The "Republican State Convention" will meet at the" HerdicHouse," in Wil liamsport, on Wednesday, the 26th of June next, at 10 o'clock, A. m., to nomi nate a candidate forjudge of the Supreme Court, and to initiate proper measures for the ensuing State canvass.

The election for members to a constitu tional convention for the State of New York came off in that Stateon Tuesday of last week and resulted in the choice of a majority of Republicans. According to the returns the political complexion of the convention will be as follows: Democrats. Republicans. Delegates at large, 16 16 District delegates, 44 84 The " reaction" which copperheails so confidently predicted had commenced in j Connecticut, has riot extended as yet he- | yond the limits of the land of wooden ; nutmegs, but according to the above has j rather retrograded, as the Republicans succeeded far beyond their expectations. Sonic Difference. A republican mass meeting was held at Beaufort, South Carolina, oti the loth April, at which B. H. Cleaves, a colored : man, presided, delivering an eloquent ad dress from which we quote the following paragraph : "We rejoice to know that the Great j" Architect of the universe, the great Jeho- j vah. in his divine wisdom, put it into the hearts of a majority of the American peo ple to elect a man of true republican prin ciples as chief magistrate of the nation, who iu good time proclaimed all men free throughout the whole country. And to day, the loth of April. 1867, is the second anniversary of the death ofthat good man, our much lamented President Abraham Lincoln, a name that will ever be held sacred by all true lovers of Liberty. Yes! my friends, lie died a martyr for the cause of freedom. We will therefore prove our selves worthy by using all honorable means to preserve the Union upon the fundamental principle of the Declaration ! of Independence, which declares that all I men are created equal." It is somewhat remarkable that in all the speeches and proceedings of the black man South a deep reverence for the Crea- i tor pervades every movement, while the sound sense and often eloquent language 1 of the degraded raee awaken astonish ment, j not, only among northern men but even with those who but lately regarded the ! colored man sis a brute. In strange con trast with this and hundreds of other speeches made by freedmen, is the follow- ! ing from the Memphis Appeal, edited by , Albert Pike, a white rebel, who incited the Indians to rise against the whites during the rebellion, afterwards pardoned by Andrew Johnson, and now spitting forth the demoniac venom of a fiend. In an article on the North, he says: "Bankruptcy, foreign war, internal ha treds, a hell of fire thinly crusted over new dissensions, separations, strifes, new rivers of blood, repeated decimations', new lightnings of the red deserved wrath of God, the corroding stains of innocent blood upon the soul, the insensible horrid lajise into the most hideous of despotisms, all the Dantesque horrors of the infernal regions that the shades of dead nations, tortured inhabit—all these stare upon them out of the grim silent darkness of the future days." What Christian man, what honest or decent white man, would for a moment hesitate to prefer the black to the white man in this case? Yet we have men in this county, in this town, who would not hesitate to take the Indian scalper by the hand and feel honored in walking by his and at the same time shriek out " wqjiicr" at the humble Gleaves.

EgL/rhere is no reason whatever why grain and flour should be at the enormous prices they are.

This is a new feature in Southern political meetings, and we fear will wound the feelings and offend the conservative sensibilities of the "reconstructed" chiv alry. Fields of Dock. —The root of yellow dock, so troublesome to farmers, is an ef fectual alterative and a most valuable med icine. In the neighborhood of Lowell, Dr. J. C. Aver & Co. have planted fields of it, where they raise many tons at a crop. It is grown like the carrot or beet, in drills, and its quality or properties have been much improved by cultivation. It is one of the ingredients in Ayer's Sarsapariila, and, we are informed, the extraordinary virtues of this preparation are largely due to the extract of this root that it contains. The Sarsapariila root, used by this firm, is grown 011 plantations of their own, in Honduras, to secure an article of superior and wholly reliable quality. One of the reasons for the universally acknowledged superiority of their medicines, may be seen in the watchful care that is used in preparing them. — Vermont Statesman. Special Notices.

Jiivcnilc Tragedy. A Little Son of Judge Reeves Fatally Shot in a Quarrel with a Playmate. We have received information of a dis tressing affair which occurred at Somer ville, Fayette county, 011 Saturday even ing last. A difficulty occurred between a little son of Judge Reeves, of the Cir cuit Court, eleven years old, and another lad about the same age, son of Dewitt Moseby. Young Reeves caught Moseby by the collar with the left hand and was about striking him with the right, when the latter drew a revolver, and placing it against Arthur's breast, fired. The ball passed through the breast, and it is sup posed through the heart, lodging under the skin in the back. He fell imme diately, exclaiming, "I am shot!" and died within a few minutes. Young Moseby was arrested and had a hearing yesterday before Judges Cox, Tucker and George. A boy named James Bell, about twelve years of age, who was in company with the two boys at the time of the occurrence, was the only witness. After the examination, young Moseby was bound over in the sum of two thou sand dollars, for trial at the Circuit Court. Young Reeves is represented to have been an unusual bright boy. Both families are plunged into profound sorrow by the oc currence. When will parents learn to discountenance the carrying of deadly weapons by their children. — Memphis (Tennessee) Post.
