We notice a typographical error in the announcement by friend Rogers, of. McKean, by which the meeting of the JodioiarCdnTer ence is pat on the 13 th. The .Tioga.conferees will be at Coadersport Monday-evening, 11th prox., and tbe 'Judicial Conference will proba bly he held in the forenoon of the next day. If harmony and good feeling give evidence of health and vigor, the proceeding of the. Co nvention of last Friday must go far to establish the repute of Tioga county for sound political health and an unimpaired Constitution. In composition, intelligence, temper, and business capacity, it is the universally expressed opin ion that it took precedence of-all' its predeces sors in this county. Its unanimity was deci dedly marked, all its nominations, save two, being by acclamation. Of Hon. H. W. Wuiuxa, the nominee for Additional Daw Judge of this Judicial Dis trict, we can repeat tbs favorable mention we have heretofore made. His talents and attain ments are of a high order and undisputed wjjerever he is known. We learn from mem bers of the bar, and others, residing in the counties composing the western portion of the district, in which he held the May term courts, that be displayed unusual qualifications and fitness for the high position, and gave marked satisfaction in the discharge of ita duties. This’ is, perhaps, the highest praise that can be spo ken for a candidate j and we choose to regard it as an omen of unanimity in the Conference te meet 'on the 12th of September, pros., at Oondersport. . • Da. Wji. T. Hdhphret, the nominee for Assembly; is well and favorably known as a skillful and popular physician in this county. He.is not less favorably known in that portion of the Army of the Potomac composed of the famous Pennsylvania Deserves. He entered the service on the breaking oat of the warns Surgeon of the “ Old Bucktails," and rose so rapidly in reputation in the Surgeon-General’s Office that be was promoted to the position of a Medical Director,-wbieh position filled with credit up to the time of hie honorable dis charge hut a few months prior to the collapse of the rebellion. Dr. Humphrey is a'man of . strong, practical mind, and will reflect credit upon the choice of the people of his district. J. B. Nius, Esq., our candidate for District Attorney, is so well and favorably known as the'present incumbent of that office; as well as one of the most industrious and talented mem bers of the Tiog9J}a_r,jthftt.jfjjtther mention is needless. He has come np from the ranks by dint of excellent natural abilities; disciplined by unremitting effort and a perseverance that deserves, and will receive, recognition. Mr. C. F. Miller, nominee fof Treasurer, has served nearly a term on the Board of Com missioners, with-decided credit and popularity. As ha'has proved faithful and' efficient in the office 1 ne now fills,'the people can ask no better evidence of Ms‘fitness and capability for the Jrust he is named. . - Mr. D. L. Aiken, nominated for Auditor for three years, is a thorough business man, a first-rate accountant, as well as an excellent ~ citizen. In this case the office sought the man, literally. ! Hr. Cbab. S/Veil, unanimously nominated for Auditor forxme year, is so -well and favora bly known to the people of this bounty that to enumerate his excellences as a citizen and on oMcer would bo' a work of supererogation. He has served on the Board of Auditors near- Jy ten years consecutively, and always at a sacrifice. A man of cuitnre and superior tal ents, he is worthy of the best plaoe in the gift of the people of tbe county. He'was nomina ted first, as last, without solicitation on his part,, but because of his known fitness and in tegrity. • - . • i. Mr. Dabics L.

In Justice to the Un ion State ticket we must repeat our majority of last, fall- Our opponents are sleepless. The hour when Republicans can safely sit down and wait for success has not arrived, labor and sleepless vigilance, unconquerable love of Right and hatred of Wrong—these are the on ly safeguards of civil liberty Perhaps the most laughable instance of self stultification on record is that which-may-be found in the nominations of tbe Copperhead State Convention, held at Harrisburg last Thursday. That Convention nominated as it» . candidate for Auditor General, Col. W. H. H. Davis, of Bocks county. Now the Copperhead party of Pennsylvania from the.beginning of the war-for national ex istence has persistently declared, that the war was begun and waged as “an Abolition War," cruel, unnecessary, destructive of civil liberty, and.in manifest violation of the Constitution. • Now Col. Davis has been an active partici pant in this “ Abolition war;” this war upon civil liberty ; this war upon the Constitution ; this cruel, relentless persecution of the South; this £to quote from the Chicago platform) “four -years of failure." The question now arises: Is the nomination of Col. W. H. H. Davie,'the active partieipa .tor,inj“ an abolition war,” -Ac., Ac., to bej- ta ken as . a recognition of, "and a reward for hie patriotic services; or is it strategy, of the G. B. McClellan order ; ot is it the effect of the sudden, unlocked for, and andesired collapse of the rebellion? Which? Bat fee forget ; the Democracy, like the Ethi op and the leopard, change not. They still regard the war as a'feilute, an abolition war, a war upon Constitutional rights'; and so re garding it they nominate one of “ Lincoln's hirelings” to lead their State ticket 1 - What delicate sarcasm 1 ■ It reminds us of the rats and the meal-tub; the only difference being,-that when you take Col. Davis off. the ticket you will find, not the canning old cat, but that same venomous old shake that crawled into his bole when Lee sur rendered. ' i It'won't do, gentlemen ; the trick is too thin The Jersey Shore Herald republishes ah old and abandoned quibble on the word “ loyal." The editor fortifies the quibble by asserting that the meaning of the word cannot have un dergone change. The meaning of all defini tive terms always is modified by circumstan ces of condition and application. Thus, a cit izen of the United States is loyal to the gov ernment; a British subject is loyal to the Qneen. Again—a Herald was originally the month-piece of a king, or emperor; whereas, the Jersey Shore Herald seems to be but the mouthpiece of Messrs. Piatt & Gamble, nei ther of whom can be called king, or sovereign.. We venture so much for the information of the editor of the Herald. No charge. Letter from Horace Greeley. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, feeling somewhet concerned about the stories relating to Mr. Greeley’s status in the-Tribune, wrote to the veteran inquiring about it. His reply is characteristic and is as follows: New York, August 4th. Fbuhd Reid ; Thank y6u for yonraof the 3d. Your inquiries are laughable. The facts are these: i We elect an editor of the Tribune annually by a stock vote (one hundred shares one vote each.) Once, many years ago, two votes were oast against me for editor—none before nor since. I have never heard that any stockholder de sired my withdrawal fromthe Tribune. I mean to reduce my work on it at the ear liest moment, and have so stated to all who have a right to know. lam overwhelmed with labor. I grow old, and want rest ancLoomfort. My idea is to get somebody else to. take the laboring oar, receive the kicks and cuffs, and let me farm a little, travel a little, fish some, and write when in the spirit. Such is my dream. I bops to realize at least a part of it during the year 1866, but I may not till some time later. Yon know how circumstances con trol everything. \ At present I am writing about an average of two columns per day for the- Tribune—too much; 1 mean to writs lees whenever, lean. That's all I know about the matter. Per haps they know more at the Herald office. - - Vol, 11., I grieve to say, does not get on eo fast as it should.

To a call made Cor a Convention in Scott County, about * dozen responded, and four of those were Secessionists.. The proportion is about thesame in other counties where Conventions have been held. . The Mississippi Convention adjourned sine die on the 24th inst. Previous to adjournment a telegram wes received from President Johnson, congratulating the members on their progress in the work of restoration. Judge E. S. Fish er was then nominated for Governor. The friends of Alexander H. Stephens, now in confinement in Fort Warren, are making strenuous endeavors to secure his pardon and release.

Deane was nominated for the office of County Surveyor by acclamation. . ‘ Mr. S. B. Elliott from the Commrtee on res olutions! made the following report, which was oonsidsred and unanimously adopted : The Committee on Resolutions beg leave to make the following Report -. The Resolutions passed by the Union State Convention, lately sitting at Harrisburg, meeting with the appro val of, this Committee, wb would reccommend this Convention to adopt the same, —which are as-follows: ■ The Union Party of Pennsylvania, in State Convention assembled, declare. First. That as representatives of the loyal people of this Commonwealth, we reverently desire to offer oar gratitude to Almighty God, whose favor has vouchsafed victory to the Na tional arms,‘enabled ns to eradicate the crime of- slavery from our land, to render treason against the Republic impossible for evermore, and next to Him, oar thanks are due, and are hereby tendered to our brave soldiers and sai lors, who, by their endurance, sacrifices and il lustrious heroism, have secured to their country peace, and to the down-trodden everywhere on asylum of liberty; who have shown that the war for the restoration of the Union is not a failure, and whose valor baa proven for all time the faot that this Government of the people, by the people, for the people, is os invincible in Its strength as it bos been efficient in its oper ation*. Seo'pnd. That, revering the memory of Abra ham Lincoln, the great martyr of liberty, we cannot show greater honor to his name than by a generous support of his fellow patriot' and successor, Andrew Johnson, the President of the United States, who has been called to com plete the task he bad left unfinished. His un bending patriotism in the past is a sure guaran ty that in the momentous future the authority of the Government will be upheld and the rights and liberties of all the citizens of the Republic secured. < ; . ■ - Third.; That the mild and generous method of reconstruction offered by the President (o the people lately in-rebellion, in the judgment of this Convention, has not been accepted in tbe spirit of honest loyalty and gratitude ; but •with such evidence of defiance and hostility as to compel us to the conviction that they cannot safely be entrusted- with the political rights which they forfeited by their treason until they have proved their acceptance of the result of the wat,.byco-.operationin constitutional pro visunsv.and giving to all men within their bor ders their inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the-pursuit of happiness. Fourth. Thut having conquered the rebel- Tioua-States-they should" lv« held in subjection. and the treatment they are to receive and the laws which are to govern them should be re ferred to tbe law-making power of the nation, to which it legitimately belongs. Fifth. That as the lute Rebellion was wan tonly precipitated by the property ’holders of tbe South, it is but just that they should pay tbe expenses of the war, and Congress should declare as forfeited and vested in the .Govern ment the property of all Rebels whose estates exceed ; 4he-som of ten thousand dollars; and that the proceeds of tbe property so confisca ted should be applied to increase tbe pensions of those entitled thereto by the casualties of the war, to pay tbe damages done by the enemy to loyal citizens, and to'reduce tbe burden of the national debt. . . : T Sixth. That it is the duty of Congress so to revise the revenue laws as to afford increased protection to American industry, to secure the development of the industrial wealth'of tbe people, to render-labor profitable and remunera tive, to build-.up" a homo market for our agrionl.-, turists, to attract capital .to tbe mineral fields of the country, and to provide revenue for the maintenance of tbe public credit; and this Convention J’e cognizes the-chief enemy to' a policy of protection in that European power which’for four years has famished piratical vessels-of war to tbe Rebels, and thus endeavor ed to drive our commerce from the seas. Seventh. That any attempt by foreign nar' (tons to establish a monarchical government on this continent is evidence 1 of a design to des troy republican institutions; Regard for our own safety and for the'foture -security of tbe Republic demands that no such attempt shall succeed. Eighth. That it is the duty of Congress to, secure the-full Federal bounty to.all honorably! discharged soldiers, irrespective of the date of* their enlistment. Ninth. -That we recognize in Edwin M. Stanton, the fearless, honest, and able bead of the Department of War, a public servant who has deserved well of his country, and has borne' himself so clear in his great office as to merit the earnest gratitude' of ell loyal men? aod we tender to.him, and to bis distinguished col-' leagues in the Cabinet, our thanks fur their valuable services in the. cause of liberty 'and law. j Tenth. That the constant devotion of - Gov-: ernor Curtin to the best interests of the State' and nation during the last four years, and his! indefatigable efforts on all occasions to pay the just debt bf'gratitade we owe oarnational de fenders, not, merely by words but also by deeds, 1 entitles him to the thanks of every loyal 'biti . sen of, Pennsylvania. : 1 Eleventh. That this Convention, represent . log the loyal people of Pennsylvania, recognize the claims of our citizen soldiers on .our con- ; fidence and gratitude, and that in nominations for offices an especial regard should be paid to the claims of those wbo have faithfully served tbeir country in the army or qary in the sup- 1 pression of the Rebellion. ' '' , Twelfth. That the leader* of, the Democrat ic party stand arraigned before -tbs people of Pennsylvania for constantly obstructing the efforts of the constituted authorities to maintain the life of the Republic. They did this by in flaming the passions of their ignorant followers against, the legally elected officers of the Fed eral-Government, and refraining from all re proaches against treason or armed traitors; by procuring a decision from the Democratic Judges of our Supreme Court denying tbe rigbt of the' Government to tbs services of the citizens of this State for the defence of their imperiled country; by discouraging men from volunteer ing into the armies of the Union, thus render ing it necessary to succumb to treason or pay large bounties, and so burdening every ward, township and borough in the State with debt to fill the ranks of our armies; by opposing the enlistment of negroes for our defense, al-" though one white man less was required for every black one wbo could be enlisted, and this at the very moment when the battle of Gettys-, burg was raging on the soil of Pennsylvania, and’(he result of that decisive battle was un-! certain ; by denying to oar soldiers the right to vote while fighting for the flag of our fathers,' on the plea thatsuch rights wert not allowed by our Constitution, and by opposing an amend ment which removed their objections and ex empted, our brave soldiers from this disabili ty ; by exaggerating the public indebtedness, denying.tha public credit, and teacbicg...that the resources of the North were unequal to the. suppression of the Rebellion ; by a shameful 1 opposition to measures extending relief to the families of Union soldiers, and by a malignant effort by these means to insure the success of the Rebels in the field, or such a protraction of the war as would exhaust the nalien in its, effort to subdue their Wends ; by now heaping! •abuse upon the Government for punishing ass-! assins and tbeir accomplices; by demanding, the reieasejof leading traitors; by frowning' down all attempts to bring to punishment the fiends who starved our soldiers, and by assur ing Rebels.that neither in person or property shall they be punished for their crimes. And, if anything were wanting to complete their, imfamy, we have Jt in their determined oppo-. sition to free labor, and.to a tariff which, while! it would make labor profitable by protecting the working men of Pennsylvania from Britisb cumpetition, would largely increase the revenue essential to the maintenance of public faith and cyedit. That in addition to the above we recom mend the following; That the voting popu lation of a County should determine the amount of its representation in a Political conference.

Y.,j Seminary, is a graduate of one of tbs beat New York Colleges, and has already earntd s wide and favorable reputation aa an Instructor and Disciplinarian. Bis varied experience of firs years In prominent schools of New-York has eminently 'fitted him for tbe responsible position which hs is about to occupy. /* Uo Is a thorough-going scholar, and has had «au* buql good iuocwi as a Teacher.”— Prof, FW, Elmir a FtmaU Colltgt, Miss Sabas A. Vajc Alls*, Preceptresaand Teach er of Common and Higher English. Miss F. J. Hoz.la.sD, Vice-Preceptress, is a grade ate of the Elmira Female Academy, in which Inetini tion she gained a high reputation for accurate and thorough scholarship. The Principal of tie Academy *aya of her: “Mias H. is a young woman of the very best qualifications for the teachers' work, and she possesses, in addition, what is as available aa it I* rare, great enthusiasm and lore for the service.” Mrs. ’Juliet Sherwood and MisssH. W. Todd, both experienced teachers will be connected with the Acad* emy and give instruction in Vocal and Instrumental Musio. Mrs. Mast Brtdds will teach Drawing and Paint* ing, both in oil and water colors. Music will be taught at the residences of the teach* ers, or at the booses'of the pupils having instruments and residing in Wellsboro, as may be desired, and each pupii will be left perfectly free to select her own teacher, the Principal not at all interfering in that branch. Mrs. Bryden will also occupy a studio in her own bouse, separate and apart from the Academy build ings. . Mr. Van Allen is a graduate of one of the beat and most practical of the New York Colleges, Is an expe rienced and seeceasfnl teacher, a man of great energy of character, and will make the Academy a working Institution. Mias Van Alien is a teacher also of large experi ence, baa,always been successful in her vocation, is well qualified for the position of Preceptress, and will no doubt, be an able adjunct to her brother, tht Principal, in the well ordering and government of tbs School, . Miss Holland is a young lady uf great force and earnestnses of character, a graduate of a first class Female Seminary, in which she took a high ranks* s student and has bad some experience In teaching. Of Mrs. Sherwood and Miss Todd nothing need be said to the citizens of Wellsboro. They are too will known here as excellent teachers as well as excellent women to need any endorsement by the trustees. To those coming from abroad, we will, however, say that they will justify any confidence that may be plaosd in them, both as teachers and Christian ladies. All that is said above may also be raid of Mr*. Bryden. She-is a woman of excellent taste, hat had experience in teaching and is devoted to Painting as an art. She has now a plats at her awn bouse. The School will bo opened on THURSDAY, the 7th day of September. • , J.L. ROBINSON, Pres't,! ' 1 WILLIAM BAOHB, f- -- JOHN R. BOWEN, <• Trustees. LETT I. NICHOLS, | J. EMERY, Secretary.
