BOROUGH AND TOWNSHIP HISC
TIONS.
Again, we remind our readers in the
boroughs and country townships, as well
as in the_larger cities, of the duty of pro-`
viding for the election, in October, of all
the officers whom they have heretofore
chosen in the Spring. By the present
law, the Spring elections are abrogated
altogether, and all the elected officers of
the people, frcim Governor down to con
stable, are to be chosen at the October
polls. Consequently, the usual business
of the spring must be attended to
now. It,ls time that the nominations
were made, and for every local office, ex
cept the Assessors who hold over until
the election of 1870. ' I
WISER'MAN THEY SEEM.
It the writers 'on the Post were as ig
norant as they sometimes appear to be,
they would be more suitably employed
in breaking stone,onldghways than in as
suming to enlighten the public on imports
ant questions. The Republican party
exists 'for' certain ends, and no others.
The ends it has is view have been pro
claimed over and over again, and always
with a distinctness sufficient to make mis-
conception impossible.
That party takes no account of differ
ences hi religions faith and worship ; of
divergent ideas and purposes as to Free
Trade and Protection; or as to whether
its members tnake, vend or drink intoxi
cating
,beverages, or abstain therefrom.
This is why this journal has not con
cerned itself with Governor GEARY'S hab
its or professions in regard to Temperance.
If he sees proper to drink or not to drink
certain beverages, that is a matter which
does not concern the Republican party,.
but himself only; unless, indeed, if he
ihould see proper to drink, he should in
dulge to such a degree as to affect his
competency as a public officer. Except
under the condition stated, it would be a
piece of impertinence for us, as it is, with
the rolle, to drag his piofessions or prac
tice in this regard into current political
discussion.. , •
The GAZETTB,. supports G ov GEARY
for re•electlan under the' impression that
he does not drink, just. as it supports
other candidates on the ticket under the
impression that they do Indulge. If ever

TUE CUBAN FRAUD.
A Washington dispatch of the 22nd
says:
It has been discovered by an official at
the State Department that the Cuban
Constitution, published in May last in
the United ' '
States, differs from the one
promulgated in Cuba in July. The form
er is anti.slavery in its sentiments, while
the latter contains clauses reoosinising
slavery and upholding It throughout the
island in case the insurrection is a awl.
013£0.
Months ago, this journal invited public
attention to the palpable fact that this
Cuban revolt was a movement purely in
the interests of the perpetuation of Afri
can slavery upon that Wand. We have
never hesitated to speak of the so-called
Cuban Constitution, promulgated by Ces
pedee and his insurrectionary junta, as
a bald sham in so far as it purported to
declare the abolition of slavery. We
have often denounced the trick which
sought to engage our republican syrups-
thies, by its high•sounding proclamations
in behalf of human liberty, while the
maintenance of every odious and wicked
feature of the existing institution,
in the districts commanded by the flag of
revolt, gave proof of the real policy which
seeks the perpetuation of slavery in the
overthrow of the Spanish authority. We
have as often directed the notice of our
readers to the equally undeniable fact
that the armed resistance of these insur
gents has presented the only obstacle to
the immediate liberation of all the Cuban
populations, under that great charter of
universal • freedom, the new Con
stitution of Spain. And - we take
pleasure in rememberine that *e have as
steadily and faithfully remonstrated
In the twelve months past, against the
tidally mistaken policy which sought to
embroil the Government of this free
Republic—where universal freedom has
just been secured at so fearful a cost—ln
a foreign controversy and, of all things
the most disgracefully unfortunate, upon
the side of those who uphold and main •
Min the same accursed blot upon Christ
tan civilization,which nearly dragged the
Great Republic to its rain.
Instating, as we have, upon these
views, we have constantly deplored the
current efforts of a portion of the eastern
press to mislead the American public, as
to:the retti . merits of the Cuban question.

Some twelve years since a man named
Moses Savage returned from California,
having in his possession, so rumor said,
a large amount of gold. Ile stopped one
night at the house of Wilson Ager in
Robrersburg, and upon following
II morning his brother, Joshua Savage, on
calling at the house, was informed by
Ager that Moses had his departnre

been' seen or heard of. At shoat this
time Ager closed up a well On the prem.
waterhad always furnished good
declaring it to be in an unfit coa

peremptorily forbade the cleaning ont of
this well, work having been commenced
by directions of Mrs. Ager. Ager left
'home a short time after the disappearance
of Savage, stating that he was going to
California.- On hie return, which was
thought to be too soon for so distant a
journey, he had with him a large amount
of gold in &bag. A few days since the dis.

THE popular impression about Italy as
the land par excellence of assassination,
has, it appears, some basis In fact. The
proportion of homicides to population is
the highest in the - tienineula, being 10.82

is 8.24, in Sweden 2.02, in England 1.95,
and in Belgium only 0.16. About a
fifth of the cases of homicide in North
Italy are infanticides, the proportion di
minishing as we. go south. till in Sicily
it is only 2 per cent., a reduction probably
in inverse ratio , to the importance attached
to chastity.

The Code of Honor.
The code of honor is a code which puts
gentlemen at the mercy of bullies. In
the most plausible case that can be sug
gested it does this;; and as the feeling
which justifies it Is wholly morbid, you
might.as well reason with a miasma.
Still, this may not seem to dispose of
the question. In the present states of
iesce i
feeling you insist that it is a very serious
injury to man to acqun an insult.
If at a public table, say at Saratoga, at
Newport, wherever it may be a person
suddenly arrests attention by loudly ex
claiming to you across the table,"Sir, you
lie • you are no gentleman," and then
swishes a bumper of port into your face
and over your most miraculous shirt-front,
what is to be done ? Yon declare that if
the insulted person merely changes hie
shirt the stain remains,
won e
or cris aloud
for vengeance, and he ill find that he
had better leave the place if he intends to
do nothing. Very well ; what might to
be done ? Let the opponent be of his
own circle, and not a recognized adven
turer or hick-leg -0d still, what shall be
be done? Shall he :demand an apology,
and, if it be refused, ,blow out the brains
of the offender : or take any of the milder
measures, such as turning his - nose with
some vehemence. of mining him in the
sheet ; shall he o ff er the person who has
insulted him a chance t to kill him also?
And if you who are the Insulted per
son, as it is ckled, do any of these things,
why do you do it? If, inde;ed, in hot
blood, you fly at him across the table, or
fling a, dectgiter at him as a Roland for
his Oliver, you do as all men do who lose
their tempers. But that is quite another
affair. If, however, you proceed in any
of the manners we have mentioned, you
do it because of a certain public - opinion.
The real question for you, then;le whether
it is a right or wrong public opinion,
whether you ought to yield to It or pro
test against It. That is a question upon
which it should seem that few gentlemen
ought to differ. The business of gentle
men is obviously , to elevate and purgy
public opinion ;;and this is done•in many
ways, but in none more effectividy than
in guarding their own conduct Boston
Gentleman No .1 Is perhaps generally sup
posed to have resented an ,insult in an
amusing -and' appropriate manner. But
i wkigras not his behavior, in irritably
m
g and pushing at the bags and baby
wagons 'of _a passenger who had stated
his intention to vacate the seat, quite as
insulting as the remark w hich that passen
ger made upon rising ? Upon a fair re
view of this leading case, then, ought not
a gentleman to decide that his duty is not
to assert his gentility by turning the nose
of the doubtfhl Thomas, but by quietly
despising the public opinion which re
quires him to turn it ?--F ti Y Cumn, /for

General Grant and his ramily le ft here '
yesterday, going by way of Wheeling to
Washington city. A dispatch took them
away a day or two sooner than they had
purposed to go. While here the Presi
dent endeared himself to the people very
much. He is emphatically one of the
people. and wherever • he goes he must
make boats of friends.

cuously. I to-morrow should be a
pleasant day there will doubtless be 31-_
great gather ng of the citizens of the
county.
Washington and Jefferson College is
now opening its fall term. Dr. J. I.
Brownson is acting as President pro tem.
The injunction is, fox the present, a
troublesome thing: It will be cheerful
ly endured till it can be removed. R
can work but temporary disadvantage to
the College. The final adjudication of
the matter will set all right. The pros
pect for students is rather cheering.
The political campaign is slowly open
ing. The Senatorial question has been
;an incubus. It is difficult to create en
tklasiasth. Mr. Ratan is now canvassing
this county in connection with other
candidates. He reports signs encour
aging—is confident he will be elected. if
the Republicans carry the election in this
county they must work vigorously—must
leave no stone unturned.
THE particulars of the murder of Fran
lein Tinne, the Dutch lady, while travel
ing in Africa, are given by a Malta cor
respondent of a London paper. For bet
ter protection, she had engaged the ser
vicetrof two chiefs to escort her to Ghat.
The chiefi quarrelled. or pretended to
quarrel, when two Europeons in her
service indeavoring top acify then - got
first mutilated and then slain, whereupon
Miss Tinne, nothing daunted, made her
appearance to pacify the contending,
chiefs,who, seeing her with uplifted hand
and fancying that the she was about dis
charging a revolver, aimed a cut with a
scimetar, and chopped off the lady's hand,
and immediately alter a 1.19.11 pierced her
breast and left her lifeless. A young Al
gerine girl in her service was carried .
away, but all the others, men, women
and children, 2dohamedans, were spared,
and were on their return to Mourzourk,
to which place they will endeavor to carry
the body of their mistress, who had ex-.
pressed a wish, if anything happened to
her, to be interred in Mourzourk. Not
only was the body stripped and plttadered
before it was cold, but also her'money,
jewelry and baggage shifted out among
the lawless escort. The news reached - -
Tripoli August 18th. T,wo of her nephews
have gone tai' look site; her body.
—lt was reported in Albany, New
York, last night that Adam Van Allen,
cashier of the First National Bank of
that city, was arrested on a charge of
defrauding the United States Govern
ment, by using cancelled revenue
stamps, - and taken before United
States Commissioner Frothingham, who
admitted him to bail in $5,000.

One of the truest and most suggesttve ideas
an be obtained from the caption at the head
of this &Mae; for of all diseases which impair
buman health and shorten bursars life, none are
snore prevalent thin those which affect the lungs
and pulmonary tissues. Whither we regard lung
diseases in the light of a merely alight cough,
which is but the ionrrunner Of s more serious
malady, or as a deep lesion corroding and dis
solving the pulmonary structure, it is always
pregnant with evil and foreboding of disaster.
In no class of maladies should the physician or
the friends and family of the patient be more
seriously forewarned than in those of the lungs,
for it is in them that early and efficient treat
ment is most desirable, and it is then that danger
