We are indebted to Senator Came
ron for a copy of his tpeech delivered
in the Senate on the 25th ult. on
Inier-State Commerce.
Just now ibe "reliable correspond
ent" is giving rein to hie fancy in re
gard to Presidential candidates as
tally as he did in wartimes.
O.N the first day of ibis month the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad vol
notarialy increased the wages of all
its employees, teo per cent
Horatio Seymore of New York
t.na imin annconced. about the
twentieth lime, that "under no cir
cumstaoce could I (he) accept" the
Democratic nomination li r President.
Tbis ought to settle it if the old gen
tleman is presumed to know his own
mind.
Two out of three Congressional
flimricts in Kansas elected Grant
delegates, but the Siate Convention
turned tbem down and selected Blaine
men in their etead. We do not ob
that the howlers over the
action of the Pennsylvania Conven
tion make much ado over the con
duct of the Kansas bre hren.
Is the Republican National Con
veation each S;ate has a delegation
twice the size of its electoral vote,
which makes lb total vote of States
733. The nine Territories have each
to votes, makine the total vote of
the Convention 75C, requiring 37
votes to nominate.
Uts. Coffroth voted last week in
favor cf the Weaver resolution, pro
Dosine to invest the Government
a w

quantities of greenbacks By thin

ence to the defunct Greenback issue,
end gratified bis soft money constiiu
ents in Blair county.
There has been a heavy fall in the
price of iron, caused by the lack of
eales at the high prices to which it
had been advanced. More reason
able prices it is thought will etiniu
late the trade and give producers
ample and continued employment
The manufacturers were a little too
greedy and anxious to make up pre
vious lofses, hence the back set.
At the election in Indiana last
week, a constitutional amendment
was adopted changing the time of the
State election from October to No
vember. This will prevent the osoa!
colonizing of Democratic votes from
Kemnckv. as tbeir elections will
.
now be on Ibe same day, and
leaves Ohio the only October State
whose vote mav tffjet a future
Presidential canvass.
Tbe Republicans of Illinois bold
their State Convention on May 19
As the selection of delegates from
that State will have a large bearing
on the nomination to be made at
Chicago, much interest is manifested
in the result. Pursuant of the policy
adopted by tbe Blaioe boomers, to
prevent if possible solid delegations
for Grant, strenuous tffjrts are being
made to secure part of the delegates
for their favorite. On tbe other band
the friends oi General Grant claim
that he will be given the fall vote.
The Republicans of Rhode Island
failed last week to elect their candi
date for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor bv tbe vote of the people,
owing to the division of tbe vote by
three sets of candidates beiug in tbe
field. Tbe vote stands. Republican,
10,093, Democrat, 6,230, Prohibition.
5,002. As tbe Senate will contain
2G Republicans to 7 Democrats, and
the House, 59 Republicans to 12 Dew
ocrats, tbe Republican candidates
will be surely elected by the Legis
lature. A republican U. S. Senator
is also secured by this majority.
What Senator Wallace of tbis
State does not know about managing
political campaigns is scarcely worth
learning. Just now be is engaged in
m petty little scheme to deprive the
Republicans of a large portion of
their campaign fond. He has re
ported a bill to prohibit the contri.
bntion of money or any valuable
thing for political purposes by any
person in tbe service of the United
States. The bill provides severe1
penalties for any violation of the
proposed law. Aa a lawyer, ilr.
Wallace onght to know that euch
law would be unconstitutional, and
would be promptly set aside by the
courts. Congress nor any other
power in the land can interfere with
any citizen in the disposition of his
means, by gift or otherwise, except
for an unlawful purpose, and it might
as well undertake to enact that no
-ccivassof a county shall be made for
political purposes. Public servants
re atffl dtizens, entitled to all the
Tights of each, and may write, speak,
ota and act as they please in all
lawful things.
If any one uses bis means to cor.
rupt th ballot be is amenable to
punishment, but be may give bia all if
n pleases to advance the interests of of
tbe pa-ty of his choice. Mr. Wal
lace naderrUnd that it is nsaal for
office holders to contribute towards
tae expenses of carrying on political
campaigns, and be ttioits it woold be
a stroke of policy to prevent tbe Re
publican officials from assisting in
tbis wav the success of their party.
lie might as well go a step farther
and say that office holders shall not
vote. The one woold be about at
reasonable and legal as tie other.
Sats the venerable Thurlow Weed
n a late letter to tte N. Y. Tribune.
".Six months ago General G. -ant's
"nomination was a foregone ouclu-
tion. There was then a general
"belief that tbe country needed him.
"But tbe circomstancos and condi
tions bearing legitimately upon tbe
question have entire! v changed it.
Should Rebel Brig
adiers with their Copperhead allies
"in Congress, again become aggres
sive, defiant and revolutionary in
"method a aud measures; General
"Graut'a nomination would ba de
manded by a sentiment which
would tecure his triumphant elec
tion." Let us abk, have circumstances
and (conditions so changed within
tbe last t-ix months that tbe country
no longer needs General Grant?
Are not Re Del Brigadiers and their
Copperhead allies as aggressive, de
fiant and revolutionary in their meth
ods and measures now as then 7
True, with tbe near approach of the
Presidential election they are not as
blatant, as exultant, as domineering
now as then, but bave tbey changed
in regard to a single measure then
advocated, and attempted to be forced
upon ibe country ! If tbey bave, we
bave failed to note it. Controlled by
the cunning policy cf their leaders,
they bave sat with padlocked lips
during the present session avoiding
all possible debate, meek in outward
appearance, and cantioos in all public
declarations, but nevertheless steadi
ly adhering to the revolutionary
measures so defiantly put forth at the
extra session. Woe to the country !
if the people ere deceived by tbe
velvety touches ot the tiger's paw
that conceals the fierce claws ready
to rend them.

II ere in a compact shape is tbe
whole record, political, fiusocial aud
unpatriotic of the Democratic party
durine the extra seseion. It was tbis
record, tbis display of "aggressive.
defiant and revolutionary method
and measures" tnat led to the gencr
al belief that tbe country needed
(scoer&l Granc, that then made his
nomination almost a "foregone coo
elusion." You may scan with micro
scopic eve, the fM-outvadiocs of tbe
present session, and save la tbe en
forced, but politic silence of lbs nevo.
luiionHts, not a single feature of their
polici has been abandoned or chang
ed. Tbe Democratic tiirer is genii v
purring with half closed but watch
ful aud cruel eyes, ready for its fatal
spring, if eucceealul at tbe coming
election. Wny doe not the ouairy
now stand in need of General Qraut 7
niftory proves that the Democrats
of tbe Souib-aod ib?y now as hereto
fore control tbe party-aerer changed
their policy except when drivea to it
by the voice of the country. Inch by
by inch tbe ameuiiueou of tbe con-
eonstitution and tbe reconstruction
measures were forced upon tbem,
snd time and again they bave given
notice that tbey will be wiped out if
ever tbey regain absolute power.
Tbe sentiment wbich demanded the
nomination of General Grant a few
months since, has been lulled into
faW security by the cunning policy
the Democratic leaders, and the
advocates of other Republican can
didates bave taken advantage of it to
push the claims oi their friends. Tbe
issues of tbis campaign were made
op during tbe extra evasion. The
party ot frand and violeoce, of tissue
ball J' s and shot guns control both
Houses of Congress; its policy is
fixed and, if not eoccessful at tbe
polls, its will attempt to inaugurate its
candidates by rfaud, for which event
it ii s'.eauily preparing, and there
is as much need for General Grant at
tbe bead of affairs now, as existed
six months since, when his nomina
tion was deemed a foregone conclu
sion.

Thb municipal elections which
have just been held in Ohio, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Michigan all show
large Republican gains, and in the
majority of instances Republican can
didates have beeo successful. There
is no doubt what ibis means. Il
means that tbe satisfaction of tbe
country with tbe Republican ad
ministration grows more hearty as
proppenty increases.
A solid Snerman delegation, and
that alone, can prevent a heavy Ohio
vote from beiug cast for Grant in the
convention. Blaine Has really no
positive strength in Ohio. Columbus

From hie speech in tbe N. Y. Convention.
Tbe election before u, fellow-Re
publicaus, is destined to be memorable
wben you and 1 may be fortroiion
memorable for tbe de-peratioo of ibe
Contest Not only before ibe people
bave decided it, but I fear afterwards
also. 1 1 is tbe last election to occur
under a census wbicb gives uubal-
lowed aud unlawful power to tbe
South. I say undue aod unlawful
power because every colored person
is counted to swell representation and
yet tbe colored vote is trampled out
and ignored. (Applause ) ibis ar
rangment gives to tbe S a bern States
but forty-seven electoral votes less
than a mjority. A new count is
to take place A oew apportionment
is about to be made fairly made.
Tbe scepter will be taken from ibe
States lately in rebellion and it will
pass to tbe North and to tbe West
But with a Democratic President
next time and a Democratic Con
gress to make all ibese adjustments,
yon will bave aa apportionment un
der wbicb tbe Republican party may
uot carry tbis country agaiu for tea
or twenty rears. Moreover, a close
result, however clfT, may lead to a
disputed electoral count and open
toe door to a train oi evils wbicn mi
prophet can foretell. Tbelatlc
toral count, when one noose was Re
publican and one Democratic; tbe
extra session, with its revolutiouary
plot, tbe doings io Maine and other
things, are enough to warn tbe blind
and deaf. Preparations are already

President in tbe bands of a Demo

-ingle electoral certificate of anv
State, with either of theao two Demo

tbe result is given into tbe hand-of
the House of Representatives, where
tbe election niuet be made byS'ates;
and wbat do you seer Although

Congress baa fooled away another

Five dayaoot of ibe six were need by
the Brigadiers in bickering agaiost
tbe idea of giving tbe Post Office
Department sufficient meaaa to carry

ed to speech-making to an audience
of empty cbirs. Colonel Joe Black
born (be is reduced one rank since
Coffroth waved tbe bloody shirt) led
ibe attack on the Department for al
leged extravagaot use ot the Govern
ment's money, not caring a cuatineo
tal what was the cause of the defi
ciency, lie pitched into the Gov
ernment on general principle. Gen
eral Garffield aud Representative
Robeson met bia attack', and worst
ed bim at every point, and when it
came to a vote whether the people
should have tbe mails as heretofore,
or stop tbe Siar Route service,
enough Democrat cut loose from Col
onel Joe, skipped ibe gutter, joined
tbe minority, and carried through tbe
appropriation. Brigadier leadership

"One thousand little ones wbo

urday, and will be increased to 14,
000 io tbe course of ibree or four
days. Very many schools bad be
come almost empty, because tbe
children were so constantly hungry
aud bo nearlv naked that attendance
was an impossibility. One entreat

children attending tbe Miltown
schools, in Gal a ay, are iu a pitiable
state, beiug almost without clo.hiug
