"THE nomination is an exceedingly
fortunate one " — Senator Windom.
Ta general expression is that "the

OUE Democratic friends are disap

WE shall bear no more of a third

that question forever.
GEE. GAEFIELD is a Christian, a

GAEVIEU) went to Chicago to nom
inate s msn for President, and got
nominated himself. That is better
than going for wool and coming back
ebon.
' THE Greenbackers, in National Con
vention last week, nominated General
James B. Weaver, of lowa, for Presi
dent, and E. J. Chambers, of Texas,
for Vice President.
OEE of the features in the coining
Fair to be held in Butler in September

fore leaving tbe grounds.
THE Court is disposing of cases in
tbe Quarter Sessions this week with
great rapidity. Judge McJunkin is pre
siding and Associates Storey and
Dodds present. Full proceedings next
week.
GEM. GAEFIELD has been a member
of Congress for near twenty years and
yetia comparatively poor, which of it
self is a sufficient answer to two of the
three charges already made against
him by tbe Democrats.
GAEHELD was everybody's second
choice. He wasn't the first choice sim
ply because be was not, formally, a
candidate. Everybody, of all parties,
mast acknowledge bis ability and con
sistency as a public man.
THE Mercer County Republicans
meet on next Tuesday to nominate
their county ticket. The nominations
are made under tbe old delegate sys
tem, and tbe present County Conven
tion will contain Iff I delegates.
Ms. GORDON, of Mercer, the other
delegate from this district to the Chi
cago Convention, ontered tbe Grant
ship just in time to go down with it,
bsvisg voted (or Grant on tbe last bal
lot, that nominated Garfield.
GAnnELD'S nomination was a spon
taneous and unsought for outburst of
popular confidence in him as the man
to heal all dissensions and solidify the
party for tbe great fight. His own
party, from tbe Atlantic to tbe Pacific,
and from tbe lskes to tbe gulf recogniz
ed bis brains, bis ststesmanship, bis
fidelity and his integrity; and bin ene
mies cannot deny that he possesses
these qualities to an eminent degree.
SOME persons are said to take off
a fine moss that decorates a grave in
one of our Cemeteries and apply it to
the graves of their friends. This is af
fection for the dead at other peoples
expense.
WE don't believe there is in public
life to-day, in this or any other coun
try, an abler, more consistent, more up
right man than James A. Garfield. He
is in every sense a true representative
of this free and enlightened Republic.
THE Prohibitionists of the United
States will meet in National Conven
tion at Cleveland, Ohio, to-morrow,
17th, inst., to nominate a ticket for
President and Vice President. Ihe
Democrats come next, at Cincinnati
next week, where it is feared cold wa
ter will be at a discount.
ON the 14th of January last, Presi
dent Hinsdale, of Hiram College, said
to his students, referring to Gen. Jas.
A. Garfield: "To-day a man will be
elected to the United States Senate, at
Columbus, who, when a boy, was once
the bell-ringer in this school and after
ward its President." And he might
have added, "and after that, President
of the United States."
THE dead-lock at Chicago could not
possibly have terminated more happily
for the Republican party than it did in
the nomination of Gen. Garfield, a man
on whom all factions and phases of
opinion in the party can unite, and on
whom all such have already united.
Even the Democrats are compelled to
acknowledge his ability, unprecedented
popularity and high character as a man
who has risen from the most humble
sphere in life by his own industry and
integrity. ,
THE Butler Eagle, edited by T hom
, as Robinson, the defeated nominee for
Congress, and published by his son,
E. D. Robinson, ha 3 placed at its mast
head the names of all the successful
nominees of the late Republican pri
maries save that of Hon. J. D. McJun
kin. Why Mr. McJunkin's name is
left off, is manifest. Both father and
son feel very sore over the defeat of
the former, and resort to such petty
meanness for revenge. Yet they hoist
the names of the rest of the ticket, who
were elected by the same votes Mr.
McJunkin was. "Consistency, thou
art a jewel." Blood in this case is
thicker than water and a great deal
stronger than fidelity to the party.—Pe
trolia Record, 12th inst.
FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
The CITIZEN will be sent to single
subscribers from now to the first of
January next for 75 cents ; in clubs of
four or more, to one postoffice, for fifty
cents each. All the important events
and matter of what promises to be a
very exciting Presidential election will
be given the readers of the CITIZEN.
Now is the time to commence taking a
campaign paper. Friends who interest
themselves in extending our circulation
will be thanked and remembered.
All Looking Fine.
Never before have we seen the for
est trees dressed in a richer verdure
than at present, nor the fields present
ing promise of a greater harvest. 'I he
wheat fields of Butler county bok
tetter than for many years past and a
good crop is most promising. The
same may be stated of the rye, corn,
oats, potatoes, apples, peaches, grapes,
small berries, etc. The late rains have
revived and restored the meadows and
the grass crop, that was generally
feared would lie light, will now Is;
heavy. In a word, a finer prospect
for everything has not been seen in
this county for years.
DEMOCRATS AT CINCINNATI.
This day a week, Wednesday, 23rd
inst., the Democrats will meet at Cin
cinnati to nominate their candidates
for the coming Presidential race. Who
they will bo seems uncertain. Tilden
all along, it was thought, would again
receive the nomination for the Presi
dency, but the overthrow of Grant by
the the Republican National Conven
tion will, we incline to think, affect
his chances. They will now naturally
look around for their best "dark horse"
as the Republicans did. Ilnd Grant
been nominated no doubt Tilden would
have been. But Garfield's nomination
has frightened them, arid they will hes
itate before taking Tilden now.
READ HIS LIFE.
An interesting sketch of the life and
wonderful success of James A. Gar
field will be found upon the first page
of the CITIZEN. It reeds like a romance;
but is another illustration of the wis
dom and beneficence of our Republican
form of Government, the highest hon
ors of which are open and free to the
humblest. The great secret, however,
of Gen. Garfield's success in public life
is due to his own toil and study. He
has been a great student, and from his
own efforts is a man of the most scholar
like attainments. It is said that when
leaving the Capitol or returning thereto
book* were almost always seen in his
hands or on his arms. Of how few
public men can this be said. He was
always well posted on all questions, a
ready debator, fine and able speaker,
and finally a leader in Congress. Like
Lincoln, he owes all to his own indus
try, is a man "of the people, by the
people, and for the people." The Chi
cago Convention, in looking all around
found him as the least objectionable
"dark horse," as the term went, or man
to compromise and heal all differences,
as in the easo of Lincoln iri 1880. It
was a fortunate selection and there can
be but little doubt that he will be elec-
Ited next President of these United
States.

JAMES A. GAKIIII .O.
After the nomination was announced
Mr. Blaine rode to the Capitol in a
carriage with (Jeneral Kherman. lie
remained in the Senate some three
hours, taking active part in the running
debates of the afternoon.
THE PLATFORM AL>OPTKI>.
A long discussion took place on the
platform, which was iinally adopted as
given below.
The Republican party in National
Convention assembled, at the end of
twenty years since the Federal (gov
ernment was first committed to its
charge, submits to the people of the
United Stales this brief report of its
administration. It has suppressed a re
bellion which had armed nearly a mil
lion of men to subvert the National au
thority. It has reconstructed the union
of the States with freedom instead of
slavery as Its corner stone. It Ims
transformed four million human be
ings from the likeness of things to the
rank of citizens. It has relieved Con
gress from the infamous work of hunt
ing fugitive slaves, and charged it to
set; that slavery dou« not exist. It has
raised the value of our paper currency
from thirty- :ight per cent, to the par of
gold. It has restored upon a solid ba
sis the payment in coin for all the Na
tional obligations, and has given us u
currency absolutely good and legal and
equal in every part of our extended
country. It has lifted the credit of the
Nation from the point where six per
cent, bonds sold at K<>, to that where
four per cent, bonds are eagerly
sought for at a premium.
Under its administration, railways
have increased from thirty-one thous
and miles in 1800 to more than eighty
two thousand miles in lK7!t. Our for
eign trade has increased from seven
hundred millions to eleven hundred
and fifty millions in the same time,
and our exports, which were twenty
millions less than our imports in ISGO,
were two hundred and sixty-four mil
lions more than our imports in
Without resorting to loans, it has
since the war closed, defrayed the or
dinary expenses of the Government be
sides the accruing interest on the pub
lic debt and disbursed annually more
than thirtv millions for soldiers' pen
sions. It has paid $888,000,000 of the
public debt, and by refunding the bal
ance at lower rates has reduced the
anual interest charge from nearly
$151,000,000 to less than $■>!»,000,000.
All the industries of tbe country
have increased, and throughout the en
tire country there, is evidence of a
coming prosperity greater than we
have ever enjoyed.
Upon this record, the Republican
party asks for the continued confidence
and support of the people, and this
Convention submits for their approval
the following statement of the princi
ples and purposes which will continue
to guide and inspire its efforts :
Ist—We affirm that the work of the
last twenty-one years has been such as
to commend itself to the favor of the
nation, and that the fruits of the costly
victories which we have achieved
through immense difficulties should be
preserved; that the peace regained
should be cherished ; that the dissevered
Union now happily restored should be
perpetuated, and that the liberties se
cured to this generation should be
transmitted undiminished to future
generations ; that tbe order established
and the credit acquired should never
be impaired ; that pensions promised
should be paid ; that the debt so much
reduced should be extinguished by the
full payment of every dollar thereof;
that tbe reviving industries should be
further promoted ; that the commerce
already so great should be steadily en
couraged.
2nd—The Constitution of the
United States is a supreme law, and
not a mere contract. Out of the con
federated States, it made a sovereign
Nation. Some powers are denied to the
States, but the boundary between the
powers delegated and those reserved
is to be determined by the National
and not the State tribunals.
3rd—The work of popular educa
tion is one left to the care of the sev
eral States, but it is the duty of tbe
National Government to aid that work
to the extent of its Constitution d abil
ity. The intelligence of the Nation is
but the aggregate of the intelligence in
the several States, and the destiny of
the Nation must Ijc guided, not by the
genius of any one State, but by tbe av
erage genius of all.
4th—The Constitution wisely for
bids Congress to make any laws res
pecting an establishment of religcon,
but it is idie to hope that tbe nation
cau be protected against the influences
of sectarianism while each State is ex
posed to its domination. We, there
fore, recommend that the Constitution
be so amended as to lay the same pro
hibition upon the legislation of each
State, and to forbid the appropriation
of public funds to tbe support of secta
rian schools.
sth—We reaffirm tbe belief avowed
iii JB7<;, that the duties levied for the
purpose of revenue should so discrimi
nate as to favor American labor: that
no further grant of the public domain
should be made to any railway or
other corporation; tbat slavery hav
ing perished in the States, its twin
barbarity polygamy, must die in the
Territories; that everywhere the pro
tection accorded to a citizen of Ameri.
can birth must be secured to citizens
by American adoption; tbat wo es
teem it the duty of Congress to devel
op and improve water courses and
harbors, but insist that further sub
sidies to private persons or corpora
tions must cease ; that the obligations
of the Republic to men who tire
served its integrity in the day of bat
tle are undiminished by the lapse of
fifteen years since this final victory.
Their perpetual honor is and shall for
ever IH; the grateful privilege and sa
cred duty of the American people.
<;th—Since the authority to regu
late immigration and intercourse be
tween the United States and foreign
nations rests with the Congress of the
United States and its treaty-making
powers, tbe Republican party, regard
ing the unrestricted immigration of
Chinese as an evil of great magnitude,
invokes tbe exercise of that power to
restrain and limit that immigration by
the enactment of such just, human and
reasonable provisions as will produce
tbat result.
7tli—That the purity and patriot
ism which characterizes the earlier ca
reer of Rutheford H. Mayes in peace
and in war, and which guided the
thought of our immediate predecessor
to him for a Presidential candidate
have continued to inspire him in bis
careti as chief executive, and that his
tory will accord to bis administration
the honors which are due to an efficient,
just and courageous fulfilment of the
public business, and will honor its in
terpositions between the people and
the proposed partisan laws.
We charge upon the Democratic
party the habitual sacrifice of patriot*
ism and justice to a supreme, insatia
ble lust of office and patronage ; and
to obtain the possession of National
and State governments and the con
trol of place and position, they have
obstructed all efforts to promote the
purity and to conserve the freedom of
suffrage ; have devised fraudulent cer
tifications and returns; have labored
to unseat elected members of Congress,
to secure at all hazards the vote of a
majority of States ill the House of
Representatives; have endeavored to
occupy by force and fraud the places
of trust given to others by the people
of Maine and rescued by the courage in
the action of Maine's patriotic sons ;
have, hy methods vicious in principle
and tyranical practice, attached par
tisan legislation to appropriation Li 11 si
upon whose passage the very move
ment of the government depends*
have crushed the rights of the individ
ual, have vindicated the principles
and sought the favor of the rebellion
against tbe tuition, and have endeav
ored to obliterate the sacred memories
of the war and to overcome its inesti
mably good results, freedom and indi
vidual equality ; and we affirm to be
the duty and the purpose of the lle
publican party to use all legitimate
means to restore to all the States of
this I'nion the most perfect harmony
which may be practicable, and we sub
mit to tbe practical, sensible people of
the United States to say whether it
would not be dangerous to the dearest
interest of our country at the time to
surrender tbe administration of the
National Government to a party which
seeks to overthrow the existing policy
under which we are so prosperous, and
thus bring destruction and confusion
where there is now order, confidence
and hope.
The Republican party, adhering to a
principle affirmed by its last National
Convention of respect for the constitu
tioua) rule covering appointments,
adopts the declaration of President
llaycs, tbat the reform of the civil ser-
vice should lie thoroughly radical and
complete. [Applause.] To this end it
demands the co-operation of tbe legis
lative with the executive department
of the Government, and that Congress
shall so legislate tbat fitness, ascer
tained by proper practical tests, shall
admit to the public service. The tenure
of administrative officers, except those
through which the distinctive policy of
party in power is carried out, shall be
made permanent during good behav
ior, and tbat tbe power of removal for
cause, with due responsibility for the
good conduct of subordinates shall ac
company the power of appointment.
A Sound Horror.
Some time between half past eleven
and a quarter to twelve o'clock, of last
Friday night, the steamer Stonington,
of the Stonington line, while on her
wav to New York ran into the steamer
Narragansett, of the same line. A
dense fog prevailed. Both steamers
were loaded with passengers. The Nar
ragansett was struck amidships on the
starboard side and raked, it is said,
clear to the wheel house. A flood of
water poured in and swamped the
steamer. In less than five minutes she
sank to the main deck and grounded.
Shortly after tire broke out, from tbe
explosion of the gas tank, it is believed,
ami iu a few moments wrapped the
whole boat in flames. Terrible and
heartrending scenes occurred. Soon all
who could escape were straggling in
the water. The Stonington sent out
boats and rescued a number. The
steamer City of New York also assist
ed materially in saving life. Of 350 on
board, it is believed that 50 perished.
THE ESTRAY LAW.
We publish the following synopsis
of the law relating to strays, as a gen
eral answer to frequent inquiries for in
formation in reference to it:
Any person taking up a stray must
give notice to the township clerk, with
marks, within four days; neglect to do
so subjects him to a fine of $5. Neglect
to give notice to the owner, if known,
works a forfeiture of all damages, and
entitles the owner to the stray, with
out recompense to the party injured.
The township clerk for making entry
of strays shall receive for each bead of
horse kind, 50 cents; each head of cat
tle, 25 cents ; for every sheep, 6 cents,
to IH: paid by the person delivering
said notice. If the owner does not ap
pear within ten days after a stray
shall bo taken up, it must be adver
tised in one paper published in the
county ; if no paper is published in the
county, then by six handbills, written
or printed. If the owner does not ap
pear within sixty days after advertise
ment has been made, the person taking
up the stray can make application to a
Justice of the Peace for a warrant to a
constable to sell it. The constable
must give ten days' notice, iu three or
more public places in the township,
and after sale he must make return to
to the justice, who, after payment of
all reasonable charges, damages and
cost of keeping tbe stray, shall pay
over the surplus, if any, to the county
treasury. If tbe owner shall appear
within one year after sale, and prove
ownership, the said justice, or any
other in the county, shall certify the
same to the county treasurer, who shall
pay to the owner the whole amount of
the surplus. If the owner does not ap
pear within the year be is debarred
from all rights in the matter. In March
185H, the provisions of the stray law
were extended to mules.
Death of LUCIUB Oa^ood.
Lucius Osgood, the author of the
widely known Osgood's American
Readers, died on Monday morning, 7th
inst., at the residence of his father-in
law, Isaac Dickson, in New Castle.
The news of his dirath was a surprise
to everybody out side of th«' circle of
his nearest friends, for, although it was
known for some tiino that he was iu
feeble health, it was not generally un
derstood that his condition was critical.
Mr. Osgood was born in I'eaehain,
Vt., April 10, 1H1!(. His parents were
of the oldest Puritan families of New
Kngland, and his parental ancestors
being descended front one of the pil
grims who canto in the Mayflower. He
was essentially a self-made man, his
education, which he received at the
academy in his native town, being
achieved by his own exertions, his
widowed mother being unable to give
him aid. lie began teaching at tbe age
of sixteen, and for several years he
taught in the winter time and at
tended the academy during the sum
mer, paying his expenses out of tbe
earnings of the previous winter. How
thoroughly bo did bis work as a stu
dent may be inferred from tbe fact that
when be graduated, be carried olf tbe
lirst honors of his class. H« always
had a taste for elocution, in which art
h<: excelled, and it was this preference
no doubt tbat led to tit" publication of
his Readers, which have attained so
great popularity.
When about twenty-one years of
ago he came to New Castle, and for a
short time he taught elocution in the
academy at Normal Glenn. Subse
<|ix'tly lie removed to Pittsburgh, and
was the prinoipal of the Fourth Ward
public school of that oity for several
years. In IM.'II b< - began to prepare his
Headers for publication, and tlt«?y were
Issued from the prcs* a short time
afterwards. OI the excellence of these
books it is not neccessary to speak, as
they have been used for years in almost
every public school in Western Penn
sylvania, and have received the appro
bation of tl|c foremost educators in the
land. The publication of these books
was so remunerative, that about the
year JHIJO Mr. Osgood was encouraged
to undertake the work of founding a
publication bouse, of which be should
be the manager. Accordingly he asso
ciated himself with Mr. A. H lOnglish.
and a large building was erected on
Fourth Ave, Pittsbugh, and the firm
of A. II English A Co., iu a short
time became the largest school book
publishers west <»r the Allegheny
mountains.
In IHtiH the building in which the
business was carried on, together with
the valuable machinery it contained,
was destroyed l»y fire, entailing a loss
upon tbe owners of over $50,000.
They set to work again to rebuild soon
afterwards, Mr. Osgood drawing all tbe
plans and superintending the work oil
the building himself. A'fairs seemed
to move on prosperously until two or
three years ago, when financial re.
verses set in, and the accutnulaaion of
a busy life were swept away.—/>«»«-

According to one of our town at
torneys, an oil tank and a bouse are
two different things in law, one is a
bouse and the other an "erection." '
Mil)balii School IUMII: iite.
Eau Claire, June 10, 1880.
A very interesting and profitable
Sabbath School Institution was held
at Farmington, Pa., June 8 anil ft.
The exercises were good throughout.
The music wa- all that could be de
sired. As to the speaking, we never
heard it excelled at a similar gathering.
We had a very good attendance on
Tuesday, but on Wednesday we must
have had from 1,000 to 1,200. On
the second day we went into a grove
near town. The Grant and Maple
Furnace schools did themselves great
credit by coming out in handsome
style, and en mass.
The following topics were dis
cussed : "Who should be Sunday
school scholars?" "The practical
bearing of the S. S. on the interests
of social man ?" "The duty of the
Sunday school in the Temperance Re
form?" "What official relation, if
any, should the Pastor sustain to the
S. S?" "What qualifications are re
ally essential to success in Sunday
school teaching, and how secure
them?" "How enlist the masses in
Sunday school work ?" "Should the
Catechism be taught in the Sunday
school, if so to what extent?" "llow
conduct the opeuing and closing ex
ercises of the Sunday school?" "The
model Sunday school." "Can Sunday
schools be conducted successfully in
the rural districts through the winter
seasons?" "The faithful Sunday
school teachers reward." . "Sunday
school literature and music." "Why
is so much of our Sunday school teach
ing unprofitable ?" "Are we, as
Christions, under obligatians to attend
Sunday school?" "The Sunday
school and our country."
The following ministers were pres
ent, nearly all of whom participated
in the exercises of the Institute :
lievs. Thompson, McElree, Coulter,
Adams, Foster, Glenn, Crawford,
Clyde, Graham, Miller, Lusher, Mc-
Crearv, Robertson, Hovis, Gilfillan
and the writer. We had a children's
and youth's meeting on the 9th, at 2
P. M.
We think the Institute from first to
last a decided success.
REV. J. L. STBATTON.
—The toadies to be most recently
fooled by a bogus English lord are
those of Columbus, Ohio. He called
himself Lord Arundel, and he was
welcomed at once to fashionable homes
though he was plainly an uneducated
cockney. He was invited to the floor
of the Legislature, and the women
doted on him. After borrowing all
the money possible, he absconded.
—The Enterprise, Potter county,
says : "English, the notorious outlaw
of Elk, spent two nights last week on
a branch of the lower Sinnemahouing.
He was well armed, had plenty of
money and was not at all backward
in talking of the murder. Ho also
showed the scar on his leg where the
ball grazed when he was shot at as he
was escaping from the scene of the
murder. English stated that he had
slept out but a single night and said
he would never be taken alive.
