BY a late decisio n of the Supreme Court
in the case of the Armenia Insurance
Company vs. Petit, and wife, an import ,
ant question in fire-insurance law is set=
tied in this State, Judge PAXSON deeidel
that in other States the rule appears to
be 't that the issuing of a policy when a
ipoction.Of the questions in the applica
tion remained unaswered is a waiver of
'answers to such questions. -. . As
this rule seems reasonable we adopt it.
Having issued the policy, the Company
must be presumed to have been satisfied
with the risk."
llosr distressing accounts continue to
come of the suffering of the people of Ire
land from scarcity of provisions and fuel.
All accounts agree that the distress is
steadily increasing,' and news has been re
ceived of many deaths fr m starvation.
In the meantime the agitation goes on in
all directions, and numerous agrarian out
rages are reported. Further arrests have
been made of persons suspected of com
plicity in outbreaks at Claremorris, one
of the leading agitators in that vicinity
being among the number. At a meeting
of the Home Rule League a resolutio
was passed bfacclamation thanking the
people of the United States for their sym
pathy and liberality to the distressed peo
ple of Ireland.
We trust that the Republican Con,
vention to meet on Monday next will
be composed of delegates frdm every
election district. The' Rep4blicans
of the county should be well repre
sented that there may be a well de
fined expression of their sentiments
and wishes. We hope that its .pro=
ceedings will be conducted in no
narrow 'spirit of partizanship, nor for
the purposd of gratifying malevolent
or vindictive feelings nor for the
subservence of private or selfish in
terests, but solely with reference to
the promotion of the welfare of the
party and contributing to its success
in the coming election. Having no
axes to grind, no mercenary schemes
to promote, the REPORTER has no
desire to create a feeling for or
against any of the very acceptable
names suggested for the Presidential
nomination. What we particularly
wish - to impress upon the Republi
cans of Bradford is, the overwhelm
ing importance of the struggle which
is soon to take place, and the great
necessity there is for harmonious and
united action. Whoever would cre
ate discord and confusion in our
ranks is a traitor worse than an operi
enemy, and should be treated as all
traitors deserve..
It would be unwise to commit the
Republican party to any candidate
or to any particular course at such
an early day. Although the Confed
erate Brigadiers in Congress are now
on their good behavior for the ex
press purpose of quieting the appre
hensions of the Northern people, Tet
there is no security fqr the future,
and occurrences may happen within
a few months_ which will change the
whole aspect of - political affairs, and
make a nomination which would be
very proper today extremely injudi
cious in June. Hence, we do not
believe that it is prudent nor proper
now to tie the hands of the Republi
can party; but we would 'leave it to
the judgment of the assembled Na
tional ,Convention to determine who,
under the circumstances, was the
most available candidate. /Who that
will be, time and the situation
alone can determine.. We hive the
utmost confidence that, impressed
with the importance of making a
wise selection, and fully aware that
the Candidate must be acceptable to
the people, oving,to the closenesit of
THE COENTY CONTENTION
the contest, the ehOice may safely . be
left to the judipient of the Conven
tion. - _
We do not mean to hairnet° that
the popular will maYilotbe expressed,
but in nine cases out of ten where
resolutions of instruction are forced
through a Convention they are not a
correct expression of public opinion,
but intended for private use and . for
the purpose of advancing selfish ends
The Republicans of. Bradford have
usually pursued a wise and sensible
course by selecting reliable men as
delegates—men' who understood the
feelings and wishes of our people?
confiding in their discretion and
fidelity, and holding thenuesponsitde
for the proper exercise of the power
delegated to them.
KEEP COOL!
That is our advice to those excited
Democrats --and hysterical Repub
licans, who- are becoming terrified
and boisterous over the matter of the
Republican nominee for the Presi
dency. That the Democracy should
bother themselves about our candi
date is perfectly natural. They are
hankering after the flesh-pots. They
have been kept out in the cold for
twenty years, and they are painfully
anxious to get control of the govern
ment. Consequently they have a
great interest as to who shall be our
candidate. They cannot control nor
disgOise their anxiety, and they of
of course, attempt to' demolish the
strongest first, because Ithe strongest
•
Is the greater obstacle ' in their way.
The Democratic programme :is ,so
plain that the dullest and most un•
concerned cannot,mistake the inten
tion. It is to seize upon the Presi
dency should the popular declaration
be against them. For this purpose
:Republican Congressmen will be un
seated in violation of bOth law and
decency, so that a majority of the
Congressional delegations will be
controlled by the Democracy.' What
has happened in Maine is an indica
tion of the desperate and revolution
ary measures which will be employed
to set aside the popular will, and pre-,
vent the peaceful inauguration Of the
President should the 'verdict be
against them. Raving such treason
able and revolutionary designs, it is
to be exqected that the plotters
should be fn the greatest fear of the
man who Would be most certain to
thwart their plans. Of course, they
cry out, the loudest against the man
they dread the most. .No one can
blame them for this, though it 'is not
exactly discreet.
But so far as Republicans are con
cerned, , there is eser3 reason for
moderation. It will not do to be
terrified by the outcries of th 4 De
mocnicy whose attacks upon the
Republic /n candidatei remind us of
the Chinese: method of •goingi into
battle, with a great beating of gongs
and tom toms, to frighteg the timid.
The beat use to be made of the noise
and Obuse of the Democracy, is to
arrive at a correct understanding of
the desires and purposes of our ad
versaries. By doing this We can
easily determine which of the per-,
sons named is the rOost dreaded by'
our opponents, and besides we can
know in 'a great measure, what we
will have to meet during a protract-
ed and bitter canvass. Fair words
from the Democracy are all very
handsome before a nomination, but
after that ; the vials of partixanship
and vituperation will be opened, and
the fair spoken words may prove to
have been uttered for the purpose of
entrapping the Republicans. When
you know what an adversary desire's
you to do, it is always best not to do
it.
We notice that some of our Re
publican contemporaries are exercis
ing themselves upon the Presidential
question, in a manner which is
neither discreet nor proper. They
are endeavoring to create booms,
with an eye upon prospective post
offices, or for the gratification of their
vindictiveness.. If the nomination of a
candidate for the Presidency were
equivalent to an election, Republi
cans could afford to sneer at the
prominent and active men in the
party, and wrangle and stir up strife,
and gratify their petty malignity
generally. But such is not the , case.
The leaden; will need to exercise all
their wisdom, and the party must
give a hearty and undivided support
to the nominee or we shall not be
successinl.
It is no time now to denounce the
men who have done such efficient
service in the past for the party and
the country. Bat for the CHANDLERS,
the CAMERONS and Suransms, the
Presidency would have been lost in
1876, and TILDEN would have taken
the Presidential chair by virtue - of
the forcible disfranchisement of
Southern voters. Nothing but their
courage, promptness and shrewdness
saved us from the -perils of a Demo
cratic Administration. These men
are no less anxious now than they
were in 1876 for the success of the
Republican candidate, and upon
them will depend in a large measure
the conduct and successful terthins
tion of the campaign. - Hurrah and
gush does very-well before a Conven
tion meets, but afterwards comes
business. The ranks are to be closed
up, and the fierce onslaughts of an
unscrupulous and desperate enemy
repulsed. There must not be any
weak points, and to elect our - Fred:
dent in 1880 will require the united
strength of the party.
There are several candidates men
tioned, and the Republican voters
have their preferences. It is their un
doubted privilege, and it is bad
policy to denounce them for it, or to
By in a passion because there are
differences of opinion as to who is
the proper man. Bulldozing don't
sower. 311 iho - Republica PaTth
whether it qs attempted by Demo
cmta or Republicans: So we advise
our readers to keep cool; don't act
hastily nor foolishly; partlcularly
don't allow your enemies to frighten
you with the spectres of imaginary
evils; don't permit the Democracy
to dictate what your preferences
shall be, and aboie all be ready when
the Chicago Convention makes its
choice, to hurrah for the nominee
and work for his election. .
SHOT AT AND LIED AT
Ex-Senatoi HOwz basin the North
American Review for February an
article in which he considers the
third term question and what the
framers of the constitution said and
did with respect to, the propriety or
impropriety of repeated -re-elections
of, a citizen to the Presidency of the
United Stated. We do not propose
to give an abstract of the article or
the argument, but refer to the view
taken by Mr. Mows of the bugaboo
business connected with the third
term discussion, a matter to which
we alluded the other day. Mr. Sows
asserts that the bugaboo business de
feated GRANT'S renomination in 1876
because " a political party must be
brave and conscientious before it will
venture to . stake its hopes of the
Post-Offices upon the re-election of a
President who has been fired at by
millions of his countrymen for four
years, and lied , at by more millions
for eight years. But when to the
hostility engendered by villifleation
is added the distrust born of a .popu-
lar panic, no matter how groundless,
temerity itself would doubt the avail
ability of the victim." The phrase
"shot at and lied at" covers the case
exactly. The men who _ fought
in the rebellion and favored it are
the men who charged GRANT, and do
now, charge him, with entertaining
treasonable designs against his
cot i ttry. Thus we have the curious
speetacle afforded of men who really
did try to destroy the government
accusing of a similar Purpose the
man who saved the government from
their assaults; 'and we have the far ,
more curious fact that thousands of
loyal men' are willing to be frighten
ed by the lie. But supposing the lie
to be a truth ; supposing that GRANT
did Cherish a purpose to keep himself
in the White House if he should get
there again ; there be any
reason, in the event of his re-election,
why the minas of patriotic men
should be filled with panic ? Men
who overturn governments by force
have armies behind them. If a
President bent upon revolution could
get the whole of our:army just where
he wanted it, what could he do with
it that would endure against the
wishes of the people ? And how
many of the officers of that army
could be depended upon to back up
a traitorous and patricidal President ?
But then he has the officeholders,
say the bugaboo authors. There are
eighty thousand of them . ; and there
are more than forty millions of
people. The odds are against the
officeholders, even if they should be
Unanimous for revolution. That
they would be is not highly probable,
and as Mr. HOWE remarks, "audacity
itself has not yet. venturd to sug
gest that a private citizen is likely to
ride down people and Postmasters
both, merely because be once con
trolled appointments."
The matter is almost too silly for
discission ; it would not be worthy
of discussion but for the fact that
men of high political and• social
standing hive over and over again
warned the people of their. danger
from this source, ,while the Demo
cratic and guerilli press shrieks
itself hoarse with alarm' cries, and
Democrats in Congress 'pass resolu
tions declaring that a third term for
GRANT is "fraught with peril for our
institutions." When these things
are done and said it is time for people
who have decency and-'honesty, with
intelligence, to protest against them
in the name of fair play: GRANT
may not be the best man for the
next Presidency. It may be inadvis
able to break for him the precedTnt
against a third term; probably it
would be ; but nobody has any right'
to insinuate that he is a traitorous
rascal, and no American' who
..has
any sense will permit himself to be
frightened by such libelous. utter
ances. If the people want GRANT in
the . Presidency they have a constitu
tional right to put him there; if he
should be put there he would un
doubtedly go out at the end of his
term. If they do not want to give
him a third term they can elect some
other man. But, in any event, the
campaign for and against the various
candidates ought to be conducted in
some other fashion than that used by
nurses who compel. babies to behave
by alluding to imaginary black men
under_ the bed.

"Twit Democrats have made a charac
teristic mistake in sustaining the Maine
conspiracy," said the Hon. GALTISIIA A.
Gnow to a New York Triltine represen
tative recently. " Their attitude is in
harmony, however, with their general'
ideas of government. They want a loose
ly organized government, With no. final
arbiter to settle disputes between differ
ent branches on questions of the validity
of powers &seamed by the Executive or
Legislatures, so that when there is any
hitch in the working of the machinery
the whole thing will go into chaos. - They
claim that the-Supreme Court in Maine
has ntiright to dtermine whether a body
pretending to be a Legislature was a le
gal Legislature or not ; but if their posi
tion was correct a Governor might give
certificates totwenty-five men, and those
twenty-five could vote whom they pleased
into the vacant seats. The bogus body
thus constituted could-go on electing the
State officers and making lairs, and there'
would be no way to right the wrong and
constitute the legislative body from the
legally elected members. Such a posi
tion is absurd. ' It would reduce State,
Govermnent to a succession 'of conspira
cies and coup •d' etas. There must be
some way of holding Governors and Leg
islatures amenable to' constitutions and
laws or the rights of the people may at
any time be overthrown." •

In the case Of COMMIS B. §ALTEN•

the defence asked fora postponement of

cases, provided they were continued' to

order, which all the counsel agreed W.
and the Court adopted it. It provides
that all dr) cases go over to an adjourned
court, beginning on the second Monday
in Marchan d continued two weeks, timi
that there be no further continuance tor
any cause. The effect el the pleas of
counsel for the defence is to preclude the
interposition of dilatory tactics to obstruct
a trial.
SENATOR LAXON . , of : Blair County, and
Mr. PAssxona,' of Schuylkill, are the
prominent candidates for Auditor Gener-•
al.
.Both are excellent men, and have
many friends.. Mr. Pessmorts has the
advantage of once receiving the nomina
tion and suffering defeat, at a time when
the Republican State Ticket was beaten,'
and there is a strong feeling that justice
requires his nomination now, when suc
cess is certain. Senator LAMON has been
repeatedly elected, and there is a &cling/
that he has sacrificed himself long enough
to save the district, which is naturally
Democratic, to the party. In 1872 he had
no opposition, and received the full Re
publican and Democratic vote of the old
District, composed of Blair, Somerset,
Bedford and Fulton Counties. In 1874
he:bad a strong opponent in Mr. &kunst.
HENSHEY, but was re-elected by a large
majority in the new district compnaed'of
Blair and Cambria. In 1876 LAWN was
again elected to the Senate by more than
one thousand majority, though the fol
lowing' year showed the District to be
Democratic by nearly fifteen hundred
•
majority.
WE agree with the North American in
the sensible and, well-timed advice con
tained in the following remarks. The
suggestions are temperate and worthy of
consideration and regard : ,
"The ground occupied by the North
American is that there are no leaders
in the party in the State who propose to
set the fairly-expressed wishes and , pre
ferences of the Republican masses at
nought. We assume that the wishes of
the people will be consulted, and, when
made known, will be carried out so far as
striking the balance justly is concerned.-
Hence, should al majority of the counties
send delegates to the State Convention
instructM agaitd, a pledge, the Conven
tioni will regard the instructions as •an
thoritative, and govern itself accordingly.
There is no oth r way so fair and so un
objectionable, and the effort of the coun
ty leaders should be directed to that end.
So much may happen before the assemb
ling at Chicago that the most sagacious
among our skilled politicians are properly
reticent when consulted about men, or
the probable result of the .7.dne Conven
tion. Though the Democrats have load.
ed their party down with blunders and ,
crimes, it is best to bear in mind the fact
that no amount of blundering can deter
the Democratic rank and file from mak
ing common cause with their leaders. We
shall have an united Democratic party to
fight under any circumstances at all like
ly-to rule. And we must refrain from ty
ing the hands of our delegates, and leave
them free to unite on the man who
shall seem to be the best for the
country. That the Chicago Convention
will nominate a man of positive character
is a foregone conclusion. No other de
scription of man will prove acceptable to
the Republican masses, and no other can
successfully contest the field." ''4
Tar. Washington correspondent of the
North iimericen has the_ saggescicm of a
ticket which is commanding coniiderable
attention at the National Capital. The
gamdp is to the following effect :
I learn from a brainy and much posted Pennsyl
theta politician that it is on the programme to
press the name of Hon. Galosh& A. Grow 'before
the Chicago Convention for Vise President. Grant
and Grow It would make a pretty ticket; Grow
being thrown in as a num to the old Liberal ele.
went in the party, which le disposed to regard
Grant as a dish of crow, Indigestible and univalent.

ever, must be taken sum gran salt As to whet!).
er Mr. Grow would be willing to become what old
Ben. 'Franklin proposed should be called "His
Superfluous Illgtmens,r Is a mooted question. .
As to the latter part of that ticket we
are not non-committal. Should the 'Chi
cago Convention "Give us Back our Old
Commander," it would - strengthen the
ticket, and •make it more generally ac
ceptable, by adding the name of Gnow.
°sir: GRANT arrived at Havana, on the

ritILADILPIIIA; Juan U, Mok,
Trafford County Butter" is $ sign
Oftell met with in: Philadelphia. The.
product of your dairies ranks very' high,
though it will not command the price of
the butter node by. aurae of the gilt edge
&idea of Chester and Delaware Counties.
Thire are two favorite dairies near this
city, the butter from which is retailed ,
during the winter at • one dollar per
pound._ It is bought, of course,„ by the
wealthy who cannot a ff ord to eat it. Bit
little salt is used, end most of the butter
sold in the markets bere will keep sweet
but a few days. St will astonish your
farmers doubtless to be told that during
the bat few - moths the sale of eleomarga;
rine has reached such an extent that the
trade of the regular butter dealers has
fallen off fully fifty Or cent. —that is to
say,' one-lialf of the "butter" weekly
sold in Philadelphia is not butter at all,
but an Imitation article. This computa
tion has been arrived at on a basis of fig.
urea supplied by some of the largest
wholesale dealers in the city: Probably
this estimate is too large, but there is
doubtless a largetimount of the fictitious
butter sold as the genuine product of the
dairy, notwithstanding the laws regulat
ing and prescribing the manner in which
it shall be offered fur sale, which direct
that it shall be sold as such. The regu
lar Witter dealers are disposed to attack
the venders of oleomargarine, and by en
forcing a compliance with the law to
break up the sale, as few persons would
buy it, knowing what it was. 1
Winter has hardly put in an ; appear
&bee, yet strawberries are here. Not
strawberries fee the masses, however, but
only for the epicures, and for only a few
be these. The first arrivals for the year
Were seen itr'is Chestnut street fruiterer's
yesterday, having arrived in the.morning
from Charleston, South Carolina. About
thirty-two 'quart boxes were received.
These were marked up at two dollars a
quart; or about seven cents a berry.
The old saying that "murder will out,"
has been contirined by the conviction of
a rough named Theodore J. McOnrk, for
the murder of James Needs, who was a
colored porter employed in White's den
tal depot in this city. The bloody deed
was committed October 7, 1865, and the
victim was found dead in the office of the
establishment. He was lying in.a pool of
blood, his hands and feet bound, a large
gag in his mouth, and there were wounds
in the head, which showed • that t he had
been badly beaten. The safe was , open
and a portion of its contents and other
valuable property had been carried off.
No clue could be obtained to the murder
and robbery, and there is little probabili
ty that the mystery would have been ever
cleared up had not the guilty'agent found
it impossible to keep the awful secret to
himself. •
McGurk, who belonged to a crow in
this city, who were charged_ with ny
crimes, after an absence of some ire in
1877, was in Wills hospital to have his
eyes operated on. There ho enlisted the
sympathies of one of the nurses, and af
terwards accompanied her to Erie, Pa.,
where he resided until his arrest, which
was brought about from his confessions
to the nurse, and to the city editor of the
Erie DispateX.' The jury found him guil
ty of murder in the first degree, and now,
after an interval of fifteen years the gal
lows claims its due. The history of the
case, the evidence and the tragic ending
reads like a 'romance in which crime and
retribution are prominent. ' .
The annual report of Collector Tutton,
shows that during the year 1879 the value
of domestic exports shipped from this
port was $50,685,838, being an increase
of $2,306,807 over the exports of 1878.
The shipnients of petroleum were : 3,241,.
1 503 gallons of 'crude, to the value of
$218,184 ; 82,370,211'. gallons of refined,
valued at $6,930,040. There were also
exported 2,750,027 gallons of naphtha
and benzine valued at $181,263. Bread
stuffs to the value of $.?1,4,108,097 were ex
ported, and provisions valued at $6,777,-
296 ; 1,910 *tassels, with a tonnage of
1,444,363, entered from, and 1,599 ves
sels, with a tonnage of 1,273,083, cleared,
for, foreign ports. The coastwise en
trances were 1,068 and the clearances
1,385. The immigrants arriving during
the year numbered 8,246 males and 4,337
females, a total of 12,886. Of these, Eng
land sent 3,887; Germany, 2,433; Ire
land, 1,870; Norway, 1,283, and Sweden,
1,233.
The telephone has come into very gen
eral use in the city. It has been intro
duced into all the business places and
many private houses. .Ifs banker or
merchant down town wishes to converse
with his family, all he has to do is to be
put in communication with his resider),
and ho can carry on a conversation as
well as if his wife or- fainily was ate his
side. flp a business man" can speak to
thousands of other business men by ask
ing the Main office to put him in commu
nication. The convenience and value of
the telephone will be readily seer, as it
saves an immense amount of, time and
travel.
The huge CoMecum building at the
corner of Broad and Locust streets, one
