CALIFORNIA!
The Republicans of the country arc
justily enthusiastic over their great polit
icul triumph in California. At the last
State election the Democratic, major
ity was about nine thousand, and in the
Legislature that party was Tery largely
in the ascendant. .Now all this is revers
cd. Oq Wednesday last Newton Booth
was chosen Governor by about C500 ma
jority, with a Legislature bo decidedly
Republican that a Senator of the same
faith to succeed Mr. Cole is certain to be
elected. More than this, the Republicans,
who had only one of the three Rcpresen
tatives in the last Congress, have now
three of the State delegation. The re
volution is complete. Well done, Cali
fornia ! Advance, Pennsylvania !
MA INK The Election in this State,
on Monday last, resulted in the election
of Perhain, Republican, by over 10,000
majority, and 29 out of 31 State Senators
and en. re than three fourths of the Hep
rcrtutatircs.
TMi: DIMIOCRAT OX A HOAX.
The chanticleer of the Monroe Democrat
rf last week, sets up a very vigorous crowing
j:r: i caekling, which is jceuliar to that bird,
f'Vi r a very rut ten egg of its own laying.
Hut what are the facta? "Why just these :
CJef-rge O. Evan., was appointed by Gov.
Geary early in 107, Agent of this State to
fMt!e the claims held against the United
S'.aies on aexunt of the War. The resolu
t!' :i authorizing the appointment of such
a nt is as follows :
"Reived by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania in general assembly met.
That the Governor be and is hereby autor-
ire 1 appoint a special Agent to collect the
the disallowed au 1 suspended claims against
t!f United States, who.se compensation for
that purpose .shall not exceed ten per centum
of the amounts thus collected, and shall be
pud out cf iuch collections'
Ti iee c!ai m ha I been rejected by the United
States govtrniccLt. The Agent was to be at
all the expon.-e of collecting said claims, and
wa.s to pay to the State Treasurer the sums
which might be collected bv him, less the ten
I-.-r cent compensation as allowed by Act of
the legislature. This was also stipulated in
the agreement between the Executive and
Evan. April 1S71, Evans effectedaset
t! n.t:it of these previously rejected war
elaim. an 1 subsequently paid to the State
Treasurer the entire turn thus settled and
C'.leeted. less the commission, which the Act
of the Legislature and his agreement between
tho Executive cxpre.s.ly allowed him to re
tnin. There was no other provision for his
ev.ien-3tion, and had he paid over the en
tin "urn, these was no officer of the State
w ho could or would pay him a cent, as no
appropriation had been made for that pur
pose.
The cau.se of the disp.ute bectween the
State Treasurer and Auditor General with
Evan, seems to be a technical quibble. The
State authorities alleging that Evans should
have paid into the State Treasury the entire
sum collected by him, and then the State
Treasurer would have allowed Evans to draw
his commission. The money, which the
tmt.'.ul Democrat alleges that Evans stole
from the State, is precisely the sum total
of his commission on the amount collected
by him for the State, namely: $201 XX).
The whole matter in a nut-shell, we re
peat, ii feimply a technical quibble between
the State authorities and Evans the former
alleging that the latter should have paid
into the State Treasury, the entire sum col
lected by him. Ix-fore he was "entitled to his
cuiiiUiisj-ion; while Evans alleges that he
Lad a right to retain his commission out of
the sum collected, believing that 'the act of
the Legislature and the article of agreement
ltween him and ths Executive, warranted
him m duing so.
The Slate can loe nothing in any event
Rat it is possible that Evans Las legally for
f cited his commission, by his failure to have
his account with the State formally settled
by the State authorities at an earlier date :
and if so, the State, in that event, will have
gamed or profited by Evans' neglect nearly
WW). And this is the money which
the truthful and astute Democrat asserts
Evans "stole" from the State.
That is all there is in the Democrat's
mare's-nest
Rut f ;r fair and square stealing, and
scoun lrclim of the most perfect type, we
would refer our Democratic friend to the
New York City Democratic officials, who
plunder their constituents by millions of dol
lars, but who ji;st now dou't feel good over
it.
t& We tote next year in TcDnsyl
vania for President, Governor, Congress,
a Supreme judge, and a Legislature to
elect a United States Senator to cuccced
Senator Cameron.
jEsT'Tiie Republicans of Carbon, in county
convention met, nominated a full ticket for
the support of the people of that county.
This is a proceeding throughout which
t-hould be speedily followed by Republicans
of Monroe county. It is the only course
that will secure a perfect organization of the
party here, and enable us to act with a show
of ever breaking tho chains which bind the
mass of our people to the car of Democracy.
Brethren, let us think seriously of this thing,
and sec if we cannot, by another year, bring
ourselves to the task of doing our whole duty
to our country, to posterity and to ourselves,
Daniel Kalbfus, Esq. The Repub
licans of Carbon have presented this gentle
men to the Republicans of Monroe for their
support for the office of Representative. The
right to the nomination, this year, is vested in
Carbon ; and it does us good to see that they
have so well acquitted themselves in the
exercise of their right Mr. Kalbfus is a
gentleman of the utmost integrity, is possess
ed of more than usual talent, is a finished
speaker, and would represent us at Ilarris
burg with an honor such as Las seldom fallen
to our share there. Against his Democratic
opponents we would say nothing dispar
iugly, but no one will pretend to say that in
point of fitness cither of them approach any
ways near him.
Republicans you have a duty to perform
this fall, and you should perform it faithfully.
One part of that duty is to support this
nomination with all your might: Another
part of your duty is to avoid entangling
aliances with the Democracy. There are
skunks to skin in that party let its meniber
Ierform the disagreeable job themselves.
For us let us work and vote for Kalbfus and
Republicanism, and if we fail to elect him,
we will have left to us the proud conscious
ness of having faithfully acted as every man
who loves the principles of the Republican
part should act. We shall have worked
and voted fur a man in every way deserving
of cur confidence and support.

Fair of the runners' and Me
chanics' Institute at i:aton, Pa.
1 he board of Directors of the Farmers' and
Mechanics' Institute have resolved to hold
their annual fair this year, ou their grounds,
at Easton, Pa., on the 19th, 20th, 21st and
22d days of September next The premium
list is liberal and the building, grounds, track
and stabling are the finest of any society or
association of a like kind in the State of
Pennsylvania. aug. 10'71-5t.
Again would wc remind our readers of
the approaching county Fair, to be held od
the 20, 27, 23 and 29, of September, and
prevail upen them the necessity of each one
preparing an article of feme description, and.
taking it there for exhibition, ia order to;
make the undertaking a success. We Lave,
in this county, talented mechanics of every
description, excellent land, for the culture of
all the product of the farm and garden,
and, last but not least, excellent and thrifty
housewives, and there is no season why our
Fairs should not excel in every department
The fact that these institutions appear to be
growing more and more unpapular each year,
is owing to the apparent negligence of the
IcoplG of the country. The premium list
for the year is more than usually liberal, and
the management have done all in their pow
er to make this the best Fair that has ever
been held in the county. So bestir your
selves, friends, we beseech you, that their inost
sanguine anticipations may be fully realized.
Slate Fair. The exhibition of the
Penn?ylvania State Agricutnral Society which
occura at Scranton on September 19th, 20th,
21st and 22J prombes to be a display of un
usual magnificence. A splendid collection of
native and imported live stock will be on ex
hibition, including horned cattle, sheep, swine,
Ac.
One of the prominent featnrea of the fair will
be the grand trials of fpecd, which are to take
place daily for the largest premiums ever offer
ed by the society, and we are assured that in
this, as in all the branches of home industry
competition will be remarkably brL-k and ac
tive. Arrangements have been concluded for
the finest and largest floral display ever shown
at any exhibition of the society, which will in
clude all the rarest and most beautiful varie
ties of native and exotic plants.
Liberal terms have been made with the dif
ferent Railroad companies, by which excursion
ticket good for the round trip will be issued
at greatly reduced rates and all animals and
articles that have been on exhibition and re
main unsold will be returned free. The pros
pects of the society for a brillant fair have nev
er been more promising, and as this is the last
exhibition that will occur in this section for a
number of years we hope our citizens and peo
ple of the neighborhood will contribute liberal
ly in the way of entries, attend in a body and
make it both creditable and successful.
Among' other incidents of excitement
which occurred on Sunday last, was the cap
ture of a genuine Sturgeon, in Irodhead's
creek, near the iron bridge, at the lower end
of town. This monster fish came near being
captured some time since, by a party who
were fishing with a net, but a3 those gentle
men failed to secure it, not much credence was
placed in their story. On Sunday last, how
ever, Mr. William Pngh, George Dreher and
David Walker, were passing over the bridge,
when they discovered his fish-ship lazily
swimming about beneath them. They imme
diately secured a pole and a piece of telegraph
wire, from which they formed a "snare" for
the purpose, if possible, of capturing him. After
getting the snare in proper position, and, after
considerable exertion, on the part of the gen
tlemen composing the party, they pulled him
ashore. Then came a fearful struggle, in
which Mr. Sturgeon proved himself the
stronger of the party, for he reached the wa
ter, and bid adieu to his captors. A pair of
"ice hooks" were then Bccured, and with the
aid of the "hioks" and "snare", they again
succeeded in getting the fish upon shore, and
bore their prize triumphantly away. By ex
act measurement, this monster fish was found
to be five feet nine incites in length, weighing
sevenly-fivt pounds. This, we think, cannot be
beaten in any stream of its size in the State,
and moreover, it corroborates the statement
made by the young men who were fishing
with the net, the truthfulness of which was
doubted very much.
School Hooks. The want has long
been felt by parents of the adoption by the
School Board, of a regular series of Text
Books in our Borough Schools, that should not
be changed every winter, with the change in
Teachers, thus subjecting the parents to the
continual cost of buying new books before the
old ones were half worn out
The present Board have taken the matter in
hand, and have now adopted a series of Books,
which the law prescribes shall not be changed
within five years. They have also made ar
rangemcnts with the Publishers, by which the
present series win be obtained at less thau half
price by exchanging the old Books for the new
ones.
The Directors feel satisfied that they have
adopted the best ncries of Books now published
and the arrangements they have made with the
publishers are so favorable that the cost of
making the change, will in no case exceed one
dollar fur all the Books a parent will have to
purchase, and in most cases perhaps will not
amount to that much, which taken in consider
ation with the fact that no change can here
after be made for five years, seems to warrant
the assertion that they have done the best
thing, in permanently settling the vexing qnes'
tion of Text Books.
The series adopted are,
Brook's Normal series of Mathematics, includ
ing
Brook's Primary Arithmetic,
tleraentary
Mental
Written
(i
Algebra
Geometry
Fewsmith's Elementary Grammar,
" English
Pearsons Questions, with Mitchel's Atlas, in
Geography, for the High School.
Monteith'e No. 1 for Primary Department,
" " 2 " Secondarv " .
" " 3 " lutermediate "
Quackenbos' History,
Steele's National Philosophv,
Warren's Physical Geography,
Cutter's Physiology,
Sander's series of Headers,
Normal and Commercial System of writing,
Sander's Spelling Books.
Parents will do well before purchasing Books
in all cases to consult the Teachers as to the
grade of books required which will hereafter
depend strictly upoa the advancement of the
pupil. In this way much inconvenience and
cost to the parent may be saved, and a system
of grading more nearly perfect be established
in our Schools.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD.
For the JefTersoman,
Oakland, September 10, 1S71.
Noticing the subject of your Scranton Letter
W23 about newspapers of that city, the thought
occurred to me that I might write something
this week that would be interesting to the ball
playing readers of your paper, if not to all. In
an out of the way and mountainous place like
this, one would not suppose a base ball club
could exist, but for the benefit of the aforesaid
base ballists. I would say that we have in this
place the material of which a crack nine can
be made. Our Red Jacket boy's with practice
cannot fail to becomp one the first clubs of the
county, They are all (with two exceptions
Farmers sons and strong active and gentleman
ly fellows and considering the shortness of the
time since they were organized play a splendid
game, and I think they would give any club in
the conntv a rood rub to beat them now. It
j
is their aim to become a working nine that can
receive from and send a challange anywhere
in a reasonable distance, but not this season,
but should they receve one I don't think they
would waver.but accept if they were even cer
tain of being beaten. The other club of Cana
densis is not a regular nine, being composed of
every one who wishes to play for amusement,
but they have some good players but they don't
pretend to make it a business of it. The fol
lowing is the working nine of Oakland club.
Capt. Joseph Murphy, Harvey Decker, Domin
ick Brown, Phillip Keohler, William Surgent,
Bufus I. Northrop, Chas. P. Mick, Paul Price,

men muscular and very active, quick of percep
tion, and most of the Ladies say a good look
ing nine. I might add there is some talk of
their coming to Stroudsburg to play at or
about the time of the fair, but it may be only
a rumor. If they do the boys will have to play
sharp. More anon. Zeeec
For the Jeffersonian.
Mountain Home, Pa., Sept. 12, 1S71.
Mr. Editor : As you requested me some
time ago to acquaint you with any liltle inci
dents occurring in this locality which would
be of interest to your readers, I ask the privi
lege of occupying a short space in the columns
of your paper, in order to inform your readers
of a few incidents connected with a trip a par
ty of us had a few days ago from Mountain
Home to Stroudsburg.
On Saturday last, a party consisting of about
fifty of the members of Mountain Home
Lodge, No. CS4, L O. of O. Y, went to Strouds
burg, for the purpose of visiting Fort Penn
Lodge, No. 134. Upon arriving at that place,
we were informed that arrangements had been
made for our entertainment at the Stroudsburg
House and at the Indian Queen Hotel, to
which p.laces we at once repaired, and after in
dulging a little at the bar supper was an
nounced, and, such a supper ; I have searched
"throughout tlie whole vocabulary for words
adequate to express the delight and gratifica
tion of the party when they beheld the sump
tuous repast that was spread out for them, and
I think, if you had witnessed the manner in
which, some of them pitched into the good
things provided for the occasion, you would
undoubtedly have come to the conclusion that
some of them at least had fasted for a whole
week previous, for the sake of having satisfac
tion when they came to Stroudsburg, and I
venture the assertion that if friend Shafer of the
Indian Queen Hotel, made anything out of
his share of that party, he did more than
friend Allender of the Stroudsburg House.
And here, let me remark that if any of your
readers have an idea that friend Allender does
not know how to keep a hotel, let them stop
there once, and they will very soon find out
how easy it is to be deceived, and while we
feel that we are but doing a simple act of jus
tice to the gentlemanly proprietor of the
Stroudsburg IIohsc, we would also take oc
casion to say that those of the party who
stopped at the Indian Queen were uuanimous
in their expressions of satisfaction at the
treatment they received from the proprietor,
Well, after the party had satisfied themselves
that the landlords would not say that thev did
not eat enough, they started out, some on busi
ness and some for pleasure, until the ringing
of the bell summoned them to the Lodge
room. Here we again met, and here we wit
nessed the solemn and impressive ceremony of
initiation into the mvstenes of Odd rellow-
ship, as conducted in Fort Penn Lodge. After
the closing of the Lodge, we repaired to the
depot, making calculations on the way, how
many of us could get on one coal train, and
how many in one caboose ; but, imagine our
delight when we arrived at the depot and
found that arrangements had been made by
Mr. I. T. Puterbaugh, Esq., the gentlemanly
superintendent, by which an elejrant passen
ger car was held in readiness for us, and await
ing our coming, ana in which we had a very
pleasant ride back to our homes, and although
some of our party made the remark that they
never before had as long a ride in a railroad
car for the same amount of money, yet the
time passeu away very pleasantly and agree
ably to the whole party, for we had our mutual
friend and brother, James Brewer, Esq., of
Canadensis, who was the clown of the show,
i . .
ana in wnose company time passes away very
rapiaiy.
The thanks of the entire nartv are due. and
are hereby tendered to the oflicers and mem
bers of ort Penn Lodee. for the manner in
which we were received and entertained dur
ing our sojourn among them, also to the pro
prietors of the hotels at which, we were enter
tained, for the kindness with which we were
treated, and last, but not least, to Mr. Puter-
uaugn, ior his kindness in providing for us a
comfortable passage to our homes, and we
irusi mat me timemay not be far distant
when we will have the privilece of rehiring.
