The Democratic National Conven tion meets at Chicago on the 8th day of July. The Democratic State Convention of Delaware last week declared in favor of Bayard for President. Octside the city, the Republicans of New York 6eem to be as euthusiae tic for Blaine and Logan as the Re publicans are in this State. It is now stated that Congress will not probably adjourn until af iet the middle of July, and it may potisibly hold on until August. The St. Paul rionter says the Democracy is now sitting on top of a mountain ol broken promises con sidering what it is best to do next The Democrats of Cambria Coun ty have instructed for F. A. Shoe maker, Esq., for Congress, and are relying on the vote of their Somerset brethren for him. "The Republicans of Massachu setts have too much hay in the stack to set fire in the grass," is the pow erful way in which Murat Halsted tate8 the question. The bill restoring General Fitz John Porter to the army has finally passed both Houses of Congress. It now remains with the President to determine his iuture. Illinois and Maine in 1SG0 fur nished the first successful Republi can ticket Lincoln and Hamlin' and now reversing the order of things, Maine and Illinois furnish the winning ticket this year. Bayard's boom is somewhat checked by a secession speech he made at Dover, Del., during the early 6tages of the war. Why this is so, is difficult to determine, as his Democratic brethren all stood in with him then. There has been no campaign lor years where the " boys " were so anxious to begin the fight. They can hardly wait until the Democrat ic candidates are in the field. All over the land clubs are. forming and organization is being perfected. The Republican State Convention of Indiana last week nominated Hon. W. II. Calkins for Governor, and put up a strong State ticket As Indiana will be one of the strong ly contested States, our friends have put forward their best men. and without much doubt will be able to elect them. The Des Moines lttyittcr reminds those Democrats who are asserting that Mr. Blaine is u the easiest man in the Republican party to beat " that he has never been beaten in a political contest since the time he entered public life in 1S58. He was twice elected to the Maine Legisla ture, t seven times to Congress, and once appointed and once elected to the Senate. We do not quite understand the logic of those Republicans who be lieve that they can support the party by defeating its nominees. A. )'. Tribune.' That was precisely what we didn't understand in the campaign two years ago, when the Tribune gave its influence to defeat the fairly and unanimously nominated candidate of the Pennsylvania Republicans for Governor. These chickens come home to roost Kicking was just as inexcusable then as now. The old cock-and-bull story of Logan's original intention to 6ide with the rebels is being repaired for use in th Democratic cause. But the Philadelphia Timet, while oppos ing Blaine and Logan, gives its Democratic friends the following warning on this point : . "There is a disposition among the Democratic organs to make much of the fact that Logan went into the Union army instead of the other one. They had better be careful how they find fault with Logan for sticking to the old Hag, or the Re publican organs will say the Demo cratic organs would have liked him better if he had gone into the Con t federate army, as they allege he thought of doing. They may find fault with hira for his disloyalty to the King's English without laying themselves open to any such attack, but any slurs upon Logan's army record will recoil upon them with terrible force. The gun kicks harder than it shoots." Ox Tuesday of last week the Re publican nominations at Chicago were ratified by a rousine meeting at Washington. Senator Hawley called the meeting to order, and speeches Were made by Senator Sherman, William Walter Phelps, Senator Mahone, Senator Harrison, General Hawley, Fred. Douglass, and other prominent men. The en thusiasm was 6imply tremendous. The Nashville American asserts that if the Democratic party declares in its convention in favor of free trade, Tennessee will cast her elec toral vote for Blaine and Logan. The Chicago Convention dare not do it The delegates will talk all around it and word their platform bo as to read between the lines or any way to avoid a plain confession of " hori zontal " principles. THEe Union army never stacked arms and laid down and squealed because a few cowards deserted, and the Republican army won't do it now. No Republican who loves the principles of the party can give a good reason for deserting the stand ard in 1SS4. The man who refuses to abide by the decision of the ma jority honestly expressed should not beloDg to a church or a social or po litical organization of any kind. Tuter-Orean. Interview with Colonel Alex. McClure: When President Arthur retires he will take with him the re spect and esteem of the entire coun try, opponents as well as partisans, and in a greater degree than any President we have had in half a cen tury. Lincoln did not serve his time out, Jackson was hated, Pierce and Polk amounted to nothing, but Arthur, of whom much less was ex pected, has absolutely the confidence and regard of the whole American people. The death of the venerable Bishop Matthew Simpson, which occurred last week, is a loss not only to the great denomination with which he was so prominently identified, but aloo to evangelical Christianity at large. Perhaps no divine of his eminence has been so successful in rising above the bigotry of sectarian ism or so widely known and revered outside of his own denomination Of him it could truly be written that he loved his fellow-men. and left the world better than he found it Mr. Geobge V. Ci rtis, of New York, and his crowd of Indeptn dents, organized last week, chose Mr. Curtis, Chairman, named their organization the " Independent Re publican Committee," and issued a circular inviting all opposed to Blaine and Logan to send represen tatives to a meeting to be held im mediately after the Democratic Con vention, which meeting is to deter mine whether they will support the Democratic ticket or put up candi dates of their own. This means mischief, but we think the " anything to beat Blaine and Logan " cry will not prove a formid able campaign cry. At the New York Democratic State Convention, held at Saratoga last week, delegates to the National Convention were chosen. Governor Cleveland has 41 to 31 against him. Under the unit rule in force in that State, this will give Cleveland the entire 72 votes to which the State is entitled. This gives the Governor a good send-off, and makes him the probable candidate for President, as New York is conceded to be the pivotal State Other States are rap idly tumbling into line for him since he carried his own State. It takes a two-third vote to nominate, however, and the Governor may not pull through, although he 6tarts out so well. No sensible Republican will give credit to the talk of the mischief- makers about rings, combinations and slates among the candidates at this primary election. This same kind of gabble has been used at every election for the past twenty years, and yet no man can truthfully say that he ever had any evidence of a ring existing in this county. The cry is mere clap-trap to scare the timid. It never did any candi date harm or good, and no sensible man ever took stock in it. Republi cans should go to the polls, vote for the men of their choice, and let the blatherskites howl themselves hoarse over tbeir nnamnarv Tines and cliques. Senator Camkuox, of Pennsylva nia, last week, by request, intro duced in the Senate a bill to amend the pension laws, identical in its provisions with one reported favora bly to the House from the Commit tee on Invalid Pensions by Mr. Mat son, of Indiana. It provides that all persons on the pension roll, and all persons hereafter granted a Deri sion, who, while in the military or naval service of the United States and in line of duty have lost an arm or a leg, shall be entitled to a pen sion of $40 per month ; that those who have lost a hand or foot shall be entitled to a pension ol $30 per month, and if they have received a wound or wounds or other disability in addition thereto shall be entitled to $50 per month ; that all persons who have had a leg amputated at the hip-joint, and all persons who have lost an arm at the shoulder- joint, shall be entitled to $50 per month, and that all persons who have lost an arm and a leg shall be entitled to $72 per month. The maimed 6oldiers, whose pen sions it is thus proposed to increase should, if the bill becomes a law, feel very kindly to Mr. Cameron for his action in their behalf. j Principles and not icen, should control all true Republicans. Had Arthur or Edmunds been chosen at Chicago, the Blaine men would have been expected to support them, and so now, all good Republicans whose first choice was not Mr. Blaine should do as they would have wish ed to be done by. The pestiferous doctrine that lead3 to bolting and kicking should have no recognition among upright men. Old-fashioned honesty formerly required, gentle men who went into conventions to other, to abide bv the decision of o - the majority, but the new doctrine of independence apparently teaches that majorities have no rights that minorities are bound to respect. They can play fast and loose just as it suits them. Mr. George W. Cur tis who was a delegate in the Chica go Convention, has adopted and preached these views. Our lathers would have said Mr. Curtis was not a man of honor. In the Presidential battle, so soon to be joined, Republicans should take high cround on the principles of the party, and not look on it a3 a matter of preferences for men. Love of principle should always guide men in the discharge of high duty. It 13 allegiance to party which has civen this country the blessings of Republican rule for almost a quarter of a century. Great principles are yet at issue and unsettled, and fifty millions of people are deeply concerned in their proper adjustment. Every honest method should be used to secure the election of our candidates. Let the Independents sulk in their tents if they will ; but the bone and sinew of the party, who have always stood in the front rank, will make this fight, and will win, if honest en deavor can assure succ3ss. The self ish and over-virtuous skulkers who forsake the standard now, and would rather see it driven back, and the standard of Democracy raised in its stead, than to abate one iota of their pretentious claim to dictate to the party, will only earn the healthy contempt of honest men, and we sincerely believe be overwhelmed in the disastrous defeat which will overtake their Democratic allies in November next. The Ilarrisburg Patriot last week printed an alleged interview with a well-known Republican of Harris burg, telling how Blaine was defeat ed for the Presidential nomination at Cincinnati, in 1S7(. It was to the effect that after the sixth ballot the Pennsylvania delegates, who had up to this time voted for Hart- ranft, withdrew for consultation, Just as a speech of the late Morton McMichael seemed to have settled matters in Blaine's favor, William II. Kemble, of this city, arose and said that he had paid Mr. Blaine $7,500 for a certain ruling in the House of Representatives $5,000, th6 price at first agreed upon, in one check, and $2,500, an additional sum demanded by the Speaker, in another check. Mr. Bergner is represented a3 going on to say that Mr. Kemble exhibited the checks, which had been returned in the reg ain course of business, with Mr. Blaine's indorsement, and that the disclosures, together with the ocular evidence accompanying, had the effect of stampeding the delegates troni Blaine to Hayes. The story has since been denied by Mr. Bergner, its reputed parent; by William II. Kemple, whom it is charged exhibited the checks, and by numerous other members of the delegation who were at Cincinnati at the time. The editor of this journal, who was a delegate, can also bear testimony to the utter un truthfulness of the story. He was present at every meeting of the del egation : knows that no such state ment was made by Mr. Kemble; that no checks were exhibited and never heard of the alleged transac tions, either at Cincinnati or else where. The entire story as publish ed by the Patriot is a monstrous falsehood, utterly devoid of trulh. Gen. Lxigan'a Mail. Washington, June IS. Standing in the postollice of the Senate now adays one sees a peculiar perform ance on the part of the distributing clerks. Each mail brings a volum inous correspondence, which is us ually divided into proportions com mensurate with the prominence of the Senators. Now, however, one sees the clerks throw about eveiy third letter in one Senator's box, and that one is the box of Senator Logan. When inquiry is made how this tremendous mass of cor respondence is read and replied to, if any response in given, it is found that besides his regular clerk and private secretary, Senator Logan has been compelled since his nomina tion to employ two stenographers. All of these are kept busy and many of the more important letters are answered bv Mrs. Logan and the General. The letters are almost in variably from old soldiers convey ing congratulations and assurances of support or risking some favor. In accordance with a rule adopted when he entered public life and closely followed ever since, General Logan anwers promptly every let ter he receives. At this time, how ever, he has a fair prospect of being overwhelmed. An Answer Wanted. Can any one bring us a case of Kidney or Liver Complaint that Electric Bitters will not speedily cure ?

To-night ' a crowd of people gathered at Hand cock Hall, filling it overflowing. The Reception Committee, accompanied by a band of music preceded Blaine Logan and Hale from the residence of the latter to the hall, where a grand reception was held, hundreds shak ing hands with the illustrious vis itors. At 9 the populace went tolgulf. the residence of Senator Hale, where Blaine and Logan were received with cheers. Mr. Hale, after brief remarks, pre sented the Hon. James G. Blaine, who said he had many causes for creat Gratitude to the people of Me., for many years for their friendly support and confidence, but he nev er was so profoundly touched as he had been by the manner in which he had recently been-received by all classes, and he might say all parties in the State of Maine, for he had to recognize besides the friendship of his own political associates the cour tesy and kindness manifested by those who had in the past been op posite to him politically. Whatever may be the issue of the pending campaign, of which it would indeed be unbecoming in him to speak, he could say that by the peo ple of Maine he has in this supreme crisis in his public career been al ready sustained in a manner that gives him intense satisfaction. Continuing, he said : "There is, after all, an embarrassment in addres sing those whom one has been asso ciated with for many long years on intimate teims. My esteem is not sufficiently developed to make me think this vast assemblage has come together so much to see me as my gallant associate on the regular Re publican ticket, General Logan. Asa final response and my thanks to your most generous attention, I will pre sent to you the gallant hero from Illinois. Loud cheers and ap plause. gen. Logan's remarks. Gen. Logan said : Ladies and gen tlemen, I am very much gratified in deed to meet so many citizens of this beautiful city to-night I have also been very much pleased in passing through" your proud State to find the kindly feeling that exists in re ference to your fellow citizen and neighbor, Mr. Blaine. Applause and cheers. It is said that a prophet it not without honor 6ave in his own coun try, but I must say that the reverse of this is true in Maine, concerning him of whom I have spoken. The people of this country, under one form of Government, have and claim the right to express their views on any question, and also to choose whom they wish to represent them in any capacity. This is true of the convention recently held in Chica go. No one doubts it gave expres sion to the voice of the people ia an nouncing in unmistakable terms that a citizen of your State is their choice for the highest office in their gift. Applause. To question this now is to say the majority shall not control, but that the minority shall dictate nominations. The people ot this country know what they want and also why they want. In my judgment they want a man capable of perlorming the duties ot the po sition intelligently ; a man who will understand the needs and wants of the a man who has knowledge of aud experience in connection with the affairs of the Government. They want a man who understands the diversified interests of this great people, and who will use all proper means for their protection and suc cess; a man who know? the wants of the masses and needs of the la borer, and will use all his power and lnlluence for those wants and inter ests ; a man that is conversant with our commercial relations with foreign nations, and a man that realizes that a creater outlet is needed lor our surplus products: a man who can and will in a proper manner estab lish relations belween our sister Republics of Mexico and South America that will enlarge our com merce with them : a man who un derstands what American manhood is, and who'will in a proper way make a citizen of the United States feel a pride in being a citizen, that he will receive proper protection both at home and abroad, My fellow citizens, the people of this country want a man that will not only support and sustain their Con stitution, but will faithfully and conscientiously execute the laws in all parts of the land. Applause and cheers Believ ing that American people want a man of the character I describe, I may now nay that such a man has been found in the person of James G. Blaine. Loud cheers. Fellow citizens, when the ides of Novem ber shall come, the people of this great Republican will give notice to the world that they have made him President of the United States. Great applause. I do not hesitate to say that I feel honored in being- associated with this, your honored citizen, on a ticket for the two high est officers in the gift of the Ameri can people. Great applause. Cnrtls and His Crowd. Nf.w York. June 20. The Inde pendent Republican organization committee, appointed yesterday by George William Curtis, met to-day and chose Mr. Curtis Chairman. It was decided to name the committee the "Independent Republican Com mittee. The following document was approved and will be circula ted throughout the country for sig natures : "The undersigned, protes ting against the nomination of Mr. Logan, propose to join their fellow Republicans and Independent .vo ters intending representatives to a general conierence to be held imme diately after the Democratic Conven tion, which conference shall consid er in case the Democratic nomina tions do not justify the support of protesting Republicans, what further action may be necessary to secure candidates who will appeal to the interests of clean and honest politics and the sober, honest sense of the American people." Injured by Dynamite. Washington, June 22. Last night an explosion of dynamite oc curred at Brady's Tunnel on the Hempfield extension of the B. & O. li, R., a mile .east of Washington. Two Irishmen, one of them named Roger Kane were seriously and like? jy ktally injured. A blast had been set and not going oil at the proper time the workmen entered the 4un nel to ascertain the cause of the de lay. Just as they reached the spot a concussion occurred. Kane's nose and cheekbone were broken, besides he lost one eye and was otherwise injured. The other party also had an eye destroyed aud was seriously cut and bruised about the body. . A Story From a Skeleton. Bi'ffalo, June 17. The Buffalo Field Club were enjoying a picnic Saturday at Pipe Creek Gulf, quite a picturesque spot about a mile East of the village of West Falls, fourteen miles from this city, when two or three of the boys in the party came across a human skeleton in & seclu ded spot on the East bank of the About three years ago John Mc Millan, a farmer, went to the black smith Ehop in West Falls to get some repairing done, and acciden tally left his pocket-book, contain ing nearly $70, lying on a bench in the shop. The blacksmith's boy found it and conveved the news to another boy, named Parker. They went to South Wales about five miles distant, and had a spree the next day ; but it was soon discover ed that the money belonged to Mc Millan, and part of it was returned to him. Threats of arresting the boys were made, and Parker's father and brother gave him a severe scolding. Young Parker was very nervous, and started toward tte woods and never returned. It is plain now that he deliberate ly committed suicide by hanging. The size of the skeleton corresponds with that of the boy, who was about 17 years old, and the old rope still hangs in the tree beneath which the body was found. A portion of the trousers still clung to the skele ton, 8 jack-knife and$l,G5 in uione7 were found in the pocket A pair of pearl cuff buttons were also found, which have been identified as the property of young Parker. A Farmer's Overpowering Ijove. Wilkes-Barre, June 17. Joseph Dymond, aged twenty eight, a far mer, living about eight miles from the city, committed suicide on Sun day evening by shooting himself through the heart with a double barrel breech-loading gun. His brother lives on the same farm with his wife and her sister. Rose Caven augh, a girl about eighteen. Dy mond was passionately in love with this girl, but his suit was encouraging by the other members of the family on Sunday, yielding to the wishes of her friends, Rose definitely refused to accept his advances. Dymond seemed to take it greatly to heart. He retired early, but about eleven o'clock arose, got his gun, and after loading both barrels, went in to the kitchen, and placing the muzzle to his left breast, pulled the trigger with his toe. The explosion awak ened the family, and his brother rushed into the room to find the un fortunate man lyins: in a pool of blood. lie had just strength enough left to raise himself in a sitting pos ture, and with the words "Rose, Rose," he fell over dead. filKBlning Strikes Oil.

Statement From lliester Friends. Clyiucr's Reading, June 19. Friends of the family of the late Hiester Clymer authorize the following statement relative to his death : "Mr. Clymer was in bad health, suffering from malaria, profuse night sweats and insomnia. He used narcotics in quantities which inordinary health would only have produced sound sleep, but which in his debilitated condition produced paralysis of the brain, and hurried his death. 1 here will be no judicial inquiry, and the body will not be exhumed.

One of the cowboys went out from the rest to meet this Indian and, when he goi near enough, pulled his sixshooter and fired at him. The Indian wa3 hit pretty badly, and dropped. He then raised himself to a sitting post ure and fired at the cowboy, whom he hit in the breast. The cowboy was fatally wounded, but while dy ing fired four or five shots into the Cree, who was killed.

The cowboys tried to storm their position, but the Indians were too well protected and kept them off". Finally they got away. A Lawyer's Opinion of Interest to all. J. A.

Seibert, aged 2-5, who was admitted to the Charity Hospital. February 91V died last evening of what the physicians diagnosed as leprosy, 1 event the patient nau prayeu some time. About a year gu n unmistakable symptoms of the terri ble diseaaf first appeared. Seibert had been engaged in hauling dead cattle to bone yards or fertilizer fac tories, and the disease was attributed to handling the carrion.
