EDITORS: —My mind has been perplexed with the following mathematical problem, which if you can aid in solving I will feel much obliged. It is this: If an unpopular candidate in a county beats another candidate for the tame office about 300 votes, how much would a popular can didate beat that same fellow ? By what rule of proportion can this be determined? Yours, &c., LKUENDRE. Question too hard. We give it up. COURT re-convened on Monday and took up the trial list where left off last week. As we go to press, the case of William S. Jack and others against John Pollock and others is on trial, being a case of some interest. A motion was made on Monday for a new trial in the case of McElwain vs. Kollerman, being the case of the dis puted ownership of a btolen horee. The motion was refused—this case, by the way, is a most singular one, two men claiming the same horse, which had been recovered from a thief, and each proving by many witnesses it was their property. It was a case of "mistaken identity" upon the part of one or the other party and was difficult to decide. Court will likely continue in session all week as several important cases are not yet reached. Judge McJunkin is presiding. FOURTH OF JULY. Another "Glorions Fourth" at band and no general demonstration in Butler. This has been the way for several years past.' But the good old method of celebrating the day is supplied by oar Sanday schools and beneficial so cieties of various kinds. We hope all may spend the coming Fourth in some patriotic and profitable manner. If no other way presents itself, get down and read the "Declaration of Independ ence." There will be no paper issued from this office next week, being the week of the Fourth. A due regard for "the day we celebrate" requiring the sus pension of all sach labor. COOP EES CON VEN TION. We were among those—and they were many—who did not believe there was any power to re-assemble the old Harrisburg State Convention for the purpose of nominating a Congressman at-Large in place of Thomas M. Mar shall, Esq., declined. We favored a new and united Convention, for rea sons manifest to all. And we still think the precedent now set is a bad one, and will prove so, unless the reso lution passed, looking to harmony in the party, is followed up in spirit and in fact. Many of the delegates to the old Convention, however, did not re turn to the oue of last Wednesday, 21st inst., 103 being absent, whose seats were either filled by substitutes or by persons who substituted themselves for the original delegates. An account of its proceedings will be seen iu another place. The candidate it named for Congressman-at-Large, Mr. Marriott Brosius, of Lancaster county, is a worthy and respectable gentleman, and while he does not come up to the standard of Mr. Marshall iu ability, aud d jos not, therefore, (ill bis place on that ticket in that reflect, yet he is a man of merit and moral worth. It will be seen by the proceedings that a resolution was passed suggesting and requesting that steps be taken to secure harmony in the party. This can only be done by the securing of but one State ticket. We believe this will yet be brought about. In fact we have but little doubt of it. It is a necessity, and all who do not now see It will before three months have passed. "STRAW* SHOW ETC:' THE saying is "That straws show which way the wind is blowing." As , a fact in nature this of course is true, j and it is equally true in politics. The I ' Straws'' may be big or little, but the i way they are pointing indicates the | direction the political wind is blowing. An old friend of ours is the j editor of t'ie Greensburg, Westmore land county, Pa., Tribune and Herald. He is also Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth under Col. M. S. Quay and Governor Hovt. Personally he is a good and very clever man. Political ly be has been Cameron, as all Repub licans holding office about Harrisburg heretofore have had to be. Last week we copied part of an article we found in his paper the Tribune and Herald we were pleased to see it. It was to the effect that our friend McAfee was tired of Don Cameron—believed that he, Cameron, "lacked knowledge of men," and was not a "wise, prudent and safe leader," —that he "did not consult the peoples' wishes or pay suffi cient difference thereto,'' and hence our friend McAfee announced that he was "convinced that a very decided majority of the Republicans of this State would prefer some one else who is more in sympathy with the masses,' ior their leader in the future. For this declaration of independence of the "boss" our friend McAfee is severely rebuked by the Harrisburg Telegraph, the personal and political organ of Senator Cameron. The Tri bune and Herald, however, retorts manfully, reiterates its charges as to Cameron's bad methods, and repudi ates his further management of our party affairs in this State. We con sider tbis a significant straw. To be sure there are many Republican edi tors in the State doing the same thing, and have been for some time past. But "bear in mind the position our friend of the Tribune and Herald occupies at Harrisburg, that of Deputy Secretary of the State, under Chief Secretary Quay and Gov. Hoyt. He is not say ing anything offensiva to these of course. No doubt he is but giving utterance to their views. We have reason to say that he is but expressing the feelings of Col. Quay and that henceforth Quay and Cameron are apart—hare dissolved partnership— and we regard this as the most favora ble ' straw" we bave yet noticed to ward the speedy dethronement of Don Cameron. In fact we consider his power in the State now at an end, save what he may have and get through the balance of President Arthur's administration of the Nation al Government. His methods were so coarse and dictatorial as to disgust all the leading minds of the State, and hence he is repudiated all around. Even many Stalwarts say they do not approve his ways and are not in favor of bis continuance in the Senate. When men like Quay begin to break the break will soon become general, and we predict the coming three months will show that the Republican party of Pennsylvania has freed itself from G'arueronism. This is really the only iesue or trouble in the party, and all good Republicans are uniting to free it of such odious and selfish tyranny as practiced by Don Cameron. Tbiel College. The ninth commencement of this young but rising institution, located at Greenville, Mercer county, Pa., was held during the past week The exer cises were unusually interesting and highly appreciated by the crowds of citizens and visitors who attended. According to the complete pro gramme of performances for this inter esting week, Tuesday evening was taken up with the Junior class. The afternoon of Wednesday was devoted to THE ADDRESS BEFORE THE LITERARY SOCIETIES. The speaker on this occasion was Hon. Samuel Griffith, of Mercer, Pa , who in bis usual pleasant manner discoursed on "Youth, its Duties and Rewards." The sentiments of the speaker called forth frequent applause from the audience, and the address was well received. * THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION held its annual meeting on Wednesday evening. There were two addresses viz : One on "Government," by Rev. G. L. Rankin, A. M., formerly of But ler, Pa., now of Alliance, O.; the other on "True Greatness," by Rev. J. O. Baker, A. M , of Erie, Pa. The great day of the week was Thursday A. M., the day of the SENIOR APPOINTMENTS. Nine young men, having passed through the full course of instruction and having sustained the usual thorough examination, were admitted to graduation. In their graduating speeches they certainly acquitted them selves well and reflected credit upon their alma mater. ORDINATION. On Thursday evening impressive services were held in connection with the ordination of candidates to the Ministerial Office. After an appropriate sermon by Rev. J. K. Melhorn, of Pittsburgh, Mr. 11. K. Shauor, of this county and Mr. R. 11. Durst, both hav ing taken a course of theology at the Seminary in Philadelphia, were solemn ly set apart to the work of the Chris tian ministry. Hev. Shanor has re cently been elected pastor of the Free port charge. Much business came Iwforc the [ Board of Trustees of this institution all of which had reference to the in creasing of its educational facilities. A location was determined for the pro posed new "Concordia Hall," u build ing greatly needed and which it is hoped, will soon occupy the place in dicated on the beautiful grounds of the College. We commend Thiel College to young men and women seeking a classical education. We know of no other in stitution that offers inducements equal to il, in the way of economy, and few colleges arc provided with a corps of teachers better qualified for their work. J. W. e fUttilje* P*., 3«tw 28, 1882. PROMISE OF PEACE. THE KE€ALLEI> COY VEX TIOX LEAVES THE WAV OPEX FOR HARWOW. MARRIOTT BROSIUS FOR CON GRESS. An Exciting Caucus, in Which the Question of Holding a Now Convention was Freely Discussed. From the Philadelphia Press.] HABBISBCRO, June 21.—The Con vention has achieved a far better work than it gave promise of tbis morning, for it has left the way open to a unifi cation of the party and calling of a new Convention and has nominated a can didate for Congressman-at-Large whose selection was not dreamt of a moment before it was made. Nothing was carried in pursuance of a programme, and this was not a scheme of the boss es that reached fulfilment. The task of the Convention was virtually per formed in caucus, and before the dele gates met in private meeting in the State Library no man knew exactly what would be the result of the delib eration. The advocates of a new Con vention presented their resolution, and their arguments were patiently listen ed to, but the feeling against the mode of procedure they favored was over whelming. The speeches made in re ply breathed defiance to Independent •defection. Some little hard feeling was induced, but the trouble found a pleasant ending by the offer and adoption of a resolution providing for the nomination of a Congressman-at- Large, and recommending the State Committee to adopt all honorable means of harmonizing the party so as to secure tl.e success of the Republican ticket. This being interpreted to mean that the State Committee could, if necessary, or desirable, call a new Convention, it met with almost unan imous approval. The work of the Convention itself was soon over. Lilly, Todd, Jacobs and Brosius were the candidates nam ed. A letter of declination was read from Grow. Lilly was favored of the bosses and his name was on the slate, but a sudden boom arose for Brosius, an able and eloquent Lancaster lawyer, and almost before he or the delegates knew it he had been made the candi date for Congressman-at-Large. He made a speech, somewhat funereal in tone, but that appeared in a better ' light when it was heard than it will when it is read, and then the Conven tion of May 10 had at last completed the object of its creation. CALLING FOR A NEW CONVENTION. Hon. William H. Jessup, of Susque hanna, in the caucus offered the follow ing: Resolved, That the State Committee when organized be requested to issue a call for a new Convention under the new rules to complete the State ticket, with full power to take such action upon the ticket already nominated as shall be for the best interest of the Re publican party in the State. Before a word of protest to this prop osition could lie entered, Mr. Jessup followed up its reading with a vigor ous, earnest speech in its behalf. There was no use, he said, in the del egates closing their eyes to the fact that serious differences existed in the Republican party; differences so great that the success of the ticket nomin ated is seriously imperilled. Such a disastrous result would be far-reach ing in its effects. These reasons, said Mr. Jessup, should impel every true Republican to seriously consider the situation and endeavor to find some remedy for the grievances of which the Independents complain, The charge was made that the action of the Con vention of May 10 was the work of one man. A SUBSTITUTE. D. B. McCreery, of Erie, offered as a substitute to the Jessup resolution the following: Resolved, That this Convention pro ceed to complete the ticket by the nomination of a Congressman-at-Large, and that we recommend the I Republi can State Committee to adopt all hon orable means to harmonize the Repub lican party so as to secure success in November. This was the resolution that finally opened the way for an escape of what promised to be an ugly snarl among the delegates. Sam Losch, of Schuyl kill, insisted on the substitute being divided so that he could vote against the latter part of it, but subsequently he was induced to withdraw his motion to that effect. The peace peo ple struggled against the adoption of the McCreery proposition. A. H. Steele, of Crawford, earnestly pleaded for a policy of conciliation, reading a long series of harmony resolutions, passed by the Crawford County Con vention, but the delegates loudly clam ored for a vote on the substitute. Garrett, of Delaware, stilled the tu mult for awhile. Having announced that he was no orator he made a very pretty plea for peace. "Garfield said in nominating Sherman in Chicago, that in the quiet homes of the men who did the voting were great politic al questions decided and not by high flown speeches. All the fine talk you may have here to-day will not aid in electing the ticket. The farmer and the mechanic think your methods have been wrong ayd you must convince them that the contrary is true." F. L Blackrnarr, another Crawford County man, argued forcibly, almost plaintively, for a new Convention, and in in fact so plainly d : d the Crawford County delegates talk that they were asked if thev proposed voting for the regular ticket. This query they met with a fervent affirmative. Delegate Jessup made another speech in behalf of his resolution and was replied to by Congressman Fisher,who said the cry of Cameronism would not be sup pressed by calling a new Convention. SENATOR NO&BIS INDIGNANT. Senator A. Wilson Norris, although neither a delegate or substitute, was present at the caucus. His name was called several times, and at last he bubbled over at some remark of Jes sup. ' While he speaks of the farm ers in the country and others of the , dissatisfied class," he said, his voice rising, as though with indignation, "he forgets that four-fifths of the party arc in the ranks; and have they no right to say what this Couyention shall do? Do you want us to say that we' are unfit to make nominations ? I, for one will not befoul my nest. This talk of 'machine' is all nonsense It refers to the methods inherited from Wayne, McVeagh and Aleck McClure." "That's a good reason why we should want to get rid of them," shout ed a big Western delegate. Considerable tumult followed this | Stalwart address, and the delegates were reaay to rush the substitute through, bat Jessup again got the floor and replied to the anpy Senator, after j which Marriott Brosius, of Lancaster, delivered a brief, temperate speech in a calming way that made a great im pression on tbe delegates, and that, as subsequent events proved, had great influence in shaping the course of the Convention. "I love my partv better than any wing or faction of it," said the Lancaster county lawyer, "and only less than I love my country, but I have not sympathized with the tone and temper of many of the speeches. I am willing to give way, to make con cessions, if harmony can be secured and victory gained. This substitute, however, ought to satisfy all good Re publicans. Some of us hope that a con tingency may arise that will make the way open to harmony, and that is pro vided for in tbe resolution. What more can we do? I hope something may turn up that will end all differ ences, and this substitute will enable anything to be done that should be done." Huey, of Philadelphia, asked if the McCreery substitute would not permit the calling of a new Couvention if the State Committee thought it advisable to do so, and the chairman replied in the affirmative. Under this expression of opinion Jessup withdrew his amend ment, and without further debate the substitute was adopted, the dissenting voices being three in number and feeble in utterance. After Colonel Taggart, of Northumberland, had been selected to preside over the Convention, the following resolution, offered by Colonel Wiestling, was adopted: Resolved, That in the event of any vacancy occurring on the ticket nomi nated by the Convention at its previous sitting, or on this day, the Republican State Committee be empowered to fill the same, after due call and sufficient notice being given to all its members. It was now after one o'clock, the time fixed for holding the Convention, and the delegates spurning all motions in delay, adjourned to meet forthwith in the Opera House. THE CONVENTION. They got together in quick order, finding bnt a small audience and a loud-voiced band to receive them. Jessup, of Susquehanna, named the Chairman, vieeJLear far away and in tending to stay, and in response the tall form of the genial Northumberland delegate appeared upon the stage. He made an amusing speech. The calling of the roll began the moment Colonel Taggart had set down, the delegates evidently being anxious to rush matters along and get out of town. The roll call revealed the fact that there were 227 delegates pres ent instead of 251 and of these seventy nine were substitutes, so that of the original delegates there were but 148 present. The call concluded, Brosius offered the resolution of the caucus, which was unaiymously adopted, and then began the naming of candidates. A. W. Liesenring, of Carbon, nomina ted Gen. William Lilly, of Mauch Chunk, Colonel J. P. S. Gobin, of Lebanon, named Marriott Brosius, of Lancaster. Thad. M. Mahon, of Lan caster, mentioned the name of General Lemuel Todd, of Cumberland. Henry S. Eckert, of Berks, put forward J. Howard Jacobs, Berks. Alexander Caldwell, of Northumberland, nomina ted Galusha A. Grow, of Susque hanna. Nesbit, of Blair, said he had a lettet from Grow in which he declined the nomination. Bunn seemed afraid to have the missive read, but Chairman Taggart, after carefully perusing it, and finding in it no seditious doctrines handed it to the Secretary who read it. Mr. Grow wrote that he was not a candidate for any political position. "Engrossed in my business affairs I have not the time had I the disposition to engage in State politics." THE BROSIUS BOOM. Mr. Brosius next rose to decline, and he did it so gracefully and modest ly that a great cry of 'No, no, no' went up from the Convention. His speech in the caucus and his words of decli nation bad made of Brosius the most popular man in the Convention, and the delegates who had not favored the Lilly scheme, turned toward the Lan caster County lawyer as though for relief. The assemblage was in an up roar, in the midst of which Colonel Gobin sprang to his feet, and in an im passioned strain, described the victory that would he achieved with a Lan caster County man and such a man on the ticket. McManes and Magee whispered together and then shook their heads approvingly; just as they did when the Marshall boom—it was not a boomerang until later on— struck the original convention. The Brosius boom had a start that made it resistless. The declining candidate dropped back into his seat with pale face and set teeth. The voting began and had not proceeded far when Bro sius' election was assured. Nearly all the Philadelphians voted for him. The balloting was conducted amid great excitement and resulted as fol lows : Brosius 161: Jacobs 29; Lilly 25; Todd 17. When the result was announced it was greeted with three rousing cheers ; then the unexpected candidate was lifted to his feet. He would not mount the stage, but from his place in the parquet circle he spoke slowly as follows : THE CANDIDATE'S SPEECH. Gentlemen of the Convention : A distinguished Frenchman, who was nominated to a seat in the academy, said that be felt that bis nomination was a premonition of early death, and what is worse he died within a week. In 18(51 a revolt against the consti tuted authority of the government reared its hydra head, and my coun try issued her call and I, a boy, heard it and although a boy I felt bound, as I loved my country, to respond to that call. [Cheers.] Eighteen years ago, on the field of Bermuda Hundred, 1 thouirht, perhaps, 1 had made a mis take in having responded to that call, and as I lay bleeding, expiring on that field, I thought mv life would soon end. I, however, was agreeably dis appointed. [Applause.] To-day the Republican party calls for the service of I her son again, and while my mind was made up positively, and I thought unalterably, when I asked permission to decline this nomination, yet when I saw the feeling actuating this Convention, and felt that it was . your desire that my name should ap-1 pear on the ticket. I heard with throbbing heart and ucbitrr brain the call, "Come to tbe front." [Prolonged applause ] I was willing before to sacrifice all I had, my life if necessary, ou the alter of my country; 1 must be willing to-day to lay all I have on that alter. I know this act is unwise in you. [Cries of "No! no !"] I fear you i have made a mistake, i have warned ! you in advance aud you can never shake jour gory locks at me, whatever the consequences. [Laughter.] You i can never shake your fingers at me • and say, "David thou ait the man ! that brought this upon us." Gentle- j men of the Convention, I hare nothing more to say, except that 1 bow to your command. (H ITEAU MUST HANG. The President an<l Cabinet KtTnxe i lie Appiieaiion for a lte*i>ile. WASHINGTON, June 24.—The Cab inet bas decided not to interfere with the sentence of Guiteau, and the At torney General this morning instructed the marshal of the district and the warden of the jail to keep the prisoner in strict confinement and allow no one to see him except his spiritual advisers, his physician and the officers of the jail. The Attorney General, to whom all the appeals and petitions presented to the President bearing on Guiteau case had been referred, submitted an elabo rate report to tbe Cabinet last eveniug, reviewing all the points presented in favor of a respite and recommending it be not granted, on the ground that the sanity of the prisoner had been fully established at the trial. The re port was generally discussed and unan imously approved by the Cabinet, al 1 the members of which were present. An understanding was reached that nothing should be disclosed as to the dicision of the Cabinet until after it should be made known to the prison er. Rev. Mr. Ilicks called upon tbe Attorney General this morning by ap pointment and was informed that the Cabinet had decided not to interfere with the execution of Guiteau's sen tence. Mr. Hicks thereupon drove to the jail and informed Guiteau of the decision. Guitean has sent the following mes sage to his spiritual adviser : "Re?. Mr. Hicks: Go and see Arthur and shake your fist in his face. Tell him I made him President by my inspiration and he must give me an unconditional pardon, and if he does not God Almighty will blast him for ever. I tell you brother Hicks, lam God's man, and God takes care of his own." The friendsof thecondemned man still profess hope. Mr. Reed says be does not despair and he will make another appeal to the President at the earliest opportunity. Dr. Reard left here for New York last evening, but is expec ted to return. Miss Chevallier will have a conference with Dr. Golding and Rev. Mr. Hicks this evening to determine upon their future action, with a view to obtain a stay of exe cution. Guiteau said this morning to the guard at his cell door that he was prepared to go, and would just as leave be hung to-day as to wait until Friday. At this time the news of the adverse decision on the petition for re spite had not reached the jail, but he did not seem to be in any way inter ested in the result. Rev. Dr. Hicks called about 12.30 and remained an hour. He informed Guiteau of the re sult of the efforts in bis behalf. This announcement did not seem to have a depressing effect upon him and he talked as cheerful as ever. He ex pressed some feeling because the Pres ident had referred the subject of his re spite to the Attorney Generl, saying President Arthur should have taken the responsibility himself, that he (the prisoner) had not appealed to the Cabinet but to the President, and as his act had made him such, it was the least the Presidcut could do to respite him for a short time till the case could bo heard in the Supreme Court of the United States. Ho then repeated that he was God's man and was in God's bands, and asked Dr. Hicks to be at bis side when he was hanged, saying that he would die for his inspiration, feeling that God would justify him in the other world. He had now no per sonal interest in the matter, but he felt for the nation that would suffer in the event of his being hanged. The window ou the east side of the south wing of the jail in which Gui teau's cell is located have been curtain ed to shut out the light. This morn ing the rope which is to be used in the execution was put up for the occasion. It is a fine piece of manilla, originally seven-eighths size, which has been stretched until it is now but three fourths size and is forty six feet Jong. After being laid out the ends were firmly bound with twine and the knot tied. At the same time the pinioning cords, of stout cotton twine, were pre pared. These are four in number, to tie the arms and hands behind his back, and are three or four feet respectively. The only preparation was cutting the cord in proper lengths, and carefully wrapping the ends. The death warrant which has been prepared by deputy clerk of the court, will be signed on Monday aud sent to Warden Crocker. The time designat ed for the execution is between the hours of noon and two P. M., June 30th, 1882. Mr. Reed, Guiteau's counsel, receiv ed a letter this morning from Mr. Sco ville, at Chicago, as follows: Charles Reed, Dear SIR: Please send the enclosed letter to Miss Chevallier as well as you can through the mail. Mrs. Scoville has gone East with Ber iha. I fear for both, for Mrs. S. will cer tainly attempt lives if her brother is hung, and possibly before if hope is lost. I hope they will watch and let me know by mail or telegraph as to their whereabouts. GEORQE SCOVILLE The effect of the news of the Cabi net dicision upon GuitCau was not in any way noticeable. He accepted it much after the manner of a man who had rather expected ill news and he made no suggestion as to the course to be pursued. The Warden says that he believes the assassin will not weak en, as he has indomitable nerve and indeed rather expected the execution. Ever since his sentence he has had less faith than those who have been working for him, and the expedients that have been adopted for his relief he has only looked upon as mere possi bilities which might result in his re prive. Ilis appetite is still good and while he recognizes the necessity of keeping himself occupied and his thoughts | from his approaching fate, it is evident that he will bear up to the end with much firmness. Mr. Reed says that he knows ol no other steps that can be . taken in the case, and will probably ! make no further move. Guiteau passed Suuday quietly. To Dr. Hicks, his spiritual adviser, and the only person allowed to visit him, he conversed quite cheerfully, reiterat ing his "inspiration" idea. During the interview, which lasted an hour and a haif, he said, "I am God's man and I can go to Heaveu to-morrow for that matter. I wouldn't mind being hanged right away. Whether the American people can afford to let me be banged, or whether they really de sire that I shall so die, is another ques tion." Dr. Hicks thinks Guiteau really desires to be hanged in private with no member of his family present, and he is waiting calmly for the day of ex ecution. The physical condition of the assassin has not changed much recent ly. He has probably lost a pound or two of flesh the past week, and his face has that haggard appearance usually noticeable in condemned crimi nals alter long confinement. John W. Guiteau telegraphed Presi dent Arthur Sat:—day asking to be heard in behalf of the for a commission of lunacy on his brother, and hopes to secure a hearing. He has prepared a mass of letters and facts touching the mental condition of Charles sines 18(55, which he will sub mit to the President in support of the application.
