Tn the matter of tht obiectiont to the i

made by several boards of directors,
and filed during May, 1872.
Geo. W.Snvder recoiyed the Certif-

of the 107 directors prouont at tho
Convention, hold on the 7lh of May
having, on the last ballot, cant their
votes in bis lavor, wnue ou uirooiora
voted for John A Gregory and 17 vo
ted for K. G. lliivs.
Mr. Snyder s certificate or election
was filed May Oth. 1872. Onthe28lb
of the same month, the following pa-
per was received and tiled. It was
signed by a majority of thp boards of
directors of Clearfield Borough, Ouco
nl Krattv. Glrard. Bradford, Gonhen
and Lawrence Independent. It was
also signed by throo of the directors
of Lawrence townsntp uiairici., aim ir

may la.ue, and that you will lake the aeeeuary
and proper atep. to determine the truth or fal.ity
of theaa objection.. -
These charges made Investigation a
necessity. In prosecuting it, it was
ascertained
1. Tbat Aaron Peters was not le
gally a school diroctor at the lime the
Convention was Duiu.
2. That the Court nover made any
decree designating the time and plsce
of holding the election for school di
rectors in tho Independent districts of
Bradford nnd Bridgeport, according
to the ninth section of the Act of 1862,
and that tbore neror were any elec
tion returns from said districts, show
ing the time of holding the elections
in said districts, or the names of "any
person or persons voted for or elected
to fill tho office of school director, and
no such returns appear upon the rec
ords. ...
8. That Aaron Peters, three direc
tors clnimingto reiiresnnt the liridgo.
pure Iuut-iuniJviit dielnua and lour
directors claiming to represent the
Bradford Independent district voted
for Mr. Snydor.
- Having ascertained these lucls, it
was deemed unnecessary to pursue the
investigation further, for as Mr. Sny
der had but one of a majority, and as
eight of the votes cast for him were
clearly Illegal, It folio wod that thcro
was no election ol suiiorimenaeni rjy
the Convention and that the vacancy
must be filled by appointment.
Mr. Snyder who still had more votes
than any of tho other candidates de
clined Going a candidate for the ap
pointment, under any circumstances.
John A. Gregory received tho next
highest vale in tho Convention, and on
tho last ballot more than doublo the
number of votes roceived by any oth
cr candidate, except Mr. Snyder ; and
it was thought that, in accordance
with the spirit if not tho lotter of tho
law, that requires the Superintendent
of Common Schools, whon the person
receiving tho highest vote In the con
vention of directors is not commission
ed, to consider the qualifications of
tho person receiving tho next highest
numbor of voles, "who if found quali
fied shall receive the commission,"
Mr. Gregory's claims (o tho appoint
ment were strongor than those of
othert if equally woll qualified.
Satisfied by a porsonal interview
and recommendations from discreet
persons that bis qualifications were as
good as those of tbo other candidates
and such the taw requires, a Com
mission was ordered to bo mado out

Reasons for Supporting Greeley.
Tha N. 1. World, which cannot bo
accused of yielding to any sudden im
pulse in favor of Ureeley .gives tho fol
lowing seOBjoie reasons tor vvuug
the neace candidate representing bill
lots over the war candidate who is in
favorof bullets, i". . i i . s ..! -i i
First and foremost, ho .represents
the pulriolio yearning for reuon cilia
tinn. nanus and fraternity botweou the
alienated sections of our voxod and
distraotod; oountry. , .Of , this holy
and healing sontiment, which yoarns
to Coment our countrymen in muiuii
respect and cordial brotherhood, Mr.
Greeley isincomparauly theflttcst rep
resentative that could havo been se
lected frpm among our conspicuous
public men. " To be , suro, there arc
hundreds of eminent Democrats who
oherish the same generous feelings to
wards tho South ; hut ieir willingness
to bo just and magnanimous has no
extraordinary signifies noo. But when
an eminent Bepublican, nominated and
supported by Republicans, tenders for
giveness ana invites orotueruuuu, me
evidence of a great ohange in North
ern public opinion. And if such a lie-
nnlilinan ia elooted President by a
union of Pemocralio and Republican
voters, it will be a more signal demon
stration of returning kindnoss and
good will than tho olection of a rcgu
Lr DamncraL Mr. Greelov has a valid
litto to lead such a movement, lie
has steadily preached Amnesty, in sea
son and out of soaion, ever sinco the
close of the war. lie vindicated uis
sincerity in tho bail-bond mattor, when
It cost him a great part ol bis influence
in bis own party, and raised aguinsl
him a gonerul dowi oi jiepuuncun bi
ecrnl ion. . There is no outer ilcpuuil
can who bus riskod and sacrificed a
bundrelh part as much in bearing tos
timony against the illiberal, embitter
ed siiirit of tho vindictive Radicals.
.7 ' .. . . .... r
Ho is therefore a m repretwnuiuvo ui
Roaoiiciliution the most important
of present issues.
. Mr. Greeley also represents the gen
oral demand for honesty in the admin-
stratiun of the Government, ana uis
personal antecedents make him also a
suitable candidate in this view. He
is not mcrcley honest himself, but be
has boen rosolulely scourging scoun
drels all his life, and, what is moro to
tho purpose, scoundrels in his own
party." It has been tho prsotieo for
years to publish in this pnper "black
lists" tf Republican memters of our
State Legislature who voted for swind
ling schemes. The vieor with whioh
he has pursued and buntsd down such
knaves, isono reason why he has been
so unpopular in political conventions
packed and engineered by them and
their like. . . '
Horace Greoley has written many
good things, but nono surpass, wo
think nono equal in npirit and vigor,
the lettor in which he repnea to mu
New York club that threatened him
with expulsion, whon ho and Uorrit

After referring to other declarations
consistent with it, tho letter thu con
cludes, with a prophecy of tb way in
which his act would come to be re
gardeda prophecy already fulfilled :
G:neni : I shall not attend your
meeting this evening. 1 have an en
gagement out of town and shall keep
it. 1 do not rocoenir.9 you as capablo
of judging or even fully apprehending
mo. You evidently regard mo as a
weak sentimentalist, uiisload by a
maudlin philosophy. I arraign you as
narrow minded biockiicaus,wno woom
like to be useful to a great ard good
causo but don't know how. a our at
tempts to base a groat, enduring parly
on tho hate and wrath nocossurily en-
gondered by a bloody civil war, is as
tbouch you should plant a colony on
an Iceberg which had somehow drift
ed into a tropical ocean, 1 i ten you
here that out of a life earnestly dovo
ted to the good of humun kind, your
children will select my going to Rich
mond and sitrninir that hail bond as
the wisest act, and will feel that I did
more for freedom and humanity than
all of you wore competent to do,
thouch you lived to the ago of Metliu
saloh. I ask nothing of you, then,
but that you proeoed to your end by a
direct, Hank, mnniy way. uim i si
die offinlo a mild resolution of censure
but more tho expulsion which I do
servo, if I deserve any reproach what
ever. All 1 Care for is that you muko
thie a eojitai-a aland up "rib.! ami te
cord your judgmontby yeusand nays
I care not how few vote with me, nor
how many volo against me ) for I know
that the latter will repent it in dust
and ashes belore three years have
fussed. Understand once for all, thnt
dure you and defy you, and that I
proposo to fight It out on the lino that
I have held liom tho day of Leo's sur
render. So long as any man w
seeking to overthrow our government,
ho was my enemy ; from tbo hour in
which he laid down his arms, he whs
my formoi-ly erring countrymen. So
long as any is opposed to the national
nnily, tho federal authority, or to that
assertion of the equal rights of all mon,
which lias become practically identi
fied with loyalty and nationality, I
shall do my best to deprivo bim ol
power: but whon ho ceases to be thus,
I demand his restoration to all tho.
privileges of Amoricanship. I giro
you fair notice that I shall urge llio
re eniranchiscment of those now pro
scribod for rebellion so soon as I shall
fool confident that tliil courso is con
sistent with the freedom of the black"

A CARD FROM 0. W. ELLIS. '
To the Republicans of Farrea County :
Gentlemen. As it has been claim
ed that some persons did not fully un
derstand the statement I made at
Warren on Friday lost in rolation to
money having boen used at Harris
burg lor the purpose oi aoieaiing
some special legislation, 1 mako the
following statomonl in writing, 'that
nono may bo mistaken as to the lucis
of the matter; '
Two years ago last winter I was in
terested with Messrs. Henry Klsher,
Adnnb Neyburt, Joshua Picrco, M. G.
Cashing, Jus. Porshall, and J. L.
Grandin, all of Tidioute, Pa., in a pipe
for ruiininu oil from the wells on Dun-
mi Itun to the river and raiiroaa.
The developments wcro at that time
fast extending westwardly, wilb very
favorable indications, and several
parties were making efforts to secure
charters to enable thorn to luy pipes,
to compete with us. .
Having expended about twonty
thousand dollars (20,000) oo our pipe,
we thought it advisable to secure a
charter to protect us.
As 1 was a personal iriena oi our
Representative. Col. Harrison Allon,
it was suggested at a moeting of tbo
company that I proceed lo Harrisburg
to see what coultl oe none. ujkju

fuvor. IIo said that thore wor al
ready several applications fat pipe
charters in Warren and Yonango
counties, and on account of the com
petition it would bo impossible for us
to obtain an exclusivs charter, but
that b thought the better way for a
protection woultt be to kill all pipe
i.niia,a which other - parlies mi trht
seek to obtain, and that this would be
iccnmnlished in oommitlce. but to do
no it would reauire some money. I
asked him bow much. Ho replied
that it could be dono for two thousand
dollars f$2,000V I told him that hav-
inir no authority to make such an ar
rangement I would have to return and
consult with the Company. Ho said
that to far as ho was concernod ho
did not want a dollar, noither would
ho receive It. but for his services in
tho matter and tho right to lay our
nine across his land, which at tho lime
wa producing oil, ho wanted ns lo
sgrco to givo him a drawback of five
cents per barrel for his share of the
oil run by os. I returned homo and
laid tho facts before tho Company
After talkine the mnttor over they
derided that rather than endanger
their interests it would bo well to puy
the two thousand dollars, and also
five Mr. Allen the drawback roferrod
tn a hove.
I returned to Harrisburg again,
called on Mr. Allen and told him tbat
1 1, a flnmnanv had concluded to pay
thx moner. Ho then said bo would
not accept any of tho two thousand
dollars but would tell mo where to
leave It.
1 then put tho two thousand dollars,
in carrencv. in an envelope, which 1
soalnd and he dirocted mo to hand it
to Mr. Chose, a vounir man from
Warren county, to whom he introduo
cd mo, and instructed mo to say to
Mr. Chnso to keep it until called lor,
all of which I did. I had no conver
sation with Mr. Chase, nor any one
else'bnt Mr. Allon in relation to the
money, nor did I mention to any one
excipl Mr. Allen me nature oi raj
business at Harrisburg.
A fiiw dnvs after mv return wo
hoard that a Pipe Charlor which pro
vlnnnltr covered Vctianiro and Craw,

atractpd ma to return to Uurrisburg
nd e if tho report wa correct, and
if to withdraw our mony If it
oould be dono. I called on Mr. Allon
and bad him so with mo to tho rec
ords and found that such a charter
had boen granted.
1 said to Mr. Allen, thu being th
case 1 wishod to withdraw our money.
a its as then oould do us no good
Ho replied that it wa too late, that
the money had Deen applied to m
use dcsiirncd, but that ho would guar
anleo that th charier should not inter
fore with us whatever, and that h
would protect our Intorosts. All of

Drinking Water. Drinking wino
is a hahil; so is drinking spirits, alo,
cldor, cotToo and wator. Tho lust is
thought a necessity ; but to drink
much it a habit. Some peoplo drink
little not booatiso thoir constitutions
roquiro less than others ; it is thoir
habit. . These peoplo navor perspiro
so much as those who drink moro.
Tb moro that it drunk, tho moro
water passes away, or tho system
would suffer. As it Is, the strain
affect it. The skin, the kidneys,
bowels, lungs, all aro drawn upon.
Tho rosult is, n may ho naturally ex
pected, exhaustion. For this reason,
the man who drinks much wator,
particularly during the summnr and
in tho hottest weather, is less nblo to
n, I urn fniio-tia. The water is of no
benefit lo him thnt is, tho excess.
It must pass away, and this requires
an effort ol the system, which is tho
sweating process. Had ho not osed
iha ai.iK of water, ho would not
havo perspired to; it would not havo
boon Ibero for the system to expel.
It is a habit to drink water so much ;
a false thirst is created. Wo should
drink only what is needed. The hub
it of drinking moro will anon bcover
come, and tho person will feof much
strongor and more capablo of hearing
fatigue. In winter, lilllo fluid is
needed beyond whnl our food furnish
es ; in summer, some mors but not
much. Country Gentleman.
