Tim Express has sweet names for sweet things, and intimate that the editorials of the Inquirer, Examiner and Intelligeneer are "malicious lies," and their editors "malicious liars." This somewhat sets at naught that old saying of " There's nothing in a name." _ Claims and No Claims The Express of Saturday, July 16, says that it "recognizes no such thing as the claims' of any man to a seat in the Legislature."

S. WATKI:.:S. The Niagara Bridge We observe that the contract for the construction of the great international iron bridge over the Niagara river at Buf falo has been awarded to the Phcenix. Iron Company of Phoenixville, in this' State. No more significant acknowledgment of the superior facilities as well as of the business' ability of our manufacturers could well be given. Chicago will doubt less unbend _herself sufficiently to notice the fact. We shall not be at all surprised to see in some western paper that a Chica go firm are about to commence the under taking. Itig - ht at our door this stupend ous contract has been awarded, and yet there are some " ignoramuses" who would ruin this our greatest interest by opposing protection.—Yorristown Herald. SIXCERELY admiring as we do the wise statesmanship and sterling honesty of Senator Billingfelt, we cannot credit the charge against him of shirking the res ponsibility of a vote on the tariff resolu tions adopted by the County Committee at their late meeting. Of all questions in Pennsylvania politics this is the most im portant and absorbing, and we do not be lieve that Mr. Billingfelt, always so vigi lantin serving us, could ever have berm guilty of such violation of duty. It is imperative that the people should know just where their representatives stand on this question, and though Mr. B. has not openly declared against free trade, the in ference is that his position is a decided one. It is important at all times to have representation right, because in the event of a vacancy of either United States Sen atorsliips, a contingency which may arise at any time, the next, or any subsequent legislature will be called upon to fill the vacancy by election. By combination with a few weak-minded republicans, or even such as are afraid to give open expression to their sentiments, the democracy could elect the Senator, and secure bne great and disastrous step in the establishment of British Free Trade and the destruction of American Industry. ME indignation at the action of the County Committee in requiring candi dates for the Legislature to subscribe to a promise to attend all caucuses for the nomination of State Treasurer and other officers, and abide by their action, under penalty of refusal to print their names on the tickets furnished by the Committee, is general and strong. In a free country like this, where every man must rise or fall by his own merits or demerits, such a proposition is simply absurd. We pre sume there are enough independent can didates in the county to pay for their own printing,and we hope they will do it before stooping to such servility. By hedging in a representative by such pledges as these, you offer a- premium for dishonesty and party corruption. If a member, in order to get his name on a ticket, must pledge his honor and sense of right to support any party measure, even the most vile, the time for genuine reform has come. Destroy a man's independence in advance, and he becomes the tool of a set of unscru pulous men-base, designing politicians. He can not even make an effort to save his party from the ruin, which certainly would follow such absolute subjection. If the County Committee intended this ac tion to be their part in the final destruc tion and disintegration of the Republican party, they have played their game admir ably. If this provision be enforced, such independent candidates as Messrs. Rei nrehl, Fraley, Engle, and, no doubt, others must either decline further efforts -in their behalf, or combine to furnish their own tickets. That Cardinal Principle The Express rebelled at the assertion of the Columbia Republicans, some time ago, that Protection to American Indus try was a cardinal principle of the Repub lican party. The following resolution in the platform of the party adopted at the convention in 18.67 asserts this" cardinal principle." "RESOLVED, That protection being a cardinal principle of the Republican creed, we trust that such legislation will be se cured at the earliest period as will afford adequate protection to American indus try." Again, as the Inquirer aptly says, the editor of the Express,by copying - the follow ing comments on this resolution from the North American into his own columns and - thereby 'virtually' accepting there as his own sentiments, is condemned- " out of his own mouth." It will be found in the Daily Fapress of June 29th, 1867: "In reference to the protection of American Industry no man ought to be able to mistake the record of the two par ties. The whole history of Democratic ascendency and Democratic legislation in Congress is identified with free trade and foreign interests, while Republican legis lation has given our manufacturers such protection as they never had before." Again the State Convention of 1869 passed the following: "Resolved, That we reiterate and affirm our adherence to the doctrine of protec tion, as proclaimed in the ninth resolution of the platform of the State Convention of March 14, 1886." Free Trade organs may seek to justify their advocacy of free trade on the grounds of their convictions of wrong then, and right now or because they allow both sides to be heard. This is a faint plea, and will not satisfy the minds of an in dig,nant people and jUst.at this time too when all England, except a few importers and jobberS, are coming back to the true idea of political economy—protection. The literature of the subject is becoming quite voluminous, and the discussion of the theme is conducted with great spirit and ability. Sir Edward Sullivan, Baro net, an English producer has recently published a book entitled "Protection to Native Industry" in which he states that England.urider the rule of free trade, is rapidly approaching absolute ruin, and that upon the expiration of the reciprocity treaty with France, England will of ne cessity return to protection of her own Industries. War Topics France will find a very different. adver sary in Prussia than she found in her last great war, (1859) when she crossed swords with Austria. Prussia will find a very different adver sary in France than she found in her last great war, (1866) when she crossed swords with Austria. People have been saying for years past that Napoleon wouldn't dare to risk the chances of his throne and dynasty by en tering upon a war. Suddenly he turns up as the most implacable belligerent in Eu rope. It was said in 1859 that the French army was victorious over the Austrians because the French had rifled cannon. It was said in 1866 that the Prussian army was victo rious over the AustrianS because the Prus sinus were armed with needle-guns. It is now understood that the artillery and rifles of the French army and those of the Prussian army axe about equally destruct ive; and there seems but little advantage on either side as regards arms. Our German-American fellow-citizens who may now be sojourning in Prussia have occasion to rejoice at the establish ment of the treaty which was recently ne gotiated between the American and Prus sian Governments in regard to the rights of Germans naturalized in this country. But for the negotiation of this treaty, all Prusso-Americans found in Prussia at this time would have been liable for ser vice in the Prussian army. Now, no German naturalized as an kmerican can be compelled to enter the army of any of the States of North or South Germany. German Americans have precisely the same rights, franchises and privileges in Germany as native-born Americans. The treaty was negotiated at a most opportune time; and it will save our Government from a great deal of trouble. The smaller States contiguous to Prus sia will be cautious about taking part against her in the present war. Prussia made short work with the smaller States which took part against her in the war of 1966. She " absorbed " them regardless of their feelings. Before the appearance of the war cloud in Europe our Five-Twenty Bonds were quoted in London at a fraction over 90. The fall of price was but slight and grad ual, and shortly after noon of the 11th they were a fraction above 86. From this they recovered two per cent., on the pros pect of a settlement of the Franco-Prus sian difficulty; but again they gave way on Saturday.last, when they were quoted between 85 and 86. These fluctuations are slight, compared with what the gold bulls and bond bears of this market ex pected in the event of the outbreak of a European war. The adoption of the dogma of Infal libility by the (Ecumenical Council was almost simultaneous with the adoption of a belligerent attitude by France and Prus sia. If his Holiness were infalliable in regard to political as well as ecclesiasti cal matters, he might settle the present troubles by his fiat. Would it be a good thing if there were a political Pope in Eu rope? There will be no privateering in a war between France and Prussia. It is for biddenby the "Paris Declaration" of 1856, which was signed by the Plenipotentiaries of England, France, Prussia, Austria, Russia, Sardinia, and Turkey. The exact language of the four points then agreed upon is as follows: 1. Privateering is, and remains, abol ished. 2. The neutral flag covers enemy's goods, with the exception of contraband of war. 3. Neutral goods, with the exception of contraband of war,are not liable to . capttire under enemy's flag. 4. Blockades, in order to be binding, must be effective; that is to say, main tained by a force sufficient really to pre vent access to the coast of the enemy. The American Government, it will be remembered, declined to become a party to the above declaration. We are told that one of the reasons why the French Emperor desires war is that it would consolidate all parties in France in favor of his government. At the same time we are told that Bismarck looks fa vorably on war as a means of consolidat ing the strength of the North German Confederation, and especially of welding to Prussia the States which were forcibly annexed after the war of 1566. It is quite possible that such ideas float through the minds of Napoleon and Bismarck. Nearly two millions of Germans have emigrated to America during the last twenty years, more than three-fourths of whom have landed at the part of Now York. If these emigrants had been re tained at home, Germany would have had. a qnarter of a million more fighting men than she now has. In a hundred speeches, more or less,the French Emperor has cried Peace to Prus sia and to Europe during the last four years. While thus crying Peace, he has been directing all the energies of France toward preparation for war. It is apprehended by shippers here that, as France is so greatly superior to Prussia in naval force, Napoleon will stretch his authority as far as possible in regard to the second and third articles of the "Paris Declaration," which provides that the " neutral flag covers enemy's goods, with the exception of contraband of war, and that neutral goods not contraband are not liable to capture under an enemy's flag." It is believed that the French Government wi]l.try to render these provisions of lit tle effect by including everything possible under the term contraband; and there are apprehensions of trouble on this account, We entirely agree with "Frenchman;" who writes that Napoleon can get along very well without " American symathy," which, if it were given, would neither en large his army, effect its movements, or secure victories for it. We do not go so far as "Frenchman" in thinking that American sympathy for one side or the other could not be of value to either side, under any circumstances. In a war be tween any two countries, there are often situations and complications in which the sympathy of a third party may be of consequence to the belligerents, not only in its indirect influence, but in the actual shaping of events. There is no doubt that the Popes tem poral power is imperilled by the present war as it never has been at any previous time. If the French Emperor be compelled to withdraw his army from - Rome, it is very certain that the Italian and Roman revo lutionists will attempt the overthrow of the Pope. They are well organized, and have been waiting for many years for the chance, which they expected to seize as soon as France got into war. If they are successful in bringing about revolution, there will be an excellent opportunity for Victor Emanuel to march troops into Rome for the purpose of preserving order; and when once the Italian army is encamp ed in Rome, Mvillneverleaveexceptunder the pressure of war from France—which France may not be able or inclined to of fer after the conclusion of hostilities with Prussia. Ten years ago, if the French had found it necessrary to evacuate Rome, the Austrians, the Spaniards, and the Ba varians, were ready to take their place in maintaining the Pope's temporal suprem- From dm Triton acy; but now of the,se Powers could now go to the relief or support of Ilis 'loll ness. When Louis .Napoleon proclaimed him self Emperor, he announced, in pompous phrase, " The Empire is peace." Yet, during his short reign, he has plunged the French Empire into three great wars with three of the great continental Powers— Russia, Austria, and Prussia. If,. before he disappears from the stage, he should get up a war with England, he will have proved the " Empire " to be "peace " by fighting all the great Powers ;Df F F urope. Besides his European wars, he has had his Mexican war, his war in China, his war in Cochin China, and his fighting in Algeria. Beside his foreign wars, he has used his army in such a way against France itself as to be a constant menace of civil war. Beside his important wars, he has bad frequent squabbles in Rome. Beside his actual wars, he came very near getting into war with this country five years ago, and he lately threatened Spain with war. While thus demonstrating the Empire to be "peace," after the Napoleo nic fashion, he has raised up, amid the traditions of war, an imperial son who, if he ever mounts the throne, will doubtless carry on the business of proving the Em pire to be peace by fighting all round the circle in the style of his father and his father's uncle. Such is Napoleonism. We have by cable from Paris the plan of campaign for the French army. It is really very fine. The army, will firAt en ter 'nesse and then occupy the City of Frankfort, from which it will sweep all the Prussian territory left of the Rhine. It will next march throughrrussia,which it will first proceed to confiner, lind sub sequently will reconstruct. Tills is al most as admirable as the plans of cam paigns which used to be got up in this country by some of our newspapers strat egists in the first year of the war against the Southern Confederacy. " First, let us march one gigantic army through the Southern States from Richmond, and an other immense army from Cairo down the Mississippi Valley; let both armies meet at New Orleans, hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree, raise the American flag in tri umph all around, and wind up with a grand barbecue." The trouble with these remarkable American strategists was that they did not take.the Southern Rebel force into account; and thetrouble of the French strategist of the Liberte is that he does not take the Prussian army into account. We assure him that as long as he leaves it out of the calculation we cannot have proper respect for his plan of campaign. MB editor of the Grillin(Ga.)Star re joices.in the prospect..of-a war in..l4nrope fos three reasons, the first of which is, that breadstuff's will be in such great de mand that the South will be compelled to raise them. The second reason given is, that war " will knock greenbacks into a cocked hat, and will be a death-blow to the bonded aristocracy, which now lords it over the country." The third reason, and apparently the weightiest of all to the mind of the editor of the Star, we give in his exact words italics and all: Then, again, there is another and a much greater hope looming up in the dis tance, and that is Southern independence! For be it known we (our individual self) have never yet given up this idea! We still insist that the North and South can not permanently and peaceably live together in the same-household! While this is true, it is equally true—having been demon strated—that we can not, unaided, achieve our own independence. Shor Europe, however, engage in miive war, Europeani possessions in Ame must become involved; and through' these complications the United States mustkln evitably be drawn into the comt4st. - Ti#ol it Will be seen and known that the South will join fortunes with any European power that will guarantee us freed {m from the thraldom of the North. We can not be positive, but, we will venture the guess, that the writer of the above never rendered the defunct " Con federacy" much valuable service. We suspect that he was attached to the " home guard" during the rebellion, or at least, if he really belonged to the army in the field, that he was so far in the rear that he never heard the report of a Union gun. Of the number of those "whose voice is still for war" in the South, nine out of ten were worthless to the " Confed eracy" as soldiers during the rebellion. Editorial- Slavery. Every editor of a newspaper will appre ciate the truth of , "the following passage from some of the writings of Captain llarryatt: " It is not the writing of the leacling,ar ticle itself, but the obligation. to. luite that article every day (or week), whether inclined or not, in sickness or health, in affliction, disease of the mind, winter and summer, year after year, tied down to the task, remaining in one spot. It is some thing like the walking of a thousand hours. I have a fellow feeling, for I know how a periodical will cut down one's exis tence. In itself it appears nothing; the labor is not manifest; nor is it the labor, but it is the attention which it requires. Your life becomes, as it were,the publica tion. One day's (or week's) paper is no sooner corrected and printed, than on comes another. It is the stone Sisyphus' an endless repetition of toil, constant weight upon the intellect and spiriti, de =Jading all the exertion of your faculties, at the same time that you are compelled to do the severest kind of drudgery. To write for a newspaper is very well, but to edit one is to condemn yourself to slav ery." All of which is as true : as preach ing. - Personal -Explartation:- In the U. S. Senate lait Saturday, Mr. Cameron made a personal explanation in answer to the charge made in certain qua ters, that he had purposely absented him self a few evenings before, when the in come tax question was voted upon. He desired the reporters to take notice of his statement, so that the public might not be further deceived by the misrepresentations of his enemies. On the occasion referred to, being much fatigued by a session which had then lasted twelve hours, lie had left the Senate, not expecting that a vote would be reached, but had taken the pre caution to pair off on the .question with Mr. Sprague. His own vote, therefore, could not have altered the result, as Mr. Sprague would have voted•in favor of the tax. THE third party movement in Alle gheny county seems to have resulted in a most signal failure. According to the Sunday Ledger whichhas been an:advocate of the movement, less than three hundred votes were polled in the whole county at the primary meetings. In only seventeen districts meetings were held and th 9 form of electing delegates gone through with. The convention which placed in nomina tion a bolter's ticket was self-co'nstituted, and the whole affair. is a complete fizzle. It is reported that the coal beds in Illi nois, which are supposed to be almost in exhaustible, are about to be fully develop:- ed. If the development shouldbe such as it has been in our State it will not be long ere Illinois becomes as strongly in favor of Protection as Pennsylvania. Another Coal State. LIEUT. G. STIERIDAK, accompanied by Col. 0. Devred, of Gem Sherman's staff, will leave for Europe in a few days, tp observe the manner in which the French and Prussian Governments conduct a war, Right The Republicans of Lancaster have denounced the Express of that city, which professes to be Republican, and advocates Free Trade, as unworthy of their confi dence. The editor must either be pur chased, or is a fool, and in either case it is unworthy the support of the friends of la bor and domestic industry. The only way to stop many evils is to denounce subsi dized presses and naked demagogues wherever they are to be found, at home or in the halls of legislation. Let the honest people of all parties put their heels on such persons regardless of party predilec tions, and the people will be astonished how soon the number will diminish. Try it—it will prove an infallible remedy.— _Miners' Journal. Tho Commander of the French Army. Marshal McMahon, who is to com mand the armies of France, was born at Sully in July, 1308. Ile derives his de scent from an Irish family, who risked and lost all for the last of the Stuart Kings, The .McMahons, carrying their national traditions, ancestral pride and historical name to France, mingled their blood by marriage with the old nobility of their adopted country. This member of the family entered the military service of France in 1825, at the school of St. Cyr; was sent to the Algerian wars in 1830: while acting as aide- de-camp to General -.A.chard, took part in the expedition to Antwerp in 1532; attained to the rank of captain in 1833; and, after holding the post of aid-de-camp to several African generals, and taking part in the assault of Constantine, was nominated Major of Foot Chasseurs in 1540, Lt. Colonel of the Foreign Legion in 1845, Colonel of the Forty-first of the line in 1855; and Gen eral of Brigade in 1848. When, in 1854, General Canrobert left the Crimea, Gen eral :McMahon, then in France, was se lected by the Emperor to succeed him in the command of a division; and when the chiefs of the allied armies resolved on as saulting Sebastapol, Sept. 8. they assigned to Gen. McMahon the perilous post of carrying the works of the Malakoff. For his brilliant success on this occasion he was made Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor; and in 1853 was nominated a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath. Gener al McMahon, who took a conspicuous part in the Italian campaign of 1850, received the baton of a Marshal, and was created Duke of Magenta in commeineration of that victory. He represented France at the coronation of William 111 of Prussia, in November, in 1861, was nominated to the command of the Third corps d'army October 14, 1882, and was nominated Gov ernor General of Algeria by decree, Sep tember 1, 1864. Indignation Meeting It appears that many of the appoint ments of Gen. Gregory in some of the mi nority counties are extremely unpopular. In parts of Berks and Schuylkill counties, copperheads of the vilest kind were ap pointed, whether by mistake or otherwise we have no means of knowing. In Mont gomery Co. there was also much dissatis faction. In one case (the appointment of C. L. Jenkins) this dissatisfaction took the form of au indignation meeting, and two townships assembled in dignified con vention, and passed the following pream ble and resolutions. They show consider able spirit, even if they fail of their object: WltEunis, C. L. Jenkins, of Hatfield township, has been appointed Census Enumerator for the district composed of Whitpain and Gwynedd townships, of which district he is not a resident, and, WHEREAS, we have good and true men, residents of said district, who are in every way competent to perform the duties of said office, therefore, Resolved, That we receive the appoint ment of C. L. Jenkins as Census Enumer ator for the district, as a gross insult. Resolved, That we protest against said appointment and request Chief Marshal Gen. Gregory to appoint a citizen oT the district. Resolved, That we call upon C. L. Jenk ins to resign. Resolved,That a copy of these resolu tions be sent to Mafshal Gregory and C. L. Jenkins. Resolved, That these proceedings be published. Attest, L. Styer, See'ry. Wm. Mon- ENEIL, Pres. THERE is some comfort in Laving ene mies honest enough to say what they mean. The Cincinnati -Enquirer, protesting against the Funding bill, said: "If this measure passes, there will only be one resource, that of. the entire repudiation of the debt, principal and interest" The Enquirer is one of the leading organs of what the Tammany Society designates as "the only party that knows how to govern the Country;" and it came very near making the last Democratic candi date for the Presidency. "The entire re pudiation of the debt, principal and inter est,"—that is plain enough, at least. We shall be very glad to go before the Coun try on it this Fall.—Tribune. Watc:aing the Papers Every class of our community, but es pecially the farmers and the merchants, are intensely interested in the develop ment of the European controversy. The reason is sufficiently plain. If a general war should be inaugurated between Prance and Austria on one side and Prus sia on the other, with nearly three mil lions of soldiers in the field, - the effect upon business in this country would be immense. The demand for bieadstuffs for shipment would be largely increased, and every department of business would feel the spur of the momentous event. Whether there will be a long war in Eu rope is therefore the question of the hour. THE " Coming Woman" has arrived— God bless her—and she doesn't belong to Columbia, either. At the recent com mencement exercises of the Wesleyan Fe male College, at Deleware, as we learn from the Marysville Tribune, Miss Estelle U. Woods, daughter of Judge Woods, of Marysville, appeared upon the platform, " delivered her essay and received her graduating diploma, dressed in a neat twelve-and-half cent calico dress." Now, if it was the young woman and not the di ploma, which was " dressed in a neat twelve-and-a-half cent calico dress," we greet her as a sensible person, and as "the Coming Woman" whose arrival has been looked for with so much anxiety. Lil` r wnY, the Republico-copperhead, can not coteut himself with staying out of of fice, and an effort in his behalf was made to secure a Presidential appointment. The President had learned something about his record and had come to the con clusion that he was not a Republican at all, and that lie had no place for him. WE invite the attention of our readers, and especially large dealers, storekeepers, and farmers, to the well known house of Allen &, Needles, wholesale and retail dealers in Super-Phosphate of Lime and Ammoniated Fertilizer, No. 42 South Delaware Avenue, Philadelphia. A CONVENTION of delegates from the several counties of the State favorable to the movement to secure minority repre sentrtion will be held at Reading on the 81st of August. CAPT. P.. 8. FORNEY, son 'of Hon. J. V. Forney, died in New Orleans on Thursday last from injuries received by a railroad accident. Capt. Forney was in the regular army during the war, was widely known and very popular. CRINA, with a generosity which does infinite credit to its civilization, has ap propriated six thousand dollars for Mr. Burlingame's funeral expenses and fifteen thousand dollars for the benefit of his widow. MR. BEECH= having satirized Gen. McClellan in his speech at Woodstock, Conn., on the 4th, of course there was but one thing for the Democrat press to do, and that was to assert that Mr. Beecher was drunk. They have promptly done so. M. PnEvosT-PABA.Dor"the new French Minister, committed sucide at Washing tonon Tuesday morning about one o'clock. He shot himself through the heart. The oppressive heat and the business of his post growing out of the Franco- Prussian troubles are the alleged cau ses. Something New The democracy of Montgomery county, a minority county, will be called upon next month to consider certain new rules to be applied for the government of the party. These rules provide FIRST, " That the apportionment of Delegates to Democratic conventions of the county shall be made tri-annually by the Standing Committee, and the Demo cratic vote for Governor be taken as the basis of the apportionment." SECOND, " That no district shall have less than two delegates." " That every district polling 250 votes shall have three delegates, and one extra delegate for every 100 additional Democratic votes." FOURTH and last rule is something of a curiosity, and provides " That every dele gate ` shall rote the entire ticket to be nomi nated, from top to bottom,' when his name is called by the chairman of the conven tion." This last provision prevents dodging or trading, and we wait with some interest to record its workings.

Injure the main spring of a watch and every portion of the works becomes disorderet., The human stomach is to the human system what that elastic piece of metal is to a chmnometer.

It requires renovating and regulating, and to accomplish this end, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be truly said to be the one thing needful.
