The Huntingdon Journal J. A. NASH, ITUNTINGDON, PENN'A DECEMBER 6, 1878. FRIDAY , - Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. A CHANCE FOR ALL. Those of our country subscribers who are in arrears can pay their in debtedness by bringing us corn, oats, potatoes, apples, &c., which will be received as so much cash at prices paid by Henry & Co. This offer will stand good for two weeks from this date, and we hope our friends will avail themselves of the opportunity to get square without the outlay of the cash. 2t. SOME one proposes that a second World's Fair be held in New York city in 1889. THOSE Democrats who intend leaving the country if Grant should be re-elected, have about two years in which to get out THE commission of Judge Agnew ex pired on Saturday last, and now Judge George Sharawood ia Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. THE Board of Pardons is in session au Harrisburg this week. The case of Jack Kehoe, the leader of the Mollie Maguires, will be brought before it. THE inauguration of Gov. Hoyt will take place on January 21st, and promises to be one of the grandest affairs of the kind ever witnessed at the State capital. A RUMOR from over the water has it that Gen. Grant has been proposed for King of Belgium, in fact that he has been asked to accept it, but the distinguished soldier and statesman won't don the robes of royalty. Lours A. GODEY, the veteran journalist and founder of Godey's Lady Book, who continued as its editor and proprietor to within two years, died suddenly, at his residence in Philadelphia, on Friday night, at the ripe old age of seventy-five years. • AN incendiary fire in Beaver, Pa., on Saturday morning last, destroyed some seven or eight business houses, and en tailed a loss of about $40,000, part of which is covered by insurance. Two per sons have been arrested on suspicion of having fired the buildings. AUDITOR GENERAL SCHELL has ap pointed Col. John C. Everhart, of Mar tinsburg, registering clerk in his office, which position was made vacant by the death of bis brother, Col. E. L. Everhart, the particulars of whose death and burial will be found in the local columns of to day's JOURNAL. THE Chambersburg Repository : "Four years or two terms, may be accepted here after as the utmost limit of Congressional service, in any district of which Franklin county may form a ►art_ There is no in. stance in the last half century of any member of Congress having been elected for a third term in this district." AT considerable expense we issue the President's Message and a brief summary of the Department Reports, in the shape of a supplement and furnish it to our readers with this week's JOURNAL. The document is brief, but discusses fully the important questions of the day. We ask for it a careful perusal. THE papers of Thursday contained a telegram to the effect that ex State Treas urer, Hon. R. W. Mackey was ill nigh unto death, but since that time we have failed to see any announcement of his con dition, and we take it for granted that he is out of danger and recovering his health• The Republican party of this State could illy afford to lose such a man as Hon. R. W. Mackey. 'THE History of Cumberland," by Will H. Lowdermilk, esq , editor of the Civil ian, who has spent several years in the preparation of the work, has completed his labors, and the book is now in the hands of the binder, and will be ready for delivery in a very 6hort time. It em braces a full and complete history of the t)wn of Cumberland from the year 1728 up to the present time. It should find a large and ready sale. A DISPATII from Philadelphia to the Cincinnati Enquirer says that Gov. Curtin proposes to contest the- seat of Seth Y. Yocum. The same dispatch says that frauds enough have been discovered in one county to give Curtin over two hundred of a ma jority. The Democoats die hard, and if the ex-Governor secures a seat in Congress through the dishonesty of the Democratic House, after the people have said that they did not want him, it will only sink him lower in the estimation of his former friends and ardent supporters. THAT CARD.—Chairman Eck tries to be witty at our expense, and in his efforts to appear so he gets some one to write him a "card," in which he twits us about our frequent appeals to those owing us to pay up. If the gentleman will drop in and pay us the five dollars charged on our books against him for publishing his an nouncement as a candidate for Sheriff be fore the Republican County Convention of 1877, we will have one less delinquent to "dun," and the amount will be so much towards preventing us from"going up." Office hours from 7 A. M , to 8 P. M THERE will be no difference of opinion among Republicans as to the wisdom of retaining Col. Quay as Chairman of the State Committee until after the Presiden tial campaign of 1880. This has already been suggested in several quarters, and surely no change in the party manage ment will be thought of, if Col, Quay can be prevailed upon to accept the position during the campaigns of the next two years. Reluctant as he may be to do so, party considerations should be a sufficient inducement, and after he has led us to new victories be should be rewarded with the election to the United States Senator ship as ibe successor of Mr. Wallace. EDUCATE the SOUTHERN NEGRO. A hundred thousand Democratic major ity in South Carolina, at the late election, is not believed by anybody to have been the result of a fair vote of the people. Not only were the ballot boxes stuffed by the Democrats, and Republicans kept away from the polls by threats and intimida tion, but advantage was taken of the igno rance of the negroes, many of whom were deceived into voting the Democratic tick it. During the days of slavery, it was a criminal offense in the South to teach a negro his alphabet, and the condition in which his servitude and the laws of that section left him, places him at the politi eal mercy of his white master. As soon as education has elevated the negro to the position a freemen should occupy. he will vote the Republican ticket, or if he choses to vote otherwise he will do so intelligent ly. It is the duty of the Government, State or National, to give him this educa tion, and as the Southern States are averse to doing anything for his welfare, or that will raise him from his political subjec tion, the nation at large should do for him what is demanded, not only for his bene fit, but for its own safety. The education of the negro is the next necessary step in raising hint to citizenship and to the prop er exercise of the rights and duties incident thereto When this step has been taken the Southern slave master will never again cheat, bulldoze or deceive Editor.

Many times the small cost will be re turned to every person, in the country, or village, or city, who supplies himself and family with the plain, practical, reliable, useful, paying intOrmation given in the ,Rmerican Agriculturist.

NEWSPATORIAL.- The Carlisle Volunteer has been pur chased by the Messrs. Sanderson of Lan caster. Rumor has it that the Johnstown Dena ocrat will begin the publication of a daily edition about the first of the year. We are glad to learn that subscribers to Crawford's Holiday Good Things are rolling in in goodly numbers. Everybody should subscribe G. T. Morlock, esq., for the pact two years local editor of the Clinton Republi can, last week severed his connection with that paper. He will be succeeded by Mr. W. A. Kinsloe. Both gentlemen have our best wishes for their future success. . The material on which the old Altoona Morning Globe was printed, and which was purchased by Hon. John Cessna, of Bed ford, has been shipped to Houtzdale, where it will be used in running a job office, and assist in crippling the printing business in Clearfield county. There are too many "Peter Funk" job offices throughout the country. The Altoona Mirror of Saturday con tained the valedictory of its owner and founder, Mr. Harry Slep, whose failing health prompted him to dispose of the paper. The purchasers are Messrs. Buckingham and Nickodemus, the former gentleman baying been for a long time past editor of the paper. Mr. Slep will continue in charge of the job office and the publication of the Der Deutsche Volksfuchrer. We under stand the price paid for the newspaper was $3,000. We wish all parties any amount of success. The editor of the Mt. Union Times an. nounces in last week's issue that he in tends to issue a daily during the holiday season, to be, called "The Daily Times."— Ten numbers will be issued, commencing on the 23d inst. The price of the paper will be 10 cents for ten copies delivered by carriers and 15 cents when sent to mail subscribers. Editor Bair will sicken of the daily business before he gets through with his enterprise. We wish him any amount of good luck. A Harrisburg correspondent of the Pittsburgh Telegraph says that the gos sips at the State Capital talk of a change in the management of the Patriot. Wal lace thinks that Meyers does not Ftand up as he should and wants him out. The attitude of the Patriot towards the Barr-Wallace correspondence confirms this belief. Wallace wants Ben Whitman, of Erie, to look out for his interests in the capacity of manager of the Patriot, and it would nut surprise some people if the change were affected soon, A COMPLETE NEWSPAPER.—The en terprise that has made The Weekly Times 4ot only the best journal of its class in Philadelphia, but, by general acknowledg ment, the best journal for the, family circle issued from any press:is scrupulously main tained. Its contributors from week to week arc among the foremost men of the nation, and no department of news or laefature is slighted in any number on ally pretext. It is adapted as well to women as to men; hence, although its political in telligence is full and accurate and its polit cal editorials free and fearless, liberal provis ion is made for religious, literary, dratnat• is awl musical matters, wit and humor, travels awl adventure, fiction, poetry, fashions and the chronicle of current social events.

The special correspondents of The Weekly Times arc found at every news centre, embracing all American and Euro peas capitals, and they are charged to spare no labor or expense to give its read ers the best and earliest accounts of /wa ters of current interest in every depart recur of the world of new..

Tim Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic located in Philadelphia have es tablished an employment bureau. The plan for establishing the agency, as adopted at a meeting of delegates from the different Posts, says the object is "the procuring of employment for members of the Grand Army of the Republic, and for all dependent relatives of soldiers." The government of the Bureau is by a Board of Directors composed of one delegate from each Post in the city, and each mem ber of the. Board is held, strictly account able for the person he mly recommend to the Bureau. The agency is in charge of a manager whose duty it is "to be always posted in the wants and reluiretuen is of the business community, and to ba always active in making known to employers that good and reliable men, women and chil dren can be supplied to them through the agency." A list of the names of the widows, orphans, mothers, and sisters of soldiers in need of employment is to be kept, and work procured for them when ever possible, and it is made the duty of the delegate of each Post to supply to the manager each week a correct list of those comrades who are out of work, giving their occupation and residences. HoN. WM. A. WALLACE and James P. Barr, esq., of the Pittsburgh Post, have gone into the laundry business, and are just now engaged in washing their dirty linen. The Clearfield Republican, the Senator's borne organ, attacks the whole Barr family, which causes James P., editor of tie Post, to come to their defence, which he does in a two-column article crouched in the strongest kind of Anglo-Saxon. To the exclusion of our usual variety of mis cellaneous matter we this week publish on the first page of the JOURNAL this passage at arms between these gladiators of the Democratic arena. Read it, and learn the character of the leaders of the Democratic party as portrayed by themselves. The Tribune in its prospectus this year recounts fairly enough its work during the late campaign, and then warns the Repub lican party that the victories this Fall would have been reversed if the Green backers and Democrats had been united. In the possibility of this union, it thinks, lies the danger of the immediate future. It is undoubtedly right, therefore, in sum moning Republicans to the continued work of educating voters by the diffusion of sound political principles. The Tribune's services in the campaign were so influen tial, that its counsels now deserve special attention. It presents an attractive pro gramme of its own for next year, and its premiums are particularly dazzling. See its prospectus. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 30, 1878. A new phase of the Southern question has been developed by the approach of the time for taking the next census. It is re ported that the Southern Democrats have perfected a plan whereby the census offi cers in that section are to report a much larger population than actually exists, so that in case the ratio of Congressional rep resentation remains the same as now the South can increase its number of members, and in case the ratio is reduced it can hold its own. By no other means will it be possible for the South to retain its present power in National politics, for the West and Northwest will show a very heavy in crease of population and be entitled to a proportionate increase in members of Con gress. It is probable that the States of Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, lowa, Wisconsin, will together be entitled to about fifty per cent more representation after 1889, or about 20 more members, the extreme bor der States increasino- ° to the extent of one hundred per cent. New York, New Jer sey, Ohio and Michigan will also claim a small increase. Nearly all of this will be to the advantage of the Republicans. Therefore the reported scheme of the Dem • ocrats is plausible if it is improbable. But it would be difficult of exacution, unless we assume that Republican officials were in collusion with the Democrats to accom plish it. The Democrats are desperately in need of some means to keep up an ap pearance of strength, for the country is growing away from them with rapid strides. Many persons have been interviewed of late relative to the favorite candidate for the Presidency. On the Republican side no names are prominently mentioned ex cept Grant, Bi4iue aryl Cookling, all of whom seem to have more friends than ever before. General Sherman, Secretary Sher man. General Garfield and Vice President Wheeler are casually named, but they have - no very pronounced following. Thurman and Ilendrieks are the most conspicuous Democrats, although Tilden's friends pro. fess to believe that the cipher complica tions will be cleared away, and if so Tilden will be hard to beat. lie is a master o' political strategy, if not of ciphering, and his friends claim that he can carry New York as he always has done. But times have changed. The friends who ran Mr. Tilden's campaign in 1876 are smootched by ciphers if Mr. Tilden himself is not, and besides New York is now claimed a Republican State. The House Committee on Appropria tions which has been in session a few days has completed the Military Academy anti the Fortification bills, and authorized Rep• resentatives Durham and Biker to report them to the House next Tuesday. The , iVest Point bill makes the saute appropri ations as last year for the ordinary expen ses of the Academy. Judge Durham will call this bill up in the House next Wednesd ty. Mr. Baker will report the Fortification bill iu the same shape as to objects and amounts as at the last session--the total being $275,000. Mr. Singleton, who has charge or the Consular and Diplomatic bill, says he will be ready to report in a few days. El is bill will ni..t differ materially from that of last year. Several other appropriations will be ready for report in the course of two weeks. VOLUNTEER.

The world renowned success of Hostetter's Bitters, and their eoutinued popularity for a quarter of a century as a stomachic, is scarce ly more wonderful than the welcome that greets the annual appearance of Hostetter's Almanac.

Ten cylinder printing presses, 8 folding machines, 5 job presses, &c,, are running about eleven months in the year on this work, and the issue of same for 1879 will not be less than ten millions, printed in the English, German, French, Welch, Norwegian, Swedish, Holland, Bohemian and Spanish languages.

THE BEST AND MOST RELIABLE NEWSPAPER AT THE LEADING REPUBLICAN JOURNAL IN THE T"TIARRISIIIJRG DAILY TELECRAPII is now in its twenty-third year, and possesses a larger patronage and influence than ever before. Its facilities for gather ing news and placing it before its readers in the most compact and convenient form are unexcelled. The Tele graph is the only'paper in the State Capital which receives special telegraphic dispatches from its own correspond nts, and is the only evening paper that receives associa ted press dispatches. Its Congressional and Legislative reports are full and accurate, sod its market reports are guaranteed as reliable. The Telegraph is an unwavering supporter of the Re publican party, and advocates its principals at all times and under all circumstances ; but while it is thoroughly partisan, it will never defend, or attempt to shield, corrupt deeds omitted in the name of the party. On the course of the present National Administration the Tele graph will act as the good of the country seems to dictate rendering praise where it is merited and not withholding censure where it is deserved. To Republicans throughout the State who desire a reliable exponent of their views, the Telegraph is recom mended; while as a newspaper and a home journal no better paper can be taken. THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH. The Weekly Telegraph is a large nine column paper, made up of original matter and selections from the I)4ily telegraph. Its accurate and extensive market reports as well as its varied and interesting reading matter make the Weekly Telegraph a desirable journal for country people and former citizens of this neighborhood now residing in distant parts of the country.

Our success in filling the wants of those wanting an outside covering is not ono of luck, but of study, constant inquiry and long experience in the making as well as selling these garments. No part of our house requires such untiring watchfulness, no kind of merchandise is so worthless when out of style as a cloak—no department is more active in the season of selling. The materials used this season are Diagonals, in various widths, Matelasse, Fur Black Beavers, Silk Matelasses and Plain Silks; also, a rough-faced material called Camel's Hair, which is new, but not very pleasing to the eye. The articles used for Trimmings are Velvet/ Gros Grain, Grass Fringe, Fancy Gimps and Braids. As to shapes, the new things are of the Mantle order, but with a sleeve much more comfortable and yielding than garments of this character have been heretofore; the general effect, too, is more grace ful and pleasing. The Sacque, though, retains its old popularity, and is bound to be the leader with the majority. In shape it differs but little from last season. CHILDREN'S CLOAKS, from the smallest size up, have our best attention. They are made of Blue and Browr Beaver, Matelasse and Fancy Cloths, and cost from $4.00 upward. SHAWLS. The great variety of styles, materials, colors and weights wanted in a Shawl for d:ffbrent seasons and occasions, requires a most extensive stock to be able to suit even a majority of ensutuers. We are in condition now to suit more than a majority, having the greatest collection of staples, as well as novelties, in this line ever shown in Philadelphia—it.cluding even the rich fabrics of India, where years are often occupied in producing one Shawl. No department has received more personal attention than the Shawls, the buyer having visited Europe during the summer, and not only bought very largely of ready-made, but ordered made many styles which could not be procured otherwise. Those having a taste for the novel as well as beauti ful in Shawl's, should look through our collection.
