THE Washington Peat - illustra toa the
Democratic idea of fairness and honesty
by advising its party to unseat all the Re

whom the semblance of a contest can be
brought. It didn't need any Etuch advice,

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

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

Gin. Onsfir arriveld.lttilbm Francisco
on Saturday met with an
eightusiastkr ntneptiork from the citizens
of that city, without respect to nationality
os Polities. 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,

When the Devil was well,

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.

on the Jury were 'lntelligent, but the'
three negroes luiff neither brains not

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

party."

The Fair of the Pennayhanis State Ag
ricultural Society closed on Saturday. 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.
