DELEGATE ELECTIONS
The TtePiibli4an voters of Cumberland
county are requested to meet at their
usual places of holding Delegate. Elec
tions, (except at Carlisle, where they
will meet at the - Court House,) on Salop
day, August 13, 1870, between the hours
of live and eight o'clock P. m., to choose
d‘legates to the County Convention, to
be held on Monday, August 15, 1870.
By order of the Standing Committee
JOSEPH - RITNEE,
Chairman.
. -
O. W. HAucw,
Secretary
AR last we havo the complete list of
Democrats who want to be office holders
after the election next fall. Three gen
tlemen want to go.to Congress ; two to
the Legiilature ; nine wish to be Sheriff ;
nine wish to be Commissioner, and three
Directorof the Poor. Hero are twenty-six
patriots for five ,ofilces. You can't di
'vide such dividends by such :divisors,
and, therefore, a pro rata distribution is
impossible. Five gentlemen will win,
and twenty-one gentlemen will find that
they havo squandered their time, money,
conscience and self-respect, only to be
beaten for the nomination by some per
sons who better understand manipulating
the unterrifled Democracy of the county.
The gentlemen who win will, perhaps,
secure a short lease of official life, which,
in' the end, they will discover they, have
bought and paid for at a very high rate.
What wonderfel discoveries some or
the more unsophisticated of the candi
dates for nomination will make. Many
of these gentlemen start out with the
blissful infatuation that the Democratic
party is the ono into which no.dishonesty
or treachery ever creeps ; that, its mem
bers are honest and truthful ; that its
leaders are honorable and reliable men;
and that everything is lovely in general.
The greenest of them won't believe this
after next Saturday. Each disappointed
fellow will swear, mentally, that he
would not believe one of their local poli
ticians on oath, and he will have con
side able reason for "that opinion. Ile
wil admit to himself, that he has been
flat red s , humbugged, deceived and be
trayed by every ono who had, or thought
s he had any political axe tmgrind. Each
of them, howeVer, will choke down his
grief and disappointment, and in three,
weeks will be ready to swear that DM old
Democratic party is, the host, truest, and
safest party - in ,tho world ; that dishon
esty or corruption never once entered its
ranks, and that all good men should sup
port it, in order that radicalism and Its
crimes may be completely overthrown.
Such is life-particularly the life of a
local Democratic politiMan.
CinnNis administration is paying :
the natiaiiar debt m u ch too 11.4 to suit
the Democracy. They • are Miligliant
that. the burden of paying the 'whole or
• any part of the debt should fall on this
generation. ' They say the war. was
dent itself, and that the debt created by .
it should be oft] , by those ivho did none
of the lighting. These gentlemen forget
that the debt exists, and thitt I f,; pressure s
alone is just, as severe as. the taixation
required to pay it at the pr e sent rate of
payment. Until OurTerrency is. at par
we must do everything wd restore
our credit, and the only road to restored
credit is bY .showing a qvillingliess alur
ability to vigour just debts. IVlien our
Craft is entirely restored, when our Own
people take the greenbacks at their face
value,we can then stop pitying our debts.
It would be folly to do so any sooner.':
We might, perhaps, save some taXatimi,'
but we would lose infinitely more Xis the
• depreciation of oar currency and: the'lle;
_rangementof all our bushless.- •
But the Democracy • have reasons for
objecting to the payment of the debt.
It interferes With their political schemes,
and, curtails their power 'to do Mischief.
While it Republican adminiiitratioii • is
paying the debt at a rate that will ex
tinguish it twenty-five years, they
have no chance to say that the 'Country
willmever.be relieved from it; burdens.
'lr When green i baifirs appresch 4 ,the value of
gold, the -greenback theory of paying
• debts, relied, ion' by such statesmen as
Pendleton and Brick Pomeroy ..as'the
[dilution of- our financial difficulties, be
' comes of but little consequence. The
'Democracy don't want the debt paid.
Its payment would prove the stupidity
as welinsthe dishonesty of their leaders.
They Want itirepudiated, and every pay.'
went helps to-make this impoSsible. •
Ho'lvis it about the abatement which
the law allows for the payment of the
county taxes, previously to the firstslaY
of August?: Have' ,. the dorinnisaioners
and Treasurer found; any law ',which
authorizUsThem to •fikinte it,. or ie , They
haven't, do- these. gentlemen set idiom
selves up as superior .to the law? And,
also, how about the penalty? What
right have our authorities to say that a.
man must Pay fivO.per cent additional on
his taxes if not paid by the first of . Au
guet? WO hope the tax-payers will in
slat on seeing the authority for this be
fore they pay over.
...This may be a very
conVenient way to get funds,. to make up
for deficitsin The treasury„ caused by
the extravagance 'of the county fathers,
but it is not a very safe precedent. 1 If
our frier is may ptit on a penalty of
five per cent without law, They may put,
on twenty per cent also without law:
And if they-are acting.merely from their
own caprice, they may disregard the rate
entirely, and. tax ns just' what they
please. Their writers have given up the
task Of defending their action, and the
presumption is, they think it is not 'de
fensible. There is an easy way out of
this muss. If the Commissioners have
power to do as they are doing, it is the
duty of all citizens to pay their taxes its
claimed, cheerfully. •If they have not,
no payments should be made of any sum
that the Treasurer cannot legally de.
maud. The question is fairly .raised,and fo'r a fair purpose. If any law ex
ists, it can be shown without trouble,
and that will Wild all disputea
, • SECRETARY BOUTWELL again makes
his monthly announcement' of the de
crease of the National debt. During the
month of July he has reduced the indebt
edness of the Government more than
seventeen.' Illiobs of dollars. This is
paying more than half a million per day,
and more than two hunched millions per
year. The whole amount of the interest
bearing debt is now abbut two thousand
millions of dollars. Ton years, at the,
present rate of payment, would cancel it
entirely. It is hardly credible, by those
who have so long listened to the croak
-ings of the Democracy, that we are so
near our deliverance from the burden of '
debt, but we are warranted In saying
that the 'Republican party can accom
plish it in that time if they remain in
'power. , , •
It should be borne in mind, however,
that the last Congress has reduced taxa=
tion about eighty-five millions of dollars
yearly. This will, el' course diminish the
revenue, and decrease the amount which
-could be paid yearly under the former
tax law. However, with increased econ
omy in our expondituves, and the fund
ing of the debt at a. lower interest, the
payments during the next year may not
be materially diminished. The people
now aro being relieved greatly of taxa
tion, and their indebtedness rapidly re
duced. at the same time. And this is
due alone to the•honesty and wisdom of
a Republican administration.
Tire. European difficulties still con
tinue, without any serious fighting, but
svith.every:prospect of a great battle, in
verz ti short time,. Napoleon having
constituted the Empress, Regent during
his absence from Paris, has gone to"-the
front and assumed the command of the
French armies, on Saturday last. , He
-has since .adyaneed his headquarters
from Metz to Avoid, which is close to the
Prussian border. Thc -French papers
say that the Prussians have 300,000. men
at Troves ; 100,000 in the
_Black For
est; 200,000 at . ,Mityance ; 100,000 in
Schleswig ; and 80:000near Berlin ; malt
ing their force for operations 800,000
men. The French.,, have eight army
corps in readiness for an engagement.
King William left Berlin for Die front,
on Saturday. Austria, Sweden, Spain
and Denmark, have declared their neu
trality. Russia may, or may not inter
fere, and her course will be controlled
doubtless by what the }results of the strug
gle may indicate to be forher own advan
tage. England's position is for 'the pres
ent
,neutral, although Mr. Gladstone,
in a recent speech, intimates that it may
-be necessary to interfere for the purpose
of mitigating the evils ef the war. He
characterizes it the most mournful and
miserable gnarrelever witnessed by man
kind." "The latest ad vices indicate a
general engagement :it a very early day.
HENILY (4. Mosan esq., of the lower
end of the county, announces himself a
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Legislature, in opposition to Mr. Lei
dig. Mr. Moser is a gentleman of wealth
and respectability, and belongs to what
is sometimes known as the old - gentle-
Man's wing of the Democracy.. He was
elected to the Le'gislature in 1853, with
Jackson McKee ; Cumberland, at that
fine, being entitled to two members.
Since then he has been, practically, out
of polities. He announeu „himself op
posed tcr - Mr.Leidig on account of his
vote on the big railroad swindle, over,
which that gentleman glories. We sus
pect that Mr. Moser has been brought
out by a number of very respectable old
gentlemen in the party, who, like him=
self, have been ruthlessly thrust aside by
the aspiring young fellows of the party,
and who are now anxious to regain their
for Mer position. Wu don't think Mr.
Moser has any considerable strength in
his party, or at least,not enough,to defeat
Mr. Leidig.: It must be a gratification
to the'unterrified to find one of their own
leaders denouncing the only important
yote, Mr. Leidig gave lasi lvintet.
Ti Mr. Moser is nominated for the Leg
islature, by the Democracy, Mr.'Leidig's

THROUGHOUT the entire State there
appearA to be a contest intim nomination
of the Legislative -candidates, on the
question of the election of tlarnext.btate
Treasurer. This is a lamentable state of
affairs. That the interests.of the whole
Commonwealth shOuld be made imbordi
nato,to the election of one State officer is
intolerable. Bat there is little use to
complain of it. ,As long as the election
is left in the hands of the Legislature,
we will just have the old fights over
again. These contests have done more
than anything elSe to distract the Repub
lican party and endanger its succOis,
while their effect on the Legislature and '
the interests of the State .has been de
plorable. jlow long will it take the
people to become fairly enlightened on
this sufiject, and. after they are informed
how long must we wait for them to de
mand that they shall choose this officer
by their own votes?
FROM a hasty reading of Mr. Leitlig's
leiter, we stated last week that he said
he would :l a pin vote for the Railroad
Bill if presented next winter. In this
we erred. Mr. Leidig pledges himself
that he will vote , against that or any
similar hilt that May be presented next
whiter, should he be re-elected. We
make this correction without solicitation,
cheerfully, for we have no desire to mis
represent him orry one.
IT ISnow conceded that the Republi
can ticket in Philadelphia will he elected
by a very large majority. Mayor Fox's
police. and 'the Democratic ticket have
dont much to make our victory certain.

BOLD ROBBERY IN DAYLICOIT-BC-
Doan Porty and Fifty Dollars - Stolen.—
Yestcrday agoinoOn, about four o'clock
some thief stole between forty and fifty
dollars out of the nuwoy drawer of the
Franklin House; /the clerk, harry
Crouse, had just stepped into the dining
room, ;to leave some orders regarding
supper, and during his absence, which
was only about five minutes, some person'
had access to the drawer and stole there
from five orQfix five dollar bills, and be
tween ten and tweuty dollars in one and
two's.
The person taking the currency was,
evidently, no stranger to the Franklin
House, for in the selection of the money
it seems as if he just knew where to lay
his hands.-
lle did not bother himself touching
any fritctionol currency, as there was
about 4fteen dollars left in the drawer.
possey!! dad a very big run of cus
tom on the day in question, which will
account for the'dfaWalreing so "flush.'t
Two'or three parties are very strongly
suspected of committing the robbery,
and their movements are carefully, scruti
nized by the police ; which, we hope Will
lead to their ultimate arrest:

VALUABLE PROFEILTIEB FOR BALE,—We
:would call attention to. the advertise r
merits of sales of the following valuable
reate'state, to lie. found . :in this issue of
TUE HERALD :
.Two valuable limestone farms situated
in-Mortroe township, about one mile frOm
Churehtown, are offered at privAte:sale
by John Lutz.
J. C. Coover offers, at private
, sale,
valuable property, situated in Penn town
ship, about one and ono-fourth miles
south-east - of Centreville. -
samuel Beillebower offers, at private
sale, a farm of one hundred and forty
five adres.of limestone land. Limestone
soil and iron ore abounds in different
parts. This propertyis situated in West
•Pennsboro' township, about two and one
half milts south of Nowville.
The executors of llozekiah Yoter, de
ceased, Offer at public sale, on the prem
ises, in North Middleton township, on
Thursday, September 8, the mansion
farm of the deceased. Also, at the same
time and place, a tract of slate land ad
joining the same.
J. N. Allen offers at public sale, on the
premises, in .Greason, on Saturcliii, Au
gust 27, a house and double or two
lots. This would be a splendid location
for an. enterprising mechanic ; or for a
persfin wishing to farm, as land can be
obtained in the neighborhood. .
MiannETs.=--Spring chickens were very
plenty on Saturday morning last, and
consequently the fowls were offered at
comparatively low figures, from thirty
five to eighty cents per pair.
Butter was very scarce, a great many
persohs being unable to obtain any at all.
It sold readily at twenty-five and thirty
cents per pound. We are at a loss to
account for the scarcity of this article,
at the present time, for the grass fields
were never in better, condition for pas
turing stock than now ; some of our
friends from the rural districts say that
it is owing to the "dog days," as lunch
cows never do so well (hiring the heated
term, as the remainder of the year.
Whatever maybe the., reason, one thing
is certain,. that butter commands an un-
usually high price for the season.
We qubte eggs at twenty-two to Wen
ty.-five cents per dozen. If- the Income.
Tax were once removed, we think cigs
would decline in price
The high blackberries are now offered .
in our markets, command six and eight
cents per quart.
Huckleberries or whortleberrles are
yet very plenty, and sell at eight and
ton-cents per quart.
Tomatoes still range,very high in price,
and we notice some country' ones offered
iu Market. They se.ll at forty and fifty
cents per peck
- --Apples and-pears are very plenty
peaches, too, aro being ciflbred more
-freely,-but at high- prices,-seventy - and
eighty cents per peck being realized for
them.
SUDDEN - DF,ATtr.--Our community was
startled on Saturday Morning last, by
the sudden death of Mrs. Catharine Sel
lars, relict of the late John Sellers, de
ceased, aged about seventy_three years,
residing on the corner of East loutlfer
and Bedford streets. The following are
the particulars attending her death, as
far as we were able to ascertain : The
deceased arose at a very early hour, and
when her daughter, Mrs. Von Hellen,
came down: stairs, she was busily engaged
in sweeping .the parlor, to all appear
ances its her usual good- health. Mrs.
V., as was lief usual custom, proceeded
to market, and returned in Shout fif
teen minutes. On entering the rear
gate, the first sight that met her eye
was the outstretched form of her mother.
She immediately gave the :darn', when
aid coining to her assisfance-her mother
Was carried into Ake house, when she ex
pired in a few moments. It is presumed
that while engaged in sweeping, feeling
a fainting sensation, she made her way
to the door to breathe the fresh air, and
then fainted away, and was found by
her daughter in the manner above de
scribed. .
Coroner David Smith being notified,
Summoned ajury composed of the •fol
loWing gentlemen; Dr. S. P. Ziegler, P.
Monyer, John Harris, P. pinkie,' W. H:
Smith and Theodore Cornman. After
hearing all the facts in the case, the jury
pronounced death From apoplexy.`= '
The deceased *haS — rosided In our bor.
ough for many years, and was well known
throughout the community. Her re-
mains were interred in the public grave

PRESBYTERIAN SUNDAY SCIIOOI. PIC.
NIC.—A. Ride-Over the soya
R.—On last Friday morning the Sabbath
Schools of the First and Second-Presbyte
rian churches, left Carlisle for hunter's
Run, in the cars of the -S. M. R. R.
About five hundred persons rode out in
the - cars in the morning, besides a num
ber more in the afternoon train, and a
number drove out, making, probably,
some six hundred present, all told. The
ride. out to the picnic grounds is delight
ful, and it was our good fortune to se,'
cure a seat in an open car, with merely
a , cover over thO - tep as a shield from the
sun, and nothing to obstruct the view of
the 'country. From Carlisle to Mount
Holly the road passes through as fine,
and as highly :cultivated agricultural
country as, can be. found ally place in the
State. Finely fenced farms, magnificent
farm houses, large barns,. and choice
orchards line the road on either side.
After leaving - Mount Hdlly, the road
winds its way_up the South Mountain
through a most romantic country. About
three miles up the mountain the train
stopped, and the picnic grounds of Thin
ter's Rim wore reached. A small, bit
very seket party conclude - a to see the end
of the road. Ainoug the party to Ping
Grove was a judge, banker, lawyer, a
wholesale notion man, and a number of
other distinguished gentlemen, besides
several ladies.
The trip up the mountain was splendid,
and as a pleasure trip we know of no
More delightful ride than from Carlisle
to Pine Grove, over the S. M. R. R. At
Pine Grove the Iroui works of that place
were inspected by the party, and - a, lunch
partaken of. The gentlemanly manager
of the works, Capt. Marks was absent
much to UM' regret of all, and only re
turned 'in time to say "Good. Bye."
After a pleasant rifle down the motiutain,,
all being in exuberant spirits, flunter's
Run was reached and the 'ifty joined
the picnic ; and partook of a hearty (Me
ilen
Everything during the day passed „off
to the satisfaction of all. Hunter's Hun

it is evidently appreciated by tho people,
from the number that are being hold
there thik 'season.
