The Somerset Herald WEDNESDAY- - May 4.10. Replte National Ticiel . "r&R rEESIDENT: ' ULYSSES S. GKAXT, ( Subject to the approval cf tbe re publican National Convection ) REPIIBLICAH STATE TICKET. TOR SCPEEME JUIiGE : nEnr geeex, Nortbacipton Countj. rOB ALDITOB GEXEHAI.: JOHN A. LEMOX, Blair Coonty. If Orant ia nominated at Chicago, what a Eorfeit of crow some people will Lave to masticate. The Blaine .Club of Meyersdale like onto "The Kmg ! 1'iaac wit" furl thousand bub XarcalpUnIU ud then marched dowi again." It 18 ramored that Tost Master General Key is to be appointed to a Federal Judgeship in Tennessee and Tyner will be made Postmaster Gen eral. "ow that the honor of Somerset Coonty baa been vindicated, and the slight put npon her "favorite son" avenged, it is to be hoped that peace and serenity will reign for a brief reason. AiXiCfTfs S. Lasdis of Blair Connty and W. J. Eaer of thi place are the Democratic delegates from this district to tbe Cincinnati Con vention "o Tilden in "tbeirn," General Loc ax while admitting that there is considerables Blaine feel ing in Illinois, says, that he never had a doubt of it instructing for General Grant, and that all reports to the contrary are bosh. A member of the Georgia dele gation to the Chicago Convention, now in Washington, says that all etories to the contrary notwithstand ing, the delegation stands as follows : llrant 13; Blaine 5; Sherman 4. The South Carolina Republican State Convention which met on Fri day last, instructed the delegates to Chicago to vote as a uni; for "the world-renowned and most available candidate General U. S. Grant." Tbe Ohio Republicans met in State Convention oa Wednesday last and instructed their delegates to Chicago for Join Sherman by a large majority. This is on of the States that the blow-bards have been claiming for Senator Elaine. The next Legislature of California will elect a IT. S. Senator, and as the Republicans have twenty-four Sen ators who hold over, they have al ready a majority in that branch of tbe legislature. At the Democratic State Conven tion in Uarri8burg on Wednesday, the roughs and ehoulde-hitters of Philadelphia supporting the Randall Tildon faction captared the opera bouBe, where the convention was to meet, and held forcible possesion of it all the previona night. IIox. John A Kassos, Minister to Austria, will resign his present po. eiiion to run for Congress ia the Sev enth District of Iowa, which will, of course, lay out the Greenbacker Gil lette, tbe present member from that district Said a stalwart old Republican to us, "what dees all this fuss made by the Meyeredale Club and other rero Sution'ret amount to ? It only places them on the Herald's p'.atform in favor of the nominee of tbe Chicago Convention." To their credit be it spoken, a Dum ber of tbe Blaine men of this borongh refused to take part in the disorganiz ing meeting of last week. Their stalwart Republicanism revolted at ny appearance of a bolt So far aa beard from, li!ioo3 dele gates elected to tbe National Con vention stand in proportion of four for Grant to one for Elaine, and yet the boomers insist tbe State ia sure for Blaine. TiiE Arkansass Republican State Convention held on Wednesday last, instructed its delegates to Chicago to vote for General Grant, and to use their individual and collective efforts to secure bis nomination as long as his rune ia before the Convention. While the Democratic factions were reconciled at Ilarrieborg, and greed to stand together for the pur pose of carrying the State if possible, still private grudges are fed fat when opportunity presents. Thus the Wallace men of this district eav. agely knifed Hon. A. II. Cuffroth whose friends wanted to send him as s delegate to Cincinnati and selected W. J. Baer in his place. Tbe Democratic Convention of this State pnt a hard-money plank in lie platform last week, thus showing that aa usual, it is compelled to back water ia every campaign. Its nomi nees are lion. George A. Jenka, of Jefferson Cocnty, for Jadge of the Supreme Court, and Robert P. Dec hart, of Philadelphia, for Auditor General. ' The California Republican State Convention metjon .Thursday last, appointed eix delegates to the Chica go Convention, and instructed them "to vote aa a unit first, last and tbe time for iamea G. Blaine." Thos while tbe Blaine boomers in this State are shrieking against the unit role, the Maine Senator's friends ra adopting it wherever 'they have the power. The Bedford Inquirer publishes the CommerciaPs screed against it headed a "Machioe Organ's Growl," and calmly remarks. "The article referred to l of a kind which It is "bootless loantwer according to it lolly. For "tear that oar reader may misapprehend I lie "Mains ol the Commercial, it is auly neowsary to "potnt oat thai tbe aval wnicb seemingly outrun "In a ierreiiun, u that or a new convert How ft s vonTernl was brought elwat it I out fur to "Mr, but enouxh to know that it tot-k place at a "lime when leal in it peculiar hoe may nave a "demoralizing eCect Mi tbe party U pr.deti-es ft "espouse." The r.i'juircr wings its shaft to the bull's-eye as deftly, as if it was ; "native and to the manner bora.'? i Iris openly charged by tbe Wal jltce wing of tbe party, that tbw uuit j rule was defeated in the Democratic j Convention last week by a fraudu lent count, and also that large sums of money were offered by Tilden's friends for the seats of delegates. And ye; this party has the assurance to start its campaign with the cry of "fraud" against the Republicans. Sam Josipns and Bill M'Mullen are admitted to be to draw it mild tbe two most unsavory politicians ia Philadelphia or the State, open de fiers of all law, and notoriously lead ers of the guttersnipe?, shoulder hitters and thieves of tbe Quaker tity, and yet the "Reform Democra cy" have appointed both of them delegates to their National Conven rion at Cincinnati. There are traitors and self euR cient fools in all parties and among all classes ; but it is a consolation to know that the world is so constituted that in the long run the right will come uppermost. Still it ia a little hard to bear to see men who have been on the right side and have every inducement to remain there, from sheer folly or pure "rnssedneso" do their best to betray a good cause and play into tbe fcacds cf its enemies. Mass meetings will probably be held in Kaunas and Iowa to protest gainst the action of tbe two Stato conventions and declaro '.hat tlicy did not represent the sentiment of the people A very prominent Republi can in the former State writes the Infer Ocean that there is no possible question but that tbe Kansas Repub licacaaretwotoone forGraat. "The Grant men trusted everything," Le says, -to tbe strength of tbe candi date, while Blaine's friends have worked like bsavere for the last three months." In this way tbe conven tions were "set up" and the people misrepresented. The fact that the bitter feud bs- tween W allace ana Kaaaau was patched up in the Democratic Con vention last week, should be a signifi cant warning to tbo Republicanc of this State. It means, that however insincere may be tbe reconciliation between these rival politicians, tbe Democracy have determined not to lose the State this fail through family quarrels. We know that jthis is a Republican State, but;t cannot be counted always for the party if the Republican vote does not bold to gether, and yet, while the Democrats are burying all past differences for sake of their party, Republican lead ers in several counties ere holding meetiags, denouncing tbe State Con vention, and doing their level best to disturb the harmony of cur party and consequently are playing into the hands cf the Democrats with the sure result of losing us the State. Accorbiso to tbe tables of the Inter-Ocean, out of the delegates al ready elected Grant has 2S4, to which it adda tbe 42 rotes from Illinois swelling the number to C2G and 24 from Tennessee (conceded to Grant) making 350 votes only 29 less than a majority which is 379- To get these 29 votes there is fctill left Ala bama, Mississipp, Louisiana, with Wisconsin, Nebraska, Florida, New Jersey, Vermont, Connecticut, Mas sachusetts and other States. On the other hand the Tribune tables gives Grant 271, Blaine 102, Sherman CI. It will be observed that the Grant and Blaine tables only differ 13 votes as to Grants txength iO far as the delegates are elected. The balance is only conjectured, founded however on strong appear ances, which seems to assure Grant's nomination. Be that as it may however, we ngain repeat that this journal while it has its favorite, as it has a right to have, stands ready to support the coiminee of tbo National Convention, and sot only maintain his claims to an election, iiatto make it as lively as it knows how, for tiosjs who assail him. Tni Meyersdale Blaine Club according to programme held its side show ia tbe Court House on Tuesday evening last and we under stand played to a full house. The assemblage was a motley one. Oar friends from the country who were attending court, of course took in tbe meeting. Democrats who hoped for a row put in an appearance, "Cof frotb Republicans" rubbed thlr hands in glee over this quasi endorsement of their lack" of fealty two years since, earnest, conscientious, ead-eyrd Re nabiieans ioined the throng and 1 m watched with pained faces the meas urea taken to disrupt Ihe party, while tbe boys flocked to the gallery and yelled indiscriminately ia, and out of season. The Commeicial publishes the fol. lowing list of officers, viz: Dr. S. S Good, as President ; Hon. George G. Walker, George Lowry, W. G. Wal ker, Solomon Baker, W. Zimmerman, C P. Sweitzerv Michael Hady, W. W. Barahart, Wilson N. Baal,Eman nel Lichty, T, JL WeWey, John W. RAachT and George SJ. Lichty as Vice Presidents; and Ceorgs H. Suhrie, C. Strang, R. H. Dall, J"otn 2.

John G.Ogle, Ecq., made the opening speech and was followed by Gen.

J. Kooser. Eeq., Col- J. R. Edie, Dr. II. C. McKioley aod E. M. Schrock f Uwed with speeches. Dr. II. Clj McKicley, II. E. Earr.es and W. E. Frease were appointed conferees, Ac , A'?, We are informed that teveral ol tbe gentlemen named aa oCiiers were not in sympithy with the object of tbe meeting, and quietly declined to participate ia it A glacce at the list tbowa to the well posted lcil poliiition a queer admixture of bolters and kickers, Greenbackors and Coffruth Repub licans, with a sprinkling of sturdy Republicans'who evidently misunder stood the full tccpe and object cf the meeting. Tfce resolutions adonted. denounce tbe unit rule; the action of the fjarrisburg Convention ia refusing lion. W. II. Koontz a seat therein (the milk in tbe cocoanut), tbe ac tion of the Chairman of tbe State Central and National committees for colling early conventions, and at tempting "to push upon tbe party a nomination (Genl. Grant') distasteful and dangerous to tbe interests of the party," declare against a third term, and Co ally pledeo hearty support to tbe nominee of the Chicago Con vention. That tbi was cstcntially Gen. W. II. KooaJz's meeting, and was engin- evred by him, was understood and commeit :d oa in advance by the prtss in other localitbs. It was called to avenge the fancied slight put upon him in th3 State Convention, and to magnify Lis ""importance in the State. It was heralded in advance bv tbe Meversdale Commercial and Pittrib'jrgh pi-pafrh. Ilis epeech was carefully prepared aud pent be fore its delivery, for publication in Pittsburgh, aud a florid account of tot meeting jwas telegraphed to tbe Phil adelphia Pres. In britf the Gen eral's horn was exalted, bis trumpet ba.-i been most lustily blown, and all the otter actors were merely lugged iu as Ecceescrie3 to sweil the import ence cf his triumph. That his coo- duct in this matter is open to the tevercit animadversion caaaot be doubxd by his warmes; admirer., and that co good, but much harm has been done Limeif and the Rs- publican party cf this county, ia the almost universe! opinion. But in view of the fact that a resolution was passed by tbe meeting pledging support to tbe nominee of the Chica go Convention, we forbear further ceosare or criticism, with the hope that the flower of safety may be plucked from the nettle danger. Tfake It t'aaaimoai. There no longer seem? room for doubt that Grant will bo nominated ia June by tbe practically unanimous voice of tbo Chicago convention. It was a wise, though a rather paradoxical provision inserted iu the resolutions of the county conven tion in Ohio last week, wtiiea pent delegates for Sherman, that its repre sentatives should vote for Grant if re quired to make his nomiaation unan imous. Tbe gentlemen who framed those instructions saw very clearly tbe necessity of preparing for te del uge which "is fast overspreading the l&nd. There has been a lively contest, and though it is not ended yet, the beginning of tha cod is at baud, and the result can be easily jrssgca. Now is the time, therefore, to drop fell bit terness, and rally round the standard that has led the Rt-pubiican army so often to victory. Grant was elected in JS2 by an unprecedented majority. Evtry s!ander ogainst him tfcea was refuted. Every attack was repelled Every liboler was pillored by the verdict of public opiuixa This being true in 1S72, what ia to binder bis triumphant march to the Wbith llouf.e in 1SS1. Is be not standing in public esti mation far in advance cf his position at that lime. Since tben tbe world has received and honored him. Tie people without distinction of party, have pm'sed him. Tee presa of the cog ctry have un ited in testifying to bis personal pur ity and unquestionable integrity. "Democrats and Republicans have welcomed him with tbe unsnimous admission that he is to-day tbe Ert citizen of the worid. Life is Bhort and 6w;fily parsing years have already taken him far to word the wand climacteric. If this country in ever to have the benefit of his wifio pounsei and Sis ripe experi ence, It mast tale bjn now. History is our guide, and the rcript the world tbe measure of bumaa great cc. Judging by tbe&a a ceutary will not produco another so prudent as a counselor, so successful a a sol dier, so evenly balanced aa a states man. Let not posterity reproach this generation with its failcro to appre diate such a character. There nre others more brilliant ; tbprg trs none so safe.

He said acts of violence were quite numerous during tbe reconstruction period, tbe purpose of wb.ch was to overawe tbo negroea and render tbem subservient to tbe will of the native whites; and that things were worse now than ia 18 Co, because tbe State Courts and tbe State Govern ments are iu the bauda of the whiles, and are employod in keeping tbe uegro from voting.

SENTENCE OF THE C VRT. "You are each cburged with cor ruptly soliciting members of the Geueral Assembly, and eudeavoriog to induce tbem, under promise of money, to vote for tbe passage of a bill under consideration. Four of you have pleaded guilty, and one has been convicted, a'ter an impartial trial. It is greatly to bo regretted tbat tbe practice baa been carried on for years in tbe Legislature. It was charged throughout tbe country that bribery in the Legislature was the great evil of tbe day. So cryimr waa this tbat when the convention met to revise tbe constitution ot the state, it waa decided to make tbe most strin gent laws and enact heavy penalties to meet tbe cause of a Legislator withholding or giving bia vote on any measure for a consideration." Toe Judge tben referred to the law of 18G0 which provided that tho puaishm vt should bo 5yearsiipmprisonment aud $1,000 Cue, aad tben he said : "To tbia bas been added the di-nushfica lion of tbe defendant from holding any itbee of honor, profit or trmt m the Commonwealth Even ibe occu pation ot soliciting members' votes is prohibited by fine ant' imprisonment, and ibis meets that 1 .trice class of men who bang about legislative balls, who are known aa "borers " (low ever trivial you may have coociiiered your offence, it ia not looked upoa by tbia Court in such a manner. Tbe public treasury has bee a plundered, and others made great gains by ibis praciice. What was particularly no ticeable in this case ia tbat two of you were members of the Legislature Individually, 1 feel a piny for your situation, but as Judge of the Court I must carry out the law. Tbe beg gar in rags who steals a loaf of bread, or the millionaire are treated the same. It cannot be pleaovd that tbe bill was bigbly meritorious, for bad been it would have passed the Leg islature. Yon are not like some who come here You cannot be excused on tbe ground of igaoreoce, because yon are intelligent meu. You weut into this thing with your eye open, because yon knew many members of tbe Legislature were corrupt. Tte sentence ftf the Court is that each of jua pay one thousand dollars, the cot of prosecution, aud tbat you serve a term of one year in tbe Ea tern Penitentury." The sentence waa unexpected and look tbe defendaats aad toj:r imme diate friends by surprise Mr Kern ble said, " May it please yo?r Honor, bave I the riht to speak ?" "Yes, sir," replied Judge Pearson. Mr. K. tben said : "I came here to day in compliance to my promise two weeks ago to receive my sentence. I never pleaded guilty before this court. I made a plea, but tbe Court cb"S9 to accept a portioo vnd reject te rest There is nothing ia t.a; which justi Des the claim of. the Court in this sen ten??. There is nothing tbat I am guilty of." Judge Pearson, after re marking that he thought differently, added, 4 Gentlemen, you are in the Custody of the sheriff" Mr. Rom, berger also addressed the Court, to i he effect that he was nut represented by counsel, dud asked that wben bi. counsel came this afieruooo be might be beard. Judge Pearson said that anything tbe counsel migbt say could not matter a particle. Counsel could not turn a hair white cr black. DEFENDANTS TAKEN TO JAIL.
