THURSDAY, AUGUST 2G, 1875.
fcif The Senatorial question is warming up
lively. The aspirants Messrs. Depuy, Cool
bangl), and IUirnct arc working hard, with the
latter, it is said on the inside track. As we are
fotumitted to the nupport of Amandus )'
Deaiocrat of caur?e we don t bother our self
with outside squabhles.
The Erie Convention.
On the 8th of September the Eric Con
tention will meet. The time is shoit, and in
View of this fact, and that other fact that our
distinguished ucighbor over the way is the
delegate from this county, the question to
him becomes an important one. Arc you
prepared ? True, the doings of that Conven
ton are not going to turn out preparations
for our funeral ; and it may be thought that
we have no put in the matter. Wo have an
interest in it, nevertheless so much of an
interest that we caunot forego the pleasure
of throwing in our mite towards securing a
distinguished representation. We have al
confidence in our distinguished neighbor.
lie has talent, Democratic probity and a wil
to "bust the clouds," if necessary to secure
the object of his mission. But then lie has
no experience, lie is green jolly green a
Veritable rough diamond spread out upon the
grass and we would knock the crustations
off IiEti--barni.sh tip his rough spots and
JIacc him before the crowd with which he
will come in contact, a bright jewel in the
galaxy of Democracy.
As we said before, he has no experience
tn State conventions. 7,Te have had. W
have been there on several occasions we
have looked we have worked we have
conned we have danced lustily; and we
have paid the fiddler well for his fiddling.
Why not then impart our experience, and
from the abundance of our heart make our
pen to speak those words of soberness, wis
dom and truth which may, if heeded, place
our distinguished neighbor on the highest
pinnacle, not only as a model Democrat, but,
also, as a delegate of the first water. We
assume the task ; and now, neighbor, stand
tip and !itcu attentively, that not a single
word be lost.
In the first place, neighbor, it should be
borne in mind that iu all Democratic Con
ventions brass is bound to win, and that the
more brilliantly the article is finished, and
the more freely flashed, the more certain the
effect We have no fears of you, so far as
a possession of the article goes. You have
it in abundance; but, then it is latent with
in you and crude, and rusty for want of use.
Sow we want you to begin the work of ex
huming the precious metal, at once begin
the whittling off of the rough edges the
sand papering down, and the polishing so
Jiecessary to attract attention and secure awe.
As there is nothing like first impressions to
secure respect, you will of course dress in
Jour Sunday clothes, make free use of soap
(You had better take a good chunk of the
home-made article along,) and water, keep
your face and nose and hands clean, tip an
occasional dime to the boot-black, throw
back your head, swell out your chest and
walk among the delegates as though you
considered yourself a power not to be sneezed
at. Wit, too, properly thrown in, is worthy
of consideration ; and, as it seems to be your
forte to be excruciatingly funny here at
home, it would not be amiss if you should
carry with you a few well conned Allcntown
"chokes," as a means to bring back to reason
and good humor any, whom accidental
brusqueness on your part might vex. And
We do not know but that a theological tinge
in your walk and conversation would have a
?Mpp7 effect. Your European experience in
that direction would readily prompt you
v hen to put on and take off the appearance
of semi-religious fervor. These being the
fules necessary to secure success, it but re
mains for us to suggest the manner of their
application.
This portion of our self-imposed task, vrc
frmless to be by fur the most difficult por
tion; And yet, after all, we dou't know but
that the application is easy enough. You
have but to be sure, as a first necessity, to
always keep in mind that you arc the repre
sentative of the banner Democratic County
of the State even gallant Monroe the
county which, in fiction at least, holds the
banner wagered by the brothers Rigler
vVillisai and John years upon years ago.
Having this in mind you will be sure to keep
your eyes peeled for the assemblage of any
suspicion little cotaries during the sessions
and recesses of the convention. These are
always to be feared and nipped in the bud,
at once, for it is in these that mischiefs are
brewed and delegates sold as sheep on the
shambles. On seeing such, you will at once
assume a theologico-majestic mien, and
stalking in, with an assumption of virtuous
indignation, insist upon it that every thing
tierc must be done on the square. You had
better, immediate'' on your arrival, secure a
seat commanding al! portions of the room,
and commanded by all portions.
We would not, however, being an instruct
ed di-legao, r.dvise you to aspire to the Pres
idency of the- cr;Mer?roT, thwjh for a
Mioment doubting your ability to fill it with
?ionor and acceptance, nor would we advise
you to accept any other official position the
best place to work, decidedly, being on the
floor. Here bring all your latent abilities in
play, your versatility of resource, your clo
rpicneo, your wrf, yonr withering invective,
s'l m-iy in turn stand you in hand, and it is
not presuming too much for us to say, that
your immaculate wisdom will readily prompt
you which, when and how to use. Settmcri

your efforts will create ail impression vivid,
astonishing and captivating to the last de
gree. Whether the end will be the trium
phant success of your endeavors, will, how
ever," depend much upon whether you sue
ceed in securing votes enough.
c have thus endeavored to give you m
general terms the best method of success
fuly fulfilling the duties of a delegate to
a Democratic Convention. Particulars, o
course, you will supply yourself. One thin
we had almost forgotten. It should hav

The one-horse committee annointed hv the

the rnnditlnn nf thn tnf T
plains, in its partisan report, that no interest
has ever been paid into the State Treasury
-
for the use of the State funds ou deposit with
the banks. The reason why this is the fact
is thus pointed out by the Potter Journal :
"In 1S70, Hon. D. N.White, of Alle-
gheny, having given this subject a thorough
. .
examination, prepared a bill to secure to the tional parts has eloped with a military rcr
Statc interest on all money deposited in .nn . i, fi. i,.ririi' f n e, 1

It was uevcr even discussed in the Demo
cratic Senate. The .necch made bv Mr. W.
in the House, in favor of his biil, contains
ar more information aud is a more eflective
appeal for reform than any report the House
committee as now constituted will evermake.
This speech will be found on page 278 of the
Ijcguilatixe Journal for 1871, and is the
strongest appeal for reform that has ever
been made m our State for years, either iu
the Legislature or out of it."
Here, then, were two acts, passed in two
successive years, by a Republican House of
Representatives, and defeated by a Demo
cratic Senate, intended to effect the verv ro-
form the absence of which is so much la-
'
meuted by this Democratic committee. The

Baso Ball.
In August of last season the Modoc Rase
Rail Club of Washington3 N. J. visited this
place and by good play on their part and
horrible muffing by their opponents ad
ministered a defeat to the Tom Collins Club
(now Caldeno) by a score of 41 to 12. It
was the first defeat the Collins boys had
received and as it proved the worst they
received during the season, and they have
always been a little sore upon it. They
were unable to play the return game last
season, but had resolved early this season
to visit Washington and show the Modocs
the difference between '74 and '75 as
base ball iu Stroudsburg. Accordingly last
Saturday ihcy embarked on the noon train,
accompanied by quite a crowd of the
admirers of the game from this vicinity.
On their arrival they immediately donned
their uniforms and wended their tedious
way to the ball grounds which were some
what down near Cape May, judging from
the distance we traversed. Game was
called at 2:40 in the presence of some three
or four hundred spectators, including a
number of the gentler sex, our boys to the
field. Two men were quickly disposed of
at first, when a low throw gave Leigh his
first, a passed ball and hit by Syphers
brought him in, when Thompson went out
at first. The Caldenos scored four, Walton,
Mclntyrc, Holmes and Hays being the
luckey men. Six straight whitewashes
next astounded the Modocs, but four men
seeing first during the six innings. Our
boys received a goose egg on the second
inning ; the third Mclntyre scored one, on
the fourth Schoch did likewise, on the fifth
Mclntyre, Holmes, Zeigler, Logan and
Schoch scored their dots, on the sixth
Holmes placed another on the Caldeno side
of the account, on the seventh, Logan,
Schoch, Marsh, Mclntyre and Hayes added
live more. On the eighth inning a base
hit by Shrope, and a couple of passed balls
put a 1 down for the Modocs. Huston
and Schoch placed two more on the Caldeno
ue. Ninth inning another whitewash
for the Modocs and Hayes and Huston
scored two more for the Caldenos. School
left on second after a beautiful two base hit
and our boys victorious by a score of 21
to 2. The Modocs' play was excellent
excepting their disastrous wild throwing
occasionally. The Caldenos played magni
ficently, every member of the nine playing his
position in first class style ; only seven errors
were made b- them and most of these were
excusable. The umpiring of the genial John
was beyond criticism, the best by far we have
seen this season. The following is the score

Judge Pearson, of the North Carolina
Supreme Court, rendered an opinion which
is interesting under certain circumstances
In this case the parties had made a con
tract of marriage and on the day previous
to the marriage, the woman executed a
deed of gift of her real estate to the value

The Xew York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger cites a curious fact
which has just come out to confirm the old
saying that ill-gotten money never stays
long with the getter. A young man who
maintained intimate relations with William
M. Tweed managed to acquire by ring pro
cesses a fortune not for far from $230,

while the campaign against the Ross was in
progress, but when the litigation against
the ring was recently renewed in order to
compel them one and all to disgorge, the
individual in question was frightened, and
on a sudden impulse transferred all his pro
perty to the temporary custody of a per

which usually attend transactions of the
kind. A few days since this friend in need
had business which called him off to l.'.,,-,,..,i
