ARE WE ALL AT ROBS.
Republicans -of Bradford, now is
the time to begin the campaign. A
bard and vital contest - is at hand
United, we can win; divided, we
must fail. In this county are' able
and reliable men, who can unite the,_
Republican vote and •-draw some
strength- from the opposition. To
waste the opportunity by 'divisions.
engendered by the unwise • ambition
of aspirants, or on account of local .
claims or-prejudices, will be, under
the .circumstances, little less than
criminal. The best talent, the larger
experience, and the greatest populat'
strength should be called to the
front We cannot win with incom
.petent or unpopular candidates, or .
those against' whom strong local -or
personal prejudices may temporarily
exist. These must be-sot aside for
the time being, and the best mentor
the present emergency taken.
- Republicans, we must organize for
the selection, of candidates and 'for
their election when nominated: There
should be,dci delay in this work. It
must be done now, and. in the- face
of covert 'lint imminent revolution, in
the face of the payment of --rebel
claims, the overthrow of the consti
tuted authorities, the destruction of
the public credit,.the degredation-of
labor, the persecution of loyal men,
and. the stamping out of lOyal senti
ment. This is riot declamation ;it is
sober' reality. The record of the
Democratic party in the past and
present, read - aright, affords iricon
testible proof. These words are
spoken not to alarm, but to forewarn.
Look at the attitude of the Demo
,
cratie leaders, the cloud of-rebel
claims, the- multiplied assults upon
the ptiblid Treasury, the suppression
of popular suffrage in all the South,
the practical - abolition of popular et
ucation where these leaders have un
limited ,control, aid answer at the
ballot-box whether, in your opinion,
these men, flushed with victory, will
forego the purpose so audactouslyde
terthined upon when 'only the hope
of success inspired them.

"tlenerally there is no pain at he
last moment, for it seems' that t
body- suffers in proportion to its re
moteness from death It is common
ly-supposed thatevil men die in great
horror of their doom. They don't.
Wicked men usually pass out of life
as-tranquilly as any one else. Tram
quillity, is the law of decadence. Pain
-or exquisite pleasure at the last are
only experienced in exceptional cases.
Men suffer more every day of their
lives' than they do in dying. EVery
man subject to the incursions of rheu
matic afflictions, or -to the pangs of
toothache, suffers a hundred :times
more -than he will when he is' on: his
death bed: No de4h is more pain
less than a sudden death. Living.
stone records his• experience when
sprang upon and struck down by a
lion. The moment when the beast
was on him was one of the exquisite
tranquillity. No death is too sudden
ftirliiM who is doing his duty. Not
the stroke of-the lightning; not the
fall from the beetling precipice. Right
living is the correct way to right dy

VOTTOiLLE, July. I.l—This
morning at the tsual hOtir for,Ser
vice at the Polish Catholic church;
At Shenandoah, the priest on' going
to church found it loCked and nailed
shut.- - A large crowd of eicited_ men
and women were present defying him
to open or -try to. enter the church.
Upon attempting to enter ho was as=
sailed with stones and clubs by the
.crowd. _ -
Thirty .men and women Were
at once nrreste4 and lodged it
the lockup, and wily probably be
brought here to morrow Morning:
The: priest was • also Attacked With .
blaclsjacks,. knives and revolvers.
This- is the demonStratioit
made by the' congregation against
him. •. There are two elasses of: Pol.
finders there, a large number of theme .
demanded a change in their priest,
while others insist that. the. present
incumbent shalhretriniu.:
The ,priest in charge is dCterinilled
to rule, and will not resign, hence the
trouble. It' is asserted that the
prompt! arrival and interference . ..of
police prevented . the exciting crowd
from killing him, on. tlit spot. '4
number of persons including : the
priest, received wounds, none of
which, however are of a serious. char
.acter. • •
THE RESUMPTION QUESTION,
.11%tku.Noros, July 6.- 7 -In conver
sation with Secretary Sherman to-day,;
it was ascertained that ; _Contrary to
report, he has not decided tOannounee
the resumption Of , specie
.. Payinents
in advance of the firAt'day of January
next-4he time fixed 'by law. ° Ile
says, however, that resumption may
come before .that time by natural
causes, or when the premium on
specie shall disappear; that we :are
now approaching • that point;; and
that it is the duty of the governinent
to employ . all legitimate meats to:
produce :such a r43tilt. - • .
The coin balanceYn the Treasury
is now about two hundred . millions,
1 which may- be considered certainly
available for the rusuaiption of specie
yavments at the date - fixed. That
balance has been steadity increasing,
and as there is . no idea that it 'will
fall below its present figure, the fact,
taken in connection with the preaept
low premium on li . old, forms.the basis
of the general anticipation here that
1 re•zumption will occur even.beforeThe
tir.t of net, January.

the framers of that 'instrument, There
is notliinr in- the constitutionthat
eau he construed as confe ring the
power on Congret;s to issue legal
tender paper money in time of peace.
and its exercise even in time . of 'War :
has never been justified except as.a
measure ofneees - :h,y. The constitu
tion gives : Congress the rifht to,win.
money, but this cannot by miy stretch
of construction be ma`de to include
the right of issuing legal-tender . pa
per money. It pt:ohibits - the States
from " emitting hills of credit," , and
thus, -br impliestion, teterves this
right to the United States; but* hills
of credit and legal-tender notes are
very di.ferent tbire's. : Nearly ninety •
years•ago . Ilexande? Hamilton, the
first Secretary of the Treasury, and
perhaps the greatest. who has ever
hiletrthat position, said in 'a report
-to Cungt:css, in rt-gard to it:s• power

.
in tlic history of the world been
\proposed to confer', the power ,of
