Kentucky was paid her war indemnity
over half a million dollars on J une SOtb.
Gov. Sidney Periiam, of Maine, was
nominated for re election by the Republi

the N. Y. Ilerahtt latest proposition to
the Democracy. No matter who ; they'll
come off second best anyhow.
Durixo Grant's administration the Gov
eminent promises-to-pay have been increas
ed in valuo from sixty-nine fo nir.cty-oue
cents on the dollar a marked approvement
over Andy Johnson's administration.
Tub last Congress reduced taxation to
the amount of fifty-six millions a year. J ut
in proportion as the Republicans party lea

crease the local taxes. ITetnember this.
Vice President Colfax adheres to his
determination not to again tccept a nomina
tion for office. His numerous warm friends
will regret to learn this,, as there is no man
in the country more worthy and competent
to fill any position in the gift of the people.
EVERY Republican State Convention
held this year, thus far, has cordially en
dorsed President Grant's administration,
and in the absence of any prominent Re
publican candidate for the succession, his
re-nomination seems now to be very nearly
a foregone conclusion.
The free-traders, whose object is mischief,
are confident of splitting the Republican
party on the tariff question before the next
campaign ; but the resolutions of the late
State Conventions in the West, where they
expected to make their greatest impressions,
show that they have accomplished nothing
as yet.
While the Republicans are quietly hold
ing their own, the Democrats are disinteg
rating. A section of the party in Iowa are
dissatisfied with the '"new departure," re
cently taken, anJ another ftate Con vein fuu
is called to meet August Isth. Another
ticket will probably be put in the field. The
movement is under the lead of the notori
ous Ilenry Clay Dean, so prominent as a
rebel sympathizer.
Secretary Boitweli.'s report for June
of the public debt statement shows another
Splendid reduction, amounting to over seven
million dollars. The Democratic groffk-rs,
no doubc, do not like to witness these splcn
did financial successes. If it only umount
ed to a few hundred thousand we would
very quickly hear from them passionate out
bursts condemning Mr. Doutwell's manage
ment of the country's finrnces.
Edward S. Gi mble, who hails from
Washington county, and has been driving a
United States mail wagon in Philadelphia
for some time, was arrested on Monday, Ju
ly 3d, for robbing the mails. He had sixty
two letters in his pockets at the time, and
upon searching his house one hundred end
fifty others wer3 found. Mail depredations
are of frequent occurrence all over the coun
try, and now thst one of the scoundrels has
been caught we hope he may receive a full
measure of punishment for his crime.
There could be no better proof giv?n of
the importance and indispensable necessity
of a protective tariff to stimulate to a
healthy development the iron interests of
the country, than the fact that in Cincinnati
the value of iron manulaetared increased
from $3,305,006 in I860, to $20,804,263 in
1ST0. Ir.the first mentioned year there were
only 3,S25 hands employed, wVi!-.t i:i tho last
there were 10,725. A protective tariff gives
vitality to American industries and employ
ment to American operatives. The Cincin
nati iron-masters could not have increased
their business so largely under the operation
of free-trade las, nor employed seven thou
sand hands more in 1370 than they did in
1S60. The workiuguiaa needs no better fir
gument to convince him of the necessity of i

Ot it Democratic friends are having quite
a lively time over the "new departure." It
liaunU them in their dreams, and confronts
them in their daily "walk and conversation."
In it they behold t'ie wreck 0f life-l,1!; the

ty leaders are determined upon haviK Jt
swallowed. The rank and tie, do not, how
ever, take to it kindly, and fchow decided
symptoms of rejecting a panacea that has
always been distasteful to them. Whether
they will be able to resist to the end, re
mains to be seen. They might as well, bow
ever, take it, acknowledge their past errors,
receive the negro into full communion, and
as they jointly strike up the old chorus,
'If jou belong to Gideon's Bind.
Why here's my heart and here's my hand,"
they will feel inexpressible joy, an l realize
that they are keeping pace with the resist

A Sensible Yiaw.
The Lebanjn Courier says : "There is a
good deal of humbug about temperance pol
iticians. The leaders of these temperance
movements will frequently be found to be
disappointed office seekers, or chaps who
have china to tfllee until they were thrust
out, and are consequently soured and want
revenge or a new hold of the official teat.
A sincere temperance man can accomplish
much more through the pre.-eut politi
cal organizations than outbids of thcnu
The Republican party goes fully as far hi
the temperance cause as public sentiment
will warrant. The proper place to give the
cause an impetus is in the moral education
of the people. Public sentiiiimt is not now
up to the hues ice h'tve, or we should not
have our staute looks filled with laws for
the protection of the community against in
temperance, and they permitted to lie unen
forced. Temperance men should see that
our present laws ate enforced betore asking
for further enactments. We might pile
prohibitory laws mountain high, and of
what effect wjtild they be if never brought
into operation 7 The teruperauca cause, like
other things, demands common sense and
practical action to give it progress."
Judge Harding, a few days siKce, ren
dered a decision at Wilkesbarre, in this
State, whieh promises to reuder the coal
mines more safe in the futilrS than they
have been in the past. It serve to show
that the mine ventilation law is not a dead
letter. The defendants in the case souuht
to re-ist the law which compels communica
tion to-be kept up between the outlets of
the mine, the maintenance of speaking
tubes fiom the surface to the interior of the'
mine, and the establishment of ample means
of escape froai the shafts. Heretofore;, in
consequence of the penuriousness "of mine
operators and the carelessness of inspectors,
the law has been a dead letter, thoueh it
has been on the statute books for fifteen
months. But in the case brought before
Judge Harding, Inspector Williams being
plaintiff, the Court sustained the Inspector,
and ordered the law to be eniorced at any
cost. A few such decisions would make a
repetition of the Pittaton disaster almost
impossible.
As was to have been anticipated, the
""new departure" Democratic platform end
ed where it commenced, says the Chicago
Post. It will accept l lie constitution, but
did not beiieve in it. Mr. Jeremiah Black
has just produced an address for the Demo
cratic Executive Committer of Pennsylva
nia, in which this doctrine is powerfully
ekborated. As a rehash of partisan vio
lence and absurdity it could not wdl be ex
celled. There are no points about it. Like
the partisan editorials, it commences any
where and ends nowhere. Assertion, as
sumption without fact, end aimless false
hood without apparent object. It will do
rio harm, and is powerless for good.
Kow that the Treaty of Washington
has been ratified, notice comes from Lon
don that the Canadian fleet thsst ha. long
rendezvoused at the Port of Halifax will be
uiili.li-awu.aaJ inly one vessel left to guard
the fishery interests of that locality. J nis
looks as though England was preparing to
carry out the Treaty, whether the Dominion
ratifies it or not. Our neighbors over the
border had better make a virtue of necessi
ty and graciously give their assent to this
instrument and take a New Departure. The
treaty has the approval of England anl the
United States, and it is hardly in the power
of the Domiuion to thwart the designs of
these great powers.
The Bloomfield Advocate sajs: The
Perry County Democrat will not accept the
Democratic platform, and refuses to '"de
part" with Wallace, Buck M'CiriJles.s, Bill
McMullen and other "shining lights" who
are now swallowing the billingsgate so freely
heaped upon the Republicans for the past
few years. The Democrat denounces the
0th resolution of the platform and the men
who engineered it through the Democratic
State Convention, yet it Supports M'Cand
less for Auditor General, when it well
knows that M'CanJ.'css endorses the "new
departure."
The favorable prospect for crops in vari
ous parts of the country is the theme of
general r. mark in the papers. All the sta
ple bread-stuffs will yield above the average,
and a good supply of cotton, but not equal
to last year, cither iu acreage or yield. The
general result will be highly beneficial to the
country, as there will unquestionably be a
large demand for breadstuff abroad. As
things now are, this is the favored amon

The Vice Presidency and Something Elae.
"By the authority of Senator Cameron,
and at his request, we are called on to an
nounce his opinion as to candidates in the
coining Presidential contest ; and to further
assure those who value his opinions in po
litical affairs that the injudicious agitation
of the subject of candidates at this time
forces hmi to break a silence which should
have continued uutil tho campaign now in
progress iu Peifnsylvauia had been ended,
lie is not, and will uot be a candidate for
the Vice Presidency under any circumstan
ces. Nor does he attach the slightest im
portance to that subject. IJuf. on the Pres
idential nominee his convictions are matured
and etiom;.
"He desires tho renomination and re
election of President Graut for many weishty
reasons, believing him to be the very man,
of all men, to bring the country out of its
financial and political complications. His
management of the revenues has been uiag
niGcent. The steady payment of the na
tional debt has been the crowning achieve
ment not alone of his administration, but of
practical financiering. The amicable ad
justment of our foreign relations and par
ticularly the negotiation of the treaty of
Washington, gives evidences of the highest
order of statesmanship. His devotion to
the cause of American labor is sturdy aud
sincere. The anxiety he constantly shows
to find the true relations between commerce
and manufactures, and his honest desire to
forward the highest interests ot both com
mend him alike to the producers and the
exchangers of industrial wealth. And his
inflexible determination to en fore the laws
makes him a perfect officer in all respects.
"Honest, capable, straightforward, inflex
ible, and brave, he combines all th'i elements
of pover through which alone the South
can be restored to peace, order and prosper
ity. That part of our country requires
nothing so much at this time as a clear con
victiou that the laws of the land are to be
either loyally obeyed or mercilessly enforced.
They must learn that the right of a north
ern, Eastern or Wasteru man is as complete
in the South as anywhere else ; and that the
absolute freedom cf political discussion aud
action in evry part of this country is the
dearest of all those rights which the war for
the Union settled. There can be uo peace
uutil the South yields this point ; and uuder
Grant they will learn it soonest. He can
neither be wheedled nor bullied. And for
this reason he is the best President fbr that
turbulent section.
These reasons amongst others, control the
judgment of Senator Cameron, aud he is so
anxious that Grant should be re elected that
he looks with chagrin on any aud all matters
which shall divert the attention of the peo
pie from that subject. Pennsylvania will
do her duty iu the f utre as in the paM,and
will find her recompense in her devotion to
civil liberty, and the Great Captain under
whom civil liberty is so well maintained.

Color, making it soft. loMroua and ailken. The
scalp, by its use. becomes while and cleiih. It
removes all eruptions and dandruff, and. by its
tonio properties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes the hair"
glands. By its use. the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their carina! vior, and will create a
new growth, except in extreme old age. It is
tbe most economical Hair Dressing ever used, as
it requires fewer applications, and gives the hair
a splendid glossy appearance A. A. Hayes. M.
