KESoLtTIOKH.
The Democratic party of Centre county,
by its delegates in convention assembled,
resolves,
I-t. That wu endorse tho platform
adopted by tin* Democratic Slate Conven
tion as a correct exposition of the princi
ples and purposes of the Dertiocrntic party
of Pennsylvania.
2nd. That in Daniki. *>. Hakk the
Democracy of Pennsylvania have a candi
date tor the important office of rjtate
Treasurer entitled to public confidence and
worthy of popular sup|M>rt. In an eminent
degree he embodies the Jeffersonian stand
ard of "honesty and capacity," and his
election, in the words of the resolution of
the convention that placed him in nomina
tion, "will preserve the commonwealth
from any repetition of the systematic em
bezzlements of interest and other radia
tions which marked the long and scanda
lous career of the Republican treasury
ring."
3rd. That the finding of the Electoral
Commission which deprived the choice of
the people of his rightful fat a, Execu
tive of the nation, was a blow at free,
elective government which deserves and
should receive the just condemnation of
all honest men, and common justice de
mands that SAMLXL J. TIM'KX should
once again receive the nomination of the
Democratic party for the Presidency in
1,-SO.
4th. Thnt we recognize in tho lion.
Wtli.iam A. Wallace a statesman of
Commanding . ability, power and useful
ness. A* one of mil representatives in the
Senate of tho I'niU-d Stales we most
heartily commend him for his laborious
reio-arch and aide and exhaustive presenta
tion of facts bearing upon correct princi
ples of constitutional governmint; for his
tirm and unwavering stand against the un
constitutional ami destructive centralizing
tendencies of tho Republican party ; and
for his energetic and fearless effurts to
pom- and repel the wicked attempts of the
Republican leaders to coerce and over-ride
the popular will by Federal power, civil
and military, at the elections of the
people.
6th. That we approve and endorse the
general course of our Representatives at
HarrUburg, the lion. V. T. Al.xx ANtixn,
in the Senate, and the lions. J. P. Get
lIART and \V. A Murray in the IJouseof
Representatives during the late session of
the State legislature. In an atmosphere
of corruption, and amidst llagrant attempts
to ilehauch the legislation of the Slate,
no stain of suspicion or reproach dis.
honored oneoftnem. Honest where many
were venal, they proved themselves able
and efficient in the discharge of their sev
eral duties ; attentive and faithful to the
interests of their constituents, and de
serve the high encomium of "Well done,
good and faithful servants."
Clh. That we believe that at the general
election, held on November 6, 187*. Hon.
Anuhxw G. Ct'RTi!* receives! a majority
of all the legal votes cast for tho office of
Representative in Congress from the 20th
District of Pennsylvania, and that he was
therefore duly elected to the said office.
And we most heartily endorse his course
in contesting the right ot Sis op|oncnt to
a seat in the Ifilh Congress.
7th, That as tho most efficient way of
disseminating a knowledge of Democratic
principles, and the best preparation for the
Presidential campaign of I*l*l, we recom
mend the increased circulation of Demo,
cralic newspapers.
*lh. That we recommend to the voters
of this county, the ticket this day nomi
nated, as one in all respects worthy of
their support.

Messrs. Hayes. Sherman and Hchurx in
sist on creeping the Administration
with this revival of business, while the
common sense of the people compels
them to declare that the improvement
has come not by the aid, but in spite of
the Administration. Mr. Hayes should
note the broad distinction, fie may as
well claim honor for the "sweet fields
arrayed in living green and rivers of da
light" as ask to be commended for the
fact that this young and vigorous coun
try, with its measureless resources, is
recovering from depression largely due
to loug-oontinued mal administration.

Beyond the argument* on the stump,
distribution of political literature, bull
dozing of employe* and 'United State*
pensioner*, tlto Republican* employed
a lever which was more powerful and
effective than all the other* combined :
via : money. They evidently had a
large fund and they expended it judi
ciou*ly and to the be*t advantage. It
waa rained at home, and the National
committee gave permission to the State
committee to druw upon it for a* large
a Hum a* might be neceasary to buy the
State. All the Republican State and
National official* were assessed five per

on his salary of $,S5<), ami I suppose he

had he refused, A country |K>*tmaster
in this district, with a salary of $l5,
was forced to disgorge $2.25 as his
share of the fund. Voters were bought
in this city like sheep in the shambles,
and the same was true of the other
cities and many of the larger towns in
the State. The price paid for vote*
varied,.and was somewhat smaller than
in former year*. I am told that $5. $lO,
$l5 and $2O were paid, and in some
instances $2O and $5O, and even us high
assls were paid fora Mingle vote in the
close district*. The buying was carried
on to some extent by both sides, but
the Republicans had a fund lilty times
a* large as their opponents, and easily
outstripped them in this race. It it an
encouraging thought that alter next
year, if the biennial constitutional
amendment be adopted, as now appears
to be the case, the moral sense of the
people will not be offended by the dis
graceful spectacle of vote buying but

proportion between the cost of collect
ing the internal revenue and the eti*
twins revenue is very great. Nome in
teresting facts appear from a study of
the amount of revenue derived from
custom* and from internal revenue and
the cost of collecting the same r<-|rert
ively from the year 1*63 to I*7*. Thus
during the closing years of the war.
when the internal revenue service had
just lieen organised, the cost of collec
tion ranged only from 0,1 ft to 0.29 per
cent, for amounts Increasing from $.;7,-
6411,7*7 to $.1111.161.21.1. w lule tlie cost of
the custom* revenue was from 4ft to
6 39 per cent, in collecting from $69,.
059.642 to $102,314,152. Then the eost
of collecting the internal revenue rose
as high a* 530 per cent, in I*7l, but
fell afterward to 2.99 and 2.96 per cent,
for 1*77 and l*7s, the amount collected
being $| Ift ,(>.10.407 and $110,5*1,624 re
spectively. Meanwhile the cost of cof
lecting the customs revenue has for the
last five years ranged between 4.47 and
3 96 per cent., while the amount collect
ed each of the last two years ha* been
about $130,000,000.

In n pamphlet recently publish'-,!,
the author, ProbMor Orimmrr, a**,-rt :
' From IfWi to IMH7 will be on* univer
hl carnival of death." Asia will If de
fioiiulated, Europe nearly no. America
will loae fifteen million |>eople. I'o-ai tic*
plague we are Ui have Rtorma and tidal
wave*, mountaind are to "Unm their
headn through the choic**t valley*,''
navigator* will be lout by tbou*and
owing to "the capriciou* deflexure* of
the magnetic needle," and Ulandi will
appear and diaappear in midocean.
All the beaata, bird* and finbe* will be
diaeaaed, famine and civil strife will
destroy rno*t of the human being* left
alive by plague; and, finally, "two year*
of fire"—from 188.7 to 1887—will rage
with fury in every part of the globe. In
1887 the "Star of Bethlehem" will "re
appear in ' aaniopia'* Chair," the imme
diate renult* being univeraal war and
portentio-j* fl'md* and shipwreck*.
North America is again to be involved
in a civil war, unless a "Napoleon arise
to <|iie)l it ; but during tho*e terrible
day* the I'm ific State* will be a verita
ble Paradise of Peace compared to the
great strife that will be waging through
out the world."
From what the Professor gather* all
these absurd statements it is difficult Us
imagine, but the the few who survivfh
till I ""87 will have reason to be thankful.
In the quarries opened for stone for
the Middle Penitentiary an unusual
number of fossils are being revealed.
