TlIK COSVENTION AND THE REPUBLI
CAN Nominees. The Republican County
Convention, on Monday last, at this place,
was the largest attended of any ever held
in this county. Every district in the coun
ty was fully represented, and the proceed
ings were of the most harmonious charac
ter. The ballolting for the different candi
dates were close and spirited, yet the best
of feeding was exhibited throughout. The
ticket put in nomination is a good one and
worthy the confidence of every voter, al
though, those who were defeated, were
equally as worthy. We find that the tick
et gives general satisfaction in every part
of the county. The ticket is composed of
unexceptional men, whose characters ate
irreproachable. The candidate for Sheriff,
Maj. J. II. Adams, is a thorough business
man. lie was born And reared in the
Alahanoys, but as he grew to manhood, he
entered upon the business stage without
means, but with a determined will, and is
the architect of his own fortunes, both as
to character and means, lie is now a
resident of the coal regions, where he has
made thousands of warm friends by his
exemplary course as a citizen and neigh
bor, lie will make the, largest , additions
to his vote where he is best known, in
Democratic distr icts. Iu fact we have the
assurance from Democrats that he will get
a large Democratic vote in the coal re
gions, regardless of any lies that the Demo
cratic Ring may circulate, because they
have kuown him for many years, and know
that their confidence will not be betrayed.
Maj. Adams is liberal and has always been
the friend of the pwr, and by his many
noble acts towards those who were in dis
trets and iu need, without asking whether
they were Democrats or Republicans, as
his opponent has done, won the esteem of
all he has come in contact with, which the
vote in his homo will testify on the 2d day
of November next.
Lloyd T. Rohrbach, Esq., who received
the nomination by acclamation for Pro
"thonotary, is well known throughout the
county, and is acknowledged by all parlies
as an officer whose superior is not easily
found. He has tilled the office for one term
witti better satisfaction than any one we
have yet heard of holding that position
previously, aud his re-election is a foregone
conclusion by both parlies.
For Treasurer, II. J Reuu, of Trevor
ton, received the uominatiou after a hard
csnlcsL Mr. Renn is well qualified for the
position. lie is a thorough business man,
honest and incorruptible, and will make an
excelleut and efficient officer. The voters
of Northumberland county could not place
a man better calculated, in that position.
He is far superior to his opponent and
none who know them both will doubt it.
If the jieople desire a good officer they will
choose Mr. Renn. .
Jos. G. Durham and II. E. Malick are
both qualified for the office of County Com
missioner. The iormcr has served a term
to the satisfaction of both parties. The
latter is a man well known throughout the
county as an honest and upright man with
qualifications well suited for that office,
lie is a gentleman of irreproachable char
acter, of excellent judgment, and being a
farmer will carefully watch the interests of
the whole county. The management of
our county affairs could not be placed in
better hands than the nominees named.
The nominees for Auditor, J. E. Muench
aud Samuel McNmch, are selections that
cannot be surpassed. They are both.supe
rior men for that position and it the tax
payers understand their own interests,
they will roll up a large majority.
Uriah Sober, the nominee for Coroner, is
well qualified for the position, and will
make an efficient officer.
JriWE C. L. Pershing, of Schuylkill
county, was nominated for Governor, by
the Democratic State Convention at Erie,
last night, on the eleventh ballot.
A mono the Irish voters of this couuty are
good and true men, who are petted and cajol
ed by the Democrats when they wish to use
them and their voles at the election. Then
they arc everythiaz to them, aud only
then, to do their bidding. But let an Irish
man ask for an important office, and tbey
are thrown aside as "hewers of wood and
drawers of water;1' for instance, McFar
lend and Graham. At the late Democra
tic Convention our Irish friends asked
that their friend Graham, a man in whom
they had entire confidence, should have
the nomination for Sheriff! But, no, that
did not suit the Uing, and the Irish of this
county were insulted by the gift of a place
at the tail end of the ticket, viz : County
Auditor. The gentleman thus hono:ed,( ?)
CapL John McEliece, spurned the offer,
and resented the insult by a declination.
But a few days ago an Irish gentleman
in the coal regiou, having to give a bond in
t!e Internal Revenue Office, asked a
Democratic nomiuee of the late conven
tion, to go on said bond as bail, only as
a matter of form, but the candidate
refused, and our Irish friend had to fall
back on a Republican friend to do
what a Democratic candidate refused.
This, among other things, shows that the
Irish are only important to the Democrats
as far as their votes are coucerued.
Consolation. The Detntmrat cousolcs
its readers by stating that the Commis
sioners of Sdiitylkiircouuly, lately convict
ed and sent to prison for ftauduleut trans
actions, were not all democrats. Tbere
vas one Republican and two Democrats
iu tlie Board. The Democrat admits that
.thene i rogues in both parties, but per
sists, that tlm proportion is only about two
JJemocrats -to out Republican. We always
iliotHtt Ilw propirtion was ten to onr.
TnE Democratic candidate for Sheriff,
Geo. Y. Strine, of this place, now expects
bis neighbors to rally around him, and
with their united force, without regard to
party principles, place him in one of the
most responsible offices iu the county.
Upon what ground he is able to make this
demaud upon his Republican friends we
are at a loss to determine. We canuot con
ceive any reason why he should make claim
to the support of any Republican with
whom he is acquainted, simply on the
ground of friendship. Does he uot now,
and did he not before he was put in nom
iuation by the Democratic party, boast
publicly, that he never voted for a Repub
lican, however near and dear to Lim, out
of principle ; were he his brother, he pub
licly boasted he would not do so. Did he
not stop the Republican paper of his own
town during the war because it denouueed
boldly the rebels of the South and the trai
tors of the Jsorth, and says it was not fit to
enter a democratic household ? Is it for
these reasons that he now claims the sup
port of his Republican friends, or what
other can he have ? He is now running
for office on the record he made for him
self, and by his record he should be judged.
Had he and his party been successful dur
ing the war, we would have no government
to day. Then let Republicans stand firm
to their principles and not allow themselves
to be iufluenced by his claims upon them
through friendship for a neighbor. He
would not render the same assistance to
them, however needy, or great his personal
friendship. Either of the Republican can
didates have equally as many personal
qualities as Mr. Strine, and arc vastly su
perior in other respects. Aside from bis
bitter hatred of Republicanaaa-such and
the Republican cause, ihere" are other
reasons equally as great why Geo. Strine
should not be Sheriff of. this county.
Every business man of intelligence knows
that the Sheriffs office requires more than
ordinary ability. The office is the most
important of any in the county, to rich
and poor alike ; all who have monied trans
actions through the Court are alike inter
ested in having an honest and efficient
person as Sheriff, through whose bands
every thing pertaining to the courts roust
pass ; aud consequently the office should be
filled by a person of education and ability.
Mr. Strine, it is well kuown, has neither,
and is totally unfit in this respect for the
office. He would be obliged to rely al
most entirely upou a Deputy, in the selec
tion of which officer he might be fortunate
enough to procure a good one, and the op
posite might and would be just as likely to
occur. The consequence of the latter
would not only be an injury to Mr. Strine,
but an irreparable one to every one con
nected with the courts. We therefor as
sert that it would be much better for Mr.
Strine himself were he unable to secure an
office he is entirely unfitted to fill. This
thing of placing a man who has no qualig
cations for the position in an important of
fice, simp'.y because he has stuck to the
party and never cut the ticket, or because
be has been a candidate a certain number
of times for the same office and been de
feated, or because he is poor and a good
citizen, is a great mistake, from which
great evils result, causing losses which it
is hard to estimate. Knowing this to be
the case with Mr. Strine, we ak the Re
publicans of the borough and County, not
to do for Mr. Strino what he has boasted
he would not do for them, but do as he
says he has always done ; vote for princi
pie and not for men, and iu doing so, select
an officer who has not only correct prin
ciples but is also competent to till the posi
tion to which be aspires. United, har
monious action and a full turnout at the
polls by the Republicans, will give the Re
publican party a grand victory, and bring
an overwhelming defeat to the Democracy
We therefor charge you, Republicans, to
stand by your principles and remain firm
in your conviclious in support of a good
ca u sc. Mdtoman.
The Democratic State Convention met
at Erie on AVednesdav last, and organized
by electing Hon. Hendrick B. Wright as
permanent President On taking the chair,
Mr. Wright made a radical greenback
speech, and was vociferously applauded.
A committee was appointed to draft reso
lutions, but up to a late hour iu the evening
they could not agree upon a platform ; and
the Convention took a recess until 11 o'clock
Thursday, without transacting any other
business. There has been a hot contest
between Wallace and Randals for suprema
cy. Wallace succeeded in me organiza
tion ; but is supposed will uot be able to
control the Convention. It is evident that
there is a hot time at Erie, aud candidates
are tossed about in every corner. The
contest for Governor appears to be between
Bigler and Noyes, with the chances for
the former as the nomiuee.
Political. The Democrats owing to
the division of the Republican party, have
been successful in California. Erwin is
elected Governor, aud the same party has
a majority in Congress and the Legisla
ture. The Republicans were divided by
the Independent movement, in which Gov.
Booth and the Greeley Liberals thougth
they saw a chance to found a third National
party ; and split again by the Temderance
ticket, that gained two votes outside of the
Republican ranks. There is some compen
sation for the defeat in the fact that it dis
bands the Independent, and will suppress
the Temperance organization, at least for
a time. National politics have not been
affected, and with this lesson the Republi
cans will undoubtedly bury their disputes
and local animosities, and organize in solid
array lor the election next year. North
Carolina will be the Gist state to hold an
election uext year, iu view of which the
recent Republican victory there, is peculiar
ly gratifying. The election iu Maine will
take place to-dey (Friday). Most of the
so-called Liberal Republicans worth hav
ing, are coming again into the Republican
fold among them Ex-Senator Fentou, Ex
Senator Schurz, Gen. J. D. Cox, formerly
of the cabiuet, aud so on.
In the Southwest the business prospects
arc reported as improving daily. lxuis
ville und Memphis patters say that the mer
chants of those cities look forword to a big
trade this fall aud winter, anticipations
which are justiged by the prosperous agri
cultural condition of Kentuckey, Tennes
see, Arkansas, Mississippi and North Ala
bama. The Helena (Ark.) World says
that thousands of people in that State will
be out of debt this fall, who ha vn't been iu a
similar condition of freedom for many
years. In Louisiana the outlook is equally
cheering. Prosperity and plenty seem
everywhere to prevail. And yet we are
constantly told by the Northern Democra
tic press that tlie Republican policy is "ut
terly ruinous to the South !'

Governor Hartranft at Erie.
His Enthusiastic Hcceptum. The Erie
Ditpatch of Saturday says :
Governor Hartranft, accompanied by
General Beaver, D. Stanley Ilassinger and
George T. Smith, arrived here from War
ren last evening.
Mayor Rawle and a large delegation
from the City Councils and Board of Trade
were present at the depot to meet him, but
with them were some thousand citizens
who struggled to get a sight of the Gover
nor, and scattered the committee like
chaff. Carriages were in readiness, and
the Governor and parly were taken to the
Reed House and considerately let alone
until they had eaten supper.
At 8:30 the Mayor, Committees and per
sonal friends waited upon the Governor,
who held a levee and was visited by citi
zens of Erie and by a large number of offi
cers of the 15th and 17th regiments. There
was no speech making, but only a few
words with each who sought the honor of
an introduction, and general interchange
of courtesies, the magnificent parlors of
the Reed House serving admirably for the
purpose. The Cooneautville Zouave band
and the Seventeenth Regiment band oc
casionally culivened the affair with choice
music.
Governor Hartranft looks well never
better than he did last night Many of
those who pressed forward to grasp his
hand were men who aided him in the poli
tical canvass before, and who, since he has
been tried and fulfilled so faithfully his du
ties, were proud and happy to renew their
allegiance with a friendly grasp that is a
bond of earnest work in his behalf in the
pending campaign.
Tim Roman Catholics and this
Elections. The New York Observer be
gins its leading article Ibis week with the
following paragraph :
The evidence is accumulating that the
Roman Catholics, under the leadership of
their priests, are combining to present a
solid phalanx at the polls, in order to elect
candidates to office who will give them
what they demand of the people's money,
and put them iu position to further any
and all of their strictly sectirian ends.
The ultimate end they have in view is to
obtain aud exercise the power they once
had in Italy and Spain and other strictly
Roman Catholic countries. It is already
certain that they are organizing in some
States to secure their objects in the corn
Fall elections.
The Ohio Republican platform says :
"We stand by free education, our public
school system, the taxation of all for its
support and no division of the school fund.,
Fifteen days after this was adopted by the
Republican Convention, the Democratic
Convention met at Columbus, and instead
of coming out squarely and manfully on the
subject, declared that in view of the pro
vision of the Constitution on the subject,
they "denounce the Republican platform
as an insult to the intelligence of the peo
ple." The Archbishop of Cincinnati kept
the Democracy silent in the school issue.

A REIGN OF TEKIIOK MOUTH.
Bloody Work lu .MiKiNippi.
Vk kskurg, Miss., Sept. f.. An extra
edition of the J If raid gives the following
account of the disturbance at Clinton :
The origiu and particulars of the riot at
Clinton on Saturday afternoon have been
variously stated. After hearing all the
statements we think the following about
correct : There is a law prohibiting the
sale of liquor in Clinton. Some young men
from Raymond brought a battle with them,
and while the speaking was going on, Mar
tin Sively aud some of his friends went off
a short distance to take a drink. The col
ored marshal for the occasion approached
them aud forbade the drinking. This or
der was not regarded, and when the mar
shal attempted to take the bottle from
Siveley's hand Siveley struck him over the
head with it. Senator Caldwell, colored,
started to settle the difficulty, and was fol
lowed by some 20 negroes, whom he order
ed back ; but about a hundred more came
rushing on. Some one fired a shot, which
was followed by n geueral firing and a
stampede. Siveley fired all the barrels of
his pistol, and the negroes then demanded
his surrender. He surrendered and gave
up his pistol, after which he was shot and
his brains knocked out He was then rob
bed of his clothing, and a finger was cut off
in order to get his ring. The infuriated
mob found Charles Chilton in his yard and
shot and killed, him in the "presence of his
family. Frank Thomasson, a promising
young lawyer, was shot from his horse a
mile and a half from the scene of the con
flict, and after falling the savages drove
their knives into his body in many places.
John Neal was fatally shot in the left lung
in the town, and Waddy Rice seriously in
the hand. Four negroes were fouud in
the field, and two mortally wounded. Six
additional negroes have been found dead
about Clinton since. The white men of
Clinton organized at once for self-protection
under Col. Harding, and telegrams sent
here for assistance. Fifteen minutes after
the receipt of the first dispatch 150 men
were ready to march, and took a special
train, which reached Clinton at 7 o'clock.
About 10 o'clock more reinforcements
came from Jackson. The roads were pick
eted during the night, but all danger being
apparently over most of the citizens re
turned to their homes at Vicksburg, leav

W. II. Andrews. Captain Andrews re
turned with the men this morning, and re

road, and obstructions were also placed on
the track.

and Hinds counties are in a slate of insur

his official report to Gov. Ames, says that
he yesterday summoned a pos3e to quell
riotous proceedings. On arriving at Clin
ton he found the town quiet, but bands of
white men were marauding in the country
shooting peaceable and innocent colored
citizens within the town limits even. I)e-
tached squads were wandering around

fouud it impossible to protect colored men
against the parties. The blacks are tin
armed and defenceless. The slaughter of
the colored men was fearful, and nobody
knows where it will end should the Gover
nor not interfere. A gentleman from Ray

dred negroes have been killed within three
days. This is merely hearsay, but it is
certain fifteen or twenty have perished
about Clinton. White men beariug arms

There is considerable excitement in Ihis

over $18,000.
The sentence for each was two years'
imprisonment, one thousaud dollars fine

HEAT, DUST AND TEACHES BUSINESS-
COST OF COMING TO NEW YORK CRIME
RALSTON, THE DEAD RANKER I'OLI
THE.
New York, September", 1S75.
HEAT, DUST AND PEACHES.
Fervid heat and intolerable dust mark
the opening of September, and raise many
a longiug sigh as we rend of the frosts and
bracing weather in the Northwest. Water-
carts perambulate the streets all day long,
ice cream is the staple article of diet, and
the baskets of spotted peaches left by the
glut in the market, raise but a fueling of
satiety. The genius who would invent a
way to get rid of peaches here this year
would call forth the thanks of dealers. It
is unfortunate that they can't be sent by
balloon to the desolate West, whose peach
orchards bear uo longer. Tbey would
serve a double purpose--as ballast and
freight while the coolness of the upper
atmosphere would preserve their freshness
in high flavor. Peaches might be sent
overnight from New York to Chicago, and
wharves considerably improved thereby,
Venders hold very fair fruit at ten cents
the half-peck, piled and running over,
while baskets are selling from fifty to sixty
cents. Peach ice cream is the popular
delicacy, with the comforting persuasion
that pure fruit is used for flavoring it
While speakiug of the products of this part
of the country, it may be mentioned that
clams are unusually fine this season, a fact
which rejoices the hearts of politicians
mightly.
BUSINESS.
Were the season as propitious in busi
ness as it is in nature, there would be
nothing left to wish. But the ghastly list
of failure in each morning's papers makes
business men look sick ; aud there is a
clenching of hands and looking out for the
worst that is not healthy in the chill and
fever weather of September. The only jieo
ple who look at all at ease are the bank
rupts. The worst is over with them, and
there remains the fresh start, set off" by the
prospect of hoarding carefully all profits for
years to come, to pay in full the creditors
who compounded for fifty cents on the dol
lar. Every day brings its regular lists of fail
ures. This week the great book firm of
Lee & Shepard, Boston, went under, tak
ing with it their New York house, liabili
ties, 8G00.000, assets not yet known. But
it is to the credit of our business men that
they are doing everything in their power to
raise the fallen firm, and set it on its feet
again. The publishers in New York, who
are the principal creditors, say to them
"Pay what you can aud go on," which
they will do. This is what honesty and
integrity is worth. Lee & Shepard failed
from no fault of their own, and they strug
gled desperately for three years before they
went down. They lost 8225,000, in good
hard-earned money, in the Boston fire, and
the depression in business, and the shrink
age in values, finally brought them to their
knees. The thousands of people who read
Oliver Optic, and the other authors they
have brought out, will be glad to know
that they will probably resume in ten days.
Such men cannot long be kept down.
Friend Pitts, the well-known Broadway
ladies' furnishing goods man, went by the
board Wednesday, and Thursday, Union
Adams, the better-known men's furnisher,
followed suit. These are the best known,
but there are a dozen a day in the City.
But despite this the business men feel a
slight revival of their hjpes. Whether it
will last, remains to be seen, but it is cer
tain that there is an increase in business
for the last week. There are a great many
merchants in the City, and they are buy
ing, though not extensively. They seem
to be "sorting up," father than buying full
stocks, but even that is better than nothing.
The wheels are moving, if they do creak.
But I do not believe that New Yoik will
ever again have the trade it once held.
. IT COSTS TOO MUCH
to come to New York to do business ; and
for a part of their loss of trade the mer
chants may charge the hotels and the para
sites that hang upon them. For instance,
if a couutry merchant comes here, he wants
to and ought, to bring his wife. At any
hotel he would care to stop at, the rate per
day is 84.5089.00 for the two and as he
can't get a waiter to do auyihing decent
for him without a fee, his daily expenses
will mount up to quite 812 icr day. If he
wants to go to a theatre, he is swiudlcd out
of 81.50 for each seat, and as for a hack to
go to the Park, 8J0 and 812 are common
In short, o ten days' stay will use up the
butt-end of 8250, to say nothing of the ex
penses of coming and going. Everybody
digs into him, for they never expect to see
him again.
Of course ihov can't afford it, and of
course they don't. They go to Chicago,
St. Louis, Cincinnali, Toledo, and the other
bisr points in the interior, where 850 will no
farther thau 8150 will here. The hotel and
restaurant keepers don't seem to realize
that the war is over, for they are charging
war-prices for everythig: Tomatoes are
not worth twenty-five cents a bushel in the
markets ; but at a first-class restaurant you
are made to pav fortv cents a plate for
sliced tomatoes, Beef is as cheap as dirt,
but nevertheless a decent steak at a restau
rant costs you from GO cents to 81.75, and
the proprietors never blush. New York
will never get her trade agaiu till all these
things arc reformed.
CRIME.
1 he records ot the week read liko one
long list of horrors. Burglary, murder,
and suicide follow each so rapidly, that it
needs strong nerves to read the dailies with
thejr lists of woe. Since New York abolish
ed the system of Metropolitan Police ap
pointed by a board controlled by the State
Legislature at Albauy, too far off to be in
fluenced by small local interests, and put
its safety into the hands of the low ward
politicians, who control present police ap
pointments, that safety is not much better
than that of ancient Sodom not wishing
to speak harshly of those who have suffer
ed their fate. I mentioned a week ago, this
incident : on a rainy eveuing,not long since,
a gentleman walking down Lexington
Avenue, one of the quietest streets of the
town, was set upon by two roughs, one of
whom snatched bis handsome watch and
chain worth five or six hundred dollars.
The gentleman seized the thief, and was
getting the better of him, when the police
man of the beat came up to the help of the
thieves, and began thumping him over the
head with his club, till he was forced to let
go his hold of the robber, who fled with
his booty. The gentleman made his way
down-town and eutered his club, covered
with blood, his head cut open by the police
man's blows, a pretty picture lor the cen
tre of civilization in the nineteenth cen
tury. When he went to the inspector of
police for redress, he was called on to iden
tify the policeman ; but as on the night of
the assault that worthy had been wrapped
in Havelock and waterproof, it was impos
sible to detect him, and all the comfort the
complainant had was a jeering laugh from
the inspector, aud the brutal answer that
he must have been too drunk that night
to lake care of his own water, and lost it
Occurrences of this nature are becoming
alarmingly frequent. The police assert
that the increase of crime is attributable
to the number of men out of work, but
they lie when they so say. The work done
by foot-pads and burglars shows the work
of skilled meu. The fact is, the police are
in partnership with the thieves. None are
caught The burglars who killed Noe are
still-at large, and no clue has been found
to them : and the same may be said ot
every case that ha3 occurred. The inves
tigation now in progress will, it is to be
hoped, do something toward remedying
this perplexed condition of things. Node
cent man feels safe at night in New York
without his pistol or sword-cane. The only
hope of a better state of things is to have
the present grow worse, till honest citizens
are obliged, in self-defence, to assert them
selves, aud take the rule out of the hands
of the degraded, reckless class who have
got hold of it. If good men are too busy
or too careless to look after public interests.
there are plenty of worse ones who will be
glad to do so.
THE DEATH OF RALSTON.
the San Francisco banker, is not felt East
as it is in the State where he was a leading
power. When the news of tho failure of the
Bank of California and the terrible death
of its President came to the city there was
a flutter, but that was all. Califoruia does
her business direct with Europe and Asia,
without the intervention of New York, and
failures there have but little effect here. A
few houses having branches iu San Fran
cisco were hurt, and the Chinese resideuts
of the city were touched, but nothing seri
ous happened. Had such a failure oc
curred in St Louis or Chicago, it would
have shook things.
POLITICS.
John Morrissey has locked -horns with
Tammany in dead earnest, and there is
going to be a struggle. The prize-tighter
and carabler heads one faction of the De
mocracy in this city, and a much worse.
man heads the other. They hate each
other so cordially that I don't believe it
possible for them to get together at all ;
and if the respectability of the city had
sense enough lo take advantage of the sit
uation, they might capture it and get de-
ceut government once more. Jut tucy
won't do it. They have their goods to
sell, and Saratoga to visit, and primary
meetings arc annoying things to manage ;
and so they will stick to their merchandise
and let the thieves govern them. At least
this is what they always have done, and I
see no indications of a change for the bet
ter. Possibly the condition of tho city
may spur them to action, but 1 rather
think it is not quite bad enough yet. Noth
ing less than a Tweed can make it hot
enough for them. Pietro.
