A bitter quarrel exists between Vallandig
ham and Pendleton, and, in consequence,
the Ohio Democracy are rent in twain.
A General Indian warts imminent. In
case of hostilities, no doubt, the Goverment
will adopt a vigorous policy in treatment of
the savages.
- Erie, Warren, Jefferson and Clearfield
counties have alreadv sciected conferee! fa
vorable to Hon. G. W. Scofield. This will
secure his re-nomination ; and, as the dis
trict is Republican, will insure his re election
to Congress.
Opposition to the acquirement of citizen
ship by the Chinese is opposition to the
fundamental principles which underlie our
Government, and as contrary to truth and
right as was the aggressive pro-slavery poli
cy of the South.
The European complication remains the
great enigma of the hour, and what will
come of it remains, to be seen-- France,
Prussia, and Spain seem - equally deter
mined, and if one of them does not back
down, and that speedily, war is inevitable.
The Crawford county system of making
nominations is fast falliri? into di.srenutc. on
account ol the vast frauds practiced under
it. In one town, recently, neatly 600 votes
were polled for a candidate, while the town
did not contain over 100 voters. But "sich
is politics. "
Despite the outrages and violence of the
Kuklux Democracy of .North Carolina, the
indications are that the State is still soundly
Republican. The Raleigh Standard says :
"There is every sign of victory. W-e shall
carry the State once more by au overwhelm
ing majority."
The London . Spectator, in speaking of
the naturalization laws of the United State?
makes a poiut which seems to us well taken.
It is that we rob ourselves of one of the clear
est attributes of a nation irr conferring upon
State courts the right to naturalize foreign
er. The practice ia,'to say the least, anom
alous, and out of it has sprung much of
the abuse of the naturalization laws.
At a Democratic meeting in Fairfield
county, Ohio, the other day, it was resolved
that the war for the Union "was a partisan
war for the spoils" and "a violation of the
Constitution;" that the war debt "is a fraud
upon the peaple," and that we are in favor
of disowning the bonded debt, or, in other
words, are in favor of repudiating it ; and if
paid, we are in favor of letting the abolition
party and its negro allies pay it. ,
Some idea of the importance of the Paci fie
Railway can be gleaned from the following
paragraph, which is now going the rounds
of the press: A few days ago four hundred
bags of English mail matter passed over the
Pacific Railroad en route for Australia and
the South Sea Islands. This is a practical
acknowledgment that the route from En
gland to Australia via New York and San
Francisco is both shorter and safer than the
Mediterranean, Suez CaoaI and Red Sea
route. .--.-'.:- -
The glorious results of the first fifteen
months of President Grant's administration
.1 1 n . . .
are mas uneny rammed up by the Chicago
Repvliicani 'The reduction of the public
debt $105,000,000', continued peace with all
jnankind.and entangling alliances with none;
a reduction of the expenses of every depart
ment; honest collection of tho revenues;
ousting and punishment of dishonest offi
cials; improved public credit; improved
finances; economy; rigid accountability on
the part of officials, and general peace, quiet,
and restored law aud order in all parts 6f
the Union."
The few Democrats (says an exchange)
who yet remain in Congress have issued an
address to their party. They 8ay the
issue is "whether we shall have a constitu
tional and hoaejtgovernment,"or a"revolu
tionary, extravagant and wasteful partisan
rule." That is certainly a fair statement of
the precise question at issue.' It is whether
we shall have a continuance of the constitu
tional, ecnnominal ini) hnnat
' u UVIIIHb- gVTCIIIUICUl
- which the Republicans have given the coun
try, for ten years, now, or whether we shall
return to the sort which the last Detnocr atic
President, Buchanan, gave ns : "revolu
tionary.." in breeding and arming 'a host of
traitors; "extravagant and wasteful," in al
lowing it Interior Secretary to steal the
Indian bonds, and its Treasury Secretary to
. squander the funds and leave the Govern
ment bankrupt? That? or this?
Our Nominees.
V,re place at the head of our columns, to
day, the names of the nominees of the lie
publican party, of this county, us selected
by the County Convention which met in the
Court House, on Friday, July 8th :
Jon.v Swa.v, Sr., our candidate for Sher
iff, is wirll and favorably known as one of
our best citizens and most successful business
men honest and competent. He will dis
charge the duties of the office, if elected,
with fidelity, and to the entire satisfaction
of the business community. We cheerfully
commend him to the voters of the county.
James Glenn, the nominee for County
Commissioner, is a man of sound judgment,
good buMiicss qualifications, aniHully com
petent to discharge the important duties of
the office for which he is named. Having
lost a log in the late ar, whilst fighting for
his country's flag, he is entitled to the sym
pathy and support of a patriotic and grate
ful people.
Robert Mitchell, the candidate for J ury
Commissioner, is generally known through
out the county as a man qualified for the po
sition for which he is named, and hence
needs no special commendation from us.
Dan W. M' Curdy, Esq., the nominee
fcr District Attorney, is a young man of fine
legal acquiretnents,good education and strict
business habits. Should h be elected, the
citizens of the county will have no cause to
regret his elevation to the responsible posi
tion for which he is named. -
James Hughes, the candidate for Audi
tot, is fully competent to discharge the du
ties of tho office for which he is designated
being a man of strict business habits and
a good accountant.
George L. Way,. the nominee for Coro
ner, is well qualified to discharge the duties
of that office should he be chosen to fill it
ne ticket is a good one. I ho nominees
are all men of character and standing in the
community, and worthy the support of the
people throughout the county.
Closing up the Banks.
The N. Y. Herald, in a leading article
on the Republican party, after referring to
the mistaken idea of those who think the
party is about to fall to pieces from disinte
gration, compared it to the Union army
whose members would stroll from the ranks
when there was no danger imminent; but
the moment an enemy was announced, the
whisper went along the lines to "close up,"
and as if by magic the boys in blue were at
their posts prepared to meet and overthrow
the nation's assailants. The Herald con
cludes its article in the following forcible
sentences : .
The present administration has been
charged by the country with a sacred trust
. a legacy ot the war. Its mis? ion is to
restore us to that happv condition we were
in before the great necessity came when
the American people hardly knew what tax
es were when there was no national debt
wheu the citizens of the United States
were more comfortable and easy in their cir
cumstances than the citizens of any other
nation on the earth. Its mission is to re
duce taxes, to pay the debt, to develop the
resources of the nation, and in an adminis
tration thus entrusted with a great duty
growing out of the war the Republican par
ty has a bond of nniononly less 'potent than
the war itself.
In the case of Cuba we saw the President
declare wbat he conceived to be the only
policy consistent with the performance of
his duty to the country, and we saw the
party, with only as many stragglers as a
battle always causes, assent to his declara
tion and rally to support him in it. Every
such contest consolidates a party, casts out
by a natural process those who cannot ac
cept the will of a majority and gives the re
mainder greater strength, in vii tuc of great
er unity of sentinient and purpose; and in
such contests this' party the only possible
party in our present condition, will move on,
gaining power as it coes, to make its nres-
ent purpose tho issue and the trumph of
Naturalization.
The Democracy, says tho Cincinnati
Times, have sought to make a rartv nues-
tion out of the attempt of Congress to place
the naturalization of foreigners in the Feder
al Courts. The sole object is to prevent
the infernal frauds that are perpetrated in
New York city at every election. The
Democracy seem to be opposed to any re
form of abuses that will deprive the party
f the advantage of rascality at the polls.
They know that it is the desire of honest
men of both parties to have an honest elec
tion', and every mother's son of them knows
that about one-third cf the Democratic vote
in that city is sheer scoundrelism. And
yet they oppose a reform 1 They do so hop
ing to make party capital out of it. It would
involve no limitation upon naturalization,
except that the Federal Courts are not quite
so convenient as State Courts. Had the
State Courts, foreigners and their friends,
been honest in it, Una measure would not
be demanded ; but now there is no other
way but to shift the business to courta that
are not mere party engines, and if thai will
not serve the purpose, something else must
be done. Look out, geotlcmeo 1
How to Stop a Paper. '
The following fromooe of onr Molinn-
