O'CONOR Charles O'Conor, a man that the Democratic party has always looked up to and denominated one of their greatest men, has written a remarka ble letter, in which he promulgates some very undemocratic doctrine and makes the Democrats acquainted with some verv bitter truths in regard to tbeir prospects in the eorainjr cam paign. The letter was written in ans wer to an invitation to !«• present at a banquet of the County. New Jersey, Democratic Club, 011 the Sth of Januarv. He says : ' You assume that my views coin cide with your own and that your cel ebration mav be an initial or early step in a political campaign, just at hand, evidently hoping for an issue favorable to the Democratic party, aud through it? agency you anticipate 'our return to a safe and sound policy in the administration of Federal affairs. "Plainly you refer to the next Pres idential election, but quite contrary to vour anticipations I am constrained to regard it as absolutely impossible that anv one called a Democrat should prevail in this conflict. '•This is easily proven. It is and has long been conceded on all hands that to such a result the votes of New York would be indispensable. To thif conclusion every partv, every journal, and, I believe, every individual in the land will assent, and yet the thirty five votes of this great State have been delivered into the hands of the Republican party and are now held by it as a secure possession." Sjienkinsr of the Maine fraud he makes this comment: "The Democrats have attempted to seize the vote of Maine by means most reprehensible. Whether this originated in an unjust and grasping selfishness on the part of Democrats, or, as has been suggested, was craftily instigated by some Republican device, is quite immaterial. The thin? has l>een done, and the pretext for Repub licans to act likewise has been af forded. It will enable them to com pensate themselves amply by reprisals should success attend the Maine enter prise. I am far from thinking that any help of this sort was necessary; the New York vote will be seized without it But the pretext promoted con venience and it has been furnished. "Beginning with this dead weight in the opposite scale no idler imarrina tion could be displayed by the I lerao crats than treating success in the Pres idential election as possible. 1 hey can do nothing for themselves, though if prepared for such small practice, they mav foment discord in the ho.-tile camp." He comes out strongly for centrali zation, and savs: "The separate State government should l»e abolished. This seems now to lie a Republican idea, but certainly no sound thinker among the leaders of that party will ever promote its adop tion. The dimensions and civil war in which their party was horn, nur tured and matnred, grew out of the State organizations. Without them its bloody-shirt sectional cries must cease to animate and their party perish. The benign tendency of the separate State system to embroil the country in civil war was well explained in the Feder alist, yo. 28." He said in bis letter many other very radical things, but what we have given will suffice to show that he has lost faith in Democratic success, purity and wisdom. As "STRONG" AS THK LAW —No STRONGER. —One of the stock charges made by the Democrats is that the Republicans have attempted to rule the country by military force, and to substitute it for the orderly adminis tration of law. Tbe charge was met and disproved in the extra session of Congress. If it could have been maintained the Democrats would have gained and the Republicans lost enormously. The Democrats received valuable aid in their campaign on that point from the overzealous Grant men who shout that we need ' a strong Government," and that we should demand a candi date who can seat himself bv the }>ower of the sword. These calls are imprudent and certain to react against tbe Republican party. The people of this country want a Government just as "strong" as the law, and the law is as strong for one Presidential candidate as for another. As soon as a candidate becomes "stronger" than the law, he is too strong for public safety. In saying this we impute no im proper design to General Grant per- Honally, but we intend to rebuke the ranters who forgot that the cry for a "strong" Government, as they make it, is for a Government above the law. The American people do not want that kind of a Government.— York Tribune. LITTLE STRAWS FROM THE LATE ELECTIONS. —Hon. 0. W. Gilfillan was lieaten for school director in Franklin, by eighty-eight majority, though the Vest of the Republican ticket was elected by good majorities; Mr. G. is charged with having l»een rather active in manipulating the Ve nango delegation at Harrisburg to suit the interests of Mr. Cameron, regard less of tbe wishes of his constituents, and the Franklin Republicans took this opportunity to express their opin ion of the same. The only member of the Philadelphia delegation to Harris burg who was a Grant man from per sonal choice ran as a candidate for select council in his ward, which gave 964 Republican majority last fall, and was defeated by 450 majority ; hi* at titude on the Presidential question is the only reason given for his defeat. Lancaster city which is Republican by several hundred majority, but which was conspicuously misrepresented in the State Convention, went a=t many hundred Democratic this time. Near er home, we understand it was only by persistent electioneering and the aid of Democratic votes, with tlie per sistent refusal of his opponent to In? considered a candidate, that prevented another Harrisburg man bearing Mr. Gilfillan company on the* school ques tion. Perhaps the people are stupid, but it must be admitted they fret in their work very effectively sometimes. Sharon (Mercer Co.) Herald.

The doings of the i-riuont Repub lican- vesterdav ousffit not to le over looked on'account of the larger space occupied by the proceedings of their New York brethren. Some excellent resolutions were passed at Montpelier —among them one commending >ena tor Edmunds as a suitable Presidential candidate. The high regard in which Mr. Edmunds is held by the people <">» hi- State is.fully deserved by hi? lone career in public life. lie is one ol tlx wisest and truest of tin- Republican leaders who have played for many years conspicuous part.- upon the broad stage of National politics. Prob ably be has no chance ol" being nomi nated at Chicago, but if the Conven tion chooses as able and patriotic a man, it will make no mistake. Indiana ha? followed the wise plan of electing her district delegates to Chicago in district conventions. All of these conventions were held yester day. Where instructions were given or resolutions expressing preference were passed, Blaine was named as the first choice, and WasLburne as the second. One district chose Sherman delegates. No Grunt delegates appear to have been chosen. The Grant boom seems to have died out in the West, if, indeed, it ever existed It may well l>e doubted in view of the action of these two States whether there is anv popular movement in favor of the third term in any part of the country. Such a movement might be looked for. if anywhere, in Ver mont, where machine politics are un known. and where the Republicans are of the most stalwart stripe, or in Indiana, whore many close fights have made the party exceedingly combative, and incline it to a candidate represent ingl a strong policy. In fact, the Grant armv, which was claimed a little while ago to comprise pretty much the whole Republican party, seems to consist of Senator Conkling and Sen - tor Cameron and their personal follow ings, with tin- possibility of recruiting a considerable loree in the South. THE Towanda Republican reports as follows : "Hon. Galusha A. Grow spent the latter part of last week and Monday and Tuesday of this in town as a guest of the Ward House. Many of his old friends, and they are legion in Bradford, called upon him and paid their respects. To all he expressed but one opinion relative to the attitude of Pennsylvania on the Presidential ques tion, namely, that the Republicans of the State are overwhelmingly favora ble to the nomination of James G Blaine, and that the popluar will should govern the action of Pennsyl vania's delegation at Chicago. That the district delegates are not bound either by the Grant instructions or the unit rule adopted by the State Conven tion. If the popular sentiment of the Republicans of Pennsylvania is re garded by the delegates at Chicago, he thinks the ultimate outcome must be a solid delegation from this State for Blaine. SENATOR EDMUNDS' DRY JOKE. — In executive session the other day Senator Edmuuds made a dig at Ohio which has been the occasion of much amusement. The Senator says his little joke may be open to criticism, but that it is founded on fact. A nomination for an unimportant office being considered, and Senator Ed munds objected to* the confirmation, saving the man had been a defaulter. Mr. Thurman, quickly springing to his feet, said, "Mr. President, I had not intended to say a single word upon this matter, but the Senator from Ver mont has thrown a brick at an Ohio man and I must resent it.'" Mr. Ed munds, with assumed seriousness, re torted, "You can't throw a brick in any direction those days without striking an Ohio man." —Highwaymen: elevated railway companies. —The hotel chambermaid thrives by her inn-dnstry. —Advice to persons thinking of di vorce : Never dis-pair. —A competing hotel out West says generously of an other that "it stands without arrival." —"What struck you most in Italy?" a newly-returned traveler is asked "The sun," says he. —"Aunty, vat makes do little baby cry so?

Chicago, St. Louis ar.'l Atlanta are doing a work in this community by circulating among our people one of the most r-uper'o edi tions we have overseen. The binding is elegant, tasteful and substantial. The press work is done in the best stvie, and the pai>er is of the finest quality. Ileitis 1 determined that their Bibles shall not be surpassed by any other edition in print, tl. publishers have added to it an abridgement ot Dr. W ii liam Smith's great Dictionary of the Bible. This is a complete book in itself, and would make an octavo volume of over six hundred pagea. Its reputation as th* 1 liest Bible Die tionarv is world-wide, and each sub scriljer to this Bible thus obtains it free. Another prominent feature is a His torv of All the Religious Denomina tions of the World. These account are clear and comprehensive, and are full of valuable information. The additional matter which ac companies- ihe books of the Bible cov er- a wide range of subjects and is ex ceedingly valuable. An accurate and detailed description of the Holy Land is given, followed by an interesting description of Jerusalem and its sa cred places The Life of the Saviour and the Lives of the Apostles are also given at considerable length, and in such a manner as to be of great service to every reader of the Bible. The Wanderings of the Israelites in the Wilderness are related, and the Taber nacle and Temple are described with great minuteness. Another feature to which we would call particular atten tion is a series of Scripture illustra tion.-. remarkable for its completeness. It embraces a series of comprehensive descriptions of the Manners and Cus toms of the Nations of the Ancient World, of Biblical Antiquities, Scen ery, Natural History, etc., etc. Then foilow a large number of chronological and other valuable tables designed to promote and facilitate the study of the Sacred Scriptures. These tables are so numerous that we have not space even to give their names. So full and complete is the additional matter of this magnificent edition of the Scrip tures, that the most careful studeut ot God's word, the most exacting seeker after truth will find all his wants sup plied in this single volume. The book is magnificently illus trated. It contains over 2,000 tiue engravings, many f which ait >y the great, artist, Gustavo Doro. These engravings are genuine works of art, and were made at a cost of over »30, 000. The great number ami high character of these engravings make this the most valuable art publication of the century. Between the Apocrypha and the New Testament is a beautifully litho graphed marriage certificate, which makes this Bible an especially appro priate wedding present. This is fol lowed by a handsome Family Record, consisting of four quarto pages, finely lithographed. At the end of the volume is a photograph album, with spaces for sixteen portrait-. These magnified Family Bibles are superior to all others that we have seen, in the following respects: They contain the largest and finest engravings. They have the richest and most durable bindings. They contain the fine.-t paper and the best printing. They are the cheapest and most complete, and they sell faster than any other Family Bibles. The National Publishing Company's Bibles weigh from one to three pounds more than any other Family Bibles published in the United States. This is proof positive that they are more so'id and substantial than any other Bibles. It proves that they are printed on heavier paper, and bound with heavier and more durable ma teria'. They are published in German also. We cordially commend this Bible to our readers, arid hope it may find a place in every family. It is one of the best Family Bibles ever published, and no home should be without it. The price is astonishingly low, and within the reach of all. It is sold by subscription only, and Mr. David \\ il helm, of Jefferson township, who is the authorized agent for this section, is now canvassing for it. (■rant'H Tour Around (lie World. Mr. Wilhelm is also agent for the National Publishing Co.'s edition of General Grant's Tour Around the World, written by the celebrated writer, James MeCabe.

A Moxii managing politicians gifted with ordinary wisdom, the feeling ev erywhere developed against the propo sition of a third term would place an effectual brake upon the wheels of the Grant movement. It was a logical con clusion that the Marrisburg Conven tion put an end to the third term scheme, but it is becoming evident that the supporters of this scheme have not abandoned it. Though it was long ago announced that Gen. Grunt—and it was said that the announcement was made by authority of Gen. (Jrant himself— would not be a candidate if it should become evident that he could not be nominated without a contest, tli<- im pression is growing that he will be a candidate in any circumstances, and that an effort will be made to nominate him in spite of the universal anti-third teriu sentiment, even though it becomes necessary to employ tactics similar to those which were barely successful at Harrisburg. Vet it is not impossible that Gen. (iraut will himself put a quietus on the schemes of these politicians, and thus give evidence that he is still in posessiou of that sagacity upon which his great reputation as a military chief tain is based. The general has, proba bly,-uot yet heard the complete details of the Harrisburg Convention. — Press, j —To the sluggard every year is bhtp yVkr LIYKKV.
