The Outlook In Florida.
A colored Republican from Florida,
who Is well posted In political matters
lu that State, writes to the National
Jtepublican:
I noticed a piece in your paper of
Friday morning about a solid south
that is to say, including North and
South Carolina and Florida. Let me
say as a citizen of Florida that I do
know that it is as certain to cast Its
electoral vote for James A. Garfield
as the sun is to shine. The black man
in Florida cannot and will not let
the State go for Hancock, You may
think the Democrats will count Gar
field out, but we always stay with the
ballot-box until the last vote is can
vassed. All we ask in Florida is that
the northern states will stand by
Garfield, and as Hayes got Florida iti
1876, so will Garfield carry it by a
handsome majority, not less than 1,000
I-leave Washington on Monday for my
home to help defeat Hancock. If he
is loking for a solid south he may as
well give Florida up and set It down
for Garfield.
Andrew J. Eaton, Monticello.Fla.
Washington, July 18, 180.
Besides the speecli which Secre
tary Schurz will make in Indianapolis
on his way to the far West, he
will make-several others on his return,.
The Secretary says that he lias per
sonal regard for Hancock, hut that
Garfield is a better man and repre
sents a better cause.
The Democratic press is already
put on the defensive of Hancock.
In the South it keeps them busy to
prove that he only fought for the
Uniou because all his Interests were
in the North, and he could not help
it. While in the North the effort is
made to show him the greatest Un
ion soldier that drew his sword against
treason.
The Buffalo Courier, Democratic,
says that "during his trip around the
world Gen. Grant spent $25,000 a year."
How does this agree with the Demo
cratic statements, made during the
General's travels, that he was galli
vanting over the world at the expense
of the United States Government?
There's a Democratic He somewhere.
The Hon. L. C. Houk, Republican
member of Congress from Tennessee
said on Monday that the Republi
cans expected to carry Tennessee
the coming fall, and would elect Haw
kius, the Republican candidate for
Governor, by a decided majority,
together with the Republican
Presidential electors. He declared
that the Republicans of the State were
more determined and more united
than they had been for ten years.
Congressman Willits of Michigan
gives a highly favorable report of that
State. He says that Michigan wanted
Mr. Blaine to be nominated, but is
satisfied with the result. The utmost
harmony prevailed. Little lias been
done yet, but the State Convention
will be held soon, and then about the
middle of August the campaign will
open in earnest, Michigan will give
Garfield and and Arthur as large a
majority as ever she gave anyone.
That Hancock should be beaten
there is no doubt, and why he should
not and cannot be elected the Albany
Evening Journal gives four solid
reasons, as follows :
I. He will be beaten because of his
recognized unfitness for the position.
II. He will be beaten for the same
reason that Tray came to grief he is
caught in bad company.
III. Hancock will be beaten be
cause his opponent is infinitely better
fitted for the Presidency.
IV. Hancock will be beaten because
his opponent, In addition to being
Letter fitted for the place, represents
the grand old Republican party.
A Washington special to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat says : "In con
nection with stories circulated by
Democratic papers that General Grant
lias spoken favorably of General Han
cock as a Presidential candidate, a
gentleman to-night recalled a conver
sation with him when in New Orleans
in April last. A New Orleans Demo
cratic paper at this time announced
itself for Hancock. General Grant
referring to the matter, said : 'I don't
think Hancock could be elected. He
is a good corps commander ; he is no
politiclan, and I don't think he is
much of a Democrat. I don't think
a second-class soldier can inspire suf-
ficient enthusiasm to elect him as a
military hero. The history of militury
candidates shows only the com man-
tler-ih-chief in the conflict has ever
been successful. I remember in 1804, at
tus Democratic convention, one-vote
Win ea:t for Hancock. I think this
wu9 thefirst time he knew he was a
Cincinnati Commercial has a
lonjr cnU Francisco dispatch under
rf-ie of the 12th, which says: "If
there ever had been a question as to
what California would do at the com
ing election, no such question now
exists. California, in common with
the whole Pacific coast, will roll up a
sweeping Republican majority in
November. Upon that sister Repub
lican States and doubtful Republican
States of the east may securely build
and draw comfort and strength from
the assurance.''
Albany Journal: "The Demo
cratic papers Contain a thrilling ac
count of General Hancock's nnrrow
escape from a Confederate sharp
shooter who fired fifteen shots at him
without effect. Of course, the sharp
shooter will vote for Hanco:k now.
But how about the Union soldier that
the sharpshooter suceeded in killing?
What had they done that they should
not be alive now to vote for either
Garfield or Hancock, as they saw fit.
The Democrats will have to look
to the solid South from another
quarter. A Birmingham, Ala., des
patch is to the following effect: "Gen
eral Weaver's march to the sea is one
grand ovation. People are forsaking
the old parties and fljckitig to his
standard in numbers. The eli'eet of his
speeches are wonderful. The meetings
at Courtlaud, Hartzell ami this place
to-day produced astonishing results.
Alabama is on fire for the Greenback
party, and indications point to mi
overwhelming majority.
New York Tribune: "We read
in the Democratic newspapers the pre
diction that 'between this time and
November next thousands of con
servative Republicans who voted for
Hayes and to whose views for a short
time in 1870 and in 1877 Mr. Hayes
deferred in his policy, will bo found
swelling the Hancock procession.'
The word 'procession' seems we'l
chosen. No doubt thousands of Re
publicans will swell it. And we pre
sume the Democratic party, after hav
ing caused the poor man's death, wiil
push itself forward and take the
mourners' carriage.
Cincinnati Commercial: "General
Hancock goes to see Tilden; the Nat
ional Democratic Committee goes to
see Tilden. Barnum, Chairman of
the National Committee, was Tilden's
manager In the canvass of 1870. If
a leading Ohio or Kentucky Democrat
makes a pilgrimage East he goes to
see Tilden the first thing. The boys
miss the old man, both his advice and
money, and ore anxious to conciliate
him. They would probably forgive
him if he did not open his mouth,,
provided lie opened his 'bar'l' "
-Walkins Express: No charge of offi
cial delinquency was ever brought
against Gen. Arthur.He was superceded
because he was unwilling to forego his
"inalinenable right" to take a hand in
advancing the principles and electing
the candidates of his party. Civil ser
vice is a good thing In theory, but it
dosen't work so well in practice. The
rank and file of a party don't relish
the idea that those who get the best
pay should do the least work. It isn't
necessary that they should ostenta
tiously "boss" the boys, but it is neces
sary, in order to kt-ep up the equili
brium that they shojld occasioualy do
some of the lifting. It was not because
he was unfaithful to any ollicial trust
that Gen. Arthur was superceded.
The National -Republican says :
The condition of the negro in t he
south is simply this: He lias a poll
tax of $2 to 3, and consequently they
will not be allowed to vote unless they
pay It. The shot-gun will not be used
this year; it will be "Not paid your
poll-tax yet and you can't vote here."
It is the same principle involved,
namely: The negro shall not have
his vote. The rights of the negro, as
prescribed in the fifteenth amendment
to the constitution, are spurned and
ignored, and iu the south they are to
day In a worse condition than in the
days of slavery, and who Is to blame
for it ? The answer Is short and plain,
viz. : The party who seeks to place
Wlnfleld S. Hancock in the executive
chair, and party is the rebel Democra
cy. Shall this thing always be so ?
If Col. Forney takes occasion to
refer back to 1808 and read the articles
that appeared in his J'resa at that time
with reference to General Hancock, he
will probably be struck dumb with
amazement at the change that lias
come "o'er the spirit of his dream.'
Before the meeting of the Democratic
National Convention twelve years ago,
the nomination of General Hancock
was very earnestly advocated by a
portion the Northern Democratic
press. "Hancock and Adams" was
their cry, the belief prevailing that
with a "hurrah" ticket of that de
scription, the great soldier, Grant
might possibly be beaten. Comment
ing on the proposition of setting up
"Hancock and Adams," Col. Forney
delivered himself as follows: "Han-
"cock and Adams! If all that the
"Democrats want is names, Hancock
"and Adams will do very well, but
"they can do still better. Iu the
"national Patent office they can find
"an old uniform of Washington let
"them nominate it for President.''
Thus niereilesly did Col. Forney rid-
icule the idea of running Gen. Han
cock for President in lfsWi. Now lie
demands his election on the ground
that he was the savior of Pcnnsylva-
nla and Philadelphia at the battle of
Gettysburg, and is therefore entitled
to the everlasting gratitude of all
Pennsylvania. General Hancock has
done nothing since 1808 to entitle him
to the Presidency mor now then
then, yet while Col. Forney treated
with the utmost contempt the proposi
of his nomination in lHfiS. lie
nw urges that Hancock is the man
above all others entitled to this mark
The Result of ft Drunk.
Brndford 8l(ir.
As an evidence of what evils may
follow in the train of a simple drunk,
so often treated lightly by the un
thinking, we append the following
resume of the fatalities attending Jno.
Clancy's "little jamboree" last win
ter: Last Feburary conductor W. W.
Gaithcr, of the Clarion Narrow Gauge
Railroad, ejected a peddler by the
name of John Clancy from his train,
near King's Mills, Clarion county, for
refusing to pay his fare. Clancy shot
the conductor with a pistol. Gaither
died a few days later from the wound.
W. L. Fox, of Foxburg, President of
the road, was a warm personal friend
of tho murdered conductor. He took
charge of the pistol with which he
was killed; and became activo in
bringing Clancy to punishment. Last
April Clancy was placed on trial at
Clarion. President Fox was to pro
duce the pistol in court. He left home
cn the early train to goto Clarion.
The train had proceeded some distance
from Foxburg when Mr. Fox discov
ered that he had forgotten the pistol.
He had the train stopped and ran
back to the village to get the weapon.
When he returned to the train he was
almost exhausted- The conductor
subsequently found him unconscious
in his seat. He could not be revived,
and died on the car at almost the ex
act spot where his friend Gaither was
shot. Clancy was convicted of mur
der in the second degree and sentenced
to eight years In the penitentiary.
His wife and 12-year-old son were left
destitute. The boy went to work for a
farmer near St. Petersburg Recently
he was crossing a field where a vicious
bull was feeding. The bull attacked
him ripped his side open with his
horns and tossed him from the field
Into the road, a distance of forty feet.
The boy lived a short time only. Be
sides these fatalities resulting from
Claucy's crime, the business of Fox
burg will be almost ruined. The vil:
lage depends on the oil business of the
Fox estate. W. L. Fox, although
only twenty-nine years old was the
manager of this estate, which com
prises 3,000 acres of oil land, which,
only partially developed, yields 12,000
barrels a month. He owned the only
extensive individual pipe line in the
oil regions and at the time of his
death was erecting an immense re
finery He had a capital of 3,000,000,
and was just completing plans for the
construction of other lines of rail
ways, with I'oxburg as their center
The pine line has been sold to the
lited Pipe Line Company, which
destroys its local value. No further
development of the Fox property will
lie made. The death of W. L. Fox
takes the distribution of $1,000,000 a
year, at least, from this region.
Boston Journal : "There may be
nothing in the rumor that General
Butler will in due time, come out for
General Hancock but it would not
surprise those who know Butler to
read such a declaration in the papers
any clay. Ueneral Jjutler must be in
politics, and he will doubtless go where
he can get the most for his services. If
he can secure the Democratic nomina
tion for Governor he would doubtless
support General Hancock, though he
can never love the man whom he
undertook to legislate out of a Major
General's commission."
The Washington correspondent
oj the New York rimes says: "A few
days ago despatches were sent from
this city to Democratic papers an
nouncing that the Mexican Veterans'
Association at a regular meeting had
gone over to the Democratic ticket by
a series of resolutions, to wljch were
signed the names of J. W. Denver,
President, and A. M. Kcneday, Sec
retary. S. N. Hoyt, a member of the
Vssoeiation, declares that no such
meeting was held, and that General
Denver was in Ohio at the time when
it was said to have been held. He
asserts that the Association is not a
political one, and t hat the Secretary had
10 right to sell out members to Han
cock by a report of an imaginary
meeting."
Judge Porter, Republican candi
date for Governor of Indiana, in an
interview on Tuesday said that while
he could not thus early speak advis
edly as to the election in Indiana, he
nevertheless was happy to say that
from all the information at his com
mand, he regarded the outlook as
most encouraging, und had little doubt
as to the result in October. There
were two or three elements of strength
the Republicans held this year that
they had not had for several years.
The Indiana Republicans were united
whereas for several years there has
been discordant elements. The Ger
mans now fully appreciate the fact
that by and through theetlorts of the
Republican party the currency of the
country had been placed on a solid
basis, and they looked upon the Dem
ocracy with suspicion, they having
less than a year ago advocated inflation
legislation.

Note paper and envelopes at the
Division of the State.
PROPOSED PLAN TO MAKE TWO STATES
OUT OF PENNSYLVANIA THE SUS
QUEHANNA TO BE THE DIVIDING
LINE.
It is quietly mooted that there is a
scheme on foot to divide the ,State of
Pennsylvania. Just who is at the
bottom of this movement Is not stated
and the story Is given for what It Is
worth. The division plot, however,
Is said to have the support of a num
ber of leading politicians throughout
the commonwealth. The proposed
two states are to be called respectively
Pennsylvania and Western Pennsyl
vania. The plan of division, it is
further stated, has been prepared with
great care, the following counties to
form that part of the state that will
retain the name it now bears : Berks,
Bradford, Bucks, Carbon, Chester,
Columbia, Dauphin, Delaware, Lan
caster, Lackawanna, Lebanon, Le
high, Luzerne, Lycoming, Monroe,
Montgomery, Montour, Northampton,
Northumberland, Philadelphia, Pike,
Schuylkill, Sullivan, Susquehanna,
Tioga, Wayne and Wyoming.
.Under the census now being taken
the population of these twenty-seven
counties is estimated to be 2,800,000,
leaving an estimated population of
2,303,000 for the remaining forty
counties that are to form the new
state. The parties that have this
scheme in hand have madcau estimate
of the political complexion of both
commonwealths. They have taken
the election for President in 1870 for
the basis, and ten of the counties
named give a total Republican ma
jority of 27,472, leaving a net Repub
lican majority of 12,853. This leaves
a Republican majority of 5,122 for the
new state.
It is also believed that this legisla
ture of both commonwealths will be
Republican. As it now stands, accord
ing to the figures shown, the 27
counties forming the old state under
the proposed division have 20 Repub
lican and 9 Democratic state senators,
and 07 Republican to 46 Democratic
members of the house, or 32 Republi
can majority, giving the new state 13
Republican and 9 Democratic senators
and 48 Republican and 40 Democratic
assemblymen, or a Republican major
ity of 12 on joint ballot for United
States senator. The plan of division
looks well as drawn on paper; the
Susquehanna river forms a natural
boundary between tho two proposed
states from the Maryland line to Ly
coming county, and from that point to
tho New York state line the bound
aries between Lycoming and Tioga
on one side, end Potter and Clinton
on the other, will be the line that is to
separate the two states.
The constitution piovides that "no
new state shall be formed or erected
within tile jurisdiction of any oilier
state without the consent of the legis
lature as well as of congress," and it is
said there will be no difficulty in hav
ing the legislature pass a bill forming
two states, nor of the sanction of con
gress.
For two or three days past the
Democratic organs have been jubilant
over the report that General Pearsons,
of Pittsburgh, had gone over to their
side and declared his determination to
support Hancock. So much has been
said concerning him that the Evening
Chronicle, of that city, has been in
duced to speak out as follows: "En
tirely to much has been said concern
ing General Pearson's determination
to vote the Democratic ticket this full.
So much has been said that no
more needs to be said, lest un erron
eous impression should lie created
abroad by the announcement that
General Pearsons has concluded to
vote for his former comrade In arms,
General Hancock, Here, where the
general is well known, it is not neces
sary to refer to this matter. The fact
having been telegraphed abroad, it is
necessary to state that General Pear
sons does not represent the Republi
cans more, nor probably as much, as
thousands of men who boast no title,
and who are not likely to emerge
from obscurity, and whose names are
never heard of, or likely to be men
tioned. Indeed, we question whether
after casting his own vote, General
Pearsons will be able to influence an
other Republican to imitate him. It
is said 'every man has his influence,'
but unfortunately for General Pear
son, 'circumstances over which lie
had no control' impaired his influence
in Allegheny county to such a degree
that lie stands to-day absolutely with
out any following whatever."
Since Colonel Forney has taken
such a decided stand for General Han
cock, his sayings of the past are being
hunted up and republished. In 1808
Colonel Forney made a careful study
of Hancock and said: "Hancock, a
Johnson general, assumes command In
the Fifth military district Louis
iana and forthwith down go the col
ors of the nation. A loyal meeting
in Texas is assaulted by a mob of de
fiant traitors and dispersed by vio
lence. The leaders of this mob, when
arrested by some honest officers, who
forgot the new 'policy' which now
reigns at New Orleans, are released by
Hancock, for that is virtually what
his order amounted to. set at large by
a brigadier general of the Uuited
States army, a man uniformed in blue.
Alus, for the loal meu of Texas, with
Sherman a thousund miles away !"
And now, since this same general has
taken command of Lee's old troops
and is preparing to march on Wash
ingtou, Colonel Forney throws up his
cap for hlmand declares that he is de
lighted to be able to supjiort him. Af
ter stultifying himself in that
way it is not likely thut his voice and
pen will exercise much Influence dur
ing the, campaign. There is still
some love for confi'tertcv left lu the
Fatal Accident.
Brookvllle Republican.)
On Monday morning, the 6th Inst.,
a number of young men were engaged
at firing a salute from what has been
known as Liteh's Battery, on the high
ground near the residence of Hon.
Thomas Lltch. The guns consist of
cast ings made for the purpose, and
have been in use for about twenty-five
years. On the morning named the
firing had proceeded as usual until
all but the last shot had been put off,
and for some reason Mr. Al. Shobert.
who had acted as gunner all the
morning, refused to apply the match
to this shot, Mr. Aarad A. Pearsall
volunteering to do it in his stead, and
as the fire was communicated to the
powder a terrible explosion took place
the heavy metal of the gun, over three
inches in thickness, breaking into
fragments and flying in all directions.
One of the flying missies struck Mr.
Pearsall on the hip and leg, a severe
flesh wound being inflicted on the
former while the latter was broken
and mashed from the knee upwards.
He was at once taken to the residence
of Mr. Lltch and surgical assistance
summoned, Drs. Sweeny and Buhner
reaching him a few minutes after the
occurrence, and everything that it
was possible to do was done to relieve
his Buffering. After dressing his
wounds he was removed to his home,
where he lived but a short time, dying
in a little over two hours after the ac
cident. Several of his companions
received slight wounds, but all were
able to bear a hand in taking care o!
the injured man.
On Wednesday morning the re
mains were followed to the cemetery
by a large concourse of people, the
Hook and Ladder Company, of which
the deceased was a charter member,
and also Brookvllle Lodge, I. O. O F.,
turning out and assisting at the fu
neral. Mr. Pearsall was In the thirty-seventh
year of his nge, was a man who
stood high in the estimation of all
who knew him, having served his
country in the war of the rebellion
with credit to himself and the service.
His death caused a great sorrow
among our people generally, and was
the cause of the postponing of the cel
ebration to take place that day, and o:
which the salute was the prelude.
He leaves a wife anil four little c-liil
dren to mourn for him who was taken
away from them so suddenly and un
expectedly. They have the sympathy
of our people in their great trouble.
Cineinati Gazdle: "A letter to the
editor from one of the foremost Re
publicans of the State of New York,
who was a Grant man and Is a Gar
field man, and, besides, is very near to
Senator Conkling. says: 'It is my can
did opinion that we shall carry New
York tor the Republican Presidental
ticket. If you give us a good sen d-ofi
in Ohio In October you may safely
rely upon New York to follow your
lead.' This letter was not written for
publication, and being for the private
information of the editor, it will be
regarded ull the more valuable as an
opinion. It Is from n gentleman, too,
who Is as well posted as any living
person in regard to the politics of the
State of New York. That Ohio send
off to which the writer refers will not
be wanting."
A Washington despatch to the

BEST PLOW IN THE WORLD!
THI 8YKACU8E CHILLED PLOW CO.
of 8yraouse, N. Y.
Are now putting on the market a Plow that
Is as much superior to any plow heretofore
made as the Flows of the past few rears hare
toeen superior to those made hall a Century
ago.
It combines all the excellencies of any Plow
In use.
It obviates all the objections made to any
ether Plow.
In addition It embraces several new features
Of the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
IU Beam,tievls, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which we hare also
obtained an exclusive Patent. It will bo
called
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
bur present styles.
A nrst-closs Steel Plow, made In tho or
dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price of our new now will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and it will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of ths
very best kinds of the ordinary stool mold
boards.
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will be introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which is
also a great improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shitted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and it can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side of it as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of uae because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam is the necessity of the day. It
Is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When we say a Mold board is chilled, the
farmers know it is so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
of various metats and call it chilled metaL
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town In this state.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we wUl pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near tho cost of manufacture
as possible.
It will be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
WThls is the only Steel Chilled Plow in
the World.
steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
