THAT wonderful pest, the army worm, has made its appearance in the eastern part of this State. It seems to be marching westward. Hope it may never invade this section. THE Prohibition National Conven tion met at Cleveland, Ohio, Thursday last and nominated Hon. NealDow, of Maine, for President, and Hon. A. H. Thompson, of Ohio, for Vice Presi dent. THE letter of Judge Black, which the Philadelphia Press first brought out, is going all over the country, and its man ly vindication of Gen. Garfield's integri ty immeasurably outweighs all the pro ducts of the slander mills. SEVERAL of the Pennsylvania dele gates from Blaine districts, to the late Chicago Republican National Conven tion, met with hearty receptions and public meetings on the return to their homes, for their faithful carrying out of the wishes and instructions of their people. HON. CHARLES 8. WOLFE, the dis tinguished anti-ring member of the last Legislature, and who did so much ser vice to the State in the late prosecution of the riot bribers, has again been nom inated by the Republicans of his coun ty for the Assembly. This, we believe, is the fifth time he has been nominated. THE Petroleum World is the title of a new daily journal just established at Titusville, Pa., iu the interests of the oil producers and against the encroach ments of the Standard Oil Company. We have received the first numbers, which look well, and give the latest oil and general news. It will be useful in its particular sphere and we wish it success. THE only trouble with some candi dates now-a-days is, that they did not get enough of votes to nominate them, and hence they cry "fraud." Had they, by hook or crook, or any fraudulent de vices or schemes, over-topped their competitors and defeated the honest de sires and votes of the party, then all would have been right. They receive, however, but little sympathy in their discomfiture. THE Boston Transcript says of Judge Black's letter: "The Judge's aggressive integrity, and his intense opposition to the Republican party, im parts to his vindication of Gen. Gar field's purity its great significance, es pecially as the Judge had an opportu nity of knowing all there was to be learned in reference to the Credit Mo bilier, and was in no way interested in Gen. Garfield's exoneration." HON. WILLIAM G. HEINER, of Kit taning, is one of the Republican nomi nees of Armstrong county for the Leg islature this year. He ran the leading vote at the late primaries in that coun ty. Mr. Heiner formerly represented Armstrong county, and was known as a thoroughly honest and efficient mem ber of the General Assembly. His constituents could have no more faith ful gentleman to represent them. PURSUANT to a call of the Chair man of the Democratic County Com mittee, the Democrats of Butler county are to meet at their respective places of voting in the several boroughs and townships, on Saturday, July 3rd, next, between the hours of 2 and 6 o'clock, p. m., and select two delegates to represent them in County Conven tion, in Butler, on Monday the sth 4af of July, following. The object of the Convention is to place in nomina tion aaftdidates for the following offi ces; Coi»gwss. Senate, Assembly, Distriet Attorney, Associate Judge, and Coanty Surrayor. COL. R. B. MCCOMB, of New Castle, Greenback-Democratic candidate for Congress four years ago in that dis trict, says this is the first time in twelve years that he has been satisfied with a Republican candidate for Pres ident, and therefore declares his inten tion of supporting Gen. Garfield. TUE Democrats meet in National Convention at Cincinnati to-day. AY ho their candidates will be seems as uncer tain to them as wefe the Republican ones previous to the meeting of the Chi cago Convention. Geu. Gariie'd's nom ination by the Republicans seems to have encouraged a lot of new "dark horses" to spring up on all sides lor the Democratic nomination, each one of whom thinks ho is the proper man. All along we thought Tildcn would again tie nominated. But he has declined. Their strongest man, however, would be Gen. Hancock, but being a soldier and engaged in the trial of Mrs. Surratt, will likely set him aside. MB. TILPEN, in his letter withdraw ing his name from the Cincinnati Con vention, speaks of "renouncing a re election to the Presidency." He se<sms to think he has been President, and now favors the "one Term principle." In this he and President Hayes agree, who also favored but one Term. The only difficulty is, they both seem to be President during the same Terra. But still the position of either is better than that of Gen. Grant, who favored J a "third Term," which was decided to be one too many at least. The "Second Term" is the medium, and it looks to us that if all other things had been right in Mr. Tilden's case, he would not have had any serious objections to the two Term principle. Butler Republicans—Garfield and Arthur Olub Organized. Pursuant to notice the Republicans of Butler met in the Court House, on Monday evening last, 21st inst., for the purpose of organizing a Garfield and Arthur club. On motion, W. H. H. Riddle, Esq., was chosen temporary President, and Lewis P. Walker Esq., Walter L. Graham, Esq , Maj. James B. Storey and Mr. J. Harvey Miller, Vice Presidents. The editors of the Republican press were requested to act as Secretaries, and J. T. Donley, Esq., as Treasurer. Gen. John N. Purviance was called upon to state the object of the meeting. He referred to the action of the Chi cago Convention and the character of Gen. Garfield its nominee, commending both in truthful and appropriate terms. Want of space prevents us from giv ing his remarks in full at present. Hon. John M. Thompson was next called upon to address the meeting, which he did at length, referring to his acquaintance and knowledge of Gen. Garfield while serving in Con gress with him. He strongly en dorsed him as a man of great ability, a ripe scholar, a sound Republican and a safe man in all respects. He referred to Gen. Garfield's views on the tariff question, which he said were perfectly sound and all that Pennsyl vania required or needed. The votes of Gen. Garfield in Congress had al ways been on the right side and his views of protection were always satis factory to his political friends. After Mr. Thompson had closed his remarks the meeting proceeded to ef fect a permanent organization of "The Garfield and Arthur Club of Butler," as follows: President—Maj. James B. Storey ; Vice President—Newton Black, Esq.; Secretaries—J. T. Donley and W. H. Lusk, Esqs.; Treasurer—W. A. Wright. Casper Sherman was chosen Captain of the marching c'.ub, when formed, and A. T. Black, W. H. Ens minger and A. G. Williams, Esqs., Lieutenants of the same. On motion, the President of the club, Maj. Storey, was authorized to appoint any further committees that may be necessary for the future meetings and action of the club. A. G. Williams, Esq., was authorized to organize a glee club. Before adjourning, Mr. Charles S. Kerr was called out for a speech, which he delivered in a very energetic and forcible manner, creating great enthusiasm and eliciting rounds of ap plause at every sentence. Seventy nine names were placed to the roll of membership of the club. The roll will be found in the hands of the Secretaries, who were authorized to receive further signatures to the same. It is expected to contain at least 200 names in a short tim The club adjourned to meet at a time and place designated by the Pres ident. The Butler Cornet Band kindly furnished some of its good music, both before and during the meeting. The services of the Cornet were duly ap preciated. TROUBLE IN CRAWFORD CO. It seems they have had trouble in Crawford county in the nomination of a candidate for Congress there. We have not full particulars and therefore withold any expression of opinion at present. The following telegrams which we find in the Pittsburgh papers will give our readers an idea of the nature of the trouble: TITUSVILLE, Pa., June 20.—The Republican Crawford County Conven tion of return judges at Meadville on Friday and Saturday last declared Senator Walter B. Roberts, of Titus ville, the nominee for Congress, and Tyler, Derrickson, Wilson and Low* ing, nominees for the Assembly. Sena tor Roberts' majority over Hon. S. B. Dick, of Meadville, was 113. An at tempt was made to throw out two elec tion precincts in Titusville, which mo tion the convention voted down, but itl** ISuIUk Cifcxseit: HuiUK, P*., 3*m the chairman refused to announce the motion lost. A committee was ap pointed to investigate the Meadville returns, but failed to report. A resolu tion was adopted to appoint a commit tee to investigate other townships, '"it the chair, in Dick's interest, refused to name the committee. A majority of the return judges nominated Roberts and a minority nominated Dick. Ihe Congressional district is composed of Mercer, Butler and Crawford, and Rob erts and Dick conferees will both ap ply for admission. There is intense po litical excitement in Titusville over the attempt to throw out the votes of two wards of the city in order to count out Senator Roberts, who was elected on the face of the re turns, and a mass meeting is called at the Parshall Opera House for Thurs day evening. •Another dispatch from Meadville, dated 19th inst., says: "The Republi can Convention, after two days oi stormv session, arrived at a conclusion this evening by throwing out two wards of Titusville, etc. The result was then declared as follows : Con gress—Dick, 2,59G —Roberts, 2,2»3. ' "CREDIT—MOBIf IER—TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE." ONE OF THE OBIGINATORS LIVING HERE IN.BUTLER. As the somewhat celebrated Credit Mobilier Company, of some years ago, is again brought before the public, the following as to its origin \Vill be of in terest here as well, perhaps, as to the general reader. The story of Capt. Zieg ler's connection with it is not entirely new, and is given now, as narrated by him recently to us, for the sole purpose of giving some information as to the origination of that once extensive com pany. And here we might premise, that as the said company in its first in ception was well intended, and founded upon lawful business principles what is stated below is not to be taken as a discredit to our brother of the Demo cratic Herald. But the following is the version given by "Uncle Jake" of the procurement of the first charter granted the company by the Legisla ture of of Pennsylvania. In substance he states: Some fifteen years ago, or so, Gen. Duff Green, of North Carolina, a dis tinguished and enterprising man in his day,-came to Harrisburg for the pur pose of procuring from our Legislature a charter fvr a company finally called the "Credit Mobilier." The term is French, and means the moving or trans fer of credits in business enterprises. Gen. Green met him, Mr. at Ilarrisburg and the result of his visit was that they two and ex-Governor David R. Porter, now deceased, met in the house of cj-Gov. Porter and form ulated the company. That ii, they there prepared the charter, then titled "The Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency," aud had the same submitted to and passed by the Legislature then in ses sion. Afterwards it seems the title or name of the company was changed by a subsequent Legislature to that of "The Credit Mobilier." For his servi ces in thus aiding in founding the com pany, Capt. Zicgter was awarded j». handsome number of paid up shares ot its stock. But its first enterprises were unsuccessful and it met with losses. About then Uncle Jake_ parted with his stock, selling the same for the small sum of some two or three hundred dol lars. The books, papers, etc., the Oapt, states, were stolen by some scamps. But afterwards, it seems, the Company turned up as the builder of the Union Pacific Railroad, a grand enterprise, and went to Congress and received large aid from the Government in the building of that road, The stock then became very valuable, and If the Oapt had held on to bis, it was estimated it would have finally realized him over a million of dollars. His friends regret that he parted with it so soon. The Company was subsequently charged with over-reaching the Government, and an investigation followed, which re sulted in its dissolution. Thus, it will be seen, that the origin of the Compa ny was in the Pennsylvania Legisla ture, and that our neighbor of the Her ald, kuowu for his skiil in that line, had considerable to do in the preparation of its first charter, and as our only object is to state that fact, we omit much else that might be stated. Wliito Ground Hog. A ground hog, about half grown, and perfectly white, was caught on Saturday last, by Mr. James 11. McCoy, of Hanover township, in a corn field where he was cultivating corn at the time. A white ground hog is something never before seen in that neighborhood. Mr. McCoy intends making a pet of it.— Reaver Times June 17. What tho Princess Thought of It. The Princess Louisa, who was in Chicago twice, during the Convention, is quoted as saying to a reporter of the Milwaukee Sentinel that she and hep brother were very much entertained and delighted by it. "We were glad of an opportunity," she said, "to see the primary gathering of gentlemen who eel GO t your ruler. I can hardly describe in a few words the feelings 1 experienced. .To think that right tfcpre in Chicago business was going on as usual, no undue excitement, aad that in the large building a few men (for they are but a few of your vast popu lation) were having a debating society that was making your ruler, lou know it is so different from what we have been accustomed to," exclaimed the lady, speaking in an interested and vivacious manner. "My sensa tions," she added, "were confiiotjng, and I have thought much and will think long upon what I saw. This republic is certainly a remarkable in stitution. No man has any right to the throne or the chair. It is open to every one. And yet I told that all the feeling subsides and every member of the partv works to elect the nomi nee." THAT CREDIT MOBILIER. GENERAL UAREIELO VINDICATED BY JUDGE JEREMRAH S. BLACK. l;i an elaborate review by the Phil adelphia Press of the Isth inst., of the alleged connection of Gen. Garfield with the Credit Mobilier Company, the following passage and letter are fouud. The letter being from Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, oue of the leading Democrats of the country, we presume will be conclusive with all fair minded Democrats, as well as all others, that the* charge against Gen. Garfield is wholly without foundation : TIIE REAL CHARACTER DEVELOPED. From the witness in the rase it seems that it was not until the winter of lSl'.O 70 that Gen. Garfield received an intimation of the real nature of the "connection between the Credit Mobi lier and the Pacific Railroad Company. In the a private conversation with the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black of this State, finding that he was familiar with the enterprise, Gen. Garfield told him of the offer made him. Judge Black then expressed the opinion that the managers of the Credit Mobilier were attempting to defraud the Pacific Railroad Company, and informed him that Mr. Ames was pretending to have sold stock to members of Congress for the purpose of influencing their action in any legislation that might arise on the subject. Gen. Garfield's action at that time is best explained in the fol lowing letter from Judge Black to the Hon. James G. Blaine, then Speaker of the House, which of itself should be a thorough vindication, if any was needed, of Gen. Garfield : I.KTT;.-; OF .ITDGF. BLACK. Pnir.ADEDPIHA, February 15. 1873. linn. J. G. B/'itne, Sp aker of the House of Rep resentatives. MY DICAI: SIK: l\om thebeginniny of the in vestit, at rut concerning Mr. Ames' use of the Credit Mobilier, J believed t/n! Gen. Garfield wis fr<e from alt guilty connection with that Ijitsiu■ Thisopinion was Jv ndedncj merely on my confidence in hi* integrity, bat on some spec iit knmrledge of his ruse. 1 may have tolil you all about it in conversation, but I desire now to repeat it by way ol' reminder. I assert unhesitatingly that, whatever Gen. Gar!) *!'! may have done or forborne to do, he acted in profound ignorance ;if {he future and character of the thing which Mr. Ames was pro posing to sell, lie had not the slightest suspic ion that he was to be taken into a ring organ ized for the purpose of defrauding the public, nor did he know that the stock was in any man ner connected with anything which came, or could come, within the legislative jurtsdiciion of Congress. The case against him lacks the aloae constitutes guilt. In the wintfcr of 1 taid Qcr.. Garfield of the fact that his name was on Ames' list j that Ames charged him with being one of his distributees; explained to him the character, origin and objects of the Credit Mobilier; point ed out the connection it had with Congressional legislation, and showed him how impossible it was for a member of Congress to hold stock in it without bringing his private interests in con flict with his in;blic duty. That all this was to him a perfectly new revelation I cm as sure as I can lie of such a fact, or of any fact which is capable of being proved only bv moral circum stances. He told me then the whole story of Train's oilVr to him and Ames' subsequent so licitation and his own action in the premises, much as he details it to the committee. I do nit undertake to reproduce the conversation, but the effect of it all WJJS to ine thorough ly that when he listened to Ames he w&s per fectly unconscious of any thing evil. I watched carefully every word that fell from him on this point, and did'not regard his narrative of the transaction in other respects with much inter est, because in my view everything else was insig..itk; I did not care whether he had made a ba.gain tee.iiniiuiiy I/ifding or not; his integrity depended upon tnsQoestion whether he acted with his eyes open. If he ha I known the true character of the proposition made to him lie would not have endured it, much less embraced it. Now, couple this with Mr. Ames'admission thai hofcaye no explanation whatever of the matter to Gen. Uariield, ii,fcn reflect that not a particle of proof exists to show that he learned anything about it previous to his conversation with me, and I think you will say that it is al together unjust to put him on the list of those who knowingly and willfully joined the fraud ulent association in question. J. S. BLACK. Grand Republican Ratification Meeting at Milleritowu. MHlerstown, .June 18, 18S0. EDITORS CITIZEN : One of thp most enthusiastic and interesting meetings ever in this place, was held in the Opera House this evening. The spa cious Httll was crowded with an intel ligent. and appreciative audience, which gave the closest attention to what was said and evidenced the interest they took in the proceedings by that close attention and good order, which are so essential to the success of meetings of this kind. The meeting was called to order by Dr. 8. li. Bell, who nominated Joseph B. Showalter, Esq., for Chairman of the meeting. Mr. Sfaowalter on taking the chair, stated the object of the meeting, and mads a rcry appropriate speech, urg ing Republicans to OFga&Ue, aiid go to work earnestly, to secure the elec tion of the whole ticket. Newton Black, Esq., of Butler, was then introduced and made a toiling speech in favor of an honest ballot, a fid equal rights before the law for all clashes. Gen. E. 1». Eckley, was then In troduced and spoke for one hour, dur ing which he was frequently applauded in the most heartly manner. The General's speech was full of good points and illustrations, lfe gave an exceedingly interesting history of Gen. Garfield's boy-hood and early life How born in obscurity and poverty, ho had by his own efforts and perse verance, climbed atop by *U-p jo t}x3 high position he now occupied before the American people. At the close of the General's speech, a vote of thanks was tendered him, and Mr. Black, for the eloquent man ner in which they had entertained the audience. After the speaking .was over, a list of 105 names was obtained for membership in a "Garfji.dd and Arthur Club," and a club organized with officers as follows : President—J. B. Showalter, Esq.

The Republican Convention of the j Second Legislative district, Pitts- i burgh, passed the following at its meeting last week relative to the next United States Senator: Retciced, That recognizing in Hon. <•.

ERIE REPUBLICANS FAVOR GROW. ERIE, PA, June 16.—At a special meeting of the Republican County Committee to-night, to discuss the merits of Galusha A. Grow and M. S. Quay for United States Senator, reso lutions iri favor of instructing for Grow were unanimously adopted. The leading politicians of this district were present, and denounced Quay in unmeasured terms for his action on the Pardon 13oard. Representative Silver thorne said he would never help a man to oftice against whom there was al most sufficient evidence to send to the State prison. He favored Grow, and handled Quay without gloves. All the candidates for the Legislature were present and vied with each other in de nouncing Quay and pledging them selves not to vote for him. ANOTHER BOOM FOR GROW. MEADVILLE, PA., June 18. —The Republican County Convention met in this city to-day, and adopted unani mously and with great enthusiasm a resolution favoring the election of Hon. Galusha A. Grow as United States Senator, and instructing the members of the Legislature from Crawford county to use all honorable means to secure that result. Mr. Grow made a short bqt inspiring speech this even ing at a grand ratification meeting, which filled the court house to over flowing. Republican prospects in the Northwest are very bright. The Pittsburgh Dispatch, comment ing on the action of the Erie-county Republicans, say : "Every member of the Legislature who is instructed for Mr. Hampton or Mr. Grow means to vote against the Pardon-beard candi date. and the prospects are that the anti-inaculug wave which has just started in its course over the State will prove fully as destructive to the schemes of the bosses as the anti- Grant movement in New York and Pennsylvania was to the purpose of tjie Senatorial triumvirate at Chicago. Hon Galusha A. Grow is bciug rec ommended for United States Senator by the Republican committees of dif ferent counties throughout the State. A wiser selection could not be made, as Mr. Grow has no superior in the State in point of ability, and but few equals,— KManning Times. County Politics. GROW LEADING QUAY FOR TIIE SENA TORSUIP. PITTSBURGH, June 15.—The Repub licans held their County Conventions to-fji+y, jiqd in tyll, save two,good order and harmony prevailed. Following is the ticket in full: For Congress— Twenty-second district, Russell Errett; Twenty-third district, Thos. M. Bayne. For the State Senate, John Uperman, John C. Newmyer and M. A.

Both Congressional candidates went through by acclamation. A letter was rep t d from each The iqost signifi cant w&s that from Major in which hp reviewed briefly Qarfield's tariff record and his connection with tuo Cqb4en G'iub, and then said: -'ln all the efforts of the Pennsylvania del egation to sustain the preseut tariff Mr. Garfield has most cordially co-op erated, and Pennsylvania owes a large 4ebt of gratitude to him for his firm, ncss on the question aijd for his great ability with which he wielded in the Coiitn]itteo of Ways and Meaus the ar guments in favor of protection drawn from the vast repository of facts gath ered by him in his researches into the intricacies of the tariff problem. ' I say this much in justice to Gen. Garfield, having been one of those who were at first misled into diutsqstiqg l)in} from the fact of his election as an honorary member of the Cobden Club, and it is proper, therefore, that J should thus bear testimony to bis great, services in behalf of protection and to his thorough soundness on the tariff question. Rep resenting as he did a large manufac turing interest in his district, he felt it his duty to give his earnest attention to the tariff problem, and he stands to il.;y ms? lvjjere wo all stand °n that question." Errett had refused to vote lor Garfield as speaker, but afterward when he had thoroughly examined his tariff record and watched his votes be came Garfield's warm supporter. There is no vynjpatby h.-re this year, how ever, with bolters, and the regular ticket \yi!l stand. Everybody, save a few defeated ones, wants harmony. Garfjeld's nomination has healed up all old sores, QIKI dissenters now are at g very heavy discount. The ticket is re garded as a very good one. It suits a great many of the rank and file because some ring slates were completely smashed, especially in the legislative nominations. It was generally a bad day for what is called the ring, but they it good hqnjocedly. In one convention the legislative nominees were unanimou.ly instructed to vote for Grow for United Stales Senator.

A MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRATION AT WASHINGTON IN HONOR OF THE i:K ;, I BLK'AN CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY, CF 1880. WASHINGTON, June lii. —This ing a serenade was tendered Gen. James A. Garfield by the National Vet eran Association. The portico of the Rigirs House was tastefully decorated with flags and bunting, and the sur rounding streets were brilliantly illu minated with calcium lights, while at frequent intervals rockets and other fireworks were set off from the steps of the Treasury Department. As the procession filed past cheers were given for Garfield, and as that gentleman ap peared on the platform, accompanied by Attorney General Devens, they were renewed. Gen. Devens, in introducing Gen. Gartield, referred to the great Repub lican Presidents, Lincoln, Grant and Hayes, and each name was greeted with loud cheers. If, he concluded, you sought to find an example in one person of the mode in whi h, by our free civilization, hope is given to the humblest as well as to the highest born to aspire by lofty aim, by high ambition, by noble prophesies, to the greatest ofiice in your gift, where would you seek it but iu James A.

IT is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for pre-' serving the hair. It restores, with tlie gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands are not decayed; while to brashy, weak, 01 otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The VIGOR cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of th( humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair The YIGOK is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
