He ■*r President, 1b a statesman of first-class rank ami ability.” *• It must be said to bla credit, as well as that of the Convention, that ho Is a man of eminent ability, largely informed upon the public affairs of this country, experienced In official allalrs, and of Irreproachable Integrity and morality in bis private life.” It is such testimony that honest, and intelligent men, no matter what their political predilections may be, must give, when they regard their honor or truth. The same cannot he said of tho candidate of the mongrels. The heaviest thunder-storm, it is said, passed over Savannah recently.— There is a thunder-storm brewing in the political sky that will be the big gest ever witnessed in this country. Wherever its bolts fall there will be a scatteration of the “ Rads,” and it will require extra help to carry off the dead and wounded. tTILIi GRANT BACK OUTt Thb proiK\«titod. Is sbrlously entertained ft* inong the Republican Notional Committee to have their Convention ro-asseinble, receive Grant’s resignation, which he suuids ready to . give In. and nominate a new candidate for the Presidency. The reason civen Is, that Grant has j already shown his entire unavailability, ana » possesses no points on which the party can rally ' even In a respectable minority in this canviisv The Convention, bo »t lemeinbenx!. did not ad* . Jonrn without day. but atljonrr.evl subject to tae call of thgNational O.'iituuuov.—A. 1 ••.t-ui. That Gran: is willing and anxious to stvt out of the way and t ivrmit some more available man to Go selected by the Radical conspirators -VS their candi [ date for the Presidency, is a well ascer \ rained fact. Grant has the name of the man to take his place on the ticket. He thinks " Gen. Sher man i-'iC,"!' he elected.’ That the Radicals aro. sorely cha grined and disappointed, is evident to all. They supposed that Gen. Grant’s military character—a character by the way, that will not bear criticism —was sufficient to captivate the people, and induce them to overlook his many im perfections. They were mistaken, and most of them are reluctantly compelled to confess the great error that was com mitted when Grant was nominated.— Grant has no personal popularity ; the men who served with him in the army are against him with singular unanim ity, and the people at largo regard him a humbug, who, if elected to the Presi dency, would be the pliant tool of cut throat politicians. “Straws show which way the wind blows,” mid indi cate at the same time tliepeople’s deter mination. Gen. Scott, wlio was a mili i tary man, carried three States when he was a candidate; Gen. Grant, if he has luck, may carry the same number; Sey mour, the patriot and statesman, will carry the balance. He is the man for the crisis, the man for the people, the man fit for the position. Fall in, then, men of all parties, and lot your voices go up for “Seymour, Blair and one cur rency for all.” co\(;rf.ssi»nal conferee meeting. The Democratic Congressional Con ferees/ representing this (the loth) Con gressional District, assembled at the public house of Jacob Kline, at Bridge port, this county, on Thursday, August l;j, to place in nomination a candidate for Congress. The following gentlemen appeared as Conferees: Cumberland —Ephraim Corn man, Jas. Anderson, R. J. Coffey. Pern/— II. P. Grubb, A. Egolf, James Woods. York —David Small, Daniel Reiff, W genfritz.

KS KICITZ, r /. The whole question is biought down to this clear point: shall we use our money to pay our debts, relieve the tax-payor, make our money good in the hand of the laborer or pensioner, and help the bondholder? or shall we use it to keep up military depotLm, feed idle negroes, break down the judiciary, shackle the executive, and destroy all constitutional rights.”— Seymour. \Vr [ittemoiie, a New York carpet bagger Congressman from Soutli Caro lina, is charged witli having persuaded all tlie negroes in his district that their marriages were illegal because the proclamation of Lincoln set all the negroes free from matrimony' and sla very. Then, it is said, he married them over again, as a magistrate, for truly 101 l fees. The National hanks, the hondhol ler», tlie bloated manufacturers, and all he capitalists of the country are hau led together against the laboring men. ,et tlie laboring men hand together gainst the moneyed cohorts. Capital determined to crush tlie interests of labor. Will laboring men permit it to he done? Let them answer at the polls. Taxpayers !—Remember that the Radicals in Congress have spent over ($1,500,000,000) one billion and five hun dred millions of dollars, in three years of peace, being more than the whole cost of Government during sixty years' of Democratic rule,! Senator Henderson sums up tire character of the party of “ great moral ideas,” and gives a compendium of its recent legislation when ho says; “To selfish and malicious purposes therwhole power of this government has been given for fifty' days.” Mr. Wpn. R. King, a very intelligent citizen of Bedford, Pa., who was a member of tho Republican party from its foundation, and who voted for Fre mont, and twice for Lincoln, has de clared himself in favor of Seymour and Blair. A largo delegation of soldiers from Ft. Leavenworth marched down to the Democratic ratification meeting at Leavenworth, and one of their number addressed the meeting, indorsing Sey mour l and Blair. CA i>t. Sandford Ooin, at the organi 7.atio i of the Seymour and Blair club at Frankfort, Ky., on Saturday, tho 18th nit., renounced Radicalism and placed himself square upon tho Democratic platform. “ No perversion of truth or audacity of misrepresentation can exceed that which hails this candidate in arms (Grant) an an angel of peace.”— F.

The hanging of the express robbers in Indiana lias decreased the vote for Grant. General Buell, who saved Cranial Shiloh, now declines to rescue him again, and supports Seymoucand Blair, A Western Radical paper says every thing is drifting to greenbacks and re pudiation. His party invented both. A man mowing in Ohio cut a rattle snake in two, and the half to which the head was attached hit him to death. Drums are now ornamented with a likeness of Grant. A better man to beat doesn’t exist. Impartial suffrage, according to Radical logic, is to enfranchise tiro ne gro, and disfranchise the white man. Prentice says the negro with the ballot is like the monkey with the ra zor. In shaving himself he’ll cut his ewn throat. The Radical party swallowed Grant at Chicago, and Prentice thinks thatac counts for the miserable slugger they will make at the coming election. Prentice says that if all flesh is grass we shall have, after mowing the Radicals in November, a tremendous crop of hay. Stanton’s friends have already put dm in the next Cabinet. It will be larder to put him in than it was to get him out. A Radical paper says the reason why Grant don’t say anything is “ because he don’t feel his oats." But it can’t de ny that he feels his ry ■ occasionally. The Radical party, since the Now York nomination, is in a similar condi tion to the hoy’s veal. It hasn’t exact ly died, but it has “ kind o’ gin out.” Grant draws $20,000 per annum, as a salary for doing nothingas “ General of our armies,” and wants to draw S2S, 000 a year more for playing tool to the Radicals. The patriotic modesty of the carpet bag members .of Congress was exempli fied in their claiming pay for the whole term from March last, when they had served only a few days. It is understood to lie probable that Mr. Jefferson Davis will return to this country and reside Orleans, where the firm with which ho is nego tiating has a branch. Ont.y one member of the original Cain pel of Lincoln is now in accord with Radicalism, and that one is Simon Cameron, who was turned out of office by ‘‘the Martyr.” There will be a total eclipse of the sun in India during this month. In November there will be one in the Uni ted States. The total eclipse of the son of Jesse. The carpet-baggers have so complete ly impoverished Florida and Alabama, that Forney says it is “too expensive” to hold elections for President in those States. Grant recently visited Kentucky, was in si veral counties, and made one or two speeches, but wherever he went the Democracy made extraordinarily large gains. “ Let us have peace!” Tennessee is re-constructed. Ten nessee is entirely bankrupt. Can’t meet her July interest. And wants troops. Can’t be carried for Grant without ’em. “ Let us have peace.” WK Policed til cm oncu, We Pierced them once, Ami then we Bucked them sore; And with Frank Blair We’ll make them stare. That they may all Sey-mour. At St. Joseph, Missouri, Sherman said the best tiring Grant could do was to go to sleep. Tire Democracy will promise to wake him up with a salvo of in honor of Seymour’s elec tion. The "-people” whose will Grant in tends to obey are six hundred thousand half civilized negroes, wlro rule ten states in the South and have more pow er in Congress than one half of the peo ple of the country. The Democrats propose to save two hundred and fifty millions of taxes an nually to the people by abolishing the army despotism, and smashing the ne gro bureau. Pennsylvania will give it the first kick in October. A great milny carpet-baggers are sneaking back home to the North with their dirty clothes wrapped up In South ern newspapers. They will not carry carpet-bags for fear of being recognized. “ Arms 1 give us arms,” is tho cry of the Carpet-baggers. Wait till next No vember, and in the general and precipi tate rush of the Radical party towards Salt River, legs will be more in demand than arms. Two State elections have taken place since the nomination of Grant, and both resulted in favor of the Democratic par ty. Oregon has been Radical for yeark, and Was confidently counted as one of the States that wore sure for tirant.— But the people willed it otherwise.— They repudiated Grant and his plat form, and gave the Democratic ticket a decided majority. That was followed by the election in Kentucky, with a Democratic majority of 90,000! Forney in Praise op Seymour.— Honor to New York! Her Governor has acted like a man who knows when the time for partisanship is at an end. Her gallant seventh is now at Harris burg, and, side by side with our brave Pennsylvanians, preparing to resist tho invaders. This is the true spirit of brotherly love. But while tho city of New York is doing so much to save our State, what is tho city of Philadelphia doing?— Forney's Press, June, 1803. The wife of Senator Trumbull died al Washington on Monday, I*Ut UNION I'Ai ll'K' ll\li;UOAt>J Accustomed, as wo an', to the slowpro* greas made with railroad ami other in dustrial enterprises in our eastern States, we can hardly realize the intense rapidi ty and energy which have characterized tho building of the Tnion Pacific Rail road during tho past two years, and which arc carrying it forward, during all this year, at a rate of from two to four miles per day. How is it mno this, in a region devoid of all tho aids to railroad construction which are invalu able, and which the sett Uni portions of our country always contain ? cloven hundred miles in two years! Nothing like it was over done or oven conceived before. Can a railroad be built with such amazing rapidity, and yet he well built* Must not safety and permanence he sac rificed .to mere speed? These are ques tions which have boon asked by those whose attleuliou has been drawn to tho work which is being done by those hav- I ing in charge the construction of this , immense national railroad. I These questions are being answered by ! the official statements of the Company, ! ami the testimony of those who have | visited and thoroughly examined the Union Pacific Railroad. This testimo ny all goes to prove the Road to be well And thoroughly built, completely equip ped, and admirably managed. The working force of the Company is not, us may be cnugectured, confined to a few hundred men who are laying the rails upon the lop of the ground simply to make it possible lor the locomotive to run over them, but numbers not less than twenty thousand men—un army di vided into corps and divisions, according to the labor to .be done. The graders are at work in gangs of hundreds, for three hundred miles-in advance of the com pleted track ; The wood-uud tie choppers are away iu the mountains, twenty and thirty miles distant from the main line, preparing the lit> that hundreds of mule teams are engaged in hauling to the place where wanted ; the track-layers, hy hundreds, are working with wondrous energy, to-keep, pace with Lite graders; the telegraph coip» keep the electric line well up to the constantly-advancing end of the track ; and the finishers fol low oh se upon the track-laj'ers, ami compute the road toady for the train. Then, when all these have contributed their labor toward the building of the Road, gangs of men constantly patrol their respective sections of twenty miles each, and labor incessantly at ballasting, repairing and improving the continental highway. Flow do we learn this? By evidence of those who passed over the railroad expressly to see how the work was done. Thus, a party of thirty respon-ible gen tlemen,representing as many of me lead ing newspapers of the eastern cities, has lately returned from the end of [he road, and their comments upon the enterprise are now being published. These i,'« ntle men took time to fully examine the road, and to learn all available facts concern ing it and the country it traverses.— From their printed opinions we make n few extracts below. A word about the character of this ex cursion parly. The correspondent of the Boston says; “No suggestion,direct or indirect, was made or Implied, that we should lend our Influence to dvance the Interests of the line by any conceal ment or extenuation whatever. Neither in pub ic nor in private was any hint given that we •ere expected to do Hie duty of a * genial critic.’ ‘he character of the invited guests wa* an am le guarantee that a fair and candid account of the expedition would he rendeied, and that any tampering, however delicately managed, would he promptly and proudly resented. For. with lew exceptions, the guests were conspicuous re-' presentatlvcK of the press of three great Atlan tic cities—men of culinre, character anfl ability.’’ Of tbe cbaraeWr ol tbe finished road le editor of the Boston Transcrfyt, says : " Has the road been poorly built as a specula >n, and to obtain the grants of land and mou- ?y, as Ims been often insinuated or roundly as- sericd by ils enemies and those ignorant of the truth? No; most emphatically no. The Union Pacific is a flrst-clas* road ; finely graded,thor oughly tied, well ironed und ballasted, and sub stantially bridged. In short, ami without fear of contradiction by any who have traveled over and carefully, observe*! It, It may be distinctly affirmed, that the Union Pacific will compare mvorably with many of the best roads in the country. This statement, I think, would be sub stantially if not holly Indorsed by the Impartial witnesses that comprised our excursion party. Large portions of the track have been tested du ring a severe fainter; and as! have before wilt ten you, wo rushed smoothly and safely along, always at high speed, and sometimes at the rate of over fifty miles an hour. This certainly sub- 'ted the structure to a severe trial of Ils solid!- The editor of the Phila. J?'rcss t says: “Over this road, thus ecjuippled und appoint ed, our parly made a trial run, which was the best test possible of Its smoothness, safety, man agement and general condition. On the home trip, coming in from Cheyenne to Omaha, a .stretch of five hundred ami .seventeen miles, our runningtlineaverngcd Ihlrty-fourandthreo lourths miles per hour. Atone point fifty-live miles were run in sixty minutes. This is very nearly the fastest time on record in the history of American railroading. That it was made on a new road, running lu part through a hostile country. Is the best evidence in the world that tno romi Has tiuuu uma -witu.uonpgtv fair ness." The editor of theßaltimoro American, says: “I design speaking in detail hereafter of the construction and character of the Pacific Hall road, but must say hero In passing that it Is well and substantially built ana ballasted, and rides more easy than two-lhlrda of the roads east of the Mississippi." The editor of-the New York Evening Express, says: “Figures will not convey, language cannot udeqmitely describe the magnitude of the under taking which is now being carried on in this far western region. Actual observation atone can serve to thoroughly convince the unbeliever of the vigor, the unflinching industry which is be ing exhibited In the construction of this mar velous road; and, what Is more, constructing it well. Firm, solid, substantial, wo have as fine a track ns can bo found on almost any road in the country, while the traveling accommodations are full of ease and comfort.” The editor of the Philadelphia Bulle tin reviews the road in ail its features, and says: “Theroad Itsclfls assolldly and substantially builtasany railroad in America The bridgeware built with heavy and well-seasoned timber* the tlesarolargennd very closely lain; the embank menlsuro solidly constructed; Ihorallsarecare mlly gauged and the Joints closely Joined with • fish-plates;’ the road Is well ballasted with stone grnveljiQd earth, according to the nature of the soil, and the traveler passes over this newly hullt. track with as little consciousness of jolting and jarlng as If the road-bed had been settled and used foruuozenyears. Thu high rates of speed which can be safely attained over the Union Pacific when required, attest the excellent nature of the whole work. The rolling stock Is built at the Company’s shops at Omaha * • and Is of the inostsubstnutlal character. In short, the closest scrutiny has failed to discern any signs of hasty or Imperfect construction." He further says : “To the question which suggests those n marks, we answer unhesitatingly that the Umo rucltlc Railroad is as substantially built, we equipped and carefully managed ns any road 1 America.” Of the way in which the track Is luu the correspondence of the Boston Tra\ cller says: Tho construction trahißarc loaded with Iron,tic.- Hplicoa, chairs,and every necessity for carrying outlie work. There aroscveral of these trains well up to the front, uud when one unloads its material It runs buck to bring up the content* of another train. In advance ol the const ruction trains Is t he boarding and sleeping train. This is piHied up to the extreme end of the track, and when the construction trainsuro unloadedisrun backun* til clear of the unloaded material.

Those taken on a load of rails, say lorty each, with the proper proportion of spikes und chairs, and away they start on the full gallop for the track-layers. On eachaldoof the track are rollers which greatly fa clliate running off the rails. On reaching the truck-layers, parties of live men stand on either side of the truck One of them throws a rail on the rollers Three seize It und run It out to the proper distance, The chief cries out “ down," and thoralllsplaccdluposition,one on each side,the splkesare driven home, the truck thrust forward totheeudof thwallslaat laid, and thosameope rallon is repeated. The road Is then ballasted uudlltted for use us far as the track is laid. When the truck becomes empty it is removed from the truck, and the one in the, rear Is brought to the front,ami the llrst uuo speeds down the line for more supplies; and so on. for hour after hour.and day after day, with a rail laid on either sldoof the truck every thirty seconds, In rain and shine, the work Is Carried on. the splrlts.or t,h e workmen over buoyant,and the euergieaof the contractors never Hugging. ■ The managers of the road are pushing it with the utmost energy, and at the bumetiiue building the road with a thoroughness and faithfulness worthy of all commendation.— As each section is built it is examined minutely by tho government commissioners, Major Win.

Bucher, Vice President —William Senseman Recording Sec’y —AdamS. Longsdorf, Cor. Sea'y —Calvin Clondcnin, Treasurer —George Gross. After appropriate remarks by the President, the Club adjourned to meet at New Kingston, on Saturday eve ning, August 29. Prc-Nic. —The largest and most elabo rately gotten-up pic-nio of the season Was held in a grove near Boiling Springs, on Thursday last. Several hundred invita tions had been issued, and uearly all of them accepted. Wo sincerely regret that business engagements called us away from home and prevented our attendance. Contrary to the usual order, the enter tainment was given in the afternoon and evening. A large platform had been erected for those who wished to “ trip the light fantastic,’' and when the woods were lighted up at night, the scene is said to have been most inspiring. The assembly did not break up until after the hour of midnight* Our Schools and Teachers.— Our Public Schools opened on Monday last, in charge of the following teachers: Primary Department—First Grade— Miss R. Wightman, Miss Rachael Ed monds, Mias Mary Landis, Miss Bella Bectem, Mrs. E. Humrich. Second Grade—Miss Mary'- Postloth wulta, Mrs. H. Adair, 3?. limb ten, Dr. W. G. My era. Secondary Department—First Grade — Miss Lucy Gardner, Miss M. E. B. Phil • lips, Jno C. Stock, S. D. Hampton. Second Grade— Mias Annie Under wood, Mr. R. H. Williams. Girls’ High School —Miss Martha K. Underwood. Bogs' High School —Davidson Eckels. Colored Schools —Miss Mary Roightcr, Miss Sarah Bell. Rancid Butter. —To a pint of wa. ter add thirty drops—about half a tea spoonful—of liquid chloride of lime.— Wash in this two and a half pounds of rancid butter. When every particle of the butter has come ip contact with the water, lot it stand an hour or two: then wash it well in pure water. The .but ter Is then left without any odor, and has the sweetness of fresh butler.— These preparations of lime have noth ing injurious in them. Wo copy the above from one of our ' exenatigwv tRtJ eaiior wltlcli anya; “We forthwith obtained some of the most rancid butter, and it was bad enough for any stomach that had more sensibili ty than a wagon wheel. Wo doctored it as per recipe, and when placed on the table along with new, good .butter, very able judges could not distinguish which was the new butter. Here is a fact worth a year’s aubsciptlou to a paper. Harvest Home. —The Harvest Homo celebration, under the.auspices of the Agricultural Society, at the Fair Grounds, on Saturday, was a very creditable affair, so far as the arrangements of the Society were concerned—but was very slimly at tended, there being, not over one hun dred people-on the grounds. An interesting and instructive address was delivered by Judge Watts, in which he alluded to the gradually decreasing crops of wheat, in our valley, and sug gested that it was occasioned by the want of bone material in the soil. He strongly urged the use of guano, and spoke of the many advantages of having grain thresh ed out by separators instead of the old fashioned threshing machines. His ad dress 'was listened to with close atten tion, and doubtless considerable profit, by those who heard it. After' the address, those pesent par took of an excellent cold collation. Opening oftiiis Schools.— Some k i ud hearted old pedagogue, whoevideutly had not forgotten the varying emotions of hia school-boy days, advertised the opening of hia school thus : “ Dear boys, trouble begins September loth.” Trouble began for tho deny boys and girls of our borough on Mouday last. As the troops of chil dren passed our door—some timid and re luctant, others eager, expectant, excited— we could not help recalling the hopes and fears and doubts which, lu our school-life, always hung around the opening day of the session. How tho little hearts do beat, when the teacher turns the corner; and how the little hands do nervously clutch the satchel, lest the public execu tioner may pounce upon them and give them a good threshing just to “get his hand in." No wonder the little hearts beat and the little knees smite together I Well have tho boding tremblers learned to trace The day’s disasters m his morning face; Full wolf tbey laugh, with counterfeited glee, At all his Jokes, for many a joko hath he; Full well tho busy whisper, circling round, Conveyoa tho dismal tidings when bo frowned.” No wonder they hold “the master’s 1 ’ transcendent abilities in most reverential awe, for m The village all declared how much ho knew; >Twas certain he could write and cipher too; Lands ho could measure, terms and tides presage And ’oen tho story ran that he could guage; And still they gazed and still tho wonderjgrew That one email head could carry oh he knew," MAnttKb ijfci nlrtrkcil doWn tlitt IIHOGS of hla entire hIo-Is Of Spring tiilU Summer Dress goods.

Enckb’s Comet.— The fifteenth pre dicted appearance of Encke’s celebra ted comet is now at hand. Calculation assigns the last of this month as the time when it will bo nearest the earth. This little comet whisks around the sun in an elliptical orbit once in a little more than three years, and is always seen from some part of the earth, for a short time, when passing to or from the vicinity of its perihelion. Look out for the visitor. Foliage, —The delicate beauty of the spring foliage of trees has disappeared; everything green has deepened its col or, and the leaves have expanded to their full size. Instead of an exquisite delicacy in size and color, the foliage is rich, heavy and luxuriant. This is the season of nature’s most voluptuous growth. There are three particular pe riods in the life and death of foliage each year, in which the leaves are pecu liarly beautiful. The beauty of each period is entirely distinct from that of either of the others. The first has passed this year—the geiyn period; the second wo are now enjoying; the third will come in the autumn, the many tinted season. Between each period the time of transition remiuds us of past beauty, or suggests that which is coming. Sad Occurrence.— We have to record the melancholly intelligence that, on Tuesday night, Amos Sketor was instant ly UIIIImI by a blow received from » man to whom htTpresented a bill, and threat ened to “lake it out in his blood.” -The indignant man, whose name wo could not learn, in a heat of uncontrollable pas sion, drew buck and struck his opponent a powerful blow with Ins list, which took effect on the left temple. Sketor dropped like a bullock to the ground, and after a few brief struggles, expired. The mur derer then quietly walked away. He claimed that he.was justified in the deed, ami expressed no regrets for what he had done, saying that he had been provoked boymitjjgiulurauce.- The deceased was of a mnnonuis family, and his tragic death will be mourned by a large circle of friends. He was rash and impetuous, and to tins fact owes his horrible death. We could not 'earn his age. The mur derer was, at last accounts, still at large, no attempt having been made by the au thorjties to secure ills arrest. The llalk. —Head what Elder D. Tay lor of Rouse’s Point, N. Y., says on the hair. “The human hair, bleached by age fright or. disease, can be fully restor ed to its natural color without dyeing it. My case illustrates this statement truth ’fnlly. My hair for seventeen years has been gradually growing white and falling out; but, lo! in a short time I have back my old auburn locks my hair is as firm* as when young; this has been accomplish ed by the use of Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer. It does Its work rapidly, is cooling, healing, and, in my case effec tually, without harm to brain, body,-or general health; this cannot be said of any other preparation sold. I do not know the wonderful ingredients, but I do know experimentally, and by observa tion in scores of, cases, that it is a.most marvelously transforming compound.— Heads of sixty-five are changed by it to youth.” The proprietors, R. P; Hall & Go., Nashua. N. H., will sell to the clergymen at wholesale prices. It Aiuiested.— On Friday evening a difficulty occurred between the police and a soldier, in front of Mrs. Kieffer’s stoic, which resulted in the soldier be ing knocked down and taken to jail.— We were informed that the police stopped the soldier and demanded his pass, when he declared he would kill them, if they interfered with him.— If this was all, it was scarcely cause for such rough treatment as he received; and we are informed that the soldier made no attempt to resist the officers of the law. We have always been one ofthe moststrenuousadvocatesof the po lice system,but would remind the of the law that tjieir is such a thing as a community being governed too much. Wo never could see the nescssijy for our borough police being made a patrol for the arrest of those who take “french leave” from the garrison, and we utterly deny the authority of our civil officers to arrest asoldior who is behaving himself, simply because he has no pass from the proper officer at the post.
