To CORRESPONDENTS.—AsS we were
absent the greater part of the last two
weeks, we ask pardon from correspon-
dents for any seeming neglect on our
part, during the time. We find an
unusual nunber of communications on
hand which it is now to late to publish
this week, and such as will not become
stale by being deferred will appear
next week.
The Judgeship—C. A. Mayer the
Nominee.
The democratic confrees of this judi-
cial district, met again at Clearfield on
Tuesday of last week without making
a nomination. Judge Barret would
not pledge himself to abide by the de-
cision of the conference, whereupon
the conferees of Center and Clinton
counties withdrew, to meet at Belle-
fonte vn Thursday evening 3rd, when
Charles A. Mayer received the nomi-
nation, by Mr. Orvis declining to be a
candidate any longer. Perfect har-
mony existed, and the termination of
the matter was to the satisfaction of
Mr. Orvis as well as of Mr. Mayer.
—e eet
Charles A. Mayer—our Nominee for
Judge.
As will be seen in another article,
Charles A. Mayer is the regular nomi-
nee of the Democracy for President
Judge of this judicial district.
Mr. Mayer is already known either
persenally or by reputation, to the
people of Centre county; his reputa-
tionas a lawyer has been abroad for
years; he is the most prominent lawyer
at the Lock Haven bar, and he stands
second to none in central Pennsylva-
nia. No one doubts his ability to
make a good judge, and no one can
call in question his character. He isa
man of the strictest honor and integ-
rity, and Clinton county has no citizen
who is more respected for these qualities
than our nominee, Charles A. Mayer.
He has been a life-long Democrat, but
it is mot on that score that we ask
Democrats to stand by hin to a man,
as we wish to keep a question of this
kind, as free as possible from politics ;
but, with this good trait he combiness
eminent fitness for the position, and is
thereby tio proper person whom Demo-
crats should vote for.
Wehope that not a single Demo-
crat will be led to cast his vote for an
uulependent candidate--half renegade.
—When we have men in our ranks
fit for position, and such receive the
party nomination, every good Demo-
crat will stand by the choice of his
party. Mr Mayer has the highest
qualifications for the bench, which none
cw gainsay, let him, therefore, alse
reccive the highest vote the party can
poll.
Juidze Barrett an Independent
Candidate.
The fears which we exprssed in a
recent number of the Reporter, that
Judge Barrett was playing foul, are
now fully confirmed. Nr. Barrett, at
the meeting of the conferees in Clear-
field, last week, refused to pledge him-
self to abide by the decision of the
conference, in which he had all along,
throgch his conferces, taken a part.
Loner he was bound so to do, or
«o into conference at all. He
ple, determined to be a candidate,
sominaied or not nominated. We
ope after such conduct on the part of
udee Darrett, he will not receive the
{2 single Demoerat, and that
the winls vote of the party will be
cast for Charles A, Mayer, for Presi-
lent Judze, who is the regular nomi-
Me, Barrett already holds a Judge-
piip in the 22nd district, composed of
se counties Wayne, Monroe, Carbon

rebuked at the ballot-box.

A Liltle Swindle at Harrisburg.
With radicalism swindle is the
watch-word—swindle in politics, swin-
dle in religion, swindle in publie,
. . . - N . »
swindle in private, swindle in little
things, swindle in big things, and
adebt swindlers in the Treasury.
The boldest little swindling opera-
tion took place at Harrisburg, last
spring, by payment of the following
account :

Now every member of tht legisla-
ture, radical and democrat, can be
brought upon the stand to swear that
this Ilyus had no such appointment,
that he rendered no such service, and
that he was not at Harrisburg at all
during the session, and Ilyus himself
admits this. Yet, radical speaker
Davis makes out a warrant for pay-
ing this account, and radical Auditor
General Hartranft approves of it and
has it paid, thus, for some reason or
other, allowing a radical pet to filch
8712 from the Treasury, for no service
rendered. Ilyus is from Lancaster
county, and the name of the radical
member and preacher, Armstrong, of
the same county, is connected with
shoving this swindle through.
So zoes your money, tax-payers, and
this Ilyus swindle, is only one of the |
ten thousand radical swindles upon
the Treasury.
It-ms to Tickle Tax-payers.
For the purpose of humoring voters,
particularly such as intend voting for
Grant and Colfax, we furnish the fol-
lowing simple items as a “digestive,”
to be taken occasionally before elec-
tion time—of course, we charge noth-
ing for writing these little recipes in
the Reporter :
At the present time of piece, it costs
30 millions of dollars more, per year,
to carry on the government under ra-
dical rule, than it did under the ad-
ministration of Polk, when we-earried
on a war with a foreign power, Mexi-
co.
The radical congress has enacted
that you, farmers, mechanics and la-
boring men, must take all your pay in
rag-money and pay all the taxes, for
United States, State, ceunty and all
township purposes, while the lordly
bondholder receives big interest in
gold, gets his bonds paid in gold, and
pays no taxes to keep up’ sehools,
roads, county, state and federal Gov.
ernments. How do you like that—is
that fair?
The taxation, remember voter, that
our radical rulers have lifted from off
the shoulders of the rich, of course
now must be made up by the laboring
men. The poor now make up the rich
men’s portion. This cannot be denied,
for somebody must pay the taxes—it
is not the rich bondholder, consequent-
ly it must be the poorer classes.
The negroes of the South do not
work now, they only eat—you, voter,
must work and pay taxes that these
negroes may be fed and clothed in
their idleness, under the radieal freed-
men’s bureau. You, who intend vo-
ting for Grant, and with whom
it goes hard to earn enough to pay
your taxes, and to feed and clothe
your wife and little ones, put this item
into your stomachs as a digestive, and
if you fatten upon it, then keep voting
to uphold radicalism.

« The “Bellefonte National,” is the
title of a new radical paper, at Belle-
fonte, which takes the place of the
Central Press. The Kinsloe Brothers
are the publishers, and Wim. H. Brown
the reputed editor. The National, in
size and appearance, is the same as
the Press was, being printed from the
same material. The Kinsloes are
practical printers, and pecuniarily we
wish them success, while politically we
have no good wishes for them, further,
than thatthey may make a decenter
organ of the National than its pre le-
ism, defamation and deliberate, willful
lying may not disgrace the columns of
the National as they did the columns
of the Press, even in the eyes of its own
party.
* >
Privileged Classes.
Undor this head the Cincinnati En-
quirer thus enumerates those who con-
stitute the “Privileged Classes,’ under
the present Radical dispensation
1. The bondholder. He isexempted
from all State and lecal taxation.
He receives his interest on his bonds in
gold while every body else has to take
their interest in legal tenders
9 The National Banker, who is re
ceiving some twenty five or thirty per
cent on his investment, by virtue of the
valuable privilege which the Govern-
ment has given him—to provide a na-
tional currency for the people.
3. The Southern negro, who has a
Freedman s Bureau ei after his
interests, and to feed and clothe him if
he does not choose to work.
4. The New England manufacturer,
who receives an immense bonus in the
shape of protection to his fabries, all of
which comes out of the pockets of the
laboring classes, who are compelled to
buy them.
d. The railrond monopolists to whom
Congress has granted tracts of land
large enough for empires, out of which
they can build their roads and have a
great deal to spare! A few favored
men have thus voted to them, free of
expense, a great railroad.
6. The congressman and legislators
who sustain these privileged classes in
their rascalities upon the people, and
who are made partners on that account
in the robberies.
7. The immense army of office hol-
ders who live upon the unclean drip-
pings of the Treasury.
It is the party opposed to the Demo-
eracy which, by the act of its leaders,
has brought into being these privileged
classes, and upon which they manily
rely for their continued existence, It
is no wonder that, with such immense
interests drawing its hearts-blood, that
the country has ceased tu flourish, and
that its great resources are being dried
up.
More
Proof that Colfax was a
Know-Nothing.
The Cincinnati Volksfreund says
that Schuyler Colfax, the Radical can-
didate for Vice-President, took, in
1854, the two oaths, may convince
himself of that fact if he will call at
that office, and adds; Mr. M'Masters
of this city, yesterday handed us a copy
of the Philadelphia Evening Post of
the 23d of June, 1835, which contains
a detailed report of the proceedings
and platform of the North Western
wing of the Know-Nothing party,
which was in session on the 11th of
June of that year, at the Girard Hotel,
of Philadelphia. These proceedings,
and the call appended theretg, are
signed by the following delegates from
Indiana :
“Wm. Cumback, Schuyler €olfax,
Godlove 8S. Orth. J. S. Harvey,
F. D. Allen, Jas. R. M. Bryant,
Yet Colfax has the unutterable
effrontery to deny in a recent speech,
that he had ever been a Know-Nothing.
What would Horace Greely call him
under such circumstances,
The Howell Cobb Disclaimer.
The subjoined extract from a recent
private letter from Howell Cobb of
Georgia, is made publie:
“IT entered this contest with a desire
for the success of our ticket. which I
never felt before. - Wearied with the
bitter struggles of the past years, my
heart panted for peace, quiet and repose.
In the election of Governor Seymour,
and success of the Democratic party I
felt, in common with all all our good
jeople there was not only a prospect
but a certainty of peace—an enduring
peace, that it would lift up our own
desolated section and give to it new
days of prosperity ; restoring, too, the
past relations of brotherhood Wetween
the two nations, and making us once
more a happy and united people—uni-
ted not merely in name but in heart,
spirit and truth. I was induced to
break a long self imposed silence, and
address the people of Georgia, to in-
duce a like féeling on their part. Well,
imagine, if you can the surprise with
which I have read the comments of
Radical papers on that speech, per-
verting its meaning, distorting and
construing my words of peaceand hope
into words of blood and revolution? I
am made the advocate of strife and
war, when from every pore of my heart
there comes gushing the most eamest
and sincere desire for peace—lasting,
eternal peace. Do me the favor to
read a revised apd correct copy ofthat
speech which I send you, so that our
friends, at least at the North may: truth-
fully judge me.”

Secretary M'Culloch for Seymon r—
His Political and Financial
Views— Reconstruction Denoun-
In conversation with an intimate
friend, a few days since, Secretary
M’Culloch defined his position on po-
litical questions, and expressed himself
decisively as to his proference in the
coming campaign, as well as giving his
deliberate opinion on the financial pol-
icy of both parties. - There is no longer
any doubt but that M'Culloch: will sup-
port Seymour and Blair, using his per-
sonal and official influence to secure
their election. He thinks that the
Republicans made a disastrous mistake
in their reconstruction policy and
course pursued toward: the Southern
people. The reconstruction plank in
their platform seemed to him a very
objectionable one, and that was the
cause of his going over to the Demo-
crats. He spoke in disparaging terms
of the financial policy put forth by the
Democrats. The Secretary does not
approve of the Republican policy rel-
ative to the finances, but considers. it
the most acceptable of the two. He
holds that it is more profitable to sup-
port the Democratic patty, with its de-
fective financial policy, than to endorse
the unjust and tyrannical conditions of
the Radicals in their reconstruction
measures,
Secretary Seward Advises the
support of Seymour and Blari,
Secretary Seward regrets that cir-
cumstances on both sides assumed such
an objectionable shape, but philosoph-
ically adheres to his advice to those
who are in doubt, of the two evils to
choose the least, which, in his opinion
is the party represented by Seymour
and Blair,

Is Grant A Drunkard !
We have never made any charge of
drunkeness against the Head of the
Army and Radical candidate fer the
Presidency, on our own responsibility ;
but as there appears to be some anx-
ious inquirers after truth in the Radi-
cal ranks, who are pledged not to vote
for an intemperate man for any office,
we refer them for information to the
following authorities:
New York Tribune, April 8, 1868,
“Mack's” Washington letter in
which he reports President Johnson as
saying that Grant had (been in the
Executive mansien “so drunk that he
could not stand,”
Anti Slavery Standard April 11, 1868
in which Wendell Phillips charges
Grant with drunkenness.
Independent, (Theodore Tilton’s
paper), January 31, 1868, Tilton’s own
telegram from Washingon, stating that
Grant was “occasionally seen fuddled
in the street.”
Wendell Phillips’ speech in a con-
vention held at Boston May 28th and
29th, 1868 ?
“Imagine a Republican candidate
for the Presidency—the most popular
man in America—who cannot stand up
before a glass of liquor without falling
down.”
Col. Donan, of the Missouri Vindi-
cator a gentlemen of whom a cotempo-
rary remarks that he never told a lie,”
asserts positively that “Gen. Grant, on
his recent visit to St. Joseph, Missouri,
was so drunk as to require two gentle-
men to support him, and was utterly
unable to address the people.”
These are all the authorities
have at hand, but we persume any
anxious Rrpublican can obtain all the
information he wants by applicition
to officers of the army intimately ac-
quainted with the candidate, or to any
person about Washington in the habi
of seeing him often.

which amounts to $500,000 perannum,
is too small for his expenses and he
propnses to ask for an increase from
Parliament. The people of England,
however, both Liberal and Conserva-
jive, seem to ‘think that the public
treasury is sufficiently burdened alrea-
dy. The Queen receives $1,925,000 a
year and the Prince of Wales $500,-

the Crown Princess of Prussia 840,000,
Princess Louisa of Hesse, $30,000,
Cambridge $39,009, the Duke £60,000.
(besides £17,300 as Commander in
chief.) Besides all these, the Duchess
of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, (Duchess of
‘ambridge eldest daughter) receives
£15,000 a year, the Princess of Teck
$25,000. Then there are the younger
children of the Queen to be provided
for, and the Prince of Wales’ children.
Taking this amount of near three mil-
lions of dellars in gold, the English
people with their heavy debt and heavy
taxation do not look with favor upon
any additional burden.

Mr. William Gearheart, reciding near

Curious, If True.

of no small inportance to every farmer.

corn yielded but one ear to each stalk,
on an average, although I had long
practised selecting my seed corn from
stalks bearing two cars. It occurred
to me that the ears on the two eared
stalks were fertilized by adjoining
plants bearing one stalk only. Ithere-
fore resolved to raise my seed corn b
itself, giving it the best of soil and cul-
ture, and, before the silk appeared,
break off the male flowers (tassels or
spindles) from those having but one
ear. You see the result, entire field
bearing uniformly two ears to the
stalk.’ ”—lowa Homestead.

YO SEMITE.
SAN Fraxcisco, July 29, 1868,
Dear Eprror: Well we are back
again—back from the most magnifi-
cint scenery on the round globe. We
have been to Yo Semote snd returned,
{ have looked upon the principal
mountain scenery of Europe, and dipt
into Asia and Africa. and I never saw
auvihing, on the whole, equal to this
exhibition up in our snowey sierras,
Other bits of landscape may surpass
it in single points of comparison, but
none contains in combination so many
atpussisy and peerless attributes.
our life will hardly be completed
till you have taken in this little sketch
of travel ; and I am impatient to have
you come and do it. You come upon
the valley on the top of the walls of it
some 8,000 feet above the sea level.
The valley itself is 4,000 feet above the
same level. From this crest of rock
you look virtually down into this
mighty chasm, rifted at some old time
and by some great convulsion in the
heart of the mountain, You see it in
its whole length, some eight miles, and
a half to one and a half miles wide.
Far below you rise the tall pines, and
under the shadow of the giant walls
winds the river (the Merced.)
Off from the brow of this wall of
mountains leap numerous waterfalls,
kept full by the melting snows from
the loftier summits.
These loftier summits are from 10,-
000 to 13,000 feet high. One named
the South Dome rises perpendicularly
from the level of the valley 6,000 feet.
You remember Mount Carmel perhaps.
Thats 800 feet high. Take about eight
such mountains, let the material be
bald and bare granite rock, pile them
up with a perpendicular face and over-
hanging brow, and stand at their base
and gaze up. That's the style of the
thing.
And this is only one height in that
double wall of eight miles. The *'Bri-
dal Veil” face is about 1,000 feet high
and some 50 feet broad at thetop. The
“Yosemite” Fall is a triple leap, or
iength 2,500 feet. The “Ribbon” Fall
is 3,000. The Nevada and Vernal
Falls precipitate the main Merced
River over two ledges, 700 and 500
feet high.
These be big things.

belonging to the tour without accident.

Agricultural College.
Trustees of the Agricultural College of
Pennsylvania met at Bellefonte, Sept.
1. There was present Messrs. Watts
of Cumberland, Elis of Lycoming,
Hamilton of Huntingdon, Kelly of
Allegheny, Hiester of Dauphin, Mec
Allister of Centre, A. B. Hamilton of
the State] Society, and Mr. M’Kee,
Sec'y of the board. A satisfactory re-
port of the progress of the preparation
for working the experimental farms in
Chestcr county and at the college was
made and accepted. Bre were taken
to fill vacacies in the college faculty,
and especially the position of Prinei-
pal and Professor of agriculture.
Very few persons qualified for this im-
portant position are in the country,
and in consequence of that, the
trustees have thus far been unable te
secure the services of any one who, in
their judgement, is competent to supply
this important trust. Negotiations
now in progress may be successful, and
the choice will ens the propriety
of the course thus far pursued by the
board. The annual meeting of the
de'egates from the various county ag-
ricultural societies was also held at
the College in Center county on the 2d
inst. Wm. B. Roberts, Esq., of
Montgomery, presided and John F.
Wolfinger, Esq., of Northumberland,
Sec'y. 25 societies were represented.
Messrs. Kelly, of Allegheny, Hiester
of Dauphin, and Ellis, of Lycoming,
together with Gen. White, of Indiana
(te fill a vacancy), were chosen trus-
tees. After a spirited but pleasant
discussisn, it was judged expedient
that a committee should be appointed
by the presiding officer of the meeting
to examine into all the affairs of the
college and transactions of the trus-
tees, and the trustees are instructed to
call a meeting of representatives from
all the county agricultural societies of
the State, fixed by law at three from
each society, at Harrisburg, on Wed-
nesday, Sept. 30, 1868, at two o’clock
in the afternoon, to meet at the office
of the State Agricultural Society.
