, The Iris Convention.
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

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.

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.

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. He must,
God willing, rise at seven in the morn'
ing, and obey bis master and mistress
in all lawful commands. If be can
dress hair, sing psalms and play at crib
bage, the more agreeable. N. R. He

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.

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.

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. Her
father and the hired man were paral
ysed with horror. Miss M inkier quiet
ly called to them each to seize tbe
slumps above tbe wound aud compress
tbem, which they did. She then told
them to walk her to the road, and they
obeyed. She was taken home, the
wouuds were dressed, and tho poor girl
is going to recover.
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.
Mr. Ros why coold not your relative
give auy name so that we could bave a
name to address bim ? it matters not
what tbe came is we shall regard him
as yourself in every sense of the word
so look to whom you appoint to transact
tbis business for you. we tell you posi
tively and absoluty tbat on bia acts
right or rong square or crooked in deal
ing with us the life or death of your
child shall bang now. Mr. Ros you
may appoint any one yon please to
transact tbe bisincs witb us but we want
you to bear in mind tbat bia acts are
your acts and it shall be consumated
just as yon will it and if yon want
your child safe and sound this is the
final day of salvation, we bave been
ai least under $15 a day expense since
we bad bim bnt tbat is our own affair,
you may have been under five times
tbat expense for wbat we know. Mr
Ross you most not be deceived from
this because we are under expenses from
keeping bim tbat we will turn him loose
should you not meet our demands, we
tell you positively we eould not do it
we would not do it should it benefit us
the whole amount of tbe $20,000. you
may think from this that should you
pay tbe demands we miht not then re
turn your child. Mr Ros when yon
bave paid our demands io good faith
you have answered all we ran ask of
yon and we tell yon as we have told
yon before that year child is not worth
one cent to ns after tbat only to return
him to yon and we would not fail in
an event to return bim to yon for $10,
000. strange as tbis may appear to you
yet it ia our interest to do so. should
you not come to terms it is our interest
tbat you never get him and you may
rely on it you never will alive, you
may think tbis is too cfuel for any siv
elucd persona to perpetrate bnt we tell
yon positively it is the lot of one of us
rr i, if it comes to the crises.
you will not be able by any quibbling
to stay the nana or iaie mucu
from him. we have kept bim over one
hundred days longer than we expected,
no it i for Jou alone to. say whether
be shall live or die. this is tbe last
letter we shall ever send you till we
send you the final one revealing to jou
where he is either alive or dead just as
you will it to be. yon need ask no
more questions for they will not be
noticed no auswer will be returued. if
you appoint any one to conduct this
business for yon let him come to New
York make it known through personal
with any address be cboses. this ad
dress will be (John Jonathan is stop
ping at so and a ) Jonathan or who
be may be must not leave the hotel till
be bears from us. if you mean square
bUinesa have your personal in Friday's
frnW(N. Y.) and be in New York on
Saturday morning. Mr Ros bear in
mind this is the last and final lettif Jou
ever reeeive from ns unless you como
to New York to close tbis biMoess.
