D. W. P. Murphy, esq., late of the Philipsburg Journal is a very creditable venture. It is after the style of the Local News of this place, and the Carlisle Mirror. Hunting don has been the mother of this sort of journalism and it is fast spreading all over the country. It is a severe thorn in the side of the old papers but it will have to be endured. It is bound to be successful if properly conducted. The Twice a :Deck will accept our best bow. AT the rate which the Russians have been driving the Turks out of Europe, for the last three months, it will take them at least five hundred years. It is a bigger job than the Muscovites thought it would be. The losses of the Russians have been fearful. It is thought that the Spring field and Henry rifles have much °to do with the success of the Turks. POLITICAL CHOW-CHOW. President Hayes spent Monday at his home in Fremont. The workingmen of Perry county will endorse the Republican candidate for Sheriff. Wendell Phillips has been nominated for Governor by the Greenback party of Massachusetts. The Democrats, as usual, have carried the election in California, but by a largely decreased majority. A Lewistown correspondent of the Al toona Tribmne, recommeada Got. Hart rauft for U. S. Senator. Stanley 'Mathews and Thomas Ewing are to jointly discuss the political issues of the day in several of the cities and large towns of Ohio. The rumor now is that Mr. David Cald well will remove his Globe to Huntingdon , in the spring, and convert it into an anti Speer organ.—Blair County Radical. Cambria county Temperance men mel on Friday of last week and elected fourteen delegates to the State Temperance Conven tion to be held at Harrisburg on the 12th pro:. It is amusing to hear men champion the cause of the laboring men who never did a day's work in their lives, and who would starve if they had to make their living by manual labor. Senator Morton, who has been danger ously ill for two weeks past, is slowly re covering, and it is expected that be will be able to occupy his seat at the opening of the extra session. On Monday last the Democracy of Blair county, met in convention to nominate a candidate for the legislature in place of the late Cu!. Jones. The empty-honor of a nomination was conferred upon Mr. John E. Bell. The Huntingdon county Labor Reform ers arc more liberal than their brethren in this county. There the new party is run by L. S. Geissinger, a lawyer, who wrote .and read the resolutions. But, possibly, the Huntingdon Labor Reformers think their lawyers need reforming.—Blair County Radical. The Democrats of Mifflin county met in EVonvention, at Lewistown, on Monday last, and placed in nomination the following ticket : Prothonotary, A. C. Mayes ; Reg. ister and Recorder, W. V. B. Coplin; District Attorney, J. F. McClure; Direo tor of the Poor, Samuel Awrand; County Surveyor, W. J. MeManigal. W. W. Trout, of the Sentinel, was chosen chair. man of county committee. Republican State Convention, Full and Accurate Report of Proceedings. Sterrett, Passmore and Hart Nominated. The Republican State Convention as sembled at Harrisburg on Wednesday, the sth inst., and at 12 o'clock, Maj. A. Wil son Norris, Secretary of the State Com mittee, in the absence of Colonel Hoyt, the Chairman, called the Convention to order. The roll was called by Ezra Lukens, As sistant Secretary of the State Committee, which, after being responded to, Hon. E. W. Davis, of Philadelphia, nominated Hon. A. M. Brown,of Allegheny, for Temporary Chairman of the Conven tien, and he was elected by acclamation. az. Brown was escorted to the Chair amidst loud applause, and addressed the Convention substantially as follows : TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS. Gentlemen of the Convention. I thank you for the honor you have conferred on me by calling me topreside overyour delibera tions. Some abler paid hotter qualified gentleman could have been selected to preside over this Con vention; but with your assistance I will bring to the discharge of my duties strict impartiality. I look not upon this as a personal compliment, but as evidence of your desire to honor the grand old County of Allegheny which has ever been tree to the Republican party. Remembering the grand record and high aims of our party, that on her banners ars inscribed: Free speech, free press, free soil, and free men, let us press forward to new triumphs in the future. Let us remember that the mission of the Republioan party is pot completed. It has past errors to correct and pres ent abuses to reform. To attain this end let per fect harmony prevail, so that we may name a ticket and mould a platform, liberal but fair and candid, with which the party may go on to new triumphs. Let us sot in the living present for our country and our party. I thank you for your kindness, and ask that we now proceed to business. Messrs. Ezra Lukens, of Philadelphia, and N. P. Ramsey, of Blair, were elected Temporary Secretaries, with the following subordinate officers : Sergeant-at-Arms—J. C. Delaney. Assistants—R. A. Lucas, Geo. F. Ross, J. P. Eagan, John P. Mellick, Elias Abram; Dennis O'Connell. B. Frank Ma jor, Henry Conner, William Midlam, Thos. W. Jones, W. L. Cooper, Henry Kohler, B. F. Burroughs, H. Adams, Henry Rein hold, W. P. Samll, Geo. Galbraith, Jere miah Stine, Henry Nunnemacher. B. F. Thompson, Oo Kirk, Capt. Orwig. Hon. John Cessna offered the following resolutions : Resolved, That two committees be appointed each consisting of fifty members, to be 'sleeted by the delegates residing in the several Senatorial districts. One of these shell be a committee on Permanent Orgaitiratien, and shall report to the Convention, subject to its approval, a President, and the other officers necessary to a complete or ganization. The other shall be a Committee on Platform and Resolutions, and to it shall he re ferred, without debate, all motions and resolutions on the subject of a platform which may be intro duced into the Convention; and this Committee shall report to the Convention the result of its action for approval or rejection. Resolved, That a committee of seven members be appointed by the Chair, to which shall be re ferred the credentials of all persons claiming seats in the Convention, and which shall hear and de termine all cases of contested seats and 'make re port to the Convention, subject also to its r.,..tifica tion or rejection. Agreed to. Mr. Elliot moved that the rules of the House of Representatives be adopted as the rules of the Convention. Agreed to. • The clerks then called the roll of mem bers, and the members of the above com mittees were named by the delegation. A motion was made by Mr. Leeds, of Philadelphia, to take a recess until 2 o'clock. A motion to amend and make it 3 o'clock was lost. The original motion was agreed to, and the Chairman adjourned the Convention until 2 o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention was called to order by the Chairman at 2:30, and the Committee on Organization presented the following named gentlemen as permanent officers of the Convention : PERMANENT ORGANIZATION President—W.

Ramsey, Jno. M. Ratter, E. W. Smiley, M. S. Lytle, A. J. Newman. Tellers —A. W. Norris, Jno. M'Cullough. The subordinate officers of the temporary organisation were retained for the perma nent organization with the addition of S. W. May and Nathan Aarons for Assistant Sergeants-at-Arms, and Samuel Hughes for janitor. Mr. Armstrong, on taking the Chair, spoke as follows : PERMANENT CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS. Gentlemen of tie Convention. I thank you for the unexpected honor you have conferretlon me. We have assembled under cir cstmetanoes which demand of us the calm consid eration of grave questions which affect all the di versified interests of the Commonwealth. We should discuss them in a spirit of candor and fair ness, and with due remembrance that diversity of opinion is the neoessary attendant upon inde pendence of 0-ought, and that in a body so large as this, unity of action now and harmony in the future will depend largely upon the generosity of consideration which we extend to each others' views. We cope with a party unscrupulous, as it is hungry for the spoils of oboe. They come to this contest with the desperation of a party, mad dened by sixteen years of uninterrupted defeat, and prepared to force a victory by whatever means may insure success. We rosy justly charge upon the Democratic party that they have through years of persistent misrepresentation and for merely partisan pur poses excited unnecessary and unjustifiable an tagonism between capital and labor, until it has culminated in riot and murder, and the unprovoked destruction of millions of property essential to the maintenance of productive industries. They have for some base purposes, in plain vi olation of the truth of history, attempted to arouse • spirit of insubordination, by knowingly and falsely asserting that the President of the United States holds his offset. by fraud. They have fomented discord throughout the Union and perpetuated the embittered strife be tween the North and the South—and have sought, by every means known to political demagogues, to unite the South in hostility to the North, where by the interests of both have been injured, and reconciliation and peace postponed for years. They have, by false and partisan pretense of economy, and by the refusal of the House of Rep resentatives controlled by Democratic majority to ()owner in necessary legislation, defeated the ap propriations necessary to the proper maintenance of the Army and Navy, and the Courts of the United States, whereby the Indian frontier has been exposed to the merciless violence of savage warfare, and peaceable eitisens upon our Southern border exposed to depredations upon their prop erty, and the insecurity of person and life without adequate means of defense. They have left the eoarts without funds to pay ordinary and necessary expenses whereby the ad ministration of the Federal courts was of necessity suspended for a time both in the Supreme Court of the tlnitcti States and in many Federal judicial districts, and have by factions exercise of party power in the House of Representatives thrown unnecessary and vexatious hindrances for party purposes only in the way of national administra tion. They have, for the same purposes, attempted to subordinate the financial policy of the country to politiest success. They have, by repeated and authoritative utteranee• of the party, proved them selves to be without coberenoe of principle' upon any national issue, and their announcements of party policy are as varied as the localities in "'bleb they me proolaime4. We charge them with disloyalty in war, with Insubordination in pesos, with systematic corruption of the ballot, and with total unfitness to administer the govern ment in either the National or State Administra tion. It is our business to see that this demoralised and corrupt party is noir defeated at the polls. Let all minor and personal considerations be lost in ear -united efforts for the public good—and when victory shall again settle upon the banners of the Republican host, we will proudly remember that we-have borne some bumble part in the con tact. _ _ Again thanking you for the honor of the posi tion you have assigned me I invite year eo-opers tion in the effort to discharge its duties with im partial fairness. [Applause.] BZPOIT FROM THE COMMITTEE ON CRE- DENTIALS. The Committee on Credentials offered a report awarding seats in the Convention to H. C. Selby and Edward Hilferty from the Second Philadelphia District ; H. H. Kretehmar from the Fourteenth District, and Wm. Patterson and Richard Campian from the Seventh District. Adopted. Mr. Hilferty then addressed the Con vention, and said he could not consistently accept the seat awarded him when bie col league, who had presented the same evi dence of right to a seat as himself had been denied a hearing. He therefore asked to be excused, which was granted. The va cancy was filled by the appointment' of William Eastburn. A motion was made that the State Com mittee shall consist of one member from each county. Before announcing the re sult of :he vote on this motion a division was called for and the motion was voted down. A motion was made that the State Cen tral Committee be constituted as heretofore. An amendment was offered to leave the naming of the State Committee in the bands of the delegates. Defeated. The original motion was then agreed to. Dr. M'clellan, of Chester, offered the following resolution which was agreed to : Resolved, That in the nomination and selection of oandidates for the positions to be tilled by this convention, that of Supreme Judge be the first, Auditor General the second, and State Treasurer the third. Mr. Wolfe, of Union, offered a resolu tion and asked to have it read. Ruled out of order. [Laughter.] Mr. Doughlass, of Phitadelphia, offered the following resolution : Resolved, That all resolutions offered before this convention shall be read for information, which wits agreed to. Moved to proceed to preliminary nomi nations of State officers, which was agreed. NOMINATION FOR SUPREME JUDGE. Mr. Marshall, of Allegheny County : On behalf of the Republicans of Allegheny County, reflecting the desire of the people without distinction of party, I nominate James P. Sterrett for the position of Su preme Judge. [Applause Mr. Kneass, of PI - !i'lidelphis wooed the nomination. thirjeS P. Sterrett was nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court by acclama tion and amid loud applause._ Nominations for ,auditor General were next in order. Col. 11. W. Gray, of Philadelphia : I desire to nominate for the office of Auditor General Howard. J. Reeder, a gallant and brave young soldier, a gentleman whose reputation is beyond reproach—a gentle man and a soldier ; and one who will carry this State if nominated. In this gallant young soldier's nomination we way well feel proud of the work done here to-day. Judge Kirkpatrick see Hided the noinina tion. Mr. Bartholomew : l have the honor of naming for the office of Auditor General J. A. M. Passmore, of Schulykill County. This gentleman has won no triumphs by place and position. Whatever triumphs he has won have been won in the walks of private life. He has sought no honors, neither has he had them thrust upon him. J. A. M. Passmore is a business man. He has led a life that can be commended to many younger men and some older. I claim for him that which should fit him for the high duties of Auditor General, capacity and integrity. He is an original Republican, growing up in the party and always in the thickest when we most need ed Republicans. His fidelity commends him to his party. On score of locality I have little to Fay. We of Schuylkill County are classed as a Democratic county, but while our county is counted on for an opposition majority, we win the officers and do it by fair means. We aocomplish this by hard work. Untiring in every pursuit J. A. M. Passmore will make a staunch standard.bearer if this Convention sees fit to bestow its nomination on him. This fight is no man's. It is J. A. M. Passmore's alone, and steal not the honor from him by placing it on some other man's brow. [Long and continued ap plause.] H. H. Gilkyson, of Chester seconed the nomination. Mr. Wolfe : I believe all that has been said of the claims of Mr. Reeder and of Mr. Passmore. I believe either is worthy to bear the standard of the party in this campaign. But there are not only consid erations of locality or of personal claims, but there is the higher consideration of availability. lam not here to throw a fire brand into the Convention. lam here to speak plain truths. It was understood a few weeks ago that Howard J. Reeder was to be the nominee for Auditor Gener al, and, had his friends been untrammeled, they would have been here to support him. But now we know there has been a hidden hand at work in this Convention. We saw it in the organization of this Convention. To-day I say it is not a question between Reeder and Passmore. Mr. Passmore, in stead of coming here with his own friends, made by his own work, has brought to bear another influence. The change in Mr. Reeder's prospects is not from loss of strength, but it is from his relations to the Governor of this Commonwealth. [Hisses and applause.] There has long been a suspicion that there is in the State a Treasury Ring. I now state, from my own observation of four years in public life, that there is a Treasury Ring, and that it is composed of members of both parties. Now, Mr. Hart is an honest, gallant gen tleman, bat he is an intimate friend of Mr. Mackey. And then, when the nomination of Mr. Passmore is sought by the same in fluence, I say it will arouse a feeling of hostility against the ticket. I will tell you in the name of an outraged constitu ency that Mr. Mackey has been perfidious to the Republican party—[interrupted by calls to order.] My district has been de frauded by Mr. Mackey, and the gentle men who are coaching Mr. Passmore, out of a Senator. For three successive terms they have been instrumental in sending a Democrat from that district; and for this reason the people in my district will never vote for Mr. Passmore. Now I have said what I 'have said in the interest of the true Republicans of the State ; and if this Con vention wants to remove any suspicion of clique influence in the nomination of our ticket, let us nominate Howard J. Reeder. Major A. W. Norris : I rise with ex treme sorrow ; for I know I will, by doing what I intend, provoke the hostility of men who have been my friends. Now I went to men who are now against Howard J. Reeder, and they said if they were not for him they would at least be neutral. But now these men are against him and are here hissing Mr. Wolfe. In Philadelphia we are fighting for a gallant young Republican, and all these men who are now opposing him were for him. But slaw a certain judical fight in Philadelphia they have turned against Howard J. Reeder, and proclaim that the Governor shall not appoint a judge before consulting them. I know it, and I say now before my God that this fight is a fight against Governor Hartranft. [Ap plause.] STATE TREASURER. Nominations for State Treasurer being in order, Hon. George Lear, of Bucks, nominatd Wm. B. Hart, of Montgomery. He sketched Captain Hart's military and civil career in a masterly manner, eulogiz ed his honesty ani ability, and commen ted on his skillful management of the affairs of the State Treasury while chief clerk; he is an intelligent man who understands the duties of the office, and his name upon the ticket will encourage the young men of the Commonwealth, and will inspire them to make an effort to give him an im mense majority in November. [Applause.] Mr. Dushane seconded the nomination of Capt. Hart. Mr. Kitzmiller nominated Dr. E. G. Fahnestock, of Adams, which nomination was immediately withdrawn by Mr. Frank lin, of Lancaster County, who moved that Mr. Hart be nominated for State Treasur er by acclamation, which was agreed to with loud applause. THE PLATFORM, Mr. Cessna, from the Committee on Resolutions, reported the following as a platform of principles, and asked that it be read by John A. Small, esq., who bad been selected by the Committee as their Secretary. The resolutions were read by Mr. Small, as follows : 1. While we recognise and respect the differen ces of opinion existing among us as to the course pursued by President Hayes towards the South, we are in hearty accord in honoring the patriotic motives which have guided him, and in hoping that the results of his policy will be peace, good-will, and the complete recognition of the Equal Rights of all men in every section of the country ; and to the efforts of his administration to carry into ef fect the principles of the platform upon which he was elected, we pledge our hearty and cordial sup port. 2. The Electoral Commission having been crea ted at the urgent solicitation of Lite Demoeratia party, and after the oft repeated declaration of its leaders in both Houses of Congress that no fac tion could cavil at its decisions, we witness, with profound astonishment, the assaults of that party upon the august tribunal of its own creation, be cause its decisions disappointed their expectations of official patronage. Snob assaults, so far as they seek to impair the confidence of the people in the just title of the President to his high °ince, are equally childish and foolish, but may become ex tremely mischievous in assisting to diminish the popular respect for the decisions of lawful tribu nals._ 3. We respectfully but earnestly entreat all mem bers of the National and State Legislatures to as sist the return of prosperity to this great country, by adopting such measures to that end as are in their power; to devote less attention to partisan strife and more attention to the business interests of the country, in order that wise and proper laws may be passed to lessen the burdens of labor and increase its rewards ; to encourage and restore to activity legitimate industrial enterprises, and to enable the country to find a foreign market for its surplus products and manufactures. 4. That the Republican party, In passing the Homestead Law, inaugurated, and is firmly com mitted to-the policy that the public lands belong to the people, and shonld be sacredly reserved to actual settlers, free of cost to whoever will occupy them in good faith, and that all laws permitting the acquisition of more than one hundred and sixty acres of such public land ; by any one person, should be repealed. 5. That we are opposed to the policy, heretofore prevailing, of renewing patents by act of Congress, and we favor such a revision of the patent laws as will hereafter prevent the renewal of any patent. .. . 6. That the long and successful existence under the laws of Congress of the double coin standard, warrants us in demanding an early repeal of the legislation which demonetized silver and establish ed an almost exclusive gold standard ; and we therefor` favor a return to the free use and unre stricted coinage of the dollar of 793, and its res toration to the position it held as a legal-tender during the 80 years of our national existence, thus preserving the equality of the commercial value of the silver dollar with the gold dollar, keeping both in circulation. 7. That the administration of Gov. liaitranft calls for our warimst iipprobaii.n. lie has estab lished a State policy which has jnstly endeared him to the people of this Commonwealth, and he has amply justified the confidence placed in him. The steady reduction of the State debt during his administration, and the successful refunding of a large portion or the debt at a lower rate of inter est, are the beat possible evidences that the State has been well and economically governed, and that the people have everything to hope from a continuation of the Republican party in power. 8. We are in favor of law, and against lawless ness and anarchy, with all their attendant horrors and crimes. Equal Rights in making laws im pose equal duties in obeying them when made; and we tenderour hearty thanks to Gov. Hartranft and the officers, and soldiers of his command for the prompt, and, we hope, the effectual suppression of the lawless disturbances which recently occurred in this State. 9. That we hold in equal respect the right of capital to control its investments, and of labor to determine the value of its service; that we depre cate any assertion by violence of the rights of eith er, and we assert it as the duty of all citizens to hold their respective rights within the just limita tions of the law, and that any attempt to coerce either by unlawful means should he promptly re pressed by such lawful authority as the exigency demands. 10. That the Democratic party of Pennsylvania is afraid to express a decided opinion on any ques tion of present political importance, except its open declaration in favor of Free Trade, and that it still cherishes the delusion that expressions of political opinions ought either to mean anything or nothing as may best tend to secure the restora tion of that party to the control of the offices and the Treasury of the Commonwealth. We are con fident that the intelligent citizens of this great State will continue to entrust the conduct of its affairs to the party which has been zealous in the maintenance of its credit, vigilant in defence of its honor, prompt in the enforcement of its laws, and whose past administration of its government has been honest and competent, and fearlessly , faithful to the best interests of all men, of what ever class, race, or condition, within her borders. 11. That we renew our oft-repeated declarations in favor of adequate protection to American indus try, and now that manufactures are languishing, and workingmen are out of employment, the com mon interest demands a still closer adherence to the protective policy which the Republicans of Pennsylvania have always sustained. The coun try has never yet prospered under Free Trade, as it never can or will ; and as all tariffs are levied primarily for revenue, it would be a bad govern ment which is net just enough to its people to ar range its revenue imposts so as to encourage and build up the growth of home manufacture. 12 That we favor such legislation in State affairs as will, first, substitute adequate salaries for fees as a compension for county officers ; second, secure our municipalities from the dangers that attend the existing facilities for contracting debt; and third, provide adequate guards against a recur rence of the frequent and large losses to which the people who do business with banks and banking institutions have heretofore been subject. The resolutions were then unanimously adopted. AUDITOR GENERAL. The Convention then proceeded to the first ballot for Auditor General, which re sulted in 165 votes for John A. M. Pass more and 82 votes for Howard J. Reeder. The nomination of John A. M. Pass more was made unanimous, on motion of Major A. W. Norris. _ Mr. Cessna moved that the candidates named to-day, in connection with the members of the State Committee, select the Chairman and Secretary of the State Committee, which was agreed to. The Convention, after the delegates had given in the names of those who had been selected for members of the State Central Committee, adjourned s ire die MAINE 0. K. The election in Maine, on Monday last, resulted in a glorious triumph for the Re publicans. Conner is elected Governor over all opposition by a majority of 10,000. Letter from lowa. BURLINGTON, lowe, Sept. 4, 1877 • DKAR EDITOR :—Con taking my departure from your midst, I tacitly consented to write you an oe casional communication, and inasmuch as I still pride myself in having a little of the spirit which was so characteristic in "Little George's" make up, I will proceed to give you a hurried outline of my journey to this point, as well as a brief description of the place. After procuring a ticket and bidding kind friends and acquaintances an affectionate "good-bye," I boarded the met Line on the even ing of August , l6th, and hied westward. I station ed myself in the rear of the hind car and as I no ticed the familiar faces and scenes recede from my my view, I fully appreciated the following lines "Breathes there a man with 830180 dead, Who never to himself has said, This is my own, my native land." On we thundred through hills and over moun tains until we finally reached Pittsburgh. At this point we change from the P. R. R., to the Ft. Wayne it Chicago. It is now past midnight. I take my seat and make myself es comfortable as it is possible to do in a railroadear, and forgetting everything pertaining to the future or the past, I give myself over to "tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep." As I awake in the morning and take my bearings I find we have journeyed some distance into Ohio. As Igo to the rear of the car and look toward Pennsylvania, a beautiful sight opens out before me. "Old Sol," apparently, is making an herculean effort to clear the mountains in the east that he may better shed his invigora ting rays on the extensive corn fields which are to be seen everywhere; such fields of corn--acres up on acre' on all sides. A person raised in the mountainous region of Pennsylvania is at a loss to oonjeUture what becomes of all the corn he sees in the great States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois ; but when he remembers the large number of cattle and hogs that are annually exported from these three States he can better appreciate to what use the corn is put. lam told that the dealers in stook, who also farm extensively, do not pretend to out the corn, but when it is ripe the cattle and hogs are turned in; what the cattle tramp down and would destroy the hogs come after and make use of, and in this way there is little lose. We ar rive at the great cosmopolitan city at seven o'- cloak Thiirsday evening, and after a good supper at the Palmer House, we board the C. B. k Q. R. R., for the point at which I write. Another all night ride and we arrive, tired and hungry, st our journey's end. Burlington Is quite a business place, situated on the "Fathers' of Waters," about one hundred miles south-west of Chicago. It is built on three bluffs or hills, which are respectively known as the North, South and West Hills. The population is vari ously estimated at from 25,000 to 30,000. In 1870 the population was but 14,930, so you will observe that Burlington has been making some rapid strides within the last seven years. There are sev en railroads centre at this point, and in connec tion with the advantages of navigation on the Mississippi, you will readiiy see that there are few points with equal shipping facilities. It is cer tainly a grand sight, on a fair evening, to stand oa one of these bluffs (on which a portion of the city is built) and watch the declining sun as he disappears beneath the Western horizon. The re flection on the waters ispeouliarly magnificent and would require the descriptive pen of a Sun Set Cox to do it justice. As yonslook toward the Bast you can see for miles into Illinois. As yon cast your eyes toward the South the great Mississippi takes its circuitous course toward the Gulf and to the west the broad and fertile prairies of lowa open out before you, whilst all around you are beautiful residences, built with all the modern im provements. The lots are large and elevated from the pavement from eight to ten feet. The housos are generally placed in the middle of the lots, and on all sides are beautiful walks, croquet grounds, and extensive flower beds. In respect to business matters, as far as I am able to judge, I should think that there is not as much depression as in the east. You hear no grumbling from business, men and all seem to be dri ving a good trade. The crops in this State are un usually large. The yield of wheat is much above what it has bees for several years, consequently there seems to be a good feeling pervading all classes. The spirit for manufactories and city improve ments has taken quitea hold on Burlington. Roll ing mills, nail factories, water works, and sewers are all freely discussed. The Hawk Eye makes its appearance every morning with from one to three columns devoted specially to these subjects ; but to a person who has lived in "ye ancient Borough" for the last eighteen months, and has heard Water Works, French Plate Glass Works, etc., discussed, cussed, re-discussed, and re-cussed, will not get much excited over such small matters. It is the general opinion, however, that Burlington will ere long have water works. The water will be pump ed from the Mississippi by en engine, at an esti mated cost of $350,000. Since my arrival I have made the acquaintance of W. J. Adams, esq., who was born and raised in "ye ancient Borough" and who, at one time, served as "devil" on your paper. I And him quite a jovial follow, and am glad to say that he is doing quite an extensive insurance business, being the special agent for the Hawk Eye Fire Insurance Company for the State of lowa. I have now lengthened my communication much beyond what I expected when I commenced, and inasmuch as the campaign is now fully opened I presume all your available space be brought into requisition to say "freq (hip" about the Bemocratic nominees. in conclusion, however, I wish to pay a deservin:s tribute to the Bruce, for merly the Lawrence House. Everything is kept neat and clean, the bill of fare is good, waiters po lite, charges moderate, and last, but not by any moans least, the chief clerk, Mr. Sanford, is just the right man in the right place. I have no hesi tancy in recommending the above hotel to any one who may happen to he traveling this way as a suitable place to stop. When I write you again shall touch on the politics of this State and will also give you some idea how the Sabbath is ob served in this, the boasted Banner Republican State. More anon. tiItANUER.
