tlio lollowing to the attontion of voters:
Tho new Constitution forbid all per
ona from voting unloss tlioy have boon
assessed at loaxt two months and paid
tlicir taxes at leant ono month beforo
tho duto ot the election. . No ono ot
foreign birlb can vote unions, in addi

ized a month previous to tho election.
Tho ilule of holding tho next election
ia Tuonduv. Nov. 2d.
Thuraduy, September 2d, ia tho lout
day on which voters can bo ossossod.
Fridny, October 1st, ia tho last day
on which taxes can bo paid.
Friday, Octobor 1st, ia tho lost day
for taking out naturalization papers.
Each of those important dutioa can
be performod at any timo beforo tho
Java mentioned. Lot our friends boo
to it that tho matter is attended to bo
foro it is too lato. '
Mr. Piolctto, our nominee for State
Troamiror, ia a Bradford county farmer
- - - --
Gov. Pershing ia just fifty years of
age j Treasurer Piolclto ia sixty -throo,
and both of them aro among tho moat
vigorous and upright men in tho State, j
Eat and Eaby. Dispatches from
Washington say that tbo President is
displeased with Postmastor General
Jewell, and that ho would accept hia
resignation. Mr. Jewell Buys ho is
ready to go whenover tho President
desires.
Settled. Tho Itudical organs have
been crowing for three woeka past over
the fact that thoir party had elected a
majority of the mcmhors to the North
Carolina Constitutional Convention,
which met at Baloigh on the 8th, and
cloctcd Democratic ofliccra to preside
over Ha doliberationa. llow ia that
for a Tiadieal victory?
No Use. The Radicals in Now
Hampshire are trying to punish and
suppress vagrancy in that State. Thia
ia entirely superfluous. Tho United
States census ahowa that thia excessivo
Radical Stale 1ms been on tho decline
in population and business for over
fifloon vears. Such are tho fruits of
Radicalism wherever it gets a foothold.
VVorui and Worse. Later returns
from Laliiornia go to snow tnut tnu
Democrat have elected nil the Con
gressmen. Instead of having but ono
member from that Stato, we have tho
wholo delegation. Such a thundoring
majority as wo will havo in tho noxt
House. Why, tho Democrats will have
to ask for room in tho Senato Chamber
ii Uiia "tidal waro" kocpa rolling on.
A Uood Selection. We notico by
the proceedings of tho State Conven
tion that Win. W. Betts, of this bor
ough, has beon placed on- the State
Committee for this XXXIVth Senato
rial district. Mr. Bctta is ono of our
most cnlerprizing citizens, active and
npright in all his dealings. If a major
ity of tho membors of that body pos
aoss tho onorgy and tact of Mr. BotU,
wo may look for a livoly campaign.
Strino Him Up. Tho editor of tho
Flutter Herald says : When Morton was
in Ohio he saw plain enough that if
the Republicans fought tho issue on tho
money issuo tbey wcro bound to lose,
ao ho advised them to take tho issuo of,
a division of tho school funds hoping
thus to incite a religious war. The
demagogue who would creato a reli
gious war for tho aako of a political
triumph ought to bo hung. Such a
man ia a traitor of tho worst kind to
the rxtifa and order of the country.
Mori Welsh Letters. Delano's
Indians aro being scalped most beauti
fully by tho lato Commissioners who
wore drivon out by the ring. Mr. Win.
Welsh, of Philadelphia, has sent a
fourth letter to Prof. Marsh on tho
management of Indian affairs. Ho
continues hia charges of collusion in
tho Indian frauds ngainst the officers
of the Interior Department, and in
conclusion aays : "It must bo painfully
apparent to every closo obsorvor and
student of human nature that Sccro
tary Delano is cautiously laying hia
plana for manipulating Christian agen
cies without Die risk of exposure, and
that he oxpects to be scrounod and up
held by Christian people to whom ho
give patronage, not on evidence, but
on his own loud professions of vigilance
And hn(iy."
W Rise to Explain. Reader, on
a former occasion m promised to say
this woek : "Vor Governor, William
lliglor." Thia wo cannot do. Tbo
delegates to tho Erie Convention havo
seen fit to change our programmo, and
wo aro advised to write the namo of
Oyrna L. Pershing, instead. Thia wo
do with pleasure, for two reasons. Wo
know Mr. Pershing to bo one of the
gnrcst puMio men in tho Common
'vvoitWi, and because ho has boon select
ed for (the position by our duly consti
tuted .ropcoaentatives. Ito has boon
'thoroughly .tumUtd in public affairs, and
like our omui highly ostocmed candi
dnte, ho has never thud his official gar
ments soiled, or bit poraoiwl character
imwuf ssfully assailed.
W ttro proud ot our nominoes.
SioithffTiW them ever mot George 0.
Evans on Clieajjint atrcct, Philadelphia,
atnd handed him ttfiOO without taking
a receipt or demanding jthoir notes.
Alonoe wo place their names jit our
mast head ithi week, and ask every
mian who loves free jrovornmont to as
exist in .electing tliem,and thereby over
turn the corrupt cabal which has ruled
t llarrisburg for tho pust .Ion yoars. '
THE no VERXMEXT A CCOUNT.
A birds' oyo view of our Imports
and ExHrta develops the following
fuels : For the fiscal year ending on
the anth of June last, wo Imported
twenty-one millions of dollars l.$21,
000,0(10) of gold and silver coin and
bullion. 'Iho previous year wo im
ported twenty. the millions ($25,000,
000). This shows a loss of four million
on imparts. The export account Is still
worse. Last year wo oxportod about
sixty million dollars ($00,000,000) of
the precious motula. Thia year reach
os tho sum of eighty-four million dot
lars, ($84,000,00(1), being an exoess of
twentyour million dollar. It will be
noticed that our cash account ia abort
Uiia yoar ticenty-eight million dollars.
Although wo havo vory hard times, our
bills for luxuries aro higher tliis yoar
than last, as witness tho following items :
roaaoaiTisi. 1875. I8M.
Gotoa :,,50l,j0 65,0(8,00
Tea ja,7,7l
Venov flood t,Al,lni
KrullenndNuta 1I,.H7,MII
Bilk ss.sao.aiie
flusar 7o,io(!, ma
atolataoe H,8,B0
Total f309,444,Slig $20,6(1,700
With the exception of our Coffee,
Sugar and Molasses accounts, all our
bills have increased, notwithstanding
our poverty. Tbo fact that Congress,
in February last, imposed a tax of 20
per cent, on eugar and molasses may
havo produced a temporary blockado,
and therefore curtailed our tteeet ac
count. Iron accniB to havo received
the RUVftrwat. Vilow . Thn valnn -of roir
imports iho past year amounted to but
$18,000,000 ngainst $34,000,000 for the
previous year. That feature alone
Bhould brighten up that branch of
trade, yet it seems to bo in a more lan
guishing condition than other business.
Our Export account looks much
worse. We have lost $50,000,000 on
bread stuffs, $30,000,000 on cotton,
112,000,000 on oil, $5,000,000 on tobac
co, and $3,000,000 on tallow, making
in all about one hurulml million! of a
loss. In addition to thia losa in trade,
wo must take into our account tho fact
that we ahipped $28,000,000 more cash
to Europe tho past year than the year
previous, while our gains in trade will
not loot up fen million dollar. Our
gains aro vory light while our losses
are excessivo. Our gains in exports
run about in this way: On provisions,
$100,000,000, hidos, $200,000,000, oil
cuke, $1,000,000, sugar, $l,000,000,iron,
$1,000,000, leathor, $3,000,000.
How long would an individual last
as a trader if hia account would run
against him liko this Government ac
count? Wo propose, in our next issuo,
to give a mora detailed statement of
our export account, and a comparative
viow of onr import account aa between
tuxuric and necessarie.
LOOK OUT FOR ROOSTERS.
A gang of political sneak-thioves in
and around llarrisburg, havo formed a
ring tor tho purpoao of bleeding county
Treasurers of this Commonwealth.
The following is the bait thrown out
through tho newspapers :
"There is a rumor afloat that it has
been given as the opinion of the Attor
ney General, that County Treasurers
dotted two yonrs ago, and sworn into
otfico on the 1st ot January, 1Hi4, hold
ovor another yoar, or nntil the 1st of
January, 1877, under tho provisions of
tha naw Constitution.
Thia ia the outtole programme. Tho
inside arrangement is a circular letter,
addressed to every county Treasurer,
asking a contribution of from $10 to
$500 according to the wealth of tho
county, in order to havo somo legisla
tion upon tho question so as to contin
ue tho present incumbents in ofllce for
ono year longer than they were elected
There is also a scheme on toot to tako
tho question beforo tho Supreme Court,
in order to test its Constitutionality,
and for this object from $5 to $50 aro
solicited.
Thoso Treasurers who aro green
enough to be caught and held in this
tli in net, deservo to bo cheated. The
game is a similar one to that attempted
on tho Banka last winter, when an ef
fort was made to raise the ratos of in
terest. We Bay look out for tho acoun-
drela,and let an eflbrtbo made to arrest
and expose thorn. A Treasurer who
is green onough to send these scoundrels
monoy desorves to bo cheated, if not
indicted and sent to tho Penitentiary.
THE RADICAL PLATFORM.
The llarrisburg Patriot Baya: Nono
of tho wiso men of the Republican party
havo beon able to interpret for tho
people of Pennsylvania tho "truo in
wardness" of the Lancaster platform
on the currency. The resolution de
clares for "Ireo banking, a anfb and
"uniform currency adjusted to tho
" growing wanta of tho business inter-
" cats of the country." Now whether
thia "safe and uniform currency" slial
consist of greenbacks, national bank
notes, or gold and silver, tho authors
and advocates of this platform cannot
bo pcrauadod to say. Evorybody.hard
money man and inflationist, may Inter
pret tho mooning of this doublo-facod
resolution to suit himself, though thore
is a very suspicious squint in tho direc
tion of inflation iu the phrase about
adjusting tho currency to tho "growing
wants of tho buBinoss Interests." Con
trasted with thoso tricky, dishonest,
equivocal phrases, there ia a refreshing
tranknons and Btraightforwardnoss
about tho Erio resolution on the cur
rency. Whotovor differoiieea of opin
ion may exist on this question, there is
no mistaking the meaning of the Dera
ocratio platform, and it will attjuct
support by its honesty and directness,
while tho tricky and doeoptivo catch
words of the Lancaster resolution will
only repel tho earnest voter.
a .--..i
A Gencine Dewaoooi'E. It Isroally
amusing to read tho speeches of Gov.
Noyos, ol Ohio, who is stumping the
Stato for lbs Republicans. Whon mon
of his intelligence are drivon to blamo
tho present disOsss of ilia con n try
upon the Doinocrats, "because," as bo
says, "Ihoy opposed the war," Repub
licans must be bard put to fur argu
ments to sustain a rotUin cause.
In Session. A Constitutional Con
vention is in session in Alabama. Gen.
h, Torcoy Wlakor was elected Presi
dent without a dissenting voice. Three
fourths of tUe auimlwra are Democrats.

Andrew Johnson was Prusiilwit, ay.
oral inBiiranoe companies offered bin)
policies on his life ; but he refused all
and .djed, contrary to general assortion,
without itx-ia insured for a single dol

OUR MOM1XEES.
Cyrus L, Torsliing la a nutivo of
Cambria county, and wna born in 1825.
Ho has practised law at Johnstown for
many years, and has devoted hia lift)
to his profession. Although a Demo
crat In his convictions bo wus not a
violent purtlsan, and was often culled
upon to take a place on tha ticket. In
18S0 he came within a few votes of
defeating Colonel Edie, for Congress,
in the strong Republican district of
Huntingdon, Bluir, Cambria and Som
erset, and in 1856 ho was ru-uominatod
for Congress, but defeatod by S. S.
Blair, by somo 2,000 although leading
his ticket. In 1800 ho was chosen to
tho Legislature and served Ave years
consecutively. In 1809 ho was tho
Democratic nominee for Supremo
Judge, but was defeated by Judge
Williams' by' 8,701 majority. Two
years ago tho people of Schuylkill
county, without distinction of party,
nominated him for President Judge
against Judge Ryan, and ho was elect
ed by over 3,000 majority. Since then
ho bos dovotod himself to hia judicial
duties, and discharged thoin moat ac
ceptably. Victor Enillo rioletto ia of French
extinction, and was born in Wysox,
Bradford county, iu 1812. His educa
tion was obtained at the ordinary
schools of that section of the Stato,
fifty yuars ago. It was solid xand
practical, and fitted him for tho occu
pation ho chose fur life that of a fann
er. Duliig pud npeaker and oarly
gaining tho respect and confidence of j
tho Democrats of Bradford county, he
was elected to the Legislature in 1840,
and again in 1847. During the last
session,John C. Knox and bimsolfledthu
Democrats against the opposition with
fearlessness und ability. Still contin
uing in tho Democratic party, Mr.
Pioletto was nominated by that organ
ization and the Grangers for Congress
in 1800, and beaten by Mr. Morcur by
1,001 majority. In 1808 ho was re
nominated for tho namo place, and
against tho same gentleman. This
timo he ran the majority in the district
Jownto311. In 1872, beingfor the third
time put upon tho track, ho fuiled to
socuro an election, as iu tlio ot her eases.
Tho district is one of the strongest Re
publican portions of tho atnte. When
tho war broke out betweon Mexico
and tho United States iu 1810, Mr.
Piolottwas appointed paymaster.which
placo ho held till the clime of the strug
gle. Ho is now engaged in farming
and stock raising in his t.ativo county.
IIo occupies a leading position in tho
Granger organization of his State, and
is looked upon as ono of the solid men
of northern Pennsylvania.

RINK AXJ) FALL OF KNOW
NOTUIXOISM.
A Rt.Tlloal'kCT Uf TWKNTT YKAHS.
The iiidusty with which bigotry and
partisan malevolence art) striving to
revivethedead embers of sectarian con
flict recalls the history of tho violent
Ivnow Nothing eptdenilo ot twenty
years ago. A bnel sketch ot that tem
porary outbreak ol popular Insanity,
its rapid rise and still more suddou
decline, muy, therefore, not be without
interest as will as profit at this timo.
In a country like this in which mliii.
ous liberty lies at the bottom of the
political system no docont pretext ex
isted for tho outbreak ot 1854, yet
there are somo who believe that in
spite of tbo lesson of that time another
such cpidomio Is about to break forth.
1 hey hour tho same sectarian cries, the
sumo low appeals to Ignorance and prej
udice, the sumo slang about the 1 ope,
which tilled the air twenty voars airo.
and they are preparing themselves for
a new invasion ot jvuuw Aotumgism.
But like the Asiutio cholera, the dis-
oaso is by no means as violent as when
it mado its first appearance. In tho
generally increased intelligence of tho
body politic is found a better moans
of resisting tho approaches of tho dis-
euae, bo that the present aouossioa of
iv now iotuingism resembles the first
outbreak as much as the varioloid duos
a malignant type of small pox.
In 1H04 tho Domocrutio party waa in
power in the national governniont and
in most of tbo states, while there wore
no questions of foreign or domestic
policy to disturb tho harmony of the
country. Of the foreigners whoorowd
cd to our shores nine out of ten, upon
uaturnlir.Htion, joined the Democratic
parly. They hud no sympathy wilh
the whig purly, which was already in
Ibo throes of dissolution, and the ilo
publicau paity had hot yot arisen to
attmcl them with humanitarian ap
iwuls against slavery. Among these
naturalized citisens were many of the
Irish and Gorman fugitives of 1848,
whose talents, as well aa sufferings in
tbo cause of political liberty, bad given
tbem much prominence, and who were
beginning to tako an active part in
political affairs. A strong feeling
against naturalised citisens was thus
engendered in the political minority,
who bad no difficulty in persuading
themselves of tbo danger arising from
this kind of foreign influence on the
govurnmuiilof thocountry. Had those
uaturnliaod citizens joined tbo Whig
party tbo dunger from their interfer
ence in politics would, in tho estima
tion of tho leaders of that party, havo
been materially lessened ; but they in
sisted on being Democrats. At this
time Judge Campbell, of Pennsylvania,
a Catholic, waa Post Master General
of tho United Slates, a political fuct
which was soon put to immense use in
Siviiig an imiietus to the spirit of Know
othingisiu. Whenever a nuturalizod
citizen or a Catholic received an ap
pointment ol postmaster it waa at once
attributed to tho sinister influence of
tbo Pope in the affairs of the republic.
During the winter and apring of 1854
secret societies wcro formed in the
principal cities and towns of tho oast
und gave the first docided proofs of
their existence in tho municpal elections
of tho spring of that year. By somo
the political changes indicated in these
elections wore attributed to the feeling
aroused by tho repeal of tlio Missouri
compromise, the bill for which was
then beforo Congress. Hut another
and very different influence was at
work. The Know Nothings had or
ganized on tho basis of hostility to
Catholics and citizena of foreign birth,
and were preparing for a crusade of
political proscription that soon extended
over most of tho states of the Union.
Tbe last Whig convention tbat ever
assembled in Pennsylvania met and
nominated James Pollock for Governor,
George Daraic for Canal Commissioner,
and Daniel M. Smyser for Supreme
Judge. The resolutions against foreign
inmioiice suoweu tnuiine Know Hom
ing spirit wus in full control of tho con
vention. ,
Then commenced a campaign of
fraud, mendacity and chicanery never
equalled in Iho political annals of Penn
sylvania. Know Nothing lodges were
termed in all parts of the stato. There
was scarcely a remote hamlet into
which the fanaticism did not penetrate
In imitation of othor secret aociotiea,
thoro were signs of recognition, pass
words, grips and solemnities of initia
tion. The neophyte upon entering
the lodge, took a solemn oath to sup
pert for ofllco no Catbolio or citizen
of foreign birth. Ho also promised
implicit obedience to all the decrees
of he lodge. Aa if ashamed of the'
purposes of the organization, as its
members well might be, tho meetings
of the order wore held at unusual hours
and in the most secret places. Ap
plicants for admission were initialed
in barns, in outhouses and under cul
verts, and the belated novitiates has
tened to thoir homos lost they might
be waylaid by tho emissaries of tho
Pope. " Duplicity and lying wore in
culcated as political virtues. Bworn
members of the ordor accompanied
Gov. Biglcr in hia political campaign,
addressed tho people from tho aame
platform, possessed themselves of such
secrets as might bo useful to thoir
socrct friends, and returned to vote for
Pollock. They supported candidates
for nomination in the conventions of
their party whom they botrayed at
tho ballot box. The secret decreo of
tho midnight lodge waa binding on the
consciences of all who belonged to the
order. Tho members wore authorized
and enjoined to declare publicly that
they know nothing of tho oxiBtonco of
such a political organization, whence
nrosotho popular designation of Know
Nothing which Iho order assumed.
Tho cloetion camo, and Pollock was
chosen Governor by a largo majority.
As Mr. Darsie's mother had beon gild-
ty of tbo political crime of giving him
birth nn the passage to tlio I nited
Stntca it waa decreed in tho aocret
councils ot Know Nothingism that ho
waa Ineligible to the ofllco of canal
commissioner, and Henry S. Mott, a
Democrat, who had no connection with
the order, was elected by a majority
of one hundred and ninety thoutand votes.
Tho eighty odd thousand votes, received
by M r.barsio were what remained of the
Whig party of Pennsylvania. All the
rest had been swept into tho slimy
pool of Know Nothingism, and the
party never again reared its head in
tho Slate,
Elated by tho extent of their victory
in Pennsylvania and othor states, tbo
Know Nothings prepared themselves
for its enjoyment. Thoy aaw beforo
them in imagination a long and daz
zling vista of political powor. No
longer hiding under culverts and slink
ing in out houses they camo forward
mid boasted of thoir work. Their next
movement was to be tho election of a
President on tbo platform of proscrip
tion of Catholics and naturalized citi
zens. Hut their triumph was destined
to bo short-lived. As soon as Know
Nothingism emerged to tho light of
day and its aims bocamo recognized it
melted away benoath tbe hot wrath
of Iho people. Its foil was as aud-
den ns its riso. Horn in tho shadow
this misbegotten monster could not
stand oxposuro to the light. It had
un lertaken to mako impious and cow
ardly wr.r dth tho most saored prin
ciple erf 'AfhirrliOT Jihorly. Vbci its
followers rtobvered frliui lliifir error

Somo lime ago the Pillsbiirgli Even-1
ing Trlctjraih wanted to know: I
"Can any practical and sensible lle-i
Imblicun friend of temperance stultily ;
ilmself by siipMirting a faction that!
does not expect to succeed ?" :
. IJobert Autlley Hrown, the prohibi-j
lion caudiutte lor liovornor ot l'onu
aylvania, in his letter of aocoptanco,
makes the following reply :
"We are also warned that by our
separate action we will he responsible
for the destruction of 'the only party
that can save the country,' as if a
purty can save the country which can
no longer save itself. In contradis
tinction to all this, the flint need ofl
tho hour ia that citizena ahull tench
their public servants that conscience is
an element in American politics never
to be abandoned ; that the senseless
ness and tomorily of juirty leadera w ho
ignore the conacionco of enlightened
and virtuoua citizens and count on
their votes to ondorse unrightiious acts,
must ho rebuked by those very votes,
and that if purtios follow tboir leaders
to a merited destruction, new and
healthful organizations will arise and
fill their place and accomplish their
destiny tbe better, as they take warn
ing by tho fate of parties before them
that have once been powerful but have
perishod Jor their sins. Our own party
represents tho spirit of reform de
manded by the times."
Gov HiULr.n. An interviewer of tho
Philadelphia Time, visited Mr. lliglor,
on Friday morning at the Uirard House
in that city, and reports as follows :
"Tho late hour at which the nows of
the nomination reached the city, be
ing at 2 o'clock this morning, found
few about to boar the news. A few
lingered about the Girard House.whoro
dispatches wore received giving the
dill'eront ballots. Governor Uigler
was thore, but retired before the
sovcuth bullot was reported. He was
ontirely prepared to hear that auother
tban himself was the favorite, and re
ceived tho nows of Pershing's nomina
tion not only philosophically, but with
evident contentment. After the adop
tion of tbe inflation platform, Governor
Biglcr really preferred not to be the
candidate. He is not, at war with his
party on tho issue, although he is more
conservative than tho plullbrm on the
currency question, but bo preferred a
contest on Stato issues with which he
was identified, whilo he felt unequal,
physically, to tbo desperate aggressive
campaign tbo supremacy of tho cur
rency issuo requires, lie believes that
tbat tho battle will bo fought now on
tbe money question, and that villi!
issues of Statu and miinicipul policy
will of necessity bo overlooked. The
Governor's rest was evidently not dis
turbed by tho result of the convention."
