Harris, Tucker, and other extremists, and of euch Northern Copperheads as Fernando Wood, Heistci Clymcr, Eaton, of Connecticut, and others of similar political interests. With such a rev-j oiutionary, reactionary element at the J head of National alTuirs, assisted by the corrupt, incompetent and reck less men who control our Southern State governments, what have we to hope for. The general impression among Re publicans seem? to be that some pub lic man not now talked of is just as likely to win the prize of a Republi can Presidential nomination as one of those whose merits havo been eo widely discussed. The Democratic pr.pcrs are all at sea about their can didates, not daring to commit them selves until they are sure they can do so without danger of the discov ery of acts sich as besmirch a man's reputation. Tendleton and his big fee, Hendricks and his water bonds, and Tildcn and hisTerre Haute Rail way and Tammany transactions do not encourage them to express their preferences. It is urged by the friends of other Presidential candidates that because llartranft will probably go into the National Convention, with the dcle- Two rears ago tbe Democratic party of this State set itself up as a "reform party," and partly by this false pr?tense, but mainly through tbe inertness of Republicans, it suc ceeded in securing a majority in tbe lower braucb cf the Legislature. The first session of this "Demo cratic reform House" during the win ter of 1ST5, was a gros3 libel on leg islation, a farce, a mock, a burlesque on decorum, dignity and law, and tbe session of tbe past winter, while more decorous and less disgraceful, has been as inefficient and nnproducti.-e as was the preceding one. A week since tbo PvepuWican Senate bad passed all the bills on the calendar. and was ready for Gnal adjournment, while the House bad done compara tively nothing, and has yet over three hundred bills on its calendar. Appa rently the Democrats of the House are determined to bold on lor yet Cfty days longer, in order to filch five hundred dollars each additional sala ry, thus further depleting the treasury to the tune of fifty or one hundred thou sand dollars, aud meantime it appears that these "R.eformers," according to late startling developments, while neglecting the public business, were quietly filling tbeir pockets by selling their votes. Tbe "great bill" of the session was one relative to the price charged for boomage on lumber at Williamsport, on the Susquehanna, and the struggle between the owners of the boom and the lumbermen has been fierce during tbe entire session, all other business before the House having to yield to the squabble over this bill. A few days since tho bill sates of no other State save bis own i.lcdjed to him, that therefore Pen n- passed the House, lowering the tolls, and now come charges ot onbery, and a committee of investigation. So far, it has been developed that three members of the legislature, all Drhiocrat, were engaged in the ef fort to defeat the bill by corrupt means, and it further appears that tbe members, as yet implicated and tempted, all belong to the same polit ical party. In view of these devel opments it is co longer doubtful that these reformers "assumed the livery of heaven to serve the devil in," and hare not only belied their professions but indelibly disgraced tbe State. sylvania only inteuds to compliment Li in with a ballot or two, and then go for some one else. By a parity of reasoning, Conkling and Hays are ou'y ornamental candidates, being backed by New York and Ohio re flectively, while Blaine cannot count up more votes in all New England, than cither one cf these States can give its candidate. That kind of twaddle not reasoning would soon dispose of tbo field of candidates now entereS for the Cincinnati races. TrtE Congressional appropriation frr gas, water and fuel for the V. S. Custom Honse, Court, and Postoflice bui'd ings, became exhausted last week owing to the pigheadedness of Democratic Congressmen, who, al though notified io time, neglected to provide tho means to pay for these essentials. Secretary Bristow imme cttly ordered these necessaries to be cut off as there was lo longer money to pay for tbem. Consequently the .ofiices in the principal cities were closed, except where the business men came forward end subscribed funds su!cient to meet the demands, and the mails which in the ciu'ts are principally made up and dispirVed at night, were much delayed and dis arranged. Finding that tbe Secre tary was not to be "fooled with," and that the business community were tbe only sufferers, the Demo cratic idiots Lurried up the oppropri atioa and things are again working smooth! r. The twaddle, and gossip, and con jecture, and downright lieing that is circulating through tbe press, relative to tho doings, object and manage ment of tbe late Republican State Convention, the design cf its ilele gates t Cincinnati to merely compli ment Hartranft with a vote or two. and then trade him ofT for the benefit of Senator Cameron and his son, is well answered as follows by that vet eran journalist, Uncle Jake Miller," of the Uniontown Standard: "And how the newspapers of both parties arc lying about the objects and purposes of this Convention, and tho g.at leader who, it is alleged, dictated iu platform and its noraina tion of Gov. Hartranft for our candi date for tbe Presidency ! All is at tributed to Simon Cameron, and be is charged as having in view mere personal considerations, and charg ing him and the convention with the intentioa to trado off Gov. Hartranft. The difference as to "whose ox is after & complimentary vote.in the Na ever betrayed the cause ho supported. We know not how far the lste State Convention was influenced by Mr. Cameron. He was cot at Harrisbarg during its session. But this is appa rent, if its platform is adhered to, nothing but good can come from it. If Governor Hartranft is Mr. Camer-j on s candidate, he never deserved more credit for any act of his life than for his (Hartraufi's) nomination, and the resolve of the Convention instruc ting the delegates to the Cincinnati Convention, la present him cs the choice cf re.nnnylcanla end lo give him, an earnest, constant, fl?:tZ uni ted support, and vpon all fptettionn to he brought before or arizing in the Convntitni to ca.t thcvf'tc of Penn- njhania as a unit as a majority of the delegate rhall direct. If Gov. Hartranft is the choice of Mr. Cameron, it is but another evi dence of his fidelity to Feaosvlvania and iu policy. If it was he who Grst brought Gov. Hartranft into pub lie notice, and twice made him Gov ernor, it is evidence of deep knowl edge of men. Thus, has Governor Hartranft been tried in the furnace in the cabinet and on tbe battle field, ) and tbe more and the longer ho has been investigated and tried, the higher he has rose in public confi dence, and to-day, be stands tor cool, i common sense andpers nal integrity, a head and shoulders above any pub lic man of the day. He is the em bodiment of Tcnnyylvania's policy the friend of protection, and no earth ly consideration could tempt him, while the country is bleediDir at ev ery pore, in consequence of enforced idleness on the people, cud the thumb screw of tbe world'' Sbvlocks de manding tho bloody penalty of the pound of flosh nearest the hearts of tteir victims. We trust, therefore, that no sacrifice shall be made of Governor Hartranft for any mere per sonal or party object, ana Pennsylva nia will adhere to him, at 'east until some other candidate holding his principles, und more likely to give us success, shall he be found. To suffer less than this, would be a sacrifice of his high character by Mr. Cameron, and an abandonment of the interests of his State, and be inconsistent with tbe tenor of his political life. The election in Rhode Island last week resulted in no choice of Gov ernor by tbe people, but in the elec tion of a Legislature five-sixths Re publican, who of course will elect Gov. Lippitt the Republican candi date, and also a Republican U. S. Senator. Last year tho majority against Gov. Lippitt was 0,300 and he was elected by the Legislature. This year the majority against him is about 1400. Tbo Prohibitionists as usual, ran a full ticket, and this prevented Ltppitt's election by tbo people. Full returns from the State ohow tbe vote to be as follows: Lip pitt, Republican, S.357 ; Howard, Prohibition, (5,385; Beach, Demo crat, 3,C02. Last year the Democracy elected Ingersoll Governor of Connecticut by r..t-i maiontv. l.ast week he was re-elected by about 3.500, showing Republican gain of 3,000, and yet tbe Democratic journals are shouting over "Glorious Connecticut." The condition of tbe Democracy must be desperate when they hurrah over their escape from total defeat and tbe loss of half their majority of a year 'since as a "glorious victory." A similar gain between this and tbe next election, will give the State to tbe Republican candidate for President.

Hartranft. He was elected Governor four years ago, after a campaign of extraordinary violence. Tbe animosity with which be was pursued, tbe fierceness of tbe attacks that were made cpon him attracted tbe attention of the whole country, and excited an interest only less than that created by tbe Presidential con test. Never w as a man running for a high office painted in blacker colors than was Hartranft. He was pur sued with literal ferocity. AH tbe opposition papers, and some of the Republican papers as well, were con verted into New York Suns. If half what they said had been true, Hart ranft should bave been in tbe Peni tentiary. Well, Hartranft served one tcrnt as Governor, was nominated for re-elect-tion without opposition, and was duly re-elected. Now come the Re publican Convention of bis State, pointing to bis "rare Executive abili ty and bis unswerving rectitude" with pride, and declaring bim the first choice of tbo Kepublicaus of Penn sylvania for tbe Presidency. And the Philadelphia Times, Alex Mc Clure's paper, which is the New York Sun of Pennsylvania, has a long and extremely eulogistic leader on him, declaring him an able, honest, upright man, and a roan who would make a good President. Very sel dom does it happen to a man to be pursued, as Covernor'Hartranft was, to come out of the conflict with a character bo completely cleared, with integrity acknowledged by his most bitter opponents, and with an un spotted reputation. It shows tbe groee excesses men permit themselves to run into in times of election excite ment, and tbe outrageous calumnies that may be circulated about & man, and for a time gain geut-ral credence. Gov. Hartranft is f be btanily con gratulated by. every good usan, on on bis etnSnt vindication. CVnoin tiati Time. !
