It is time to admonish the Republi cans of Bradford that the fall election is drawing nigh. Little, ,if anything, too little certainly, is being ' done to bring out the Republican vote of the ootinty in cruppoit of !lc nomitictb ut the party. With the exception of a few ambitious men who, are governed entirely by sinister motives, the ticket, is accepted generally by the Republi cans of the county as an unexceptionably good , One. Who can doubt the capac ity and personal integrity of such men as George W. Blaokrnan, Wm. T. Hor ton, James H. Webb, Ehen Daniel Bradford, Myron Kingsley, Joseph T. 'Tested *and W. W. Moody, who compose the Republican county ioket, and are - our nominees' respect ively for the offices of. Prothonotary, Sheriff, Register and Recorder, Treas. urer, County Commissioners and County Auditors ? They are all well known -to the Republicans of the county as trustworthy, honest and capable citizens, well qualified. to honorably discharge the duties of the office for which‘ they are nominated. What good reason is there that they should not each atid all receive the full Re- publican vote of the county ? Do the - Democrats present any more worthy or more, - capable men? Men in the Re publican party who entertain personal grievances cannot say that they do. I they are true Republicans it is their duty then to support the nominees who represent Republican principles. Especially is it their duty at the pres ent time in . view of the action of the Democrats at Washington, in usurping a power given them by the assassin Guiteau. Remembering this shanieful exhibition of Democratic greed for power at the expense of decency and morality, let there be no sulking or skulking in your tents, but tome out earnestly and actively for the. largest possible majority for the wliole•Repub limn ticket. Vote it- as a- whole, without aeratehing or changini a name, and you will have done a dtity - you owe t 4:;) your country The people elected Chester A. Arthur Vice President. Gite.au elected Sena tor Bayard President pro tem of the Senate and ex- officio Vice Presidant. Quite a difference, but it makes no diff- _erenee with the Democratic party how power is gained. The decision of the American people is reversed by an assassin's bullet. For Democratic purposes one bullet is more potent than millions of ballots cast by free men. 'Democratic greed for power has an unexampled illustration in the action of the party Senators in the election of a President pro tem of the Senate. DEMOCRATIC USURPATION The Senate of the United States mei in extiaordinary session on Monday last in pursuance of the proclamation of President Arthur. As the body stood politically prior to the resignation of the Ne*: York Senators, th - e'death of Senator Burnside and the lamentable death of President Garfield by the hmid IN of the assassin Guiteau, the Republi .„ , cans- with t he casting vote of vice- Preadeut Arthur, who was ex ().t -'o PreAdent of the Senate, had a majority of One. By =his succession to the Presidency, Mr. Arthur is removed from the Presidency of. the Senate. The resignaiiim - of Senators Conkling and Platt and the death of Senator Burnside made it necessaryto. fill their plaCes with new men. I%sth — thew. new Senators in their seats the Senate is politically a tie, without them the De- mocrats have an aecidental majority o three. This was the situation when the Senate convened on Monday last. In the shadow of the Nation's sor row, it would have been but an act of decent respect for the expressed "will of the people whose votes elected Mr. Arthur to the Vice-Presidency, for the Democratic - Senars to have admitted the three new Senators, 'who were there with their proper credentials, to their seats, and then to have chosen a Repub-, Bean Senator President No kin *of the Senate and ex officio Vie - e - President, in harmony with the popular sentiment of the people as expressed in the last Presidential election. This it ,seems was too much to expect. • In defiance of precedent, in contempt of the rights of New York and Rhode Island, in disregard of pnblic morality, the Democratic Senators refused to ad mit the three new Senators to their seats, and usurped ; by the power of their accident majority thus gained and maintained, the election of Senator Bayard. Democrat; of Delaware, to the Presidenay pro tem - pore of the Senate, and make him by virtue of his office Vice President of the United States, an office to which he could pot-have been elected by the popular vnte of the _peo ple, and in defiance the judgment of the Republic. In view of this exhibition of usurped power, we appeal to Republi cans to remember their party traditions. We must not suffer this 9agrant wrong to pass •unrebuked.. We must, for the time being, forego all party differences growing : out of unfair action of Repub lican party leaders, and show a united front both for our local ind State tickets in protestation of our abhor rence of the unjustifiable exercise of accidental, power by the Democratic party in the Senate of the United States. _ This action serves to warn Repub cans that no magnanimity is to be ex pected from Democrats. They have trampled upon the ashes of the martyred dead to usurp a power which does not belong -to them, and such nsurpation must not and shall not go unrebuked. We shall be mistaken if Republican§ do not -show by their votes when the November election comes, that they re sent the indignity put upon them by the accidental Democratic majority in the United States - Senate. They will re member it 'with a deep sense of the wrong, and forgetting all thingr differ ences will vote tootustain the traditions of the Republican party, and give to its candidates a solid Rebublican vote. Guiteau is a powerful promoter o Democratic ascendency. Stand by the Republican county and State tickets, and forego all local strifes-for the time being. The action of the Democratic Sena ors at Washington will make thirty thousand votes for Bailey in Pennsyl- vania. - We publish this week the letter of_ Hon. James G. Blaine to President Garfield accepting the portfolio of State: After reading this admirable letter, written with no thought of its ever being published, and published now without consulting Mr. Blaine, who can doubt- the ,genuine true-hearted manhood of its author ? Higher and nobler sentiments of unselfish friendship and earnest desire for the promotion of purity of administration were never expressed. Such 'sentiments could not emanate from any but a true and - noble hear t. A large , and enthusiastic meeting was held in Washington, Wednesday night, to promote the- establishment of a Garfield memorial hospital• in that city. The whole country and foreign nations will be invited to subscribe. It is intimated that the „Queen will head the list in Great Britain, and that other European rulers will contribute: The Vicksburg BeraidAiys: "Tbis is the time for Northern laborers to come South. Too. many cannot possibly come. All the immigrants :can find homes and immediate employment .in the South too. Everythiag in the South is booming, and thousands of workers are needed to keep up the boom." The census returns show that the Southern cotton mills make.finer t goods on the average than those of . New En - 7 gland, earning eleven cents a yard for the goods turned out by them, where 'as the New England: mills get . only eight and one half :cents.. ( D utk, , OF •REPUBL,ICANS. : T.he .Republicans of Pennsylvania .have reached a point where it is impor tant for tip to take their bearings and wisely steer their course. They are bound to consider in a high and patriotic spirit what they owe to them selves — and- what they owe to their Itepublican brethren throbghnut the hind. They must remember not merely the immediate impulses of the hour, but the vital and transcendent interests of the future. It is easy, in a moment of unreflecting passion and in strildngTat the abuses which have growl:l74, to pull down the temple of Republi&in organi- zation; but it is the ,work of time and patriotism and statesmanship to build up a souud and enduring superstructure There may be reckless - leadership which s disastrous and which justifies resis tance. and there may also be a method of opposition 'Which is equally inconsid- erate and destructive. What.is the duty of earnest, sincere, honest Republicans in this campaign ? What is the duty of those who right fully class ,themselves as Independent Republicans ? First of all, they are preeminently patriotic Republicans— Republicnns from conviction; Repnbli- cans from a profound deyotion to true Republican principles; Republicans from an intelligent apprehension of the vital importance of Republican ascendency to . the highest welfare of the country. They recognise no man as superior to themselves in fidelity to sound Republi canism. They are party men, and understand full well that political prin ciples and public ends are to be advanced through party . organization They know ihat the flag of liberty was successfully planted at Yorktown and at Gettysburg, not by the broken blows of straggling-guerillas, but by the united onset of the grand army.. . The only sound basis of lasting party organization is the free union of all who hold the same great principles. What is the true position of the Independent Republicans? Simply this- , . they say to those who have been identified with a different element: "We _ask nothing for ourselves which we do not fully con cede to you; we recognize that you are just as essential to the fatty as we are; we grant you the same tight to a free voice, to a respectful consideration and to all your just strength which we{clL4m for ourselves. We only insist upon a tree vote, an honest count and fair representation. What we resist is- an arbitrary and usurped control; what we demand is the honest rule of an honest majority. We seek only equal rights and fair play. If with this free, untrammeled • popular expression you can beat us, if the real .majority of Republicans are with you, then you are entitled to lead; if not, then it is your duty, as it is ours, to let the majority rule. Our cardinal, decisive principle is free speech, a free vote and 'free representation." This is the impregnable position of the Independent Republicans, and this high principle requires them to fight their battles within the pArty until it shall beCome clear that within the party they cannot secure a fair expres sion or obtain their just. rights. That time has not yet come. -If _ the Inde pendent Republicans are true to them selves, if they shall be and united,, if they shall not sacrifice the strength' of their position by ill-consideredi action, that time will never come, be- cause in entering upon the Succeeding battles they will speak with' such clear ness and force that no power will dare defy them. After the decision of the party tribunal to go outside of the party and unfurl the Independent flag is revolution,. and revolution. is justifi= able only when all other measures of redress fail. That extreme resort re mains as the reserved right of all patriotic citizens, and with such a weapon the Independent Republican can in the future protect themselves and protect . the principles and the cause they cherish. But they are not yet _ready to surrender the battle within the party, ; they are not yet ready to abandon the good old Republican flag and leave it wholly in the hands of 'the machine ; they are not _yet ready to go outside of the party and thus sacrifice the right to a free voice in its future councils. They want to rescue the party from admitted evils, but in cut_ ting off the tumors they do not want to kill the patient.. But will not the election of General Bally, especially in the face of an In dependent movement, irretrievably establish the machine 'and crush out all independence within the party ? No mot any more than the success of 1879 did'; nor any more than the control of .the convention of 1880 did. In spite of these triumphs the Independe, strength has gone on increasing until at Harrisburg the other : day it mustered more than a third of the Con vention. The Independent Republi cans made no real fight ; they remained passive in the. faith of an agreement; they opened their batteries only ten days before the Convention after most of the delegates had been elected, and yet they rallied nearly a hundred votes. If they stand together within the party and remain both firm and prudent they can command the future—not neces sarily for the exclusive triumph of their own wing any more than of the other, but for fair play and just consideration all around. The movement of Mr. Wolfe is not thesmovetnent of the In dependent leaders or the Independent masses, and hence. its failure and the election of General Bally will not pre judice the Indepeddent cause in the futuie, It is said that Mr. Wolfe's proceed ings is the logical sequence- of the: In= dependent revolt-in the Legislature last *inter, and is entitled to the ,same support. This is not true. That revolt was l . simply an, appeal from the constrained dictation of , the caucus; to the free action of the, Legislature. It never for a single moment jeopardized l ie election of a Republican United Statesfzgenitor. This campaign ot Mr. Wolfe, , on the contrary, if it has any efleci at all, will throw. the State - into DemooratiO bands. _Thai ;-. the differ enee betweelthe two movements is as wide as , the - chasm between Republican 1 victory and Dernwratio success. We do not impeach - Mr. Wolfe's motives, but we dissent from his niethod. -The great body. of the Jrtdependent refire sentatives appreciate the broad disline- Lion, and see that both principle ; and policy command them to stand bk . the Republiean flag. The Stewarts,l the ,Davies, the Lees, the KauffinanO, the . Lears, the Koontzes, the Geistsi the Martins and L ill the other recogOized leaders of the Independent forces, ex cept Mr. Wolfe` himself; sustain the Republican ticket s and where they lead the Independent mass canoafely follow. The duty of thelitur is plain. The Republican party flaS'Aoo great a work yet before it to justify any Republican in imperiling its strength or its slecesii. We want to redeem the Republicanism of this Commonwealth from its faults, but in doing se we want to give it new vitality and moral vigor, instead of striking it down and ovetthrowing the Republicanism of the Union with the RepubliCanism of Pennsylvania. Let us stand together in defense of thegreat' principle of Popular Rule and Free Representation, but let Os also uphold and carry forward the Republican flag. Philadelphia. Press. Genera/ 'Bally in .

OHMITLY REMAINS OF THE DEAD. Lieutenant Clark, wholvent up with Lieutenant Overton to bury the dead bodies nosy Apache, , states that he found Sounder's wagon in a canyon near 'Apache, where Saunders and two other. men had beep killed. Saunders had been tied to the axletree of the wagon and burned. The two men who were with 'him probably jumped from the wagon when they discovered the Indi ans, as their bodies were found two hundred feet from it ; in :different direc tions. It is -- supposed that Saunders was binned beeause he had killed some hos tiles, as he was a brave man and known to be a splendid shot. The remains of Tom Owens, mail carrier from Apache to Bcfrie, who volunteered to go out from Apache to ascertain the where abouts of the hostiles, were found by the presence of an emaciated dog that had Veen - shot through the -shoulder. The dog bad beaten _a ,trail going from the dead body .of the man, supposed to have been his master, to: Owens.! The tatter's remains had been washed down stream a short distance from where he was killed and lodged in the limbs of an overhanging willow. The . body was, stripped of all clothing, with a bullet through the head. All the corpses were much decomposed and had to be buried where found. The Indians bad con structed small breastwor,ks of' stone on the side of the roit'l, 'which they had covered over with grass _ to prevent them from being seen. The faithful dog of the unknown man was taken-to Camp Apache and is now in the posession of Colonel Carr, who ,will see that lie is faithfully cared for. A Roy' al Priest of Gods CINCLN'NATTI, October 2.-ReV. Isaac Errett, who delivered. the- funeral ora tion on President Garfield at Cleveland, addressed a large audience to-day at the Richmond-street Christian Church upon the death of the Into President. He said much, anxiety had been ex pressed .to leas' something from the death-bed of President Garfield; some last Word that would - affirm the faith. and convictions of his life. Comment has been made, too. upon the absence of religious talk or ministrations beside the:dying. The speaker thought too much attention wasgiven to mere death bed declarations. • Far better than any. death-bed testimony is the grand life of James A. Garfield. Through the caution of the: President's physicians no risk was permitted, and he died without any formal farewell mess.age or testimony. But it is known that at he beginning he" asked to' knosi the worst, aayin'g, "You know I am" not afraid of death." We know, too,. that when the Lord's day came he said to his attendants, "This is theLord!S day. I have great reverence for it." It may not be known that one Sabbath at Elberon, when he. lay with the sea rolling before his window and hoard from the chapel near by, the hymn— lover of my soul, ' He recognized it and quoted the wor3s: • Le,t , wie to thy bosom fly, While the .waters nearer roll, Tale the tempest still isnhigh. To thole who believe in the 'efficacy of a human priesthood there must be regret 00 President Garfield had 'none of these 'ministrations; but the Presi dent himself did not feel such a need, nor - do we. It would have been com forting -to the living to have had his pastor beside him at the last;' but we know that James A. Garfield was him self a royal priest of God, by virtue of his anointing as a Christian, and needed none, save the one mediator • between God and man, .to intercede for him .with the Father. "We admire," says the Chester Evening :brews, "the spirit', that battles manfully for reform in politics, and believe that the great mass of the people regardless of politic il dititinction, are in sympathy; with seal a causi.

DeC-20, 1880. My Dear Garfield: - • Your generous invitation to enter your Cabinet as Secretary. of State has been und4 •onsidcration for more than three weeks., The thought had - really never occhfied tc; my mind, until at our late conference, when you present ed it with such cogent arguments in its lavor , and with such warmth of personal frioldship iu aid of your kind offer. I know that uu early tipsier is desirable, and 1 have waited only long enough to consider the subject in all its bearings and make up my mind definitely and conclusively. I now say to you in the same mt.:Jai spirit in which you have I invited me, that I accept the position: It if 3 uo affection for me to add • that I make this decision, tint for the honor of promotion it gites mein public servi t• • but because think I c n.be_ useful to the country and the party,• useful to you as a responsible leader of the party, and the head of the government. I am influenced somewhat, perhaps, by the shower of lettels I have received urging rue to accept, written to mq in coneeqUkeps of a- were unauthorized newspapei report that you had been pleased' to offer' me the place. *bile I have received these letter's from all sectiona of the Union, I have been . - es pecially pleased and even surprised at the corclial . and widely extended feeling_ in my favor throughout New Eegland,_ where I had expeeted to'encounter local I jealousy, and perhaps rival aspiration. - In our new relation I Thal). give all that I am, and all that I can hope tobe, freely and joyfully to your service. You need no pledge of my loyalty in in heart au t tl in wt. I should be false to myself dud f not prove true,•both to the great trust you confide to me, and to your personal and political fortunes in the present and future. , Your ad ministration must be made brilliantly successful, anti strong in the confidence and pride of the -people: not at all di reeling its energies for re.electiou, and leT. - *Compelling that leault_lq the logic of events and by the imperious necesi ties of the situation. To that most de sirable consummalion, I can possibly, contribute as much iufinence, as any other one . mati. t. I say this not from cegetisat or vain gloryv• bat 'merely as a 'deduction from the rain - analysis of political forces I.i - ilia! 1 - Vp • been 7 at work in the Country t for five fears past, and which have- been - . "significuntly shown in two grant national .onven tions. I accept Has ori;J•of the happiest circumstandes 'connected with this of- fair, that in allying my Political for tunes with yours, or rather far the time merging mine in yours, my heart goes with my head, and that I carry to you not only political supi)c.rt; lint a person al, and devoted friendship. I cannot' bat regard . it as somewhat remarkable that two men of the samosa e. entering • Congress at the smile time, ietluenced. by the same aims and cherishing the same ambitioue,4,lioull ivv..r for a sin-• gle moment in eighteen years of close intimacy, have had a mistind,-n,tariding or coolness, and that our friendship' has steadily grown with oar growth, and stren'thend with our strength. It is this factwhich has led - me to the concha-' sion lembotlied in this letter, for how ever much, my dear Garfield, I might admire you as a statesman; I would t enterlyonr Cabinet if I dicl not believe in yen' as a mat and" love you es a cloud. __ Alivays faithfully yours, Mrs. Gaifield's Request. V.tsitilibxeN, October 6,—The Critic this morning says: "It is asserted by a person iu a position to know that „Mrs. Garfield has requested Dr. -Boyn ton to withhold the statement which he has , prepared relative -to the autopsy and the general treatment of the late President's case, as she ,was . .satisfied that the. President's wound was mortal and did not desire to . have the center iersy further prolonge,i.. That from August 12 the President had imperfect command of his mental faculties; . and that he had only lucid intervals:that ho often found it difficult to cAplete sen tences and his mind would wander toward the end of nearly every attempt at sentence-making. Many of the day ingsi attributed to 'him-were either mis understood or were not correctly report ed from the sick-hhamtier. The nota- . blenaying: 'ls it .worth while to con tinue this struggle longer?' is said to have originated in *the' statement made in the I'resideut's Wanderings when- he was evidently going over his work us a member . of of the tlectoral Commission . it worth while to go into the Florida business hirther? On arriving at', : -Long Branch he fell into a eupor from which he Aid hot - altotzether rally until the next day. When he did ur mime, he was surprised to, find where ho was, requested to bei.tke,a awaV,and said that he had usked, to be!tilten to Mentor and wished to go. , theo.. He frequently asked for Mr. 131 aide, and wondered why he did not come. But did not make a general. request that . all -the members of the C4inet visit him.

WiSITIN'OTON, October 4.—The events of the past few months have caused an interest to be attached to the Vermont avenue Christian' Church of this city, of which the late President Garfield was a communicant, which will render it a perpetual memorial to his; Christian life: The Trustees will place the pew regularly occupied by;him and his fam ily up.to the time of the assassination as near as possible in the: same spot in the new church. The funds solar ?nis ei by the Society through efforts made during the past Ming add Summer are not sufficient to build such a structure the association deserve, and the Building Committee_ hereby ; issue an appeal to the g( nt r,tl publid . for such offerings as the friends_ and countrymen of our beloved President may desire to give.
