JAMES G. Bunr*. Republican State Nominations. FOE JUDGE BUPREME COURT, Hon. Henry Green, OF SOUTHAMPTON COCNTY. FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, Hon. John A. Lemon, or BLAIB COCXTY. Committee Meeting. The members of the Republican Executive Committee arc requested to meet in the Arbi tration Room, in the borough of Butler, on BATMDAY, THE 24TH INST., at 1 o'clock p. 11., for the purpose of 6xing the time for hold ing the primary election, and of attending to such other bminesa M mav properly come be fore it. THOMXB ROBINSON, A. L. CRAIG, »Chairman. WM. C. NKOLKT, > - By the above tbe members of the present County Committee will see that they are called to come together again on next Saturday week, 24th inst. We hope that every member of tbe Committee will be present. The time for tbe Primary election this year has to be fixed and tbe candidates and all Republicans are interested in know ing when it will be. Other matters of mnch importance to tbe party in this county may come before the Com mittee. We are entering upon another Presidential election and one that may test the strength of oar institutions. Tbe success of tbe Republican party is a necessity. How important then that tbe will of its people be respected. In no other way can we hope for suc cess. Let there be a full County Committee meeting therefore on the 24th to consider tbe situation. EVKKT day makes it more plain that Mr. Blaine is the popular favorite. THE County Commissioners are kept busy jast now in hearing appeals from the tax assessments of this year. THE feeling that the sentiment of the people should determine tbe presi dential choice is steadily growing. m* m ■»" THE time for the Republican pri maries will be fixed at tbe Committee meeting on tbe 24th of this month. A PROPOSITION is before Congress providing for a commission of engi neers to inquire into the feasibility of a ship canal to connect Lake Erie with either the Ohio or the Waliash River. THE Democratic members of the Exodus Committee have become so disgusted with the result of the inquiry that they have resolved to wind it up as soon as possible and let the matter drop. Probably no report will be made on the subject. WE are under obligations to Rev. Robert A. Edwards, of Phila delphia, for a pamphlet copy of bis eloquent sermon, delivered Feb. 22, 1880, to the first Regiment Infan try National Guard of Pebitsyfrania and veteran Corps, First Regiment, as their Chaplain. ALL appearances indicate, to the Delaware County Gazette , that "the name of the distinguished ex-President, General Grant, will shortly be with drawn, and that all factions will con centrate on Blaine as the only man who can poll tbe entire vote of the great Republican party." CONTESTS in the National Republi can Convention promise to be as thick as leaves in Vallambrosia. Even Utah sends a contesting delegation, but in the end there is no doubt that justice wdl be done and that tbe people, as they will be represented by their dele gates, will triumph. THE Easton Free Press thinks that "with everyday the prospects of Blaine and the Republican party brighten, be cause, with Blaine as our standard bearer, defeat for the party is out of the question. His candidacy will, on tbe other hand, insure what may be termed an electrical canvass which will end in a brilliant and decisive victory, giving the Republicans the next Presi dent and a majority in the lower House of the next Congress sure." Wheat Crop Promising. We have inquired of our farmers from all parts of this county, and the very general reply is that the wheat in tbe ground never looked better than it does this year. It is green and looks bealthv, having none of that sickly, yellowish appearance of last year and the year before, caused, it was supposed, by the fly, which it is said is not now infesting the wheat very much We therefore have reason to hope for a good crop of wheat this harvest. The only trouble is that there is not enough wheat sown in this county, and much that is is put in poor ground. The consequence is that our millers have been buying and bringing into the county wheat from abroad. Tbia should not be. This county should raise wheat to sell •broad, and npt to boy. Let our farm ers, around Butler particularly, take a Aw start in raising wheat, and we will always have something then to bring money here. ' REPUBLICAN County Committee jptftiAf . McJuukin, Esq., of Butler, is prominently spoken of as a Republican nominee for Con gress in Butler county. He is a safe man. His good judgment, candor, ability and experience well qualify him for the position, and his old constitu ents in Venango would be gratified to learn of his nomination and election, believing that both he and the people of his district would be honored there by " We find the above in the enango Citizen of last week, the oldest Re publican paper in Venango county. Mr. McJunkin resided in that county some years ago, and while there was chosen by the Republicans to serve them in the Legislature for three suc cessive years. The above compliment therefore paid him comes from a peo ple who know him and who learned to appreciate his merits both as a repre sentative and as an honest man. We notice in several other of our ex changes favorable mention made of his candidacy for Congress in this dis trict. The Republicans of Connecticut held their State Convention last Wednes day. According to a custom which dates back nearly to the time of the Saybrook Platform, every city, town and hamlet sent representatives, thus bringing into full play the great diver sity of opinion in the party in regard to Presidential candidates. The best information from all sources shows that of the twelve delegates to Chi cago five prefer Blaine, four are for Edmunds, and three for Wasburne. It is possible that Grant is the second choice of one, while in some remote contingency Sherman might get one. But, according to the best estimate of the intelligent correspondent of the New York Times, whose leanings to ward Grant are plainly perceptible, the following is a correct statement: Blaine 5 Grant 0 E0 on its face applies to costs on bills of indict ment ; it is part of an act directing the procedure in courts of Oyer and Termi ner, and Quarter Sessions, and said act is silent as to convictions and costs before Justices. The clause relied on as making tbe county reliable for this and like cases is taken from tbe act of 1841, which was limited to tbe courts therein named. Nothing in tbe report of the Code Commissioners indicated a purpose to extend tbe liability of the county to convictions before Justices, and we see no reason for taking a clause out of a sentence, which consti tutes this section, and giviug it a con- j ft woyfl yet » Jte projx* J place. The detached clause may be separated without destroying its sense, but it must be interpreted as in its true relation. It may lie within the in- . tendment of the consolidated statute to . continue tbe liability which was im- j posed by the act of 1791, but rnani festly there was no intention to include cases of conviction before Justices, punishable only by imprisonment. County Commissioners have no power to discharge a prisoner or remit fines, forfeitures, and costs. If courts have sanctioned their acts in paying costs out of county funds, where a par ty was committed solely in default of payment of costs, that does not author ize their interference where there has been a conviction and sentence for a criminal offense. A Judge considers the pecuniary ability of the party when he imposes the fine and often makes the period of imprisonment shorter l>e cause of the probability that the con vict will remain, after its expiration, the prescribed time before he can be discharged under the insolvent laws. Schwaumble vs. the Sheriff. 10 Harris 18 ; Berks Co. vs. Pile, 0 Harris 493 Stebbins was not discharged accordiug to law, and tbe plaintiff' could not re cover eveu if tbe county were liable in such a case, after a lawful discharge without payment of costs. Judgment reversed and now on the case stated judgment for defendant be low. Human Sacrifices. LONDON, April 11.—A Burmah cor respondent says Maudaley astrologers maintain that, in order to remove evil influences, great propitiatory sacrifice is requisite. Victims will be taken from all ranks to the number of 400. Tbe priests contribute 100, the remain der men, women aud children Many arrests have been made to secure a sufficient number for victims to be selected from. The priests, who have hitherto enjoyed immunity from sac rifice, are quitting Mandaley in great numbers. Tbe Catholic Convent was entered to procure victims from among the girls there, but the attempt was frustrated. The internal condition of the country is most unsatisfactory. The people" while seeing the folly of King Theebaw's acts, are helpless to effect a change. A dispatch from Rangoon reports that 700 men, women, boys, girls, priests and foreigners have been burned alive under the towers of the city walls, as a sacrifice fo-the restora tion of the King's health. The panic in Mandaley is frightful, and hundreds of people are leaving tbe city. The King's illness is said to be leprosy. CONGRESS, which has been unusu ally dull and stupid during the last three or four months, is beginning to arouse itself from its lethargy and to become alive to the obligations it owes the country. A few days ago one hon orable member attempted to fasten the charge of bribery and corruption upon an equal honorable and illustrious col league, and last Wednesday a distin guished statesman from the great Northwest, with the vigor born of tbe prairies, repeatedly denounced a meek aud modest member from the East as a "liar." Considering that the spring has just opened aud that we have not had more than a mere suggestion of warm weather, this is an exceedingly promising beginning. By the middle of June, when the heat of the sun and the caloric of the political campaign shall have fairly set in, lively times may be expected in the House of Rep resentatives.—Ex. AT Fond du Lac, in the State of Wisconsin, last Wednesday, Sing Yan naturalized American citizen, cast his first vote. Some timid persons look on this bequeued, smiling Sing Yan, as he glides up to tbe polls, with dislike, fearing lest he may presently multiply a thousand and a million fold, get the balance of power, crowd out the native politicians as be has crowded out the San Francisco washerwomen, get up Presidential booms for this or that favorite mandarin, introduce the study of Confucius into the public schools, and play the mischief with our insti tutions generally. Meanwhile Sing Yan drops his ballot into tbe box, as should all Chinamen who reside in this country. IT may be of interest to men who have been appointed census enumera tors to know that the lists are subject to approval or rejection by Superin tendent Walker. To secure favorable action the names selected must be ac companied to Washington by the rec ommendation of several citizens of the district to the effect that the nom inees are men of intelligence, honest, and of good standing in the commu nity in which they live.— Erie Dis patch.

Anybody But Grant. WASHINGTON, April 11. — Hon. Wil liam Heilmun, of Indiana, whose na'me is prominently mentioned in connec tion with the Republican nomination for Governor of that State, declares that the Republicans can carry Indiana next fall by 20,000 majority with any candidate except Grant. He feels con vinced that the Republican Germans of Indiana will not support Grant. Mrs. Partington Says : "Don't take any of the quack ros trums, as they are regimental to the | human cistern ; but put your trust in Hop Bitters, which will cure general dilapidation, costive habits and all comic diseases.

About this time a year ago we re ceived a similar letter from the above much respected and venerable friend, and take this way of letting him know his favor came duly to hand. Letter from Kansas. BROOKVILLE, Saline Co., Kansas,) March 20, 1880. » Editors Citizen —ln answer to tbe many inquiries relative to the society, the climate, wheat growing and stock raising, and the advantages afforded for making money in the State of Kansas, a few facts might be fitting, not only to tbe general reader, but to J those more directly interested. The attention of the entire East for the two years past has been directed to the West—Kansas and Colorado. Notwithstanding the bulk of society is formed of the best men and women of the East, well educated and refined, whom better days have dawned upon, full of energy and enterprise, bright with hope, endeavoring to rise to their former station in life or enhance their present comforts by more and valuable acquisitions, yet there are some among us who are a blight to any community. Men from the ranks of every profes sion, whose early training has received its finishing touch at some well-recog uized college or university, here cast aside their professional airs and exper iment on the nobility and dignity of manual labor. This class of men are ! getting rich, some by raising stock and others by wheat growing. From the Missouri river west we have a gradual rise until it reaches several thousand feet above tidewater. These plains were formerly known as the Wide Sandy Deserts. Our lands consist of three distinct classes : Beautiful valleys, from one to ten miles wide, alongside the beautiful crystal streams, belted with fine tim ber, such as walnut, oak, cottonwood and alum, sufficient for fuel for many years. These valley lands are a black muck sail, varying from oue foot to two feet in depth, and very fertile. Then we have table lauds, that rise from ten to thirty feet higher, void of timber, and a sandy black muck soil, given to drouth more than our valleys, but first-class wheat lands. These lands are covered with buffalo grass anil prairie blue grass. Last, but not least, are our bluff lands, rising to the height of four or five hundred feet, broken and undu lated with fine little streams of water running down almost from the sum mits. Every description of rock can be found on our bluffs in great abund ance, including fine magnesia, lime, sandstone, stone coal and iron ore. These lands afford good pasture for cattle and horses at all seasons. The air is light and pure. Our springs are early and winters short, and mud is almost unknown in in any portiou of Kansas Summer is not oppressive with beat, nor are our winters very cold. This winter we had three cold days before Christmas, and about one week of cold weather in this month.. In conclusion, I would say to my many correspondents not to come to Kansas as many do, anticipating a fortune to be picked up at once by get ting these Government lands for almost nothing, and sailing through this world on a bed of ease. First, you must have money enough to keep yourself and family for at least one year, and enough to buy a team. Farming is done here almost entirely by machin ery. We cut our cereals with the headers and self-binders, sow with the drills, and plow with gang plows, so that hired labor is almost dispensed with altogether. Our buildings are put up generally of rough, undressed rock, so that a man cannot depend on his labor only by improving a home for himself. Our winter is now over, the weather fine, the grass is commencing to look green, prairie clover is in full bloom, the wheat crop is very promising, with a very lage acreage sown. Emigration has commenced pouring in, the white w agon sheets cau be seen daily jour neying westward, aud every train of passenger coaches is packed full. Still there is room for thousands more. Yours, etc., R. A. IIAZLETT. Conoord Townehip. Editors Citizen —Allow me through the columns of your pa|>er to inform its readers of the pleasant closing ex ercise of winter term of school No. 3 Concord township, taught by Miss Kate Hilliard. School opened at 9a. m., the forenoon exercise consisted of the regular recitations of the school, all of which gave evidence that the labors of the teacher had been highly appreciated by her pupils. Then fol lowed addresses by Emery, Campbell and Russell, after which according to previous arrangements all present par took of a bountiful repast prepared by the young ladies of the school, which was neither last nor least among the many enjoyable exercises of the day. Dinner being over, order was called bv the teacher. The audience was then entertained by recitations, declamations, itc., from tbe school, in a manner calculated to impre.-s upon all present, tin; interest and zeal of teacher and scholars, dur ing the past live months. Remarks from Mr. Fithiau and others. A beautiful cake was then presented to the teacher by her pupils, as a token of gratitude for tbe love she had shown them ami tbe interest she had taken iu their improvements. Tbe following resolutions were passed : Resolved, That we, tbe parents, re turn our sincere thanks to Miss Kate Hilliard, for the interest she has man ifested in the welfare of our children during the past winter. Resolved , That the proceedings of this meeting be sent to the county papers for publication. Closed by singing "Shall we Gather at the River." March 30th. W. G. R.
