The pronounced (popular aentimontof the Republican party in this atate ha* been so unmiataknbly Tor Hlaine'a nom ination for tlio presidency that the suppression of that preference by the delegation to Cincinnati in 1870, and the atill bolder, though lens hurceasful, effort to defeat it at Chicago in I*Bo, very naturally excited protests which resulted in new party rules intendol to prevent the easy success with which the Stalwart* have heretofore overridden the popular wish of their party. In the making of tbeae rules, by Itoth national and state authorities, however, there i*a concurrence which may give the wily politicians of the party an opportunity to manipulate the election of its delega tion to the presidential convention in like manner as heretofore. U/idcr the national rules the state convention must be called "not more than GO days belore the national convention," which postpones it until after April 4; while under the state rules, adopted by the last Republican convention of I'cnnsyl vania, GO days notice of the state con vention must begivon in order to have time for choosing delegates to it, and It niuat bo held thirty days before the national convention, which would fix thetimeof ihestate conventional a date between April 4 and May I, which is very convenient to live powers that be. j As all the district delegate* are nn-itn time to be chosen by district confer ence,convention* or county committees, and as a good deal of work is to be crowded into a brief period, the more dexterous politicians will shear the lambs again.

HUNTINGDON, Jan. 9.—ln June, 1874, Jacob Staley, then a resident of this city, left a note inhuming his wife that he was tired of living and had deter, mined to end his life, and that bit body wouUl be found in a designated spot in the Juniata river. A vigorous but in effectual search for the body was inati. luted which lasted several days. His father, who lived in a remote township in thia county, soon afterward* died, leaving money to the amount of $.40.- 000, to bo equally divided between bis widow and the issue of Jacob Staley, jr., in the ea*e of the latter* death. The wife of Jacoli Staley, jr., who mourned her husband as dead, having previously moved to tho West, no trace of her whereabout* could be obtained. It lias since transpired that Jacob, wbo having rather tired of hi* importunate credit or* than hi* life, did not commit suicide but lurrcptiiiounly decamped West and ; entered the regular army. Hi* wife soon joined him, and having no children lof their own they adopted a son. After eight year* had elapsed Mr*. Ntnley re turned East with her adopted eon. and the court, presuming her hunt.and to be dead, placed the legacy of $l6 (ktO - in the hand* of a guardian in tru.t for • the son, who ha* been expending the income lor hi* education. Word wa* j yesterday received from Jacob Staley, the Coter father, who was declared by ' the court to be legally dead, oi bit exist ence and intention to return and prove cutejhia claim to hi* father'a'legacy.
