ACDITOR GENERAL, JOUN A. L,EM03f, or BX&ia COrKTT. Those Who Are Against Free Gov ernmentVote on the Side of Free Government. This has only been a free govern ment 18 years, and jet there are men, wko risked their lives in tbe army to aecaie freedom fur themselves and tbeir children, who are readj to saj the Re public is safe, and we may vote for whomsoever we please. Tbey do not stop to think ibat tbis is tbe first real free government among men in tbis world within tbe past 6,000 year Tbey do not stop to tbiuk that 18 years against 6,000 is a small number. Tbey do not stop to thick that all the gov ernments of tbe world, excepting tbe present French and Swiss governments, are secretly against the government of the Republic. They do not stop to think that ill the Churches of the world, excepting the Protestant Cburcb, is agtiost the Republic, underbandedly. They do not stop to think over it, that even here within tbe limits of tbe Re public there are se feral thousand of people who long to overthrow tbe Ire government. They do not stop to think tbat tbe several thousand leaders are the bead and front of tbe Demooratio party, and tbat while the mass of the Democracy are all right on the ques tion of free government, they are to be bo bandied by the slave leaders that tbe drift of national affairs is to be set into the old direction, with the object of a complete restoration of tbe old order of affairs. The moral power of tbe heads of government of the world is on their side ; tbe moral power of tbe church of tbe world, excepting tbe Protestant church, is on their side, and the only organization in the world that is strong, that is in favor of free gov ernment, such as tbat established by Abraham Lincoln in 1862, is the Re publican party organization. Tbe elec tion of a Democratic President and a Democratio Congress .nay set free gov ernment back many generations, and briug forward a government in all tbe Statis stronger and more arbitrary to lb a wbole people than that nnder con templation when Rebellion undertook to take tbe life of the nation. Before knowing wbo will be the nominee of tbe Republican National Convention make up your mind to vote for tbe Republi can Presidential candidate and Repub lican candidate for Congress. There can be no mistake tn voting on tbe side of safety to free government. "What a queer set of people the Democrats are when they get to gether in State Convention. A few Tears ago a Democratic State Con vention at "Wilkesbarre would have nothing to do with R. Milton Speer for his back salary grab, but a few days ago the Democratic State Con- Tention at Harrisburg toot him to its bosom, and put him forward as a del egate at large to the Democratic National Convention to meet at Cin cinnati. ! Aboit a dozen State conventions were held last week, but all conjec ture as to who may be the Presiden tial nominees of the respective parties can reach no nearer than conjecture, and that is so unsatisfactory that it is scarcely worth while to indulge in it One month more, and all can re joice over their respective candidates. My far the greater number of Amer ican people were pleased when Glad stone came to tbe bead of tbe English Ministry. Late dispatches seem to in dicate tbat Mr. Gladstone does not be lieve in tbe Monroe doctrine. Tbat is a tender spot for an Englishman to touch. Easy, Mr. Gladstone. Tckkey. has repudiated the payment ot her foreign debt, and her paper at home is worth ten cents on the dol lar Does the Greenbacker see what a financial calamity he escaped ? This is not just the time for the regulation revival of religion, but in Bradford they have got out of the regulation track and have a big re vival on hand. Tildex worked hard to secure 11' Pennsylvania Democracy for himself at Cincinnati. He has it, through Samuel Randall. But his nephew, where is he ? The talk of American King is the thinnest of twaddle. But Demo crats consume a good deal of 6uch stuff when they talk on National subjects. The present Congress has expend ed over one hundred thousand doi lars in investigating the claims of contesting statesmen for seats in Congress. Tea dealers are wondering whether tbe war between Russia and China will cause tea to boom that is, advance in price. A stboxo feeling is being devel oping in New York city against China men being brontt into that city. Preparations fr a World's Fair goes vigorously on in New York. Tbe fair is to be held in 1883. Tukeet has withdrawn its Minister from Washington. An empty trea sury is the reason. W. L. Scott and Samuel Randall are rowing the Tilden boat in Penn sylvania. The Mollie Maguires still try to kill people. See State items for par ticuiors. The Governor of New York vetoed ilia bill taxing foreign capital. Ann Third Term ken held a con vention last week at St. Louis. TrtDEN keeps quiet make a speech. He refuses to As exchange does it up in this way : During the niontbs of January and February of the enrenb yimr Russia1 -exported nearly nine million bushels less of gram than she did daring the same two months of 1879. This de ficiency had to be made np h m some other source, and it is only fair to suppose Uncle Sam furnishes the lion's share We can feed all crea tion, if they will only give ns a little notice of what they want England depends almost entirely on lis for what bread she cats, to say nothing of the immense quantities of "garden truck" and other produce and eata bles we furnish for her table. But for the farms, dairies, cheese factor ies, pastures and slaughter-houses of the United States, England would soon be on short commons, and the end would be cannibalism, with its accompanying horrors and discom forts. But Uncle Sam isn't proud, and as long as people have money to buy, he will sell, and when they haven't the money to buy and are hun gry think of Ireland why, bless him, he'll give them the food for nothing. An exchange says : Unless our nice Democratic Congress sobers down, gets to business and passes a deficiency ap propriation bill before tbis Wednesday, June 12, 1880, there will be no money to pay gas and water bills in the post offices and other Government offices throughout tbe country. Tho persons or corporations furnishing water or gas will be officially informed of tbe fact, and be tree to cut off tbe supply if tbey see fit. Secretary Sherman baa issued a circular of instruction to all custo dians of public buildings, authorizing them to inform gas and water cotupa nies of tbe situation, and tbat the de partment has no authority to bind the Government to the payment of bills for water and gas contracted after the 12th iost. A nice spectacle, isn't it! Dem ocratic demagogues spending thousands of dollars of Government funds weekly in fruitless investigations, while tbe machinery of one of tbe most import ant departments of the Government service is in danger of being checked or seriously retarded by lack of tbe necessary appropriation. The JVbrth .Imerican says : A great er number of emigrants came to this country in the April just closed than during any other month since the world began. In April, 1S73, the ar rival of forty-three thousand intend ing settlers was recorded, and until this year that figure had never been passed. But last month no fewer than 46,118 persons landed at Castle Garden, 13,00'J of whom arrived within the last six days. It is ex pected that in May even these figures will be overtopped. By some mys terious process of computation the writers on political economy have reached the conclusion that every able-bodied man is worth about eight hundred dollars to the United States his willingness to work being of course presumed. At this rate our national wealth is being very mate rially and rapidly increased. A lover named Johnson, in New York, after obtaining a j?70 ring from his sweet heart, left her. Like a sensible girl, she did not pine over the loss of the fickle man, and bring a 6uit for breach of promise, with a claim for consequential damages, but she sued him for the recovery of the ring. She did not get the ring, but she got its value in money. It is nice to love and to be loved in return, but to love, and be robbed by the one you love is too bad. The girl was sensible ; her dignity was aroused, and she was glad that she had es caped from the clutches of the thief with the loss of only a ring. If he had deceived her till after marriage then her condition would have been humiliating. She congratulated her self that she escaped so easily from so bad a man. As exchange says : u The feminine mind is powerless against the allure ments of fashion. Some time ago the announcement was made that the young ladies of the normal school in Baltimore had, with a gratifying dis play of good sense and with lauda able self-denial, discarded frizzes, puffs, bangs, and like frivolities. But the Baltimore American chronicles the sad fact that the young heroines I have already grown weary of the bangs, frizzes and puffs as of yore." A Montreal dispatch says : "There has been some relaxation of the order against permitting American hogs to enter Canada. Mr. McEachran, the government veterinarian, says tho hog chojera is prevalent among near- I lv all American hogs. The Hon. Mr. Hope, minister of Agriculture, has given orders, Leaver, that there shall be a relaxation of tiio nile, 2nd that American hogs will be allowed to enter on condition that they be slaughtered on their arrivaL" A Quebec dispatch says: "In all the Roman Catholic churches on Sun day at high mass, a lengthy pastoral was read from the Archbishop of Quebec against all excursions and pleasure parties, evening walks and drives on Sundays and feast days, under pain of committing a very grievous Bin." A lawyer named Samuel Davis was stricken from the list of Philadelphia practicing lawyers, for unprofession al conduct He had kept fands that were entrusted to him as a lawyer. He carried his case up to the Su preme Court of the State, but the higher court confirmed the decision of the lower court, and he must take down his shingle. It is said tbat daucing demoralizes one physically and morally. Titus ville people, wben tbey dance, dance for the spiritual delight ; so tbey say. Tbey say tbat when tbey dance for spiritual delight it is as proper an ex ercise as any exercise that can be used for devotional purposes. Tilden bas said to bis friends tbat be will be a candidate for tbe Presi dency before tbe Cincinnati Conven tion, and that bas cast cloud over tbe face of Randall and bis friends. But tbe faces of the Wallace clan beam in smiles. Charles De Younr. the San Frtn- cisco Chronicle editor, was buried with Hebrew ceremonies, a rabbi preach ing the sermon at the grave. ttaMamaiaBJaMaaaiBBaawaaafrat Under tbe bead of " Thi Bot or the Period," tbe JVorih jlmerican writes in this way : Independence is undoubtedly a very covetable attribute, whether pertaining to tbe condition of a nation or tbe character of an individ ual ; but tbere are conditions under which a display of tbis quality may be objectionable on account of superabun dant quantity. Tbis is notably the case when tbe American "boy of the period" happens to come prominently under no tice ; and it must be admitted tbat be bas proclivity for so doing as persist ent as it is provoking. Upon whom rests tbe responsibility for tbe total ab sence of reverence ou the part ef tbe youth of America it is difficult to de fine ; but tbe fact remains tbat neitber age nor position, authority, paternal, constituted nor delegated, usage of so ciety, nor indeed anything which tbe minor of a century since would Lave cheerfully respected, commands from "the boy of tbe period'' even decent attention. The mere errand-boy of to day smokes bis cigar, keeps on his hat in tbe presence of an employer, leaves a door open or slams it defiantly, and generally does things whioh are suffi ciently innovatory to send a shudder through tbe crumbling ashes of our an cestors. It may be that tbe feeling of independence should be fostered ; it may be tbat tbe great boon of liberty should be widely diffused ; but on tbe other hand, it may be tbat independence will degmerate into impertinence, and tbat liberty will be debased until it becomes license. We deal with no chimera when we thus call attention to s growing evil. Tbe independence which was achieved by tbe founders of tbis nation did not owe its existence to bluster ; it was not consummated by tbe energies of those who bad no respect for constituted au thority, for few of the dependencies of Great Britain were more loyal to the parent government (until grass oppres sion rendered further submission servi tude) than were tbe America colonies. For tbe future welfare of tbis nation ; for tbe purpose of preventing tbe growth ot an aggressive disposition calculated to be more eostly than valuable, it is well tbat tbe "boy of tbe period" should feel tbe curb a little ; should be taught, in addition to tbat book learn ing which a generous, far-seeing people so lavishly bestow, to behave himself decently in yontb in order that be may be able to instruct others on attaining bis majority.

Brandt Hummel and Wise, the Ra ber murderers, will be executed at Lebanon to-morrow, Thursday. A Pottsville dispatch of the 4th inst, says : Last night Thomas Fen nel, foreman at Richardson colliery, was shot by a concealed assassin, the ball passing through his hip, inflict ing a painful, though cot necessarily fatal, wound. Fennel's father was compelled to leave this region several weeks ago on account of acting as a juror in the case of 'Wunley, a Mol lie Magnire convicted and hanged in 1877 for the murder of mine boss Sanger. This is the second attempt on the life of young Fennel since his father's flight, and it is-believed to be the work of the Mollies. About five years ago a man named William E. Udderzook was hanged in Chester county for the murder of a man named Goss. The two had con spired to swindle life insurance com panies. They effected insurance to the amount of $25,000 on Goss' life. Goss then bnrned down a little shop in which he worked, first placing in it a dead body which he had obtained, his purpose being to make the insur ance companies believe it was his body. Udderzook was to get the in surance, which was to be divided be tween the two. But suspicious cir cumstances attending the affair caused the companies to refuse to pay, and delay ensued. Meantime, Goss, who was in hiding, became clamorous for money, and threatened to exjwse the plot To silence him Udderzook killed him. The New York Herald some days ago published what pur ported to be Udderzook's confession of the crime. Numerous denials of the truth of this confession have al ready been made. Among these de nials is one from A. C. Goss, of Bal timore, brother of the murdered nisn. Mr. Goss says the confession is a lie from beginning to end, and is noth ing more than a speculation of one of the lawyers for Udderzook on his trial He says Udderzook couldn't have written the confession as printed, because he had no education at all, and even if he did write it, it is a lie, as it is full of inconsistencies through out Mr. Goss intends to prove be yond a doubt the truth of hi3 asser tion, and is now collecting facts for that purpose, which he will give to the public before long. A Reading dispatch says : Brandt one of the three Raber murderers to be executed at Lebanon on the 13th inst., has made a lengthy statement concerning the various insurance speculations in which he was inter ested at different times. At one time Brandt says he held $17,000 on the lives of various persons, but two of the companies failed and he could not keep np the other policies and at the time of Ruber's death he did not hold a single policy. Wise took him to see old Raber. Brandt also re lates what he knew of the murder of a peddler near Cold Spring in 1875. He also gives an account of a coun terfeit money speculation in which be was engaged. Brandt says that Wise sent word to him, asking him what he had done wrong, where upon Brandt replied that his confes sions were lies. A man named Bethel Young and Brandt at one time had Raber insured for $5,000. Brandt most solemnly affirms that at no time was he ever connected with or con nived at the conspiracy for the mur der of Joseph Ruber, and says that if he had received a separate trial he could have established the fact Wise, Hummel and Brandt have chosen their spiritual advisers. Wise seems resigned to his fate and spends most of his time in singing and pray ing, while Brandt appears indifferent inlv maintaining his complete in nocence oi the crime. He has a bit ter feeling agaiiLt Wise, which he expresses on all occasions- llommei has very little to say. Intelligence from Williamsport, on Saturday, relates tbat Catharine Miller and George Smith were that day con victed in court, for tbe murder of An drew Miller last March. The crime of which they are convicted was one of the most atrocious on record. Mrs. Miller urged Smith to murder her bus band that they might live together, and it was proven tbat wben Smith decoyed tbe old man out to tbe barn at eleven o'clock at night by making a noise and men ciuODcd mm to death sue baa a clothes line, which she banded to tbe man wbo had killed ber husband to haDg him up in tbe bain, for tbe pur pose of creating an impression tbat be bad committed suicide. Both of them confessed to the crime of murder. One of tbe most pathetic sceoes tbat oc curred in tbe court during tbe trial was wben the eldest daughter of tbe wretch ed woman, aged 10 years, was put on tbe stand to testify against ber mother. Tbe child had witnessed part of the crime from the window and bad also been informed by tbe parties tbat ber father was killed by them. Tbe child gave in ber evidence in a clear, distinct voice, and when she closed many eyes were bathed in tears. Mrs. Miller is the first woman convicted of murder in Lycoming county, and tbe fact that a man and a woman will be executed on tbe same scaffold will eause a sensation in tbat part of the State.

As the torpedo was being lowered the well made a flow of oil, throwing the torpedo out of tbe hole against tbe derrick. Instantly there was a tcrrifio explosion, scattering the engine bouse, boiler bouse, derrick and machinery in a thousand different di rections. Tbe oil caught fire and shot np into tbe air a buudred feet in a blazing column. Tbe ground for miles around was covered witb a thin layer of oil and oil-soaked leaves. A strong wind was blowing from tbe west and the fire spread witb frightful rapidity in tbe direction of Rew City. Tbe oil well property, tanks, rigs and machin ery were one sheet of flame for a dis tance of two miles to Rew City. Tbe people of that town were paralyzed with fear and tried to remove tbeir household goods before tbe fire reached them, but such was the awful speed of tbe flames that nothing could be saved and tbe village was totally consumed. The people ran for their lives and sought a place of safety in an open field. It is confidently asserted that in the hurry and fright and blinding smoke two wo men and four children lost their way and were burned to death. The names of tbe unfortunates bave not been learned, as tbe people of tbe town, about six hundred in number, are scat tered through tbe woods.

It is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for preserving the hair. It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, ordeep black, as may be desired. By Its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks failing of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands are not decayed ; whila to brasHy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most If not all of the humors and diseases peculiar to the sa'p, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases tf the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair, The Vigor is incomparable, ft is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economi cal and unsurpassed in its excellence.
