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.

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

Nathaniel!. 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

the treatment he received. He will now

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 response in reply to an iuvitation to

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. Lrown, of May s Land
ing, N. J., the scientific oration. Twenty

U. S. Military Academy.
West Point, N. Y., June 3, 1S7G.
Dear Mu. Editor : The board of visi
tors convened here on the 31st ult. 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.

An Embezzling Poutmaster.
BttSTON, June 1. 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.
Last week Henry Dission & Sons, the
iamous saw inanfacturers of Philadelphia,
gave with the week's wages a silver half
dollar to each of their thousand employees,
to pay their way into the Exhibition. This
is highly honorable to that enterprising
iriu.
This is from the St. Louis Olobe-Demu-
crat: "It is said that George Washington
did not know what fear was. True enough ;
but he never passed along the platfuru ol
a railrood depot v.hile Jeremiah S. Black
was squirting tobacco juice out cf the car
window.
