THE HEPUBEICAN CONTENTION.
:.The- Republican Convent* which
assembled itOtercur Mall on Tues
day afternoon,; was unusually hanno
ttions. The principal biutiness of the
Cor.ventiOnivs the selection of del
egates to the. Stato'Convention, and.
inasmuch as there was intense desire
to see lion. 6.. A. Gttow nominated
for Governor.,) there 'was no contest
over the . choice of delegates. The
gentlemen chosen are well activint
ed with the principal men of the
State, and will, be of great-service to.
Mr. Gaocr.i The time of holding the
nominating ,Convention was. changed
front -Friday the 30th to Tuesday the
trth 'of August. ' -
THE following planks in the Green
back-Labor - Reform platform, adopt
, ed by the
, tonventiw in this place,
.are enough to condemn the move
ment with all intelligent, consistent
men, be they-laborers or capitalists.
They need no lengthy discussion, as
an - y school-boy wilt readily detect
their fallacy :
• %%e favor the . distrlbutl n to actual
settler,. of public:l.nd, with tomb goverment aid
a. may he necesmry to- occupy and improve them;
in lead or extending further all and assigtance to
till road corpot attune.
Thatassegments on taxable property
ilmuld be made on the cumulative Principle, In
creal.ing the rate according to the amount of prop
. erty actually owned.
If the - government is, to afford
• " such aid as may be necessary to
occupy and improve"homes in , the
West, why not do the same thing
here in Pennsylvania? Shall the
government dictate how -men shall
expend their money or where they
shall reside ? , The most generous
- and ample provisions made fPr actual
settlers on the public lands ;by
lU aow's homestead law is all that any
reasbnable man wilt-deamnd, and the
industrious, independent laborer Will
• ask nothing more. .
.lust what is meant by the " eumu
. lathe system of takatiun," Will not be
'appall* to all, but eVidently looks
towardia "division pf property," by
- inereasii4 - the rate of taxation in pro
• portion to the amount-: of property
•• owned. For instance, a man who
.
owns property to the 'amount of
4100 shall be assessed at the rate of
two Mills on the dollar, and the Man
vho 1)y industry , and perseverance
accumulates : one thousand dollarS
worth, shall pay ten times that rate •
twenty mills on the dollar. Commni;
is unnecessary.
'NIS is the season when the prom
ise of the frifit crop is most anxious
ly looked into by growers,. dealers
and consumers. Ainlin variety and.'
amount it is well worthy of regard.
Bet Ween its extreme parallels the
:contry produces every kind except
'the tropicals and, grows some 'species
even of _these on the, peninsula . - of
Florida, in lower California, Louisi
ana and Texas. The Eg, pine, orange,
banana and lemon are all regular
crops in some Stales, while the apple.
pear, peach, plum, cherry and grape
cover a, great area, and hot only
supply most of our own consumption,
to the eiclusioa _of former imports,
but are themselves exported in grow
ing; amounts, fresh, dried, calmed,
- and preserved in difierent ways. A
- statement just published. by the Cin
cinnati Ginelle gives the condition by
comities in two hundred counties of
: 011ie, Indiana.?
; Michigan and Ken
tucky, of the apple, peach, pear, &ape,-
cherry and plum orchards. In-only
thirty-six of these is the promise of
the n peach crop poor; in but:nineteen
does the cherry fail ; pl urnSfail in nine
grapcs in one and apples in two coun
:ties. Elsewhere the prospects, ;Vary
, ling *somewhat under local infinenees,-
range - from an average up to an ex 7
Araordinary, amount; snd the gross
expectation is minsual in amount and
in quality. As our pear orchards In
Pennsylvania, Maryland,. New Jersy
and Deieware are in a good condition,
and thd season of danger is past; and
as the apple and Pear-:trops in New
,York and'New England are large, the
the lovers of fruit and all minufactur
. ers and dealers can look hopefully to
an active season. Canning prevents
great losses, and yet leaves an ample
store for daily consumption.; . ,

HERE is what the Lnficaster Exam
i lins to say on the Gubernatorial
question : • ,•
It does,howeyer, appear that of the
candidates already in the field, Mr.
Grow is becoming very prominent as
a competitor with Wickersham and
Hoyt forithe nomination. ,In con
nection with Mr. Grow's candi
dacy it is but fair to him that certain
erroneous impression•as to his posi
tion in the gubernational campaign
of 1872 should be corrected. By rea
son of his long personal associotion
with Mr. Greely,.Mr - : Grow favored
his election to the' Presidency, but
he opposed Buckalew for Governor.
He was engaged in a business enter
prise iu Texas during our State cam
paign, and was not.at. home on •elec
tion day ; but had he been here he
woind have voted for Ilartranft for
Governor. We make this statement
on the authority of an intimate per
sonal and political friend of Mr.
Grow, who was an earnest supporter
of both 'Grantland Ilartranft in 1872.
'uring every campaign since that
year, when Mr. Grow has been in the
State,lis voice has been heard on
the stump for the straight Republi
can ticket.

Capita
NEVF:R. was the temper of the Re
publican party better than at present.
It was supposed by our opponents
that when the‘ Oleo holders" were
debarred from attending to the ma
chine, it would stop running. Bow
preposterous ! Look at .the party,
how majestically it moves forward
in all partS of the country.: In all
parts of the State the work of elect
ing delegates to the Republican
State ,Convention, is being done with
an alacrity never before surpassed.
Nobody troubles himself about the
office holders; And, those gentlemen
do not - seem to be troubled them
selves, in turn, about their Positions,
being none the less Republican. But
the point we desire to make is; that
the organization of the Republican
party never :Was. more cohesive, .en
thusiastie, and prepared for battle at
the ballot-box than it. is now. Why?
Because its 'vital force is derived
from the people. -

`."That no elephant shall be shot with
anything but a double-barreled shot-gun."
"That it shall not be lawful, to shoot

' That the provisionauf this act shall

At the session of the House on Tins
daY 'morning, the free pipe bill coming up
on final,passage, it was defeated on the,
first call of the yeas and 'nays, only 80
' members - ansaiering in the affirmative.
Sopie confusion And excitement was cm- I
I easioned by members coming in who were
about in committees and elsewhere, ask
ing permission to record their votes.
I 'Leave. to do go was granted by the House; 1
i but a more satisfactory idea was 'carried
I out by a motion being made, which pre- I
I railed, that the rote by which the bill
had been defeated, be reconsidered. The
rquestion, then recurring.on the final pass
age of the bill, it passed by a vote of-1011
I yeas to 57 nays. - 1
This may be looked upon as perhaps
rather a barren victory, for the reason
that if the bill is not 'ruled out in the Sen
ate,
as having already been considered
'and defeated. there, it will stand a very i
slim chance for fa'yorable action by that
body. -

The House resolution providing for the
final adjournment of the Legislature on
May 24th, was referred by the Senate' to
the committee on finance. -
In the Senate on .Wednesday morning,
Mr. Fisher offered a resolution requesting
the House to fix May 10th for the col:udder-
Atkin of Senate bills,
instead of May 17th.
Afterheing amended no as to read "that
the Ifouse be requested toils an earlier day
for the consideration of Senate bills," the,
resolution passed.
Mr. Ermentrotit offered a resolution,
which after a brief debate,• was referred
to the committee en finance, providing for
the appointment of three Senators to con
fer with a similar committee from the
House to agree on an earlier adjournment
than that determined-by the House.
Mr. Cooper moved that the Senate pro
ceed to the confirmation of 31. S. Quay as
Recorder of Philadelphia.
1 The constitutionality of - the appoint
'inept and the eligibility of the appointee,
were then discussed at great length, Dem
i oeratic Senators opposing the confirma-
I tion, for the reason as they alleged, that
the office of Recorder was a county office,
and that Mr. Quay was not eligible to till
it because he hid not resided in:the- city
of Philadelphia for one- year, as they
i claimed the Constitution required that he
should. -
Senators Cooper and Howe argued that
the office was not a county hitt 'a State of
fice, and that consequently it - was not mi
-1 cessary that the nominee for Recorder
I should be a resident of Philadelphia.
At. the conclusion of the discussion,
which was protracted until about one
o'clock, .on a call of the yeas and nays, 33
Senators voted for the confirmation. Of
these 31 were Republicans ; the other two
were Mr. Hussey, regular Democrat of
York County, and Mr. Torbert, Indepen
dent Democrat of Schuylkill County. .-
The other Democratic Senators present
declined to- vote, - except Messrs. Hawley
and llolhen,-who voted in the negative.
The President of the Senate, Lieuten
ant Governor Latta, annimucing the vote,
decided that as two-thirds of the Senators
had - not-voted fot the confirmation it was
not agreed to. .
Mr. Cooper claimed that 33 was tw o
thirds, as Senator Nagle had died, reduc
ng the number of Senators to 49. Sena
tor Cooper then appealed, from the decis
ion of the chair, and was about' to reduce
his appeal to writing," when President
Latta, after a moment's reflection, re
versed his decision, and - Mr. Quay was
declared centime, as recorder for ten
, .
years.
The point in. this case may be a little
fine, but the Republican Senators claim
that the constitution clearly settles it in
favor -of the final decision of President
Latta.: Section Bth of article 4th directs
that the Governor shall make appoint
' meets
,"with the advice and consent - of

.ate." Section 4th of article :3d directs
.thaton the final passage of bills "a ma
jority of the members' elected to each
Muse " must record their.votes in favor
of the measure ; and on passing, a bill
over the veto of the Governor, which_ re
quires a two-thirds vote,- 34 votes would
be necessary, itis claimed, to give it the
constitutional majority, as legislation re
quires the majority to be a majority of
all the members elected. It is contended
-that Senator Nagle, although elected, hav- 1
ing died, is not now a member of the Seri . ;

ABOUT VASA&
EDITOR RETORTER : Unbroken prairie
lands can be bought iu Kansas for from
about• $4 to $6 per acre •of the different
railroad companies; U. S. lands—that is,
the alternate sections within the limits of
the railroad giants—for_s2.so, and in the
central and western portions of the State
there is a good deal of the soil open to
"homesteading." There is also much
improved land that can be purchased
from about $8 to $2O per item, the price
of the latter dependiag chiefly on its pmx
knit), to large *Makes or cities; yet in
some portions of the State, notably in the
vicinity of Emporia (one of the brightest
and most enterprising places on the A..,
T. ti St. Fe. R. It), and Topeka, the cap
ital of the State, good lands can be bought
at great bargains, and at prices not rang
ing much higher than at points 290 miles
farther west. Thus it can be seen at
what prices a man can obtain a home. •
It is claimed, however, by the land de
,partment of this road that the superior
advantages of location, healthfulness of
climate and the close proximity to the.
Colorado market, make these sections
farther west more desirable. I intended
to have made personal examination all
along this road for the purpose of forming
a correct opinion as to the claims of the
different sections of the State, butt was
unable to extend my time for that pur
pose. But let me say right here before I
forget .it, that Kansas is not tb place ter
a man to migrate to at the present time
without means enough to keep himself
and those _dependant upon him for at
least one whole year. There seemed to
be opportunities for getting land to work
on shares, but this is not always the case,
and unless a man with small means can
ascertain this fact from some reliable
source before be removes to" Kansas he
runs verygreat risk. A person with $lOOO
or $l5OO in his pocket, and knowing from
some trustworthy source just where to
settle, with ordinary economy- s can secure
to himself one of the finest homes on the
continent.
The price of produce, of course, seems
very low as compared to the prices of
Eastern markets, and some object to go
ing so far West on that account. The
price of corn ruled last month at 20 eta.
per bushel ; but.it should be, remembered
that ono man can raise, without fertilizers
of any ki. d, about three times as • much
grain as he could pmduce with the , same
labor in Bradford county. This is bemuse
or the easy till4ge of the land in Kansas, ,
and on account of the greater length of
the season toff farming purposes. Again,
a man owning say 80 acres there, can use'
the whole of at for raising grain. He is
under no necessity of "seeding down "
or "rotating" crops. In couples having
no herd law each farmer is obliged to
fence his lands for the protection of his
crops, and hence every man, has "com
mon of pasturage without stint ;" also,
the unrestricted right to cut his hay from
lands lying "Pia"
Fish are in abundance in the small
streams as well as in the rivers. The
"buffalo fish," "red horse," and , "cat
fish," the latter answering to the bull
heads of our own rivers, and all good ta
ble fish, are numerous. In the smaller
streams the latter fish are might weigh=
fug from 10 to 12 pounds, While in the
Kamm or Kaa river, the Arkansas, Neo
sho and Cottonwood rivers the cat-fish at
tain the weight of 40 to 45 pounds.
But I must close thew letters for the
present. I Would be pleased to extend
them if I had the time to spare, as there
are so many of the readers or your valua
ble paper who wish to obtain all the in
formation they can respecting the State
of Kansas. During the corning summer
I hope to give them more definite infer•
mation about the lands of some of the
railroad cowpsnies in the middle and
western ' portlws of that State. I will
merely add that in these few letters I
have given my own name in order to show
that I shrink from no investigation of the
truth of the statement* I may make.
Let me in conclusion caution the reader
against placing implicit reliance upon the
'many papers published in the interest of
land 'agencies. Some of the agents are
high-minded, honorable gentlemen. I
found some of this k ind at. Emporia.
Others, I regret to state, are' not alto
other wholly trustworthy.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
The city of Minneapolis was slak
en , Tuesday evening; by -a terrific
explosion, 'which was traced to the
group of great flourine , 'mills just
above St. Athoy!s Fall's. The ex
plosion came from - the treat Wask
buil Mill, from:which a column of
flame was seen to shoot_ up several
hundied feet, followed by a crash
which crushed - the immense structure
as though it was an egg shell. Pep
ondary explosions instantly destroy
ed the Thompson & Hoyt and the
llumbolt mills. and flames • immedi
ately burst out, communicated to the
Galaxy Mills, the mills of Petit, Rob
bison & Co., Cahill, Ankeny & Co.,
L. pay Sz, Sons, - Day & Bolles, Buell;
Newton & Co., Gorton, Hayward &
Co., the Washburn A and B Mills,
and lesser structures down the bank
of the river nearly to the Minneapo
lis and St. Louis railroad shOps.
The'AeistrUction - caused by' the 'ex
plosion extended much further, glass
being broken for several squares, and
the buildings - throughout the city
shattered. It is believed that: : the
explosion was that of gas . generated

Eighteen men were instantly kill

& Sons, of 28l Broadway, manufac
turers of - rifles, amunition, c., at
Ilion, N. Y., have become financially,.&c.,
embarrassed, ,and have submitted
their affairs to their ez:ditors.
,They
propose to issue howls, to run for
five years, at 7 per cent. interest, to
- their-creditors for the amount of
their claims, secured by mortgage on
the Armory buildibg at Ilion. Their
liabilities amount. to about $1,000,000
end their assets are valued at $4,000,-
Oikbut are not immediately availa
ble. Theassets consist of the arrno
-*at Ilion, which, with real estate
Mid machinery, is valued at $1,500,-
0001 finished arms valued at about
$900,000 ;clairasagainst the Egyptian
and Mexican governments to about
$500,00 ; bills receivable, open ac
counts, bonds and materials, raw
and in a -.pr9ness of manufacture.
Liabilities ate mainly on promuiaory
notes and arc distributed all over the
country. A meeting of the creditors
was held a few days ago at Ilion, at
which the affairs of the company
were discussed, and the creditors
expressed thernselveis iri favor of aid
ing the company, in 'order that the
business might continue without in
terruption. The matter was - sub
mitted to the New York creditors to
day, and they accepted the proposal.
The cause of the trouble is supposed
to be-the inability of foreign govern
ments,to pay their claims Rim arms
furnished them by the Rereingtons.
F4nmEns in the Wcstrii part of
the State have been-the subject of
muehswindling lately in the sate of
horses. Parties pretending to buy
for English : account, have been clean
ing out the stitiles west of the moun
tains, with checks dated ten and
fifteen days ahead, which on presen
tation were discovered to be worth
less.- It seems to us that, there arc
farmers always waiting to be cheated
in this manner, the warning which
the newspapers afford them against
swindlers never being heeded. Peo
plc who won't learn must suffer.
