DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
The Democratic State Convention for the nomina
tion of candidate: for the offices of Governor and
Judge of the Supreme Court, will meet at 12 o'clock
m. on Wednesday, July It, iB6O, In the Hall of Rep
reientatlvei at HarrDburg. By order of the Demo
cratic State Committee.
WM. A. WALLACE, Chairman.
DAVID CALDWELL, Secretary.
April 14, 1668.
Judge of the Supreme Court.
Amongst the names suggested for nom
ination as candidates for this oflice at the
ensuing Democratic State Convention, we
find in some of our exchanges that of R. B.
LITTLE Esq., of Montrose.
His legal attainments, together with his
reputation and standing in the profession
are favorably noticed, and mentioned in
terms of high commendation. How far his
location may be deemed appropriate, will
depend, to some extent, upon the choice
that shall be made in the selection of our
candidate for governor.
A well known Western Radical jour
nal says that "a whole heard of office beg
gars have returned from Washington with
faces as long as hog's snouts. One of them
swore that Johnson's Administration could
yet be considered respectable in compari
son with Grant's. —Another was furious at
Colfax, because he hadn't recognized him,
although before the election he had called*
him his best friend. A third cursed the
Yankees because they had gobbled up the
rich things and left uothing but crusts and
crumbs for the Western men." And so on
through the whole gamut of patriotic disap
pointment. The spectacle of so much hu
man suffering is truly sad to behold.
The Judiciary vs. the Legislature.
One of the most outrageous and disgrace
ful acts of the present infamous Legislature
was the hurried passage of the bill summa
rily abolishing the 29th Judicial District, of
Lycoming county, The Senate immediate
ly voted to repeal the act upon learning how
it had been snaked through, but the House
still refuses to do what is so plainly right
in regard to the matter. It is openly
charged, and cannot be successfully denied
that Peter Herdic, a man who has numer
ous heavy suits pending in the courts of
Lycoming county, has bribed the Judiciary
Committee of the House, and that it is thus
prevented from reporting a bill repealing
the odious enactment, which Geary sat up
until midnight to sign before the ink was
dry upon it.
In the meantime the Court met at W il
liamsport on Monday morning, and pro.
ceeded with its business as usual, the entire
bar of the city uniting in requestiouing
Judge Gamble to disregard the outrageous
and unconstitutional act of a corrupt Leg
islature. Mr. Peter Herdic, it is said, will
proceed with a writ of quo warranto, and,
if he does, the rascality which accompanied
this piece of special legislation from its in
ception to the moment ol its signature by
Geary at midnight, and the bribery which
prevented its repeal by the House will all
be brought to light before the Supreme
Court of the State. It may be that the fear
of exposure iu this way will induce the
House Judiciary Committee to report the
bill for repeal, and ensure its passage. If
it does not we shall look for some rare rev
alations when the case comes before the
Supreme Court. — Sunbury Dem.
Too Much. For Forney !
Our State Legislature must be a most
despicable thing, indeed. Even Forney of
the Press is disgusted with it. The job
bery, trickery and corruption practiced at
Harrisburg has become so gross and out
rageous in its character as to alarm the
most radical of the radical thieves. Hear
what the Press says of it :
"The time is drawing near when the
State legislature is expected to adjourn, and,
as it approaches, the people will begin to
inquire what has been done and what has
been left undone. The adjournment of
thin body will probably be a relief to the
State, whose sense of dignity, honor and
self-esteem has more than once been injur
ed by its proceedings. It is with no feel
ing of pleasure or satisfaction, certainly,
that we come to speak or write of the body
which has passed the Twelfth and Sixteen
street Railroad bill; which has dallied with
a negro minstrel company, and which, last
week, outraged propriety and the reputa
tion of the Commonwealth in the disgrace
ful "lemon" scene.
But to one thing we would call the atten
tion of the membera. Now that they have
had their firemen's ball, and their minds
are again turned to the affairs of the Com
monwealth, let them immediately take up
and repeal the bill abolishing the Twenty
ninth Judicial District, lately passed with
such clandestine and questionable haste.—
The Senate has already tardily vindicated it
self—let the House do likewise. The mem
bers probably cannot appreciate the damage
they have done the party by their action in
this case—to place the matter on higher
grounds. Every lawyer in the State repu
diates it and blushes at it Every Democrat
ic paper and orator, although keeping quiet
now, is treasuring up this record against us
in October. Let it be understood, without
equivocation, that repeal we must have."
new commandment is to love
Lia "friends" with all his mind and with all
hia office* and with all his soul and with all
his plunder and with all his strength, and
his "old neighbors" next to himself and
kin. Upon this hang all the brothers-in
law and the profits.
The Influence of Pretty Women in Wash
ington.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Republican writes as follows :
"But just so long as women are weak and
men are powerful, some of the evils of the
departments never will be remedied. It is
so much more comfortable to a jaded man,
worn out in the arduous duties as head of a
bureau, to see a fresh, young, pretty-faced
woman at an adjoining desk, rather than
one with all the sweet juices of life squeezed
ont of her, whether by age or misfortune, it
matters not which. The first one is the oil
of the machinery of every day life ; the lat
ter is the adhesive gum which needs clean
ing away. Women, who look with longing
eves to un active life in the Departments at
Washington, had better consult their mir
rors first, unless Secretary Boutwell makes
new laws to meet individual cases. It is
true, a few "crones" may be found in the
basement of the building, but as you ascend
into the upper realms of the castle, new
visions of beauty greet the eye until the
spectator is lost in a dazzling dream of en
chantment as glorious in its bewilderment
as a Turkish harem. In many cases these
handsome young women belong to Wash
ington families. They have good homes,
with the comforts of life, without paying
for them. This enables them to spend
their wages in the adornment of their per
sons. These are the girls whose lives Mrs.
Swisshelm so bitterly deplored. These are
the women who practice the Grecian bend
and who dot our avenues of a brilliant af
ternoon as the butterflies do the clover
heath. Petted darlings at home, petted
darlings at the Treasury, no wonder they
are spared their duties if they have a head
ache, or a new dress to make. No soldiers
widow or starving daughter of the lb-pub
lic can drive them from their warm nests,
for the reason "that a thingwif beauty is a
joy forever." Gen. Schenck says he has
tried in vain to get a place for a young girl
who had two brothers killed in the army,
and who lost her father also in the army.
There are other beautiful women there, the
mention of who.se names is enough to bring
the blush to every honest women's cheek,
some public man's pretty plaything, and
yet for such as those the widows and daugh.
ters of our noble soldiers must stand aside
and siug the "song of the shirt," or anoth
er quite as sad. Has the sun of another
day arised ? With trembling form and
bowed head we shall wait and sec."
OVER EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS IN BONDS AND CURRENCY STOLEN. —
One of the heaviest robberies ever perpe
trated in Philadelphia, was discovered
about four o'clock Sunday afternoon.—
The act was perpetrated at the office of the
Beneficial Saving fund Society of Phila
delphia, situated at the southwest corner of
Twelfth and Chestnut Streets. It appears
that the watchman left the premises about
six o'clock in the morning, after remaining
on duty during the night, and returned
about four o'clock in the afternoon, when
he found some difficulty in effecting an en
trance by the front door. He then gained
access to the upper part of the house, occu
pied as a photograph establishment, and
going down stairs at the rear of the build
ing, discovered that the back shutter had
been opened. He immediately gave the
alarm, and procuring the assistance of sev
eral individuals entered the office through
the window. On examining the premises
it was discovered that the large fire-proof
had been broken open, and a small fire
proof chest containing the valuable proper
ty of the institution taken out and also
opened, the contents being carried off by
the thieves.
The thieves no doubt had their plans well
matured, as they had with them heavy tim
bers, and all the implements necessary to
carry out their plan successfully. They ef
fected an entrance to the large fire-proof,
by boring into the lock and then pushing
the bolts back. In order to do this, they
first erected an upright out of heavy tim
ber, as a means of purchase for the screw,
and in this way, the front of the large iron
door was penetrated. Loose papers were
scattered all over the office, and the carjiet
was torn up in places, showing that the
thieves were active in their pursuit after
the plunder.
STICKING TO THE FAMlLY. —According to
what is going on in the Revenue Depart
ment it seems that Mr. Commissioner
Delano, like President Grant, proposes to
carry out the scriptural injunction to the
letter regarding his own family, and, as far
as the machine has been reconstructed, the
account stands thus : Columbus Delano,
Commissioner, salary SGOOO ; Smith, De
lano's old law partner, Solicitor of the Bu
reau, salary 84000 ; John Delano, son of
the Commissioner, Chief Clerk, salary
S'2ooo ; Clarke, brother-in-law of young
Delano, and son-in-law to Father Delano,
Clerk, salary 81000 It is evidently a good
thing to belong to the Delano family.
THE TKNUBE OF OFFICE BlLL. —After
nearly a month spent iu wrangling over
the tenure of office bill, the Radicals have
"agreed to disagree." Some little equivo
cation and change of phraseology has been
resorted to, but substantially the repeal of
the tenure of office law has lieen defeated.
The text of the law as it now stands retains
the following, the Senate thus triumphing
and the House repealers being defeated :
"That any person holding any civil
office to which he has been or may be here
after appointed, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, and who shall have
become duly qualified to act therein, shall
be entitled to hold such office during the
term for which he shall have been appoint
ed, unless sooner removed by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, or by the
appointment, with the like advice and con
sent, of a successor in his place, except as
herein otherwise provided."
Iky-It is thought by some that Grant
will soon assume au imperial title, and
play the despot right.
THE MURDERESS, TWIICREX.L AND
EATON.
Twitchell Commita Suicide—Eaton ia
Hung.
George S. Twitchell Jr. and Gerald Ea
ton quit the world, but not in company.—
Twitchell died at 4 o'clock last Thursday,
in his cell, and by his own hand. Eaton
expiated the crime of which he had been
convicted, upon the scaffold at 12.50
MINCING MATTERS.
Eaton is reported to have said, recently,
that he did not mirul being hung, but dis
liked the idea of bciug hung by the side of
such a hypocrite as Twichell. Twitchell
was more generous, in word if not in heart.
While he apparently did not regard the
Sompanionship of Eaton on the fatal trap
as increase the ignominy of
his death, he expressed his joy, a few days
ago, at hearing that there was some hope
of a respite for his condemned companion.
THE LAST EFFORT AT SALVATION.
Twitchell had not been a politician.—
Therefore it was necessary that he should
resort to some startling trick to cheat the
King of Terrors out of a part of the prey
allotted him by the courts. The sensation
al "confession," with all its improbabili
ties and incongruities, was kept back until
but live days remained to him as the time
within which he must succeed in pervert
ing the sympathy of the public, or else die
the death the law had decreed. It was a
sad thing for a man to attempt to fasten an
infamous crime upon the name of the wo
mon whom he had sworn to love, cherish
and protect; and yet it must be done—not
that he might give the halter the slip, but
that a man about to be ushered into eter
nity might make his peace with God ! Of
course such a thunder bolt from a cloud
j less sky served to startle, perhaps to amaze,
| the world ; but it failed to frighten any
j body. And having thus failed utterly to
i avert one jot or tittle of his approaching
| fate, he did not scruple to place his spirit -
j ual adviser in a very ugly position, by sub
i sequentlv asserting that the document had
been sent to the newspapers "against his
desire and consent."
i On the contrary, Eaton had been a pol
itician of some note, and although stoutly
asserted his innocence from tirst to bust,
his friends chose rather to rely upon polit
ical machinery to secure a mitigation of
the severity of his punishment. Within
three days of the time, appointed for his
death, the time-honored appliances were
brought to bear, and with marvellous ra
pidity—one of the elegant arts of Harris
burg legislation—an act was pushed through
both houses conferring upon the Governor
the power to commute a sentence of death
into one of imprisonment for life or for a
term of years. Wednesday it was tele
graphed from the capital that the Governor
would certainly sign this law without delay
and avail himself of its provisions to rescue
Eaton from death. But the Governor
turned over the proposed statute to his
Attorney-General for his legal scrutiny,
and finally, late at night, announced that
in neither case would he interfere with the
due coursfc of the outraged law. Thus ex
pired the last hope of Eaton.
The doomed man listened attentively to
the fatal intelligence, and wheu its full
force had broken upon his mind, he ex
claimed :
"All right! "
Then the philosophy which Twitchell
had failed to cultivate came to his aid, and
after a short silence he said :
! "Tell my friends," running over the
uames of a few of them, "tell my friends
j that I am very grateful for what they have
done for me, and they will have no cause
to be ashamed of me, for I will die like a
man."
EVIDENCE OF POISON,
i The appearance of the body indicated
I that death had certainly ensued from strych
i nine, or some other powerful mineral pois
j on. The face presented a livid appear
i ance, eyes and mouth wide open. The
limbs were perfectly straight, and the hands
were slightly contracted, showing that
there had been slight spasms.
The piece of liquorice which wan picked
up by Deputy Coroner Fletcher evidently
contained the fatal drug, which had been
I placed in a cavity made for the purpose.
' TWITCHELL SIGNIFIES HIS INTENTION TO COM
MIT SUICIDE.
About half past C o'clock Wednesduy
afternoon, Eaton went to the door of his
cell and succeeded in attracting the atten
tion of Twitchell, to whom he said, sub
stantially :
"Bear up and die like a man to-morrow,
as I intend to do."
In answer to this, Twitchell shook his
head demurely, held up his thumb and
forefinger, as if he had something like a
pill between them, and said simply :
"Mum's the word !"
Twitchell had previously insisted, on
frequent occasions, that he could commit
suicide, and could not be prevented from
doing so. On one occasion he had explain
ed to one of the keepers how he could read
ily take his own life by placing a pin at
the back of his neck, and then, by thrust
ing his hand back upon it forcibly, drive it
in up to the head, producing instant
death.
Therefore, when Eaton, about 10 o'clock
; in the evening, called a passing keeper to
i him and told him of the incident which
; had taken place between the two, remark
i ing that "he could not die composedly
, without putting them on their guard," it
i was deemed advisable to institute a search
I of the cell and person of T tritchell.
This was done by the prison officials,
but nothing of an apparently dangerous
j character was discovered.
BATON'S LAST HOURS.
Shortly after midnight Eaton was left
alone. During the evening, Fathers lieilly
and O'Barony passed a portion of the even
ing with him. He appears to have slept
quite soundly, and without disturbance,
until 5 o'clock in the morning, when he
was awakened by the keeper, who a few
minutes subsequently made the discovery
of Twitchell's death.
About half past eight o'clock he received
a parting visit from several of his nearest
relatives—his wife, brother-in-law, sister-in
law, and a little girl of eight or nine years
whom he had adopted' as his own child.—
The interview with these was very affecting
and when they left him he is said to have
been deeply moved. Ilis spiritual advisers
were then admitted, and remained with him
until the next turn in the solemn prepara
tions for the closing scene.
About 10 the rosary was recited by Fath
er Beilly, in presence of Joseph R. Chan
dler, Esq., one of the prison imqieetors,
and another gentleman possessing the same
faith with tlm condemned man. Eaton en
tered into these services with great earnest
ness, making the responses—which he had
thoroughly committed to memory—in a
clear and distinct tone, and appearing fully
to realize the solemnity of the occasion and
of the services.
Under the guidance of his spiritual ad
vers he had been faithful and zealous in
observing the requirements of the Church,
and was prepared to meet his fate with all
Christian fortitude.
In the interval between the religious ex
ercises he conversed freely and unreserved
ly with several persons who were admitted
to see him, part of the time throwing him
self back in his cliair, as he smoked a cigar
mid at others walking up and down the
cell, not altogether at his ease.
EATON'S STATEMENT.
Eaton assured his friends that he never
fired the pistol, but that it was taken from
his pocket by another person who is now at
large, and fired at Hecnan. He further
states : "The night was dark and rainy,
and you couldn't see a mau right in front
of you. It was a regular drunken row.—
Ten shots were tired in quick succession,
and yet their eyes were so sharp that they
detected the very shot which killed Heenan
—the fourth that was fired —and swore that
I tired it. They swore that I fired that
shot down the street, while the murdered
mau was standing on the pavement four
houses uj) the street from me. Tic- man
that took the pistol from me is now walk
ing the streets of Philadelphia. A man
was standing by me all this time, and
could have testified for me, but they in
dieted him as au accessory, to keep liirn off
the stand, and then discharged him."
A Negro Official Lionized in Washington
He sleeps with a White Senator.
The negro Lieutenant Governor of
Louisiana has been to Washington, to see
the sights, and was welcomed with open
arms by the Mongrel leaders there. He
held levees in both halls of Congress, and
was introduced to the Radical members
separately. The Washington correspon
dent of the Baltimore Sua thus describes
tho reception of the colored gentleman :
"The colored Lieutenant Governor of
Louisiana was upon the tloor of Congress
some time to-day. While in the Senate
quite a iuunl>er of Senators went up and
spoke to him. Mr. Wilson went over to
Senator Garrett Davis and proposed to pre
sent him to the distinguished colored indi
vidual, hut Mr. Davis good humoredly de
clined.- Mr. Duuu is copper colored, of
line proportions, and very respectable
looking, with an intelligent cast of features,
and is said to speak French and English
fluently. He was attired in a plain suit of
black, with kid gloves, the color of his
skiu. Amongst others who talked to him
were ex-Attorney General Evarts, Lathrop
Motley and Lyman Tremaiu. Since he
has l>een in the city it is said that Gov.
Duuu has roomed with one of the Louisi
ana Senators, wnioh has had the effect to
cause certain other parties who were stop
ping at the same house to leave. Senator
Sumner took pains to pay him particular
attention to-day.
After satisfying himself with the Senate,
the Lieutenant Governor strolled over to
the House of Representatives, and was
there also received with open arms. Occu
pying a position in the northwest corner of
the hall with Senator Cameron, who came
over from the Senate with him, Mr. J. 11.
Sypher acted as usher, aud one by one
marched the Republicans up and intro
duced them. The Lieutenant Governor
seemed to appreciate the situation, and as
he stood there his tall and commanding
figure toweriug above all who were intro
duced to him. Some of the intense Radi
cals were very obsequious, but others of
the Republicans walked up with au appa
rent reluctance, and left us soon as they
had shaken hands with their guest. Others
seemed particularly anxious to attract at
tention to the vast amount of respect they
were disposed to show him."
While tho scramble for office is wa
ging terribly, we will cast a glance at the
condition of the treasury from whence tlie
spoil is to come. The following statement
shows the amount of the national debt at
different periods and the interest. A radi
cal Congress is responsible for this great
increase of burthens upon the people in
times of peace:
May 1, 1868, §2,500,528,827
June 1, 1868 2,510,245,885
August 1, 1868 2,523,534,480
September 1,1863, 2,535,614,313
October 1, 1868, 2,534,643,718
November 1, 1868, 2,527,120,552
December 1, 1868, .2,539,031,844
January 1, 1869, 2,540,707,201
February 1,1869, *. .2,556.205,658
March 1, 1869 2,545,338,90#
On the first of next May a large amount
of interest on the public debt falls due, and
some thirty or more millions of dollars in
gold will have to be promptly paid out to
the bondholders. When that little account
is settled we cuu balance the books, and
see how we stand. The debt statement to
be made the first of next June will be look
ed for with interest by the toiling tax-pay
era of the nation.
| The Last President of the United States
Iu 1862, a gentleman, then, bnt not now,
j a resident of Chester county, paid a visit to
! Wheatland, Ikin. county. He said on re
ceiving the hospitalities of Mr, BUCHANAN,
that "he had come to pay his resiects to
the last President of the United States." To
u pointed negative from the Ex-President,
he replied--"I am firmly convinced that
America lias seen its last Republican Presi
dent in the person of JAMES BUCHANAN."
Whatever may have prompted the re
mark, so far it has proved prophetic. We
have had no President of the United States
since that period. The original thirteen are
not now united. The administration of
ABM. LINCOLN commenced with acknowl
edged usurpations upon the Constitution'
which was the bond of Union, and it closed
leaving the country governed, not by the
Constitution and civil law, but by a tyran
nical " military necessity."
His successor, ANDREW JOHNSON, made
effort, but failed to restore the Union and
civil rule. The despotic twv-thirds of the
Senate and House, wedded lo pltinder, rob
bery aud corruption, were too strong for
him, and endeavored to parcipitate the
country into anarchy or despotism.
PRESIDENT GRANT, entered upon the du
ties of Executive officer nominully. He is
shorn of many of the high duties and re.
RpOnsibilities of his office, and, however
brave as a soldier, he manifests cowardice
or senility as a civilian. He is emphatically
a tool of the money-power of the country ;
aud his cupidity leads him to imagine him
self a Ciesar.
The rapid progress made in the destruc
tion of the Republic, has emboldened the
bondholders, who hope to secure unlimited
sway, and they hav<j started a leader in New
York.
It will be seen that Radicalism has at last
made its appearance without disguise. The i
time was when advocating a monarchy in
this country would scarely be tolerated.
But that was when the people were Demo
cratic and put their trust in the wisdom of
that great aud old party organization :
The first number of "The Imperialist"
makes its appearance to-day. It advocates
the abrogation of a republican of democratic
form of government for the United States
and the substitution of a monarchy, on the
assumption that the former is a failure.
The name of the editor or publisher does
not appear on the imprint. The leading
article declares that "the paper has been es
tablished to give expression to opinions
long held and cherished, by thousands of in"
telligeut men and women in all parts of the
country, who will hail its advent as the be
ginning of a new era in the political bisto.
ry of America." It is iu form quarto, con
taining sixteen pages. The title is orna
mented with a crown.— Jefferson ian.
A WHITE GIRL STOLEN ITR A NEGRO MAN.
—Mr. Alexander Carson, a respectable far
mer living in Talbot county, Md., near
Hillsborough, came to Eastern ou Friday
night, in search of his daughter, who had
mysteriously disappeared from her father's
house on Thursday night. We learn the
following facts in connection with the mat
ter : A mulatto man named John Hall
sometime ago was lodgyd in jail by officer
Dillon for gamljing, Mr. Carson bailed
him out, and took him to work on his farm.
Since then his daughter, who is nearly
grown up, has been teaching him how to
read and write, in consideration for which
service lie has been practicing his arts on
his innocent and unsuspecting preceptress,
to indnce her to leave her home and follow
him tu the city. On Fridry at noon, they
both took passage at Miles River Ferrv for
Bultimore on the steamer Isaac Pi Smith.
It is said that the negro's mother lives iu
Baltimore. It is needless to say, the voting
girl's family are in great distress about her.
She is a bright, intelligent girl, and it is a
great pity that she should be ruined iu this ;
disgraceful maimer .—Eastou Sl>r.
Mr. Carson is a former citizen of Dela
ware, having moved to Talbot about two
years since. His daughter will be 13 years
old sometime in April. Denton Union.
P. Since tha above was in type both
parties hat e been arrested. They were
found in Baltimore and brought over on
Wednesday. The negro was placed in jail,
and the girl returned to her phrents.
Grant is credited with the fol.
lowing remark upon the threatened Indian
war in Alaska :
I've been thinking about that country a
good deal. The newspapers sav we are in
danger of an Indian war up there. I think
I've settled on a plan for stopping that. If
one breaks out, 1 believe I will withdraw all
the troops, and then there won't be any
thing there for the Indians to fight.
And Radical papers oopy this as an evi
dence of wonderful sagacity—never stop
ping to think that the same principle is
quite applicable to the South, and that if
the South is "disturbed." and if the Ku-
Klux-Ivlnns are rampant things in that sec
tion would be far more quiet if the troops
were withdrawn, and especially if such
troops as Brownlow's malitia in Tenn. and
Clayton's militia iu Ark. were disbanded.
APPOINTING NEGROES TO OFFICE. —Two
out of five Justices of the Feace, just ap
pointed in Washington City, are negroes
B. F. Joubert, a negro, has been appointed
Assessor of Internal Revenue for the First
District of Louisiana, and C. M. Welder,
another negro, has been made Postmaster
at Columbia, South Carolina. There can
be 11 0 pretence that competent white men
could not have been found to fill all these
offices. A gallant white Uuiou soldier, who
fought through the whole war was un ap
plicant for the Columbia postoffiee. Ne*
groes were chosen because the Radicals nre
determined to enforce the fanatical ideas of
equality between the two races.
REJOICING. —The Rads are rejoicing be
cause tltev saved theip "jewel!" ih Connec
ticut, on Monday last. They expect de
feat in even their strong-holes, and when
disappointed they are as tickled as a New
Orleans darkie climbing a lamp post to eus
his first vote.
