EX-GOVERNOR POLLOCK,
AND
Hon. J. B. Packer,
will mldrtsa the meeting. Seats for Indies reserv
ed. The AwAitu at Geneva. It is rumor
ed tliiit tliu international arbitration at
Geneva have awarded the United States
fifteen millions of dollars for damages com
mitted by the Alabama, Florida and Sho
uaudoali. A Paris despatch states the sum
to bo thirty millions, but probably the
smaller sum is the correct one. They will 1
ullix their official signatures to the decisiou
to day (Saturday) and notify the govern
ments interested in it. i
Maine. The news from Maine will
awaken the echoes everywhere as it Bashes
through the land, and will shiver the tim
bers of the Greeley concern beyoud repair.
The latest accnuuU state that the majority
will not be short of sixteen thousaud Re
publican majority for Governor, and every
Kopublican candidate for Congress elected.
To the Pennsylvania and Indiana Demo
crats and Liberals thisisakucll to summon
them to defeat.
Tin s far we lmve not tiotieed that a De
mocratic county convention where that
party has a majority, has eudorsed G reeley.
It is only in counties w here it is in a min
ority that this is done, lit the hope of beat
ing Graut. It is also a fact that in ma
jority couuttes the Democrats do not share
their "fat" local otllees with the Liberals,
these are facts worth considering by Rc
publicans who are asked to eat boiled crow.
Mil. Bcckalew lias not yet declared
for Greeley. It is believed tl.at such an
avowal would cost him thousands of votes,
so unpopular is the sago among Democrats
in some portions of the State. Yet, never
Ihelcss, Buckalcw is a full Greeley He.
f ci e v. rv
The Repvblicax Convention. Tho
Republican County Convention on Tues
day last nominated what is admitted by
all to be a strong ticket. That llicro was
much good material before the Convention
is shown by the closeness of the ballots.
Somo of the nominations were made after a
close contest. The nominees are well qual
ified for the positions they were nominated;
they a ro men ( well known throughout the
county, and whose characters will bear the
strictest scrutiny for honesty aud probity.
Hon. John B. Packer's nomination for
Congress has long been conceded. Having
received tho unanimous nomination of the
other counties in the district, he now is tho
unanimous choice for a third term a com
pliment highly deserved. His character
aud worth are so well known that comment
at our hands is unnecessary. His election
by a largely increased majority is already
a foregone conclusion.
The selection of Wm. A. Soiiek, Esq.,
for Delegate to the Constitutional Conven
tion is a good one. He is au able - lawyer,
aud if chosen bv tho conferees in this dis
trict, would make a popular candidate and
a useful member.
Oscaii Foist, Esq., of Wutsontown,
who was selected for the Legislature, is a
young lawyer of good standing with indus
trious habits. Ho is well and favorably
known in the upper cud of tho county and
iii Montour county. He is well acquainted
with legislative rules, aud will make a use
ful member of that body.
For SbcrifT,S.H.UoTUEitMEL,Esq.,of Tre
vorton, was uominated. He is a thorough
business mau, correct in all transactions,
and fully competent to conduct tho office
in a manner satisfactory to all parlies. The
office of Sheriff needs considerable over
hauling, and we know of no one better qual
ified to put matters to rights ogain than
Mr. Rothermel. Being of a kind disposi
tion the people need not fear a tyrant, wheu
in trouble. His electiou is a forgone con-1
elusion. i
Forl'rolhouotary, our young friend L. i
T. Kohkbacii, Esq., of Sunbury, was se- !
lected as the nominee. Mr. Hohrbach's j
qualifications and abilities are so superior
that there is no difficulty in deciding be-1
tweeu him and his oppoueut, if the people j
desire a careful and competent person in '
that office. His legal abilities are such that j
there will be no necessity for him to rely j
ou his clerks to transact the business.
Mr. J. G. Durham, of Delaware, the
nominee for Commissioner is n. thorough
business man, a fine scholar aui well suit
ed for that position. We are. pleased to
see that the people are becoming aroused j
aud bring forward good men for that office j
men who nre known to be qualified to '
transact the business of tho county them-
selves. This officer is probably the most j
important to the taxpayers, and it will be ;
to the interest of eveiy voter to have the :
best meu iu the couuty elected.to that office. !
It is admitted by all parties that the office I
needs a radical change. A look at the hea
vy expenditures should convince every one
that iLere is something behind the screen.
Let us elect men who will be able to inves
tigate the matter, and give the tax-paycis
an insight 'Hf what has transpired for the '
last ten years past. For our part we are j
opposed to leaving somo forty thousand j
dollars in the hands of collectors and have j
a tax levied of some fifty thousand dollars j
annually to defray the couuty expenses, j
By the election of Mr. Durham we can
have hopes of having this matter remedied.
For Coroner, Frederick IIeek, of
Coal twp., received the unanimous nomina
tion. He is a highly respected citizen and
will make a most efficient officer.
Jacob F. M tench, of Shamoklu town
ship for Auditor is au excellent selection.'
There is no more "important office iu the
county than that of iho Auditor, aud the
convention did well iu selecting so intelli
gent aud upright a man as Mr. Muench.
The Straight-outs. We give the
resolutions of the Convention of tho
Straight-out Democracy in another place.
Tho convention has developed plainly the
fact that there are hundreds of DtMUocra ts
in the country, who are utterly and unal
terably opposed to giving up their princi
ples. They refine to sacrifice everything
they have struggled so long to sustain, and
all they hope in the future is that their life
long cucmy aud abuser, Horace Greeley,
may not be elected President. There are
numbers of such men iu Northumberland
county, men who have voted aud vorkcd
for the Democratic party because they
honestly believed iu its principles. They
wanted no offices and want none now.
These men either refuse to vote or will
support Graut. Tho convention at Louis
ville will strengthen these Democrats in
Northumberland county, for it shows them
they have friend In other parts of tho
country. Willi 'no honest Democrats in
his party, and the "liberal" ring composed
entirely of "soreheads," Mr. Greeley must
begin to think ho is iu queer company.
Judging from tho late elections, however,
the crowd is not veiy large.
Greeley and the Democracy. It Is
only a year or two since that Mr, Greeley's
paper, the.N. . lrtbune, declared "that
although every Democrat was uot a horse
thief, yet every horse-thief was a democrat. "
But since the 'great reformation at Balti
more, when almost, the eutiro Democracy
were sold or miraculously converted to
Grecleyism tho Tribune uses language
less exceptionable wlu -specking of the
converted Itcmocrata. But in regard tJ
the unconverted Straight-out Democrats,
who assembled iu convention in Louisville
last week, the Tribune refers to them us the
most reckless party of villains ever assem
bled outside of the penitentiary, worsecven
thau the horse-thief Democrats, already re
ferred to. How forcibly the action of the
7Vbtne,then and now, illustrates the maxim
that "circumstances alter cases,'.' and
what a commentary ou consistency.

Buckalew lias publicly admitted that
ho conferred with tho Hebel Agents in Can
ada. That ho went to Canada as a Com
mitter) from tho United States Senate.
That Jerry Black was authorized to con
fer with them by special pcrmissiou of our
Government, and lie informed Buckalcw
that he might talk to them. This is Buek
alcw's own version of his interview with
these traitors. He admits that he had no
authority except from Jerry Black, 'Buch
anan's Attorney-General, who gave, ns his
opinion, that he, Buclmnnu, possessed no
power to coerce tho Rebel States. Tho
question naturally arises, win, did liuika
kw, without direct jiermiiwion, desire to h'tre
an interview with these trait'irs V That is
the question. No loyal man would seek
such an interview. lie says it took place
in presence of his wife. Just tho person of
all others that would not expose any trea
sonable conversation that might take place.
Tho following testimony "takeu during
the trial of thu assassins of Abraham Lin
coln, which we find iu the llarrisburg
Teleorai!., shows tho character of tho
persons with whom BuOkalew voluntarily
sought an interview :

The enormity of Buckalew's treason can
only be measured by the atrocious designs
of the rebels he skulked to Canada to see
aud consult, and it would seem that their
crimes are grosser and more fiendish tho
more light we get upon them. Bead this,

Godfrey Joseph Hynms, sworn I am a
native of London, L'nglimd ; about the
middle of December, 1803, i made tho ac
quaintance of Dr. Blackburb. ; he asked me
if I would go South and serve the Confed

Toronto aud go on with my legitimate busi

out to take a pair of boots yt a customer ot

had a letter for me from Dr. Blackburn ; I

proceed to Montreal and thence to Halifax
to meet Dr. Blackburn ; it was dated Ha

arrived at Halifax he sent to the. Farmers'

went to sec him, and he told me some
"goods" were on board the steamer Alphia;
Mr. Hill, the second officer, told me to get
an express wagon and lake it to the Cmiard
wharf; I did so, and there got ciaht trunks
and a valise; I then went to Dr. Blackburn
and told him I got, the goods oil the steam

ropes were the ones for me to take, nnd
nsked me if I would take the volixo into the

answering No, he said "You must have a
preventive against catching it. You must
get some camphor and chew it, and get
some strong cigars, the strongest you can
get, and be sure to wear cloves when hand
ling the things. When 1 arrived iu Wash

Blackburn told me that his object in having

came iu contact with ! All these goods had
been carefully infected in Bermuda with
yellow fever, small pox, and other infectious

BUCKALEW'S FKOVEN ltECOUDl
A PIT CANDIDATE FOIl OOVfiltNOIt !
Since the nomination of Charles It- Buck
alcw at Beading the following charges
have bciii made against him, and proven
from reliable testimony and official papers
which cannot be. impugned.
1. That t'.ic Philadelphia and Beading
Bailroad company bought Buckalew's no
mination over George W. Cass, and that
this purchased control of the Democratic
convention is notorious, and has beeu de
nounced by high Democratic authority.
2. That Buckalcw attempted to destroy
tho usefulness of Ihe bill to securo safety to
the miners, and did defeat a supplement in
tended togive that law immediate force and
complete cllect to savo the lives of the labor
ing men.
4. That in tho Senate of the United
States he never gave a vole never spoke
a word that can be tortured into the ap
pearance ol support of our soldiers, or in
opposition -to the monstrous aud wicked
rebellion waged to destroy our country!
1 nat liuekalcw did goto Canada, and
did seek an interview with rebels engaged
in plots lo cmuaruss his country waged lor

HAKT.
AND II IS COMPLETE VINDICATION
Pending the Evans Investigation, when
Geu. Harlranft was pursuing that defaul
ter with all the means which tho law af
forded, the Evans ring, or certain members
of it, in order to force tho Auditor General
and Stale Treasurro to compromise the
claim of the State against Evans, caused
the publication of two letters one in tho
New York Tribune and tho other iu tho
New York Hun, of the issues of February
28th making specific charges against Gen
eral Hartranft, as follows ;
First That Geu. Hartranft l;ad illegally
used tho moiicy of the Commonwealth in
applying the samo in carrying on various
operations in stock, to tho extent of several
millions of dollars, and to the payment of
his private debts.
Second That Gen. Hartranft had used
tho money of tho Commonwealth iu tho
purchase of State bonds for his own benefit
particularly tho purchase cf tftS'.l.fiOO of
the live per ceut. loan, and $31,050 of the
six percent, loan and the sale of the samo
to the sinking fund at a profit to himself of
2,700.
jfVit'nl That Gen. Hartranft bad cor
ruptly rec ived tho sum of 87,000 from G.
O. Evan'j, tho State Agent.
The r.bove ate the charges then and there
made against Gen Hartranft, aud it will
be seen that they are as specific as words
and figures can make them. Let us sec
hmv they were met. On tho day imme
diately succeeding their publication and at
the request of the oflicur accused, Senator
Harry White -presented to the Senate then
in session, a preamble and resolution, em
bodying these accusations in full, and pro
viding for tho appointment of a committee,
by the Speaker of the Senate, to investigate
the charges said committee to have full
power lo send for persons and papers.
After debate the whole matter was referred
to the Evans Investigation Committee,
which had all the power with which it was
proposed to clothe the special committee.
Charges so direct and delinatc, one would
suppose, would be easily investigated. The
committee, armed with plenary power,
could lay its hand upon any person or thing
necessary to establish tho truth or falsity
of the accusations. There was upon that
committee the distinguished Democratic
Seuator, William A. Wallace, a prospec
tive and possible candidate for Governor,
and the party accused of these offenses was,
in the language of tho writer who prepared
thu slander, "the expectant candidate for
the Governor's chair. Had there been ono
iota of truth iu them even the shadow or
semblance of truth would not Mr. Wal
lace have taken advantage of it 'i Had
there been even ground for suspicion, would
not that fact have been set forth by Mr. j
Wallace ? That alone would have been
sufficient to slain an unsullied reputation,
and would have in some measure tended to
excuse the nssailelits of Gen. Hartranft.
But mark iho resiiH. After careful inquiry,
and an examination of all thu witnesses
whose testimony was likely to throw any
light upon the charges, the committee,
upon evidence elicited under oath, pro
nounced these specific charges wholly un
true. The report is brief, but quite us di
rect nud positive as are the charges. It
was not only signed but written by Seuator
Wallace, ami is in the words following :
"On the 2',lth day of February, 1S72, a
resolution ami preamble in reference to a
communication in the New York Tribune
of the picceding day, were referred to this
committee. In that communication cer
tain resolutions were quoted which reflect
ed on John F. Harlranft, Auditor General,
and Kobcrt W. Mackey, Stale Treasurer,
anil made specific charges against thgm, iu
their official capacity. It was made our
duty lo investigate these charges and ascer-
tain the lacts attending Ino attempted in
troduction of said resolutions and the pub
lication of the r.'.mc. We have ascertained
that the results referred lo in Ihe commu
nication to the Tribune were prepared by
Stratum, counsel for Evans, Evans him
self or Dr. William Payne, one of his bail,
and that they jointly attempted to procure
their introdueiion into and passage by the
the Senate and House of Representatives
Til AT THK FACTS CHARGED IN
THE RESOLUTIONS RECITED IN
THAT COMMUNICATION ARE UN
TRUE, and that in pursuance of this in
quiry we called bef..rc U3 all the witnesses
whuaj testimony seemed likely to throw
any light upon the transactions charged ;
that several communications have appear
ed in the New York Tribune and New
York .Sit ft reflecting upon the officials above
named, and iher persons iu private ca-
aeity; that these have beeu based upon
data furnished by Dr. William Payue. or
some other friend Of O. Evans, anil that
UPON CAREFUL INQUIRY OF WIT
N ESSES UNDER OATH, WE FIND
THAT THE SPECIFIC CHARGES
MADE IN SAID COMMUNICATIONS
ARE NOT TRUE."

This acquittal is as complete as auy ever
rendered by a court of justice. Each count
iu the indictment was carefully passed upon
and a square verdict of uot quilty eudors
ed thereon.
First. It in not true that Gen. Hartranft
ever illegally used a dollar of tho public
funds.
Second. It is nut true that General
Harlranft purchased aud sold Slate bonds
for his own benefit and emolument.
Third. ( is not true that Geu. llart

this. They not only return a verdict of

but they find that tho prosccutiou was
malicious that is was instituted by ono of
three persons; either Evans himself, his
counsel, or his bail ; and that it was based
upon data furnished by some frieud of
Evans, whom Hartranft was briuging to

Asa Packer, a Democratic candidate

, Thk Straight-out Convention.-
This Convention - which met at Louisville
Inst week, was largely attended, aud com
posed of material which gnvo it strength.
Of (104 voles for President, Chas. O'Conor,
of Now York, received 000, and Pendleton
4. For Vico Presldeut, John Quincy
Adams was nominated. lJcforo tho nomi
nation Mr. O'Conor wrote a long letter de
clining It, and at the same time taking
strong ground againsA Greeley. On Thurs
day, a telegram from Mr. Adams, as fol
lows, was read i
Qumcr, Mass., Sept., G,
Colonel Bhiton Duncan, Louisville, :
I will gladly servo as Vico President
with Mr. O'Conor, but will accept nothing
else. Mr. O'Conor must positively stand.
John. Q. Adams.
By a vote of C44 to 30, tho following reso
lution was adopted :
Resolved, That it is the sense of this con
vention that Charles O'Conor, having fully
and heartily approved the objects aud pur
poses of this convention, anil having been
unanimously nominated for President, and
John tiuiney Adams, of Massachusetts,
for Vico President, the delegates of tho
Democratic party here assembled are un
willing tomnko other nominations in their
stead, and that the Democratic party will
givo them, iu any event, their undivided
support.
It is stated that tho committee appointed
to notify Mr. O'Conor of his nomination,
think that they may induce him to recon
sider his determination and accept.
Tho following is tho platform of the
Straight-out Democracy,
Whereas, Frequent recurrences to tho
first principles of eternal vigilance against
abuses, are tho wisest provisions for libertv.
which is tho source ot progress, and fidel
ity to our constitutional system is the only
protection for cither ; therefore I
Jiesolved, That the origiual bnsis of our '
whole political structure is constant in j
every part thereof. The people of each '
Slate voluntarily formed tho Union, and j
each State provided by its written Consti- !
tutiou for everything a State should do
for the protection of life, liberty aud prop
erty within it, aifd each State, jointly with '
otheis, provided a-Todcral Union for for-1
cign and inter-State relations.
Jtcsolecd, That nil governmental powers,
whether State or Federal, are trust powers,
coming from the pcoplo of each State, aud
that they are limited to Iho written letter
of the constitution, nnd the laws passed iu
pursuance of it, which powers must be ex
ercised in tho utmost good faith, the Con
stitution itself providing in what manner
they may be altered and amended.
Jlisolved, That the interests of labor and
capital should not bo permitcd to conllict,
but should be harmonized by judicious legis
1 ition. While such conllict continues, labor,
which is the parent of wealth, is entitled
to paramount c msideratton.
ltesulrtd. That wo proclaim lo tho world
that principle is to be preferred to power ;
that ihe democratic party is held together !
by the cohesion of lime-honored principles, i
which they will never surrender for all the
offices which Presidents can confer. Tho j
pangs of minorities are doubtless excruciat
ing, but we welcome an eternal minority, i
under the banner inscribed with our prin- .
ciples, rather than an almighty anil ever
lasting majority purchased by their abaud-,
oument.
Ucnolved, That having been betrayed at j
Baltimore into a false creed and false lead- :
ership by that convention, we repudiate
both, nnd appeal to the people to approve :
our platform aud to rally to the polls to
support a true platform aud candidates i
who embody it.
Uesolved, That we are opposed to giviug
public lands to corporations and favor their j
disposal In actual settlers only. j
Jicsoleed, That we are in favor of a judi-:
cious tariff for revenue purposes only aud
that we ure unalterably opposed to class
legislatiou and taxation which enriches the
few at the expense of the many, under the
plea of protection.
lu advocating a Tariff for revenue only,
it is simply in accordance with the princi
ples of the Democratic party. In this Ihe
Straight-outs are consistent to tho position
of their party on this question.
Of course ihe straight-out ticket, if Mr.
O'Conor stands, has no chance of being
elected, but with liir.i and Mr. Adams it
will make a strong run, ns they are good
men and there are hundreds of thousands
of Democrats who will uot sacrifice their
principles, aud who wish to preserve a
nucleus for the Democratic party to reor
ganize on. We shouldn't be surprised if
the Straight-out ticket would poll from
700,000 lo 8U0.UO0 votes. Greeley is daily
growing weaker, and it is clearly demon
strated that under uo consideration cau he
be elected..

ChifqMquikke paper.
Wo have cheerfully hunted up a few of
Grant's great speeches. Hero they are :
"I caro uot for promotion, so long as our
army are successful." Grant to Sherman,
Feb. 1802.
"If my course is not satisfactory, remove
me at once. I do not wish in any wny to
impede the success of our arms." Grant
to llaUeck; Feb. 0, 1802.
"No terms, except unconditional and im
mediate surrended cau be accepted. I pro
pose to movo immediately upou your
works." To Gen. liuckner, at Fort Don
aldson, Feb. 10, 1802.
"No theory of my own will ever stand
in tho way of my executing, in good faith,
any order I may roccivo from those in au
thority over me. "-Grioit to Secretary Chase,
May 29, 1802.
"The effusion of blood you proposo stop
ping by this course cau do ended ot auy
timo you may choose, by an unconditional
surrender of tho city and garrison. To
General Pcmborton, ut Vicksbury, July 3,
1803.
"Wo have now ended the sixth day of
very heavy fighting. The result to this
timo is very much in our favor. Our loss
has been heavy as well as thoso of our
enemy. I think tho loss of tho enemy
must be greater. Wo have taken over 5,
000 prisoners in battle, whilst ho has taken
from us but few, except stragglers. 1 pro
pose to light it nut on this line it it takes
all summer." lo Secretary Stanton, from
before Sixittsijlvaniu, Mag 11, '04.
"This is a Republic, w here the will of tho
pcoplo is the law of tho rand." Grant's
letter to President Johnson, August, 1807.
"Human liberty is the only true founda
tion of human government." Grant' slitter
to Hie citizens of Memphis.
"Lot us have peace." Grant's letter May
29, 1808.
'I shall have no policy of myoWn to en
force against the will of the people."
(f')iit'.s Utter May 28, 1808.
Chappaquack papers are respectfully in
vi',ed"to give the public their silent points."

BudKALKW voted to pay our soldiers in
gold in 1SK4. Our expenses then were S2,
500,000 per day. Gold was 2.40. The
nation was staggering from the tremendous
tax upon our people to put down the lie
hellion of the Democratic iarty. No nation
ever made such sacrifices, even in self de
fense. Ours could do no more. If this
vast expenditure would not will the nation
was lost, AND THE HEllELLION WAS Sl'C
( essftl ! No soldier demanded payment
in gold. No patriot dreamt we could raise
any more money to tarry on the war.
Any proposition to increase our expenses
was a direct oid to the Rebellion, and this
whole transaction shows that the proposal
to pay our soldiers in gold was intended
DESTROY THIS NATION, AND AID THE
KEIIELLION 1
l'owel of Kentucky an open rebel
made the motion. It received only the
votes of Senators well known to be tit sym
pathy leilh Treason ! Powel, Saulshury,
Wright, BliKALEW and Garrett Davis
voted for this rebel villainy ! And so wc
clearly see that Mr. Buckalew's record, on
ulti'h lie reliesfjr his diftnse to'i'HK charge
ok treason, furnishes the fullest proof of
his disloyalty. His company in this caso
as in Canada is conclusive against
him ! Only one remained to destroy his
country ! Increasing our (j-oMfx ruined
us! and Buck a lew hastened to
AVAIL HIMSELF OK THE ONLY REMAINING
TRICK TO RUIN HIS COUNTRY !
If Buckalcw had succeeded in -'paying
our soldiers in gold" they did not want.
Grant would have surrendered to Lee, and
Buckalcw would have the reward from re
bels commensurate with the service he had
done them, by increasing our war expenses
to 3,000,111)0 a day ! 1 Taxpayers, what
