Paper in the Juniata Valley.
EX-GOV. HARTRANFT has at last made
up his mind and accepted the postmaster
ship of Philadelphia.
SOME lunatic in California recommends
secession unless the President signs the
anti-Chinese bill. The fools are not all
dead, and California has at least one of
them.
THE king of 13;irmah, Thee Bew, has
just murdered two princes and eighty six
of their relatives, to get them out of his
way, fearing that they might endanger his
seat upon the throne.
JUDGING from the tone of this week's
Nationalist, and the sickly appearance of
its advertising columns, we are inclined to
think that it is about to yield up the ghost,
and die for want of patronage. Vale.
ON TUESDAY Gov. Hoyt sent the name
of Henry W. Palmer, of Ltizerne county,
to the Senate, for confirmation, as Attor
ney General. His nomination was prompt
ly confirmed without a dissenting voice.
HON. H. G FISHER was in Washington
on Monday, and during his sojourn in the
"city of magnificent distances" spent a
brief period on the floor of the lower
House, where his official position will call
him during the XLVIth Congress.
IN THE Pittsburgh court, on Saturday
last, W. L. Scott and Joseph Roach, mem
bers of an election board in that city, who
were recently convicted of ballot-box stuff
ing, were sentenced to pay a fine each of
$lOO and serve one year in the county
prison.
THE citizens of LackawaLna county
have sent a petition to the Legislature
praying for the impeachment of Wm. H
Stanton, the additional law judge in that
county. Since then Stanton tendered his
resignation, which was promptly accepted
by Gov. Hoyt.
COL, FORNEY, in Progress, says that
when Tilden attempts to make him
self ignorant of the work in his behalf
done by Pelton, Weed and Marble, "he
falls into the dilemma of the witness who
swears that he did not know of the confla
gration that drove him out of his own
house !"
DURING the speech of Gen. Shields, in
the United States Senate, on Thursday
last, in favor of granting pensions to the
veterans of the Mexican war, he asserted
that the Pension Bureau had reported to
Congress "a larger army of Mexican vet
erans alive to day than ever stood on
Mexican soil at one time with arms in
their hands."
DURING the past ten days there has
been trouble among the coal miners in
Washington and Fayette counties. Some
fifty mines, who had struck, entered the
miners, and induced miners who were at
work to quit. Charges of riot and con
spiracy were preferred against them, aud
the Sheriff, with three hundred and thirty
deputies, proceeded to arrest them, and
about thirty of the conspirators were
lodged in jail.
T. P. RYNDER, for a long time connect
ed with the Altoona Sun, as canvasser
and collector, severed his connection with
that paper last week by a stroke of his
little pencil. Mr. R. charged, in a letter to
the Tribune, that a candidate on the Dem
ocratic ticket at the late municipal election
in that city had been stricken down be
cause he was a Catholic. The Sun couldn't
see it in that light, hence the withdrawal
of Mr. Rynder.
TEIE people of California appear to have
gone wild in their opposition to the
Chinese. The Chinese in San Francisco,
if they are as bad as reported, must have
learned all their dirty tricks from the
sandlot hoodlums, who are now crying out
against their pupils. If the decent people
of San Francisco would make an effort to
banish the blackguard Dennis Kearney
from their midst, and leave the Chinese
alone, they would be doing a great bene
fit to themselves.
A MAN named P. Rice Ferguson, who
had held an important position in the post
al service at Philadelphia, and who had
been arrested in December last for tamp
ering with letters and stealing money
therefrom, committed suicide, in his cell,
in the prison, in that city, on Monday
morning by drinking an ounce of prussic
acid. Before his detection the unfortu
nate man was held in high esteem and
looked upon as one of the most responsi.
ble men in the service.
IN THE fall of 1876 Horatio Bisbee was
elected to Congress by the Republicans of
the Second Florida district, having a clear
majority of eighteen on the face of the re
turns, and of 319 according to the recount
ordered by the Supreme Court of the State.
The vote for Bisbee was 11,337, and for
Finley, his Democratic opponent, 11,018
Mr. Bisbee took his seat in the House of
Representatives, has performed the duties
of the position up to the present time, and
his term would have expired on March 4,
less than a fortnight hence. But on
Thursday the Democratic majority of the
House, laying aside the all important work
upon the appropriation bills, took up the
contested election case of Finley against
Bisbee, devoted four hours to its discussion
and finally awarded the seat to Finley, the
Democratic contestant. Mr. Finley will
have ten working days in which to serve
his country as a Representative, and will
draw from the United States Treasury
about $ll,OOO for his valuable services
The vote on this question was 131 to 122
only three Democrats voting in the nega
tive. The three impartial Democrats were
Mr. Torney, of Pennsylvania (a member
of the Committee on elections); Mr. Har
rison, of Illinois, and Mr. Hart, of New
York. This being the era of Democratic
retrenchment and reform, it is well to note
in passing, the freedom with which our
Representatives parcel out the public
funds among their hungry dependents—
Lancaster Examiner of Friday.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
The fdlowiu weii timed article, which
we find in last week's issue of the Bradford
Reporter, expresses our views exactly, and
contains so much truth that we give it our
endorsement and trath-fer it to our columns
Editor.
as our own
"Looking forward, the skies are not
clear. The country has passed thro' great
vicissitudes, and endured enormous waste
of life and treasure, without any apparent.
impairment of its recuperative powers .
Every man for himself feels that the
greater possibilities of growth and progress
are yet untouched. in one sense the civil
war disclosed national strength, while in
another it betrayed national weakness. It
disclosed national strength in its revelation
of the latent under currents of patriotism,
upon which, through varying fortunes, the
republic was borne forward to final victory;
and it betrayed national weakness because
it illustrated the tendencies to disintegra
tion which have been a marked character
istic of republics at all times. When the
last rebel army surrendered, we congrat
ulated each other that at least some of the
vexed questions were settled ; we said that
at least the heresy of paramount State
Rights was disposed of, and that the al
leged rights of a State to determine for
itself whether it would bear allegiance to
the Constitution and laws made pursuant
thereto, or cast off that allegiance, was de
termined finally in the negative by the
highest of all authority—the people them
selves. Men are not si free to affirm
either of these things now. The utter
epees of Southern orators and editors, kept
in abeyance for many years, are now borne
to the ears of the people of the North on
every Southern breeze. The old leaven
leavens the lump of Southern sentiment
still. We hear the old, familiar, insolen t
tones of the men who cracked their whip
over the Northern doughfaces in WILMOT'S
time, and we see the leaders of the Demo
cratic party ducking their heads to escape
the lash, just as they did then.
'Prophecy goes for little in current
history, and the prophets must expect to
be stoned in life and canonized in death .
Had any man prophesied fifteen years ago
that in the year 1879 there would be more
Confederate ex soldiers than Union soldiers
in Congress, he would have been hooted
out of the community. Some men feared
it, but we know of none who ventured to
say it. But it is to be so. The next
senate will show nearly as many ex• Co
nfederate soldiers as there are Republicans,
and not many of the Republican Senators
were Union Brigadiers. The House, pos.
sibiy, may show nearly as marked a dis
parity. What does this signify ? So far
as we know, not one of the Confederate
members of Congress ever admits that he
was in the wrong when he rebelled and
took up arms against the Federal Govern
ment. Most of them declare that they
were engaged in a holy cause It is not
many days since Mr. EUSTIS, of Louis
iana, said in Congress that the only really
loyal men in the South during the war
were in the Confederate army. Suppose
any of us puts himself in the place of Mr.
EUSTIS; then revolt against the Constitu
tion and the Union becomes the highest.
evidence of loyalty, and the men who led
the Union forces become criminals. That.
is the point from which the policy of the
nation is to be dictated fur two years to
come. Yet these Southern Democrats are
positive and aggressive, and they will rule
the party and dictate its nominations in
1880 .
"Perhaps the gentlemen who a few years
ago discovered that the Republican party
had outlived its usefulness, may now re
turn from their pleasant stroll in the realms
of imagination and look at the hard and
merciless facts. Against this tide of re
actic,n, what can be interfered and made
effective save a solid and aggressive party ?
Is there anything else in the arsenal of
politics equal to the defense of the nation
against this menace of Democratic power
regair.ed ? We know of nothing. We
only know that unless Republicans with
draw from the pursuit of a phantom, and
stand shoulder to shoulder as they did
twenty years ago, and determine to strike
often and strike hard at the head of treason
wherever it shows itself, we shall once
more find ourselves face to face with a re
volt to which the past will seem ordinary
in comparison. For these men have con
tinually given men to understand that they
have done nothing wrong; and if they
have done nothing wrong, they have been
defeated in their effort to do right; and if
they have been defeated in a righteous en
deavor, then as honest men they are bound
to make the attempt to retrieve their
losses. The appeal to arias was denied;
the next appeal will lie to the three
branches of the Government. They have
Congress. Perhaps some may say that we
have the Executive and the Judiciary.
True; but should the Executive prove an
obstacle, these men will not scruple to re
move him and put # man of their own in
his place. They cannot afford to wait the
issue of 18S0; for unless the Republicans
literally fling their chances away, the elec
tion of a Democratic President in 1880
will not be possible. It is just now that
the Republican party needs to stand firm
and determined ; watchful, active and un
compromising. That way lies our safety
as a people."
OUT IN Blairsville, a few days ago, three
scholars, two named Spiney and one named
Lear, rebclled against the discipline of the
teacher, Mr. Austin Clarke, and when he
undertook to enforce it, one of them struck
him with a billy, breaking his jaw, and
another of them struck him with a poker
and broke his nose. On the Monday suc
ceeding the brutal attack Mr. Clarke died
from his injuries, and the younger Spiney
and Leer are in prison to answer the
charge of murder. The other Spiney ran
away, and at present writing has eluded
arrest.
WE ARE pleased to note the fact that
Col. W. H. H. Brainerd. who for some
time past has been associated with Judge
Darrow in the editorial management of the
Sidney, (Neb.) Telegraph, has become sole
editor of that paper. Brainerd has the
necessary amount or "get up" in him to
make the paper interesting. Here's our
hand, old boy. Shake
A CORRESPONDENT freai Hovtsrd, Cen
tre county, Pa , writing the Philadelphia
Press concerning the Curtin Yocuru Con
gressional contest in that vicinity, divulges
the plan in which -our Andy" expects to
defraud Mr. Yocum out of his sevt in the
next Congress, but we could expe , :t noth
ing better from a man who has sold his
political birth-right fbr a mess of Demo
critic pottage. The correspondent says :
The Curtin Yocum contest has develop
ed a new system of political crookedness,
which, if successful will deprive the ru
ffle of this district of their honestly and
legally-elected Representative. Some twen
ty days after the November election, a
"Curtin detective," in the disguise of a
Greeubacker, appeared in this place, and
made the acquaintance of Charles Strunk,
a member of the Greenback Club of this
district. After they had both looked upon
the "wine when it was red," the detective
asked Strunk "if he had been paid for
voting for Yocum." Strunk replied that
he "had not, and was not aware that any
person was entitled to pay for his vote."
Strunk was then informed by the detective
that every person in Howard who voted
for Yocum was to have received $lO, and
as Yoeum's agent had missed him (Strunk),
he would give him the $lO now, as he
(the detective) could get it back from Yo
cum ; after which the detective got Strunk
to acknowledge before a witness that he
had received $lO for voting for Yocum,
although the money was received nearly
one month after the election, and paid by
one of Curtin's agents. Strunk's business
called him out or the district, consequent•
ly he did not receive the summons to tes
tify in the matter, but the person who
heard Strunk admit that lie had received
$lO for voting for Yocum was summoned,
and testified to that fact, and the "detect
ive" testified that he gave Strunk $lO for
voting for Yocum, and hence Strunk's
vote is thrown out, and one vote made
for Curtin. It is supposed that this kind
of a "set up" has been "put up" all over
the district "
THE Harrisburg Telegraph says that a
more rigid system is to be instituted for
the examination of pensioners, by the di
vision of the country into districts, over
which a commissioner is to be placed, or
ganized with experts and surgeons, whose
duty it will be to pass from point to point
within the limits of their prescribed dis
tricts and examine all pens , oners and those
applying for pensions, deciding upon their
merits, &'c Just where this will be an
improvement on the old system we cannot
see, and in the meantime hundreds of
worthy men who have. earned the bounty
and the pension of the Government by
gallant service in the army or navy, will
be compelled to wait fur it in suffering and
dejection.
THE editors of the Fulton Democrat,
Capt. Geo. W. and W. B. Skinner, have
been held in $1,500 bail to answer the
Rev. Benjamin Speck on a charge of libel.
Mr. Speck was the Republican candidate
for the Assembly in Fulton county last
fall, and the charge grew out of a publica
tion against him during the campaign.
SHREWDNESS AND ABILITY.—Ihip
Bitters so freeely advertised in all the papers,
secular and religious, are having a large sale,
and are supplanting all other medicines.
There is no denying the virtues of the Hop
plant, and the proprietors of these Bitters
have shown great shrewdness and ability in
compounding a Bitters, whose virtues are so
palpable to every one's observation.—Ex.
1eb.21- 21.
ALI. CLAIMED FOR IT.—S fiaviland,
Salix, lowa, says of the Perfected Butter Color
of Wells, Richardson d Co., Burlington, Vt.
"I find it to be all that is claimed. It in
ci eased the selling price of my butter from 21
to 25 cents.'
Our Tenure of Life
Depends in great measure upon our regard fur
or neglect of the laws of health. If we violate
them we cannuot expect to "make old bones."
But that the span of existence allotted to a
naturally delicate constitution, or one which
has been shaken by disease may be materially
lengthened, is a fact of which we have daily
proof. The vivifying and restorative influ
ence of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon a
failing physique affords a striking illustration
of the power of judicious medication to
strengthen the hold on life. Restored diges
tion, complete assimilation, renewed appetite,
sound repose, these are among the benefits
conferred upon the debilitated by that supreme
renovant. With a circulation enriched, a
frame invigorated, and a nervous system
tranquilized, the invalid, after a course of the
Bitters, feels that his life tenure is no longer
the precarious thing that it was—that he may
yet enjoy a "green old age." ifeb.7-Im.
A RAVEN STANDARD.—The banner of
despair floats no longer over people who suffer
from kidney troubles, torpid livers, piles and
diseases which come from inactive bowels,
after a few doses of Kidney-Wort. For piles
it works pleasantly and with healing effects.
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron.
This truly valuable tonic has been so
thoroughly tested by all classes of the com
munity that it is now deemed indispensable
as a Tonic medicine. It costs but little,
purifies the blood and gives tone to the stom
ach, renovates the system and prolongs life.
Everybody should have it.

Debility, Indigestion, Diseases of the Stomach,
and for all cases requiring a tonic.
