CASTER county is one of the few places where real estate has not depre ciatcd• in value.; Farms are. not often to bo purchased, and bring c good prices. Lately at public sase a farm sold at $169 . per acre ; another at C 226, andrunother at :28:1 per acre. The value put upon farms usually varies from $290 to 090 per acre, and the -farmers get rich after paying such prices; Tobacco-raising has en -I:anced the value 'of ; farming lands. THE Washington Peat - illustra toa the Democratic idea of fairness and honesty by advising its party to unseat all the Re pnblica'n members of the House against whom the semblance of a contest can be brought. It didn't need any Etuch advice, as the Democracy in the House have already in several instances Shown their unfairness .Ind disregard of the public will by sdatiag Democratic contestants who had not the shadow of a right-ft') a seat. Is 3lArtir. the Republican candidate for Governor has a plurality .of 20,924 over the next highest candidate, but lacks 268 'of a majority over all, including the scat tering. Ho will, however ; be' elected by the Senate of the State, in which the Re publicans have a majority. The Legisla ture is Republican on joint ballot by 87 Majority ; last year they were in a minor ity of 12. This will carry with it the other State officers chosen and restore Republi can control' in the State administration. .WE !Xi NOT vouch for the truthfulness the following announcement which ap pears in the Philadelphia Record, a Dem ocratic paper : It is given ou• that Mr. K. McCtritt: has been engaged to speak at the Republican meetings in this city in support of that ticket. In 1874 that gentleman was doing- his best for himself on the other side. It will be an interesting sight to- see Mayen. STOELEY introduce the Great Reformer with words of commendation to the 'kind considera tion of a Republican audience." . GENERAL BUTLER has another nemitia tion. His success in capturing political conventions is unquestioned. The Dem ocratic BUTLER Convention of Massachu setts, which met at Worcester_last Wed oesdiy, accepted tie General as their can didate, and he maybe said to be regularly the Democratic nominee, for while there are thousands of Democrats rn the Bay State who will not vote for hire, yet the rnachine — ry of the !party goes to his sup port. "The Convention was very disorder ly, as might have been exi ected, consid ering the purpose for which► it was called. PLArs speaking is one of the eccentrici ties of General Suxustalc. He- was re cently invited to take part in a projected re-union at -Salisbury, N. C., and respect fully declined. He does not think that the time has come for an 7 such display. He says that the meeting would be in fact a Confederate re-union, where he would certainly be out of place. He is not ready to gl'!iify their deeds of heroism, nor to respoild tolthe claim that teeause the 'sol diers of North Carolina were brave and true to their State and Section, their cause was as sacred as the Union cause, which .Snally triumphed and made the Union more glorious and more resplendent than 'before. JEFFERON DAvis has written a letter i; in which he declares he is not a candidate fOr Unitcd States Senator, and does not desire to be elected; that private and pub lic reasons combine to make him averse to return to public life. lie thinks that nn aeeonnt of Northern prejudice against him others can rewler mote useful service OIL he-in "settlitig the relation of the . to the Union." Thisi relation he see settled ill such a wayai will Concede the right , of secession. fir. Davue avowal that he dpes'bot desire to return to the U. d. Senate wou)d not weigh heav ily with the Confederates, should an op portune time arrive for his 'election. It would be fitting that Jays DacreahoUld go back to the -*nate whiCh he left for the avowed purpoie of destroying dm Union, and aid in the consommatlork oY the plans of the rebels for effecting In the -House what they failed-to accomplish by the sword. We are afraid DAVIS' sense of-duty to-the South would overcome his personal ayecillm, in .crree th• Demperc7 of MbisisiiiPpi shill cal' upon hiniage . ln to enter the Senate. , Gin.

He was escorted to the Palace Hotel, and in. a short speech thinked the people for the kind greeting they gave tam, and promised to meet them all and greet them more fully. The General is in excellent health and spirits. The programme for his future movements has not been announced, but he will probably stay on the Pacific coast for some weeks. Raw pleasant it is to see brethren dwell together in unity ! Now herO's the Record (Democratic), of Philadelphia, affection atelyipeaking of the Times (brevet Demo. crit) in this brotherly way : "The Dem ocrats _have learned that, though -the Times Is cheap as a matter of investment, it is a damaging possession. And thus it comes about that in an active business season there is no, employment for a po litical polecat. If the Pennsylvania Rail road Company stiould one of these bright -mornings discover that it bad no further 'r use for a superservceable journal, with. t out charade:and w thout influence, there would go a vagabond out of our gates whose coming was curse and whose exit, would be a theme f r thanksgiving." THE action of the Democracy of PhiHO delphisk bring to mind the old couplet,—= . when the Devil was Welt, The Devil a Monk would be; When the Devil was well, , The Devil a Monk was he." ScktbeMarring factions of the Democratic party, not having. the ghost.of . a chance for elestjng a candidate in Philadelphia, submit' gracefully to being snubbed by the respectable part of the party, and will endorse the nominations made by the Mass Meeting. Had the Republicans acted unwisely; and made objectionable nominations, the wishes of such Demo. crate as J. 0. JAMES and others equally respectable would not have weighed a feather making up the Democratic ticket. it is the Republicans who, by their excellent nominations, have forced the Democracy into a show of decency. dacriv will addresi' a Republican meeting at Corry, on October 2d, and then go to Ohio, where he has agreed to deliver a number of speeches. He was lately in terviewed by. the Scranton ; Republican. He says the Greenbackers wilkhardly poll 20,006 votes in the State ; that Bur. J.Eit will be elected Treasurer ; that the Dem ocrats Can't help nominating TILDEN next year, and that the Republican prospects for 180 are too good for them to be obliged= to nominate any particu;lar man. When the question of the English and Russian missions was hinted at, with a suggestion that Mr. Gnow might!be asked 'to serve his country in one of them, he shook his head, and in a positive way re plied that even if he had the opportunity of going abroad i as plenipotentiary to the Court of St. :lames or St. Pepfeburg, he Would not leave the country. PRESIDENT HATES IS paying a visit to his State, Ohio, and is everywhere meet ing with an enthusiastic reception at the hands of the people. Last week he • at tended a re-union of the survivors of his old regiment at Youngstown, Ohio. The crowd was very large ; President HATES delivered au address; in which he discussed the recently revived dogma of State Rights, quoting largely from the sayings and writings of LINCOLN. The condition of the South was adverted to, in language which shows that the President is fully aware of the condition of affairs there, and not at all pleased at the ungenerous manner in which his attempts at concilia tion and his desire to make a common country have been met by the unrecon structed fire-eaters. He is obliged reluc tantly to admit that lawlessness is general and successful in some communities, though he thinks he detects a growing public opinion against intimidation, even in tho South. The President's addresses are fall of sound, practical good sense, both as regards the finances and the po litical right* of the citizen, and will be approved and endorsed by every true Re publican. Tua Republicans of Massachusetts have nominated a Strong ticket and will go into the canvass to win. Joust D. LONG, the Republican candidate for Governor, was born in Buck&ld, Me., October 27; 1838. He was graduated from Harvard in 1857,= and is a lawyer by *profession. He was a member'of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1875, 1870, 1877 and 187$, and for two or three years was Speaker. He has been a prominent can didate for the nomination for Governor in one or two Republican Conventions in recent years, and in 1878 was elected as Lieutenant -Governor. BYRON Wr.s‘roN, of Dalton, was nomi nated for Lieutenant-Governor; 4zonetz Mansros, of New Bedford, for Attorney- General ; CHARLES R. LADD, of Spring field, for Auditor ; HENRY" B. PIERCE, of Abington, for Secretary, and CnartrArs ENDICOTT, of Canton, for Treasurer. The Republican papers of Boston are gratified with the nominations and the platform, which leafs with live issues, and say that the party is united upon them, that all differences are buried, and 'a splendid vic tory is assured by the action of the Con vention. BASELY DEGIEfiIEZATE. There was a time when the Democ racy bad leaders whose names ever had power to rally. the• people; they were men of brains, of conscience; and of fame as statesmen. But that was long ago. When those great leaders, disgusted with the subser viency of the lesser lights of the par ty, stood apart from the organization and raised the voice of warning, they were howled down, ostracised and maligned. Then came an era of bar gain and sale, of craft and cunning. And there were men of superlative cunning in that time; men who man aged the affairs of the party with such craft that they seemed to lead, and perhaps did lead—sometimes to victory, but oftener to defeat. The war let, the light in upon their deceits and lies, and ,they were glad to retire from public gaze. For years the par ty had no leaderm in Pennsylvania. The material out of which leaders are made seemed 'to be exhausted. But of late yeara i a few men have struggled to the fore and assumed to lead. From - the old-time .. , tiown to Watit.aos and a dieadfhl plunge; It is that the common: , is the abler 4444, has none of the qualities Oil go to constitute r the leadjeAlf.oke people: 11is gymnastic tvite - bistyear lost for him any repu tation - he may ,have had, and', his, curse In the Senate stamps him a failure of the worst kind. Even cunning is better than noth ing; for if a , nip) , tacks brains to dominate, if cunhing he may get the lead. It is a . common saying that you can't catch a fox twice in the same trap , and it is said to the credit of the "fox. But here is a party, once caught and lamed for , life in the trap of subserviency to a gang of trxitors, lid squarely into the same trap by the degenerate leaders of f-:to-day. Such folly has been exhibited!, before, but not, so far as we are aware, by men of brains and common sense. Under its ' present leadership, the Democratic party finds itself up to its armpits in the slough it wallowed in twenty years ,ago. Its leaders were so hundry for power that, they got down in the mire as soon as they had an opportunity, and are willing enough to lie there until their: mas ters shall regain their igst F estate. In, that event, they look forward to the enjoyment or place and its spoils, not caring how it is won, if only it ixt , won. These leaders hiive not gone dciwn into - the mire alone—they have dragged the party down with them ; and the party, true to its pervert,ed instincts, will rally at ,the call of their 'bemired leaders. Thire is no hope for the country under such control. Once in power they would buy and sell the people like cattle, and com pel them to.' i grace the triumph of traitors in fact and in act. COMITY POOR Holl3llt.k - • We have - already called the atten tion of- our readers .to I the tact that the voters of the county are to de cide For or Against a ,County Poor House. We 'again bring it to their notice, as we are' anxious that the question shall be intelligently settled. Whatever may be the decision, it is final, and should be cheetfully ac quiesced in. Involving as it does, responsibilities and issues of consid erable magnitude and of great im portance to tax-payers, it is proper that it should be thoroughly discuss ed in all its bearings, both as to the humane care of the paupers, and its financial consequences to the citizen. The subject should be fully and*n pletely understood, and we shall will ingly.give room to any well consider ed and temperate arguments which may be advanced pro or con, in the matter of the Poor House. The magnitudeof the (ideation should call out every voter. There should be such an expression -of the popular will at the ballot-boxes as will show without a chance for controversy what, is the desire of the people, that the County' Commissioners, upon whom falls the labor and responsi bility of consummating the dictum of the voters,-may have marked and de cidedinstructions as to their action. We trust that every voter will go to the polls prepared to vote For or A l gaidst a CountyiPoor House—lthat ha - will go early, even if he does not vote often, and then 'whatever the decision, he will not have occasion hereafter to feel that he has been 're miss in fullfilling his duty to himself and to the unfortunate beings who are thrown upon the care of the com munity. For years past the Mormon authori ties have manifested a desire to ob tain the adMission of 'Utah to the Union as a State;. and there are in dications that an earnest attempt will be made ,during the existence of the present Congress, probably dur ing the coming session, to accom plish this object. . The chance , e. of the success of such an effort lies almost wholly in the fact thatthe Demo. cratic party, which now controls Con gre:ss, would be the gainer by the admission of Utah. The ign6rant and bigoted foreign•born popula 7 Lion of the Territory has precisely such affinity foi the Democratic party 'as the ignorant l and bigoted foreigners who live in other parts of the country have. They are Demii: crate to a man ; and if Utah should come In, not only would there be two more Democratic votes in the United ' States Senate, and an enlarged Demo cratic delegation in the House of Representatives, but there would be several'additional Democratic votes to count for the next man who is nominated to tife Presidency by the party: These onsiderationw may persuade the Democratic Congress to give the Mormons what they want, in defiance of public opinion, for there can be no doubt whatever. that the sentiment' of ; the country .is against such a concession. We can not enforce a most important federal law in Utah, now, when the machine; ry of the territorial gover,nment is in our own hands, and if Utah shall become ,a State, a State in which the Mormons, being a' vast majority of the peOple, will control the govern-. meat in all of its departments, there will no longer be aby use of attempt ing to suppress polygamy. GENERAL STEWART L. WOODFORD, of New York, volunteered to accom pany Mrs. Crum:ion& to Kemper county, and assist in the trial of the murderers of her husband and chil dren.

The 'never a pktrficlfarce.,: and there vies the - alI, chance of convicting the accii+l l although the judge, prosecuting' attorney and, his assistants all did their duty bravely and properly. -The. nine white men on the Jury were 'lntelligent, but the' three negroes luiff neither brains not enrage, and :the jurymen 'were all Democrats except one—a ~ negro. The verdict did sot meet with favor among the white or black Republi , cans of the county. nor among the better class of -Tiemocrats, but it rep resents the feeling. of a large majority ofthe influential people of the county, who say it - was unfortunate, ..but natural and reasonable that Judge Chisholm, Gilmer and McClellan should have been killed, because they were offensive men; and they affect to believe that the murder nof the childi.en was accidental. The 'court tried Ito execute the law, but the jury, with public opinimi behind it, nega. tined this good intent, and practi. oily endorsed the crimes. - The only point gained was in having a fair trial - without rioting, and General Woodford holies for a change fur the better in future. After a thorough invetitigation, - the committee appointed by., the State Legislative to inquire into the sup posed over`-issue of bonds authorized by the act of May 4, 1852, and the act of April 19, 1853, , his come to the conclusion that the State , has not been defrauded, and that the appar ent excess of . the issue of 1852 was occasioned by the substitution of twenty-one bonds of the denonlina tion of sl,ooo' of the loan of 1853 for a portion of the unused bonds of the former series. It appears that these bonds, to the amount of $lOO,OOO, had been deposited in the Girard Bank of Philadelphia and receipted for by that institution. When a set tlement was made' with the bank by Treasurer Magraw in 1856 it was found that $49,000 of the bonds were missing. The bank thereupon de livered to the Treasurer other secu rities of equal value and paid up the -seemed interest. There is no entry in the books of the bank which shows what became of the $49,000. The books of the Treasury show that the State lost nothing, but the mystery -of the disappearance of the bonds from the Girard Bank has not been solved. However, it was not the province of the committee to inves tigate the supposed kisses of the bank. its duty ended when the State securities given in lien of the missing bonds had been traced back to thn 'Preasury. The Committee has ascertained that while $49,000 more of the issue of 1852 haS been redeemed than was supposed to have been issued, the apparent loss was fully compensated for , by the return of $49,000 of other issues to the State Treasury and the canceilation of the same. The quarter centennial celebration of the settlement of Kansas, which took place on Tuesday last, was a magnificent success. Business was fairly suspended in Lawrence, and they citizens of Douglass county turned out en masse. More than 1'2,000 teams crossed the wagon bridge for Bismarck Grove, anfl - the railroad trains ran every- twenty minutes between the city and the grove. Not one quarter of the peo ple could get into the tabernacle. The grounds, fifty . acres in ex tent, were thronged. Several trains ran from all the neighboring cities. It was estimated that 20,000 people were present. The Governor and most of his staff officers were on the . ground. Rev. Edward Everett Hale, of Boston, delivered the address in the afternoon, and short speeches ;were made (by Col. Forney, Gov. St. John, ankothers. An •" old settlers' love feast"' was held in the evening at the %abernacle. No accident occurrecl i and everything passed off well. The motives of Secietary &mows for making exceptional efforts to get the standard dollar into circula tion'have teen the subject of niucb comment ,and widely-varied inter pretatiot In reply to a question ofi l this fooint, he said that the dollars are in the way. They are filling up the Treasury vaults. With every month's additional coinage the mat,• ter is getting worse. He is desirous also of giving the, silver men all they want of the dollars, and thus 'of silencing the complaint that he is hoarding silver. Secretary SHERMAN said that the dollars are now going out quite rapidly, and there are in 2 ' dicatiOns that those sent to distant parts of the country will remain iii circulation. . Says the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Constitutionalist, " If the north ern Democrats keep up their feuds and play,the devil with the party, they need not count on a solid south after 1880." Suppose they play as their best card, the devil of the party, Tilden, for 1880, the question is can they count on the solid south then ? Of course not. 1 1 The Washington Star thinks that the Gully-Chisolm jnry made quick work of the subject and. the case went to them from the court. •" In twenty minutes they acquitted the murderer and added iteverid hundred thousand votes, to the Republican party."

Fi natunidly, mug 'have been laooo.ll, for a great many ; people were attracted to the Main, Building by the remembrance of the Great-Exhibition, and . by the ex pectation of seeing objects which wens entirely foreign to an agricultural tion.. As an illustration of the wealth of the State, either in agricultural or , miner , . al productions, or in the skill or enter prise of our mechanics and manufactur er., it was a lamentable failure. There Was a fair show of stock principally from the herds of Sharpies., Young and Cole man's estate, but the display of agricul tural productions was meagre and unwor thy of the rich and fertile counties which border on the city. Whether this was owing to the bad Management of the offi cers, or, the narrow and unenterprising character of the peciple, let others say. The interest of the visitors seemed to be directed firstly fir seeing General Grant's Arabian horses, then to butter and cheese operations, the hatchingl.of chickens by artificial methods, and patent ooffee'pots. If a State. Agricultural Society has any utility or value, it is to illustrate the ca pacities of our soil, to educate the farmer in new and valuable methods, and to ele ven) his noble calling. The Barnum-like method of getting crowds together by ad vertising monstrosities, and by appealing to sectional pride in announcing special "days" is unworthy of an institution which pretends to have in view the ad vancement of the agricultural interests of a great State like Pennsylvania. If the Fairs of the Society do not show the far mer something which if worthy of emula tion, or learn him something of value, they may profitably be abandoned. Many a county fair could be visited with more profit to the farmer in a practical way, than the show which has just closed here. A large audience, amembied in the Bap tist Church,.

Wherever he goes he is always greeted with the hearty welcome of 'his friends, who are legion. The usual expe rience of public men going out of office, has not been his, for he knows no falling off in the number and devotion of friends be cause he is now a private citizen. He has a large acreage of tobacco on his Lan caster County farm, and says ,the crop will be a large one.

While Mayor Stokley and his wife were enjoying all afternoon drive in Fairmount Park, on Wednesday, an accident befell them by which they were both thrown from the carriage, and His Honor slightly and his lady somewhat seriously injured. It seems they were going down the Wis sahickon and driving at an ordinary.gait, when the front axle of the carriage snap ped in the centre.
