OUR CANDIDATE /OR AUDITOR.
Mr. JACOB RHEEI4I having declined the
nomination for Andito'r tendered him
• by' the late Republican Convention, it
became the duty of the Republican
Committee at its late meeting to fill
the vacancy. Mr. D. M. C. GRIND, of
Carlisle, on motion of JAMES A. Dux-
Esq., was unanimously nornina
' ted. Mr. Garen is one of themost
enthusiastic young Republicans in the
county, and would discharge the du
ties of the office in the most satisfac
tory manner, were he elected. He is
one of the best accountants and most
successful school teachers in the•coun
ty.
NO MORk wonderful proof could be
alesired of the actual fulfilment of
Noah !s prophecy that the descendents
of Japhet shouljil dwell within the tents
of Shem, than the fact that a message
was raently received in New York
which was penned in Bombay, India,
only eight minutes before ! The mem
bers of the Shemitic races are not 'in
ventive, nor do they_ ouble themselves
with telegraphs or things of that na.-
ture. It is Japhet's children who have
made possible this marvellous celerity
of intercommunication, and it is the
same people who avail themselves of
that possibility.
ON the 28th of June, 1861, at the
beginning of the late war for the pre
sertafion of the Union, J, W. Geary
was mustered into the service as a (101-

On all: hands we hear that Asa
'Packer 'hes most egregiously disap
pointed the Democracy in the way of

already declare that he is as mean
in political matters as he' has proved
himself in private affairs. "The man

Payment of his local taxes should not
hi ve.been expected .to contribute lib
erally even to purchase hie own elec

nafarales the dislike if Satan for "holy
water "or church bells. Out of the
sweat and poor pay of his workmen he
made his money, and for him to ipay it
out to the leaders of the Dernocracy;
would dense hiin to sweat blood and
knash his teeth. To prevent this mat
ter. of expense, he had _his personal
friend Mutchler (whom nobody before
ever heard of), appointed to the Chair
manship of the Democratic, State Cen
tral Committee; and even at this late
.day has he refused to agree to the se
lection of a. treasurer for that impotent
body.
===
Packer, having thus failed to con-.
tribute, the different County Commit
' tees are expected to raise .the corrup
tion 'fund by enormous assessments_on
the few Democr'atic office-holders who
are to be found scattered over different,
parts of the State. In accordanee with
this design, the Copperhead Comthittee
of this county have gone to work. But,
and behold I our Harrisburg Hepre
sentative, Cot (7) Dick Haldeman,
anticipates their action, and, well know
ing that his assessment would mount
high in the hundreds, sends his check
.for a paltry hundred dollars to the
taeasurer of-the Committee, thus fore
closing his assessment by - that hungry
body of bush-whackers. And we have
even heard some Democrats' who are
ungenerous enough to say that Dick
did this to prevent the collection of the,
large balance due upun his last year's
assessment. To make the matter still
" more•binding," as - the slang phrases
of the Democracy go, one of his heuch.
men, the Hon. (t) Theodore Corn
man, gets a resolution of thanks Passed
by the Committee, which entirely ex
()aerates the gallant Colonel ( ? ) froin
any, further assessments, and wipes out
all old and unsettled scores which any
prior committees may have against:him.
The result of all this sharp practice on
the part of Dick will be an over-assess
meat on the smaller fry ot the Copp :r
-bead office-holders in the county. The

on at them and - laugh in our, sleeves,
well knowing that it will simply be
that much money squandered. - Geary
and Williams are bound to beelected,
and money spent on Packer and Per
shing will simply -be money wasted.
This fact Packer himself already re - -
cognizes, and his dumb supporters will
learn to fully realize it on the second
Tuesday of next month. _ Pennsylva

oring our whole land with slavery, thus
far you shall go, and no further. And
when war against the Union came, it
was the organization around which
loyal men rallied as the instrument for
saving the liberties of the Republic
and preserving the existence of the
Union.
The Democratic party was a corrupt
party. It sunk our State so deeply in
debt , that at 'one time Pennsylvania
was on'the brink of repudiation. The
Repubgeniis came into power, arrested
the wholesale corruption that was ram

duetion of the State debt. .
In our national affairs everybody
knows the condition to which we were
reduced under Mr. Buchanan, when
the Treasury was robbed of everLeent

there for safe keeping, and when our
credit was so low, in, a time of peace,
that we could borrow money only nt a
heavy premium. When Mr. LincOln

wholesale robbery of the Treasury was

must be some special difficulty which

The special' difficulty; we dare say,
may resolve itself into the opposition
of the British residents in China and
the old hard-Witting statesmen who
have been for a hundred years or more
butting their hends against the Chi

from the Doylestown Democrat, coincides
. with our views before published in those

fruit, the writer save :—lt is quite likely
that - eating unripe and wilted fruit mid
vegetables. cause disturbance in the atom , '
itch, end
- sickness; but it is of temporary
. cnartieder, and would generally cureitielf
if no other cause was present. It is well
to use, caution In the selection of fruit and
' vegetables, avoiding• those that are wilted
mid decayed. In - certain seasons, when
epidemic chdlora may be preSeLt, and when
the systems the pepple May be.preptired
for titsease by the poisoned air they
breathe, it is possible that wilted fruit and
Vegetable may .bo the exciting causes of
fetid Sickne - ss ;
,but even then de air -that
is more truly the cause of death, than food
that is eaten. In ordinary - seasons when
-no epidemic Is present, impure air tauses
a fold more mortality than even
wilted fruit and vegetables. In fact, it is
probable that total abstinence from fruit
and vegetables by the whole community,
would produce more fatal sickness than the
most unlimited indulgence in them. The
safest rule is, hoWever, temperance in all
in all things.

prices. But in this they are likely to, be
disappointed, as the immense cereal crop.
just harvested precludes the possibility of
the maintenance of the preient, much less
'of-former rates. Buyers of grain in the
interior counties of the' State are offering
only ono dollar per bushel, at which of

not give the lie to the rumor by showing a
better corn crop than ever. It is known that
the harvest of wheat, oats,' barley, potatoes
and hay was , never better than this year.
These products are all safely secured on
the farms all over the country, and _in
abundance, top. The barns are loaded
with grain. The castle are luxuriously
provided with fodder for the coming win

complain, it'is because the abundant har

The people who mpst eat the• _food_ will be
benefitted by the richness of the harVest.
It is therefore absurd as well as wicked,
for speculators to unkertake the task of
making a panic aho'ut the short crop of
corn in order to enhance .the price of•
breanstak, upon the tame principle that
the coal monopOlists have entered into a
conspiracy to defraud the public by bogus
representations Of the scarcity of that ar
