The Republicans nre gloating over the defeat of Senator Thurman of Ohio, and assigning every reason hut the right one for bringing about the great calamity. For the loss of such , a man iu the councils of the nation is , indeed a calamity which will be real ized in all its fullness on his retirement from the positiou he fills with so much honest ability. Hut instead of his de feat Is ing caused, as alleged, by asuje p ised change of opinion on financial questions, a more reasonable and more truthful one will present itself, to ac count for the anxiety of the stalwart Republicans to strike him down. The able and courageous manner in which he met and antagonized their vile ef forts for the centralization of the pow er ami rights properly belonging to the States in the National Govern ment ; this, and the brave assault he made upon the l'aeific Railway steal in behalf of the people, to compel .this powerful monojKjly to provide for the liquidation of its obligations to the government, were sufficient in them selves to secure from the thieves the most envenomed hostility, and the most extravagant expenditure of mo ney by Gould and others to remove j him from the place he adorned, and from which he scourged the rascals so unmerciful y. Hut Senator Thurman in his retirement will still be a power greater than auy stalwart who may be chosen to succeed him. The act he had |iasseil, and which is now affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, requiring the Pacific monopoly to disgorge anil restore mil lions of its stolen plunder to the Trea sury of the people, will not lie forgotten in a day, nor lessen the respect which houest people will ever entertain for a brave and honest public servant. THE National Administration, un der the civil service of the Fraud, is becoming a very dignified body in deed. The member* of the Cabinet tinder the lead of the Fraud himself, ; have about resolved themselves into a traveling caravan —all appearing in turn before the people in the interest of political stalwartism. The last is Evarts, the Secretary qf State, in or ganizing a Grant boom in New York, subsisting ou boiled crow prepared for him by the shot-gun hero of Canon chct. The Secretary of the Treasury is to appear next under the same lash. Whether he will second the Grant boom, or prefer putting in some sly work for the Sherman boom, is to be seen. But taken all In all, theiqiecta cle is degrading. It is the first politi cal traveling Cabinet the country has ever been disgraced with, and Evarts and Sherman the first cabinet officers > ever appearing on the stump from the State and Treasury departments to ad vocate discord and appeal to public jauwion in favor of sectional divisions and geographical lines for political purposes. THK Brooklyn Eagle says that "the most far-seeing man in the coun try was Kuth*ford B. Hayes, when he declared against a second term for himself."

The Democratic State Convention adopted a series of resolutions which present to the people of Pennsylvania tlio issues involved in this political can vass. <>n these issues the intelligent and deliberate judgment ol tho Voters of the State is demanded. The nomi nation of Daniel O. Harr represents the affirmative of the propositions submit ted by the Democratic Convention, that of Samuel Duller the negative. A vote for Harr is therefore a vote to affirm theso propositions as a correct exposi tion of the principles of Republican government, while a vote for Duller is a vote to condemn them. Head, there fore, reflect and render an honest and patriotic judgment: That the just powers of the Federal Union, the rights of the States ami the liberties of the people, are vital parts of one harmonious system ; ami to save each part in its whole Constitutional vigor is to "save tho life of the nation." That the Democratic party maintains, as it ever has maintained, that the mil itary are, and ought to be, iu all things subordinate to the civil authorities. It denies, its it ever bus denied, the right of tho Federal administration to keep on foot at the general expense a stand ing army to invade the States for politi cal purposes without regard to Constitu tional restrictions, to control the people at the polls, to protect and encourage fraudulent counts of the votes, or to in augurate candidates rejected by the majority. The right to a free ballot is the right preservative of all rights, the only means of peacefully redressing griev ances and refotrning abuses. The pres ence at the polls of a regular military force and of a host of hireling officials, claiming the power toarreop!c assemble to express their sovereign pleasure at the polls, and in securing obedience to their will when legally expressed by their vote*. That Rutherford 11. Hayes having been placed in power against the well known and legally expressed will of tbs people, is the representative of a con spiracy only, and his claim of right lo surround the ballot boxes with tioops and deputy marshals to intimidate and obstruct the electors, and bis unprece dented use of the veto to maintain his unconstitutional and despotic power are an inkult and a menace to the country. That the Democratic party, as of old, favors a constitutional currency of gold ami silver, and of paper convertible into coin. That we are opj>oed lo the system of subsidies by the general government under which, during the period of He publican ascendancy, political rings and corporations profited at the people's expense, and to any approprisAAu of the public moneys or the public (TMlit to any object but tho public service. The leforins and economies enforced by the Demooyitic parly since its advent to |>ower in the low er home of Congress have saved to the people many million* of dollars, and we believe that a like result would follow its restoration to power in flie State of Pennsylvania. That the Democratic party being the natural friend of the workingman and having throughout ita history stood be tween him and oppreasion renews its expression of sympathy for labor and its promise of protection to its righU. That we look with alarm and appre hension upon the pretentions of the great transportation companies to be above the fundamental law of this commonwealth which governs all else within our border*, and until they ac cept the constitution of 1873 in good faith they should remain objects of the utmost vigilance and jealousy by both legislature and people. That the recent attempt under the personal direction of ruling Republi can leader* to debauch the legislature by wholesale bribery and corruption and take from the commonwealth four millions of dollars for which ita liabili ty had never been ascertained, la a fresh and alarming evidanoe of the aggres siveness of corporate power in collusion with political ring*, and should receive the signal condemnation of the people at .the polls. That the present condition of the State treasury, a bankrupt general fund and even schools and cbaritiea unable to get the money long since appropriat ed to their support, is a sufficient illus tration of the reckless financial mis management of the Republican party. —. — . 0 —_—- The loyal Republicans of Ohio hold the sutler in greater estimation than the soldier.

Centre county may he left behind in tiie dim distance as we advance into other and neighboring counties, but every object which meet* the eye re minds of Nomething left at homo. Not tlint there i* any sameness in the char acter of the soil of .huiiatn, Adams and Cumberland counties, as compared with Centre ami Mitllin, hut the like ness is striking in minute detail* which moat suggest themselves to near neigh bors and citizens of the same common < wealth. In Adams and Juniata, mi age |of rusticity is creeping on them una wares, and where you not uncommonly J meet a thunder gust saw mill ready for ; use there is an undeniable mark of pro i gross, hut a march behind the age ; j only in a certain degree, however. These counties, as it appeurs to me' lost their timber of first growth before the ago of steam. Now, they lire re paid by being well wooded, and they certainly present a richer cosmos than many other part* of I'enn*ylvania. i The elled, therefore, of steam upon (lie central and northern countiea of tiie State, coming at tiie time it did, had no direct power of enterprise; but left behind, oilier place* sprang up and became tlio active centres of business, governed by the most stimulating source of business energy, the lumber trade. They advanced beyond this vast agri cultural demense, which now with na ture seems to be reaping tho reward of its conservative strength, as abundance and thrift am only the hand maids to the natural energies at work. We nre driving, four of us, Mr. Henry Mead, of X. Y., Mr. Caldwell Frazer, Capt. A. Curtin and K. C. itvin, in a carriage, taking an old fashioned ride— old fashioned, because it will seem so to those who, in recollection, have taken it before—from Lewi-town, down along the Juniata to Mtilin, hut awful rough now, my friend. When you rode over it, you may remember it was rough too, but now it i* roughest. Ye*, the roughest road ever or never made. I'm not try ing to pun, hut we asked a man wo met, Mr. Mead hud tiie curiosity to do *o, no doubt incited by a head ache—if they ever worked the road* here? "No," was the blunt reply. The railroad on the other side of the river ha* thrown tin* thoroughfare into the age atul class with the thunder gust saw null—only used now and then. Mr. Murray ifapleaaant man to meet, a* many who once knew him a* host of the old hotel in Lewistown well know. We met him as proprietor of the Jacob's House, in Mitllin. No one could wish a better supper than our hungry party set down to after our ar rival in tins thrifty and pleasantly situ a ted town. Our big day's work came next day, the third from Bellefonte. About thir ty -even to forty miles to Newville, I 'uui berland county, and two mountain* to cross. Wc h*d all we could do, for our part was to rest the horse a little by walking the ascent of the mountain*. ; Tuscarora mountain and South moun tain, or a* it i properly called, Kitta tiny, are laith al>oul one thousand feel in a peprndicular height from base to j summit. Little did we know what was to happen on the other side of the Tu- j carora mountain. We had gone but a few miles from Ickesbwrg. feeling easy upon a good, square meal, when, as we went over a breaker, snap went the spring—broken. In ignorance of the extent of Captain Curtin'* preparations for this or any other mishap, I remain, ed for a single moment in the utmost fear for the fulfillment of our projected distance assigned to that particular R t!*• CUTTkK fllortiT. Maharashtra. BIT KEV. OMEN W. -EII.ER. NO. It. ME*SH. Em TO**: I arrived in tiie harlior of Bombay on tiie 10th of De ceniber, 1870; and as day * breaking I could see the Syhadri or Ghaut- range of mountains running north and south about thirty miles from the coast. It would require 100 much space nnd time to write all about my first impressions of Bombay and its inhabitant*. Suffice it to say that I saw a city of TiKEOOO in habitants, including some 5,(8)0 Euro peans, whose narrow, irregular street* were alive with natives, Arabs, Per sians, Abytiniana, Ac., dressed in va rious and picturesque costumes. The modern part of the city, inhabited chiefly by English officials and wealthy natives, contains some substantial and handsome residences, many of them surrounded by beautiful garden*. The public buildings—*uch a* the post-office, telegraph office, high court and whole sale store*- are costly and ira|>o*ing. The street* are lighted with gas, and the municipal laws are such as to insure many of our modern improvement* and comforts. The day after my arrival in Bombay was Sunday, and although 1 knew not a word of the vernacular lan gtiagc Marathi), I went to Kev. Vishnu punt's church, where I met some native Christian* nd heard a missionary preach. I could recall only two word* of hi* sermon, after the service, and that was because lie repeated them frequently. From Bombay i went to I'oona. 119 miles hy rail, where I was received by Mrs. Fraser, a Scotch lady. It was dark when the train reached I'oona, but a servant soou found me and took me to Mrs. Fraser'*. I was there several day* and vi*iled several Scotch missionaries., I saw a girl's boarding school, where a number of girl* are taught English, some of whom recited to roe a lesson in Geography. I was also taken to a large mission school in the heart of the city, and was surprised at the progress many natives have made in English studies. They were remarkably well acquainted with the history of England, and I was pleased to zee how well some of tbem could pharaphrase difficult sentence* in Macaulay's essays. Hy request, I spoke on Genesis 1:1, to a hundred young men, all aeated on the floor, and then heard a Bible lesson. I'oona has about 100,000 inhabitant*, including several thousand English, and is beautifully situated. It enjoy* many of the advantage# of an English city and ha* fine buildings and macadamised streets lined with trees. For a century it was the capital of Maharastra, where the chief ruler or J'eiihwa reigned. Many soldiers, English and Sepoys, are quar tered in I'oona in two carupe. I drove through the English camp one evening and heard silistio muaic discoursed hy a native tmnd. I was agreeably disap pointed in the quality of meals in India. While traveling, t noticed that the far ther east 1 went the poorer was the table fare, but in Bombay, I'oona and other cities where there are English set tlement*, mutton, fowls, |>otatoes, egg plant*, Ac., are plenty. Curry, which ia composed of turmeric, cocoanut, onion*, cardamom seeds, ret) pepper and other spice*, cooked with meat and eaten with rice, ia a favorite Indian di*h. Brah man* and many other Hindua being vegetarian*, eat the curry without meat. When in I'oona I noticed that the sphere of individual labor waa quite limited ; a butler doo* not cook, and e cook confine* himself to the kitchen. Iho groom or ghorda-waltah doe* not like to or about i'. n„ covered with dust and having a severe headache. The next morning, however. I felt refreshed, and was ready to look about and see what were the surroundings of my new home. 1 was to live with Kev. Mr. Wilder, the senior missionary, whose bungalow is pleasant ly located, at,out half a mile from the city. The undulating part of the coun try looked bare and parched, even in Ileceinher, but the meadows and level country toward# ibe west looked fer tile. The Syhadri mountains al>out 12 miles distant, cushioned on their sides with dark green trees and hushes, look ed qui e picturesque. Toward* the south lay the city of Kola|>oor, whose royal palace and principal temple loom ed up above the common houses. The city then had about 45.000 inhabitants. Near our bungalow is the English camp where there i* a Sepoy regiment, and thete ate usually a dozen or tuore English families in the neighborhood. 1 saw i.one of the dreaded cobras lor week* after I came. Lizards were plen ty, in and out of the house, hut harm less. I soon got acquainted with the nstive Christians, and some of the pupils in the school* ; and many Hin du* came to see me. U. W. SIILIK.
