I.v the procession at Springfield escorting the delegates to the Repub lican State contention a portrait of Grant was carried, and around it were mottoes inscribed, "Give us Grant in 1SS0," and "Two good terms deserve another." This may be accepted as one of the signs of the times. The Democrats held their Connty Convention in this borough on Tues day of last week, and placed in nom ination General (joiiroin tor Con gress) Fred. Groff, EEq., of Stoystown, for Senator; Jonas McClintock, of Addison, for Commissioner; and Hen ry Lucas, of Jefferson for Auditor. "Why not nominate a full ticket?" asked one obtuse delegate in the con vention. When op rose the manag ing man of the concern, with the re ply. "It is not politic. There is dissatisfaction In the Republican ranks with some of their nominees. The "Nationals" are organizing, and I am xcell aszured if we leave part of the ticket open, the Nationals and volunteer Republicans will fill it up, and combine with us." "or words to 'hat effect," and hence, but part of a ticket was nominated, and the milk in the Democratic cocoa-nut is thus accounted for. A glance at the above nominations will show the ect;rtainment the Na tionals and dissatisfied Republicans are invited to. With a hope of suc cess in the Congressional and Sena torial district?, through the division created by the running of third party candidates, the Democrats approprio- ted both nominations, as they did those of Commissioner and Auditor, whose election is positively assured, thus leaving to their anticipated al lies, as rejected crumbs which they had wiped from their beards, the other nominees for county offices, where a majority of from twelve to in teen nunarea nas to be overcome and success is next to impossible. The votes of three or four hundred Republicans would in all probability send Co Broth to Congress, while they would not give Groff a show for the Senate, and wouldn't reach half way towards securing any of the county offices, and thus the little game of the astnte Congressional candidate is clearly discerned. If he can gain a few knndred voteo by a combination. or a trade, he may "ekin through," but success for any other candidate on the proposed hybrid ticket other than Commissioner and Auditor is simply impossible. Coffroth like Joe Bagstock, is ely, devlish sly, bat this little game is too diaphanous. The treacle on the trap is not thick enough to attract many flies. "Wont job walk Into try psrlorV Said the iqilder to the r, 'It't tba t7 prrttleM park That ever yo did y.' " Tue Telegraph and Mem-mjer, of Macon, G a., in urging the South to press payment for slaves, sars : Those slaves were not cannon anil bay onets and armed Iocs in the late so-called rebellion, and in no aensc "contraband." Tbey were our property, polcmnly and specifically recognized as such, and duly jtrotected and guaranteed by that Consti pation and Union which our adversaries Ikged tbey took up arms to maintain in tact and detend. it 01 cover, they took no wit in that fratricidal struggle, save when lorced to joi the ranks of the invader, -and vase war against their best friend and benefactors. On the banditti princi ple that "might makes right, and to the victor belongs the spoils," only, therefore, can this robbery of an impoverished peo ple be justified. Again : We cannot but .indulge the hope that when we have help ed to extinguish the public debt, and time has healed the gaping wounds ot the great past, when reason and brotherly love shall have fully regained the ascendency over cprcjudicct and hate, even though it shall be the next generation, a liruvc aud hon orable people- of the same blood and line age will see l it that the value of cur iironortv in slaves shall be returned to Ihoee from whom it was wrongfully wres ted. The Southern programme is be ing developed by degrees, and we will have it all in doe time. Among the demands made within tho last few months are those particularizing as to the pensioning of rebel soldiers, and the compensation for slaves. In this connection it is well to remem ber that fifty-five Southern Congress men voted against Conger's propos ed amendment to the Constitution, declaring against the payment of reb el claims. The Democrats of Ohio had a good time at their convention last week, and when the Governor they elected last year came on the plat form they received him with howls and cur6es, declared he was a fraud, cried to put Lim cut, and raised Cain generally. It was a most peaceful and harmonious assemblage ot re formers, and closed its performances by demandcing a repeal of the re sumption Act which goes into effect before the next session of Congress can get down to its work. Unlike their brethren in this county, the Democrats of Cambria where they have a sure thing of it do not propose to snare the offices wi'.h the Nationals. Not mucbee ! So fierce was the scramble for nomi nation in their convention, that as sembled in Ebcnsburg on Monday cf last week, that that aogust body was kept in session from 1 1 o'clock a. m. on Monday until daylight on Tues day morning. The closing perform ance was to instruct for William J. Bacr, Esq, for Congress, notwith standing bis previous announcement that he would not be a candidate. What's up, hey ? la Mr. Baer like the coy maiden who, "vowing ehc never would consent, consented?" A word to the wise, General Somer set and Bedford mar not nominate. Conoeess began its session in Oc tober of last year, eight months ago, time enough to have done something for the good of the country, bat it adjourned to-day, with a record cf having attempted to saddle over three hundred million of dollars of rebel war claims on the Treasury an ef fort, too, to destroy the prosperity of home industry aud a connivance to destroy the efficiency of the army and navy, in all of which the Democ racy were defeated by a Republican majority in the Senate, and a com pact Republican minority in the House. With these lacts 6'nowing the unfitness of the Democratic par ty to rule, we go into the campaign to aid in rescuing Congress and Pennsylvania from the hold which that unwise party has in their af fairs. Harriehurg Telegraph. Ben Butler has begun to "get in his work" on Wayne MacYeagh. Ex-Marthal Titkin, of Loululana, testiDed before the Potter Committee on Wednesday, last, that at a con ference between the "Visiting States men" and members of, the Packard Legislature, relative to the withdraw al of the troops and the recognition of the Nichols Legislature, Mac Yeaghsaid: "If you want to fight you can do it, but on next Tuesday the troops will be withdrawn, and as the courts are in the hands of the Democratp, yon will all be bung up to lamp posts." This strongly corroborates the oft made assertion that the mission ot the MacYeagh committee was to over turn the rightful 1'ackard govern- ment in Louisiana, and place Nichols and the rifle clubs in control, which all the world knows was done. One of the most amusing of journ als for mid-summer reading, is that charmingly innocuous sheet, "The HarrifJjurg Daily Talriot." The captivating innocence and guileless ness with which it disposes of facts, promulgates theories, and ignores gullibility, is as fascinating to a rural politician, as is the coyness and diffi dence of a rnstic maiden to the blase man of the wcrld. Take for instance, the following sweetly ingenuous man ner of disposing of the Congressional problem in this State, at the coming election : "In Pennsvlvania the onlv districts that will be closely contested are the thirteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth and twenty-fifib. Two oftheBe (the thirteenth and eigh teenth) are represented by democrats, Messers. Reilly and Stenger. Tbey are close districts but tbey have both been held by democrats in all vicisei tudes of the party. The seventeenth, represented by Gen. Jacob M. Camp bell, who was elected by about five hundred votes, can be easily recover ed with a good nomination, and so can the twenty -fifth, represented by the statesman of the Kiskiminetas." The facts are, that Reiily carried the thirteenth district by a majority of SI votes, and Stenger the eigh teenth by C9, while Campbell carried this district (the I7th) by 510, and White had a majority of 159 in the twenty-fifth. But these naughty figures and f?ta, are dUcrie.ly ritired from view, and instead thereof, the public is innocently aeeured that the thirteenth and eighteenth districts with their petty majorities, are cer tain to be held by the Democracy, while the seventeenth and twenty fifth "can be easily recovered from the Republicans. Another sample of this artless journalism, we feel assured will be fullv as refreshing lo our readers this sultry weather, as would be a sooth ing decoction ia which ice, mint, and tpiriliu frumenti largely prevail. Speaking of the ontrageous appro priations, amounting to $173,000,000, made by the late Congress, and doubtless having in miud iU oft made declaration, that this Demo cratic reform Cengrcss under the lead of Speaker Randall would re duce the expenditures of the govern ment at least $40,000,WjO per annum, this guiltless journal, very unosten tatiously remarks ; Mbis is not to , be regarded as the ordiaary annual expenditure." "About fourteen millions and a half cover a deficit of the lust fiscal year, and five and a half millions are for the fisheries award. This makes the regular annual appropriation for the eupport of the government fall below I $153,000,000, about twenty millions j less than the average of appropria- tions made by the preceding Jlepnb lican Congresses. "In regard to the appropriations fcr rivers aud harbors, Mr. Atkins re gards the sum of eight millions as covering tho years 1879 and 1S80, as he docs not bolieve that congress at its next session will make another similar appropriation. For this enor mous appropriation both parties in Congress are responsible in about equal degree. The old guard of the Democracy in the House protested against the expenditure, but the money grabbers of both parties were too numerous." What charming naivete ! So art less, so ingenuous, so simple, so can did. The fourteen millions and a half to cover the deficit of last year, no rural politician would assume was made necessary by the reckless re dactions then made, whereby the army and navy were left unpaid for months, and tho Federal Courts were compelled to clof.e; nor would he think of comparing the appropriations of this year with those of last, and accept tho result of base figures, as an excels cf this, over that, of nearly $00,000,000. Perish the thought! That would be reducing beautiful theory to bare reality, stripping the robes of virtue from the form of vice, exhibiting naked deformity to a con fiding and innocent public. Oa the contrary we are candidly informed tbat Mr. Atkins docs not believe that Congress at its next session will be similarly extravagant. Thereupon the country is fully reassured, and rising en masse, blesses Atkins. At kins knows! Atkins is pledged! At kins does not believe! Atkins will control Congress at its next session 1 Blessed be Atkins ! He has brought us hearl's-ease. and set at naught Re publican clamor, about violated pledg es and mad extravagances. Ana then cherish in your memory not the intangible fact, but the charming myth, that "The old guard of the democracy in tho house protested against the expenditure." ProVest is capital! The old guard protest, thev never vote. But we can follow thejraad wag of the Patriot no further, this seething day. Such delightlul simplicity, 'mid the acrimonious storm of politics, is positively bewitching. It so completely throws in the shade all the tricks cf harlequin, with which gaping fellows of the baser sort are wont to ba amused, that it has set cur lungs crowing like chan ticleer. Ad r.xpenalve Party. The Rebellion of 1801 was wholly the work of tho Democratic pBrty. The secession of the Southern States was planned in the party and execu ted by l'euiocrats. The Northern sympathizers with rebellion were all Democrats. Only Democrats rejoic ed in rebel victories, or refused to hoist American flags. But for the hope of aid promised by Northern Democrats, and the confidence thus inspired that tbey would be able to conquer the government and remodel it upon a slavery foundation, the reb els never would have attacked Fort Sumter, and forced the nation upon the defense of its life. They proba bly never would have attempted to secede from the Union if they had not been encouraged bv the North ern Democracy. The war, therefore, was wholly and purely of Democrat ic origin, inspiration and encourage. ment, as was its protraction through vears of blood and waste and horror. The entire cost of the Democracy to the nation in fouryears, from April, lCl, to the close of the war, including national expenses, Stato expenses, losees by mobs, waste of industry, loss of production by death and disabling injuries, saying nothing of the annual loes since from the same causes, but regarding only that during the four years of actual war, was at least $7,000,000,000. It follows tbat the National debt, having been caused by tho Demo cratic war, is directly chargeable to that party. Every dollar of taxes levied and collected from the people since tho war, beyond the necessary ordinary eipenses of the Govern ment, is due to the same cause. The disturbance of industries, the infla tion of currency by a necessary and unavoidable over-issoe of paper mon ey, the consequent inflation and the shrinkage of values in short, all the financial evils or the country, are di rectlr traceable to the same source. We conclude that tho Democratic partv has cost the country far too much already, and ought not to be entrusted with the control of the Government for the pnrpose of com pleting its work of destruction In- dianaMit Journal. The Jfest Coaa-reoa. The king is dead ! Long live tbe king ! Congress has adjourned. Tbe whole country, offended at and in jured by the last Congress as it never was by any of iU predecessors, and taught by the neglect of patent opportunities for improvement, and the improvement of clr sources of evil, bow much depends upon lLo constitution of a body bavin; tba highest and all interests of le nation in its keeping; taught, too, in the same school bow little trust can be reposed in the 6toutest Democratic affirmations, and hoy Jiijle confi dence can be placed in southern promises, now turns to the election of another Congress, to which greater interests will be committed and much weightier responsibilities con fided. This election will be more hotly contested than its predecessors. There is every reason for believing that it may so wPl be won by Republican votes, bo that lis next Congress will be entirely different from its predecessor in composition, m character and in gction. The last House contained two hundred and ninety-three members, exclusive of eight delegates, of whom ) 140 were Uepuluan asd Jo3 Demo crats. Of this number S3 I) emocrats and 12 Republicans were from the south, and the I) emocracy gained eight votes by unseating four Re publicans whose scats were contest ed, and admitting that nomber of their own party. It is only neces sary for the Rpab licans to gain se ven members in order to change the complexion of the House and 'raikke it thoroughly Afaoir own. There are that number of districts which were carried by tho Democrats at the last election by less than 100 majority the Sixth Indiana, where they only bad 14 majority; tho Eighteenth Illinois, where they had but twenty majority; the First New Hampshire, 43 ; the Eighteenth Penn sylvania, C9; the Second Ohio, 75; the Thirteenth Pennsvlvania, 81 ; tbe Fourth Ohio, DC. There aro four others they hold with very little greater strength ; the First Connec ticut, 139; the Ninth Kentucky, 393; the Thirty-second New York! 409 ; and tho Eleventh New York. There are, too, a dozen southern districts that were carried by the Republic ans in 1S74 by 2.000 msjority and more, which may bo regained, and more than that number in Pennsyl vania, New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, including Randall's own district, that may be swept Irom Democratic control by the record the party has made on the tariff and oth er issues, and its general and gross misconduct Against this, but as an incentive to more violent effort, i3 tbe fact that by redistricting Missouri the Democrats have secured the posses sion of four Republican seats there ; and tbat their condition in the South is such that they expect to return 10C members from there a gain of four teen. Tho coming elections have to de cide the continuance in power cf a Democracy that hrsjust'y offended the whole country by all it did and all that it refused or negleetcd to do, and the control cf tbat party, and therefore the control of the country by the South. There are ninety-tAvo Southern Democrats and but sixty- four Northern. The former have di rected the lat er, and both have plot ted and acted against every assaila ble interest cf the nation. Governing the party that has governed the con cerns of the land, negatively or posi tively, during tho last Congress that baa spent time which should have been devoted to industry and business in mousing over contested elections, vainly trying to break down correct returns, seeking to in validate the Presidential election the south has been the government, as well as the power, of the Democ racy, and now contemplates a further tenure of ofliee. e do not appre hend that this contemplation will be realized. We do not believe that the force and fraud which won in the south at the last election will win again ; and we are confident tbat tho record of the last Congress, working against Democracy in the close Northern districts named, as well as in those less equally balanced, will return a Republican triumph this fall. The reasons are too plain, cogent, and widely spread to need expansion. The easy possibilities are named. The necessities of the North are pa tent. Tbe details of this generalization may be elaborated at leisure. The leading facts are that tbe adjourned Congress, led by the South and gov erned by the Democracy, has disap pointed men of all parties and injured all ; that but a few gains aro needed to render the next Republican ; that moro than sufficient gains are easily reckoned in northern districts previ ously carried by very trifling Dem ocratic majorities, and these districts are in States where the tariff legisla tion of the last Congress is alone suffi cient to cause a change, and tbat some Republican gains may be hoped from the south. The record parti san, congressional and national should unite and animate Republi cans, so that tbey will again possess the House and influence lho Execu tive. To this end work should begin early, and be earnestly prosecuted North American. Ka-Ktnm. Smitiivii.i.e, Jane 25 The unus ually quiet village of Smithville was considerably excited and enraged yesterday morning when it became known tbat a mob, for some unknown reason, bad beaten almost to death Charles Kastener, of this place, tbe night before. Tbe facts are about these : At the hour cf midnight, w hen it was thought all were in the midst of beautiful dreams, a curious noise aroused Kastner and bis wife, who were peacefully slumbering. This was followed by a terrible crash against the door, which knocked it from its hinges to the floor. No sooner had this been done than a band of masked men, a dozen or more, entered the room, and demand ed tbat be (Kastner) should follow tbem. His wife called on them for mercy, but they compelled him to go, and when about thirty rods from the house, while two men held him, they becan to beat and whin him till be was nearly dead, when they left him and started in different directions. He staggered to the house, and ever since has been suffering from tbe ef fects. He declares that be recogniz ed three of them by their voices, and will see tbat justice is had.

Glasiiow, Kt., June 22 Another wonderful cave has recently been dis covered near this town. It has al ready been explored for a distance of twenty-three miles in one direction, called the "Long Route," and six teen miles in another direction, call ed the'Short Route." Tho avenues are very wide, and a span of horses can easily be driven through for a distance cf eleven miles. Three ri v. ers, wide and very deep, are encoun tered in the "Long Route." One of them is navigable for fourteen miles, until tbe passages become too nar row lo admit a boat. This forms the third, or river route, which has to be explored in a boat. Tbe cave is wonderful beyond description and far supersedes in grandeur the Mam moth, or any cave ever before dis covered. Several mummified remains have been discovered ia one of the large rooms. Tbey were reposing in stone colhns, rudely constructed, and from their appearance may have beei in this cave for centuries. They pre sent every appearance of Egyptian mommies. Ureat excitement pre vails ovc this very important dis covery. Mr. Edwin Mortimer, of Chestnut street, Louisville, Ky., pur chased three of the mummies, and has them now in his oossession. Ma jor George M. Proctor, of Glasgow Junction, ky., purchased tbe remain der of tbe mummies from the owner of the cave, whose name is Thoma Kelly. He is, or rather was, a few days ago, a very poor man, strog cling to make a payment on farm of twenty -four acres, upon which, ny mcro accident, tbe entrance to tbi wonderful cave was discovered. He realized about $400 from the sale of the mummies, and is now offered $10,000 cash for the cave. The en trance to the cave is within the town limits, and only about two minutes walk from the depot. The newly discovered cave has been named the "Grand Crystal cave," and it is as beautiful as the word implies. Ladders and bridges are being constructed, and J. R Puckett, a capitalist of tbe town, an nounces bis intention of having small steamboat constrncted express ly tor the purpose of navigating its wonderful rivers. Counterfeiters Detected.
