Eepublican State Convention.
The "Republican State Convention" will
meet at the "Herdic House," in Williams-
port, on Wednesday, the 26th of June next,
at 10 o'clock, A. M. , to nominate a candidate
for Judge of the Supreme Court, and to in
itiate proper measures for the ensuing State
canvass. As heretofore, the Convention will
le composed of Representative and Senato
rial Delegates, chosen in the usual way, and
equal in number to the whole of the Sena
tors and Representatives in the General As
sembly. By order of the State Central Com
mittee. F. Jordan, Chairman.
Davi3 and Cowan.
That the Copperhead Democracy loved
the traitor, whether to party or country,
has, of late years, been often asserted, and
as often denied. The truth of the assertion,
however, is now being fully made manifest.
No sooner is the arch traitor, Davis, releas
ed from prison, than the Copperheads fall
at his feet and worship him. On Davis
arrival in New York, a few days since, he
was promptly visited by James A. Monas
ters of the Freeman s Journal, John Mul
ally of the Metropolitan Record, and Judge
Russell and Ben Wood all notoriously dis
loyal during the late war. And to "cap
the climax," the New York Dan-Bool;, the
leading organ of the Copperhead Democra
cy in the United States, is now out in a
strong article favoring the nomination of
Jeff. Davis-, and Edgar Cowan, as the so
called Democratic candidates for President
and Vice President of the United States, in
lbtiS. The Day-Book says :
"Mr. Davis's imprisonment has been
cruel and infamous, but on the whole, its
result has been a great triumph to himself
personally. lie has vindicated his position
most nobiy and heroically, and comes out of
his prison without a stain upon his honor.
If he will now come out for a restoration of
the Union upon tlie tvh!te bimix, we do not
see how the Democratic party could do bet
ter than to nominate him for President in
1SCS. Put on Edgar Cowan, of Pennsylva
nia, for Vice President, and we do not fee
why this would not make a White Man's
ticket that would sweep the North, restore
the Union, and at once inaugurate "the era
of good feelinsr." The idea of nominating
Grant and Lee has been suggested in some
quarters, but Davis and Cowan would be
infinitely more appropriate."
Davis and Cowan being true types of the
party to which they adhere, it is befitting
that they should be its standard bearers in
1S68. Then, nominate them by all means,
bo that the people can show to what extent
fcuch men are appreciated by them.
Publication of the Lars.
Some montli3 since we noticed the fact,
that an effort was being made to have all
general and local laws, published in two of
the local papers in each county as the only
means by which the people generally could
be made acquainted with the statutes under
which they are to live. That effort having
failed in the last Legislature, the Harris
burg Telegraph makes the following timely
suggestions, to which we ask the attention
of our readers :
"Already we have repeated the embar
rassment growing out of the unavoidable
delay in the publication of the laws hereto
fore, and complaints are being made on. all
sides that the Legislature failed to prpvide
for the publication of general and local laws
in the several newspapers of the State hav
ing the largest circulation. The subject was
not fully understood or appreciated by the
last Legislature, or a law to this effect would
have been adopted. In view of the fail
ure which resulted from this want of under
standing, we now suggest that our cotempo
raries in the different counties give the sub
ject their attention as their nominating
conventions meet. Let it be understood
between the people and candidates for the
Legislature, that a law providing for tha
publication of local and general laws of the
State must be passed. This will insure the
necessary legislation, by which that knowl
edge of all laws can only be attained."
Sentenced. Charles Williams, the man
who robbed the Lock Haven Post ofSce, a
few weeks ago, was last week convicted of
the crime, before the United States Court
at Pittsburg, and sentenced to ten years im
prisonment in the Western Penitentiary,
lie will hardly rob another post office soon,
unless A. J. vetoes Judge McCandless' deci
sion in the case.
A Thievish Bible. A contemporary
gays: "A man named Bible has just been
sentenced to a three 'year3' term in the
Western Penitentiary, for stealing a watch
and coat." No doubt many a thief has
stolen a Bible, but it rarely happens that a
Bible turns thief; although one may be
found in nearly every prison.
The Boston Post says: Beef hasn't been
so high as it now is since the V-cow jumped
over the moon."
The Chinese in America.
The Chinese in California, says the Cowi
rnercud, are having a hard time of it, in
consequence of the persecuting measures
adopted against them. This is we know
not with what justice attributed chiefly
to the Democratic party in that State. In
the East, that party claims to be the great
champion of the foreign element; especially
the Celtic race, the Tuetons being rather
too highly impregnated -with republican
ideas, to be easily handled. But on the
Pacific coast, opposition to the Chinese, un
der the name anti-Coolieism, prevails exten
Biveiy ana in a type of uncompromising
cruelty, beyond anything ever attributed to
know-nothingism. It threatens to diminish,
if not to stop, the immigration of China
men into California, and of course greatly
interfe:e with the amount of labor and en
prise in developing the riches of the coun
try. The principal objection to this class
of people is, that they labor for less waes
than any other clasn. They have been very
useful in doing kinds of work that no Amer
ican men are accustomed to do, and extract
ing gold from diggings that have been aban
doned or neglected by others, as too unpro
ductive to warrant the spending of labor
upon, them. These men are said to be or
derly, sober, well-behaved, and'jet they are
wronged and persecuted without protection
or chance of redress from the law. Jf they
were invested with the mysterious privilege
of voting, they wo-ild be differently treated.
The ballot would cover a multitude of sins
greater than is alleged against them. There
is no chance for them but to get naturalized
into adopted citizens.
Eiot3 in the South.
A serious riot occurred at Mobile, on
March 14th, during a meeting at which
J udge Ke'ly was speaking. Two persons,
a white man and a negro, were killed, and
several others badly wounded, during the
affraj The riot was a preconcerted affair,
as the first shot was fired at Judge Kelly,
by Files, late rebel superintendent of police,
who has since been arrested. But for the
timely interference of the military, the riot
would have been much more serious than
it was.
On May 1 3th, a serious riot also occurred
at Brownsville, Tennessee, during which
two whites and three negroes were shot,
but none fatally. Reports, as to the origin
of the riot, are conflicting, but there seems
to be little doubt that it originated in a plot
to break up a Radical convention, which
was in session at the time.
Mobbing and lynching was always a potent
argument in opposition to free speech, in
the South ; and from the occurrences at
Mobile and Brownsville it is evident that
the old spirit still exists among the latereb
els,aud that the strong arm of the Govern
ment is still required to protect life and
property in the Southern State. If the
shooting, in both these instances, was not
premeditated on the part of the rebels, it
was at least indulged in by them as though
they had no reason to fear the interference
of the local authorities and shows plainly
that they require, as yet, a very vigorous
reconstruction, to transform them into peace
able aud well-behaved citizens.
The Eelease of Jeff. Davis.
The Republican press throughout the
country, and many of the piomiuent Re
publicans, deprecate the course of Horace
Greeley in becouiiug one of the sureties of
Jeff. Davis, as tending to create new troub-
les aud new complications in the South.
The following extract from a Washington !
letter, will suffice to show the view pretty
generally taken of Mr. Greeley's course:
"This homage paid to the rebel chief by
radical leaders can but be productive of
harm at the South. Mr. Greeley is regard
ed there as a representative man, and others
who worshipped before the Davis shrine arc
known to have heretofore been the bitter
opponents of rebellion. This unexpected
summersault can but inspire a belief that
the North is changing its ground, and that
"the lost cause" may yet be recognized.
On the other hand, the freedmen, fluding
themselves deserted by their leaders, will
naturally be led to commit desperate acts."
To the Friends of the Blind.
The Principal, Officers, and thirty pupils
of the Penn'a Institution for the Instruction
of the Blind, will visit Pittsburfh and re
main during the week, commenceng on
Monday, May 20th. They will give several
Musical Exhibitions, and also the method
of reading the raised letters, and other in
teresting exercises. The object of the visit
is to exhibit the capacity of the Blind to re
ceive instruction in every branch of knowl
edge, and to acquire mechanical trades for
their self-support. As many of the West
ern counties have never sent their blind
children to the institution at Philadelphia,
their friends are notified that the State pro
vides for those who are indigent. Applica
tion may be made to William Chapin,
Principal.
Mad Dogs. Almost daily we see notices
in our exchanges, of mad dogs, and of their
biting other animals. The Perry county
Advocate, of May 1st, relates the killing of
several hogs, a young heiffer, and a horse,
in that courty, which had been bitten by a
rabid dog, and showed signs of going mad.
Owners of dogs, everywhere, should exer
cise great watchfulness over them, at this
season of the year, and should they at any
time manifest symptoms of being rabid, kill
them at once, rather than run the risk of
having other animals, or some one of their
family, bitten by them.

The body was placed in a neat walnut

"The Abolition Party."
Years ago, the slaveholders of the South,
with the doughfaces of the .North, managed
to make the term abolitionist one of great
opprobrium. Many an honest Northern
man, who really conscientiously looked upon
the barter in human flesh as a heinous crime
against God and humanity, shrauk from
avowing his opposition to that stupendous
wrong because he was fearful of being sub
jected to tho ridicule and contempt of his
ignorant neighbors by being called an aboli
tionist. But time rolled on, and so did sla
very, until the upholders of the institution
arrogated to themselves the right not only to
dictate the policy of the Government in the
interest of slavery, but the right to destroy
the government on the pica that tne addi
tion of free States imperilled slavery. When
this fact was clearly demonstrated, the abo-
lition of slavery became anatioual necessity
io man, nonesuy loving ireedom, longer
shrank from being called an abolitionist.
There was then no opprobrium in the term.
Slaveholders and doughface Democrats hiss
ed it 'through their teeth, but it had lost its
force of ridicule and became a power of pa
triotism. During the war, when it was clear
that slavery was the prime cause of the re
bellion, to be called an abolitionist, was to
be recognised as an emphatic and uncom
promising Union man. But it is a little
strange and significant, that though the
doughfaces of the great loyal States should
still cling to their old slang terms,. as it by
calling names they could revive some of the
old fury which once howled in the path of
every true lover of freedom. The slave
holders created the opprobrium which once
attached to the name "abolitionist," in the
hope that public attention would thereby be
attracted from the foul wrong of slavery,
but they failed and lost their institution.
As the Democratic organization is the next
great wrong to slavery, reeking with the
blood of the best men. of the Jsorth, it he
comes a question whether the term aboli
tionists may not mean literally the destruc
tion of the Democratic party. The abolition
of what is called the Democratic party, is a
consummation which challenges the efforts
of the best men of the land. That party is
as daugerous toMniversal liberty as was the
institution of slavery. Hence its abolition
is as necessary to the safety, peace and true
glory of the country as was the abolition of
slavery. Democracy in this country can
never mean anything but treason. Ten
years ago the sole effort of the Northen fac
tion of the Democratic party was to encour
age the slaveholders to acts of nullification
and treason. To-day what is left of the
Democratic party is engaged in a wild strug
gle to insure the escape, from all just penal
ties, of those guilty of treason. While
there is such a combination of wrong in ex
istence it is essential to national security
that there should also be maintained in
strength and power an abolition party.
Hence, we bid the doughface Democracy
welcome to all the enjoyment they derive
from calling Republicans abolitionits. We
accept the term as meaning the abolition of
the Democratic party. llarrixburg Tele

The Judiciary Committee heard the con
clusion of Col. Conger's evidence relating to
Booth's diary. He testified that the diary
is now in the same condition as when he
took it from Booth's body, before the lat
ter died. t The eighteen pages which appear
to be cut out were missing when he firs
saw the diary, and must have been cut ou
by Booth. Judge Holt testified that Colo
nel Conger handed him the book, and it
was in the same condition as when he re
ceived it. He in turn handed it to Assist
ant Secretary of War, Eckert, who has
been 'summoned to confirm the statement.
This evide ice of course effectually dispo.-es
of the story that the diary was spoliated
after coming into the hands of the Govern
ment officials.
The Cabinet had under consideration, on
the 14th, the applications ot a large number
or prominent Irish-Americans, for an inter
cession of this Government in behalf of the
convicted Fenians in Ireland. The Govern
ment has already received an intimation
that the cases wherein sentence of death
has been pronounced will probably be com
muted to imprisonment such being the
case in one instance already.
On the 13th, Chief Justice Chase an
nounced to those in attendance at the Su
preme Court: "I am instructed by the
Court to deliver its decision in the case of
the State of Georgia against Edwin M.
Stanton, et. al., and to dismiss the case for
want of jurisdiction. The opinion of the
Court will be read hereafter." This dispo
ses of both the Georgia and Mississippi in
junction cases for the present.
The question involving the legality of the
present State of Virginia and the status of
West Virginia, which arose on the cession
of the counties of Berkley and Jefferson,
was not decided by the Supreme Court, last
week, but continued over until December
term.
In the case of the British steamship Sir
William Peel, captured near the mouth of
the Rio Grande during the rebellion, the
?upreme Court has ordered restitution.
Judge Sharkey and his associate counsel
have prepared an amended bill to file in the
reconstruction cases, making the action of
Gen. Ord in taking possession of the Ar
kansas treasury, an additional ground for
the interference of the Court.
There is much rejoicing among the con
ervatives at Washington at the unanimous
decision of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict, compelling the Board of Registry to
open the lists for the registry of every
jualified voter. The whites now have a
majority of one thousand, and they claim
several thousand on the reopening of the
registration.
The Republican Convention of Washing
ton city, on the 14th, to nominate a munici
pal ticket for the June election, was com
posod of white and black delegates, although
no colored men were placed in nomination.
Why Thev Rejoice. There is no mis
taking the glee of Copperhead organs over
the release ot Jeff. Davis, and their rmr-
pose to turn the transaction to ridicule not
only of the livinir but the dead sunooiter3
of the Union. By one of these orirans it is
brutally declared that Judare Underwood
fixed Davis' bail so as to make it average
ten cents for every life sacrificed during the
the Union. James Buchanan once declared
that a white man's day's work was not
worth more than ten cents. Now the disci
ples of Buchanan insist that a white man's
fe, lost in a struggle for a free government.
is only worth ten cents. Democracy is nro-
