Club Meeting. There will be a meeting of the But ler Garfield and Arthur Club in the Court House, on Saturday evening next at 8 o'clock. A full attendance is requested. By order of President. THURSDAY, September 2th, is the last day on which assessments or reg istry can be made. Attend to it. HON. J. C. StuRMVANT, of Con neautville, Crawford county, and 8. C. Koonce, Esq., of Clarksville, Mercer county, Pa., paid our town a brief visit last Friday. W* regret to learn of the death Mr. Alexander W. Book, one of the propri etors and for fifteen years past connect ed with the Pittsburgh Dispatch. He died at his residence, in Pittsburgh, on Saturday last, aged 54 years. THE story in the Pittsburgh Post, of Monday last,, contained in a telegram purporting to have been sent from Bradford, was too absurd and ridicu lous to gain any credence here, where " at least one of the parties is known, and whose reputation protects him from all such canards. SOMI papers, among them the Pitts burgh Dispatch, speak of Mercer as more of a Republican county than Crawford or Butler. This is not strictly correct. In 1876, the last Presidential election, each of these counties gave President Hayes about the same majority. But lergave more votes to Hayes than Mer cer did at that election. MR. A. T. DOXJTHBTT, of Pittsburgh, and former Superintendent of Schools in Allegheny county, was visiting our town this week with the object of es tablishing here a female seminary, for the education of young ladies. The project is a good one and Butler would be a pleasant location for a female sem inary. It would supply a want much needed. TH* Democratic meeting ,in the Court House last week was rather more amusing than imposing. Mr. Stranahan, of Mercer, the first speaker, made a poor impression, although he told his hearers at theoutstart that he would rather make a Democratic speech at any time than eat a good dinner. This spoiled the appetites of some of his audience. He was followed by Mr. Thomas May Peiree, of Philadelphia, a fine looking gentleman and a very pleasant talker. His speech appeared to give very general satisfaction to his party friends, and, from the fact of be ing courteous, did not offend his op ponents. WILL WITHDRAW. From reeent information from Mer cer county we have every reason to believe that Mr. Miller, the Greenville nominee for Congress in this district, will in due time withdraw. There are many reasons why he should do so. One alone must be conclusive with him. He is second in the field and that by a mistake of his own. This mistake, by his own action, is beyond his pow er to correct Mr. McJunkin was nomi nated at the first, Mercer, Conference because of that mistake. Treated as a legal question, Mr. McJunkin's nomi nation then made is pronounced in many respectable, and in all disin terested quarters, as justifiable, regu Tar, and binding upon all parties who did not, but who ought to have, partic ipated in it. And since made it has been ratified by the County Commit tees of two of the three counties of the district. Mr. McJunkin therefore can not be asked to withdraw, and besides no better man could be found in the district Mr. Miller by withdrawing not only saves the district, but will make a record for the future that will be acknowledged, and all the past for gotten. Thk Republican Conference held in New York on Thursday of last week, was attended by leading Republicans from every part of the L nion. Blaine, Cameron, Logan, Halstead, Hoar, Conger, Sherman, Grow, Harrison, Hoyt, and a hundred others equally prominent, were present to confer up on the situation. Gen. Garfield and Arthur were also in the city but did not attend the conference. The editors of the leading Republican papers, the Chairman of the State Committees, and members of tbe National Congres sional Committee aud the National Republican Executive Committee were also present. Reports favorable to Re publican success were received from every Northern State, especially those which have been considered doubtful. Blaine says the Democratic and Green back Fusionists in Maine will be beaten, and two members of Congress gained. Gen. Ben. Harris says Indi ana will give a Republican majority in October, and Garfield 10,000 major ity in November. Governor Jewell says Connecticut will elect the Republican ticket. In New Jersey the prospects are very bright. New York also prom ises to give its thirty-five Electoral votes to Garfield. The reports from California and Oregon were also very assuring. Ohio and all the Northern States will give increased majorities for the Republican ticket. In the South the Republicans will make a fight in West Virginia, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia, with chances of success. A number of Congressmen will be gained in the South, and in some of the Northern States. "MERGER'S MISTAKES". Since the commencement of the Re publican Congressional Conferences, in this district, the term "Mercer's Mistakes" has become kind of prover bial. They are known to be tbe mis takes of tbe candidate of that county, Mr. Miller. And while not just of the character of the alleged "Mistakes of Moses," yet are more numerous. We regret to see another, and a serious one, in the Mercer Dispatch, Mr. Miller's organ, of last week. It is of such a character, and so bold an untruth, that it must be corrected, sooner or later. Immediately after the adjournment of tbe Mercer conference, July 7, the Dispatch was in great haste to get out an extra, giving its version of the pro ceedings, and with the view of trying to damage Mr. McJunkin's nomination- Last week it appears with what may be called a "revised, improved and en larged edition" of all proceedings. It is certainly enlarged. For this remark able statement is found in it. "Mr. Mil ler never refused to go into conference with Butler county." And, "had he had notice that a conference would be organized, (July 6), he would have immediately accepted the proposition of the Butler conferees." Unfortunately for the Dispatch it con tradicts itself in making the above statement. We will let it answer it self. In its issue, July 9, immediately after the conference, it admits as fol lows : "About the hour of 11 o'clock the conferees of Mr. McJunkin notified Mr. Miller that they had met in room 11 Whistler House, and that they were ready to meet the Mercer county con ferees, organize a conference, and pro ceed to determine the rights of the Crawford county candidates to a voice in the conference, and to the further business of the conference." Strange too, the above admission appears in its present "history" of the proceedings, and only a few sentences in advance of its enlarged account. The Dispatch thus stands self con. victed. The notice to Mr. Miller above referred to is the same appearing in the regular proceedings, as the letter signed and sent to him by all the But ler conferees, and will be seen in an" other place of this paper. It states ex plicitly that the Butler conferees had met according to agreement, and were ready to "organize a conference." Mr. Miller refused to meet them to do so, "unless Dick was also admitted into the conference." His subsequent let ters to tbe Butler conferees prove that was his position. All his declarations prove it. And it will be proven other wise, if compelled to be done. But we hope the Dispatch will at once correct itself, for its own sake, and thus save further misunderstanding on this point. Because, whatever else may happen, that cannot be allowed to stand, against the truth, against all the facts, written and verbal. It is but evidence of a bad cause that requires such pre varication. If Mr. Miller 6ees his mis. take, as is now admitted by nearly all •his friends, he should frankly say so himself, and not endeavor now to deny the position he took at Mercer, on July 6th. TO THE PITTSBURGH DISPATCH. In the CITIZEN of last week the at tention of the Pittsburgh Dispatch was called to the error it was making in its statements as to the action of the Butler Congressional Conferees at the Mercer conference, July fith. We also expressed the opinion that the course of the Dixpatch had done much to wards the producing ol two Republi can candidates in this district. The Dispatch of last Friday replies and ex plains in part its course. But on the material point, to wit., the action of the Butler conferees at Mercer, we are satisfied it has been laboring under some misinformation. Otherwise it would not repeat it, as it does in its article, headed "Mr. McJunkin's Rights." We quote from it as fol. lows: "Mr. McJunkin was, we believe, fairly nominated by the constituents of his county, but he was disrespectful to iHtttljwc? P«>t t8» 1880^ them and to tbe Republicans of the en- 1 tire district when he permitted his con- c ferees to unite with those of Mr. Rob- i erts, of Crawford county, while there c was good basis for a doubt of the fair 1 nomination, of the latter, and utterly \ ignoring the right of Mercer county to c a representation in the conference." ( The point on which the Dispatch is ' much mistaken is, as to the "ignoring the right of Mercer county to a repre- j sentation in the conference." We sent it the official proceedings of the Con ference some days ago. Had it but ( consulted them it could not have ever , said that the "right of Mercer county" i had ever been ignored. So far from that, it was the fault and action of the ' Mercer county candidate himself that 1 ignored the seat of his county in the conference. Mr. Miller's first, last aud only proposition, when all four sets of 1 conferees, Butler, Mercer, and two from Crawford, had arrived at Mercer j was, that one of the Crawford set, Dick's, must be admitted to conference in its organization. This was in such gross violation of his agreement, by which both sets from Crawford had been invited and appeared there, that it was not entertained by the Butler conferees for a moment, lie, Miller, had joined Mr. McJunkin, on June 26, in informing the Crawford contestants, Roberts and Dick, that they two. Mil ler and McJunkin, had agreed upon Mercer as the place, and July 6th, at 7 o'clock p. m., as the time "for hold ing the Republican conference of this district." And now we will let the official proceedings tell the balance, in which the Dispatch will see there was no ignoring the right of Mercer, but that on the contrary her candidate re fused to participate, although notice after notice was sent him. And all we ask is, that the Dispatch, on seeing this, will make such correction as will set tbe action of the Butler conferees at Mercer right before its readers. As this is a matter of interest to Repub licans, both in and out of the district, we will confidently look for it doing so. The proceedings say : "In pursuance of the above letters of Miller and McJunkin to Dick and Rob erts all the four parties met in Mercer at the time. Mr. McJunkin's Confer ees, at 7 p. m., held an informal meet ing with Mr. Miller's Conferees. The question discussed was the action to be taken with regard to Crawford county, the Mercer Conferees insisting that Dick should be admitted as en titled prima facie to his seat; the But ler conferees contending that Dick and Roberts should be treated alike, and neither admitted until Mercer aud But ler conferees should organize and pass upon the credentials from Crawford county ; that by admitting Dick in the first instance he would have an unfair advantage, for if a motion were made to substitute the Roberts conferees, upon proof that Roberts was the nom inee from Crawford county, and the Mercer Conferees were to divide, Mr. Dick would retain his seat. No under standing was arrived at, and Mr. Mil ler's Conferees withdrew for consulta tion. After waiting one or two hours, the following potice was prepared and served on Mr. Miller t MEHCER, PA., July Gth, 1880. 8. H. MILLEB, ESQ.

Another Letter from Mercer County. MERCEK CO., August 9tb, 1880. Hon. John H. Negley: DEAR SIR:—I wrote you my views on the Congressional matter after tbe regular nomination of Mr. McJunkin at Mercer and I am sustained in those views by all honest, unselfish Repub licans of our county. It is the wish of all outside of a selfish, corrupt ring iu the party, that McJunkin shall re main a candidate and make no com promise with those who bolted at Mer cer. We are anxious to have an opor tunity of casting our votes for an able man, a man of integrity, who is honest and capable and who cannot be influ enced by machine politicians. A R. The Rebel Oath. PORTERSVILLE, August 11, 1880. For the Citizen: Mr. Negley—l promised to give you a copy of the" oath that Southern sol diers took when they joined the rebel army. These were the first that en listed. I got this when I was in the South and you told me if I would send it you would publish it; and here it is: "I do swear in the presence of Almighty God, who is the searcher of all hearts, that I will support the Government of South Carolina" and Georgia and all seceeding States. This, I do adhere to while the blood runs within my veins, or the heart beats within my breast, so help me God." Robt. Stewart is offering the Post to Republicans five months for 30 cts. He is busy. The Democrats say that if they do not get their man elected this fall they will fight. I understood there was going to be a Democratic meeting iu tbe Town Hall last Saturday night. Scott was to lecture. They poured in from all di rections and when I left town at 9 o'clock there were two there. They were sitting on the steps of the Hall. & *• Mis.

It strikes rtL i vKfii*. a t the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of any age or either sex. Being very palatable, the youngest children take it readily. In ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Ca tarrh, the effects of AYEK'S CHERRY PEC TOR AI. are magical, and multitudes are an nually preserved from serious illness by its timely and faithful use. It should be kept at band in every household for the pro tection it affords in sudden attacks. In AVhooping - cough and Consumption there is no other remedy so eflkScious, soothing, and helpful. Low prices are inducements to try some of the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredients, now offered, which, as they contain no curative qualities, can afford only temporary relief, and are sure to deceive and disappoint the patient. Diseases of the throat and lungs demand active and effective treatment; and it is dan gerous experimenting with unknown and cheap medicines, from the great liability that these diseases may, while so trifled with, become deeply seated or incurable. Use AYEH'S CJIKKUY PECTORAL, and you may confidently expect the best results. It is a standard medical preparation, of known and acknowledged curative power, and is as cheap as its careful preparation and fine ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians, knowing its composition, prescribe it in their practice. The test of half a century has proven its absolute certainty to cure all pul monary complaints not already beyond the reach of human aid. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
