rality over the Democrats is 2G.557 a
gain of 2,922. This may seem small,
yet when we state that a gain at the
Fame rate in Pennsylvania, calculated
on tbe basis of the total vote of the
State.would give the Republicans an
iaorease of 31,427 in their majority we
state only the truth, and give an idea
of the importance of tbe victory in or

New York Herald: "The fact that
tbe Republicans fully held their own
in Vermont proves tbat Hancock has
nothing to rely on but tbe proper
strength of the Democratic party, and
tbat bis chances of capturing Republi
can voters are no better than were
Greeley's in 1872." And that is why
tbe Democrats look so bine since Ver

Tiiet tl! many things about Dr.
Buchauan, who issued bogus mediaal
diplomas in Philadelphia. It. was re
ported tbat be committed suicide iu the
Delaware river. It was reported J hat
tbe man who leaped into tbe river was
not the doctor, but some other wan,
clothed as the doctor; and that after a
good long dive in the river be swam to
shore ; aud that be was well paid fur
his sham suicidal performance. Tbe
latest account relative to tbe missing
doctor was published in tbe .Yorlh
American of the 8th inst., and read :
" Little bas been heard of the Bu
chanan case for several days, but there
now comes a strange story from Ches
ter. It is to the effect tbat a citizen of
that place was recently approached with
an offer of liberal compensation if be
would agree to furnish a body that could
be found and identified as that of tbe
missing bogus diploma man. The plan
was to watch for a drowned body of the
proptr size aud in the necessary state
of decomposition. Tbe remaius were
then to have certain marks placed upon
them aud be dressed in clothing similar
to that worn by tbe man wbo jumped
from the Camden ferry- boat. To make
the thing appear more sure, papers ap
parently proving the identity of tbe de
ceased were to be placed in the pock
ets. All tbat then remained was to
tow the body to a point where it could
easily float ashore."
Since tbe abnve was put in type the
doctor has been arrested 'and taken to
Philadelphia. ' He was arrested

Governor' Uott delivered a speech
at tbe opeuing of the State Fair. The

portiou of wbicn is bere reproduced.
The Governor said:
A hasty view of the varied pro
ducts of tbe men who own tbe soil of
Pennsylvania, as bere displayed, gives
one a genuine surprise. A closer scru
tiny of these, in oounection with all the
machinery and device of tbe related
pursuits, will give us a new sense of tbe
power of the farmer, tbe dignity of bis
calling, tbe financial value of his prop
erty and its products tbe brains as
well as tbe muscle involved in bis call
ing, ibis exhibit is not tbe result of
visionary experiments, but is establish
ed only by long and laborious industry
and costly processes. It does noticed
any official patting on the back. Tbe
results themselves, bere illustrated, are
its sufficient commendation. See for a
moment what underlies this display.
It is not alone in these grains, these
luscious fruits, these beautiful flowers
and these labor-saving implements.
You have ransacked tbe wot Id for berds
for horses, cattle and sheep. You
bave studied the value of "blood, and
it still continues to "tell," and tbe per
sistence of breeds ' which for
"speed," which for beef, which for
milk, which for wool, and which for
mutton-chops. You have been com
pelled to learn the habits of animal
life and the laws of vegetable physi
ology. You bave been driven to study
the nature of soils aud tbe chemistry of
fertilizers. lou bave bad to make
headway against disease and parasites
against rust and weevil, and frosts
against tbe potato-bug and plenro pneu
monia. You are chemists, and doctors,
and botanists, lou must daily learn
tbe price of cheese in London must
know the quantity of wheat in Minne
sota aod Odessa. You must keep track
of tbe herders of the millions of cattle
from tbe plains of Texas to the Red
River of tbe north. Tou are no longer
workers isolated in your farms, nor tbe
victims of tbe ups and downs of local
markets and speculators. Tbe agricul
tural products of the world are aggre
gated by telegraph. It is already
known that our crop of wheat this year
will be 500,000,000 bushels, of which
200,000,000 is surplus, and this we hope
to sell abroad and get our pay in cash.
It better that cheap freights will en
able us to do tbia than tbat this vast
surplus should remain bere to break
down the price of all tbe balance. We
shall bave more than 1,500,000,000
bushels of corn, much of which, in the'
form of beef, pork and ham, wa shall
likewise hope to sell in Europe."
After paying a compliment to some
of the more noted manufacturing estab
lishments of Philadelphia, be passed op
to say a few words to tbe Pennsylvania
farmers, who constitute a third of ber
population. In this he was most happy
and felicitous. He said :
That third of the people if Penn
sylvania who are upon tbeir farms are
tbe best off, the most happy and tbe
most independent third ot all our pop
ulation ; best off in the value of tbeir
lands, which, if high, are high because
they ul bring their price in the mar
ket ; best in steady compensating
returns for tbeir labor ; free from the
commersial disasters of other callings ;
free from tbe mental worry of other
pursuits, and vastly more free tban any
class from the visitations of the Sher
iff. There are gentlemen wbo constant
ly bemoan the farmer's situation ; tbe
bigb prices of land, Which constitute
his capital in trade ; the low prices of
some of the products grown in tbe west,
and tbe low rates of freights at which
the sailroads deliver them at our sea
board and thebce by ships to the con
sumers in Europe. But, sir, the Penn
svlvania farmer is still the master of
the situation. Tbe Pennsylvania far
mer must, as he can, adapt his pro
ducts to the never-failing market which
our great cities, towns and raining and
manufacturing centres everywhere give
b:m great food-consuming communi
ties like Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Scran-
ton, Heading and tiarrisDurg. Here
be is without a competitor. He hag a
monopoly in all perishable articles of
food, and these form tbe great bulk of
what we eat fruits, vegetables, milk,
and tbe long list of good things of which
in this temperate zone we make our
daily oil! ol fare. lou can bave no
quarrel with these towns and cities
which furnish your customers, and
which in turn make tbe clothes you
wear, tbe carpets you tread, tbe stoves
which warm your bouses, aod mine the
coal which fires them, which make your
bedsteads and sausage-cutters, your
garden hoes and school books, your bar-

The J'alional Sunday-School Teacher
says : lieibrich Brugscb, wbo unques
tionably is the best Egyptologist ot tbe
times, has published "A History of
Egypt Under tbe Pharoabs, in which
be embodies tbe results of bis investi
gations among tbe Egyptian inscrip
tions. In tbe tomb of one Baba, who
lived in the time of the sLcpherd kings,
he bas found a remarkable ratification
of tbe Bible story of Joseph and the
famine. Tbe inscription in that tomb
recites tbe praises of Baba after this
fashion : " 1 gathered grain as were I
a friend of tbe gods of tbe harvest. I
was careful at the period of seed-time.
And when now a famine arose tbat
lasted many years, then I distributed
grain to the city in its distress." From
other data Brugscb has no doubt tbat
this refers to the seven rears' famine of
the Mosaic record. From the same
source, also, we learn that the first high
dignity conferred upon Joseph was tbat
of -'cultivator of the land," an expres
sion which appears in the old Egyptian
script. When be rose to the position
of tbe highest power behind the throne,
be bore tbe name of Adon, a title that
indioates a ruler of a bigb degree, and
which is now found upon tbe monu
ments. And so from the tombs come
voices tbat proclaim the truth of tbe
sacred records.

An exchange makes the following ex
tracts from a letter' addressed by Cyrus
V . field, of New York city to Murat
Halstead, Esq. After complimenting
Mr. Halstead for tbe spirited campaign
his paper, tbe Cincinnati Commercial, is
making, Mr. Field says:
But it seeois to me tbat some ot our
politieians fail to see tbe situation aa it
is seen by a business man like myself.
What is it?
We bave before ns two candidates,
both of whom are worthy and edmcated
gentlemen. - Hancock was educated at
the expense of tbe Government. Gar
field obtained a much more liberal
culture, at his own expense and by bis
own bard labor. Both fought to sfve
the Union. Hancock fought, tbe Gov
ernment having educated and paid bim
for that purpose ; Garfield, who bad
made himself a college president and
State Senator, sacrificed apparently
brilliant prospects, and volunteered and
fought bis way np to be Major General.
Hancock is without civil experience.
Garfield bas bad nearly twenty years of
service as a legislator, two in the Ohio
State Senate and seventeen in Congress.
In both he quickly became a leader,
and be has always been a diligent atu
deDt of political economy and of princi
ple of government.
Garfield has shown as much courage
in Congress as he did in tbe Geld. In
1806, while yet a young member, and
when few appreciated the dangers of
our irredeemable currenoy, be was
bold enough to say in the House: "Go
as you now are going on, and a financial
crisis, worse tban that of 1837, will
bring us to tbe bottom. I, for one am
unwilling that my name should be link
ed to tbe fate of a paper currency. I
believe that any party which coinmitts
itself to paper money will go down
amid the general disaster, covered with
tbe curses of a rained people.' Of
course be alluded to an irredeemable
paper currency. The financial inter
ests of the country will be safe with
such a man as President. There la no
question concerning the financial
policy of tbe Government the tariff,
taxation or anything else on which Gar
field has not a fall honorable ftnd
consistent record, Tbe people know
exactly what be will do if elected.
But if Hancock should be elected,
who knows what his polioy would be
on any great practical question? Does
be himself know ? Would be not be
wholly in the hands of his friends?"
After mentioning the evil influences
to which Hancock would be subjected
should be be elected, Mr. field con
eludes r
Who are the men with whom he is like
ly to surround himself? The ablest
and best statesmen of tbe country, who
are to be found among his old associates
in Congress and public life.
He knows what they are, what they
can do and what are tbeir Strong points
He is a master of the theory anu prac
tice of government. He bas been
tried and found not wanting on every
question of tbe day. Our prosperous
financial condition will not bo put in
peril through bis ignorance, inexper
ience or weakness as a President. For
the last half century no man bas gone
to the White House with such a splen
did training for tbe duties of the Pres
idency as James A. Garheld.
I prefer the certainty of continuing
our present prosperity under Garfield's
presidency to gambling on the chances
that Hancock mav learn a business to
which be has given neither time nor at
tention the business of statesmanship.
I remain, my dear Mr. Halstead, very
truly your friend,
