At the last moment of making up i j our issue for this week, we have the I gratifying intelligence that the con [ fercc* of the 20th District, which met f at Lock Haven, have again placed in I nomination our honored and distin | gushed fellow townsman, ANDREW < i. ICL UTIN, as the Democratic cundidate I for Congress. Our ticket is now full' and we go into the contest with full assurance of its entire success in the election of every one named upon it. | ONE of the "Hoppers" at the New- York meeting last week was General f Daniel E. Sickle*, who lost a leg at [ Gettysburg, oil the second day of the [ battle, while in command of the 3d I cor|is. In a speech announcing his | intention to support Hancock he said | that "Gettysburg deserves to name a | President, nnd that Hancock impcr- F somites Gettysburg." MAJOR GRANT WFJDMAN, of Leb j anon, has been nominated as the Dcm | ocratic caudidate for Congress in the : district composed of the counties of ! Dauphin, Lebanon and Northumbcr t land. He is a lawyer of fine ability i ami deserved popularity. His oppo i nent is .Samuel Parr, the Cameron ring i candidate of Dauphin. It will be a lively contest and Maj. Weidmaus [ nomination means business. CONK LINO'S great effort in New | York does not seem to have met the I hopes of his jiarty. Instead of con [ ciliating the feuds of factions, the im- I perious Senator only raisetl the [ "bloody shirt" at the South, and then [ rushed like a mad bull at the Hayes [ administration and the members of the party who sympathised with it. They are not at all pleased, and vote i the "great effort" a great failure so far as any practical advantages to the party are to be considered. SENATOR BAYARD, in his great speech in New York, last week, refer red to the large amount of Southern claims passed and {mid during the Republican control of Congress. He spoke with the authority of his posi tion and experience as a member of the Finance Committee of the .Senate, that of the more than $100,000,000 of these claims the greater part have passed into the pockets of New York capitalists and speculators of the Re publican faith. This depletion of the Treasury ceased when the Democracy got control of Congress, and the elec tion of Hancock will give the specu lators no hope of a revival of the ne farious business carried on so success fully under the Republican Congress.

This is part | of the fundamental law of the land, 1 1 recognized as such by every depart ment of the government and accepted by every shade of political opinion In | the country. When adopted it was intended as a bar to the payment of j • rebel claims, nnd if it fails to meet j that purpose, a heavy load of respon- I sibility rests upon those who were in- ( i strunieutal in placing it upon the j j statute hook. With Democrats there is no difficulty about its proper con | struction. They know what it means, ! and stand hv it in letter and spirit. The platform of the party accepts it j and General Hancock Explicitly re : cognises it in his letter of acceptance when he says, "the thirteenth, four i teenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the I nited Slates, embodying the results of the war, arc inviolable." Iu the late admirable letter written by General Hancock to | Mr. Theodore Cook, of Cincinnati, he | also gives the public his |>o*ition upon j this question in words, clear, incisive I and unmistakeable, and disposes of the i false aud fliinsv charge that he would | favor the payment of rebel war claims in tbe event of his election to the Presidency.

TIIE Hancock and English demon stration of the united Democracy of New York, on Thursday evening last, was grand and imposing in every < sense, affording the most gratifying evidence that the people of the Empire State are fully alive to the important results in the present struggle for hou ; est government. The immense mas." i of enthusiastic Democracy it brought j together; the great purpose had in S view; the magnificent spectacle of I 50,000 freemen in torch-light proces sion, and the eharacter of the states men present to defend the principles of Democracy and the return of our Government to its original simplicity and excellence, inspires the hope that the reign of fraud is about to be driv en to the rear. Amongst the long list of speakers we notice Senators Bay ard, Wallace, Hill, Randall, Gov. Ilolliday, of Virginia, Gov. Phelps, of Missouri, Daniel Dougherty and many others of equal eminence who spoke from twelve different platforms erected to accommodate tbe immeuse crowd who participated in the meet ing. NOT ANY MORE, IF YOU PLEASE ? It is not at all likely that the Repub licans will desire to have any more letters from Gen. Hancock. Those they have already called out are very unsatisfactory, very!

Is Ho Fit for President V —— No satisfactory attempt has been ! made by Gen. Garfield to relieve his j reputation from the grave charge | of official and moral delinquencies | which now overshadows it. Their j J gravity are certainly not such as to j | he viewed with indifference by honest voters, unless blinded and besotted by partisan prejudice of the most dense J and impenetrable character. The > ; Credit Mohilier swindle and the De j , Goiyer fraud cannot hut startle an hou- : ! est man when called u|x>n to endorse j Mr. Garfield as a proper person to place at the head of the Government, j When to these serious charges of loose morality, to say the least of them, preferred and sustained by indubitable j testimony of his own party friends I ■ both iu Congress and in his Congres- | sionul district, is supplemented his ! connection with the Presidential fraud j of I*7o-7, such an endorsement can 1 j only be accounted for on the ground i that party prejudice overrules honest Ijudgment. The prominent part the Republican candidate took in making up the false returns in Lmisiana, and I then as a judge in the electoral com mission voting to stifle investigation and perpetuate the fraud in Washing ton, could ii<>t fail to strike even a prejudiced mind as an net of question able propriety. But to one endowed by proper moral conception and a de cent respect for honorable conduct the disgraceful act presents a very differ ent aspect. Gen. Garfield knew the fraud was committed. Wenuse he on* i a jiarty to it, hut when he got himself | placed upon the Electoral Commission under oath to investigate, and then 1 voted with the majority to accept the j false returns without investigation, he committed a crime thai hi* partisan* have failed to justify or defend, for the ; reaon that it is indefensible. The question is therefore pertinent, is such a man fit to lie President of the I'nited States ? THE fact is undisputed that Gen. ; Garfield isamemlicrofthe British Free Trade ('obden t'luh and was made such for his speech in favor of the British Tariff System, and his uniform oppo sition to the American System. We have heretofore referred to his vote* in CougrcK* to reduce the duties on , iron and roal ami other products of I Pennsylvania, and it is probably per tinent to inquire what assurances I our manufacturers hn>-e that he ha* | changed his views since hi* nomina tion for President? He is supported in the West a* a Free Trader on his public record, and the mere assertion of irresponsible *|>eker* should not lie taken on trust that he is not still in i full acoord with that system, in the | absence of authoritative evidence i from Garfield himself. A letter from | Garfield is in order. If acconqienied by his correspondence with theCobden Club it will furnish very interesting reading hereabouts. TIIE Republicans had a big blow out in Philadelphia on last •Saturday even ing. Their procession is said to hnx-e been the largest ever witnessed in that city. Well they knew what |was re quired of them. They had the ex ample of the great Democratic dem onstration of the previous week before them and know just what would be necessary to beat that grand out-pour ing of the Hancock and English masses. With 19,000 office-holders— National, Htate and City—-to start with it was not such n big thing after all to swell their number up to 82,000 as they claim to have done. The speak ing on the occasion amounted to noth ing. Blaine met with an exceedingly cool reception, induced, probably, by his recent failure in Maine, while Btockett Mathews, the Baltimore blatherskite, lost his temper because a few inconsiderate Democrats had the temerity to cheer for Hancock, and he made a silly exhibition of himself by getting into a wrangle with the crowd. Taken altogether the Democrats lost nothing by the display. TUB question as to whether the property qualification required to ob tain a vote under the luws of Rhode Island, applied to all eiti/.ens who did not possess a freehold estute, or is con fined only to those of foreign birth, was submitted to the Attorney Gener al of that Htute by Mr. VVeller of Washington. The following is his reply: STATIC or ILBODK IM.ANO, I Axs'r ATTOKSXV-GKNXIIAT.'S Grri' K, • PROVIDKNCK, If. 1.,. Sept. 10, IHSO. J If. I IFsttsr, Ay DKARHIU.—Your* of tbo 7th Inst. i at hand 1 have ju*t replied to n letter of Mr. Gleason requesting the same informa tion, and will, therefore, only *av in reply to voura that A FOREIGN ItGI'N CITI ZEN' of our State M t'ST OWN REAL ESTATE TO ENTITLE HIM TO VOTE, ami that a NATIVE BORN NEED NOT. SAML'KI. P. COLT, A'T Att'y Gen. The existence ami enforcement of this odious system of proscription, if uppliod to all alike, native and foreign born citizen, would still lie a blot ujHiti free government, but where ,-ucli a law is enacted and enforced to ostra cise our Irish and German citizens it is simply infamous ami would not he tolerated in any State in the l uion not controlled by the Republican party. Rut the sentiment which ap proves such laws is not confined alone to Rhode Island. It prevades the Republican party in all States where the political opinions of the voter does not accord strictly with that party, which is the party of proscription and intolerance. SIJO'K some of our Republican friends linve become so enamored of the opinions of Judge Jeremiah S. Black, we call their attention to the late letter of this distinguished man to the Democracy at their monster meeting held in the city of New York last week. While the judge still believe* that Garfield is a very good sort of a man in the walks of private life, he proves conclusively the |ioiiticai career of the Republican candidate for President has been one of tergiversation, inconsistency ami even dishonor; that he is a man total. Iv devoid of the coinage of his con victions; that he has ever been the willing tool of the party machine; and that by his elevation to the Pres idency the worst elements of radical ism would continue to dominate in the affairs of state. Such a man is unfit for the Chief Magistracy of a free people and the country will so decide in emphatic tones on the second day of November next. SOME people are amusing themselves making cabinet* for the incoming Pres ident. The Washington Pott takes a a hand in the amuscineut and an nounces the following as its view of an ideal Democratic cabinet: Serrrtary of Stair —Jcrcminh S. lllnrk, of iVnnsylvanis. Srrrrtary of the Treasury —Samuel J. Tililcn, ot New York, Ss.-rttary of War —Geo. It. McClellan, of New Jersey. Srrrrtary of Iftr A 'ary —Tho*. A. Ilen dricks, of Indiana Srrrelary of thr Inlrrivr —Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio. P'ttmnaUr (fenrral —John R. Gordon, of Georgia. Aitornry Urneral —Benjamin F. Hutler, of Ma*achusetU. This ideal would not be had a* a reality. It would certainly display an array of ability which could not be exceeded by any Government upon the earth. Bui. Gen. Hancock, who will hnvc tho selection, will please him self, and the distinguished men be call* to his cabinet will be entirely satisfactory to the people. IIOXKKT people will not fail to rec ollect, with proud satisfaction, iu cast ing their votes on the 2d of November that no bribes or fraud or pcijury overshadows the fair fame of Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock. They need not heed the contrast between him and his competitor, if their consciences will allow them to evade it. IT is said the Republicans are about to "change horses crossing the stream," by deposing Marshal Jewell, chairman of the National Committee. It won't help them. They are doomed and no other leader can erase the "hand writ ing on the wall." 'I IIK Hon. Francis Jordan, of Har rixburg, Secretary of State under (lov. Geary, recently made a characteristic speech which was published in the Trfrgrnph of that city. Mr. Jordan in social life in an esteemed and honorable man, but as a partisan, like his candi date for President, is reckless and un truthful, and acts upon the principle that any act is justifiable, however dishonorable, in aid of his party. This is Garfield morality, and seems to be fully adopted by Mr. Jordan in the extract of his speech we here reproduce —not on account of its importance, as any school-boy in tbc country can detect the lie, but to show the mean ness of the opposition to Gen. Han cock : Colonel Jordan Mid "At Gettysburg shortly ufU-r In- came on the field, Han cock became subordinate to General Sloeum, and by an accident in a cannonade in the third day's tight, Hancock was wounded by a hall striking him on the hack, which compelled him to go to the hospital where ho remained a disabled man, thus doing no lighting during the hottest part of l'icketl's charge, the re pulse of which virtually decided the battle. And yet it is claimed Hancock fought the battle of Gettysburg. History as given in the testimony of soldiers who were near Hancock in that momentous struggle saw be took no part in it during the critical period of the third day, when the victory was won." The mendacity of Mr. Jordan's effort to misrepresent Gen. Hancock in the battle of Gettysburg was fullv exposed by Mr. Ovid F. Johnson, in a brilliant speech at a mass meeting in Harri-burg on Monday last, in which he read letters from Surgeon Recti, who extracted the ball wbirli caused liim to fall at the close of the battle and in the hour of victory—from Col. Mitchell, who remained with him on the field of battle until the la-t moment of the fight on the Jd of July—and from Gen. St. ( lair Mulhollund, who was also present and is amazed that Mr. Jordan would so falsify history, and pronounces his statements u- ab solutely false.

The Stale government has be come a very expensive affair instead of the inexpensive thing of 1859, in Dem ocratic hand*. These officials render no more, nor better service than when their salaries were much lover. The money, every cent of it, comes from the pockets of the people, in some shape. Has the wages of the tailoring man, mechanic, or the return of the farmer for hi* toil, been increased in proportion to the pay of oificesholders ? They have not. Thus it haa always been with the Republican party. When they get into [tower they consider offices places of money-making instead of public trusts, hence increase the salaries as well as create new offices. All parties should unite and turn out of power the party which thus violate* their faith with the people.
