The Huntingdon Journal. J. A. NASH, HUNTINGDON, PENN'A FRIDAY, - MAY 21, 1880 Ciroulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. Entered at the Poet Offiee,atHuntingdon, Pa., as Second Claaa Mail Matter, Republican State Ticket. FOR. JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT: Hon. HENRY GREEN, OF EASTON. FOR AUDITOR-OENERAL Hon. JOHN A. LEMON, OF BLAIR,. Republican National Convention, A National Convention of theßepublican party will meet at Chicago on Wednesday, the second day of Juno next, at 12 o'clock noon, for the nomination of candidates to be supported for President and Vice President at the next election. Republicans and all who will co-operate. with them in supporting the nominees of the party are invited to choose two delegates from each Con gressional district, four at large from each State, two from each territory, and two from the Dist ict of Columbia, to represent them in the Convention. J. D. CAMERON, Chairman. THOMAS J. KEOGH, Secretary. WILL the Vice Presidency have to go a begging ? Who wants it ? AT the time we go to press-10 A. 31.. Thursday—there is nothing definite from the Illinois convention. IF there were more McManes' in the Chicago delegation the wiEhes of the party would be more fairly represented. THE President has tendered the Post master-Generalship to Hon. Horace May nard, of Tennessee, and he has accepted. IF GRANT should happen to be notni nated at Chicago, we presume the "un written constitution" will be considered as amend( d HARRISBURG had a slight fire on Mon day, by which three buildings were slight ly damaged. A report was current in our town on Mduday night that the greater part of the capital city had been destroy ed, but the result of the fire is as above stated. TIIE last three of the Raber murderers, Wise, Hummel and Brandt, paid the pen. ally of their crime on the gallows, in Leb anon, on Thursday of last week. Wise made a confession, admitting his own guilt and also asserting the guilt of his accom plices. TWENTY Democratic Congressmen re fased to join the brigands who had every thing arranged for the stealing of Seth Y. Yocum's seat in order that they might pay Andy Curtin for his apostacy to the Re publican party. They deserve credit for their action. THE great boat race between Hanlan and Courtney, at Washington, on Wed nesday, for the Hop Bitter purse of $6,000, was won by Hanlan, without an effort. Courtney claimed indisposition, and after rowing 2 miles gave up the race and re turned to his quarters. THE Pittsburgh Sunday Critic has al lowed its great zeal for the nomination of "the old demander" to run away with its usually good sense It will not advance the cause of the "great gift taker" by unearth ing Democratic lies and hurling them at his competitors. Unless we mistake the signs of the times there is a "dish of crow" in store for the Critic REV. W. W. HICKS, of Florida, who is well and favorably known in this county, heads the Grant delegation to Chicago from that State. Mr. Hicks is a warm friend of the "silent man," but if his favor ite is defeated at Chicago his voice will be beard in advocacy of the election of the nominee of that convention, whoever he may be. All good Republicans should imitate his example. GRANT'S Southern speeches were too conservative for stalwart Republicans, and when he undertook to say, in effect, that there is no lawlessness and disloyalty, then his assertions are flatly contradicted by the almost daily occurrence of some act of lawlessness or some utterance of disloyalty. The leaders in the South are not the meek and harmless creatures that the ex Presi dent would have us believe them to be. Why does not some one name our Congressman Fisher for the Vice Presidency. Nobody se ms to be thinking of him for anything else.— Valley Spirit. We can't spare Congressman Fisher ; we want him to "lay out" his Democratic competitor for Congressional honors this fall. There is scarcely a prominent Dem ocrat in the district who is not "thinking of him" as the man who can carry this dis, trict over any candidate that party may pit 9 gainst him. THE management of the Harrisburg Patriot give notice that hereafter a Sun day edition of that paper will be issued, which shows a progressive spirit on their part. There is a marked improvement in evety department of the paper of late, and it now comes to us freighted with the latest and freshest news from all quarters of the globe. Barring its detestable poli tics we wish it increased success and pros perity. THE West Point investigation, concern ing the mutilation of the colored cadet Whittaker, a notice of which appeared in our columns at the time, has about closed, and it looks as if the verdict would fasten the guilt upon Whittaker himself. This result has been reached upon the testimony of five experts, who assert that the threat ening note sent Whittaker was written by himself, and that the slip of paper upon which it bad been written had been torn from the sheet of paper upon which he had begun a letter to his mother. Upon this testimony they say that he is guilty of tieing his hands and feet, hammering his head, tearing his clothing, slitting one of his ears and cutting a piece out of the other ! Such a verdict is worse than non sensical. These "experts" are terrible fel lows, and they generally arrive at queer conclusions. Four or five "experts," with only half a chance, can hang any man in the country for a murder never committed. Whenever a man on trial, for any crime, falls into the hands of "experts" his ore is cooked." WANTED-INDEPENDENT DELE- Editor, Just at this time we want them badly, and here and there they are coming , o the surface and asserting their indepen dence and manhood by pledgingthentselves to disregard the instructions of the State convention and vote as their constituents desire they should vote. The latest case of manly independence—and one that should be imitated by scores of delegates who have been instructed by the State convention contrary to the wishes of their constituents—is that John I. Gordon, esq., editor of the Mercer county Dispatch, and a delagate from his Congressional district to the Chicago convention, who has de clared in favor of Blaine. Mr. Gordon, in his paper, says that he finds the Republi cans of Mercer county, and of the entire Congressional district, to be almost unan imously in favor of Blaine, and he cannot see his way clear, as one of the representa tives of his party, to disregarded this sen timent. Mr. Gordon is not by any means solitary in this species of dilemma. As the Wilkesbarre Record of the Times says there are a score or ' two of Pennsylvania delegates in precisely his predicament. They cannot close. their eyes to the fact that the Republicans whom they are to represent at Chicago are in direct antago nism with the resolutions of instruction adopted by the State convention. Those delegates realize that they will have to come to a decision before many days. They must make choice between the will of their constituents and the instructions of the State convention. Men of rcsolu tion and determination, like Mr. McManes and Mr Elliott, of Philadelphia, Mr. Tay. lore of Bucks, Mr. Gatschall, of Delaware, and some others, have made their choice without constraint on the part of their constituents ; a number of other delegates have yielded to the pressure of the Rs publican masses of their districts, and given pledges to respect the will of the people Others of less force, or less inde pendence, are wavering, undecided what course to pursue. These arc, like Micawber, waiting and hoping "for something to turn up" to relieve them from their dilemma without requiring any decisive action from them. These gentlemen are proper sub jects for public sympathy. Some of them are in position where they fear the dan gers of offending the party in their imme diate districts by disregarding their well known sentiment with reference to the Presidency, but at the same time they also fear giving offence in another direction. ft seems to us that such delegates might with perfect safety accept the view* ex pressed by Governor Hoyt to a New York Tribune correspondent not long ago, name ly, that the instructions of the State con vention apply only to the delegates-at-large, and can have no constraining or binding force upon district delegates. As to the unit rule, that has been smashed into frag ments in every State already, and the only solid delegations at Chicago will be those composed of men who perfectly agree among themselves as to the manner of casting their votes. Independent men will be needed at Chicago—men of sufll cent independence to represent the will of their constituents. AsHINGros, May 19.—Representative Fisher has received advices from Frank lin,Fulton, Hun tingdon, Juniata, Perry and Snyder counties, which make up his Congressional district, (the Eighteenth,) and is assured by the Republicans of those counties that be will receive a renomina tion without opposition. In speaking of the po litical situation in his district he says that the Blaine enthusiasm is not quite as active as it was some weeks ago, as the people the e are taking politics more philosophically, and will not allow themselves to be led into hasty action by simple opular clamor. He does not think that they have any special preference, and that the itepub licans will heartily support whoever may bo nom inated by the Chicago convention. We clip the above dispatch from the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette of this morning, and if Mr. Fisher is reported cor rectly he does not understand the political sentiment of Huntingdon county on the Presidential question. Niue out of every ten Republicans in the county aro for Blaine, and his friends are more active to-day than at any time during the canvass. They feel that through the stubbornness of John W. Mattern, chairman of the County Com mittee, who flatly refused to call his coin mittee together to give them an oppor tunity to express their preferences of a candidate, they have been gagged and their wishes treated with contempt. This is no "simple popular clamor," but the "sober thought of the people," and they are fear• fully in earnest. The Republicans of this county have a preference, and they are n,,t pleased with the treatment they have re ceived. Whilst other counties in the dis trict have had opportunities afforded them of expressing their preference of Presi dential candidates, Huntingdon county Republicans have been scurvily treated. If our delegates to Chicago fail to suppoi t Blaine they will misrepresent the wishes of their con,tituents. A GOOD deal of speculation exists with respect of the compensation of parties taking the forthcoming census. The fol lowing extract from a circular sent out by the Census Department at Washington settles that question : Two and one-fourth cents per name, ex cept in cities and towns containing 2,000 inhabitants or more, according to the cen sus of 1870, when the rate will be two cents per name. For each death reported five cents. For establishments of productive indus try reported (manufacturers) as follows : For each establishment returned on the special schedules of manufactures, twenty five cents. These rates are, of course, subject to the provision of law, that no enumerator slutl receive in excess of $4 per day. THE General Conference of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, in session at Cin cinnati, has elected four new Bishops, all men well known throughout the length and breadth of the land, not only to the adherents of Methodism, but to all classes, as men of vast intellectual power. They are Rev. Dr. Cyrus D. Foss, Rev. Dr. John F. Hurst, Rev. Dr. Henry W. War ren, and Rev. Dr. E. O. haven. All but Dr. Warren are at present presidents of great educational institutions. An effort was made to increase the number of new Bishops to six, and include a colored man, but was not successful. "SLIPPERY SAM" has the Democtacy well in hand, and by the time the Cincin nati convention assembles be will be "cock of the walk," 4114 a position to demand the nomination. GATES.

ONLY ONE HOTEL AND TWO CHURCXES LEFT I Between the hours of 11 an 11 o'clock on Friday morniog a tire broke out in the beautiful little town of Milton, and before the tiamos ceased their wort of destruction, two-thirds of the town were in ashes. Tee conflagration started in the finishing room of the car works of Murray, Doucal A Co., in the northern end of the town. An alarm was at once sounded, but beture tho eng,inea could get on the ground the entire woke were in flames. The wind blew a gale in the direction of the town, and soon the fire woe beyond all control. Aid was telegraphed for and theliantotry Fire Department was soon on the ground. The wind veered in different directions and it woo imposs , ble to du any effectual work, and Broadway and Front streets, the business part of the town were . suun wrapped in flames, and the are swept from street to street until it reached the open country at the southern end of the town. In the meantime. the Williamsport, Danville, Watsontown and Lewis burg fire departments had arrived, but the wind continued so high that they couldrender but little service, and only a few houses here and there along the track of the fire could be saved. All tha business houses, with two exceptior,s, and th e depot were destroyed. About 600 families are homeless. Aid has been tendered by the eiti ns of Sunbury, Lewisbarg and W,tsorda.wo to the destitute people. Largo qua tit ti ivo of hca,c bold goods were loaded On ear.; and taken op atol down the road, and the tie.do arou:ld die town are filled with goods.,. . . During t ecc.niusion nrri.

The wire of Dr. Cyrus Brown is badly burned an:l several others are known to be seriously inju re d. Th e scene was one of great eL,niu,ion, ocindreils of people pouring into town [row every di-tetion. The fire was gotten un,ier control shout li o'elock. Among the residences destroyed were those of ex-Governor Pollock and the late William Camer on. brother of ex Senator Cameron. Both of the newspaper buildings. the .11;1 , oniati and Independent, weekly, succumbed almest in stantaneously The former, established in 1616, the leading paper of the county, lost all its archives, press and everything, even to the list of subscribers. Of the nine churches bet one was saved The steeples crushing down on the adjoin ing buildings lent fresh energy to the terrible ele ment. Mills, factories and workshops alike shared in the general fate. The Philadelphia nod Erie railroad depot disappeared, and with it the tele graph office. The wires twisted and cut, all means of appealing f r speteiy aid was gone. A fast train from 'Williamsport awl tee wagon express came rushing in at 2 it'clnek e. Nr, and were obliged _to wait until after 3 o'clock be'orn the fires then spreading towards the west, allowed them to pass on to their destination.

THE nomELl:t.s VC T. The picture to-day of those driven from their homes by the fire is most terrible and excites the warmest sywpaaby Many of the people sat on the shore of the river and on the islands a quarter of a mile opposite, bemoaning bitterly their fate and keeping guard over the few articles of furni ture they had been able to save from their burned homes. •The fields and meadews round, every bit of open space is tilled, and it looks much like an emigrant train arriving in the West, weary, tired and wondering what next wss to be done. Not only on the outskirts, but to all the ncishboring towns and farmhouses within a radius of ten miles the unhappy, houseless f.imilies are being removed. clefs of bravery and scenes of distress present themselves in close companionship. A lady who was unable to persuade a gentleman to help extinguish afire on the roof of Isar dwelling climbed the trees in front of it and toads the attempt herself, but without avail, fur in less than two minutes after her heroic attempt she was driven from her home. Many of those shelterless were unable to move anything, and escaped only with the clothing they had on. Where they will get aid God only knows. The misery of those who are thrown out to-night—the tears anti sighs,- the moans and groans that are hea.rti are Invalid description. Tae latest estimate places the Las at $1,800,000, and the insurance SSOO,OOO. A dispatch from Sunbury, dated on Saturday, the day after the fire. says: The scene at Milton this m going begesirs de scription.
