Durborrow & Co., but up to this tim9 but a very small number of those to whom we have sent bills have respond ed. These accounts must be settled. From those who are unable to pay the cash we are willing to take their notes, for a limi ted time. On the first of August we had intended placing our books in the hands of an officer for collection, but we will ex tend the time to the first of September, at which date all unsettled accounts will be collected by due process of law. If you would save costs and annoyance, give this notice your attention. We are averse to this mode of collection, but when no atten tion is paid to our bills and appeals for payment, there is no other plan left for us to pursue. Don't compel us to add costs to your accounts. THE CONVENTION. The Republican convention which as sembled at this place on Tuesday last, was composed of able, faithful and representa tive members of the party. It was con spicuous for the large number of delegates who have been life-long opponents of the Democratic party ; in fact, there were none of any other kind in it, and it was rendered respectable by the absence of those who through interest, ignorance or weakness, have yielded to the allurements of the greenback faith. The ticket is such as was to be expected from such a convention, the candidates being men in regard to whose Republicanism there can be no question, or doubt. They are also men whose integrity can he implicitly re lied upon in any position, public or private, to which they may be called and are es pecially and eminently fitted by personal character, ability and education for the re spective offices for which they have been nominated. We place their names at the head of our columns and will battle for them with all our might until the close of the polls on election day, hoping and believing that their success is among the certainties of the future. We are unable this week to give the usual personal notice of each can didate, but will do so at the earliest possi ble day. 5. G. Iszres "figures won't lie," nor do the figures that show that lie wasn't nominated for Treasurer. Wz haven't heard of a printer being nominated for Congress lately. Neither has Lindsay. Bankers are preferred by the labor party. NORTH did the Boring that made the nomination for Register and Recorder. It was a bore on those who were brought be fore the convention with the expectation that a ballot would be taken. D. ETNIZR, JS., of Mount Union, ought to know by this time whether the green back movement will benefit the laboring men. It hasn't done much good yet for the toilets who wanted the nomination for Assembly. HENRY S. GREEN said long ago that he didn't believe the people of Huntingdon county wanted him to fill any office. His belief will be firmer than ever since the result of his candidacy for Prothonotary in the greenback party. Tut whole character of the greenback ticket may be inferred from the fact that it has a copper-head. It might be beaten into hard cents, a kind of money that green backers don't like, but it would be difficult to boat say hard sense into it. "SLACK water on the Juniata" received a death-blow in the greenback convention. How that thing would have gone through if Durborrow had been nominated. Will the people of Huntingdon county support the party that etruck down the slack•water agitator ? REV. DOYLE'S COMPLIMENT TO THE DErvIOCRATS. Editor. We had an experiencal and skilit'al re porter at the Greenback convention who took down carefully the various speeches made during the proceedings. The Moni tor also obtained report.; of the speeches, portions of which it published last week. We find, however, that it omitted a part of Rev. Doyle's remarks, a very brief part, it is true, but, in view of the present po litical situation, a very interesting and im portant one. Mi. Doyle, as a candidate in the new party, thought it necessary, or advisable, to say that he had dissolved his connection with the Republicans and that he could not go over to the Democrats. In fact, he was expected to say something of this kind when called upon, with other candidates, "to define his position." But in speaking of the Democratic party, he went f'arther than was intended, it being presumed by the managers that neither he nor the others would be so indiscreet as to say anything so coarse, or bitter, or denun ciatory, or even so truthful, of the Demo cratic party, as to render a Democratic en dorsement of the ticket impossible. While as mild towards the Republicans as lie could be under the circumstances, ho was most sarcastic towards the Democrats, ex pressing the feelings imbibed during his long career as a Republican. His language was as follows, the portion omitted by the Monitor being designated by italics and capitals : '•I have always bean a Republican. It is a little strange that an Irishman should be, but strange things will happen, and for reasons sufficiently convincing to myself, I have been a Republican and acting with them while I thought there was any use to act. For a few years I have not voted, because I didn't see any ure in voting the ticket after the party Lad ceased to do what it started out to do ; and to look to the Democratic party for salvation, I never thought of that in my lift; (cheers and laughter.) No good thing comes out of— no, not Nazareth—BUT THAT OTHER PLACE" (immense cheers and laughter.) "That other place," is the phrase by which sa "mild a mannered man" as Rev. Doyle refers to the locality about the existence of which there is some controversy among theologirns, and which we called last week by its right name. It is a comparison be tween the Democratic party and Hell and a very unfavorable one for the party. That the Monitor regarded it in this light is evident from the fact that it suppressed the words which to it were, of course, ob jectionable. Having greater political fore- sight than Rev. Doyle, it merely omitted what, according to its view, he should not have said—a severer condemnation, per haps, than our comments. He has never thought, then, of looking to "that other place," which "no good thing comes out of." That may have been so when he spoke to the convention. But we think now, that he is not only looking to it, but is willing to go to it. He is wanting to be invited. Will the Democrats please call their convention soon and not keep hill] in suspense. WE have several times called attention to the opposition of the Democrats in Con ress- and out of it to the passage of the le gal tender act in 1862, and to the whole financial policy of the government during the war. So bitter did this opposition be come, and, so great was the danger ofa rapid depreciation of our currency, that in 1864, Congress, speaking for the people of the United States, speaking to the creditors of the nation, to the holders of our bonds and other obligations, passed an act declaring and promising that the amount of legal tender notes should never exceed four hun dred millions of dollars. The Democrats alleged that. the greenbacks would become worthless, called them "rag money," and predicted that the time would conic when it would take a bushel of them to buy a bushel of potatoes. The general denun ciation by the Democrats of the Republi can financial legislation had a tendency to bring about the very result they said would come, and to prevent the consequences they were aiming at, the Republicans were obliged to place a limit upon the volume of legal tender currency. For the pledge then made the Democrats must bear a part of the responsibility and ought to be the last to suggest a violation of it. But the men who are now in favor of converting the entire national debt into greenbacks, are the same who opposed all greenbacks in 1862. They would now repudiate the limiting act of 1864, and would no doubt afterwards repudiate the debt itself. Upon this subject, we commend the following emphatic and appropriate language of Sen ator Blaine : I charge the greenback agitator not only with standing on an absurd and visionary theory, not only with flying in the face of the experience of all nations in all countries, but I charge him with a still more serious and still more flagitious course of action. I charge him with inviting you and me to violate a solemn and repeated and emphatic pledge given by this nation in articulo mortis, as we then feared, given with as sacred a will as the man who in drowning, to save himself from de struction beneath the waves, should say, "Save ine and I will keep this pledge." " THE Greenback Labor Reform Club," of Huntingdon, as it is labeled, undertook , on Friday night last, to doctor up the can didates for Legislature, the pledge in re gard to the election of a United States Senator, the dissatisfied g'zeenbackers, and the party generally. An effort was made to remedy the mistakes, the shortcomings, and the omissions of the recent convention, and to exact promises of support from those who had expressed any opposition to the ticket. The Club showed its want of con fidence in Foust and Doyle by requiring a new pledge in much stronger terms than the one given the convention, and by put ting it in writing and requiring their sig natures thereto. It is usual for conven tion to select candidates whose political in tegrity is unquestionable and who can be relied upon without any pledges at all. We would say that Mr. Doyle's word ought to be good, whatever may be said of Foust's, and that a verbal promise from him should have been satisfactory, but his new-found allies, it seems, have not as high an opin ion of him, and have bound him up in black and white, so that the document can be produced as evidence of his want of fidelity if be should "go back" on them. Foust is the one that most needs watching. SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL, SOMETHING TO STUDY. The following statement, compiled by the Treasury Department at Washington from the official records, showing the amount of money of various kinds in cir culation on the 30th of June, the close of each fiscal year, from 1862 to 1878, inclu sive, and its value in coin, will repay at tentive perusal and study. Inflationist s and repudiators have made so many wild, unfounded and untruthful statements in regard to financial matters, have been so much interested in misrepresenting the facts, and have dealt so largely in figures that were incomprehensible to those whom they desired to mislead and deceive, that the reliable data herewith presented has an especial value. Any who have fallen into the error that there has recently been a large contraction of the currency should now be set right. On the other hand, the fact should be impressed upon them that the purchasing power of our currency is now greater than it has been at any time during the last four years, and that at but two former periods, 1865 and 1874, did its coin value exceed its present value. Those who are in favor of sustaining our financial system should post themselves in these figures, so that they may meet the fallacies which those who are as anxious to destroy our national credit to day as they were during the war are urging: Amount of and value in coin—the money of commerce—of the circulating paper currency in the United States at the undermentioned dates : Amount face Atnt. coin val- Value value. ue or purchas- per ct ing power. 1862, $333,425,079 $288,769,500 $0 86.6 1863, 649,867,282 497,798,338 0 76.6 1864, 833,718,984 322,649,246 0 38.7 1865, 983,318,685 692,256,354 0 70.4 1866, 891,004,685 588,657,092 066 1867, 826,927,153 592,966,769 0 71.7 1868, 720,412,602 505,009,234 0 70.1 1869, 693,946,056 510,050,351 0 73.5 1870, 700,375,899 599,521,759 0 85.6 1871, 717,875,751 638,909,418 089 1872, 738,570,903 646,249,540 0 87.5 1873, 750,062,368 648,053,886 0 86.4 1874, 781,490,916 711,156,733 091 1875, 773,646,728 674,619,947 0 87.2 1876, 738,376,535 660,848,999 0 89.5 1877, 698,194,269 661,189,973 0 94.7 1878, 688,597,275 684,465,691 0 99.4 OBSERVATIONS Ist. The State-bank circulation in 1860 Wail $202,102,477. The State-bank circulation in 1861 was $202,005,767. 2d. The above tables are official and give the whole currency circulation, including Treas ury notes, State-bank notes, fractional cur rency, time notes, demand notes, legal tender notes, compound interest and National bank notes. 3d. It will be seen that only at two periods, 1865 and 1874, did the purchasing power of the currency exceed its present power, and in 1865 only for a brief period, (during an extra ordinary disbursement to pay off the army) and then only in the small sum of $7,790,663.15, and in 1874, the year following the great panic, which has been erroneously charged to con traction. 4th. Specie resumption would add the two hundred millions of Government coin to the circulating currency ; thus giving, with the private hordiugs that would be let loose, a circulating medium exceeding by more than $200,000,000 the currency at any other period in the history of the country. sth. In the year 1870, which was prosper ous, the nominal value of the currency was $700,375,899.48, the coin value of which was $599,521,769.95. The circulation gradually rose to 756,062,368.94, face value and coin value of $648,053,886.76 in 1873—the year of the panic—and to $781,490,916.17 in 1874 ; thus the panic occurred on an increased circu lation of 50,000,000, and continued under an increase of more than 80,000,000. Is it not, then apparent that the panic was not caused by contraction ? Is it not equally apparent that its effects would not be effaced by an un healthy inflation ? Is it not better to resume coin payment, and thus secure a healthy infla• tion of $200,000,000 in coin? This would•2ar ry the purchasing power of the currency above what it has ever been, and its nominal value to near 900,000,000, or within less than $lOO,- 000,000 face value of the highest circulation attained during the war, and greater by nearly 200,000,000 in real value than at any other period. 6th. The steady and almost uniform depre cation of the currency, as the volume was in creased, affords incontestible proof that, be yond the ordinary demands of business, a pa per circulation cannot be maintained with advantage to the country, and that its increase beyond such business demands does not add to its purchasing power or real value. 7th. It cannot be doubted that the Govern. ment circulating notes or greenbacks affords a satisfactory currency ; and it is equally cer tain that the nearer the value of such note ap proaches a coin standard, the more satisfacto ry it is to the people. It should be the equiv alent of coin and interchangeable with coin at the will of the holder, and receivable for all public and private dues. Its volume may, with safety, on this basis be increased to the legitimate demands of the business interests of the country : beyond that it cannot be made to promote the general prosperity. Bth. There has been since 1868 only a very trifling contraction in the currency, taken at its face value. In that year the whole cur rency circulation was $720,412,602.75. It is now at face value, $688,597,275.27, showing a diminution in nominal value of only $31,815,- 327.48. The real value of the currency in 1868 was $505,009,234.52. The present real value or power of the currency is $681,465,691.61 ; thus exceeding the purchasing power in 1868 by the sum of $179,456,457.10 ; showing that, in the last ten years, the appreciation of the currency has compensated for the contraction and $147,641,129.62 more—its business power being greater in this sum than it was in 1868. 9th. Very nearly the whole apparent differ ence between the paper circulation in 1868 and 1878 is accounted for by the withdrawal of fractional currency, for which subsidiary silver coin has been substituted, but which is not included in the foregoing table. Add the subsidiary silver circulation to the fractional currency outstanding and the difference—face value between 1868 and 1878—will be less than three millions of dollars, while the pur chasing power of the currency at the present time will exceed that of 1868 by more than $150,000,000.00. Fouts years ago and, again, two years ago, we were told that all that was neces sary to bring the panic to an end and to restore financial prosperity, was to elect Democrats to Congress. The people, de luded by false hopes and promises, did give that party a majority in the House of Representatives, and have reaped the re sult in disappointment, in greater financial distress, in mortification, in sorrow, and shame. Now we arc told, with equal effront ery and want of reason, that the ills of which the country complains are to be re moved by the new National party, and the a4sertion is made by the same men who claimed that power for the Democrats. No trust is to be placed in politicians, espe cially in political prophets. They have de ceived us once, yes, twice, to our bitter re gret, and to repose our confidence in them again w ill be but to increase the evils they have so long compelled us to endure. THE commercial firm of which Gover nor Bishop, of Ohio, is the head, has failed. In this State we intend to let the Democratic candidate for Governor fail at the election, and not after he goes into office. Bishop attributes his failure to shrinkage in values. Dill's will be caused by shrinkage in votes. THE greenbackers showed no apprecia tion of A. W. Wright's efforts to conduct the financial affairs of the county with economy and prudence during his term as Commissioner. Perhaps he didn't hand out the greenbacks freely enough. He deserved the compliment ofa renomination. IT is thought by some that North's nomination for Congress by the Green backers of this county is an empty honor, as there is no greenback organization in any county of the district but Huntingdon, and no chance of electing a greenback candidate. But it must be remembered that the matter or honor was not taken into consideration. It was altogether a question of utility, of benefit to the Dem ocrats. Mr. North declared his intention of using the conferees for the nomination of a candidate in some other county, and how natural it will be for him to favor some person who can do injury to the Re publicans and none to the Democrats WALTER H. SIIUPE, editor of the New York Advocate, a paper that has a large circulation in this county, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy on Saturday last. The Jidvocate was a greenback organ and was furnished to subscribers at the re markably low price of twenty-five cents per year. If it fails to come to hand here after, those who havt been taking it can console themselves with the reflection that they have had encugh for their money. TIIE treenbackers made no nomination for District AttorLey, although competent gentlemen could have been found who would have been glad to have accepted the position. The vacancy will of course be filled by the Democrats when they meet to endorse the greenback ticket. They will be satisfied with one strai&hc Democratic candidate. WHERE does the greenback club of Hun tingdon get its authority for requiring new pledges from the candidates for Assembly? Are Foust and Doyle to be travelled around over the county for the purpose of allay ing dissatisfaction by giving each club or greenbacker any promise, and in writing too, that may be required ? If so, there will be as many pledges as clubs. TEE insinuation that the word of Foust and Doyle is not to be relied upon comes from their party friends. Nobody else, perhaps, would require written pledges from them. It is an insult to a minister of the gospel that was never offered him before he went into politics. FOUST and Doyle are to vote fur a green backer for United States Senator until re. leased from this obligation by the green back county committee. So they have pledged themselves to the greenback club of Huntingdon. And now the committee ought to break that club over somebody's head for its officious intermeddling. IF the Democrats should go to Harris burg to shake hands with Governor Dill in the costume that Chairman Speer sug gested to them at Bedford, it would cer tainly be a kind of a "shirt-tail" adminis• tration.

The Achievements of Stanley and Other African Explorers. Being a complete History of Stanley's Explora tions in Africa ; together with \ a,oonci account of the late explorations by Bake C eron and others. By lion• J. T. Iteadle . Hubbard Bros., Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati and Springfield. No recent event has excited a deeper and more wide-spread interest in the country, than the brilliant achievement of Henry M. Stanley in the field of African Exploration. Ever since the announcement of his arrival, in a famished condition, at the mouth of the Congo, the public have eagerly awaited a detailed account of his thrilling experiences, and the results of his discovery. The announcement therefore of this volume, from the pen of so brilliant and popular an author as Mr. J. T. Headley, will be received with lively interest and satisfaction, and this interest will be greatly heightened by an examination of the book itself. Since the death of Livingstone, the work of exploration has been pushed with great vigor. Sir Samuel W. Baker with a small army under royal authority, ascended the Nile, and was the first European to penetrate from the north into the great Central Lake region. Lieut. Cameron, of the English Royal Navy, reached the same region from the east, and then push ed across the Continent overland, to the western coast, and last and greatest of all, the daring and intrepid Stanley, breaking through the barriers which had proved insuperable to all former explorers, in the face of a thousand perils by savages, cataracts, disease, wild beasts and starvation, forced his way down the dark river, 2500 miles, and solved the great mystery by proving the Lualaba river discovered by Livingstone to be verily the headwaters of the mighty Congo, and thus opening a grand highway from the west coast to the heart and treasures of one of the most populous and productive continents of the globe. A more intensely interesting and exciting narrative we have never read. To follow the brave Stanley in his marvelous voyage down the unknown river, fighting thirty-two battles with man eating savages, passing fifty-seven cataracts and rapids, to read of the desertion of a large number of his party panic stricken at the terrors of the forest; of threatened starvation in the middle of the great river whose banks were filled with hostile savages ; of the enormous labor in hewing through dense jungle to pass the great cataracts ; of the vast Wonder-land bordering this mighty river, rich in ivory, minerals and fruits, where "Rvery prospect pleases and only man is vile," to learn of all the incidents and adventures of this marvellous journey, and of the grand ovations which have everywhere honored the indomitable Ameri can, one must follow the thrilling pages of this book. The publishers deserve great praise for the superb manner in which they have brought out the work. The beauty of its typography and binding and the number and excellence of engravings, are in keeping with its value and character. Undoubtedly it will be more extensively read than any other book of the year. Overtasking the Energies. It is not advisable for any of us to overtask our energies, corporeal or mental, but in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame or knowledge, how many transgress this salutary rule. It must be a matter of great importance to all who do so to know how they can regain the vigor so recklessly expended. The remedy is neither costly or difficult to obtain. Ilostet ter's Stomach Bitters is procurable in every city, town and settlement in America, and it compensates for a drain of bodily or mental energy more effectually than any invigorant ever prescribed or advertised. Laboring men, athletes, students, journalists, lawyers, cler gymen, physicians, all bear testimony to its wondrously renovating powers. It increases the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and counteracts the injurious effects upon the system of exposure, sedentary habits, un healthy or wearying avocations, or an insalu brious climate, and is a prime alterative, diuretic and blood depurent.
