the district member of the committoo.
Wo will publish tho proceedings in full
next week.
HM. L. SCOTT, ESQ.
Tbo llurrisburi; Patriot, in alluding
to the selection of'tbagontlomau named,
says : "As in tho cao of tho Chairman
of tho Stato Central Committee tho
LancnsterConvenlion assumed directly
tho power of selecting tha Pennsylva
nia roomlxT of tho National Democratic
Executive Committoo. Though this
ia a departure from tho recent custom
of tho party in both instances no ono
will be ablo to successfully dispute tho
power of the Convention in tho prem
ises. The selection of Wm. Scott,
esq., of Erie, was fortunate in every
respect and will givo general satisfac
tion to tho party. . Mr. Scott was strong
ly supported by bi frionds from tho
western portion ol the Stato for ono of
the dclcgatcs-ut-largo to the National
Democratic Convention, but In the
conflict of claims from tbat section it
was found impossible to nnito upon
him
As a member of tho National :
Executive Committoo ho is in a posi
tion in which he will be able to exert
his abilities and influenco in a much
more effective way in behalf of tho
party than in tho temporary capacity
of a delegate to tho St. Louis Conven
tion."
Mr. Scott, resides at Erie, and is
personally known to many of our citi
tens. Ho was pitted against Mr. Sco
field, fwr Congress, while our county
was tbrasked in with Eric. No better
selection could havo been made.
A Rapioai. Watcbxb. A correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Pretl, who
bad found his way into tho Democratic
State. Convention at Lancaster, iu giv
ing hi view among other sayings, re
mark thus: "Still further back, on
this side, we sco tho rcpre.icntatives
from Carbon, Monroe, Piko, Bradford,
Wyoming, York, Ccntor, Clearfield,
Clinton and Schuylkill. Tho apostle
of soft-money i not among those from
I the last mentioned county. He fool
tbat too election ol November ended
his career so fur a tbo advancement ot
his views are concerned, and he there
fore absents himself. To tbe right aro
the delegate from Delaware, Bucks,
Berks, Chester, and tho majority of tho
other counties, Wm. A. Wallaco
among tho number. Ho is closely
watching the preliminary prooeodlnga.
Not a move escapes bis kocn observa
tion. A debnlo springs up on tho ref
erence of all roolutions which may bo
offered to tho commitUje on Resolu-
lion. Light u eights art on the floor
opposing such action, and thoir unin
teresting arguments arc rather heated.
Suddenly the "gentleman from Clear
fiold" i rucogiiUcd, and Senator Wal
laco in a few sharp remarks, listened
to with tbe closest attention, point
out tho trao policy of the party. The
convention bow to his will, swinging
around in support of what bo charoc
toriios a tho custom of half a century
of Democratic usage. And now the
appointment of the several committee
railed for i undertaken."
CnBA. It is easily aald, "Let no
guilty man escape," even if bo should
be tbe President of the Toiled States.
A special dispatch to tho Now York
Evening 7W, Republican, say that n
loiter wa written to Honry Clows by
Secretary Boutwell "in September,
1872, directing Clew to send (00,000

Whntovcr may have been tho rola-

tho disclosure about the Kentucky
Central itailrond, wo don't think they
can bo made to answer tho political
purpose contemplated by Won. Bon
Butler: ' '
Butler went to Washington with
Mr. li. G. Juyno as his chief of titnff,
and Mrs. Kenton and Mrs. Coles as tho
right and left wings of his forces. No
doubt thoso two Indie, it tboy woro to
mako a clean breast of it, could report
a great deal of acandnl, tlosccnding
from Bcpublioinsliltc Grnnt and Demo
crats like Pendleton down to gentle
men In the lower strata of speculation
and adventure. Hut that is not a busi
noss with which tbe public can now be
permanently occupied ; tboro is more
serious work on hand.
Very likely Jlutlor is inspired by
Corsonal malice against Pendleton;
ut his groat object is to divert atten
tion from Grantism, and to turn tbe
committee from investigating lurthor
into tbe rascalities of the Bepublican
Administration. He is following up
the attack! on Mr. Clymor, the charge
in regard to Marsh flight, and the
dramatic exhibitions of Mr. Bluine and
bis associate in the House. They
hope in this way to divert the Indigna
tion excited by the corruption in the
War Office and in othor executive de
partments, nnd to tlx the public eye
olaowbere. But this cannot bo.

Tin Black Hilij Paradise. Fur
ther news is received concerning tbe
situation at the Black Hills. The rush
thither of men and boy continues, and
the hotul keepers and merchants along
1110 route naturally tlo their best to keep
it up. Ills a Honour. fur them. Mean-
whilu tho Hills are full uf men, most of
whom seem to be making nothing audi
many nroalready duxlituto. Numbers
are working their way back, and the
Indians nro oiiroiiir.iiiir tiir a urunil
movement against tha intrude! in the
early sprint:. Au old minor, rcturnim;
(fold In the Black Hills it is so ileen iu
the bowels of Iho earth tbat the men
thuro will never fun! it. In my opiu-
ion, all tho gold that will bo taken
from tho Hills will be in tho pockets
of tho store keepers, who have swoop
ed down on the place, like a lot of vul
tures. This is a magnificent harvest
for the hotel-keeper and merchants in
Chyenne and Laramie, and tboy keep
up the excitement." Tho aame letter
from which tbi information is derived
adds: "Nearly all who kave returned
from tko Hill seem satisfied that they
kave wasted timo and monov." The
very fact tbat tbey return should be
proof enough tbat they have boon dis
appointed.

It is a proverb in the western coun
try that it is a good augury tor the
husinorw prosperity of any pluce to see
tbe Jowa flockinir Into it. Tbcv nro
the. people who know wboro money is
to be made. Tho same thing may well
be said of the Chinamen, who, iu con
siderable number, now begin to be
"con on tbo streets. They acem to
I havo tho intuitive sense which directs
them to tho spot where money is or is
to lie. It is therefore with pleasure
that wo note the fact that whereas
three yours ago the appenrunru on a
ritlsuurgh auluwalK ol thenueer lilousc.
baggy iianls and sallow fuee of ono of j
these Mongoliun stranger, wa. .tha
signal for a great crowd of men Hid
boys to lorni an inquisitive and tm
i pertinent pmceraion around and Iw
hind him, to-day not evon the smull
oy looks up from his marbles, and no
man or Woman turn his rye. to follow
the chinamen who are soon on our
streets they have become so common.
This 1 as it should be. No better
class of citucens could come lo u. than
these intelligent, faithful, inoffensive
and honest people. They aro an ad
dition to our populition which enriches
tbe whole community. They do not,
a they cannot, com in sack numbers
a tu threaten scriou competiUm with
ny other class of our iwople. Tbey
simply fill the interstices ot our bust
ness life and do something for ns all,
better than we can do them ourseivos.
Socially their coming make little dif
ference. Tbey do not intend to die
unywhere out of China. They are
"heathen,'' of course, but they are ox
emplury in their liro and dealings.
The Christianity we boast of will be
best shown by outdoing them in this
rcsiiect, and ky treating them in a
Christian I. e., in a just and htir man
