RpabIIcnn County Convention. Ths Republican votors of Northumberland count re respectfully requested to assemble in their re snective election dixtricta throughout the eounty, on SATURDAY, the 27th day of JUNK, 1808, between the hour, of 1 and 9 o'clook, P. M., end e cot the osual number of Dologates from each diBtriot, to represent them in the Cnuoty Convention, to be held in the Court House, in the Borough or Sunbury, on TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 18S8, at Jl o'clock. A. M., for the turpose of nominating a ticket to be pre sented to the voter of Northumberland county, at ,h. ensuing .lection. EM,Lwn vj;iiT Chairaian County Committo. R. M PRICK, Secretary. The Democratic County Convention came off, at tho Court House, in tliis place, on Monday Inst. Tho result is anything but satisfactory. Tho two wings of tho party had their respective candidate, and the un aucceisful branch speak openly of tho frauds practice! upon them, notwithstanding the oath prescribed by the Standing Committee. Mount Carmel, for instance, polled nearly four hundred votes, or about three times as many as that township gave Shartwood. But then it should bo remembered that this township . has always been exceedingly prolific, especially at the primary elections, and, as a Democrat remarked to us, could give, at any primary election, any number of Democratic votes desired, according to order. For Congress, G. W. Zcigler, Esq., received a majority of 27 votes over Mr. Reimensnyder. For District Attorney, Jere miah Snyder was nominated over Wm, Wol verton, Esq., by a majority of 594 votes.- For Commissioner, Martin E. Bucher, of this place, was nominated by a majority of 298 votes over Yordy and Gribbon. For Assembly, W. II. Ka9e, no opposition. For Kurvevor. .1. K. Francis, no opposition. For Auditor, A. J. Gallagher, no opposition. For Coroner, John Linclt, no opposition. In many of tho southern journals there appears to be no change in their rebel sen timents from what they were during the rebellion. Hero is one of a dozen of instances. It is from a Tuscaloosa, (Alabama,) paper, the Iiutcpoulent Monitor, and we rcpriut it for tho benefit of all honest readers, in order that they may see how such a man as Gen eral Grant is spoken of: "It in not stirprif ing that the nomination of tho stupid 'Butcher of the Wilderness' has fallen liko a wet blanket upon the smoky fires of Radical enthusiasm. The attempt to hold ratification meetings in the various cities of the North aro admitted by the Radical papers to havo been signal fail ures. Tho Democrats will carry ull tho Northern States save four, securing their candidate for the Presidency and a majority of tho lower houso of Congress. Then wo will grind to powder the thirty-five im peaching Senators between tho upper and nother millstones of our crushing political preponderance." A Sensible Ki'siolullou. Tho Democrats of the Southern States aro really in advance of the Northern Demo, c ratio leaders in several important respects. For instance, tho Alabama Democratic Stato Convention, which met at Montgomery on Thursday of last week, adopted the follow ing resolution as part of its platform : . "lictohed. That slavery having been pro hibited in the State of Alabama' by a con vention of the people thereof, held in Sep tember. 1865, we hereby again proclaim our faithful adherence to that ordinance, and wc assure the people of the United States that there aro no laws in force in this State, emoted by our authority, which make any distinction in the protection which they give to tho person and property of both races; and we hereby declare our solemn purpose that these laws shall bo faithfully and impartially administered as soon as the miritary aro withdrawn and we ure permit ted to manage our own affairs. " . , . 1'be re are promises made in this resolu tion which scarcely any Northern Demo cratic Convention has yet made, or offered. Dr. fJiuos, Gov. Geary's private Secre tary, who has been giving attention to the subject, states that nineteen out of twenty of the young men of our Stato who become convicts, have no trade or profession. Every voting man should learn a trade, and learn it woll. Entirely too many of our young people are depending on their "wits" and waiting for something to "turn up." A good trade is worth more to a young man than money. 'J be New-York World says : "At a luU; dinner in North-Carolina, there sat down to the table three ex-Governors, an ex Justice rf the Supremo Caurt, two exMornhcrs of Congress, and rome other men of honorable distinction In tbolr State, and the only per ron in the room who could vote or hold off re was the negro who wailed on tho table. Such iii reconstruction." Tho World might have added, to make tho case iuttl 'igihle, that tho negro was the only person in the room who bud not committed treason. He. as a loyal man, wns properly entrusted with the franchise, while others, deserving Heath for their crimes, were lightly punished by being deprived tor a time of the right to vote. ' . . . ').-. . . ' We have already publiahod Mr. Colta Uiicr, tlonyiiirr, tho story that ho-once told a Bol'iior that he had no time "to fool with soldiers."

The troops are itr the highest state of discipline. There was some defection, bnt it bas all been remedied by the prompt nest anil efficiency of a drumhead court martial. The necessity wrung bitter anguish rrura every loyal heart, heaving sighs of ar dent hope and breathing silent but fervent prayers to Almighty God that we should never look upon its like again. We are stronger now than ever more courageous and more determined. We have taken our position, we have posted our pic kets, we have formed our lines, we have protected our flauks, and are supported by millions of militia, with Schuyler Colfax at their head. At your command "Forward!" we will move on the enemy's works. Hero is our plan of battle (presenting the resolu tions) ; "wc will fight it out on this lino if it takes all summer," and send tho enemy "whirling down thuTTillcv." We will charge them in front, storm their breastworks, pierce their centre, flank their strongholds, and tako them in the rear, when we will have repeated the familiar summons from our Commander-in-chief: "I demand an un conditional surrender." Our victorious Gen eral shall then mount the pinnaclo of fame ; twice dignified by aslungton, twice Hon ored by our Lincoln. Wc havo the honor, sir, to submit the plan of battle. To which Gen. Gradt replied in these sig nificant sentences : Gkntlemen of the Committkk op Sol- dirus and Sailors : ! will say that it was never a desire of mine to be a candidate for any political office. It is a source of grati fication to me that I have the support of those who sustained mo through the great rebellion which wo have passed. If I did not feel I had tho support of those, I would never have consented to be a candidate. It was not a matter of choice with me, and I hope, as I have accepted, that I will have your aid and support, from now until No vember, as I had it during the rebellion." tiii: CHOPS. Along the seaboard, end through the East generally, last week was sunshiny and warm, and considerable planting was done. Still, owinir to the many previous rains, much ground was so wet that planting was impos sible, and the attempt was abandoned. Corn and potato fields already planted arc so foul that great work and putieuco aro required, but the farmers are vigorously pushing through. Much troublo bas arisen from tho rotting of the seed of potatoes ; perhaps this was never so extensive and general before. The fruit crop of the New-England States and of New-Jersey is likely to bo better than hist year ; still it is not up to an average, owing to blasting winds, to cold rains aud want of sunlight. On Long Island fruit is reported a failure. Delaware and the Mary land shore will have a short crop. Through the Middle States, cast of the Allcghenies, and down to the North Caiolina line, all kinds of productions, and wheat in particular, arc represented at a full averogc. On tho thin soils of tho Gulf States, aud around to Louisiana, corn and gardens have suffered for want of rain, and nccounts arc gloomy ; but cotton stands drouth better, and it is estimated that there will be half of Biich a crop as was common before tho "unpleasantness." On low lands and fresh fields all vegetation is thriving, though, in places, tho armv aud bud-worm and cater pillar arc committing some ravages. From Tennessae and Arkansas the accounts are favorable, and the wheat already cut is of fine quality, though not extraordinary for quantity. The frecdmcn aro working well, and it is frequently stated that they do not come from tho fields till dark. . Southern Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky report nothing new, aud this in tho South-Weat is often good uews. In the great cornbelt running through Southern lowo and Northern Missoiiri.Centrnl Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, not more than three fourths of the land which the farmers expected to devote to corn could be planted, owing to the wit weather; still, as great an area as common may have beeu put in, for the reason that large fields of raw and "fed- out" prairio have been broken and planted. Last week there were heavy rains in Ohio doing considerable damage, On the whole, tho wheat crop through this region is good we might say better than common. In tho Wabash Valley it is more promising t'lau for fifteen years past. In more north ern sections, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, aud Michigan, the farmer was less delayed by April rains, and as a consequeoco all kinds of grain and farm productions aro in great forward uess and are highly promising. Along the southern border of this region the potato or Colorado bug is in vast numbers, and there are grave apprehensions for tho safety of the potato crop. From no one State do we linvc such encouraging accounts as from Michigan. There are no complaiuts with regard to any crop except corn which is rather backward, while the small grains are reuresceted as better than for ten years. Of potatoes the amount planted is enormous. The farmers seem excited with the expec tation of large protils.and with good reason ; and it is repicsented that if the yield is an avcrago one they will have a surplus suffi cient for many States. Sheep must be mostly hhearcfl, bnt owing to low prices of wool tho business is somewhat depressed. -V. 1'. Tribune, . The Cominci Il.vuvusrs. The New York Tribune, on s review of tho crop reports from all sections, comes to tho conclusion that, as regards the Southern Slates, bhould uo ntcidcut occur, thore will be realized from thesgricultural industry of that section iu 18t8 a mm of money which will go fur towards restoring the prosperity rt( the South, und in bringing the loreigu exchange largely in our favor.

Coitou is also reported as very promising, and a crop " ot 3,100,000 bales is considered reasonably j sure.

A proposition was made to reduce the tax to fifty cents per gallon, but It did not meet with any favor. . t 7 T : 7 " " " s-t - -. The subject.-of laying .a special tax on whisky now in bond was next considered, and after a lonir discussion it was agreed to propose an amendment to the bill levying a special tax of four dollars per barrel on all whisky now in bond. As there is a large amount of whisky held in bond at present, the tax will yield a handsome revenue to the Government. ' Washixotox, June 83. In the new tax bill, reported by tho Committee on Ways and Means, whisky is taxed 60 cents a gal lon. A special tax is also levied of $200 for tho first litty barrels manufactured, which adds 10 cents additional to each gal lon, making the tax in all 70 cents per gal lon. This special tax of $200 was not applied in separate to whisky in bond. Therefore it gave holders of whisky in bond an advan tage ox tea cents per gallon. Tins appears to havo been an oversight on the part 'of the committee, and when attention was called to it to-day, they at once stated the proper amendment wouiu do oiiereu to the bill in the House. Dispatches received from tho West this morning announced that whisky in bond had already advanced nine cents per gallon in anticipation of the passage of the section of the bill, which does not include in it the special tax of two hundred dollars on the first fifty barrels. Washington, Juno 24. Tho Intclligenetr lias another attack on Secretary ai Cuiiocii, tins morning, saying that tho tact is becom Ine perfectly apparent that it is his intcn tion to remain at the bead of tho Treasury Department, in open defiance of the wishes of the President, and that he should tender his resignation. The article says that Mr. M'Culloch intends to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Stanton, and rcmuin in office until the President makes a direct removal. In tho House, on assembling, tho Com mittcc on Elections reported unanimously in favor of the admission of the Arkansas members. Mr. Brooks entered a written protest, signed by all the Democratic members, against theac'.mifsion of tho representatives. The report of the Election Committee was then adopted by a strict party vote, and I the new members appeared at the bar and took the oath of office. Mr. Elliott, chairman of tho Committee on Frcedmcn's Affairs, has prepared a bill pro viding for tho discontinuance of the Freed- men's' Bureau on and after the 1st of Janu ary next, but making Gen.
