Republican State Convention.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania, and all
others in favor of an Honest Currency and
the faithful discharge of National Obligations,
and opposed to Communism and the Restora
tion to Power in the National Government of
the influences which procured the rebellion of
1861, are requested to send delegates, appor
tioned accordingly to their representation in
the Legislature, to a Convention to meet at
Harrisburg, at 12 A. M., on the 23d day of
July next, to nominate a candidate for State
Treasurer, and transact such ether business
as may be brought before them.
N. S. QUAY,
Chairman State Committee.
PHILADZLPAIA, June 9, 1879.
COL. QUAY has issued a call for the
assembling of the Republican State Con
vention, at .11 arrisburg, on the 23d of July,
one week after the meeting of the Demo-
cratic convention.
"BASTARD DEMOCRATS" is what the
Okolona States, the leading Democratic
paper in Mississippi, calls those Demo.
crate who fail to stand up to the caucus
programme of the Southern brigadiers.
CAPT. WM. B. HA RT i s
favorably men
tioned in conneetion with the nomination
for State Treasurer. He would make a
strong candidate, and it is more than
probable that he will be selected to carry
the Republican standard in next fall's
campaign.
THE President I;as seal the case of Fitz
John Porter, declared innocent by the re
cent court martial, on the testimony of
rebels, to Congress for their disposal
Everybody knows Porter to be guilty, but
the rebel Brigadiers will reinstate him in
payment fur the service he rendered them
when wearing the uniform of a Union
General.
PREVIOITS to the adjustment of the
Legislature Gev. Hoyt vetoed the Mexican
Veteran Pension bill. The principal rea
son for the veto was that the bill allowed
millionaires and paupers the same pension,
and that it discriminated against Pennsyl
vania Mexican soldiers in other States in
allowing pensions to Mexican soldiers of
other States residing in this. State. Another
reason for the Governor's action is the de
pleted condition of the Treasury. The
veto was sustained--yeas, 16; nays, 15.
SPATTEmnismt, the Lebanon county
murderer, who was to have been hanged
on Friday last, has been reprieved fur
thirty days in order that his counsel may
get his case before the Board of Pardons.
The telegram announcing the reprieve
reached the sheriff while that official was
busily engaged in making preparations for
the execution. Unless his case is favorably
considered by the Board he will pay the
penalty of his crime on the sth day of
July.
Ex-Gov. ANDREW G. CURTIN, Presi
dent of the Pennsylvania Reserve Associa
tion, has officially notified Major Chill W.
Hazzard, Corresponding Secretary, that
the Board of Control has determined to
hold the usual annual re-union this autumn
at a time and place hereafter to be an -
pounced. He desires the Secretary to
give the matter publicity, thus early, in
order that the veterans of the Old Guard
may anticipate a re-assembling of the
Association—an occasion which in other
years proved a source of so much pleasure.
THAT sterling Republican paper, the
Harrisburg Telegraph, came to us several
days last week enlarged to mammoth pro
portions, with its typography as bright and
clean as a gold dollar fresh from the hands
of the coiner. The Telegraph is one of
the best dailies in the State, and as an ad
vocate of Republicanism, pure and un
adulterated, it has no superior between
the oceans. We are pleased to mark this
evidence of prosperity on the part of our
old familiar friend. The paper has done
yeoman service for the cause of Repub
licanism, and we advise all our readers,
after having first paid for the JOURNAL, to
subscribe for the Telegraph.
Tax fiend, Edward Parr, who brutally
murdered his daughter, Mrs. Susan Irwin,
about a month or six weeks ago, in Phil
adelphia, was convicted of murder in the
first degree in the courts of that city on
Saturday last. After the jury rendered
the verdict the brute, with a smile upon
his countenance, remarked to his counsel
that he was entirely satisfied with the re
sult. He was called up for sentence on
Monday, and just as the Judge bad fin
ished sentencing him, he fell to the floor
in an insensible condition, with froth foam
ing from his mouth. Upon examination
it was found that he had swallowed poison.
Physicians were summoned, who attempted
to save his life, but their efforts were in vain,
and he died at 3 o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing, thus cheating the gallows out of one
of the moat brutal criminals of the nine
teenth century. His two sons and awo
man named Mary Ann Porter have been
arrested to answer the charge of having
furnished him the strychnine.
THE Chambersburg Public Opinion, of
Saturday last, contained likenesses of Hez
ekiah Shaffer, who was executed in that
place on the 17th of April last for the
murder ofbis wife, and "Peachy" Swingler,
(colored,) who was hanged on Friday last
for the murder of John Anderson, at a
colored ball on the 17th of December last.
The condemned man acted as though he
was going on a picnic excursion instead of
making a leap into eternity. Upon reach
ing the scaffold iSwingler himself placed
the rope around his neck. The Sheriff
had him remove it to allow him to make
any remarks he wished. He then said
whisky and bad company brought him
there, and advised all to abstain from them.
Re thanked the Sheriff and attendants
for their kindness, and said he was ready,
and again placed the rope around his neck,
which the Sheriff again had removed.
After prayer the cap was placed over his
head, the rope adjusted, the trap sprung
at 11:05, and at 11:15 he was pronounced
dead.
THE commissioners of Franklin county,
it seems, have been charging and receiving
pay for mileage, hotel bills and livery hire,
but the present Auditors have refused to
pass an account of over six hundred dol.
Lars expended by the present commissioners
in this way, and these gentlemen will have
to refund this sum,
Editor.
BEruttE the adjournment the House
elected Messrs. Ww. Hill, Gatehell, James
Neil, Gentner, S. J. Smith, and Bradford,
a committee to receive and open the re
turns or the next State election, and the
Senate elected Messrs. Gazzim. Royer,
Clark, and Craig.
SENATOR BRUCE, of Mississippi, the
only colored member of that body, is said
to be the handsomest man from the South
in the Senate.
THE STATE COLLEGE.
According to the report of the com-,
mittee appointed by the Legislature to in
vestigate the management of the State Ag
ricultural College, it is clearly evident that
this institution falls far short of accom
plishing the objects it was intended it
should accomplish when such large sums
of money were spent in its establishment.
Under its present management it is worse
than useless, and seems to be run with a
view to making money for the private
purses of those having it in charge. But
the report of the committee will tell the
tale of its workings better than we can do
it, and we therefore publish it :
In submitting the evidence the committee beg
leave to report, as the result of the investigation
into the affairs of the Pennsylvania State College,
that while the evidence does not show the actual
fraud or disclose corrupt management of the funds
received by said institution, yet your committee
are of the opinion that the testimony does con
nectedly indicate that the institution has been
very badly managed ; that its location is a very
undesirable one; that the building is entirely un
suited for the purpose for which it was erected;
that the agricultural department, which was in
tended to be the leading object of the institution,
has never been a success, and that the State has
never received and is not now receiving benefits
at all commensurate with the amount of money
which has been appropriated to said institution
by the United States and this State.
We also find that the Congress of the United
States granted to this State 780,000 acres of land,
which, by bad management, netted the State only
$439,000; that the act of Congress granting this
vast amount of land required that the prooeeds
thereof should be used by the State mainly in the
interest of agriculture and the mechanical arts ;
that the interest accruing from this fund, in ad
dition to some $400,000 appropriated by the State
Legislature, is used and controlled by the trustees
of said agricultural college; that in addition
thereto the trustees aforesaid sold the bond of the
State, bearing six per cent. interest, dated Feb
ruary 2, 1872, calling for $500,000 and falling due
fifty years from date, from which the said trustees
derive a revenue of $30,000 annually. Your com
mittee find the evidence discloses the further tact
that the deeds fur all the freehold belonging to
said Pennsylvania State College, including the
experimental farms, are held by the aforesaid
trustees, not in trust for the Commonwealth, but
for the aforesaid trustees and their successors.
Your committee also find that the experimental
farms owned by said trustees, which were to be
conducted solely in the interest of the agricultural
classes of the Commonwealth, have utterly failed
to accomplish the object intended. This is nut
only the case of the Western farm, located in In
diana county, which is not now a third-class farm
nor in as good condition as when purchased.
Your committee ale) find that at the present ses
sion of the college but forty six students in at
tendance, many of whom were non-residents •f
the State, and there is now in the employ of the
college eleven professors, which we deem out of all
proportion with the number of students in at
tendance. Finally, your committee is of the
opinion that the trustees have signally failed to
carry out the object for which the magnificent
land grant was given by the United States, and
which was further sought to be accomplished by
most liberal appropriations on the part of the
State. A. I. ACKERLY, Chairman,

I—We have the largest establishment for the manufacture and sale of Clothing in Philadelphia, ex
tending through from 518 and 520 Market street to 511 and 513 Minor street, and occupied.
2—Our buildings having been constructed and arranged for the business to which they are entirely
devoted, unites all the conveniences and appliances which have been found necessary or desirable ,
3—We have an ample cash capital, enabling us to make all purchases Jro cash, and giving us a se
lection, at the most favorable prices, from the markets of the entire world. Ix THIS PARTICULAR
WE HAVE ADVA"TAGES SHARED BY BUT FEW OTHER HOUSES IS THE TRADE. This fact is well
known to the public
4—We sell goods tor cash only, which, though it restricts our business to those prepared to purchase
in that way, enabies us to give them advantages such as no house doing a different business can.
5—A business experience of over a quarter of a century has informed us fully of the wants of the pub
lic, and of the best way to meet them. We have introduced such improvements as have from time
to time been found necessary, nearly all of which were originated by our predecessors in business
(Messrs. Bennett 6c Co.) and many of them adopteu by other houses in our business, do that long
published accounts of "Systems of Doing Business" need not convey to the public an ides of any
thing new or peculiar, as the whole of such accounts are an almost verbatim description of meth
ods which were mostly originated in this establishment, and have been in use in It for years.
6—We employ the best and most experienced cutters and workmen in making up our goods—the
style, fit, and make of which are unsurpassed.
7—All persons, whatever may be their physical peculiarities (unless deformed,) can be accurately
fitted at once from our stock, in most cases better than by goods made to order, and at prices 25
to 50 per cent. lower.
B—Our business is large and constantly increasing, enabling us to keep the largest, best assorted, and
most complete stock of Men's, Youths', Boys', and Children's Clothing in Philadelphia, to which
large daily additions are made of fresh goods, replacing those sold.
9—For reasons already enumerated, we can and do sell at prices guaranteed in all cases lower than the
lowest elsewhere, or the sale canceled and money refunded.
10—All goods when offered for sale are represented to be exactly what they are.
11—When buyers are for any reason dissatisfied with a purchase made, if reported within a reasona
ble time, we pledge ourselves, by exchange, refunding of money, or otherwise, to give full satis
faction in every case, and request that all such may be reported to us for adjustment.
12—All prices marked plainly on each garment.
13—To those unable to come to Philadelphia, we will send samples for any kind of garment with
prices and plain instructions for self-measurement.
