Tho reduction of the voto in lioggs,
Bnrnsiilc mid Chest, is caused by the
uruclion of the boroughs of Wallacet on,
Burusiilo and Newburg, respectively,
within thoso townships since tho last
Governor's election. Tho loss in Bill,
Ferguson and Peun, is caused by tho
formation of tho now townshipol'G rcen-
wood, which was taken on of thoso
townships. Bell, nevertheless, nearly
held her own. licll and Covington
did bettor than any other porliou ol
tho county. These townships are
j -M,MvA mm H tho new general !m
. nr .. ,,mt.llt!1 , , vct they show thrilt
r"on' clnvtiin day over all others. .Tho
Ions in Osceola was on account of tho
late fire, and in Bradford, J'ecatur and
Pike, by staying at home.
Tho general result, however, is de
cidedly favorable when we tuko into
consideration the universal suspension
in tho lumber business. While the
Democrats lvt but 159 on 3,132, the
enemy fell short 178 on 1,995. Tho
Democrats in Bell, Brady, Covington
and Woodward, aro entitled to the
thanks of tho party for their turning
out. Bumside and luilich should not
bo forgotten, becauso the surroundings
in thoso two districts are awful black
as midnight and still they increased
their voto. Anybody can play Demo
crat in such townships as Brady, Cov-
ingUin
to 'ol
n, Morris, etc., but it takes pluck
ombat tho loyalists in Burnsido
and Gulich.
TUB DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
On Saturday last, according to pre
vious nolico, tho Democratic motnbors
of Congress mot in the Capitol, at
Washington, for the purpose of nomina
ting candidates for Speaker, Clerk, etc.
The caucus wai called to order by
Hon. Fernando Wood, ot New York,
upon whose motion Hon. L. Q. C. La
mar, of Mississippi, whs mndo Chair
man. After a speech from him, and
several preliminary motions, the caucus
proceeded to make nominations. Mr.
Clymcr, of Pennsylvania, nominated
Hon. Samuel J. Randall for Speaker;
Mr. Jlolnian, of Indiana, nominated
Hon. Michael C. liorr, of the samo
State, and Mr. Hewitt, of New York,

At tho close of tbo third ballot Mr.

self-possession, said :

this moiQont tho dillercnccs among

present a united front to our adversa

A UlTilK 1IEFOHM OX UAXT.
Wo notico by ihe Pittsburgh A'tt
liviinl JliJ'orm Tribune, that something
like a World's .tieform Convention is
to meet at Tyrone, on tho 28th of Do-'
cumber. Tho editor iu question says ;
" e ru Informed that the Tyrone
Couventieu of Labor itoformtrs promi
ses Ui be well attended. Invitations
will be extended to all Aciieit mrn. The
art uf tbll Cuuveutiou is not to play
into idu nanus ot some political party,
or favor utriain individuaU at saorittee
of principle, tun- does it propose to tinker
with remedies and half-way measures
toreeei'df ttitordert, but to reach It possi
ble to tliclottomwrongt which ufliict moi
ety, nud proclaim the real remediet needed.
U is to b simply a coufureuue of hoiutt,
intrllitjrnt workingnien, who desire to
sturt in the right path to bring about
prosperity to themselves us individuals,
and to the Nation nl large. Trirhnten
are expected to at& nt themselves. This
is not a mero greenback question. An
ocean of juiueiiliueks would not eradi
cate existing social derangements."
The italics are our own. None but
"honest men" will tuko a hand in this
reform movement, nor will "certain
individnals" be overlooked, nor will
tho Convention ."tinker" with "social
disorders," but dive right at "tho bot
tom wrongs which afflict society," and
"proclaim tho real remedies." This Is
not all. The body is to bo mado up
of "honest, intelligent" men, with a
codicil warning "tricksters to absent
themselves" for the purpose of "eradi
cating existing social derangements."
Well, wo confess we aro a little dis
appointed. Wo supposed tho pro
gramme of these "honest men" was to
rectify and euro political wrongs j but,
accordiugto Ibis ollicial announcement,
tbo only questions that aro to bo
treated by the Convention aro the
"social disorders" and "deraugumonts
which nllliot society." Wo learned
lroin outsiders that this Convention
would be composed of "honest" politi
ciuns ; but it appears now that it will
bo made 'up of clergymen, who are
HONESTLY looking" ainitnd for a
remedy to cure "social disorders.".
Well, go ahead Mr. Tribune, there is
room in that field for some "honest"
mutsionnries. Beware ofthejudases
who may como nosing arnuiid. Wo
will keep a lookout for tho "remedy"
it it comes this way. We hopo Cicai
field will send a big delegation. We
have got lots of material. Remember,
none but HONEST men will bo ad
mitted to seats among those who are
in search of "bottom wrongs."
TlllHO TEUM HTRA ICS.
One of tho deputy editors of tho
Philadelphia Press has commenced to
work up tho third term in earnest, nnd
ho begins in this way :

states that at least SEVEN out of tho
TH1IITY millions of dollars appropri
ated by the government for Pensions,

Too Pointed. An enthusiastic Rad-
ioal exchange wants to test the ques
tion in this way: "Well if the Hepab

tows's whisky ring raid, tho best way
to show it is to lorce all of the officials
who were Indebted to tho "crooked"

JAY COOKE VS. THE GOVKJIX
MEXT.
A Washington dispatch, of the 30th
till., says :
"Another interesting decision of tho
Supremo Court to-day wus in tho case
of the United Stales against Jny
Cooke ct Co. for the recovery of the
price paid lor tho redemption of eight
een 81.000 sovon-tbirty Treasury notes,
claimed lo bo spurious. The decision
below was that even though the firm
honestly believed tbo notes geniiino,
ami in good faith passed thesj to tho
Assistant Treasurer' of Iho United
States, and he,' under tho like belief,
received the notes and paid them, still
the Government was entitled lo recover
if the notes were not genuine; that
oven if received as genuine by the As
sistant Treasurer, lhat would not bind
the Government if tho notes were not
in fact genuine ; also, that the act ot
issuing the notes was a physical act,
and although tho notes wero printed
from the genuine plates in the depart
ment and were ull reudy to issue, yet,
if they were not In fact issued, they
wore not withiu ibe statute, and tho
Government must- rrrovcr. The de
cision hero reverses tho judgment and
remands tho cause of the Circuit Court,
with directions to revcrso tho judgment
of the District Court and send Iho
causo back for a now trial. The Chief
Justice delivered the opinion, Dis
senting, Justices Clifford, Field, and
Bru'lky. Mr. Justice Miller did nol
sit UT the hearing of the case, and
took no part in the decision,"

our Stale anS City authorities to the
uend t ice 1'resiuont, wore grand and
imposing. During tho five hour the
body lay in state in tbo old hall of In
dis ndeiico, 15,000 persons viewed It.
Th front of tb building was heavily
uiapiii hiiu lesiooneu, tne urapery ex-
twilling in loons its entire leolh : from
the windows silk Sag were displayed,
ami tno piiiars oj mo doorway wore
drained iu deep mourning, intertwined
wiih the American colors.
Tho display in the interior of th
nan was prunisti. in tho centre of the
room, supported by tho four pillars,
was a largo canopy formed of Ameri
can fb,igs, rising lent shaped to near
mo ceiling, anil edged by a wulo cur
tain of black bombaiiino trimmed
with heavy fringe. The four pil.
lars wore wrapped with national and
regimental flags entwined with Idack.
Beneath tho old oryaUil chandelier, in
tho centre, ftf the canopy, wa erected
a handsomo catafalque, covered with
black broadcloth and ornamented with
heavy folds ami rosettes of the same
material. In the east end of the room,
back of the John Hanrock chair, on
the platform, was an elaborate design
formed of silken flag surround inn a
bandsoine painting of tho coat-of-nrius
of Miissaebusotts. Tho walls of the
! room were ouvurvd with deep festoons
I of liliuk bombatine, looped up with
luiau MOM-iven, biiu Biniuar material
surrounded all the windows. The
table on which the Declaration of In
dependence was signed, was removed
Irom the platform, and in its place was
erected a stunt), about live foot high,
const rut-led in three stops ur rises and
covered wiih blsck broadcloth, on
which wort) placed a portion of the
floul tloooruliiiiiB ; square pedestals,
covered with black velvet in loose
fiihls, stood on each aide of this, also
for flowers.
.Msiiiii.F.soMg. It seoma almost im
possible for tho National authorities to
mind their own business. They aro
coiaslantly tryingto control everything.
The Chicago Tribune thinks that the
National Government ha about as
much to do with tho public sellout sys
tem as it has with tha aowerairo of
Chicago, or tbo spiritual condition of
tho (toltoulol. The reason, then, for
tho existence at Washington of a Bu
reau of Education, with variod salaried
officials and a mania for publishing
pamphlets, is not apparsut. It la the
easiest thing in the world to got Con
gross to establish, a bureau for some
thing or other, hut, tike most easy
things, it Is a bad thinir to do. The
statistic, however, compiled by the
bureau, are tnturoting and useful,
though, of con mo, they are gonorttlly
gathered irom Hlate amenta.
