THE STATE CONVENTION'
Special Despatch to the " Reporter."
•A. special dispatch to the - REPonTra
from Harrisburg, this Wednesday, at 4
r;. 31., says that the Republican State
Convention was orgaidz'ed by the: election
of RUSSELL ERRYTT (GRANT), as Chair
man, by a vote or 158 to 92 for LAW
RENCE, (BLAME). ,
That the delegation to Chicago will be
instructed .for GRANT, and to vote is a
unit
Senator LEMON was nominated foi
Auditor General, and Hon. H. GRISEN4,
NoitlMmpt,sn comity, for Judge of the
Supreme Court. -
THE latest joke is the alleged tatixbing
of the royal noses of the two midshipmen
sons of the Prince of Wales. The story
goes that the lads were persuaded to'
allow a "broad arrow" to be tatooed on
their noses,•and that the mark is eradi
;cable, whereat the fond parents and the
English nation are nearly frantic..
Tin: financial' condition of the City of
Williamsport is not calulated to make the
taxpayers feel cheerful, nor enhance the
value of property in that enterprising
town. The debt is $610,000 prinCipal and
$110,347 interest accrued, overdue and
unpaid. The city of booms will have to
get up a heavy financial one before this
fearful incubus is removed.
SECRETARY Scnraz has summarily re
moved Indian Commissioner HAYT with
out allowing him the privilege of resign
ing. The alleged causes for the removal
are that he withheld important informa
tion from the Department, and that
charges of dishonest conduct preferred
against him before the Investigating
- Committee of the Board of Indian Com
missioners had been proved. This Indian
busineSs seems to be - a Pandora's box. It
involves us in • expensive wars and cor
rupts everybody connected with the fur
nishing of supplies. How to kettle it is a
grave question. Bayonets do not effect
much, and moral suasion less.
- SUGARS, when imported, pay a duty
according to what is called the Dutch
standard, being graded by color; conse
quently they are colored artificially to
lessen the rate of duty: A just classifica
tion and appraisement is very difficult,
and several plans are proposed by the
importers and scientists to fix upon a-just
an,d proper method. The government
now is using an instrument called the
polariscope, which tells the amount of
saccharine matter' the sugar contains
without regard to apparant color. A dif
ference of one or two cents per pound on
a cargo of sugar is a large item, and of
cours6 th 9 importers resort to all devices
to obtain the lowest rates.
TnE Maine difficulties have had an end
ing at last, and have been settled just as
_every reasonable and sensible person sup
posed they would be. The Supreme Court
of the State declined to recognize the
Fusionist. bodies and declared the Repub
lican Legislature the legal one. The
Judges do not recognize that there was a
.inoritra in the Fusionist-Legislature when
it, organized' without counting men who
appeared to be elected under the illegal
modes pursued by the Governor. The
Senate was also . legally organized. The
. opinion of the Court is . very clear and
emphatic inmecordince with the law and
the facts, and the result has been that the
Fusionists. have disbanded, the legally
,elected members taking their seats in the
regular Legislature. This, bold attempt to
disregard the' popular wi f ll and subvert
the State GOverument has been signally
disconilitted,. and the actors in it will be'
consigned to political oblivion..
THE Indian problem has been a difficult
one to solve. The untutored mind of the
2 noble -red man somehow don't seem to
readily comprehend the methods of our
rulers. Now a new and powerful factor
enters into the settlement of the difficulty.
Heretofore only the male, redskins were
, brought to Washington to see their Great
Father. To be sure, they readily took to
whisky, but !the other practices of civili
zation they steadily and stubbor t nly ig
nored, and
,went back to their homes as
bloodthirsty, treacherous { , and unrecon
- ' cited as when they came. But a bright
idea suggested itself to some one connect
ed with the Indian business, and Mrs.
Otrn.kv, wife of the Ute Chief, aceompa
nied her - husband to WashingtOi. She
has been transformed by the mantua
makers and milliners of the capital into a
. - fashionable lady, and 'appears equipped
--in a sille ‘. dress, sealskin sacque; bonnet
if-and other accompaniments which usually
adotu a modern belle. It would be ex
pensive to deck all the squaws. in this
manner, but in the end it would be Cheap
, er and more effective than a campaign
against the buck 4. Suppose the depart
ment tries the experiment. The needle
r- is mightier.than the sword.
IN TUE United States Senatb, Wednet - k!
day, tire entire session was given to the
delivering or-eulogies on the life and char
acter of thol- late_ Senator CHANDLER.
Senator VEotv Offered thetustomary res
olutions of respect to the temory of the
deceased, and delivered a long eadogy.
•He was followed by Senators BLAINE;
LoaAN, BAYARD, CAMERON and others in
addresses. The tributes of respect
to the memory of the deceased Senator
by BAYARD and other former .political
Opponents were graceful offerings to as
-honest and brave a man as ever sat in the
- Senate. It - should a ry one that
.1
inflexible integrity , R.nd ragged independ
etre will in the end be appreciated and
acknowledged. Senator CHANDLER was
Quo of a noble band of Senators who gave
their time and energies to what they con)
sidered
,the best interests of the nation.
Time-serving and duplicity, were neither
practiced - U . or countenanced. When treason
raised its horrid front they stood firmly
by the Union, and unceasingly labored to
2 ,. ptit down the .rebellion. When the min
i try was saved , they would have punished
- T. traitors according to their deserts. Seta
' ator CHANDLER was overwhelmed by the
tide of mistaken magnanimity and +Nati- -
mentalism which ruled the country for' - a
short time and relegated him to private
L life ; but the sound, good sense of the
nation resuming its sway his worth and
usefulness were recognized, and,,be was
again elected to the United State!' Senate.
It is a fact which should be remarked,
that the stalwarts in the Senate—WADE,
-lIAMLIN, CHANDLER and CAMERON-41rere
the nien . who were held in the highest
. esteem by their fellow - SeD4t9lll l 1 9 1 0 10 fit
regnid to party.
Tains dollize were never coined as
money and are not s legal tender any
more thin any piece of silver bullion, but
; they haveicomi into general use and pass
freely from hand to hunt' amongst the
people, so Congress might as well legalize
them and retire them as quickly as passi
ble. To be sure, somebody will make a
speculation of them— but then they con
tain more silver than the Bland dollar,
and the government will only lose the
greit profit it is now making by coining
the latter—or would make • if they mild
be botten into circulition.

Mn. SoLox CRASS is the mainstay of
the tireenbackers in the State of Maine.
He traveled through the State with a
yoke of steers, making speeches, and by
his backwoods logic, his hoinely but dry
and quaint similes and his humor, did
much for the ascendency of the inflation
heresy in Maine. The following In regard
to the then political situation is taken
from a letter written by him to the Boston
Herald, and we have never seen it ex
celled. He says : " When I have been in
the swamp , I have brought up against '
stump before I kitew the stump was there,
and no chance to cut the stump, and the
team stuck. The only way out was to
bite; to the hind end of the sled and haul
the sled back. The Supreme Court is the
stump. The nose of the off-runner is
bang up against the Court. The way out
is to hitch 'them steers' to the hind bar,
pull ,the load back and then move on."
The Fusionists have acted upon this sen
sible advice—hitched on behind, pulled
back, and got into the right track.
sr.rtraLiCAN COUNTY CONIFIEN
.. TION. •
The Convention held last Monday
evening, was fully attended. It is
very unusual for every election dis
trict to send delegates to a Conven
tion which meets only for the pur
pose of choosing delegates to a State
Convention. It was significant and
satisfactory that such an interest
should be taken in -the primary
movements showing that the people
are fully awake to the importance of
the result of the Presidential election
this fall, and are prepared to take an
active and vigorous part in the can
vass. The interest manifested is the
more remarkable and gratifying, be
cause it was evident that it was not
due to an excess of partizanship, was
not produced by malevolence, but
proceeded from - a profound and rea
sonable desire to promote harmony
:and achieve success. It was unfort
unate that into the proceedings of a
body composed of such excellent Re
puhlicans, and so anxious to do what
was for the beat interests of the party
there should have been any attempt ,
to introduce foreign and irrelevant
questions to promote private interest
or gratify personal malignity. The
Convention at once put the. seal of
its reprobation upon this disquleting
element, and rebuked its author for
his ill-judged effort to produce con
tention and strife.
Mr. BLAINE has in this county
many friends, whom he has deserved
ly won by his ,eloquence and bold
ness in Congress and by the brilliant
victory he has won in Maine over the
revolutionists who attempted to set
aside the popular will. He is one of
those public men who command
the admiration of such people as
vote the Republican ticket in this
county. His friends, hcre as else
where, are -the most conspicuous
in declaring their preferences, while
those who have a leaning towards
GRANT or SHERMAN or WASHBURN'S,
are less demonstrative, and conse
quently do not give the evidence of
that' public sentiment which really
essista. But it is gratifying to know
there . is no evidence of the existence
of rancor or prejudice which may
, work to the injury of any candidate
that may be selected. If we can
I judge, F the 7 Republicans of this
County have but little choice amongst
all the good men named. Their
anxiety is, that the most available
candidate shall be selected, one who
will receive the united' vote of the
party, and be Certain of an election.
It is gratifying -to us that the
counsels we have given, and the
course we have urged upon the Con
vention have been implicitlytfollow
ed. Having nothing but the welfare
of the party at heart, we were anx
ious that the action of the Conven- .
tion shbuld be governed by 'discre
tion and wisdom. The delegates
selected are good men and true—they
go uninstructed, to do what is best
.for the interests of the party and the
country, and we have no doubt that
their action will meet the approtal
of our people. .

The Convention being organized
and ready for•the transaction of has-
lam, Mr. JtreiCta Houma called
for the reading of the call of the
Chairman of the National Commit-
tee, which was read by the Secretary.
Mr. lloLcomn. then offered the fol
lowing resolutions, And moved their
adoption : • - 1 -
. . .
Revoked, That We, the Republicans of
Brstatord county, in Convention assem
bled, hereby declare that Hon. James G.
Blaine is our first choice for nomination
for President by the National Convention,
to be held at Chicago,• on the 21st of•
June next, and the delegates to the State
Convention to be held at Harrisburg, on
Wednesday, February 4th, MO hereby in
structed to so vote as to give force to
such sentiment, and against a unit rul4.
Resolved, That on the part of Bradford
county, we recommend -the appointment
of 0. D. Kinney, Esq., as one of the
delegates to represent the Fifteenth Con
gressional District in the National Conven
tion, at Chic 'go, 21st June .next, and he
is hereby instructed to vote for the nomi
nation of Hon. James G. Blaine, as our
first choice for President.
Resolved, That our delegates to Harris
burg. are hereby Instructed to vote for
the nomination of Hon. .1. A. M. Pais
more, or Pottsville, Schuylkill county, for
Auditor General.
J. W. Isonem moved to amend by
substituting the following :
Wminxas, More than four months will
elapse between the appointment of the
Pennsylvania delegation, and the assemb
ling of the Republican National Conven
tion at Chicago ; and whereas, great
changes may take place in the political
situation in the meantime, which cannot
now be foreseen or provided fur, therefore:
Resolved, Aa the sense of this fonven
tion, that the delegates from this State to
the National Republican Convention
should go to . Chicago unfettered by in
structions, not bound to vote as aunt for
any candidate, being left entirely free to
act as their CODECteIX:I3II dictate, as their
constituents expect them to act, and as
the beat interests of the party require. '
Resolved, That . Geo. F. Horton, of
Bradford county, be recommended to the
State Convention as a suitable, person to
represent this Congressional District in
the National Convention at Chicago, in
June next., and that the Hon. F. C. Bun
nell be his alternate.
Mr. CARNOCIIAN thought the reso
lutions were out of o rder at the Tires
ent time, and moved that their con
sideration be postponed until after
the election of
t Mr. HoLcomu opposed the post
ponement, and addressed the Con
vention urging the adoption of the
resolutions, claiming that under the
call for a National Convention the
Convention should select delegates
to the Nitional Convention. He
claimed that the sentiment of the
Republicans of the Convention was
largely for BLAINE, and that the
Convention should so declare.
The vote having. been taken, the
Chair decided the motion to post
pone adopted, when Mr. Hotcomn
called for the yeas and nays. The
roll being called resulted in 77 yeas
to 26 nays, and the consideration of
the resolutions was postponed;
Mr. W. J. YouNo offered a resole
Lion that C. E. GLADDINO, PETER J.
DEAN and ALEXANDER C. ELSBREE
• be Representative, and KILEON PACK
ARD Senatorial, delegates to the Har
risburg Convention.
Mr. HILLis moved' , to amend by
adding the name of JUDSON HOLCOMB
as a Representative delegate. After
some discussion it was agreed that
the Convention receive the names of
persons for delegates, and that the
three persons having the highest
number of rotes be the Representa
tive delegates.
The names of C. E. GLADDINO,
PETER. J. DEAN, ALEX. C. ELSDREE,
JUDsON HOLCOMB RIMI HENRY J. MA

tion, and a ballot 11.88 bad with the

Whereupon, Messrs. s GLADDINO,

[ln justice to filen. MADILL, we
make -the statement :that his name
was , presented to the Convention
without his knowledge or consent.]
Mr. HoLcomn again offered his
resolutions and moved their adoption.
Mr. INGHAM renewed his substitute.
Mr. LANDON moved further to amend
by striking out all of Mi. IxotLot's
substitute except the first resolution.
Mr. CARNOONAN addressed the
Convention, urgingopon its members
the necessity for harmonious action
in view of the importance of the
test in which we are soon to engage
and the magnitude of the interests
involved. He 4uestioned the pro.
priety of instructing delegates, thus
tying their hands and preventing
them from doing what might be for
the best interests of the party. That
no one could tell what changes
might take' place before the meeting
of the Chicago Convention, and that
as the delegates elected were trust
worthy men, it was better to confide
in their wisdom and integrity. Ie
cioSed by moving to postpoae in
definitely the consideration of the
resolutions.
Mr. Houxekra vehemently opicwied
the postponement 4 and spoke in . favor
of the adoption of the Iresolutiiihs he
had offered. He denouileed the prop
oiition to postpone add permit the
delegates to 'go unliStructed as a
scheme dictated ' by the "central
power" which usually controlled the
Conventions of the State, and which
had sent their instructions to this
county. He called upon the friends
of nimiffa vole like pep and
meet the impe l and not be cheated u
they were in 1876. - In the course of
tide remark' Me. Mamas made aev,
erat pommud allusions to W. T. DA
VI= (who was the delegate to the
National Convention in 1876), charg
ing him with personal duplicity and
with a violation of his instructions,
and a betrayal of the Republicans of
the district.
Mr. W. J. YOI3NO said that as a
personal,' attack had been made upon
Mr. DAVIES he would ask leave of
the Convention to substitute Mr.
which was granted, and Mr. Darn,
rising to a question of privilege, made
a statement as to• his action in the 1
National Convention. He said that
he bad borne in silent contempt the
'false and malicious attacksmade by
Mr. Hoz.come through the columns
of his paper as to big course in that
Convention, and he was now glad '
to i
meet, him before the Republicans of
Bradford and show in a few brief
words how be had been misrepresent
ed. That the Convention of this
county which elected delegates to the
State Convention unanimously in
structed those delegates to do every
thing to promote the nomination of
Gen. JOHN F...HARTRANTT as the Can
didate of the party for President;
that the State Convention which se
lected him as a delegate to the Na
tional Convention instructed him
' with the other delegates for HART-
mixer, and direeted the vote of the
I State to be cast as a unit. He obeyed
those instructions, as bound in honor
Ito do, although his personal prefer
ences were for BLAINE; and the del- 1
egation from' Pennsylvania in the
r end would have been unanimous for
BLAINE, but for the ill-advised course
of indiscreet and over-zealous friends,
who attempted to make discord in
the delegation by a disregard of the '
positive instructions of the Pennsyl!
vania Convention. In the National
Convention he had done nothing but
to obey the plain instructions of the
body that elected him. He was
proud to say that four months after
that Convention the Republicans of
Bradford gave him an unanimous
nomination for State Senator and
ratified it at the polls, which was a
sufficient answer to the assertion
that he had misrepresented or be
trayed his constituents at Cincinnati.
Mr. HOLCOMB, in answer, said that
the " rine " were trying to make this
a, personal attack 'upon him by ap
pealing to the personal prejudices of
delegates. He again appealed to'the
friends of BLAINE not to permit, the
delegates to go uninstructed.. '
Mr. Latinos' addressed the Con
vention. He commenced by
eulo
gizing the course of President HAYES.
He claimed that the hand of Provi
dence was often seen in the conduct
of public affairsoind that while in
1876 he with many'others mourned
over the defeat of BLAINE, he was
now satisfied it was all for the best.
Many Republicans had found fault
with the President since his inaugu
ration; but now every one was will
ing to admit that his policy has
proved a blessing, inasmuch as it
had clearly defined his position to
every voter and brought the issues
of the day into bold relief. The olive
branch had been tendered the South.
Had they met the offer in a proper
spirit, there then would have been
peace and unity throughout the land.
But they did not meet the fraternal
and patriotic policy of the President
in a corresponding manner ; were
ungrateful when he would be mag
nanimous and conciliatory, until they
had airsed , public , sentiment at the
North,rand plainly shown what was
every freeman's duty. While he him
self was Strongly for the nomination
of BLAINE, yet he did not think. it
was policy to instruct the delegates.
The great State of New York was
an important factor in deciding the
Presidential election. Should it be
come manifest that any other man
would be more certain of success in '
that State; it would be prudent to
choose that man as our standard
bearer. Important events might oc
cur before the meeting of the G i hicago
Convention, and be believed that if
the voice of JAMES G. BLAINE could
be heard it would be to advise against
the instruction of delegates. Mr.
Lennox eloquently advised harmony,
and rebuked Mr. HoLcome for bring
ing into the Convention his personal
allusions,-- 0 dragging in his little
scorpions by the tail." The speaker
was unusually eloquent and happy
in his remarks, and the Convention '
listened with evident interest and
enjoyment.
Mr. Horscoms again urged the
adoption of his resolutions, but the
Convention by a nearly unanimous
vote, decided to indefinitely postpone
the whole matter.
Mr. LANDON then moved as an ex
pression of the views o pf the Conven
tion that its first choice, all other
things being equal, was .1 1 .4wrzs G.
BLAINE as the' R4publican candidate
for . Presiderit.
The Chairman put the motion,
which was voted for - by a part of the
delegates, was declared adopted, and
the Conventicin adjourned in the very
best of humor. ; ,
91 voted.

PHILADELPHIA LETTER.:
-Councilman Bill, McMullin, the Demo-
cratic rough who rides the Fourth Want,
not only has a charmed life as regards re
volvers and knives, but seems to have im

he invaded the Convention, and the dis

from Watibitigton, based upon the inter
pretation by Commissioner Raum, of a
law of Congress, which r e ads : "That
every person, firm or association, other
than National Bank Associatioris, and ev
ery corporation, State Bank or State
banking associations shall pay a tax of
ten per centuns on the amount of their
own notes used for eirculation' and paid
out by them." This is alleged by the- of
ficial to apply to the scrip issued by the
road in payment of ita indebtedness to its
employes, and the amount of taxes due
is stated to.be $168,000. Eleven of the
engines attached, being actively employed,
were allowed by the Commissioner to be
continued in use by the Company, cast of
Second street. The matter of the seizure
will of course, be contested by the Read

their due bills are currency and they can
not be - subject to the tax demanded.
The ice crop in this section of the State
promises to be a total failure, as pp to
this time there has been none secured,
and it is too late in the mason to indulge in
hopes of any forming. The Delaware ri

tiou consequently without any impedi
ment. Eastern ice, however, can be
brmight to our wharves and sold at as
low a price as - the domestic article, so
therels not likely to be any inconveni
ence arising, except to the ice-dealers
who rely upon cutting a supply from wa
ters near the city.
At the regular meeting of Post 2, G. A.
R., on Thursday evening, Corporal Frank
E. Brownell, the-avenger of Colonel Ells
worth, when be was shot by the proprie
tor of the Marshall Rouse, at Alexandria,
Virginia, May 24, 1861, presented to the
Post an interesting relic in the shape of a
piece of the rebel flag which Ellsworth
lowered from the flag-staff, and which
act caused his death.
There was a decided sensation in the
