ROBERT MCCMJNO, Esq., Rep., Jury Commissioner-elect, had the highest ▼ote of any candidate in the county at the late election. CAMERON didn't believe the Inde pendent movement was loaded. The people knew, however, that Mr. Cam •ror was loaded, and proceeded to un load him. How. THCRLOW WEED, for long years a noted journalist and leading politician in the State of New \ ork, died in the city of New York last week, aged 85 years. TIOGA county, the homo of Senator Mitchell, gave Beaver 2,270; Pattison, 2,257, and Stewart, 2,211. For Secretary of Internal Affairs, where Mr. Merrick, the Ind. Republi can candidate lives, the vote stood, Merrick, 2,377; Greer, 2,238; Africa, 2,168. RETURNS of the recent election in fJew York, nearly all official, show a total vote of 906,597. The total vote for President in 1880 was 1,105,276. Cleveland's majority is 199,991. His total rote is 536,294. That for Han cock in 1880 was 534,511; for Garfield 555,544. Folger's vote for Governor this year is 342,303, or a falling off of 220,518 votes from the number he re ceived in 1880 lor Chief Judge. THKRI was a panic ia oil buying here last Thursday, and the same all over the country. Oil dropped 13 cents on the barrel in about that many minutes. The consequence was a ceas ing to "put up margins" and a wish to sell. We are sorry our townsmen here bad not better luck. But "margins'' arc a dangerous and treacherous thing to handle, and we would advise all to drop that way of tr> ing to make some thing—out of nothing. TH* Garfield Board of Audit re ceived a characteristic letter from Chris toph Flogeksties, a glazier, into whose putty box one of the bullets fired by Guiteaa at President Garfield, lodged. The writer says: "I wish it to be un derstood that I am far from making alleged claims bat I hope your honora ble body will assist me in my endeav ors to get an honest living, by intrust ing to me the position as the watchman or similar office in one of the Govern ment Departments." POLIOS COMMISSIONER MASON, of New York, in speaking of the defeat of Polger for Govorncrr and the manner of his nomination, says "the Angel Ga briel would hare been defeated if be had been nominated as Folger was." With due deference to the opinion of Mr. Mason, we will bet him two bar rels of crude petroleum, 47° gravity, that Gabriel would not have been de feated. He is supposed to be honest and would bare declined the nomina tion quicker'n wink.— Ve.xango Citizen Th* Supreme Court of Pennsylva nia after January 1, 1883. will be com posed as follows: Chief Justice, Ulys ses Mercur (Rep.), of Bradford couuty; Isaac G. Gordon (Rep), Jeffersou; Edward M. Paxson (Rep ), Philadel phia; John Trunkey (Dem.), Venango; James P. Sterrett (Rep.), Allegheny; Henry Green (Rep.), Northampton; and Silas M. Clark (Dem.), Indiana. Mercur's term will expire in 1887, Gor don's in 1838, and Paxson's in 1895 so thai unless the Hne of saccession is broken by death, inability, or resigna tion,it will be thirteen yearis before a Democrat occupies the place of Chief Justice, from which Sbarswood retires. SiifAToa Lke, of Venango county, will most likely be next President pro tern of the Senate. He has the ability, th* independence, and the experience and integrity to make a model presid ing officer for the Senate. It the Repub licans shall nominate and elect him, without a squabble and a bolt, the first step in the way harmonizing and reorganizing the Republican party of Pennsylvania will have been taken. The Republican members of the Sen ate can fttn into a blaze the smoulder ing fires of the late party conflict, or they can put out the fires entirely This is a good time for a little wisdom and a great deal of forbearance. Sen ator Lee is, in onr opinion, the man for the place, and we hope to see him elected President of the Senate by the solid vote of the Republican mertobers of that body.— Crawford Journal.

The Board of Officers of the State Fencibles' Battalion offered the ser vice of the battalion to Governor-elect Pattison as escort from his home to 1 Harrisburg on the occasion of his in- 1 auguration. Mr. Pattison has de clined the offer in a letter to Charles Berger. adjutant and secretary of the Board of Officers. Mr. Pattison's let ter is as foilows : PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 18, 1882. MY DEAR SIR: I desire to acknowl edge the receipt of your letter advis ing me of the resolution unanimously passed at a meeting of the Board of Officers of the State Fencibles Battal ion tendering me the services of the battalion as an escort from my home to Harrisburg on the occasion of the inauguration of the Governor of the Commonwealth in January next. This letter is only one of many I am daily receiving of similar import from various organizations both military and civil. As I was at one time a member and president of your battalion, it is not improper that I select my reply to your invitation as a method of commu nicating my purpose as to the inaugu ration to all those organizations that have already addressed me on the sub ject or might be likely to take any action in the matter in the future. For the personal compliment intended to be bestowed upon me by these friends I am sincerely grcatful, but must de cline to accept their kind offers, for the reasons I am about to state. I have always entertained a profound conviction that a simple and undem onstrative inauguration of public offi cers was most in accord with the spir it of republican institutions. There is no reason that I can see why the mere taking of an oath by the citizen called by the people to execute a pub lic trust should be made the occasion for scenes of pageantry and demonstra tion. To my mind the solemness of the act is marred by the intrusion of such needless and inopportune dis play. The sooner we return to sim plicity and democratic good sense in these matters the better—better for the people and better for the officer. Be sides, lam resolutely determined that, so far as I can control the matter, my inauguration as Governor shall not cost the people of Pennsylvania one dollar. Why should it? They derive no benefit from such scenes and the money spent thereon is wasted. These are my reasons for declining your kind offer. I trust they may meet your approval. Of course, the inauguration is a public act and takes place in the eye of the public. There fore it is the right of such citizens as desire to do so voluntarily and at their own expense to be present at and wit ness the ceremony. All such I will be glad to see and meet on that occa sion. More than that I do not wish to inspire and cannot approve. Respectfully yours, ROBERT E. PATTISON. We have witnessed these displays at the inauguration of our Governor!. They are only of modern introduction, and Governor-elect Pattison deserves praise from all good citizens for now refusing to countenance them. Hav ing to be held in January, when the weather is cold and often disagreea attending these out door pleasant The Defeat of Mr. Brahaui. The Eagle is anxious to get clear of the charge of defeating Mr. Brabant for the Legislature. Last week it ad mits just what we have heretofore said. It en Jeavors to give other causes for Mr. Braham's defeat, but thefollov ing, which it lets drop without apparently seeing its effect, is the ttue and real one; It says: "The charge against Mr. Braham was that he continued to vote for Mr. Grow (for United States Senator) after the Republican caucus had by a ma jority vote nominated a candidate, etc." Here is the " caucus " system defend ed. It is an invention of late years in this State and was a convenient mode by which the machine could beat the people out of their choice. Mr. Bra ham, with 55 other members and Sen ators, resolved that they would obey the will of their constituents in select ing a United States Senator and not the will of Don Cameron, who had, through the "caucus" put up a young, unknown and untried man. Mr. Grow was the choice of the Republicans of Butler county. No one dare deny that. The people were for him, and all the expressions of public opinion were for him. Both Mr. Braham and Mr. Bell, alter their nomination, and before and after their election, declared themselves in favor of Mr. Grow. Mr. Braham carried out his instructions from his constituents. Mr. Bell did not. Why? Because "King Caucus" said no; re plies the Eagle. Any member of the Legisla ture, who submits his choice for a United States Senator to any other tribunal than the Legislature itself, violates, not only the spirit of the law, but his duty to his constituents as well. But the ''caucus" done so and so, we are answered. "Caucuses" can't make an honest member go con trary to law in this matter of U. S. Senators. "Caucus" may be allowed for convenience in some things politi cal, but the law points out how U S. Senators shall be chosen, and no "cau cus" should,in cuy party, be allowed to fetter the free action or conscience of any member. Mr. Br&ham and 55 other members adhered to the law and the rights of the people. The great mass ot the party in this county de sired to show they approved bis course. He was re-nominated by the highest vote received by any of the candidates running for nomination. No question was or could be raised as to the fair ness or regularity of his nomination. The Republican voters of the county at the primaries had settled that. No person or paper had a right to "criti cize" or question their choice. But the Eagle did so, immediately after his nomination and several times subse quently. This misled enough to se cure his defeat, for not desertiDg hispeo pie, and their choice, Grow, and go ing in with the "bosses" caucus candidate. It is entitled to "the credit it deserves" in this matter. It misled enough to accomplish its purpose, and it is done, but the probability is that tbe effects of Mr. Braham's defeat in this unfair manner, will be felt here after in more cases than one.

A dispatch from MouoDgahela City, Washington county, Pa , says: "Great interest is manifest throughout this part of the couatry over the remarka ble recover of Mr. Richard Huffman, of Bentleyville, near here, from a pres tation caused by paralysis. For years Mr. Huffman has been seen on the streets here laboriously moving along on his knees or in his wheeled arm chair, and when it was reported last Monday that he had been cured trough the influence of prayer the story was generally discredited. A visit to Bent leyville, however, shows that it is true. Instead of finding a cripple hob bling about on his knees, the corre spondent found in the person 'of Rich ard Huffman a man straight and erect standing about five feet ten inches in height. He gave the following ac count of his miraculous cure : On last Thursday evening I asked my friends to pray for my restoration to health, and about eight o'clock on that even ing I crawled out to the wagon shed in the dark and rain on my knees and short canes, and there, with the light of my lantern turned down, I poured out my soul at the throne of grace, and oh! I felt as if the very door of Heaven's mercy was open, and that I could see Jesus stretch forth his hand to lift me from my infirmities. Oh ! the experience I had never felt before. It appeared to me that the blessing would surely come, and I know it has. I had to crawl some distance from the house, when, on my way in, I felt I must cling still closer to the promises, then act faith. So I got up and walk ed up a bill some five rods. Next up a wet flight of steps nine in number, some forty feet more, through the kitchen to the end of another porch. Met my plater and shook hands with her. Since then I have been walking in the triumph of faith." Dr, Jesse T, Scott, who has charge of the ease, said to the correspondent, "I heard of Huffman's cure and was very much surprised. He undoubted ly was afflicted with locomotorataxia. When I had exhautsed everything in my province I took him before the Washington County Medical Society, and both Doctors, M'Kenna and Lit tle, said the case was incurable, and they could give him no hope. The disease is supposed to be incurably, and I have no explanation whatever to make. He was on his knees last week, but last night I saw him walk ing," MAKRIEP.

Up to the time of her death she re peated the hymns learned from childhood, among them, "I'm going home to die no more," and expired in the arms of her hu -band, peace fully and calmly. Fall gently, oh ! ye autumn leaves, Aboye our loved one's head ; 'Tis precious dust that sleeps beneath, A lovely flower out down by death, In youth's bright, halcyon bloom. We see no more the pure, sweet face, That rests beneath the sod; But memory bears forever yet, Its impress, like a jewel— Her spirit—home with Qod. Oh, fairest flowers, when springtine comes> Spring upward on her breast, And perfume all the ambient air ; For she, like you, was sweet and fair; But early gone to rest, But, still we weep not o'er the spot, For she was only given, And taken in ber youthful years, Amid our sighs and falling tears. To draw us nearer heaven. TAYLOR,—In Petrolia, Pa., at 4 o'clock, Thursday mornin?, f T ov. 33, 1882, Mrs. Carrie M. Taylor, aged 42 years, 8 mouths, and 19 days.
