JENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLINTOVVN. Wcdnedar, January 2, 10; B. F. SCII WE IE It, EDITOB AKO PaOPBIKTOB. The Situation in Maine. The situation in Maine has not changed a great deal within the past week. The Fusionists that is, Dem ocrats and Greenbackers have been trying to keep op their bogus govern ment, by holding so-called legislative meetings every day, in a hall not fur from the public buildings. On Fri day it was discovered that they had been drilling a company of men quietly for the purpose of seizing the State House. When Governor Davis was informed of their military move ments he at once called out the mili tia of the State, and quartered a com pany of soldiers in and about the public buildings. The last time the Fusionists were in the State House thev stole the seal of the State, but that is of no more account than if any other common thief had stolen it The Fusionists want to submit questions to the Supreme Court which they ignored a lew days ago. The Riot Bribery cases have been fixed for trial in the Dauphin county court for the 6econd Monday in March. Ir tbe present rate of payment of the National debt is kept up, tbe debt will bate been paid at tbe end of '20 years. A preacher in Maryland, and a preacher in New Jersey, are being in vestigated upon a charge of "paroxis mal kissiog." MacTeab, the London chemist who believed that he had found the com bination that produces diamond, has discovered that his chemical com pound is not diamond. In cleaning a well on Front street in Philadelphia last week, remains of a human body were found, also knife and pistol. Certainly inch a finding produced a deep sensation. Tbey say a medical student put tbe offal of bis dissecting experiments tbera. What kitid of a doctor would tbe man make wbo would so polute water that is nsed for drinking purposes. The commission appointed by the lust Legislature to count the vote cast at the lust State election met at Harrisburg on the 20th inst., Gover nor Hoyt presiding. All the mem bers of the commission were in at tendance. The vote as compiled is as follows : Butler, Republican 2r0.154 Birr, Democrat 2-1,715 SuttuD, Greenback -7,207 Richardsoa, Prohibition 3,219 Total vote Butlers plurality..... Butler's majority ..... 532 204 2S,U12 The blighting influence that even the faintest prospect of a 6tate of atiurchy has upon people may be learned from the following from a Maine pajer : When Garcelon and his fellow thieves set in operation their plot to steal the Legislature of M;iine, the Ljckwood mill company, at Waterville, tliat State, had nearly completed their plans for the con struction of another mill, which would have given employment to some hundreds of operatives. But the anarchy which followed the theft discouraged the mill company, and they have indefinitely postponed the carrying out of their enterprise. The business and working eople of Wa terville and vicinity have Garcelon and his Democratic and Greenback associates and advisers to thank for the blow which kts been struck at the interests of Libor in their reighbor bood. Now that the llepubiicans of Maine . have come to their own, a succession of criminal irregularities committed by the Fusionists are leing brought to light The election returns have been destroyed, the great 6eal of the State is missing, and, worst ol all, the discovery is made that during the last few days of his incumbency Gov ernor Garcelon contrived to extract money from the treasury without ob 6ervinr the forms of law. It is as tonishing what a large amount of rascality the Fusionista managed to compress within the short period of their ascendency. Dressed in a little brief authority, they played such fan tastic tricks before an astonished country as their fellow-citizens will be slow to forget Jsorth Jlmercan. The LlarrUburg Telegraph of tbe 22d inst. eaa : Tbe Hon. Jeremiah S. B ack strode into tbe Locbiel Hotel on tbe arrival of tbe train from York this morning, pnt bis name on tbe register and inquired of tbe clerk, " Are tbe counsel all bere !" "Wbicb counsel !"' asked the clerk. "Why those engaged in the riot bribery trial," replied tbe Judge. "You are tbe only one here, Mr. Black," said tbe clerk ; "tbe rest bave gone home." Tben it slowly dawned on tbe statesman from York, and be inquired : " You dou't mean to tell me tjjat those oases bave been post poned again." " Yes, sir." " Until wLeu !" " Until tbe 8tb of March." "Strange that I was not informed ; it would bave saved me the trip." And sneb proved to be tbe fact, Judge Black baviog no knowledge of tbe ao tion in the cases.

Letter from Main Street. - Mdtldjtowx, Jan. 24, 18S0, ) 10 o'clock p. il j Editor Seiiiinel and Republican : It baa been more than a year since I had an inspiration to write for the Sentinel and Republican, and probably I should not have been inspired to night to write, had it not been for The Cosvocatios, The Literary Cox- vocation OF JuNlATA CoUSTT. It was 8 o'clock in the evening when I stood at the front side of the Court House yard, on Main street, and looked up at the Temple of Jus tice, which was beaming in light from both within and without Said I, it is the moon without and the Con vocation within that gives to the house a splendor to-night that I never noticed before, and that inspired me. If eleven literary societies had not !een in session perhaps I would not have looked at the house. Eleven literary societies constituted the con vocation. It was the convocation, then, that inspired me. Convoca tions in all tunes in the past have in spired men, and they will continue to do so till men refuse to be convoked, which, perhaps, may not be till after the crack of doom and the crash of worlds and the wreck of matter. You remember it was a I loyal con vocation that inspired Shakspeare to write the pleasant piece or play of Love's Labour's Lost. Ambition, or a longing for intel lectual acquirement was the cause of the convocation that Shakspeare wrote of, just as it is the cause of the convocation in the Court House to-night The convocation that Shakspeare wrote so inimitably of in the play mentioned, took place in the Middle Ages. It was an assembly of a few people, but they were men of note. The nuniler was small, but select The whole consisted of Ferdinand, King of Navarre, and three Lord, attendants on the King Lords Bi ron, Longaville, and Dumain. How many more of the nobles of the king dom had been invited does not ap pear on the record. That the conditions, or terms of the convocation were severe, and most abstemious is plainly set forth by one of the courtiers of the King. It is Biron who laments it thus : " I can but say their protestation over, So much, dear liege, I have already sworn, That is, to live and study three years, But there are other strict observances ; A s, not to see a woman in the term ; Wbicfc- I hope is not enrolled there ; And, one day iu a week to touch no food, And, but one meal on everyday besides; Tbe which, I hope is not enrolled there; And then, to sleep but three hours tu the night, And nut-be seen to wink of all the day, When 1 was wont to think no barm all night, And make a dark night too of hall' the day ; Which, I hope well, is not enrolled there. (), these are barren tasks, too hard to keep, Not to bee ladies, study, fast, not sleep." As I thought over the lament of the noble Biron in the King's convo cation, I conclnded to go the Court House, and learn bv the testimony of my own eyes and ears, whether, learn ing, as enjoined by the convocation of eleven literary societies of Juniata county imposed such hard conditions on the student, as three years' absti nence from the society of ladies, hard study, fast, and little sleep. I went in. The first sight was a crowd of boys and young men standing in the aisle near the door, forming almost a complete blockade to the entrance. Above the din of confusion of the unseated multitude I could hear the notes of a lady voice. Elbowing my way through the crowd, down the middle aisle till I could see the au dience, I was convinced by the sight in the room that the times of the lie public are not the same as those of the Kingly days of the Middle Ages, of which Shakspeare wrote, when he penned Love's Labour's Lout. Instead of an audience all of one sex, it was composed half and half of ladies and gentlemen. Superintendent of Com ijon Schools Smith was in the chair, and a lady, Miss Clara Danghertv, was speakiry. How King Ferdinand and his siadions noblemen would have looked npyn the convocation, and what Shakspeare v; oul;! have said, can only be conjectured. The crowd was not made up of pale, half-star ed men men who had blear eyes for want of sleep, and men who were soured lecause of a solemn oath to refrain from the society of ladies for the period of three years. A convo cation of such people would have cut a sorry figure in comparison with the convocation of people in the Court House on the night of the 24th. Laughter, speech and song, by turns, ruled the hour. A declama tion, by Miss Robison of Bed Bank Literary Society, was good. Ed. Strayer, of Farmdale Society, deliv ered his piece quite well. Miss Daugherty, of Thompsontown Soci ety, recited "Archie Dean" almost as well .as it was done by a lady lecturer, wbo was paid a handsome price about a year ago to lecture in the Court House. The song by a number of members of Cuba Society was just in place. Fatrick Hagan's " Grand father's Leather Breeches" was ren dered as if rendered by one who had experience in performing with a troup. May Loudon and Lillie Davis, each, said a piece that reflects credit on their application and ability to mem orize, but the tinniest speech, by the tinniest scholar was said by a little daughter of Patrick Hagan. Wm. Nankivell, of Patterson, sang a song. It was nicely done. It is possible that the highest musical talent was not displayed, but expression of face and gesture told plainly that he loves music as he loves himself, or as he loves his wife, and every note that was uttered toid of the systematic train ing and application that his love for music has subjected him to. In my time, in other, and more pretentions places than Mifflin town, I have paid well to hear music and song that was not near so well reudered as that by Mr. Nankivell. Miss Mollie Funk, of Centreville Society, read a paper. Without exception she is a more pleasing reader, and has a more pleas ing manner when reading, than any lady reader that I have listened to, be fore a public audience in Mifllmtown. I was tired standing, and when the gavel of the President called the lady to time, I withdrew from the room The Convocations must needs be productive of good; they stimulate the virtues of people, and subordi nate the vices. The young people should all become members, of a Lit erary Society, snch as may exist in I their respective districts, not to make literary society life the object in life to the neglect of such duties that gives them " bread and butter," but to give them such attention that they may become the objective points for recreation and pleasure, and men tal improvement, so as to be qualified to discharge with ease and satisfac tion the duties of the business of public and private life. A.'otheb Convocation was held in this place to-day ; it was of a political nature ; it was an as sembly of authorized Republican Conferees from Perry, Mifflin and Juniata counties, to elect a Senator ial delegate to the Republican Stite Convention, to meet at liamsuurg week after next Each county pre sented a camlidate. Perry present ed Mr. Jackson, Mifflin presented Mr. Swanzey, and Juniata presented Mr. Nourse. The original confJrees from this county were Messrs. Nourse, Metterling and Moore. They all sent substitutes into the conference. The substitutes were, Messrs. Atkin son. Wilson and Pomeroy. It took 35 ballots to bring the business to a focus, which was reached by selecting Mr. Swanzey as delegate, with in structions for Blame for President and Passmore for Auditor General. Latterly the Blaine people have been earnestly expressing themselves. The Grant people are quiet, like the man of their choice. They are content to abide the decision of the National Convention. His most ardent sup porters do not know whether he wants the nomination. They smile complaisantly when it is urged that Grant may be urged for King, for they know that they themselves are not for a King as a ruler, and they further know that no man can become a King unless the country should be thrown into a state of anarchy, which every lover of the Republic will do his best always to prevent Before the American people can have a King for a ruler, they must first create the condition of society for stn-h a change. Such condition does not exist, and cannot be brought about except by civil war. Civil war, anarchy, will bring a King, no matter who may be President There is nothing in the cry of King. I agree with the Sen tinel and Republican when it says that whomsoever the Republicans may nominate for President, will be elect ed. MAIN STREET. Democratic Blunders, Tbe Chicago Times, a Democratic journal of great power in tbe North west, has reviewed tbe record of Bour bon stupidity from tbe Missouri com promise down to the present time, and presents to the public the following formidable list of Bourbon blunders during that period.

Peipetration and de fense of like Executive nsurpation in Maine. A Democratic Picture of a Demo cratic City. From the New York Star. It is a matter of common notoriety that tbe city of Brooklyn stands upon tbe perilous verge of bankruptcy; tbe fact will not be denied by her chief financial officer. Staggering under a debt of $40,000,000, Brooklyn is un able to pay tbe interest as it accrues upon that colossal load and is aug menting ber obligations through the make-shift policy of issuing fresh bonds to meet accumulating demands. Thousands of parcels of property in Brooklyn have been abandoned by their owners, who deem it cheaper to forfeit tbe lots than pay tbe exorbit ant assessments levied on tbera; and the local authorities are afiaid to force sheriff's sales, knowing that not a per cent, of those estates would fetch price equal to tbe charges set against them. How comes it that the third city in tbe Union is reduced to such plight ? simply because for la years that city has been preyed upon by a vampire ring, folly as rapacious as iu Tweed counterpart, and much more crafty in its methods of plunder. WA dry old countryman Fueion- lst m Maine asked a gang of hack men the other day where he could get a drink. All four of them seemed very anxious to show him, and he thought they were the most obliging set he had eer seen. Five drinks were set ont by the bar-tender, and the countryman paid for his own. Those hackmen's" language at his con duct was utterly rmworthy of their exalted professional position. Senatorial Conference. The Senatorial Conference of the 31st District met at Will's hotel in Mifflintown, on Saturday, January 24, 1880, at 2.-80 p. nv Mifflin county was represented by H. J. Culbertson, Andrew C Strod, and Charles A Zerbe. Perry county was represented by Dr. Harry Stites. J u& lata county was represented by L. E. Atkinson, George W. Wilson and Wm. C. Pomeroy. II. J. Culbertson was elected pres ident, and Chits. A. Zerbe secretary. Dr. Harry Stiles, on motion was authorized to cast the three Votes of Perry county. The following resolutions were passed : Resolved, That tbe SenatoriaHDelegate to be elected this da be and ia hereby instruct ed to vote lor and support in the State Con vention, to be held at Harrisburg; February 4, 1880, delegates to the National Conven tion, favorable to the nomination of James (J.

Resolved, That the Senatorial Delegate to beelected this day be and ia hereby in structed to tote for and support in the State Convention, to be held at Ilarrisburg Feb ruary 4, 1880, J. A. M. Passmoro, of Potts ville, for Auditor General. Jos. E. Jackson, of Perry county, John T. Nourse, of Juniata county, and William IL Swanzey, of Mifflin county, were nominated by the con ferees of the respective counties for Delegate to the State Convention. On the 35th ballot Win. H. Swanzey, of Mifflin county, was elected Sena torial Delegate to the State Conven tion. Adjourned. CHAS. A. ZERBE, Secy. i A Noble Utterance. It(will be rembered tbat last week, at Jacksonville, Florida, when General Grant was entering a hotel, he was closely followed by a crowd of colored people. Tbe hotel keeper attempted to drive tbem away, but Grant said: Let them alooe- Wbereever 1 am tbey can come." This remark Las called characteristic letter from Fred Douglass to a local paper. He writes . "No words more significant and im pressive have droppd from tbe lips of General Grant since be ottered the famous words, Let as have peace.' Tbey are worthy of tbe great head and heart of the msn who ottered them and remind one of tbe saying of Jesus when little children were bidden to come onto bim. In tbe case at Jack sonville, tbe poor liberated bondmen pressed npon tbe General, and tbe hotel keeper, little knowing tbe great heart of bis gust, thought to do bim a kind ness by keeping tbe unfortunate claw from bim. But he refused to be pro tected, and said ; 'Wherever I am tbey can come.' Millions will lift their de jected heads at tb?se words. Freperick Douglass.' STATE ITEMS.
