By order of the Republican State Com mittee. THOMAS V. CooPER, Chairman. The election in Oregon on • Monday, resulted in a Republican victory. The leg islature elected will 'elect a successor to United States Senator Grover, dem. Mark the fact'. that all the free trade papers of New York, Dencocratic and Iltepublicen, want the Republican party in Pennsylvania defeated. , C fail Can any one to understand the reason ? ' Aks the Republican convention is to be 'reconvened, to nonlinate a candidate for congressman-at-large, special efforts should be made to' give stkch an expression of sentiment through it as to silence all cap . tious grumblers. The Philadelphia Ledger „ Unquestionably the most influential Independent journal in the State, is warmly supporting Beaver: Mr. Childs says his paper does this not because of any political feeling or bias, but because he believes this much at least is f lue to General Beay.gr's high character as EMI= Crop dispatchesirom some sixty 'points in the southern part of Minnesota show fine weather and a generally favojable 4p pearance of wheat and other smelt grains.

Wheat is ex cellent,land corn ,rood in the main, though some wheat is injured by cool weather, and the necessity of replanting after the jai° freshets. Complaint is general of injury -to the cotton by the cool weather, bright sunshine:and warm nights being nnw re quired. ' In many Places the plant has died, and replanting:has been necessary. - lien_ Winfield Scott Haucock has been on a visit to Judge Black 'at York, Pa., and shrewd political observers think that the object of the visit was to - arrange for his nomination as Goren:y:o of . Pennsylva nia on the Democratic ticket. The Demo crats have strong hopes of Carrying `the State this year owing to RepnblicaeAivis- ions and if. Hancock could carry Pennsylva nia this year he would have track for.the Democratic nomination for Presi dent in 1884. ' The Monroe Doctrine has crossed the Atlantic, at least it looks as if Europe ' did not `ant American interference in the old worla. A-Berlindespatch, referring to two men-of-waf ordered to Alexandria, says that the thirnians consider American inter ference in Egyptian affairs unnecessary. this . may bc,io; biliSarnerican citizens in Egypt have "a -right' to protection from their country, dila the government aid its duty in orderin men-of-war to Alexandria for that purp . Some folks cheer themselves with the idea that wars and rumors of war are. at an end - atnongst civilized nations; but they must draw their conclusidns chiefly, if: not entirely, from the situation in this &bun try: In-Europe there is nn P c rospect of war, ceasing. There, for instance is poor little' Denmark, which has a popubition of about 1,800,000, and a national debt of $28,000,- 000,,and is going to spend 'slB,soo,ooo—a good deal more than her yearly income— in forts and new ships of war: The cases of the Commonwealth against he - Standard Oil Company and the Stand- Oil . Company: against the Cc.minon wealtl were argued before the. Supreme 4`,ourt at Harrisburg Wednmday of last week. Both sides had taken out, writs of error, and the cases were argued together.. The. Commonwealth, was representbd by Attorney General Palmer, Deputy Attorney General S'uodgrai..4s and Lyman D. Gilbert. The arguments on both tides differed but little from those presented •' before the cowl Lel.ow. A decision will not ?.)e rendered until October, when the mint meets in Pittsburg: _ I • It is good news for people in this State to learn that the Delaware prach crop shows uncommon Vitality this year in" more ways ' than ono. They luive resisted the deter mined assaults of a hostile season, have blossomed luxuriously, and now arel"all of a strut with the young fruit," says the Smyrna Tittles, which addti: "TM'S intent of nature to do its best after a year of rest is notable in the great number . of twin peaches; one Winer tells us that he foutid no less , than th'ree on a twig of six ~inches; • • and says. others have noticed the ntitaber of double peaches in the same bloom cup. Such a strong intent in production has not been noticed since 18n." Antong the Favesdecorated on the, 30th tilt was that 41 President Garfield, which received its fikst tribute in the yearly blos soming, (3 . '6 the field of grounded arms. ,Last year at This time in iigorous health, it was only the circumstance of Mrs. Gar :, field's illness that kept the President from the meeting a, Gettysburg, , where he was to have takerr,conspicuous part in the cere monies. But for that nearer duty there would have been on record for the memo ries of the day just past, some such clear cut, loyal and broadly patriotic sentences as will ever connect Mr. Lincoln's last ut terances to his countrymen with the field of Gettysburg. What a season of suffering and hopes and united prayers, and still more united sorrow, the American people have lived through since Dec orati on day of 1::1. Chairman Cooper has filmed a call for the delegates tO,the Republican Convention of May 10th. to assemble Harrisburg on Wednesday June'2lst, to choose ' a Canal' datsfor Congressman-at-Lire° - la fill the "-14luicY occasioned by the resignation of Thomas Marshall: • At last the Star Bouts trials are fairly under way. A jury has been empatmeled with less difficulty than had been expected, and it is now in order for the prosecuting t cohnsel.to substantinate 'the elaborate in dictment prerented with appropriate• evi dence. As this will be a long and difficult task, and:as•the defence is certein to be commemorate in length • and . stubbornness with the attack;the public must be pre pared-to wait a good *while ' yet for the verdict. • The Democratic papers are ail jubilant over the prospect of the Republicans of this State defeating themselves by division. It means a Democratic Legislature, says the New Orleans Democrat, and a Demo. cratic Senator in place of Cameron, also a Democratk apportionment, which will give us twenty Congressmen instead of nine, equal to a change of twenty-two votes in Congresa—dolibtless more than enough to :decide the majority. It is easy to see, therefore, says .the Southern paper mention ed; the great influence this Pennsylvania bolt promisek to have; upon national poli tics. The anti-polygamy law seems to have had no effect upon the emigration of - Merman proselytes to this country. A bitch of about three hundred ds these converts..from Europe arrived at Neli York 'On Sunday, and - others are expected to follow. Six emissaries of the Mormon Church, called elders, sailed for Europe last week to join the missionary forcvnd help on Abe - work of recruiting for the-Church. The charac ter' of this class of immigration which aver age several thouiand every - year, is of a very low grade both physically and men tally. The ixen are weakly, dull and igno rant, and the women• fie anything but intelligent or. comely. The last' arrivals 'were mostly Sweeds, Norwegian, Germans, English, Scotch, Swiss and Welsh in about the order named. -- • It is said that Mr. John I. Davenport's long and patient search for the writer of the Morey letter has at last been rewarded With success, and that the guilty author of the infamous forgery will when the proper time arrives be delivered up to justice. In the meanwhile, however, the mystery re mains nnrevealed, sand a tantalized _public must continua to control its excited but. un mitisfied curiosityms it best can. Why, however, if the culprit has been found, there should be any delay in putting him where he belongs is something that defies conjecture at serves to throw suspicion. upon the story ,of the Capture. The author ship of the Morey letter is a less interest ing question than it was eighteen months ago, but at the same time it is a pity that so great a scoundrel as the man who con cocted that monumental forgery should go unwhipped of justice. The Census Office' has issued a bulletin showing that by the census of 1880 the number of persons in the United States 50,- 155,783; the area in square miles, 2000,170; the number of families, 9,945,916; the num ber of dwellings 8,965,812; the number of persons to a square mile, 17.29; the number of families to a square mile, 3.43; the num ber of dwellings to a square mile, 3.02; acres to a person, 37.61; acres to a • family, 186.62; persons to a dwelling, 5.40, and persons to a family,. 5.04. The area is land surface only, and exclusive of the Indian Territory and tracts of unorganized terri tory aggregating 69,830 square miles. These details are very interresting. It will be observed that five is the average of num ber of persons to each family, assuming that the whole population is nu/de up of families, and that there is one dwelling plitce for every six persons. •There could hardly be amore comfortable general show ; -- , ing. THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR HASTE. Five months will intervene between the present time and the November election. A sufficient time for the due consideration of the difficulties which seem to be perplexing the Republican party of our State. The ticket nomi nated at Harrisburg has the .sanction of prior party usage, and ordinarily would receive the support of all con sistent Republicans. But it is con fronted with a second ticket, professed ly Independent Republican, which claims to be equally zealous in the cause of Republicanism as the other. If the "secondticket shall develop any considerable following; it will defeat the regular or Harrisburg ticket and give success to the Democrats. The, , situation is easy of comprehension, and it will devolve upon the voters who aim to so vote as to protect the best inter ests of the whole people, to consider well the responsibility thus thrust upon them. There is no cause for hasty conclusions_ or hasty committals. Wait and see what future develop ments may demonstrate. - The people will no doubt have an opportunity to See, and to hear the candidates upon both tickets in defence of their rela tions to the purty andi Republican principles. Before any Republican should commit himself to the support of the Independent ticket he should be convinced that sufficient cause exists for so casting his vote as to contri bute to the defeat of his party and to the success of a party with which he does not hold a po)itical sentiment in common. Our own course shall be guided entirely by these considera tions. We yet entertain, a hope that there may he an amicable 'adjustment of existingparty divisions and that we shall have but one ticket presented to us at the polls. Were 'it not for the animosities existing between ambitious party leaders,' the whole difficulty might be easily adjusted.? Bu r t while the party is threatened, 'both on the one hand and on the other with dis trnction, if there is any yielding of the respective following of .the political bosses, there is little prospect of any "let up" of the' inen who have their hand on the machinery of organization on either hand.'. : lf our United States Senators would lattend to their legiti mate dutieti and permit the Republican' party-of Pennsylvania to take care of itself, filt would be well.. It would be united and harmonious, and on the sure road to success. If the party could ignore them and keep them out of the canvass it would get along much better. 'lt has always been distasteful to us, as we have a right to prilume it has to very many othte that after we had worked hard to s victory for the Repablicii cause, the„. result of all our:.'-`,:;effotte shOuld inure to . rithe benefit of soma politicatt‘this and be credited"-;' to political account.as so mach stet& in polities' syndicate organized to usurp an unfair and tyranical rulership over the party, while in mating our vote we had but the one motive of promo ting the general good. And then to be told; if we complain of this,. that we can't be recognized.* a good. Repub.' , lican, makes the situation still more aggravating:: -If - ivabbieet to United States Senator Or to any member of .the party - cramming a whole State dele- . gation to a Natienal convention down into his pocket under the unit rule, and delivering 'them blindfolded to be wielded es a machine in his hands to enable him to ostracise us after we have done our beat for party success, we are told we must be excluded from, i the party councils, that we are - only wanted when it =comes time to -vote. Thousands of Republicans in the State have stood this kind of treatment for years, and have condoned" o contri bute to the success of the patty, as we have done, and shall do - ndw. We can better afford to incur risk of curing these evils by r asserting our con victions and 'our influence *Rhin the party, than to render - ourselves power less by stepping outside and defeating not only ourselves but the party , also., Our advice is to our Mends to stay iii and fight our battles and settle our grivancei there. But the methods Mid practices to Which vFe have referred have brought on the difficulties and divisions with whiclthe party is' now confronted. We need not ask, who Is to blame for it ? The answer is to ap. parent too require the question. If the Republicans of the State do not pre pare to eliminate the party of Such bossism when they elect a legislature , whiti s h will have the choice of the, next United States Senator, they will fail of .their duty. It can' best; 'be done by reform inside the party. Let * us fight MEI thWtattle there; first for the elCct4on of the,iihkole ticket, .then for thO.':depo sition an decapitation of the men who seek - t4pproPriate every party tri umph to their own persOnal use and benefit: The decrease in the public debt, in May ans $13,846,253, though, thd. ~,Lill in the Treasuryhaving been reduced kiy' ab o ut $3,500,000, the Oricial repeirt of decrease of debt less cash in Treasury was $19,371V 441.19. In other words, the revenues ex-; ceedcd all expenditures except for the re demption of bonds by that amount; but, es Secretary Folger had made three calls which matured in May, and rhad to take up bonds to the amount of $14,2001090 under these and prior calls, ho diew some money for that purpose from the: i-cash re serves. More money was placed in - the market, therefore, than was drawn from it by taxation, although the receipts in May were over $36,590,000, and were • $4,300,- 000 larger than in May of last year. In eleven months of the fiscal year the decrease in debt less cash in the Treasury has been $139,123,655, or about $36,000,000 more than it was in eleven months of the pre vious year, and it is likely to reach $150,- _OOO,OOO for the Swill year ending June 30. `The receipts have already been $374,425,- *3l, and it is now believed that they will be at least $405,000,000 for the ' year. This has never 'been exceeded except in the fiscal year 1870, when the were $411,000,000. , A bill in equity haS been filed in the York County Court by Jacob and Mary' Minter against the officers and directors of the Southern Pennsylvania Belief Aksociation of Hanover, to recover $3000,0n policy issued by the defendant company on, the life of Elizabeth . .ICohktr, who died some time before the dissolution of the company. Complainants allege that they have paid assessments amounting to. over $4OO. and at the death of the insured , the whole , amount of the policy could'have. been raised by the levying and collection of the assess ments autholized by the regulations of the coniptmy. The case is an interesting, one from the fact that it will be a test as to thi) responsibility of the officers, and if' decided in favcir.of thinplaintiffs hundreds of similar suits will felkiw. A difficult•question of parlimentary and constitutional lawhas been raised for the consideration of the United States Senate. Acting' ice President DaVid Davis being desirous of a respite ' from official duty, undertook to deputize Mr. Ingalls to 'act in his stead. The 'question is whether. it is competent for him to do so;` and whether if Mr. Davis were to die and Mr. Arthur were to be "removed,". Mr.' Ingalls, acting as temporary President' of the Senate, under such circumstances would be eligible, as Mr. Micawber used to say,. for. transla tion to the Presidency. It can hardly mat ter much for all practical purposes - how this problem should tte solved, but that its argument should hae been raised shows what a keen eve that Democrats have to Presidential possibilities. Senator Hill' condition is described by an Eureka S rings' correspondent, who saw the sufferer on Thursday of last week: "He is very feeble and his life, apparently, fast ebbing away. He generally keeps in= doors and in his room and in bed. Ho :suf fers terribly and uses morphine to eaie the pain. His face has a'drawn, ghastly look and is rapidly decaying. The:, bone is crumbling; the deca y is attributed to the ravages of the, canier. • He Las Igreat: diffi culty in making himself undeistood, hot being able to articulate distinctly.

At the rimy high prices which prevailed when they began to come in, there vas Someprofit in •the ''transaction, but it was Scion found that the potatoes were of a very inferior quality compared with those grown in this county, and the demand for theni became light.

Was se palpable :the ;Deariocrats made but a feeble resistance in seating the contestant. The Democratic 'press, especially of..the South, came down upon the House 'with terrible severity for sitting in their seats and permitting one of their number to be unseated while they hid tfle power- to break a quorum and, to have prevented nail* This spurred the - minority to resolve inn secret caucus that in the other cases' which were to follow Ithey would fillibuster to pre vent action %kin them. The first case in which they put their tactics into operation was that of Mackey vs. O'Connor, of the second South Carolina district. ,The case was called-up in regular order= Saturday, May 20th, when Mr. Randall raised the question of consideration, and called for the yeas and naywupen the question, and they were ordered. This move was for the pur pose of testing whether there was a quorum of Republicans present. On the conclusion of the call of the roll, the Demegrats having refused to vote, the House.,, was foimd to be without a quorum. A call of the House was ordered,_, and the doors closed. A 4 unsuccessful effort to-find a majority oE:Republicans, induced them to dispens with 'further _proceedings under the call and to move an adjournment until Monday following. Every absent Republi can was telegraphed for, and within three days a quorum was present. But the Dem ocrats still had the power to obstruct the .E admit of the House by dilatory motions, as the rules prescribed no limit to the privi lege. After a fruitless struggle of a week the. Republicans determined to amend the rules sons to cut off the power to obstruct the action of the House' upon a question of constitutional right involving the right of a ineinber, declared duly elected, to occupy a sent in the House. They, accomplished the adoption of the rule on Monday last. When the Democrats saw that they were defeated, i their wrath was unbounded. Randall ranted and roared, Beltzhoover belched, Cox danced a pigeon-wing around Miller, of Pennsylvania, Springer, of .Illinois, sprung a leak, and there was hot blood on the Democratic side generally. But Repub lican patience had become exhausted, and they adopted the rule, wiff then moved an adjournment for the day. On Tuesday, after occupying nearly the entire day in debate, in which both sides had an opportu nity of presenting arguments to go upon the Record, the previous question was ordered and the main question breught to vote, re sulting in ',seating Mr. Mackey. There were two other' cases ;which had been re , ported in favor of the contestants, and the Republicans determined to proceed with them at once. These wore the case of Bisbee vs. Finley, of the second district of Florida, and Lowe vs. Wheeler, of the eighth district of ,Alabaina. The first was 'taken up on Wednesday morning, and con cluded Thursday 'evening, and Mr: Bisbee iswoni in. The second was taken up on Friday morning and conchided on Saturday, and. Mr. Lowe sworn in. The dispatch with which the last two cases were disposed of is due to the new rule, which is entirely just, and should have been tulcipted long, long ago. _ / The house will now proceed with the ANNUAL APPROPRIATION FILLS, and be ready probably to adjourn abouethe first of next month.

When the noise had subsid. ed Captain George G.

When the Re publican ticket was nominated: at Ear nslurrg, the club, believing the nomina tions were in accordance with the true principles of Republicanism; ' endorsed them. The Philadelphia Press spread it broadeast r that.the club had endorsed , the Independent nominatims at Phila.' delphia. In order to , correct this mis take we have prevailed on .

' General Beaver then stepped forward, he was greeted with prolonged cheers, • THE GENE..IIAL I B . SPEECH ,'Leaning upon his crutches, he looked out ovei the assembled thousands, and said:. 'Gentlemen: I accept this com pliment, betokening, as it does, the loyalty of the good Republican people of. Harrisburg.

The lines. of battle have not yet been' drawn, but When they are, the Republican party will be found to be the amacliing Party. No defense in this Carnpaig,n,. it s you please.

From Like Erie to the Dele waie the same spirit animates the peo ple as it does you to-night. and you touch elbows with true Republicans all over the State.

There 'is no fault to' find with the finan: ces. - it will be seen before we finish this campaion what the motives .are that influenced thin faction to take up arms and fire in the rear. We have heard that fire in the rear before and on our flanks. Our, faces are set to the foci. An attack' on the flanks is demoralizing, sometimes, but not this year. I never was 'in the habit of being scared much, and I confess I am not in this campaign._ The heavy artillery has all been fired on the other° side, and it did not amount to much: The line of battle , will be formed on June 28. L From the skirmishers before me. I believe we will `walk over the other fellows. You are in 'sympathy with the great mass of the people, and I,know victory will crown us in No vember neat.. It . is well foryou to be stirred up. The interests of this city are stirred up. The National interests arnstirred up. If. you are ready for a loss of power— . .to place this -Govern nient in the hands of the Democracy— drop your hands. .What they call the tail of the Republican ticketit has been chopped off lately' (Laughter)--is all important, and there are vital inter ests in the election of. a . Congressman at-Large. '"his vote will be needed at . Washington, in vital tatiff issues. Let us. make no mistake on the issues. Let us fight our own battles. I call upon you here to-night to give yourselves to the interests involved in this. contest, and let us have such a victory on next November as will teach factionists to do their fighting in the party lines , and not drag their quarrels before the whole world. (Cheers.) I thank you for your kindness to me.. Good night. Gen. Bea;;Ter then introduced his . colleague on the ticket, Senator Davies, who referred to the fact that it - wasl i the Young Men's Republican Club of Har- : risburg which started the fightin Penn sylvania for Hoyt in 1878, and for the lamented Garfield in 1880, both of which were victories. He asked if there, were any reasons why a true Republi? can should not vote for General Beayer whose nomination was not only made by the people before the Convention met, but pride at the Convention in accord with all precedents from Curtin to thepresent official. Has any thing that hebas done, or is there any trait of his character against hini ? I believe that all Republicans all over the State will work together to -elect him, and theßepublicans Of Bradford expect to greet_ the Republibans of Dauphin ' with the same old time majority that always 'characterized us as staunch and loyal.
