If the second resolution of the pro
ceedingx of the meeting of the Ilcpubli
can County Committee, rnblished above.
does not express, it implies the right of
tbe ( ountj ( orumittee to change tbe
manner or system under which the pri
mary election is held. The Committee
has no right t change the system. It
has the right to offer suggestions. The
resolution is not material further than
this, that by allowing it to pass unchal
lenged, hereafter it may be quoted as a
precedent, to influence a Committee to
attempt changes in the system.
Tli a following is the system under
which the Primary Election will be con
ducted : "
Fir.'t. The candidates fur the several
offices shall have their names announced
in one or more of the county papers at
least four weeks previous to the primary
meetings staling the office, and subject
to the action of the said primary meet
ing. SctvnJ. The voters responding to Re
ivllican p-inriple in each town, ward,
or borough shall niett on Saturday, Sep
tember 2, 1S71, at the usual place of
holding tbe sjiriug election, at '1 o'clock
P. !., and proceed to elect one person
for Judge and two persons for clerks,
who shall ftum a board to receive votes
and determine who are proper persons to
vole, and shall hold the polls open until
7 P. M. After the polls are opened the
candidates announced as aforesaid shall
be balloted for ; the name of each per
son voting shall be written on a list
at the time of voting, no person being
allowed to vote more than once for each
office.
Third. After the polls are closed the
board shall proceed to count the votes that
each candidate received, and make out
the returns accordingly, to be certified
to by the Judge and attested by the
clerks.
Fowth. The judge (or one of the
clerks appoiuted by the judge) of the
respective election district, shall meet at
tbe Court house, in llifflintown, Mon
day following the primary meetings, at
1 o'clock P. M., having the returns and
iit of the voter, and count the votes,
and the person having the highest num
ber of votes for auy office shall be de
clared the regular nominee of the Repub
lican party.
Fifth. Any two or more persons hav
ing an equal number of votes for the same
office, the judges shall proceed to ballot
for its choice, the persons having the
highest unmber to be the nominee.
Sixth. The return judges shall be com
petent to reject, by a majority, the re
turns from any election district, where
there is evidence of fraud, cither in the
returns, or otherwise, to the extent of the
fratuit committed.
Seventh. No person shall be permitted
to vote proxies.
The following was suggested by the
County Committee on the lSih of June,
1S70, and Las since been followed :
"Itesolvcd, That on the day of hold
ing the primary election, after the choice
of a judge and clerk, pro tcm , by the
Republicans present, an election shall be
held forjudge aud clerk, which shall re
main open for thirty minutes, after which
the ballots shall be counted, and tbe
parties having the highest number of
votes shall be declared respectively the
judge and clerk, aud after tbe election is
held, the same to receive tbe votes for
candidates, certify the same to the Coun
ty Convention ; and the judge so elected
shall exercise the same powers as pre
scribed by the Crawford County System "
$500 reward has been offered by the

Land Grants.
There have been mtny articles wrillen
and many speeches made, for and against
government land grants. She North
American, delivers itself as follows on
the subject. So far as onr observation
has extended th& political conventions
have declared against all further land
grants, and this sentiment seems to be
reflected by all the leading journals of
the Republic. This looks like bcking
the stable door after the horse is stolen.
For if there is any land remaining tbat
is not covered by existing land grants,
it must be in an inaccessible region.
Of the vast wilderness of the far west
the Northern Pacific, Texas Pacific, At
lantic and Pacific, Union Pacific, Pacific
Kansas Pacific Dcuver and Rio Grand.
Missouri. Kansas and Texas, and other
railroads of great length, have already
secured so much of these political decla
rations are rather amusing, when we re
member that the men who chiefly con
cocted them are the very-men who have
been concerned in the land grants, or
have voted for them, or have advocated
or endorsed them.
That the policy has been injurious to
the Republic we deny. It was begun
nnder President Pierce, and was so suc
cessful in Ulinoise that its exteusion was
nrged by him in one of his annual mes
sages Looking at the results aecotr
plished in Hliuoise, Iowa, Missouri by
the system, it requites a considerable
amount of cheek to pronounce it a fraud
and an outrage. That the northwest is
a marvel of progress is wholly owing to
the land grants The government had
no money to bestow, ana me puouc
lands, being given away free to actual
settlets, brought no cash into the Trea
sury. But iu making grants to the nn
built railroads it gave what these compa
nies could make a basis for the issue of
bonds to raise monev to bnild their lines
The process was a good one on both
sides. It settled the country more rapid
ly than the homestead act had done, be
cause it stimulated railroad building and
rendered acceseable to purchasers the
the land along the routes. It gave re
sources to the companies, avenues to
maikets to the settlers aud cheaper trans
portation for the mails, Iudian goods,
troops and munitions of war.
It is to ti e interest of a' railroad to
populate its route as soon as possible and
tbrcfore when a lino is built upon a land
grant it at once commerces to stimulate
emigration. But as its grant only covers
the alternate sections the others eome in
for a share of attention, and thus the
government can sell land for which other
wise there would be no market- It can
not be detiied that this process affords
great opportunities for mm in command
of large means to make fortunes. But
they risk much and their gains are no
more than enterprise and business shrewd
ness are fairly entitled to. In the case
of the Union Pacific the government, in
its anxiety to secure the construction of
the line, gave its endorsement to the
bonds and a land grant besides. 'But it
has not yet appeared that the land grant
was the sonrce of corruption. It was
the money subsidy that worked a'l the
mischief.
When the government etopped the
money subsidy the Kansas Pacific came
to a halt in the open prarie, and so re
mained for a time. But after a while
the company raised the means and fin
ished the line through to Denver, and it
has proved quite a success. This was
done on the basis of the land grant, and
without that grant it could not have been
done at all. The same may be said of
the Denver and Rio Grande, now push
ing on rapidly to the Mexican frontier,
and of all the railroads in Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas that are now cf so much
uee in bifugrag. Mfttlo Wm Toaaa to tho
northern markets. Without land grants
no railroads were possible in California,
Oregon, Washington, Nebraska. Corora
io or Minnesota. And hence this pro
nunciamcnto against land grants means
literally that our progress in that respect
must cease. One immediate effect of it
would be to make absolute monopolies
of all tbe lines that have land grants.
Their lands would immediately increase
in value and their credit improve, so they
could market their bonds advantageously
It will be seen, then, that every one in
terested in existing grants would natur
ally oppose new ones, and the resolution
has a concealed meaning that does not at
first appear.
Turning for the moment from the rail
road part of the case, let us see what
other objects come nnder the ban nf land
grants and are ignored. These are com
mon schools in some of the States, agri
cultural colleges in all the States, univer
sities in the new States, .and works for
the drainage of swamps. When a tract
of public land is so swampy as to be of
no nse for cultivation, the national gov
ernment grants it to the State in which
it lies on condition that it shall be drain
ed and improved. In fact, there is not a
single object to which the American land
grant policy has been devoted that is not
in itself praiseworthy and deserving of
encouragement. As a consequence of
this policy the new States have all been
very flourishing and prosperous, and
their financial condition favorable. The
popular antipathy to land grants arises
from the belief that they ennre chiefly
to the benefit of a few individuals, and
tbat they are the means of building np
huge land monopolies. We have shown
above one good reason why the railroad
companies would not favor monopolies,
and we may add that the same would
apply to all expecting to derive Targe
revenues from land grants. Neverthe
less great estates really do exist at the
west. ' Yet, that is true. But consider-'
ing the price at which land is openly
sold in these new districts, from SI 50 to
$5 per acre, it is apparent that any one
with 150,000 at command could purchase
a few thousand acres and put them under
cnltivation, stock them with live stock,
and still have something left for machin
ery and buildings. The fact is that in
making land so excessively cheap to the
poor settler we enable the monopolist to
do what under other circumstances would
be ioiposihle. The policy has one good
effect : it carries forward on the front
wave of emigration men of capital and
enterprise, whose influence npon the
rongh pioneers is of some value in refus
ing a higher civilization and setting an
example of improved agriculture. On
the hold, therefore, the situation is not a
bad one, however it may seem so.
Terrible Steamboat Accident.
Fredericksburg, Va., August 8
The steamer Wawasset, running on the
Potomac river between Washington and
Cnrriornan, took fire about 12 o'clock
to-day at Cbatterdon landing, and was
destroyed. She had about 150 passen
gers on board, and between 40 and 50
lives were lost. Six bodies were found
np to 2 o'clock, three white ladies, one
child and two colored childred. Miss
Virginia Marbnry, of Glynmost ; Miss
Bessie Saunders and a child from Cur-
riotain, are among the dead. Others
have not been recognized-. George W.
Uook, ot Warsaw, Va, is missing.
Capt. Wood did not leave the boat until
forced to do so by the flames. The fire
was first discovered in the engine room.
Washington. August 8. The repor
ter of the Associated Press at midnight
bad an interview with "Doc'' Kennev,
the barkeeper of the Wawasset, the only
one of the passengers or crew of that
vessel who reached Washington to-night
He came to this city on tbe steamer Ex
press, with an excursion party from Pin-
ey Point, the latter vessel having sighted
the wreck about four o'clock this after
noon, and picked np Kenny, who had
been sent out in a small boat to come up
to Washington, the passengers and crew
of the Wawasset being at that time car
ed for at Stewart's wharf, near the scene
of the disaster.
Kenny states that the Wawasset left
there at six o'clock this morning, on her
regular weekly trip to Cone river, with
117 registered passengers and a large
cargo of freight for the river landings.
J ust before reaching Cbatterdon landing
on the Virginia side of tbe Potomac,
about five miles below Aquia creek, and
after -the whistle of tbe boat had been
blown as a signal of her approach to
that landing the steamer at that time
being about a third of a mile from the
shore fire was discovered in the hold,
aud the hose was attached immediately,
but before the men could reach it the
conflagration became general, as tbe fire
had been burning for some time.
The fire had been smouldering, it is
supposed, for some hours, and upon
opening the hatches it burst forth with
great fury, driving the men from the
hold and completely baffling all attempts
to subdue it. In less than an instant the
wildest confusion prevailed on the ves
sel, the passengers becoming panic strick-1
en and frantic with fear, very few having
presence of mind sufficient to take care
of themselves.
Tbe steamer was without a second's
delay headed for shore on the Virginia
side, aud iu a few minutes' ran aground
about two hundred yards from the shore
At this time the flames had spread with
fearful rapidity, and in the excitement
many jumped overboard, several of them
jumping into tbe water oelore tbe steam
er struck the bottom She was provided
with but two 'small . His:-, and in the
rnj oi the moment one of these boats
was thrown overboard and lust by the
passengers, who, uncontrolled, were en
deavoring to lunch her. Captain Wood,
of the ill fated steamer, aud his assis
tants, are said to have used every effort
to control the passengers but without
avail, and but for the disobedience of
orders many who were lost would have
been saved. The vessel was well pro
vided with life preservers, but in tbe
panic it seems that none of the passen
gers secured them, and this fact also
added to the lamentable loss of life
Over forty passengers were drowned.
among whom were Mrs. Reed aud three
children, the wife and children of police
man Reed of this city, and his niece,
whose name has not yet been ascertained ;
Adelina Jenkins, a chambermaid, and a
deckhand, name nuknown ; Mrs. Vir
ginia Marbury, of Glymont ; Miss Ber
tie Sanders and a child, of Currioman,
Virginia.
Up to the time that the express in
which the narrator of this statement left
the scene of the wreck, but five or six
bodies bad been recovered, and the. con
fusion was so great that a further list of
names of those lost could not be obtain
ed. Among the saved was a Mrs. Wise,
of this city, and J. Wilkin Massev.
Kenney states that Capt. Wood was the
last man to leave the eteamcr, and the
pilot, Mr. Boswell, was surrounded by
tbe flames before he left the pilot box,
which was not until he had to rnn the
steamer aground.
The flames spread with such rapidity
that the till ropes were on fire before the
vessel struck gronnd. All of those lost,
it is supposed, were drowned, having
juniped everboard to escape tbe flames
The fire was first discovered about
twenty minutes before 11 o'clock, and
Kenney states than in less than ten min
utes the vessel was enveloped in flames,
and now lies where she was rnn aground,
burned to the water's edge. Chatterdon
Point is just opposite to Maryland Point.
. The survivors of the disaster have
been made as comfortable as possible at
Stewart's and near that place where they
will remain until about 9 o'clock Satur
day morning, at which time the steamer
Georgiana will take them on board, ex
pecting to reach this city about 9 o'clock!
. Abont one-half of the passengers on
the Wawasset were women and children,
many of whom were en route to country
places along the Potomac to spend
short time pleasuring with their friends.
There were qu'te a number of colored
people among the passengers.
The Wawasset is a mail side wheel
steamer of about S0 tons, and is engag
ed in runuing between Washington and
the landings along the Potomac. She
was insured - for $28,000. WV'hen she
left here this morning it was .supposed
she was in perfect order, and the origin
of the fire is at present unknown
The crew of the Wawasset consisted
of Captain Wood, a clerk, two engineers
two firemen, barkeeper, four deck hands
and a chambermaid.
Washington, August 9, 1 15 A. M
As soon as the particulars of the dis
aster became known to-night a great
crowd collected about the wharves, and
the steamer Express was boarded by
hundreds, anxious to learn the fate of
friends on the ill-fated steamer, but as
the registering list was destroyed, no
positive particulars as to nanus could be
gained.
It is impossible to obtain-a correct list
before the arrival of the survivors on
the Georgiana, which is expected at eight
o'clock.
The Wawasset drew only four feet of
water, and a few weeks ago was thor
oughly overhauled and repaired. She
was regarded as an excellent river boat,
and her boilers and machinery were in
first class order. She was owned by the
Potomac Ferry Company, and has been
plying on tbe Potomac river as an ex
enrsion, passenger and freight steamer
for tho past fiveorsix years.

Doctor Lob, who speaks English
fluently, was swvrn to translate a large
number of documents which were found
in the rooms of the society He trans
lated several. When be came to one
which was a record kept of the sale of
women to keepers of brothels, and pun
ishments inflicted npon them, he refused
to go any further.
The court admonished him, bnt still
he refused to proceed. Tbe conrt then
threatened to tend him to jail, bnt he
would not obey, and finally he was
given till Monday to consider the matter.

for the story that a minister recently
married a couple in that town, and after
the ceremony the bridegroom generously
banded the clergyman eighty-five cents.
The recipient of this handsome sum
could say nothing from the fact that he
had nothing to say alter such a remark
able display of liberality, aud he bowed
them to the door. He had hardly time
to return to the room and place the enor
mous fee in his pocket book, when "there
came a tapping, as of some one gently
rapping" at the door. Thither he went
to find the groomsman, who had returned
and begged the minister for the loan of
seventy-five cents I He explained that
they (bridegroom and himself) wete
little short to-day'," but would be paid off
on the morrow, when the married man
intended to call and "pay five- dollars for
splicin' 'em." ' That they needed just
seventy-five cents to get "somethiu' par
ticular" for the married couple, and
nopea ne couia accommodate mem. I be
minister, good-hearted as he is, could not
withstand snch an appeal as that ; he
couldu't see two fellow-mortals deprived
of 'somethiu' particular" (costing only
seventy-five cents), that would make
them still happier 1 No, no and he
forked over fifteen seventeenths of the
marriage fee instanter. To make a long
story short, the bridegroom has not call
ed to this day with the promised five
dollars, nor has the money so kindly
loaned been returned. All that the cler
gyman ever expects to get for perform
ing tbat marriage ceremony is ten cents,
and he thinks he was very lucky in get
ting that mnch out of tbe bridegroom
who was so ' short."

this direction is commendable, and al
