A Ukoruia judge tauv&ileeu years ago sentenced a man to be hung, and last month passed a similar sentence on the man’s son. Philadelphia is to have a new post office, which gives the citizens of that ancient municipality profound sat isfaction. f • The physicians of Uew York report an alarming increase of cancer on the nose, caused by the practice of wearing eye-glasses, that are held, to the bridge ol the nose by a spring. The June report of the Department of Agriculture estimates the wheat crop of the present year at 229,000,000 bushelSj or 1,000,000 bushels less than the crop af last year. The courtesies of the White House, during the next Administration, will be administered by Miss Ida Greeley, the President’s handsome daughter, a sweet little woman of the most win some kind. The steamship Nevada, which sailed from Liverpool, England, on the 26th ult., brings our 32 u afprmon coiuuraca. The two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Peter the Great, was cele brated with great festivity, at St. Pe tersburg, on the 11th ult. The labor strikes in New York, Philadelphia, and elsewhere are sub siding, as the employers will not give way to the demand of eight hours for a days Work. The latest Mexican advices give the usual hatch of contradictory reports concerning Juarists and revolutionary movements. The only rumor of im portance is that Trevino is again march ing on Matamoras. Thebe is a rumor that Miss Nellie Grant is engaged to a Scotch lord. Her younger brother has gone to Europe to attend school, and some people wish the balance of the family would follow suit add remain there. Crowding Along —Years ago, when the country was' only sparsely populated, there was one inhabitant to every ten acres, but novy the propor tion is changed to one and a half acres; but the adjustment of the acres and their productive powers to the altered number and condition of present popu lation has been neglected. The bills of mortality for New Y ork and Paris during the week end ing May 25th, and for London during the week ending May 18th, show that the death rate of New York is much higher than in the two other cities named. New York, with a population of 912,300, had 640. deaths; Paris, with a population of 1,980,000, had 812_deaths aud London, with a population of 3,- 251,800, had 1268 deaths. The California bag of flour, which netted so much for the Sanitary Com mission, has a promising rival in a Boston baby-house, which has been twice donated to an Old Ladies’Home and has brought over a thousand dol lars to the institution already. And the house is still in the market, in a hundred shares at five dollars a share. Baffling is not exactly a Christian in stitution, but why not make a divine use of the devil’s instruments some times ? It was a wise suggestion to throw medicine to the dogs, at least before taking it yourself. A Missouri youth took some bitters for the ague, and died. Two' physicians tasted of the bitters to show the youth’s mother that the medicine was harmless, and they died, victims of misplaced confidence. What amazes us is that Missouri had two physicians who were willing to take their own medicine. Were they beginners or quacks ? Laura Pair’s case is attended with remarkable fatalities, Since her con viction, her counsel, Elisha Cooke, has died; her prosecutor, Henry Bryne has died; Judge Sp'raguo who granted her a new trial has died; a son of Mr. Crittenden, who was a witness against her, has died; and now her mother is dangerously ill. H she had lived in Salem two centuries ago she would have been regarded as a witch and treated accordingly. The report from the dead letter of fice reveals a startling amount of epis tolary carelessness. Of nearly three million leiters, sixty-eight thousand could not be forwarded for the reason that the name of the county and state were left out of the direction; four hundred thousand were unstamped, and more than three thousand were mailed with no direction at all. And, strange to say, these letters contained money orders to the amount of two millions of dollars. Maine has one place remarkably fa vorable to longevity. Her State Prison has just turned out a hale, healthy, happy old convict of eighty-four, after treating him to a third term, and there is no telling how long he might live had she not cruelly discharged him in his did age. But wo shall not be sur prised to hear that ho has stolen anoth er horse, or run away with another man’s wife, or committed some other peccadillo just for the sake of returning to his comfortable quarters, and regular fare, and pleasant exercise in this mod el institoMon. A GOOD COUNTY TICKET A NECESSITY In a few Weeks njore the Democrats and Liberal. Republicans who intend to act with us this fall will meet in their respective,townships and Boroughs for the purpose of electing Delegates to a County Convention, to place in nomin ation a county ticket. We elect this fall a Congressman, Member of Assem bly, Associate Judge, Prothonotary, Clerk of the Court, Register, County Commissioner, Dlrector' of the Poor, Auditor, and last, but by no means the ■least,, two Delegates to the Constitu tional Convention—one to come from Franklin. Let the Democrats and Conservatives see to i.t, then, that they send as Dele gates to the County Convention, men of integrity and honor—men who are not only proof against bargain and sale, bribery and corruption, but whose characters will commend them to the respect of the people. It is absolutely necessary that we nominate an unex ceptionable ticket for the support of the t people at the October election. Hav-, ing fallen back once more',upon the Delegate system, let us be careful not to abuse it as it was abused before its repeal was demanded. When the Del egates assemble in Convention let them act the part of conscientious men hav ing a duty to perform ; and let-the vot ing for candidates be by word of mouth —viva voce. This thing of depositing ballots in a stove-pipe hat—the hat in the hands of a dishonest and often brib ed man—must never again be resorted to in a Cumberland county Democratic Convention. We are’-not so much bound to party as to be again dragoon ed into the support of a bad man who receives a hat nomination. It bason more than one occasion been resorted to by those who had no strength before the people, but whose strength consist ed in their ability to bribe Delegates to betray the trust confided to them by a betrayed constituency. We repeat, that we cannot conscientiously, and will not, support a ticket nominated in. this cowardly and corrupt manner.— More than this, we must have a ticket composed of men fresh from the ranks of the people, and who iire of the peo ple. The candidate for Congress belongs to Perry, and should that county present a man acceptable to Cumberland, (as we believe she will,) it will our duty to endorse him. Cumberland haanorec cgaiirod candidate lit the field, ond wiJJ have none. For Delegate to the Constitutional Convention, let a good solid Termer or mechanic or business man be selected. It is a mistake to suppose that that body should be‘composed entirely of lawyers. As it is, there will be entire ly too many' lawyers in the Conven tion.- We would like to see the Demo crats of Cumberland recognize the fact that the farmer or mechanic or business man is just as. capable to serve us in that body as any lawyer in the county.’ We hope, then, now that the old Del egate system of nominating candidates is again to be .tried—the Crawford County System having served its pur poBe_that we will move on smoothly and nominate the kind, of men we for merly nominated, and who were nom inated because of their intrinsic worth. So mote it be. A Nice Man , for the foreigners to Tote for. In 1854 Mr. Henry Wilson was the chief of the Know-Nothing organization in Massachusetts, which party, in se cret convention, nominated a candidate for Governor, who was elected. Mr. Edward Everett, who was then United States Senator, resigned, and the Kno w Legislature elected Mr. Henry Wilson to fill the vacancy. Mr. Wil son did not take his seat until the 10th of February, 1855, and on the 23rd of the same month, in a long debate on s bill providing for the enforcement of the United States laws, he repeatedly spoke of the American or Know-Noth ing party, “ with which I act.” He claimed to be, and was, the representa tive of the party in the Senate. On the Ist of March, 1855, Mr. Wilson, as the Senatorial representative of that party, presented the petition of the cit izens of Boston, Mass., praying for a repeal of the naturalizrtion laws of the United Stages. On the 4th of March the session, of Congress closed, and Mr. Wilson did not appear again until the December following. He remained a representative of the Know-Nothing party until 1856, when that organization became a “ national party,” repudiated anti-slaveryism. Mr. Wilson then join ed the Republican party. This is the gentleman selected by the Grant party to offset Mr. Schurz. He is expected to draw all the old Know- Nothings, to take the place of the Ger mans, One of the leading Democrats of Michigan, Hon. John C. Blanchard, writes in a private letter, that when he first heard of Mr. Greeley’s nomination, he mentally repudiated it; but when he read Mr. Greeley’s letter of accept ance, and learned the particulars of his bailing of Jeff. Davis, his views and feelings changed, and he admired the independence and magnanimity of the man. The fact that Mr. Greeley is honest, and more of a statesman than a politician, and more of a patriot than a partisan, has led him to throw out the Cincinnati flag and advocate its adop tion at the Baltimore Convention,To which he is a delegate. A Greeley club of a hundred Republican members has been formed at Grand Rapids, and if Baltimore says the right word the en tire Democraey will fall into line. The “ Old Whitf Hat” is sure of five thou sand, land may get fifteen thousand, majority in Michigan. This is the way the Democrats of the country see things. A Slight Mistake,— Mack writes from Washington a story of an unso phisticated gentleman from the West who recently dropped into the of the House of Representatives to see the sights. Beckoning to a neatly attired citizen of African descent who stood near him and who modestly answered his call, he said to him, “Jim, will you show me to the barber shop; I want to get shaved and have my boots black ed.” This was too much for “ Jim,” who whs none other than one of the honorable members from South Carol!- na—Mr. Elliott, “ ’Souse me, sah,” said Elliott, “X’so not a waitah; I’so a membah.” The gentleman from the West retired, deeply mortified. (lor.n is quoted at SI.ORJ Arc They All Scamps? ■la reading the Radical papers just now we are astonished to And what a lot of cut-throats, tricks tors, vagabonds, and whail not the Radical party Is composed of. Even the very best, most prominent and trusted men in that party, are denounced as such by their late chums and friends. Old Horace, too, it seems, is quite a rascal, if we may believe the Radical papers, although he has heretofore been looked upon as an honest and inoffensive gen tleman. We knew that the radical party was made up of bad material, but we had no idea that its leading men were half as bad ns the radicals are now charging them with being.— Mind, we don’t charge these criminali ties upon them, but their own papers do so. But, if Greeley, Sumner, Scurz, Adams, Trumbull, Billingfelt, McClure, Curtin Brown, Davis, Chase, and the rest are such “ scoundrels,” what must the others such as Evans, Hartranft, Allen, Grant, Morton, and their set be who have been proved by the record not to be of the angel kind. A little more rope for the radicals, and they will convict themselves all as criminals of the deepest dye. Still On Tlw.'War Path. Forney is out in another bitter as sault upon the personal rule of Simon Cameron in Pennsylvania. He tells 1 the truth about the manner in which all the details of the Republican State Convention were prepared by a small clique In one ol the upper rooms of a Harrisburg hotel; he Shows up the manner in which the decrees of this secret caucus were carried out in a packed and purchased Convention; he lays bare the plots and plans by which Cameron expects to obtain control of the next legislature, and to re-elect himself or to send one of his minions to the United States Senate. Forney refuses to be bound by the action of a ring which makes the Republican par ty in Pennsylvansa subservient to the will of one man, and gives fair warning that political disaster must inevitably follow sUeh a suicidal course of action.. Hcjs, Samuel J. Bandall has been appointed chairman of the democratic state central committee by the Hon. Hlester Clymer, late president of the Beading convention. This is done in accordance with' a resolution of the Beading convention authorizing the president of the convention to appoint a dhairman of the statecommittee after consultation with the candidates for go vernor, auditor general’ and congress men at large. Mr. Randall’s energy, industry and thorough knowledge of the political situation eminently quali fy him for duties of chairman. His appointment will give satisfaction to the democracy throughout the state. On the evening of the 4th instant up on the return of the Hon. C. E. Bucka lew from Beading, the citizens of Bloomsburg and the Friendship Fire Company, with a band of music, paid him a complimentary visit.; Upon his appearance, in response to the call, he was received with great cheering. He delivered a very eloquent and happy address, reviewing his political life, and thanking the people for their warm greeting. He was followed by Colonel Freeze and Captain Brockway on the prospects of the campaign. The responses to the Democratic State nominations are universally enthusias tic, so far as Democratic journals are con cerned, while the Republican Journals, almost without exception, admit its in vincibility. What would not the Repub licans give for the privilege of rescinding the action of their Harrisburg conven tion, if it could be done without still fur ther distracting the parly? Wra. H Buhsted, a millionaire com missioner of the board of public works in Jersey city, was sent to prison on last Saturday a week for twelve months, for a conspiracy to delraud the city of four teen thousand dollars- He is one of Gnu. Grant’s friends and helped to nominate him at the late convention in Philadel phia. Birds of a feather will flock to gether. The Lebighton News, hitherto an in dependent paper, now strongly endorses the nomiuation of the Reading ticket, and says that “Mr. Buokalew will re ceive the votes of all honest Republi cans, and will carry this State with one of the old-fashioned Democratic majori ties.” Day by day Buokalew grows stronger with the people. Those who are given to reflection have come to the conclusion that he is the man to whom the chief executive office bf the commonwealth should be entrusted, and these reflecting people are right. Has Gen. Grant appointed forty-two relatives to offices? Yea, say the re cords. And Judge Hoar of Massachu setts exclaims in Justification of this wholesale nepotism “ who wouldn’t?’’ We are not particularly good at guess ing conumdrums, but it is safe to say that no man is fit for the Presidency who would do it. Fob Gbeeley.— Within the last ten days the Democrats of the following States haye appointed Delegates to the Baltimore Convention, viz—Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia, South Carolina and lowa. All have been Instructed for Qreeiey and Brown, Push on the column 1 Nevee before were more self-sustain ing or telling allegations placed in print than these contained in - Sumner’s speech arraigning Grant. The replies of Logan, Carpenter and other admin istration Senators were of os little com parative weight as the fly upon the ele phant’s back. Gen. Gbant took with him to Long Branch, where he means to sojourn as usual during the hot season, [other Presidents used to remain in Washing ton to attend to the public business,] eleven horses and five dogs. The apologists of Grant Insist that Sumner’s speech was altogether too se vere. By this they mean It Is only too true. That’s what’s the matter with the speech. The Philadelphia Press exhibits the figures to prove that Hartranft will loose 14,400 Republican votes In twenty-seven of the slxty-slx counties of the Bt«te. THEY ABE SELF-OONDHMNED.I The Golden: Age, one of the ,ablest Republican papers published in New York—and old Abolition organ, of Which the well known lecturer and politician, Theodore Tilton, is editor— thus exposes the hypocrisy of the Grant Platform. Road Tilton’s indignant comments, one and all. [From the Golden Age.] SELF-CONDEMNED. The severest commentary that can be made on the falure of Grant’s hirst term of the presidency Is the platform on which he stands for re-election.— -Every important promise which that platform puts forth for the future is a confession of the Administration’s de reliction in the past. Each successive pledge made at Philadelphia turns state’s evidence to convict the very candidate in. whose behalf it was made Examine some of the point., I. Grant’s .platform demrnds a re form of civil service. Why, then, has hot his administration already given us this reform ? The President has been in power three and a half years— nearly one whole term. -During this period he has always had a working in both houses at his dally command. Indeed sometimes this majority has exhibited toward him the subserviency of lickspittles. They have been only too prompt to do his bidding. Hava they not made indecent haste to con firm his brothers-in-law, his nephews, his uncles, his wife’s relations, and all the host of his nepotistic appointments ? Were they not quick to catch his wink and obey his beck for the removal of Charles Sumner from the Chairman ship of the Committee on Foreigh Re lations? Did they not submissively bend their knees with the President’s in a common and ignominious surren der to England ? When has he failed of their votes for any purpose good or bad ? Never! Why then does his party go to Philadelphia and through the unanimous mouth of a packed con vention demand civil service reform ? Of whom do they demand it? Of themselves.’ What thoughtful citizen therefore can help asking, Why have they not already inaugurated civil ser vice reform ? What excuse can they give for having delayed it? How can they, ever apoligize for the crime of having thus far thwarted it? What will they say of their own orator, Gen. Butler for denouncing it ? Out of their own mouth are they adjudged guilty. They are self-condemned. XI. Grant’s platform demands the abol.tion of the franking privilege.— Why then have his partisans in Con gress systematically voted against the abolition of the franking prilege? Have the not had the fairest of oppor tunities to accomplish this reform ? If they had been in earnest to achieve this triumph they could have done it at any time within the last tmee years. To say now that the franking privilege ought to be abolished is simply to in dict tho Pctaidcnl and hifl IrieUUsTGr not having abolished it long ago.— Here again they are self-condemned. 111. Grant’s platform asserts states rights. Why then has he systematic violated states-rights? Why have we had for three years an unbroken series of intrusions’ by the Federal govern ment into local affairs ? Why, for in stance, has it been the practice of Mr. Thomas Murphy , and the New York Custom House to give laws to the Syr acuse Convention? Why has the Federal government aided and abetted the alien and carpet-bagging govern ments in the southern states, the like of which for rottenness have never been matched in our history save by the Tammany Ring? Why has the Ad ministration conveniently thrown out the voces of three or four, four or five, five or six counties in some of these states at its sovereign pleasure in order to keep its own partisans in power? State rights, forsooth 1 These have never been so flagrantly violated as by Grant and his party. To say now that these rights should be maintained is only to say that they have been well nigh destroyed.' And the party that thus pretends to maintain them is the very party that has been sedulously destroying. After three years pf this destruction the President and his par tisans have now she effrontery to de clare themselves in lavor of. whaPlhoy have annihilated. Such culprits are solPcondemned. IV. Grant’s platform asks for an en couragement to ship building. Why then has his Administration done nothing for American commence except to' cripple and repress it ? Why are American merchants doing.but thirty six per cent, of theij: carrying trade leaving the remaining sixty-four per cent, to fall as a precious prize to for eign flags? The Administration has had nearly four years in which to blot out this disgrace. Why is its pitiful record concerning our maratime pros pects reduced to a specious promise that, though the government has done nothbin to promote ship-building dur ing the last four years, it will try to remedy this neglect during the next term ? The Philadelphia statement of the decay of our commerce is the Ad ministration’s confession of- its own mlsgovernment. The President and his re-nominationists are witness-bear ers against their own delinquency.— They are self condemned. V. Grant’s platform demands that American citizens in foreigh lands shall be protected in their just rights. Why then has he, in an, unhappy number of signal and flagrant cases, suffered American citizens abroad to be outrag ed without protection, and mulcted without redress? A distinguished Union general exclaimed with great in dignation a few days ago, “ The safest act which any foreign government can now commit is to hang an American citizen.” He was partly right. Now It is not enough that the President should promise in a campaign docu ment thot American citizens travelling in other countries are hereafter to be protected; ho must also give answer why they have not heretofore been pro tasted. His platform-writers have here again innocently confessed themselves guilty. They are self-condemned, VI. Grant’s platform demands that sympathy should be extended to for eign nations struggling for liberty.— This la a bid for the Fenian and Cuban vote. But has the Administration up to this time ever shown any sympathy either with Fenians or Cubans? And if it is to show such sympathy In future will it not prove itself guilty for not havipg done so in the past V Its own declaration of duty in this respect is the plainest possible proof that this duty (if it be such) has been left undone.— The President and his party are once more self-condemned VII. Grant’s platform says that the public lands should not be squandered. Why then have his friends regularly and lavishly squandered them? Let any reflecting student of our country’s condition consult the records of the De partment of the interior, and scrutinize the enormous and astounding table of recent land-grants for railroad corpora tions ! The Union and Central Pacific have had 85,000,000 acres; the Sioux City and Pacific, 580,000; the Central Braden of Union Pacific, 245,000; the Northern Pacific, 48,000,000; the At lantic and Pacific, 2,330,000; the South- era Pacific in California, 8,020,000, ana the Texas Pacific, 18,000,000; making for the 'various Pacific Roads a total land-grant of 148,000,000 acres! Now, without stopging to discuss the right fulness or, wrougfulness, of granting government lands to railoads, what shall be said of the monstrous solf-stul tification of a- political party that de clares against such land-grants, having itself been guilty of making them to the colossal sum total of 150,000,000 acres I We repeat, the President and tils convention are sell-condemnod. VIII. Grant’s platform puts forth u platitude concerning the proper suprem acy of the olvll over the military power. Why then has the President so persist ly and defiantly elevated the mlllthry over the civil? Why did he make an unauthorized and illegal use of the uavy in a warlike sot against Hayll? Why baa he In direct defiance of a civil statute surrounded himself with military instead of civil secretaries ? Why, in equal vio lation of law, is his son an army officer, now absent from duty in a foreigh land, pursuing a pleasure excursion from which such a lieutenant—oven though u Presi dent’s son—ls forbidden by the very reg ulations of the service ? Why did the President’s brother-in-law, a Custom house officer in New Orleans, employ a Federal vessel and bayonets, with mili tary menace and threat of blood-shed, to overawe the civil functionaries of a state government? Why did the patriot ic gov ernor of Illinois find it necessary to repel and resist the Federal encroach dient of a military President who sent troops into that State for purposes at war with its olvll and local law? Why was an attempt lately made in Congress, and partially successful, to give the President power to suspend the habeas corpus, to clutch the State machinery of the elective fran chise, and to re-elect himself by the help of martial law. If Grant and his body guard at Philadelphia profess that the civil power should be supreme over the military, then by their acts they believe their words. He and his brigade are self-condemned. Now let the preceding citations be well-pondered. They constitute a series of indictments which make Gen, Grant’s platform more against his own adminis tration. They are the voluntary and un answerable confession of the failure of that administration, even allowing its best friends to be the judge in its own case. It is the spectacle of a President put under condemnation by his own par ty—nay more, of a President and his par ty making a joint and unanimous testi mony against themselves. They are self-condemned. Nothing remains, there fore, but that they should be condemned by the people. CHIEF JUSTICE THOMPSON. Of the. contrast between the Grant can* didate for Governor of Pennsylvania and the candidate placed in nomination by the convention of Beading, we have al ready spoken. What-is to be said of Gen. Hartranft needs no other description than one of Gen. Grant’s own most ar dent supporters, Col. Forney has given in the Press, What is to be said of Mr. Buokaiew we have said ourselves in terms, which we are happy to find meet ing the approval of most of the newspa pers Representing both. bis own party and the independent reformers of the State. The accord of the friends of Re union and Reform is doing Us own work rapidly. It. is of another part of the Pennsylvania Democratic action we de sire to say a single word to-day.' The people of that Commonwealth at the coming election have, by their votes, to fill a post far more important than that of a three years' Governor. They have to choose a Judge of ,tbo Supreme Court' for fifteen years, and the same wise fore cast, tlie same really conservative feel ing which was shown in the choice for Governor, is manifested in that of Judge. The candidate is the present Chief Jus tice, who, elected in 1857, is now draw ing near the end nf bis term. No one familiar with the political and judicial history, of our sister State, need be told who James Thompson is. As far back as 1834, when it was an honor to be a member of the Legislature, Mr. Thompt son, amid a host of brilliant colleagues, was speaker of the Lower House. In the Spring of the following-year he was cho sen by the Governor—j udiclal appoint ments being then in his gift—President of a District Court, where he remained until 1814, when he was elected to Con gress. He was then the colleague and the esteemed colleague of such men as John Quincy Adams, Gov, McDowell, Cobb, Wintbrop, Douglas, and the In gersols. Mr. Lincoln served with him, and they were friends. He was chair man of the Judiciary Committee, and in 1854 retired from Congress, declining a renomlnatlon. In 1857, Judge Thomp son was, by popular election, placed up on the Supreme Court bench, and bis career there is a very bright part of the judicial history of bis native State.. It is the proper compliment to the nomina tion of Mr. Buokaiew to choose such a man to stand by his side. A character beyond reproach—a political record, so far as a Judge can have one, which no loyal man cun question—no affiliation to the men or sols of men who have done and are doing so much to soil the fair fame of Pennsylvania—intellect in its prime—ail these, and the unbounded confidence of those who know him best, make him. the fit companion of the statesman who, if all signs do not fail, and the grand experiment of political co-operation and reconciliation succeeds, will rescue the Great Commonwealth from the spoilers—State and Federal. — New York Tribune, Stanton on Grant.—One of the moat damaging indictments of Grant brought by Sumner, is the dying testimony of Secretary Stanton. The administration Senators, apprecia ting its force, met it by bold denials, their only hope being to damage Sumner’s veracity. ■ But they have made little progress.— The other day, after Chandler had con cluded his defence of Grant under pre tense of vindicating the memory of Stanton, Sumner rose and read the fol lowing note from Horace White, of the Chicago Tribune, the great Republican paper of the West : Dear Mr. Sumner : The late Secre tary Stanton "not once merely but sever al times expressed to me substantially the same opinion of General Grant that be did to you, with the addition that General Grant' had had been greatly overrated as a military commander.” As to the latter point I recall a long conver sation. with him after the lighting at Bpottsylvaula Court house, in which he (Stanton) expressed more apprehension of the result of the campaign than X had ever known him to feel concerning any campaign. He felt that he could not continue to fill up the awful gaps made by Lee In our ranks without a further call on the States for more troops ; but I suppose you know all about that. Dur ing a portion of our conversation be kept Mr. Chandler cooling bis heels in the ante room, in order to finish what be had to say to me, a mere Bohemian, although 1 twice suggested that it would be indec orous for me to remain while a Senator desired an audieucei The Grant Senators were not prepared for this bomb-shell, and Its effect upon them was moat demoralizing, 'tfhey loft the field precipitately. How Grant Received His Nomi nation.—A Washington correspond ent says: The President takes his new honors with great coolness and indifference and spent the afternoon out driving with Mrs. Grant in his new and very high carriage which has but two seats the front one having his two colored coachmen upon it. . They dress in white flannel suits with capes, huge 'slivered buttons and high- hats. Mrs. Grant wore a bright blue silk dress.— The coach with its running gear paint ed bright yellow and striped with gold, created quite a sensation. A right royal turn-put that for tho President of a Republican government. The Oil City Evening Register here tofore independent, has come out for Buckalow, and favors tho endorsement of Greeley and Hrown at Baltimore. THE REPUBLICAN REVOLT, Since the time when Forney’s Plilla 'dolphin Frees openly refused to support the Cameron Corruption ticket, a num ber of administration journals In this State have constantly and bitterly as sailed l{fr. Forney and bis paper. Of tate, however, a number of honest and fearless Republican newspapers have either directly revolted against the Cam eron ticket, or spoken out firmly in de fense of Mr. Forney and the Press— Among them are the Doyleston Intelli gencer, Delaware Republican, Scranton Republican, Honesdale Citizen, Ddwn ingtown Journal, Coatesvllle Union, Me ebanicsburg Journal, Huntingdon Olobc< Lancaster Express, Lancaster Inquirer> Lancaster Enterprise,' Butler Eagle t Meadvllle Journal, New Castle Journal, Beavpr Argus, and other influential Re publican Journals, and their action has caused considerable alarm in the Came ron camp. The latest journalist defec- on in the Radical ranks, is that of the Lancaster Volkqfreund, the leading Ger man Republican newspaper of Lancaster county, which exerts considerable influ ence throughout the State. The Volks freund of last week, under the heading “The State Ticket," uses the following language: “ It is-well known that there exists in Pennsylvania an increasing dissatisfac tion with the nominations of the Repub lican State Convention for Governor and Auditor General. “ The cause of this dissatisfaction is or iginally to be found in the shadow of wrong doing that overhangs the public life of the two nominees—Hartranft, es pecially, by his being mixed up with the Evans swindle, and Allen by his vote In favor of robbing nine millions.of State bonds. “ Viewed in the most favorable light, these gentlemen are politically dead, and the Republican partjsmust get rid of their corpses. The Republicans of this coun try demand almost unanimously the with drawal of these men, and the nomination of new candidates.®. How the Bads Like the Rees.— Judge Settle, of North Carolina, who recently presided 1 over Mr. Grant’s Convention in Philadelphia, had been an active Democrat, was a Buchanan elector, and at the breaking out of the war was a savage secessionist, so full of it, in fact, that he organized a company and entered the Southern army as a captain, continuing in it a couple of years. But the spirit that has since led him into the Grant army of public plunderers began to work, and he re signed the captaincy to come home and look after No. 1 by taking the office of prosecuting attorney, which office he continued in nntU.the.en4.Df. the war. When the government pap was about being distributed he became a full fledged Radical, ■ Otm NeW Government.—A Wash ington dispatch says: “ The President has designated So licitor W. H. Smith to act as Secretary of the Interior during the absence of Secretary Delano,, and Assistant Secre taries Cowan and Hartley to, act as Secretary of the Treasury during tho absence of Secretary Boutwell and As sistant Secretary Richardson-” In the meantime Grant and his cabi net officers will draw their salaries and loaf at watering places, while the peo ple pay their deputies for doing their work at Washington. It is high time for a change in the manner of conduct ing our National government. Whittemopb, the South Carolina Congressman who was convicted of selling, a cadetship, was .on© of the dele gates to the Convention which .renomi nated Grant. Whittemore also pleaded the statute of limitations to escape be ing convicted of perjury. Very Radi cal politics is calculated to make people acquainted with strange bed fellows. ' The example of Grant is visible in all the departments of Government.— Most of the secretaries and heads of bureaus ate on their travels, and Grant has been obliged to confer on the assis tant secretaries the authority to conduct the affairs in the departments of their respective chiefs. Gen- Hooker said to the represen tative of the San Francisco Chronicle concerning the Aminidab Sleek of the army, Gen. O. Q. Howard, that he was responsible for the failure at Chansel- Torsvllle; that he was Incompetent and disobedient; that he was sent on his Arizona expedition to avoid a Freed man’s Bureau Investigation, And he said of Grant that “he has no more moral sense than a dog.” Harvard Coleeqb has conferred the degree of LL. D. upon President Grant.— Exchbnge. What a beauty to have such a degree conferred upon him! It would have been more appropriate had he received the degree of A. D. S., which means Addition, Division and Silence! In Illinois seventeen Republican pa pers have come out squarely for Gree ley and Brown. Six German papers have declared for them; nine others are opposed to Grant, and two are for him. How many of the Radical newspa pers and politicians who clamorously deman d that the Democrats shall nominate a straight out ticket at Balti more, will agree to support it if we do? A correspondent of the Lancaster Inquirer, (Republican) says there is strong talk of organizing an Independ ent Republican Buckalew Club in Mar tin township, Lancaster county. Washington, June 20 Decapitating Postmasters.—A list ojpostmaaters in Pennsylvania, wbo are opposing Hartranft for Governor, has been sent ou by Senator Cameron for decapitation.

POLITICAL JOTTINGS. —Why is Grant like the planet Sa turn ? Because he is surrounded by rings. —A great many people “ want to know—you know” why Jeremiah Col bath of Massachusetts changed l)is name to Henry Wilson. Can not some body tell us; or if they don’t know certainly, they might guess. ' —The Pennsylvania Republican As sociation of Washington, composodien tlrely of Grant’s office-holders in that' citJV held a meeting a few nights ago and passed resolutions in favor of the due bill candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, —lt costs $240,000 to run the XT. S. Court in Arkansas for oue year, which is rather more than the expenses of all the XJ. S. Courts in the Hew York! What splendid election fund the Radi cals must have out there. We have a further “ drift of public opinion” this week; the Democratic State Conventions of both Maine and Texas, the two extremes of the Union on the Atlantic coast, declaring for Horace Gfceley. Henry Wilson, the nominee of,the Grant office-holders’ party, is the same Henry Wilson that originated the Know Nothing party in Now England, and was its chief and head-centre. —A United States Senator to be chosen by the next Legislature. It is General Cameron’s term that expires. The Democrats should be unusually careful in nominating popular candi dates for the Legislature. —A Republican paper says: “ As far as principles are represented by men, John P. Hartranft'is the rep resentative of the principles of the Re publican party in this State and every true Republican will vote for him!” Did he represent the principles of the Republican party when he concealed the Evans defalcation and “ borrowed’, those seven thousand dollars from the chief conspirator ? We cannot believe that he represented the decent portion of that party. The police of Philadelphia prohibited the sale of Charles Sumner’s great speech against Grant in phamphlet form about the streets last week. Do these uniformed ninnies suppose that they can prevent the spread ot truth? They might as well try to dam,up the Delaware with .thoii* -UR oiotHo.— Grant’s fortunes ate desperate, we ad mit, but these tactics of the police will not mend matters. —A beautiful illustration of our President’s idea of civil service reform is afforded by ,a single incident. An unprincipled adventurer named Clarke succeeded in getting possession of a seat in Congress, and in holding it until the close of the session, when he was ousted out ln disgrace. Thereupon President Grant appoints him postmaster at Gal veston, Texas, dismissing a faithful officer to make place for his favorite.— And yet Mr. George William Curtis believes that President Grant believes in civil service reform ! Such faith in the face'of such works passes our come prehension. EOMANTIO DEVOTION. A Young "Woman Crosses tie Atlantic Alone to Marry a Man She Has Never Seen. The Girard Press contains the notice of a marriage in that place which should be immortalized with a Miltonic epithalamium. Mr. Henry E. Perkins, of Girard, and Miss Annie Harper, of England, were married by the probate judge of Crawford county on Sunday, the 11th uit. “ We wish our friend Perkins and his bride,” says the Girard editqr in unrelieved humdrum, “ a life of pleasure and happiness.” The terms are not strong enough. He should have indulged in enthusiasm for once,, and have allowed his pen to kindle with the tender theme. The bride is 19 years old. She crossed the broad ocean and the intervening stretch of land at the call of love without a friend to pro trot her. She and, her plighted lover had never met. Years ago Mr, Per kins was in the foreign claim business in Vermont, and some business trans action with the young lady’s family led to a correspondence between the pair. Prom the frigidity of mere busi ness their epistolary intercourse warm ed into friendsliip,'and finally melted into true love. Three years ago they exchanged vows of eternal fidelity, and the wedding-day was looked forward to as the fruition of their hopes. The ardent lover then removed to Kansas, and was looking to put his business af fairs into such such shape as would ad mit of his going to London to carry away his bride. But a very severe ill ness befell him, and in his extremity he wrote for the lady to perform the journey herself. Her presence would be healing to him. Trustful, constant, undaunted, she left friends and home, and arrived at her destination to find her lover restored to health and impa tient to fold her to his arms, In rela - ting these thrilling love passages should not the Press editor have warmed with the occasion, and in his benediction have drawn some little from the vo cabulary of hyperbole.— Leavenworth ' Commercial, Eiibertiaemcnts. ■JL JL £.■ JfcrC..
