It appears that the loaders of the Demo
cracy of this county, are still unsatisfied.
Last summer it was decided to abandon
the Crawford county system at their pri
mary e'.eeliou, and to re-adopt the delegate
nysUtii. At the meeting of the Standing
Committee ou Saturday last, there was
cuusideraUj discussion as to how to man
ngu the delegates, when a mailer developed
itself lit Liu thought cf by the honest por
tion of that parly. The Democracy from
the Coal Region were well represented in
the committee, headud by Tat Hester. It
appears that some of the. leaders who arc
nnxints for more oiiiues, protest against
delegates being instructed at the primary
election in the different townships, and de
Biro them to bo seut to the County Conven
tion unbiased by pledges. Some of the
more hcucst of the party discovered the
trick, viz: that the delegates would then
be influenced and the parties placed in
'nomination who arc unable to control the
popular vote. The result was that the
committee adjourned without coming to
any definite conclusion bow to proceed in
the case. It was decided however to call
another meeting of the committee in June,
when they will set n, day for the primary
of the leaders in tho coal region.
Horace Greeley can never nfilliate
with tho Democratic party, unless he is
"false to himself, false to convictions earn
estly mid continually uttered through n
period cf mure than a quarter of a century.
The devoted friend of Henry Clay, he will
surely believe with Mr. Cley, "1 would
rather be right than be President." Will
the Democratic party nominate and en
dorse Mr. Greeley 'i It looks as if they
vwere prepared to acknowledge, that, here
tofore they have been wrong and Greeley
right. Xo Democrat who is not lost to nil
self-respect can do this, nor can a Republi
can support Horace Greeley ; if, to gratify
persor.-.il ambition, and hatred of General
Grant, he is willing to sacrifice his convic
tions, ignore his entire past life, andnccept
the embraces of a pa rty he has written
volumes to defeat.
"We noticed the Hon. C. R. Buckulew ou
our streets on Saturday last. As Mr.
litiektilew is anxious to secure the nomina
tion for Governor, he, no doubt, made the
visit to Sunbury with a view to set the
standing committee right, in his behalf.
As Put Hester and ex-Sheriff Weaver were
a!o in attendance at the meeting of the
D.'iaocratie Standing Committee, it is pre
sumed that the Coal region, will go for
ll'ii.'kalew unanimously.
.This New York Republican State Con
vention assembled ou Wednesday of last
week, at Klinira, aud was culled to order
by A. Lt. Cornell. Hon. Henry R. Pier
b'ti was thoseu temporary chairman, and,
ii io remarks ij urn i.ouveuuon, gave a
history of the republican party and its great
achievements. At the nwution ofthe name
of i'lesideut Grant the Convention became
very enthusiastic, the anplaiue lastm" sev
eral minutes. A committee on resolutions
was 'appointed, with Judge Picrrupout at
its head, who introduced resolutions,
adopted unanimously, embodying the fol
lowing among other principles : Protection
to American citizens and industry ; tho
public debt to be paid in coin ; no oppres
sive taxation, ; restoration of harmony in
the reconstructed Slates; preservation of
peace, with honor to tho United States,
with foreign nations ; respect to those who
saved the country, and Inviting those who
have been alienated from the parly to re
unite with it. '1 he delegates were . leett-d
mid will euppoit President Grant. The
Convection wus large and cuthusustlc.
Tub telegraph on Saturday of Int week
reports that forest tires continuo to r.igo lu
the mountains of L'Ist. r county, X. V

The people of Pennsylvania (says tho
Miner's Journal) aro but slightly nffectcd
by tho persistent hostility manifested by n
comparatively few disaffected men and
jotirunls against the Republican Slato tick
et, l ins Is to because toe people law to see
any ground for this hostility. If something
tangible could be adduced against tho mor
al worth or capacity ofany of tho candidates
upon tho Slato ticket if some principle
wero advocated it would bo different.
But such is not the case. The ticket is gen
erally recognized ns a slrouir one. Tho
candidates, if elected, will carry out the
policy which has marked the present Re
publican Statu Administration reduction
of the Slate debt, lessening of taxation, find
crushing of riugs formed to plunder the
Slate Treasury. The platform upon which
they stand pledges them to a continuation
of this work, which the people require.
Those in this State who oppose the Stnto
ticket, while professing to advocate tho re
election of President Grant, say that that
ticket can bo defeated in October, and yet
t he State be carried for Grant in Xoveniber.
We observo that this idea is still promul
gated, as if such results were possible.
Those who assert it ate either ignorant of
the political history of Pennsylvania, or
they deliberately iusult the iutelligonco of
its citizens, lt is well known that invaria
bly as this State goes at ihe Stale election
in-October, bo it gnc to tho Presidential
election in the following Xoveniber. The
party defeated nt the first electiou becomes
disheartened aud indifferent, and permits
the second to go pretty much by default.
Such would inevitably be the" result the
coining Full in case General Hartranft
should bo defeated at the October election.
The State would, in Xoveniber, cast its
electorial vote against Gen. Grant, not be
cause a majority of tho people are not fa
vorable to him, but dimply because it is a
remarkable fact that the party defeated in
October cannot be brought uu a solid mass
to the polls iu November. Under this stale
of facts ivc contend, and reasonably, that
each professing Republican iournaf which
continues its opposition to the election of
Oencral liariranlt, n un uo just nor rea
sonable ground upon which to base its lms
liiity.is practically working against ihe rc
eleclioii of President Grant, lu this light
its course will bo classed among the ene
mies of Republican principles. Should
such a paper lose its circulation ns some
have already and cous Mnteutly, its stand
ing and intluence, who would say that such
a file is undeserved 'i
This is Ihe only outward feature of the
present campaign in Pennsylvania. The
course of prominent men like Schurz and
Trumbull, and of journals like the Xew
York Tribunf, outside of the State, in op
posing on selfish nnd personal grounds, the
administration of President Graut, and his
re-election to the Presidency, has hardly
created a ripple of excitement on the cur
rent ot popular sentiment in Pennsylvania.
We know very little, hardly any, dissatis
faction in this section of Pennsylvania, nnd
such is the case generally throughout the
State.
It is true that Pennsylvania was ref re
sented in the Cincinnati convention, but
what prominent and influential Republi
cans of the State were present ns delegates?
The general character in these respects of
the delegation may be judged from its lead
er, A. K. M'Clure, who promised tho
Grant men of his district when he ran for
Senator, that he would not opposa General
Grant, and who haviug proved false to his
pledges, besides acting with tho Democracy
in the Senate at the close of the Legislature,
is repudiated by the Republicans of his
district. The majority of the people of
this State are firm in their Republican faith,
and we believe that notwithstanding the
anomalous course of a few papers and
would be leaders, that they will elect the
Slate ticket in October, the prelude to a
glorious victory in Xoveniber.

its Reformatory Pretensions.
Judfjc Rinniay M.uticws, of Cincinnati,
in the course of his speech, ou assuming
his duty as temporary chairman of the late
sn-called Liberal Republican convention,
held iu that city, made tho following state
ment :
"And so, gentleman, in every depart
ment of tho Government the slow poison of
corruption only not sutlieiently" slow
seems to have pervaded the whole civil and
political administration of the country from
the head to Ihe foot." Applause. 1
A jiersonal friend of Judge Matthews,
connected with one of the Departments iu
Washington, after readiug his speech,
wrote a icucr to tne judge, calling his at
tention to the above statement, and ex
pressing tho hopo that when ho should
come to look calmly at tho statement he
would regret ho ever made it. This brought
from Judge Matthews the following an
swer, which is now made public with his
permission :
Cincinnati, May 0, 1S72.
My Dear Sir : Nothing connected with
the recent disgraced aud disgraceful conven
tion at this place has given me so much
pain, as your note calling my attention to
a statement taken from a speech of mine,
pointed with the iuterpre'.a'ion you evi
dently put upon it.
Allow me in the first place to say that I
was put forward as temporary chairman
of that convention without an hour's no
tice, nnd that consequently what I said
was totally unpremeditated : nnd in the
next phiee thnt the extract you make, and
which if I had intended it to be taken in its
literal seuse! would be justly a matter of
regret that it had been' uttered, does uot
represent the truth of my sentiments.
On the coutrary, I have no reason to be
lieve, nnd never have believed, that person
ally the present Administration wero guil
ty of corrupt conduct or motives, aud I
ought to have expressed myself so ns to
navo avoided any such charge. What I
was striviug to say had referenco to the
genera, corruption of our public political
life, pervading it in every department,
whereby personal and party ends seemed
to be substituted for tho public pood, and
tho latest and best illustration of which I
am free to tay is now to bo found in tho
action of tho very couveutiou in tho pre
sence of which this declaration was made.
I am greatly chagrined nt the whole
matter, my owu participation iu it Includ
ed, and have concluded, perhaps uot sulli
cHully soon, that as a politician and l'resi-dent-maker
I am not a success.
I great"" regret that I have given cause
of otleuco to you aud to many other person
al friends, whose) integrity I may have
seemed to have questioned, but which I
can nssure you was the farthest from my
thought.
I hoe you will be able to regard it as
luougti ii nail never been said.
Very respectfully, your friend.
Stanley Matthews
Tho representative character of the Ciu
ciunati convention is strougly shown ns
we learn tlw sin ugth and sluudiug of the
various delegations. Delaware's six votes
wens cast by George Alfred Towusend, a
uKuiugion new spaper correspondent, and
several other (.talcs, it seems, wow renro-
sented in the same manner, by ncrotis
who had ueither a residence therein, uor

Report of Committee on S.iiarc :
We, your committee en Market Square, re
spectfully icport Hint a committee on the part of
the soldiers of tills placu and county, w ho are
Interesting themselves in the erection of n monu
ment to ihe memory of their dead comrades,
have communicated with ns recpesting the right
to locate said monument iu Market Snuuiv.
I They represent Hint they arc about organizing
committees in uitlercnt parts ot the county to
of tills patriotic undertaking i that thcy-hnve al-
ready between live and si hundred dollars for
the required funds, and that they confidently rely
upon Hie patriotic sentiment or the people of the
county to advance the inonev necessary to erect
raise tne money necessary lor the advancement
a monument upon which the name of every hero
from this county, who, ill the icte struggle, laid I
down ins me mat the nation niiglit live, will be
lti-crlbu'i an I handed down to a grateful posted
We. yrnr committer, fully concurring iu the
laudable undertaking of the soldiers, tnke great
pleasuru lu recommending that as much or tho
square as is necessary for their purpose, be freely
granted. We regard the county seat, and the
centre of the couuty, as the most appropriate
place for such a monument. Here it is lli.it the
people of the county, many of them relatives of
the deceased soldiers, most frequently come ; aud
here they will have the best and most frequent
oppoitunity of gazing upon the inarblo shaft
erected to the memory of our dead defenders.
Aud we are confident that no patliolic cilizcu of
our borough will bo otherwise than pleased to
havo our public square dedicated to such a pur
pose. We therefore recommend that the request
of the soldiers' committee be granted, and that
we appropriate thirty-two fuet square in Maiket
Square at any point on the centre line cast n ud
west, for said purpose, so far as the same is pro
posed to be lenee I, subject to the lights aud ju
risdiction of the borough authorities and public.
Chas. J. Fox, Chairman.
The Committee on Public Square respectfully
report : That ofter having advertised for pro
posals for constructing and furnishing material
Tor fence around Market Square, the following
persons put in bids, viz : J. II. Zimmerman, W.
Lnrich, S. 8. Stroll, nnd Geo. Rohibueh & Son.
The three first mentioned bidders refused to do
the work nnd furnish material at their bids.
That your committee have entered Into a contract
In writing, with Geo. Rohrbaeh it Son, for the
building of said fence, nt tho price or sum or
JI,i;oO. Your committee therefore- nslc that a
resolution bo passed authorizuig and directing
thu Chief Burgess to sign the contract und nllU
the seal of thu b.nough thereto.
Chaiiles J. Fox, Chairman.
On motion of Mr. Dewart, It was, by the bur
gess nnd council of the borough ol Sunbury,
!tAit, That tho roiioit of thu committee ou
Improving Market Bquure, letting the contract
for the fence to Rohrbach & Son, bo ratified by
council. That tho Chief Burgess be directed to
sign am! seal the same with the seal of suid bor
ough. That the town-clerk attest it ono copy
of the contract to bo given to KoUibach A Soo
the other to be Hied among the borough papers,
und thut the committee be further directed to
use nil duo diligence to have the said square
fenced, graded and laid out in walks, Ac., by lbs
1st day of August next. Adopted.
To the Burgess aud Council ol the borough of
Sunbury i The undersigned, your committee
sppoiuled to repoit the facts as to the uuisance
ut Reagan'6 new mill nn I Its remedy, and also
to report on tho opening of a street to Cnkulov. n,
beg luave, respectfully, to report 1 Thut ou Fri
day, May llib, 1472, they assembled on the
ground ut Reagan's new mill, huviug tlmt scut
two messengers to Messrs. Walls, Mason and
Seuseubnch, tha conipluluants, requesting them
to be present to sustaiu their eonipluint. This
they failed to do and your committee weut ou
without them, und dud thut Mr. Leagaj has
erected a log-wuy through thu road 'ii feet wide,
the same ns llid other saw mills liavs along the
rii i.i- . 111.. I. t,.. I ....... I . .. i... i..r. j .i .
i ...... n .... nv miGuui, it lie iuiui men tutf coiu-
milt co, to inufcc Into a complete road, and to put
a railing over the bridge that the timbers sap.
porting this log way, inside the river road, ttand
In a street that ends a few feet below the mill In
a triangular fence corner, and said limbers nre
high enough for any footman to keep under with
enso. As there was no one to represent any es
pecial damage, your committee concluded Hint
the complaint had bceu abandoned, nnd recom
mend tun passage of the resolution nt tho con
clusion of this report. We then proceeded to ex
amine tho opening of n street to Caketowu. Tho
first proposition, to extend the alley thnt passes
the McKwen properly, Is utterly Impracticable,
at It cuts nil the property through which It passes
to a great disadvantage, nnd t lie land necessary
Is bald ut a very high rnto. The second propo
sition, to extend 2nd street, nlso cuts part of tho
land through which It passes very badly, and the
price or which Is held very high. In this case,
Messrs. Hyerly nnd Silvlus olfer tho land needed
through their lots frec,but the other land required,
cutting the lot so badly, and being to high
priced, wo report igainst this project ulso.
This leaves tho third aud lust proposition, tho
extension of centre alley, which wo report in fa
vor of. Mr. Orecnough offers this land along
the eastern end of his lot free. Mr. Clement In
tends to charge for his, wo believe Messrs.
Fryling, Bowen Engel will give their land free.
Messrs. Hyerly nnd Silvlus think they should
have what thy paid Tor the land taken off their
lot, and Mrs. i)onn"l asks at I lie rate of $5,000
per ncro for hers. Tho bridge over tho old canal
can be built cheaper hero than at any other
point, nnd the location neods le.s filling up. Wo
therefore recommend the passage of tho follow
ing : lictoh'td. That the committee bu discharged
from the further consideration of the nuisance nt
Reagan's, nnd they recommend that nn extension
of Centre nllev be the wnv by which to open a
street to Cnkctown, and that they bo discharged
from this subject nlso. Respectfully submitted
Committee continued and to report what the
land can be hnd lor
To tho Burgesses and Council of the borough of
Sunbury t Your committee on streets and alleys,
to whom the petitions for tins opening of a street
to or from Race street to Cuke's Addition, signed
by a great many of the citizens of Sunbury, was
referred, beg leave to respectfully report. That
they would recommend the extension of Sc?ond
street to said addition, nnd that Mr. Hyerly, one
of the owners of the Simpson lot, says he and
Mr. Silvlus will give a sixty feet street through
their lot without charge, if iind street is extend

there ou Tuesday, during the visit of Bar

YOKAIIAMA. May 10. A frightful firo j
occurred in Yeddo, duriug a severe gale, I
destroying habitations covering a . space of
two or three miles. Ihe tire originated IU
one of the Princes palaces, which was oc-
cupied by troops. The llames leaped over
WhitlC blocks ot buildings, and set lire to
places a mile distant from the building in
which ihe lire began.
Au immense amount ef property was
destroyed. Where the wounded und la mo
were unable to escape the officers slashed
right und left with their swords, aud thus
s.tved many persons from the more awful
fate of burning. Thirty thousand persons
are homeless. The government has open
ed the rice warehouses and fed all who ap
plied. The occurrence of this lire has led
the government to permit foreigners to
lease land in Yeddo, tho owners being
compelled to make monthly reports. This
act will cause foreign money to bo invest
ed to improve tho city. A new plan of tho
burnt district, will be made, and wide
streets aud substantial buildings, only, will
be allowed.

A firo occured on Sunday night in
Jayne'8 Dork street building which laid it
iu ruins. The building was a handsome
granite, with a depth of over one hundred
feet, extending back to Carter street. It
was erected iu 1S5:J, ut a cost of $-J00,000,
nnd was put up in the most approved style
of architectural solidity and beauty com
bined, lt comprised a spacious basement
and seven floors. Tho total loss is estimat
ed at nearly a million dollars Tho insur
ance on the building is stated at 75,000.

Thk Great Fires Throughout the

not In tho vicinity, to observe and hear the
suffering and facts in tha destruction of
firoperly by the great fires which have late
y been ravaging the lumbering and moun
tain districts of tho Stato, laying vast tracts
of farming lands waste, and destroying cn
tiro villages, to comprehend the full extent
of tho misery aud damage produced. We
have not hud anything like it in this Slate
for years, and, to some extent, the suffering
resembles that which palsied the people of
tho West a year ago, and made a charnel
houso of Chicago. The borough of Somer
set is our Chicago ns there, comiiarutive
ly, all the horrors of the Chicago calamity
wero repented, and the heart of a thriving
borough literally burned out, leaving, as it
were, only tho blackened ribs of the body
through which to behold the destruction,

culated to arouse our most active sympathy
to relieve the suffering in our own State.
Light is breaking once more on tho ar
bitration of the Alabama clnims. Graut's
consent to a supplemental treaty to rule
out nil claims for consequential damages
on both sides, now anu hercalter, will com'
pel the Uritish government to go on with
arbitration and jmy all that the arbitrators
mail award. This is a point which places
our government high in tho estimation of
all sensible men. M c liave removed all
cause for difliculty or ill feeling on both
sides, which is a triumph for both govern
ments, and will servo as a lasting cxamplo
for all nations negotiating for the peaceful
adjustment of their differences. And so
far from weakening General Graut's hold
on the nation, tho successful settlement of
the Alabama claims will bo one of the
brightest pages in the history of his ad
ministration, and will go far to render his
nomination aud election certain.
