BUTLER CITIZEN. lOHM H. k W. C. NEBLEV, PROP'BS. llcpnbHcan Ticket. FOB STATE TREASURER, Hon. Samuel Butler, OF CHESTER COUHTY. COB mtj Ticket. FOR JURY COMMISSIONER, J. "Wesley Monlis* OF MIDDLESEX. UNTIL JANUARY 1, 1881. We will famish the BUTLER CITIZEN from the present time unt.l Jan. 1, 1881, f«.r the sum of $1.50, to any ad dress. We desire to place the paper la the hands of every voter in the county, and make the above liberal offer with that object in view. The political campaign of 1880 promises to be one of the most ex citing ever known in the history of the country, and every voter should be fully posted concerning the prelimi nary skirmishing incident to the great contest, as well as upon the issues in volved therein, and there is no better means of information than that offered by a live local paper. The CITIZEN will give all the news of the week, local, political and general. Now is the time to subscribe. Special induce ments will be offered for the formation of clubs. Present subscribers paying arrears shall also have the benefit of the above offer, thus giving them .the paper more than two months for noth ing. THE drought prevails in almost all parts of the country, and water is so scarce in some cities and places as to cause need and alarm. Two hundred and forty-five cigar makers in Pittsburgh are about to strike for higher wages. Their cause may be Just, "but will likely end in smoke. MR. THOMAS HAYS, of Fairview, while moving a large casting at Karns City last week, had one of his hands badly hurt by the casting falling upon it .«»-. »m THIS is Indian summer, probably because the Indians are making things warm. Some of our Democratic friends, however, ascribe the late warm weather to the Ohio election, which made things so warm for them. HENRY C. CAREY, the well-known writer upon political economy, died in Philadelphia on Monday of last week, at the advanced age of 86 years. On the subject of political economy he probably had no equal in this country. OUR aggregate stock of gold coin will reach $350,000,000 this year if the estimate of an inflow of $30,000,- 000 holds good, which is justified by its present movement. * Thus it will be seen that we are quite sure to be firm and safe in the matter of resump tion. *> -m —- IRON ore, of a good quality and quantity, has been found on the farm of Mr. James Stevenson, near Center ▼ille Station, 81ipperyrock township, this county. So abundant is it that it is attracting attention and is being shipped to various parts. It is con sidered a valuable discovery. THE result in Ohio is calculated to favorably affect the coming result in Pennsylvania for the Republicans. Still we would say to our political friends, not to be too confidant, as work in politics always does much. The Democrats of this State are supposed to be again acting on the policy of a "still hunt," and are quietly working to have out all their vote. Republicans therefore should turn out folly to the polls on next Tuesday week, Nov. 4th. Too much confidence often brings defeat. ON our first page this week will be found an obituary notice of Dr. Le- Moyne, of Washington, this State, a man much distinguished in his day in several respects. He was one of the earliest and foremost of the old aboli tion party and was a Vice Presidential candidate for that party in 1844. He was also in late days the founder of the cremation doctrine for the dead, erected a crematory at Washington and directed that his own remains be reduced to ashes in it, which it will be seen was done. « m - New Telegrraph Line. Along onr streets are being erected new telegraph poles for the wires of a new company, called the "American Union," in opposition to the present great monopoly, the "Western Union Telegraph Company." The rates of the new company it is said are to lie reduced from the twenty-five cents now charged to ten cents, or that pro portion in message charges. This will be agreeable news not only to this community but throughout the country. The rates of the old company were high and oppressive and the reduction will be bailed as a relief from a mo nopoly. The time had fully arrived when this opposition was needed and the public will patronize it heartily. The posts being Bunk by the new company we observe arc much larger and stronger than former ones used. Four wires are stretched upon them. One affords direct communication di rectly north as far as Buffalo, New York. Another is direct to Pitts burgh. In a word, the citizens of Buttor and this vicinity will have a much more direct and a much cheaper telegraphic communication with almost all parts of the United States. THE ELECTIONS! Ohio 20,000 Majority! lowa 25,000 Majority! Ohio and lowa held their State elections last week and the result in each is Republican success by increased majorities. Both elected a Governor and Legislature. In Ohio, Foster, Republican candi date for Governor, has about 20,000 majority over Ewing, Democrat. The Legislature, which last year was Demo cratic, is now Republican, thus giving a United States Senator in place of Thurman, present Democratic Senator. This is the most important gain, con sidering the political situation of the country. lowa is again true to her Republican principles, re-electing the Republican Governor, Gear, by an increased vote. Maj. William G. Thompson, formerly of this county, is elected to Congress in the district in which he was a can didate. The meaning of this great Republi can success is easily understood. First among the reasons for it, is the very dread the people have of the bouth regaining political control of the Nation so soon after its rebellion. The memories of that war are anything but dead. Then again, the conduct of the Democrats in the last Congress aroused the people to a sense of the danger threatened by a "solid South." The success of resumption and the financial measures of the Republicans also added to their strength. The people are averse to any change back ward and want to see present financial principles fully tested. The result of these elections will have a great effect on those yet to be held in Pennsylvania and New York. Should they go Republican, as all ap pearances indicate they will, it already settles the Presidential election of next year. And it will prove that we are a Nation, settling for all time the seces sion doctrine of "State rights," which was supposed to have been settled by the late war, and which, with the amendments to the Constitution, should have been accepted by the Southern people. _ REV. HICKEY, of Clearfield town ship, this county, has returned from a visit to Rome, where it is said he was auccessfnl in having justice done him in his church trouble. THE communication of "Schwartz," and a letter from Michigan will appear in our next issue, not being space for them this week. IT is generally believed the Democ racy of Ohio have gone up—like Wise's lost balloon. Poster's Majority will Reach 20,000 COLUMBUS, Oct. 16.—Few new figures have been received here to-day by either committee, but the Republi can Committee, after gathering returns from various sources, report to-night that, according to their figures, Fos ter's majority will be somewhere near 17,000, It will take the full official figures, which cannot be obtained for some days, to decide definitely what the exact majority will be. It was reported this morning that Mounts, Republican candidate for Senator in the Butler-Warren district, had been defeated by one vote, but this afternoon the Republican com mittee have been notified that he is elected by twelve of a majority. This gives the Republicans twenty-two Senators and the Democrats fifteen. According to the best figures obtain able the Republicans have elected seventy members of the lower House. Returns from eighty-four out of eighty-eight counties give Foster, Rep., 19,027 majority. Other counties will make it 20,000. The Democratic Candidate Among: the Churches. Mr. Barr, the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer, has adopted a novel mode of electioneering. He was charged by a Pittsburgh paper with making personal appeals to the Cath olic clergy for the names of adult members of their congregations, and upon being interviewed by the Leader he admitted that the following letter had been sent to Roman Catholic cler gymen, and also to clergymen of other denominations. He said, "the Demo cratic State Committee started on its work without a name, and this is the only way we can reach the voters of the State. By this means wo have now on our books the names of many voters, to each of whom have been mailed a pamphlet containing a short biographical sketch of myself, the Democratic platform and the address of Chairman George W. Miller." DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE,} COR. FIFTH AVE. AND WOOD ST., >- PITTSBURGH, Sept. 2, 1879.)

To the People of Pennsylvania : The solid South only requires the aiil of a few Northern States to re verse the verdict of the war ; to in demnify unrepentant traitors for losses incurred in rebellion against the na tion's life; to destroy the public credit by plundering 1 the National Treasury ; and to blast the restored prosperity of the people by repealing' the financial and protective legislation to which we owe the revival of business. Does this overstate the danger to which our country is, at this moment, exposed ? The unrestrained rule of the Rebel Democracy means ruin ! The leaders of the dangerous coalition will never hesitate to carry out their schemes if the power to carry them out can be grasped in any way. Ilcmember this! Any man who bad predicted, on the night when the whole North was shouting over the surrender of Lee, that in fourteen years the Democratic party would be in the majority in the United States Senate and House of Representatives ; and that this Democratic majority in each House would be composed of two rebel officers to one Northern Democrat; that the rebel General second in command under Lee at Appomattox would be a senator from Georgia; that the Postmaster General and the Vice President of the South ern Confederacy would be in the House, with more than a hundred veterans, making laws to govern, and to punish, their conquerors,—the man then making such a prediction would have been believed on the road to a mad-house. And vet, what would have been considered insane raving in 18fi5 is disgraceful history in 1879. With this fact in remembrance who will dare to mark a limit to Southern arrogance and Democratic cringing ? Will the salutary laws protecting in dustry, will the public credit, will the Nation's honor, be maintained and defended by the malignant enemies of them all? Shall our heroes continue on the pension rolls, or will they be forced to retire in favor of the veterans of the rebel armies? A rebel-Democratic restoration in this country moans that the "Lost Cause" has been regained, and no sane man can doubt this—no honest man can deny it! The safety of our country demands the total exclusion from power of that party in which every unrepentant rebel finds a congenial home and a hearty welcome, and find these because he remains in his sins, and for that reason only. We are admonished by the rebel- Democrats and their brevet assistants that State issues alone enter the pres ent campaign. The Republicans alom\ have nothing to avoid in even a harsh review of their record since 18G9 in the conduct of State affairs. But State issues must wait. A mighty national issue confronts us. Political murder has cemented the South into a solid mass for whoever the rebel-Democracy nominates here after on a national ticket. Enough of the North is TO BE BOUOHT to follow the lead of these assassins. And this combination, of murder on the one part, and fraud and bribery on the other, is on trial before the great tri bunal of the American people. On this august tribunal Pennsylvania's voice must make a profound impres sion. Her voice struggles for utter ance and it cannot be stifled ! Penn sylvania can only speak in the returns of the election on November 4, and then the verdict of her people will be recorded—whether the rebel-Demo crats will it or not, and while they clamor for silence on National issues, forced on by crimes at which human nature stands aghast, the whole coun try anxiously awaits to hear from us because these returns will signify our position on National issues, and on these alone. MAINE, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, IOWA AND OHIO, have spoken nobly ! It remains for us, MEN OF PENNSYL VANIA, to give forth no uncertain sound on this momentous issue. It is the duty of every Republican and loyal Democrat in our State to so vote that the settlement of the war shall stand; that liberty for all shall be enforced ; that fraud shall no longer subvert the States; that the purchase of the Presidency shall never succeed ; and that assassination shall be forever banished from amongst us as a political agency. And every man who sus tained the Union against the Rebel lion is earnestly urged to step forward NOW to again defend the Union from the same foe that assailed it from Fort Sumter to Appomattox. F. C. HOOTON, Chairman Republican State Com. SAMUEL F. BAHR,) SECRETARIEB . C. L. MAOEE, ) Philadelphia, October 15, 1879. Our Fame Abroad. PORTLAND, Oregon, Oct. 17.—Eight thousand persons assembled at the Cascades to meet Gen. Grant. Ex- Senator Corbett and Judge Strong made addresses of welcome to which Gen. Grant replied at some length, referring to his early residence on the Pacific coast, and saying in conclusion : "In your remarks you have alluded to the struggles of the past. I am glad that they are at an end. It never was a pleasure to me that they had a beginning. The result has left us a nation to be proud of—strong at homo aud respected abroad. Our reputation has extended beyond the civilized nations. It has penetrated even the less civilized parts of the earth. In my travels I have noticed that foreign nations appear to respect us more than we respect ourselves. I have noticed the grandeur at which we have been estimated by other powers, and their judgment should give us a higher estimate of our greatness. They rec ognize that poverty, as they understand it, is not known with us, and the man of comparative affluence with them is sometimes no better clad or fed than our pauper. Nowhere are there better elements of success than on the Pacific coast. Here those who fought on oppo site sides during the war are now fully associated together in a country of which they all have the same right to be proud. I thank the people again through you, Judgo Strong, for this reception," EHQ. DONAOIIY, our amiable Dep uty Sheriff, last week received, by express, from Home unknown friend* ft present of a night owl. It was nicely boxed up and is large (the eyes). This bird being the emblem of wisdom, was doubtless supposed to be needed about the Court House. It is in strong con traat with the English sparrow that is making gueh a ftiMH about the Court Hons** just now. \ Tommy appreciates it as "the Hilent man thai L doe* not talk too much. [Com mrmicated.] Obituary. Died, on or about September Btb, 1879, after a lingering illness of some six months duration, caused by the de sertion of friends and neighbors, want of the actual necessaries of life, and general carelessness and inattention, the Presbyterian Sabbath Sehool of Pleasant Valley Church, situated in Cherry township, Butler count}*, Pa. The above deceased rests in the fond hope, that when the dasies are through blooming in the spring, and the cow slips sends forth their golden contribu tion to the summer flowers, a resurrec tion may reasonably be looked for, and the dead once more resume a name and a place among the living, acting, moving, real things that be, aiul yet that hardly be, for to be is to exist, while in the case spoken of above an existence can hardly be claimed, and vet—they have a name amongst the living. May the body rest in peace until called forth by the renewed activity of those to whom deceased's existence should be dear, ami when the resurrec tion morn arrives, may the dead re turned to life be met with joy and gladness, and many mental resolves that another death by starvation and neglect shall not occur in our midst so long as the means is to us vouch safed for preservation from death and decay. SCHWARTZ. Parker, Pa., Oct. '79. THAT the fools are not all dead yet was proven the other day by Mr. John Walker, of Armstrong county. Being desirous of making money in an easy manner, he provided himself with SIOO and went to Pittsburgh where, he was told by a friend, he would give him in exchange for it SI,OOO in well executed counterfeit. He met the man at a hotel, went to a room, gave him the SIOO and received a satchel which the man said contained the SI,OOO. The stranger then said he must catch the next train to New York, disappeared, and when Walker opened the satchel he found it empty. No doubt lie will hereafter be satisfied to make money in the old fashioned way. —Petrolia Record. Dr. Lolloyne'a Ashes. WASHINGTON, Pa., Oct. 18.—The retort at the crematory cooled suffici ently to remove the ashes of the body of Dr. LeMoyne a day sooner than expected. They wore taken from the furnace on Friday evening. The mass was reduced from over two hundred pounds to seven pounds, and the ashes arc white as snow. The doctor's will will likely be filed this afternoon or on Monday. It has been provided by the doctor that the crematory shall re main standing, the trustees being Julius LeMoyne and V. Harding. Persons wishing cremation hereafter must apply to these gentlemen for ad mission to the furnace. Summing up the Result. CINCINNATI, Oct. 17.—Although three or four counties are still to hear from, the result of Ohio may be sum med up as follows: Foster's majority, 18,000; Legislature, Republican— Senate by a majority of 7, and the House by 24, making a majority of 31 for the Republicans on joint ballot. Mounts, in Butler and Warren, has a majority of 12. The above is as near the exact result as will be arrived at till the official figures are reached, which will not be before several days.

We know very well that it is a fearful disease and will eat away until it destroys life, that is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to when it first rnukos its appearance, or soon after, there is no trouble in eradicating it from the system. Persons will have to be hero during part of the treatment, consequently there is no use writing to me for information whether it can be cured without my seeing the case.
