Toe magnificent reception of Gen eral Grant is simply an outpouring of re; pe';t for the faithful, honest 601 d.er which the General is ; it has no politic in it whatever, and yet that saie earnest expression, if it be turned in the direction of Presidsnt- makinrr. will again make Grant Presi dent of the United States. Should the General desire to lie President of the Republic for another period of four years, the people will rally to his support with as mucn enthusiasm as they are now turning out to greet him. The attention of the reader is di rected to an article published in an ther column of this issue of the Sentinel and Republican, relative to the Juniata Valley Press, as part of an adlress delivered by Professor A L. Gns- before the Juniata Valley Printers Association at Cresson, Sep tember 6, 1879. The address in full will be published in took form. If the reader be in possession of inform ation relative to the press of Juniata county not contained in the article referred to, such information will be thankfully received, and incorporated in the forthcoming book. Democrats of a certain quality have been telling among the supposed ig norant membership of their party that the lute Soldiers' Re-union was gotten np to elect the Republican ticket Such a story might be be lieved if no other re-unions took place. Who was the Re-union last winter to elect t It was held after election. Who are the re unions that take place almost every day, and will continue to take place in different parts of the country till the near the holidays, intended to elect t Such ttlk U only one of the many different kinds of tliffy that the schemers of " of the Democracy feed their unsus pecting and ignorant membership on. The Southern Democrats, aided by the Northern Democrats, did their Vest to revolutionise the Govern ment lust winter by refusing to pass appropriations for supplies to keep up the Government If they had succeeded, the gLvtrnment affairs of the Button would be on the back track, toward a restoration of the old Democratic-Rebel element, which the soldiers fought down on the field of battle. How the Democratic soldiers can continue to vote for the party that started Rebellion and kept it , alive from 1S61 to 1865, is one of the - mysteries cf the age, and may be jajgartnveight wonder of the world. Whet you" hear a man Bay that the Soldiers' ReMmidn was a dodge to elect the Republican ticket, correct , the deluded man, and at the same time tell him of Low the Democratic leaders did their best to deprive the soldier of the right to vote when he was in the army. The Democratic leaders have not been the friends of the army since it crushed Rebellion. Dennis Kearney and his savages de clared their intention of burning General Grant in effigy, on the day of his arrival in San Francisco, but the friendly uprising in honor of the General was bo general that all nn friendly opposition was overwhelmed in the demonstration ; and then again, a company of soldiers ran out to the sand lots with a couple of pieces of artillery and fired salutes in honor of the General's arrival. Turn out at the polls. M A dispatch from Washington says : Trustworthy information h:ia been received here from South Girolina which gives alarming accounts of the political situation in that State. It is said that in anticipation of the Presidential and State elections of next year, the Democrats are already resorting to acts of intimidation and outrage. Close on the heels of the Boyce assassination, intelligence has been received of the attempted mur der of Frederick Nix, jr., postmaster at Blackville, a town of 2,000 inhabi tants, in the upper part of the State. Nix is an influential Republican, and took a conspicuous part in bringing the Ku-klux and Redshirt men before the Federal Courts last winter. He was appointed postmaster only a few months ago, and, notwithstanding his efficiency as an officer, he is despised on account of his Republican politics. On the 16th of September one oi the notorious night-riders entered the postoffice, and after vuinly endeavor ing t create a row, deliberately put his revolver through the delivery win dow and fired at the postmaster. Luckily the shot did not take effect passing through the postmaster 6 clothes. Similar outrages none the less bold, are represented as occur ring in other par is of the State, and already the negroes are beginning to fear for their lives. united States District Attorney Northrop is said to be himself completely overawed by the audacity of the acts, and there is little hope of meting out punishment to the guilty persons u taken into court Northrop was appointed dis tnct attorney upon the recommenda tion of Wade Hampton, and was con firmed by the Democrats of the Sen ate, and Republicans, with three ex ceptions, voting solidly against him. He is a native of the &UU-, and alter the war turned extreme radical until Gov. Chamberlain's downfall, when he joined those in favor of Hampton. It is not unlikely, if such outrages as above referred to continue, that some changes may be made in the Federal offices of South Carolina. STATE ITEMS.

Second Annual Re-union; 6t Juni ata County Veteran Soldiers The Second Annual Re-union of the soioiers who served in the war against Rebellion was held in this pace on last Friday. It occasioned one of the greatest turnout of citi zens that the oldest people know of. Tbe weather, too, was; moat propi tious, and everybody was in the hap piest mood. Forty-one cadets, under command of O. P. Davie and Lucien Sieber, from the McAlisterville Soldiers' Or phan School was the first organic! body to appear in town. They ar rived about 10 o'clock, and were marched to the Court House Yard, where they remained at a rest while D. H. Wilson Post, 134, O. A II, marched to the railroad to escort General Gregg, Captain Lambert, and other soldiers from a distance, and to receive the Tuscarora Valley veterans, who reported at the rail road about the time the time the Way Passenger train from the east came in. A large number of citizens fell in an 1 swelled the procession to a vast concourse of people as it moved from the railroad. When the Court House wns reached there was not room it for both soldiers and peo ple, and many of the hitter were com pelled to turn away. At a quarter to 11 o'clock the vet erans were called to order in the Court House by Major L. E. Atkin son, who occupied the chair by virtue of last year's presidency. He announced that the first busi ness should be the appointment of a committee to report officers for a per manent organization. Comrades W. H. Knouse, Luke Da vis, J. 1. bourse, uapiain oamuei Brown and Captain J. P. What ton were appointed. The committee withdrew. During their absence there was music by the Port .Royal Band. Prayer by Rev. R. E. Wils-in, of Mifllintown M. E. church. Comrade Win. M. Allison intro duced John L. Stephenson, of Port Royal, a veteran soldier of the war of 1812. The new veterans, or the veterans of the war against Rebel lion, heartily cheered the old soldier of 1812. lie is the only living sol dier of the war of 1812 now living in this county. The pleasant introduction cf the soldier of two generations ago, was followed by music by the Mifllintown Band, after which tbe audience Bang the "Star-Spangled Banner."

The officers elected took their places. Captain Wilson thanked the veter ans for the honor conferred, and de clared the Association ready for busi ness. The first business that the new President had to announce was the Flag Presentation to Lieut D. IL Wiison Post, 134, G. A R. Comrade G. W. Wilson, brother of D. H. Wil son, after whom the Post was named, delivered the' presentation speech. It was a touching speech, and put earnest expressions on the -faces of many men who were present Major Atkinson, on behalf of the Post re ceived the flag. He was a witness to the death of Comrade D. II. Wilson, after whom the Post was named, and which fact lent a pathos to his speech that moved a number to tears. He closed his eloquent remarks by de tailing Lieutenant J. R. Kelly a color guard for the flag. The announcement of the name of Lieutenant Kelly produced quite a Bensation for a moment He being the Republican candidate for Sheriff, the subdued exclamation that his name occasioned was interpreted as an expression in his favor. The presentation ceremony was fol lowed a song by the audience, "Rally Round the Flag," at the conclusion of which T. D. Garman, Chairman of the Committee on the Constitution and By-Laws, read the Constitution and By-Laws. Comrades George w. Heck, Joseph S. Martin, W. B. McCahan and Kelly Stump were appointed to go among the among the audience and take up a collection. IL H. Snyder moved that the Con stitution and By-Laws be so amend ed that the officers be elected annu ally, and with his amendment the Constitution and By-Laws were adopted.
