Mouiton, tUe so-called " mutual friend' of lieecber and Tilton, has taken Mr. Beecher at bis word, aod made and published a statement of wbat he knows about the scandal. The most note worthy point indeed there is no other new point in it in the allegation that Mr. Bowen, proprietor of the Indepen dent, was engaged in whispering scan dalous thing about Mr. lieecber before tbe trouble between lieecber and Mrs. Tiltun was known, or made public. The very remarkable feature about the statement ii, that it should contain bo i tuauy letters that never ch' uli hive left the keeping of those to whom they were addressed. How many of thenc i were t btaiued uuder tbe threat of shoot ing, J!r. .'litulton does not state, it would have been interesting, aud not hard for him to have stated bow many were obtained in that way.

J .. ,a 1UI Be large a t "on vent ion, composed of 250 delegates, to d, with eager, earnest, and jealous candidates for their is al ways to a greater or less degre jeal ousy between candidates before it for nomination. - It closed its business in such a satisfactory manner that the party is infiuitely stronger in this State than it has been at any time within Wn years. It was so fair in all of ils transactions that all candidates and their rcpective friends went home sat isfied that no injustice had been done them, and that if they failed iu secur ing tbe nomination of their choice, tbey did not fail because of any unfair means that bad been employed against them, but that they had not tbe requisite nu merical strength to gain tba nomina tion they desired. The absorbing question before the delegates was that of nominating a Judge for the Supreme bench. The chief rival candidates were Judges Edward M. Paxsnn, of Philadelphia, and William Butler. On Tuesday evening, the eveuiug of the day pre ceding tbe day on which the nomina tions were made, the friends cf these gentlemen were earnestly farthering the interests of their candidates, A call had been posted for all Butler men and all delegates who were not com mitted to any candidate to meet in cau cus at the Kirkwood House at 9 o'clock that evaniog. The call was largely responded to, and an organixation for action next day was effected. The Paxon men had also made preliminary arrangements for action on Weduesday, while some forty odd scattering dele gates chose to present caudidates for judicial honors in their respective dis tricts. A call for a general caucus, to arrange for temporary organixa tion at 91 o'clock on Wednesday morning at the Opera House was also posted. At the hour of 91 o'clock on Wednesday morning two hundred del egates bad assembled in caucus at the Opera House. Kussell Errett, chair man of the State CeLtral Committee, called the caucus to order, and stated the object of the meeting was to bar monixe on the order of business, so that tbe t ouvention, when it met at noon, might be facilitated in its work. But ler B. Strang, of Tioga county, and H. Jones Brooks, of Delaware county, were nominated for chairman. A rising vote counted for Strang IOC, for But ler 41. B. F. Snodgrass, of Alle ghany, and Henry Taggert, of Phila delphia, were elected secretaries By motion nine gentlemen were appointed a committee to report the order of busi ness for the conveution. In due course of time this special committee reported a programme of business for the con vention. It was acceptable excepting the order to nominate the candidate for Supreme Judge first. A number of delegates thought the nomination of a candidate for Lieutenant Governor should have precedence. A motion was made to amend the reported order so as to place the Lieutenant Governor first and tbe Supreme J udge second on tbe list. On a rising vote by count the chair announctd the result to be in favor of amendment 101, opposed 92. A demand for a vote by yeas and nays having been insisted npon by a number delegates, resulted in a reversal of the J J 9 J Several doloates declared that ...1 111-' 107, nays 109 they had recorded the votes as called aud announced, and pronounced the count of the votes of the secretaries as not correct. The excitable element of tbe caucus thereupon became consideiably , . , exercised. As it had become a qucs g despatch tion of veracity between the secreta ries and those of the delegates who had recorded the vote of their own free will, the wholo caucus became some, what perplexed. After considerable discussion it was concluded to leave the question as to which candidate should be nominated first, to the Con vention when it should assemble. The caucus then adjourned. At 12 o'clock the Convention assem bled. Hon. George Lear, of liuckj cojuty, and Gen. William Lilly, of Carbon connty, were nominated for temporary chairman. On a vote by yeas and nays, Lear received 13S votes and Lilly 10 1. Judge Lear mounted the platform aud after delivering a speech announced the Convention ready for business. The following gentle men were selected secretaries : Kdward Scull, of Somerset ; Lucius Rogers, of McKean ; It. L. Suodgrass, of Alle ghany ; Henry L. Taggart, of Phila delphia ; Cyrus T. Fox, of Berks, anJ John A. Swartz, of Cumberland. As per understanding in caucus dar ing the forenoon, the usual committees on credentials, resolutions and perma nent organization were formed. The Convention then took a recess till 3 o'clock. On assembling at 3 o'clock tba chair- rrao of the committee on permanent organization reported for president Hon. James S. Uutan, of Beaver coun ty, with a full compliment of vice pres idents and the following secretaries : Lucius Koger, V. C. Arnold, Edward Scull, R. L. Snodgrass, II. L. Taggatt, 0. T. Fox, and J. A. Swartx. Some one, not liking Mr. Rutan for president, objected to the report. It was, however, adopted by an almost unanimous viva vocr. vote, whereupon Mr. Uutan took tbe chair, and, alter delivering a brief speech, declared all things ready for business. A motion was made and carried to submit to the committca on resolutions all resolutions, without debate. At this j-iticture tbe question as to which of the candidates, that of So preuie Judge or Lieutenant Governor, should be nominated first, again came np, by delegate rucving that the Con vention proceed to nominate a candi date for Lieutenant Governor. A del egate moved to amend so as to place the nomioatiou of Supreme Judge first. On a vote by yeas and nays the amend ment was adopted yeas 139, nays 109. The following gentlemen were then placed in nomination for Supreme Judge : " K. M. Henderson, of Cumberland. E. M. Paxson, of Philadelphia. M. Russell Thayer, of Philadelphia J. A. Logan, of Westmoreland. Judge Win. M. Hall, of Bedford. B. F. Junkin, of Perrj. Wo. Butler, of ( heater, with the following result : Paxson .144 Henderson..... 4 Butler 62 Junkia '4 Logan 21 Thayer. 1 Hall IS The nomination of Mr. Paxson was then made unanimous. On motion the Convention proceed ed to. ballot for a candidate for Lien- tenant Governor. M. nail Stanton, James L. Graham, J. C. Flenniken, A. G. Olmstead, John M. Devine, Sam uel Knorr, Henry M. Doyt, Jacob M. Cioipbell, James Sill and S. A. Par viance were placed in nomination. A letter was read from Hon. James Sill, of Erie county, withdrawing his name as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Tbe vote for Lieutenant Governor resulted as follows : StantoD 48 (rrariam.. ....... 21 Flenniken....... 29 Olmsted. ....... 67 Knorr... lloyt Campbell ..... n .... 17 Purviance ...... . 10 No choice. Tbe names of S. A. Parvianc6 and Henry M. Hoyt were withdrawn. It was orderdcred that on each succeeding ballot tba candidate having tbe lowest number of votes thould be dropped. Tbe Convention then proceeded to a second ballot. Stanton 39 (irabaiu 33 Flenniken 27 Olmsted 102 Knorr .......... II Campbell 30 No choice In accordance wita the rule the name of Mr. Knorr was drop ped. Mr. Flcuuiken's name was with draw. Tbe third ballot resulted : Stanton 2901metel V, Graham 38 Campbell 24 Mr. Olmstead was declared the noru iuce for Lieutenant Governor, and, on motion, the nomination was made unan imous. The Convention then proceeded to the nomination of Auditor General. General Harrison Allen wa nominated. It was moved that be be made the can didate by acclamation. At this junc ture au exceedingly humorous scene was enacted. A Delaware connty del egate sprang to hit feet and declared that the most popular men in Pennsylvania- were "Smith, Brown, and Jones," and be woe'? nominate Mr. Jones, of Susquehaoi county, for Auditor Gen eral. Another delegate nominated Mr. ScbaOer, of Alleghany, for tbe same olEce. But before it was under stood that the nomination of Jones and ScbafTer bad been made ia good faiththe Convention bad by an almost unanimous vote declared for Allen. This action brought out the friends of Mr. Jones and Mr. Schaffer with such vehement gesticulation and wild speech that it T7ss all looked npon as play; but gradually it became understood that they were in terrible earnest. Then the sense of the Convention that Jones and ScbatTer should be placed before that body as candidates in all fairness became manifest by quite an excite ment that for a time kept the president from announcing that Mr. Allen had indeed already been nominated, and 1 ,r7 of ucn Tt 'nt as ours, and as that in order to get Mr. Jones and Mr. ! .,L,U CLn be ,uM 0,1J J.d"'inS , , .. , , iislation so as to secure a just proteeuou Schaffer before the Convention the pre-Und reWiird , ert branal of injus. vious action would have to be recon-1 try, we are in favor of giving prece sidered. This was oil on the troubled dence to these measures which shall waters, aud a motion was quickly made j recognize agricultural, mining, nunu- in ri'ennside. Thera heinp nn nhiei.-1 tion, Allen, Jones and Schaffer were quickly balloted for with the following result : Allen. ... Schaffer. Jones . . . 1W. JO 18 Certain pirtics in tbe Convention, when they discovered tbe absence of a delegate by a second call from the sec retary for tbe vote, repeated for the absent member, to suit the predilec tion of tbe repeater. One of the party engaged aod caught at that work was i led oat of the house by the Sergeaot-at-Arms. Tbe nomination of General Allen was made unanimous. The next aud final nomination was tbat of General Robert II. heath for Secretary of Internal Affairs. He was nominated by acclamation. The chairman of the committee on resolutions reported a series of resolu tions as published in this paper. Pend ing their adoption Mr. Wm. Allison of ferred a resolution which be desired to have referred to the committee on res olutions. He proceeded to read the resolution. The reading of the reso lution was listened to' with attention until it became manifest that it was in tended as a pledge by the Convention to a third term nomination of Presi dent uranr. i nat was enough, it was indignantly shouted out ot the Conven tion. The president was not permitted to submit it to the Convention. In thus emphatically pronouncing against the "third term," the Convention bnt expressed the sense of he mass of the Republican pary fhroughou the Stare. General Koontxe moved that tbe res olution proposing Governor Hartranft for the Presidency in 1876 be dropped. The motion was defeated and the reso lutions adopted. The Convention adjourned about 7 o'clock P. M., with the best of feeling, and impressed with the fact tbat the Republican party has passed tbe ordeal of the first convention nnder tbe new Constitution, and become n stronger organization than it has been within ten years. The qualifications of voters as pre scribed by tbe new Constitution are as follows. (See Art. 8, Sec. 1.) Every male citizen twenty-one years of age, possessing the following quali fixations, shall be entitled to vote at all elections : First. He shall have been a citizen of the United States at least one mouth. Second. He shall have re sided in the State one year (or if, hav ing previously been a qualified elector or native bom citizen of the State, he shall have removed therefrom and re turned, then eix months,) immediately preceding the election. Third. He shall bave resided in the election dis trict where he shall offer to vote at least two months immediately preced ing' the election. Fourth. If twenty two years of age or upwards, he shall bave paid within two years a State or eonnty tax, which shall have been as sessed at least two months and paid at lra!t one month before the election. Resolutions as Adopted by the Republican State Conven tion at llarrlaburi;, on tbe 19lb Inst. FirJ. That tbe steady and large re daction of the State and national debts since the Republicans have bad con trol of tbe State aod National Govern ments, and tbe equally steady reduc tion in taxation, as we.l as tbe hijrb character for integrity and efficiency of the State and National administrations, are the best possible evidences that tbe Commonwealth and the country have been well governed, and that the peo ple have everything to hope aod noth ing to fear from tbe continuance of the Republican party in power. The Dem ocratic party, as it exists to day, is the same party in aim, in principle, and in purpose that it has always been. It has never retracted any part of the bad record it made, both before and daring the war, and it has cever recanted any of the multitude of errors ii has com mitted. It is the same party to day that it was when it plunged this State almost hopelessly into debt, and bur dened it with a heavy load of taxation, and the people, having driven it from power ou account ot iu transgression aud shortcomings, to restore it with its nuinbetless sins uurepentod of, and uo atoned for, would be an endorsement of tbat which the people have so ofteu and so thoroughly condemned. Second. The Republicans of Penn sylvania having been the first to demand a change in the constitution that would abolish special legislation and all its attendant evils, and the necessary leg islation for the call of a Coastitmtioaal Convention fo tbat purpose having emanated from th-ni, we are jastiSed in rejoicing to day over the aceomp Uh men! of that great reform, and over the delivery of the o'ate from the evil eoa sequences of the old systeai. Third The movement for tbe form ation of tbe new constitution having been made and carried te completion under its auspices, the task of pitting into operation the machinery of the new fundamental law belongs to it of right, and tbe duty it involved will be, as it has been, faithfully performed in it. Fourth,, nasmnrh as great abuses have grown up in this State under our presant system of fees as a compensa tion for county officers, we demand such legislation as will substitute adequate salaries for fees, and such as will allow no more than a fair and juat compen sation for services rendered. Fifth. We look with pride and sat isfaction upon our common-school sys tem which has grown up nader the fos-' tering care of the Slate, and as it is now niunificeatly endowed by the annual appropriation from the State, secured to it by the new constitution, the State is bound to see tbat ail her children are duly educated under it in the duties of citizenship, that tbey may thereby be come better able to enjoy and perpet uate our popular institutions. Sixth. We recognize that as the true policy of government, which shall Lar monue all the diversified interests aod pursuits necessarily exitting in a coun- . . . ' entitled to tbe amplest protection aud fullest development ; of putting a stop to large grants of the public domain to railroad corporations, and reserving it for settlement and cultivation ; of im proving the navigation of onr great in land rivers ; of securing cheap trans portation and profitable markets for tbe products of agricultural and manufac turing labor ; of encouraging such man ufactures as shall bring thj producer and consumer in the neighborhood of each other, and thus to establish mutual relations between them and those en- ggcJ in commerce and the transport lion oi property : aajusiing tne rela tions between capital and labor in order tbat tbey may receive a just and equi table share of the profits ; and of hold ing those in the possession of corporate wealth and privileges in strict conform ity to the law, so that, through tbe com bined influences, people of the varied pursuits may be united together in the common purpose of preserving tbe honor of the nation and developing the im mense resources of every section of the Union, and of advancing the social aod mutual prosperity of all its industrial and laboring classes. Seventh. Tbe paralysis which has fallen upon the manufacturing indus try of this country within tbe past year is a fresh evidence of the necessity of that protection to our manufacturing interests for which the Republicans of Pennsylvania bave always fought. Tbe reduction of tbe tariff, accompanied as it was by largely increased importations, not only helped to bring on tbe panic, but bas rendered tbe recovery from it more difficult as well as lamentably slow. Eighth. The attempt made just prior to the adjournment of Congress to es tabhsh free trade through the agency of a reciprocity treaty with Canada de mauds the severest condemnation. It was an effort to accomplish, tbiougb the treaty-making power alone, that which belongs properly, and by right, to the popular branch of the Govern ment, and to pnt redress out of tbe people's reach for twenty-one years to come. Tbe control over the subject of national revenue was placed by the Constitution in the hands of tbe imme diate Representatives cf the people, and we protest against any scheme to take it out of their hands by means of a treaty which the people cannot abro gate or repral. AinA. The frantic effoits now mak ing by the Democratic party to bring on a war of races in tbe South, with the design of depriving a portion of its citizens of the rights which belong to them, show that the mission of the Ke publican party has not ended, and that its further continuance is necessary to secure the rights which belong to all. - Tenth. Emancipation and enfran chisement having been secured by tbe adoption of the thirteenth and fifteenth amendments to tbe Constitution of tbe United States, and by the necessary legislation for their enforcement, and the equality of civil rights having been guaranteed by the fourteenth amend ment, it is tbe imperative duty of Con gress to see that such guarantee is en forced by appropriate statutes. Eleventh. The establishment of tbe national bank system having secured to the people of tbe entire nation tba best system of bank currency ever before offered to them, tbe privileges of tbat system should no longer be confined to a privileged class, but should be free to I all under general and equal laws, tbe aggregate volume of the curreocy to be regulated by tbe necessities of the peo ple and the recognized laws of trade. Twelfth. We reaffirm tbe declaration of tbe National Republican Convention of 1872, iu favor of a return to specie payments at the earliest practicable day. Thirteenth. That the Republican par ty continue to remember with gratitude the soldiers and sailors of the Repub lic for '.be patriotism, courage aud self sacrifice with which tbey gave them selves to the preservation of tbe counly,,, cu,, to Society Ladies; Ruined try during the late civil war. tourteei.th. Jhat, enteitaining tne tuliest confidence in tne nign personal integrity, ability and statesmanship of Governor John F. Hartranft, we un hesitatingly present him to our Repub lican friends throughout the Union as a candidate for nomination to the Presi dency in 1376. His blameless and ex alted character as a man, his extraor dinary ability as sn administrative of ficer, the pnrity of bis private and pub lie life, and hi splendid record as a soldier, all commend biui to ao enthu siastic and hearty support for a position which he ia so well qualified to adoro. Seiolv'd, Thst tbe candidates this day nominated, in conjunction with tbe president of this convention, be author ised te appoint the chairman of the State Committee, and t'lat tbe com mittee consist of two from each Sena torial district in Philadelphia and Alle ghany county, two Caen from Chester, Montgomery, Berk, Lancaster, Dau phin, Luserne, and Schuylkill enauties, j and one from each of tbe other coun ties. Resolved, That the General Govern ment, bavintr determined that tbe one hundredth anniversary t American In dependence shall be celebrated in the metropolis of Pennsylvania, it becomes the duty of onr representatives in Con gress and the Legislature to give their earnest support to such measures as will tend to the success of that great event, and we sail npon the people of the Commonwealth to emulate each other in displaying the products of their in dustry and the resources of onr State. Tbo DetUocrattcCoaaty Con' wentlon. At 2 o'clock p. a., on Monday the Dem ocratic County Convention convened in C raj bill's HjII, and in the absence of Mr. Me-Knight, Chairman of the County Com mittee, was called to order by John C. Mo ser, of this town. Ob motion John Pit-trick was chosen without a dissenting voice Chairman of the Convention. Mr. Dietrick, on taking the chair, deliv ered a speech a la President Urant.
