Illinois Wheat Harvest.—A let ter dated Chicago, 111., June 21, says— Southern Illinois is now in the midst ol the wheat harvest. A correspondent from that part states that the wheat harvest of this part of Illinois was never better than this season. The present week thus far has been exceedingly fa vorable for harvest work. A few days more good weather will secure the crop. Men, wpmen and children are in the wheat fields. The scarcity of help ren ders this necessary. A PatherShoots the Seducer of his Daughter.—A letter dated Washington, D. C., June.2l, says—A shooting affray occurred here this morning, the particulars of which are as follows: Some five months ago Joseph A. ilradley, Jr., a lawyer here, married a Miss Hardy, of Georgetown. Soon after marriage Bradley discovered that his wife was enclentv. Upon being ac cused of it she confessed, whereupon Mr. Bradley sent her home to her fath er. The latter questioned his daughter as to the father of the child, and she gave the name of one William L. Da vis, a real estate broker of this city, as the responsible party. Her father to-day met Da via and shot him on sight. The wound is »,ot considered fatal, still doubts are en tertained of his recovery. Davis was engaged to be married to a daughter of a prominent official here. All the nart ties have heretofore moved in the lies social circles, and the matter creates in lense excitement. THE RADICAL PLATFORM. The resolutions adopted by the Phil adol phia office-hold era’ ’convention were written by some ono who is fully of tho opinion that tho people aro fools, who never think or investigate for them selves. One resolution endorses Civil Service Reform, when it is notorious that Grant’s friends in tho Senate denounced Republican Senators who advocated this measure as “ traitors to tho Repub lican party and enemies of the adminis tration.” Civil Service Beform, in deed I What would become of the thousands of negroes who hove no knowledge of their A. B. C’s., but who are office-holders under Grant,- if capa city was made the test of holding office ? They would all have to leave, and this would kick up a rumpus in the darkey camp. To pass a resolution, then, in favor of this reform, when it is notori ous that Grant is hostile to it, is the act of dishonest demagogues who think they can practice deception upon the people with impunity. Another resolution demands the abo lition of the franking privilege. Well, why have they not abolished it ? They had a large majority in both houses of Congress; why did they not wipe this “privilege” out. of existence? Simply because they did not want it wiped out. They want to use the mails to send out their Speeches and lies to the people at the people's expense. They iled in their throats when they (the office-hold- oral declared themselves favorable to the abolition of the franking privilege. Another resolution opposes the giv ing away of the public lands to corpor ations! This is decidedly rich. Why, during the administration of the im- becile Grant, millions and millions of acres of the best lands in America have been voted to rich corporations, and many of the Senators arid, members of ■Congress who voted for these grants are partners in the corporations thus favored. That accounts for the milk in the cocoanut. This is One of the ways by which certain members -of Congress become immensely wealthy in a few years—they vote themselves our public lands. Had the lands that have been voted to corporations been sold to our own people at even a nomi nal price, enough money would have been lealized to have liquidated two thirds of our National debt. This fact has boon matlo appawajfc i|)o ablest men of our country, who have watched with amazement the reckless course of Congress in making a present of these lands to rich corporations. Why, Jay Cook alone-a man who counts his wealth by tens of millions—has been voted more acres of valuable lands than are contained in the States of Pennsyl vania and Maryland! If, then, the Radicals are opposed to giving away the public lands to rich corporations, why do they do it ? And if Grant is op posed to this infernal villainy, why don’t he veto instead of signing the bills making these grants? Can his office holders who placed him in nomination look an honest man in the face and an swer these questions? We trow not. Again, a resolution was adopted fav oring the protection of the rights of naturalized citizens; and then, as if to stultify themselves as no men ever did, the office-holders, carpet-baggers, scala wags and negroes nominate the bigot, 'wuortn fqr Yice President,a man who, ishment of afi h—- from our country! Wilson has never recanted his Know-Nothing sentiments, and never will. . He is a Know-Noth ing to-day, as he was,twenty years ago. What' beauties are they, then—Grant’s office-holders and negroes—to talk about protecting the rights of our natu ralized citizens? These citizens re quire no protection; they are Ameri cans by adoption, and they claim and, will have their rights in defiance of Wilson and other littie-souled bigots. Then, again, we have a resolution squinting at additional protection—in other words a higher tariff. This was a crumb for Pennsylvania, and was in tended as a blind. If these Radical pap-suckers think the people want ad ditiorial burthens placed upon their shoulders, by increasing our tariff rates, why don’t they gratify the people? Why did they electafree trader Speak er of the House, if they favor a high tariff? U his tariff question is used ev ery year in Pennsylvania as an elec tioneering dodgo tp catch gudgeons, but the people of this State have become tired of listening to the professions of demagogues who are afraid to carry their professions ;into execution. The tariff! Fiddlesticks! Another resolution was passed by this black-and-tan office-holders’ con- resolution “in favor of econ omy in the expenditures of the govern ment!!’’ As old Mrs. Partington was wont to say, “didyou ever!” In the face of what we have seen, this resolu tion is the quintessence of Impudence. We venture to say that two-thirds or more of the men who manipulated that packed and bought' up ■ convention, have become rich by defrauding the government. They are the men who understand “ addition, division and si lence.” And just in the midst of the universal corruption that is sweeping over our country like the simoon in the desert, and when it requires four times as much money to run the government now that it ever did before, we are told by the men who have been guilty of this extravagance and corruption, that they favor economy in the expenditures of the government! This is the old cry over again—the same resolve that they made when they nominated Grant four years ago. But now when it is known to everybody that Grant’s administra tion has been corrupt, venal and ex travagant beyond anything ever known in this or any other country, is it not wonderful that the very men who have been plundering us, should dare to flaunt their false and hypocritical pro- fissions before an intelligent people? What an unblushing and incorrigible set of plunderers they are. But, enough. These men, after pass ing the resolutions we have been com- menting upon—after having thus in sulted the people—had but one thing more to do, and that was to nominate Grant. This they performed, and their self-sacrificing labors wore ended; Off With Their Heads.—Special dispatches fijpm Washington announce that Gen. Simon Cameron has made a demand for the removal of all men now holding office who are suspected of lack of enthusiasm in supporting the Pennsylvania state ticket. “ STRAWS BHOW’-GREELEY. “ Straws show which way ,the wind blows,V is a trite but very Suggestive adage. To our mind (Judging from tho action of the Democratic State Conven tions in the various States. East, West, North and South,) —to our mind, wo say, it is evident that tho ticket placed in nomination by the Liberal Republi cans—Greeley and Brown—will bo cor dially and enthusiastically endorsed by tho Democratic National Convention, to assemble at Baltimore on the 9th of next month. According to our views, too, this endorsement will be right and proper, wise and magnanimous. That Horace Greeley,has been a heated partisan, who has said a great many hard things against the Democratic party, everybody knows ; and that we have assailed, and, in our feeble way, attempted to combat Mr. Greeley’s dog mas and assaults; is well known to the readers of the Volunteer. We always felt that his editorials in the Tribune. were ponderousjand telllng,and too often effective, and it was our duty as a Dem ocratic editor and partisan, to parry his blows as best we could, and guard the Democratic citadel. But now a ,new state of affairs con front us. Our beloved country is in the hands of desperate men—men who, to gratify their own aspirations, are ready and willing to tun the ship of State up on the shoals and quicksKnds, rather than see it pass into the bands of hon est and capable men. Simon Cameron of this State, is President so far as Pennsylvania is concerned. Morton, a man equally unscrupulous, is President for Indiana, Brother-in-law Casey is President for Lousiana. The whole South is in the keeping of ignorant ne groes and villainous carpet-baggers from Wilson’s State, (Massachusetts.) The whole object of these negroes, car pet-baggers, scalawags and jail-birds is to keep up strife, bloodshed, and an archy, and thus depreciate the value of Southern lands,, rail-roads, and other interests, and by this means give Grant an excuse to hurl his military legions upon this distressed people, and to force his re-election at the point of the bayonet. u Such Is the situation. Mr. Greeley, who has no sympathy with villainy, and who abominates those chamelipn faced sanctimonious scoundrels who spell “pray” with the a oiriitted and an e «übatitiitod, manthfi -aan—lnna, before, the Cincinnati Convention assembled— took off his white coat, rolled up his ■sleeves, and sharpened his goose-quill pen, to write and labor against the con spirators. His bold and trenchant ar ticles in his paper, the Iribune, his burning words of denunciation, (in his speeches before the people in mass meetings assembled,) his invectives against the head of the villainous con spiracy, Grant, attracted the attention of the whole country. Good men—true men of all parties—men who love and revere their country, its history and its statesmen—felt the flow of warm blood as they read the scathing words of Greeley. He had been the antagonist of the Democratic party from, his youth up; but now, in his ripe old age, when he is convinced that the objects of the Republican party is anarchy and des potism; villainy and crime, he has left it, with loathing and contempt. He considers the country in danger, and he anneals to «u.a«u«i men—wUhAnt-M— -xo wrest it from the hands of the Goths and Vandals who have’ entrenched themselves behind its pillars. Democrats! let by-gones be by-gones, let the past be forgotten, and let good men of all patties—men who desire re form, honesty and capacity at the head of our puce proud but now humiliated country-clasp haqds, - and swear in their hearts that this incubus called the . “ Grant ring” must be wiped out. That we will elect. Buckalew uover nor of Pennsylvania, is a forgone con clusion. Thirty thousand Liberal Re publicans will assist us to push on that column. The same combination will elect Hendricks Governor of Indiana. Honest men are joining hands all over the country in the common cause pf opposition to the gift-taker! Let the Democrats of Cumberland arid of Penn sylvania, then, look at things as they are and not as they would wish them to be, and by pru dence, forbearance and work, assist to dethrone the little tyrant Who is now loitering at Long Branch. Onward ! A “ Spiritual” Combination.— The members of the Philadelphia Convention, having nominated the president of the whiskey ring and the president of the Young Men’s Christian Association and chairman of the Con gressional prayer meeting, will enable the Radical party to drive a heavy business, if the combination of great spiritual and moral Interests avail any thing in these demoralizing times.— The combination is ' on the plan of Beecher f s religion—success in great gains, no difference about the means.— The men who are running the Radical machine will run a' distillery through a prayer meeting with as much com placency as Beecher delivers a political speech in church, provided it makes votes for Grant. Cot. Forney favors Grant gently and opposes Hartranlt with all his might. But so far as Pennsylvania is concerned Hartranft means Grant, and Grant means Hartranft. In fact one is the shadow of the other. Is the latter a fraud? So is the former. Was the latter nominated by a packed conven tion? So was the former. Will the latter kill the party that elects him? So will the former. And no one knows this better than Col. Forney. Only he is a born and trained politician, and watches the weathercock while abler and braver men make the wind. Senator Sumner, in his speech in the U. S. Senate, on the 31st ult., tells what Mr. Stanton, on his death bed, tolddiim, when speaking of Grant, as follows: “ I know Grant better than any’ other person in the country can know him. It was my duty to know him when I did not see him, and now I tell you what I know, ‘ HE CAN NOT GOVERN THIS COUNTRY 1’ ” When a boy finds himself unequal to continue the contest he has provoked with a mate, he often retreats behind the paternal gate and contents himself by “ making faces” at his antagonist.— This ’ kind of warfare appears the fovorlte one with Radicals towards Sumner. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, 'By tho processor selection prescribed by tho Act of Assembly, providing for the calling of a. convention to amend tho constitution, each political party has secured to it tho election of at Ibast one delegate from every senatorial dis trict in tho State; and as the time is rapidly approaching when the names of the candidates from which to select are to bo placed before the people of their respective districts, we feel it our duty to make public tho responsibility that necessarily attaches itself to a po sition at once so honorable and Impor-; tant, in order that in making their se lection the masses that compose the Democracy of this district will not al low themselves to be controlled- by in dividual men or personal influence for the gift of an office of high trust, such as that of delegate to a convention o amend the constitution, is a compli ment of the highest grade to the one upon whom conferred, and should therefore bo bestowed upon those only who,, possess the high qualifica tions of learning and experience which alone can enable one to fulfill the du ties that are a sequence to receiving the position. The man of even-ordinary reason knows that a legislative body, with no check to control its movements, must soon, by its own acts, virtually becoine a felo de se, or suicide, and most espe cially when that body is composed of such stagnate corruption as annually oozes in and out of the legislative halls ofPennsyivania, where all private legis lation is purchased with money, and where bribery and corruption of the worst feature are almost part of its rules. It is to establish this check upon our collective body of law-makers, that the constitutional convention is to assem ble, and the result is to be brought about by proposing to the citizens of this Commonwealth for their approval or rejection; a new constitution or amend ment to the present one, whichever, in , their wise discretion, the convention, may deem expedient. When, then, the selection of its delegates is made, jet it be from among those men who are able to act and willing to extend their hand to put an end to this corruption by circumscri bing the sphere of action which toler ates and permits tho long calendar of special legislation which year after year has covered the pages‘of our statute Looks; such legislation as enables the man of influence to shackle the free movement of his less influential neigh bor ; ‘as enables powerful transporting monopolies to place a price and value upon human life; such as enables villainous rings to handle and control State and municipal funds; for until this Is done, we have legislation in nothing but the name. Let the people, therefore, unite upon the threshold of the campaign, and If the honest .men throughout the, land are to have no voice in the enacting branch of Slate govern ment, they will at least; have one in limiting its power by an early action at the proper time. Let the Democracy of this district bear this in mind in making their nominations. IMPORTANT LAW, Tha.. laat-Jaaialaihra—«““ - qulry made of democrats by alarmed Grantites. “ How is it possible for a democrat to vote for Greeley, a life long republican?” Well, we confess that Greeley requires a little lubrica ting to make him go down easy, but the thing is not an impossibility, ns post events have fairly proven, Ulysses S. Grant was a life-long democrat, never voted: but once in his life, and that vote was cast for James Buchanan.;, yet the republicans swal lowed him. He proved an emetic to a very large portion of the party and nauseated others; but the bread and butter brigade managed recently last to gulp him down. Colonel John W. Forney was a life long democrat, and perhaps the bitter est, most vindlctative and Influential opponent of the republican party. In such political detestation was he held by the whig party that, his very name was a synonym of everything that was disreputable in politics; and yet tho ‘republicans swallowed him without greasing, and at once placed him at the head and front of their co horts. , Simon Cameron was a life-long demo crat, continueing with the party until he became so utterly corrupt that he was too much even for the stomach of tho democracy, when he was spewed, and the nasty thing, like a half digested oyster, was greedily swallowed by those dainty republicans. Governor John W. Geary was a life long democrat, enjoyed, the honors of the democratic party, and was trusted ,by it, until,, finding that his Interests could bo more largely promoted in an other direction, he greased himself with the shine of apostacy, and was gobbled up ns greedily by the republi can party as a young robin would gather up an earth worm or a hairy catterpillar. Ben Butler Was a standard bearer of the demcratic party until he became, a terror to republicans. He fairly oot heroded Herod in his devotion to the Ero-slavery interests. He cast sixty ve consecutive votes for Jefferson Da vis in the Charleston convention; and yet, reeking with ail this anti-republi can foulness, and with his hands and pockets filled with silver spoons, forks, pitchers, goblets and other valuable properly of southern people, was rolled under the tongue of the republican party as a sweet .morsel for a season, and' then' gulped down with as much gusto as though he had been a ripe strawberry smothered in cream. Our esteemed friend, Daniel Dough erty, was once the “silver trumpet of the democracy,” bpt his musical ca dences were wanted at the Union and league he was swallowed down without a grimace. . We might multiply these instances aarttijtnKwn wertrit Dut it is not. Whether the democrats swallow Greeley or not is a question for future consideration; but that they could' do so, and be justified by countless pre cedents furnished by the republican party, we have already shown. When, therefore, a democrat is asked how he is going to swallow Greeley, the satis factory and conclusive reply can be made : “ Just as the republicans swal lowed Grant and Forney and Geary and Cameron, ,et id omne genus, with this difference, that Horace, with all his peculiarities, is an -honest, clean morsel, untainted by corruption and unstained by dishonor, which is more than can be said of some of the pre cious morsels which have gilded smoothly down the gullet of republi canism.— Ph,ila. dimming Herald. TIOGA COUNTY.' £ Senator M'Olure Opens the Greeley Cam paign in the Republican Stronghold of “"SIANBPiELD, June 20.—Senator M’- Clure dropped in upon us yesterday and delivered the annual address be fore the alumni association of the state Normal School last evening to a verv large audience. His subject was “Our i mornil >g he visited thelsoldiera* orphans’ school, and ad dressod the pupils, with Bepresenta tive Mitchell, a joint committee of republicans and democrats urged him to deliver a political address, and he finally consented to speak this after noon. Business was generally sus pended, and nearly the whole commu mty, of both sexes, met in the town hall this hot atternoon and heard an mldress of over an hour in length, with profound attention. He spoke verv dispassionately, but positively, of the demoralization resulting from unwise and selfish personal rule in the state and nation, and urged that party lines bo disregarded to maintain'the man hood of the citizen and the supremacy of the civil authority under all circum stances. He did not name any state candidates, but urged that no partv prejudices should make republicans ydte against those candidates who are honest and competent, and have honest surroundings and associations. Prof. Alien, founder of the State Normal school, Judge Humphries, . Colonel Johnson, ex-Eeprssentative- Elliott, and many others of the leading repub licans of this vicinity, participated in the meeting, and are working actively for Greeley. . J Thu Philadelphia Inquirer, republican taking a philosophical, view of the Re publican situation as at present develop ed, admits that Pennsylvania Is to be the Keystone of the political arch in the coming Presidential election, and thus proceeds to briefly review the prospects of the administration party : “ a (® numerous causes combin ing to make the contest more than usual ly earnest.

In Penn sylvania matters are even worse. The State nominations at Harrisburg have not been accepted with that enthusiasm and unanimity which are generally re garded as necessary to insure success.” The adjournment of Congress is something of a relief to the country.— Its proceedings had become wearysome and many of its doings were disgrace ful. It-is refreshing to take up the morning papers without being con fronted with a report of Conkling’s in solence or Butler’s bullying. The accounts of Indian depredations, and the spread of cholera, and the war in ,1116x100, are far more agreeable reading ■than Carpenter’s attempts at wit in the Senate, and the disorderly proceedings In the House,'which remind one of a battle ofhyenas rather than the delib erations of legislators. The Grantites dote on Qerrlt Smith as though he were a strawberry short cake whitened with a whole shower of powdered sugar. None of them cifres to remember that he signed Jeff Davis' bailbond. O no. It is only Mr. Gree ley’s signature that was wicked. ,[From tho Harrisburg .PoMof.J HAETBANFT AND HIS APOLOGISTS. Something has been gained thus early in the canvass in compelling the most prominent of General Hartranft’s suppor ters to oomo forward in the defense of bis official acts. They have made the timely discovery that instead of a parrot liko recital of a military record which is not assailed, they must endeavor to clear the skirts of their candidate of the offi cial corruption which has befouled them since he became auditor general. This relieves the discussion of much lereieveu-' oy and brings the people to thepraotloal consideration whether General Hnrtranft possesses any of. the. qualifications for governor of this great commonwealth. It has been repeatedly charged that General Hartranft has been grossly neg ligent and corrupt In the discharge of the duties of auditor general; and this Is what tils apologists have undertaken to deny. The fifteenth section of the act of March 30,1811, makes it the duty of the auditor general “to annually report to tho legislature a list of. the which remain unsettled, and the reasons therefor.” It will be readily shown that if auditor general Hartranft had not en tirely neglected to obey this law which was framed for his guidance, the state would not have been defrauded of nearly $300,000 by Evans and his Syndicate. Passing over the ' positive evidence, contained in the report of the investiga ting committee, of. General Hartranft’s full knowledge of the unsettled condition of the claims put into the hands of Evans under the act of 1807, let us come down to the valid assets of the commonwealth, amounting to upwards of one million of dollars, which he delivered up to the agent in the early part of the year 1870. These were claims filed in the auditor general’s office between December 3,1863, and February 26, 1870. Some of these vouchers, therefore, were lying in the pigeon holes of his office for several years. Gov. Geary in an official report makes a sneering'allusion to these “dust covered vouchers.” General Hartranft was inducted into office in May, 1866. The law quoted above made it his im perative duty to report the condition ■ of these claims to the legislature annually, but we search in vain for the evidence that General Hartranft made such report to any or all of the legislatures of 1867, 1868,1869,1870 and 1871. Five times did he fall to perform a plain duty required by law. In all those years Georgs O. Evans was carrying on his depredations and was aided by the neglectof the audi tor general. It was that gross negligence of duty on the part of the auditor general which amonnts to corruption, and estab lishes his utter unworthiness ofr any im portant and responsible civil trust. - When the time for the presentation of these claims at Washington was draw ing to a close, this slothful and negligent absentee auditor general received an or der from Governor Geary to de liver the vouchers into the tender care of George O. Evans. ,We are told that the auditor general hesitated.— Ho ended, however, in giving up these assets, covering upwards of a million of tbo money of tho-people, without ro quiring.the slightest security. When the o'V’olon-.i.n .1 RIU-these claims were unsettled, yet notwitustana*'" 1 ing the requirements of the law, not a whisper concerning them was heard from ' the auditor general* Is it strange, then, that a joint committee of the Legislature, the majority of whom were Republicans, should emphatically put on record their of the looseness of the “ official routine that placed in the hands “ of Evans over a million of dollars of “ valuable assets without requiring any “security whatever.” Who but Qeu’l Hartranft - placed over a million of dol lars of valuable assets in the keeping of Evans? Whose was the looseness of of ficial routine concerning which the com mittee could not but express their disap probation ? Vainly will the ring organs attempt to falsify this record. Their re peated assertions that the report of the Evans committee exonerated Hartranft, are shown to bo wholly void of truth. In utter defiance of this record of the audi tor general and his condemnation by the committee, as well as of its own repeated declarations, the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin asserts now that to Gen. Hart ranft “ chiefly the people are indebted for «the exposure of this great villainy.”— "mb'v-Rr-’fnfe* mory idia Understanding ol' its readers! for in August last it used edi torially the following language: Joseph M. McClure, Esq., deputy attorney gen eral, to whom alone is due the credit of the discovery qf this whole, affair,” &o.— Even after the exposure had been made through the columns of the Bulletin, General Hartranft moved only when driven by public clamor, and he then re luctantly followed the wake of State Treasurer Mackey, who was actuated by a well known hostility to Gqv. Geary, whom he wished to ruin.- Not until General Hartranft was put upon the de fensive by the publications in the New York papers did be begin to manifest any zeal. His zeal at that late day was rewarded by his exoneration by the com mittee from the charges in the Pain res olutions and in the &un correspondence. But the broker Yerkes was not called, nor was his affidavit explaining Hart ranft’s speculations with the public funds put in evidence. That might have altered the case. The committee distinctly charge upon auditor general Hartranft that “ looseness” in the dis charge of his duties by which Evans ob tained upward of .a million in assets of the commonwealth without .security.— The apologists of the .ring candidate must try again. He stands before the people convicted by the record of gross neglect, malfeasance and corruption in office, " The Old Guard," The great county of Lancaster contains ten political papers—one Liberal, three Lemooratic and six, Republican. On the Gubernatlonal question tbey are as follows: The Volksfreund, weekly, German, re publican* parades the regular Office holders’ ticket, but says little or nothing about it. The Lancaster Examiner, Republican, weekly, published by John A.

The Lancaster Inquirer, a weekly Re publican, parades the regular ticket, in cluding Hartranft and Allen, but openly and boldly declares that unless they withdraw these oandidatesand nominate better ones, overwhelming ddfeat awaits the party in October next. Itis decidedly against Hartranft. The Lancaster Weekly Enterprise, Re gublioan, is openly and strongly against fartranft, refuses to hoist the ticket and will probably support Baokalew. The weekly .

New Haven, June 20.— The Demo cratic delegates of Connecticut .to the Baltimore convention met in this city to-day, and appointed Hon. Charles It. Ingersoll.of New Haven, chairman of the delegation, and James H. Olmstead, of Stamford, secretary. Though pledged to no candidates, the unanimous expres sion of the delegates was in favor of Greeley and Brown. flgyThe way they do things in Washington is illuatarted by the fact that there, are now in store $13,000,000 worth of army clothing, the care of which costs $150,000 per year. There are rubber blankets enough to supply all prospective pemands for 130 years to cpme; rubber pouches and' artillery jackets for 80 years, and blouses for 40 years. These contracts were giyen out to favorites, and Show the way the debt grew up, and the motive of it. Already the Government has received $185,000,000 for war material sold, and here is a chance for at least $14,000,000 in Quartermaster’s stores alone. The outrage of paying $150,000 a year to take care of army stores needs no comment. , „ r J3jT.A.- Ti*. r, .... 1... *.. jwrwDnlWjl;.—tDo‘ Irish Democrat gives a table showing the strength of the foreign vote in the respective States.

Grant gave hla office-holders orders some time ago that he should bold them responsible if they did not carry the Phil adelphia Convention for him. Theobeyed orders and Grant was nominated by acclamation: He was immedi ately informed by telegraph of the result, in the expectation that the announcement would afford him a joyous surprise; but not so-, his only Y“IU..SSIV I )4- ment gives me no surprise, as the dele gates had been instructed to vote for me.” Qen. Grant, in his letter of accep tance of the Philadelphia nomination promises, in case of a reeleotion, “ the eame zeal and devotion to the good of the whole people for the future of my official life as shown in the past.” This is certainly saying very little for the “good of the whole people.” If the good of the people, under a future administration of Qen Grant, depends upon an exercise of the “same zeal and devotion” to their interests which he has exhibited under his, present administration, wo pity the poor people, that’s all. There are a few carpet-baggers of the office-grabbing breed in Virginia.— A Petersburg paper illustrates the fact as follows :» “ A man from Maine has our post-office; a Vermont man repre. sents us in Congress; a fellow from Pennsylvania is our street commission er ; our commissioner of revenue is a Massachusetts .man j a fellow' from Philadelphia is Jailer ; the chief of Po lice is a Pennsylvanan; two negroes represent us in the Legislature: a Maine man represents us in the Senate. agyPresident Grqnt and all his fami ly, both military and domestic, have taken up their abode at Long Branch for the summer, in the cottage by the sea (worth about §40,000) that was pre sented to his Imperial Excellency by Tom.

The receift storm swept like a very wlmj of death, at latest accounts forty-two ves sels 'had gone down and over two thousand lives lost. There were in all, four thousand persons imperiled, and of this number only very few have been heard from. The Pope has addressed a letter to Cardinal Antonelli protesting against recent encroachments of the Italian Government on the prerogatives of the Holy See. He says a conflict with the Italian Government is inevitable, and requests Antonelli to appeal in his behalf to foreign powers. Senator Cameron has sent to Wash ington a list of Pennsylvania postmas ters, who will be removed for opposing Hartranft for Governor. As Wilson is intended to carry the temperanqp vote, we suppose Grant is good for the intemperate. ®cto gliib«rt{aemeirt». “ Without OoiOt the final periodical published, liav no equal in either Europe or America.” SCRIBNER’S FOR JULY Will Attract Deserved Attention.
