TtlE Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, J udge Pershing, by his course
in the Legislature seemed wore in favor
of the Aristocratic system of govern
ment that the South rebelled to per
petuate, than in favor of the free and
equal syitein of government of the
North, for he uniformly voted in such
a wiy in the Legislature that the rebels
South were encouraged. He opposed
the passage of the bill that allowed the
Northern soldiers to vote while in the
army.
m m
There is a great ado over Judge
Pershing sentencing, tn accord with the
finding of a jury, two Commissioners
of Schuylkill county. A Pittsburg
Judge did the same thing some time
since, and no one thonght anything
more of it than that he had discharged
his duty. Now they wish to confer the
Governorship on Judge Pershing for
discharging his duty. The (raise that
is heaped on the Judge is an indirect
censnro on the bencb generally ; it is
as much as saying that judges general
ly do not discharge their duty.
k have no word to say against
Judge Pershing, personally. He is a
member in good stauding in the Pres
byterian church, an elder, we believe.
It is presumed that he desires no con
cealment of his public record while in
the Legislature. If he has outgrown
the antiquated opinions that he advo
cated then, his friends may state so,
and thereby put him in accord with ad
vanced opiuion to-day. In 18G3,
while a member of the Legislature, he
voted against a bill to prohibit corpo
rations from paying their employes in
orders on stores. bile it is right
that an employe should favor hi eui
p'oyer as much as ho ean in the way of
exchange payments, it is wrong for a
corporation to compel employe to ac
cept orders on stores that they own.
If the ptoplo of thts commonwealth
wish to place a man at its head 'who
favors su;h an order kysfem for corpo
rations, they should support Judge
Pershing ; if they are opposed to such
a system, they will support Governor
II art ran ft.
JrfK3E pEBsntso is quite an able
van, but like many other able men hrj
has bad pclitical Views that ftiduced
him to act with Southern men, when
they attempted to destroy the Govern -ment,
and thereby break up thi North
cru system of civilization. The South
ern men did not matter so much as to
the Government ; it was the system of
civilization they desired to destroy. It
was a system that recognized slavery
as the corner stone of civilization that
they wished to establish generally.
When President. Lincoln issued Lis
proclamation to destroy the Southern
system of civilization slavery Mr.
Pershing raid. Do not do it, you dare
not do it. and more than that, he voted
tor resolutions that were before the
Pennsylvania Legislature denouncing
Mr. Lincoln for issuing the emancipa
tion. The Piltsburg Coantrcial, says
The nominee of the Democrats for
State Treasurer was a member of the
Pennsylvania Ilonne of Representatives
in 185C, when Messrs. Digham, and
Ililaods were members from this coun
ty. He was during the ies::on, a
me.ubcr of the Committee on Rinks,
and Mr. Hilands, of this county, was
on that committee with him. Strong
efforts were made that year, to repeal
the charter of the liehigh County Rank.
The Rank Committee were equally di
vided about ,he reporting of this bill
It was held over nearly a mo ith, as
was understood at the instance of Mr.
Piolict. Daniel M'Cook, a younger
brother of Dr. M'Cook, late of Pitts
burg, was at llarrisburg lobbying for
the bill. Moses Y. Reach, of New York,
was the chief owner of the bank. It
was understood that Piollet was in treaty
with M'Cook about getting this bill out
of the Rank Committee. The whole
faets as proved before Judge Pearson,
before whom M'Cook was afterwards
tried, were about as follows ; Negotia
tions bad been going on for some time
between M'Cook and Piollet about get
ting the bill out of the committee.
Finally arrangements were made that
the uioncv was to bo paid the next
morning. All the parties were Demo
crats and boardiugat theRuehler House.
M'Cook had Col. Piper, of Bedford,
concealed, rollod up iu a buffalo robe
under his bed to hear what passed at
the payiueut of the money. Piollet
was paid $ ll.'O in notes of the Plain
fkld Rank of New Jersey, and the bill
was to be reported at the next meeting of
the committee. Piollet, however blow,
ed on M'Cook, and laid the money on
his desk iu the hall of the House, and
stated he bad been offered it as a bribe.
M'Cook was bound over and tried be
fore J udge Pearson about a tLonth after
ward and was convicted of the offense.
Thaddeus Stevens deluded M'Cook,
Ou the trial Piollet was examined as
the chief witness. Among other things,
he stated, having gone into M 'Cook's
room and received the $400; ho re
turned to his own room, sat down and
counted the money, and he said be wept
to think that anybody would be, or
could be bribed for $100. TbadJeus
Stevens said, "Gentlemen of the jury,
1 have been doubting Mr. Piollct'a
statement heretofore. Herd is one part
I snppose to bo exactly true. He tells
you about counting the money in his
own room, shedding Uars. He admit
ted that he was not aware of its being
Plaiufield Rauk notes until this point
of time. Now, be knew that Plaiufield
Rank was in bad repute, in fact be sup.
posed it to be utterly worthless. Theje
tears fell not because of the attempt to
bribe him but because he thought they
had passed utterly worthless paper upon
him. His virtue could not stand an
attempt to bribe him with counterfeit
uioney. Now, Gentlemen of the jury
had be not gotten into a passion over it,
had he gone to a broker's aud learned
that be could have bad them chanced to
gold or silver for from five to seven per
cent., he would have pocketed tbe in
suit and you would have been saved the
trial of M'Cook."

For stupid inconsistency, commend

Advancing. It is so good to hear
this kind of testimony that we take
pleasure in extending its circulation
Says the Richmond Enquirer, " We
verily believe that the course of the
negro is onward and npward. He may
stumble by the wayside or be led aside
by the siren song of the deceiver, but
in the end be will undoubtedly become
a worthy, productive and effective citi
zen." An opinion of this kind, ema
nating from tbe midst of the negro
country, must, of course, be founded
on actual observation of what is going
on. It is not a piece of philosophy,
an extract from a book of ethics; but
is the result of tests made before the
syes of the writer, and is therefore
valuable and encouraging. If twelve
years after freedom this can be said,
what may be expected in a century ?

On motion the convention proceeded
to the Domination of a candidate for
the office of Protbonotary. E. Lau
ver, D. S. Ewing and J. Reidler were

delegates and Loudon receiving 14
The Chair declared Mr. Parker tbe
nominee of the party for County Trea
surer. Tbe nomination was made
unanimous by the convention.
Just why the nomination of Treasu
rer should ecgross nearly the whole at
tention cf the assembly generally is
not known to the uninitiated, but such
was the case, and after the nomination
of that officer, the greater portion of
tbe spectators present left tbe conven
tion. A Connty Commissioner for the cast
end was nominated. Mr. D. R. Cox
was the gentleman who received the
unanimous aye.
For the west end of tbe 'county
James McLaughlin and O. M. Keriin
were placed in nomination. The roll
call resulted first in a tie, and second,
20 for McLaughlin, 16 for Kcrlin. Mr.
McLaughlin was declared the nominee
of the party for the office of Commis
sioner for the west end.

nounced as next in order. A. J. Pat

in nomination, with tbe following result
on first roll call : Patterson 20, Rurch
field 1G. Mr. Patterson was declared
the nominee of the party, and his nom
ination was nude unanimous.
A County Audi tor was tbe next office
to provide with a candidate. A dele
gate nominated William Hoffman, of

moved that be be nominated by accla
mation. The Domination tod acclatua-

is the best that
tion clause brought Mr. Dietrick, of
Patterson, to the Coor, in a speech. He
declared that Mr. Hoffman might be
the very best kind of a man ; he had
nothing to say as to that, for he does
not know bim, but he dsired to place a
man in nomination also for the west
side of the rivtr. The man be pro
posed to mention Is a good man. " Who
is he !" chimed in a delegate. "Mini
ken is his name," replied Mr. Dietrick,
"but I have forgotten his first name.
lou all know lum, though, he is a
white-headed old man." ,4 Is it John
Milliken T" asked another delegate.
"Yes," was the reply, and before Mi.
Dietrick could further proceed with his
remarks, a third delegate said that be
wus authorized to withdraw the uame
of Mr. Milliken a a candidate for the
office of County Auditor. Mr. Die
trick withdrew it, aud Mr. Hoffman was
then nominated by acclamation for the
west end.
W. N. Rrookhart and J. F. Allen
were nominated for the office of County
Auditor for the east end, but beforu a
call of the convention was had on it
the name of Mr. Rrookhart was with
drawn, and then Mr. Allen was nomi
nated by acclamation, after which the
Chair announced that the next business
would be the nomination of a Chair
man of tbe County Committee.
W. S. Oles, Dr. L. Ranks and A. J.
Ferguson were placed in nomination,!
with the following result on roll call : !
Oles 2, Racks 25, Ferguson 8. The
Doctor was declared the Chairman of
the County Committee.
All delegates were then called on by
the Chair to step up and write tbe
names of two men, of their choice who
should serve as the Committee men for
the year upon which they were just
entering, aud also added that if any
delegate or delegates desired to offer
resolutions, they should prepare during
tbe formation of the new Committee,'
and when it was off the board the reso
lutions would be offered.
The delegates thereupon huddled in
a group in front of the Chair to write
out the Committea, but were not long
there until a commotion set in among
them which was quite unintelligible to
a looker-on. What was the matter
was not understood by the spectators,
but it was evident that some deep cur
rent was striking the convention and
sending a few ugly bubbles to tbe sur
face. Mr. Dietrick took the floor excitedly
and called the Chair. The Chair im
mediately recognized him, wbeu he de
livered a speech, which was in the Eng
lish language to be sure, but it was
concerning Democrats and Democratic
workings, which no one understood but
those directly concerned in the opera
tions. He talked about dissatisfaction
in tbe townships, and that somebody
had been whipped on their own groudd,
and that he believed in the old Jack
sonian principles, that to the "victor be.
long tbe spoils," "that's so," echoed a
number of delegates.
Mr Washington RurchGeld, who was
not a delegate, was in some way connect
ed with the trouble, wished to make a
statement or speech, but be had hardly
signified his willingness to do so when
a delegate said "no, 1 object." There,
upon the Chair rose, aud declared that
no dispute as thai about to arise could
be recognized in convention, unless by
consent of the delegates, which would
have to be obtained by a vote, but he
suggested that Mr. Rurchfield be allow
to (peak. . J he objection to .Mr. liurch
field speaking was withdrawn. Mr
Rurchfield stated that he felt satisfied,
and would deliver no speech, and there
the matter ended, at least so far as sur
face appearance indicate, as neither the
of tbe geutleman have been interview
ed witb a view of publication of the
troubles, uuder tbe surface, nothing!
more can be said abont it. What the ;
tronble was can only ba conjectured by j
the public.
Mr. Dietrick, in an undisturbed way
glided out of a greatly disturbed ques
tion to the offering of a series of reso
lutions, of which the following is the
pith.
- 1st. That the State ticket of Persh
ing aud Piollet is a good one, and should
be heartily supported.
2nd. That the State officers chosen
last fall have tbe confidence of tbe
Democratic party in the State and par
ticularly in ibis county.
3rd. 1 hat the Democracy of Juniata
is pledged to tbe hearty support of tbe
ticket nominated in this State. After
the reeding of which, the Chair proceed,
ed to declare the business for which the
convention assembled to transact all
salisfactorially performed, and that only
one thing remained and that was for all
(o go to work for the election of the
ticket ia November. They shoal J "be
good Republicans
able to outride, completely abolish, and
crush out tho disturbance that has been
raised by tbe Republican party in tlift
State," but unfortunately for tbe assem
bly the Doctor forgot to state what
wonderful disturbance had been laiscd,
and adjourned tho meeting, leaving them
to guess what had been done.
It is hoped the Dr., is none the worse
for the grandiloquent speech. Think
of it "out rode, completely abolished,
and crushed." Save the pieces gentle,
men.

A Dauphin county woman writes ber
experience iu farming, to the Harris
burg Telegraph, as follows We live
about five miles from Ilarri?bnrg, Pa,
which has a market for butter, eggs.
; poultry, and vegetables equal to, if
not superior to New lors city. As I
said before, we have but about one
hundred acres of land, not the best but
about the average in this section. I
sold off the farm last year $1,300
worth of produce and marketing, 1
did cot keep an account of what 1 rais
ed, only what I soJd. My expenses
and taxes were abont C00, leaving
me a balance of about $700. This
was not very large pay it is true, but
I do not think I shall run the machine
' to pieces at that rate. I sold of wheat
$300, and of corn $100, four head of
cows at an average of $50 per bead, I
raised these cows in previous years,
but I raised the same amount this year
or started to raise them, which means
the same) ; five veal calves for $8 per
hcaj ; one fat hog for $25 ; 700 pounds
of butter for $2U0 ; 450 dozen of eggs
at nearly $100; about 35 worth of
chickens in the market ; thirty turkeys
aud geese at $50 ; the other $250 I
received for wool, potatoes, apples,
cider, feathers and different thiDgs sent
to the market when tha butter and eggs
were scut. I paid S300 for two hired
men and boarded thetu ; I paid another
$100 for extra hands in harvest, and
boarded them also ; I also paid $50 in
; taxes, and $50 blacksmith bill for
shoeing horses, mending broken plows
and other implements (using no oxen);
my grocery bill averaged me $2 per
week ; my dry goods bill was very light
tbe present year. I had no help in the
house at all except what my mother did
(she being sixty years old) ; we did all
the milking (the men do no milking in
this State) ; all the cooking for all the
men and attended to all the poultry,
besides doing ail going to market, one
of tbe men going alocg generally to
drive the horses. Yet I think 1 can
show as clean and neat a house as any
one in the State (I do not mean to be
understood as fine a one, but in as
good order). I have all the conven.
icnees of fuel and water very near at
hand, which, by tbe way, is half of
wouiens work. I think 1 havo done
very well. I never expect to be a John
J. Astor iu wealth, but if half ibe wo
men in tbe United States had been edu.
catcd in the school that I have, there
would not be the misery that there is
among my sex. Tbe majority of girls
in these days are taught to make ruffles,
instead of butter and bread, and to
drive their brothers and husbands to the
grog-shops, or perhaps worse places,
with their silly nonsense ; being too re.
fined entirely to make an honest dollar
by honest work. I have driven the
Lorses many a day on tbe reaper or
mower to supply the place of a lacking
band in a busy time, while my mother
did tbe cooking for all. I did tbe milk
ing in the evening, and in the morning
betore I began tbe days work. This is
do fancy sketch, but a true tale, and I
only wish we bad a few less women that
look upon farmers, farmers' wives and
diughtcrs with contempt. EJJie Grey,

This incident is related fey tbe Cham,
bersburg Opinion: On Thursday of
last week, a merchant on bis way from
Chambersburg to McConnekburg, was
robbed on tbe top of a mountain. The
highwayman stepped tbe traveler's horse
and demanded tbe loan of two dollars.
He was informed that the mountain was
no place to loan money, but the robber
was of a different opinion and convinced
the traveler that the occasion was an
appropriate one, by threateningly ex.
hibitiog a dagger or knife. This bad
the desired effect upon tbe traveler, who
was helpless and bad no weapons of de-
fense, and he proceeded to accommo
date his newly-made mountain friend,
handing him two dollar bill from
small roll of greenbacks.' Tbe robber
chuckled, boned the blade of hie dagger
over the palm of his band, and remark
ing that as the mountain was a lonely
locality aud some distance from the set
tlement, be believed he would take tbe
balance. The traveler took in tbe sit.
nation and complied, handing him over
the balance twenty dollars. And now
he vows that be will never erosa that or
any other mountain unarmed.
