mmmu 6ZD Henry A. Parsons, Jr. . . Editor THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1874. Republican State Convention. The Republicans of Pennsjlvania'will hold a State Convention at llarrisbur?, at noon on Wednesday, August 19. 1874, for the purposo of nominating candidates for Lieutenant Governor, Auditor General, Secretary of Internal Affairs, and Judge of the Supreme Uourt. The representation of the several counties in this Convention will bo based on the apportionment of Senators and Representatives made by the present Legislature, each Senatorial and Rep resentative district being entitled to delegates equal in cumber to its repre sentation in the Legislature under said apportionment. RUSSELL ERRITT, Chairman. Ezra Lukens, ) John M'CuLtouoH, bc0s- The following ticket was nominated by the Republican County Convention of Erie County on Monday of last week: For Congress, subject to conferee con vention, Hon C B Curtis; Assembly, W W Brown of Corry; Henry Butter field, of Erie; Dr S F Chapin of Watts bur; Dr 0 Logan of Albion; Treasurer C II Waldbrige, of Erie; County Com missioner, Clark Bliss of North East; Poor Director Michael Henry of Erie; Auditor Wm E Kcyes; Trustees of Erie Academy S E Woodruff, J W Swalley, N Murphy of Erie. When Col. Curtis shall have been elected to Congress and served through the ensuing term, be will have the some what anomalous position of having been elected from and represented four diff erent districts in CoDgrcss. Thus, in 1850 he was elected from Erie, Warren, McKean, Potter, Clarion, Elk, and Jefferson, to the 32d CoDgress, under President Filmore. In 1852, under a new apportionment, he wa3 elected from the counties of Warren, McKcan, JeCer son, Clearfield, Elk, Clarion, and Ven ango, to the 83d Congress, under Presi dent Pierce. In 1872, from the coun ties of Erie. Warren, McKean, Cam eron, Jefferson, Clearfield, Forest, and Elk, to the 43d Congress, under Presi dent Grant. In 1874, from Erie War ren, and Venango, to the 44th CoDgrcss. .Many of our citizens may yet go to Con gress, but it would requiro about 38 years for any of them to represent four districts. In this Col. Curtis will be for a while without a peer. Erie Ga metic. Mr. Congressman Dawes.oI Massa chusetts, now serving his ninth term, has declined a rcnoniication. If all re ports are to be believed, this fact may have an important bearing upon national politics. It is well known that from the time Henry Wilson was first spoken of as a candidate tor Vice President, Mr. Dawes has been laboring earnestly to se cure Wilson's scat in tie Senate. lie has thus far made a double failure. Having regarded with indifference the movement to make Butler Governor of Massachusetts, Butler paid the debt in kind and made Boutwell Senator. That act taught Dawes a lesson, and ho im mediacy thereafter "tied to" Butler. The death of Charles Sumner created another vacancy, iut this time Dawes failed lecavse he was backed by Ben. Butler. Governor Washburn was cho sen as a compromise candidate. Wash burn's term expires MarcL 4th next. He serves just long enough to show Massachusetts how valueless he is an a national legislator in comparison with Dawes who believes that just so long as he is content to serve in the House the State will be content for him to remain there, but rather than lose his service altogether he is satisfied that be will be promoted to the Seuato by the Legisla ture at its next session. This game of Dawes presents a still more important feature. It is by Dawes' retiring from scrvioo in the House that the President hopes to array high-tariff Pennsylvania against speaker islaine lor the 1 real dency. Judge Kelley, better known as "Pig Iron Kelley," now stands next to Dawes, on the Ways and Means com mittee of the House. Not to advance Kelley to the chairmanship, the event of Dawes's retirement from the House, would be a slight upon Pennsylvania that the Keystone State would resent, so observed the President; by sending to the national nominating convention a delegation solid against Blaino. The other horn of the dilemma the President regards aa still more damaging to Blaine, for wore he to promote Kelley, with his notions of high tariff, to the head ot the Ways and Means Commit tee, every Western and Southern State would be offended. By the working out of this problem the President hopes at the least, to carry Pennsylvania s 33 na tional delegates from Blaine over to his own candidate for tho succession, Ehhu li. Washburn, of Illinois. Tho re-organization of tho Congressional commit tees takes place in December, 1875, a tew months previous to the assembling ot tho Convention to nominate a 1 resi dent. The game being played is for great stakes, and the people wfll watch H with interest. Er.e Ouzctte. Flue ashes from the hot blast of an thracite furnaces, have been found very destructive to potato bugs. A large piano factory in Hudson. Mass., was burned on Saturday, causing great loss to the proprietors and throw ing out ot employment one huudred workmen.

For some years past twenty cleiks in the Quartermas ter's office have been assigned to exam ining and passing upon Quartermaster's claims for forago and property taken from Union mec during the war in the States of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri. A clause in the Legislative, Executive and Judicial appropriation bill passed last session not only legislates these clerks out of office, but fails to make appropriation for this class ol claims. Consequently several thousand claims pending in the War Department are ruled out, and a special act of Con gress will be required to make provision lor their payment. The lact was dis covered yesterday. Syracuse, N. Y., June 21.

A tiromlnent New York chroloian lately complained to Dundas Dick, about his San dalwood Oil Capsulas, stating that some times they cured miraoulouBly bnt that a patient of his had taken them for sometim wi th out effect.

What happened to this physician may have happened to others, and DUNDAS DICK & CO., take this method of protecting "Oil of Sandalwood" from this disrepute. PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the Capsulas will CONTINUE TO KO SO, for they contain the PURE OIL in the BEST AND CHEAPEST form. OIL OF HANDLE WOOD is fact super seding every other remedy, sixty Cepsules ONLY being required lo insure a safe and certain cure in six. or eight days. From no other medicine can this result be had.
