Uarriabuyy Tt(mJ 1 - y I i. The impression prevails quite generally, that public defalcations are rauidlv on the i increase in our country.: With the Dole waro Couuty Jlfmb!icmi we dissent from I. this opinion. Formerly defalcations were t covered up, and ilia not see tne light, and therefore but little was said about them. While tho Democratic party was in power, bo many of its members were engaged in peculations, that but few of them were ex posed. D.uriug Mr. Buchanan's adminis- j tration, when dishonesty culminated, it was scarcely considered an offence to steal J from the public crib, aud defaulters were j numerous in almost every branch of the j Government ; and when Mr. Lincoln came j into office, the treasury had been depleted I of nearly its last dollar. From the day thnt Lincoln took the helm, honestv was recognized in the conduct of public affairs. While the war continued, there was much cheating by governmhut contractors, but defaulters were comparatively rare in the public service. During Johnson's term, the appropriation of the government moneys became common, aud debauchery prevailed everywhere. - Ou Grant's accession he determined that none but honest men should hold positions uuder him, and ha announced his intention to "light it out on that line." If the de relictions of thoso who have the dispensing of the public fuuds seems lo be on tho iu crease, it is because an energetic Govern ment drags their doings into light aud we see them. The Republican party does not seek to cover the acta of unfaithful servants aud this is our hope, or sign oi real ad vancement. Exposure corrects error and prevents crimei Meet punishment for of teuders is our next step in reform. . Our courts must deal with that class of offend er as with anyothetvand as soon as a plunderer is properly punished, others will le deterred from committing a like wrong. The present administration will be honored for its fearless exposure, and correction of wrong doing ; and bhould the work now begun be carried on, our public affairs will be conducted on the general principles of common.lwuiesly, and our country be as iiold for tho uprightness and integrity of its officers, as il is now for its .enterprise and power.

At noon the seats and lobbies were crowded to repletion, and thoiisauds outsido were crowding the ap proaches and seeking In vain for admission. Fully 8,000 people were in tho hall. Tlie enthusiasm' was unbounded. At precisely uoon, Col. W. M.

The con vention, he felt assured, would not taise preference, and act solely on convictions of duty and the promptings of principle. Great applause. He concluded by Intro ducing Stanley Matthews as temporary chairman. Mr. Matthews said he believed the as sembly would mnrk an era is the political historv of the cottntrv.

As Republicans we cannot continue in the party that festers we want Just nnd hrnest men. The speaker here referred to the work of the convention.

Particulars of the late earthquake in Syria, which caued such a terrible loss of life, are uow coming to hand. It appears that the .fatalities were not the greatest in the city of Anlioch. as the first dispatches intimated, but they were heavier in the country iu the vicinity of that city.. A letter from Antioch, under date of April 4, says that, the American Protestaut Church was esverely injured, and that four of the American community were killed. All tbe members of the fami lies of the missionaries are safe. The number of persons killed Iu tho city of Antioch is less than three hundred, but it is known that sixteen hundred people living iu the srrrouuding towns and -country, where the shock were as severe if not greater than in the city, were killed, and Ibis number may be increased. The distress of the people will bo only temporary, as the crop prospects are good. The supply of provisions on hand is mode rate. - The correspondents of the Loudon papers praise the Rev.

DtAR WitTBRT: Tho Dolly Varden or to-tailed liberal Republican movement has fallen completely under the control of the Democracy, and is simply ft Democratic Convention run by, to Bay the least, very doubtful Republicans. As ft specimen of tho type of gentlemen who will compose this body .' of roformers I would merely poiut to the self-constituted delegates who are expected to represent Northumberland County.'' : futiiwii When it was called, some weeks ago, the country was told that it was to ba, a Re nubllcau "mass convention." which should have nothing to do with nominations for the Presidency or Vice Presidency ; that its sole business would be to consult about the cominir campaign, and, if possible, bring such an Influence to bear on the Philadelphia convention that Grant's re nomluation Would be out of the question. Democrats were notified that tliey were not wanted ; that It concerned them in no war. Now the nrotramme has been chanced. Ausust Bollmont is In Cincln nati, nnd has the wires so arranged that Charles Francis Adams will receive tho nomination for tho Presidency by that mixed convention, leaving tbe old Chap paqua farmer out In the cold. Already the old gentleman is complaining, and in a late number Of the TWoune savs : "lhe men who have tho management of the prelimi naries are not altogether bucIi ns tho cause demands, and without unceasing watcniui - 'on who nnscmblo next week may find other than Teloriu mo wr... them. Three or four States, professing to enjoy superiority by dint or numbers, claim the right to name tho candidates There is ft wide-Bprcad conviction that some of tho wire-pullers of thehe State del cgatious hnvo formed a collusion for the swamping of the preferences of the less nu merously represented States, and the foist ing by acclamation oi candidates repug nant to tho popular voice.'" And again, the same paper says : "The complleallou arisins from the incipient attempt nt 'fixing things' culminated to-uight in something like a quarrel between the adherents of the Illinois leaders. Palmer nnd Trumbull. These are tho things tho mnlinants are breediii2. and between uow and Tuesday look out for direful rumors of war aud dis sensions. Even Iho city papers have given way to the general demoralization. Most of them threaten ceneral failure unless Adams or somebody else is taken as a con cession to the Democrats, or the Radicals, or what not." i The Cincinnati Convention in May can in no wise affect the action of the Philadel ulna reaulnr Republican Convention in .Itine. Seventeen States have held conven lious nnd unanimously indorsed tlie nomi nation of General Grant. In the only two States where elections have lieen held this spring, where the people have had an op portunity to decide upon the issues oclore the country, President Grant has beeu tri umphantly . vindicated. His opponents have been everywhere routed and discom fited. He is to-day the strongest man in the coutitry, uo matter what Mr. Trumbull may say to tho ecntrary, a man who lost hi fair fame by casting his vote to save Andy Johuson 'from impeachment proba blv at the time intended ns a bid for a ! Presidential nomination oy a sorehead con vention. The Republican pnrly again commands General Grant to take the field, ns it com manded him to lend its armies ia the re bellion ; as it commanded him to lead its victorious columns in 1808 this command is but a request of tho people that theii chosen leader will lend them to a victory iu lyi'J. only equalled l.y Ihnt ut Ajipomalox. fJ'l nmbt.ll, fci'iuin, U'ijttvu & Co. Katu been making a terrible fus about the New York Custom Ilou.se frauds, and alter nil the rumbli.ig of le inouulaiu h:;ve scarce ly brought forth a nous?. While these Lilieral Republicans were looking anxiously after the interests of foreign merchants, tho toiling millions were neglected by the want of proper legislation, viz: the abolishment of tho tax ou lea aud collee. As a dilfcr ence in the collection of revenue in the New York Custom House 1 would refer you to the following record from the Treasury De partment : ' "During the List six mouths of Johnsou's administration, that is from October 1. 1808, to April 1, 18011, there was collected at the port of New York a total of S58, U05,233.bl. "During the last six months of Grant, that Is from October 1, 1871, to April 1, there was collected at the sumo port a tolal of $72,102,031.70, making a differ ence of over thirteen millions of dollars in six Diontlt. Of the chairmanships of the Committees of the I louse, Massachusetts has six, Penn sylvania six, Ohio three, Illinois three, Michigan two, Mississippi two, Indiana two, Couuecticut two, Vermont two, New Jersey two. Maine two, New York two, nnd Louisiana two. Of all the - other Slates none have more than one chairman ship. These facts are presented to show the weakness aud folly of the policy pur sued by many of tho Slates iu keeping in lhe National House of Representatives al most an entire new delegation in each suc cessive Congress. Massachusetts, with her ten members, by tho wisdom of her policy in selecting her experienced members, Dawes, Bauks, Butler and Hooper, wields more influence iu the legislation before Congress, than the great State of New York, (wliich has returned nearly all new men from Republican districts, und has but two chairmanships,) aud au influence equal to that of the Keystone State with her twenty-four members. Could stronger ev idence bo presented of tho wisdom of re turning to Congress, for a succession of years, every faithful and efficient represent ative. It is impossible for a new member, for the first term in the House, to accom plish for his constituents, and for tbo gen eral good, what he might with experience, and a thorough acquaintance with parlia mentary rules, be able to do as chairman of nn important committee. Hon. John B. Packer, member from the 14th Con gressional District of your State, was paid the rare compliment of the chairmanship of a committee at the commencemeut of his second term, a position seldom reached without longer service, which may be tak en as a proof of the fact that Mr. Packer is ouo of the rising men iu Congress, as well as in his State, aud if returned to Congress he can attain for his District and his Slate a position, which he has the ability to do, equal. to (he older members from Massa chusetts. :, I hope tlie peoplo of your dis trict will see the importance of these facts, and demand of Mr. Packer his services again in Congress, and prevail upon him to allow his name to be placed - upon the same banner with our great Captain, Pres ident Grant. .
