Curtin for Congress. The nomination of Governor Cur tin by the Congressional Conference j of the 20th district meets with a most hearty and favorable response in all sections of tlie State. The result of the Conference came too late for ex tended comment in most of the Dem ocratic newspapers of the district last week, but we feel well assured that he will receive an earnest ami enthusias tic support from all. As samples of 1 the feeling towards Gov. Curtin, we j append the following articles from leading newspapers of the district i and State: DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION, j From the Clinton Democrat. It will be seen by reference to the proceedings of the Congressional • inference elsewhere in this issue, that Hon. Andrew G. Curtin has been nominated for Congress in this district. The other candidates were Andrew Heed, Esq., of Mitllin, and J. K. P. Hall, of Klk. Centre, Clearfield and Clinton supported the nominee from the start. Mifflin and Union went for Mr. Heed, and Klk for Mr. Hall. On the ninth ballot Klk went over to Curtin, giving him a majority, whereupon his nomination was made unanimous. The candidate appeared before the Conference and made a very satisfactory speech, and he was followed by the other gentlemen who were in nomination, who pledged their active support to the nominee. The proceed ings were characterized by good feeling and an earnest intention to work for the best interests of the party and to give the nominee hearty endorsement. In the nominee we have a gentleman fitted for the position in a high degree. Long experience in public life has giv en him advantages that will make his presence a strength to the councils of the people, and his life long residence among the people he is to represent makes him the beat of representatives for the citizens in this diatrict; while hia services as Governor fully acquainted him with the people and resources ami wants of the whole .State, and the in terests of Pennsylvania would be guard ed by him with a fidelity and intelli gence equal to the best. As a Democrat, Mr. Curtin has been working in every campaign since 1872. He was long in the lead of the many eminent men who are forsaking the Kadical party now and ranging under the banner of Democracy with Hancock as their leader. He left his party whet\ it was strong and surrendered high position to follow the lead of his princi ples. It was long ere he appeared as a candidate, and then he was pressed forward by leading men of the State, including the caniddate for Governor, the chairman of the State central com mittee, the late ex-Gov. Bigler and others, and even the noble Democratic leader, Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, came into his district to announce his satisfaction at the nomination. During the campaign of 1878. when an extra ordinary condition existed in the three principle counties of his district—a condition that does not exist now, and will not again soon—unmindful of him self, he submitted promptly to the orders of the State committee and went out to do battle for the Democratic candidate for Governor. Then a great wrong was inflicted upon him ana the party disgraced itself by defeating him and placing a mere nonentity in the place where they ought to have pot lii in. Now there is an opportunity to m right that wrong by electing him to Congress. That it will he done, we are confident. The experience of the past will confine the candidate's efforts to his own district. He will be seen and heard in all parts of it, and the result will be a handsome majority for Andrew G. Curtin in November. EX-UOVERNOR CURTIN FOR CONGRESS. From the Philadelphia Times. The Democratic conference of the Twentieth Congressional district met at Lock Haven on Tuesday und balloted during the evening without choice. Centro and Clinton had instructed for ex-Governor A. C. Curtin : Union for ex Senator A. 11. Dill; Mitllin for An drew Heed, and Klk lor J. M. P. Hall. Yesterday morning the conference met again and nominated Curtin, and all the counties cordially acquiesced in the selection. It would be a matter of little moment under ordinary circumstances, for ex- Governor Curtin to be elected to Con gress; hut in the present attitude of his district, it would liavo been a great wrong to Curtin and to the party that is now making a more than hopeful battle for Hancock, to have nominated any other. He was one of the ablest and most honored Hepublican leaders when Hepublicanism could look with unmixed pride upon its own victories, and he was one of the first and boldest to revolt against the degradation of the party to mean ambition and groveling greed. Since 1872 ho has been the most in tensely hated and malignantly defamed of all men in the State by those who rule the Hepublican party, because his record and his speech were a constant and fearful menace to Hepublican de generacy. He supported the Demo cratic ticket, State and National, since that year ; spoke in seveial States for Tilden in 1876 ; devoted much time and labor at New Orleans afte- the election to aid in rescuing Louisiana from the electoral burglars who defrauded the people out of their chosen President, and he is now one of the most enthu siastic supporters of Hrncock. In 1878 he was nominated for Con ; gress in his present district, but was de feated by the over-confidence of his ] friends, the quiet fusion of the Hepub ( licans and Greenbackers, and the | employment of flagrant frauds. With \ all of Senator Dill's strength in his own district, Curtin was only a few hundred votes behind Dill ; but the fu sion made the contest close and fraud decided it. Had Curtin remained at home, he would have been elected by a decided majority, but, regarding the district as safe, he was impressed into i service elsewhere, and his own battle neglected. This time he will be likely j to give some attention to his own con ! test, and, fusion or no fusion, his elec tion by a large majority may be regard j ed as reasonably certain. j DaltMt.tr-- County D mu. rut. The Democratic County Convention of Centre county on Tuesday instruct ed delegates for Kx-Gov. A. O. Curtin ; for Congress, as did also the Clearfield j County Convention, which insures his I nomination, Clinton county having previously instructed for him, and the Union conferees, although instructed for Dill, being known to favor Curtin as i their second choice. With such tried 1 Union men in the Democratic forefront as Hancock for President and Curtin I for Congress tho Hepublican howl nbout j rebel rule certainly sounds very incon i gruous, to say the least. j IfaniaLnrir Fat riot. The nomination of Kx-Governor Cur tin at I.ock Haven yesterday| by the i Democratic congressional conference of the Twentieth district will receive the , earnest approbation of the people of j that district. Governor Curtin has done most effective service for the party in this State and elsewhere and deserves the cordial support of every Democrat. He will be elected by at least 4,000 ma jority. Gen. McCook 011 Hancock. Gen. McCook, of Gen. Sherman's staff, said to a Chicago Timet interviewer the other day, being asked what truth there was in the statement that Gen. Hancock was habitually overbearing in the treatment of those under him : "Any stories to this effect are simply trumped up lies. I have known Gen. Hancock for the past thirty years, and a bette,- soldier or kinder-hearted man I have never met." "What do you think of his alleged incompetency as a military man ?" "There is not a soldier walks the earth with a better military record than Gen. Hancock. I have never before heard that anything had been said against him. The opinion among army men, from Gen. Sherman down, as to Gen. Hancock, is the opinion held by me. He is one of the best men and soldiers the country has ever produced." "DID General Garfield introduce a bill in Congress to drop General Hancock from tho army as Major General? If so. when ?" asks a correspondent of the Philadelphia Times. To which the Times replied: "General Garfield did intro duce such a bill on the 13th of January, 1868, but the Hepublican House refused to pass it. General Garfield, in a letter to Mr. Hinsdale, his successor as Presi dent of Hiram College, said : 'I intro duced the Hancock bill not so much for the purpose of passing it as to show how much he was in our hands.' This letter will be found on page 183 of Bun dy's Life of Garfield." In other words Garfield wanted to do a little hull dozing on Hancock with the assistance of his Hepublican members. After Hancock went through the thickest of the fight, while Garfield wss in Congress, the lat ter wanted to punish him for uttering sentiments which, while they were statesmanlike and in accordance with the principles upon which our govern ment was founded, did not accord with the "strong government" views of the now candidate for President. But the people will be strong enough this fall to promote Hrfncock and retire Mr. Garfield to the shades of Mentor. Mr. Hayes and party on Saturday vis ited the government Indian School st Forrest Grove, Washington county, Cal. A Urge crowd assembled to greet them. They left at 5 r, *. for Vancouver, LETTER FROM PITTSBURG.

PITTSIICHO, PA., Oct. 4, 1880. e repeated compliment* of .Judge Black to Garfield are not well received by the Democrat* here, a* tliey sound more like the paid praise of a counsel rather than the fair opinion of a Dem ocratic leader. The Democrat* like the way Bayard handled Garfield much bet ter than the praise of .ludge Black on De Golyer and Credit Mobilier, for they naturally think if be is a bad man in one way he cannot be such a pure saint in another. IIAVARD ON UAKFIEI.D. In his speech at the New York meet ing Senator Bayard lay* hold of this doubled decked hypocrite in about the right way. "1 will not," says Bayard, "out of a spirit of false courtesy ascribe to Garfield virtue 1 do r.ot believe him to posses*. He was Chairman of the committee on Appropriation* when corruption and extravagance ran riot in Washington , City ; when Boss Shepherd and bis crew were drawing tens of millions to buy rotten pavements in those streets, with false measurements and double prices. And in all the carnival of roguery from 1809 to 1875, where WHS the voice and the vote of Mr. Garfield 7" URANT'S SPEECH AT W ARREN is, when we take into consideration his tally to the South on bis trip through there, a perfect turn round. He has been filled with the ideas of Conkling and his party that they will make the : Republican party as sick for not taking [,liim at Chicago, as Conkling made the i administration for putting out Collec | tor Arthur. If they dared pull Gar i field oft' they would now put Grant in his place, in the de*|>erate hope of fighting his way through on a close count. If Hayes would stand tip to them they would try it, and in the : event of the Republicans polling more I votes in the northern States than the I Democrats, they would set up a claim |to the office. There is no use in dis guising the desperation of some of these Radical leaders. Our l'bilip | Dougherty, of Harrisburg, used to say that "the Republican* would never let go of power in Washington without j blood," and it does look a little that i way, quite frequently. Great as the ex ! citement now i*. it will be ten times worse after the < 'ctober elections on the i 12th. A RON I RENT OF BULLION. our Sunday-school President doe* not | seem to care much about airing himself on the California coast. He will hunt "those golden slippers" if the Indian Victoria gets after him. The Arizona papers of late date say they are getting up a Bullion monument in the public square at Tuscan for his innocent gaze. The various mines of the Tombstone j and the Globe district* are to loan one ! week's production of bullion for an ex j hibit. I'he first offer was fifty tons of ; copper from the Mule Pass mines, and | 300,000 pounds of silver bullion havo ! been secured from the Tombstone and j Harsbaw districts. OUTRAGES IN THE TERRITORIES. The Mesilla (New Mexico) Xrwt says : Victoria has made hi* brag* that ! he will make his own hand take the | scalp of President Hayes, and that his i second chief will take the scalp of Sec retary of War Ramsey and Gen. Sher man. The Indian outrages in New Mexico are horrible. The Appaches have surrounded Fort Cummings, and on the fith, jumped the mail coach, killing K. S. Madden, Daac Roberts, a native of North Wales, and Isaac Le Bean, who were on their way to Silver City. The bullet holes showed that there were savages on "he north and south of the road, and blood was scat tered all over the Iront and back seats of the stage. Most of the top was torn off and straps from the hind boot taken. That's a nice country to emigrate to from our quiet State. But we can get up outrages here to match any in the Newgate Callendcr. However, one don't have to carry a gun on their shoulder all day. Hardly anyone shoots at you without a cause, here, but out there, the Appaches seem to kill right and left, without the least provocation or excuse. The real pressing want in that Country is three or four regiments of regular soldiers, and our Democrats in Congress ought to give the settler all the protection possible. It is sickening to read the papers from New Mexico and Arizona. The New Mexican pa|>ers publish the outrages in Arizona, and the Arizona papers publish the outrages in New Mexico. Its like the account of the ague in Indiana. They never have it right where you are, but right over there it it terrible bad. KEYSTONE. Arrested Tor Asking General kilpat rlek a (Question. John O'Brien was brought before Jus tice Kenna, in Brooklyn, the other day, on a charge of having disturbed a polit' ical meeting in Greenpoint on Tuesday night at which General Judson KilnaP rick was a speaker. lie said he was one of the andience, and as General Kilpatrick asked questions of the audi ence he volunteered an answer. "What was asked 7" asked the jus tice. "The Oineral, yer honor," said O'Brien, "axed if rebel brigadiers were to be trusted." "And what did you say 7" "I said, savs I, 'Howabout Longstreat and Mosby 7' and before I got me an swer I was on the way to the polios station." As there was no disturbance further than talk, the complaint against O'Brien 1 was dismissed. GENERAL NEWS. Base ball on Saturday : At Washing ton—Cleveland, 8; National, ].

A branch of the Irish Land League was organized at Buffalo on Monduy and the Rev. P. Cronin elected presi dent. There were thirty-three mine acci dents in the middle district of Luzerne during September. Three of them were fatal.

Joseph Morehouse, a fireman on the New Jersey Centra! railroad, was bitten by a pet dog three weeks ago. e heard ; "many important events in the history of our country have tran spired, since I last had the pleasure to receive the greeting of my old friends of the Third congressional district. I I thank you for your visit. It recalls the generous confidence of a constit uency I was proud to represent in the councils of the state and of the repub | i lie. When a sense of duty impelled ; | me to offer my services in the defence !of the I'nion, the regiments I raised , i were largely filled by voters who had given me their suffrage in successive elections. And I found that good ■ voters made good soldiers. Although withdrawn lor some time past from any prominent part in politics, I can | uot be an indifferent spectator of a presidential canvass in which a dis j tinguished and esteemed comrade is I named for the highest office in the [gifts of the country he has MI brilliant- J)y served. No one need IK* afraid to ! confide the presidency to a soldier i who fought for the Union as Hancock fought. Among all the illustrious j men who have been called to the chief magistracy none have more com j mended themselves to the favor of the people by a scrupulous adherence to the best traditions of our public life. Unused to the arts of a politician, separated bv his profession from po litical organization, and never seek ing office, his nomination by a vote that represented all part* of a re-unit ed country is a pledge of fraternal feeling that will become a guarantee of peace and union in his election. The wiser opinion of the day is against sectional politics. Enjoying universal tranquility and prosperity, appeals to old sectional animosities are offensive to the good feeling and com mon sense of the people. "New York desires cordial relations with all her sister States," the General continued : "ntid accepting Southern support of Hancock as a bond of uuion ; 'solid'support is proof of'solid' loyalty. I know General Hancock. He will do his duty. Politicians will not con trol him. He will execute the laws of the land with all their safeguards ami fuarantees, without fear or favor. he support he receives in the South rebukes if it does not silence geograph ical prejudices. And if the North refused its favor to one of the greatest of its commanders the reproach of in gratitude that would rest upon us might challenge unwelcome compari sons with our late adversaries. The North is not ungrateful. Gettysburg deserves to name a president, and Hancock impersonates Gettysburg." Boainou Notice*. —No more sick chickens.
