WEEKLY OBSERVER
ERIE, PENN'A, JUNE 4, 1868
As the selection of a Congressional candi
date in both parties is being considerably dis
cussed, it may be 'well to reprint the follow
, ing table of the vote of the district in 1866,
when Messrs. Scott and -Scofield were the
opposing candidates.. On that occasion, the
'-hostility engendered among the Radicals by-
Mr. Johnson's changeof front, caused'party
lines to' be more closely drawn than they
would have been otherwise, and the exciting
Presidential canvass this year will probably
have an influence of nearly the same kind :

• SINCE writing our article in another place,
Mr. Scofield has been duly announced as-a
candidate for Congress in this county. lie
I has made up his mind to "beard the lion in
his lair," and meet his enemies on their
chosen battle ground. The notice to this
effect is in the shape of a communication
numerously signed' by citizens of North East,
which appears as a standing advertisement
in the Radical organs. It states that their
action has been taken without Mr. Seotield's
knowledge, which "will do to tell the ma
rines." The Judge is an eminently Modest
man, andln view of this trait of his charac
ter we are ready to make due allowance for
his unwillingness to appear. as -a voluntary
candidate, after having held the office three
terms in succession. His deteimivation to
enter the primary canvass in our county has
thrown the Radical cohorts into a flutter
such ar they have not experienced for years 7
(lens. Whallon, Walker and Cutler immedi•
ately issued orders to their respective sub
commamters to arm and equip their forces
for the fray, and ithe campaign that has been
inaugurated is expected to be the fiercest and
deadliest m our political history. We in
cline to the belief that the' bold int Adel. has
the best organized and diseiplintsl army, and
will win an overwhelming, thongli hard
fught victory.
THE meeting of busines , iilnen on Tuesday
evening to discuss . the adv,antage of estab
lishing manufacturing enteiPrises,is a move
ment that ought to receive the zealous en
couragemeni of all our citizens. It is the
first step in the right direction that has been
taken for ye.trs, and we hail it as' ;tn auspic
ious sign of the times The statement teas
made that capitalist, like Gen. Reed, Milton
Courtright and John A. Tracy stand ready
to second any movements that bid fair to re
sult to the advantage of the city, and a dis
position is prevalent among all our wealthy
men to lend a helping hand. Let those who
have inaugurated the'move keep up a brave
disposition, and allow nothing to dampen
their ardor until they have built up a senti
ment in the community that will result in
turning its energies into a proper channel.
The remark was well made by Mi. Wetmore
that it is futile for Erie, with Buffalo and
Cleveland so much better circumstanced, to
expect to become a great commercial port;
and every day convinces us the more strong
ly that our main hove of prosperity must rest
upon the establishment of many facturing op
erations, tor which our advantages of loca
tion adept 11, in a degree hardly rivalled by
any other Labe city.
City finance,
The annual report of the city Oompti oiler
shows the receipts for the year 1867 to have
been $219,745, of which $43,119 are reported
as "warrants in circulation." Of this sum,
0,000 were from the sale of improvement
bonds, $46,315 for special, sewer and paving
tax, and $13,603 from the sale of S. & E 11.
,toot:. The expenditures on general a,•-
count were $5,103 than the receipts,
leaving that sum hi the trea , ury on the let
of May. Among the (Allen,- items are the
following: Printing $769, Fire department
$10,271, Police $7,146, Paving and catch 1)a
-sins $33,619, sewers $73,258, Interrst and
dist:mints $10,252, work on streets and bridges
$21,507. The city has liabilities to the
amount of $46:1,566, which will probably be
increased to some extent during the present
year. Thee include the 7 per cent: water
works loan, $236,800; the 7 per cent. im
provement boudg, $50,000; the 6 per rent.
P. E. IC. It. bonds, $124,100; 'balance on
Park House property, $8,867-; and warrants
in circulation to the amount of $43,119. The
city tax assegsed for the present year is ti:66,-
412, of which $311,471 are for the payment of
interest. The city own% real estate be the
sum of $19;150.
Radical Primary Herting,
Our readers are nuttily :twat e that the
Radicals Of this county halve, adapted whit is
known as the Crawford County sy.tetn of
making nominations—that the members
ofi, the party will vote clircct for the candi
dates they prefer. instead of delegating
their authority to representatives in Coun
ty convention. The day fixed upon for
choosing the party ticket is the eleventh
of duly, and from this time to then the-Radi
cal cauldron will boil and bubble with con-
A.antly increasing agitation. is the mode of
conducting the system is comparatively un
known to the larger portion of our citizens,
we give a summary of the rules which have
liven adopted by the Radical Co. Committee.
Ist. Every candidate must have his name
announced in one or more of the county pa
pers at least three weeks previous to the Pri
'mary meetings, stating the office 'he wants,
and that he will abide by the decision of the
party.
2d. The Radical voters will meet at the
usual places of holding the fall elections, at
1 o'clock, p. tn., and elect one of the persons
present for Judge and two for clerks; who
shall constitute a Board of Election. The
polls are to be kept open until eight o'clock
in the'evening, there being no occasion to
deprive poor Democratic voters of the privi
lege of the ballot, as was iutentloi by the new
State Registry law, enacted by the Radicals
of the Legislature, which requires them lobe
closed at six o'clock.
3d. The votes are to be certified and placed
in the hands of the Judge or one of the clerks,
who will meet in the Court House, from all
portions of the county, at two o'clock: p. in.,
on the Tuesday following; and the person
having the highest nninber of votes for any
office shall be declared the regular nominee,
and his support be binding on the members
of the party.
4th. When two or more persons have an
equal number of vote, for the t•atne office, the
Judges shall ballot for a choice front tho ,, e
having the highest vote, and the one who has
the mo,t Judges in hi , favor ,ball be the
ECIEMI3
sth. The Judges may reject, by a majority
vote, such return, a, bear evidence of fraud,
either in conducting the election or other
wise, but only to the' extent, of the fraud
committed.
Gth. The Convention of Return Jtlge,,
with such e%cpntions,ai arc above named,
will have tie .arse genera: e ut-rot over the
affairs of the oath the .lelegAte eonven
tions have hitherto.pos-e.2 , 0 li m.ky change
'the mode of makin ,, nomination=. whenever
the party, by a thajority vote at the I.rintary
meetings, them to do. I,lo‘ idea
that due public notice ha- previt,u,ly lwen
given by tile Co t_ on. wit tee.
WE suspect that the great soantial ease
with which the Dispatch azitated the com
munity in the beginning of the'week, exists
mainly in its local editor's
imagination.

Court Proceedings.
The following cases were disposed of in
the Court of Quarter Sessions, after our re
port in last week's issue had been made up.
The trial list was less important than usual,
and the jurors were discharged on Thursday
evening :
Wm. Cleaves,—assault and batters. Plead
guilty, and was sentenced to pay a fine of
'45 and costs, and ten dayslanprisonment in
the county jail.

C. T. Reed, Sen.,—nniNanee in the matter

fendant held' in $3OO to appear next term.
A.. P. Fassett,--lareeny. True bill. and
continned,to next term.
John Dwyer,—surety of the peace. Sea:
tented to pay the rosts„and give hail in $lOO
to keep the peace for six months.
Sylvester Beckus,—assault and battery
with intent to commita rape. This case was
on trial when we went to press. last week.
Not guilty, an alibi having been proved to
the satisftction of the jury.
THE Republican, in speaking of the change
in the nominating system of its partY;takes
occasion to repeat its slurs upon some' of the
former nominees, which we vainly appealed
to it to explain some weeks since. It says:
"The old system has for ten years, to our
personal knowledge, worked hadly—produ
cing unfortunate ,ilissensious in the party
ranks, and resulting not unfrequenily in fill-'
ing some of our ist important localofficeh
with men whosif principles are to-day and
were -then as an agonistic to those of the
great majority of the voters of the county as
ate the politicall;pinions of Fernando Wood,
Clement L. Val lan dightun or Jefferson Davis.
For this anti 111:111V other reasons we are
heartily thankthlfor the change." Now, we
insist up• - nt it that this is an unfair way of
treating the gentlemen for whom the allusion
is intended. Who arc these heterodox indi
viduals that have played such sad havoc with
the party " principles," and inflicted-so se
vere a wound upon our neighbor's sensitive
system? Which "important locatioffices"
have they filled, and what are the pitrtienlar
crimes for which they arc indicted and so
summarily sentenced ? Is our Radical friend
Lowry, who thinks John Brown a saint, and
negro spffrage the cure-all for our national
ills, one of them? Does it mean our amiable
friend Walker, or the polished and eloquent
Babbitt? Is-it designed as a caustic rebuke
of the Chairman of the County Committee,
or can it refer to some of the very numerous
gentlemen who trice won immort'al honor in
the legislatiN•ehnlis at Harrisburg? Whoev
er they may be, our eotemporary owe: it to
itself, to justice, and to puldie curiosity to
name theM at once. Su sweepipg an asser
tion demands a speeitie C.Xpiall:qloll. The
Radical party hangs in awful suspense await
ing the exposure, and, depend upon it, that
the men who have• betrayed the "sacred
trust repqsed in them," will be made to feel
its condign revenge.
THE Radical Congressional nomination is
daily becoming more an object of interest to
tho,e who participate- in our local politics.
The impression at present appears to be that
Scofield will have the votes of the conferees
font Warren, Jefferson, Clearfield, McKean
and Forest on the first ballot. Jefferson has
already endorsed lcgu, and Warren i‘ certain
to give hint its support. Elk and Cameron
will support' Henry Souther, of Ridgway, but
as hi,-nomination is by no means possible,
both will probably, and the latter cer
tainly, fall back -- -Mt Scofield as their next
choice. Scofield's friends say that he in
tends running in
r this county,:and seem to
think that he stands a fair pro - snect.of carry
-Mg it. If he kecpS out of the.contest in Eric
county, Whallon.'s chances Of getting a ma
jority of the votes at the primary meetings
look best, he having solicited and secured
'Plisti.ges of support from a large portion of
the township leaders. Messrs. Walker and
Cutler do not appear to be making much ex
ertion, though it may be that quiet influ
ences are at work of which the public gen
erally arc' not aware. There is some talk of
a movement to have one or both these gen
tlemen withdraw, and form a combination of
their friemr. to defeat Wltallom who , e claims
to support arc , looked upon with the utmo- - - . 1
contempt by most of the party manager,.
Isrmu:srixo CEnEmoNy ON THE
—A meeting of citizens interested in the
erection of the Marine Hospital Was held on
Wednesday evening, to make arrangements
for the living of the corner-stone of that edi
fice on the Fourth of July next. It was re
solved that the occa-ion should be made one
of a genend- (diameter, and that the city au
dimities, benevolent and religious societies,
and fire department should be invited to par
ticipate. A committee of ten; consisting of
Hon. O. Noble, Wm. A. G:dbraith, Judge
Marvin, 'lames Sill, Prescott Metcalf, M.
Itartleib, General Sehlatleelzer, Richard
O'Brien, P. A. Becker and Wm. Ilenry was
selected to make the necessary preparation:.
Mr. Lowry stated that Gor. Geary would.
probably be present, and that Attorney Gen
eral Brewster had consented to deliver the
oration. 'The object one of so worthy a
nature that we hope and believe our citizens
will readily respond to any calls that may be
made upon them in connection therewith.

THERE are rumors upon the streets that
Mr. Lowry talks of coming out; as an inde

greenback issue.- It is given out that in case
the party dodges or spurns his well known
views upon that question, he will positively
enter the arena. If he carries out his threats
won't there be a quaking among the dry
bones of Radicalism ?
THE radical Co. Committee, at its meet

Tnr.: Poor Home farm was sold on Wednes
day, in accordance with -the advertisement
of the Directors, offering to dispose of it to
the highest bidder. There were it number
of bidders, but the highest offer was made by
Eras Sebluraff, Esq., of Mill CI cek, being
$2 . :25 per acre. The farm contains about one
hundred acres, and the price named includes
all the Mr. Schluraff, besides be
in ; one of the wealthiest and mot cuter

Democrat, who always stands ready to per
form any service that will promote the
cause. We congratulate him upon the pros

valuable property—one of the best in the
whole state.
WE are pained to announce- that one of
the leading lights of the Republican party, a
brilliant orator, and distinguished individual
generally, lies come to sudden grief. He is
accused of having an unfortunate peachant
for other people's clothes. One of the medi
cal fraternity lost a coat on the night of the
fire at Wayne Hall, which lie had left at a
clothes cleaner's, whose egtabli'shment was
broken into upon that occasion. He has
been on the look out for his stray garment
for some time, and a week or to o ago, see
ing or imagining he saw, it upon our heroes'
baCk, brought hint up standing with a notice
from the Justice. The case is to come on for
trial at the next crinlinal court, when the
curio,ity of the gossips will undoubtedly he
gratified to its fill. Meantime, let us hope
that the sinking cause of Radicalism will not
be doomed to yet another mishap, through
the failings, or whatever they may be called,
of one of Its most brilliant luminaries.
A CORRESPONDENT, who takes us to tests
for admitting the statement into our columns
that the Grand Army of the Republic is not
a political association, will - find upon refer
ring to last week's issue that we made the
explanation upon the authority of a high of
tidal in that_ order. We have assurances,
which we do not believe will be - violated,
that, whatever the organization may have
been elsewhere, it shall not he permitted to
be used for the advantage of any political
party in this city. Our correspondent thinks
that the order will prefess to be neutral,until,
to quote his language, "It rings in as many
Democrats as itean, and gets them pledged
to sustain the niggerites." We have only to
say that we are informed that it is simply
a benevolent association among the soldiers
for promoting their mutual interests, and
that guarantees are given us that it shall
never be perverted to any other purpose.
When we find ourself deceived—as we trust
and have confidence that we will not be—
we promise that our exposure of the matter
shall be as prompt and severe, as our dispo
sition to acquiesce in the wishes of ita ad
' herents has been fair and straight-forward.

Spiel , Letter from Girard.
GIBATID, PA., June 1,
Dear 01.creer:—Why Girard cannot; occa-'
sionally, furnish an item of news, interesting
to many readers of the'Observer, has often
been 'a query. Certainly Girard is prolific of
important events and great men., Does not
here stand the only monument to fallen patri
ots in the county? erected by one whose
"Rice" from obscurity to greatness is equaled
by few instances in the history of the coun
try! Here resides the mighty legislator
whose deeds of greatness, and wonderitil
speeches upon impeachment and subjects of
less importance to the Slate, marked a now
e-Ha in our legislation, and spread new lus
tre upon its record. Selab!
The illustrious individual who "possesses
the requisite qualifications to be presented by
the Republican party of Erie County as their
choice for representative in the next Con
gress for this district." whose long list of ur
gent friends daily plead in the advertising
columns of the Dispatch for public notice,
lives here., 'lle always hind an axe to grind,
but nevi! . got it ground. For years the .Dein
ocratic party refused to turn grind-stone for
him, but becoming extremely 'loll," he of
fared his Cutler-y to the Jacobins, who have
so admirably put edges on such bloat tools
as Beast Butler, Di D.'Forney, "our Sena
tor," and a host of other outcasts from De
mocracy. Here, too, the Elder wildly
wrought, with uprolled sleeties and sweating
brow, bearing away from the home of the in
dividual possessing the "requisite qtmlifica
lions" along list of honest names, proclaim
ing him the only man la to go to IVashing-.
ton on any account. HTyw elated 'was the
Elder when he hurried to the Didly'with his
roll of sturdy yeomen, calling upon. him to
,sacrifice a little valuable time for his coun
try; and with what fullness of heart could he
exclaim, ','Wlinle-on! McDuff,. and ii—d be
he, who first cries, hold! enough." (This
d—d is the same "divine right"; be accorded
to Democrats during the war: after "Gov.
Curtin had told him that he could serve his
country better fighting rebels at home than
by periling his valuable life in the as
chaplain or sutler.) Verily "ye have your
reward." And here, in Girard, it was, that
an aged "weak kneed" Republican father was
wont to arouse the patriotism of volunteers,
to leave home and go out in defense of their
country. During ,a burst of eloquence he
said, "Go, young men—the loved one you
leave behind will be cared for. I Tell-her, I
will be a husband to the wives and father to
the'cliildren." Seeing this renowned indi
vidual about leaving the drug store on Sat
urday evening, with a good sized bottle, we
were reminded that there was to be a meet
ing, according to orders—" Headquarters Co.
Committee, Sill's office, Erie"—in the village,
for the purpose of ratifying the nominations
and forming a Grant and Colfax club. After
considerable drumming, an organization was
effected at the tavern. It was resolved to
enter upon the campaign with a determina
tion to succeed, if military capital and whis
key could accomplish the result. Philip Os
born, Esq., was chosen President, with a list
of important_renegades 'renowned, for vice.
We understand that one Erastns Pickett,
who was on picket all winter at Harrisburg,
on small allowance, was appointed to pick
up all the old wide-awake capes and dark
lanterns used here by the same heroic com
pany, as home guards, some years ago (i.e.
during the Rebellion.)
'lt really must lx3 a bitter pill for Mr. Os
born, who. It is well known, refuses to sup
port any but temperance men for office.
Still, when the officers say, tall in "drafts,"
even• abolitionist, chtistian, temperance man
and groveling politician alike will be marched.
up to vote for Grant and whiskey.
Farewell, happy family, until next week.
As a locality, there has been vast improve
ment in and about Girard of late, which I
will notice hereafter. Yours,
MARRIED.

.POLITICAL BREVITIES.
Pont:Ey says that, do what' ho will, he
can't please the Democrats. The Pittsburgh.
Advocate says "Suppose he try taking a
little arsenic or strychnhw:"
THE Boston Post, which reeently_declared
lit favor of General Hancock as tile Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency, now
urges the Hon. Charles Francis Adams for
the Vice Presidency.
Jr is worthy Of remark, espec;ially by the
tar-payers, that the Annual Appropriation
bill, passel by the General Assembly of Ohio
this year, is almost a million of dollars less
than, it was last year, when it was Republi
can.
REV. J. K. BEECHER says : ."The less one
knows, and the more whiskey he drinks, the
more he is determined to make this a white
man's Government." Row happens it then
that the Radicals, who are determined that
this shall not be a white man's Government,
nominated Grant as their leader !
THE estimates for the War Department for
the coming year are some $80,000,000; and
the monthly expenditures are not less than
$10,000,000. The dominant party consider
it necessary to hoodwink the Elation, pending
the Presidential election, with the idea that
the army is not costing a hundred thousand
dollars a day, when really it Is maintained
at an expense of not less than $350,000 per
day. Hence the anxiety to keep in Stanton,
and cook up at the next session of Congress
a deficiency bill surpassing in enormity any
thing of the kind since the.war.
A Raw Coserraxturr.—The tither day, as
'several gentlemen were discussing the im
peachment business in this city, one of Win,
who is a Republican and who believes in fol
lowing the party if it does lead to perdition,
remarked that conviction was beaten, because
some of the Republican Senators had been
bought up with money. By way of reply or
inquiry, one of the party asked : "Why did .
not the Republicans raise money and buy up
some of the Democratic Senators to vote for
conviction ?" "Hell!" exclaimed the-,Re
publican who bad said that Republican Sen
ators had been bought up to oppose convic
tion, and there was' in the exclamation In
effable scorn, "Why, you might,ss well
dertake to move the rock of Gibralter as to
move one of those Senators to vote for con
viction." A. higher compliment could not
be paid to the integrity and incorruptibility
of the Democratic Senators than Was thus
unconsciously paid them.
COLFAX is a politician by trade, and is no
torious in Indiana as a chronic oiflce•beggar.

social relations is said to be very popular.
Ho was elected to Congress in 1834 by the
"Know Nothing" partY, and he was one of
the most bitter,iond•monthed defamers of our
foreign-born fellow citizens in that memora
ble campaign. Ho subsequently joined his
fortunes to the Republican party, and has
been in Congress as a representative of that
organization, we believe, for five terms. He
is now Speaker of the House of Representa
tives, and the record will bear us out in the
assertion that he is as much the partisan in
the Speaker's. chair as he is when on the
stump detnanding the conviction of-the Prc-t..
dent, or abusing the "Copperheadq„"
TIM Radicals seem to have any quantity
of purchaseable men in their party. The
votes of delegates in the Chicago Convention
were openly purchased ; the Radical press
allege that Senators who voted for
. sequittal
were purchased ' Ben:Hutter"; Logan, Bing
ham, &e., offered themselves for sale, during
the impeachment trial, in consideration of
the island of Alta Vela and its guano trade ;
and we find now a Radical Senator loudly
protesting that fie did not authorize his
brother-in-law to offer his vote, and that of
two other Senators, for the sum of 40,000!
AU this evidence goes to corroborate the
charge - of the Democracy, that the Radical
party is too corrupt to-longer hold the reins
of government, and that the best interests of
the country and the nation demand the ex
pulsion of this party from power.
Tom Harrisburg State Guard enumerates
sixteen counties of this State which have no
debt. Of these ten are Democratic. That is
a significant fact to which we would call the
attention of the people. Wherever theDem
°erotic party has control, economy in pub
lic' expenditures is the rule. The lucky
counties are the following, those in Italics
being Republican, the others Democratic :
Bedford, /Nair, Bradford, Cambria, Clinton,
Elk, Fulton, Juniata, Indiana, I;uzerne, Mon
tour,• Pike, Somerset, Union, Venango, and
Westmoreland.
Nome of the dozen negro delegates in the
Chicago Convention were invited to make
speeches. Why did not the whites who sat
cheek by jowl with the colored brethren give
them a chance to be heard ? Perhaps a speech
from one of them might have gone far to
wards reconciling the faithful to negro equal
ity, which will inevitably come if Grant and
Colfax should be elected.
