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.

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

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.

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.—

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.

Obituary.
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. Truly Cod's ways
are not our ways neither can vie under
stand his mysterious dealings toward
the children of men.
