WE are inform-i that Gc-orgo Wil liam Curtis was "vociferously cheered" every time he made his ap|>earance in the New York Republican Htatc Con vention, and that when his name was called a- a delegate there was "enthu siastic applnusc." This sounds very well, but the result of the ballot for j Governor shows that "vociferous j <dicen" and "enthusiatic applause" embraced alwut everything in the ! way of allegiance to the "man Mil ! liner" that the convention had to of j fer. When it came to voting the del egates promptly stopped their fooling 'And followed the plumed hero of Cau onchet. IT is said the implacable enemies of Gen. Fit* John l'orter are persistent lin preparing the bark-bone of Mr. j Hayes to veto any hill that may lie j passed by Congress to do justice to : this gallant nnd much wronged sol- I dier. What County Offleors aro to bo Elootod. A question lias been riiiacil in rclu tion to the county officers to be elect ed in Centre county thin fall. The cull of the chnirnmu of the Democrat ic County Committee afiecifiea hut one office to be filled—that of Jury Com missioner—hut it has been asserted that a Csninty Surveyor and a Coroner should also he elected to fill vacancies that now exist in those offices. In re gard to th! office of Surveyor there is no vacancy. The law providing for the election of county surveyors pro vides that a county surveyor shall he elected for a term of three years. The same law provides further that "In case of a vacauey occasioned by death, resignation, removal or other wise, it shall he the duty of the Court i of (Quarter Sessions of the proper J county to appoint a eom|stcnt person, i ln ing a practical surveyor, to fill such . vacauey until the time prescrilied by ! this act for the election of said offi cers." The act of Assembly provid- j ing for the election of county survey ors was passed 9th of April, 1850. 1 County Surveyors were first elected in ' this State on the second Tuesday of October, 1850, for the term of three j years, and uuder the provisions of the act of that year they were to lie elect ed every third year thereafter. That makes I*Bo the year for the election of a county surveyor. The day of' election under the new constitution is now in November. William P. Mitchell was elected in 1871, resigned iu 1875, when Joseph Devling, Kiq., was. appointed by the proper court to (ill the vacancy. Iu 1*77 Mr. Ellis Lytic was voted for, hut it was without proclama tion by the sheriff, and the election was held to Ik? void. The Court de sired to ap|siiut Mr. Lytic, who had received a large vote, hut when that gentleman learned that lie would Ik obliged under the law to keep his i office in llellefonte he declined to re ceive the appointment. Mr. Devling was again appointed, ami by the law , his term coutinucs until the first day of Januarv, 1881. As to the office of coroner we know that I >r. Constance Cambridge was j elected in 1878; whether Dr. Cam bridge ever qualified and lifted his commission the writer doe* not know. If there is n vacancy it is the business of the Governor to fill such vacancy I _ bv appointment till the next general election. If it is the duty of the coming county convention to nominate it coroner they can do so. There is no rule or law that require* the chair man to *|>ecify in the call why the convention is called. It has Iwcn ens- i tomary for the chairman's proclama tion to contain a summary of what the convention is to do. The rail of the present chairman is made in strict accord with this usage and custom. ♦ Ok r of the licautics of civil service ( reform as prartieed by the present ad mi uist rat ion is illustrated by a little : thing that has just seen the light of •lay. It appears that there is a color ed elerk iu the office of the Third Au ditor of the Treasury, Cbarlea Is-mos i by name, who draws the handsome salary of $ 1;000 per annum. It has long Ik-cii a wonder to the other clerks and attache* of the same office wlint i his dutie* were, us he never performed I " any in their department. It has just transpired that Lcmo* is a tonsorial artist, and that his clerical duties con sist in keeping the hair of the fraud ulent President from standiug on end ; curling the ambrosial locks of the poetic Ilodgcrs, his private secretary, and in anxiously awaiting the ap|cnr anceof Webb Hayes' mustache. Thus we glide. THE Sherman boom thus far has not been a success. His sjieeche* in Mnine were considered damaging—his tour in Ohio abandoned for the same reason, and the efTeetual failure of Fenton and other friends to capture the New York Republicans from Couk ling, places this bold manager of the Hayes Presidential fraud largely at a discount. Tin: administration are no doubt much gratified with the nomination of the man they ejected from the office of Burveyor of Customs for incompeten cy, as the Republican candidate for Governor of New York. Conkling's I*mm now overshadows the Hhorman boom, and the wily Secretary is cor respondingly happy. . # . "tea The Government Finance*. The correspondent of the New York Journal of (hmmerce has been favored by the Treasury officials with a statement of Iho receipts and expenditures of the Soverninent lor the fiscal year ending une 30, 1879. As this is the statement which will be embodied in the next an nual report of Secretary Khcttnan it is replete with interest. Summarized and compared with the three preceding fis cal years the statement is as follows : lUv-Hl'ls.

At the same time the receipts for 1879 were not so large by some $13,000,000 as those for 1876. The lsst fiscal year shows an increase over I*7B in the cus toms revenue of $7,079,367.50. The profits on account of coinage amount for the year to over $1,500,000. Turn ing to the other side of the account it appears that, while the receipts show an increase of some $16,000,000, there was an advanco in expenditures ol over $30,000,000. The course of the Treasury since 1*76 is thus indicated : "At the end of the fiscal year 1*76 the receipts exceeded the expenditures by $29,022,211.83; in 1877 bv $30,340,577. 69; in I*7B bv $20,799,551.90; in 1879. by only $6,879,300.93."

To make matters worse, when the record of the current fiscal year shall have heen made up it will show still greater extravagance. The Journal tJ : (iwnwirrtt corres;on<lent recalls the late official statement from the Treasury Department announcing a decrease in the cost of collecting the customs reve nue at several of the larger ports for 1879 as compared with the cost tor I*7*. The showing was, of course, favorable to John Sherman's administration. Hut it apr-ear* that the total cost ot col looting the customs revenue for 1*79 was $19,025,452.84, a* against $17,412.- 717.33 for I*7B. It is thus seen that outside of the two or three large ;>orta, the cost of collection was increased in 1*79 about $2,000,000. Tins mean* that extra jiatronsge having the money value named was distributes! by Candi date Sherman's agents at the various minor Custom Houses of the country during the last fiscal year, although for that |eriod the cost of collection, hal ing reference to the universal decline 1 in price* and the wage* of labor, should have heen loosened. The per sistent tendency of the government toward increased expenditure*, while the cost of living and individual ex pense# have been decreasing, affords food for a ileal of reflection on the part of the people. Thn lesson to Ik- en forced is that a greater degree of vigi lance in lookiog after the acta of public officials of every class must come about if government ol the people and for the |>eople is to endure. The CDII Right* of Indian*. Kx Governor Horotio Seymour and ex llepresentative W. J. Bacon, of Ctica. N. Y.. have signed the annexed appeal for the civil right* of Indian*: "Thequestion of the right of Indian* to claim the protection of the law, which ha* attracted the attention of the public since the hata-as corpus for the re!oa*e of Standing Hear, the I'on ca chief, is one which we deem of vast imjHirtance. All those who sympathize with the Indian* and desire that they should have thn same right* before the court* that we accord to all other human l>eing* now have an opjKirtuni ty to give practical aid to secure that otject. The |>ople of the North re proach the iK-ople ot the South for the wrong* of slavery, yet there never was a time when they were not allowed to have their cases tried before the courts. Surety we should take care that the American people do not lay themselve* open to the charge that in this respect they uphold a denial of that justice which wa* never withheld from the slaves in the South, when they were subject to the utmost rigor of the law* which made them the property of oth er*. We therefore appeal to the be nevolent everywhere to send in contri butions for that nurjKKie. F.minent counsel have offered their service# free of charge, and the money asked for is to pay witne** fees and court ex penses." • lace far Sarah, from Pari. I-*UT. A friend of mine has just been shown a piece of trimming destined to adorn one of the stage dresses of Mile. Sarah Bernhardt.

This rich and elaborate trimming was marie to order from a design furnished by the artist art res* herself, and ita cost is SSO per yard. A narrow passementerie to match ha* heen made for the waist of the dress ; this is comparatively reasonable, its price being only $lO a yard.
