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]

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.

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.

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.
