4 - f - ' i. I - - ;t i -,v ,1 Sljc ScuciTionian. THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1ST6. In a lew days more the Republican Con vention will be in session at Cincinnati. No one can certainly foretell its action, but it is reasonable to suppose that men fully com petent and worthy will.be its nominees. We can conceive of no man who would so fully fill these conditions ia a candidate for the Presidency as honest John F. IIaktranft, Governor of Pennsylvania. In no positiou in which he has been placed has he failed in luectins: public expectation, and it would be safe to predict for his administration a bril liancy such as but few Presidents have sue cceded in securing. Nor are the prospects that the successful presentation of his name be fo re the convention is not within proba bility. Other States recognize his honorable and practicable characteristics, and bis nomination would not in the least surprise us. The convention certainly could not do a better piece of work, nor one more sure to brim: success to the Ticket in November. ' Plaster.

The Democratic boomerang, in the hands cf 1 leister Clymcr, is creating rather more deplorable results in the ranks of its own party gods, than it did among Republicans. It did an excellent thing in exposing the rarcality of Secretary Belknap, which would have been mere excellent still if it had not been handled so bungling as to leave room ibr doubt whether the place-broker-Secrctary will not escape punishment for bis misdeeds. I t did another excellent tiling, not intentional to be sure, but excellent nevertheless. It brought Gentleman Geo. S. & Pendleton's Treasury grab of a cool $140,000 to the fore, and more recently a little dive at commis sion brokerage, on the part of that saintly Democratic magnate, . Speaker Kerr, and revealed even his price, which was $450 to secure a 2nd Lieutenancy in the Army. We do not see that "our distinguished neighbor over the way," has made a note of the boomerang effect on either of these earnestly Democratic transactions. Supposing he should, for a time lay aside his speculations on Cabinet appointments, which amount to nothing, and give us bis notion of Democratic treasury grabbing and commission brokerage, both as a political virtue and a source of profit to the saints of the party. Such an essay on his part could not fail to prove profitable to the party and a source of delectation to the general public. Our enterprising carriage builder, Valen tine Kautz, is always getting up something new. A few evenings ago " Jes." made his appearance on our streets with a new rig, which for durability and beauty cannot be excelled.

Place, more familiarly known as "Judge," oldest son of Hon. Jas. Place, of 31. Smithfield township, committed sui cide last Monday night, by hanging himself in the barn of Mr. Pimmick OverGeld, his father in-law, where he was found on Tues day morning. Adversity and dissipation an assigned as the cause of the rash act. "To SATISFY our excellent friend of the Siroudsburg .Ufhsoniui we will say that v.e regard M. F. Lynott, the Assemblyman, v. b claimed to be a Democrat, and was ex pelled, as a scoundrel, and well deserving the treatment he received. He will now vwy naturally gravitate over to the party where his hat-its will entitle hiin to consider ation and favor. . Don't you remember i'ri"1!! d Schoch that Simon Cameron used to c' aim th?.t he was a Democrat? Governor Hart raft net so br;g ago made the same pre tensions. So did Ben. Butler, and a lot of other chap?, whoe names will ever occupy r: enviable place in history. Add Lynott to the li.-r, and when we discover more rogues in -ur ranks we will kick them out that you may increase your forces. Friend Theodore, we'eome them." Extern Argus. the lamp has ceased to burn" T i r ,1 ll.i rior-g comes our friend of the Argus with the above vaporings, by way of condemna tion of the disgraced Lynott. Lynott does net " naturally gravitate" outside of bis old patty lines friend, but remains a leader among the Democracy of Luzerne, without thought of deserting his brethren. Nor wi-uM he suit among us. We might, it is true, by clearing him of his Democratic love ibr stealing and bribes make a man of him, ' if it were not that be is so thoroughly im bued with its principles as to make him a hopeless case, and of such is not the Repub lican party composed. We do remember friend that Simon Cameron, Governor Ilart ra: if: and Ben. Butler not only claimed to but did belong to the Democratic party. We- remember, too, that about the time an editor of the Argus, and the proprietor of the C'jrr''owlutt were sneaking around en deavoring to find currant bushes under which to hide f;um the vengeance of a community, outraged by the disloyalty of themselves and papers, these men were earnestly laboring to preserve the Union which the Argus and Corrctjjoiidctit then would have destroyed, and left the party because within its ranks disloyally was the rule and loyalty the ex ception. The three have since rendered ex cellent service to the country, and we are sur prised to sec the Argus descending from its hitherto honorable position to beslime them v.ith so odious a com parson. Now that the Argus has disposed of Ly nott by his condemnation, we would like to know what he proposes touching the immac ulate Speaker Kerr. The Speaker is under a most deplorable cloud and calls loudly for friends to the rescue. If Belknap deserves impeachment, bow much less punishment ihould be mooted out to the champion Com inissirn broker, whose terms are "for a 2d Lieutenancy $450, cash in hand." If we are going to have a hoaa fule fair this fall, a real genuine Agricultural exhibi tion, now is the time to talk it up. We have Lad the mixed exhibitions made up of a good deal of horse race and very little of any thing else but these, from mismanagement or .some other cause, failed to pay. Jct us now fVdr'y try the genuine Agricultural fair, r.ud see if v.e cannot set the Monroe County Agricultural Society permanently aud pe cuniuriiy upon its feet. The effort' is certain ly worth trying. That flight of stone .steps, fifty in num ber, recently creeted at the Cemetery are ijuitc an improvement, end will prove a great Cv-uveuichoc to pedestrians. Strawberry and Icecri:a:i Festi val at Huffman's I lull , on the evenings of Wednesday and Thursday, the 14th aud 15th inst. We learn that Mr. Samuel Huffman lias kindly rented his Hall and Garden to the ladies of the M. E. Church for two eve nings as above mentioned, for the purpose of holding a festival for the benefit of the M. E. Church of this place. Ten cents admission will be charged for which a ticket will be given, which ticket will pay for ten cents worth of any thing on sale at the festival. The place selected for holding the festi val is a very desirable on?, as every thing connected with the Hall and grouuds is in. complete readiness, elegant in arrangement, aud sufficiently extensive to accommodate a large crowd, which wo hope will embrace the above opportunity for social enjoyment aud at the same time contribute towards a worthy cause. ' . . Judge Tiisoop, and Wm. Dean, are still enjoying their Serantoa visit. That response in reply to an iuvitation to partake of a treat at the Burnett House, last Tuesday, was entirely uncalled for, and only disclosed the long ears of the gentleman who uttered it. Shame.

Our esteemed friend the "promising young law student," while suffering from a slight indisposition a few days ago, thought perhaps it might be a case of measles. In order to satisfy himself, he wrote to his pa ternal ancester, to know whether he ever had them or not, and in reply received the fol lowing brief but pointed answer: "Yes, but hogs have them twice." Charley and Lis fneuds enjoyed the reply hugely. Our USusical Visitors. The long talked of visit to our beautiful borough, by the Washington Brass Band, Washington, N. J., was made last Tuesday. They were met at the depot by Beethoven Band accompanied by a committee of our citizens, as follows: Capt. Bennett, D. R. Brown, D. S. Lee, Esq., A. D. Melick, J. H. McCarty, Simon Fried, Henry Dulett, David Keller, B. F. Morey, and M. A. De L. Van Horn, Esq. The Washington Band was accompanied by Col. W. II. Dawes, Proprietor of "Van Porn House," Col. J. T. Johnston, Dr. W. Seip, Maj. S. W. Her- rick, (alias Zeb Grummet,) J. 0. McClelland, John T. Langstaff. Samuel Stewart, J. B. Thompson, C. Lunger, II. S. Grolf, Jno. M. Wyckoff, O. B. Sigley, Editor Washington Star, Peter R. Weiler, all prominent citizens of Washington. After disembarking from the train they all boarded the street cars and were brought to the Old Grave Yard when they got off, formed in order and marched up town, headed by Beethoven Band. Ar riving in front of Keller Bro's., a halt was made when M. A. De L. Van Horn, Esq., delivered an address welcoming the Wash ington bovs to our midst. Maj. IIerricks in behalf of the Brass Band and guests accom panying them, responded in his usual bril liant style, after which introductions, hand shaking, ccc. were in order. While thus at leisure a committee of ladies appeared with a bountiful supply of button-hole boquets, furnishing each member of the band and their frieuds with one. As music was to be the order of the day. both bands formed in line, marching through all of our principal streets discoursing most excellent music along the whole line of march, halting in front of Beethoven Band's quarters, when they re lieved themselves cf their instruments, all taking different directions, for a stroll through our village. About o o'clock they were sum moned together by the beating of the drum, formed into line and marched to the Burnett House to partake of a banquet provided for them by a number of our citizens. After disposing of the good things that there await ed them, an hour or two was devoted to visi ting friends and forming new acquaintances which seemed to be indulged in with much satisfaction by our visitors from over the riv er. Several pieces were played, by both bands combined, in a masterly manner aud elicited the warmest praise from their nu merous admireis. At 5 p. m. our visiting friends were escor ted to the depot by Beethoven Band aud a committee of citizens, where they took their departure, no doubt carrying with them the tno-t pleasant recollections of their visit to Stroudsburg. The Washington Baud is composed of a clever set of fellows, all gentlemen, conduct ing themselves as such while here, aud should they visit us again we bespeak for them a cordial reception. . iil Zl SiLOKIOL'S FOURTH. Last Monday evening a large and enthusi astic meeting was held in the Court House, for the purpose of making arrangements to celebrate the approaching 4th of July, the Centennial cf our National existence. The meeting was called to order by lr. Jackson Lantz, who was chosen President, with A. (). Grecnwald as Vice Presideut aud Benj. F. Butts, Secretary. After stating the oljeet of the meeting, on motion the President appointed the fol lowing named gentlemen as a committee of arrangements : Frank Hess, John G. Keller, Capt. Bennett, A. C. Jansen, Silas Angle, II. W. Marsh, S. D. Robeson, N. II. Sinfer, Peter Born and Capt. Coombs. v On motion Joseph. Matlack was appointed Treasurer; N. Ruster, Lin ford Marsh and J. S. Williams a committee to solicit funds. i On motion of C. S. Detrk-k, a resolution was offered, "that the committee of arrange ments extend a special invitation to the various townships ia the county to take an active part in the exercises of the day, br each township sending a delegation to join in the procession and thus assist us in mak ing the celebration of this 4th the large.-t ever held in Monroe count'. On motion of D. S. Lee a vote cf thanks was tendered the Stroudsburg Cornet Band for the excellent music furnished before and during the meeting. On motion the meeting adjourned to meet again next Monday evening at the Court House, when it is hoped that a general turn out from all parts of the county will be present to complete the arrangements for a grand jubilee on our Centennial 4th. Wo would not have this a celebration got ten up solely by, and in the interest of, our landlords and saloon keepers. Far from it. We would have a celebration gotten up by our whole people regardless of polities, sect or even caste in which every man would put his shoulder to the wheel, and his hands in his pocket if need be, to make it a success beyond compare. We would have this be cause we look upon it as a religious duty of every citizen of these United States to do every thing in his power to keep alive the spirit of patriotism among us; and what is so well calculated to do this as a proper ob servance of our nations holidays, and especial ly the anniversary- of the declaration of American Independence. Yv'c know a spirit has seized upon the boys of a few years ago, which has wholly stripped them of their juvenility, and now, in ideas and movement at least, mad 2 them to assume the man ner of Patriarchs, and is rapidly leading them into the realm of fossilism ; but there is no reason why they should not, and evey reason why they should shake off this for this year at least, and be boys again until they have done full honors to the hundredth anniversay of the day on which the deeds of the noble fifty-six signers of the immortal declaration shook the world from its circum ference to its center. There is no reason why we should not in wisdom, and the fear of God do this thing, and go to work at once to prepare for it. . The commencement appointments cf Lafayette College have been made. Mr. J. T. Fuller, of Wilkosbarre, will be the valedictorian, and W. C. Stuil, of Mil ford, N. J., the Salutatorian, A. P. Berlin, of Slatington, will deliver the mathematical oration, anu S. B.

It consists of twelve members ; two members of the U. S. Senate, appointed by the Presi dent of the Senate ; three members of the U. S. House of Representatives appointed the Speaker of the House ; and seven citi zens appointed at large by the President. The board this year consists of the follow ing distinguished gentlemen : Gen. Charles Devens, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts ; Gen. R. 1'. Ham mond, of California ; Gen. A. S. Williams, of Michigan ; Hon. W. A. Wheeler, N. Y.; Hon. II. R. Harris, Ga.; Hon. John 1. Patterson, S. C; Theodore Randolph, N. J.; Prof. J. W. Stirling", Vice President of the University of Wisconsin ; Prof. H. C. Cameron, of Princeton College, N. J., Prof. M. II. Buck ham, President of the Univer sity of Vermont ; Rev. A. N. Ogdcn, of Louisiana; and Rev. Dr. G. D. Carrow, of Pennsylvania. The board organized by the selection of Judue Devens as chairman, and President Backhaul as Secretary. The examination of the cadets com menced June 1st, at 0 a. in., the examina tion being conducted by the Academic board, in the presence of the board of visi tors. The graduating class numbers 4S, which is not quite iifty per cent of the uumber admitted four years ago ; and this being an unusually large proportion the general average vi' graduates being about 33 in a hundred. The teaching here is ev idently very thorough ; and, as only the very strong, or the moderately strong, and very diligent, ever reach graduation, it may be inferred that the examinations, during the course, and at the end of it, are very thorough ; and the standard of proficiency thus obtained is such that it ought to be very satisfactory to the eountr. The standard of attainment is so exacting, and the discipline so minute, severe, and inflexi ble ; that a lad must have no small amount cf genuine stufT in him to wiu the crown of graduation. The location of the Academy, as to eli mate, surroundings, and all needed facilities, may be said to be perfect. Some changes are shortly to take place in the administra tion of the Institution. Lieutenant Col. Thomas H. Rugcr, who has been Superin tendent for the past five years, and whose administration has brought the discipline of the school up to the highest possible point of completeness, is to be succeeded by Major General John M. Sehofield, one of' the broade-t minded men, and one of the ablest soldiers the country, has pro duced. This, I believe, is the first instance in which an olii-.-er of so high a rank has been placed in charge of tho Academy. General Sehofiei.i's superior ml. id and largo experience in military command, v. iil doubt less exert a fine influence upon the lads that are being prepared here lbr the de fense of the common country. The cadet who is to take the highest, honor of the graduating class is from Tennessee. Rank, in graduation, depends almost exclusively upon proficiency m mathematics, and the observence of the disciplinary regulations. Hence the rank m graduation is no rule by which to determine the soldierly qualities of a graduate. Some of the very best scholars have the least adaptation to military file, aud the least facility in performing the duties of military command. One of the cadets, who has a decided fame for being unambitious and lazy, as a student, and of careless and unmedthodical ways is all the time bringing himself in contact with the fine points of discipline, is confessedly one o the best, if not the very best soldier, in ihe corps, lnat ledow, m case of actual war, win be likely to get himself killed very soon, or, failing in that, will make u very decided impression upon the country.

A special agent of the Post Onicc Department has been in vestigating the ail'airs of the Haverhill, Mass., post office for some days past, lie reports that Postmaster David Boynton is an embezzler to the amount of 370U0. He was arrested to-day, and held iu the sum of $1000 Ibr examination on Saturday. James 1. Kane, treasurer of tho Fourth school district of Scranton, has been arrest ed as a defaulter, having failed to account for $5,000 of the school funds. Ho was held in heavy bail, and failing to secure it was committed.
