THE Parker, Petroleum, Fair, opens next Tuesday the 20th aud continues on 27, 28 and 29, Sept. insts. OIL has "jumped"—and it is to be hoped it will continue jumping, until it reaches at least two or three dollars per barrel. IT is suggested that Mr. Blaine, having steered his own State safely through, should now come to Pennsyl vania and help smash Cameron. Cameron has twice defeated Blaine's Presidential chances and Blaine has now an opportunity to return the compliment. GEN. BEAVER and some of the candidates on the State ticket with him, and Cols. McMicbael and Duff, on the Independent Republican State ticket, are all expected in town to-day, Wednesday. Two meetings will be held in the evening—one on each side —and all can have their choice at hearing the speakers and the speeches. We hope that good order and friendly bearing will prevail. Open, free and fair discussion, is always good It is only when reason is not permitted to combat error or wrong that harm is done. If the weather is favorable we anticipate large meetings and a lively time. GENERAL ABABI, of Egypt, did not turn out the plucky soldier expected. But be can plead the plea the lawyers make sometimes—he was "taken by surprise." At this distance it looks, however, that he should have gather ed up the remnants of his routed army. But hta was a bold undertaking—with "raw troops," against British "bull dogs," and trained soldiers. We have learned, however, something of new names of places and things in Egypt which we would not have knowu only for Arabi. It is a country "fear fully and wonderfully made," and, after all, this brief war may be but another forerunner in the march of the Christain civilization of the world- SOMEHODY writing to the Lancaster New Era thus aptly illustrates the foolishness of old man Cameron's jer emiad about the Independents and the tariff. The writer says: Tho assertion of ex-Senator Simon Cameron that the Independents are made up of men opposed to the tariff, reminds us of a little story we read. The story is laid in ante-bellum times. A gentleman was walking along the streets of the city of New Orleans, when he was accosted by a man who produced a pistol and said: "Sir, do you see this pistol?" Upon being an swered in the affirmative the holder of the pistol said, Sir do you see that lit tle negro upon the opposite side of the street?" Receiving another affirma tive answer' his interlocutor contin ued: "Well now, sir, I want you to give me a quarter to buy a drink, and if you do not I intend to shoot that little negro, and you will be hung for murder." That appears to be the po sition, slightly modified, of our ex-Sen ator. If the people do not support his son Don, then his sou Don will op pose the tariff, and the Independent Republicans will be responsible for the harm that may ensue. CONGRESSMAN RUSSELL, of Massa chusetts', and a member of the Con gressional Campaign Committee, haa Bent to Hubbell his protest against the second assessment circular recentlv ad dressed to Government employes. " Mr. Russell takes the true ground on this question when he affirms that all mem bers of the party should stand on the same footing, whether officeholder or private citizen. All are equally under obligation to suppjrt the partv that has done so much for this couniry. A man employed by tlio Government at a given salary owes the country no more and no less thaii he would if em ployed by a private citizen. The Gov ernment employe is supposed to earn ins wages just as fairly in once case as in the other lo be harrassed and an noyed and importuned to oontribute a certain percentage of hid income for party purposes, is an outrage that honest public sentiment condemns. Clerks in the rariots departments are now paid to be visited at their desk to secure the contribution they have de clined to send in. Yet all "this is de fended as "voluntary." It is voluntary simply in the sense that tho employes choose to comply rather than run the risk of the consequences following a refusal to contribute. ISiulcr I'ulr. We go to press before knowing what success attends our Fair. But it is safe to conclude that more people will l>e in town to-day, Wednesday, than perhaps has ever been at one time. The political meetings, and the pres ence of some of the State candidates, will add to the large numbers attend ing the Fair and Court, now in ses sion. Harmony Fair. Commences next Monday, Sept 2;>, aud continues on 26th and 27th. (Jo to it. No pains have been spared to j make this one of the best \et got up at Harmony. Our Fair will be over this week, when all can go to the Har mony aud Parker ones, held next week. Visitor*. Mr. Anderson McPherrin, of lowa, is now on a visit to his aged sister living here, the widow Sullivan. Mr. i McPherrin left this county more than , fifty years ago, and returns now, at , the age of 72 years, looking hale and i hearty. He is the youngest of the j family of the Rev. John McPherrin, formerly of the upper part of this coun ty, and who is now known only in history to most of our people. His eldest sister was the wife of the late Hon. Walter Lowrie, once a distin guished citizen of this town. His sister here, widow of the late John Sullivan, Esq., aud the Hon. Josiah McPherrin, late of Mercer county, but now also a citizen of lowa, are alone surviving of his brothers and sisters We had a pleasant visit from Mr. McPher rin last week, in company with his nephew, Col. John M. Sullivan. His address is Mt. Zion, Van Buren coun i ty, lowa. i Rev. T. J. Barclay, formerly of AU legheny city, aud who is at the head of the church having charge of the Or | phans' Home here, was visiting this place last week in the interest ot the Home. Doctor Mogea W. Wallaco, of Al legheny city, made our towu a visit last week. He was raised on the old Wallace farm, adjoining the Renfrew property, Penn township, and has an interest as an heir in the same, which is likely to become very valuable for oil purposes. The doctor is a genia! and generous gentlemen and it always gives us a pleasure to meet him. The Congress Nomination. As stated last week the Congres sioaal Conferees of tbis district meet in this place on to-morrow, Thursday evening. This will be the third meeting, one in each of the three counties. A Orst meeting was delayed in order to accommodate Mr. Miller, one of the candidates, who was in Congress, and which body did not adjourn until near the middle of August. While it is time that a nomination should now or soon be made, yet the same difficulty is existing in this as in other districts of this Slate, and no district nomina tions have as yet been made in tbeuj. This difficulty arises mainly from the fact that the rights of counties to present nominations are not duly re spected. Where a county of a district is entitled to a nomination by turn, and by the rule heretofore practiced in the district, it is a very delicate matter to ask that county to give awav its right to another. It is ad mitted on all hands that Butler county has the best, if not a clear right, to the present nomination now pending. Our people know this, and emphatical ly insist on our right being granted. Thev urge that it cannot and should not be yielded. And hence they stand very unitedly up to the support of the candidate they have presented to the district Conference. It is not a question of personal, but of county right. At the same time they have presented a candidate in the person of Mr. McJunkiu whom all admit to be well qualified, in every respect. Why then is there delay in not according to this county her right? It is natural for men to want to go to Congress, or to keep in Congress, but when a district is composed of counties equal, or nearly so, the onlv safe way is to accord each its rights. A refusal of this is more likely to endanger success than any thing else. We have heretofore, in a frank and generous spirit, referred to the arguments urged in behalf of the candidates presented by each of the other counties, Dr. Roberts of Craw ford and Mr. Miller of Mercer, but as this is a matter of right on the part of this county, and as our people insist on its being maintained, we now ap peal to their sense of justice, and have hopes that the Conference that meets to-morrow will not adjourn until our right is duly recognized. Rallrotul Progress. The laying of the rail on the Pitts burgh & Western road is complete as far down the LJounoqucncssing as Renfrew, a distauce of five miles from this place. On Monday of this week the first passenger cars were put upon the track. Visitors to onr Fair are now being carried there on the road from this place. Within a month or two it is expected to have the road completed to the point near Evans burg, where it connects with the part already made, and which will give a through and shorter line to Pittsburgh Work on the connecting link of the S. & A. road has commenced at all points, from here to New Hope, and is beiug pushed with extraordinary rapidity. A large number of work meu are employed. The principal eut is about the center of Clay twp., ou the McCall and adjoining farms. It should be mentioned in connection with the making of this road that the contractor reserves the right to settle all claims for work, materials, etc., be fore settling with the sub-contractors. And that also should any whiskey be sold or brought upon the work, the engineer has authority to discharge persons so offeudiug. These were needed reforms in railroad making. L.CUVCH for PlilHburKli. Dr. George, the well known and popular llcrb Doctor, for several weeks guest of the Vogeley House, Butler, returns to his Pittsburgh of fice after Monday September 25th, he will, however, retain his office at the Vogeley House, where he can be seen Saturday and Sunday of each week. Qtb* IPuiUc €iti **»: Putler, s!*♦, 20, ISS2. County Tickets. The follow iusr from tie Tioga Agitator of tne 12th inst., relative to a uuiteil supi ort of all Republicans on , their county tickets, is so souud aud , sensible in advice, aud so applicable to this aud other counties, that we copy and endorse it in full. Ihe Agitator is the able organ ot the j Tioga couuty Republicans, a county that gives a larger Republican major ity than any other in the State, iu proportion to the vote it polls. It says : as follows : j | "We understand that some Stal warts in this county have expressed j the opinion that an opposition should be organized against candidates on j the county ticket who may be classed with the Independents, and, on the other hand, some Independents are anxious that candidates who may be suspected of Stalwart leanings shall be made to declare themselves in favor of Stewart under the implied threat of losing the Independent vote if they do not comply. It seems to us that all this is the height ot political folly. It is not necessary to say that wo heartily endorse the course of the Couuty Committee in refusing to osta cize oither wing of the party, and time and reflection have only confirmed our opinion that the Committee acted wisely in this respect. Fortunately, the same line of policy was followed by the County Convention, and the result is that we have a county ticket for which no true Republican need feel ashamed or afraid to vote. There are men on that ticket of whose opin ions respecting State politics we know nothing, and it is a matter of indiffer ence to us, so far as their caudidacy is concerned, whether they intend to vote for Sewart or for IJeaver. We hold that every Republican voter iu the State has a right as a party man to decide for himself how he will vote so far as the two Republican State tickets are concerned. Any man may vote for either Heaver or Stewart and still remain a llepublican in ourejes; and we are certainly williDg that every candidate shall exercise the same right that every voter may. N\ hile we re -1 gret that all Pennsylvania Republi cans do not agree with us in the belief that the highest good of the party requires the absolute and signal overthrow of the Cameron machine this year, we are wjling to concede that mauy honest Republicans may think they are in duty bound to vote for the machine ticket; ai}4 we have no quarrel with such men ; let each one act as he honestly believes to be 1 right. We acknowledge no Republi can's right to coerce any other Re publican in this matter. Nor do we see any sense in attempting to bring anv local candidate to th e support of either State ticket as against the other. No man whose opinion is worth anv i thing doubts the ability or integrity of any candidate on the couuty ticket. No man who knows anything ot the recent political history of the State can seriously question the political faithful -1 uess of any man named on that ticket. The highest good of the party de mands that its local organizations shall be maintained intact. This fact has been recognized in other counties, where the Independents aud Stalwarts have agreed to disagree as to State candidates and to unite heartily in the support of a common local ticket. There is no reason why Tioga county Republicans shouldn't all come up to this common standard of sound politi cal sense." lllnilie's Victory. The "plumed knight" of Maine has achieved a grand victory by the elec tion of the Republican State ticket, four Congressmen and both branches of the Legislature. It was a fateful struggle for Blaine. lie had to enter it almost single-handed, for those wielding the power of the Republican party gave him no aid and hoped for his defeat; 'out two weeks ago "the leader of leaders" threw himself into the eddy of battle, and changed its current from defeat to victory. Had Blaine been defeated yesterday in Maine, it would have been pro claimed by every machine Stalwart as his final discomfiture, and he would have disappeared from the list of great factors for 1884. The chief obstacle to Stalwart control of the Republican party would have been removed, and Cameron would haye breathed more freely as he proffered Pennsylvania to Arthur for the succession. Rut Blaine has, by his eloquence and the popular enthusiasm his leadership inspires, re deemed his State to his party, just when the States of Arthur ani Came ron are likely to bo lost, regardless of their patronage and power ; and Blaine ccmjs before the country again with the highest commendation of his people as the chieftain of the popular host. Hubbell's corruption fund was not scattered around in Maine; Arthur did not counsel with Blaine how the party might be saved in the State; Cameron did not arouse the Tariti men 'and demand their subscriptions to save protection, although Blaine made it the paramount issue in the battle; Chandler cruised along the coast on his junketing tour, but promised no eight-hour labor decision to delude Labor votes to turn the trembling scale; Grant had no words of cheer for the Republicans of the I'ine Tree State ; Conkling had no inspiration to give to his fellow Stalwarts to re doem an important battle-ground, and the administration organs bristled with predictions of Blaine's overthrow; but the Republican people made it their battle, and they have proved how honest Republican victories may be won by honest leaders and honest issues. Three.fourths of the Republicans of Pennsylvania will heartily rejoice over Blaine's grand victory, while oue-fourth, embracing the Boss ma chine leaders, pensioners and expec tant?, who have twice betrayed Blaine in National Conventions, will tremble at this triumph of the Republican leader of the people. They will see a fresh admonition to the Blaine and (Jarfield men of Pennsylvania not to surrender the Republican power of the State to those who have defied Re publican sentiment and who hate Blaine because the masses of the Re* publicans love him. It is a victory for the Republican people not only in Maine, but a victory that will be felt in every Boss-ridden State ; and it will inspire the revolutionists against machino despotism to strike their sturdiest blows for the Republican ism that recognizes "government of the people, by the people and for the people."— Press. Tlie fciar Bonte Thieves Free. ! The farce of the trial of the Star . Route defendants is practically at an end for the present, aud most likely tor all time. The two Dorseys and l>ra dy, the three most illustrious public j thieves since the golden days of j Tweed, have locked horns with justice ; in the uatioual Capital, and proved themselves ni'ghtUT than the law. The case presented by the g.jvern ment was so clear, so complete in every link, and so entirely conclusive as to i the guilt of the Dorseys and Brady, and the fidelity of the Judge to the honest administration of the law was |so emphatic, that the country had i learned to hope for the majesty of justice even in Washington ; but the earlier apprehensions of the omuipo j tence of powerful and banded thieves have beeu fully realized by the con j viction of two of the minor defendants, ! the acquittal of one against whom the I government did not press the prosecu ; tion, aud the disagreement of the jury I as to the guilt of the chief conspirators aud criminals. The day that dated the succession of I the Arthur to the Garfield administra tion, dated the safely of these mighty criminals. They have never hesitated to publicly defy "both public sentiment aud the courts, since the nation wept for the murdered Garfield ; and from that period until yesterday, the Star Route thieves have had an open field iu Washington to compass their escape. Every Stalwart journal lauded Arthur aud defamed every man who had seconded Garfield in daring to attempt the vindication of justice, aud during the trial, and every day since the jury first retired, the Dors, ys tossed their glass in ribald toast to those who had offended them by demanding tjie pun ishment of the most unblushing public thieves of modern history. They knew their jury ; They knew its sur roundings ; they knew the influence of power, and they were safe. When it is remembered that Dorsey was a United States Senator, aud used his high position to organize and exe cute a crime of appalling magnitude, aud that Brady was the Assistant Postmaster General, who had control of Dorsev's line of theft, it is a fearful humiliation for the country that they could escape unwhipped of justice at the fouutnin of the laws of a great free people. And it is the move shameful that such a miscarriage of justice could be perpetrated in the face of the honest and fearless efforts of a righteous Judge, who made a brave struggle to save justice from open shame in her own sanctuary. It is a blow against justice and against the majesty of the law, that must be profoundly felt from centre to circumference of the Republic, and it will do more to arouse the peo ple to the grave peril that threateus their institutions thunany one cause of the last decade. When Wayne MacVeagh said to President Arthur, soon after the death of Gar Geld, that "the prosecution of the Star iioute cases will be important or unimportant, as you shall make, or fail to make, the cause of the government your cause," he told the whole story in ii single pregnant sentence. Garfield had made the cause of the goveiumeut his cause ; Arthur refused to make the cause of the government his cause, and the prosecutions languished iuto final failure. The verdict, or the failure of a verdict, is simply a reflection of the gentimeut of those who bask in the power of the gov&rnmeut. jt was safe to refuse to convict; it would offend none in authority; it would assure the hearty commendations of every admin istration orgau, and the Porseys and Brady are practically free, because the govepqment was ready to tolerate the defeat of the law. Tbo farce is now over; Porsey and Brady are safe from punishment for the meanest prostitu tion of high power to the most reckless theft, and the boasted Republic of the world must confess the omnipotence of banded thieves over the law, in the very fountain of the nation's laws.— Philadelphia Press. A Card. BUTLER, Sept. 18, 1882. EUITOHS CITIES ;—I feel like com municating through the columns of vour valuable paper, and will (with your permission) write a few lines for your readers, if you shall judge it "worthy a place in your useful and well managed journal. I atn here on a general visit to my surviving friends of kindred ; and other friends, as are yours also. I have been absent this many years from this, the county of my birth and early life. Fifty-two years have come and gone since I visited in Old Butler. I see many changes—many improvements, and uscfull changes, I scarcely can real ize or understand. But, "time liies, man dies." "Time riturnetb not," In the fall of eighteen hundred aud thirty, I left Butler, county seat of your now prosperous and wealthy county, in minerals, oil, coal and all other "staples, that go to make up a grtat future Having b.jen born some twelve miles north of this place, iviit in the couuty's limits, I still in terest in its welfare iu every respect. I am not going to write a homily, but simply state somethings that are to me as "grpen spots on memories waste," an " Oasis on the Desert of life." I find very few of the oid Pioneers of Butler county now living, and they enjoying a favor beyond the promise of "Three score and ten." I find many of their deccudents, from whom I learn much history of those "gone over the River," some pleasing so tie other wise. i visited a nephew's family in Venango county. 1 found them com. fortably situated, a happy family. 1 have been called on by a Mr. A. P. Glenn of Butler, whose father I knew when a boy, and enjoyed his visit to great advantage. Truly I enjoy the company of all the citizens of town and country, male and female, with whom I have met. Particularly Charles Puffy, son of Peter Puffy, E.-q., of Butler, from whom I u°t a copy of the first papers published in the county. One of these contained my mother's obituary notice. Gen John X. Purviance, and Campbell his broth er, Win. Campbell and Gilmore his brother; with the last mentioned four I went to school in the Old Stoue Academy, long time ago. I have found friendship's greeting from all with whom it, has been my privilege to meet. I must now close this brief sketch of mv visit to my Old Home, Butler ; returning my grateful thanks to the good people thereof, for the kind re ception I have met from all. ANDERSON MCPIIKKRIN.

Pepartcd this life, by laying herself down ou the track of a moving train near Butler, on the evening of Sept. 14th, 1882, Mrs. Nancy McUrew, i:i the 45th year of her age. She had been a consistent member of the U. P. Church of Prospect for about 25 years aud a warm friend of the Sabbath School, and liberal with her means according to her ability to promote the Master's cause. She was a dutiful wife, a kiud aud indulgent mother, and an intelligent professor of religion. She memorized and repeated the whole book of Psalins in metre and received the reward of a lamiiy Bible. She had a strong and robust consti tution until two or three years ago when her health began to fail. She was taken down nearly 18 months ago and pen could not depict nor tongue describe her bodily suffering betimes, but for the last few months her bodily sufferings were loss severe. Her men tal anguish increased to such an extent that she courted death aud when mild er measures failed'she was impelled to the fearful expedient of travelling a distance of 6 miles aud putting her self in front of a moving train to be instantlv crushed to death, in order to put an end to her untold agony. She leaves a husband and six children and a large circle of friends to mourn her melancholy end.
