The Republicans of Pennsylvania,

Communism and the Restoration to
Power in the National Government of
the Influences which produced the Re
bell ion of 1801, are requested to send

sentation in the Legislature, to a Con-
vention to meet at Harrisburg, at 12

Philadelphia, June 9, 1879.
The summer excursions which
the patriotic Democratic Senators
voted themselves will cost the Gov'
eminent from $00,000 to $75,000, aC'
cording to the smallest estimates.
The people of the United States
pay $700,000,000 a year for spirituous
and fermented liquors, $95,500,000 for
education Ond $48,000,000 for religion.
And yet we delight to brag that this
is a Christian land.
Mrs. Sarah A. Horsey, of Missis,
sippi, has just died, leaving her prop'
erty to JefF Davis, and reproving her
countrymen for their failure to recog'
nize his service and sacrifices. The
legacy puts Davis in comfortable cir
cumstanees.
A Bridegroom at Grinnel, Iowa
received a cigar by mail, accompanied
by the written assurance that it would
be found of an uncommonly good
flavor. The bride recognized the
handwriting as that of a rejected
suitor, and unrolled the cigar, to find
several grains of strychnine in the
end that a smoker would bite off.
Marvin Banning, before dying at
Hadlyme, Conn., told where $3,000
could be found hidden in a bag of but
ternuts, and that bonds to an equal
amount were buried in a cellar. He
was seventy-four, and for many years
had deprived himself of sufficient food
and tire. His sole diet was raw salt
pork and coarse bread, and he lived
by himself. His property goes to a
needy sister.
The commission selected to choose
a monument for the grave of Gov
ernor Geary in the Harrisburg Cem
etry, decided to award the contract to
George Starkey, of Serauton, who
agreed to furnish a granite base six
feet in width and a bronze statue
the late Governor for $5,000. His de
sign as before the commission contem
plated a monument composed entirely
of granite. The monument will be
twelve and a half feet high.
State elections will be held this
year iu the following order: Kentucky,
August 4, State officers and Legisla
ture; California, September 3' State
and judicial officers, four Congressmen
and Legislature ; Maine, September 8,
State officers and Legislature; Ohio
and Iowa, October 7, State officers in
part and Legislature. Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi,
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Wisconsin, November 3.
Governors are elected iu all the States
named except Mississippi, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
A Buffalo dispatch says : David
D. V. Altaian, aged 18, a son of Abra
ham Altman, president of the Third
National Bank, a member of the Buf
falo polo club, while starting in a prac
tice game Saturday, was thrown from
his horse, fracturing his skull, and
since the accident has lain unconscious.
No hopes of his recovery are enter
tained. Altman was riding a horse
that from its light build had been con
demned, but he insisted on using it,
althought weighing over 100 pounds.
He had only become an active mem
ber of the club this year, and was
locked upon as a skillful poloist. He
was preparing to enter college. A
later dispatch says the young man died
Sunday uight.
The failures of farmers are becom
ing alarmingly frequent in England.
In 1870 they numbered 229; iu 1875,
354; in 1876, 480; in 1877, 477; in 1878,
815; audiu the first half of 1879, no
fewer than 614. In addition, tiue facts
are well known that farmers in many
counties are now losing their capital,
that landlords find great difficulty in
reletting at any price, and that the re
mission of rents have only met por
tion of the difficulty. If the land of
Eugland becomes less and less able to
compete with that of other countries
iu the growth of meat and cereal crops,
the alteration in the conditions will
have an effect not only on the persons
immediately concerned, but on Eng
land as a whole.
The negroes in Jacksonville, Fla.,
are drawing the color line among
themselves, and the Union of that city
remarks : "Several colored men have
complained to us about the formation
of a society in this city whose member
ship is to be composed of mulattoes ex
clusively. No black men need apply.
They also charge that the black chil
dren are ostracized and often refused
admittance into society by mulatto
children under instructions from their
parents. The Rev. Mr. Thomas last
Sunday night made mention of the
matter as the starting point for evil
and a division among the colored race
of this city. About five years ago the
same subject agitated the colored pec-
pie here, and at times they would
meet, quarrel and fight over it iu the
public streets."
What Time Hath Wrought.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The death of Alanson Work at Hart
ford, Connecticut, on the 6th inst.,
the advanced age of eighty-nine
yeaw, recalls an meiuent in nis me
which Illustrates the mighty change
that has beeu wrought in public opln-
on upon certain moral and political
questions, within the last half century.
Mr. Work when a young man cmi-
granted from Connecticut to Illinois,
and in 1835 located at the Mission In
stitute on the cast bank of the Missis
sippi, not far from Quincy, at that time
an insignificant village. Slavery was
an established institution on the other
side of the river, and stories of cruelly
frequently reached the cars of the anti
slavery people at the Mission Institute.
Mr. Wofk and two theological btudents
formed a plan for crossing- the river
and bringing away a slave family
whose condition had touched their
sympathies. By some means or other
the Missouri authorities were apprised
of the contemplated "raid" and when
the three philanthropists crossed the
river they were seized by a band of
armed men, and, after suffering great
indignities from the mob, they were
committed for trial. In due time they
were convicted of conspiring together
to abduct slaves, and were sentenced
to a term of twelve years' inprison meut
in the Missouri State Penitentiary at
Jefl'erson City. A mob of ruffians at
tended the trial for the purpose of
hanging the prisoners in the event
of their acquittal.
When the three "abolitionists" ar-
rived at Jefferson City a great mob fol
owed thein to the prison and hurled
all manner of opprobrious epithets
after them as they disappeared behind
the gates. Mr. Work, being a consci-
entious observer of the Sabbath, re-
fused to shave himself on the first
Sunday of his imprisonment, and for
this breach of discipline the one side of
his head was shaved and a ball and
chain fastened to his ankle. On the
following Sunday he still held out, and
was severely lashed on the bare back
No further attempt was made to conv
pel him to act contrary to his consci
entious convictions, and the prison
authorities amended the rules so as
to make Saturday shaving-day. There
are not many men who would be will
inir to be scouraarnd rather than shave
on Sunday, but the early abolitionists
had the spirit of the martyrs. After
serving three years six months of his
term of imprisonment Mr. Work was
pardoned on the condition that he re
turn to Connecticut. The two theo
logical students were subsequent par
doned, Mr. Burr after he had served
four years and six months of his term
and Mr. Thompson after he had
served four years and eleven months.
At the time these three conscien
tious, pious and highly reputable
gentlemen were sent to the Pen
itentiary their punishment was
justified by public sentiment not only
in Missouri, but in Illinois and other
free States. Governor Marmaduke,
who, although a representative of the
slaveholding oligarchy, was not des
titute of humanity, paid a visit to Mr.
Work in his prison and told him that
he would pardon him, but public sen
timent would not sustain him in such
an act of clemency. Nevertheless, the
Executive conscience was not entirely
easy on the subject, and, as above
started, the three philanthropic "con
spirators" were pardoned by Governor
Mormanduke's successor in office. Mr.
Work returned to Connecticut and
spent the remainder of his long life in
his native State. His eldest son,
Henry C. Work, is a song-writer of
considerable .note. He is the author
of a number of popular ballads, includ
ing the famous battle-song of the
colored troops, "Babylon is fallin'."
Mr. Work lived to see his motive in
crossing the Mississippi to rescue a
slave- family from bondage fully vin
dicated in the judgement of the whole
civilized world.
Death of Got. Allen, or Ohio.
Cincinnati, July 11 Ex-Governor
Wm. Allen died suddenly at his home
near Chillicothe this morniug. Gov.
Allen was born in Virginia and was
in the neighborhood of seventy-five
years old. His public services have
been of avariedand valuable character
having besides serving in the Legisla
ture of his adopted State, served a full
term in the United States Senate some
thirty years ago. In 1873 he was nom
inated and elected Governor of Ohio,
and again in 1875 was renominated
and after a gallant and vigorous fight
was defeated by Mr. R. B. Hayes by
a small plurality of between five and
six thousand. His name was pre
ssnted to the Democratic convention
at St. Louis in 1878 as the choice of
Ohio for President, aud though the
vote of the State was cast for him, no
great effort was made by himself or
friends to secure the prize. On the
expiration of his term as Governor on
the 1st of January, 1876, he retired to
the privacy of his comfortable home
in Chillicothe, where he has since re
mained, enjoying the comforts by
which he was surrounded and the
highest esteem of his fellow citizens
throughout the State and nation.
Charles Wolf, a resident of the
village of Glen Hope, was killed at
James Patterson's barn raising on
Friday, June 27th. He was about 66
years of uge. His head was crushed
by the falling of a "bent," and he died
within two hours without uttering a
word. He seems to have had a pre
sentment of his fate. After agreeing
tc-'go to the rising of the barn, he
tried for several days to get a substi
tute, but failed. Wheu inquired of
why be did not want to go himself, he
always replied that he was afraid
something serious would happen, and
that he had better not go. Clearfield

Sketch of John A. Ninull.
(From the Harrisburg Patriot)
John Augustus Smull was born
September 1, 1832, and consequently at
the time of his death was nearly forty
seven years of age and in the prime
of life. He was the second of the three
sons of John Smull and Harriet Paull
who were of German ancestry. The
father at the time of his death was
proprietor of the Washington house,
which stood on the site now occupied
by the Jones house and was so called
because General Washington had
spent a night under its roof. John A.
Smull whose death is now chronicled
received a public school education and
in his fourteenth year was apprenticed
to the printer's trade in the office of
the Harrisburg Telegraph, having de
clined the appointment of midshipman
in the navy at the desire of his parents.
At the age of seventeen he succeeded
to the position of page in the House of
Representatives made vacant by the
death of his brother Levan, and be
came the sole support of his mother
The appointment was made by the
clerk of the house W. D. Jack, of
Westmorelaud county. From this
position he rose by the faithful and ef
ficient performance of his duties to be
bill clerk, bill and petition clerk, and
at length created for himself the posi
tion of resident clerk, an office which
has now become a necessity to Penn
sylvania legislatures. This position
he filled with marked ability and suc
cess until his death, -save during the
session of 1875-6 when Major Elbridge
McConkey occupied the desk. Not
the lease considerable work of Mr
Smull's life was the yearly compilation
of "Smull s Legislative Hand book,'' a
remarkably clear, condensed, yet full
manual of all that pertains to parli
mentary law and the business of the
state legislature.
Mr. Smull was for many yeara prom
inently indentined with the Masonic
fraternity of the state and held a num
ber of positions of trust and responsi
bility. He was also one of the found
ers of Robert Burns lodge No. 4G4.
Owing to his long connection with
the legislature there is no man in the
State better known or more highly re
spected for warm courtesy of de
meanor and genuine ability in the so
lution of intricate parliamentary diffi
culties than John A. Smull. and it is to
be doubted if there has been a speaker
of the house within the last twenty
years who does not owe to him much
of any success attained as presiding
officer. As a generous brother and
devoted son Mr. Smull has had few
equals. To his friends he will always
tne Kina, courteous, willing friend, a
friend whom everyone sought and
everyone valued. As a citizens he will
be missed iu many ways. No man was
more ready than he to give his time,
energy and mens to the furtherance of
any philanthropic scheme or any plan
for the improvement of the city. The
tears which will be shed when the
last duties are paid to him and he is
laid to rest In dreamless sleep forever
beside his mother, whom he loved so
well and cared for so faithfully, will
not fall from the eyes of his relatives
alone, but will come from a wide
circle of our citizens, who have felt his
benefactions, known his heart and
loved his fellowship.
The coining Republican State Con
vention lias an important duty to per
form. The Democracy are consider
ing the advisability of adopting the
"Ohio idea," and if it will increase
their ehunces of carrying the State
they will not hesitate to call not only
Greenbackers but all other disorgan
ganizing elements to their aid. The
Republican party is responsible for
the Greenback and since it became
necessary for the Government to issue
a promise to pay, the party has worked
faithfully to bring it to par in gold
1 his has happily been accomplished,
and is now the duty of the party to
present an unbroken front in defense
of the financial policy of the Govern
ment and allow no "steps backward to
be taken" in the Important matter,
To this end the Republicans of each
election district should meet together
and instruct their committeemen to
vote for no man for delegate to the
State Convention who is not known
to be a firm advocate of honest money,
competent officials, and no stealings,

Fatal Accident.
Wm. S. Lininger, in the employ of
Geo. i. Smith, residing up the Port-
tage, near the Potter county line,
started out Sunday evening, 6th inst.,
to watch a deer lick, taking his gun
with him. The next morning, Lin
inger not returning, Mr. Smith started
to look for him, and after searching an
hour, found him dead. Coroner Heil
man was notified, and proceeded to
hold an Inquest," when the following
facts were brought to light :
The deceased was iu the act of climb
ing a tree, for the purpose of watch
ing for deer, and drawing his gun up
after him, when the gun (loaded with
buckshot) was accidentiy discharged
and the contents passed through his
left thigh, midway betveen the knee
and hip, making a hole about the size
of a musket ball; thence through the
outer edge of his left forearm, six in
ches from his waist, and one or two
shot passiug into the edge of the nose
through the buck of the eye and into
the brain, which must have caused in
strant death. The body was found tin
derneath the tree. The deceased was
a young man, aged about twenty-three
years, and unmarried. Cameron Prest.
