AN hour or two at the camp meet ing last Sunday enabled us to hear a sermon in the woods, a prayer by a lady, and some of the peculiar singing of our Methodist brethren. Everything about the camp looked comfortable and order ly. One new feature we observed, that of a family having their cow with them, for fresh miik purposes, which we thought a sensible one. The camp broke up on Monday night of this week with the usual march around it and the usual parting ceremonies. CAPITALISTS in the oil region pro pose to utilize the gas which flows from wells in the oil belt, which is nearly two hundred miles square. Some of these wells have been flowing steadily for over Gfteen years, and the supply is practically inexhaustible. Among the large number of wells there are several, from either of which the city of Philadelphia could be light ed and heated. It is intended to con vey this gas to the principal cities in pipes, which it is claimed can be done at a much less cost than gas can be manufactured. TIIE practice of levying assessments, for political campaign purposes, on all clerks and other employees of the Gov ernment, down to the very lowest of them, is perhaps the most demoralizing and degrading feature of our present party politics. It is being practiced in this State now, notwithstanding both of the Republican State Conventions in May last passed resolutions against it. It can never be justified. The money thus raised from poor clerks, e'c., is generally for corrupt purposes, and is paid by them on compulsion, and under fear of dismissal from office in case they do not comply. An article on the subject from the Philadelphia Press will be seen in another place. COMIXCTCO OR TS. The regular September Term of our Court commeuces next Monday, September 4. By the jury lists pub lished in another plaee it will be seen it is to continue for three weeks, right along. On the first week the Grand Jury only will lie ia session for the purpose of hearing new bills and con sidering such other matter as may come before it. For the second week, comiucucing Sept.il, traverse jurors are summoned and the trial of cases, principally criminal, will be had. These cases embrace old ones on the docket and new oues found by the Grand Jury of the week before. Arguments on pending rules, exceptions, motions, etc., will also be heard this week, as well as new petitions, motions, etc. The third week, commencing Sept. 18, is a special Comt for the trial of civil cases. It will tbu3 be seen that many of the people of the county will be brought to Butler during thes»<* three weeks of Sept. Courts The County Agricultural Fair coming oil' on the third week (Sept. 11), 20 and 21,) will add to the interest and number of people who may then be expect ed. It is always a pleasure to us to sec the people of this county thus coming together, renew ing old and making new aequintanees, one with another. There is another reason tbat always pleases us when Court comes. Many oJ cur patrons live in the out townships and towns of the county, and these very generally call to f(C us if attending Court as jurors or otherwise. And, if not, com ing themselves, they embrace the opportunity of sending in their arrears on the paper, or part of it, by some neighbor who is coming in. We are living in the hope of seeing or bearing lroui many such old friends and subscribers, during the coming I jSeptedibcr Term of Court. CONFERENCE. The Conferees of this Congressional district, liutler, Crawford and Mercer counties, are now in session at Green ville, Mercer county, having by an agreement between the candidates, as sembled there on yesterday evening, Tuesday 29th iust. Of course we have none of the proceedings as yet, but have reason to believe that har nionv will prevail aud a nomination satisfactory to tbo district finally be ma le. The rights of our county to the present nominee will be duly urged and we hope to fee duly ackuowledged. Mr. McJunkin has appointed to rep resent him in the Conference, the fol lowing Conferees: C. \\ alker, Esq., Chairman County Committee; A. L. Craig, Esq., ex-Chairman County Committee, and Dr. R. H. Pillow, member of the County Committee, of the Second ward, Butler. FIGHTING IN EGYPT. Fighting between the British and Egyptian forces commenced on last Thursday and continued Friday, Sat urday and Sunday. Ihe first battle was for the position of a fresh water da;n or canal that was esesntial to the wants of the British troops. Accounts conflict at to the result, but the general news, bv telegraph, gives the victory to the English, although it is admitted that Arabi's soldiers fought bravely aud well. The English had to march through the deep de.sert sands peculiar to that country. The accounts of this first encounter remind one somewhat of the first engagements between the Union and Kebel forces of the late re bellion. To keep up with the interest of this war in Egypt the maps should be consulted for the localities andnamc3 of towns, etc. These often have a diffi cult selling. During the late Russian, Turkish war we had to learn a good deal of the geography of those countries and now it will bo interesting to turn our attention to old Egypt, whose peo ple, we presume, think they are ngaia afflicted with plagues woree than frogs or lice—the British. Kick Out llie Assoasweui Col- lectors. Philadelphia Press, Aug. 24.] The Republican party has no easy task ia the preseDt compaign. It is divided in this State, it may be in New York, ia Ohio it confronts a great social ques vion, aud in every State in the Union it has special difficulties to face. Its control of the nest Federal House has been challenged by the blunders of its Speaker, the bad management of Con gressional committees and an extrava gance in which both parties shared; but for which there is a grave dajjger onlv one party will pay the penalty. Atsuch a juncture, to insult the moral sense of the country aud estrange its own independent vote by cbasiug down unpaid assessments in Depart ment. corridors at Washington is one of those political blunders which ap proach the weakest of all crimes—su icide. Yet this is what the Congressional Campaign Committee is doing. Vol untary, unsought contributions for party purposes from office-holders are likely for years to come to have an evil savor, so far has the machine by its exactions degraded free citizens in their country's service. Partisan as sessment circulars arc bad enough; but the inquisition of the assessment list and the personal pressure of a "stand and deliver" at a Department desk are outrages for wh*ch the Republican party may suffer; but for which it is not responsible- It opposes them. In this State and in New York it has solemnly condemned them in its plat form ; through the country the great majority of its members are opposed to assessments, and the Congressional highwayman who are treating as party loot the salaries paid out of public tax ation are destroying and degrading a party which they could never have created, and which under their policy would never hare existed. For this is the double political crime involved in the compulsory collection of party assessments. They involve the assump tion that public office is not a public trust, but a party perquisite, a reward for party service, held on party fealty, and they assume additional treason to free institutions that a great party can support itself only by levying toll on taxation, direct or indirect, and cannot depend on free popular support. Not by such aid nor on such a theory did the Republican party early succeed. It will fail now if it relics upon them. Arguments of this order do not ap peal to many of the men at this bad business; but they should be persuad ed by the simple fact that every man engaged ia rt is injured by it. Civil Service Reform in not jet a "stand or fall'' question in this country. We are not, on the whole, inclined to think it evee will be. But it is already, beyond all peradventure, an issue on which public men must stand right or they suffer thereby. Year by year a bad record on this point is coming to be damaging to an Administration or a public man. Politically, assessments are a bad inyesUnent They do not pay; and while we are particularly anxious that the Republican party shall not be put through bankruptcy to demonstrate the fact, we are also anxious that Republican leaders shall Hot endanger their future, o; - a Repub lican administration vreck its record, by collecting assessments or enforcing their collection. A genuine service will be done the hopeful Republican leaders on the Congressional Commit tee if their collectors are kicked out of the Departments, and the scandal ceases out of the land. Nor can the Administration do more for itselt than by doing right ia this matter. One class, it is true, will always be in favor of assessment—the thieves and strik* ers. It is not, of course, true that every man in favor of assessments is a thief; but every thief is in favor of assessments. Dorscy, we know, be lieves in them, and probably every man indicted with him does, too. We advise President Arthur to be on the other side I iisiira nee. Geo. W. Shaffer, Agent office with K.

POLITICAL POINTS. \uit-K ol IVIiMI I lie »»ariie* and arc I>i»lns ami Ki«.ting In Peun'a. THE Administration has illustrated the beauties of Stalwart government in the appointment of the new pension clerks Of the forty-five apportioned to Pennsylvania, fifteen, or one-third of them, were appointed by Senator Cameron and none by Senator Mitchell. Vet oue of these gentlemen is as much the representative of the people of the Stale as the other. The rule seems to be that no Independent need apply.— Huntingdon Journal, Rep. THE Pennsylvania State League, an organization of colored men, met at Williamsport last Tuesday week. Wil liam Nesbit, its President, was indors ed for the Assembly nomination by the Republicans o! Blair county. Wil liam I). Forten, from the Committee on Business, presented an elaborate ad dress to the people of Pennsylvania in behalf of the Republican party, and pledging th> League to "the hearty support of General Beaver and the rcgu'ar Republican ticket." At a mass meeting in the ev.ning General Bei ver delivered an address. GE.NERAT. BEAVER has not yet re plied to Senator Stewart's challenge to discuss the political situation on the stump. General Beaver can accept the proposal aud strengthen himself in the contest. It will afTord him a splendid opportunity to assure the people that, if elected, he will not pros titute his ottice to prolong boss rule in the State. Such a declaration will enthuse the thousands of Republicans opposed to the machine, but who feel under obligation to support the regular ly nomioated candidate. Such a course would weaken his opponeuts aud strengthen himself. A failure to ac cept would be construed as a refusal to define his position as between the ma chine and the people and would be a niiscake. — Mercer Republican. CANDIDATE (jREfcR QiVKS lifS VIEW'S OF THE I'OSIXION. The usual dearth of news prevailed at the headquarters of the several State Committees yesterday. Chairman Cooper, of the Stalwarts, professed an Utter ignorance of any fresh- novelties in his pjcijliar branch of the political campaign, s.od the only thing of im portance that could be obscryed in his office was the systematic process of mailing the "Life and Services" of candidate Beaver throughout the State. A noticeable feature of this great act of the Regular Republican Committee was comprised in the fact that the books sent yesterday were mainly di rected to the clergymen of different de nomination in sj|l the cities and towns of the Commonwealth. Fe;v promi nent visitors were announced as having called during the day; but as Hon. John M. Greer, the candidate for Secre tary of Internal Affairs left the sjde of Chairman Cooper after a long consul tation, he was accosted by a Press re porter. When questioned as to his knowledge of the campaign Mr. Greer was as ignorant, to all appearance, as if he had been asked leading questions in regard to the African desert- now protected by Arabi Pacha. "My dear sir," quoth the candidate, "I have traveled very little through the interior counties and cannot speak of my own knowledge concerning them or the vote they will cast in November. I hear, though"—added Mr. Greer, and there he stopped as if he bad lost all sense of sound or speech. An impatient move.- ment of a frieud, who twitched his sleeve, recalled the attention of Mr. Greer to the sense of touch and recol lection. "1 am in a hurry to leave town, but I can tell you from personal observation that in Cambria, Jefferson, Indiana, Westmoreland, Armstrong, Washington aud Mifflin counties the Independent ticket will poll very few votes, much less than they had cast for Wolfe a year ago. In Blair county they may get 500 votes aud no more, and our friends up there are positive that they will not get 300. Give them 500, yes, 500 votes," added Candidate Greer, as he hurriedly walked out Chestnut street in the direction of the Broad-street station of the Pennsylva nia railroad. At the Democratic Headquarters Chairman Ilensel was announced as absent on duty at the Grangers' meet ing in William's Grove, and Secretary lyirtner had nothing to say. "No news, no nothing," was his rejoinder to the stereotyped question. "Only I understand that Ilensel has pope to join Beaver, Stewart and the other Grangers at their camp fire." At the I ndtpendent headquarters Secretary pleasantly said : "It is the satue old story—.nothing to publish."—Phil adelphia Preyn, Awj. CAMPAIGN AMMUNITION. 1. Four hundred and tweutv-two persons were appointed to clerkships in the Pension Bureau last week. There was uot the slightest attempt made to observe any civil service re form rules. The appointments were apportioned among the States and then among the Senators and Repre sentatives of each State. Senator Cameron, of course, got a big slice. He named eighteen out of Pennsylva nia's quota of forty-one. John L). White, one of the 300 and a Congress man, of Kentucky, the man that led the Kentucky delegation to vote thirty six times for Grant, named twenty-one out of the twenty-four appointments given to that State. This most inde cent and demoralizing distribution of plunder is made in open and shame less violation of every public pledge of the Republican party for many years, aud ia as open and shameless violation of the pledges of the Presi dent of the United States. Senator Cameron's part in it shows just how much regard he has for the platform of his c >nve itioa. 2. A Mr. Stover of Bucks county, has just been appointed Assistant In ternal Revenue Colkc.orin his county. He went, to Harrisburg pledged for | Major Brown for Supreme Judsre. Cameron "saw" him and when his vote was needed for Ravvle, Rawle got it. On his way home from the Convention, he announced that he was going to be a candidate for Slate Sen ator, and said Cameron promised if he was nominated to put "lots of money into the light." But the Republicans of Bucks gave Mr. Stover very plainly to understand that he could not be Senator. He told Cameron that it was useless for him to try to be nom inated, and Cameron had his newly made Collector, Pollock, make Stover / his assistant. Thus are the venal re- ! warded for the treachery to the peo-1 pie whom they are chosen to represent. It ought not to be necessary to ask an Independent after this exhibition what i he means when he demands the aboli- f tion of the t-poils system. I h'.s is a fair sample of the working of that sys- , tern. — Ex. LOCAi, REPUBLICAN* POLIVY. There seems to be an effort to further complicate the relations of the ; Republican party with itsel! by in troducing the State issue iuto local mattes. There are hotheads and imprac ticable men iu all parties, aud enough of that sort to shipwreck any organiza tion if permitted to rule. But to the impracticables who affiliate with j either wing of the Itepublicau party is added the lull strength ol the wreckers, | which is not inconsiderable. In a ' conflict like this there is only one : right course for men to pursue who de i sire to purify and not to destroy their | party. This class of men probably j constitutes two-thirds of the mass of j the Republican party, aud it is to men I who have not set cut to destroy the j party that we address this expostula tion. Unhappily, as it seems to us, the in dications are not particularly favora ble to an accommodation, though an accommodation may be reasonable stated as a possibility at any time within six weeks. We assume the contrary, and regard it the belter wis dom to prepare for a thi k-and-thin fight until the votes are cast. In such a case the result must be reckon ed doubtful even by the most san guine. But whatever doubt there maybe as to the result iu the State, there ought not to be two opinions as to the policy to be pursued iu the several counties. The local organiza tions of the party must be preserved at all hazards. Whoever advocates the carrying of this disgraceful quarrel into the campaign for local officers in the several counties simply seeks the destruction and not the purification of the party. There is no real issue dividing the party in the State which can wisely or prudently be extended to local action. It is the duty of hotp faptions tQ nnite for local pur poses, eyeu while they separate on the State canvass. We see that the wreckers are calling upon the Inde pendents to resist ail efforts to make the local campaigns on common ground. They are urged to draw the lines rigidly in every township. They are told to claim everything, and stand by the claim to the end. Of course nc who desires the maintenance of the Republican party anywhere indulges iu such exhorta tions. Aud it makes no difference • w 'h£ urces such a suicidal policy; is wteckei'S qr impracticable Stalwarts and Independents, the ob ject is the same in every case, whether the exhorters are aware of it or not. gticb advice as we have to offer is in direct opposition to thq.t. For we re gard the local organizations or the party as the seed upon which the gen eral welfare of the pjirtv depends for increase. While we do not sdvocate an abandonment of the struggle in the the State, we are entirely convinced that defeat in the State is less to be de plored than defeat in detail. We may suffer defeat in the State aud even in the Nation, yet if our local organiza tions are preserved iutu,:t we shall have the means to organize victory in both State and Nation. Whatever else the Republican party may con clude to do, we hope they will not suf fer this quarrel to weaken the local or ganisations in the least. Stand to gether in the counties and townships, and let the battle rage over the divid. ing questions at large if you will. Be ware of false counselors and knaves. —Philadelphia North. American. '2 he Three Coiiffressional Candidates Appoint a Conference* From theTitusvifle Herald, Aug. "2's] lion. S. 11. Miller, of Mercer, Rep resentative in Congress from this (the Twenty-sixth) Congressional district, ancl Hon. J. D. McJunkin, of Butler, arrived in town yesterday, to meet Senator Roberts for a mutual confer ence, to agree upon and fix the time and place for holding the Republican Congressional Conference, in this dis trict. It did not take long to discover that each of the candidates had con siderable private business of his own to attend to and each seemed desirous to arrive at as early a solution as pos sible of the question whiab was to be settled by the Conference, to-wit: which one should be the Republican nominee in this district. Finally, after referring to the calendar, and railroad time-tables, and then their list of engagements, it was mutually agreed and determined to hold the conference on Tuesday next, the S'.'tli of August, at 4 l'. M , at the National Hotel, Greenville, Pa. The names of the Conferees have not, as vvc learn, been selected as yet, and probably can not be announced till it is ascertained ! by correspondence or consultation who can serve. After disposing of the bus iness on hand, the party took a car riage and visited Senator Roberts' farm iu the suburbs. In the evening Mr. McJunkin took the train for home. Mr. Miller remained all night and will start early this morning to rejoin his family, who are at the lake. During their brief stay a number of citizens renewed their acquaintance with Mr. Miller, and congratulated him on the way he had acted his part as the Representative iu Congress from this district. Mr. McJunkin, who was formerly the representative in the Leg islature from Venango county, is no stranger here, personally or by repu tation for worth. The meeting of these rivals was cordiai and harmo nious in the highest degree, and we have only this to regret—that Titus viile was not named as the place of conference, for the Doctor's powers of entertainment are well known.

The sessions of the Fortieth Con vention of the Pittsburgh Synod of the English Lutheran Church com:: caced at Wheeling, West Va , on the 23d irst There were 77 ministers of the church present, with a large number of Lay delegates. Iu the Wheeling Intelli gencer of the 24th inst., we find the following among other of the proceed ings: ' The attendance at the Synod, both on the part of the ministers and the delegates of the churches, is quite large, although Wheeling is on the extreme of the Synod territory. A marked feature in the opening liturgical ser vices was the singing of the "(iloiia in Excelsis," iu which the voices of so large a number of males completely filled the church with a grand volume of song After the reading ol the scripture lessons and the reverential repetition of the "Apostles' Creed" the retiring President read the annual re port ol his official acts and the principal events in the churches of the Synod during the past year. The extract from the report will be read with inter est : The Synod was opened by President Key. W. A. Pa«savant, D. f) , h> using the order for morning service as given in the church book. Iu the abseuce of the Germau Secretary, Rev. J. A .1 Zahn was chosen Secretary pro /> n> while Key. J. Q. Waters, English Secretary, occupied his chair. Following this, came the Presidents annual report, of which we give ex tracts. The report was received aud referred to a committpi). Fathers and Brothers: Through the loving kindness of our God, we a.e again permitted to meet in convention. The past year, whi :h has been oue of unusual mortality in many Synods, has passed over us without the death of a single pastor. It has been a time of comparative peace, and walking in the fear of the I.jrd, and the comfort of the Holy Ghopt; it has b.eeu a year of ingathering, of growth and establish ment; with few exceptions, churches have bad their stated services. An in creasing church consciousness has been manifested in the erection of churches, the securing of pastors' houses and the support aud endowment of the college. A new interest has been awakened in missions: ou every side there is en couragement, activity aud hope. A courage born of hope has taken the place of despondency, and the outlook for the future is inspiring. The speak er then reviewed the good done the past year, and what was iu store fur the future. The address was a mas terly effort, and was listened to with strictest attention. It showed that it had feceiyed careful attention in its preparation. Among the items of information was the ordination of Messrs H. Iv. Shanor aud R. R. Durst, of the Theological Seminary, who have since accepted calls from churches; the dismission of the Revs. A. K Kinnard and J. Rochsteiner to sister Lutbern Synods ; a long list of resignations, removals and installations; the laying of five cornerstones; the consecration of five new churches ; organisation of a num ber of congregations, and some mat ters of ecclesiastical dicipliue which must necessarily come before the body at this session. Revs. Whittaker and Kholer and and Mr. F. M. King- were appointed tellers to conduct tbe election, who subseqeuntly reported, after several ballots, the result as follows : Presi dent, Rev. Edmund Belfour, of Pitts burgh ; English Secretary, Kev. .J. rt for the churches. As this is of paramount in terest we give the report. Your Committee recommend, (A.) That each Pastor preach, if possible, once a month upon some topic connect ed with the life and work of Luther, and by addresses, lectures, etc., use ali diligence to make our people thorough ly acquainted with !he history,missions, schools, literature, etc., of the Evangel ical Lutheran Church. (u) That the 10th of November, the jOQ anniversary of Luther's birth, bo observed witlj special services and thanksgivings; that Uod's special providences in preparing Luther for his work; Luther's relation to the Augsburg confession ; The Augsburg confession in its influence upon other Protestant confessions; Luther's trans lation of the Bible, or kindred topics be discussed: That the 10th of No vember, or a day as near to it as pos sible be observed in every one of our congregations with special services and thanksgiving. (c) That our German Congrega tions be earnestly urged to make spec ial efforts to complete the endowment of the German Professorship in Thiel College, and that the Pastor and Church Council, and the German Pro fessor in the College, constitute a special Committee in each charge to carry out this work in these Churches. (n) That our English Congrega tions be earnestly urged to endow a a professorship to be known as the "Martin Luther Professorship" in Thiel College, and that the President of Synod or the President of College with the College Financial Secretary constitute with the Pastor and Church Councils of each charge, a special com mittee to arrange for the successful completion of this work. (E ) That the Ministers of Synod for themselves hold a special session to arrange for the speedy completion of the Bassler synodical professorship of biblical literature and church his tory in Thiel College. (r) That our membership, men and women, and friends of Christian educa tion, to whom God has entrusted as His stewards the possession and con trol of money and estate, be earnestly entreated to provide for Thiel College such buildings and apparatus us are yet needed for the highest prosperity and efficiency of the college in the Christian education of our youth. (u) That this report, together with an address from the Board of Trustees of Thiel College, covering the above plan, be published for distribution among our churches by the financial Secretary of the college. Your Committee is satisfied that if the Synod anil our churches enter npon and carry out this plan with the fiith, the love and the zeal which s-bould move every Christian heart, the great head of His church will* ac cept our united efforts and crown them with much success. Thus, too, will the life of and labors and memory of our revered Father in Chri.-t. Dr. Mai tin Lather, bring bler-sinjjs to our children and our children's children in ail time to come ; which may God grant for Jesus' sake. Earnestly asking for this report that serious, prayerful thought which its importance demands, your Com mittee hopefully entrusts it to the consideration of the Synod. li. \V. Roxn, C. A. FETZEB, H.
