THANKB.—Hoo. Alex. Port will please
accept our thanks for a copy of the Report
of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural So-
ciety for 1877. The book is handsomely
printed, whilst the illustrations are much
superior to those generally found in pub
lications of this kind. It is replete with
valuable information.
THI Huntingdon Journal has strength
ened itself for the campaign by associating
in the editorial management Mr. Milton
S. Lytle, of the bar of that county. Mr.
Lytle is a staunch Republican, a forcible
writer, and, in the coming conflict, will
carry the Journal to the front ranks of the
battle.—Phila. Press.
TEE "young man from the country,"
who is fearful of our inability to run the
JOURNAL successfully, can possess his soul
in peace, and whilst he is parading his
figures before those simple enough to listen
to his twaddle, we will endeavor to show
that his communistic ideas are detrimental
to the beam interests of the country.
THZILE are unmistakable signs of another
civil war. Some of the copperheads are
again getting ready to go to Canada. They
ought to wait until they are sure there
will not be a war in Europe. They might
be impressed into the British service to
fight against the Russians. That would
be worse than fighting in this country.
Tax country is in greater danger now
from other canes than from not having
enough greenbacks. The new difficulties
are forcing the financial troubles out of
sight. Nobody thinks about the latter
any more but a few persons who have a
personal interest in exciting the public
mind. It is hard to keep up the agitation.
CONTILOVIRSY among the first-class
hotels of New York shows that the service
is constantly changing from one first class
hotel to the other, and the bills of fare
show the same variety of dishes. The im
portant fact, to travellers, is that the Grand
Central offers the same accommodations for
ene and two dollars per day less than the
others.
Corm is one of the articles of daily
use that have recently been very much re
duced in price through the beneficence of
Republican rule. It will no doubt be run
up again towards autumn by the increased
demand that will be caused by its extensive
use in the political campaign. Wallace's
eoffee•pots will be running over. People
should then remember to blame the high
pries on the Democrats and not on Repub
licans.
Arai. H. STZPIIINB says the Potter
investigatioa will end in a farce or a tragedy.
It is a mixed play—farcical at the begin
ning, tragical at the conclusion. The
soene at Pittsburgh in which the Lord
High Dictator Wallace struts upon the
stage and says, "we oppose any attack upon
the President's title," is for our amuse
ment previous to the more serious parts.—
They are reserving the surprises. As soon
as the tragedy begins the Northern Demo
crats will make their exit at the back door.
They will not be in while the killing is in
program. The Southern players will have
to stand that themselves. It is the old
thing over again, but as we haven't seen
it since 1861, seventeen years ago, it may,
after,all have something fresh and startling
in it.
REDEEM THE DISTRICT.
The Congressional districts to which
Huntingdon county has belonged, although
Republican, have, through the indifference
of our party, been represented during the
last eight years by Democrats. The dis
trict to which we are now attached is one
of the four in Pennsylvania that may be
redeemed at the next election. The im
portance of doing so is very evident and
will become more apparent as time pro
ceeds. Our influence in Congress, as well
as the influence of every other district that
has a Democratic representative, is now
exerted in favor of Southern rebel domi
nation. If the Democrats retain their pow
er in the House, obtain control of the Sen
ate, as they will in 1879, and succeed
in their efforts to usurp the Presidency,
the nation will be in a far worse situation
than it was in 1861. That they are at
tempting to accomplish all these purposes
is beyond question. The Southern Dem
ocrats have the movement in their own
hands. The representation of the South
in the next Congress will be almost solidly
Democratic. There is but one district in
that entire section that the Republicans can
expect with any certainty to carry. A num
ber of districts contain a large majority of
Republican voters,in one it is as high as fif
teen thousand, but the Democrats, by means
peculiar to Southern politics, always man
age to elect their candidates. A 'solid
South" will therefore send one hundred
and five Representatives—Democrats or
rebels, whichever we may please to call
them. They will then have complete con•
trot of Congress. A majority of both
House and Senate will be Democratic and
a majority of the Democrats will be South
erners. All measures to be brought be
fore Congress will first be considered by a
Democratic caucus, in which the Southern
members will rule, and no member of the
party, whether from the North or South,
will have the temerity to disobey the can•
cus mandate. There could therefore be
no legislation the South did not approve
of, and none could be rejected that they
desired. They would have but one step
more to take to place themselves in abso•
lute power, and that is, to depose the
President and seat one of their own kind
in his place. An investigation which is
intended to lead to this result has already
been commenced, and the revolution will
be ripe as soon as both Houses of Congress
come under their control. Ought there
not to be some solidity among Republi
cans ? Should we not at least refuse to
give to the Democrats the vote from our own
distrietin furtherance of their nefarious and
dangerous schemes ? Let us close up our
ranks again, as we did in 1860. Let us march
shoulder to shoulder to the music of the
Union, with the stars and stripes at the
head of our column. It was victory at the
ballot-box that saved the country when the
rebellion was in its incipient stages. De
feat at the polls now would be the loss of
half the battle which may be too soon upon

THE REPUBLICANS, THE DEMO
CRATS AND THE TARIFF.
At a recent caucus of Democratic mem ..
hers of Congress a: motion was made to
postpone the further consideration of the
Wood tariff bill until June 8, which would
of course be bo late for its passage at this
session. The report of the proceedings
says that ''Fernando Wood rose in an ex
cited manner, defended his bill as the
most important measure before Congress,
and insisted that it should receive imme
diate consideration. In answer to a ques
tion by General Ewing, whether he thought
the tariff bill could be passed during this
session, Mr. Wood replied evasively that
he hoped the Democratic party would be
true to its old time principles and tradi
tions." In the face of this, the Democrats
of Pennsylvania, one-half of whom are led
by Speaker Randall, by whom a Demo
cratic free-trader from New York city was
appointed Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House, would
have us believe that they are in favor of a
tariff. Mr. Wood knows what "the old
time principles and traditions" of the par
ty are, and even Mr. Wallace, the leader
of the other half of the Democracy, did
not say a word against them, as set forth
in Mr. Wood's bill, in the Platform of the
Pittsburgh Convention. As a contrast, we
give the resolution upon the tariff question
adopted by the Republicans at Harrisburg :
The Republican party of Pennsylvania, ad
hering to its historical record and to its prin
ciples heretofore often affirmed, declares :
FIRST. That it is uncompromisingly opposed
to free trade, in whatever disguise presented ;
unchangingly devoted to the principles of pro
tection to home industry, and hereby avows
its special and direct hostility to the tariff bill
now pending in Congress, the same being in
the interest of importers and foreign manufac
turers and in opposition to American labor.
A POLITICIAN for SUPREME JUDGE.
The career of Henry P. Ross, Demo
cratic candidate for Supreme Judge, proves
him to be more of a politician than a jurist.
He has been twice defeated for Congress,
has been a standing delegate to political
conventions from his native county of
Bucks, has frequently been in State con
ventions, was a member of the National
convention that nominated McClellan in
1864, where he voted for the resolution de
claring the war a failure, and was also in
the convention that nominated Seymour
in 1868. He bas achieved no success and
gained no honors except as a political ma
nipulator, his adroitness in that respect se
curing him the favor of Wallace and the
nomination at Pittsburgh. It will be an
unfortunate day for Pennsylvania when
Mr. Wallace gets the Supreme Bench un
der his thumb as he has the Democratic
party.
"Is the new proprietor can afford to be as
independent and outspoken as was tbe old,
the JOURNAL will continue a credit to country
journalism, even though it is not so satisfactory
to Radical rings and partisan cliques."—Dees
oeratie Watchman.
"Partisan cliques" seem to have been
well enough satisfied with the "independent
and outspoken" tone of the JOURNAL, but
unfortunately they were Democratic cliques.
The false pretence of publishing a paper
that pleased them so well, while claiming
to be Republican, was one for which the
present proprietor was not responsible.—
If the JOURNAL is not hereafter satisfac
tory to the most "radical," it will be be
cause we fail in our purpose.
WAS IT WALLACE'S CONVENTION?
Some of the Democrats, from various
motives, go to considerable trouble to deny
that Senator Wallace played the part of
a dictator at the Pittsburgh convention.
The principal reason for this denial is that
some of the !user lights of Democracy de
sire to be honored with the credit of hav
ing exercised some influence on the pro
ceedings and are not willing to be regarded
as the mere puppets worked by Mr. Wal
lace's wires that people generally are in
clined to believe them. In this controver
sy between the Senator and his liliputian
rivals, all fair men are obliged to uphold
the cause of the former. We have care
fully examined the work of the convention
as reported at length in our contempora
ries, for the purpose of ascertaining the
extent of Mr. Wallace's power as an auto
crat, and find it to have been supreme.
The only thing that Mr. Wallace permit
ted to be done before appearing upon the
floor, was the calling of the convention to
order by the Chairman of the . State Cen•
tral Committee. He then arose and nom
nated Mr. Speer for temporary chairman.
Who selected this gentleman for that po
sition but Mr. Wallace ? He could have
named any other member of the conven
tion and have had him elected. It is for
tunate for Mr. Speer that Wallace's choice
did not fall upon a delegate from one of the
slum districts of the Fourth ward of Phila.
delphia,for in that case he would have had
another defeat to charge against the great
dictator. But the favor shown him in this
instance wiped out all former resentments,
and during his temporary occupancy of the
Chair, he found an opportunity of showing
his gratitude, if carrying out a preNiously
arranged programme could be any evidence
of gratitude, by appointing Mr. Wallace
chairman of the committee to conduct
Mr. Buckalew, permanent President, to
his seat. Mr. Wallace was kept is the
front. The next matter of importance was
the report of the Committee on Resolu
tions,of which,of course, Mr. Wallace was
Chairman. It is immaterial what this re
port contained and unnecessary to say that
it was adopted without question or dissent.
The resolutions were prepared in Wash
ington city, and that they were to be voted
through the convention was a foregone
conclusion before a score of delegates knew
their purport. If it had pleased Mr. Wal
lace to have said in them that the world
was flat and rested upon his own back, and
that he stood upon and was supported by
the Southern Confederacy, that the "lost
cause" was lost only temporarily, that the
only rebels that had ever been in this
country were the Republicans, that a Dem
ocratic President must be eleeted in 1880
and that be was the coming man, that Re
publicans would then be punished and Re
publicanism made odious, all these things
would have been adopted with the same
unanimity shown by the convention in ev
erything else that Mr. Wallace intimated
was the proper thing to be done. This
concluded, the next step was to nominate
for Governor Mr. Wallace's man Dill, a
name wbieh Speaker Randall and some
others misunderstood to be PILL, and which
they were unwilling to swallow. The oth
er ring nominations followed in quick sue.
cession. Mr. Wallace was last upon the
scene as well as first. He moved that Mr.
Speer be elected Chairman of the State
Central Committee by acclamation. For
tunate Speer ! Good luck ! Wallace's plans
didn't seem to require Billy McMullen, or
Sam. Josephs, or any of "them fellows" as
Chairman, and therefore Speer got the
place. Wallace then made a speech and the
convention was over. Whose was it ?
A WARRIOR.
If the nomination of I ill, at Pittsburgh,
was not the work of political machinery,
by what was it brought about ? Was it
because of his military record ? Was it
in deference to the public sentiment that
those who bared their bosoms to the storm
of rebel bullets should have the preference?
Was it in recognition of the necessity of
placing a soldier in opposition to General
Henry N. Hoyt ? Lest some might fall
into the error that there was something
patriotic connected with his nomination,
we give the following account of his career
in the army from the Philadelphia Press :
" All the biographical notices sent from
Pittsburgh of Dill, the Democratic candidata
for Governor, ostentatiously refer to his mili
tary service. A careful inspection of the State
records shows that there was an emergency
regiment knocked together in 1863, known as
the Twenty-eighth. It was mustered in June
24 and discharged July 28. Its service was
one month. Andrew H. Dill figures as first
lieutenant of Company F. This company con
sisted of a captain, two lieutenants, fire ser
geants, eight corporals and thirty-six whole
privates. There is no record in the list of
casualities, of a death, wound, or even a case
of diarrhce. There is nothing to show that
this regiment ever heard a hostile shot fired,
or ever saw a gray uniform. Hurrah for Dill
THE House at Washington has appro
priated $20,000 towards raying the ex
penses of the Potter investigation. This
is only the first appropriation ; how much
the next one will be time alone will tell.
They reduced the army on the pretext of
economy and use the money thus saved to
equip themselves for a raid on the Presi
dency. In 1860 and 61, they scattered the
army and navy and declared that a _Repub
lican President should not be inaugurated.
That scheme was very much like the pres
ent one. Are any of the old hands at the
helm ? Where is Jeff. Davis ?
A REPUBLICAN FINANCIAL MEASURE.
—The bill to forbid the further retirement
of greenbacks was debated all day in the
United States Senate on the 28th ult., and
passed by a vote of forty-one to eighteen.
It now goes to the President for his ap
proval. Thus a Republican Senate has
adopted a measure asked for by the Green
back party and which the latter would
never have had the power to secure for itself.
Is it not better to remain in a party that
is able to legislate for the benefit of the
country, than to belong to one that must
always be in the minority everywhere.
WELL SAlD.—Twenty years ago the
decline in the Democratic power was ap
parent to the whole country. It had ru
led, with but partial interruptions, for a
generation, and the lust of the placeman
and the greed of the plunderer had stamp
ed demoralization and decay upon the once
proud and omnipotent party.—Philadel
phia Times.
HOW DILL WENT BACK ON THEM.
In his letter to the Southern people,
Postmaster General Key reminded them
of "the encouragement which the North
ern Democrats in 1860 and 1861 extended
to the Southern States to secede, and the
manner in which their promises of aid and
comfort were fulfilled." Mr. Dill, now
Democratic candidate for Governor, is one
of the gentlemen whom the Postmaster
General had in his mind. In February,
1861, Dill was a delegate to the Democrat
ic State Convention, at which the follow
ing resolution was adopted :
"2. That we deprecate civil war, as we be
lieve that the Union can never be maintained
by force of arms, and that as Democrats we
are not willing to take up arms to support a
platform which a majority of the people re
pudiated and opposed at the polls."
This was the encouragement to the reb
els. Mr. Dill was "riot willing to take up
arms." The Southerners thought there
was no danger, therefore, and the rebellion
went on. But in 1863, in violation of this
pledge, Dill went down to the State line on
a one month's tour, as Lieutenant of a com•
pany containing 16 officers and 36 privates.
No wonier the Southern Congressmen re•
fuse to stay the tido of revolution in or
der to make him Governor ! The Demo
crats must explain this matter. Here is a
Plausible statement. Dill didn't intend to
fight. He went to welcome them, but not
"with bloody hands to hospitable graves."
If circumstances had placed him in an un
pleasant situation, where there was danger
of being hurt, rather than to wound or be
wounded, he would have taken that other
disease, a case of which is said not to have
occurred in his company, when his retreat
from the field would have been necessary
and honorable. The rebels and everybody
else will believe this.
WHAT IF HE DID ?
It has been claimed for J. Simpson Af
rica that he organized the Department of
Internal Affairs and that therefore he
ought to be elected Secretary. The facts
simply are that the name of the office of
Surveyor General was changed and some
few duties added, that General McCand
less was the first Secretary elected, and
that he appointed Africa his Deputy.
There was but little required in the way
of re organization, the new Secretary not
having much to do but to continue the
business of the office as it had been con
ducted by the old official. IfGeneral Mc'
Candless failed to give his attenti at to any
reform or changes in routine that were
necessary, or to any additional duties under
the new Constitution or the laws, it was a
neglect of which the Democrats ought nut
to boast. If he handed these matters over
to his Deputy, Akio), that gentleman
could not avoid them without losing his
position. Had any other person been
Deputy, even a Republican, they would no
doubt have been attended to as promptly
and as well. A merely proper perform.
ance of a duty is not always a reason for
retaining a public officer. If it were, some
men might acquire a life tenure to office,
contrary to our policy of Government. Mr.
Africa has never dune anything more than
his duty, and in this instance it was not a
difficult one. Capt. A. K. Duukel, the
Republican candidate for Secretary of In
ternal Affairs, will take charge of the office
and conduct it fully as well as Mr. Africa
has done with all his experience.
THE Prohibition Convention met at Al
toona on Wednesday, May 29, and nomi
nated General F. H. Line, of Shirleysburg,
for Governor; John Shallcross, of Phila
delphia, for Lieutenant Governor; Daniel
Agnew. of Beaver, fur Supreme Judge ;
and Calvin Parsons, of Luzerne, for Sec
retary of Internal Affairs. General Lane
was elected Treasurer of this county in
1857, and to the Legislature by the Re
publicans in 1871 and '72. These were
the only political honors the General saw
any prospect of obtaining in this locality
and therefore sought the doubtful compli
ment of the nomination at Altoona, even
to the slight damage, it may be, of the
party that carried him as such a heavy
burden. He ought to show more gratitude
and less personal ambition.
HON. J. S. BLACK, who was the last
Democratic Attorney General of the United
States preceding the rebellion, says of Mr.
Dill that "he is a perfectly good nomina
tion for Governor." This opinion will not
be considered very valuable when it is re
membered that he decided that a colored
man had no rights that white men were
bound to respect. Judge Black is too
much of a partisan to be impartial or great.
HoN. H. G. FISHER, Senator from nun
tingdon county, is being urged as a candi
date for Congress. Mr. Fisher's unblem
ished record, irreproachable private ahar
acter, unquestionable ability and tried in
tegrity loudly recommend him as a suitable
and available person to represent this dis
trict in Congress. We are not informed
to any certainty whether ha will be a can
didate.—Middleburg Post.
WHEN the news came that Africa, of
Huntingdon, was nominated for Secretary
of Internal Affairs, the democracy here
abouts were utterly astounded—"A man
from Africa nominated—why he's a nigger
of course—well ! well ! We'll never sup
port that ticket," that's worse than a coffee
colored leader and more of it, said they.
Whenever an opportunity offers, the an
tipathy of Democratic hostility to the
negro will crop out, and this is a fair sam
ple —Bellefonte Republican.
THE Blair county Republicans have
placed the following ticket in the field :
Congress, W. C. Roller; Assembly, M. Ed
gar King and B. L. Hewit ; County Com
missioners, S. B. Confer and John Half
penny; Director of the Poor, David Bell ;
County surveyor, Daniel Hoover; Audi
tors, S. C. Baker and A. C. Clapper.
SOME of the members of the Greenback
party are not any less Democrats to-day
than before they joined it, and will do as
much as ever for their former party friends.
Who believes they would not favor an al
liance ? Can Chairman Speer run two par
ties ? .
THE late Confederates now in Congress
have become very bold since Grant went
to Europe. We will bring the General
home again, and see how long it will take
him to settle this new rebellion. "Let us
have peace."
GENERAL BUTLER has been refused
permission to go to Louisiana as a member
of the sub committee to investigate the al
leged election frauds in that State. It i°
said that his presenca there would not be
tolerated, that his life would be in danger,
that he would be assassinated. And it is
from these people, whom President Hayes
has endeavored to conciliate, and who have
shown the result of his efforts by conniving
at his removal, and threatening to murder
a Union General if' sent among them for
the purpose of making the investigation,
that evidence is to ba obtained as to the
right of the President to retain his office.
'Who will have any confidence in their
testimony ? And has not the conciliation
policy been tried nearly long enough, too ?
IT is better to whip a Napoleon than a
Blucher,--Speer. It takes a Wellington
to whip either. No other kind of a General
can do it.

Jewels of the Crown of Scotland.
At Edinburg, Scotland, some years since,
the Jewels of the Crown were locked in a box,
that box in another, and so on, until they
were supposed to be burglar-proof. They
were then locked up in the vault of the castle,
there to remain for one hundred years, the
keys being placed in a mortar and fired into the
sea. Scarce fifty years passed by, and the
modern lock-picker opens the vault and boxes
without trouble. So the science of medicine,
when studied with the aid of chemistry and
the microscope, becomes plain and simple,
and diseases that were regarded incurable a
generation ago, now readily yield to remedies
employed by the modern and progressive
physician. A decade of years since, and
women were taught to believe that their
peculiar diseases and weaknesses were incura
ble ; but now hundreds and thousands of once
bedridden women in the United States will
testify to the fact that Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has effected their perfect and
permanent cure.

Dear Sir—About five years since my wife

relief, and with a little perseverance, •nn entire

The Laboratory of the System.
The stomach is the laboratory of the system
in which certain mysterious processes are
constantly going on. These result in the
production of that wonderful vivifying agent
the blood, which in a state of health rushes
laden with the Ilements of vitality to the
remotest parts of the system. But when the
stomach issemi-paralyzed by dyspepsia, blood
manufacture is carried on imperfectly, the
circulation grows thin and sluggish, and the
system suffers in consequen2e. Moreover,
indigeition reacts upon the liver arid bowels,
rendering the first sluggish and the latter
constipated. The brain also suffers by sym
pathy, and sick headaches, sleeplessness and
nervous symptoms are engendered. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters reforms this state of things,
gives permanent tone and regularity to the
stomach and its associate organs, the bowels
and liver, and ensures complete nourishment
and increased vigor of the system. It is the
most popular as well as the most efficient
anti-dyspeptic and tonic in America. [ju.7 lm

CHEAP
KANSAS LANDS !
We own and control the Railway lands of TREGO CO.
KANSAS, about equally divided by the Kansas Pacific R.
R., which wo are selling at an average of $3.25 per acre
on Gamy terms of payment. Alternate sections of Govern
ment leads can be taken ite homesteads by actual settlers.
These lands lie in the Great Limestone Belt of Central
Kansas, the beet winter wheat producing district of the
United States, yielding fom 20 to 35 Bushels per acre.
The average yearly rainfall in this county is nearly 33
inches per annum, one-third greater than in the much-ex
tolled Arkansas Valley, which has a yearly rainfall of less
than 23 inches per annum in the same longitude.
Stock-Raising and Wool-Growing are very remunerative.
The winters are short and mild. Stock will live all the
year on grass ! Living Streams and Springs are numerous.
Pure water is found in wells from 20 to tiO feet deep. The
Healthiest Climate in the World: No fever and ague there.
No muddy or impassable roads. Plenty of fine building
tone, lime and sand. These lands are being rapidly set
tled by the best class of Northern and Eastern people, and
will so appreciate in value by the Improvements now be
ing made as to make their purchase at present prices one
of the verr beet investments that can be made, aside from
the profits to be derived from their cultivation. Members
of our firm reside in WA-KEENEY, and will chow lands
at any time. A pamphlet, giving full information in re
gard to soil, climate, water supply, Ac., will be sent free
