GOODRICH. The Arkansas matter is not mend ing very fast. It: will be a pretty tight squeeze to avoid a civil war. Bacon rests his claim upon the lar ger number of votes -he received, but he failed to make it appear so, after 'lbey'Were counted by the properly Ico.listituted State authoriety. This the State law virtuallyideflnei to be the :President of the Senate. A year ago h 6, performed duty 'and counted BRoozs out He I declared the majority of voters to be in favor of Bea. No other authority 'in the State can perform this function. Mr. Bnooss' counting thersfore stands in direct . opposition to that of the President of the Senate. Bat f.t. Baooss thought a wrong had been done him there was a reinedy;. then -the Legislature takes, np the case, which was the course pursued, and , they also counted against Bacon. And the latter went on and exhaust ed every remedy and still the decis ion was against him. Whether all these - influences against him were palign and corrupt, as he affirms, we cannot. Say. But no competent legal anthoriety came to his help to reverse the decision. And Arkansas, being sovereign State cannot expect any aid from the appeals oteither side to Washington. No national anthoriL ties can revise the' count of votes certified to properly and legally by the State of Arkansas). Revolution and war, only can nullify her action. And it makes little difference if Bnooss did receive, the boost of judicial autkority, which amounted tonothing in the question at issue, although his course seems to have been based on that. So the whole matter comes down right to the Supreme law governing Arkansas and all other States, if Bnooss per sist in his insurrection. It reads thus : "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of govern ment, -and shall protect each of them againet invasion, and, on application of the Legislature or of the AreCutive (when the Legislattire cannot be ' convened); against domestic violence." THE N. Y. Herald states that our domestic ; exports for the past yeai amounted to $606,366,000, and for the year 11872;5544,438,000 a diff erence of about $62,000,000.. In 1872 we imported to the amount of $677,- 144,000; ~in 1873, '5624,937,000 a idling off of $52,000,000. Theie are significant figures, for they paint in the'right direction. • They show a -healthy process of recovery from the .niolt fearful of all national diseases, bVertredin,g and, extravagance. Our iieor . have been spendthrifts. Mak ing money easy, it was so to speak, thrown away in the purchase of vast . quantities otuseless stuff, for which we had to pay in the pr9duct of our mines and fields. We have exchang ed our cotton, Breadstuff ,and pre cious metali for a great bilk of gew gaws, which not on)y . helped social demoralization, but run us in debt as individuale and as a nation. it, is a good sign that this foolish outlay has been in- a megSure checked, and it 'will be a better one when we can no longer afford to indulge in foreign luxuries at such a public Oat. If we:must use them we ougneto pat ronize our home manufactures, or at least, wait until we have paid our debts. - THE committee appointed by the New York Butter end Cheese Ex- change have reported upon olerain garine and the adulteration of Witt ter. y They. find -that the former if manufactured and sold as oleoman garinA will not injure the public; but in view of 'the injury to trade that would follow any attempted sub stitution of the artifical for the gen uine article it is rec,oraei2ded that, while experiments inventions or:ap plications of skill for the production of a pure article -should be encour aged,,any process of adulteration or. deterioration must be /condemned.

FL L, : tic?rr, and on motion Judge Surapne Was elected. Chairman, - and P. "H. Dui* and Gul. Mowers chosen Secretaries. The only business. brought before the Convention was the itlectioi of representative delegates to the State Convention, and the appointment of Senatorial conferees, to act in con janbtion with conferees from the oth er counties in the District in the se lection of a Senatorird delegate. On motion of S. W. BOWERS, the follow ing, resolutions were unanimously adopted: • Beroired,_ Thit Hon. John Palismore, Hon. Yu. H. Webb and W. T.

The Senatorial_conferees were etri poweted to represent Bradford corm ty in arranging the basis of repre sentation in the Senatorial confer 11,3E03. On motion adjourned. L. P. &ALFORD, Chairman. P. FL Bee; Gr.o. Blowup, J A COanEsposnma of the Erie Da zette, writing from Harrisburg, dis courses thusly on the subject of Rep resentatives: . In view of thfi fact that the next Legislature will be the first elected under the new Constitution, and that membership in both Houses will be largely increased, in the Senate from thirty-three to fifty, and in the House from one hundred to two hundred and one, it is of prime importance that more than ordinary care should be exercised in there-election of can didates; and this being the season of the year when the people will be soon called upon to meet in their primary assemblies; for the purpose of arrang ing conventions, electing delegates, &c., a few suggestions may not be inappropriate. • That the next leg islature should be compoited of true, sound men-of experiencennd integ rity, no one will dispute. In coun ties, therefore, where there are Re publicans who: have been tried, as Senators and Representatives, and have proven theinselves worthy of the confidence reposed in them, who are - willing to come back here, -it would be the part of wisdom to_has ten slowly - in selecting new, untried men. The great, almost controlling influence wielded. by the Congres sional delegation 'from the South, in our National Legislature, previous to the war, was always accounted for'in the fact that the people of the South ern States were not influenced by the idea of " rotation in office " ex cept for cause, as we unfortunately were in tbe North. When they were fortunate enough to secure the ser vices of men - like Clay, Benton, Cal- - howl, Stevens, Cobb, Heat, and many others whose names might be given, they were continued at Washingtoni until they became powers. Some of our Northen counties, notably Brad fordsand Tioga, have profited by fol lowing a policy somewhat similar to that indicated, in their selections of Senators and Members, of the House 'of our State Legislature, and it would be well if their example were more generally followed. It takes most ordinary men two or three 'sessions to become sufficiently familiar with business here. to make themselves useful, and it seems like trifling, just when they can do some good, to fill their places with novices. Legislation is a business or profes sion, which has to,. be studied and learned,just like anything else, and when a man is found to be proficient, honest, intelligent and' industrious, he should not be rotated out to make use of a man nntried, and of whom little may be known.' This general idea is thrown out, without having any particular locality , in view, through the medium of the - Gazette. because it is old enough to give good advice lIM=I IT don't seem to take much to re vive the drooping spirits ,of the temocraticlarty, and inspire them with a hope that the time will soon come when_they *lll wear the laurel wreath of victor's "and enjoy the emoluments of office for which they have so long yearned. The late , veto of the President, which was disap proved of by a portion of the Repub licans, seems to have had this effect on the Democracy. In it they fondly imagined they saw a bone of conten tion which was to "divide the Repub licans and furnish-to their opponents the long-looked for opportunity. But their hopes do not stand the smallest peasible chance of being realized.. The, Republicans, while they differ-pn this _question as they do on many others, have too high, a regard for the fundamental principles of their party organization, and too earnest a determination that they shall prevail in the administration of the governmecit, to act in such a way as to place the Democracy in power. That party belongs to a bygone age • and ha d , ter dissolve. 'The sooner it does so the better for itself and the Country: 'Tux associated banks of Eastern Pa., met in Bethlehem last week.

His simple account of his last intervirw with Mr. Summuri was better than a eulogy, more touch ing and , humanly tender. He said: "So far from feelipg any unkindness to me, he was tilakast'person I epoke to on the day before he died, when I. was going homelo my sick . femily. I went to him and asked him to pair with me, and 11-said, 'Yes, Ceitanna, I do it gladly;' sad we shook sands. He said to me, 'God bless youl r ' and I I said to him, 'God bless yon." He also stated that he had more than once defended Mr. Semi in the Senate, and that one time), when he was assailed in executive session, Mr. Summit defended him, and add ed: flI hope that . as long as I live I shall db no wrong to any man who everdefended me =when I was not present to defend myself." These last words reveal the secret of Mr. CAMKIIO:7B power, the tails man of his wonderful success in polit ical life—a memory singularly tenac ious of a "good_ tarn" like this, of any act of goed faith and' good fel lowship, though emanating from a rival or an opponent. He never forgets . a kind word or deed, from the highest to the humblest." --- THE . opposition press are deter mined to find fault with GRAM some hcw. if his acts hoppen to conform to their ideas then some other flaw mast be found. So, 'while some of the democratic editors endorse the late veto message, they at Ahe same time attempt to make their readers belieye another pen than the Presi dent's wrote it. The following se cret history of the document, - how ever, from the Albany Journal, will satisfy the country that Gen. Gamyr is justly.entitled to the credit of be ing the author of the important pa per: It is the habit of some minds, when a pnblie man, and ''particularly one never specially dii3tingnished as a writer, presents a marked public doe ument, to ask, 1" Who wrote it for him ?"

So far as:Grant is concerned, though he heti always been a better and more prac ticed fighter than writer, this tie sumption is altogether gratuitous. The veto message is his own. A part of it—and especially the pan relating to the obligations of public - faith and the,past pledges of Congress—Was, as we have good reasons to believe, written weeks ago. It.was prepared by the President with the design of sending it as : a special message to Congress,urging that body to, prompt, wise and just action on the currency question, with a view to ultimate re sumption. The President, however, relinquished that purpose, and the manuscript has lain in his desk ever since. He has now taken it out, made such additions as were re quired by the occasion, and sent it to Congress wilt veto message. . 7 MONEY. This article will not he read. The general reader will pass it by, men tally " you can 't catch me with, that bait; I won't . be bribed to read, a stupid article by an attrac tive heading." The country finan cier, who ,greedily devours all the money articles of the city press, will pass it by because of its country ori gin: " Can any- good thing come out of Nazareth?" What the dictionary men say 'about money, we do n't re member and have not time to exam ine. Every one knows that in all civilized countries it is a universally recognized representative of proper ty, and. can .be exchanged for any kind of goods or property, and can be let oat for hire, like houses, lands or horses. Money is the business man's ser vant, the spendthrift's master, and the miser's god. Perfect money should have intrinsic value. The guinea shOuld be, worth a guinea without the guinea's stamp—the gov ernment stamp being merely to show that it has been tested, and weighed by competent men appointed by law. The iron money of Sparta was worth its weight in iron and no mom— Ly curgus, the law giver, never fa - tended that it should- be worth any more than iron,' because he did not wish Sparta to become' af commercial na tion, and ao ordained a kind of mon ey which would not-ttatt among oth er nations, and was too bulky for ex tensive trade at home. Gold and silver, though not solab solutely useful as iron and steel,' are useful and beautiful, metals ; and owing to their scarcity and the amount of labor it requires to-obtain them from the earth, have great in trinsic value; and consequently, near ly all civilized nations in all' ages have found it convenient to use them as money, and Wig probable that un less vast deposits of these - metals should be discovered, rendering them abundant and cheap, they will always retain the Place they have held in the ages past, and, continue to be the standard of value throughout the Taper, money is more convenient on some accounts, and easier to Ariarport than the metals; but it has nO intrinsic) valueuf its own; it de pends for its value on the credit of the issuer, Whether it be a govern ment, a corporation, or an individual. A man may have;millions of dollars in propeity, but if he don't pay his notes when dee they f will be sold at a share, if sold at all. The best. pa per.money in the world will only be at par when.it can be exchangerl , for gold or silver at the will of the holder. Our government will, in time, pay every dollar of its paper in gold; but until that• time eomeer-or tintil the government deathly§ ltd abilitrand readiness to pay its notes _ in goldr— they will be at a discount, or gold will beat a premium . —whioh is anoth er way of statang the erne thing. if our goyernment was in a condi tiCln to pay OK for . its notes as tut as presenW at . the treao=7, and the holders belieied in its thility to maintain specie payrpent4t is prob able that very few would ba.phottent ed for payment, and greenbacks would be esteemed just - as good as gold; but should the government in crease the quantity of its paper mon ey,‘or issue more notes without mak ing any adequate , provision, for , their payment, it would lessen their value and also the value ofd the national bank notes which are redeemable in legakendem To increase the quan tity of money faster than property increases, is to lessen its purchasing power or ,to increase the Take of property. The purchasing power of gold is much lass now than it was previous to the discovery of the rich mines - of South America, Mexico, California and Australia; but when the increase of money comes from' the mines it comes slowly, and the increase of property and populatiOn will gener ally keep pace with it, and no de rangements of trade are produced. Bat when a government:issues paper money, as pa government was cum- ' pelted todO daring the war, as fast aa several steam presses could print it,' then money becoMes plenty and cheap and (property and labor dear, and the debtor can 4 pay his debts with half the money he expected to pay when paper 'money was at par with gold;' and , the creditor, who is obliged to receive such inflated cur rency, considers himself defrauded of his just dues. • CASTELAR. DEATII OF JOSH CAMPBELL. Jomi Ceurnm,•who died in Phila delphia on Wednesday last, was widely known throughout the State, and bad many warm friends and rel atives in this county. The Press an nonnies his decease in the following • biographical sketch: It grieves us to announce the death of Mr. John Compbell, thcp well known and , highly-esteemed book seller and publisher of this city. His health had so much declined in the early part of the year that for several weeks he bad not been able to attend in his place of business. Latterly there had been a gradual decline of his bodily strength, but he retained his intellectual faculties to the last. He died yesterday without pain and fully prepared fors the great change. Mr. Campbell was an Irishman, born the county of Armagh. He re ceived a classical education in the College of Killarney, famous for the gobd scholars it has sent into the world. He removed to Manchester, England, about 1835, and sold hooka, some five years later, in High Hol born, Lyndon. He earnestly hee4ie the advocate of Chartist principles, boldly writing and speaking in their favor at a time when, they, were the reverse of popular among the " ra spectable " middle class of England, but he lived to seer nearly every one of the " six points of the Charter," including vote by ballot; secured to the people by successive acts of Par- , liameiat. • Mr. Campbell came to this country in 1843, and settled in Philadelphia. His thorough knowlefte of books, old and new, enabled him to build up °a large and profitable business, which, of late years, was still more extended/ by his publication of nu merous law books. He was the first person, some years ago, to open a bookstore in Sansom street, between Seventh and Eighth streets, which, since then, has generally been known as Booksellers' Bow. For many years Mr. Campbell took an active part in politics on.the Dem ocratic side. He always was a read ing man, and his private library, con sisting of the best editions of the best authors, handsomely bound, was one of the largest as well as the most varied in Philadelphia. With French, English, Irish, and American history, particularly during the last hundred years, he was thoroughly acquainted. The writer of this, who• knew him well, never met with any person who was so well acquainted with the events Cif the French Revolution. His memory was on a par with his knowledge ot that great volcanic eruption of misgovernment and pop ular indignation. Mr.' Campbell leaves his family, consisting of the widow, two -ions, and as many daughters in prosper ons circumstances. His eldest son, John H. Campbell, a rising and able lawyer, was the youngest member of the late' Constitutional .Convention, and has edited the Legal Gazelle since its commencement. The second son, William J. Campbell, who graduated in medicine in the University of 'Pennsylvania; has latterly been as sqciated with his father j in the pub lishing and book-selling business at 740 Sansom street. In conclusion, it may safely be 'declared that John Campbell died a good Christian, "in charity with all men,",not leaving an enemy behind him. THE BEPUBtIOAN PART! AND PRES- IDENT GRANT'S VETO. We 'have not lost our confidence in the National Republican Tarty or the illustrious Chief Magistrate of the Nation. We have not for one moment believed that the people of -the land were ready to return to Bourbonized ,Democracy. We still believe that they have had enough of the frauds of Tammany—the Semi : , Secession of unrepentant Sonthern Democrats and the everlasting fault finding of the so-called Liberals. A , Party which , can boast like the Re, publican Party of having been chief tyiinstramental inputting down the. most,gigantic Rebellion of modern times—a party which can point to its Liberation of four millions of slaves —to its Restoration of Order where once , existed chaos —to having given the Country a sound, uniform and safe currency—to its adjustment of our all-important Foreign compli cations, cannot be'superseded in spite Of its faults by such a Party -as is opposed to it. Now comes up the question what effect upon the Party and upon the Country : will the veto Message of President Grant hti - ve? is no doubt the minst important act of his Administration. This is true in whatever light it is considered. As an indication of what his personal qualities are, it is in the'- highest de gree significant. The calmness of his natural temperament, the sim plicity and sincerity of his purposes, his anxie y noe.lto fail in his daty, the firmness of his convictions, tes ted 13y a studious search for argu manta to shake them, and; not less ,than. these, his prudent reserve, are illustrated by,the-tenorot this dooti. amt.

If the Democratic party takes ground spinet the veto, and against the principle upon which it depends, the wiser memWS of it will almost certainly be compelled to sot with the Republican organization. Those who are conildernt in the long ran that truth will prevail, are not die. .quieted by any serious doubts as ito the issue. —Buffalo Post. TERREPIO BOILER EXPLOSION. KINGSTON, N. Y.

The performances of these blondes, which heretofore had been pronounced u being decidedly improper and immoral, had all at once asstuned an entirely different character, when exhibited in the interest and the light of charity. The number of bald-headed gentlemen, who always grace the or chestra chairs surrounding the footlights of the stage. on these occasions; was greatly increased.
