OF DEAVEIt COUNTY.

' OF SCHCTLKILI, COVNTY.
It is ninusiDg to see tbo wire-pullers of
tba opposition, try to rcconcllo tlio tlisafTec
tion iu their ranks in this county. Every
plan is being adopted to quiet thoso candi
dates who havo been clearly cheated out of
their nominations. It places tho Demo
cracy la a bad situation, and many, wo
havo no doubt, would willingly recall tho
promises mado to tho Irish voters of tho
county, wero they now willing to submit.
But the matter has gouo too far. Tho
leaders of that party havo given promises
from year to year to keep that element with
them, aud occasionally given an office to
provo their sincerity, now tho tactics aro
being changed and that clement has con
cluded they had lived long enough on
promises, aud they take charge of tho offices
iiiid see whether their leaders aro willing
to live on promises for a while. Tiio de
frauded candidates and honest portion of
tho parly aro therefore earnestly appealed
to, to yield for Uft present, or until all would
corp& stent again. But ns somo aro not
willing to adhero to such propositions, wo
find correspondents, claiming to bo located
iu different parts of tho county, pretending
thnt all were satisfied in their locality, and
willing to submit to tho most glaring frauds
ever perpetrated upon any party. Ono of
theso correspondents from a disaffected
district says, "the political horizon seems to
lx cleared of thoso threatening clouds of
discontent, aud in tho lnnguago of a once
noted General, "all is quiet along tho lines"
at present." This is done to get other dis
tricts reconciled, for wo aro informed by tho
most prominent Democrats iu that Bamo
district, that nearly all tho members of tho
Democratic party aro opposed to tho whole
sale frauds by which tho candidates aro
nominated, aud will not submit to bo ruled
by the element in tho coal region. AVo
Btato those facts to show how well Borao of
tho leaders understand shutting tho eyes of
somo of tho ruoro honest portion of their
party, and as it is an old dodge, we have no
doubt that by tho time election comes off
they will have most of them convinced, that
everything is fair aud square, and all for
tho good of tho party.
Fiiom carefully prepared tables of tho
sugar production in Louisiana, says tho
Philadelphia Fms, it appears that tho lar
gest amount manufactured between tho
years 1S23 and 1870 was 459,410 hogsheads
in 1861. Tho amount produced in 1870 was
141,881, being au increaso of C7,791 hogs
heads over tho production for 18GC. This
is very gratifying, hb showing tho restora
tion oi tho industrial resources of tho Slates
that were so completely prostrated by tho
war, and also tho success of free labor.
In 1804 but 6,G08 hogsheads were produced.
Thu increaso has boeu steady sinco, but at
bo tiina so groat as during last year.

PltKSroENT AND VlCB TnESIDENT.
The early movement in opening tho Prcsi
dontial campaign by tho citizens of Mary
lanu, is very significant, and the selection
ot ocn. Grant for President, and Gen.
Cameron for Vice President, is bdyond a
doubt, the best and most popular selection
that could havo been made at this time
Tho movement is proper, and is mado with
exceoding good judgment.
Gen. Grant, it has long been concoedod.
will receive a re-nomination for President.
Ilia administration has been ouo of unex
ampled and almost unexpected success.
Having successfully battled throujih tho
troubles, disordors and difficulties, which
pcrvailcd when inaugurated into office,
and ruled with a steady hand tho general
woilaro ana prosperity of tho country, tho
pcoplo havo gained confidence in him, and
awrovcu His course They havo tried him
and havo not found him wanting in cssen-
llrtl , 1 ! 1 ... ....
imruuuiux us io iirna oi tho govern
ment of this great growi diversified na
tion, and express thcmsclva, willing to
trust mm vttn tno management of our
national affairs for another terra.
In tho naming of Gen. Camcm for ii,ft
Vico Presidency, our sister Slato hu. mai0
a selection that is not only compumenw.w
to Pennsylvania, but is a high tributo to an
acknowledged statesman, who lias but few
compeers. Like Clay, wcustcr ana others
of years past, ho stands at tho head of our
national affairs where ho is constantly con
sulted as to tho best, aud safest plans of
guiding our national government. No
better candidato could bo selected, uor ono
that would bo more popular among tho
pcoplo of tlioso United Slates. His official
record during tho lato troubles in this
couutry, which is still fresh in tho memory
of all, is such that every good and loyal
citizen approves of. Wo do not know
whether Gen. Cameron would accept tho
nomination, but if ho should, wo predict
ho will not only bo a Btrong candidato iu
Pennsylvania, but throughout the Union,
having long been known as a truo and faith
ful representative of tho people, aud their
interests, and manfully defended tho inter
ests of labor, and tho poorer classes.
Since writing tho above Gen. Cameron,
has positively dccliucd being a candidato
for tho Vico Presidency. Tho Harrisburg
Telegraph of Wednesday last, publishes tho
following by authority :
The Vice Pesidkncy and something
Else.
"ISy tho authority of Senator Cameron,
and at his request, wo aro called on to an
nounco his opinion as to candidates in tho
coming Presidential contest ; and to fur
ther assure thoso who value his opinions in
political affairs that tho injudicious agita
tion of tho subject of candidates at this time
forces him to break a silcnco which should
havo continued until tho campaign now in
progress in Pennsylvania had been ended.
IIo is not, and will not bo a candidato for
tho Vico Presidency under auy circum
stances. Nor docs ho attach tho Blightcst
importance to that subject. Dut ou tho
Presidential nominee his convictions aro
matured and stroug.
IIo desires tho renoraination aud re-election
of President Grant for many weighty
reasons, believing him to bo tho very man,
of all men, to bring tho country out of its
financial and political complications. His
management of tho revenues lias been mag
nificent. Tho steady payment of tho na
tional debt has been tlio crowniug achieve
ment not alono of his administration, but
of practical fiuancii'-' tiuitctiura
adjustment of our foreign relations and
partiouUiiy tlio negotiation of tho Treaty
of Washington, gives evidences of the high
est order of statesmanship. Ilia devotion
to tho causo of American labor is sturdy
and sincere. The anxiety ho constantly
shows to iiud tho truo relations between
commcrco and manufactures, and his hon
est desire to forward tho highest interests
of both commend him alike, to the producers
and the exchangers of industrial wealth.
And his iullcxiblc determination to enforce
the laws makes him a perfect oilicer, iu all
respects.
Honest, capable, straightforward, indexi
ble, and brave, ho combines all tho elements
of power through which alono the South
cau bo restored to peace, order and pros
perity. That part ot our country requires
nothing so much at this tiiuo tia a clear
conviction that tho laws of tho laud nro to
bo cither loyally oboyod or mercilessly en
forced. Thoy must learn that the riglit of
u Morilicrn, Eastern or Western man is as
complete in the South ns any where clso ;
and that tho absolute freedom of political
discussion and action in every part of this
country is tlio dearest of all thoso rights
which tho war for tho Union settled. There
can bo no pcaco until the South yields this
point , and under Gritut they will lcaru it
soonest. Ho can neither bo wheedled nor
bullied. Aud for this miaou ho is the best
l'ri'Hidcut for that luibuleut section.
These, reasons, amongst others, control
tho judgment of Senator Cameron, uud he
is so anxious that Grant should bo re-elected
that ho looks with chagrin on auy and
all mailers which shall divert the attention
of tho iieoptu from that subject, Pennsyl
vania will do her duty in thu future as iu
tho past, aud will find her txeoiuin io iu
her devotion to civil liberty, and the Great
l 'it P tain under whom civil liberty la so well
muiuiained.

upon tho placo of Leonidas Simms, fifteen
miles abovo tho villago of Newberry, and
that on Sunday night, tho 18th instant, a
party of men first visited the houso of Mr.
Simms, and called to him to put his head
out of tho window, which ho refused to do.
when, after a short parley, they proceeded
to tho plantatlan houso of our informant,
no, meanwhile, having heard them at tho
houso of Simms, which was only about
twenty yards from where ho (Johusou)
lived.
Johnson states that ho then imagined
that there was trouble, and upon his reach
ing their houso ho had stationed himself
upon a tablo that stood in tho room bo
twecn tho front and back door," and hur
riedly, in his nigliit garments. A simul
taneous assault was made upon both doors,
but they boing heavily barred, it was im
possible to push them in. Finally tho
Earty got an axo and broko down tho door.
Hiring this time Johnson stood upon tho
tablo with a hcavv navv revolver In linml.
but when tho front door camo down ho

then threw a lighted match into tho room,

in tho front door. Johnson states ho n3.V3
quick time out of tho back door, when the

where tho Ku Klux had been shot, and
took to tho woods, where ho stayed until

aud remained until Monday night, when
ho walked thirty-six miles and took tho
cars for Columbia, arriving hero last even

Tho expenses of our lato Slato Senate,
wherein the Democrats had ono majority
were a fino illustration of that Democratic
oconomy of which wo have heard so much.
Tho figures show that its miscellaneous
expenses exceeded thoso of that body for
tho last twenty years. ono item will show
tho character of tho Democratic policy.
A private Secretary, at an oxpeuso of 1200
to tho State, was employed for Mr. Wallace,
tho present Chairman of tho Democratic
Stato Committee. Tho tax payers will
apprccialo such economy!
Says tho St. Louis ltqmbllcan (Demo
cratic :)
Ouo of tho resolutions adopted by tho
Iowa Democratic Stato Convention de
manded tho trial aud punishment of those
who havo stolen tho taxes paid by the peo
ple." So say wo all ; and for a place to begin,
wo would suggest the corporation of the
city of New York. Tho fifty-two mil
lions added to tho debt of that city, dur
ing tho past two years, by tho "Tammany
King," call aloud for tho enforcement of
tho abovo Democratic resolve. By all
means, men and brethren of Iowa, try and
punish these thieves. Hut wo very much
fear that you will have your labor for your
pains.

known that prominent parties have secured

At tho foot of Mount Pisgah you tako a

you havo a view of a large extent of terri

villages of Mauch Chunk aud East Muuch

almost ituugiuu that you could jump down
into them. Ou a clear day Schoolcy's
Mountain, ono hundred miles away, in
New Jersey, is fully iu view. The descent
from tho mountains in these cars is mado
by gravitation, and thu sensation is novel.
We seo it stated that tickets aro for salo

Thu prico for the round trip has decn fixed

It is thus certain cf being speedily extin
