THE TROUBLES OF THE REPUB-
. LIOAN PARTY.
A Joint High Cunmi.sloB Proposed.
Tha Republican party is BulTurinp-
froro mnny troubles. It has its
troubles in Mnssiichnsotts, where, no
cording to Wendell Phillips, tho ani
mating spirit of "the critter" is none,
and the canccrn is morally dofunct.
General Butlor still lives and is still
lively; but since theaelllomontof the
fiuhery question even Butler cannot
raiso a brees of exoiiement at Capo
Cod. In Pennsylvania tho Republi
cans are all nt bixcs and sovent; but
whilo thoy aro divided upon every
thing and everybody olo they have
at leant a common rallying ground
around Gcnernl Grant and his admin
istration. In Missouri they havd boon
so cut up between Gratz Brown, Curl
Schurz and General Frank Blair, that
they uro apparently gono beyond ro
covery. In Ulito and Illinois the free
trailer and civil service rclormors and
jronoral amnesty guerillas, headed by
men men as General Cox and Sonator
Trumbull, aro making much'niiscbicf.
Ao"lor bonoral Jjognn, he, too, has an
eyo upon tho White Honso, for he
thinks ono term enough lor uonoral
Grant. Down in Maryland, and most
of the other Southern Statos, they
have several little clashing oliquos,
each claiming to be tbe Simon Pure
Kcpublicans. - in laot, wo doubt if
thore is a singlo Stato in which the
Kopublicons are a unit, unlosj it is the
Stato of Kentucky, and there they
have not the ghost Of chnnco for
anything against the overwhelming
Democracy.
But tho wranrrlinrrs and tho divisions
among the Ropublicans of New York
city and Stato are tho most stupid,
the most mnllgnnnt and apparently
the moBl hopeless of all tho lot. Tho
two principal factions of tbe party
here are tho insiders and the outsiders,
headed, the ono by Senator Colliding,
tho other by Sonulor Fenton. In tho
ontsot of General Grant's administra
tion Senator Fenton .got hold of the
working wires oi the JNow York Cus
tom House, and then to Fenton and
his conlcderates and his followers
everything was lively at Washington,
nd (jcnerul Oram whs a model Trcsi-
dent. But unfortunately Sonator Fun
ton, io "cutting too much fut," was
found out, and so he full from gruco,
and all his firo. In fact, lie and his
retainers have been banished from the
Custom LIouho and tho door is shut
against them, and so Ibcy bavo ro-
,1 1 n . -
SQIVOa tub. VVHIil V'f'iV auuil oo
reduced to ono term, and that, if pos
sible, Fenton or Greeley shall tako his
place, and that Coukling, who now is
check by jowl with Collector Murphy,
shall walk tho plank. So they go.
ibis JNew lork Custom House,
howover, has become nothing bat a
box of Pundora to the party holding
it. In l&M H there wort in this city
and. Stuio two factions among th
Democrats which absorbed tbe whole
party tho bardshells and tho soft
shells; and in tho quarreling of theso
hards and softs over the Custom House
spoils and plunder they bocamo each
an Independent party in tho State
olections, and soon tbe Custom House
spoils question botweon tho Bronsnn
hardshell ticket and the Redflold soft
shell ticket they turned over tho Stale
to the common onomy. So it will
most probably be with this Republican
split ovef the Custom House spoils.
Of course the Tammany sachems are
jubilant, for from present appear
ancs tlhcy will carry Now York in
November by at lotist fifty thousand
majority. Sonator Conkling, down
at Long Branch, has been talking
over these troubles with Genoral
Grant) but we fear thoy are too much
for Sonator Conkling, and wo fear
that the only way whereby a Custom
Uouho treulv of peaco can bo made is
tho way of the Joint High Commis
sion on thoso Alabama claims. Let
this plan of arbitration be adotitod,
with a share of the spoil to Senator
Fenton and a sop to Mr. brecley and
the country, and our precious Institu
tions may bo saved. Othorwiso let
General Grant prepare for a scrub rnco
for the Presidential succession, with

Geo. nm. McCandless, the -Democratic
candidate for Auditor Genoral,
wa born a Peonsylvanian, brought
up, a mechanic, and in his early
manhood acknowledged no suporior
to uis trade, lie was reputed lor bis
skill, energy and iustry, and posses
sed tha confidence of bis employees
to an nnlimitod degreo. Health Tail
ing, ho applied himself to tbe law, and
in a short time became as skillful at
the bar a bo waa in the shop the
amo enory and industry that won
imputation lor tho machinist oharao-
torized the lawyer. When tbe war
came he entered the army, not for tho
purposo ot securing an easy birth and
big pay, but to light with the same
energy and doterruinnlion as he had
labored in the shop and forgo ; and in
all tbe glorious roll of tho Pennsylva
nia ltoMoive Uorps thore is no name
that shines brighter than that of Gon.
Win. ucuandlei. , ' , '
Now let us comparo the character
of Gen. MoCandloss with tho man our
Republican frionds present for the
samooOico. ,. Dr. David Sainton's early
manhood is wrappod in mystoiy.r
Some yoars niro ho arrived in Penn
sylvania from Ohio and commenced
tho practice of medicine in Beavor
county. At the breaking out of the
war he entered tho sorvico as a sur
geon and in a very bHuf period wa
promoted by bis nncle, K. M. felanton,
then Socrotary of War, to a Medical
Directorship, with the rank of Col
onel. In tbi position, he remained
until the close of tho war, when he
again rolurnod to private lifo, without
having participated in a sinirle battle,
and abo without improving hi stand
ing in tho medical profession. Like
a iltrgo majority of Republican politi
cians, Dr. Stanton thereafter devoted
much time to party affairs and finally
wa admitted to the Cameron ring of
manipulators and by that faction nom
inated for the oflico of Auditor Gon-
orul. . Comment is unnecessary; la
boring business men can draw their
own conclusion.
In Captain Coopor, thoir candidate
for Survoyor Genoral, tho Democracy
believe thoy have a man of tho people
a cilir.cn who bas proven h insell ol
sterling worth ; nn industrious, honest
luboror in one ol Pennsylvania's great
est productive industries. . His early
Iilo is marked with all thoso com menu
able traits of character which are in-1
seperable from a poor boy's strugglo
upward into business, iue breaking,
out of tbo war found hint Engaged in
lucrativo business, which he cheerfully
abaudoned to participate in the strug
gle, for tho restoration of tbe Union.
Hi military record is too woll known
to require repetition here. His deeds
of valor as commander of "Cooper's
Battory" form a brilliant part of the
history of Pennsylvania's citizen-soldiery
during that terrible strugglo.
Leaving tio armr he found Llmc!f s !
poor man, uepondont npon hi daily
labor, and nt once entered tho ranks
of tbe laboring men by manual labor
in a saw mm. in this Dusinoss he lias
continued ever since and doubtless
will oontinue nntil callod upon to as
sume- tho responsibilities ot lb office
lor wnicn ne is a canuiuuio.
Capt. Cooper' opponont for the
Surveyor Generalship, Col. Itobt. B.
Heath, we Know nothing ot previous
to the rebollion, in which bo served as
an officer of a regiment of negro troops;
but tho history of Pennsylvania s part
in (ho war gives as no information ol
his career as a soldier. When ho ro
turned from the army he at onoe en
tered political life as a recognized tool
of Simon Camoron. Alter bomg de
feated as a candidate for the Common
Council of Philadelphia his political
master bad him made a sub postmss
tor. Leaving that position he next
appears in the capacity ol book keeper
to a Schuylkill company, and as AVc
retaru of the Coal Operator'! Ring,
vhirk was organized for the purpoie of
crushing down the workingmen and
compelling them to yield to the demands
of a si of greedy monopolists ny starv
ing Met and their families.
At this particular lime, nnving tun
knowledge of tho characters of at least
two of tho canc'idiitcs for State ofllcos,
surely no citizen having tho good of
tho Stato at hoart enn hositato as to
his duty, Dor can he afford to romnin
neutral or indifferent as to the result
of the con tost. Such was the feeling
which prompted tho nomination of
those most excellent and thoroughly !
tried men, MoCandlcss and Coopor,
and we boliovo tho peoplo will show
thoir appreciation of them by olocting
them lo tho responsible offices for
which thoy are candidates. Hunting

Suppression of Testimony by the Ku

Tho Radicals cxpocled great thing,
from the Ku Klux" Committee. They
calculated that it would bo ablo to
accumulate a mass of testimony
which would justify the enactment of
the law which gives despotic power to
the President. Tbo offorLs of tho
committoo bavo resulted in a com
plete failure. One after another tho
lies of such willing witnesses a tho
Roverond Lukin bavo bocu rcfutod by
the testimony of prominent citizens
who wore woll known befuro and du
ring the war as Union men. Tho
witnosscs who have testified so freely
to tho peaceable condition ot the
Southern State and to the) readi
ness of the poople to perform all the
duties of good and loyal citizons, have
been men who were summoned by the
Radical members of the committee.
Out of the months of thoir own wit
nesses have they boon condomned.

Committoo, Messrs. Bock, of Ken

greatly surprised attho non-appearance
of corluin prominont Southern
gentlemen whom they had caused to
b summoned as witnesses, and who,
il wa well-known, were in a position
to givo a corroct and truthful view of
tho Southern situation. In viow of
tho unaccountuble delay in tbe arrival
of these witnesses a dispatch was sent
to the Southern papers, staling the
surprise that was expressed. Not
hnlf a day olopsed bofore telograms
wore received Irom mon who had boon
sunimonod, stating that dispatches
had boon sent to them by J. li. French,
th Radical Sergeant nt Arms of the
Unitod States Senato, announcing to

Grant eomos up frequently ot those

Why are you gentlomon oftlio rog

self a regular 1" Isold loan officer
on tho Plains.
"Oh, bo has so little of tho fooling
an oiiiuer. xnoro was Tompkins,
yuarturiiiamer, in raider ot I'mrlax.
Grant's wife went lo Tompkins when
he was Post Quartormaster at Wash
ington, for an ambnlaneo, and Tomp
kins, making somo light, satirical ro
mnrk upon her preference for coaches,
wa forthwith packed off to Alaska.
That was the magnamity of a Presi
dent. In tho same way old Dr. K .
a regular army surgoon, was bulliod
and torturod bocauso Grant wanted
him to tuka his divorced wil'o buck to
bis, bed, or pay her S75 a month o
of his pay. The doctor was on the
i'aoino elopo, and be marrlod a woman
too young and gny for him. Hereon
duct passed misinterpretation at last,
and tho old man bad no difficulty in
oDiBiningascporauonon tho evidenco.
She went to WaHbinglon. captured
me rrcsmonc, ana the order camo to
submit to tbe loss of $75 n month out
of his pay. Tho doctor replied that
ne would stand court mnrliul first,
and tho President ordorcd him to Al
aska thi by way of bitnishmont for
contumacy. Hut, being tougher than
pleased the .'resident, he was in a Iiltle
whilo ordered on to New" York for
court martial. Tho woman appeared
thoro on the arm of Gen. MoDowoll;
but tho Court honorably admitted the
old man. Enraged at being made a
fool of, Grant now ordorcd tho doctor
to Arizona, among tho Apaches, where
no remains at the present time.
"We army men know all those mat

and, roserving our opinions as to what

The Farm in Indiana County.
Under tho improvident and extrava
gant donation of tho public hinds for
agricultural oollngos, and tbe creation
of swindling land scrip, whereby spec
ulators pocketed their millions, l enn
sylvania ha bocome Iho happy pos
sessor of thoso farms. These farms
have boon converted into asylums for
broken-down Radical politicians, who
instend of raising priza wheal, potatoes
and turnips, exorcise their fino tastes
at public cxponso in cultivating
dotiblo dahlias, tuberoses and hanging
buskcts. These happy tenants of the
Commonwealth could not bo persua
ded to dig. They do not purpose to
uujrrmio lliuir uniuiv lingers lulling in
the fields. Hence their agricultural
experiments aro of not much value to
tho plum tiirmors ot ronnsyivaniu.
Una ol those tnrms, through tho in
fluence of Wutts, the present Commis
sioner of the Buroau of Agriculture,
was looated in Centre county. Iho
Judge wanted a farm with no water,
and ho found it. Tho gentle youths
who iro lo the Agricultural ColWo to
cultivate their Dulba, and grub for
Greok roots while learning the my
tones of sub soil plowing, discovor no
font of Helicon there, but ore com
pelled to carry thoir cislorn water in
weary puoncrs vu vug uurmuoncs in
tho fifth story of tbo college building.
Anolher ono of tboso farms has its
happy location in Indiana county.
Having secured a dry farm, tho next
slop of the Judge was lo got a spouty
one, o as to liave variety of land
for agricultural experiment. Spouty
lands aro abundant in Pennsylvania,
and thoro ws no difficulty in select
ing a site. Bat what made this tract
poculiarly attractive was ine iitci mat,
the ownor of the largest part of it was
General Wbile. The Uonoral was a
Sonator, and was, of eonrso, deeply
interested in the development of the
agricultural resources of the Common
wealth. Tin consideration inuucen
him to part with Hie paternal roods,
at about sevonty five dollars more per
aero than ho would have taken from
a private purchaser. It was liko tear
ing tho josses of his heart to give up
thoso lands, but love of his native
Slate prevailed over all minor consid
erations, aud rennsyivania is inus in
nossession of as spouty a furm as the
agricultural Judgo Watt could wish.
Notwithstanding tbo Tact mat uono

is pleasing to know that ho still feels
an interest in it, and sees to it that it
furnisho an asylum for somo ol his

Uuppnt Quapowto Works.- j,
We tako tho following description'
of tho Dupont Gunpowder work
from Bishop' History of American
Manufactures:
Eloulbero Irene Du Pont waa tho'
founder of tho imtnenso works distin
guished as the "Brandywino Power
Works," near Wilmington, Delaware,
H was m native ot Franc?, nd emi
grated to tlio United States in tho
lull of 1700, lauding at Nowport,
Hhodo Island, January 1st, 1800.
Having noticed tho poor quality 6t
tho Gunpowder then mado in America,
bo resolved to ongnge in its manufac
ture, of which bo bud somo knowledge,
having boon n pupil of tho celebrated
French oliomist, Lavoisier, who had
charge of tho "Bureau do Poudrcs el
Sal pet res" under tho Fronch Govern
ment. After somo timo snout In selecting
a location, Mr. Du Pont established
himself on the Brnndywino creek,
about four miles ahovo the town of
Wilmington, in tho Slate of Delaware,
where ho prosecuted tho businoss with
such success that, nt th6 timo of bis
decease, at tha United Slates Hotel in
Pbiladelphiit, In 1834, his establish-
ninot WO. Iltn ti.not avtAti.lon nf I. a
kind In this country, as it now is
probably in tho world.
Sinco tho decease of its founder, lbs
business ha boen managed by hi
sons and grandsons, who maintain tha
old nrro-slylo of E. J. Du Pont de
Nemours Co. The works of the
firm comprise five complcto manufac
tories, four of them on lbs Brandy
wine, and one in Luzerne county,
Pennsylvania, whore Blasting Powder
for colliers' use is largely mado.
Tho original works, on tho Brandy
wino, commenced operations io 1802,
and have a capacity for producing
fivo thousand pound of Sporting
I'owdor por day. . -
Tho middle, or Ungley Works, com
menced in 1812, coinpriso two com
plcto sot of works, in ono enclosure,
undor a full of twenty-two foot so
arranged thai both can work on tho
same description of powder; or, Jf re
quired, one sot can manufacture ono
kind of powder, nnd the oilier sot
another kind ; tlio two combined hav
ing a capacity of twonty-.fivo thousund
pounds of Blasting Powdor per day.
The 1owor worksr commenced in
134(1, aro under a full of twelve feet,
and have a capacity of five thousand
potlnds of Sporting Powdor por day.
Tho Snllpotro Refinery, with Labo
ratory attached, is two hundred nnd
fifty-eight feet, by ninoty-six feet,
with ample appliances for supplying
nil tho Intro required for tho fabrica
tion of Powder, nnd ulso considerable
quantities for tho market, for sucl
purposes as reqtiiro nn nrtielo chemi
cally, puro. In proximity to tbe Re
finery are largo warehouses for tlio
storugo of saltpetre.
Tho C harring Houses, for the prepa
ration of charcoal thrco in number
are capable of furnishing nil the conl
required for the mills, tho wood being
stored nod seasoned in extensive
buildings adjacent.
The firm having two shipping point
one on the river Delaware, with
magazines, and a whurf ut which large
vessels can lie ; tho other on the
Christiana creek, with amplo wharf
age for coasters, and for landing coal,

A Passenger Railway has boon es
tablished between thn city of Wil

Mossrs. Du Pont.
Attached to tho Power Works are)
oxiensivo Machino and Millwright
Shops, where all repairs arc mado, and
most of the machinery is built; also
a Saw-mill, Pluning-mill, Carpenter
and Blacksmith shops, and capacious
buildings lor tho manufacture ol
wooden nnd mctalic kegs and barrels,.
nnd of powder canisters.

Besides tbo I'owdcr-mills, tho firm-
own over two thousand acres of land,.
Ihnt stretches for a distance of threo
milos on both sides of tho stream ; and
on this properly there nro thrco
Woolen-mills, a Cotton-mill, a Mer
chants' and Grist-miH, and a popuhv
tioo of nearly four thousand person.
The farms attached to tho works ar
in a high state of cultivation, and the
roads ar all nuicndnmized for easo of
transportation. The buildings on tho
cstato aro mostlv of stone, and vory
substantial, and the- machinery is of
the bost and most costly chnrauier.
The high reputation so long main
tained for tho Brandywino Powder is-
due to the care bestowed on its manu
facture, nnd to the constant personal
supervision of tho owners. The con
sumption of saltpetre, tho principal1
ingrodient in the manufacture, has
boon in a single year, including the
Ijtizerne county mills, over seven mil
lions; of pounds, the bulk of which was
mported from : Calcutta. Tho ma
chinery in operation lor the manufac
ture of Gunpowdor is driven by three
steam engines and forty-seven water
wheels, the grontor part of which aro
Turbinos.
Tbo manufacture ombnwos an o-
scriptions of Powder, viz., Mammotn,
Cannon, Morlar, Musket mid Rifle,
lor nrmy and navy ordnance service ;
Diamond gram, r-agle, nnd the various
grades of Cnnlstor and Sporting Pow
ders; Shipping, Blasting, Mining and
t use l oaders.
Tho production of tho mills is prin
cipally consumed in tho United States,
the urm having agencies and mnga.
zincs at fill the most important points,
with a principal depot tor the ractno
Slates ut San Francisco, and agendo
in South America, and in the East
nnd West Indios.
To illustrate tho progross which
has been made In tho rmtmiOieture of
Powdor in tho Unitod Stales, it Is
only nocossnry to recall the fact ihnt
during tho Crimean wnr mo Allies, to
cnnblu them to prosecute tho siego of
Sobnstopol, were obliged lo procure
large supplies or l.unpowdor in tno
United Suites, (ono ball of which was
furnished by tha Brundy wine Powder-
mills), and that tho American rowacr
oom pared favorably with Iho best they
could procure in Europe.
