BEN. BUTLER having been formally

WE /rive bat little credence to the
the sensational telegram from Frank
lin, Pa., to the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
of Monday last, relative to our Con
gressional settlement. All parties at
Franklin last week agreed to abide by
the decision of the board of referees
then chosen, and we have no doubt
will do so. Mr. McJunkin we know
will cheerfully carry out the agreement.
The Dispatch has l>een taking entirely
too much interest in this matter.
THE members of the Butler Garfield
and Arthur Club had on their fine uni
forms for the first time at the meeting
to hear Mr. Grow last Friday evening.
They paraded the street about one hun
dred strong and made a very fine ap
pearance. Their caps and capes are
much admired and we have as yet seen
no better marching club this campaign
than our own Butler one. On Saturday
evening they went to the meeting at
Parker, where it was said they were
complimented as the largest and best
appearing company in the proces
sion.
MEETING TO HEAR GROW.
The Republican meeting in the Court
llonse last Friday evening, to hear
Hon. Galusha A. Grow, was well at
tended. Gen. Purvianee was called to
preside and Gen. Eckley and Hon.
James Mitchell chosen Vice Presidents,
with the editors of the Republican
press of this place as Secretaries.
Mr. Purvianee introduced Mr. Grow
to the meeting in a fi w well chosen
remarks, who then proceeded to ad
dress our people upon the issues of the
present campaign. The speech of Mr.
Grow was listened to with the great
est attention and interest. His review
of the great work and history of the
Republican party in bringing this Na
tion to what it is now, both financially
and as the party of progress and freedom,
was both eloquent and instructive. He
was frequently applauded during his re
marks and a hearty vote of thanks ten
dered him when be closed, after which
the meeting adjourned.
STATE ELECTIONS.
VERMONT.
The Green Mountain State has crone
Republican by about 25,000, gaining
one Congressman and electing a larger
Republican majority to her Legislature
than ever before. Being the first
State gun fired in the North, the re
sult is regarded as favorable on the
coming Presidential election.
ARKANSAS.
On the other band, has given her
usual Democratic majority, at her
State election last week.
MAIN P.
The first news from the Maine State
election on Monday last, indicate at
this writing, Tuesday, a close contest,
with the probability in favor of tin
election of the Fusionist candidate
for Governor by a small majority.
We have lost, however, a member of
Congress, the Fusionists now electing
three of the five from that State—they
had two before. The Democrats and
Greenbackers combined, and were
known as the "Fusionists," and if they
have carried the State at this election
it has been more on local and State
questions than on National ones.
They cannot fuse in November on
either Hancock or Weaver, Greenback,
and we have not any fears of Garfield
parrying Maine in November.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
The uilio r- if all Republican march
in? clubs throughout the county are
I respectfully requested to send their
names and addresses, with the number
of men enrolled, to the Secretaries of
the Garfield <fc Arthur Club of Butler,
without delay. The County Commit
tee contemplate holding a grend mass
parade and torchlight procession of all
the clubs in the county, at Butler,
sometime after the middle of October,
18S0, and the importance ot communi
cating the de.-ired information should
be apparent.

OUGHT TO BE KNOWN.
While we do not wish to revive or
keep up anything growing out of, or
connected with, what we may now
consider as the late Congressional
trouble in this district; 1/e'ieving, as
we do, that all trouble is now over;
yet there is one matter that cannot be
passed over and should not be permit
ted to rest without further light and
information. The hayle of this place,
for the past two or three weeks, has
published a copy of a paper which it
asserted a majority of the Republican
Committee of this county had riyned.
This paper set forth that the said ma
jority believed and therefore declared
that Mr. McJunkin had "acted unwise
ly" in declining to go to the so-cciled
Greenville Congressional Conference ;
and that the so-called nomination of
Mr. Miller, of Mercer county, at the
same "was a prudent measure," and
that the said majority of our County
Committee, "therefore endorsed him
(Miller) as the candidate of the dis
trict," etc. Believing that no such pa
per had ever i>een signed by any con
siderable number of our County Com
mittee, much less by a majority of it,
we thrice denounced the assertion as a
falsehood, and called for the publica
tion of the names of the members so
alleged as so signing. No publication
of the said names came. And we heard
nothing further until at Franklin last
week. Mr. Tborons Robinson was
there, as is usual with him in attend
ing such occasions uninvited, and man
aged to get into the room in which the
State Committee were in session, and
there reiterated that such a paper was
in existence and was there present.
Mr. Newton Black, of this place was
also there, representing as he said Mr.
Craig, chairman of County Committee,
and sustained Mr. Robinson's asser
tion by getting up in the Committee
and reading off from a paper he had
the names of twenty-seven of our
County Committee, as signing such a
paper. He refused to show the paper
when asked for its inspection, and when
it was denounced before the Commit
tee as not genuine or true, he finally
said it was a cojjy of the alleged pa
per. For the information of the mem
bers of our County Committee, whose
names we still believe were thus im
projKirly used, we give them In re as
tollowsand as read out by Mr. Black at
Franklin to the State Committee:

We publish the above believing that
no such paper is in existence and that
the whole thing is a fraud upon some
at least of our County Committee. If
we are mistaken, any of tliein can have
the opportunity of correcting us, on
the one hand, or setting themselves
right on the other band. Our informa
tion has lieen'so verydiffereit, from sev
eral of the members whose names appear
above, that tin y never signed, or au
thorized to be signed any such paper.
We have it from the mouths of some
of them that they never did or would
sign such a pa|s;r. It is therefore due
to them, as well as due to the Repub
licans of this county, that this record
, should be made in this matter. Only a
few weeks before, at the meeting of
the County Committee, but sixteen of
the above held any such opinions.
The Committee, as now composed, con
sists of fifty-four members. The above
twenty-seven would therefore, at best,
be but the half of the same and not a
majority, even if true. But the truth
ought to be known, and if a fraud has
been committed the odium and respon
sibility for it should be traced to and
put upon the guilty party or parties.
Other matters might be overlooked,
but this is one involving the truth and
veracity of some of the members of the
County Committee, as well as the hon
esty of Mr. Robinson and a few oth
ers.

BETTER FEIL'.^G.
At the consultation with the Repub
lican State Committee at Franklin, Pa.,
last week, a better state of feeling was
evidently established between the
friends of Mr. Miller, of Mercer, ami
Mr. McJunkin, of th:* county It will
be recollected that the principal caur-e
of complaint by the R publicans of this
countv was the manner in woich Mi.
Miller had acted at the Congressional
Conference in Mercer on July fith, in
not c-irrving "Ut an agreement made to
assist in organising that Conference
with the Butler Conferees. At frank
lin last week Mr. Miller publicly ac
knowledged that he had then and
there made a mi-tak in not so doing,
and admitted everything that coiiid be
asked or deemed necessary towards
making amends and establishing the
former good feelings existing. Should
he therefore be nominated by the board
of referees that meet at franklin to
dav we hope to IMJ able to give him
our full and hearty support. We still
believe, however, that Mr. McJunkin
is the better man for the position of
Congressman for this district, and hope
for bis success before the board of refer
ees now chosen and in session.
POSITION OF CONGIiESS QUES
TION.
The meeting of the Republican
State Committee at Franklin, e run go
county, on last Thursday, oth inst., was
an event of more than usual occurrence.
It was the first meeting of that Com
mittee in the Western pa;t of the State
for some time past. Its object was
not to assume the power to hear or
decide any troubles in the party in
any of the Western counties or dis
tjicts, but if possible to aid in a solu
tion of them. And inasmuch as there
were difficulties of an unusual char
acter existing, it invited all parties in
terested to be present there at its
meeting. Our Congressional district
being among those in which there was
a dispute existing as to its candidate,
the persona interested in this, and Mer
cer and Crawford counties, were in
vited and went to the meeting. The
trouble in our district therefore came
before the committee for its advice, or
for any suggestions it might have to
make. But after a talk before it by
Mr. McJunkin of this county, an 1 Mr
.Miller of Mercer, and their friends
present, a proposition for settlement
was made which relieved the State
Committee from any advice in the
matter and was finally agreed upon.
This proposition was, for each, Mr.
McJunkin and Mr. Miller, to choose a
referee, ami th< y two to choose a third,
if they possibly could do so, and the
said three to compose a board to bear
and decide the case. .Mr. McJunkin
named Dr. A. W. Crawford, of this
county, Mr. Miller named 11. B. Bow
ser, Esq., of Mercer, and they two,
after some time and considerable ef
fort, succeeded in agreeing upon the
lion. J. M. Dickey, of Franklin, as the
third man and umpire. Mr. Dickey
was immediately consulted, and agreed
to serve. Shortly afterwards the
board was organized and heard the
statements of some of the parties, but.
owing to the fact that Mr. Dickey had
to leave home for a few days, the ref
erees adjourned to meet at the same
place, Franklin, on thisdjiy, 15th inst.
As all parties gave consent to this
mode of settling the case, and agreed
to abide by its decision, we may say
that a near end of our Congressional
mix is at hand. By next, weeks issue
of our paper, we hope to be able to an
nounce the one, sole candidate for
Congress in this district. The tribu
nal to decide is regarded as a fair one,
and all parties are pledged to join in
sustaining its action. So that unless
somt thing happens not now expected,
it may be considered that the trouble
is over and that there will be but one
Republican candidate for Congress in
this district, and that alrtfc ill be ena
bled to join in giving him a full and a
cordial support.
Th ) Granting of tho Right of Way
to tho N.trrow lload.
A provision in the ordinance passed
iri Councils hist night, granting the
right of way through the lower part
of the city to the Pittsburgh and West
ern Railroad Company, has excited
considerable speculation as to its real
purpose. The provision referred to is
that reserving to Councils the right to
permit another railroad company to
lay a third rail on the line of the P. h
\V. It R. extension. A gigantic scheme
is on foot, which if carried out will se
cure to the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie
Railroad Company direct communica
tion with all the great manufacturing
establishments in the two cities.
About two months ago a charter
was quietly obtained for the "North
Side Railroad Company," a cor
poration composed of a num
ber of our most substantial manufac
turers and business men, Dr. Hostel
ler being at the head of the enterprise.
The terminal points of this proposed
marginal road will be at Federal street
and .Jackson'#'Run, which will enable
the road to obtain the patronage of the
numerous iron mills and other manu
factories in lower Allegheny. The new
company expect to obtain the right of
way from Councils, and this is where
the "third rail" mentioned in the ordi
nance passed hist night comes in.
The object is to make a connection
between the North Side Railroad, the
"Ilostetter Railroad" and the railroad
running from the Point to Grant street,
Pittsburgh. The transfers from tho Al
legheny side will be similar to those at
Glcnwood between the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Lake Erie. It is said the
B. and O. Company had nothing to do
with the scheme, but it undoubtedly
is willing to avail itself of any ail van
tages that may result therefrom. The
P. and IJ 10. will probably control the
whole business, and those familiar with !
the matter say the P. A: L. 10. will
have a decided "bulge" on all its ri
vals. This means death to freight dis
criminations. — Allegheny Mail.

l>u that evening the Chairman ap
pointed a committee on permanent or

President J. W. Stewart, Secretary

was agreed that there be a meeting \
called on September Tth. to see what j
could be done toward raising a march- j
ing club ; on that eveniusr tiicy turned j
out lively and after some di cussion as |
to whether we would get torches alone
or caps and capes as well : it was
i agreed by an overwhelming majority
that we get the full outfit. The Presi
dent then appointed a committee of
four to take names and subscriptions
which resulted well; they having 53
names with enough subscription to
furnish the outfit complete. It was
vheii growing late and it was thought
liest to adjourn to meet on Saturday ;
evening, the 11th. inst. On the open
ing of this meeting one of the members
arose and stated the object of the meet
ing and to decide '>n the color of our
uniform and election of officers and
some other minor affairs. The Presi
dent then appointed two committees
consisting of three members each, one
on uniforms, the other on olficers; the
former committee agreed on white
capes and redcaps and on being put to
vote it was agreed too. The commit
tee on officers then reported as follows:
Captain, Fred. Bauder. Ist Lieutenant,
Jos. Lehman. 2nd Lieutenant, .las.
.'vlcConnell. Orderly Serg., Theodore-

a committee to purchase and distribute
the uniforms, we adjourned to meet
on next Saturday night, at which
iiine we expect to turn out in our new

Pennsylvania not Debatable.
The history of Republicanism in
Pennsylvania is a series of almost un
broken triumphs. From 18fi0, when, un
der the leadership of Andrew O. Curtin
the people, excited almost to madness
under an acilte sense of the wrong done
them by the attempts of the Democrat
ic party to extend slavery, until last
year's overwhelming victory, Penn
sylvania has hardly been a doubtful
State in an emergency. I Jut, notwith
standing this, such men as Senator
Wallace have and do vigorously insist
that there is such a defection in the Re
publican ranks as to endanger the elec
tion of (jcaeral Garfield. These claims
are without the slightest foundation,
the mistake of Mr. Walllace being that
he bases his hopes on a false founda
tion. The nomination of General Han
cock, the latest and most cunning
scheme of rebels who are floundering
in the last ditch of political despair,
might well have caused a wavering in
the lines of the loyal people «.f the
State. Hancock was a gallant Union
soldier, and the people of Pennsylva
nia loved and honored him. I hey knew
little in reference to his career but that
which was calculated to win their af
fections. Therefore, when he was
named for the Presidency it was ex
pected that those who remembered
what was done for the State at Gettys
burg would look on Hancock's candi
dacy with at least some favor. But the
Republican party of Pennsylvania is
composed of men, who think and whoso
political c jnvictions are based on prin
ciple. They revered Hancock for his
war services, but they instantly saw
that he was «i in ply the figure-head of
the Democratic party, whose strength
and life is the eight millions of people
who still sigh lor the last cause. Never
was the intelligence of the party or
its keen sense Of perception more quick
ly or acutely ininifeHtcd than iu the
prompt taking in of the situation on
the report o the result of the Cincin
nati Convention. There is not now,
and there never has been, a thousand
Republicans who were duped by the
Democratic trick, and the infinitesimal
portion of the party who will vote for
Hancock wi'l do so on purely personal
grounds an<l there action will have no
appreciable effect.
From the present outlook there is
every reason to accept a much larger
majority for Garfield in Pennsylvania
than .Mr. Hayes received. From the be
ginning of the canvass the reports from
every section have indicated an un
broken line in November, and events
since June have materially added to
the sure chances of success. The po
sition taken by the Democratic party
on the tar ill' question has greatly
strengthened the Republicans and will
lead to large gains in the western part
of the Stale if not in every section.
Encouraged liy what they sec around
them the Pennsylvania Republicans
regard the election ol Garfield as se
cure. A less confident feeling would
be a severe and immediate lilow to the
iron industry of the State, and any
probability of the success of the Dem
ocratic party in November would par
alyze that for years. The interests of
the capital of the State and the thous
ands of peivoiis who,-e daily subsistence
depends on this indiintry are far too
great to run the slightest risk of a
change in the policy of the Republican
party—v. ili'• his the nolicy of the na
tion. '1 ho recent election in Vermont,
where the Republicans have proved
that they have not allowed themselves
to be at all deceived, has had the effect
of Curl her strengl li'iiing and cement ing
Republicanism in this State. The 2T>,-
000 majority of the Green .Mountain
boys will stimulate Peiinsylvanians to
renewed efforts, which must greatly in
crejse the Republican majority.
To sum uj), tho Republican party of
I'enn.-.ylv.irua was in ver in a bettor
condition than it is at this moment.
The whole body of the party is harmo
nious, and its individual members are
thoroughly united, enthusiastic, and
hard at work. The result of these ef
forts will be a victory of tremendous
proportions.— l're nn.

Next Week's Fair.
We are glad to know that the Fair
to be held in this place next week,
promises to bo ill? most successful Fair
ever held in this couuty. The farmers
of our county, seem at last to have be
come alive to the importance of these j
anual meetings. The agricultural Fair
has become one of the institutions of
our country, and there is no agricul-1
tural community anywhere that istbriv- j
ing and prosperous which has not its ]
agricultural Fair, and they are now
regarded not so much as a means of
paving a premium to the man who has
the best horses, or the best cattle, or
the best farm products, as a medium
through which the farmer may ac
quaint himself with the latest improve
ments in his business ano of letting
the public know that what he raises,
whether of stock or farm products,
that are worth buying. The best of
| everything raised on a farm, whether
of stock or products, are brought to the
Fair and placed on exhibition. So
that the man who wishes to improve
on any of the different branches of
farming, can do so intelligently, and
you know where to get what you want
when you are ready to buy. If you
wish to improve your horses, the men
who raise the best horses will lie at the
Fair. If you wish to improve your
cattle, the men who raipe the best cat
tle will be there. If you wish to buy
farm machinery, the enterprising deal
ers in farm implements w ill all be there
and they will all have their animals
and implements, <&c on exhibition, so
that you can judge of the merits of
each and make your selection intelli
gently. But perhaps the greatest ben
efit to be derived from these meetings
is the interest they awaken among
farmers in their own business by com
paring results one with the other in
competition for the premiums. If a
man believing his animal or article is
of superior quality, enters for compe
tition and finds on comparison th;it an
other of the same class is superior to
his, then his' ambition is aroused to
produce a better article o: animal next
year. He i>s repaid ten fold for his
trouble and loss of premium in the first
instance. It is only by comparison of
results obtained by intercourse with
those engaged in the same pursuits,
that we can make improvements in
any direction. The world is continu
ally advancing. Everything is con
stantly undergoing a change; breeds of
animals run out; varieties of grain or
vegetables deteriorate; the conditions
of the soil changes and if we continue
to piod on in the old ruts doing things
the same way year after year we will
soon find ourselves far in the rear.
As wo said before, we are glad to see
our farmers ::re becoming interested in
these meetings, and if properly con
dinted, they cannot help but, bo pro
ductive of much good in the way of
developing and improving the agricul
tural interests of our county, ami of
awakening among the fanners a spirit
of improvement which shall result in
placing our county as an agricultural
county among the first in the State.
We would then say to the farmers,
that a-> it is you who are immediately
benefited by these Fairs. You should
by all means encourage and give your
hearty support not only by your pres
ence, but by assisting in the manage,
mem, und by bringing anything you
have which is meritorious and placing
it on exhibition at the Fair. And we
would say to the business portion of
our com unity that this being a purely
agricultural county, your only depen
dence is on the farming interest and
if these Fairs are the means of making
what the farmer formerly rai.-cd and
sold for one dollar worth two dollars
with the same trouble and expense,
he has just that mqeh more money
with which to buy what you liavo to
sell HO that you have an interest in the
Fair and it should receive your hearty
support.
Now York in tho Campaign.
The political situation in New York
is of groat importance, us without New
York the Democrats can not hope for
success Nowhere is their party more
seriously divided, and the recent action
of its State Committee in calling a
State Convention becomes very inter
esting. Perhaps our readers out of the
State may be glad of some explanation
of its significance The Democratic
feud is between Mr. Tilden and the
"regulars"' on one side, and Mr. John
Kelly and Tammany llall upon the
other, and it turns upon the patronage
of office in the city of New York. The
feeling is so bitter that Mr. Kelly and
Tammany Hall declared last year lie
fore the State Convention that if Gov
ernor Robinson were renominated, they
would bolt. He was renominated, and
they bolted, diverting 77, 000 votes
from tho regular Democratic ticket.
The bolters held a separate Conven
tion in the spring of this year, and
sent a separate delegation to Cincin
nati, where they defeated the nomina
tion of Mr. Tilden by showing that it
would undoubtedly cause the loss of
New York. When they had succeeded
in defeating Mr. Tilden the bolters
vociferously greeted the nomination of
General Hancock, and Mr. .IOIKI Iv lly,
whom the Convention bad at first ex
cluded, became its hero at tho end. Re
turning to New York, Tammany llall
1 held a ratification meeting, in which
the regular.- wculd not unite, and the
regulars subsequently held a meeting,
at which Mr. Tilden presided, and at
which Tammany Hall did not appear.
Encouraged by his success in adopt
ing Danton's motto —audacity Mr.
Kelly a few weeks since issued a call
for a State Convention to nominate a
Chief Judge of Appeals. The regulars
did not desire a Convention. But their
Committed was summoned, and a let
ter from Mr. Kelly wan read announc
ing lb,'' if a convention were regular
ly called, with a certain understanding
which he stated, he would withdraw
his own call. The Committed acqui
esced, and the Convention is called.
Mr. John Kelly, therefore, within a
few months, has defeated the regular j
candidate of his party for tho Gover
norship, he has prevented Mr Tilden's
nomination for the Presidency, and he
has imposed his will upon the regular
organization of his party. He has be
come, what Tweed was ton years ago,
the practical master of tho Democratic
party in New York, lie has entirely
routed Mr. Tilden, who was consider
ed to be the ablest Democratic politi
cian in the country. He holds the
Democratic vote in New York, with
out which General Hancock has no
chance of election, and that vote will
be cast for General Hancock only upon
such conditions as Mr. Kelly chooses
to dictate.
This result has been accomplished j
not so much by ability as by sheer au
dacity. The iCelly i blowing is com
posed of what is known as the Iri-L
Catholic vote in the State, and of old
Demr.cr.its, lik" Judge Parker, of Al
bany, who are b : tterly hostile to Mr. i
Tilden. The alliance which has been
now apparent!'.' m.ide is one of mutual
distrust, and the figures of recent elec
tions t lie re fore become interesting. In
15576 Mr. Tilden carried the State by
about 32,000 majority ; this included
the "independent" vote. In 1870 the j
united Democratic majority was about ,
15,000: this included the "independ
ent vote, and that of many Republi
cans who voted for Governor Robinson.
This year the vote that was not cast
last year will c me out, and that is
Republican. The whole n w Presiden
tial vote will be cast, and that will Do
largely Republican. The whole "inde
pendent" vote will be Republican. The
protesting Republicans of laot year will
vote for Garfield, and there are some
thousands of Democrats who will hesi
tate to acknowledge Mr. John Keily as
supreme "boss." If to this is added the
universal disinclination to change, and
the distrust of the Democratic party
which the last three years have re
awakened. it is plain that the proba
bilities of success iu New York are
with the Republicans, who, for t'uia
election, have no internal difference
whatever.— ~iWeekly.
