TEIE ext..enaive axe factory at Mill Hall,

fire one night last week, entailing a loss
of $20,000 upon the proprietor, Mr. Rob

COL. W. P. WILSON, of Bellefonte,
chairman of the Republican State Central

nut his plans fur the campaign. He had
better "hurry up the cakes."

OUR good natured friend Wni. C. Smith,
mi., of Bedford, knows what it is to lead
a forlorn hope. lie struck out boldly
against the tide in the State Central Com
mittee and won the admiration of his op
ponents. Good for William We like
pluck.
THZ meeting of the Republican State
Central Committee, at Harrisburg, on
Thursday of last week, was well attendod,
and the reports from the different sections
of the State altogether satisfactory. Chair
man Wilson expresses himself highly grati
fied at the political out look.
THE death of Senator Bogy, of Missouri,
has created quite a flutter among the poli
ticians of that State. Gov. Phelps, it, is
thought, would like to fill the place him
self. Bogy's term would have expired in
1879. The Governor has the filling of
the vacancy.
PRESIDENT HAYES and his cabinet are
swinging around the circle as extensively
as Andrew Johnson. In the South they
are received with great display and pro
fessions, and as soon as the Pullman car,
which carries them, is out of sight they
will make a raid on the d—d niggers. A
few good speeches have been made at dir
ferent points along the route, but none by
the bead of the nation that will be worth
preserving. The President's course will
pass the Republicans to the rear and MI
Democrats to the front very smoothly.•
There won't be much friction, and for this
we ought to he thankful.
THE Harrisburg Telegraph, speaking of
the President's visit to the South and the
pledges he is exacting, hits the nail on the
head exactly when it says :
- - EDITOZ
"At Louisville the other day he asked the
crowd which welcomed him if they were ready
to support the Constitution as it is, and they
answered with a yell that they were. Why
must this question be so often repeated? We
are tired of asking the South whether she is
willing to support the Constitution or obey
the law. We do not hear such questions put
in the North. For forty years there has always
been a nervous anxiety whether or not the
South would agree to obey the laws of Con
gress, and now we have the President journey
ing in that section, and wherever he stops he
invariably asks, "Gentlemen, are you ready to
take the Constitution as your guide and obey
the law ?" He did not ask such questions in
Ohio. In all his speeches north of Mason and
Dixon's line, President Hayes never once re
ferred to the obedience of the people to the
law, and did not ask whether there was a man
within his hearing who hesitated to accept the
Constitution or obey the law. He would have
insulted a northern, western or eastern audi
ence by such an inquiry, and the insult would
have been resented. It is not a question in the
sections referred to whether the organic or
statute law is to be obeyed. Laws here are of
majestic force, of power at once recognized
and respected, and no man presumes to debate
the policy of their obedience. But in the South
we eternally hear this inquiry, Will you obey
the laws 7 Can you accept the Constitution ?
It is about time this is ended. We hope the
President will stop asking this question, and
when he travels in the South, if he desires to
talk of the law, refer to it as a force which no
man, no party, no section dare disobey. The
spirit of our Government admits of no such in
quiries. And what is worse, the President of
the United States ought not to ask such ques
tions."
THE citizens of Philadelphia were startled
from their wonted composure, on Saturday
last, as perhaps they have not been since
the failure of Jay Cook & Co , by the an•
nouncement of the downfall of John S.
Morton, President of the Market Street
Railway Company, caused by the over
issue of about 10,000 shares of stock valued
at $750,000. The mischief has been a
long time coming to light. The crooked
fleas commenced as early as 1870. Mr.
Morton makes a c!ean breast of it and say s
it was done to wive others. Much of it
was simply given as collateral for advances
with the intention of taking it up. It is
the old story of forging a note with the
intention of meeting it. What will be done
in the matter is not apparent ut this wri
ting.
IF there is not soon something dune to
protect tht. poor who deposit small sums
in Saving Banks it were high time that
this class of people took the law into their
own hands. The name of Savings Bank has
become synonymous with that of swindle,
and if men of wealth were victimized there
would soon be such a howl as would bring
about a remedy, but the poor laboring
man, the washerwoman and the poor hired
girl may complain and shed tears innumer
able and they go for naught. When the
next Savings Bank busts we would suggest
a vigilance committee and plenty of hemp,
and the practice of this sort of fraud will
soon become a thing of the past.
THE Greenback Convention, held at
Williamsport on Wednesday of last week,
refused so endorse the Labor Reform can
date—John M. Davis—for Auditor-Gen
eral, but did endorse James L. Wright,
the Labor candidate for State Treasurer.
Judge Elwell the Labor candidate for Su
preme Judge baying resigned, the Labor
men will probably endorse the Greenback
candidate—Benj. S. Bently. This will
leave a candidate of each party in the field
for Auditor• General, which will probably
be simplified by the withdrawal or retire
ment of Davis.
GEN. GRANT is still being ovated in
Great Britain. At Newcastle.on•Tyne,
last week, be was feted and honored as
perhaps no American was ever honored by
the citizens of that municipality. His
speech on the occasion ought Co be lettered
in gold and posted up in the Department
of State of the two nations and every other
public place and preserved until the end
of time.
MANY religious bigots and not a few
frauds will attribute tho full of John S.
Morton, President of the Market Street
Railway Company, to the opening of the
International Exhibition on Sunday.—
Since Mr. Morton confesses that the trans
actions which have brought about his
ruin were commenced as early as 1870 it
will be rather an uphill business to attribute
it to the Sunday opening.
IT looks as if there was going to be
quite a contest for the United States Sen
atorship next year. Hon. J. D. Cameron,
Gov. John F. Hartranft, Hon. B. F.
Brewster, Hon. Butler B. Strang and Hon.
Thomas M. M.,rsball, will all be in the
field, with half a dozen others to bear from.
THERE are .now four State tickets in the
field, Republican, Democratic, Greenback
and Workingmen and th usual Temper
ance ticket. The latter don't amount to
much. A few of the old temperance
hacks, who do not wart to drop out of
sight, find this a cheap way of keeping
themselves before the public.
THE Turks still continue to thrash their
Russian antagonists. Krupp guns and
Springfield and Herny rifles appear to be
entirely too much for the Muscovites.—
"Fight like a Turk" has long since grown
into a proverb, and the Mosleuws of the
present generation are determined that
their reputation shall not diminish.
Destructive Fire in the Patent Office.
Was/Loom', Sept. 25.—A fire broke out in the
Pat mt Office building yesterday. The flames
broke out in the model room, barst though the
roof, and blazed furiously. Secretary Schurz and
his assistants superintended the removal of files,
models and records. The clerks removed books
and papers and organized as guards. A guard of
the District militia was at the main stairway of
the model room, in the oentre building.
The fire originated from spontaneous combustion
among a lot of non-patented chemicals stored iu
the attic on the Ninth street front. The principal
loss falls upon the Patent Office. The original
copy of the Declaration of Independence and relics
of aeneral Washington were saved as was also
Franklin's printing press. Nearly all the specifi—
cations and original drawings of the Patent Office
are safe, and from these models can be reproduced
if necessary. Many clerks of the Interior Depart
ment, livid, Patent, Indian and Pension Offices
have been ordered on duty assorting papers and
books, and drying ail which bad been damaged by
water. Military are on guard duty at the build
ing, where they will remain until all records and
Public property shall be secured. None of the
Land Office records have been destroyed by fire,
but many seriously damaged by water. The
records of the Application Division, the office
which first receives applicrtions from patentees,
and cf which papers no copies were made, wore
saved. The most valuable models saved were
those relating to sewing machines, fire arms,
printing presses, locks, saws. etc. All models of
reapers, mowers and various agricultural imple
ments were destroyed. A temporary room will be
MOW at once.
" Pl Nedsalage to tae building is variously esti
mated at from $300,000 to $600,000, while that
growing out of the destruction of models and other
valuables belonging to the Patent Office is almost
incalculable.
Letter from Kansas.
TROY, KANSAS, Sept., 17, 1577.
hOlTolts JfiliftNAL:-1 will again endeavor to
give you a short letter of Kansas news. The Kan
sas mind is just now agitated over fast horses, the
products of the soil, fat cattle, etc., for this is the
month of fairs in this country. The present
sensation is the Exposition at St. Joe, Mo. On
Saturday last, Septen.ber 15, Build Doble, the
owner of Goldsmith Maid, made his appearance
on the ring with this beautiful queen of the turf,
and was greeted with deafening cheers from the
multitude of spectators and admirers of this noted
trotter. The Maid was driven twice around the
ring by Doble, she jogging along very leisurely,
surveying the crowd, and swinging her long, black
main and tail approvingly, as the ladies waived
their handkerchiefs and the men saluted her with
cheers. At length, Bud Doble, gloved and fault
lessly dressed, lifted his little silk cap to the judg
es, and the business of the day began. Ile an
nounced that Goldsmith Maid had been on the
cars since Tuesday, and that he would not drive
her hard the first heat. After careful sponging,
she flow under the wire and spun around the ring,
without any apparent effort, in a trifle less than
2:22. After a proper length of time, Doble said he
would trot her two more heats and soon she came
up, looking as bright as a dollar, and stepping as
lightly and proudly as one of royal blood should,
and she went around without a skip, but only
made it in 2:24. This caused considerable disap
pointment. The third heat was made in 2:21. The
track was very heavy, and it was impossible for
her to do better work. Betting ran high, and
quite a number were made that the Maid would
make it iu less than 2:16. But the betters did
not take into consideration the track, and that the
Maid is growing old. She will be twenty-one
years old in April.
P. T. Barnum, with his mammoth show, is do
ing this country. It is astonishing the crowds he
gathers ; they come from far and near. But he
advertises extensively, a fact worth noting down.
There is not a paper in this locality but what is
full of bold cuts of Barnum's show.
I admire the pluck of western newspaper men.
The newspapers in this country need not go a
begging to eke out an existence, nor have they to
spend their precious time dunning up old bills.
Cush is the word. The farmer, machaut2, laborer,
and business man appreciate their papers and
the poor printers' wants, and come down with
the collateral. The two sheets published in this
little city reminds me of the newspaper war in old
Huntingdon not long since. The campaign will
soon open. In the language of the lamented Guss,
"There's fun ahead."
Since my sojourn in this country, I have availed
myself of every opportunity of sight-seeing. Some
weeks slice I accompanied an excursion party to
Ft. Leavenworth. I would like to describe to you
the grandeur of the scenery around this celebrated
Fort. Suffice it to say it is well worth a ride of
many hundred miles to see. It is here where Capt.
Custer and the other victims of the late Indian
massacre are laid. I visited the city of Leaven
worth, two miles from the Fort, and found a city
of considerable note, having several spicy dailies,
their chiefs men of ability and especially adapted
to that business. We told these men we were from
Pennsylvania, and they took us by the band
warmly, and wished us God speed, gave us a "good
puff," the western style—and sent us on our way
rejoicing through the city. Our next trip was to
Table Rock, Nebraska, 80 miles from here, where
we wont on Sunday last, to attend camp meeting.
On our way we followed the Missouri liver for some
miles, when wo struck the Nitneha valley. 'Twas
this valley, more than other inducements, that
caused ue to take the trip. It is indeed a lovely
country. As far as the eye can see you behold a
level stretch of prairie, dotted over with herds of
cattle grazing and beautiful farm residences. After
a three hours' ride through this Eden of Kansas,
wo arrived at the camp, and the first thing to greet
us, of course, was a free fight, by a crowd of buf
fers, who made the blood tly freely. We cannot
compare this camp ground to the grand old Juni
ata Valley Camp, neither will the preaching bear
a comparison.
The crops that looked so fine last spring have
been threshed out, and did not yield a two-third
crop. But the fruit crop is tolerably good, espe
cially the grape, peach and apple. I have been
shown some fine vineyards and peacli orchards.
The fruit grows much larger and more abundant
here than I have ever seen elsewhere, and the vines
and trees have a more healthy appearance. But
my letter is getting too long. I have been visited
regularly by the JOURNAL, and a right welcome
visitor it is. I weekly scan its columns to see
what new enterprise has taken shape, secretly
hoping the glass enterprise has not died out. A
Huntingdon man war , in this vicinity sometime
since, sight-seeing. You will hear from me again.
Yours, truly,
TOM.
