Y. STITZKK. Chairman. . The democratic state central con ruilteo, at a meeting held last week, declared In favor of Hon. Tito?. A. lleudricks, of that state, for President. Hendricks would make a good **>- •lent. The democrats of Berks and (,'aut hria counties, iu this state have de clared for Gen. Hancock for president. There is no better evidence of the unfitness of Gen. (.rant for the presi dential chair than the continued neg lect with which he attends to his du ties. Every summer, since his inaugu ration, he has spent at Long Brauch, attendiug horse races and ball?, leaving all the business of the presidential of. fico in the hands of his clerks at \\ a9li ington.who run the machine, while he is among the prize fighters and sport |)- men of the country. The other .lay the Ku Kiux committee found it necessary to see him —where did they go to, to Washington, the seat of gov ernment, where he ought at alltiniesto be? No, they struck for Long Branch which scouts to have been fixed upon as the summer capita: of the l. uited States. When President Johnson, after veais of close confinement in the cx - .itive dumber, attending faithfully to his duties, made a single trip from Washington to St. Louis, lasting hut a -bort time, how was he belabored for it by the radical party? Act Gen. Grant has been away the whole of ev. crv summer sinee he has become presi d nt and not a word of complaint is heard from those who scolded at An drew Johnson for "swinging around tb<: circle." Hut, we think it is all right—Gen. Grant at Washington or Gen. Grant awav from W ashingtou, is all the same, as his utter want of capacity for the office make? the administration of the government absolutely dependent upon his secretaries who know more than he dcs about state affaire, ualess the qualities of horse-flesh and dog piij>s come under that head. Who ever heard of any of the old er presidents, —Washington, Adams, Polk, Buchanan,—leaving the seat of government and spending In- summer at n fashionable watering place among the prize fighters, horse racers, and dancing girls ? Vei ily the •'God and morality" party has made as big strides in elevating the character of ..ur country as it has in elevating the negro. A Man of Hie People. The Harris burg Patriot gives the following history of the Democratic candidate lor Auditor General, as a workingman: "William M'Candleea, the Democratic candiilate for Auditor Gniera) of Pennsylvania, is a practi cal machinist and railroad engineer. Ho is a son of David M'Candless, a Protestant Irish drayman, who for many years panned his calling ti|on the'wharves in Philadelphia. At about fifteen years of age he was ap prenticed to the celebrated firm of Norris Brothers, engine builders, to h arn their calling. Tie remained with them for five years and became a skill ed workman "in every branch of the trade. He so conducted himself that nt the i xpi ration of his time I hey gave tiim n certificate of first-class capacity His intelligence, industry and skill had so elevated him with his employ irs that the Messrs. Norris selected l.im to Like charga of and deliver to iho New York and Erie railroad a ~umber of engines they had built for iho company, and recommended him to General "M'Calluin (then Superin tendent and during the war Brigadier General in charge ol millitary rail ways for employment. He was em ployed to put these engines into prac tical working, and during 1854 ran an engine upon the New \ ork and Erio railroad, between Susquehanna, Pa., and Hornellsvillc, New York, in 1855 he was employed by the Penn sylvania railroad company, uud rau ' an engine between Philadelphia aud Harrisourg. The necessity for skilled labor in the shops at Parkesburg caus ed them to transfer him thither ami he worked at hie bench ia keeping en gines in older for several months i Owing t*tba refusal of the company to promote him, he being then but twenty-two years of age, he left their employ and commenced the study ol the law with Moses A. Dropsic, Esq., of Philadelphia. Of his subsequent career a? a gallant soldier we have al leady written. •'General William MVandlc** i* a man of the people. He can to-day take down a locomotive and relit and equip it, and when thus refilled lie can seize its lever and with it *afely draw a train of ears over the heavesl grade , in the State."

Shall Corruption Triumph! We think that by tbi* time the people of Pennsylvania, pretty xenerally, are well * all* tied that corruption of the wrorst kind has been deep-rooted in every department of our state government, for the im*t ciybl years, aud that a chance is neve.*aiy if the stuandarinK* of the public monies is to be stoppvsl. The most wasteful extravagance has been practiced by bt>lh the senate and house, under a radical m a canty couree of unnecessary offi.-crs have received large sala'ies with nothing at all to do. Thousands upon thousands have been filched from tho treasury by Berber, with the countenance of the two hou>e* The auditor c*'i>eral has paid account* which he knowed were not valid aud which it was his sworn duty lo reject. But to satisfy party pets, the people's money was j stolen away. The radical state treasurers have beeu uiakinc use of the public funds for jrisate speculation from which they annually reap their hundred thousand, which is an uu law ful camblinc with the public fund*. ~ Thousands upvn thousands are squan- i ■lered upon public buildinc* and public Cround* at Harrisburc, each year, in order that radical politicians may get jobs to , fatten upon < Shall these thine*, these bold-faced plun- , de.rincs continue ? Are the people willing that the public funds shall be put to these base uses, and tbat thieves and cormorants shall use them at their will? If not, then let us have a change, next October. Let us elect Gen. M Candless, the honest man statesman, gallant soldier and patriot. Let us have a democratic legislature and see whether a change will not be for the better—worse it cannot be than it has been during the last eight or ten years. What say the people, this question is for thm to decide. Will you stop corruption and thriving ? then vote for A 'Candless and Cooper, and elect a democratic legis lature in October next. A great excitement is pervading the fashionable circles of Jacksonville. Fla. A murder case in progress there attracted a large assemblage each day, and colored and white ladies having been brought in to close contact in the court room, the war of races and the extremely hot weather in duced an appeal to the Court as to whether the colored ladies or those who labored un der the disadvantage of being born of while parents should hare the precedence in re gard to eligible seats. The Judge deci ded that the gallery of tte court room should be devoted to the exclusive use of thecoloied ladies, and that the white wo men should occupy the floor of the court bouse. This worked satisfactorily for a while; but an American citizeness of Afri can descent insisted upon taking her seal among the white ladies, and the Judge or dered ber removal. In censequenco of this an indignation meeting was called at the African church, and the Judge was ar rested and brought before United States Commissioner C. J. Robinson, charged with a violation of the Fifteenth Amend ment to the Constitution. How wholesome it would be for swiue of our Centre county rads, mascul ne and feminine, could they only for once be plac ed in such a fix—mixed up upon a hot Ju- 1 ly day, with a profuse sprinkling of dar kies. We think one dose would cure them of niggeristn and negro equality. Do not forget the delegate elections-on Saturday Let democrats elect delegates who will be concerned for the best inter esU of the party, and who will place the best and fittest men in nomination. Then let all democrats make a united pull for victory. RADICAL CAXDIDATW.—The following gentlemen are announced as candidates for the county offices, on the radical side: fbmmiitioscr-J RTate,ofSpring; And. J. Swartz, of Spring. Trearurrr — J. E.

The county Law Library fund*, for the 14 years proceeding the library act, averaged about $76 per year, part of which went to the state, part to informers, and the balance for township purposes, whilst the amount that was appropriated to the state library for law books, at one pop, last winter without a "meekly" objection, was over nine thousand dollars of the tax payer's fiind*. In the bouse, last session of the legisla ture on the motion to squander fifty thous and dollars for ventilating the asylum. Meek voted "yea." Also voted yea at same time to present the hoinocpathic doc tor* of Philadelphia five thousand dollars, and with n wink allowed over nine thous and dollars to bo thrown away for law books, ete., for the state library—in all fio.OOO of the peoples taxes, on these jobs, and took SoGU extra pay. How is that for economy. See the official Record. I*ot there be "ventilation." When a candidate cm so "meekly" promise the sheriff" s office for next year to a quarter dozen of aspirants, tbe assembly tor the same year to half dozen anxious ones, and the county comiiiUaionerhip to a few, such an one must be tlia most "promi sing" young man in the county. Democrats look out roarbacks, they aro gotten up so "meekly." One of the greatest feats of modern rail road building was performed on Buriday last on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, which runs from Cincinnati to St. Louis. The road was originally constructed on a gauge of six feet between the rails, and it became necessary to reduce the gaugt to four feet eight aud one-half inches, soas to accommodate the cars of connecting roads. The lenghi of the lino is tbreo hundred and forty miles; and the problem was to take up both rails for this entire distance and relay thein nearer each other. To facilitate tho task the spikes tor tho inside of the two rails, as they would liu in their new posi.ion, were driven, and the holes for the outer spikes bored in advauee. An ar my of men, two thousand fix e hundred in all (or seven to each mile), was then distribu ted along tho track, and at sumbe they set to work. After seven hours of incessutit labor the job was accomplished, and at 4 • o'clock the next morning trains w vre run ning over the toad.. The entire cost of the operation, ineludiag h reduction of the gauge ot thg rolling stock, wa fI.fiOO.OUO.

In the first elections which took place ander the reconstruction acts, the carpet-baggers were the trlum-. pliant party. They succeeded by the nol of Federal bayonet* and terrorism, IIKV. ing thus gnitved po.-c-cdon ol the t W Slate goveriimet*, they proceeded to or ganise a carnival of legalized extortion and robbery by the mo-t flagrant and outrage ous abuse of the taxing power. And be cause the Southern people did not submit lo be skinned without squirming, they are, accused of chronic disloyalty t* the b , do ral government. When Mr. Greeley made his journiy to Texas in the early part of the season, he took some pain* to inform himself of the. tricks and manners of these previous cur pet-hagg* rs w ho are patr* nized by Getter- j al Grant's administration a* the pillar* ot loyalty in theSoutliern Staler.. He iuquired | of Deimwrats, and he inquired *>t eaiidid, j decent Republican*; and from both be re-j ceived the same story oftheinfaiuou* char- 1 a* ter of these carpet-baggers who control the legislation and administer the Stat.- 1 governments of the South. When he re turned home lie stated the truth as be had . 1 learned it, but with tho caution natural t •>, a RepuM ican editor who was unwilling to > injure hi* party. Many Republican jur- I usb have arraigned him for his fraiikne*. !in ex|wsing the earjwl-bag knave*, ami I yesterday he thought fit to hun*elt i in the Tribune. He reiterates his ehargea i againts"thethievishearjwt-bagger-,' mak- j ing only this plea in mitigation; thai he , never included, nor intended to include, ( all Northern residents in the South in hi ,] sentence of condemnation. Tin* plea in ! j abatement is of no practical account- For as the few honost carpet-bagger* voted t- ( put the dishonest one* in oftiee, they mu-: | share the responsibility of their malfea-'| tance and mi*d< ing*.

"Carpet-bag villanv was often urged a* the provocation and [. excuse of Ku-Klux atrocity. Hid such villany existT If so, what wa* its nature j and extent? h We answered I hoc questions frankly and truthfully. All thtwe atignializsd : "carps't-baggerv ' are not rascal*; many of| them are worthy, upright men, who are obnoxious to the uht planting aristocracy and its satellites only because they nre.ear neat, efficient Republican*. If tbey would support and vote the Democratic ticket i they would nat be accounted "carpet-bag- , ger ' at all, though frc-h from New Kng latid ur Ohio.

So we said in substance in 01m, Lincoln Hall speech, and every inteligent person in the reconstructed States know* : it t" be substantial'}' true. Mr. Greeley has been accused by jour nals of his own party of consorting with. Democrats during his Southern trip, and taking his character of the carpet-bagger#) | from them. But tho force of his statement* . cannot he broken by such n subterfuge. He asserts in the following passage that ' (hey rest mainly U|MIII Republican nuthori- ; : . 1 Those journals have unanimously asstim - ed that we derived our impression* of the ' thieving carpet-hugger* from Democratic j sources, and explain them by the alleged ( fact we mainly associated with Democrats while in the South.
