ULYSSES S. GRANT,
(Subject to the approval of the Ke
pablican National Convention )
REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
FOE SUPREME JUDGE:
HENRY GREEK,
Northampton County.
FOB AUDITOR GENERAL:
JOHN A. LEMOK,
Blair County.
Vermont has fallen into line lor
Grant. Score another State for the
great Peacemaker.
Ge.nehal Hitler eay that the
Democrats "haven't the faintest
hopes of success," and that "Grant
m ill go In with a wbH."
Wendell Tumps eays that the
man who dreams of Grant aspiring
to be a dictator would have awaken
ed Noah with the cry of "Fire."
An Exchange says: Congress
man Coffroth is humbugging Akoona
folks with promipes of a new post
office. That's taffy for a renomina
tion. Hon. Findlet Patterson, a well
known politician, and member of the
Legislature from Washington county,
died on Thursday of last wetk. He
was seventy years of age.
An unclaimed land patent bus
been discovered in the Land office at
Washington, signed by Franklin
Tierce in 1855, issued to Abraham
Lincoln for eerrice in the Black
Hank war.
IIexet Ward Beeciier is the
moat enthusiastic Grant man in the
country. lie says he is for Grant
for a third, fourth, or fifth terra, pro
vided, always he continues a satisfac
tory public servant.
i.' ALioNASCY is no excuse for ly
ing. The editor of the Herald was
elected Trothouotary in 1S57, as the
candidate of the Whig and American
party ; an there was no Republican
ticket in the County that year.
Hon. John Cessna Las been se
lected as chairman of the Slate Re
publican Committee, in place of Col.
Uuoten, who declined a re-election.
This means a wide-awake and aggres
sive campaign in Pennsylvania.
The friends of Hon. EliLu B.
tC..l.l.n... at Unnni Carroll 1 1!..
having called a meeting to advance
his Presidential interests, he imme
diately wrote them a letter saying
that under no circumstances would
he be a candidate for President, and
that Grant is bis first and last choice.
It ippear to be conceded that
Grant will have the Massachusetts
delegation in the Chicago Conven
tion. The Republicans of that State
talk of pushing Governor Claflin for
Vice President, on the ticket with
Grant
From preeent appearances about
four fifths of the delegates to the
New York Convention will be for
General Grant, and there is no doubt
that he will receive nearly the solid
vote of that State at Chicago.
The Democrats in the Senate have
refused to confirm a number of the
Census Supervisors, because they
were Republicans, and yet the Com
missioner gives public notice to Su
pervisors that every one of them
must ewear that he will select his
enumerators without reference to
party or political affiliations. Who
is going to be fooled in this matter ?
We must beg our readers to ex
cuse os for occupying so much space
with matter mainly personal to our
self. It is many years since we have
been compelled to trespass upon
their good nature in this way ; but
when
Inpijr,innhgrel. bound,
Awl cur of low deirree,
are yelping in our track, we are com
pelled to drive them back in self de
fence. "Axotheb Republican" betrays
bis stupidity and proves his malice,
in the last Commercial by asserting
that the Herald "ignored totally,
the whole question of the Senatorial
contest in this (30tb.) district, by
which the county was badly cheat
ed ont of her undoubted right to the
representation."
Go to, tbou fool I malice baa blind
ed thee : The Herald said : "We
think co one in this county denies or
doubts, we were entitled to the Sen
atorial delegate in the late State Con
vejtion." Again, in the same article
it said : "Be that aa it may, while we
adhere to the position that this Coun
ty was entitled to the delegate, we
can cee bow a different opinion
might prevail with others."
If this is "ignoring the whole ques
tion," then we can neither write ncr
read plain English. We did not
bowever, join in the howl against
the Committee on Credentials aa
fools and knaves, but said that, on a
etatement of facts given, a different
opinion might prevail with others;
and this was oar offence. It is tigh
treason to differ in opinion with Gen.
Koontr and his toadies.
We are not conscious of charging
that Mr. L. A. Smith is not a Repub
lican. We believe that since
Lather came marchicr; borne
be baa acted, personally, with tbe
Republican party. But we saij
"that the Commercial never claimed
to be Republican journal ; that it
never advocated a Republican princi.
pie or erpponed a Republican candi
date as such."
It is no answer to say that one,
two, or three individuals may know
ing the editor's principles have con
sidered it each, nor that its denuncia
tion of arson, or of the B. t O. R. R ,
or of Cameronism consulates it such,
and no one knows this fa:t better
than does its editor, while a reference
to Its files will sustain cur assertion.
Oaly last week it blossomed ont into
this kina of Republicanism :
Prepare for Artlaa."
"Shall Somerset county, whom rirntw were to
shamelessly troddt n on tu the Oooveuuoo at H.ir

Louk lor notice Republicans '. lie prepared to
rally : :
Is this the kind of Republicanism
our people admire, on the eve of the
most important Presidential election
the country has ever seen 7 Here is
the announcement that certain Re
publicans are preparing to bolt; that
mere is talk of holding another Re
publican county meeting to elect del
egates to a new btate convention.
Here is an invitation to revolt, to get
up a schism in the party. At whose
instance? For what purpose" It
requires no reading between the lines
of this "call" to discover its animus,
and the cloven hoof of its instigator.
Really, the Commercial may have
experienced a change of heart, and
may feel very devoutly inclined at
present; but we cannot help but think
that the rule of the Methodist church
a period of probation for sudden
converts would not be inapplicable
in its case.
A mono the siguers to Gen. Koontz's
card, published for the purpose of
proviLg the editor of this paper a
liar, we note two of our nephews
by marriage F. J. Kooser and J. G.
Ogle, Esquires. Why these two
young gentlemen loaned themselves
for this base uee, we cannot imagine,
except that they hoped that "thrift
might follow fawning.''
Ba that as it may, they both knew
when they affixed their names to that
paper, the purpose for which it was
to be used, and afterwards to tLe ;re-
monstrance of a mutual friend on the
unseemly act, they replied to the
effect that their names were going to
remain there and they do. Tbey
have not the excuse that others have,
that they were misled, or did not
know that the paper was to be bo
used.
Mr. Kooser has been a voter, per
haps eleven years, nine of which be
has been in office; he is now sitting
on the ragged edge of hope, with gap
iog mouth, trusting that a Congres
sional or Judicial plum may drop
into it. Well, perhaps they may, if
he lives longenongh to fit himself for
eitner posittoii ; uui uuiviaauj
fur him, men do not live as long
now as tbey did in Methusala's lime.
Unless it was the consciousness that
we could not consistently support bis
preposterous aspirations, we are void
of offence towards him.
Mr. 06'le, the degenerate son of a
noble aire, hs since bis infancy, been
to us a source of kindly interest.
We have tried to assist him in his
aspirations, and worked for bis ad
vancement. But with wayward folly
he last year launched himself into
the Greenback movement, and when
bis friends dragged him out like a half
drowned puppy from a pool, and
tried to wipe the stains from his
political garments, they fonnd to
their dismay that he was irrevocably
committed by his letters, now care
folly preserved by others to be here
after used against him. That with
such a record be should thrust him
self prominently forward to insult
one of his earliest friends, proves that
be needs re-baking before he becomes
hard enough to endure the attrition
of politics, or of a contact with his
fellows in the race of life.
It pains us thus to expose the fol
ly, or eelfitsbness ot these young gen
tlemen, but we do it with tho hope
that the lesson may be of such service
to them, that when they have lived
long enough to establish, we trust,
good characters for themselves, tbey
will so appreciate them, that they
will forever thereafter be more chary
cf their assaults upon those of others.
We are asked by the Commercial
why tbe Herald did not "support
the action of General Koontz ia the
State Convention?"
Simply because we did net approve
of it. We do not pin oar faith to tbe
General's coat-tail, but dare to do our
own thinking, and to exercise the
right of choice among candidates be
fore Republican Conventions. This
should be sufficient answer to all self
respecting citizens, but, lest it should
be assumed that some imaginary
grievance controlled os, we add that
no Republican jonrnal in Pennsylva
nia or elsewhere, that has come un
der cur observation bas approved it ;
on the contrary tbey bave all depre
cated bis action and views as set
forth in bis speech in that body. We
quote from a few of those aow on our
table. Says tbe correspondent of tbe
Kew York Times, writing from Har
risburg :
-General Koontx, of Somerset, who had made
a coolest tut a teat and waa ruled out by ibe Ooea

Said tbe McKeesport Times :
"On the other aide thea It la raid that 'he ardor

on. Th t Wollu, of Union, and Koontz. of Sorotr.
eet, and a few more are alwaya opposed to Air.
Cameron, co matter what the Is. ue ia.''
Said the Phiiad'a. Record. (Ind):
"The bitter rpeech of the day waa thnt of 0n.
W. H. Koocti, of Somerset. There (U

said : The Hancocks and ishcplianis and ficl
knape were sustained, and rach won as Greeley
and bainnrr were driven lrom tbe party "nuder

But enough for to-day; we did not
appove tbe mad course of General
Koontz, cor did tbe press ia the State
anywhere sustain it. Wo published
as full a record of tbe proceedings of
the Conventio : as we could make
room for, and a stained from censure
where we could not praise.
Is speaking of the County meeting
beld on the 27ih ult., we said it was
packed by a few eenrvy politicians,
who used a score or two ot unreflect
ing citizens principally of this
borough, to gain their ends. For
this, we were assailed personally and
brutally, and our character for
veracity impugned by an anonymous
correspondent of the Commercial.
To this we simply replied that the
man who would under the shelter of
a pseudonym assail the character of
another in the public prints, was a
contemptible coward with whom we
would not discuss the question of
veracity. Stung by this deservea
retort, a paper was prepared in tbe
office of General Koontz. and circu
lated by his lackeys for signatures,
and Borne forty-eight names obtained
thereto, setting forth that the signers
"were Dresent at this meeting and
are well able to say that it teas not
and could not have been packed."
This DBDer was cullithed in the
Commercial to prove that the aeser
tion if the Herald was totally false,
It does not need much discrimina
tion to see mat tne attempt io
bolster up tbe firet scurrilous assault,
by tbe certificate, proTes more then
was intended, as it clearly discloses
tbe author of both.
If this certificate proves anything,
it proves only that those swift wit
nesses were entrapped by a cunning
pettifogger. How are tfcey well able
to say that tbe meeting was cot
packed? There may have been no
outward evidence of it, but could
they see into the bosoms, or read the
thoughts of others there assembled J
Would men that were brought there
for a purpose, to obtain an unfair
end, publicly proclaim it in advance?
Pshaw 1 this is too plain to waste
words on.
Kow for tbe history of this affair
which has been magnified, for a pur
pose, from a mole bill into a moun
tain. During the afternoon preced
ing tbe meetiDg, Mr. John F. Kaot
ner told tbe editor of this paper, that
. xk. wia - a,
guiehed certifiers was busy drum
ming up tbe Blaine men for tbe
meeting in tbe evening, and had re
quested him to be on band to vote
for Blaine delegates. On tbe even
ing succeeding the meeting, we
charged Welfley with having packed
it, and be unequivocally admitted tbe
fact, afterwards adding, "perhaps I
did wroDg, but I thought the Grant
men were going there in force to try
and elect the delegates." At a sub
sequent lime be admitted tbe fact to
Mr. Elias Cunningham. He made
the same admission to Mr. M. A.
Sanner, adding, "I asked 15 or 16
Blaine men to be on hand," and we
are credibly informed that he made
a somewhat similar statement to F.
J. Kooser. It was also alleged, and
is we believe undenied, that K. B.
McGnff. another ot the signers, was
busy drumming np Blaine men to at
tend the meeting. Three Blaine dele
gates were elected withont an objec
tion, and therefore there was no ob
ject in forcing instructions, and no ne
cessity for a reconnoissanceia force
by Welfley 'a troops. With all these
(acts within our knowledge at tbe
time, were we not justified in alleg
ing that tbe meeting was packed 7
Kow let the very Honorable W,
U. Koontz, resort to bis dictionary,
and bis authorities on special plead
ing to crawl out of bis cowardly as
sault, by arguing that it is impossi
ble for a small number to pack a
larger body. That is the only loop
hole left him. Suppose we were
mistaken, suppose we were entirely
wrong. Is that an excuse for his
malignant, deliberate, cold-blooded
attempt to destroy onr character 7
We bave lived for thirty -five years
in this community in vain, if we can
not lav our character for truth, for
integrity, for honor or any other man
ly attribute along side of his and
serenely abide tbe result.

Ten year ago Miss Jennie Tyler,
tbe grandnice of ex-President Tyler,
waa one of tbe belle9 of Wasbiogton,
and her death ia now aonoonced in a
hovel at Brooklyn, witb a prospect
of ber remains being interred at the

in Richmond, Ya, in 1343. and lived
with ber father on his plantation

St. Peteksbibo, Feb. 19 Gen
eral Gourko, Governor General of St.
Petersburg, was engaged at tbe Win
ter Palace during tbe whole of tbe
night of tbe 17tb instant investigat
ing tbe circumstances connected witb
the explosion. It bas been ascertain
ed that tbe dynamite was fired by an
electric battery, end thai several
pouuds of that exp'ueive must bavo
been used. Tbe cellars of tbe palace
bave long been used for storing pur
poses, and appear to have been occu
pied by four workmen, three of whom
bave been arrested. The fourth man
u missing. Many arrests have been
made in tne inter i'alace and its
immediate neighborhood. The Czar
laa was asleep ia another wing of tbe
palace at the time of tbe catastrophe,
and 'as not disturbed by the explo
sion, of which she remains in igno
rance. Tbe Duchess of Edinburgh
was also in the palace at the time.
Among those wbo decamped after
the explosion in the Winter Palace,
is the Captain of tbe Palace Guard.
Romor establishes a connection
between the late attemDt upon the
life of tbe Czar and tbe arrest of some
forty inmates of tbe Winter Palace,
on Monday last, the day before the
explosion.
The JWrw Yremya publishes par
ticulars of the attempted assassina
tion of tbe imperial family, showing
that the dinner was appointed for 6
o'clock on Tuesday evening. If it
bad not been accidentally delayed all
wonld have been seated at tbe mo
ment of tbe explosion. As it was the
eecape was very narrow. Tbe Em
peror, accompanied by the Princess
of Hesse and Bulgaris, were about to
enter tbe dioicg ball through one
door, and tbe other members of the
imperial family, except tbe Empress,
by another, when the explosion took
place. Two servants wbo were in
tbe dining hall were injured. Toe
force of the explosion was such that
a cumber of windows at tbe palace
and adjacent houses were shattered.
Tbe gas was blown out and complete
darkness prevailed. The bodies of
two more soldiers bave been found
among tbe debris, and of tbe forty
five injured several bave since died.
London, Feb. 19 The Times
this morning, in a leading editorial
article commenting on the explosion
in the Winter Palace at St. Peters
burg, says:
"Tbe central authority of theCzir
must be upheld if that order is to be
maintained which is an indispensa
ble condition of progress. Conspira
cies like this must be punished with
ufficient severity to crush them ; but
if iu conjunction ith these necessa
ry measures tbe Czar pursues a
course of general reforms, be may
entertain a reasonable hope that these
horrors will pass away."

William, Prince Frederick Charles,
Gen. Yon Moltke, tbe ambassadors,
the members of the ministry and the
chief dignitaries of the court and

BOOMS.
Paris, Feb. 19. La France as
serts tbat tbe Czar happened to be in
the apartments of tbe Princess Dol
gorouky at tbe moment when tbe ex
plosion took place. It is wellkaown
tbat the Empress has recently given
her complete sanction to the presence
of this lady, wbo exercises over tbe
Emperor tbe influence of his dead
BUter, Maria Kiculaivena. She is tbe
only person at court tbat can ap
p'oach him in tbe morose moods
which are now bis normal condition,
aud which are believed to be premo
nitions of softening of the brain. She
is a woman of great ability and cour
age, and her place in tbe household,
originally won by tbe Emperor's fa
vor, is now maintained by her per
sonal gifts. La France asserts tbat
it was after a long and close inter
view with Prince Gortscbakoff tbat
tbe Czar sought ber apartments, and
remained there until after tbe ordina
ry hour of bis official dinner with the
imperial family. To this tbe latter
are said to owe their safety. Tbe
Falrie, which has gathered its facts
from tbe Russian Embassy, tells tbe
story somewhat different y. It main
tains tbat the Czar was at tbe time
deep in conversation with Prince Al
exander of Bulgaria, who had arriv
ed at St. Petersburg in the morning.
The Czar anr bis guest were bo in
tent upon tbe subject of their conver

tbat dinner was served was disre

ant returned. As she opened the
door the Emperor rose. At tbat in

He stopped short at tbe sound. He

north of Howell, in a lonesome spot,

farms .along the river have been
seriouslv irjured by the caving of
tbe river banks from tbe lmpingmg

A correspondent witb the officers
of tbe revenue service engaged ia

Georgia, says the life is fraught with
aa much danger as that of a front

attempts bave been made upon tbe
lives of the entire force. This state
of affairs bas grown out of the sus

tbe laws. Yet, the very men are now
engaged in illicit distilling. Tbe oft

Wheeling, February 21 Tbe
fuels connected witb the incendiary
affair at Claytfvilie, Pa , reciting tbe
particulars of tbe attempt of a young
man to Ere his father' bouse, men
tioned in these dinpatches last even
ing, are augmented to day by fuller
reports from ibe sceno of tbe occur-
ence. Janie Worrel, tbe soa and
perpetrator or tee unnatural crim!;,
was studying for the ministry, and
a few evenings before tbe fire led in
prayer meeting. It seems his desire
for money had become a mania witb
him. Sometime preceding the fire
he stele several oi his fathers sheep
and sold tbe pelte, and then ian -ceutly
helped his father search for
the sheep. A ebon time after this
tbe bouse was robbed ot several hun
dred dollars, James, claimed vo lose
two hundred dollars by the robbery
to blind the folk to the fact that the
robbery was ia reality committed by
him, which circumstance bas leaked
out since tbe incendiary fire and tbe
fixiog of tbe guilt upon tbe most un
natural eon. It wa stated tbat oae
sister and tbe father were locked up
in tbe burning bouee, but it is now
learned tbat bis five sisters were
locked in their rooms, and tbat after
the house bad been set on fire by
James, one of his sisters escaped and
fled across tbe country to warn the
neighbors wbo arrived in time to
rescue the rest of tbe family. It is
said tbat young Worrell tried to poi
son tbe fani'ly some time before tbe
fire. Tbe young man is said to bave
escaped to Obio, assisted ia his flight
by bis father, who tbrougn all bas
tried to shield his soa from tbe indig
nation of his neighbors.. Tbe affair
bas created a decided sensatioa ia
Claysville, where tbe family are
known, and the facts were only
learned by the persistant inquiries ot
the neighbors, wbo demanded to
know ibe name of tbe iuceadiary.

Leeaburar. Virginia, for outrage, and .
'who escaped January 27, oti tbe next!
evening committed aa assault oa ibe
persoa of Mary Momoo, near Poto
mac, pposit Point of Rock, Ya ,
and escaped to Maryland. He was
1 souyrht for four days by a gang of
Yirsioia regulators, but was arrested
February 2 by the Maryland author
ities and taken to Ilagerstown for
safe keeping. Tbe regulators have
boarded tbe Ilagerstown trains siuce,
that be should not escape them.
To-day High Sheriff Caruthers and
deputy of Leesburg, with a requisi
tion, took Wallis from Ilagerstown
by traiu to Point Rock, where a
crowd of 200 Virgiaians surrounded
them, and et-corted them some dis
tance to the ferry. As soon as ihe
Virginian shore was reached tbe
prisoner was wrested from tbe hands
oi the Sheriff's, and dragged with a
rope round bis neck to tbe spot
where the outrage had been com
mitted. He begged piteously for bis
life and protested bis innocence, but
he had been carefully tracked and
identified, and laagbiag at bis ap
peals, tbe rope was thrown 'over a
limb of the nearest tree, ana with a
pull all together, Wallis was swing
ing ten feet trom ground. Tbe rope
was fastened and the regulators,
forming ia platoons, riddled ttfe body
with bullets and left. They made
do attempt to conceal tbeir idenity.
Tbia is tbe third outrage Wallis com
mitted, and for weeks tbey bave
boasted that be would never reach
Leesburg alive. His last victim
was brutally maltreated and was left
unconscious and terribly wounded.
This is the fourth lynching of colored
men for outrages oa white women ia
a circuit of twenty miles since April
last. Mary Mormon was among the
crowd wbo awaited tbe landing of
Wallis on tbe Yrgiai shore. She
fully identified tbe prisoner and led
the party to the spot where tbe out
rage was committed, and after the
lynching was the first to shoot at his
dangling form.
