, Arrlnuatte Delegate Election on
Baturday
Is the day appointed for holding
the Republican delegito elections in
this county, and we again most
earnestly urge upon the people the
importance of, attending &bead meet
ings, and selecting for delegates mien
who will honestly represent die wishes
of their constituents in the conven
tion. Let no trickery be resorted to,
bat let all strive to have a fair ex
pression of the voters in the several
districts, and thus send men to the
,convention who will, as_ near ail pos
Bible, reflect the wishes of the "town
ships in the selection of candidates.
It cannot be expected that a ticket
.can be formed which will, be person
ally acceptable to all, bat the conven
tion can be, and we doubt not will
be, so conducted that no true Re
bublican will have just cause to be dis
satisfied. The gentlemen presented
for the various, offices are men who
have been true to the cause of Re
publicanism, and whoever among
them receives the honest and unbiased
Support of a majority of the delegates
should be heartily supported by every
sincere Republican. If fraud or un
fairness is practiced either in the se
lection of delegates or the nomina
tion of candidates, the people will be
responsible. If there is a full at
tendance at the delegate, elections
and free discussion of the matter, no
dissatisfaction will be manifest, atter

The Annual Fair of the Bradford
County Agricultural Society will com
mence at Rutty Park; in North To
wanda, on the 7th of October, and
continue three days. It has been so
long since the. Society was abandoned
that 'we fear our farmers and citizens
have lost interest in it, but , we sin
cerely , hope they may 'attend the
fair and by their presence and influ
ence give such a tone to it an will
tilake the Society and its exhibitions
Worthy tiro county.
Complaint is made in some quarters
that too much prominence and too
great premiums are given for trials
of speed, and we,think the charge is
well founded. The way to correct such
an error is, for the farmers and those
who believe the I fairs should be con
ducted in such a manner as to en
courage the---real interests of_ . ; sgri
culttiral and the mechanical axis, to
connect themselves with the society
and prevent such blunders in the fu
ture.
The great advantages to be derived
froni these, annual gatherings, if
;properly conducted; cannot be over
estimated. The benefits of the fairs
held in this county during the few
years just prior to the war are still
manifest in our improved breeds' of
cattle and horses, and in the disposi
tion shown among farmers to procure
the best varieties of seeds. The fairs
serve to stimulate effort, by showing
what has been done; to afford an ex
change of information ; to facilitate
sales of stock, farming implements
and household utensils, and thus to
promote the advantage of all con
cerned.' That ;they have served to
stimulate enterprise in agriculture
throughout the country is very evi
dent, and to them much of the credit
of the great advances recently made
is due. We hope the time will not
soon come when agricultural fairs
will be abandoned. Their advantages
are so many and their coat so trivial,
that considered merely as an enter
tainment, they are worthy of contin
uance. The increasing interest man
ifested in them shows that the people
clearly realize their value.
IfirM :7IX/AT Y.
THE FAIR.
thrroirrumvis.—lt is unfortunate
for the Democratic party that it can
not control the ruffians'which belong
to it long enough to get into power.
Just when it needs public confidence
it loses it. Just when the people are
beginning to feel that the party has
reformed and means well, ind that
the devil has been cast out of it, the
cloven foot shows itself, and the old
time rascality crops out in full bloom.
Democracy has a terrible load to
stagger under, and to add to its bur
dCns by increasing its power would
be little short of cruelty. When it
succeeds in civilli7ing Georgia and
Texas it may turn its attention to
the nation. If the rifle and knife
prove. effective civilizing agencies in
those States it may pay to introduce
th9se novel instruments of political
reform a little furthre North. But
we fear . the experiment will fall.
Conversion through fear is not very
lastliFig and the power thus gained is,
only for a day. Democracy should '
issue a proclamation to th o e faithful,
urge them to appear honest and
law-abiding citizens until' the party
is enthroned at the National Cdpltal.
It will be hard work for the faithful
to affect t hedisguise, but it may pay if
kept up for a score of years.
THE firmness of the President has
brought the Nyhite League ' rebels to
a stand in New Orleans. : The con
ceit has teen taken out of them, and
Prst's inflated usurpation has col
lapsed without awaiting the prick of
the boyonet. The Government for
ces, however, yvill go forward; and a
lesson has hcen learnt • which will
doubtless preyent the withdraw' of
"military proti3ction" from Louisiana
again for a good while to come. A
fair - trial of the "let-alone policy" has
been_made, with an honest desire to
see the peopleof the Southern States
take full control of their own affairs,
maintaining an orderly goiernment
in the spirit of justice and homanity.
Experience htiti proved that this hope
was groundless. The experiment
has resulted in failure. The Federal
forces sent to the South, this time,
should stay there so long as the
White Leagues and the Mexican
style of politics remain to curse the
infatuated liemooraoy of 'the South.

Fifteen years ago the ; loyal people
of this country renmnieed the Demo

large majorities ; the voterahave pro
maimed it unworthy -C onfidence.
But of latuWe - bOoti!**alty hear -a
min who bas beet, faithful
and dtvoted in his adherence to the
principles of the party organized to
wrcaL the govcrumeat from the wasp
of a slave-holding and disloyal. or
ganization, *hick had brought us to
the very serge of .rain, Fay, " The
mission of the Republican party ib
ended, and-there arn no great price,
pies to contend for now.y To awl:
we respectfully point to the sts'e 0
affairs in the Smith, and the platforhi
of principles pat forth wherevei Hit ,
advocates of a wt to Mares govern
meat' are to the ascendency.
Our able, and intelligent cotem
porery of the Lebanon Courier hits
the nail sqaare on the iiewl
following article on this subii-ct:
" There are fed* petSohs who rf,flec.
sttffiezently on the matter to give the
Republican party just credit , for what
it has done for the country. It. not,
only has preserved the Union, but it
restored it. When the Republiein
party assumed the r eins of gotel (1 7
ment in 1861 from t e hands of 'Lim
noted Democrat,. James Bechaime,
the Union was prat really dissolved ;
States had seceded and prepared , to
maintain their independence,
_and
the` Buchanan administration' had
confessed that therS was no power in',
the national government to defend
its own existence. ft is not necessary
to refer ti) the lalrs and success of
the Republican pi 7 in restoring the
Union and givingits again a united
country ; but the preservation of the -
Union is a matter that now, and will
for all time, be a vital consideration
forthe American people. Wise meal
hive regarded the preservation of
this.wide-extended country under a,
single government as an impossibili
ty. The interests of a continent aro
so conflicting that theie are always
differences of such wide divergence
that ambitious and selfish men who
pant for power maY take • advantage
of them to foment a discord that may
lead to dismtegration. Few thinkers
believed in 1861 that the far-off Pa
cific country eouldl for any length of
time be kept in the old Union.. It
was said that a in.
might be pre
served for a short!Mier, but the gen;
erailon would see t least four
ate iovernments of th then Un
ion-2-,New Bnel ndd and probably the
Middle States forming one ; the
Southern. States another; the Missis
sippi Valley the third, and the Pacific
coast the fourth. The broad, sound,
just political views, of the Republican
party, has at leaSt postponed any
danger of this kind for an indefinite
period, and has laid the, foimdation
Dr an enduring mid prosperous
ion.
"When the war was gditg on, tlnd
we were spending mosey at the rate
of from ont to two millions a day,
the wisest political economists re
garded, the country as financially
ruined,, and prophec.ed that the ter
mination of the 7ar would find as
so utterly prostrated financially that
general bankruptcy and ruin would
cover the land. The Republican party
met these dillicalties—little less than
putting down thel rebellion—and by
wise and patriotic legislation engi
neered the 'Country out of its troubles
and placed the industries of the land
on a good footing, and gave prower
ons times to the neople.
"Cana palty with such a record be
lightly dismissed from power ? There
is no other political organftation to
take its place. IThe restoration of
the Democtatio party to power, means
simply and surely a re-opening of the
schemes and strn:ggles of the men
who rebelled against the government
for a new life for their lost cause.'
That certainly is something that no
good citizen desires to see. To over
throw the party,. with no
political organization' to supplant it,
means political anarchy, and in that
word'are as many things to be dread
ed as there are evils to flow from the
opening of l'andora's box. 'ye ask
any reasonable ram to give the mat
ter a moment's thought, and then
ask himself if such a state of politi
cal anarchy as 7,0u1d flow from the
overthrow of the Republican party,
with no well established political or
ganization to take its place, would
-not probably prOduce such a discord
and .such a wide. spread conflict of
factions as would almost certainly
rend the Union. and make the proph
ecies of those who believed we should
dissolve into four governments at
least, a reality.
"These dangers may not strike
the minds of in who give the sub
ject, little thong t, with much force,
and yet they are real and startling.
It is but few ears since W 3 exix)•
rienced how nearly' our Union was
overthrown. The, men that planned
and fought for the overthrow still
live, and give there the field of polit
ical anarchy to Operate in and. they
will turn their failure of ton years
ago into a success.".

by the editor of the Louisville, Ky.,

much to prevent the outrages now so
prevalent in the South:
Let not all the blame of violated
law and insulted justice be laid wholly
at the doors of judges, jurori, and
sheriffs. i The people themselves are
much td blame. They have not
shown that abhorrence of crime and
that determination to support honest
officers in arresting and .punishing
criininals which are essential to the
preservation of law and order.
Judge litcllArthri says in his charge
to the grand jUry of Owen:
"Proud as the people of America
are, it is a burning shame that you
are afraid to express your condemn
ation of the out rages perpetrated in
your county diming the past twelve

IET.-111E MILEAGE cirifirloic
While a large nnuaber'of our public men who have
been in the legis ature from the snorthenapart of
our State have the same record as I upon this ques
tion, I am first held up to the ; public as being
" ahead of any man on record," by N. C. EISIIILEE,
in a note addressed to-the editor of the Towanda- I
Journal of Sept. 12. In-last week's!Jonrnat he again
comes out in 4 letter, having, as be says, ;in the
meantime sent to Harrisburg for the Record, and
knowing full welt that I could no reach the people
generally through this . week's Joi,rnal before the
primary meetings are to beheld. he makes a more
extended attack. After sending for the Record he
should have discovered that twelve or fifteen Mem
bers and Senators were on it the same as myself in
the year 1855, and if, he had looked industriously he
would have found more than one hundred cases be
tween the years ISM and 1660 I ThPae cases included
men of both political parties: some of them men of
eminence and high character, swho have been repeat.
edly before the people as candidates for Judicial and
legislative station, and have been Ivoted for by the
virtuous individual who arraigns me 1 I was first
in the legislature in the year 185 b: J ! The law at that
time was that each member shouti receive the nut
of fi ft een cents .. for each mile h shall travel in
coming, to, and returning from, the legislator."
The members representing the northern tier of coun
ties, and in some cases those from the second tier,
had been for some years traveling by the Erie rail
toad, through New York and Philadelphia to Harris
burg, and that was the ord#Pkry traveled route until
the Northern Central was built eking the Susque
hanna river. That route made the actual distance
traveled to and fro or circular froM9oo to 1200 miles.
I found the practico - had beeraor years to travel and
compute "mileage by that route, and the records
show that under the lead of good ia/ l eyers; that had
become the settled construction of titelavw, and the
universal practice. It had been 'nctioned yearly
by the committees on accounts, an conformed to
at the treasury department. The l i e Chief JUstice.
Tnoarelsost, and the Hon: Grozost J Bata ., formerly .
State Treasurer, were the members ore Erie county
that year, and I find they each chk ged 1075 i mlles.
Could a young legiator suspect those men as un
safe leaders, or una nsinted witlOhe meaning and
"contraction of . thel law? I confesil was weak
enough to go along th the , but I have seen
enough since to . iffy me that punt those men,
whose example Ifo owed, are the most unsafe lead
en on all questions of pay that 4n be fottud. Old
mfoffice -holders gro gray in the plate service never
think they can receive too much f r their services!
This mileage by wa of New York could only be jus
tided by a doubtful struetion of the law, and 1
ought to have co aed the law for myself and made
up mileage accor gly, regardiea of the custom. I
simply did that w ch my predecessors, my cpl
leagues, and my successors did; nothing more, and
nothing less, and I am free to say that I am ashamed
that I did not do better. 1 ' ,
During the last legislative days of the session of
1855, after the Mileage of members was made up,
,the law was changed in roferenaa to pay, mileage
and stationery, by an amendment made in commit-•
tee of conference,. and adopted by both Houses:
The allowance for stationery was fired by law in
both cases, which Attorney ETAIIII# probably knew
when he made lais comments, although he leaves it
to be Inferred that I charged what I ,pleased--(es
some folks nand- to do in the Bogiater's office). The
provision in reference to mileage was changed to the
„ ordinary Mail rents,' and wee spudded as the
route by which mileage was to be computed. • The
ordinary mall fOnto freni Towanda to Harrisburg
was by way of averly, Elmira, VOliwmaPort, Cali*:
wins and Philadelphia, and that was the legal route
that governed the mileage ; that accounts for the
change in my mileage , in 185 G. 1 conformed to the
change in tie law, and since I am attacked, 1 Bar
poi?, I may sag what is true: that tho two members

northern tier , who did so—the others continuing the

or justification for resort] to force
or revolution to-upset it. The PreSi
dent was bound. 'to put Om such
an attempt, and to restore the Kell
logg gover.q.ent. But if any of the
minor officers nnder the, Kellogg
government r refuse o neglect to re
sume their offices the President has
no power to compel them to do so,
nor has he the power to appoint
others to fill ,their places." Mr.
Johnson, therefore thinks , the best
solution of the i difficulty would be
for both Kellogg and McEnery, and
the Lieutenant Governors under
them-,-to anal submit to a new
election: •
AZTLCIT, Sept. 21. 1874.
THE result of the Contee for the
Judicial nomination in Sellivan coun
ty was a unanimous instruction of
the conferees . for Col. SMITH. Inas
much as the contest in Wyoming
county was very close the Colonel's
friends think the conference should
nominate hini. And there seems to
bo justice in the demand.
