Co. Com. DURING the month of December the Treasury Department paid $1,727.520 en account of arrears of pensions. Tn E Ne A York Tribune says that "Gar celon is the ablest living personification or the renowned Democratic donkey." THE next stealing to be done by the Democrats is the seat of Congressman Seth Y. Yocum, of the Centre district. They want it for the apostate Curtin. GARCELON, after having proven him self the mast accomplished thief of the nineteenth century, steps down and out amid the hisses of the whole country. Fitom the Sixth Missouri Congressional district, made vacant by the death of ion. A. M. Lay, Col. John F. Phillips, Demo crat, has been elected to fill the vacancy. THE "Penobscot Pirate," Garcelon, has gone to his home, at Lewiston, dug a small hole, crawled into it, and pulled the hole in after him. Vale humbug and thief Fr is now estimated that the Weaver bill to equalize the greenback pay of the soldiers with gold values, noticed by us last week, would take a billion dollars out of the Treasury. RXPUBLICANS everywhere are opposed to the holding of the State Convention at so early a day; particularly is this so in the case of Blaine Republicans, and they outnumber Grant Republicans five to one. TIIE popular American Agriculturist, and the JOURNAL, "the handsomest and best paper in the county," one year for only $3.00. The money, in every case, to accompany the order. This is a rare . chance. t f. TnE young man Kellar, a clerk in the Harrisburg postoffice, whose arrest we mentioned in last week's issue, was given a hearing and held to bail in the sum of $BOO to answer the charge of stealing money from letters passing through that office. TUN Greenbackers met in Washington last week, and before the close of their pow-wow the blackguard Kearney made one of his characteristic speeches, declared himself a Greenbacker, and nominated Ilenkrick B. Wright, of Luzerne county, as his choice for the Presidency. THE fellows who stole the Maine Leg islature have an elephant on their hands They are:now without a quorum, and are unable to steal a Governor or do any busi ness whatever. The State Treasurer has locked his vaults and refuses to pay out any money. They are in a bad box. Gov. HOYT, on Saturday last, commis sioned Col. Stanley Woodward, a rampant Democrat, as Judge of the Luzerne dis trict. Thislappointment was made against the wishes and earnest protestations of the Republicans of Luzerne, and has cre ated much dissatisfaction in the party. THE Indianapolis Journal has gone to the trouble to interview Republicans on the subject of their choice fur President, and it has, thus far, given the preferences or 1,739 persons. Of these 528 favor Blaine, 514 Sherman, and 450 Grant, leaving 254 to be counted among the scat- tering. THE figures presented by a correEpan dent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean shows that 15,000 freedmen have settled in Kan sas since the negro exodus began. He re ports that of this number about one-fifth have been able to buy a little land, and are rapidly establishing themselves. The others have found employment as farm laboeers, with the exception of about seven hundred, for whom no places have yet been found. THY. grand jury, in Philadelphia, on Tuesday of this week, found a true bill against Billy M'Mullep charging him with riot, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, and assault and battery upon Michael C• Lyons with intent to kill. Thig . fracas oe cured at the time of the meeting of the Democratic city convention, and the 'Squire undertook to run it to suit himself, and in doing so he found it necessary to use his little pistol. If he is convicted and sent to the penitentiary for the balance of his natural life Philadelphia will be rid of one of her most accomplished blackguards and roughs. SUPERINTENDENT WICKERSHAM is now preparing and will next week issue war rants to school districts in the State cov ering the year ended June, 1789, for one million dollars, the amount due them from the State for that period. According to the Superintendent's estimate the Com tnonwealth owes the schools about 82,- 500,000. State Treasurer Noyes says the Treabury will be in condition to cash about half the amount of the warrants the pres ent month, and the remainder will be hon• ored by tbe first of June next. Auditor- General Schell will state in his annual re port, which will be out in a week, that by a rigid collection of taxes under the rev enue law, the Deficiency in the Treasury, amounting to over one milliou seven hun dred thousand dollars, will be made up in two years. BLAINE AND VICTORY ! A Word to So-Called Leaders Editor. There are some practicil gaestious en tering.into the coming political campaign in regard to whiLdi it would l, e we ll for the leaders or the Republican party to p. , wier over and sebwit to the "6. , ber sec thon:.lit'' of th. it eonstituonci, s. Til(• Indecent haste with which the ctooi-g tc C titi-n II .s , t•ti pi C 6 p• :voild indicate a dtsp e4tiou on the part of these who have manufactured what is pop ularly known as the "Grant bacan," to rush it through, irrespective of the wishes of the people at large, the availability of the candidate, or the record of the party on the subject of a third term—a course which, it persisted in, might be productive of discoid and dissensihn in the ranks of the party, and in the end, of disaster and defeat. We have gone to soma trouble to ascer tain the sentiment of the Republicans of this county on the Presidential question, :ind at least eiAbt out of every ten are in favor of James G Blaine as the standard bearer in the campaign of 1880, and op posed to a third term. We are speakiag now for our own county, and with the as surance that our infrtuation, based as it is on personal observation and inquiry, is not far from correct. The Maine states man was tha choice of the party. in this county at the last convention, and the nomination of Hayes was as bitter a pill as they have perhaps ever been called on to swallow. So much for Huntingdon coun ty. Now how is it in the State ? As a citizen, a soldier and a statesman we have, as ever, the highest regard fur Gen. Grant. We honor him for his mill Lary prowess in s.aving the Republic, for bis diplomacy and his statemanship, and if the hero of Appomattox could be nomi nated and elected as the rebel breast works were taken under his leadership, with a yell, we would say amen to his nomination; but does the political horoscope just now foreshadow such a result? It must be re membered that the rank and file of Penn• sylvania Republicans have never taken very heavy stock in the "Grant boom " The recent expression of the Union League and the unmistakable demonstration of the German element in Philadelphia, are significant It will be remembered that in 1872, when Grant swept the country against Greely, lie still polled several thousand less votes in this State than Gov ernor Ilartranff. And above and beyond this, the emphatic and enthusiastic en oorsen.cnt in 1875, of the resolution de claring against a third term has made fur the party a record on that subject which would be very hard to get away from. We cannot afford to make Pennsylvania a doubtful state. With Blaine it cannot be doubtful; with Grant or some other can didate it might. It will not do to depend too strongly on the sweeping majority of last year, as there are many influences to create dissatisfaction in the ranks of the party which might operate to such an ex tent as to cause the State to swing from her moorings as has been the case on fcr mer occasions, notably for instance, in 1874. We must carry New York, and the importance even of carrying Maine will be apparent to any one who will care fully scan the Electoral College. With no other candidate are we reasonably cer tain of either. The German vote is an important factor in some of the Western States, and the Germans are unanimously opposed to a third term. We cannot af ford to lose the German vote in either Ohio, Illinois or Wisconsin without seri ously imperilling the chances of carrying these States, and with Blaine neither of them would be in the least doubtful. But, it is urged, by some, that Grant if nomi nated would carry one or two of the Southern States. That ha would undoubt ly receive the solid vote of the colored people there we have not the least doubt, but under the reign of terror there, - the shot gun policy, the bowie knife, the re volver and the bludgeon, how many of them would be permitted to vote, especially where it would be necessary to the sue cess of the Democratic ticket that they should be kept away from the polls. These are a few of the suggestions and facts gathered from our observation of the political situation, and which we present. to our readers as reasons why, on the ground of availability, we should prefer Senator Blaine as our first choice. Give us Blaine as the nominee of the Chicago Convention, and the Republican party will sweep the course from Maine to Califor• nia, carrying not only the States essential to an election, but every doubtful Northern State. Let us have Blaine, is the sentiment of Huntingdon county, and any manipula• tion of the machine managers to "set up" the delegates for any other candidate in the State and National Conventions will be a misrepresentation of' the sentiment of the people. AN EXCHANGE directs attention to the fact that very few of the returns in the State of New York were made up in the manner in which the constitution com manded, and had the law in that State been as strict as in Maine in regard to technicalities, and had the Supreme Court of New York decided, as in Blaine's State, that any falure to comply with these for malities in making the returns nullified them, the result would have been serious Out of the. twenty-four Assembly districts in the city of New York, only five com plied with the letter of the law in all res• pacts, and even in these it is probable that a closer inspection would have enabled the authorities to discover some defects THE District Attorney of Dauphin county is determined that the Legislative bribery cases shall be brought to a speedy trial. He intends to send new bills of indictment to the Grand Jury on the 19th inst., and if true bills are found press the cases to trial during the January term of court. BEAVER county, on Saturday last, through the county committee, elected delegates to the Republican State Con vention. They go uninstructed, but are understood to be for Judge Green for Su preme Judge and Col. Lemon for Auditor General. grant is probably their first choice for President and Blaine second.

On Monday night the Republican mem bers of the &nate and house of Refire sen!atiwc; of Maine, who were properly elected at tile late election, but who were defrauded out of their seats by the action of the "Penobscot Pirate," Gareelon, and his Co ateil, took quiet and peaceable pos.session of the Capitol and proceeded to organize both branches of the legiskture.

THE Philadelphia Times, of Monday, publishes reports from sixty six Republi can newspapers, in all parts of Pennsyl vania, in regard to their Presidential prer erence.s, and the result shows that twenty six of them are for Blaine, twenty two for Grant, three fur Sherman, fire Ibr "the field," seven for whoever may be nomina ted at Chicago, and three for "the b st man." The editor of the Vines puts dawn Franklin county for Grant while the editor of the Repository writes as follows: "I think it probable, from what I ern aster tarn in my intercourse with the pee. pie, that the majority of the Republicans of this county pre ;er Blaine." If the voters of the party in this State had the oppor tunity to express their preferences for the Presidency we believe that at least tw.' thirds of them would favor the nomina tion of lion. James G Blaine, and this being so trio delegates to the Chicag.) Cim vention should be instructed to support him. Politicians, who undertake to "run'' the prty regardless of the wishes of the masses, should be very careful bow they act; the rank and file of the party have some rights which the so called leaders should respect.

Frank Leslie, the well known publisher, died in New York on Saturday evening. Crape is upon the door of 511 Fifth avenue, the residence he had occupied since Tweed left it. He had been suffer ing from fibrous cancer of the throat. He transacted some business on Thursday, but grew weaker on Friday and on Saturday morning began to sink into an unconscious state, in which he continued until his peaceful death at six o'clock. Frank Leslie's name has long been associated with pictorial papers and magazines. Henry Carter was the name given him at his birth in Ipswich, England, in 18t1. His father was a glove manufacturer, but young Henry did not take kindly to that business. He became fascinated with the arts of drawing, designing and graving in a silversmith's shop near to his home. This led to private studies and furtive experiments in tha art of drawing and engraving upon metals and woods. Iu 1842 he connected himself with the en graving department of the London Plus trated News and there signed all his work "Flank Leslie" Afterwards this name was legalized, and as Frank Leslie he has long been known to the world. He ar rived in Boston in 1848 and found work under Gleason and Ballot). He wanted, however, to get to New York, and ascer. taming in 1852 that Barnum intended starting an illustrated paper he talked it over with the &nous showman and became the managing foreman of the New York Illustrated 'Vies. It only lived a year, and for two or three years afterwards Mr. Leslie contributed his services to maga zines and -to book publishers and sent designs about American life to the London Illustrated News. Iu 1854 he began publishing on his own account, and the first periodical he issued was the Gazette of Fashion, now known as Frank Leslie's Lady's Magazine. Shortly afterwards he published the New York .Journal, which be purchased when its circulation was at its lowest ebb, arid which he speedily raised in circulation to the point of profit. On December 14, 1855, he began Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, now in its twenty-fifth year. In rapid succession Mr. Leslie published the Chimney Corner, Boys and Girls Weekly, Plea'ant Hours, the Lady's Journal, Frank Leslie's Popu lar Monthly, the Sunday Magazine, the Budget of ll7t and Chatterbox, and the Ilustrirte Zeitunq in German. Mr. Leslie failed in 1557 and again in 1877. This latter failure was a personal one, and it is said that his publications have been entirely extricated. He was married twice—once in England and iu this c..untry to the widow of the late E. G. Spier. the author and traveler, who was at one thne United States Charge in Honduras. Mrs. Leslie has for a long time past edited three of her husband's periodicals. Two sons by the first marriage survive—Henry, or Frank Leslie, Jr., and Alfred—mid a third son (Scipio) died last year. Mr. Leslie was a member of the SlanhattAn JoAcv and L)tos Clubs, and stoo i high a, a M ism]. New To-Day.
