which was held at Wilkes-liarre, on
tbo 27th of August, for the purpose of
tiQminating candidates for Supreme

Jletolved, That the Democratic par
ty of PODitsylvania, in State Conven
lion assembled, believing that tho plat
form of the late Democratic Conven
tion in Ohio is sound in principle, do
hereby subulantially resolve,
First That the Democratio party
looks to revive no dead issues, but
stands by Its principles, which are
suited to all times and circumstances;
supports the Federul government in
all its constitutional authority, and
opposes nullification and secession;
dui'uuds tho reserved rights of the
Stales and the people, and opposes
centralization that would impair or
destroy thorn. In order to preserve
and maintain Ihoso rights, it insists
upon a strict construction of the Fod
eral Constitution, resists, all attempts
in the department of the government
to usurp or dostroy constitutional
rights or independence of other de
partments; opposes all interference
by law with tho privato affairs or
business of men not required by the
public peace or safely, and advocates
tho greatest individual liberty con
sistent wilb public order. Believes io
the capacity of the people for self
government, and opposes all property
qualifications as conditions to the
rights of suffrago or eligibility to hold
ollico; uvors a liboral law; insisls
upon oquul and exact justice to all
mon ; opposes all monopolies and do
nics that it is within the province of
tho government to legislate for tho
benotit of particular classes, at theex
penso and to tho detriment of the rest
of tho community. It theroforo op
poses tho system by which large
portion of the profit producing wealth
of tha country is exempted from tax
ation, and demands thut all constitu
tional measures shall be usod toreino
dy its injustice.
It recognizes tbe evils of an irre
deemable currency, but insists that in
return to specie payments care shall
be taken not lu BoxuiuUy diUu-b tb
business of the country, or unjustly
injure tho debtor class; appreciates
tho boncfils conferred by railroads,
but opposes all combinations of rail
road companies to prevont competi
tion, and thus enhance the cost of
transportation ; opposes all laws that
give capital advantngo over labor;
requires honesty and economy in eve
ry department, Federal or Stato, and
it condemns corruption, whoevor may
be tho guilty parlies. It is in its very
nature as a necessary result of its
principles a party of progress, and
supports all measures of reform or
Improvement that are sanctioned by
justice and commended by sound prac
tical wisdom.
llcsolved, That tho wealth of the
country is tho produce of its labor,
and tho best use of capital is that
which gives employment and liberal
wages to the producing classes, llonce
every just measure that tends to pro:
toct them from oppression, and to im
prove their condition and dignify their
calling deserves and rocoives our sym
pathy and support, and that we cor
dially recommend tbe conservative
resolutions' adoplod at tbe recent Ra
tional Labor Congress at Cleveland,
favoring arbitration and co-opcralion.
llcsolved, That although always a
largo mujoiily of tho American peo
ple, the agriculturists have never de
manded ol tho government, State or
Federal, any special privilege; bhvo
never infested the halls of Congress
or Legislature witb lobbyist or
'ringB;'' but, on the con trury, have
suffered under discriminating and un
just laws until forbearance has ceased
to be a virtue. iV e hereby pledge our
sincoro and honest efforts to obtain
for them rodrcssof their grievances,
aud equal and exact justice.
llcsolved, That the publio lands
ehould bo sacredly reserved for sot
tiers who will dwoll upon and culti
vate them, and wo will conliuuo to
donounoe and opposo, as we have al
ways donouncod and opposed, all gifts
of such land by the government to
incorporated oompanioa.
llcsolved, That tho greatest dungor
to freo Institutions is wide spreading
corruption, that threatens the uttor
destruction of publio virtue ; whon
Crodit JUobilior frauds pass unpunish
ed ; whon those engaged in them aro
elevated to high olllciul position ;
whon seats in the Federal Senate are
notoriously purchased ; when vast
sums of money aro corruptly employ
ed in popular elections; when tha ar
my of olllco-holdors, with Unsanction
of tho government, use their olllciul
iiifluonco to oontrol elections; when
bribory of custom-bouso officers is an
established usage; when rings of plun
dorors aro recipients of millions of
money appropriated fur publio uso ;
when olliciul defalcations uro of such
frequent occurrence as scarcely tocx
cilo attontion ; whon Presidential par
dons roleaso defaullors from punish
ment, and Presidential appointments
roward Credit Mobilior and salary
grabbing Congressmen, and when Con
gressional Investigation is generally a
whito-washing affair, it is not strange
that men begin to loso confidence in
freo institutions, and the fame of this
great republio is tarnished throughout
the civilized world. To remove thoso
evils we Insist that the rcceipti and
expenditures of the government shall
bo diminished; thut its patronage
shall be curtailed, and all usuloos of
fices ftbolishod ; that it shall cease to
usurp tbo functions to which it has
no liilo;' but olUgjul misconduct and
fraud, corruptions in elections shall
be vigorously punished nnd that pub
lio virtue shall bo uphold and want

people.
llcsolved, That wo condomn with
out resorve the aot of Congross grant
ing additional salaries and back-pay
rnbs as unjust and unjustifiable, und
omund its immediate and uncondi
tional repeal, and wo denounce evory
member of Congross, whether Repub

thereby, and we especially donounoe
tbo conduct of Prosident Grnnt In
using the influence of his high posi
tion for its passago, and whose official
signature made it a law.
Resolved, That we will no longer
tamely submit to tho repetition of the
eloction frauds, ty which tbe will of
tho peoplo expressed at tho ballot-box
has boon subverted for some years
past, and that tho Democratio Stato
Central CommiUoo be directed to use
all their efforts to prevent a repetition
of thoso outrages on the franchises of
the pooplo, and if, in spite of their ef
forts to securo an honest election, tho
popular will is again fraudulently
overborno, to adopt such measures as
will result in tho certain vindication
of the rights of tbo legal voters of
the commonwealth.
llcsolved, That tho act of the Pres
ident in sotting up, by the bayonot,
a government in Louisiana not chosen
by bor pooplo, and having no tillo
whatever to rule over them, was a
flagrant violation of her rights ondor
the Federal Constitution.
Itesolved, That evory department
of the government being in tho bands
of the Republican party, they are just
ly responsible for tho evils and wrongs
in legislation and administration of
which the country complains.
; llesolved, That under tbe time-honored
Democratic banner,' wilb this
declaration of principles inscribed on
its folds, we engago in tho conflict,
and wo earnestly appeal to patriotic
men of evory class, without regard to
parly names or past differences, to
unite wilh us, on terms of perfect
equality, in the struggle to rescue the
government from the bands of dishon
or! men and redeem it from the flood
of corruption which threatens its ruin.
The American Ambulance Corps at
Paris.
One of the most important sorties
in which the Amorican Ambulunce
Corps of Paris look part, was at Cham-
figny. That was tho occasion when
lucrot was surely going to push
through the (ionnnn lines. In his
E reclamation he bad announced that
e would ro-entor Paris victorious or
dead. Of courso bo did not keep bis
promisor Wo were all to rendezvous
at the Champs do Mars that morning
ut four o'clock. About three of tho
same morning Mont Vulerlen oponed
fire, and then Jssy, thon Vunvcs, then
Mont Uouge, and so iho flash and roar
of tho cannon went round tho whole
city. That was our reveille. It was
cold, very cold, that morning, and we
wailed at the rendezvous a long timo
in company wiih tho French, Italian,
Swiss and other ambulance corps.
The great Doctor liicord was there,
and some of us hoard then for the first
lime that he is an American from Bal
timore. Chenu, Nolalon and sevoral
other famous surgeons were also thoro,
shivering wilh us as wo waited and
waited for the push through the lines,
which never came. Woll, whon at
lust the fight did occur, it made plenty
of work for our wagons. For the
next two days tbey were, constantly
going to and fro between tho field und
our hospital. Everywhere we wont
along the linea now wo were recog
nized and made way for. One night,
as one of our wagons was trying to
cross tho field, It was halted with the
quostion, "What ambulanco is that J"
"is it necessary to ask f" shouted a
French soldier out of the darkness.
"It is tho Americans, of course ! they
are everywhere."
At this sortio there rodo witb us a
lillio French abbo, whom somo of the
boy had picked up, woeka bvforo,
roaming about tho outposts among
the trenches. He bad won their boarls
by his inter contempt of fire as he
prayed with and confessed everybody
he could lay hands on. At tho sortie
of Chalillon he bad discovered one of
our corps bringing into tho wagons at
'.ho risk of bis life a huge punyikin.
Tho abbe imagined that Americans
must set great vnluo upon pumpkins
it they were willing to securo them at
such hazard, and ho described tho
wbolo incident In L'Univers, tbo ultra
Calbolicpttperof Paris. In thecnurso
of a few tlnys tbe ambulanco Ameri
caino received two or throo polite
notos from' religious French maiden
ladies, saying that they had a few
pumpkins which were at lire service
of the gontlemen of the corps. Wo re
ceived the pumpkins, and skirmished
for the ingredients of pumpkin pio,
which tho matron of our hospital
baked lor us. This was an unknown
use for pumpkins in France, and thoso
pios cost about their woight in silver.
Sugar we bad it was tho eggs that
cost. Horscmeut and pumpkin-piol
There was a wild extravagance in that
dinner, but thon it was patriotic at
least the dessert was.
We nearly frozo to death at Bour
got, but I have not timo to loll you of
it. I must puss on to tho last sortio
toward Montrotout and Mitlmnson.
That was a dark, foggy, leaden morn
ing, with a drizzling rain. Wo passed
through the whole French army on
our way out line, National (Jiiurds,
Mobilos, artillery, cavulry i we passed
through litem all, everywhere meet
ing with a grateful reception. Somo
limcs tbey cheered us and our wagnns
(now increased to eight) and our im
mense coffee pdt. This last was an
institulion : ll consisted of three groat
boilers mounted on wheels. Before
the meat gave out we used sometimes
to put soup in our coffee-pot and lako
it to tho Geld. Cofloo by some means
we still bad. Even on tho dosolale
morning I am. now telling you of,
many a poor-soldier who had boon
upon tho almost impussablo ronds all
night, bad been cheered by a sly tin
cupful of the procioui liquid as wo
trudgod on toward the Odd. Well,
wo were finally ordered to halt at tho

little village of Ruoil, within a stono's
throw of the uhurch where Josephine
and llorlonso lie buriod. 1 climbed
a hill on the left, and saw the French
pushing toward Buzonvul. ' They
could see uotbing before them but a
line of fire not a Prussian above the
low wall in front of the thick mass of
wood. Though 1 could see those
Frenchmen dropping down by hun
dreds, they wont aleudily on and on.
Some of them wero National Guards
who had never before been under flro.
It was bere that young Henri liegnaull
fell, wilb many olhor Parisians known
in litoraturo and art. Aflorawhile
the Germans began shelling the bill
on which I was, and I scampered down
ho lb open aquarev where tit wagons,
wore. It was not long, howevor, till
anothor German battory got to throw
ing sholls into this squnro, each dis
charge bringing them neuror and
nearer to us. Suddenly a shell struck
the corner house in front of us. Tho
door opened in a very deliboruto way,
and out came a man in a blouse,smok
ing a pipe, and followed by a woman
wilh a baby in her arms. lie leisure
ly locked the door bohind him, and
put the key into bis pocket. Then ho
started slowly across the square, witb
his wife and baby still behind him.
As bo passed us 1 exclaimed, "For
Heaven's sake, what are you doing
hero wilh thut baby f Don't you see
they are shelling all around us?"
" Yes, I aeo, I see : one of them
struck our house just now. I'vo got
another ono up boro, and we're mov
ing to it." And without taking bis
hands out of his pockets or his pipe
out of bis mouth, ho strolled on across
the open square, followed by bis wilb,
who boo moil absorbed only in hushing
tho baby as it wailed in fright at Ute
sound of tho busting sholls. , j
Tbe French line was soon thrown
back, and we filled our wagons with
wounded and starlod for tho city, tho
sholls still falling unpleasantly thick
and near. One of them struck right
under our coffee-pot, and exploding,
sent it in a hundred directions. The
horses which drew it did not bappon
to be hit, but thoy took fright and
dashed off, wrecking what was left of
the coffeo-pol wagon. Wo got buck
to town as fust ns we knew how that
day. Wo tried to go out again at
night, but could make no headway
against the crowd of wagons, artillory,
and tho retreating army on tho roads.
It was an . uttorly demoralized mob.
We barely escaped massacre by a reg
iment of Bcllvillo National Guards,
who were mad, raving mad, accusing
ovcrybody of incapacity and treason.
Tbe next day we wont out wiih a
burying party, and found members of
tins same National UuarU thickly
strewn among the vines of Buzenval
and Montretout, and we buried them.
In their new knapsacks we found
croslcd nolo paper and many such
things, showing their owners' rank
and want of military experience at
the same timo.' Some of these, articles
Hero stained wilh blood. We saw
out there tho young lady who was
soon to have married Henri Kegnault.
Sho was looking for bis body among
tho dead, and found it during tho day.
Young liegnaull, It is claimed, was in
troducing a new school in French
painting. Ho bad made somercmark
ablo slndics in Algiers, one of the re
sults of which was tho well-known
picture of Salomoin tho Salon of 1870.
I have said we saw bis betrothed
searching for his body among the dead;
and tho memory of that sweet, brave
girl in that awful sccno has lent a
pathos to tho story of his lifo and
death, which 1 do not got out of tho
writers' and painters who have since
dwelt so much and so lovingly upon
tho subject. Lippincott'i Magazine.
A Romantio Story,
Quite a romantic story is told of the
model of Powers" Greek Slavo. It
appears thore was nn American gon
lleman of great wealth, who had a
beautiful daughter beautiful in form
as in features nnd charnctor, but not
content wilh this treasure, be addod
to bis household a second wife. About
thirty years ago his wifo ran away
and took away with her hor husband's
monoy. Falherand daughter, in their
povorty and distress, took np tem
porary residence in Florence, and
thore mot Hiram Powers. Out of
love for the destitute father, whose
sufferings from want she had no moans
to relievo, tho dnughtor consented to
become the model for the Greek Slavo.
Frionds and relations recognize tho
likonoss of tho beautiful statue to the
original. Tho lady is still living and
is tho mother of charming daughters.
The original Greek Slave beenmo the
property of Mr. W. W. Corcoran, and
has by him been given, together wilh
his privalo gallery of paintings, to tho
Corcoran Art Gullcry, District of Co

To Have Applks Every Year. A

bune tolls throe ways ot having apples
every year. .
1. Tako scions from a tree in 1873
and put them into a good thrifty tree,
and do iho same in 174, and you will
gel fruit in nltornato years.
2. If you cut olf tlio thrifty trees
the growth of 1878 in the lust of Juno,
loaving three or four buds thut would
come out in 1874, you would force
out tho next year's buds and guin one
year. .
8. If you remove all the blossoms
on one-half of your truo in tbe bear
ing year you will have fruit on that
half tho odd year. Thoso things 1
have done successfully.
I have now in bearing tho Victory
applo of tho odd year produced in this
way ; next year the anions of the lost

" ' The Syndicates
Our government is great on Syndi'
cates, Credit ' Mobilior,' and other
French terms, which are incompre
hensible to many of our backwoods
Congressmen, (Soofiold for Inslanco,)
who are thereby lod astray and nctu
oJ ly criminate themselves Inadver
tently. Tho Pittsburgh rosl, in al
luding to the last Syndiouto gnruo
played off on tho tax payers, says I '
"Ono of tho most mysterious croa
lions of modern timos, is that offspring
of tho Treasury department known as
tbe Sydicate. Our great lexicograph
er defines the word to moan "a body
of Syndics;" and, when you turn to
the word Syndic, you learn that they
aro, in Franco, tho persons who are
appointed by unfortunuie creditor! to
manage tho affairs of a bankrupt I Is
all this a covort admission on the part'
of the late as wall as the present Sec
retary of tho Treasury, that our gov
ernment wilh its throe or four bun-'
died millions of repudiated promises
to pay, is really In bankruptcy ?
Our readers will recollect now tbo
Syndicate got several months double'
intorest about a yoar or so ago upon,
wu forget bow many, millions of doP
Inrs ; by means of which the bankrupt!
was Bovorcly diddlod and its assignees'
wore - made able ' Io subscribe very
Inrgcly to tbe eloction expenses of
1872. .., That, was -generally regarded
as a pretty sharp piece of practice, but
stilt it wus only a beginning.
Tho British govornment is bound
to pay fiftoon millions and a half of
dollars damagos under the award of
Iho Geneva rolcrees.. This monoy is
now being puid to the Syndicate, who
uso it for the purpose of purchasing
U. S. 0 per tent, bonds, which they
turn over lo the agent in London and
receive U. S. Treasury gold certificates
payablo to their ordors; theso tbey
will hand over to tbo British Minister
at Washington, who wilt hand thorn
over to our government at Washing
ton as so much gold ; tho government
will hand theso certificates over to tbo
Syndicate and recoive $15,000,000 in
tho 0 per cents, now purchased Id
London. By Ihis little operation tho
expert financiers will have had tho
use of the wholo amount of the Geneva
award for three months, and if they
don't make $227,01)1) out of tho opera
tion, it will bo becauso they don't buy
paper at more than i of 1 per cont.
for 80 days. The probability is that
tho profits will approach noaror to
half a million. It pays woll to sup
port Grant, if you are "pretty high
up in tho papers.". It would look
pretty much as if those folks would
havo all tho monoy in tho country,
within tho life of a generation. ,
The Pittsburgh Leader, in alluding
to another phazo of this Syodicato
"stonl," says :
jay cooke'b tlum.
A nice little thing has Jay Cooke's
"syndicate" madoby a little foresight
and shrewd political munouvcring.
Just before congress adjourned last
wintor, it may bo rcmomborcd, a bill
was put through under Bon Butler's
mamigomcnt, providing Hint when
England should pay over tho Alabama
award, Iho money should be invested
in tbo United States now fivo por
cent. This was regarded as a strictly
patriolio measure, find when it wont
flying through both bouses liko a cir
cus girl through iho papered hoops,
iho country applauded wilh right good
will. But it appears that previous lo
this thore had been another bill passed,
giving tho syndicate the monopoly of
the now Gvo per coots, on condition
of their agreeing to "placo" them all.
So that now when this magnificent
award of 815,000,000 is about to be
paid over according to agreement it
is discovered thut the bonds in which
it must be invested have to be bought
from tho syndicate, and on this trans
action of courso tho syndicato makes
its regular commission amounting to
