Owing to the Bad calamity that
baa just visited the editor of this
paper, the public shouldunderstand
that the chair editoiial bas this week
been occupied by another.
We can ascre our friends of the
other counties of this Congressional
district, that they need not be at all
alarmed about Somerset county.
Tut no faith in the deceptive reports
you may bear about defection in the
Republican ranks here. Somerset
county will roll op an old fashioned
R.eDubIican maiority. She'll pet in
4 -
ber work.
Charles II. Paulson, a Pittsburgh
hatter, bas been nominated for sena
tor from Allegheny county on the Na
tional ticket.
To secure a Republican majority
of the members of the House in
the next Congress, is of the great
est conceivable importance, not
only to the Republican party, but to
the business of the whole country.
This is eminently true, so far as the
interests of Pennsylvania arc con
cerned. Eveiy laboring man in the
State, every farmer, merchant, manu
facturer, in fact every producer must
feel that protection to our home pro
ducts must not be stricken down, if
better times are again to dawn upon
us. We are just emerging from the
faeavy burden of financial prostration
under which the State and Nation
have been laboring for years. The
burden is apparently about to bej
lifted, and prosperity in all the busi
ness relations of the country again
loomscpand gives promise of a bright
futnre. How foolish, then, would it
be, if, now, with the interest on our
debt reduced by millions, with the
great manufacturing establishments
of the land preparing to renew tbeir
business operations, with every hope
that all the industrial interests of the
country will again flourish, the peo
ple would send to Washington a suf
Ccient number of Congressmen to
enable Fernando Wood to repeal the
present tariff laws and enact in their
stead laws that would discriminate
against the labor ot our own country
and in favor of foreign labor.
Ia this district we have a Repub
lican and Democratic candidate.
No otlcr bas yet been named, but
doubtless, the many? named party
Lnown as the "Greenback," National,
Labor and Reform party, will place
a candidate in the field. Either the
Republican or Democratic candidate
most be elected. The other, if there
should be any other, will only be
used by designing and crafty parti
fans to aid their own larorite, or
injure the man they are opposing,
ft is respectfully urged upon the Re
publican voters of Somerset county
that it would be 6uicidal not only to
the interests of the Republican party,
but highly injurious to the whole
country to throw away votes enough
upon a third candidate to enable the
Democratic candidate to slip into a
seat ia Congress through a divisioo
in the majority party of the district.
What will be gained by the election
of General Campbell? A steady
frieid to the Union, aa crient ad
vocate of protection to the laWor of
tbe cocatry, and an uncompromising
foe to every specie of disloyalty.
Elect bis adversary nd you have
tbe opposite. Wilijt not be better
to give aa old time majority to ibe
Republican candidate. Let us all
work to that end and the result will
be as gratifying as U will be beneficial.
Last year the National Labor
Greenback party elected five out of
seven Assemblymen ia Louisville,
Ky. Tbia year tbey didn't elect
any, only polling for tbeir mostpopu
Urcandidate l.iOO voteeoat fo 15,000.
Tried and found wanting.
Thursday, September the 5tb, is
the last day upon which voter? can
get assessed, and Saturday, October
5th, ia the last day upon which tax
can be paid, to secure a Tote at t'ue
easuing election. Persons who voted
on age last year should be particular
to bare tbeir names placed jipnn the
assessment, and pay tbeir tax as
above indicated, otherwise the law
provides no way by which they can
vote.
The sudden conversion of sore-head
Republicans to Greenback fanatics,
which occurred at the Convention
last week, was not a surprise to those
who Lave noted the length to which
the lust for office will lead some men.
Spasmodic conversions, as a rule, ore
to be viewed with suspicion, and the
unholy wise could suggest that a
probationary period might hive
cooled the ardor of some of the new
converts.
It serves the Repnblican party
right, because it is its own fault, that
so many soreheads are in its ranks I
said a grave old friend to u., the oth
er day. Wby so 1 we inquired. Be
cause it didn't give all those fellows
offices! And wc thought we Faw
our old friend's eyes twinkle ta he
added : What's Ibo use of bclongiug
to a pnrly that can't give every man
an office ? Wc immediately began
to appreciate Artemus Ward's propo
sition, to get up a regiment composed
ef Brigadier Generals.
M. D. Conway, m hia London
letter to the Cincinnati Commercial,
says Senator Bruce, on his arrival
in London, will form one of a group
of three of the most important Afri
cans of official position cow living.
The other two are the King of BonDy,
who, with a European education, has
introduced so many reforms into
Africa, and Dr. Edward W. Blyden,
the Liberian Minister, who has per
fect faith in the future of Lis race.
Senator Bruce represents the ad
vance cf the colored man in the
United States.
As neat a bit of shenanigan as wc
ever heard of, occurred in the dimin
utive Labor Greenback Convention
held here last week. It was nip and
tuck between -Shafer and Mowry for
the nomination for Sheriff. Unfor
tunately for Shafer his two delegates
from Somerset township refused to
come, whereupon Howry coolly
"wruog-'n" a couple of friendly out
siders, whom the Convention receive J
as delegates, and by their two rod k
ho was nominated, and Shafer was
thus beaten. For ways that ore
dark, and tricks that are vaio, tie
Greenback concern is peculiar.
Senator Thurman, the prospec
tive candidate of the Democrats for
President in ISSO.Jcpened the cam
paign in Ohio, at Hamilton, yester
day. Thurman goes over body and
breeches, to the limited greenback
idea, and the funny thicgabout it is
that he demonstrates, to Lis own
satisfaction at least, that gy ecu b act-
ism is precisely in accordance with
the old bard money idea which he
bas championed since the days of
General Jackson. It was all well
enough for Thurman to jump into
the popular currentbut ti set him
self up as the original swsaparilla of
Dr. Townsend, is too much.
We understand that the great
"National Greenback Labor Conven.
lion of Somerset County". last week,
among other things, resolved that
all candidates sLould bo required to
sign the Constitution, and thus cut
loose from tbeir former poliik&l alli
ances. This being the case, we affection
ately bid a long farewell to tbe gen
tlemen who accepted nominations at
its hands, and kindly com send them
to the tender care of Gencnl Coffroth,
and other leaders of the Democratic
party, in whose corrcpi Ix-sam they
will eventually land.
We are sorry to part with old time
comrades in tbe great Republican
army, but wo simply close np our
ranks and march forward to victory,
feeling well assured that oer Joss is
not their eternal gain.
Gese3.il Coffroth's "Independ
ent Republican County Convention,''
held in tbia borough oa Tuesday lust,
was the best manipulated stuall farce
that has been placed on tbe boards1
this season. As but nine out of tbe
thirty-three election precincts of tbe
County were represented, Bnd a ma
jority of those by srif-constituted
delegates, the General's task of man
ipulating the body was not onerous,
but some of bis toucLea were exceed
ing fine. On tbe assembling of the
Convention, Mr. D. L. PuiLLirn, of
Somerset township, was nominated
aa Secretary; wherecpon be asked
the object cf the Convention, and be
ing informed that it contemplated tbe
nominating of a new ticket, he de
clared himself satisfied with the reg
ular ticket in the field, said be had
been elected a delegate ia bis ab
sence, and without hia knowledge,
and withdrew from th room. This
leaving the township without a dele
gation, the Convention proceeded to
elect and instale a couple of conven
ient hangers-on, who thus pretended
to represent the people of the town
ship without their knowledge. It be
ing apparent from tbe outstart of tbej
Contention that the farce of its bi'ing
a Republican oij could not longer
.be preserved, tbe hajf dcr.en delegates
from the Labor organization, ia .the
neighborhood of Meyersdale, under1
the lead of Coffroth's lieutenant
Lewis A. Tcst'EB took possession
oi the affair and resolved it into a Na
tional Labor Greenback circus.
When the nominations came to be
made, then Coffbotu's fkilltul hand
ling became apparent. Georob G.
Walker, who was on tbe ground
with a couple cf delegates from Alle
gheny, to urge his nomination for
Senator. wa3 coollv thrust off with
a nomiuatiou for Legislature, where
upon his personal dalegatea declined
to take further part ia the proceed
ings, and thev and tbeir candidate
O r
left for home in a state of bewilder
ment and disgust, it not yet having
crer-t throoeh their bair that the
a
Democrats having placed Grof in the
field for Senator. Coffroth had to
dispose of Walker's pretentions io
a way not to interfere with him.
Again, Shafer, who was cock sure
of tbe nomination for Sheriff, to his
consternation and disraay.Tound him
self nominated for Register and Re
corder, an office he did not want, and
could not fill acceptably if he could
get it, and why this was thus he
could not divine. We could have
told Lim a week ago that this was on
tbe cards, and had been whispered
arouud the corners. It was assumed
that he had considerable strength as
a candidate for Sheriff, the Demo
crats in the north of the county,
among whom Kyle, the Republican
candidate, has many personal friend?,
swore that if Coffroth allowed
Shafer to run they would vote
straight fcr Kyle, so to placate them
and with the hope of benefiting
Grof by a trado with some of
Kyle's friend?, Shafer's mouth was
stopped by ibrustins upon him a
nomination he didn't want, and
Mowry received the ornamental nom
ination. To nominate but one can
didate for Commissioner would have
made the prospective dicker too
transparent, so two were named, one
ot whom will be induced to decline
or withdraw, and the other will then
be adopted and run by the Democrats
with McClintock.. But this was
mere by-play, clearing away the rub'
bub lor Coffroth s cbitf move,
which wa3 to secure control of the
Congressional conferees, which, hav
ing the Convention well in hand, was
easily done, and without a dissent
ing voice Lewis A. i lexer was
voted the honors of Grand Mogul
to select a County Committee, aud
also to appoint Congressional and
Senatorial conferees. Coffroth bas
made Li- point. He bas demonstrat
ed to his party friends in the other
part of the District that he owns
and controls tbe "Labor Greenback
movement" in this county, and Lis
supposed strength at Home will be
augmented thereby, while he hopes
that by having the ft-lec'.ion of con
ferees, through Tirser, he may
bag tbe nomination of that party
also.
We are all ageg to see the horny
banded General adopted as the can
didate of the sons of toil
shouldn't he emulate the lily
valley?

From tho New York HcraM.
In one respect tbe election this
fall may have, in tbe end, uncom
mon importance. The Hou9e of
Representatives to be cbosea next
November may have to elect a
President in 1S30. If there should
be three or more presidential candi
dates, and if neither of them should
receive a majority of all the votes
cast, the House, voting by States,
would have to select from the three
highest the person to become Presi
dent of tbe United States. It will
be observed that tho candidate who
should have in that case the major
ity of members in tbe majority of
states would be chosen.

Jacob M. Camobell went into the
f.rmy on the 27th day of February, I
13G2, a3 Colonel of the 5th Regiment,
and was promoted to Brevet Briga
dier General on the 13th cf March,
I8C5. We will not attempt to tell
our soldier readers of tbe General in
the Army, as they no doubt know as
much of bim as we, but we would re
spectfully call attention to the fact
that be is warm to-day tc tbe aojdier,
as a civil officer, as be was during
tbe war, as a military officer, and
that the soldier can send no better
friend to Washington firmer and tru

A SOLID NORTH.
Ignore it as we will, lose sight of
it as we may, the great and growing
question of this country, bound in
time to overshadow all mere issues of
political economy, is the' question of
toe freedom or the ballot; tbe ques
tion of the emancipation of the mind
and the will from tbe slavery of fear
that now envelops them. Slowly
but surely the seeds sown in tbe sur
render of the government to the ball
dozing States, a year and a half ago,
are springing up and bearing fruit.
That surrender has, in tbo brief peri
od of eighteen months, destroyed the
labor of years. Tbe Republican
party broke the shackles of four mil
lions of slaves. Making them free
men, it also gave them political rights,
and incorporated in tbe supreme law
of the land the declaration that "the
right of citizens of the United States
to vote shall not be denied or abridg
ed on account of race, color, or pre
vious condition of servitude."
There was a struggle to enforce
that principle, for the eld barbaric
idea died hard, and disturbances
were frequent. Ia many points of
the South there were massacres of
colored men, but, recognized aud en
couraged, and Si far as possible, pro
tected by tha government, they
stood their ground, fought tbe fight,
suffered the persecution, seeing and
knowing that gradually they were
growing in strength, and driving the
opposition to the wall.
With the advent of tho new gos
pel, however, all was changed. Like
leaded wagon, which, by dint of
bard pulling, had almost reached the
top of the hill, and which, abandon
ed, has gone thundering to tbs bot
tom, it has taben bat eighteen months
for the car of justice, which it re
quired yean of labor to move to the
front, to gravitate back to the slough
of tyranny, oppression nnd ignorance
at the rear. Today the colored
men, and, indeed, tbo whites who
are not in harmony with the bu!l
doxing clement, are practically dis
franchised in every cotton State.
They can vote, if at all, only under
tbe supervision and domination of
the ex-slave drivers.
lormerly the owcer of Elave3 ia'
directly cast a fractional voto for
his chattels. To-day tho ex-owner
practically casts tho whole vote in
many localities, and is likely to do so
soon ia all parts of tbe feoutu.
This is what we have reached by
"conciliation." and. as trie ir.icr-
Ocean has many limes remarked, it
is a political precedent that will ere
Ion? return like a curse t bumble
and afllict the land.
What kind of a Republic ii thi
which permits thousands of its voters
to be driven to the poll.-, or away
from the polls, when tbeir absence
or their presence ma decide vital
questions of public policy, or bo dis
tasteful to tbe power which uses the
shot-gun to carry its points 7
How long can peace b3 maintain

affairs existing f
How long will bulldozing bo cou

Republicans, when tho right to bull
doze is winked et by the only pirty

How loner will men serve a cation
that cannot serve tbem, and serve it

power to humble or exalt, to puni.-h
or reward them ?
The President of tbe United States,
if the principle now recognized grows
or flourishes a little longer, wiil be
President, not by constitutional
means, not by legal methods, but bv
the sufferance merely of State
pontiffs.
The government U rapialy degen
erating from the pjsiuoo of the mas
ter to the place of the man, and is in
a fair way to become tho sport and
plaything of political prostitutes.
This state ot things is primarily
owing to the mistake of the admin
istration ia tr.eating and bargaining
with mobs at the opening of its term.
It is owing, in a secondary way, to
the cowardice and weakness of tho
Republican party leaders themselves.
There should have been a universal
pretest against that surrender, and a
vigorous reiteration of Republican
principles from tbo first. The people
were ready and ripe for it. But, in
stead of that, we hd halting, hesita
ting, and a semi-indortemeat of the
surnaier which discouraged and
disgusted the masses. Among all
tbe State conventions held there was
but one which came out squarely in
opposition to the abandonment of
principle, and that was tbe conven
tion of tbe Iowa Republicans. Penn
sylvania did something, Indiana a
little, Michigan a good deal, and tbo
Illinois convention had tho disposi
tion, if its committee bad possessed
the sense, to have taken as open
ground as Iowa ; but the latter Slate
bas the only intelligent, positive, and
ringing affirmation of old-time Re
publican principles that bas been put
forth by a Northern is ta to niaco the
inauguration ot President Hajos.
The result of this half hearted
work bas been a half-hearted pirty.
I Jhe lies that bind men to political
organisations are weakened when
they find tbeir principles disregarded
by those they have trusted. Thous
ands stayed at borne at tbe I aft elec
tion in Ohio and other States, and
the energies of civil liberty and a uni
ted government too a long stride
forward.
The great task before the Republi
cans cf tbe country is to bring back
tbe thought and seni;ment of the
people to a realization of the dingers
lb at threaten from Calhopoism, and
rebel supremacy, and unite the Re
publican masses once more ja de
fense of tbeir time-booored doctriaes.
Whether that onion will be accom
plished during the pending canvass
ia uncertain, but that it will take
place ere tbd opeoiug of tbe next
Presidential campaign is scarcely to
be doubted. Tbe constant, bold and

Bontwell. .
Mr. Bjutwell addressed a larjre
metliog ot Portland. Me., on Monday
evetiia. In commencing a discus
sion of the currency question Govern
or Bootwell invited any one present
who did not thiuk as be did t ask
him questions. He commenced with
th3 greenback platform of Maine and
read tho clause referring tJ the na
tional banks and declared himself op
posed ta the doing away with tbem.
If the banks were to close up business
what would become cf investments ?
A worse financial panic would follow
than has been 6een for many a day.
Tho difficulty is a want of confidence
on tbe part or those who have mon
ej. There ia money enough, but the
question is what shall bo done with
it so that it shall pay interest ?
Mr. Montgomery Where is confi
dence in real estate?
Mr. Boutwell Real estate is net
convertible in money at any lime, es
pecially at the present tima. In 18C6
ine cusiness ot isu:ng bank notes
was carried oa by States and the
general Government had no benefit
from tbe i3sue. When the national
banks were -ettablishel the Slate
banks ceased, and now the govern
ment derives a revenue from the is
sue of the currency. This was
clecr gain and was accomplished by
the republican party. The green
backers say abolish this system and
eive us greenbacks. Here I should
like to ask some one who makes this
cry what the greenback shall be re
deemed in, if at all ? Shall it be
gild or silver, or issued with no pur
pose to redeem tbem 7
Mr. Montgomery Suppose they
be redeemed iiKe gold ond silver.
Mr. Boutwell Which is not at all
Mr. Montgomery They are re
deem able.
Mr. Boutwell Io.no place on this
earth 13 a man bound to redeem a gold
or silver dollar. They represent their
own value.
Mr. Montgomery We propose to
redeem greenbacks the same as anv
other money.
Mr. Boutwell A gold dollar rep
resents io much value that is, the
bullion of which it is mads is actually
wortn so mucn. It cuets labor to
mine it. It cannot be created by any
nat. x ou cannot mate it in your
pappr milt Lore nor print it ia ash
iugton. If his friend, the questioner,
wianes to put an ttiis machinery ia
motion then there will bo no limit to
the supply of paper dollars, and the
supply wul ba as worthless as it wa3
in Continental times. There is
diff.'ienca between a dollar earned by
card labor and one made with
printing press.
Mr. Montgomery Will vou tell
the difference between a gold and
paper dollar?
Mr. Boutwell Yes, sir. Gold and
silver are money because tbey have
value in them and there is a limit to
the supply and to tbe labor it costs
to produce them. With the 100.000
printing presae3 in tbo couatrv there
is no limit to the supply of paper cur
rency. 1 Le effect of such an increase
cf currency will work on no clas3 as
badly as the poor man. The rich
men will infest tbeir money carefully
and not keep ir, but ihe laborer's
wages will grow le33 and less. La
bur advances last and falls first. No
mere fraudulent rchemc to rob tbe
poor man can be thought of. As to
tbe payment of the bnds in green.
backs. ou greenbackers Bay tbat
the greenbacks are as good as gold ;
then why do you claim that tbe bold
ers cf bonds purcsed them with
depreciated money? 10a are Incou
sistent. Ycu know well enough tbat
finco January, 1802, greenbacks have
not been as good as gold, and no ra
tional man will claim otherwise
Maty of the bonds were issued before

Who now deres to risk the reputation
of tho country by declaring now that
these bonds shall be paid other than
ia coin. Tbo credit of this country
is what saved ber wnen she was
threatened from enemies within tbe
camp. By oaying in gold iostead of
creenbacks the country has saved
f 100,000,000 already. In 18C0 the

82i per cent. We had an interest
account then of $133,000,000.
thought we should get money cheap
er, and accordingly nsucd bonds at
lower rates and they were taken, and
six per eent bonds were soon at par ;
800.000,000 ia five, four and a half
and four per cent bonds were sold
and 8,000,000 a year saved by reduo
ing tbe interest on tbe public debt.
In 1809 it was voted to pay these
bonds in coin, and was it not a good
thing to do ? I)oc3 not my friend
( Montgomery) think so? If he does
not Le differs not from tbe men of the
South who raised their hand against
the country and sought Its destruc
tion. Every scheme which invitoa a
change is a fraud, 1 care not nnder
what name it appears.
Mr. Montgomery u hen did we
promise to pay ?
Jlr. Ltoutwell Tho republican par
ty bas declared that it shall -e paid
in coin, and tbe holders of the bonds
never expected that tbey should be
paid otherwise. If. we redeem in pa
per and then do not redeem tbe mon
ey is not that robbery ? Jiven bond
holders, and tbey are riot all bloated,
have some rights.
Touching the exemption of 'bonds
from taxation, he said thvt the con
stitution of the United States irave
Congress a right to borrow money
without limit. If States could be al
lowed to tax tbe bonds issued by
Congress to raise money, any one of
the States, if hostile to tbe measure
for which the money is to be used,
cculd levy such a hif h tax on them
ai to drive tbem out of the market
How quickly New York would have
done this durfng tie war, or Kentuc
ky. The power must be supreme in
Congress. The interest is so low
that the government gains considera
ble out cf It. In anwer to a ques
tion, he said that the Uue of tbe
Bland dollar as a legal dollar, while
morally dishonest, was legally honest.
The aet of J?G0 justified tbe issue, bat
it was bad policy, for it bad a tecden
cy to depreciate the currency. Green
back are by far the best currency, i!
they are rausemab' a Kold; other
wise they are anything font good.

In reply to your dispatch I will
say that the apologists of Redmond
show bim to have beea a violator of
tbe law of the most desperate char
acter, pursuing the business of de
frauding the Government for a liveli
hood, and shooting officers without
mercy who undertook his arrest.
His gross misconduct led directly to
the death of Ladd 1 cm not con

A little leuieocy by the State Gov
