The Democratic State CoDTntkB luct last week at Erie, md from a list rf 19 candidates for the cScff of Gov ernor Dourtnatcd Cjras L. I'crshing, now rrestdcol Jadfe of Sctmjlkill county, Govcruor ott the Ilth ballot. The Ieaiocracy prefers to believe that it rs t pottcrTcI nomination. The Itepublieam do not fecevt tin word "poweffnl," but ere wiHrog (r io jus tice to tbeir Democratic fellow-citizens sud say that the notnioation if a good one, t9 all probability the strotrgest before the people that tho OoUTcntioo coold have preeenteJ. Mr. Pershing started on the trstbaN lot with 16 votes, and received on tho eleventh ballot 145 votes, and was de clared the nominee of the Contention. The strong politicians, or those recog nised as such, Lad been arrayed for liiglcr, Uarr, Ivoss, Noyce or Fox, aud l'ershing was quite overlooked by the chief wirepullers, but bis iu teres ts were etcadily kept ep and advanced by a few shrewd men who were doubly animted by the outside prcssnrc that was surg ing up in favor of the Jndge, in con sequence of the conviction, sentence, fining and impruronaieat of the Demo cratic Commissioners of Scboylkill county for fraudulently performing tbeir duty rs County Commisaioneis, in tbe erection of pnblie buildings. Pershing is the Jtrdge under whom they were tried aud eonvicted, and he is (he Judge, who-sentenced them. To that trial and its result bis nomination is as muck aud more oaing than to any other immediate cansc. The Boss Tweed transactions in New York, tbe York county frauds, and the general misman agement of the Democracy before tbe war, aud tbeir mismanagement every where since tne War, all needed a scape goaf, VKlhu, on which to lay their fraud? aud shortcomings, fo be driven out before tbe people aud a ew start made, and somctbtn new, of a reform character, net up in its ktcad fur the people to look at a souictbiug that should answer as the healing quality of tbe brazen serpent to tbe Democracy if they only gaze at it long enough. Thiy imagine Ibtt the conviction that took place in JoJb PerLings court is what ia to bcal them all. It is tbe ser pent ta the wilderness. "Look at it and be saved," is wbat they say. It was a most commendable thing for the Democracy to do, and tbey sboaid have all tbe honor that such an aet entitles them ro bat just why it should react so powerfully and favorably on Mr. l'ershing aud cast a halo of glory aronnd him is not so easily understood. Surely tbe District Attorney bad something to do with it, and tbe jury who found the Commissioners guilty are tbe men who should be bouorcd. Tbe Judge did uo more than was required of him by his oath cf office. "Honor to bim to whom honor is due." Judge Pcrsbiug ia a good man, but he is not invincible. He baa in his time bern defeated for Con gress, for Judge of the Supreme Court, and for Judge of the District Court of the Southern District of Cambria coun ty, lie was elected several times a member of tbe Legislatuie, aud while in that body waa an able and fearless advocate of bard money and the oppo nent of greenback currency, and the national bauki.ig system. Seventeen candidates wero before tbe Convention for tbe office of State Trea surer. On tbe third ballot Victor K. Piolctt, a farmer, a Granger, of Brad ford county, was nominated. The nominations aro not wonderful as the Democracy put it, but the somer sault of the party on the question of money is really wonderful. They aban doned tbe question of bard money en' tircly, and declared in favor of green backs, a species of money that they have always declared to be an unconsti tutional curreuey. If there is so much in tbe policy or system of finance that the Republican party established through tbe misfortunes tbat the Democratic party brought on the country, that tbe Democracy have been led to see tbe superior value of it, that they eoiue over and declare for it wholesale as it were, by whole State Conventions, as has been the case in Ohio and this State, Utterly at brie, every Republican should be proud of his political creed If the Democracy subscribe by thou sands to Republican principles, the Re publican party should bo doubly strong. Tbe Erie Convention cutirely ignored Mr. Pershing's record in the Legisla tare, where he Was one of tbe most in telligent and bitterest opponents of greenback currency, and adopted a greenback platform and placed him on it. Will the Judge stand it: It he docs be is to be congratulated on bis approach to or adoption of a Republican financial creed that he at one time re pudiated. It is pleasant to realize that slowly and steadily the ideas of the Republican party are ingratiating them selves into the uiiuds of the whole peo ple. Send Good Men as Eeturn Judges, So that Justice may be Done to Candidates, aud an Organization Secured that will Command Condence, aud Victory will be Ours. Some time ago we stated that there was an effort made to set aside a por tion of the present system of voting at tbe primary election of tbe Republican party, which would have made a rule of conduct, tbat would have been claimed as an example sufficient to follow, and thus before the party, in this county eoald awake to a sense of the danger that threatened the system that was en acted by a vote of the people at the polls, and which can only be ehanged or amended by a vote of the people of tbe party at the polls, would have been swept away and tbe old delegate sys tem inaugurated. It has been said that the system admits of corruption. If It docs, because of that, do right is given to change it except in tbe regu lar way by a vote, for or against it. If it admits of corruption it is through the judges who return the votes cast for tbe respective candidates, and that is not the fault of the system ; that is the fault of the party in allowing men ta be sent as return judges who will change the vote of the diftriet for some other one of the candidates different from the one chosen by the people. No man should be allowed ta eoara as a return judge who will do sttch things. Tbe fact is. a number of amendments should be proposed to the system and submitted to the party vote, for or against as they deem proper. One of the amendweols' should provide for tbe administration of au oatb on all of the ptimary election officers. Alt of ficers connected with tbe holding of the primary election should be sworn officers, and when the time couiej to propose amcn JmcDts to the system, a qualifying clause will be most accept able to the people of the party. Tbe organization of tbe party, from the Chairman of the Convention and Chairman of the CVanty Commit fee to tbe Senatorial conferees, and delegate to t&e State Convention shotfld be only entrusted to men who have tbe cod 6 denee of the people. If there is a mis take made in that direction, Juuiata county this year will give from one thousand to fifteen hundred Demoeratie majority. Send good men from the different districts as retors judges, so tbat every candidate in tbe field gets bis dues, 80 that tbe party is not scan dalized, discouraged, aud put out T working humor. Send good men, so that a Chairman who has tbe confidence of the party generally, and tbe ability to orgauize a vigorous campaign, be chosen1. Send good men as return judges-, so that proper delegate to the State Contention may be chosen, aud Senatorial conferees who will re flect tbe interests of the party properly may be secured. If these things are done, tbe Repub lican party in Juniata county will east a larger vote for the Republican coun ty and State ticket than baa been done for years. Tbe principles of the party tbat were against Rebellion, are as firmly enshrined in tbe hearts of the people as ever, and cm not be turned away, uprooted or worked out by any process. Bad men, however, get in sometimes. Dut this being an adjusta ble government by which unfaithful men way be put out. and others put iu, and if they, too, are unfaithful, the same process of voting them out can be ap plied to tbeir ease, and thus the whole trouble can be easily managed by tbe people, by putting out tbe vicious aud putting in tbe good. Let us all then work for the election of bones', faith ful men ou the 25th, at the Primary Eleetion, and thus secure an organisa tion tbat will command tbe confidence of tbe candidates, and tbe people gen erally, and insure a victory at tbe polls in November for both tbe State and county ticket.

Rioting in Mississippi bas prevailed to such a degree that tbe Governor of ibat State has mistrusted his own abil ity to break up tbe riotous bodies, and bas called on tbe President of the United States for help. Here is tbe Governor's call on the President, and 11 is Excellency's answer : Jackson, Miss., Sept 7. To V. S. Grant, President, Washing ton: ir Domestic violence in its most aggravated form exists in certain parts of this State. On the evening of the 4 th inst., unauthorized and illegal armed bodies overthrew the civil au thorities of Yazoo county, and took forcible possession of said county, from which tbe sheriff, the peace officer of tbe county, was compelled to flee for safety, and is still a refugee. The sheriff of this, Hinds county, reports tbat since the 4th inst. be has been un able, after every effort, to maintain peace and protect rights. lie leports various murders by unauthorixed armed bodies, who are scouring the county Warren eounty is reported as being in a stato of terrorism also from tbe dem onstrations of still other unauthorised armed bodies, and a feeling of insecu rity prevails in other parts of tbe State. After a careful examination of all the reports I find myself compelled to ap peal to tbe General Government fir means of giving that protection to which every American citizen is enti tled. I do not now make a formal ap plication under the provisions of tbe Constitution of tbe United States, but telegraph you to know if you can and will regard the proclamation issued by you in December last, on tbe applica tion of the Legislature of this State, as still in foree t Tbe necessity of imme diate action cannot be overstated. If your proclamation of December last is in force I will at once make a formal application, iu accordance with tbe pro visions of tbe Constitution of tbe United States. (Signed) Adelbert Ames. Executivx Mansion, Washington, Bcpt. 810:30 A.

I notify you of bis decision by direction of tbe President. (Signed) Levi P. Lccket, Scc'y. Despatches differ somewhat as to the origin of the riot. As near as can be ascertained at this time, the trouble be gan at a political meeting at Clinton, Miss., on tbe evening of tbe 4th inst. A joint discussion bad been agreed on. Tbe following is a statement of an eye witness of the affair : Judge Johnston, a Democrat, had spoken one hour to an audience of over 2,000, who listened attentively. Tbe Judge aaid to tbe audience that be bad never addressed a crowd as large as the present one that behaved so well and gave him such milked attention. lie hoped tbey would accord bis opponent, Mr. Fisher, the same courtesy. Fisher ascended the platform, and commenced speaking in about five minutes some one called tbe speaker a liar. There was a little commotion at this, but no violence. It was premeditated, as 1 was told by a white man the night before, that he would be shot before long. Hendricks said to me that there was to be a row out there, meaning tbe outer edge of the crowd. I paused a minute before going out. Upon hearing some very rough laugtrage I proccded to the spot indicated. W-beo I got there I asked what was the matter. A policeman said tbia man Horton had drawn a pis (ol On a colored man iu the procession, using opprobrious epithets. I remarked "Young, for God's sake don't disturb the meeting !" I saw tbat the feeling was so strong and so rletcrmincd tbat t Called upon aome other tfhile men to assist me io preserving the peace Tbey did not respond. I saw Neil Horton and Thos. White craw their pistols, and 1 stepped up to Noil, saying, "That will not do." And tbe same to Tboinp son. Tbey put their pistols ftp. Iu a few moments they dicw again,- auj tho shooting commenced. 1 saw Thompson fire first, shooting four or five times into tbe crowd. The firing then . became general, and a whole rollcy 'was re ceived by tbe crowd. Since then the scene of carnage bas become shocking. ( Large bands of whites have been marauding tbe eoun ty, killing, torturing, burning and rob bing. . It is ratoored tbat nearly one hundred negroes have fallen victims to tbe knife and pistel, their assailants ex hibiting an insatiable blood-thirstiness seldom witnessed in tbe scenes of tbe most brutal and savage warfare. Small bauds of Ku-Klux are traveling about, driving eolored women and children from tbeir homes, and at every oppor tunity murdering tbe males, whether they show signs of hostility or not. Tbe sheriffs posse bas found it impos sible to protect the negroes, and it is believed tbat if tbe State authorities do hot interfere there Will be a general and terrible massacre. The borses in the vicinity of Smyrna, Delaware, are afflicted with a disease known as "blind staggers,' which proves fatal, about fifty animals having died already. Jobn F. Wilson, Jr., of Manheiui, Rerks eounty, accidentally blew bis brains out while endeavoring to capture a burglar the other night. Tbe trigger of his gun caught in an obstruction and the piece being discharged, the load took effect in his head. From Seaford, Delaware, cornea the terrible story of tbe attempted crema tion of allegro child by its demented mother. It seems the child, a gill two years old, bad died early iu the morn ing, and without telling any one she wrapped it up in old lags and Bid it under bcr bed. . At night she started a fire in the stove, and bringing tbe body out from tbe bed, laid it ou top of the stove, and then sat down in a chair close to it. A number of young gentlemen who were returning from a party, on passing the bouse, bad their attention attracted to the spot by a peculiar smell which emanated from tbe house. One of them alighting, went to the door and on looking in, exclaimed "My God ! Jane is roastiog her baby !" The rest of the men tben rushed to tbe scene, and took tbe corpse, which was enveloped in smoke aud scorched. rags, from off the stove. Tbo woman com menced screaming, and made several ineffectual attempts to rescue her babe from the haodi of " the white devils." Tbe men put tho fire out, and getting a box, put the corpse in it, and sariicd it away with them and buried it. A good deal was expected of a man servant in the olden time. The folio ing is a copy of a handbill circulated in Peterborough, England, 17&4 : "Want cd for a sober family, a man of light weight, who fears tbe Lord and can drive a pair of horses, lie must occa sionally wait at the table, join in house hold prayers, look after the borses and read a chapter in the bible.

Mrs. Morgan Calvert, a young widow, who lives with bcr brothor two miles from Milansport, Pa., was left alone in her isolated bouse for several days. On Thursday afternoon a rough- looking fellow called at tbe bouse, and after asking many questions, begged for a supper and night's lodging, lie was refused. Thereupon he went away, muttering to himself. A littlo later Mrs. Calvert was obliged to go out, and on ber return she saw a man crouching behind the door between the sitting room and her bed room. He did not seem to see ber, aud she saw bim only through a narrow crack. There were fire-arms in tbe bouse, which Mrs. Cal vert knew bow to use. Without an outcry sho went upstairs and got a re volver, and biding it under ber apron, started boldly for tbe room in which be was lurking. As Mrs. Calvert ap proached the door the man threw it open suddenly, jumped out, and struck ber in the face. Recovering quickly from tbe blow, she drew the revolver, upon seeing which the tramp turned to flee. She fired once and wounded bim, and then started to pursue him. As he dis appeared around the bouse she fired again, at which he turned about and cried, "Don't shoot again, woman ; I'm a dead man now." As be spoke, he staggered against a fence and then fell. He begged for aid, and Mrs. Calvert placed bim in a comfortable position, after which she started for a physician. As hd approached the bouse the tramp who bad first called upon ber rushed out and made bis escape, and under tbe excitement ahe fell fainting near tbe roadside. Two hours later she was dis covered by friends, who listened to ber story, and went to find tbe man whom she bad wounded. He was dead. JVetrport A' net, 4A inst.

The Johnstown Tribune says: An other terrible fatality occurred on tbt railroad west of this place last even ing, the recital of tbe details of which is enough to make the blood run cold. An aged man and his wife were walk ing dowu the north track of tbe Penn sylvania Railroad, about half a mile eact of forty, when .freight train going in, the. same direction whistled, and they stepped to the south track to get out of the way. Just at (hat in stant the Johnstown Accommodation east, came along, and as the curve is very abort the engineer did n6t observe them nntil too late. Tbe pilot of the engine struck them, and both were thrown against the embankment at the side of the road, from whence they rolled down into the ditch. The train was immediately atopped, bet when some of the horrified passengers reached the spot they found the old couple with out a treatb of life, and lying within a short distance of each other. Their death must have been instantaneous, as it did not require more than a minute or two to baok down to the spot where tbe tragedy occuned, and their hearts had then ceased to beat. The bodies were at once p'aoed on tbe rear ear and taken dowu to Derry, when a most narrowing scene occurred. A son of tbe dead couple, who is sged about 18 years, bappebed to catch sight of his mother, and upon fiuding tbat the lamp of ber life had gone out forever he gave way to tbe most bitter lamentation. When be had calmed down somewhat be asked for his father, and when tbe terrible dual fate was unfolded to him he stood paralyzed with grief. Even the spectators were melted to tears at the saddening sight, and few could re main to witness bis agony. Tbe vic tims of this awful accident were named Serrii.a, aud they bad been up the road last evening for the purpose of procu ring some corn and bops, a small sack containing these ai tides being in the possession of tbe husband when be was killed. In tbe twinkling of an eye without one moment to thiuk of iin pending death they were suatcbed from cartb, and together their souls went forth from the clayey tenement containing them. Tbey leave nine children to mourn their fate, and It may well be believed they are inconsolable. It was indeed terrible. A son of Hon. C. R. Drockway, of yioouitburg, died from lockjaw some days ago. He had stepped upon the tooth of a garden rake.

This thrilling deer story cornea from Shohola, Pa., under date of Aug. 30th : Yesterday afternoon thtee young wo men, residing near the Big Brink Pond, in Shohola township, started to go berrying. Tbey were obliged to cross tbe poud to reach the woods. Before entering the boat they saw something iu the distance swimming in tbe water. Thinking it was a dog, they paid no further attention to it, but started on' their way across tbo pond, which is about two miles wide. .After rowing for several hundred yards, tbe girl wbo was piloting the boat saw that wbat they first thought to be a dog swim ming iu the water was a back, which was coming directly toward them Having a clumsy pair of oars, it was sown time before the boat could be toocd, and tlx a the deer tad reached to within a few yards or toera. ine girls became greatly terriCad, for tbe deer was fast gaining on them, and ... . a . swi from the way it snorted and plunged, tbey were satisfied it meant mischief. While the one rowed with all her might the other two paddled, thus somewhat iucreasing their speed ; but the deer was slowly gaining on them, and know ing they could not reach the shore be fore being overtaken, they ceased row ing to prepare for tho inevitable battle. Whin tbe deer, snorting and plunging, bad reached to within a few feet of the boat, it stopped for a moment. Tben it made a sudden plunge, and as its bead atrnck tbe side of tbe boat tbe brave girls brought down their raised paddles upon it with such force as to drive it under water. Tbe girls again raised tbeir only weapon, and as the head rose to tbe surface they again brought their paddles to bear upon it with the same result. When tbe deer again raised from the water it seemed to realize that this was to be the death struggle, and ita eyes gleamed like balls of fire. It mado a lunge, and threw ita fore feet over the side of the boat near tbe oar lock. This nearly capsized the clumsy craft, and threw Maggie Jordan, the oldest of the three, into tho water ; bnt as she fell she caught tbe edge of the boat, and was hauled in by one of ber companions. Tben the bcroiue at the oars, as she felt tbe animal's breath in her face, raised a paddle, and struck for ber life, and as the blow fell across tbe deer's head the blood started from its nostrils, and it sauk back helpless and seeming ly dead, but really only stunned. Tbe girls then started for the shore, leaving tbe deer struggling between life aud death in the water. Reaching the shore one of the girls ran to a small log cabin, an eighth of a mile distant, in which lived a family by tbe name of Burger, and told what bid occurred. Mr. Bergcr seized his rifle aud went to tbe pond, Where be found tbe wounded deer yet struggling iu tbe water, a few rods from tbo shore. He rowed out to it, and seising it by the autlers, cut its throat, and then towed the body to tbe shore. The deer was tbo largest ever killed in the neighborhood, weighing 227 pounds. Miss Mioklrf, of Story county, Ne vada, is full of pluck, if tbia story is true. Both bcr arms were taken off at once by tbe sickle of a reaper.

The trial of Westcrvclt in Philadel phia, as an accomplice of the abductors of Charley Ross, has resulted iu the publication of nunicroua letters written and sent by the scoundrels to Mr. Ross,' relative to tho missing child, and the manner of obtaining a ransom for his return. We pnbluh one of the letters as a sample of those written by tbe ab ductors. It professes to have been written at New Brunswick, September 3, 1S74, and reads : .Mr. If os it looks very strange to us that you ehtuld quiblc about the name to address us. is your object to keep tbe detectives luformcd of our where abouts by having us writing you so often, it looks so but time will prove all things, our advice is to you and it is better than all the detectives com bined can give you is to act squarely in tbis business if yon have any regard for your child, we think wo have cau tioned you enough on this point, we are workiug the thing np to their iuter intercst. we know all about their do ings and how tbey are bleeding you and Mr louis out of your money, you will open your eyes to their games, by the by we could tell you much about tbem but our place is to keep mum and yours to investigate before you give more money out. it makes us jealous to see you pay out your money foolishly when tbey can give you nothing in return but a parcel of fabricated lies, we ronfes we are bleeding you too but we bave an equivalent to gire yen in return, if your child is auy equivalent, you will find sooner or later tbat there is no otber earthly party in this world to deal with than ourselves for your child.
