Ocn State Ticket. The State Con
vention put a ticket in the field on Wed
nesday last which will moet the npproval
of the Republicans throughout the State.
For Stnto Treasurer, R. W. Mnckcy of Al
legheny, was nomiualcd, which wns emi
nently in response to tho popular demand.
Mr. Mackcy's nomination, and tho nian-
tier in which it was done, is an honor
which will be worthily worn in tho futnre
by a continued faithful performance of du
ty, such at has mode his administration as
the financial officer of the State a benefit to
the people, and a credit to tho Old Key
stone, The Republican party has no fir
mer adherent than he, and just as faithful
as ' ho has been in the performance
of his official duties, so has he been true to
Lis party obligations. .
Judge Gordon's nomination, while it was
surprising to many, as not much noise was
made in his behalf, is not illogical or un
fair, but is one of those eminently right re
sults which only become fully appreciated
for their value when the facts surrounding
it are all known. He is from a section of
the State not represented on the Supremo
Bench, and yet it is a very important lo
cality, with litigation constantly being ap
pealed to the higher courts, of the utmost
value. The oil regions now furnish some
of tho most important suits argued in the
Supreme Court, involving land titles and
rights to other property which require a
personal knowledge of the Judges who are
to bear such appeals Judge Gordon's no
mination will fill this demand, which, add
ed to the fact that he already has expe
rience on the Bench, and is a lawyer of fine
culture, will make him an acceptable can
didate to the people of his region as well as
to those of the entire State.
With such candidates wo may well be
proud, and with them, as standard bearers,
we have no fear of the result of the contest
before us. . All that is required is that eve
ry llepublican do his duty that he be true
to his principles, and victory will crown the
result.
Sam Randall has issued his call for
the Democratic State Convention, but he
fails to say one word iu behalf of or against
back-pay. There is a vast deal of gas
blown off in Democratic papers about this
back-pay ; but you do i.ot find Democratic
Conventions denouncing it anywhere. Even
the Democratic Convention iu Ohio shirked
it, and had not a word to say against either
back-pay or increased pay. Indeed, it
rather seemed to approve of increased pay,
for in its platform it prescribes, as its reme
dy for the increasing cost of the , govern
ment to the people, not the reduction of
salaries, but the reduction of tho number
of officers. It thinks the number of officers
can be so much reduced as to cut down the
cost of government without cutting down
' salaries. Perhaps it iB philosophical to look
on the matter in that way ; but this gingerly
method of dualiug with so grave a ques
tion as that involved in the back-pay and
increased pay of Congressmen, does uot
strike us either bold or ktatesmaulikc.

The Czar of Russia has sent order to

interpreted 'as involvln h1 purpose to ex

thought that the Russian Emperor desires
to invade or even tlueateu the British dow-
er in India, it is believed that he will gather

THE PERMANENT C IIAIUUAN'S REMARKS.
Uentknutn of the Convention I tbaukyou
tion. During the short time ho has eslab
lished a State policy which has just endear
ed Inni to the people of this Coinmou wealth,
and has amply justified the confidence wo
have placed iu bim.
4. That while earnestly in favor of Con
stitutional Reform, and of such a revision
of our State Constitution as will make it an
effective iustrument in preventing and
uuuishins tho corrupt abuses that have
crept in uuder our prescut system, we do-
maud, emphatically and especially, that
whateverta doue or left uudoue, tho main
purpose for which the Constitutional
Convention was called the absolute pre
vention of special legislation shall be so
placed before tho eoplo ns to secure thuir
se pernio and decisive expression thereon.
5. That tho reduction of the Stale debt
from $41,000,000 to $20,000,000; tho repeal
of all State taxes on real estate ; the estab
lishment of schools for the support of sol
diers' orphans ; tho maintenance of our
excellent and and prosperous system of
common schools; aud the establishment of
the policy of pay iug off our debt at the rate
of 32,000,000 a year ; together with the
generally flourishing condition of our pros
perous old Commonwealth, are evidences
that the Repulicans, during their twelve
years' control iu Puuusylvanio, have faith
fully administered her affairs, and that tho

11. That the practice of loading tho ap

poor government, indeed, which could uot
afford to arrange its details so as to encour

the creation of a remunerative home mark

13. That order and security iu the States

Up to the time that the Express, in which
the narrator of this state ment arrived, left
the scene of the wreck, but five or six

names of those lost could nut be obtained.
Among the saved was a Mr. Wise, of this

states that Captain Wood was the last man
to leave the steamer, and the pilot, Mr.
Boswull, was surrounded by the flames be
fore he left the pilot hex. which was not until
afther he had run the steamer aground.
The tlames spread with such rapidity that
the tiller rones were on fire before the vessel
struck the grouud. All of those lost were, it
is supposed, drowned, having jumped over

discovered abouttwenty minutes before ele

WADE IN NEW IRONS.
The murderer, Wnde, is no longer hand
cuffed. After breaking his last pair,' an
iron collar and chain were ordered, and
handcuffs dispensed with. The collar goes
around the neck and fastens with a lock,
and the chain, seven feet in length, exteuds
from tho collar to a ring in the lloor, giving
the prisoner the privilege of his cell. Yes
terday a visitor to the jail, in passing along
from cell to cell, was startled by a man
leaping from his bed. It was Wade,
and as he struck upon his feet he seized the
chain, dashed it upon tho tloor, and gave a
yell that made the situation rather an un
pleasant oue for a person looking upon the
crimiual for the first time. In conversa
tion, Wado said he had gold enough to
make a longer and heavier chain thau the
one he was dragging around. He is rather
severe upon the Sheriti for thus ironing him,
and thinks that he would be given snore
liberty if he was first-class Republican ;
but he says he isn't Jicuieiian is ins man

chain to handcuffs the latter being too
tiresome, lis bas lined tho inside of his
