TIM total sum that will . be expended
on GCITEACS trial will probably be over
_a quarter of a million. It
_is said in
Washington that there is a strong itrobri
bility thatthe jury will disagree. Some
of the members appear to have given
hints thir justify such an opinion.
IT is understood that the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency has de- ,
termined to see what-can be done to pre
vent such frauds as those which w-re
recently discovered at Newark and Bos
ton. It is to be hoped that the Committee,
may be able to devise a successful plan.
• OVER half a million immigrants arrived
at the port of New York this year, and
the prospect is that fully that number will
pass to the Statcs and Territtories of the
country during next year. About nine
hundred thousand immigrants were addNi
_ to the population of the country this year.
Tnn census re oats shovi that there are
nearly a million more males than females
in the country. This does not speak well
for-the tact of womankind. She is said
to flirt; by instinct and marry for a pur. ,

lack of interest in man, against a pros
pective million old maids? - -
SCPERINTENPENT• S(OWDEN, of the
- Philadelphia ?dint, has recommended to
Congress a new plan for the coinage of
n-minor pieces, by which the alloy will be
seventy-five per cent copper and twenty
five per ceut nickle—the five cent pieces
to weigh five grammes, the .three cent
pieces three grammes, and the cent one
and a half grammes, with uniformity of
4eisign.
THE erection of another monument to
the memory of President Garfield ha'
been projected, this time by the Society
of the Army of the Cumberland. This
idea has been developed with a delibera
tion which promises; well for its realization
and we expect that the Army of the Cum
berland will have its monument in place
before the citizens of Cleveland have theirs
well under way.

of thp last Congress; and of the Demo

ducted, by keeping their proceedings in

nying them a htaring. No majority in
Congress ever adopted similar high-hand
.ed measures, and no party can afford to
do what the Democratic party did in this
connection.. When the Republicans .of

THE State Temperance Convention,
which will meet in this . city , i on the 19th

'dot is known as the Prohibitionists, a
combination of mistaken men who : de
light to run tickets at elections, in
which lthey have not the ghost; of a chance
of success, brit only embarrass the ;sole
party Which has ever been of any. se: vice
to the tiYmpemece cause. The conven
tion to assemble here next month will be
composed of women as well as Men, who
have devoted themselves for years to
moral suasion in the effort to win men to
'obriety. The convection will take a de
parture from the old style Prohibitionists
-and seek for an amendment to the Con
stitution, whereby-the manufitcture and
sale of intoxicating liquor will be priki
bited. Such a movement will naturally
awake bitter opposition from the liquor
men of the State, and combine iu its
favor all the elements of the-temperance
cause ;..but. until the body which is
to deal with the subject meets and ' lays
down its plan of action discussion of it is
not in order.
A FEW FACTS FOR REFEIRESCE.
The people will do well to take
into account a few evident faett4,
among which are—that'it i, hard, to
`please a man detprrnined nut :tobe
pleased, and; that a • man' seeking a
"R9uarrel need never . go tar to find it.
eference to these facts may he use
ful to'all who may - now or hereafter
be interests in the rditieal . situation
in Pennsylvania.: There is • a ,very
"decided disposition to force the fight
and if possible to forestall the action
•
of the people. But singular as it r may
seem' this disposition . is not displayed
by the managers who are denounced
by the leaders of ale Molt of •l 81.
The parties appear to.have changed
places, and the tactics so loudly con
demned last I'l4ll are _already being
employed by the men who condemn
ed them. •
It is probably a fair statement to
say that the Republicans of Pennsyl
fania'are not yet prepared to enter
upon the campaign of 1882. • They
are' not•yet ready to select candidates.
Of thenupber of men named in (!on
neetiOn with_to'highest office to be
filled the people have not decided
upon any, and were they to be left
to their own deviceslt is quite possi
tte-that they might select some per
son nit yet tamed. It will be noted
however, that the fastidious gentle
men who propose to:- nominate a full
ticket in a few days do not propose
to leave to the people anything what
ever to do except to take the nomi
nations as their own. This is simply
doing in the name of reform exactly
What is complained of in the "bosses."
The charge is that the "bosses" meet
, and set up a ticket withotit reference
to the wishes _'of the masses of the
party. :Well, that:is the Very ,thing
these." heralds of. reform " propose
to do in a few days, • •
- The man who is conscious of the
rectitude of his own motives rrever
condescends to resort td the tsel,ics
which he condemns as vicious in
others. The essence of " boisism,"
as.we understand it is, that it fixes
upon Certain things to — btddne with
out consulting the people, and then
attempts to force the pedple tb do
those certain things. Action of this
kind, if wrong and to be condemned
in one is - equally wrong and repre
hensible in others. Only the insin
cere and unscrupulous see- any
difference. There is no diffeifnce.
There may, of course, be a Choice
among men as respects whom they
will allow= to set up tickets to be-vot
ed for; but if that - is the argument
what becomes of all this loud talk
about "vindicating" a principle?
It would be altogether better for men
who favor such reform to say at once
that they desire to vindicate their
choke : of "bosses."
There is time enough for the masses
of the Repuclican party to study
these phates of political warfare.•
They will flud It profitable. -May
will than be required tollay
the men to - rbe voted. for shall be tak•
en np without consultation with .
or whether they propose to
organize a convention bi the right
way and nominate men of their own
selection. It is for the people- to
determine for themselves. If they
permit a few men in Philadelphia, or
a few men in any other corner of the
State, to set .up a ticket they 13/1131,
forever after hold their peace. ,
DESERTED COMMENDATION,
Seldom, if ever, has a set-of gen
tlemen, elected to fill places of res.
poniibility and trust, retired there-
from at the end of their terms, pos-
sec-sing to a, greater degree Iher‘con
fidenee and good will of a people,
than have the gentlemen wbo.retired
from the cakes ' of; th:s county on
11:oliday Last. Eaeh. one has proven.
during- his term of office, his fitness
for the position whibh he has
and the wisdom , of- the - people in
placing - him therein. As servants
of the public they haie,at all times
been careful in the - transaction of the
business appertaining to' the several
offices—courteous and obliging to
all who have had. business in the of
fices to transact.l While Bradford
County has ever been fortunate in
the selection ofipersons to fill her
public offices, we hazard nothing
in saying that'never, in her ' whole
history asra county, have .those pa
sitlons been , more ably and more sat
isfactorify filled than during the past
three years. And we - still hazard
nothing in further saying, that, had
there not been a Constitutional bar
to a second term in twq ' of the offices
and :a positive declination on the
part of some of the officers to wept
a se-election, every one of them
would have been re-nominated al -%
most, withoutopposition,and re-elect
ed by larger majorities than had been
giVen - in years. Speaking of the gen
tlemen individually, our spicy little
cotemporary, the Daily Review, said
Flo truthfully—and so nearly what we
should write—of them, were we to
speak of them separately, in its issue
of Saturday last, that we transfer
the article to our columns entire :
"SHERIFF DEAN, , though quite
piominent and very popular in the
west was but little known outside of
that section, when he came here three
years ago, but he now returns to his
home in outh Creek, not only 'one
of the most widely -known gentlemen
in the county; but the most popular
man who has' ever filled the sheriff's
office. He
_has so discharged the
onorous and responsible duties of
the office as riot to unnecessarily op
press or annoy the unfortunate debt
or, while acting with strict fidelity to
plaintiffs. "A little brief authority,"
did not "puff him up," and he re
mains the same affable, :unassuming.
courteous gentleman he was. born";
His friends are not confined to tb
Republican party, though he is aS
true as-steal to his principles. While;
Mr. DEAN, like - a sensible gentleman,,'
as he is, retires to his farm aaaft!, we_
shall be greatly mistaken if his fellow
citizens do not soon call him into
public life."
"Prothonotary BLACKMAN is his
own successor, and the choice could
not hav o c been bettered. It is a note=
worthy fact that Bradford County
bas been particularly fortunate in .
thO Selection of - prothonotaries,
never having had a poor one. But
Mr. BLACKMAN is the peer of any of
'his -predecessors as an officer, while
he excels in those traits which make
a man justly popular with his fellows.
His heart is large and beats in sym
pathy with his less fortunate brethern
who - are always received with the
same cordiality as those epon whom
Toitune smiles. The duties of the
office have,been properly, faithfully
and pleasantly performed, leaving
no ground for fauittfinding on the
part of any one having business to
transact, there." -
"A. C. FRISBIE, Register. and Re
c Order, gives place to Hon. .J.
WEBB, the unwritten law of tbe'Re
publican party having decreed that
re-nominations for this office must
not be made. He goes out of office
with the confidence and best wishes
of all who have made his !acquain
tance. Himseltand son, Mr. CLAY
TON FRISBIE, have done the work of
the office during his term and the
records have never been more neatly
kept, nor the dutieS of the office dis
charged more satisfactory than. dur
ing his administration."
"The : constitution bars the County .
Treasurer from serving, two consecu
tive terms, and Mr. Jontv H. GRANT
retires after three - years ireumbency,
during which a larger amount of
money has been received and paid
out than in any other similiar period
since the organiz-ttion of the county,
and we may truthfully say the inter
ests of the taxpayers - have never
been more carefully guarded nor the
finances: more prudently managed.
It became necessary to make a loan
to raise money to erect the poor
house and it was largely due to Mr.
GRANT'S efforts that the bonds were
negotiated at a Very low rate of in
terest, in the face of str'ng tempta
tion to allow friends to take
them fits higher rate In this trans
action the county saved more than
his, salary. He superintended the
payments for the work on the potv,
house in person and aided the Com
missioners very greatly in the prose
cution of the work. He deserves
great credit for the practice inter-
est displayed in the securing to the
County a house for the poor which
will grow in favor as its
the
becomes better known to the public:
Among those whom coming genera
tions will thank for this noble insti
-1 tution Mr. GRANT, will stand prom
inent and his name as an upright,
prudent and faithful custodian of
the county funds will long remain to
•
do honor to his.memory."
"The County Commissioners,
Messrs. BRADFORD, HLR.t•T and R.slv
-8031 have served during a period of
unusual interest to the taxpayers,
large sums of money having been ex
pended and mach extraordinary
work required. ' That the board
faithfully discharged its work is evi
dent in the re-election i of two of them
—the other, Mr. HURST, declining
the honor of n re-nomination. They

disadvantage ti) • contend with, it is
evidelit that Mr. Jadwin does not in

upon him. In the maintenance of, his
pnsition as a legislator, - he has already j
given evidence of ample ability; and
'in the discharge of the various duties'
incumbent upon him as a Represen

through its represeutives an honora

councils of the !nation. 'ln the choice
of Mr. Jadwin there is every reason
to believe that there has heen no
error in judgment arid no mistake
committed, and that :the prestigeof
the old District will be as filly main
tained in the future as it has been in,
the past. Courteous, attentive;: and
quick to net, we feel entirely justified
in making, the prediction- that Mr.,
J-Adwin will not only fill,- the . - "bill,"
that . his course of action will not
only Meet - the general approbation of
his..constituency, but-that he 'will be
pronounced by them as. being the
