The Committee as constituted, being politlcally
as equally based on the number of election dis
tricts and their Republican vote, as the same can
be arranged, without in any degree effecting
them, the earnest and immediate attention of the
members thereof is called to the formation of the
Sub-Committees by them, of working Republicans,
in their respective districts, as heretofore an
nounced, and that at an early date they will for
ward the same to the Chairman, so as to complete
our organization, as intended and desired, and
thus aid in securing the full vote of the Republi
cans in the county. for their candidates at the
coming election.

GENERAL GRANT'S CANDIDACY
The Philadelphia Err/tin!' ilftlletZit has
a very interesting article on the position
of General Grant, and the true inward
ness of his late utterances. It winds up
with the following concise statement of
his position and corresponds with what
we have already said on that subject :
Editor.
The relation of General Grant to the
next Presidency is a very simple one. lie
does not want it. He would honestly
prefer private life to any office in the gift
of the people. If lie is to be President
again, it will be the outcome of no plan or
plot of his, but of a condition of national
affairs and national feeling that call for
him. lie cannot be nominated on any
"slate." If he is nominated at all, it will
be because of a popular pressure behind
the Convention that will compel it. And
if there is such a popular pressure when
the time of nomination comes, his election
will be a foregone certainty. There is
but one man in American public life to
whom the next Presidency does not pre
sent itself as an estimable prize, and that
is the man upon whom the American peo
ple arc, to-day, the most likely to confer it,
Ulysses S. (.; ran t .
IN the Dauphin county courts last week,
the bribery c.tses were sent to the grand
jury and that Jody found true bitio of
indictment against, Salter, K entble and
Crawford. in the case. of Representatives
Smith, Petroff, and Clarke, of Philadelphia,
and Runtberger, of Armstrong, whose
names did not appear in the list in charge
of the committee selected to prosecute,
the grand jury ordered the district attorney
to prepare bills of indictment against these
four gentleman. The bills against Kem
ble and Salter for conspiracy were ignored,
but true bills were found against them for
corrupt solicitation and perjury. Judge
Black and Senator Matt. Carpenter ap
peared as counsel for the prosecution.
The cases have been all postponed until
November, when they will go to trial,
Judge Pearson giving notice that at that
time they will take precedence over all
other cases. The defendants were each
held in $2,000 bail for their appearance
at that time. The best legal talent in the
country has been secured on both sides.
WITH their usual pertinacity when en
gaged in deliberate falsification, the Dem
ocratic organs aro insisting that the Re
publican convention which nominated
Samuel Butler for State Treasurer, reject
ed a resolution favoring honesty and puri
ty in legislation. The Republican con
vention did no such thing, It rejected no
such resolution. On the contrary, the
convention favored all resolutions pledging
the party to a continuance of its purity in
legislation and honesty in administration,
and heartily approved the sentiments of
those who advocated such resolutions.
There never has been a party in this coun
try so ready to denounce and punish wrong
as has the Republican. It owes its origin
to a necessity to curb and correct wrong,
and grew in strength and glory while thus
engaged. In this matter of the wrongs of
legislation. no party has ever been more
zealous to prevent such evils than the Re
imblican.—llarrisbarg Telegraph.
AFTER the grand jury had found true
bills against Salter, et al , who are charged
with attempted bribery in their efforts to
secure the passage of the Pittsburgh riot
bill through the Legislature, that body
created a sensation, late on Saturday after
noon, by the presentiment of C. S. Wolf,
of Union county, and M. 11. Silverthorne
and A. M. Short, of Erie county, mem.
hers of the House of ll,?presentativcs,
"for conspiracy to advise and promote cor
rupt solicitation of members of the Legis.
lature."lt will be remembered that Wolf
and Silverthorne were playing the role of
detectives, and for this purpose Silver
thorne was delegated by Wolf to go out
among his fellow members and offer them
bribes to support the riot bill, and report
progress to his chief. Such conduct is
questionable to say the least, and may re
sult disastrously to those engagad in it.
The end of the bribery case is not yet.
11. FRYSINGER, ESQ., who for twenty
five years has owned and published the
Lewistown Trite Democrat, last week
severed his connection with that paper,
having sold the establishment to Mr. D.
L. Sollenberger. of Sunbury, who will
hereafter conduct it. Mr. Frysinger has
purchased the Delaware County Democrat,
the only Democratic paper in a county of
50,000 inhabitants, and will at once as.
sume control of it. During the quarter of
a century that he conducted the Democrat
we have read it weekly, and we looked for
its visits as we would look for the visit of
an old friend. We are sorry to lose
Brother Frysinger from the Juniata Val
ley region, but we are pleased to know
that our loss will be his financial gain.
We welcome Mr. Sollenberger to the
Juniata Valley, and wish that good fortune
may come to him.
INSTEAD of a bloody shirt, the Southern
Democracy now raise and wave bloody
hands imbrued in the crimsoned life cur.
rents of citizens who dared to stand up
for their personal rights. It must be de
cided tiler'', now and forever, whether the
assertion of political rights on the part of
an American citizen, anywhere in the
Union, is to peril his life. This does not
merely concern the people of Yazoo, Miss
issippi,but those of every State in the Union.
If the Democracy of the South can, with
haughty impunity, drive men out of a po
litical canvass, and into their graves, then
they can and will do it in Pennsylvania;
and no party which does this in one State
is fit to be trusted with power in . another.

THE Harrisburg Telegraph asks: Could
anything be more Fuggestive of the re
sources of a young country like ours—
young, we mean, in the development of its
natural resources—thin the fact that while
we are supplying the breadstuffs deficiency
of all Europe, we are also called upon to
furnish Some of• the most powerful of its
governments with materials of war, nav4l
stores, ships, &e. And this is on'y a be
ginning of what we intend to do in this
line.
IN last week's isue of the JOURNAL
we stated that E. M. Schrock, member of
the House from Somerset county, bad been
arrested for bribery in securing his nomi
nation and election. Since then a true
bill has been found against the honorable
gentleman, and he will be compelled to
"face'the music." One witness testified.
"Schrock gave me two dollars and a half,
and said, 'work for me like blazes.' "
THE large sheet-iron and tin plate works
of T. W. Booker & Co , near Cardiff,
England, have been closed for debt, and
4,509 workmen thrown out of employment.
Three villages had grown up around these
works, the inhabitants consisting solely of
working people and their families, and
theFe, numbering six thousand souk, are
in destitute circumstances in consequence
of the closing of this large inditsiry .
TIIE New Orleans Times. in comment
ing on the murder of Capt. Dixon, in Ya
zoo, says that "the only terror that awaited
the slayers of Dixon—for this was the
deed of hundreds, not of one—were the de
spairing moan of his widowed wife and the
desolate wail of his orphaned little ones.
He was but a Folitary, hunted creature
after all."
THE North American declares that
"Senator Wallace can now do a good
stroke for civil service reform and an
honest ballot by retarning to Pennsylva
nia and settling up that old coffee-pot.
He cm demonstrate the fact that in the
hands of men entirely great the coffee pot
is mightier than the shot gun. Rio and
Laguayra are cheaper than powder and
lead."
THE exodus of colored people from the
Southern States still gees on, but it is not
safe for any one to encourage the poor,
down-trodden blacks in their flight. Wm.
Jones, a colored Baptist preacher, at
tempted it the other day in Missouri, and
the result was that bis house was surround
ed by a mob and he was' dragged out and
hung.
GEO. W. MILLER, the generalissimo of
the Democratic party in this State, is out
in a two column pronunciamento to the
faithful, urging them to rally to the sup
port of Daniel O'Barr. It is labor lost,
for the people propose to elevate honest
Samuel Butler to the position of guardian
of the money bags of the State.
THAT wide-awake and progressive Re.
publican paper, the Harrisburg daily Tele

is carefully edited and is doing yeoman
service for the advancement of Republican
principles.
TILDEN'S chances for the Democratic
nomination for President are waning. It
now looks as if Yellow Fever Blackburn,
of Kentucky, and shoot him•in-the-back,
Barksdale, of Mississippi, were the coming
men. The South has only to ask their
nomination and it will be given them.

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 29, 1879,
The telegraph has informed the country
of the reversal of the sentence of a court
martial on which sixteen years ago Sur
geon General William A. Hammond was
-
cashiered, and the universal feeling is that
this long delayed act is well Sone. The
question arises, however, why Gen, Town
send should be put on the retired list with
out pew. • If the sentence against him was
unjust, and his dismissal from the service
a grievous wrong, it is difficult now that
the sentence is reversed and lie is put on
the retired list, to see the justice of ma
king such a distinction between him and
other retired officers as to make him the
only one retired without pay.
In this ease, and in Gen. Porter's, it is
the opinion of u , t people here that the
reversil of the se itenec is proper. N,m,
these are the only two CAS's in which C

Officers, or other persons, here, charged
with the duty of inquiring into any court
martial sentence that the convicted man
may declare 'unjust and against the facts?
It would cost the Governtrent very little.
It would secure justice to hundreds of in

A Murderer Confesses !
1. E.l DING, Sept.. 1, 1879
Charles Drews, under sen tence' of death
one of the principals in the Thiber tour
der, has made a confession. He says : I
went to Brandt last sunituor and we sat on
the porch. Ile treated me to beer, and
both felt its effects. He said we could
make money, and to'd me how. I said I
would consider it. Finally I ask if he was
alone. He replied there were three others
with him. Ile mentioned Hummel and
Wise, and I slid I did not know them.
He then offered to bring them up. I saw
them and he said I certainly knew Wise.
From boyhood up I knew him. I then
agreed and they insured Riber. I said it
was a hard thing to kill ltaber. He said
they could make money. When they
again met, Brandt said there were five
interested. Ilutntnel als spoke about it.
Wise came and asked whoth.m. I was.to
kill Raber. I told him I w.is•not certain.
lie urged me to go a1t , 3:01, and said they
would shoot me if I didn't
I promised, but never intend,al to do
it. They afterward of en u-ge.d me to do
it, as the insurance had all been effected
Brandt afterward said tfiey had the plan
ready, and if I did not kid him they would
shoot me, and to save my life I promised.
A week or two afterward 'Wise said I
should not do it so far as he was concerned,
as, he said, he did not like the job. Think
it was the same day he said I had to kill
Raber. I then asked Flank Strichler to
do it, because 1 could not. Strichler said
he did not care, he could kill any one,
but bargained I should go along, which I
promised, but declared I would not totch
Raber. Then Raber came to my house
and we went off together with Strichler
following. I went over a plank, any
Raber got onto it.
Strichler got Raber by the legs, threw
him in, and jumped on top of him. Ratter
fell below the plank. I then went back
to the fence, It was at first intended to
drown Raber in tit: dam. Bran& had
planned that Raber was to go fi,hing at
Kitztuiller's t catch Co- Britoil; and
wife, and then Iw:s to dr.,wti him We
went, and Peters we at with us. When I
saw the dam I could tdo it, and said
we would return, when Itab,:r r• plied :
Yes, it was too cold anyhow. I pitied
him. Drowning at the plank afterward
was also a plan of Brandt's. Brandt had
promised me $3OO, and theothers should
get the same. lie promised Strichler
nothing. I had tried to coax Elijah
Strichler, but he would not go with me.
I said to Frank I would give him $3OO
after I was paid.
[Since the above was put in type anoth
er of the murderers, young Stickler, the
man who did the drowning for pay, has
made a confession of his guilt. This makes
the third one that has conf.!ssed to guilty
participation in that crime, and by the
time the day of execution arrives. Nov.
14th, we would not be surprised if each
and every one of them would ado:it their
guilt.

a new one, only having been run four years. It
is 28x35 feet with two run of burs, and an addi

in the county. There are also two good houses
on the property, one of which is finished in good
