BUTLER CITIZEN. JOHN H. & W. C. NEGLEY. PROP RS. E tie red at the PostofUce at liutler an second-class* matter. GuiTEAii's case came before the "Court iu Banc" on Monday. THIS morning, May 9. is quite spring like and warm rains have revived all things. REPUBLICAN State Convention to day; aGoyernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Judge of Supreme Court, Congress man-at-Large and a Secretary of In ternal Affairs are to be nominated. DR. MCGILL, of Freeport, is urged to become a candidate for nomination for the Legislature in Armstrong county, for the reason that more candi dates for that office in that county, than are announced, sceni to be de manded by the Republican voters of the county. THEBE will probably be no more candidates announced for nominations in this county this year, except per haps for Jury Commissioner, for which we hear mentioned some more names that may be announced. The canvass in the county thus far has pro gressed quietly and in good feeling, which we hope will be continued until June 3rd, the day of the primaries. THE Republicans of Mercer county, last week, placed in nomination the following ticket: Congress, Hon. S. H. Miller; Assembly, Levi Morrison, L. D. Bumpus and Andrew Robinson ; Poor Director, JamesSatterfield ; Jury Commissioner, jH. T. Van .Forn: Coroner, F. M. Temple. The delegates to the State Conven tion were instructed for Brown for Judge and Beaver for Governor. The Convention also passed a resolution favoring the passage by the Legisla ture of a Constitutional Amendment bill on the liquor question. COL. R. J. PHIPPS, of Clintonville, Venango county, who is connected with the Phillips Bros., in taking oil lease* in this county, is spoken of us a fa ! r and square man in all his transac tions. It has been the custom of many in taking oil leases to misrepre sent and to obtain leases "by hook or by crook," but we understand this is not the mode Col. Phipps pursues. Since he has been in the business of lease taking in this and other adjoin ing counties we understand he has leased about ten thousand acres, and never been charged with anything un fair or crooked in his so doing. THE STATE CONVENTION. The Republican State Convention meets to-day. We regard it as one of far more than ordinary importance to the party. Ttis arises from the pecu liar state of affairs existing in the party in this State. While the Republicans of the State generally have recognieed the Convention meeting to-day as the regular one, yet it is well known that another State Convention has been ar ranged for, to meet two weeks from this day. This forebodes two State Conventions and two Republican State tickets this year. The causes leading to this condition in the party are well understood and need not be repeated, further than to say, that it is a de termined effort to throw off and get clear of the one man power in the party of this State, known as Cameron ism. Seeing the danger ahead, an ef. fort was recently made to restore harmony re-unite the party. This led to the naming of a committee of five by each of the wings, to compose a conference. These committees met, held a conference, and have made a report, the result of which will be seen in another place. They made recom mendations to the Convention that meets to-day. If these recommenda tions are ratified to-day much will have been accomplished. Some of them go directly to the very root of the evil existing, and if, therefore, they are approved and adopted, they will be the rule and the guide for the party iu the future. They put every thing relating to State tickets aud State Conventions into the hands of the people. A.l candidates hereafter will have to spring directly from the people. No more slated tickets could be forced upon the party. All dele gates wiil have to be chosen by the people, and no more by mere County Committee#. The time for the hold ing of State Conventions is also pro vided for, u;.d a date suggested that will give all a full chance to be heard. No in >re snap judgments could be taken on the party, such as was done years ago, when the State Con vention was called to meet as early as in February and for the express pur pose of taking the State from Rlaine and giving it to Grant for the Presi dency. Other of the suggestions of the Conference Committee arc also good. And now the question is, will they be adopted by the Convention that meets to-day in llarrisburg? They are expressly referred to it an 1 ■must be acted on. There can be uo dodging or eyading these recommenda tions. If passed they will be the law unto the party hereafter, and bossism will have received not only a check but a rebuke. At,d if to this a good ticket be nominated—not all the slated ones—then success again will attend the party. It is, therefore, with anxie ty aud interest the eyes of all good Re publicans of the State are upon the proceedings of the Convention meeting to-day. Report of the Conference. The following i* the report of the Conference held in Philadelphia last week, composed of ( committees repre seuting the Cameron and anti-Cameron elements of the party. It will IH> seeu that the report is in the shape of reso lutions passed, making recommenda tions and referring them for adoption to the State Convention that meets in Harrisburg to-day. If adopted some of them will have, and ought to have, an immediate application to certain questions now pending at Washington. There is no mistaking who is meant in the first resolution that "unequivocally condemns the use of patronage to pro mote personal political ends." Nor of the second one that declares, "That competent and faithful officers should not be removed except for cause." These are plain intimations to Senator Cameron that his ways are not ap proved by the Republicans of the State, and that he is abusing his pow er as one of our Senators. The plan of settlement in detail is embraced in the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: BesJved, That we recommend the adoption of the following principles and methods by the Republican State Convention on May 10: 1. That we unequivocally condemn the use of patronage to promote person al political ends, and require that all offices bestowed within the party shall be upon the sole basis of fitness. 2. That competent and faithful offi cers should not be removed except for cause. 3. That non-elective minor offices should be filled in accordance with the rules established by law. 4. That the ascertained popular will shall be faithfully carried out in the State and National Conventions and by those holding office by favor of the party. 5. That we condemn compulsory as sessments for political purposes and proscription for failure to respond either to such assessments or to requests for voluntary contributions, and tha* any policy of political proscription is un just and calculated to disturb party harmony. 6. That public office constitutes a high trust, to be administered solely for the people, whose interests must be paramount to those of persons or parties, that it should be invaribly con ducted with the same efficiency, ecouo mv and integrity as are expected in the execution of private trusts. 7. That the State ticket should be such as, by the impartiality of its con stitution and character and acknowl edged fitness of the nominees, will just ly commend itself to the support of the united Republican party. Resolved, That we also recommend the adoption of the following perma nent rult'S for holding State Conven tions and the conduct of the party: 1. Thr.t the delegates to the State Convention shall be chosen in the man ner in which candidates for the Gener al Assembly are nominated, except in Senatorial districts composed *f more than one county, in which conferees for the selection of Senatorial delegates shall be chosen in the manner afore said, aud the representation of each county shall be based upon its Repub lican vote cast at the Presidential election next preceding the Convention. •2. Hereafter the State Convention of the Republican party shall be held on the second Wednesday of July, except in a year of the Presidential election, when it shall be held not more than thirty days previous to the day fixed for the National Convention, and at least sixty days notice shall be given of the date of the State Conven tion. ■ 3. That every person ivbo voted the Republican electoral ticket at the last Presidential election next preceding any State Convention shall be permitted to participate in the election of delegates to the State and National Conventions, and that we recommend to county or ganizations that in their rules they allow the largest freedom in general participation in the primaries consist ent with the preservation of the party organization. [Signed] M. S. QUAY, J. F. HARTRANFT, THOMAS A. COCHRAN, HOWARD J. REEDER, C. L MAGEE. On the part of the Republican State Committee appointed by Chair | man Cooper. CHARLES S. WOLFE, I. D. MCKEE, FRANCIS B. REEVES, WHARTON BARKER, J. W. LEE. On the part of Senator Mitchell's Independent Republican Committee. The following resolution was adopt ed by the joint conference. Resolved, That we disclaim' any authority to speak or act for other persons than ourselves, and simply make suggestions, as in our opinion essential to the promotion of harmony and unity. It will be noti.ed that one of the above recommends that hereafter all delegates to State Conventions be ele ted by the body of the party in a county. This alone, if carried out. cannot fail to effect a great reform. It will bring every question and issue before the people and the delegates chosen cannot well misrepresent the then existing sentiment of their eounty as to any candidate or measure. The Smallpox Epidemic. WASHINGTON, MAY s.—lt appears from a careful examination of the sta tistics of the recent smallpox epidemic that both the late epidemic and that of several years ago originated in one of the districts of Philadelphia. It is claimed that the disease had never been wholly eradicated, and that the germs with tavoring circumstances be came reactive. The Board of Health in discussing the epidemic at Bethle hem claim that every particle of wool en goods in any infected house should be destroyed by fire, and that the only thoroughly effective method of prevent ing recurrence would be the destruc tion of furniture and everything else that came in contact with the disease. This they claim should be done by public authority, aud the parties should be indemnified out of the State Treasury, regarding the measure one of public safety. The disease is not now known to exist in any part of the country in an epidemic form. HwfcljMc fS«.» iltay XtX» IBS 2. F.HMterii Conlerenee of I lit' I'itlslHi i-gli Synod ot tbe liuglifcli iaitlierun f'biireli. The Eastern Conference of the Pittsburgh Synod of the English Lutheran Church convened at Zelieno ple, Butler county, Pa., Tuesday, May 2, 18*2, at 9 o'clock, A. M The Pres ident, Uev. J. 11. A. Kitzmiller, con ducting the opening service. Reports of the condition of the churches, given by the pastors of the different charges, were very favorable. The programme consisted largely in the discussion of practical questions that enter into the doctrine and life of the church. Of these questions the first was tie Lord's day—its institution and obser vance. Despite the common opinion, held largely by the opponents of the church, that the Lutheran church re garded the Lord's day of no divine authority, but merely a human insti tution, the observance of which was no more necessary than the observance of Christmas, Good Friday or Assension day ; it was established that the con fessions of the church and the writings of the reformers, taught that the Lord's day was established by divine authori ty, and that the moral and religious teachings of the old Sabbath apply with equal authority to tbe Christian Lord's day. The" worldly employ ments and enjoyments so commonly indulged in at present, were condemn ed as transgressions of God's positive law. The success ot the Sunday school was the second theme. Many of the prevailing ideas of such success, were condemned as low, false and ruinous. Over against these the success attained through teaching—not history—-not good stories and such sentiments, but truth, such a success was emphasized as the only success. Church government, as a conserva tor of church doctrine, was the third theme discussed. Discipline was re garded not as a convenience but as a necessity. It was the positive duty of the chnrch to enforce discipline, whenever required. The pastor and his council are not at liberty to pass the matter over in special cases. All Israel suffered—so long as Achan's sin was unpunished. Better ten grains of wheat than ten bushels of tares; better a handful of pearls than a sea full of pebbles. Under the topic catechigation, it was conceded that children should be instructed and led on in the way of the truth, rather than suffered to grow up in the admonition of Satan, to be converted in after life A course in the school of sin was in no way es sential to great attainment in holiness —rather was it detrimental to great holiness. Butler was selected as the next place of meeting. In regard to vacant congregations it was resolved that Saxon and Sarversville congregations be referred to Rev J. Q. Waters for supply until the meeting of Synod ; that Freeport and St. Matthew's con gregations be referred to the president of conference for supply ; that the con gregations constituting the Crooked Creek charge be referred to Rev. J. Sarver, of Leechburg, for supply ; that Jerusalem congregation be referred to Rev. J. H. Kline. The hospitality of the good people of Zelienople was both general and generous and highly appreciated by every guest. G. W. C. [For want of space we have had to cut the above down a little.— ED.] PoriersviJle Items. Mr. Ramsey, of Harlensburg, Law rence county, is building a large store house in Portersville, on the old lot that A. H. Aiken, Esq. once owned and bad a store on until burned down some years ago. Mr. Jacob Pisor has received from "Uncle Sam" his pension and bought the lot that John L. Jone3 once own ed, paying $1,500 for it. He drew $1,920 of a pension, a strong illustra tion of the patriotism and Jitgraljty of our government A rather singular case of lightning occurred near here on April 19, last. There was a tree stood two rods from the corner of Mr. 's barn. Six feet from the tree there was a straw stack, and one rod from it there was a hay stack. On that evening a young lady went out to milk and had got upon a fence, near the tree, waiting for the cows to come up. She was on the fence but a minute or so before the tree was struck by lightning and torn into pieces, the pieces being thrown in every direction for a distance of ten or fifteen rods, and yet strange to say, neither the girl, the stacks or the barn were injured She experienced a shock for a moment and got off and away from the fence just before a large piece of the tree fell upon it, where she had been sitting. OLD FRIEND. Nine Persons Poisoned Near Pitlsbu rgli. PITTSBURGH, May 3.—Nine persons are dying in a house in Lawrenceville, one of the suburbs of this city, to-night, from poison. The affair is as singular es it is horrible, and, at this time, only a few details are known with any ac curacy. A negro named Nulton Frye bought a quantity of some kind of poison yesterday, and gave i* to a young colored girl named Watkins to bo used by her on the family of Mrs. Reynolds, for whom Miss Watkins works. What the poison was is not known, but it was mixed up with some biscuits, which were made bv the Watkins woman this morning, and these biscuits were eaten to-night at supper by nine persons who belong to the Reynolds family or board in the house. They soon became ill and their illness became so alarming that several physicians were called iu and antidotes were administered and ev ery available means was tried of sav ing the uufortunates, but their efforts seem fruitless, except in one case. A Trial Kiidiiig In A Wedding SUNBURY, PENX., May3.—The trial of James Quinn, accused of assault, ended in an unusual manner this morning. Sarah Ileaton, tho victim of the assault, a girl of fourteen years, refused to testify. The entreaties of her father, mother and friends availed nothing, and when informed by the Judge that she would have to go to jail if she persisted in her tefusal to testify, she said she preferred that to sending the prisoner to the peniten tiary. The prisoner thereupon propos ed marriage to the girl, business was suspended, a Justice was called in, and the couple were united iu wedlock. The Judge then instructed the jury to bring a verdict of not guilty, which wts done. Assassination in Ireland. L'.NIM.N, Mas —A t dispateh from Dublin Lord Frederick Cavemlisli tin' now Secretary for Ireland. au<l Karl Spencer had remained at I)ul»lin I Castle engaged in the transaction of j official business until G o'clock this evening, when each drove to his respective residence. After diuner Lord Frederick and Mr Thomas Henry Jiurke, Under Secretary, went for a walk in Pha-nix Park. They were shot close Jo the Chief Secre tary's lodge. No arrests have been made. A later telegram from Dublin says it no.w appears that Lord Caven dish and Under Secretary Burke were stabbed and not shot. They were both strolling in the park about half a mile from the city gate, and a quarter of a mile from the Chief Secretary's lodge, when a car drove up containing four men, two of whom jumped down from the car and attacked Lord Fred eric Cavendish and Mr. Burke, stab bing them both several times in the throat and breast. The victims strug gled hard for life and in the struggle became separated, their bodies being found some ten paces apart. The tragedy occurred about ten min utes after seven o'clock in the evening, and in broad daylight. The bodies were first discovered by two young gentlemen who were riding bicycles through the park, and who immediate ly gave the alarm to the police. Surgeons soon reached the spot, but police were there already conveying Burke's body away to the town, where an examination showed life was ex tinct The upper part of the body was perforated in shocking manner, and presented a ghastly sight. Pro ceeding further the medical men reach ed the body of Lord Frederick Caven dish, which was being conveyed away from the park on a stretcher. The body of the Chief Secretary displayed some dreadful wounds, in addition to which bis left arm was also broken and torn, as if he had put it up to protect his breast. Lord Frederick Cayendish was quite dead The bodies were taken to Stevens' Hospi tal, where they will remain until the inquest is held. The locality of the tragedy is terri bly marked with blood. The spot where the body of Lord Frederick Cavendish lay was absolutely deluged, while Burke's body lay in a pool of blood. It is said thai after the act the murderers immediately drove off. There seems to be no clue to the as sassins at present, but the police are t iking the most extraordinary meas ures to discover the perpetrators. A quantity of notes and gold coin, be sides their gold watches, were found in the pockets of the victims, whip|i showed that tho objeot of the crime was not robbery. (Jreat excitement prevails through Dublin and widespread indignation is expressed over the event. The tele graph officers are besieged for the latest news. Owing to the lateness of the hour of the arrival of the news in London nothing of the outrage is as yet known here among the general public. A BLOODY BATTLE. DENVER, Col., May 3. —Tho Re publican's special from Santa Fe, of May 2d, says; The following dis patch was received here at midnight i "A column of Mexican troops to-day under command of Colonel Garcia, met the Indians Colonel Forsytlie is in pursuit of, and killed seventy-eight of them, also taking thirty-three pris oners.' The courier bringing this informa tion from Deming arrived on foot, being pushed so hard bv the Indians, he had to abandon his horse, barely escaping with his life, lie reports about 100 Indians between Deming and Tresjouinas. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 3. —lt is positively stated that in a fight on the 2!) th inst., between Mexicans under Colonel Garcia and Loco's Band, the Indians lost seventy-eight killed, and all their stock. Loco was killed and thirty-three Indians taken prisoners. The-Mexicans' loss is stated att »venty seven killed and wounded. This in formation is from a reliable source, and if confirmed may bo regarded as a death blo\y to the present outbreak which has resulted so disastrously to Arizona and New Mexico. Careful summary shows a total of 141 whites and Mexicans killed by Indians during the past two weeks. Five hundred head of stock killed and captured aud the destruction of over §75,000 worth of property. DEFENSELESS CITIZENS. LARAMIE CITY, May 3.- -Acting under recent orders the troops at Fort Washakis have been compelled to leave the post, and there being no provision made for defense the women aud children at the post are now fear ing a general massacre at any mo ment by the Indians. Civilians are arming themselves to protect the post, but is feared that they would not be able to withstand the Indians, who are greatly excited over the killing of Ute Jack. THE Sullivan-Jackson case is not vet settled. The prospects favor Sul livan. Only two persons in Millers town, Butler county refused to sign petitions favoring the retaining of Sul livan, one of whom was an office hol der and feared the bosses wouldn't like it.— Parker Phoenix, May 5.
